AGUINALDO DECLINES PEACE PROPOSALS, SALE OF LAND, DIED IN CUBA, MORE DEATHS REPORTED, TRAAT-MCGRAW WEDDING, AND GARDNER FAMILY REUNION

Emilio Aguinaldo, President of the Philippines.

Cortland Evening Standard, Monday, September 24, 1900.

AGUINALDO DECLINES.

Refuses to Consider Our Peace Proposals.

AMNESTY HAS BEEN REVOKED.

Filipinos Were Unusually Active Last Week—Americans Lost 100 Killed in Battle —Insurgent Proclamation Orders That Captives Be Released.

   MANILA, Sept, 24.—The insurgent demonstrations last week prove to have been more extended than was at first reported. From Cagayan and Isabela provinces, and the northwestern districts of Luzon, come accounts of insurgent operations and American precautionary measures. Merchants in the province of Albay are getting their hemp to Manila as rapidly as possible, fearing that otherwise it will be burned by the insurgents.

   At Iloilo there was considerable anxiety lest an uprising should occur, but the insurgents there are ceasing their activity and returning in white clothing to the garrisoned town of the district. As a resumption of insurgent operations is considered quite probable the Americans there are taking the necessary steps.

   The American casualties in killed and wounded or missing during the last 10 days approach 100, including those at Siniloan, at the east end of Laguna de Bay, where the insurgents after the engagement delivered 10 bodies of our dead.

   Documents captured in Manila show that the insurgent activity in this vicinity were ordered by rebels here, following instructions from the Hong Kong Junta.

   Senor Buencamio has received from Aguinaldo an answer regarding his peace proposals. Aguinaldo declines to consider them and declares that he is unwilling to agree to a compromise.

   Archbishop Nozaleda, with Bishop Hevia and 10 friars, will leave for Spain Tuesday. He goes to render his decennial religious report. He says he expects to return here. During his absence the affairs of the archdiocese will be administered by Monsignor Chapelle.

   The amnesty expired Sept. 21, and the conditions that existed previously have been resumed.

   An insurgent proclamation, signed last month by Aguinaldo, directing that American prisoners be set at liberty, that good treatment be accorded to captives, and that $40 be paid to each American surrendering, has reached Manila. Few prisoners were released under the proclamation. Two, who have just arrived from the Callies district, report that the insurgents in that locality are in "better spirits" that they had displayed at any time before since April.

   Insurgents recently murdered ruthlessly three prisoners in the Lukban district.

   Samar is short of rice but the hemp supply is abundant, the people are shipping hemp to Bulan island and smuggling rice in exchange.

 

Hurricane damage at Galveston, Texas.

GALVESTON AFFAIRS.

City Banks Are Open, Streets Being Cleared and Dark Days Are Passing.

   GALVESTON, Sept. 24.—Sunday was quietly spent in Galveston. Many people attended church services and the day passed without disorder or excitement. General Scurry says Galveston is now as orderly as any city in the state.

   Several times since the storm, rain has come, but fortunately the showers have been light and of brief duration. At the meeting of the general committee Messrs. Ricker and Lee, who had taken the contract for clearing away the debris tendered their resignation because they said some dissatisfaction had been expressed. Mr. Ricker tendered the continuance of his personal services free of charge, as he has given them to the city during the past two weeks. A resolution was passed that some member of the committee should take charge of the removal of the debris without compensation, and Jens Molter, a prominent ship broker, was appointed to that duty.

   A committee from the city council appeared before the central committee to confer with reference to obtaining funds to maintain the police, fire, water and other necessary departments of the city government. The central committee appointed a sub-committee to request Governor Sayers to come to Galveston to confer in regard to this and other pressing matters. Governor Sayers has telegraphed that he will leave Austin for Galveston tonight.

   The transportation committee has been advised that the railroad lines leading out of Houston will honor no more requests for free transportation.

   In all about 40 bodies were taken from the ruins yesterday. Today 2,500 men are at work on the streets clearing the wreckage. Thirty days will be required to do the work.

   The plan to erect homes for those who lost everything by the storm, so earnestly advocated by Miss Barton of the Red Cross society is meeting with every encouragement. A large fund is to be raised for this purpose, to be disbursed by direction of Miss Barton.

   Five hundred and seventy-six persons were treated at the emergency hospitals yesterday. Many serious cases are reported and several deaths are likely to result.

   Two of the city hanks were opened yesterday, cashing scrip for city laborers employed in cleaning street wreckage.

 

Gas Gusher at Dubois.

   DUBOIS, Pa., Sept. 24.—A gas well gusher was struck at Lanes Mills six miles from this city yesterday at a depth of 3,000 feet. The well was drilled by a local company and the drill struck the vein, the gas coming to the surface with terrific force, blowing tools and rocks over 100 feet in the air. It is estimated by experts that the well is good for 3,000,000 feet every 24 hours. The well is in an entirely new territory and will come into direct competition with the Standard Oil company whose wells supply this city and neighboring towns and are located 25 miles from here.

 

Prince Tuan.

TUAN REWARDED.

Promotion in Store For Him, Which Is an Insult to Civilization.

   SHANGHAI, Sept. 24.—It is believed in official circles that Prince Tuan has been or will be promoted to membership in the grand council and that the taotoi of Shanghai will be appointed provincial judge with the notorious Boxer Kang Li as his deputy. The foreign officials are understood to be protesting to the Yang Tse viceroys against these appointments.

 

PAGE TWO—EDITORIAL.

The Looting of Chinese Cities.

   The stories that come from China of the looting of Peking by the allies and the wanton cruelty practiced by some of them are not pleasant reading. It was hoped that they were utterly untrue. Doubtless they have been much exaggerated, but they come with so great persistency that it is difficult to escape the conclusion that there is altogether too much truth in them. It may be said, however, to the credit of the American soldiers that they do not to any appreciable extent indulge in the plundering and in none of the acts of brutality which have been reported, particularly on the part of the Russians. If but a hundredth part of the shocking barbarities alleged to have been practiced by the Russian soldiery be true, it indicates that the Muscovite is quite as much in need of civilizing as the Mongolian.

   No doubt the temptation to plunder a fallen Chinese city is greater than it would be in the case of a European or American city, because the general desire for booty is added to by a certain contempt felt for a heathen nation. The average European soldier looks upon the Chinese as he would upon so many red Indians, and he sees no reason why he should refrain from sacking the city and taking whatever he can lay his hands upon. The fact that the people he is robbing have probably suffered more than anybody else from the corrupt government does not occur to him. If he sees quaint silver curios or valuable ivories or porcelain that appeal to his cupidity, he thinks they ought to belong to him by right of conquest.

   From all accounts the officers of the European troops have made little or no effort to restrain their men and have allowed the looting to go on openly. The fact that the American officers appear to be the only ones who are doing their duty in this regard speaks well for them and for their men and furnishes a lesson in American honor and American discipline which some Europeans quite as much perhaps as the Orientals need to learn.

 

SALE OF LAND.

Some Bought Farms and Some Bought Building Lots.

   The sale of land of the Smith Realty Co. on the Traction company's tract on Saturday afternoon was a great success, as all of the preceding ones had been. A great crowd went up on the special street cars in the beginning tracts of two and three acres were sold from the farm east of the Salisbury hill road. After that four building lots were sold from the tract previously staked out between the road and the trolley track. The sales were as follows:

   W. A. Smith, 189 Railroad-st., two acres, $255.

   Archibald Smith, three acres, $291.

   Glenn McElheny, 22 Cleveland-st., two acres, $191.

   F. P. Saunders, 50 Clinton-ave., three acres, $180.

   A. H. Watkins, 38 Homer-ave., one lot, $20.50.

   S. P. Bulkley, 40 Greenbush-st., one acre, $120.

   Rita Meacham, one lot, $30.

   W. B. Gridley, one lot, $30.

   There now remain 87 acres of the farm east of the road. One party is negotiating for the purchase of the whole tract. If this does not come about there will be more auction sales a little later.

   Next Saturday afternoon the auction will be upon the Fitzgerald farms near the D., L. & W. crossing between Cortland and Homer.

 

Orris U. Kellogg.

RAILROAD-ST. PAVING.

Jamestown Construction Co. Says They are not Responsible.

   Mr. P. H. Mahoney of the Jamestown Construction Co. was in Cortland Saturday and with City Engineer Allen went over the Railroad-st. pavement and had an interview with City Attorney O. U. Kellogg concerning the repairs which the city claims should be made by his company under the contract. Mr. Mahoney claimed that the defects in the pavement are due to the specifications and that the company is in no way responsible for the conditions as they exist. When asked as to the meaning of the five-year guaranty clause in the contract he also claimed his company was not bound to make the repairs under that as the materials used were all in accordance with specifications and there was no fault in the construction. Mr. Mahoney was given until Wednesday of this week to give his final answer as to what his company would do in the matter.

 

Married In Syracuse.

   Mr. O. M. Houghton of Cortland and Miss Helen McGuire of Syracuse were quietly married at the parsonage of the Centenary Methodist church in Syracuse at 7 o'clock last evening by the pastor Rev. B. R. Bender. Mr. and Mrs. Houghton will be at home after Oct. 1 at 11 James-st., Cortland.

 

CONSTITUTION FRAMING.

Excellent Papers Read by Mr. A. J. Murray Before the Science Club Saturday Night.

   Last Saturday evening the members of the Science club met at the Franklin Hatch library and listened to an excellent paper prepared and read by Mr. A. J. Murray on "Constitution Framing." Mr. Murray had several photogravures of the leading men of the constitutional convention, which attracted a great deal of interest. These photogravures were obtained from A. W. Elson & Co., Boston, and are very valuable.

   Mr. Murray stated in opening that his discussion of the subject would be from the historic rather than the scientific standpoint. He asked his hearers to imagine themselves in a gathering of men like those indicated by the pictures, where all were sturdy, conservative, broad-minded and statesmanlike men, and from here the speaker carried his hearers through a close and very interesting retrospect of the incidents connected with the passing of the constitution. Mr. Murray's paper was listened to throughout with the greatest attention and was followed by a long discussion.

   Dr. H. C. Hendrick was unable to be present according to program to give the review of the paper read at the previous meeting.

 

DIED IN CUBA.

Capt. George S. Cartwright Succumbs to Yellow Fever.

   Mrs. Thomas Smith of 3 Argyle Place received a telegram to-day announcing the death yesterday, of yellow fever at Quemados, of her brother Capt. George S. Cartwright of Co. B. Twenty-fourth Infantry, U. S. A. Capt. Cartwright will be well remembered by many people in Cortland as a former student of the State Normal school, which with the sister above referred to he entered in September, 1878, before completing his course here he successfully passed the entrance examinations for West Point Military academy and was appointed to that institution. He took high rank there as a student and was graduated with honor in the class '85. Until the breaking out of the war in Cuba he was stationed at different forts in the West, and on several occasions distinguished himself for his daring and bravery in leading detachments against the Indians.

   For a time he was at Fort Sill, Indian Territory; at Fort Thomas in Arizona; at Fort Watchusett in New Mexico, and when the war broke out he was at Fort Douglass in Salt Lake City. At this time he was the adjutant of the Twenty-fourth regiment in the regular army. His colonel (Kent) was made a brigadier general of volunteers and took Adjutant Cartwright with him to Santiago on his staff with the rank of major of volunteers. He served through the Santiago campaign.

   At the close of the war he was made a captain in the regular army and was transferred to the quarter master's department and was stationed at Matanzas, where he was made assistant quarter master. Later he was transferred to Havana and became the chief quarter master on Gen. Lee's staff. For a short time now he has been acting chief quarter master of the whole island of Cuba.

   On Sunday, Sept. 16, he was attacked with yellow fever. There had been a little of this disease in the army and several of his comrades bad died. He was ill just one week and passed away yesterday. His age was 38 years.

   It is not known yet what disposition will be made of the remains. It is expected that they will be brought to this state for burial, but it may not be till colder weather.

 

DEATH OF H. W. BRADLEY.

Was Thought to be Recovering from Pleurisy—Had Heart Failure.

   The Syracuse Post-Standard of this morning notes the death of Mr. H. W. Bradley, who was for several years a resident of Cortland. The Post Standard says:

   Horace W. Bradley of 203 Delaware-at., general manager and a large stockholder in the Kelsey Furnace company, died suddenly at 11 o'clock yesterday morning at the age of 56 years.

   The funeral will be held at the family home on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. I. F. Buell and Rev. H. E. Morton officiating. Burial will he made in Oakwood cemetery.

   Several months ago Mr. Bradley suffered a severe attack of pleurisy, which left him in poor health, and necessitated an operation four weeks ago for pleural effusion. Last Wednesday another operation was performed and Mr. Bradley appeared on the way to recovery.

   Yesterday morning he felt much improved and planned to be about the house during the day. Shortly before 11 o'clock, as his family was gathered around him, he was seized with an attack of heart failure, resulting directly from his former illness. Physicians were called and arrived within a few moments, but nothing could be done to save his life.

   Horace Woodward Bradley was born at New Haven, Conn., Aug. 10, 1844, his mother being a daughter of Colonel Jacob Hemingway of Revolutionary fame, who resided at Harford, Cortland county, N. Y. His grandfather, father and he were born in the house built and occupied by Governor Suttonsall, which is a place of historical interest, [and] is still standing.

   The father died in 1852 and the mother, with her family of five children, Horace at 8 years of age being the eldest, removed to Harford, N. Y.

   Upon his 18th birthday he enlisted in company E of the One Hundred and Fifty-seventh New York Volunteer regiment in which he served three years.

   In the battle of Gettysburg he fell on the first day with a bullet wound through his thigh. He was for two days a prisoner in the enemy's lines and for eleven days no medical aid was provided for his wound. With other wounded soldiers he was put in a box car and sent to Baltimore, Md., after which all were transferred to the United States general hospital at Portsmouth Grove, near Newport, R. I.

   After his recovery Mr. Bradley was promoted to the rank of commissary sergeant and served until the close of the war.

   After that he re-entered school in the Cortland academy. Soon, however, he went to the oil fields of Pennsylvania, where be engaged in business for several years.

   In 1874 Mr. Bradley returned to Harford, N. Y., where he was for sixteen years engaged in the lumber business. During the past ten years he has been a member of the Kelsey Furnace company. Last year he succeeded E. O. Rickard as general manager of the company and this position he held at the time of his death.

   Mr. Bradley was a member of Root Post, G. A. R., and of the Masonic lodge of Cortland. He was a deacon in the Good Will Congregational church and was esteemed as a business man of high character and integrity.

   Besides his wife Elizabeth M. Sutton, whom he married in 1869, Mr. Bradley is survived by five sons, as follows: Harry W., Dwight W., Royal H., Arthur R. and Ross Edward. All the sons are in the city with the exception of Arthur, who is attending Purdue university at Lafayette, Ind., and who is now on his way home.

 

DIED IN COLORADO.

Remains of Mrs. Floyd L. Perry to be Brought to Cortland.

   Word has come to Cortland of the death yesterday in Pueblo, Colo., of Mrs. Bertha Baker Perry, wife of Floyd L. Perry, formerly of Cortland. The remains will be brought to Cortland for burial and are expected to arrive here Wednesday morning, so that the funeral can perhaps be held on that afternoon at the home of Mr. J. H. Wallace, 54 Greenbush-st. Mrs. Wallace is a cousin of Mrs. Perry. Further announcement will be made to-morrow afternoon.

   Mrs. Perry was a daughter of the late Daniel Baker of Cortland and was born in this place thirty-one years ago. She was married to Mr. Perry five years ago the coming November, and they have made their home in Colorado. For some time she has had trouble with her lungs and needed to live in the higher altitudes where the climate was very dry. No particulars are yet known, but the end must have come suddenly as letters were received from her by her relatives in Cortland within a day or two saying that she was in usual health. She is survived by her husband and by two aunts in Cortland, Mrs. Ophelia C. Hotchkiss and Mrs. E. D. Phillips of Cortland, as well as by her cousin Mrs. Wallace. Many friends in Cortland remember her very well and will be sorry to learn of her decease.

 

MRS. HORATIO BALLARD

Passed Away Sunday Morning at Her Home on Court-st.

   Mrs. Sarah Norris Fairchild, widow of Hon. Horatio Ballard, died at 1 o'clock Sunday morning at her home, 22 Court-st. after a brief illness, at the age of 74 years, 9 months and 4 days. She had been in rather delicate health for several weeks, but was not considered ill nor her condition serious till about a week ago. Since that time she gradually grew weaker till the end came. Her one hope was that she might survive till the return from Europe of her son, Mr. Seymour M. Ballard, who is now coming home on the Oceanic, which is expected to reach New York on Wednesday morning, but this hope was not destined to be fulfilled. Mr. Ballard did not know of his mother's serious illness and of course does not know of her death, as he sailed on Wednesday, and up to that time it had been hoped that the difficulty would prove but temporary and that she might speedily be well again.

   Mrs. Ballard was a daughter of Isaac Fairchild and was born in Manlius, N. Y., Dec. 19, 1825, removing in childhood to Cortland. On June 9, 1847, she was married to Hon. Horatio Ballard, who died Oct., 8, 1879. Three children were born to them: Sarah Fairchild, wife of Albert W. Edgcomb of Cortland; George, who died Nov. 6, 1865, at the age of 15 years; and Seymour Morton Ballard of New York, assistant comptroller of the New York Life Insurance Co. Mrs. Ballard was always very fond of her home and in her home life as a loving wife and mother was especially pre-eminent. She was an earnest and devoted Christian, and a member of the Presbyterian church, having united with it May 2, 1858, during the pastorate of Rev. O. H. Seymour.

   The time of the funeral cannot yet be named. It will depend upon the time of the arrival in New York of the steamer Oceanic. Further announcement concerning it will be made in these columns.

 

DEATH OF MRS. AVERY

Wife of the Pastor of the First M. E. Church for Three Years.

   Word has come to Cortland of the death at Ft. Collins, Colo., of Mrs. Ruth Avery, wife of Rev. Geo. P. Avery, who was the pastor of the First M. E. church in Cortland from 1887 to 1890. She had been in a critical condition for some time as a result of cancer of the liver. She is survived by her husband and four children: Clare, DeLos, Beth and Pauline. During the years of Mr. Avery's pastorate in Cortland, Mrs. Avery endeared herself to the members of the Methodist church and many outside of the denominational line. She was a woman of sweet Christian spirit, and combined culture of the mind with true kindness of heart to a great degree.

   They went from Cortland in the fall of 1890 to Winona, Minn., and after three years there to Aspen, Colo., and still later to Ft. Collins.

 

Bowling Alley.

  Messrs. J. W. Montague and E. E. Barnes have rented the store in the Riley block at 16 Main-st., and have fitted it up for a bowling alley. Fresh paint and new paper have transformed the appearance of the place and the necessary fixtures have already been put in. The sport has come to be quite a fad in the large cities and Messrs. Montague and Barnes are confident that there is sufficient demand in Cortland to guaranty the success of the enterprise. The rooms are already open to the public.

 

TRAAT-MCGRAW.

Brilliant Wedding in Whitewater—Former Cortland Lady the Bride.

   The Whitewater, Wis., Register of Sept. 20 says:

   At 6 o'clock last evening St. Luke's church was the scene of one of the happiest events Whitewater has known for many a month. In the marriage by Rev. Dr. Johnson of Mr. Clarence Watts Traat and Miss Elizabeth Greenman McGraw there was a union of two of our most popular young people and no further evidence of the regard in which they are held here was needed than the attendance of enough friends to tax to the utmost the capacity of the church. The bride has spent a good part of her later years with friends in Cortland, N. Y, but is nevertheless always counted a Whitewater girl, while the groom, as all well know, in his many years of service at the Citizens' State bank, has proven himself a good business man as well as a courteous, genial gentleman. None can wish them a happier future than does The Register.

   The church was decorated with a profusion of white and yellow daisies. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of cream satin, trimmed with rare old point lace, the gift of her grandmother, and carried a shower bouquet of czarina roses; her veil was fastened with a sunburst of diamonds and pearls, the gift of the groom. The bride was attended by her maid of honor, Miss Cora E. Wells of Cortland, N. Y., who wore a gown of brocaded yellow satin, trimmed with chiffon and lace, and carried a shower bouquet of white chrysanthemums. Four bridesmaids, Miss Jeanette Putnam of Eau Claire, Miss May Duffey of Cortland, N. Y., Miss Frances Stewart of Kenosha, and Miss Mae DeWolf of Rockford, Ill., were dressed in white gowns and carried shower bouquets of yellow helionanthus.

   Mr. Wm. H. McGraw of Cortland, N. Y., officiated in the capacity of best man, and the ushers were Mr. Paul Traat, Mr. Ralph Traat, Mr. Rollin Bovee of Whitewater, and Mr. Arthur McGraw of Cortland.

   The maid of honor and bridesmaids wore gold crescent pins, the gifts of the bride. The groom presented the best man and ushers with handsome scarf pins.

   Miss Harriet Denison presided at the organ and rendered the Tannhauser and Mendelssohn marches. Immediately following the ceremony a large reception was held at the home of the bride's parents, 1301 Main-st. The bride was the recipient of a number of magnificent and costly gifts, including a large quantity of silverware, choice pieces of cut glass and embroidery, a fine clock, china, etc., as well as several substantial checks; among them one of a hundred dollars from the groom's father, ex-Mayor Traat. A delicious supper was served after the reception.

   A party of young people accompanied the couple to the 9:20 train and took pains to see that they were duly baptized in rice as well as properly introduced to their fellow travelers on the train. Their destination is a family secret.

   The guests from out of town in attendance at the wedding were Mrs. Elizabeth M. Greenman, Misses Cora E. Wells, May T. Duffey, Messrs. Wm. H. and Arthur G. McGraw, Cortland, N. Y.; Miss Jeanette Putnam, Eau Clair; Miss Frances Stewart, Kenosha; Mr. M. and Miss Mae DeWolf, Rockford, Ill.; Mrs. H. C. Roberts and family, Elgin, Ill.; Mrs. H. C. Dodge, Wagoner, I. T., and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Edwards, Eagle.
