Among the presents lately showered upon
a rural bride was one that was the gift OF
an old lady in the neighborhood, with
whom both bride and groom were prime

Some years ago the old lady accumulated
supply of cardboard notices, which she
worked and had framed as occasion arose.
In cheerful reds and blues, suspended by

which the other presents were grouped,

singuIar case 81. Iinsanity.

:
MisssH Hanna Rhodes, OF Preston, was
Examined and committed to the Roch-
ester asylum week ago. On the day
previous to that upon which she was
taken-i INTO custody. Miss Rhodes left
Preston, and boarding the morning
train rode as far as Canton, where she
aighted. At Canton for the first time
she saw John. .Frego, and her mental
unbalance betrayed itself in the form
of a violent attachment for the man,
who was an entire stranger. Follow
ing the dictates Of this mania, Miss
Rhodes refused to be parted from
Frego and was unwilling to leave him,
even when her relatives, who had been
summoned from Preston, arrived and
ndeavored tostake her home. It was
finally decided that she must be re-
moved to Rochester, and Frego, to
avoid trouble, consented to accompany
the party. Under this arrangement,
Miss Rhodes went willingly to the
asylum, and after a violent love scene,
Frego was able to make his escape and
return to his home. On his arrival at
Canton tit-:w discovered that Frego
was quite as insane as Miss Rhodes
and upon the same subject. He de
clared himself violently in love with
Miss Rhodes, and expressed his deter
minationto marry her as soon as she
was released from the asylum. Frego's
case developed so rapidly that it was
necessary to put him under restraint.
Later he was examined and committed
to the Rochester asylum.
The Law is Not Good. E.
The law providing for a 500 bounty
for the arrest and conviction of a horse
thief has become imperative through
what appears to have been an error in
printing the bill. The law of 1895 read:
''That the sum of 5000 be paid to any
person or persons for the arrest and
conviction of each and every person
that steals horse or horses from any
person or persons in this state" This
was amended in 1897 to read: "That
the sum of 800 be paid to any person
Or persons for the arrest and convic-
ton of any person or persons in this
state" which means nothing. Judge
Kelley, of St. Paul, in passing SEN
tence upon the application of Thomas
E., West and August Volk for a bounty
for the arrest of Joseph Smith, called
attention to this reading and denied
the application, there being no author
ity permitting him to grant it.

Faithful p. r. r. Attaohe Cut in

There was a said accident in the Penn

company who faithfully performed the
duties assigned to him was run down by
a locomotive and literally cut IN two. AS
William Boyd the policeman who so
ably conserves the place at the station

and those who claim good memories de-
clare that he was born on the site Of the

early age he displayed such an aptitude

train shed.
Every one had a kind word for him
and always stopped to return his cordial

ticular duty which he performed obliged
him to cross and recross the tracks at
frequent intervals and search under the
platforms At first he was very careful
and always kept a sharp lookout for ap-
preaching locomotives when at work. but
as familiarity always breeds contempt,
he soon lost all fear of danger and
many werfe the hair breath escapes he
had in the past.
But as the pitches which goes to the

its usefulness, so the deceased lost his
life This morning his work compelled

THE RECORD SMASHED.
Police Covered Themselves
With Glory Handling
the Returns.

The police of this city covered them
selves with glory in handling the election
returns from the entire city. The record

hour. When the totals from the ninety
four precincts were received at head
quarters, the efficient force selected by
the Chief and under the direction of Col

turns were right up to the handle in their
work. The force was not increased over
the last election force In all there were
thirteen workers"
The Police Court, where Inspector
Samuel A. Archibald read off the returns,
was crowded to the doors. More than
three. hundred people managed to squeeze
In to listen to the glad tidings of Demo-
cratic victory. The results elected ap-
plause on several occasions. but order
was always maintained. Four officers,
Frank MoGuirk, Peter ]. Cannon, Edward
Harrington and John Waters, were in
charge OF the court room. At no time
was there any disorder.
Inspector Archibald filled the position
of former Inspector Lange to perfection.
Last night was the first time that the
Inspector handled the returns, and this he
did satisfactorily.
Assistant City Collector Thomas Mig
gins was at Police Headquarters all the
evening. He looked after the returns for
the Robert Davis Association.
The election was carried on without any
trouble Only two arrests were made for
violating the election law, but each of the
men was Immediately released. One of
the men was Fred La Turette, who was
registered from Meschutt's Hotel, No. 90

his family, moved to a suburban town

family physician. He did not register, ex-

Maurice Stack:-The victory is due
principally to the splendid generalsnip OF

James C. Clarke Besides the splendid

DISASTROUS FIRE.
Eastern Granite Roofing
Company Totally
Destroyed.
MRS. LONG WAS INJURED.
Horse Knocked Her Down
and Tender Ran Over
Both Legs.

IA disastrous fire occurred shortly after
six o'clock at the works of the Eastern
Granite Roofing Company on Eleventh
street, between Provost and Henderson
streets. The works are a total loss.
About six O'Clock the fremen attached
to Engine Company No. 6, and the men
of Truck Company No. 2, were awakened
by the sound of a fire alarm from the
locomotives in the Erie Railroad yards.
The blaze could be easily seen from the
rear windows of both houses. The fire.
men were on their apparatus In a few
seconds and were ready to start Truck
Company No. 2 went to rear of the build
ing while Engine Company No. located
on Provost street Lines were thrown on
the blaze as quickly as possible.
Captain Newly realized that the small
force on the scene could not cope with the
blaze so he turned in an alarm from Sig
nal box No 20 at Provost and Twelfth
streets. A second alarm was sent in as
soon as Chief Conway arrived. This
alarm was followed by the third and soon
nearly every apparatus north of Com
mundpaw avenue was on hand:
The blaze by this time was beyond con-
troll The works of the Roofing Company
were doomed. The streams from thir-
teen engines had but Mttle effect on the
blazing building. so Chief Conway ordered
his men to confine their attentions to the
adjacent property.
The big hay and feed storeroom owned
by Carscallan and Cassidy. at the corner
of Henderson and Twelfth streets, looked
as though 1t too would be doomed. The
building is a massive frame structure, and
had 1t blazed nothing would have saved
1t or its contents The corner OF the
building at one time caught fire but
the 1remen directed their streams in that
portion OF 1t and kept the building drench-
ed until the Roofing Works had cooled
on.
While the blaze was at its height Truck
Company No. 2 entered the second floor of
the warerooms. Under their weight and
the work of the flames on the drst hoor
the floor began to give Truckanan Hugh
Barclay struck the weakest position, and
had he gone several steps further would
have dropped TO the floor beneath and into
the raging fire. As it was Barclays

ward Barclay who grabbed 1t and was
pulled from his dangerous position. His
trousers were badly torn. He escaped
with few scratches. The members of
the Truck Company left the building just
as the floor crashed in.
During the entire time the buildings
were being consumed. the flames shot
high in the air, and the smoke ernanating
from the rolls of tar paper and barrels
of tar used in preparing the roofing ma
terials, which added to the Intensity of
the flames, was binding. 1t hampered
the work of the firemen to a great extent.
The tenement houses in the vicinity rap
idly filled with smoke and the tenants had
to vacate them for a short time.
After the firemen had managed to save
the feed and hay warehouse, they direct
ed thir attntions to the buildings occupied
by the Jersey City Milling Company, at
the corner of Eleventh and Henderson
streets. The flames for a time also
threatened these. 1t required a hard
fight on the part of the fremen to pre-
vent their destruction.
Hugh Henning, one of the managers of
the Roofing Co., estimated the loss as be-
tween s9o, 600 and SIS. .oo0 The loss is said
to be fully covered with insurance. No
cause could be given for the fire, but 1T is
said it was caused by pot of pitch
boiling over. At nine O'Clock when the
f1remen left the scene, the buildings were
a mass of smouldering ruins.
When the firemen, answering the alarm
sent out by the locomotives, Mrs. Helen
Long, fifty years old, OF No. 14S Twelfth
street, was knocked down by the horse
attached to the tender of Engine Com
pany No 6. The tender passed over both
of Mrs. Longs legs.
