Celebrated 25th Wedding Annive.sar


1t was pleasant surprise which
the daughter, Miss 'Clemma. and the
son. Amory D.. planned and carried
out for their parents. Mr.. and Mrs.
H. I. Seaver Thursday, Jan. 9th, the
occasion being the 25th anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. Sewers marriage.
The invited guests were all near rela-
tives, II in number as fellows: Mrs.
Seaver, Mr.. and Mrs. p. w. Dawson,
Mrs. G. L. Cowles and little daughter
Elma and Mr.. and Mrs H. A. Scott.
Twenty-Five carnations ornamented the
table to which the guests sat down
for the wedding feast, and over the
table hung large crimson bell fes-
tooned with delicate green's. The ia
vors were originally designed, appro.
priately inscribed, and presenting a
blank page on which each guest wrote
his or her autograph. The wedding
cake was a pyramid with the dates
1885-1910 on either side and was sur
rounded by twenty-five crimson can
dies which were lighted as the cake
was brought on and placed before
the hostess for serving. After the
dinner the time was spent in social
intercourse and E. T. Seaver in be-
half of the friends, presented a doZ
en- beautiful pearl handled silver
knives, cut glass silver mounted pep
per and salt shakes, and a sugar bowl
and creamer of fine china. The re-
sponse from Mr.. and Mrs. Seaver and
congratulations from the company
were ofXthe most informal kind but
were truly from the heart. A little
poem, written for the occasion. and
read by one of the company was as
follows.
Wedding bells rang out the call
Across the snow,
And friend and kin came gaily in
Five and twenty years ago.
Five and twenty harvest years
Of Life's worth while,."
The loving deed, the helping hand
The tender thought, the sunny smile.
Children came, a girl and boy,
While hearts grew young
AS childhood's davs were lived again
As sobs were hushed or songs were
sung.
Chaste sorrow erstwhile. too hath
sat
The hearth beside
Unbldden guest, yet proves the hest
Of deathless love, when ills betide.
So on and on the steam of life,
Now dark, now clear,
Bears our frail barks on steadier keel
AS milestones pass and disappear.
Silvery ring the bells today,
An echo sweet
Of that dear time in Craftsbury town
When Parson Blake performed the
feat.
Of joining two life strands together
Firm and strong,
And who among the guests today
Will dare to say that he did wrong?
And now, dear friends, just one
thought more
Ere we depart,
May children's children meet again
When golden chimes awake the heart.
1885-Jan. 27, 1910.
| Thus was marked another milestone
in the lives of the friends for whom
this little gathering was planned, anc
with thankfulness for the past, JOY
in the present, and trust for the fu
| ture the party separated, echoing this
wish.
"God Gf thy will be so.)
Enrich the time to come with smooth
/ faced peace,
With smiling plenty, and fair, pros
porous days"

MILLIONAIRE OIL Man
IN HANDS Of RECEIVER
Col. James M. Guffey, National
Democratic Committeeman,
Can't Meet Obligation

PITTSBURG, July 15.-Col. James M.
Guffey, national Democratic commit
teeman for Pennsylvania and a multi
millionaire oil m;.n, who figured prom
inently as an object Of attack by the
Bryan adherents at the Democratic
convention in Denver, has gone into
the hands of a receiver. appointed by
Judge Joseph M Swearingen in the
common pleas court of this county.
The action was taken upon bill in
equity filed by J. P. Galley. John S.
Willard was named as receiver.
The bill alleges that Colonel Guffey's
indebtedness is about $6700,000, Of
which about $950,000 is unsecured; that
the defendant has no ready money to
meet the payments due and that cer-
tain creditors are threatening to sell
his collateral and enter suit.
It is further asserted that Colonel
Guffey has assets of more than 17,000,-
900, a large part of which is stock of
the J. M. Guffey company and the
West Virginia company, two coal COM
panies that own 136,7OO acres of colSing
coal in West Virginia These proper
ties are asserted to be worth at least
SIS, ,O0O 900 and the bill in equity main
tains that they are estimated to con-
tatin 1000, 100000 tons of coal, which at
a profit of cent ton would realize
100000 900. other assets Of Colonel Cuff
fey to the value of two or three million
dollars consist of stocks and bonds of
other corporations.
All of these stocks and bonds are
pledged as collateral and the receiver
ship was found necessary to prevent a
sacrifice of this collateral.
Colonel Guffey told the Associated
Press tonight that the proceeding has
no connection with the ]. M. Guffey
Petroleum company, with which,, he
said, he has no longer any relation.

AQUEDUCT RESCUE
PLETE; LARGE
SUM IS IN SIGHT
Additional Million and Half In
SureS Work on Project at
Maximum Speed
TOTAL RESOURCES S3,22O,ooo
Syndicate Valves Option and
Provides Purchasers of Bonds
While Council Is Silent

Information from reliable sources
obtained by The Herald last night is to
the effect that 81 100000 more is in sight
for the aqueduct. This sum, added to
that raised through the efforts of the
advisory committee, will make avail
able during the next eight months the
grand total of $3,220,000. This sum will
permit the building of the aqueduct
practically at the maximum rate of
speed.
No member of the finance committee
of the council or the advisory commit
tee would admit last night that the city
would accept the proposal made by the
bond syndicate yesterday. Tho syndi-
cate waived its option and consented to
the purchase of $1,000,000 of aqueduct
bonds by two New York insurance com
panies, also agreeing to take $50OOOO
worth of bonds itself. Three secret ses-
sions of the council followed, and at
the conclusion of the last one two tele-
grams were sent east. 1t is believed
that the syndicate was asked to put It's
proposal in legal form, and that the
CITY will accept when 1t has done so.
It is supposed that all local pledges
and subscriptions will be paid over re-
gardless of the action of the bond syn
dicate, and that there will be an early
resumption of activity all along the
auueduct on an extensive scale.
The principal conference yesterday
afternoon lasted until close to Z o'clock,
when the ones in conference declined to
give any intimation of what went on at
the meeting. Two kilograms were dis
matched by the mayors secretary i'm
mediately after the meeting, requesting
the bond syndicate to put its offer in
legal form, with a view of acceptance
by the city. 1t is said that the cash
will be available within very short
time.
The syndicates offer is bona f1de, and
embodies a waiver of its rights to the
option on the aqueduct bonds in order
to permit the city to sell $5OO,OOO or
bonds to the New York Life Insurance
company and a like amount to the Met
ropolitan Life Insurance company.
While knowledge of the offer came
to the ones forming the first secret ses-
sion of councilmen and aqueduct ad-
vIsers Yesterday, there was no alacrity
displayed to accept. Two more confer
ences were necessary to agree upon
welcoming the proposal Of the syndi-
cate.
It is understood that this offer was
brought about through the negotiations
OF Attorney w. B. Mathews OF the
aoueduct board, and came as surprise
to the finance and special advisory
committees.
THE council instructed the city at
torney yesterday to prepare the neces-
sarv ordinances and resolutions to sell
S1O0 O0O of auueduct bonds to the Mer-
chants Bank and Trust company. These
honds can be disposed of at once, as
thew are now in the sinking fund and
not subject to the provisions of the op-
tion contract of the New York bond
syndicate.
