Thomas Gibson, 81, of the Gibson plumbing firm, GSOfWahuu htreeI, enjoys the unique, distinction of having led the congregational sing- ing in the First Reformed Presby­ terian Church, Plum street,' near Eight, for sixty-two consecutive years, ■; Mr, Gibson was born near Edin­ burgh, Scotland, July 21, 1821, and came to this country whon.7 years bid. In 1839 he moved to Cincinnati. Shortly after his arrival, Mi*. Gib­ son took music lessons from Timothy B. Mason, at that time organist at the Second Prpsbyteriaw,Church. A t the age of 20 ho was selected to lead the sirigingof the First Reform­ ed -Presbyterian Church, which, in accordance with the rules of that de­ nomination, is entirely congrega­ tional and unaccompanied by any musical instrument. * He lias held that- position, ever since, and seldom misses a Sunday service. The old gentleman says many hymns sung fifty or sixty years ago are his favorites to-day. When he came to this city, Mr. Gibson says the property now occu­ pied by St, Peters Roman Catholic Cathedral and the City Building was alarge lumher yard, which extended from Seventh , street to Ninth, be­ tween Plum street and Central-Ave-; nue. . • . ’ - ■In order to secure a foot- and car- I'iagq way between their residence and Trinity Church, Methodists liv­ ing west of Plum street succeeded in having" Eighth street extended through the lumber yard, Another story told by Mf. Gibson :S that when the old church proper­ ty in Shillito Place, between Elm and Race streets, was purchased a number of officials raised a violent protest against locating thq edifice there which they termed the county.

Stienbefger, Cedarville, Ohio. DEATH OF MILO RANDALL THETOWNSHIP. The funeral services of Mr. Milo Randall, an old and highly respect- ed citizen of this community’ were hold Thursday ofternoon,. from ; the the M. E. church, at 1:30. He had long been a sufferer from .palalyaa the first attack coming on. a couple <if years ago. He rallied front this and was ngainablo To he about and late "last fall lie suffered another stroke. Since then lie has been quite poorly and the third stroke, which came a couple of weeks ago left lit­ tle hope for his recovery, and his death was not unexpected. Mr. was born Oct. 12,1840, and for many years followed the business of a plasterer and brick mason in Cedar- wille. He served 2j4 years in the Rebellion as a bugler, Co. D. 9th Michigan Cavalry. He was married July 28, 1865, to Miss Elizabeth Thomson who,.with ’one son -Prof. Kirb Randall, superintendent of the public schools survives.him. One daughter Gra'ce, student of the- high school, (lied in 1892. The floral offerings consisted of carnations and roses presented by the teachers and pupils of the High Schools, roses from Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, of Springfield* The funeral services were conduct­ ed form the M. E. church, by Rev. H. O. Middleton. Burial taking place at MaBSies Creek cemetery. The fol- lowldg were the pall-bearers: J. W, McMean, J. M. Bromagem, George Randall, Lewis Gilbert. M. V. Denny and J. M. Tarbox. The primary situation in which Messers. J. S. Brown,' D. B. JytcEl- we.in and Edwin Dean were arrested Monday April, 8 on a charge of in­ terfering with an election has not yet been brought up by the Probate courti Mr. Brown not satisfied with the reftultRAR .seen hy_jho count, after hearing a number oTSic things that the “ gangsters” wore doing and at the solicitation of many of ids far­ mer friends, concluded to canvass the township. He was accompanied by a notary who took the signature of the person under- oSth that had voted for him for Central Committee­ man. . There were 200 yotes cast in the township, p t which 199 wero counted one being spoiled. The count gave Jackson 145, Brown 64. The first day Mr.' Brown was out he ’ took the signatures of over GOmen that say! they voted for him. The work was continued until Saturday noon when he went before the Central Commit^, tee with 103 names. „ The rulefi of the Committee were that protests must be filed by the Friday previous. Mr. Brown was aware of this but could not complete his canvass by this time. Then there was little hope that the eom- miitee would- recognize the prdtest from the fact it concerned the elec­ tion of Mr,-Jackson, who °is the Chairman of the committee and un- derthe control of “ Boss” Schmidt. Had the matter been brought before the ' committee it would have been lost by. about a vote of 25 to 30, showing the (ihance the •“ dear pub­ lic” Ims under “ Boss” rule. While Mr, Jackson stated that lie hoped the Committee would lay aside the rules and take up the matter, yet he was perfectly safe in making; such a (statement, knowing full well when It, came time to- vote the “ Boss” would have his men lined up as how to vote. Mr. Snodgrass spoko in be­ half of Mr. Brown and Cheney Cre­ tans, the “ Bosses right hand man, made a motion to receive the peti­ tion, the wink passed around and the motion was declared lost. Sir lh'bNtnahChlsf^ltend&'n^re-uotrdffi- sapointed in the least, at the action of the Schmidt henchmen. There never was a time when the farmer was “ on his ear’.’ as the say- ing. goes as at the present time. Bo anxious wefe they to sign Mr, Brown’ s paperthat they called him up by telephone to call and see them At the present time the list has been raised to about 110with about fifty of the 200 voters that haven bo6n asked to sign it. Mr. Brown is determined that the matter bo sifted to the bottom and has the best legal advice in the county as to his pro­ ceedings,- Attorneys Darlington, Gowdy, Snodgrass, and Judges Dean and Shearer being his advisors. j in the party.

KEYES WRITES A LETTER and happy When the announcement was made that the firm of Kerr and Hastings Bros, had purchased the elevator ‘ and., oilier buildings be­ longing to Mr. W. R. Bterrett, the news came tfe quite a surprise to most persons as they were not aware that Mr. Bterrett was desirous oJ leaving this field. Mr, Sterrott stated to the Herald that during the past year-he has contemplated sell­ ing thinking that after a continuous hustness career for'nearly a quarter of a century, lie was entitled to a rest. For 14years Mr, Bterrett Was associated with Mr, D. S. Ervin and in 1890 purchased the old Sweeney corner, erected a fine elevator and ventured into business for himself. The terms of sale are that Mr, Bterrett.‘is to dispose of his stock by the first of June, at.'which time the owners will take possession of the elevator. Another month j*granted him to clear up iih business using the office as it is at. present. Mr. Bterrett states that he has no definite plans for the future, though tie 1ms.two locations in view where tic might locate in the same business. The firm, of Kerr and Hastings Bros., the new owners have by their onterg die methods built up a good business and acquiring the new prop­ erty will only give them better facili­ ties in waiting on their ever increas­ ing trade. The past season found them in a cramped conditions and it was only a-matter of time until they would have had to’eiilarge their pre­ sent plant. This could..- not have been done with out a great dealt-1 loss to their trade.

Lyons lias been •helpless ter* some - time with paralysis, arid, being a Howie convert Is said to have confessed many oflns sins. Reports wero that Lyonsf ■as sisted in the murdering of. Harris and knew who drowned a_colored woman in Yellow. Springs some years ago. As far as the Herald lias been able to learn there is no truth in the reports but if they are correct they ate ’denied by the family to .protect the son. We left Jacksonville for the Magic City, Miami, the terminal of the East* Coast Railroad and en'routo stopped at St. Augustine, the ancient city filled with famous show places and rich with relics of past English and Spanish rule. We walked on the top of the sea wall which runs along thoentire bay front from St. Francis Barrlcks, one a Franciscan Monas tary, to Old Fort Marlon. On .entering visitors are requested to register. Doing this, we first went into the dungeon and it was terribly dark, a lighted match could not bo seen and In our imaginat: we could hear the walking of the hundreds of prisoners who had been confined within this solid tomb ne years ago. Next .ye entered thKexecution room where 1200 Indi ansW/.ere captives at one time and saw)where the finger points, which th/Cliief of the tribe dug into the «i»Ud stone wall with with hid finger nftjyjft* One can .hardly realize it possible for so many human beings to have been confined ill snob a small room. There remains four different looks on each door of the different cells, of the old Spanish pattern. After going through each room, we mount­ ed the broad-stone steps" tip to the top and climed up into the look-out tower from which ohe can see across the beautiful bay to the Atlahtic beftch beyond. So enraptured with tho charming neons and recalling the many experiences of the defenders of thin ancient city we had lingered to.long mid the ghard called” All those wishing to go out of tho fort come thin way.” But imagine our suprino when we reached tho outer door to find it locked.
