By q vote Of II to Sc. the Board of Aldermen
Yesterday afternoon about 6 o'clock approved
the Pennsylvania Railroads application for a
tunnel franchise. The only absentee was Mr..
oatnaan CRep). who was reported ILL., Alder
man John J. Twomey did not vote
The action of the aldermen opens the way for
the Pennsylvania people to carry out their
gigantic plans for tunnelling under Manhattan
island and the North and East rivers, building
q large station between Seventh and Eighth
ayes. and Thirty-first and Thirty-third sts-.
extensive terminal facilities in the Borough of
Queens and connecting freight line from Bay
Ridge through Brooklyn and Queens and q por-
tion Of The Bronx to q connection with the
New-York New-Haven and Hartford.
The proposed improvements Will shorten the
time between Nev-YorI's theatre and hotel dis
trict and Southern points by fully one hour,
and will yield to the city in franchise rentals
and increased taxes about Sooo.oOo year as
soon as the tunnel is built
Big Tim Sullivans friends in the board
furnished the few votes necessary to make
ma jority for the franchise, while at the same
time Little Tim Sullivan, John T. Mccall and
Reginald s Doull made loud. but cheap plays
TO convince the labor organization people that
Tammany was their friend in opposing the
franchise
The friends of the franchise owe much to the
indeDendence manifested by Charles v fornes,
president of the board; Borough Presidents
Haffen Cassidy and Swanstrom and Alderman
Owens all of whom Democrats, and VINO
nrohably carried along with them several other
Democratic votes Great credit also is due 10
the Republican and fusion leaders on lhe Ilooi,

A MAHAsKA PIONEER.

Among the very few old time resi-
dents of Mahaska county who date
their advent back into the forties is
Mrs. Azariah Flanders, of Jefferson
township whose birthday was celebrat-
ed by neighbors and friends at the
home of her daughter, Mrs. Daniel
Mattix, on September %. Mrs. Elan
ders was born in 1922, in Cayuga coun-
ty, New York, her maiden name being
Matilda ]. Strang When five years
old she moved with her parents to
Erie county in wagon. On June IL,
1S4I, she was united in marriage to
Azariah Flanders, in Chautauqua coun-
ty, and together they moved to Port
age county, Ohio, in the fail of 1S41,
then to Wellsville by wagon. Here
they took passage yon a boat on the
Ohio river to carlo, and from there 70

by wagon to Van Buren, county, Iowa,
where they arrived on the first day
of June, 1912. Here they rented a

some cattle wlIH them it fell to Mrs.
Flanders lot to drive the stock on
foot over the prairies. They arrived
in Scott township, Mahaska county,
Iowa, about one mile below Rochester,
and crossed the Des Moines river in
a canoe Here they settled on 800
acres of land, part timber and part
prairie, in Sec. "a, which is now known
as North Jefferson township. Their
first home was log cabin in which

They had to go to mill with team to
Keosauqua. Sometimes it would take
three weeks to make the trip, as each
man would have to wait his turn at
the mill. The first money they re-
ceived to pay on their land was for
hogs sold for S1.50 per cwt., dressed,
delivered on the river on boat, and
two yoke of oxen for which they re-
ceiyed $50. To pay county govern
ment expenses they were taxed on the
first ten acres of corn raised on their
form in the year of 1874. Most all Of
their trading was done at Keosauqua
for several years, as Oskaloosa was

FOR GOOD ROADS.
Another Correspondent Who Wants
 Bucks Hill Road Repaired.

Another Correspondent Who Wants
 Bucks Hill Road Repaired. To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir:-Being one of the petition CTS for state road in place of the present apology to the Bucks Hill dis trict, am consequently interested in the controversy over it in your col umns recently.
 The petitioners for the improvement are residents and property owners. It is not because they wish to enhance the value of their land, as stated, but to provide means of travel with some degree of safety and comfort It seems to me good business proposi- tion for the city, they paying only one third the cost for a good, substantial road. As taxpayers we are entitled to a better one. We have good ali and a schoolhouse and are thankful that one particular individual has nothing to do with the former or we would not get that. Waterville would need it all.
 The Waterville road is in good con l dition all the time and easily kept so There is also a trolley that few pat ronize forget itD, but some people cannot help it if they do want ths earth. Perhaps if there was similar attraction in this vicinity the fcow l nath'' might be used as much as tn l Waterville road.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS

John Brown of 70 Clark street left Saturday for q short visit with friends in New York.
 "A pleasant sociable was given at the home of Miss Deborah Fitzgerald on Railroad Hill street last evening.
 There is a new alderman in Brook lyn. 4 son was born to Alderman ana Mrs Stephen O'Brien of South Leonard street on Saturday.
 Peter Burkanskas of Union City and Miss Mary Matulaite of Union City were married at St Joseph's churcn this morning at 8 o'clock by the Rev Father Sanusaitis.
 | TTIt is probable that in short time the residents of South Leonard street will send in an application to the board of aldermen asking that the sidewalks on South Leonard street will be ex- tended from their present terminus to the end of the street. This is a move in the right direction. There are i'l- provements which are needed and which would enhance the value of the | property on that street and add to tue appearance of the street. Of course | movements are rather costly and of ten people cannot afford to pay for | them.
 One of the most brilliant enter tainments given by any club in thls l city recently was the private vaude- vile entertainment held at the Lyceun Saturday night. It was under the d. rectIon of the Amphion Vaudeville club, whose membership includes all the best amateurs in the city. Among the artists who appeared were John De Forrest, Dulro and Le Claire, Whiting and Patrick Clark. The troupe will furnish entertainments for number of fairs and private socia- bles which will be held in the near future.
 Large congregations were present both at the morning and evening ser vice at the Third Congregational
 church yesterday The unusually
 large attendance was due to the fact that tho pastor of the church, Rev C.
 E. Granger, was going to preach lis
 farewell sermon. In the evening the
 Rev MT Granger spoke on ''Jesus
 Christ" This subject was divided into
 five heads: Seer of the Ages" "Trut
 and Faithful Friend,' Example oi
 RighIeousness and Good Works,
 s'Lover of Little Children and "Sayiol
 and Redeemer" The musical program
 was of fine nature. Selections were rendered by a quartet consisting oi Thomas Morgan, John Guthrie ans
 the Misses Morgan and Agnes Mackie The Rev and Mrs Chas D. Granger will leave on Wednesday for Newar'S N. J., where the former will assume
 the pastorate of the Central Presby terian church.

ST THOMAS FAIR.
Opened Up With a Good Attendance
 Saturday Night.

cdlufuay Nlgl[.
 The fair for the benefit of the church of St Thomas began Saturday evening in the city hall under condi- tions most promising. The attend ance was all that could have been ex- pected and in everything else the re- suit of the evenings work and fun was satisfactory. The stage program was enjoyed by all. Miss Katherine Lane appeared in delightful solos and Miss Jennie Heffrin's pleasing soprano voice was in it's sweetest tone, while Miss Bessie Pagan and Miss Margaret Delaney were better than ever. Miss Dodd in mandolin solos and selections on the guitar was most heartily re- ceived and William Quigley rendered several whistling solos that were greatly appreciated. A few pleasing duets were sung by Misses Annie and Nellie McNally. There was dancing also by way of variety in the enter tainment and the music for this fea- l ture was furnished by Lallier's orches- ira while rofessor Mellon prompted.
 The fair will be open every evening for the week and each evening there will be change of program. This evening the great minstrel perform ance by young ladies of the parish will l be one of the many attractions.

MIR RASMUSSEN AGAIN
Thinks His Antagonist Should Come
 From Ambush Into the Open.


 Waterbury, Jan 24, 1902. To the Editor of the Democrat:
 Dear Sir--Mr Veritas tor the man of truth is hereby informed that the writer treats his vituperating article, printed 1n the Democrat Jan 20 with the utmost contempt, and I consider it below any gentleman's honor to put up any kind of a defense against a foe in ambush, armed with the Jews gun, shooting around corners and smit- ing his adversary without even d chance to know the hiding place of his antagonist.
 It IS astonishing that Veritas so far lacks gentlemanly conduct and sound Judgment as to hide under an assumed name and put ill his oar in contro- yersy between two gentlemen carried on fair and square aboveboard, with proper signatures. The doctor squared himself on the question the Democrat taking exception), and thereby settled the matter, taking the sting out of my article, and certainly believe that the doctor neither needs nor desires a nurse in that matter, especially suci one as Veritas, for it would most as suredly prove fatal to the patient

 Let me state right here that I cour publicity in the matter injected int your article, and I shall do all in IT power to have the contents sifted t l the bottom, regardless of conse l quences. Now!

FISH FOR ALMSHoUSE.
Competitive Bids Were Opened at Sat
 urday's Meeting.

Competitive Bids Were Opened at sat-
 urday's Meeting.
 Thse board of charities held meet ing Saturday afternoon and opened bids for supplies of fish for the aims house as follows: A. E. Mallette, had dock, heads on, not dressed, $4.50 per 100 pounds; heads off, not dressed, 50; heads off and dressed, $6; hake, not dressed, $4.90; all dressed, $5.40; skins and heads off. SC; cod. not dressed, heads on, $5; heads off, not dressed, $6; all dressed, S65O. John Moore, haddocl, heads on, $5; cod, heads on, S5; heads off, $6; small hake, heads off, $4.5o; large hake, heads off, $5.50; heav ycod steak, $s.
 The contract was awarded to MT Mallette for undressed fish. The mayor thought 1t would be, no hard ship on some of the able bodied in- mates of the almshouse to dress the fish, and that so long as some money could be saved in this way the oppor- tunity should be improved. The mayor that kind should be weighed when re- ceived at the almshouse.
 Commissioner E. J. Finn was very much in favor of the mayors idea re- garding the undressed fish, but he hoped his honor would not insist in stripping them of the fins. This was too much for the board and for time all discarded their serious faces and put on bland smile instead.
 It was voted to fix the office hours at to 12 and 2 to 5 every day and 2 to $ Thursday and Friday evenings People should bear in mind that this means that the office will be open but two evenings in the week, Thursdays and Fridays. It seemed to be the opinion of the board that no relief should be given until after the case of the applicant has been Investigated

WEDDING WAS DELAYED.
Certificate Could Not Be Found When
 Party Reached the Church.


 Adam Sanurilis of Green street and Miss Barbara Zanavyczinte of West Porter street were married at 9 o'clock this morning by the Rev Fath- CT Saurusaitis. This marriage was arranged to occur at 7:30 or 8 o'clock, but owing to the loss of the marriage license 1t had to be postponed until , o'clock. 1t wsas not known that the license had been lost until the bridal party arrived at the church. Then the groom placed his hand in his pocket and it was not there. He searched every pocket, but no license could be found. It is needless to say that con- sternation prevailed. Gloom and sad ness was written on the countenances of the bride and groom. The former looked as if she was going to weep. The Rev Father Saurusaitis would not perform the marriage unless license was shown. It was a sad wedding party that left the church. They had the hack driver take them to their respective homes, but a thorough in spection of these premises revealed nc marriage license. One can better imagine than describe the feelings ot the groom and bride. One-half hour or more had now elapsed since the hour set for the marriage. After an other half-hour the bridal pair wa: driven to the office of Town Clerl Brett where duplicate of the los marriage license was secured. Joy and gladnesS were written on tht countenances of the groom and his to be-spouse when they came from th' cif- hall with fha rnarria oQ 1ipanSp iI a place where it would not be lost l The party then drove back to churcl and the nuptials were performed.
