The wedding ceremony of Frank E.
Gill and Miss Mary l.. Mallett last
week was witnessed only by the
immediate relatives of the contract
ing parties. In the evening recep-
tion was rendered the neighbors at the
home of the groom where a goodly
number enjoyed themselves very
pleasantly until the small hours
of the morning. Mr.. Gill is one OF
the most reliable young farmers OF
the township, owning and occupying
the homestead taken by his father in
1878: he came to this county with his
parents in 1879 and has always re-
sided here, and is highly esteemed by
all who know him for his neighborly
and sterling qualities. Miss Mallett
was born, educated and grew to
womanhood here and has been
successful teacher in the public
schools for a number of years. She
is endowed with that sweet and kindly
disposition and purely modest ways
which has endeared her to all who
are fortunate enough to know her.
We bespeak for Mr.. and Mrs. Gill
happy and prosperous journey
through life together.

The travelling frauds who period cal

The travelling frauds who periodical

about as much sympathy as the girl
who went through here about SIX
weeks ago, and seems to have included
Coeur d Alene, Idaho, in her itinerary.
The following is from the Coeurd Alene
Press: "The crippled girl who worked
the town Thursday for the purpose OF
securing funds to enable her to attend
business college run against the wrong
person in the Press office. George
Childers had listened to her tale OF woe
three years agoin Lewiston and lnqulr-
ed how long it would take her to secure
the necessary amount before attending
the college. She thought it would take
about three weeks and when Mr.. Child
ers informed her that she was work
inc the same graft in Lewiston three
wears ago, with the same old verse OF
poetry, she began to back out OF the
door saying that it was strange thai
another girl should be crippled lus'

not to be blamed for being taken IL
by the GIRL once, but if he bites the
second time it is his own fault. Iht

able monument to the soldiers

The marvellous industrial develop
ment of the United States during the
past decade contains no record that
can compare with the growth of our
great iron and steel industry. The
whole fascinating story of the evolu-
ton from very small beginnings of
the wonderful aggregat of coking
ovens, blast furnaces, and rolling
mills, which render the valley of the
Monongahela the very center of the
worlds iron and steel industries, has
never been told. In a special number
devoted to Iron and Steel exclusively,
the Scientific American presents an
authoritative account of how we have
out distanced all other countries in
the production of iron and steel.
How wonderful that development has
been, is shown by the mere fact
that in 1910 there were produced in
the United States but 53.9OS tons OF
pic iron, and that in 1902 the total
output of pig iron passed far beyond
that of our nearest competitor, Great
Britain. reaching the huge total OF
1881, ,3O7 tons. How this vast output
of pig iron is converted into armor
plate, gun steel, structural shapes,
tubes, rails, and steel and wire,
bes ides host of other things it Is
this special numbers purpose to tell

WAS ALMOST LYNCHEp-

Negro Who AasaU1tcd Ch:IA Was
 Saved by Quick wastcd Skort6.
 ALBANY. N. Y, July 15.-The quick wit of deputy sheriff at Coxsackie prevented the lynchiag of James Little, a nineteen-year-old negro hailing from snmmerhurst, N. J., who near New %.ltimore criminally assaulted Emma -ole, aged eleven years, daughter of Joseph Cole, a farlne1 living one mile back of New Baltimore The child, with her fve-year-old H.ster and Maud Lobdell, aged twelve, was picking Der ries by tho roadside in the long woods between New Baltimore and Coxsac- kie. mile from hosae. when Little ac- costed them, asking for something to eat.
 The Lobdell girl went to her home, but her mother was not there, and, re- turning to her corAoanions, she found the negro dragging Emma Cole into the woods. She ran to her aid, and the ne gro pulled out a handful of her hair She then ran away, with the little Cole girl screaming for help, while Little dragged his victim into the woods and assaulted her, then escaping after threatening her with death if she moved.
 Her father and neighbors/ met the child coming home and at once organ ized party to SCOUT the woods.
 A description of the negro was sent to nearby towns, and an hour later he was captured on the railroad track near Coxsackie by Roy Cutler. He confessed the assault and was locked up.
 In the meanwhile news of the cap ture reached New Baltimore, and a mob of 15O enraged farmers ztarted for Coxsackie, augmented by large num- Der of striking Coxsackie holders and river men, all frankly vowing their in tention to lynch the negro.
 It was the strikers benefit day. in Coxsackie, and the town was crowded Threats of lynching filled the air, and every train augmented the crowd.
 Deputy Sheriff vanloon. realizing that the coming of darkness would mean the breaking of the fiimsy local lookup and the violent death of his prisoner, smuggled the negro out and took him down the river on the boat to Catskill, where there is a we'll built jail.
 The Cole girl is seriously injured, but may recover. Her father and the neighboring farmers are in terrible state of excitement and but for the deputy's quick action would certainly have lynched the negro.

ACCIDENT IN YOSEMITE.

Mrs. Johns of New York Is Alone on
 the Mountains Fifteen HOurs. [ YOSEMITE VALLEY, Cal, July 15. Mrs. A. B. Johns of New York has met with a terrible accident in the mountains of the Yosemite near here.
 A relief party found Mrs. Johns po- sition to be critical in the extreme. Her escape from a frightful death had been nothing less than miraculous. She had fallen distance of 300 feet from the crevasse walls and had par tially broken her fall by catching at ju- niper bushes and scrub trees as she plunged through their branches.
 When the ropes had been lowered MT. Potter descended to examine the ground and to get Mrs. Johns from her perilous position. There, lodged upon two foot ledge, with her clothing torn to fragments and her flesh scratched and bruised lay Mrs. Johns, weak from exhaustion and lack of food and benumbed by the frosty night.
 With difficulty the rope was secured around Mrs Johns waist and an ef- fort made to help her to the rim above This attempt proved futile because or Mrs. Johns weight. By leaning over the abrupt precipice MT. Potter could discern another and larger ledge hun- dred feet below from which there was 8 sheer drop of hundreds of feet. He determined to try this plan of rescue.
 Giving the order to those above to lower the rope, MT. Potter swung the inanimate form of Mrs. Johns out from the tiny strip of rock upon which she had braced herself for fifteen hours. and by swinging the rope to and fro MT. Potter was able to lodge the body of Mrs. Johns on the larger ledge. He then descended himself. Calling to one of the mountain guides above. MT. Pot ter had him descend by the rope to the ledge upon which he and Mrs. Johns were resting Then the two picked up Mrs. Johns, and together they made their difficult way around dangerous lodges and over yawning precipices be- meath until, almost worn out, they finally reached the rim above once more.
 Mrs Johns is suffering much from nervous shock, but as no bones were fractured she will recove

DECISION WAS RESERVED.
Committee May Be Appointed and Evi

Committee May Be Appointed and Evi-
 dence Presented to Superior Court.
 The motion to dissolve the injunc- ton in the Lilley, Swift x, Go matter against the Valentine Bohl Go was ar gued yesterday before Judge Rorabach at his home in North Canaan. De- cision was reserved. The defendant argued that having leased the property alongside the spur track over which the trouble started, he had the right to use the track. The plaintiff allowed that defendant had the right to run cars over the spur, but had no right to obstruct or detain cars on it. This in effect was the gist of both claims.
 1t is now said that no matter which way it is decided a suit will be institut- ed so that the rights of both parties to the spur may be made fully known. A committee to hear the evidence Tn the matter will be asked for and the evidence will be presented to the su- perior court Tn this way the case will go to the supreme court.

Steps to Be Taken for Laying Out of
 Plaza Avenue.

Steps to Be Taken for Laying Out of
 Plaza Avenue.
 At the meeting of the board of pub- lie works, a communication was re- ceived from N. R. Bronson asking that steps be taken toward laying out Plaza avenue. It was voted to report to the aldermen that the board be authorized to report such a layout as Mir Bronson wants. It was voted to recommend to the aldermen that a storm water con duit be constructed from the corner of Clay and South Main streets along West Clay street to Benedict street, at an estimated expense of $1,4O0. The superintendent of streets was instruct ed to have certain sidewalks on North Main street put in proper condition foF public travel. Property owners on South Leonard street, from Sixth street southerly, will be heard on July 2s relative to the construction of seWe in that street.
 Property owners interested in the pro- posed change of the east-line of Dup lin street were called. The E. J. Man. vile Go reported through the clerk that they are in favor of the change, and M, Heffernan said he owns nothing there now. It was voted to report to the aldermen that the work be done. > H. l.. Peck was sheardrelative to laying a sidewalk on South street. He said he intends to build two houses there this year and thought it hardship to put down concrete at this time, know ing that it will be ripped to pieces dur ing the construction of the buildings He was of the opinion that the order had reference to curbing only. and this has been attended to, but the board didn't understand it that way. It was decided to look 1t up.
 The board adjourned for week.
