Truman's main contention was the all-sufhciency of the Mosaic law,
which, he argued, was able not only to work true sanctification in

a law of grace, it was no
type or shadow, but the very gospel itself,
to which the Sermon on the Mount had added nothing essential, and
which remained

"Landmarks of Tompkins County" says of him
"Abner Treman passed his boyhood and reached the age of
responsibility just as the struggle for freedom by the American
colonies was being inaugurated and with four brothers patriotically
assumed his share in the memorable contest. He was sixteen years
of age when he enlisted in Col. Van Cortland's Regiment and was
:
assigned to the Fifth Company, serving until the close of the war.
His courage, firmness and ability were such that he was selected by

talents together with a courtesy and kindliness which ever made him

His activities did not entirely cease even in advancing
years till age compelled him to devolve many of his duties upon his
son who had been trained to, and did, succeed him in most of his
business positions.
His business activity may be shown by the

has been held at the residence of James K. Tremain today.
"The day has been remarkably pleasant and no place could
have been chosen more appropriate for this occasion, since it was
just one hundred years ago that the father of James K. Tremain,
Benjamin Tremain, built his log cabin in the woods, and with his
family began life on the very ground where the tables were spread

"For many weeks, James K. Tremain, the only survivor of a
family of ten children, has labored unceasingly perfecting arrangements for this reunion whereby the descendants, many of whom have
never met, might come together and celebrate this the centennial of
his father's settlement on this spot, and his heart has been truly
gladdened by so many responses from different parts of the Union.

comfortably seated at the tables which were groaning under their

Le Grand Lockwood & Co., Wall Street brokers and bankers.
His salary was small at first, but his progress was rapid, and he was
so well liked by his employers, that his advance was rapid,, and it
was but a few years before he received a large salary. The failure
of the firm in 1869, threw him out of employment, but with the
money he had saved he was enabled the same year to start in busiof
ness for himself, having in 1869 purchased a seat in the Stock
Exchange. He was successful from the start, but default of one for
whom
he was doing business necessitated a suspension in 187 1. He
subsequently met every dollar of his obligations. In 187 1 he entered
into partnership with Roswell P. Flower (later Governor of New York)
and E. C. Benedict, under the firm name of Benedict, Flower & Co.
This firm passed through the great panic of '73 with credit unimpaired.
The firm dissolved in 1875. ^^ 1876 Mr. Truman entered into an
arbitrage business, that is buying and selling shares and bonds between New York and London or other cities. Mr. Truman was for a

young Rockefeller is negotiating for the purchase of Rocky

the young pair who will start in wedlock so well endowed.
Miss Abbie Aldrich has not been more conspicuous in church
circles than most young ladies of her station in society, while
the young man has been a leader in Baptist circles ever since he
came from college. He is treasurer of the Fifth Avenue Sunday School, and has always seemed to dread the responsibility
of the great wealth that will be his, rather than to consider it a
means to promote his own pleasure. He is fond of speaking
before religious bodies and has been known to refer to himself
as a steward from whom an accounting would one day be
demanded. Now the question is will she make a society man

the magnificent entertainments she is so competent to give, or
will he make a devotee of her ? Or, will each adopt something
and make the house of Rockefeller
famous alike for piety and for social splendor ? When the
young man was at Brown he was the manager of the football
team and displayed his business quality by making the football
team self-supporting for the first time in the college's history.
He was a very democratic young fellow at college, made no
display of his wealth, and though the football and his fraternity.

his life lay mainly between the offices of the Standard Oil

:
G. Aldrich, second daughter of the senior United States Senator
from Rhode Island, who is to become the wife of John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., the man who will probably be the first
billionaire in the history of the world, is a cultured, brilliant
and serious-minded young woman.
Notwithstanding her
father's long residence in Washington, she has passed most of
her life in Providence, where she was born. Usually in the
winter she goes to Aiken, N. C. The great social functions of
the capital seemingly have no charm for her, although it has
been stated that Senator Aldrich has taken a mansion in Washington this winter and will entertain, with Mrs. Aldrich and
his two daughters. Miss Lucy T. and Miss Abby, as hostesses.
Heretofore the Aldriches have lived at the Arlington Hotel and
have done no entertaining, as Mrs. Aldrich and the girls have
not been in Washington more than six months all told during
the long service of Mr. Aldrich in the Senate.
Probably the
most interesting fact about Miss Aldrich is that, except in the

These features of Miss Aldrich's character, in addition to her
great personal charm, must appeal to both her future husband
and to John D. Rockefeller, his father, whose financial support
of the Baptist Church is only equalled by the great gifts he
makes to the Chicago University, of which he is virtually the
founder. Senator Aldrich, her father, is often spoken of as

does not believe in indiscriminate charity and will not afford
the slightest assistance until she knows the facts. She tells to
her intimates the story of an experience she had in Aiken which
strengthened her resolution in this regard. A few winters ago,
before she knew as much of the wiles of mendicants as she does
now, a negro girl approached her with a tale of woe that was
heartrending. Her mother was dead, her grandfather almost
dead from rheumatism and she herself ill and suffering from
hunger. Miss Aldrich was much moved by the tale of misfortune and called the girl into her house. She gave her a
meal and some clothes and a generous sum of money for her
immediate necessities. She promised also to find her work.
After the girl left Miss Aldrich began to wonder if she had

decided affirmatively and told the cook to put some food in a

she will follow this rule. Her tastes are so
of her future husband that the
benevolences which they will institute will be carried out on
the lines already indicated by the senior Rockefeller. It is
understood that Mr. Rockefeller and Miss Aldrich have been
lovers for some years and that the engagement has existed for
some time. Nearly a year ago Senator Aldrich hinted something of the kind to his intimates in the Senate. Miss Aldrich

"Those, who are familiar with the history of the brave 86th, can
form some idea of Mr. Tremain's experience as a soldier, for this
regiment took part in nearly all the battles of Virginia, from Bull Run

and skirmishes, and was promoted to Second Lieutenant, then to First
to
Lieutenant, and finally Brevetted Captain for meritorious service.
"In the battle of Gettysburg he was wounded, and while in service he contracted inflammatory

recovered, and as the result of this disease at last was stricken by death.

"He went from Hobart

into the army, and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of
the loth N. Y. Cavalry. Having passed through twenty-five
battles and skirmishes, and achieved a brilliant record, he was
by a rebel sharpshooter while leading his regiment at
Hatcher's Run, Virginia, in Feb., 1865. The brief and brilliant
career of this youthful warrior, which for heroic daring in
action, coolness, consummate skill and generalship has seldom
killed
been surpassed, deserves a further record than time and space
will now allow.

To the pen of history belongs the noble task of recording the military operations in which he had the honor to par:

raids performed by the cavalry alone, through the heart of an

to which the heroic soldiers in those armies were continually
subjected, and to which, with unflinching fortitude and cheerfulness they submitted, when we consider, too, the innumerable
deeds of personal bravery, performed both by officers and men,
the holy patriotic purposes by which the great body of those
armies was prompted, the unselfish willingness they manifested
to sacrifice their lives for the preservation of the honor, the
integrity, and the unity of their country, and, finally, the
glorious and successful results of all these operations, we may
well doubt whether historj^ will ever contain more than an outline skeleton of

1867 he became a partner in the firm of Peckham & Tremain, and
from that day until the day of his deatli he was an active and useful
member of that firm. Mr. Tremain early displayed at the bar the
qualities of an able, learned, eloquent
and accomplished lawyer.
He
entered at once into the litigations with which his firm was connected, and scarcely a case was tried by either member of the firm at

benefit of his indefatigable industry and painstaking research.
He
very early received the confidence of his clients, and he was soon
engaged as attorney and counsel in many important litigations. He
had the entire respect and confidence of the bench, and no judge
ever listened to Mr. Tremain's statement of the facts of a case without an entire trust in the substantial accuracy thereof.

came to Ithaca, and commenced the practice of law, which he
continued until the period of his death. He was never married.
As a lawyer he was methodical, diligent and learned, and oftentimes in a case requiring great study, care and investigation, a
formidable adversary. Quiet and retired in his habits he mingled little with the world, and gave almost his entire time to
study and reflection. His illness was brief, originating in a
sudden cold, and rapidly advanced to a fatal termination. In
his death another of the links binding the present to the past
has been rudely sundered. He was a brother of Ebenezer and

They soon removed to Hancock County, 111., where they built a city called Nauvoo, and constructed another costly temple.
Here Smith combined in his own
person the chief military, municipal and ecclesiastical offices.

America and the deaUngs of God with them, was deposited in a particular place in the earth (a hill in
Manchester, Ontario Co., N. Y.),
and, with the record, two transparent stones in silver bows like spectacles, which were anciently called the Urim and Thummim, on
looking through which the golden plates would become intelligible.
On Sept. 22, 1827, the angel of the Lord placed in Smith's hands the

bound together by three rings running through the whole. Altogether

they were about 6 in. thick, and were neatly engraved on each side
with hieroglyphics in a language called the reformed Egyptian, not
then known on the earth.
From these plates Smith, sitting behind a
blanket hung across the room to keep the sacred records from profane
eyes, read off, with the aid of the stone spectacles, the 'Book of
Mormon,' or Golden Bible as he sometimes called it, to Oliver Cow-
who wrote it down as Smith read it. It was printed in 1830, in
a volume of several hundred pages.
Appended to it was a statement

and saw the plates and the engravings thereon.'
"Smith and Rigdon seem
at first to
have had vague and con-
fused ideas as to the nature and design of the church they were about
to establish.
They were both inclined to teach millenarianism, which
was beginning to attract attention in western New York
and they accordingly settled into the doctrine that the millennium
was close at hand, that the Indians were to be speedily converted,
and that America was to be the final gathering place of the saints,

He was elected a member and president of the
Utah legislature for the session of 1882, and in the
same year was president of the Utah Constitutional Convention.
After the death of President Taylor, Elder Smith resumed his position in the council of twelve apostles, but on April 7, 1889, when
Wilford Woodruff succeeded to the presidency, he was chosen as his
second counsellor. Pres. Smith is regarded with much affection and
entire confidence by the Mormon people and the church authorities,
and is considered one of the most stalwart defenders of the faith.
His public addresses are characterized by extraordinary vigor and
fervor, and he is looked upon as a tower of strength in all the affairs

prevent the rush for the doors, in which so many were killed.
Soon afterwards Miss Claxton was in the Southern Hotel in St.
Louis when it burned, and again displayed great coolness and
energy, saving her own and her brother's life, and escaping by
a burning stairway, that fell just after her foot had left the last
stage
:
After this many siiperstitious people, regarding her as
specially unlucky, avoided the theatres where she played. She
has more recently played in Charles Reade's 'Double Marriage'
step.

Miss Claxton married Isidor Lyon, a
merchant, but was subsequently divorced, and in
1876 married Charles Stevenson, a member of her company."

Preakness.

journeys some years later,

This venerable citizen died
last
Fri-
day morning at his residence in Albany, after a lingering illness. Mr.
DeWitt lived a long and useful life, and died respected and beloved
by all who knew him. He was a gentleman of great purity of life,
and of scientific tastes and attainments. To promote these pursuits,
he became one of the founders of the Albany Lyceum, and afterwards
of the Institute, in which he retained a deep interest to the day of his
death.
He was also identified with various religious enterprises, and
for more than a quarter of a century was a faithful member of the
Middle Dutch Chujxh. Inheriting a large fortune from his father,
Simeon DeWitt, for many years surveyor-general of the State, he
dispensed it liberally in the promotion of works of improvement, in
railroads and steamboats, and in testing mechanical inventions that
promised to be useful to mankind. Mr. DeWitt was sixty-eight years
of age."

Richard Varick DeWitt, senior, though never a resident of
Ithaca, used often to visit here on pleasure and business being
one of the executors of the estate of his father, Simeon DeWitt.
He was well known by the citizens here and is still well remembered by a few of the older people yet living." The Ithaca
Democrat said "The death is announced of Richard Varick
DeWitt of Albany, a grandson of Simeon DeWitt and an honored and distinguished member of the New York Society of
Cincinnati. This gentleman, whose father's name was the
same as his own, had long been identified with the insurance
business of Albany, and I believe was a vice-president or prominent officer of one of the insurance companies incorporated and

General DeWitt had three sons, only one of
whom married and left issue, and the person who has just
passed away, was his only lineal grandson. The latter leaves
one or more sons, so the family in the male line does not become extinct. The father of the deceased, Richard Varick
DeWitt, senior, was born at Albany at the beginning of the
last century.
He lived there and died there February 7, 1868,
aged 68 years. He is said to have been like his father a gentleman of varied literary accomplishments and a member of the
Albany Institute, of which institution both himself, and his
father, the surveyor-general of the State, had been among the
founders. The De Witts, father and sons, and Francis A. Bloodgood, who was closely related to them, were the original promoters and main financial support of the old Ithaca and Owego

The following in regard to their courtship and marriage

is
from
:
"The marriage took place yesterday at All Souls' Church, New
York, of Mr. Charles Marston (oldest son of Alderman John MarsJ. P., of The Oaks, Wolverhampton), and Miss Louise Isabel
Johnson, only daughter of Mr. W. G. Johnson, of Ithaca, New York.
The marriage was solemnized by the Rev. Dr. Schuyler, uncle of the

"The above announcement from the Wolverhampton News is
the sequel to a very pretty romance, and as the bride in rhe case was
born and brought up in this city, the particulars are interesting here,
especially as Mrs. Marston leaves a city full of friends for her new
home
in England.
"Five years ago last summer, she, being but a girl of fifteen, at
our High School, went with a party made up of Dr. and Mrs. North-
New York, and her mother to Europe. They landed at Glasgow, Scotland, and spent about two months doing the British Islands,

Ireland, for passengers and mails, and in the hurlyburly of departure the party noticed especially, a young man taking
leave of his home friends.
Very soon Dr. Northrup made his ac-

were all the greatest friends, so much that Dr. Northrup would not
allow him to go to a hotel, but took him to his home, and during

had a charming stay at Wolverhampton of about ten days, and then
their entertainers took them for a week to their seaside home in
Wales, not far from Liverpool, from which port they sailed.
"In the meantime young Mr. Marston seeing that Miss Johnson
was without a brother, tried to make the void good, and if there was

Leavenworth's most accomplished young
ladies, daughter of Hon. H. M. Aller, proprietor of The Press,
and Mr. Wm. F. Spencer, of the drug house of Spencer & Co.,
of this city, were on their way to attend the open air concert at
the Fort. The horse they were driving, a high lifed animal,
owned by Mr. Spencer, when about three hundred yards south
of the bridge that spans the Narrow Gauge railway track, midway between the city and Fort, from some unknown cause,
became frightened and dashed down the hill leading to the
bridge at a terrible speed. When near the bottom of the hill,
in his endeavors to control the frightened horse, Mr.
Spencer
broke the right hand line, and before he could release the strain
on the left hand line, the horse had been pulled over to the
west side of the bridge, through the wooden railing of which
he crashed, taking with him to the railway track, some twenty
feet below, the buggy and its ill-fated occupants.
This occurred
a few minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening, and no one was
present to witness the terrible plunge over the bridge. Miss
Aller was driven as rapidly as possible from the scene of the
accident to her home, where all that the combined medical

no avail, for as the clock tolled ten the angel death relieved her

from further sufferings. She never spoke a word after the accident and neither by motion or sign gave evidence of consciousness.
Her injuries were chiefly confined to the neck and
head. Her skull received a bad fracture, a portion of it being
driven into the brain, which, upon being removed by the physician, seemed to afford some relief to the sufferer, as she

He allowed his ripest thoughts to
go out beyond the present. There lived in him a grand, noble,
moral courage, and his nature craved something higher than
even a pure life, and he stood up before the congregation and
said, 'I want to be a Christian'.
Though he had not connected
himself with any church he was a Christian, and he has left his
young gentlemen schoolmates an example that may be followed
with safety. He was the peer of any of his associates intellectually, but he was ready to lay that intellect at the feet of
his God.
He had a noble ambition to cultivate the intellect
that God had given him. All that has gone down with him,
but let us hope in the life before him his highest aspirations
will be realized.
