DR. JEROME ANGEL

Cortland Evening Standard, Wednesday, September 2, 1896.

DR. JEROME ANGEL.

   Many friends of Dr. Jerome Angel will be shocked to learn of his sudden death from paralysis at 6 o'clock this morning at his home, 6 Monroe Heights, [Cortland, N. Y.] At 11 o'clock last night he received a call to attend a case. He had retired, but rose at once and started to dress. When all ready but his coat he complained of not feeling well. Mrs. Angel stepped to his assistance, but before she reached him he dropped into a chair. His son, Walter, who was in the house was called and helped him to the bed.

   It was found that his entire right side was paralyzed, and he never spoke again or opened his eyes, though it was thought that he was conscious. Drs. Dana and Higgins did all for him in their power, but to no purpose and he died this morning at 6 o'clock. He had been in usual health up to the time of the shock.

   Jerome Angel was born in Union Valley, in the town of Taylor, Cortland county, N. Y., in June, 1835. His parents were Franklin and Mary Ann Angel and he was the oldest of four children. His father died when the doctor was only 11 years old and his mother about twelve years ago. One brother, Walter H., died in the army and one sister, Mrs. Joseph Cotton, died about twelve years ago. One sister, Helen M. Angel, survives.

   At the age of 22 years he was married to Mary Ann Halbert of Taylor, N. Y., who survives him. They have one son, Walter Angel.

   He was graduated from the Geneva Medical college before his marriage, and practiced medicine in Union Valley thirty-two years. Eight years ago he came to Cortland, and has since followed his profession here. For two years he was supervisor of the town of Taylor.

   He was a church member for over forty years and for a long time was superintendent of the Sunday-school in Union Valley. At the time of death he was a member of the Presbyterian church in Cortland. He was universally respected and beloved.

   The funeral will be held Sunday at 2 o'clock at the house and will be conducted by Rev. J. L. Robertson. It is expected that the masonic fraternity of which the deceased was a member, will conduct the services at the grave.

State Fair.

   The D., L. & W. R. R. will sell tickets Aug. 31 to Sept. 5 to state fair grounds and return for $1.80 including admission to state fair. In addition to regular service on Sept. 1, 2, 3, 4, a special train will leave Cortland at 8 A. M., arriving at fair grounds 9:30 and returning leave Syracuse 6:30 P. M.

A BAD RUNAWAY.

A Horse Stumbled and Broke the Neckyoke and Trouble Begun.

   Last Sunday just before night as Mr. and Mrs. E. A. McGraw and son Ivan of Cortland and Mrs. G. Dutton of Truxton were returning home from the latter place they had a lively runaway and quite a serious smashup. When about one and one-half miles this side of Truxton one horse stumbled and fell headlong, breaking the neckyoke and letting the pole out upon the ground. Both horses were frightened and started off at a full run, and one of them began to kick. After running twenty rods or so, the pole prodding in the ground all the time, the wagon ran against the fence. Here the pole was broken and the horses were freed from the wagon. They ran a few rods further and stopped of their own accord. Both ladies were thrown out. Mrs. Dutton landed squarely on her back and was at first thought to be quite seriously hurt, but no bad results have yet appeared. The rest only received slight bruises. A new pole and neckyoke were borrowed and the party came on to Cortland without further accident.

THE DRYDEN FAIR.

To be Held Sept. 22, 23 and 2—Greater Attractions Than Ever.

   The ever popular Dryden fair will be held this year upon Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 22, 23 and 24. During the past year three acres of additional land have been purchased, the grand stand has been increased to double its former size, the buildings have been rearranged, and several other important and expensive improvements have been made. The premium lists have been issued and contain, not only the customary schedule of premiums for livestock, farm produce and fancy goods, but also a large number of special prizes. There are four prizes for handsome babies, prizes for bread, prizes for guesses on number of tickets sold at the gates, prizes for butter, for vegetables and a large number of others.

   There will be both horse races and bicycle races on all three days of the fair. A ball game is scheduled on Wednesday between the officers of the Dryden fair and the Newark Valley fair. There will also be trap shooting between the gun clubs composed of the officers and their representatives of these two societies. The attractions are too numerous to be mentioned in a newspaper notice. Send to Secretary J. B. Wilson at Dryden for a catalogue which tells all about it. The Lehigh Valley road will sell round-trip tickets from Cortland to Dryden for fifty-six cents.

Jacob Gould Schurman.

To Work for McKinley.

   ITHACA, Sept. 2.—President Schurman of Cornell university, having been invited by the Republican national committee to make some speeches in the present campaign, says in his letter of reply:

   "The issues of this contest are so grave and momentous, so inseparably bound up with the moral character, the political security and the material prosperity of the country that, though my personal engagements and official duties are numerous, I could not say nay to an invitation to work for the election of McKinley without doing violence to all my sentiments of patriotism and civic duty."

What the Chicago Platform Proposes to Do.

   It proposes to repudiate in great part the national debt, to the distress of the thousands whose small resources are intrusted [sic] to the faith of the Nation, and to the dishonor of our country in the eyes of the world; to destroy the protection we enjoy under the Supreme Court of the United States, the most honored and in the last resort the most necessary institution we have; to restrain the arm of the National Executive from the repression of lawless violence; and even from the preservation of the very agencies of the Government itself; to violate the obligation and sanctity of existing contracts and to restrict the freedom of private contracts in the future, It seeks, in short, to break down the dikes which the Constitution and the law of the land have with long and laborious assiduity raised for the defense of the common interests and welfare, and to let in upon us the seething and polluted flood of communism, mob law, bankruptcy, repudiation and anarchy, which it is the chief object of all civilized Governments to exclude.—Hon. Edward J. Phelps, Minister to England under Cleveland's First Administration.
