A LIVELY RUNAWAY
As Irving Lash and family of this village, were coming towards Wolcott from the north Friday the team of colts which he was driving ran away, away, and the occupants of the wagon barely escaped serious injuries.
They had reached the home of Lincoln Harder on the Furnace road, and while halting there, the two children, who were on the seat with Mr. Lash, changed to the back seat with their mother. This left Mr. L. sitting on one end of the seat which failed to be fastened securely to the box, therefore it tipped up, throwing him over on the wheel. At this the team started and Mr. Lash was thrown out, but still hung to the reins which pulled the team around and in this way Mrs. L. and the children were thrown out, and the horses broke away and ran into an apple tree which stopped them; but they were completely cleared from the wagon by the force in which they went astride the tree.
Dr. Tillapaugh came up just as the occupants of the wagon were being righted about and upon examination found the little girl had suffered the fracture of an arm and Mr. Lash's finger was broken, but aside from Mrs. Lash being somewhat shaken up by the fall, no other injuries were sustained. The injured ones were taken to Dr. Tillapaugh's office and the fractures were set and all are doing well.
As Mr. Lash was leading the colts home a wheelman came up behind him which frightened the already nervous animals and they made another spring, but no serious trouble was experienced from this.

DEATH OF BESSIE BARRICK
Miss Bessie E. Barrick, who has been sick but a short time, died at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Charles Dean, near North Wolcott, yesterday, May 24th, at 12:30 o'clock. She was 18 years of age on the 7th of last September.
About seven weeks ago she was taken sick, the trouble at first being strong symptoms of typhoid fever; but later it was found her lungs were badly affected, and she gradually grew worse until she closed her eyes in death. She appeared to be confident until near the last that she would get well, but her friends had lost all hopes some time ago.
In the death of Bessie Barrick, this community loses one of its most highly respected young ladies. Being posessed(sic) with that even disposition and noble character, she was loved by all who met her. Her life seemed to be one of perfect happiness, and a smile which was ever evident upon her countenance won for her a host of admiring friends. Trouble appeared to be the fartherest from her thoughts, and by this she made all around her forget for a time their own trials.
She was born in the very room where she died, and her home has always been made with Mr. and Mrs. Dean who have always loved her as their own. For a time her mother lived in Wolcott Village for the purpose of giving Bessie the school advantages here, but their home, nevertheless, was at the Dean farm.
Although not unexpected, the news of her death was a shock to everyone throughout the neighborhood, and as the message reached this village over the telephone wire, the gloom of sadness was spread over the place, and as the words were spoken with a feeling of sorrow, and the deepest sympathy is extended by all to the heartbroken mother and the other relatives who feel they have lost the light of their lives.
With her large circle of associates, a link has been taken from their chain and the gap will be difficult to fill, as the memory of her will always linger at that point.
It is certainly hard to think a pure young life should be blotted out in the very brightest stage of womanhood, when at her age all joys of the present and hopes for the future are at their height, but such is life composed.
Happy to-day, with joys galore, To-morrow they're gone forever more.
The funeral will be held from the house Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. W.H. Latimer of the Wolcott M.E. church and Rev. M.S. Mowers of the North Wolcott M.P. church, officiating. Burial will be made in Leavenworth cemetery at Wolcott.
DEATH OF MRS. LUCY MARBLE.
Mrs. Lucy Marble, whose illness has been mentioned from time to time in the COURIER recently, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Martin Calkins, at West Butler Thursday morning. Her age was 88 years, 11 months and 19 days.
Mrs. Marble had been a resident of this village and vicinity for many years and was widely known and highly respected; her husband died some time ago. She is survived by a son Jerome Marble, of this village, two daughters, Mrs. Abram Eygnor and Mrs. James Reynolds, both of North Wolcott, and two sisters, Mrs. Calkins of West Butler and another who resides in Jefferson county.
Owing to the sickness of Mrs. Calkins, the body was taken to the home of Mrs. Eygnor at North Wolcott, where a funeral was held on Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, Rev. M.S. Mowers, pastor of the M.E. church at that place officiating. Burial was made in the Thorn cemetery near North Wolcott.
QUARANTINE RAISED.
The quarantines have nearly all been raised from the houses in Wolcott. The Conway house will be fumigated to-day, also part of the Cooper house. That of Mrs. Madan has already been cleared, therefore the small-pox scare in this village has died a natural death, and now everything will be done to stamp out every trace of the disease which was supposed to have been here. No new cases either here or here-abouts have been discovered.

Saxton, has been reorganized and takes the name of the A.M. Graham Coronet Band of Clyde, N.Y.

W.C.T.U Institute.
The Wayne County Institute of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, held in Alton on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, was a grand success. The session opened Tuesday afternoon with President protem Mrs. H.N. Granger of Sodus, in the chair. After the usual order of business several interesting discussions were held, those led by Mrs. Evelyn C. Tolman and Mrs. Helen E. Bliss being exceptionally interesting.
The address of the evening was made by Miss Rhena E. Mosher, her subject being "The Future of Republic." It was praised on all sides.
Mrs. Mary J. Weaver and Miss Rhena Mosher occupied most of the session Wednesday forenoon. A splendid paper on the Loyal Temperance Legion was read by Mrs. C. Fuller.
The session Wednesday afternoon was perhaps the most interesting of any during the convention. Miss Pauline Fuller gave a recitation which was much enjoyed. Rev. F.M. Windnagle of the Sodus M.E. church, Rev. R.M. Connell of Lincoln, F.A. VanHee of Sodus, Ross Hersey of Red Creek and Miss Rhena Mosher held a parliament, discussing the question "How can Christians Make an Aggressive and Successful Warfare Against the Saloon?" Miss Edna M. Thirkell of Sodus gave a recitation which was considered most excellent. Miss Bessie Emery of Alton, recited in a manner that pleased every auditor. A vocal duet by Miss Bertha Musson and Miss Helen Burns was much enjoyed.
The Institute closed with the evening session, and the principal interest centering in an address by Mrs. Mary J. Weaver, the subject being "Behind Prison Bars."
The attendance was large throughout, and every session full of interest.
Resolutions were passed thanking the women of Alton for the splendid entertainment.
