A
Republican Rally.
The republicans had a grand rally in the Cortland Opera House last
Tuesday evening. The house was full and more too. Taylor Opera House was opened
and quite a good sized audience filed in and took seats. Col. Fred Grant, the
republican candidate for Secretary of State made a speech at the first meeting.
He said that wherever he had been he had called out large audiences and that he
considered the election this fall as very important to the republicans for the reason
that the Presidential election occurred next year and then subsided.
Senator
Frye, of Maine, was then introduced and made a very radical address which seemed
to please the republican portion of the audience. Mr. Frye abused President
Cleveland roundly, which of course tickled the republican politicians present.
His speech was mainly a discussion of the tariff and it must have been very
apparent to all that he is in favor of an extremely high tariff.
There
were a large number of Democrats present who came out of curiosity to see and hear
the son of his father and his handsome wife.
After
Grant had delivered his speech at the Cortland Opera House, he was hustled out
of the building and taken to Taylor Opera House where he was called out. He explained
that he was very much embarrassed after delivering the speech of the evening at
the first meeting and then he took a seat on the platform and managed to hold the
audience for a half hour or more while Frank Pierce, of Homer told what he knew
about Democrats.
The
republicans were very much disappointed with their candidate for Secretary of
State and they were very free in expressing themselves to that effect. While
they have great respect for the memory of General Grant they have little faith
in the ability of his son.
Death of Charles H. Parker.
Charles
H. Parker, an esteemed citizen of this place died suddenly last Sunday morning
of heart disease. Mr. Parker had been a resident of this village for many years
and was one of the best known and most highly respectable citizens of this
place. He had been in his usual health until sometime last week when he was
taken ill. He was so much better however on Saturday that his friends were
notified that he was out of danger. He arose on Sunday morning and ate his
breakfast and apparently was feeling quite well but a few moments after he
settled back in his chair dead. The funeral was held from the residence of B.
E. Miller on Tuesday and the remains were taken to Hamilton by special train on
the same day. Mr. Parker was 70 years of age.
Dr. Wood Home Again.
Dr. Mina
F. Wood has recovered from her illness and has returned from New York, where for the past six weeks she has been
attending lectures and making a particular study of microscopy and doing other special
work. She reopened her office in the Standard building last week, where she may
he found until 9 o'clock in the morning and from 1 to 5 o'clock in the
afternoon and from 7 to 9 o'clock
in the evening.
A Big Sale.
Last
week Mr. H. S. Hudson, Superintendent of the Hitchcock Manufacturing Company went to New York and closed a contract
with parties there for fifteen hundred cutters. This is said to be by far the largest
sale of cutters ever made to one party. A few such transactions would soon close
out the entire year’s manufacture of the Hitchcock Company.
A Large Verdict.
The
case of Mary Mulvihill against J. Lawrence Brink, which was on trial when we
went to press last week, was concluded on Friday, the jury rendering a verdict
of $9,000 for the plaintiff. The plaintiff, who was a sister of the defendant’s
deceased wife, claimed that she was seduced by defendant under promise of marriage
while in his employ. Defendant denied the charge.
The case
had been carefully prepared on the part of the plaintiff, by Messrs. J. &
T. E Courtney of this place, and by Mr. W. J. Mantanye of Marathon, for the
defense. A large number of witnesses from Marathon, were sworn and the case was
stubbornly fought on both sides. G. A. Forbes summed up for the plaintiff, and
A. P. Smith for defendant. It was an important case and the verdict was a
larger one than is usually rendered in case of a like nature.
HERE AND THERE.
Dr
Hoag has removed his office to rooms over the National Bank.
The
firm of Dowd & McSweeney, grocers, has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr.
Dowd will continue the business.
People
of Homer are talking of forming a stock company to purchase the Newton Woolen Mills in that place, with a view of pushing
the business.
A
large audience assembled in the Cortland Opera House, last Monday evening, to see
'"The Little Tycoon.'' The entertainment was first-class in every respect.
A
fire was found smoldering in some shavings in Hitchcock's wood working building
on Elm street, Thursday morning. An alarm was sounded and the department turned
out. The flames were extinguished before much damage was done.
The
Dalys, who held forth in the Cortland Opera House, last Wednesday evening, in
"Upside Down," were greeted with the usual large crowd that follows
in their wake. The acting was fine, and the audience was not only kept in good
humor throughout the evening’s performance, but were literally convulsed with
the eccentricities of the play, and nearly turned "upside town" with
laughter and applause.
The
announcement that Rev. H. E. Gilchrist, pastor of the Stone Church, would deliver
an explanatory discourse upon Universalism, last Sunday evening, called forth an
overflowing house. He handled the subject in such a happy, candid, impartial and
convincing manner, with due respect for those who differed with him, and without
running down other denominations, that the people could not do otherwise than
treat his production with that candor and consideration which it so richly
merits. Next Sunday evening occurs the harvest concert. The church will be
decorated, and the exercises will doubtless be very interesting.
A Committee Appointed.
Last
Saturday a jury was impaneled to investigate the competency of John S. Barber, Esq.,
to manage his estate. Mr. Barber has been seriously ill for some months past,
and his mind is said to have been effected thereby. The jury found that he was
incompetent to manage his affairs, and E. M Santee was appointed trustee over his
person and property. The many friends of Mr. Barber will regret to learn of his
misfortune, as he was one of the most genial men in the community, and was
highly respected.
NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.
TOMPKINS.—Edward
Wortman, of Ithaca, last week caused the arrest of his wife, Delia, upon the
charge of keeping a disorderly house and corrupting the morals of their eleven
year-old daughter. She was arraigned on Friday before Justice Spencer, but the
evidence given was not sufficient to prove her guilt, and she was discharged.
Two
registered packages, sent to a firm in Ithaca, from New York, but which were
stolen in passing through the Geneva office, were recovered and delivered to
their owner in town a day or two ago. The thieves have all been held to appear
before the United States Court. They are all young boys, and the ringleader is
a son of the ex-post master.
Ithaca
sportsmen are taking steps to bring to justice the persons who have been
shooting wild ducks from sail boats Also for shooting between sunset and
sunrise. If the names of the persons who a few mornings since surrounded a flock
of ducks at the Corner-of-the Lake and fired eleven shots into them, while they
were sleeping, can be found out, roast duck for them will be expensive. It is
$35 fine for either of the above offenses.
Another
layer of salt was struck at the [natural gas] test well on Saturday. It proved
to be about six feel in thickness, and the drill after passing through again encountered
the Salina shale, through which it has been working since the large bed of salt
was struck. On Monday the large cable to which the drill is attached broke, and
though repeatedly spliced, parted each time and drilling had to be suspended.
If work is continued a new rope will have to be procured, and this will depend
on whether more money is raised, as the funds on hand are nearly exhausted. The
depth of the well is now nearly 3,000 feet.

THE PERFIDIOUS MCGLYNN.
Bishop McQuaid Warns His Flock Against the Ex-Priest.
Rochester, N. Y., Oct. -- Rt. Rev. R. J. McQuaid, bishop of the Roman
Catholic diocese of Rochester, replied to the strictures of Dr. MCGLYNN, made
at a United Labor mass meeting held Thursday evening, in a sermon at St.
Patrick’s cathedral this morning, which has created a decided sensation in this
city. The following extracts from the discourse will give an idea of its tenor:
"On Thursday of last week
an excommunicated Catholic priest, who is running about turning the stone for the
grinding of political axes, addressed a Rochester audience, such as it was. Of
the men who supported this unfrocked priest by their presence, whose names are
given in the daily papers it is necessary to speak at present. The political
heresies of communism in land are as old as the hills."
"How these words should
have blistered the lips of the man who once stood at the altar of God,"
exclaimed the bishop, referring to the statement of Dr. McGlynn that most nuns
were fitted for their calling by their professional garb. The right reverend gentleman
appealed to his people, whose children constituted some of these nuns, and who
had been ministered to by them, whether he was not justified in his indignation
against the utterance of this bold, brave and burly ex-priest.
"Is it any wonder that people
ask 'who is this unfortunate man who has a tongue of scorn for the lowly as
well as the high in station? It is easy to answer this question. He is a man
who for years accepted the food and clothing of the propaganda which he now
calls the machine. Perhaps he will say that that expression too, is 'a joke,' but O, the
malice! And this is the man who calls the cardinal who presided over him 'a yellow skinned Italian."'
The bishop then alluded to the
career of Dr. McGlynn at St. Stephen's. He said that he found himself as a very
young man, priest over the largest Catholic congregation in the country. After
nineteen years the church found itself $145,000 in debt, without schools and
considerably disorganized. The priest had the most expensive parochial table of
any priest in New York. He had vacations in plenty and the applause of the
world cheered him on.
"This priest was either
incapable or indifferent to his work," said the bishop, and "ought to
have been removed long before he was."
As his reasons for denouncing
McGlynn from the pulpit, the bishop said: "There have been very few of my
people who have gone to hear him, and those are of a character by whose
secession we should lose nothing. The danger is that he will mislead ignorant
persons by his loud profession of Catholicism. 1 am bound as bishop to guard my
flock. I am not responsible for those who are wayward and will not hear my
voice, but I am responsible to my God when my conscience tells me to raise my
voice against wrong. When a Catholic priest or an instructed Catholic goes to hear
this man it is a sin, and he is liable to excommunication. If this thing goes
on, you will find that I and other Catholic bishops will pronounce sentence of
excommunication against those who, not being ignorant, hover about this
man."
