G., a resident of Melrose, N. Y. The father of this family died January 21, 1889, and the mother on July 9, 1873.
 B. N. Sipperley was born April Is, 1855, at the old homestead, where he resided until he reached the age of 26. His education was secured in the local schools, and he also gained thorough knowledge of agricultural work while assisting on the farm. At the age of 22 he began to follow the business of carpenter. and at times he engaged successfully in other lines of work as opportunity came, no apprenticeship
 being necessary, apparently. In March,
 1855, he removed to the town of Vest
 port, Conn.,, where he purchased the old Kelly mills and engaged in a gen. eral milling business. At the time MT Sipperley took the business the manu- factured products were chiefly flour (for human consumption and feed. A few years later he developed a new department, which converted thou sands of bushels of rye, each year, into paste by the LounSbury & BisSell Co.,
 for the Union Metallic Cartridge Go. of Bridgeport. The rye flour thus is converted into ammunition, and it's manufacture is an important part of the milling business. His present ex- tensive plant is fitted up with both water and steam power. Two or three years ago he abandoned the mill busi- ness and now devotes his entire time to the drilling of artesian wells. He also deals in. farm implements, vehi- cles, we'll supplies and similar goods. He is one of the pioneers in the drill ing of artesian wells, and he has drilled wells all over the county. The sale and erection of pumps, windmi1ls and his business. On October 5, 1881, MT Sipperley married Miss Adelaide Nash, daughter of Edward H. Nash, Six children have blessed the union-El- bert Nash, Irving H., Christabel Onona, Everett Leslie, Leona Adelaide and Elliott Hawthorne. Ebert, his eldest son, has a position as engineer and machinist with the New England Food Go. at Norwalk. Miss Christabel, now taking her degrees in the Grange. expects to enter Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N. r., another year. Irving is studying to be an electrical engineer at Browns Electrical School, Wash lngton, D. C., while Everett, Adelaide and Master Elliott are attending the village schools in Westport. As the Aouliy dAu uuelI guest Sat at OreakIaSG on the morning of our visit, Master Elliott suddenly appeared in the door way with wild war-whQop and dressed to resemble an Indian. His mother, seated with her back toward him. was somewhat startled, while the neWSpa- per man was scared out of a years growth. All heartily enjoyed the in- cldent, as did Master Elliott, who likes fun, as healthy boy should. MT Sip perley has the agency for the Stevens Duryea automobiles a noiseless running machine and one of the best hiil clim bers made. MT Sipperley says he never saw hill the machine would not climb. For speed it is one of the best: MT Sipperley being a practical machiniSt is

GAIN IN BUILDING INDUSTRY.
Twenty three Cite. Show Notable In
crease During June.

Building in twcnty-thrce of the
principal cities of the country for June
commands attention because of the
notable increase as compared with the
corresponding month 4 year ago. Dur
ing the month just closed. according to
official reports to Construction News,
permits were taken out in twenty
three of the principal cities of the
country for the construction of S,O21
buildings involving a total cost of
$27 .63D,n4S against 6,412 buildings, ag-
gregating $685. 26 i'm cost during the
same month year ago, an increase of
/ ,G0J buildings and S11,Oii,S22 in cost,
or AZ per cent.
There are two good reasons for the
increase in activity. The most i'm
pOrtant is probably the entire absence
of labor troubles in the building trades
on May !. The increase in New York,
bOrOughs of Manhattan and The Bronx
was A per cent; brooklyn, al per cent.
In SO far as it is possible to read the
future. everything seems propitious Tor
a continuous period of activity in all
sections of the country. Producers.
manufacturers, material dealers ana
contractors state there is marked III
crease i'm inquiry. and interest, as well
as improvement in demand from all
sections.

The boat was built by the Roach

was brought to Chester on June for

1t Is not likely that the strikers will
interfere with the small slaughterers
throughout the country inasmuch as
the more work they do, the more they
will injure the business of the big pack
ers upon whom alone the strikers have
made demands.
A number of the local unions involved
in the strike had meetings, this after
noon. at which the labor leaders in
structed the men and girls to go quiet
ly to their homes and remain there.
President Donnelly of the Anlalgaln-
ated Meat Cutters and Butchers
Union and the presidents of So surbor-
dinate organizations here assembled
at their headquarters during the day
thinking they might receive notice
of surrender from the packers. No word
came. The packers declared that they
had replied decisively to the strikers
demand and had nothing more to say
on the subject, except to emphasize
refusal to pay the wage scale asked.

record was bad, but he asserted that
he was innocent of the charge.

fled Stoddard as having been seen in
