They came to this country the following year, settled at Covington, Ky.. where they remained till 1850, when they removed to Cambridge City, via the canal. Both husband and wife were con" spicuous. in the religious life of this community. It was through their efforts that the Baptist church was organized in 1839. Since the death of her husband a year ago and more, "Grandma" Marson. as she was familiarly known, divided her time between relatives.

ROOSEVELT PIER WAS DEMOLISHED City Council at Oyster Bay Makes President Live up to Its Ordinances. THE LANDING HISTORIC PROPERTY OWNERS ON THE SHORE FRONT AT THE VILLAGE ARE MADE TO REMOVE THEIR OBSTRUCTING PIERS. Publishers Press Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 2. The J. West Roosevelt Pier, made historic by President Roosevelt and many distinguished m?h who have come to see him upon matters of national and international importance, was today partially demolished by the highway commissioner of Oyster Bay. Notice was served on the owner of the "obstruction" that unless it was taken down within a short time, the commissioners would complete the work started this afternoon. In addition to the Roosevelt Pier, tho commissioners partially destroyed the pier belonging to Frederick L. Coudert and George C. Maxwell of New York and two stone walls upon the water front property of Louis C. Tiffany, the New York jeweler. While tho commissioners were superintending the work of demolishing at Couderts Pier. Mrs. Coudert, Sr., and Mrs. Coudert sr., came out and gave them a verbal dressing down that ther will remember for some time to come. The fight between the shore front property owners and the village authorities has been going on now for considerably more than a year. According to the town records, the entire short front from Oyster Bay village, around Cooper Bluff to Laurelton, where Tiffany has his place, was dedicated as a public highway many years ago. The property owners who buiUl piers or walls upon the beach which obstruct the passage of teams, are therefore nothing more or less than trespassers in the eyes of the village fathers.

A DANCE IN THE- EVENING

BASEBALL GAME, TUG OF WAR AND SEVERAL FIELD DAY EVENTS FILLED THE PROGRAM OF AFTERNOON. The Dutch may have made Milwaukee famous, but they were not in the running at all in the athletic contests that were held at Jackson park yesterday afternoon during the annual picnic of the Knights of Columbus. The sons of Ireland completely overshadowed their German brothers in all of the most important athletic contests of the afternoon. They not only won the base ball same but also proved that they were the strongest in the tug of war. The picnic of the Knights and their ladies was one of the most enjoyable that has been held by them for several years. From early morning till supper time last night, the Knights and their families arrived at the park and it was thought that there were at least five hundred people on the ground, some of them representing the councils at Cambridge City, Liberty, Milton, New Castle, and Centerville. One of the features of the event and the one which closed the day's merriment was the dance given in the pavilion last night. Although all of the events proved highly interesting the base ball game between the Irish and the Germans was the headllner. John Zwissler who was on the side lines was one of the best rooters on the grounds and the way he danced around whenever one of his Dentschland friends made a score was a sight worthy of vaudeville. On several occasions Zwissler ran out in the diamonds to argue with the umpire, although he was supposed to be a disinterested spectator. The efforts of Zwissler and Recker the captain, to win the game for the Germans, were unavailable, however, for the men from Cork carried off the honors by a score of 12 to 9. The other event which attracted much attention and was the source of much amusement was the "tug of war." After a long and hard pull the Irish started the Dutch and it was smooth sailing, they running away from their . opponents. The fact that John Zwissler laid down in order to save his teammates from defeat was one of the means by which the Irish won. Patrolman McManus who pulled on the Irish end of the rope did yeoman service and it was largely through his efforts that they won. The other events and their winners were: Boys shoe race, won by Frank Riser, prize a base ball glove. Mens free-for-all running race was won by Robert Luken. the prize being a french briar pipe. Ladies free-for-all running race, won by Sarah Kramer, prize a piece of hand painted china. Little girls free-for-all running race won by Jessie Cronin, prize china cup and saucer. Three legged race, won by Pender and Griffin. Girls and boys handicap running race won by Sarah Kramer, prize a beautiful hand painted cake plate.

Evans, who depends on the street for room in which to load and unload his wares, is thus deprived of half of the highway, in front of his estab-llsh-menlj. Evans claims that the railroad has no right to close-up' that portion of the street in front of his place.
