"Is i t a fact a s a w is used o n o n e of

the department bui ld ings in O o u v e r neur to g i v e a n alarm of firef" is the query Irequent ly asked by strangers, h o w e v e r m u c h , it may chagr in a resi* dent of this o therwise progressive town, muBt.be, if truthful ly , answered in tho affirmative. ,

F i f ty or o n e hundred years ago , a saw m i g h t have filled the bill but in th i s a g e of e u l i g h l e n m e n t and progress for a v i l lage wi th the enterprise and wea l th that O o u v e r n e u r has such an idea seems too absurd to be a reality. At the late charter e lect ion, a proposi tion carry ing wi th it an appropriation of $12,000 prov id ing for a hose house as wel l as a modern and up to date electric Are a larm sys tem w a s sub milted to a vote of the taxpayers and that proposit ion was beatenl>ya paltry 3«i votes . T h e result of that vote proves beyound peradventure that the people of O o u v e r n e u r are a l i v e to the needs of the v i l l age and are real ly in favor of an elevtric alarm sys tem.

In conversat ion w i t h several repre 'sentatiVe cit izens of this t o w n , a F R E E pRKfifl representative was told that wh i l e they favor a proposition s imi lar to the o n e submitted, they voted against it for the reasons that n o plans of specifications ware submitted of the kind of a s y s t e m that w a s desired or a n y idea g i v e n as to the locat ion of site of the hose house./ Then there was a bitter strife on o v e r the president of the v i l l age w h i c h detracted in no smal l degree the interest thai would o therwise h a v e been taken in the Ore a larm quest ion.

I t would seem as if s o m e kind of a resolution differing from tho former could be framed 89 as to c o m e with in the provis ions of the law. and be sub­mitted to a vote of the taxpayers wi th in the n e x t m o n t h or s ix weeks * T h e firemen's a n n u a l c o n v e n t i o n is

soon to be held in this v i l lage and pro bably from %W to 300 firemen from various t o w n s in Northern N e w York wil l be present.

T o h a v e the o ld saw In operation at that t ime wil l certa inly not redound to the credit of the t o w n nor g i v e the out of t o w n Ore laddies a very c lever idea of Oouyevneur ' s facilities for l ight ing fires. •• -v, A

A sys tem that takes a quarter of an hour to g i v e an a larm after the dis c o v e r y d f a fire should c o n v i n c e the m o s t stubborn persons that an improve m e n t should at once be adopted.

A t the t ime of the fire in W i l l Hal l 's residence, had there been an up to date fire protection sys tem here instead of suffering a loss of $600 to $1,000, his h o m e would not have been damaged to the a m o u n t of $5t). The t ime to sup press a fire is iu its inc ipiency and that can Only be d o n e where the alarm is quickly g i y e u .

Pres ident J o h n s o n , the board of trustee* and, F ire Chief A l e x i s 8 . W h i t n e y are a l ive to the needs of the hour and it is fair to presume that they wil l not let this matter s leep in the graveyard of buried hopes but will resurrect it as soon as they l ega l ly c^n.

It is understood that an effort is n o w be ing made to frame a resolution which wi l l meet with the approval 'o f a great majority ot the cit izens w h o h a v e the Interest and future welfare of their t o w n at luart .

In the city 0 / O s w e g o dur ing the past three m o n t h s there were between 30 and 40 fires w i t h a total Jossi of about $4,000 and this is attributed to the exce l l en t facil it ies that c i ty has for fighting fires.

Oouverneur ians are awalte to their necessities and wJ&M the proposit ion for the instal lat ion of a fire a larm sys tem is ajrain submitted, it is a pretty safe prediction that i t wil l be carried by an o v e r w h e l m i n g majori ty .

Considerable mys tery surrounds the disappearence of Jacob Schwardfagar, w h o it w a s bel ieved was drowned Saturday, wh i l e d r i v i n g logs for Al­drich, Dean & Aldrich at Carney's Fa l l s about four miles below Natural Dam. .\

During the big freshet last wiutrr Aldrich, Dean & Aldrich and the Al­drich Paper c o m p a n y lost a large number of logs and pulp wood by be i n g taken d o w n the stream. Sub»d quent ly t h e v aold th is tim ber to Otis Brooks of H e u v e l t o n and Saturday three men , Eng land , O C I a i r and Schwardfager. were sent to start the d r i v e to H e u v e l t o n . They had a smal l skiff wi th them* W h e n they reached the Carney rapids, E n g l a n d w h o was the foreman of the m e n proposed that they carry the boat around them. Schwardfagar objected and insisted on taking the boat through the rapids and finally he w a s g i v e n permission to do so. That was the last seen of h im u p to the present t ime. After E n g l a n d and O'CJair had reached the foot Of the rapids E n g l a n d discovered the boat c o m i n g d o w n the rapids over turned. H e at once cal led O'Clair's attention to it and said that he bel ieved Schwardfager had been drowned. They at o n c e made a search and both concluded that his body w a s some­where in the river. A n alarm w a s at once g i v e n and a search began, l l c o n t i n u e d the remainder of Saturday dud all day S u n d a y w h e n 75 people participated in it. The rapids are be­tween 30a and SUQfeet in l e n g t h and have a fall from 10 to VI feet in that distance, j T h e y were thoroughly dragged but Schwajrdfager's bgdy |was not found,. 1

. There Were rumors aboui town y e s terday, that Schwardfager had fooled the people and that he was still safe in the land of the Jiving aud that he had never made tho at tempt to rjun the rapids. N o o n e saw h im in tue boat. A short distance from the b e g i n n i n g of the rapids there is a curve in the Oswegatchie so that w h e n a person

fager has had a desire to serve in the regular a r m y but has been opposed in his wishes by h i s relatives. It is be l ived that t h e idea c a m e to h im w h i l e E n g l a n d and O'Clair were endeavor­i n g lo persuade h i m not to run the danger in d o i n g so, to make his Might and join the regular army at Sackelt 's Harbor. The thought no sooner came to h im than he put it in to act ion by ins is t ing upon r u n n i n g the rapids.

Then wai t ing unti l E n g l a n d a n d O'Clair were Out of h is s ight , he pul­led his boat across the stream and seiz­ing his coat w h i c h was under the seat with England's in the bow of the boat, he pushed it back into the stream and dash ing up the e m b a n k m e n t pur­sued his flight to his cherished dreams of service j n U n c l e Sam's regular army, A n o t h e r fact w h i c h lends credence to the rumor that Schward-fegar is still a l ive is the fact that his coat was g o n e from the bow of the boat whi le Kngland's remained.*

His relatiyes are of the op iu ion that he has gtme to j tin the army at Sack-ett'* Harbor or some other recruit ing station. H e is a y o u n g m a n be tween ¥(> and 25 years of age and h a s a robust and athlet ic figure and wil l probably meet with but l i tt le difficulty in pas *iug a physical examinat ion .

Notwi ths tanding i the rumors that Schwardfager was not drowned but had g o n e to jo in the United States regulars at Sacketts Harbor or s o m e other recruit ing point, the search was cont inued afl day yesterday but with­out avai l . .

Three m o n t h s ago . U n i o n Hal l w a s closed to the publ ic and d u r i n g that t ime it has u n d e r g o n e m a n y marked improvements . These repairs are n o w completed and the hal l wi l l be re-opened tp the public Saturday e v e n i n g . Tlje people of Oouverneur will, find it A S beautiful , pretty and up to date pjay house as there is in a n y t o w n in Northern N e w / Y o r k . T h e improvements have been under the watchful e y e of Prof. W . F . Sudds and in g i v i n g to Oouverneur ians a modernized Opera house he s h o w s that he has the welfare of the theatre g o i n g public at heart.

A large expense has been incurred in the m a n y improvements vis ible at e v e r y turn of the eye . A magnif icent apd h a n d s o m e metal ce i l ing takes the place- of the d i n g y and dilapidated plaster one . T w o hundred and fifty up to date n e w opera chairs fill the orchestra circle a n d the row in the parquet circle the remainder of the chairs being those that formerly served the purpose of reserved seats in the old Union Hal l ,

A n incl ined floor has been con­structed so that there is not an undo sirable seat in the house. T h e aisles are crashed. A n e w scene portraying the memorable fight in w h i c h D e w e y a fleet smashed Montcmjo's in Manila harbor rhas been addea to the scenery and wa$ painted by J . R. McNair of the N e w York Clipper. Surrounding t h e p a i t t t i n g a r e a number of advert ise ments of local firms.

The stage has been so arranged as to obscure the foot l ights from View, the reflection from them beinp g i v e n to the stage instead of the audience which is a great improvement .

A n expens ive oak ra i l ing separates the orchestra from the audience and a larjje and beautiful W e g m a n piano which has bejen s u n k into the floor so

( as to m a k e it s tand even with the»stage has been added to the orchestra outfit. E legant s tat ionery racks h a v e been secured for the music ,

. A n o t h e r v e r y great improvement and o n e w h i c h wilXba very noticeable is the arrangement perfected for con trol l ing the electric l ights on the stage B y means of a d immer a n y power of l ight desired c a n be had.

The U n i o n Hal l m a n a g e m e n t is to be congratulated upon the splendid re­sults of their labors and Oouverneur people wi l l not be klow to appreciate their efforts. T h e y h a y e been to a large expepse in repairing the hal l but they h a v e the satisfaci ion of k n o w i n g that t h e y have accompl i shed some­t h i n g for Oouverneur Uiat the t o w n badly needed and that was a modern ized and up to date p layhouse .

. . THE LETTER CAME BACK.

It was Sent ta»JFrederlck C. Irving When on IIU Forafgn Trip bat did not Find Him.—Koturjuad to Uoovtrntor ona Year and Savon Mentha Latar, j

On August 31, 11KXJ, a letter'was mailed at the> postoflice in this village addressed lo Frederick C. Irving, London, England. When the letter reached London, Mr. Irving had gone to^filan and so it was forwarded to hilii at that place. When it arrived there* Mr. Irving had proceeded to Florence. Italy, and so the letter chased him on, arriving, however, too late to catch its owuer. Again it waa sent back to London and again was returned to Florence but in all its etforts after traveling thousands of miles in a vain attempt to find' ita owner, the unfruitful search, was

iven up and as the letter was enclosed n a St. Lawrence Inn envelope it was

returned to Oouverneur reaching here on the evening of April 3 after an absence of one year and seven months. It was covered with various foreign postmarks so that the address 04 the envelope was nearly obliterated. ;

The return, of the letter certainly speaks well for the mailing system of both the United 8tetoe and the foreign countries through which ittrayeWd.

There came near being a fatal seciL

dent at Hailesboro yesterday morning and it may result- ao yeL William Day is the proprietor ol the cheese factory at that village. Oeorge Dilla--baugh is a patron. While unloading his milk at the factory yesterday the windlees by which the milk is hauled up into the vat to be weighed broke allowing the can to fall back upon the wagon. fa-Striking it cut the wagon in two. 1%is frightened the horses and ther started on a mad run. • It seems that Mildred Day, Mr. Day's little five year old daughter, waa play­ing about the factorv. Just how the accident happened is not known but undoubtedly the horses in their night knocked her down. Mr. Day had for gotten about his daughter and half an hour after the accident had happened his hired man found the'little girl lying unconscious on the ground with a gash extending from the nose to the upper lip apd another of an inch in length over the left eye. Dr. W. J Flint,*of this village, was summoned and dressed the wounds. . It is feared that she may have suffered internal injuries.

The horses wens captured after a run of a quarter of a mile or more.

The greatest good can be accom­plished for all or the highwavs of the county in the shortest period of time by giving up the old method of work-ing the highway tax by labor, and permitting the highway tax to be paid in. money. At the session of the legis­lature just closed, Assemblyman Ch as. S. Plank, of this district sqooeeded in v.. gettinga bill through and signed by the ''"-• governor amending the Fuller law b y V ' < increasing the amount of state aid , from 25 to 60 per oent for all tpwaa^ ^ adopting the money system of high* way tax. It was one of the beat meaa* ures passed at the kte session. ^

In the state of New York near|y the entire mileage of the, state highways'- j are cared for by a tax of 2,000.000 days' labor assessed against the resi­dents and property owners adjoining these highwaya. Each town has a ,_ highway commissioner, and each mile of road an overseer of the highways, '•-' so that there is a different character of road-making for each mile of -high- • ; way throughout the entire state. The ~ 4 enactment of the Statute would call ' for the 2,000,000 days' Uborto be com-muted into a cash tax of at least $1,- ^ 000,000, providing all towns adopted

j the money system, and to compensate the towns for giving up this ancient

j method of paying a tax in labor, the 1 state wili contribute under Jfi? YW I amendment 50 per cent, of the amount of cash raised in each town for high­way improvement up to one-tenth of

• one per cenL of the assessed Valuation {in a town. This will call on tBe state

for approximately $500,000 each year 1 to be uividtd among the towns and / : will not exceed in any one year $750,-000. The result will be that in place

t of 1,000 highway commissioners hav­ing charge of 50,000 overseers of the highways, there will be 1,000 high-* way commissioners having the direc-lion of the expenditure of $1,600,000 in cash. The SL Lawrenoe county" towns should begin at ones to take
