Republican and prominent Citizens
Union man Of Brooklyn, said yesterday:
Il have always opposed Coler politically
and always will, but l am standing by
him in the financial fight. His blunder
as president of the Guardian Trust Com
pany was simply in overestimating his own
Importance in the financial world and
his own popularity. He assured us that
he had friends who would take up the in
creased stock, but the friends didn't ma
terialize He did not do anything for which
he should be very severely reprimanded.
this suit has been instigat ed by Brown
and King They both asked for big salaries
for their work as vice-president and as
general counsel. They were Of no benefit
to the company whatever and We didn't
propose to pay them salaries for doing
nothing
.Coler asked Brown to resign. Brown
replied that he would force Coler to resign
and would ruin him politically. That's
how the whole row started. That was
about the same time that State Senator
George +. Green, another director. punched
Brown. And ne punched him good and
hard. Green! is friend Of Coler,
-When the company election came around
Brown and King were not reelected, but
We couldn't get rid of them on the board OF
directors 1t was not Brown or King who
finally forced Coler out Of the presidency
but friend Of Coler, who realized that the
company would be better of with another

a Serious Accident.

Last Saturday morning Mrs. Wm.
Earle met with very serious and
painful accident at her home south OF
this village, receiving broken limb,
besides several painful bruises. Mr..
Earle had harnesse1 the horse in the
barn, when he noticed that one wheel
to the barn door was off from the
track and called to Mrs. Earle to
steady the door while he replaced the
wheel. Mrs. Earle was standing di-
rectly in front of the door, when the
horse backed against it, with the re-
suit that the door fell to the ground
on top of Mrs. Earle. Both bones of
the lower leg were broken and several
bruises on the face and other parts of
the body sustained. Mr.. Earle sum-
moned neighbors to assist in making
Mrs. E Arle as comfortable as possible
and Dr. Rublee was summoned at
once. The doctor stated that the
break is one of the worst he ever saw,
and as Mrs. Earle is ~ years of age
the case is most serious one.

Ia the death of Mrs. Cooke Morris

husband and small family of chill
dren, she moved from there to this
country and year later to Morris
vile, where she has since made her
home. A short time after moving to
Morrisville she was left q widow with
several small children, whose only
means of support came from the earn
ings Of a devoted mother, and how
that duty was performed is known by
many, but best ty the children who
have grown to maturity and we're
preseD to render the last service to
a loving mother.
She was the mother of eight children

Police Court.

Geo. Wheeler and Herbert Gordon
were arrested last Friday for intoxi-
cation and on being arraigned before
Justice Waite plead guilty and were
fined each $5 90 and costs. Wheeler
paid his fine and Gordon after a few
hours confinement with Sheriff Rob-
bins, was released, his fine being raised
by parties who became interested in
him because of the illness OF his child.
On being interrogated byState's At
torney Bicknell as to where they got
their liquor Wheeler stated that he
boughtIt OF Hugh McGinnis and Cor
don that McGinnis gave it to him.
Papers were made out for McGinnis
for selling, and on Saturday he ap-
peared before Justice Waite, had a
trial and was found guilty. The re-
spondent asked that he be fined, and
the Justice being an obliging official,
fixed the fine at it's lowest point, $500.
McGinnis couldn't pay and is there
fore held for action by the county
court, which meets in June next. This
we believe is the third conviction In
the state for selling under the new
law. The medicine" is somewhat
severe, but it may have atendency to
