Death of John Springer.

Yesterday morning the sad news was
spread that John Springer was dead.
Early last spring he was seized with
meningeal trouble and though the fam
lily physician had but little hope from
the first, the young man made brave
fight and has lived all these months.
During the summer he had periods of
seeming convalesence followed by re-
lapses. Some days ago he was taken
much worse, and the end came at p.
m. Wednesday, Nov. 18th.
The deceased was born at Norwich,
Ont, Sept. 20, 1876; and was therefore
past "a years old at death. 1t is sad to
contemplate young man Of strength
and promise thus stricken down in the
prime of early manhood, and in this
sad bereavement the family have the
sympathy of all. The funeral service
here will be conducted by the Brother
hood of r. II. Trainmen, of which de-
ceased was member. After this the
body will be taken to Norwich, where
the funeral rites of the r. g. church
will be performed, after which the in
terment will take place in Burgesville,

that A. w. Ferguson was dead. All
about the streets and in the stores
could be seen small groups talking in
hushed tones of the news. A citizen.
friend, friend to all had died; and
all alike felt the loss.
For many years past the deceased
has been a resident of Yale, and was
prominent in business circles. He was
candidate for county treasurer on
the democratic ticket two years ago,
and the vote showed how popular he
was, not only at home but all over the
county. He has filled the office of
supervisor for Brockway township to
the honor and credit of himself and
the people whose servant he was. He
was honored by his fraternal brethren
by being made master of the Yale Ma
sonic Lodge. AS citizen and bust
ness man he was probably as widely
known as any man in this region, and
known everywhere with honor. AS
friend he was faithful, and the result
was that no one was more highly es-
teemed, or had more warm friends
than he. He has gone down to his
grave; but as a citizen, as business
man, as a friend and neighbor, he
leayes the path of honor behind him
in which path he was ever found.
He was born In Almont, Mich, Sept.
II, 1855, and was therefore in his 46th
year at the time of decease. He was
married to Miss NJ. A. Millkin on June
20, 1881. TO this union were born five
children, two of whom are living, Ma
belle and Hugh. He came to Yale to
engage in business in 1886.
The funeral will occur at s q. m. on
Sunday, Nov. 18th, after which the
body will be taken to Almont for fur.
ther service and interment.

DEATH OF A. W. FERGUSON.
YaIe's Most Prominent Citizen
Passes Away.

The announcement made last spring
that A. w. Ferguson was sick and his
disease was incurable was received by
all with profound sympathy and deep
sorrow by countless friends. When as
the months passed by it could be seen
by the wasting form and the feeble
step that the report was true, that
sympathy was much intensified. For
several weeks past he has been con-
fined to his home and bed, and for
some days the news of his death has
been hourly expected.
On Thursday morning, Nov. Sth, the
end came. and the sad news spread

Fulton resort, was heard. The case
was tried in the county Jail, and after
hearing all the evidence Justice Fitz-

evidence tending to show that Gross

the flowing bowl at the time and was
not responsible for his doings.

and resides out the pike. He said on
the goth Of July he was paid $3.50. After
paying OF some small debts he pro-
ceeded to get on the outside OF q con-
siderable quantity of the amber fluid.
He said he got mixed up with some
boon companions in Fulton. and they
endeavored to teach him the art OF
spending money. They finally landed
at the Parker resort, and Gross spent
money with lavish hand. The evil
dence was OF a rather tangled nature,
and It required considerable cudgellng
of the genial squire's brains to unravel
