Death o, Mrs. Chas. B. Swift.

The news of the sudden death OF
Mrs. C. B. Swift of Garfield, who died
last Thursday noon from an attack
acute Bright's disease was a severe
shock to many people in Morrisville,
where she was Well-known and held
in high esteem. She was i'll but a
short time, passing away before the
family physician, who had been sum-
mond, could reach her.
Mrs. Swift was 80 years of age ard
was daughter of Chas. S. Hastings
of Gilmore. She received an education
at Peoples Academy and Green
Mountain Seminary, and taught
school for some time afterwards.
She was united in marriage to Chas.
B. Swift. To this union was born two
children, Louise, who is now aged
nine years, and George aged eight,
both of whom, with the grief stricken
father, survive her. Besides the i'm
mediate family she leaves a father,
three brothers and a sister, Mrs. W.
W. Talbert of this place.
She was ever ready to lend a help
ing hand where help was needed, and
gave freely both time and money to
help forward any good cause.
The funeral services were held at
Garfield last Saturday afternoon at
1:30, Rev, O. NJ Boutwell, officiating.
The bearers were Herbert, Willard
and George Hastings and Will Tai
bert. The large attendance and the
many floral offerings attest to the
high esteem in which she was held.
Interment was in the cemetery on
Hyde Park Plains. The deepest sym.
pathy of all go out to the aft cted
ones in their great bereavement.

Annual NiIIane Meefinn.

The warning is posted for the an-
Rual village meeting to be held Mon
day, May 10, 1901, at 7:30 p. m.
No declarations of war have yet been
heard and unless something unusual
happens it promises to be a very
genteel affair.
A portion of article three is to elect
a Board of five Trustees. The pres
ent Board has been in power for the
past three years, and has given ex-
cellent satisfaction. This Office is
largely an honorary one and not re-
markably remunerative and the pres
ent incumbents have probably re-
ceived enough honor to satisfy their
craving should they be turned down
at the village election. 1t seems,
however, to a casual observer, that
inasmuch as the present Board work
we'll together and are just beginning
repairs on the sideswalks and other
improvements, if they can be prevail
ed upon to serve again, they are bet
tered prepared to do the work than
a new Board would be.
Article eight of the warning is to
see if the village will vote to furnish
water free of charge for the public
watering place or drinking fountain
Comment upon such a commendable
article is unnecessary. The fountain
will be furnished by the ladies of the
Woman's club, and it is understood
will be placed in or near Academy

sisted of a piano duet by Misses Park

ing, Miss Cora Woodward; solo, Mrs.

Gale an enjoyable social hour was

The Hardwick Academy baseball
team came down last Saturday and
tackled the Peoples Academy nine.
After long, but not especially ex-

by score of 81 to 16, the visitors
making the majority of their credit
marks in two innings. The Hardwicks
are a gentlemanly crowd of young
men and played a clean game. One
of their weak points was their Inability
to do team work. The same trouble
was observed, in less noticeable de-
gree, in the work of the home team.
Special mention might properly be
made of the work ofSmith, short stop

for MorrisvilIe, did good work, the
former making a very clever double
in the first half of the second, which

SUCH ACCOUNTS telegrsphed from
South Afrios of surrenders of garrisons
after the killing of three or four men
and the wounding of few more, strike
the old Confederate soldiers as strange
indeed. During the civil war such oc-
ourrences we're not even mentioned
aud we're hardly considered q "brush,"
for during those days which tried mems
souls, men were killed and wounded BY
the thousand and the burying OF the
dead was an undertaking second only
to the winning OF q battle. But not
withstsnding the improved arms and
line equipment Of the modern armies,
almost as many men were killed 10 q

JUDGE NORTON of the Corporation
Court for this city decided q very i'm
portant case yesterday 10 the suit Of
Strauss vs. Downey-the first case oil
the kind, it Is believed, that has been
decided since the rendering OF the de-
oison by the Court OF Appeals some
months ago, wherein II was held that the
remsinderman was not held responsible
for the taxes on property which were
payable during the life tenancy.
Judge Norton held, as stated in yes.
~PsrN--srO-.,,sI- ooeavo ih sno UlII mieu-
toned for taxes for the reason that the
taxes on the property were payable by
the life tenant and constituted lien
only on the life estate. 10 other words,
if property is left to a person during
his or her life and the taxes on that
property are not collected during the
life of the life tenant, then the remain.
dermen or persons who become heirs
to the property cannot be compelled to
pay the back taxes. This will of course
cause the loss to the State, cities and
counties of much money now supposed
to be due, but will. in turn, have the
effect of stimulating treasurers and COL
leotors of taxes to more properly per.
form their duties or suffer the loss them
selves.
