PHELPS LOSES OLD RESIDENT
Death Of Colonel Isaac C. Stevens
Cast His First Vote in 1828
Had Passed His 97th Birthday and Lived in Phelps Over Three
Quarters of a Century - Voted for Roosevelt Last Fall.
Phelps, March 12 - Colonel Isaac C. STEVENS, the oldest resident of the town of Phelps, died Saturday at his home on East Main street, after a brief illness due his advanced years. Mr. STEVENS had passed his 97th birthday, having been born at Scipo, Cayuga county, October 21, 1807. When 10 years of age he moved to Phelps and with the exception of one year spent in the town of Galen and three years in Orleans county, he lived here continuously.
In his younger days Mr. STEVENS was a Colonel of a New York state militia regiment from whence he gained his title. His chief occupation was farming, but in 1866 he retired and has not been engaged in any active business since, with the exception of having a small interest in a Phelps shoe store for a couple of years.
Colonel STEVENS was twice married, his first wife being Miss Elizabeth RINGER, of the town of Seneca, to whom he was married February 13, 1834. From this union, four children were born, two of whom are now living, a daughter, Mrs. J. E. SHUMWAY of Albion, Mich., and a son, Jacob R. STEVENS, who has been living in Phelps for the past few months caring for his father. The Colonel's first wife died in 1865 and the following year he married Mrs. Fanny FRAZIER, who died February 14, 1895.
Up to a few months ago, Mr. STEVENS was a familiar figure around town and took an active interest in the general topics of the day. An injury to his leg which he suffered about that time confined him to the house for some time and he gradually declined. In politics he was a Republican, having cast his first ballot with the Whig party for
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS in 1828 and since that year he had never failed to vote at a presidential election. Last fall when he cast his vote for
President ROOSEVELT it was his twentieth consecutive presidential ballot. At the time of his death Colonel STEVENS was a communicant of the First Presbyterian Church of Phelps.

INCENDIARY MAY HAVE CAUSED FIRE
Two Horses and Two Pigs Burned With Barn at Avon
Avon, March 12 - What appears to have been an incendiary fire occurred shortly after midnight this morning, when a barn located on lower Rochester street, the property of a man by the name of GRETZIANO, who is now serving a sentence in the Monroe County Penitentiary for stealing a wagonload of potatoes, was completely destroyed by fire. The flames were first seen by employees of the Erie Railroad shops, who blew the locomotive whistles until the fire bell and whistle were sounded. When the fire companies finally reached the scene the flames were beginning to die down and the structure was falling in. A few tons of water were poured on the ruins and then Chief FOLLETT ordered the men back to their quarters.
Two horses and two pigs, some farming implements and several tons of hay were burned. The loss will be between $600 and $700, insured. There is but one theory advanced as to the origin, and that is that it was incendiary. No person had been in the barn, to anyone's knowledge, for several hours. The flames had attacked the entire structure when discovered. Charles WESTFALL and Thomas EGAN, awakened by the light, were at the barn before the whistles sounded, but were unable to get into the building to liberate the horses, owing to the awful heat.

THE MACCABEES PLAN TO BUILD
Newark Tent Wants A Home Of Its Own
Membership Increasing
Proposition to Organize a Stock Co. and Erect a Three Story Building.
Large Auditorium on First Floor. Bowling Alley in the Basement.
Newark, March 12 - Newark Lodge, K.O.T.M., under the personal direction of the district deputy, has been making a very strong effort to increase its membership in this vicinity and it receiving members in large numbers at each meeting. The plan to increase the membership is principally for the purpose of forming a stock company in the organization for the purpose of erecting a modern three-story building, as much of the stock as possible to be taken by the members of the order. The Newark Tent now has about $1,000 which will be turned to this end, and there is about $3,000 worth of stock practically subscribed for.
The specifications call for a three-story brick building 60x30 feet, with an additional structure 60 feet long and a story and a half high, with a basement under the entire building, extending about five feet above the ground level. The building will be fitted in the basement with a bowling alley, billiard room, gymnasium, bath and necessary apparatus for heating.
The first floor will be devoted to a large auditorium suitable for a military company, as now planned, with a floor space of 2,400 square feet, or a seating capacity of 800 people. The second floor will be devoted to apartments, cloak rooms, waiting and reception rooms. The third floor will be utilized for a lodge room, dining Y. M. C. A. building in Rochester.
It has been published that this movement is taken up because of the refusal of the village of Newark to accept propositions from Henry C. REW, the founder of the Newark Library, for a building devoted to the interests of Newark young people, which Mr. REW would present to the village, costing approximately $10,000, and to be erected on the Blackmar lot. Mr. REW's propositions have not been refused by authorities in Newark, but are still under consideration as to just what kind of a building will be best suited to the affair on lines similar to that of the room and kitchen. It is the idea to conduct the needs of the village.

NEWARK ODD FELLOWS WILL BUILD TEMPLE
Plans Drawn for Structure Which Will Cost $10,000. Fine Banquet Hall
Newark, March 12 - About one year ago there was organized in Newark Lodge, I. O. O. F., a stock company, incorporated under the laws of the state of New York under the style of the Temple Building Company. The company immediately purchased a lot 46x86 on the corner of Union street and East avenue, the consideration being $2,500, which amount was paid in full. This spring the company will erect a building covering the entire lot, at a cost of about $10,000. The secretary has advertised for bids to be received until noon, March 2th, and the contract will be let within the next thirty days. The construction will be commenced as soon thereafter as the ground will permit, and rapidly pushed to completion. The stock is sold only to members of the Odd Fellows, and it is understood that nearly the full amount has been taken.
The plans and specifications have been prepared by J. Mills PLATT, of Rochester. The first floor will contain three stores, two facing on Union street and one on East avenue. The second floor is arranged for three flats of seven rooms each, and the third floor will contain the large lodge room, the finest banquet hall in Newark, and an encampment room elaborately fitted up. The building will be constructed of brick and made fireproof throughout.
