OF INTEREST TO WHEELMEN.

At this time of the year when
city people are coming and going
in all directions over the roads they
are sometimes puzzled as to whether
the highways are in fit condition for
wheeling between points they wish
to travel.
Those who have visited Milford,
and in fact the State of Pennsyl-
vania, can generally rest assured
that the roads are in good shape for
cycling, but when trip through
Orange, Sullivan or Ulster counties
is contemplated it is invariably a
question hard to answer whether a
wheel might go a few miles without
receiving a puncture or breakdown
There are scarcely any good roads
in Sullivan county and very few in
Orange and Ulster due to the recent
hard rains and especially the storm
of Saturday night last which wash
ed everything clear, someplaces
carrying away bridges and doing
great damage to the road beds not
to be repaired very soon, and when
the road masters do wake up to their
duties, they order the road scraper
put in operation and the dirt, stones
and sod heaped in the middle of the
road making itimpossible it to get over
at all on a wheel as the COW path
which at first existed is ploughed
up leaving the cyclists in a sad
plight.
The tow-path is yet in excellent
condition and will doubtless be ali
the season, but if all kinds of wag.
ons are allowed to travel on it its
lasting qualities cannot exactly be
determined.
Any person wishing to go awhee
to Mlddletown or places in that sec
tion will find much easier ride b,
the towpath TO Wurtsboro and owe
the mountain to Bloomingburgh
thence to MiddletOwn, than viz
Otisville, which road is being repair
ed with crushed stone and to rid
is impossible. The former route i
10 miles longer but the distance i
not to be looked at compared will
the roughness of the other way.

GEORGETTA HUBBARD.

Georgetta Hubbard, who was so
severely burned last week, at the
residence of DR.. Kenworthy, by
having her clothes ignited by fall
ing down stairs while carrying a
lighted lamp, and who was taken to
the p. J. hospital Immediately there
after, died of her wounds at that IN
stitution early Friday morning, July
2Sth, aged about 16 years. She was
a daughter of George w, and Mary
E. Hubbard of Dingman township,
and was a young lady Of pleasant
appearance, agreeable manners and
by her conduct and faithfulness had
won a high place in the esteem, not
only of the family in which she re-
sided but also among her friends and
associates. Just budding into
womanhood, with all life's pleasures
dawning IN the vista Of her pathway
her fate is a sad one and the heart
felt sympathy of the community
went out to her in the terrible
accident which so soon terminated
fatally.
Besides the grief stricken parents,
who are called to mourn the loss of
one who had just arrived at a help
full age, she is survived by eleven
brothers and sisters. The funeral
conducted by Rev. Thomas Nichols
took place last Saturday at the res
idence of her father, and her re-
mains were deposited in the Milford
cemetery.

A PERSONAL TRIBUTE.
EDITOR Press =

EDITOR Press -
The death of John Findlay is not
only Il deplorable loss to the com
muuty, of a valuable and useful
citizen in his public capacity, but in
his more private sphere his memory
will be cherished for the many bene-
fits conferred upon his fellowmen.
1t is given to few men to he so uni
versally esteemed, and so widely
regretted Kind, thoughtful, con
siderate and sympathetic he was
never appealed to in vain for aid or
counsel.
The writer enjoyed the privilege
of his friendship for upwards of 25
years, and can bear witness to
many kind and neighborly services
rendered by Mr. Findlay. Bringing
hither my "household gods" and
assuming citizenship il Milford, in
1878, it happened to me frequently,
as it does to most persons newly
established in strange place, to
need many little kindly offices
which are necessary to stranger
by his lack OF familiarity with his
surroundings, and his ignorance of
Just where to look for the things he
requires. AT such times as these |
found Mr.. Findlay never failing
reliance, and l can never forget how
much he did for me and mine. When
1 looked upon his face for the last
| time, and met no answering smile
of recognition, l realized the full ex
tent of our bereavement.
His passing was untimely; the
good old man had not filled out his
allotted span of "three score years
and ten yet his burden of grief
had been heavy. He has entered
upon 1.-THE peace that passeth al
understanding, " and having over
come "the sharpness of death, we
would not call him back
"Nex not his ghost,
Oh, let him pass! He hates him
That would upon the rack of this rougl
world,
Stretch him out longer"

WRECKS ON THE ERIE.

Pike county seems destined to be
the scenes of terrible accidents along
the line of the Erie. A number of
years ago one occurred near Mast
Hope by which several people lost
their lives, and the outcome is mem
orable in the minds of many older
residents because of the subsequent
arrest and trial in our courts of
James Griffin, engineer Of the un
fortunate train, for misdemeanor
1t was on this trial that Judge
Woodward, of counsel for the de-
fendant, laid down to the jury the
proposition that it was the judge
not only of the facts but the law as
we'll. His words had more weight
with that body than did the charge
of Judge Barret, who presided, and
when the jury acquitted the defen
dant, so incensed was the latter that
after roundly scoring them he or
dered the names of the twelve good
men and true to be taken from the
panel and never again placed in the
wheel,
A train loaded with rebel soldiers
collided with a coal train at King
Fuller's cut in Shohola and the
number of dead, there were many,
was never accurately known. A
disaster at Carr's Rock, now Park
er's Glen, hurled several souls into
eternity, and more recently slide
near Shohola sent the train, on
which was Mrs. Langtry and Fred
die Gebhardt, to the river, causing
great destruction of life and prop
erty. 1t was at this wreck that
Alexander Newman, former Della
ware township boy, who was fire.
man, lost his life. Another, chroni-
cled elsewhere, is now added to the
list. This last occurred very near
the spot where the rebel train was
demolished. The road runs through
a wild section of the county, in
many places sheer precipices descend
for many feet to the river and the
rocks overhang above for several
hundred feet No human care OF
foresight or efficiency of manage.
ment can avert the calamity when
as in the case of Griffin, it was
shown that his action in starting VI
his engine just at the moment when
the passenger train was laundering
past was the cause, or of the sudder
land slide at Shohola by which the
freight was derailed, or the passen
ger train suddenly thrown from the
tracks. These may be called the
acts of God, and no matter how
vigilant the officials or careful the
employees, cannot be foreseen OF
guarded against. We deplore the
calamity, which without warning
places many souls before the bar o.
justice, but when the cause is be.
yond human ken we can only sym
pathize with the fact and mourn
with those bereaved.
