With tb* arrival of .1. R I A o r in thla village |aat week the deal by which (touverneur will inquire one of the motl ll<njri»hing an<t pro«|>er<>uH enterpriar* ttikt COM Id come to auy town waa coiiNiimmatcd and uiarka a new era in the hittory of thit lieauti ful and charming place.

Uy the lo<*attou of the International Lace Manufacturing company'* plant in (loUverueur employing anywhere from .'too to 5(H) hand*, a hdoni will be given to the commercial and indiitlrial growth of the town that at the present time would be hard to eatimate.

Kver *ince there waa talk thai the lace plant might 1>e heated herea new atmoaphere haa pervaileil the village aa the reault of the buttle and enter prito that had been arouted among the buAliieaa men, the prevailing 20th century idea of thinga being every­where in e vide noe.

Never did a community work harder Or mora faithfully to tecure. a large manufacturing plant than have the buaineaa men and for that matter near ly every one and never were etrorta more hekutifully or more aucceaifully crowned! with victory. ,

From ,tue moment it waa known that (fOuVerneur atood an e<|ual Ahow with other town* of much larger popu lation and with many a<J vantagea which thit village could not ofter, no atoue wan left unturned that would aid in any way In bringing the project here.

In ooiiariMienoa of the fact that J. H. Ijeaaer iV Company, large lace manufacturers and Importer* of New Yor,k, havedecide<l to Ideate their new plant here haa citit^d the rich aa well aa the poor, the largA aa well aa the tuiall to vie with eaidi other in the joy and ha||pinraa they feel over the bright poaathilitiea the future haa in ttore for thit aplendid and wide a wake town. The btitinett men have caute for congratulating themtelvea upon the aucceaa that haa attembnl their ef *orU. I tot ween $7(MKH) and $100,000 have been Aubacrilied, The fact that buaineaa men prominent in the IInan rial world ot thit town hud given their eurneat aupport a* Wall aa back ing to the enterprise aided more than anything el to in Aecuring the required amount necoaaary to induce Mr. l*-»*cr to look favorably uponOouy erneur. .

Coupleil with thit fact And which aided Oouvernetir'a intereat greatly waa tbe important factor of labgr and the town1* location, it being sway from center* of trade and labor ditll-cultietand ouarrel*. The New York Central Itailrood comjiany alao played an im|H»rtaut part iu connection with Ooiiverneur *e<'uriug the lace plant and plainly thowed it* friend I ineaH to this town by giving Mr. f«eaa^r an ex rellent freight rate. j

The FHKE PHKHS believe* ill falrnes* and not to aay a gene rout and kind word for the etforta exerted In behalf of thi* town by ltohert A. Jrying would hem very grave inpifttice. l i e Uoue of the orgaui/.nrs of the Interna tioual l«ace Manufacturing company and from the day he Ortt came to thi* village until Mr. I,ca*er decided U|KMi Uouverneujr, there ha* tiecn no more earnett well wither or no greater huttler in ita intereat th.*n he. All of hit influence and energy wa* exerted upon the I/**ter* to induce them to locate here. There wa* certainly no man In town that rejoiced over Mr. I*ea*er'* decision mow* heurtily than did Mr. Irving ami the people here will not for^m Inm.

A little retrospection at this time might he apmpo*. Home time ago, the FftKK PKKHN ttated that the lace matter was brought to the attention of the publicf through Anson A. Potter who reoeived proapeettis from His International Lace Manufacturing company which waa being sent Out to the dry goods trade in the vprious towns and cities of this country and Mr, Potter Immediately retpotided 0*JU*f attention of the oompany to

inff doming here in" the early part of Junsj^ Mr. Potter called a meeting tWeTewenitig which wa*. well attended and iuVluded the most RiibMtaiitial men in towir. At that time Mr. Irving un folded to those in attendance the par­ticulars of the enterprise which were very favorably reOeived and resulted iu the appointment of a IInance com mittee and also one of ways and mean*. t Mr. Irving spent a few days here then looking into the advantages of tite, conditions of labor and power and a* h i» tubsequeiitly been learned !>ccame convinced on that visit that (iouverueur had an excellent chance for capturing the enterprise even though many other larger ami impor tant manufacturing centers displayed energy iu their own behalf. - At a public meeting subsequently

held, a committee wa* appointed ana result of Mr. Irving* visit composed of II. a . Aldrich, F. M. Hurdic-lc, V. P. Abbott, U. H. Conger and A. J. McDonald, who vitited New York June 8, for the purpose of making an investigation as to the financial and

feneral character standing of J. 8. jesser & Company and also to learn

what they could of the laoe business. The committee reported that as far A* the industry and general standing of the organizers w«re concerned that everything was more than satisfactory but the committee found that the amount of $7!1,<H>0 proposed by Mr, Irv ing as the amount of preferred stock to l>e taken by the business men here was not the all important c.onsidera tion necessary at that time to secure the plant Hubsequently Mr. Irving made knotfn that recent labor dihVul tie* in the lace industry had demon ntrated the fact that labor would lie the most important factor in the I oca tion of the plant. Later Morris Lesser came here and continued the favor­able impression that had been reported Urn leasers bad of this town. At that time an agreement wan formulated and flulwicriptions amounting to $Hf>, tHHi obtained.

Without going deeply into details it was found that conditions had changed somewhat so as to make it necessary to modify the agreement. Under the tirst proposition Oouverneur was to furnish $75,000, to $100,000 when the plant was installed and in operation. Later, it was discovered that some of the original subscribers to the $150,000 representing the I^esser end of the en­terprise, was impractical as at least $50,000 of the $150,000 wa* contingent upon the plant being located anywhere than as those subscribers termed it in the woods aud in a portion of the Btate that was snow bound for at least eight months in A ytar.

Tljis situation of thing* made it neceksary to rearrange the articles of agreement. Under thi* arrangement the faymenl on subscriptions are to be made 10 per cent on or before August 15, lfti02, 15 per cent on or before two monlh* thereafter, 15 per cent on or lieforo four months, thereafter, 15 per centlon or before six months thsre after] and the balance on call by the board of directors. This agreement was hlso conditioned upon J. 8. !*csser <$ Company subscribing $100,000 and the klouverneur people $?0,000 the original agreement remaining in fowe?

When it became necessary to make thes4 changes iu the condition of the agreement it also necessitated a re sub scripkion of the local pledges T h s caused a hitch in tlie progress of the enterprise. felonic looked upon the chabgc from a pessimistiii standpoint and md their utmost to discourage the subscribers from resigning. For a few days the lace plant project was at a standstill. The pessimists ottered wagerM % to I that the enterprise would never be located here To all intents and purposes the project was prActi cally dead for Uouverueu*.

It WHS at this point of the proceed Ings, through Mr. Irving that IV U Parker was induced to take the matter up. He went to New York, iiad ao interview with the liessf M, returned to this town ami set the wheels of pro tfressiveness in motion again. A meet lOff of f the local stock holders was coNCd, the situation explained and en thusiaMii aroused. Those who hud breu opposing the new condition of things, upon concise and straightfor ward statements made by Mr. Parker, a change of front followed on the part of most of the doubters and the lace mill assured. Subscription psfpers were circulated the following day and while the committee consisting of Parker, Potter and McCarty which was ap poi&tcd at the meeting to solicit sub scrlrjtlous met with some opposition, through their energetic efforts oyer came all obstacles and secured the necesssry money to bring the plant here. /

In the opinion of leading financiers iu town the modified agreement is in reality a fairer and more reasonable proposition to the local subscribers.

Architect Williams left for New York feluuday night for the purpose of posting himself on theipeoitlc require­ments for properly constructing a lace plant It will be thoroughly "p to ilute in every particular a* his visit to New York will enable him to draw specifications which will give (louver neur not only a lace mill hut one which will not be surpassed in build tng*, machinery, etc , in the civilized world. In other words not a stone will be left unturned to makje the International Lace Manufacturing company a success and pride to the community. j

Mr. Williams will return at the*end of the week and as soon as he gets his plans and *|»cciticAtiofi* drawn work will Iwgin at once on the building operaliona. \ A brief story of J. fl. I>*ser ,s success

h) life, in view of the location of the Idee plant'herey will l»e interesting. He started in \)w wholesale lace busi ne** in aumall loft in Church street, New York, in IHTU with $1 500 capital and confined his purchases from New York importer*. He tiought, *old and handled the merchandise with gradual success until IS SO when he accu inula ted $25,000 contributing that as his share to the firm of IjCwia, Cabled l<e**cr. Thi* concern operated as di reel importers. It was with this lirtO Unit Mr. liesser iiegan his practical ex |>ciieuce as a buyer in the Kiiropenn market*. This linn dissolved in 18M> Messrs. Ijcwisof Cuhle retiring and the present firm of J. S. J,efcserA;Company was formed by Morris I#e*ser, former­ly a salesman of the old firm, beeom iug an active partner. The new lifm branched at once into the manufacl ure aud finishing of luces with head quarters in Nottingham, Knghuid, ahd very soon thereafter organized a plant at Ht Call, Switzerland, which has been operated very successfully with out interruption since that time.

J. H. I cesser will leave for Furope next week for the purpose of expedi­ting the delivery of the machinery for the lace plant and will not return um til the late fall. Morris 1/esser will be compi led to take charge of the New York business but the work will con tiitue here under the supervision of Mr. Irving working in conjunction with H. (1.

Fred li. Stoudenburg, a German em plovexl as brakeman on the switch tram here was killed near the St. Law­rence quarry about i\ :3U Saturday even ing. Ho was at the brake on top of a box car when in some way he fell directly across the track. The train p.tssed over his body cutting it in two and badly mutilated i trtherwise. The remains were brought to the depot where Coroner Drury viewed them and then they were taken to the under­taking rooms of Markwick & Cush-man.

Coroner PruVy held an inquest at the vil lage board rooms Monday and from the evidence elicited it was evi­dent that no one was to blame and such was the verdict. l

Stoudenbur^s home was in Michigan and his remains were shipped there Monday night. He came here only a few days before his death, having se­cured employment on the shifter in thai village. Stoudenburg was a young man 25 years of age and had served with the gallant ninth infantry in the Philippines.

S o m a of tho Business Man Com­plain that tho Contraot Waa Glvon to Out off Town Pooplo.

The High school building has been undergoing some needed lepairsand upon that fact several of the business men along the street have entered a big kick. It fceeais that among other things a /inc gutter Was placed aroVind the eaves of tbe building and this con­tract was giyen to a Watertown com­pany. There are four hardware con­cerns in town but none of them were asked to bid on the contract., Every one of them is a taxpayer. It seems to be the general opinion that the board of education has erred in that it didn't patronize home institutions. The <juery arises, is it right to give coutracts to out of town people to per* form work on public buildings that can be done just as well, if ijot oetter, by citizens residing here and who are taxpayer**? \ v , .

Paath off Miss Julia Cono. The twilight hours of a long and

quiet life settled into the rest of eter­nity August 16th when Miss Julia A. M. Cone passed away in the eightieth year of her age. Death came gently and Idndly, as slumber at the end of a long day, neither sickness nor pain to distress, but a passing from life to death with scarce a day's time in the transformation.

Miss Cone was born in Fort Ann, Washington county, N. \ . , on Christ mas day, 1822, and when about ten years old she c ime with the family of her father, the Isle Sylvautis Cone, to Uouverneur, where Mr. Cone estab­lished and for many years conducted a milt for the manufacture of wool into cloths and yarns, then an indus try of importance to the farming com munity. Julia was the eldest daugh ter, aud one of a family of six In her girlhood she united with the Pres by ter ion church, and always was u faithful member, strict in her attend­ance at all the services, and the Christ­ian's faith her constant hope.

The family resided in John street, Miss Cone being the last to leave the family home wiiere all her active life was passed. A few years ago Miss Cone went to reside with her niece, Mrs. Benj K. Brown, residing there for the remainder of her life, Sur viving her are one brother and two sisters, Mr. Charles LJone, of St liouis, Mrs. Frances C. Malcolm, of Syra­cuse, aud Mrs. Carrie Backus, of Uouverneur.

The funeral wa* held Tuesday after-noon from Mr. Brown's residence, Uev. Dr. Brodie officiating.

In P o p u l a r Favor .

Base ball enthusiasm in Gouverneur ii on the gain although it could be irfiproved considerably yet. .

The attendance has incre s^l ahd the management feel encouraged. Gill edged ball is being pli>ed and the local team is without doubt one of the strongest in the St. Lawrence Kiver league . While the team is now in third place before the end of the week, it is more than probable, that it will have tied Kingston and become a danf e ous foe of Gananoque who now has the lead with a good percentage in its favT>r. In the game Saturday with that team Gouverneur won easily and the local "rooters" believe that the Stone Cutters will soon bein first place again. Never was the national game played better in this town and never did it have such an excellent aggrega tion of ball players than at the present time.

The club is Worthy of the best sup port, the townspeople can give it. There should be large crowds at every game and the citizens should take pride in the fact that Gouverneur has a pen­nant winning team. The local man­agement has had much to con tend with but all obstacles have' been overcome and the club and management are working in harmony with each other. This means much.

There is not a person in this village who has attended a game this year but has come away with the knowledge that Gouverneur* ball tossers are of the first class order and even though they were beaten have gone again.

The amusement loving people of this village should be glad that it has enough young men of the hustling and wide awake order who are willing to back the team and make it possible to give to the citizens of this town the pleasure of witnessing gilt edge ball.

There is not a town of any size in the ttate that is of the progressive order that does not have a base ball club. It is by ti l odds the national game and when played by manly young men it is rare sport. The game in up to dale towns is largely patronized and by the best people tltat compose their pbpula tion. It should oe here. Do ao in the future. The zest and excitement of the sport is animating and a good cure to drive dull" care away.

The local team played an interest­ing and snappy game with the Pots­dam aggregation on the diamond here Monday afternoon of of the Northern New York League.

The pitching of Terry and ths sharp fielding of To bin and Sarsfleld and the excellent work of Con and Jim Daley and Terry at tirst were the features The batting was something terrillc two and three baggers being smashed out with ease.

Tbe score follows: Oouverneur . . . , . 1 0 1 3 0 1 6 b 0—0 HottdAm... T. 0 0 0 0 1 2 0 0 O-'J

'The tineait and snappiest ball game ever seen in Gouverneur and there have been some cracker jucks was highly enjoyed Wednesday when the tltone dqtiers defeated the Cantons in a game f iat was almost etsorters and the excellent work of Con and Jim Daley and Terry at first were the features. The batting was something terrific, two and thre« batrgers being smashed out with ease.

It abounded in brilliant plays and was rattled off in a little oyer an hour. The 8|>ectators were kept up to a hi^h pitfh of excitement from staft to Qnifh and were ioud'ii; praise of theGouver neur team's w o k . Vowinkle did phenomenal work in the box for Gouverneur, was ably supported at the ph^te by McCArty in fact by the whole tesjm. The score resulted I to 1 in faiorof Gouverneur.

After winning a good victory on the local diamond Wednesday from Can top, Campbell's Stone Cutters were taken in by Canton on Uie following day at Canton by the following scorv: Uouv«ru»ur DU'JO 1 i i o n o ;; Canton 0 1 0 0 1 4 0 0 x 1 * ,

In a hard luck game at Kingston Friday the Gouverneur team was de feated by a *core of I to ft and at Gan anoque the following day the GOIIV erneur team won by a score of -1 to 1

Gene Campbell's stone cutters will cr<Ks bits with the Antwerp team On the loc*l diamond tomorrow after noon. Turn out and give the club a big reception. Vowinkle, the fast Uourermur twirler, will l>e in the • tw,x. , |

H a v i n g a R o u g h Road to T r a v a L

The trolley ; In jolly By golly T* i , . '

Th$ surveyors on the proposed trol ley road from Fullerville to the SL Lawrence river have been at work be tween this village and Hailesboro for the past few days. They have lw»en engaged in nyining another line be­tween these tw6 points, coming out near the quarries. It is thought that such a route could be constructed cheaper than the one previously sur veyed from the old steam mill to Hailesboro. There is another idea al so that has entered into this change and that is the passenger traffic the trolley would get by running via the quarries.

There is much speculation as to whether the trolley will purr under the management of the present pro­moters or whether it will be under new men and new methods.

There is not the least question but that some day there vfill be a trolley road in this town.

It is already intimated that the pre* ent scheme may be abandoned. It is rumored that the New York Central railroad company has had a survey made for a side track at York for the purpose of accommodating the Union Talc and Ontario Talc companies. At the present time there is no such a siding there so that these companies are compelled to draw their talc to this village or else to Kmery ville. In the past to have drawn it to the latter place would have cost more in the long run to have gotten it to Gouver­neur than it would liy teams. As has been stated before this mode of trans portation is too s]ow for the demands of the growing business of the Union Talc Company. Humor has it that the New York Central proposes to construct a side track at York so that these two companies can load their cars at that point. It is also the gossip on the street that the railroad com­pany is disposed to give them a reason able rate ontfreight to this village. It is a fact that if these companies were able to.load their cars at York where one load is now gotten to the railroad from the mill in a day two at least and possibly three would be the result.

The power back of the present move ment for a trolley road i* the Union Talc Company aud its effort in this direction is simply to get rapid transit for the output of its mill. It is the gener *l opinion that if the New York Central constructs a siding at York and makes the rate at such a Qgnre on freight between York and Gouverneur thut is acceptable the trolley project will end in smoke.

Such a termination would really lie too bad. There should be a trolley. The mineral wealth lying buried in the hills and vales of the surrounding country is waiting for just such an en­terprise to bring it forth and make this north country resound with the pick and shovel. With its uncoveriug capitalists would bo attracted here, mahufar'ures would spring up and fKinulatiiin woqM inoreMMf.

it is to be hoped that the trolley project will becomf* a reality and if not now some time in the if ear future.

Businoas Men Talk about tho Frmn*

chlso Granted J. H. Abbott for Light and Powor Th#y Believe to an Individual that tho Village Counolt Should Give Htm One Similar to That tho Present Com­pany Haa- Tho Board Will Bo Asked to Do S o .

Judging from the interviews printed in this issue of the FHKE PRE^S, the busiuess men of the vil lage are aroused over the action of the board of trus tees in compelling Mr. Abbott to place his wires under ground in the fran chise granted him for furnish Lag light, heal and power. The prevaif ing opinion seems to be, that all things being equal, one citi&en is no better than another, ahd that in fairness Mr. Abbott should be given a franchise of the same character and nature as that under which the Oswegatchie Electric Light and Power Company is operat­ing. The story printed in this paper last week relative to the siiuatiou of things as they developed in the board has caused any amount of talk and more than an hundred citizens have complimented the F R E E PREHH for tlie courage it has shown in printing tbe news and in giving the true situation relative to the board's action in rela­tion to Mr. Abbott's franchise.

Nearly every person seen was 6nIyC| too w i l i n g to express his views and | those who did not care to were in sympathy with Mr. Abbott but were afraid that if they did say anything it might injure their business. A great rhany more interviews might have been printed if the F R E E PEEKS had the space but a sufficient number is given to show tbe unanimity of oniu ion against the action of the village council.

freely. Attorney Joseph George, who was a

member of the board when Mr. Abbott made his proposition five years ago to do the pumping for $500 a year less than it was being done, when asked for his opinion as to the board's action compelling Mr. Abbott to put the wires under ground said: *'In my judgment trustees ought not to do it for the reason that it would be impos Bible to put them under ground and give light and power at a reasonable rate. The more it costs to string the wires the larger the expense. To re moye the restrictions would be for the benefit of the citizens as muoh as for Mr. Abbott as the lighting and pump ing could be dope so much cheauer. I don't think that it is just to ask Mr Abbbtt to gp to such au enormous ex pense as it will be to put the wires un der ground." Asked as to >is opinion relative to making him pay |M) for hit franchise Mr. George replied: "1 don't think he ought to pay it unless the others are compelled to do so, A fair show and no favors.
