Barns at the Sussex Co. Almshouse
Burned.

(From Our Layton Correspondent
During the heavy thunder show
er on Wednesday afternoon of
last week the barn at the Sussex
Co Aims house was struck by light
ming and burned. The main barn
was so feet square, with 20 foot
posts, and set on a quarried stone
foundation. The COW barn attach
ed was 80 40 feet with 1S foot
posts. Near by was another COW
barn and machine house 80 x 20 feet
with IA loot posts. These were all
burned.
In the main barn was 5000
sheaves of rye, and about so tons of
hay, both old and new. Owing to
there being several persons in the
basement. where they had just fin
ished milking, the 3S COWS, bull
and head of horses were gotten
out in safety. The farm machinery
was also saved with the exception
of a fodder cutter and a threshing
machine, harness, heavy spring
wagon and three lumber wagons.
Although there were six persons in
the building at the time it was
struck, none of them received any
serious injury from the shock The
loss to the county will be consider
able as the insurance of $1,000 does
not more than half cover the loss.
The set of buildings burned cost
new over 1000, and it does not look
like good business methods to have
carried so light an insurance where
the risks are so great.

Pinned Under a Log for Three Hours.

Christopher Holden about eigh-
teen years of age, son Of Nicholas
Holden, of Dingmap township.
met with a poinful aC1Aent on Sat-
urday last while loading logs in the
woods some distance from the house.
He had been making a certain num-
Der of trips daily, being long time
overdue his mother became very
much worried and sent Will, who
happened to be home, to look for
him.
When found he was pinned to the
ground under log twenty-five feet
long and was unable to move. Will
Immediately freed him from his
perilous condition. His right leg
was found to be broken and his
chest badly bruised. He was re-
moved to the house and DIR. Emer
son called, who set the limb.
When discovered by his brother,
Chris. he was perfectly conscious
and related how it had all happened.
While loading the log from the skid
way to the wagon his caDt-hook
slipped, the log swung round and
one end pinned him fast.
The limb was set with little or no
difficulty and the physician expects
a speedy knitting of tue bone.

A Risky Business.

An old Erie employee was inter
viewed by a PRESS representative
soon after the occurrence of the
railroad accident at Port Jervis last
week on his profession, viz. railroad
ing, and as to whether there was a
greater risk of life connected with
the making up of tiains, braking,
firing, engineering, ETC., ETC., than
at any other industry or enterprise.
He said: II know of no man at
work on the Erie Railroad or any
other railroad that hasn't at some
time met with an accident of some
kind, if it was nothing more than
the losing of a finger, which of
course is very small matter.
81 have helped carry men off the
track with legs off, some with heads
severed from the body, Others all
cut to pieces when it was difficult
task to distinguish whether it be a
human being, the clothing only
sewing to make the distinction.
One or two railroad men were
brought to his memory as not hav-
ing yet been injured, but he ex-
claimed they had miraculusly es-
capped so far, and if they continued
in the business it seemed impossible
for them to miss injury.
He also said he had been in the
employ of the Erie road for long
long time and was a careful handler
of trains, but, nevertheless some few
years ago he himself was pinned
under a car dump until life was al
most extinct. One shoulder was
crushed and he received several bat
cuts and bruises.
The accidents of last week at p
j. were horrible in the extreme
but were doubtless due to careless
ness to an extent.

: THE MONTAGUE CHURCH.
A Brief Historical Sketch Prepared
By Rev. s. W. Mills.

By Rev. s. w. Mills.
We are pleased to copy from the
Port Jervis Gazette a brief history
of this old church which was found
ed thirty nine years before the Rev
olutionary war, which sketch was
especially written for that paper
The Reformed Dutch Church, of
Minisink, at Montague, was organi-
zed August 23d, 1877, by George
Wilhelmus Manclus, of Esopus, now
Kingston. AT the same time and
by the same person were organized
the Reform Dutch Churches of Ma
hackamach, or Deerpark, of Wal
pack and of Smithfeld. For four
years after the organization of these
churches they were without a pas
tor, but depended on occasional sup
plies.
The first pastor of the four, joint
ly, was the Rev. Johannes Casparus
Fryenmoct, born in Switzerland,
and who was settled June 1st, 1741.
His most acceptable services in this
widely ext ended field continued for
IS years until he was driven out by
the Indian massacres prevailing in
this region in August, 1856. When
and where the first house of wor-
ship for the Minisink church was
erected we have been unable tc
learn.
After Mr.. Fryenmoct's departure
the church was vacant for four
years, until 1850, when the Rev,
Thomas Romeyn became the second
pastor in connection with the other
churches, and remained such for
twelve years when, in consequence
of the disturbed state of the coun-
try, growing out of the coming rev.
olution, he accepted a call from
Montgomery county.
The third pastor was the Rev.
Elias Van Benschoten, who became
such in 1885, closing his, services
here in 1899.
The fourth minister was the Rev
John Demarest, from 1903 to 1908
The Rev. G.. c. Elting was the mex
form 1916 to 1887, in connection
with Port Jervis. The Rev. S. b
Ayres succeeded Mr.. Elting and re
mained the sole pastor for three yrs
Since then the church has haC
numerous pastors, having conclud
ed, after 100 years of joint service
with other churches, to have its owl
pastor The succeeding clergymel
have been: Revs. j. Bookstaver
j. II. Demarest, d. A. Jones, c
Gates, w, Cornell, w. L. Moore
w. Turner. 7. Fitzgerald, j. L. Still
well, Joseph Millet and Gilber
Lane.

Drowned Near Fallings Springs.

Lewis Gordon, of West Pittston
Pa, brother of Jervis Gordon of
our town, was drowned in the Sus-
quehanna river opposite Falling
Springs, during the height of a heavy
rainstorm which struck that locality
Wednesday July IL. In company
with r. H. Green he had gone up
the river on a fishing trip, and about
4 p. IN. a squall struck and capsized
the boat. Both men were thrown
out, and the noise of the falling rain
and the waves on the shore drowned
the cries. Green grasped the boat
and was saved, but Mr.. Gordon who
was a good swimmer struck out for
the shore. His advanced age rs yrs
was too great handicap and his
strength gave out and he sank to rise
no more. He was printer by trade
having learned the business in the
Office of the Belvidere Apollo, and in
1858 became its owner. Subsequent
I he sold out, went to Easton and be-
came proprietor of the Farmer and
Sept 1866, founded the Easton Free
Press. At the time of his death he
was connected with Pittston paper

A DELUGE OF CITY PEOPLE
EcIipsing the Crowd Landed at
Port Jervis Two Weeks
Ago Saturday,
MILFORD AND MONTICELLO
PRINCIPAL POINTS.
All Liveries Well Patronized Here
A Double Header Pulled the 1910
Train to Monticello,

A deluge of people, eclipsing the
number carried to Monticello
two weeks ago, took passage from
New York and was landed at Port
Jervis Saturday noon. Never be-
fore had the Monticello road seen
such day as they experienced on
Saturday.
Two engines were necessary to
pull SIX overloaded coaches, includ-
ing two Pullman cars, up the noun
tain sides to that popular summer
resort.
Baggage, consisting of trunks,
grips, bicycles and baby carriages
were piled on the train in every
inch of space available excepting on
the roofs of the cars.
A special coach was run through
from N. Y. on the Erie to St.
Joseph's SanitNrium for the ac.
commodation of 60 Sisters of st.
Catharine's Hospital of Brooklyn.
Each week special cars are run for
them carrying from so to $50 to and
and from that beautiful and health
giving resort.
Findley's stage line run several
extra wagons to Port Jervis for
guests who came in large numbers
on every n. Y. train. Lumber wag-
ons had to be made use of for cart
ing baggage as all platform wagons
were run for people only.
Erie trains for Niagura Falls and
western points were heavily loaded
and were invariably late.
The one dollar excursion to New
York and return on Sunday was
largely patronized and carried an
enormous number of eXcursionists
from P. j. and Middletown. A
special baggage car was attached to
this train for bicycles, and special
ferry boat was run for the accom-
mediation of all who desired a short
sail up the Hudson to Grants Tomb.
The return trip was made from
Chambers St., N. Y. at z 40 p. m.

L. A. W. Notes.

With the growth of the Pennsyl-
vania division, which is now over
1900 ahead of New York IN L. A.
W. membership, it has been necess-
ary to look for ways and means by
which unnecessary expenses might
be curtalled in order to provide
funds for the really necessary eX-
penses to carry on the affairs of the
divisions and keep it in its present
leading position. With this idea in
view the secretary treasurer has
suggested two amendments which
will be acted upon at a special meet
ing of the State representatives to be
held at the Bourse Building in Phil
adelphia on the the gath inst, and
as the benefits to be derived are self
apparent they will pass without op-
position.
The first of these amendments
does away with the useless expense
of printing and postage for ballots
for the election of delegates which
are returned unchanged" year af.
ter year from all over the State The
value of such an amendment can
easily be seen, considering the fact
that it takes some $3.50 for the print
ing and postage of these same bal
lots.
Last season." claims the secre-
tary treasurer, "the returns were
almost identical with those of the
previous year, there being only two
changes made in the entire divisions
will save the expense of sending out
these slips when such action becomes
a matter of formal, though of course
any number of nominations may still
be made Where there is more than
one candidate, or set of candidates
for any Office the election will nat
urally be conducted by printed bal
lot mailed to all members as be
fore.
The other amendments asks fol
the striking out of the section pro
viding for hotel expenses to thu
delegates to the State conventions
This is found necessary, owing t.
the number of delegates and is more
over nothing but just when it il
taken into consideration that tn
delegates elected to represent thi
division at fine National Assembly
wherever it may be held, are oblig
ed to pay their own expenses.

Fireman Injured

Fireman Skinner met with a pain
full accident on Friday last at Port
Jervis while attempting to jump
from coal car to the baggage car
on his train. His head struck the
top of the baggage car, it being
somewhat lower that the coal car,
and he fell to the ground injuring his
hip quite badly and scraping the
skin off the whole length of his
shin. He was picked up by the en-
gineer. Another fireman had to be
substituted for Skinner who went
home.

Cure for Ivy Poisoning.

So many persons are susceptible
to poisoning by ivy that frequently
the pleasure of ramblesin the woods
is greatly diminished through fear
of being injured. The poisoning
principle of the plant is volatile
oil which adheres very closely to the
skin and clothing of persons coming
in contract with it. A wash made
of an alcoholic solution OF acetate of
of lead; fifty to seventy five per
cent alcohol is recommended in which
sugar of lead dead acetate) is dis
solved, until the alcohol will hold
no more IN solution. Application
should be made several times in the
course of two or three days. The
solution will give immediate relief.
Great care must be taken in using
the sugar of lead, as it is very poison
GUS taken internally.

CECIL RHoDES'S scheme to carry
railroad straight through the dark con-
tinent from one endto the other is to be
compared with our own trunk lines
joining two oceans, and with the great
ns-Siberian railroad which will uni
fy the Russian empire. Within ten or
fifteen years it is likely that Africa will
be as completely,mapped as South Anne
RIGA is now, and it's means of communt-
cation will be as we'll developed. Com
petition is so fierce there that money
will be poured out like sand ty
the several nations most In
volved. News comes that a French
company has been organized with the
approval of the government to con-
struct railway line through the de-
sert of Sahara from the Mediterranean
coast to the Gulf of Guinea. The north
ern terminus will be Tunis. and the
line will run due south q distance of
about 1000 miles to the Niger terri
tory, and then eastward to the French
portion of the Congo valley. The cost
is estimated at $50, 900, 600.

UNCONDITIONAL surrender is the
only answer that General Otis will &C
cept from the ENJOYS of the Filipi-
nos. The truce was short, and seems
to have happened rather than to have
been planned. Hostilities were resum-
ed in earnest yesterday, and unless the
Filipinos soon decide to comply with
the requirements set for them by Gen
eral Otis they will have to suffer con-
tinuance of the terrible losses that
have afflicted them ever since the first
attack upon our troops. However, it
looks as if the exercise of moderate
degree of frmness on the part of our
commanders in the islands will soon
force the capitulation of the enemy.
Every one will approve the deter
mination expressed by the military
governor to refuse to treat with the
enemy until after their arms have
been laid down. 1t Is now known that
the "F'ilipino congress" is an 'irrespon-
sible aggregation of self elected re-
