The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Monday Evening, December 14-1896 DUSTIN'S STORE CLOSED. Stephen A. DUSTIN's drug and grocery store at No. 57 Main street was closed this morning by Under Sheriff SOUTHWORTH on the foreclosure of a chattel mortgage for $1,070 on the stock of goods and fixtures given by DUSTIN to his wife, Kate L. DUSTIN. The mortgage was not filed in the County Clerk's office until this morning. The action seems to have been mutually agreed upon between Mr. and Mrs. DUSTIN. The Under Sheriff advertises to sell the mortgaged stuff at public sale on December 21st. + + PROMINENT LE ROYAN DEAD. Le Roy.--Miles P. LAMPSON, a lifelong resident of this village, died at his home on West Main street this afternoon, aged about fifty years. He had been in ill health for several years. He is survived only by his brother, William LAMPSON. * Le Roy.--Dogs got into Charles ROGERS's flock of sheep on Friday night and succeeded in biting 26 of them. Some probably will die. Mr. ROGERS, who lives about 1 1/2 miles south of this village, values the damage to his flock at $125. Mrs. George H. WELLS is ill at her home on Church street. + + NEW BISHOP OF BUFFALO. Buffalo.--News from Rome is to the effect that the Pope has approved of the selection of the Rev. James E. QUIGLEY to be Bishop of Buffalo to succeed the late Bishop RYAN. Father QUIGLEY said he knew his name was on the nominating list, but his appointment came as a surprise, as he had received no official notification. The Rev. James E. QUIGLEY was born in this city October 15, 1855, and received his early education in St. Joseph's college, graduating in 1872, when he entered the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels at Suspension Bridge to prepare for the priesthood. His abilities attracted the attention of Bishop RYAN and in 1873 he was sent to the University at Innspruch[sic], Austria. In 1875 he was transferred to the Propaganda at Rome, and in 1879 finished his course and was ordained, the degree of D.D. being conferred upon him. He returned to this country and was assigned to the charge of a church at Attica. In 1883 the Rev. Edward Kelley resigned as rector of the Cathedral, and Dr. QUIGLEY was transferred to the vacant position, which he has since held. + + MINISTERS IN SESSION. The regular meeting of the Ministers' association at the Y.M.C.A. rooms this morning was fairly well attended. The Rev. O.P. WILDEY of Elba presided and the Rev. E. JONES of North Pembroke was elected Permanent Secretary and Treasurer, to succeed the Rev. W.T. EDDS, who is soon to remove from East Pembroke. The Rev. D.E. BURT of South Alabama was selected as critic for the session. "The Best Preparation for a Revival on the Part of Pastor and People" was the subject of a thoughtful paper read by the Rev. J.M. SCARFF of Bethany. All true revivals originated with God, Mr. SCARFF said, and they could only be brought about by prayer and united efforts on the part of both pastor and people and by the pastor preaching against sin. A lengthy discussion followed, in which all present participated. + + FOR COUNTY TREASURER The second term of John M. HAMILTON as County Treasurer will expire with the year 1897. A successor to him will be nominated in the Republican county convention next fall, and it is given out that two candidates are already in the field. Both are Batavians. One is Albert E. BROWN, the shoe dealer and for several years the efficient Secretary of the Genesee County Agricultural society, and the other is Oren C. STEELE, son-in-law of Robert B. PEASE and who was elected Treasurer of the Village of Batavia for several successive terms. It is said that other candidates will announce themselves later on. The Buffalo 'Times' (Dem.) yesterday, in an article containing many misstatements, wrote up the aspirants for the postmastership of Batavia. It said that Dr. J.W. LeSEUR, William E. PRENTICE, District-Attorney LeSEUR, Mayor Willis D. SANFORD, Ald. Charles A. WILLIAMS, ex-Assemblyman John M. McKENZIE, Ald. Frank C. HEAL and City Clerk George E. PERRIN are among the candidates. Pictures of Dr. Le SEUR,, Mr. McKENZIE, Mayor SANFORD, and Ald. HEAL were printed. So far as Dr. Le SEUR is concerned he has told 'The News' that he is not a candidate and that he was not aware that his brother, the District Attorney, was in the field. George M. GILLETTE of Bergen, who during the late campaign was a special agent of the Republican State committee, is said to continue to hold confidential relations with the powers and to be regarded as quite a factor in the distribution of patronage. John S. BROWN of Le Roy is spoken of as likely to receive the appointment of Under Sheriff by Sheriff-elect William H. HEAL. + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
