THE OWEGO, NY. RECORD Tioga County News May 31, 1888 THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER Al TAYLOR Shoots Mel FRIES at Hartford Mills Yesterday. For some time Al TAYLOR a young married man residing near Hartford Mills in a settlement known as Michigan Hill, has suspected improper relations between his wife and a young unmarried man, named Mel FRIES, of the same place. Tuesday night his suspicions became enough of a certainty in his mind to make him thirst for the usurper's gore Between one and two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mr. Charles HYDE of the firm of HYDE & WINTERS of Owego was seated in L. A. HAY'S store, at Hartford Mills, with the proprietor and one or two others, and the subject of the wronged husband's jealousy was seated on a stool just outside the door, or rather in the door with his back to the store. A man stood outside the door with a small loaded 22 calibre rifle. Just then TAYLOR, who had been looking for FRIES, came along and grasped the rifle from the man's hand and entering the store, turned, when about ten feet from his man, and deliberately shot him in the back. The ball took effect in the left side of his back and passed through the body, coming out not far from the breast. The ball passed through the lung. The would-be murderer then went out doors, but was brought back and detained till an officer could be called from Hartford, when he was taken before a justice and committed and taken to Cortland and lodged in jail. A physician was also summoned and cared for the wounded man, who was taken to the Owego Valley House. At seven o'clock he was thought to be likely to recover, unless inflammation should set in. The Owego produce dealer who witnessed the shooting evidently did not like the smell of powder, as the last that was seen of him, he was rolling out the back door of the store. WAVERLY EXCITED. A Box of Human Bones Found in the Chemung River. A box containing the bones evidently of a male adult were found in the Chemung river here Sunday afternoon just back of the farm of J. W. STORMS, near Spanish Hill. A number of small boys who were playing in the vicinity made the discovery and notified Mr. STORMS and Ike CARPENTER who were nearby at the time. The bones were not articulated and were placed loosely in the box. A small cardboard card tacked on one end bore the address Fred Y. PAYNE, Waverly, NY. The box appears not to have been long in the water, but where it come from is a mystery. It is not believed it floated down the river but was placed in the position found , as one end was embedded in the earth. Coroner O. D. TRACY, of South Waverly, has notified the county commissioner at Wyalusing and is waiting instructions as to what disposition to make of the gristly find. There is much speculation here as to where the bones came from.. ASSIGNEES' SALE. - Personal property of the late Hiram C.

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State September 11-1874 - part 2 - Local Record. Yellow leaves are beginning to appear on the maple trees. Mrs. Almira ANDRUS of West Bethany, died on Monday last, of heart disease. Age 63. We issue the 'Batavian' a little earlier this week, that our boys may attend the fair. It's awful to think of--awful--but we haven't had a burglary in a whole week. Is civilization a failure? M.W. HAY has been, so we understand, appointed superintendent of the Stove Department at the Western New York Fair. The Union School commences with between three and four hundred pupils--a much larger number than ever before at this season of the year. The heavy rain of Saturday evening last, was truly and very welcome. Many of our farmers had just finished sowing their wheat, and the rain was just the thing wanted. + Bethany.-Rev. T.F. PARKER will discuss the temperance question at the Town Hall in this town, Tuesday eve, 22d inst. Ebenezer LINCOLN, Esq., is very ill, and fears are entertained that he will not recover. A.J. RUMSEY has a flock of 63--over 40 of them two year olds--Spanish Merinos, which sheared this year a little over 8 3/4 lbs of washed wool per head. + West Bethany.-Mr. S. MALLORY, who was taken severely ill last week, is improving. Something over 14,000 pounds of cheese from the factory here was taken away last week, at 13 cents per pound. Mr. HUME, living on the MEREDITH Place, died Monday evening after a short illness, aged 84 years. His remains were taken to Otsego county, from which place he moved last fall. The old mill here is being put in order for business, and will soon be ready to receive calls from all who may be in want of grinding. + Elba.-Fire at Pine Hill.--On Saturday last, at about 3 p.m., the Hotel owned and occupied by Wm. MOREAU was discovered........every effort was made to save and judicious efforts part of the citizens that was saved; but a flying cinder from the burning building fell in a newly made straw stack in Col. PETTIBONE's yard, and caught. This communicated to the barns and sheds of Col. PETTIBONE, from thence to the sheds belonging to the Presbyterian church. There all efforts to save the church were unavailing. The fire was arrested at that point by the persistent and strenuous exertions of the citizens. The parsonage belonging to the church, and situated about 20 feet distant, though scorched and blackened, was saved. There was insurance on the church and fixtures of about $1,800. Mr. MOREAU was insured for about $2,000. Col. PETTIBONE had some insurance, but not enough to cover his loss. The church burned had been recently repaired, at an expense of about $4,500. The parsonage was undergoing repairs at the time of the fire, and was unoccupied. + Bergen.-The disgraceful scenes alluded to in last week's paper, were occasioned by the arrival home of the Rev. T.E. BELL and wife from their wedding tour. During the evening the door of A.T. SOUTHWORTH's house, where Mr. BELL is staying, was pelted with eggs, and guns were fired, the object being to have a sort of charivari. An effort was made to arrest the perpetrators, and one of them was caught after firing several shots at him from a revolver. The young man appeared for trial on Wednesday of last week, but no one appearing against him, he was discharged. Query, who pays the costs? Our planing mill, which once presented a scene of activity, is now silent. The machinery is being taken down, preparatory to its removal to North Carolina. We regret the necessity which causes its removal. Mrs. A.C. HAMLIN and son, and Miss Florence M. HAMLIN left for New York last week Thursday. On their return Mrs. HAMLIN will leave her son at a military school at Sing Sing. Let us hear a good report from you, George. Mrs. Thomas DART was found dead in her bed last Sunday night. She had been failing for some time past. When found, she lay as one asleep, and had evidently passed away without a struggle. She had attained the ripe age of 84 years. The funeral services took place on Wednesday, and were conducted by the Rev. Wm. F. LANE. The deceased was a member of the Episcopal church. The Rev. T.F. PARKER, of Pavilion, spoke on the temperance question to a small audience in Tulley's Hall, Tuesday evening. He is a third party man. The result of a third party movement would be the defeat of the Republican party, and Bergen temperance Republicans are not ready to go into any such movement. + The best Carriage and Buggy of any discription[sic], and made of the very best material and warranted to give perfect satisfaction, can be bought at Foster's Carriage Factory in rear of the Washburn House, Batavia. + submitted by Linda C.

At Dansville, a few days since, a man named WELLINTON entered the shop of a blacksmith named Patrick RHOAN, from which he had previously been discharged. He used insulting language, and RHOAN put him out, following him to the door and striking him with a pair of heavy tongs, inflicted a fatal wound upon the skull. He was carried home, and lived but a short time. RHOAN is under arrest, and feels badly regarding the act he committed. That's what comes from giving way to passion. + submitted by Linda C.

Surprise for a girl a surprise indeed-She became a bride at a birthday dinner. Miss Violet B. CONRAD, being told of intended surprise by her fiancé, consented to act in accordance with his plans to turn tables. Capping the climax of a birthday surprise party given for her the other night in the Hotel Knickerbocker at New York, Miss Violet Blossom CONRAD, daughter of the late Major Casper H. CONRAD of the Eighth United States Infantry, turned the tables on her assembled friends by being married then and there to Charles Ridgley ELLICOTT, says the New York Herald. Their wedding ceremony was performed by the Rev. Henry M. WARREN, chaplain of the hotel, who had been invited to the birthday party as one of the personal friends of Mr. ELLICOTT. Miss CONRAD was twenty-three years old the other day. Her mother, desirous of giving her a pleasant birthday surprise, told Mrs. JENKINS, WIFE OF colonel John M. JENKINS, a few weeks ago to quietly invite twenty of Miss CONRAD's closest friends to a dinner party to be held on the night of her birthday anniversary. Strict secrecy was enjoined of every one. Mrs. JENKINS INCLUDED AMONG THOSE WHOM SHE INVITED TO THE PARTY Mr. ELLICOTT, who became secretly engaged to Miss CONRAD several months ago. Calculating that as surprises were to be the order of the evening it was better to have a great big surprise than a minor one, Mr. ELLICOTT told his fiancée of the plan on the part of her friends to give a surprise birthday dinner to her and suggested to her that they might turn the tables in a splendid manner by springing a surprise of their own on the party. This was to be the announcement of their engagement, followed immediately by their marriage. Plans were laid accordingly, and Mr. ELLICOTT asked permission of those who were arranging the "surprise" birthday dinner to bring with him "an old college mate who had just arrived in New York from abroad." The man so characterized was Dr. WARREN. At 8 o'clock on the night of the "surprise" party, in accordance with the plan, Miss CONRAD was summoned to the Hotel Knickerbocker under the pretense of attending a small informal dinner party. In the secret, she went to the hotel and upon being ushered into one of the private parlors met Mr. ELLICOTT, and her assembled friends. She simulated great surprise when showered with congratulations on her birthday and told that the dinner and gathering were in her honor. Mr. JENKINS had been let into the young couples secret a few minutes before and, with Miss CONRAD and Mr. ELLICOTT, was waiting near a door leading to the private dining room. Suddenly at a signal the door opened, and Dr. WARREN, with Albert J. FIELD as best man, walked in. Miss CONRAD and Mr. ELLICOTT joined hands, and as the others of the party looked on in amazement the ceremony was performed. After more congratulations the entire party walked out to the dining room as musicians concealed behind palms played the wedding march from "Lohengrin." Miss CONRAD, the bride, who until her marriage has lived in New York, was born at Fort Randall, S. D., where her father was in command at the time. She was known then as the daughter of the regiment and, both here brothers being captains in the army, has since her debut been a figure at the military balls in Washington. She was formally introduced into society there a few years ago at a reception given for her by Mrs. Nelson A. MILES. Among those who attended the surprise party and wedding were Major General WADE and several other army officers and their wives. Because of her rare beauty Miss CONRAD has been characterized as "the girl with the angel face" by such artists and sculptors and BLASHFIELD, Alphonse MUCHA, Daniel FRENCH, ANDERSON, and CHRISTIE. In BLASHFIELD's panel "Progress" in the statehouse at Des Moines, Ia., Miss CONRAD is represented as a triplicity of angels. Her face has been also done in marble by FRENCH in the statue symbolic of America on the customs building in New York. Her father, Major CONRAD, a here of El Caney and Santiago, died aboard the United States army transport Olivette on Aug. 15, 1898. Charles R. ELLICOTT is thirty-six years old and a son of H. William ELLICOTT of Baltimore. He owns large mining interests in the west. - - - - - - - - - - VISHION-WOLFE No date or place Judd VISHION, whose boyhood was spent in Batavia, was married in Buffalo last evening to Miss Mildred Louise WOLFE, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George R.
