| Pope Leo XIII (1898). |
Cortland Evening Standard, Saturday, July 18, 1903.
POPE PHOTOGRAPHED.
Dr. Mazzoni Took a Dozen Pictures or His Holiness.
HIS CONDITION IS STATIONARY.
Physicians Do Not Think His System Can Absorb the Pleuric Liquid—Pope Received Cardinal Rampolla—Installation of Cardinal Agliardi as Vice Chancellor of the Church.
Rome, July 18.—From last night examination of the pope it appears that the liquid in the pleura remains at about the same level, which is marked with a dermographic pencil on the pontiff's side. The physicians think the liquid amounts to about 1,200 grams. Considering the physical condition of the pope the doctors do not believe it possible that his body can absorb it, as might a strong young well nourished organism.
After the visit of the physicians the pope received Cardinal Rampolla, who remained in the sick room only a few minutes. He again gave the pontiff a full report of the prayers offered in his behalf all over the world. His holiness raising both hands said: "I bless all those who pray to God for me."
In Vatican circles there is gossiping over the great reception given by Mgr. Ajati at Lisbon to celebrate his elevation to the cardinalate and also over the solemnity with which Cardinal Agliardi took possession of the new office of vice chancellor of the church. It is learned, however, that the pope himself in his last interview with Cardinal Agliardi urged the performance of the ceremony.
In sharp contrast with these ceremonies are the continuous preparations at the Vatican for the death of the pontiff.
A huge spit, 12 feet long, which has been used for roasting food for the conclaves since the time of Gregory XVI, was brought from an old storeroom and will be employed to roast quarters of beef for the isolated cardinals while they are deliberating in the conclave over the election of the successor to Leo XIII.
Mazzoni Photographed the Pope.
Paris, July 18.—The Rome correspondent of the Gaulois says when Dr. Mazzoni entered the sick room yesterday morning and found the pope seated in his arm chair and feeling less exhausted he said: "What would you say, holy father, if the doctor transformed himself into a photographer?"
"By all means, my good Mazzoni," replied Pope Leo, smiling. Dr. Mazzoni then produced a camera and took a dozen pictures of Pope Leo, who was taken seated with Dr. Lapponi standing beside him and his valet, Centra, kneeling at his feet.
DEATHS BY TORNADO.
Five Men Killed and Score of Others Injured.
A PROPERTY LOSS OF $2,000,000.
Four Deaths Occurred at Race Track, Where All the Buildings Were Demolished—Fifth Man Killed at Vulcain Company's Plant—Many Houses Unroofed at Streator, Ill.
Streator, Ill., July 18.—A tornado killed five men, injured a score of others and caused a property loss of $2,000,000 here last night.
Four were killed at the race track, where all the buildings were demolished. The ball ground amphitheater and Stauber's clothing factory were also wrecked.
At the Vulcain Western company's plant which suffered heavily, the fifth man was killed.
The Indiana, Illinois and Iowa bridge, costing $1,000,000, is nearly all gone, the hosting works and buildings at Spring Hill shaft were ruined, many buildings in Kangley four miles west of Streator were blown down and several persons were injured.
Many houses were unroofed and otherwise damaged.
Later returns show that sixteen persons were probably fatally injured and that a dozen more sustained broken bones.
The dairy barn of A. J. Daugherty, on the edge of the town was blown down and several persons who were in it at the time were badly injured. At the Vulcain works fifty men had just stopped work when the tornado struck. The works had just been erected at a cost of $150,000.
BIG FIRE AT AUBURN, N. Y.
Loss Will Exceed $125,000—High School Burned.
Auburn, N. Y, July 18.—One of the fiercest conflagrations that has visited Auburn in years broke out about 11:30 o'clock last night and the estimated damages are between $125,000 and $150,000. The flames spread to the High school and this was destroyed. It was constructed seventeen years ago at a cost of $75,000, and is heavily insured.
The old frame building, formerly occupied by the Barber Shop company and owned by Okane & Aiken, was wiped out and with it the numerous industries that had homes within its walls. The loss on the building is estimated at $10,000, while those who occupied it were much heavier sufferers.
These include the Auburn Soap and Chemical company, with a loss of $10,000; the planing mill of E. W. Webb and Francis Dobson, loss estimated at $8,000; the carpenter shop of Charles Hollingshead, loss $2,000.
Buildings on either side of the big factory were burned down and the loss is complete. The Auburn Extract company is a heavy sufferer, the damage being estimated at $25,000. The building was occupied by the Extract company and A. J. Brinkerhoff's carpet cleaning works, which was also fully destroyed. The wood yard of Hickok Brothers was destroyed and there are eight other houses occupied by private families that were damaged more or less.
The fire started in the Dobson planing shops and spread with remarkable rapidity. This building is on the south side of Garden-st., on the Oswasco river and a strong breeze fanned the flames. The heat was intense and the firemen were greatly handicapped. Buildings across the creek were threatened and heroic action alone saved them.
After the Barber building was wiped out the buildings on either side ignited and were consumed. The High school caught and the flames spread too rapidly for the tired out fire fighters and, handicapped by the height of the building, the fire being in the roof, the men were forced back.
The Central Grammar school, adjoining the High school was threatened. Bell's livery barns, to the west, were saved. Dwelling houses on Chapel-st., caught several times, but the fire was extinguished.
Several carloads of lumber in the Central yards caught from the sparks and the Columbia Cordage company's plant was threatened, but the night force at the shops put this out.

PAGE FOUR—EDITORIAL.
The Situation in Macedonia.
No doubt the situation in Macedonia is bad enough, but of all the reports in circulation it is impossible to decide which are true and which false.
A correspondent of the London Times has been wandering in the region around Strumitza, the district where Miss Ellen M. Stone, the American missionary, was captured, and which is said to have been the scene of many recent encounters between revolutionary bands and Turkish troops and outrages by the latter. At a place called Smerelish it appears a band of fugitive villagers were mistaken for revolutionists by a Turkish detachment not long ago and annihilated. Turkish irregulars in search of revolutionists are not apt to be particular in the matter of identification. But the correspondent failed to discover here or in the neighborhood of Istib, which he also visited, any extended signs of the reign of terror which is supposed to prevail everywhere. Poverty and squalor prevailed on all sides, and there was a marked disinclination on the part of the natives to have anything to do with a foreigner, but the inhabitants of many of the villages were working tranquilly enough in their fields. In the town of Strumitza only twenty-three suspects had been arrested, and all of them except two were released after a fortnight's imprisonment.
FOR A TRADES ASSEMBLY.
Effort to Join the Several Unions of the City.
A movement is on foot among Cortland's various labor organizations to form a trades assembly for the purpose of bettering the interests of the members of the unions and aid the general business welfare of the city. One meeting has been held which was attended by representatives of eight of the local labor organizations and much interest was shown. The meeting adjourned subject to the call of the secretary.
The cities of Ithaca, Elmira, and Binghamton unite in the observance of Labor Day. The Cortland organizations have made application to become affiliated with them in observing the day and are at present awaiting a reply.
BENNETT'S HARDWARE.
Large Addition to be Built for Work Shop and Store.
The large and constantly increasing volume of business which is being done by W. W. Bennett in the hardware and plumbing lines at 37 and 39 Railroad-st., Cortland, has made a demand for larger quarters. Work has already been begun and preliminary steps taken toward the erection of an addition 30 by 40 feet in the rear of the present store which will be of brick, two stories high with basement.
The basement will be used for storing stoves, the second floor will be used for a stock room and storage and the ground floor will be fitted up for a work shop with all modern equipments.
The partition between the store and what is now used for a shop will be removed and the entire front thrown into one large store. This will give ample room for the display of stores, refrigerators and other articles requiring a large amount of floor space and will also increase the facilities for carrying a large stock of general hardware.
Beers & Warfield have the contract for the brick work and the carpenter work will be in charge of N. P. Meager. The building is to be completed by Sept. 1.
A LONG CARRIAGE DRIVE.
Coming from Colorado Springs to Attend the Cortland Fair.
Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Weaver, formerly of Pomeroy-st., this city, who went to Colorado Springs, Colo., a year ago on account of the health of the former, are now homeward bound. They left Colorado Springs about three weeks ago with a one pair of horses and a carriage and intended to drive through. They planned to reach Cortland in August in time to attend the Cortland fair which occurs the last week in the month. The distance is about 1,800 miles.

Charles Andrew Gross and Miss Bertha S. Hammond of Cortland were married by Rev. Dr. Keppel at their future home, 191 South Main-st., Thursday evening in the presence of immediate relatives only. The bridal couple were the recipients of many handsome presents. Among those present from out of town were Mrs. Chas. Gross, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Chaplin, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Graham and Miss Sadie Gross, all of McGraw, N. Y.
Park-Crysler.
The marriage of Harry B. Park of this city to Miss Ina Pearl Crysler of McGraw took place at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley A. Crysler, on Wednesday afternoon, July 15, at 2:30 o'clock. The wedding was an unpretending, but none the less pretty event. The bride was tastefully attired in light blue trimmed with white, and carried a bouquet of white roses. The bridegroom, a well-known young man of this city, resides with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank E. Park, at 28 Elm-st. Besides those already named all whom were present, the guests were as follows: Miss Bessie Park, sister of the bridegroom, Miss Grace Hare, Miss Nellie Loope, Harry Haynes, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Bingham and their fine baby boy Lawrence, all of Cortland, Miss Zoe Welch of McGraw, Mrs. J. F. Loope and W. H. DeLong of Polkville, Lee Crysler and Miss Edith L. Crysler, brother and sister of the bride, and the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Keppel.
Miss Grace Hare, who presided at the organ, played the wedding march as the contracting parties took their station under an arch composed of ropes of daisies in the parlor of the home and, while the organ continued to sound softly, Dr. Keppel united the happy couple in the bonds of holy matrimony according to the ritual of the Methodist church. After hearty congratulations the bridal party sat down to an abundant repast, at the close of which the carriage bore the young couple to the Lehigh Valley railroad depot whence they left by the 5:30 train for a short trip, followed by the good wishes—and some other things—from the friends who hastened after them to the depot to see them off.
