Mangled Remains Found.
I Arthur Cousins, aged about 70, who J
has resided in this conuty for several
years, being employed as expert truck
I gardener by various farmers. Cousins
was a great success so far as his woik
went but the poor fellow had one ter
rible failing—drink. Lately he had
been in charge of the Climax truck
patch, but stopped work about a week
ago. On Tuesday evening he boarded
passenger train No 61, wanting to get
off at Beecbwood, but for some reason
was carried to Rathbun, when he was
told to get off, which he did and start
ed to walk to Jacob Andrevvß. We are
told a freight coming east noticed him
on the track, stopped and put him out
of danger, but no doubt he had remained
on the track or laid down, Erie mail ,
coming east having run over him,
crushing frightfully—beyond recogni- j
tion. Had it not been for a bank book
found near his remains it is doubtful
if he could have been identified. His
remains were found by aome trackmen
about one mile east of Rathbun. Cou
c 'name to this country from Hud-I
dersileld, Yorkshire, England, where :
his family of ten children reside.
Poor weak man; he might have been
a valuable man as a farmer, being very
competent His remains were taken
to Laßar's undertaking rooms, to be
prepared for burial.
This (Thursday) afternoon the fune
ral took place at Laßar's Undertaking [
Rooms, Rev. J. F. Anderson, of the M.
E. Church, officiating.

The Circus in Town.
The famous circus arrived in Cohoes
during the small houta of the day and
the experienced workmen erected the
big tents with the rapidity with which
the mushroom springs from the pasture
lot. The layman invariably marvels
at the ease and quickness with which
the circus men build the huge can- I
vasses from a comparatively chaoctic
intricacy of ropes pulleys and poles.
If one believed in the power of magi
cians, one would almost declare that
every big circus must employ a
wonderful magician to wave his wand
over the men when they erect the
tents. However, the combined efforts
of all the magicians on the face of the
earth would not prove effacious in the
matter of building the white tops, for
there isn't a bit of magic connected
with the work at all. It is simply sys
tem that does the trick—a splendid
system which is carefully adhered to
by every working man, from the sup
erintendent down to the humblest can
vassman. And to the careful observer
this system is truly remarkable.
To the infinite joy of the small boy
and his sister and to the evident de
light of the older folks, the circus
parade replete and resplendent in ma
jectic, scintillating, bewildering
beauty, was taken over the principal
streets of Cohoes thir morning. And
the pageant, made a decidedly favor- !
able impression on all who thronged 1
the line of march.
'1 he doors will be open at Heven
o'clock this evening and the perform
ance will start at eight.— Cohoes Re

The famous Frank A. Robbins circus
will exhibit in Emporium, Tuesday,

Wonderful Bargain Sale.
H. A. Zarps & Company, proprietors
of the Great Store, so popular through
out the entire county, has something
new to say in this issue of the l'KKtw,
especially attractive to the ladies. Mr.
Zarps, the senior proprietor, says he
has too many goods, in fact he will be
simply force*! to reduce his immense j
line, hence he is now selling almost '
everything far below the cost price. j
He is deeply in earnest and says he j
will reduce his goods to a reasonable \
size stock even if he has to sell for one- ;
half what they cost.

Young Lad Wins Honors.
From the Boston Globe we note the
following reference to J. Paul Lynch
of Ruxbury, Mass., son of Mr. and
Mrs. John C. Lynch, formerly of this
county:
"Master J. Paul Lynch, 13 years old,
of 1632 Tremont St., who was gradua
ted from the Mission church parociat
1 school in June,was one of 250 who took
examinations, and was the youngest
of the four who won scholarships in
the Boston high school.
These scholarships are worth $250
and they enable those winning them tu>
take the course at the school prepara
tory to entering the college)
Young Lyuch's success is duo to
| some hard work, and In- is pretty welt
| pleased with his efforts.
| "When we tad OV aotaol examioa
i tions I was a little careless," said lit;
| last night, "and 1 was beaten for first
I honors in the class, my mark being
! 96.4 I think it taught me a lesson, for
' I made up my mind that I would win
at the Boston examinations, and I
I have just been notifled that I did so."
