The break was set by Dr. WATKINS. * * * * * PERSONAL -- Dr. A. L. GILBERT was in Dansville yesterday. His eyesight is pretty good. -- J. C. WHITEHEAD has gone to Tyrone, his early home, for a visit of several weeks. -- Frank ATEN, for some years a compositor in the Express office, left town this week for Michigan. -- A. J.

Miss Jones is worthy and efficient, and will give good satisfaction. -- C. B. WILLEY and his son Loren G. Willey are in town. We made a mistake last week in saying that C. L. Willey was here. Loren G. has grown so portly, that few of his old friends recognize him. -- Among those present at the funeral of the late Dwight WOODRUFF on Sunday were Mr. and Mrs. W. E. BIDWELL of Bath and George Harvey Bidwell of New York. The latter gentleman was publisher of the Dansville Republican in 1846-8, and is now a proofreader in the great metropolis. -- Mrs. J. W.

The remains were taken toher former home at Lima for interment. Mrs. E. G. TIFFANY of this village, a relative of the deceased, attended the funeral. * * * * * The remains of the late Dwight WOODRUFF reached Dansville from Salt Lake on Friday noon. The coffin was enclosed in a zinc lined box and the remains were well preserved. A full beard had somewhat changed the face to those who were familiar with it, and there was an expression of maturity and manliness added during the six years absence. The funeral was largely attended by friends and neighbors from the residence of parents of the deceased on Sunday at 1 o'clock. Rev. Mr. WARD made some touching remarks emphasizing the longing of nearly all persons to be brought to their early home for burial, and the satisfaction which it gave friends to care for the remains of those they loved. The singing was singularly appropriate and affecting. This is the second member of the bereaved family brought to a sudden death, James having bravely died at the front during the late war. * * * * * O. P.

When it was discovered the ladderman was injured, the driver, Frank DOYLE, brought the machine to a stop and FOX was carried into the fire house and made as comfortable as possible until the ambulance from Highland Hospital took him to that institution. At the hospital late last night it was said that FOX was suffering from a broken pelvis bone, crushed shoulder and numerous cuts and bruises. His injuries are not considered dangerous. The accident is the second that the truck has figured in with the last ten days. On the night of October 20th, while responding to an alarm of fire in Violetta street, the truck threw a tire while crossing the bridge over the Pennsylvania railroad tracks in Exchange street. Tillerman Edward GOMMENGINGER and Ladderman Thomas SULLIVAN received injuries which caused their death. Three other firemen, on the truck at the time, were hurt seriously. After the accident last night Commissioner of Public Safety Harry J. BAREHAM visited the firehouse and questioned the crew. The direct cause is said to be a wooden block which was lying on the floor in direct line with the wheel. When the wheel struck the block the wheel was wrenched from the hands of Emmet GONNAUGHTON, at the tiller, and the truck brushed against the side of the building. Battalion Chief JAYNES also conducted an investigation and his findings were the same as those of Commissioner BAREHAM. The injured man was left in care of other firemen and patrolmen from the first precinct station across the street, pending the arrival of the ambulance and the truck continued to the fire, which was of little consequence. A room on the first floor of the Osburn House, in an unknown manner and an alarm was turned in. Employees fought the blaze with hand extinguishers. Guests of the hotel were at dinner and few knew that any fire had been discovered. Milton ROBLEE, proprietor, declared the loss to be small as nothing of value was in the room. * Grand Jury To Hear Pickpocketing Charge Colored Man Charged With Taking Purse from Engineer Waives Examination After a two-hour examination in City Court yesterday afternoon, Bernard B. KNIGHT, colored, of No. 1163 Velie avenue, Detroit, charged with grand larceny, first degree, waived examination and was held for the Grand Jury. KNIGHT was arrested on November 1st on a New York Central train between Syracuse and Rochester, charged with having picked the pocket of William VOSGRAU, locomotive engineer, of No. 1163 Bailey avenue, Buffalo. The arrest was made by Charles G. PEASE, lieutenant of Police for the New York Central, who lives in Rochester, assisted by Detectives SHARP and DOCKSTATER of the Rochester police. These three with the complainant, appeared against KNIGHT. * LAUDS BIBLE LEARNING Minister at Gospel Center Says It Surpasses College Course "A knowledge of the Bible without a college course is more valuable than a college education without the Bible," said Rev. George McNEELY, pastor of Elizabeth Baptist Church, Newark, N. J., last evening at the Gospel Center. "I say this while I thoroughly believe in a university education for men and women. Everyone who has a thorough knowledge of the Bible may truly be called educated and no other learning or culture, no matter how extensive or elegant, can form a proper substitute." Mr. McNEELY also will speak to-night and to-morrow night at 7:45 o'clock at the Gospel Center. At the meeting last night there was special music under direction of Rev. Arthur G. SLAGHT, superintendent of Gospel Center, and Rev. Ralph E. STEWART. * URGE SUPPORT OF ARMY Regular Officers Address Members of Crackers and Milk Club Speakers at the meeting yesterday noon of the Crackers and Milk Club of the Rochester Ad Club were Major L. A. O'DONELL, and Major John P. BUDD, regular army officers in charge of the development of the Organized Reserve in Rochester and Vicinity. After describing the present military polley of the United States, they pointed out the difficulties of the regular army in carrying that policy into effect, because of the failure of Congress to grant adequate appropriations. An appeal was made to members of the club to use their influence in working for larger appropriations. Chester GRIFFITH was chairman of this meeting. * BURNING OF BATAVIA HONOR ROLL OPPOSED Sons of American Revolution Claim Sentiment Against Plan Batavia, Nov. 8 - The plan of the Glenn S. Loomis Post, American Legion, the burning of the honor roll of war veterans at special exercises in Austin park on Saturday, November 11th, is opposed by Genesee Chapter, Sons of the American Revolution. They consider the board of great historical value and a record which will be much more appreciated in the future than at the present time. They claim that a canvass has been made of the business men and of many World War veterans and that they only found one person in favor of burning the memorial. They claim that public opinion favors the removal of the board from its present site in the rear of the Court House to some permanent site where it can be preserved. A committee was appointed by the chapter to take the matter up with members of the legion post with the intention of saving from destruction the board. * SPLITTING IN SENECA Official Figures Reveal Cutting By Republicans Voters Waterloo, Nov. 8 - Nathan L. MILLER carried Seneca County for governor by 1,666 over Alfred E. SMITH, according to official returns compiled from figures supplied by chairmen of each of the 28 election districts. SMITH'S showing in the face of a heavy Republican vote is excelled only by that of Maynard J. FINTON, Democratic candidate for member of assembly, against George A. DOBSON, Republican. DOBSON carried the county by 1,315. The majority of 2,718 for William J. MAIER, Republican, for comptroller, was the largest of any candidate. MAIER'S complimentary vote in his home county was almost two to every one for FLEMING. Split tickets were unusually numerous, particularly in the rural sections. This is especially true in the second, fourth and fifth districts of Romulus, where SMITH received more votes than the Republican candidates, who carried the districts. Less than 9,000 votes were cast in the county, with an registration of 13,488. * INQUEST ON GIRL KILLED BY WAGON HELD AT ROMULUS Ovid, Nov. 8 - The testimony of several witnesses was taken by Coroner E. W. BOGARDUS, of Romulus, this afternoon at an inquest on the death of Catherine McDONALD, 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John McDONALD, of Ovid, who was killed when she fell from a wagon owned and driven by Fred SMITH, a farmer residing south of Ovid. One wheel of the wagon ran over the child's head, crushing it and causing death half an hour later. The accident happened in front of the home of John McKENNA in Orchard street. Mr. SMITH was driving through the street on his way to the evaporator, the testimony showed, when three children climbed onto the wagon after apples. Losing her hold, the McDONALD girl fell beneath the wheel. Mr. SMITH stopped the team and carried the child into the home of Mr. McKENNA. Dr. COLE and Dr. BOGARDUS were summoned. The child died before the arrival of the physician. This is the second child Mr. and Mrs. McDONALD have lost through accidents, one girl being drowned a few months ago. The funeral will probably be held on Friday morning. * HONEOYE FALLS OBSERVANCE Honeoye Falls, Nov. 8 - Arrangements have been made for a brief celebration of Armistice Day on Saturday, November 11th.
