suggested that upon the death of any member an additional $50 should be allowed
his family for funeral expenses, and in case of the death of the wife of a
member that the husband shall be allowed $25. Other changes were also advised by
the committee and were debated upon at length.

Address P. O. Box ___, Marion, N. Y." Among the answers she received was one from Robert A. C. HAGGARD, a gentleman residing in Chicago. A correspondence ensued and after pictures were exchanged Mr. HAGGARD was invited to come to Marion. He immediately set out and Wednesday arrived in Marion and made a call on Mrs. KINGWORTH. Neither of the parties believed in long engagements and at once started for Palmyra. Then they called on Rev. J. R. HENDERSON of the Baptist Church and were soon made one. Mr. HAGGARD is a fine looking gentleman, neatly attired and is said to be quite well off. He is a native of Kerry, Ireland, but has resided in Chicago for some years.

YATES
Natural Gas Company Preparing to Operate at Penn Yan
An application was made to the Board of Trustees of Penn Yan at its last regular meeting by Charles PLACE, of New York; S. H. LYNN, of Rochester, and Johnathan CHAMPLIN, of Penn Yan, for permission to lay mains in the streets and alleys of the village for the transmission of natural gas from one point to another. After some discussion the application was put over to the special meeting, and at the special meeting action was still further postponed one week in order that the trustees might look the matter up and better understand it. If the board grants the franchise the company, which is well fixed financially, will drive a series of wells at different points on the outlet southeast of the village. Gas has been struck in considerable quantities at a number of points on the outlet in times past, but owing to the lack of money on the part of those interested in the wells, and for the reason that the rock is mostly of a shaley nature, allowing the gas to easily escape the wells were never drilled deep enough to secure a lasting supply, although there are a number of small wells which supply their owners’ with heat and light. There are numberless places in this valley where the gas bubbles up through the ground in considerable quantities, and the indications are first-class for the obtaining of a lasting supply and of sufficient volume for the supply of the village.
-The STEWART family will hold their annual reunion and picnic on the grounds of the Keuka College August 21st.

PIERSON, of Vineland, who represents the Department of Agriculture, recently made a visit to the Keuka grape region to investigate the subject of grape mildew and rot, in order to make an extended report thereon. He found after a most thorough investigation but very few indications of black rot, but some considerable evidence of the existence of brown rot or mildew, which has been very destructive in other parts of the country. It is not thought, however, by those acquainted with the influence as of climate and soil on grape culture, that it will ever cause any serious loss in this section, as great differences exist in both soil and climate from the districts which have been most affected.

SOLD MORTGAGED PROPERTY. Harris NEWMAN, of Pittsburg, will be tried in
Police Court this morning for a crime that has often been committed, but for
which convictions are comparatively few. About two years ago NEWMAN lived
in Rochester, conducting a small tailoring establishment on Helena street.
His patronage was not large and, becoming hard up, he gave a chattel mortgage on
his stock to E.J. CHAPMAN in order to get some ready money in his hands.
Not a great while after this transaction his place and stock were destroyed by
fire and later he removed to Pittsburg. A few days ago NEWMAN came to
Rochester, intending to leave again Thursday night. He was engaged in
bidding his friends good bye when he was arrested by Patrolman STETSON on the
charge of disposing of mortgaged property, for it is alleged that the goods on
which the money was loaned were not destroyed by the fire, but had been removed
and sold.

AN UNFORTUNATE
Michael Malone, Who Has Lost Both Hands, Sent to the Penitentiary
Michael Malone, a tall man with a black moustache and a handsomely shaped head, who claims to have come to this
city yesterday from Chicago, was arrested by Lieutenant SKUSE last night while intoxicated and begging on Main
street. MALONE lost both his hands in a foundry by falling on his hands into a ladle of molten iron. The accident
caused the amputation of both forearms at a little below the elbow. Since the loss of his arms MALONE has been
unable to work and has made his living by begging while tramping over the country. His misfortune has driven him
to drink and he was very drunk when arrested. The officer saw him on Main street shortly after dark last night,
reeling about and thrusting the stumps of his arms into the faces of pedestrians, at the same time asking for money.
Judge KEELER, when he heard the man's statement this morning, decided that the best he could do for him was to
send him to the penitentiary for thirty days. MALONE took his sentence like a man used to hearing such things.

WEIS, aged 14 years, living at 23 Field street. He is employed by Mr. BOLTON as elevator boy, and, in running the
car to the fourth floor, he accidentally caught his right foot between the bottom of the car floor and the casing
of the elevator well. His toes were badly smashed and some of the bones were splintered. Sergeant O'BRIEN and Officer
KLEISLEY in charge of the patrol wagon took the boy to St. Mary's Hospital.

SERIOUS CHARGES
Preferred Against the Superintendent of Keuka Park
Deputy Marshal BARDWELL arrested O. L. WHITNEY, superintendent of the Keuka lake Baptist Association yesterday
upon warrants issued by Commissioner GORHAM, charging him with taking from the post-office at Penn Yan a letter
addressed to Rev. C. E. BROCKWAY and taking therefrom $40, and the other accusing him of taking a letter addressed
to Rev. George H. BALL, president of the association, which contained a draft for $25. The second warrant also
charges Mr. WHITNEY with indorsing Rev. Mr. BALL's name on this draft and obtaining the money on it. The defendant
was arraigned before Commissioner GORHAM last evening, and the examination adjourned until to-morrow at 10 a.m.
Mr. WHITNEY gave bail in the sum of $500 upon each charge, two of the trustees of the association becoming his
bondsmen. The superintendent alleges his entire innocence of the charges made against him, and says that the money
in question was applied to the uses of the association.

THE FEELING IN PENN YAN
Penn Yan, Aug. 20, — Yesterday Superintendent O. C. WHITNEY of Keuka park was arrested by Deputy United States
Marshal BARDWELL upon a warrant issued by United States Commissioner GORHAM of Rochester. The arrest was made upon
charges of forgery made by Dr. G. H. BALL, president of the Central Association of the (????) Baptist Church. Reports
concerning the facts of the case are conflicting, but it is generally thought in this village that Mr. WHITNEY
can prove his innocence. WHITNEY was taken to Rochester last night. Friends accompanied him who are prepared to
furnish bail, and he is expected here again to-day.
