At a joint meeting of the village board of trustees and tlie Saranac Lake board of health Friday night, John Lapan, the tormer chief of police of the village, who had presented his refiignation, whipped out a revolver and deliberately^shot Dr. Russell, the village president, twice at close range. One bullet entered the right- wrist of the doctor and the other struck hlH watch and dropped down his pant leg to the floor. A third shot passed through the right pant leg of Dr. C. F. Wicker, who was in attendance at the' meeting. Drs. Kussell and Wicker are among Saranac Lake's best-known citizens and both of them successful practiciag physicians of the place. Dr. Wicker has for some years been physician at the Adirondack Sani- larium. Lapan had been drinking heavily of l.tte. and. neglecting his duty, tfad "prac- tically lost his job. He had been threaten- ing pubpcly for a week to kill Dt Russell,, bat hife threats, so publicly aside, were * not considered seriously except by some of his most intimate friends. It is said that some of his people took his revolver away from him and that he went to Utica aad }»>ught another, returning only onvthe < vening of the shooting. Neither of the victims of the shooting are seriously in- jtyed. but the fact that Dr. Rus^ll's life was saved only by his watch is almost a miracle. After the people in the room recovered from their surprise the assailant was overpowered and his-revolver taken away. Then it was that he declared he had swallowed four ounces of laudanum before the shooting, evidently expecting to make a clean job -of it. A physician v orked over him " nearly all night and finally pronounced him out of danger. The district attorney was sent for and went to Saranac Lake on the train Saturday morning. Saturday evening Sheriff Doug- lass started for the same place in response to # message summoning him there. I japan is said for two years to have carried around silently an imaginary grudge against Dr. Russell and attempted to wreak vengeance upon him when his niind was crazed with drink. He is a man of good appearance and for years had the reputation of being a superb officer. His splendid physique and courage made him a terror to law-breakers and a valu- able man in preser^ug the peace. He was well-liked by his acqaintances and was r.ot considered a bad fellow. His father is one of the best-known and most re- specked citizens of Ellen burgh. The affair is a most unfortunate one. and can prob- ably be charged up wholly to too much indulgence in drink. Lapan was arrested and held for the Errand jury Saturday night and lodged in .Maione jail Monday morning. Domestic troubles ai"e alleged by him to lie at the bottom of the shooting. The bullet which -^is supposed to have struck Dr. Russell's watch is said to have beeu found by the district attorney in the bottom of his vest: another cut his watch chain, went through his clothes and plowed a furrow in the ft^h over the abdomen, btrt did not go into the body. The bullet which struck Dr. Wicker was a spent ball which was shot at Russell and it grazed the calf • of Dr. Wicker's leg. The meeting was held to arrange for the establishment of. a pest honse at SSaranac Lake and Lapan came in and asked Dr. Wicker to give him a powder. As Wicker stepped aside to com- ply with his request Lapan pulled out the revolver and began shooting at Russell. It was a sell-cocking gun of 32 calibre and was discharged rapidly three times. ..La- pan had taken but one ounce of laudanum, but it was with*-4ifflculty that physicians saved his life. Lapan is a married man fifty-eight years of age. and has a fam- ily of five children. \OTAR1KS PIBLH. The following notaries have been ap- pointed for Fiairklin couuty: Thomas Adams, Maione: Edwin S.

York, of Chester- field, Essex county, has been grieviously afflicted recently with a disease whiehNat first baffled the wits of the local physicians. Finally one of the children died, an au- topsy was had aud microscopic tests made, and it was found that the child died of triehjnaris, the family having eaten ham infected with trichinae. Mr. York fed his hogs last summer on refuse frofn the hotel at Ausable Chasm and it was sup- posed that this foot! was responsible for the origin of the disease. This is the first case of thi^"kind ever rvported in this sec- tion;" and isae exhortation that thi? utmost care be used in the proper cooking of all meattrdesigned for the table. Antoiue DeCota, of St. Regis Falls, met with an unfortunate accident just south of Spring Cove ou the New York & Ottawa railroad Thursday morning which cost him his life. He had been at work in a camp up there and was trying, to drive tbree cows across the track and down to the farm of Gilbert Perry, when the ex- press from the south came along. One of the cows ran up the track and he \v.ent up r«> attempt to get the cow back to the road ahead of The train. There were high snow waRs\ou either side of the track, and see- ing that the train was about, to overtake him he attempted to climb up one of the banks, slipping and falling back across the rails just as the train sped along. Cue leg was severed by the wheels just below the knee and his head was badly cut aud bruised. He was taken to hin home at the Falls and doctors prepared to dress his wounds, but before the work could b<? undertaken lie expired. DeCota was 38 years of age and leaves a wife and five smalt children surviving. One of the cows was killed aud another was injured. For additional home news and personals see inside pages.

A new roundhouse is to be built at the R. W. & O. yards in Ogdensburg the coming spring. The new division super- intendent was in that city a week ago with blue prints showing the lay of the railroad grounds, and was looking the grounds and proposed work. The present roundhouse has fallen into almost entire disuse. It being too small to admit most of the engines running there, so that they are of necessity left standing iu th yard. The firm of M. A. Leonard & Co , of Saranac Lake will dissolve by mutual con- sent March 1st, anil a new firm will be or- ganized, consisting of W. C. Leonard aud E. J.* Kennedy. Mr. W. C. Leonard has had charge of the business there for the past eight years and has won a large and profitable trade by honest and square deal- ing. Mr. Kennedy who comes into the new firm has been with rfae old firm for a year and was for twelve years previous associa ted with J. G. Cooke at Potsdam. The young men are both energetic, careful business men aud are sure to succeed. John Tebo. formerly of Maldhe, who has recently worked in a cigar factory at Tnpper Lake has got himself into trouble by passing spurious .checks. One of £2 was passed on John Guff some time ago. and another more recently for ^ ! s was cashed at Leonard's store in Lake Placid. Tebo has been, arrested aud held for ex- amination at Lake Placid. He claims to k&v^- received the checks- from «- roan-in Deuesha's saloon at Tupper Lake in ex- change for a set of harness aud two blan- kets and that he' was innocent of the fact that there, was no money in bank to meet them. ^ School authorities have been somewhat derelict iu their observance of the law per- taining to the purchase and display of the United States iiag, therefore an order lias been issued by Superintendent Charles R. Skjjuiei; upon about 275 school districts in the state, that they, without unnecessary delay, purchase a United Stales flag, flag staff and the necessary appliances therefor, and display such iiag upon or near the school house in the district during school hours, and at "such other times as may be directed and the regulations of the department may require.. When the weather shall not permit it to be otherwise displayed, it shall be placed conspicuously in the principal rotom of the school house. A willful neglect to obey the provisions of the. laws of 1895 and 1898 requiting such display, and this order, will render the school authorities liable to removal from office, and any share of the..public money of the state "apportioned'_ to the district may be withheld. The people of Tnpper Lake village are considering the question' of incorporation and a hearing was had under authority of the town officials at the town hall last Wednesday to consider the matter. A public meeting was then organized and the question was argued pro and eon, the majority' of the people at the meeting ap- pearing to favor the proposition. An ad- journment wa.s. however, taken till Mon- day night of this week when there was further discussion. In the meantime those for and those opposed to incorporation look ed up the question of bow taxation with- in tb^e proposysKi-w^eorporated limits would be affected by the eh&uge. The matter in one which rests solely with the people of Tupper Lake to decide, being purely a lo- cal question. Now a large amount ^>¥ valuable wild land in the town contributes its share toward all the expenses of the village. If the village is incorporated- it will lose some of the taxes now applicable to its highways aud other purposes, but it is argued on the other hand that this will be offset by the. increased value of property within the village. This depends entirely upon what the village tax rate is likely to be after incorporation. If exorbitantly high, this would depreciate village values and work constantly to bring the tax rate up. If the tax rate after incorporation would not be exorbitant the ease with which the public "business of the place could be transacted would be quite an item. The matter is one which needs ery careful consideration on the part of the Tupper Lake taxpayers and which rest^entirely upon themselves for solu- tion. REPUBLICAN VILLAGK CAUCUS. There was a large attendance at the Re- publican village caucus Monday afternoon and organization was effected by nomina- ting Tho». Adams chairman and J. S. Bizel secretary. The chair appointed Dr. E. Larocque, R. McC. Miller and <i. H. Mulholland tellers. Wm. H. Flack was the unanimous choice for president, no other name having been presented and he was nominated by the secretary casting the ballot. S. C. Paddock, & present trus- tee, was also nominated in tne same way succeed himself. E. ,\. Wood and Frank A. Eldredge were nominated for trustees on the West side to succeed Geo. H. Xickelson in district number three and Fred Bodah and F. G. Paddock to succeed Daniel Clark as trustee in district number four. There were also two candidates for. collector—Oliver Cardinal and Wm.

Whatever work is undertaken will probably now be complet- ed for the actiou of the legislature of 1 DOS ' . G THE KXTKNSION OF BOWABD STBKET. The argument advanced one year ago y the attorney for the Railroad Company ^ against the extension of Edward Street was that it would have a tendency to re- from Maione a number of workmen nd practically close the shops if the tax- payers voted for the extension. The Rut- [ndi Company cares but little for the con- sderation of the taxpayer*} of Maione or he interest that Maione has in th«<fcail- •oad, as will be seen by an article pub- shed in the New York Sun. The article states that new Rtfops are to be" built in Rutland and the repair shops removed from Maione to that city. If this ig *true ;he argument of one year ago will have 10 bearing on the question this year. An- ither important reason fo> the proposed •xtension this year that did not exist last the substantial improvements being nade on the east side of the village. The plant built the past year by .Messrs. J*~i3. Ballard & Co., costing $50,000 or more, is but a small part of what the east side of he village eventually will be, as .the rowth is certain to go in that direction if ue consideration is given the subject by he taxpayers. Another important fact is the amount called for by the trustees this year of $2,500 as against $5,000 last y?ar. Mr. R. M. Moore informs me that after the excavation is made and the abutments >uilt, ©f which the railroad company will have to pay one-half the expense, the rail- road, too, must furnish the bridge and put it in. If this be so,the cost to the corpora- tion will not reach the sum of $1,500—a sum less than it cost to construct Badore street on the west side of the river. I repeat what 1 said a year ago. namely: The two main thoroughfares running east of the village are Main street, run- ning past the fair grounds, and Elm street to the Junction. The travel to the June- ion on Elm street is as great, if not great- er, than on Main street. Between these two thoroughfaren tknere is no outlet from Morton street to Cemetery street, a dis- tance of one-half a mile. No such state of affairs exists iu any other section of the village. Another important fact is that the con- nection of Elm street with Edward street would give the people from north of the village a chance to %8 and come from the fair or a circus that is held on the fair ground without crossing th-e railroad track. A funeral coming from this sec- tion of the town of Mal'.ne tf the Protest- ant or the French cemeteries would be likewise benefited. Anothei important fact is a sewer from the Junction to the Salmon river. It sooner or later must corne. When it does it must go under the railroad, through Edward street to the river. There is no other way to furnish sewerage for the many lots lying on Elra street towards the Juaction, which eventually will be built gj^ f these lots would contain dwelling nouses today if a way «,f sewer- age had beeu provided years ago. The argument advanced by some will be th'a: Hawley is the «iy one who wants the proposed exfensio%^iiade, as he owns the hop yard and he wil|^^tre one must benefited. I think m..st people will take a sensible view of the situation as it exists and will not be deterred from vot- ing for the extension by an argument of this kind. When the new railroad was built I did not at the time own a foot of real estate in theto\yn of Maione. I have always taken a great pride in my native n. aud nave always contriirated my aud I think more to its prosperity than most others, according to %uy finan- cial standing. I gave to the -construction of the new railroad *20o. I will deed to the corporation a road three yards wide through the center of the hop yard with- out compensation if the extension isjnade. I could advance a number of other sub- stantial reasons why the extension should be made, but space forbids. l.'nflrrUdnil, . the opposition to the proposed extension comi'Mfrom the railroad company rhrough its attorney.
