Troy Daily Times Troy, Rensselaer County, NY July 17, 1860 SUICIDE OF A FORMER TROJAN GIRL A girl named Susan BAKER, inmate of a house of assignation in Cincinnati, committed suicide last Saturday, by cutting her throat with a razor.--Susan was the daughter of a well-to-do Coeymans farmer. She ran away from home to lead a life of dissipation with an Albany fisherman. In that city, she was arrested for theft, and at the police court attracted the attention of a man who paid her fine and brought her to this city, placing her in a house of evil repute on North Third street. There she became acquainted with a young man who was about moving to St. Louis, and who persuaded her to accompany him. But he tired of her, and abandoned her at Cincinnati. There again she entered into a course of public vice, pursued it for a few weeks, and then ended her miserable career by suicide. Susan was twenty years of age, and remarkably beautiful. Hers was indeed a sad, eventful story. IN A DANGEROUS CONDITION The friends of Mr. Gordon MILLIMAN, of Lansingburgh, who had his leg broken by being thrown from a wagon on North Second street, last week, fear that his injuries will result fatally. He is very much prostrated; the shattered bones do not knit together, and his advanced age is unfavorable to recovery. He sustained, also, bad hurts internally. A DRUNKEN POLICEMAN Quite a crowd was collected on Green street, above Federal, last evening by the rowdy exploits of a drunken member of the Sunday police force, who first engaged in a quarrel with a woman, and being remonstrated with, manifested an earnest desire to thrash "all creation." He was cared for. BRIEFS Wm. KEMP has been tendered the position of paymaster in Col. CARR;s staff, but has not as yet accepted it. BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees of the Fire Department held their regular quarterly meeting last evening in the Surrogate's office,--H.S. CHURCH, President in the chair. The finance committee reported $256.25 to have been received during the quarter, and the donating committee reported the amount of expenditures for donations at $225. The special committee on the subject of buying a lot in the Cemetery for the interment of firemen, reported that the same was inexpedient, and so it was resolved not to buy the lot. Mr. Wm. MADDEN moved that a committee of three be appointed with power to erect a suitable monument to the memory of the late Chief Engineer, Joseph C. TAYLOR, and that the sum of $500 be appropriated for that purpose. The resolution was adopted, and the President appointed Messrs. MADDEN, PEOBLE, and RODDY such committee. The Board then adjourned. POLICE COURT--Before Justice LANDON David MONE paid a fine of $3 for getting drunk. Thomas O'CONNOR, THOMAS, and John EAGAN, disorderly conduct; fined $5 or ten days each--sent over. Thomas DEVINE, drunkenness; fined $10 or ten days--sent over. Fanny ROCKWELL, vagrancy; promised to leave for Saratoga, and allowed to do so. Thomas WELCH, assault and battery; complainant failed to appear--discharged. Christopher DUGAN, Pat. FITZPATRICK, Pat. RUBY and others, assault and battery on John GRIFFIN; case settled.

Dr. TOOLE was called in and dressed the wound. MALONY was sent to jail. A FIGHT AND A BRIDGE BROKEN DOWN. A fight occurred at lock three, Saturday night about 12 o'clock, between the lock-tender (Patrick HORAN) and a Philadelphia boatman, in which the latter received more than the usual amount of disfiguring. What, with the nose broken in, both eyes blacked and closed, together with his face being scratched and marred up, he presented a pitiful sight. Judging from the marks of his handiwork Pat must be some on the muscle. Doctor WITBECK was aroused from out the sheets where his huge proportions lay in calm repose, got into his carriage and went to the locks where he propped up the broken bridge and otherwise mended the damaged physiognomy. FIRE About 8 o'clock on Saturday evening the dwelling-rooms over the market of Mr. WILKINSON on North Second street, above the Methodist Church, caught fire from a lamp that was overturned.

His injuries were fatal. A child of Mrs. TRACEY, a drunken woman living in Rochester, died on Saturday from drinking whiskey which she had left in a tin cup upon a shelf. When the coroner got to the house, he found the body lying upon the table, while the mother was gone to the poor-master to procure help for his burial. Such is the effect of dram-drinking. GRAND CELEBRATION AT BENNINGTON -- The preliminary meeting of the citizens of Bennington, to make preparations for the celebration of the Battle of Bennington, the anniversary of which occurs on the 16th of August, was held last evening. There was a very full attendance, and a unanimous expression of sentiment on all sides in favor of a grand celebration. A.P. LYMAN was chosen Chairman, and G.H. BURTON, Secretary. A committee of active gentlemen was appointed to arrange the details of the celebration, and to agree upon some plan by which the anniversary might be observed in a manner superior to any previous anniversary of the grand event. We have no doubt the affair will be a most extensive and happy occasion. Efforts will be made to induce a large attendance of military companies from abroad, and able and prominent speakers will be present to deliver appropriate addresses. The 16th is always a great day in Bennington; but it is intended that the celebration this year shall eclipse all former ones, and do honor to the town and to the day. Submitted by: Colleen Boose

(Rochester, NY) UNION SUN AND ADVERTISER Feb. 3, 1858 --Arrest of a Woman in Genesee County with Poisoning Her Husband and Six Children-- A correspondent of the Democrat, writing from Alabama, Genesee county, 30th, gives the following account of the investigation into a horrible poisoning case which has just come to light in that locality. Some time in July, 1856, Henry HOAG, a respectable citizen of this town died quite suddenly. About six weeks after his death a little daughter five or six years old, died after an illness of only twenty-four hours. Suspension of foul play was suspected by some at the time, but no action was taken in the case. Last spring, an infant child -- born subsequent to Mr. Hoag's death, died after a short illness. Suspicion was again aroused, but nothing was done. Last fall another child, some two years old, died under still more suspicious circumstances. A postmortem examination was had, but the chemist to whom the child's stomach was sent neglected to analyze its contents. But the community had become satisfied that the death of so many members of a family, under such circumstances, required further investigation, and the bodies of all of them were exhumed, and the stomachs of the three first, and a portion of the abdomen of the last secured, and upon analysis, arsenic was found in them all. Suspicion at once pointed to the wife and mother, as the person who administered the poison and she was arrested and is now in our county jail at Batavia, awaiting the action of the Grand Jury which is next week Since her husbands death she has been married again to a man by the name of FRISCH, who lived with her but a short time -- some difficulty having arisen between them. Some years since three other of her children died suddenly with symptoms almost precisely similar to the last ones, and it is inferred that she poisoned them also, from the fact that she confessed that she had poisoned the first one, but that she did it accidentally and through mistake. Altogether this is one of the most horrid cases on record. That a woman would poison her husband may not be incredible, but that a mother would poison deliberately, one after another, six of her own offsprings, seems too inhuman for belief. I will give no opinion of her guilt or innocence, as her case will soon be brought before the proper tribunal for investigation. *** (Note: Her second husband's name was Otto Frisch. He went to a doctor accusing Polly of trying to poison him too. The doctor gave him an antidote and he left right after for parts unknown.) submitted by Cindy Amrhein Town of Alabama Historian Genesee Co., NY ********************** Historian's Page - Alabama, NY http://www2.pcom.net/cinjod/historian/ Experience the town of Alabama in Genesee County, New York.

Troy Daily Times Troy, Rensselaer County, NY July 14, 1860 NEWS FROM OTHER COUNTIES The coroner's jury in the case of Huldah Ann MCCRANEY, at Medford, Otsego county, have rendered a verdict that she was poisoned by her step-mother, and she has been committed to jail. Mrs. MCCRANEY is a dashing woman of about 50 years, who has once been remarkably handsome. She was a witness on the inquest, and gave her testimony with great coolness. The evidence showed that she had always treated her cruelly, and that she poisoned her to death while pretending to nurse her for illness. ******* A young lady named Philothete STERLING, a daughter of Peter STERLING, of Mapletown, Montgomery county, committed suicide on the 29th of June, by hanging herself with a rope in her father's barn. She was about twenty-two years of age, and was much respected and beloved by her friends and acquaintances. For about four years past she had suffered from ill-health, and at times seemed to contemplate self-destruction.--On the morning of the occurrence of the deed she arose very early, while her sister who occupies the same room with her was yet sleeping, and succeeded in effecting her purpose before the family were aware of her absence from the house.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY September 19-1885 The Elephant "Jumbo"--Killed. Barnum's great elephant "Jumbo" was killed at St. Thomas, Ont., last Wednesday about 9 o'clock. As Jumbo and the little trick elephant, Tom Thumb, were being taken along the track on the way from the show grounds to the car to be loaded, an incoming freight train came upon them unexpectedly and caught and killed Jumbo and broke one of Tom Thumb's legs. There was a side track on the north side of the main track, which contained all of Barnum's empty cars, and on either side there was an embankment about eight or ten feet in height. When the keeper saw the train coming he tried to get Jumbo down the embankment at the south side, but Jumbo seeing no danger refused. The keeper then attempted to get him between the side track and the main line, but only partly succeeded, the locomotive coming on Jumbo just a s his fore feet had left the track, striking him in the right side and crowding him against the cars on the siding. He was carried with the engine about 100 yards. He was so tightly wedged that when he could be carried no farther it crowded the locomotive to the south side, throwing it off the track. Jumbo lived about three minutes. The animal's skin will be stuffed for a Massachusetts college and the skeleton will be presented to the National museum at Washington. ++ DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS. For the benefit of those attending the state conventions at Saratoga, excursion tickets will be sold for all trains, Sept. 19th to 23d, inclusive, good to return until Sept. 26th.

On Wednesday last Officer REYNOLDS of Elba, arrested and brought to Batavia Frank BURR, of Byron, on a warrant issued by Justice CROCKER, of the latter village, on complaint of Zeno BAKER, in which he, BURR, was charged with criminally assaulting Alta, the fourteen year old daughter of BAKER. It seems that on Friday last Mr. BAKER and his wife, went away from home on a few days visit to friends out of town. The girl was left in charge of a widow lady, a neighbor and was instructed by her parents to go daily to the house and look after affairs there, feed the poultry, etc. On Sunday evening last, the girl says, she went to the house as usual and found BURR there, by threats and intimidations he forced her to go into the house and remain there with him all night, which she did. On the return home of the girl's parents on Tuesday last she told them of the matter and how BURR had threatened to take her life if she revealed anything. Mr. BAKER's wrath was unbounded and it was with difficulty that he was prevented from wreaking summary vengeance upon the young scoundrel. His friends would not permit him to do so, however, but pursuaded him to secure the young man's arrest, which he did. BURR, who is about twenty-three years old, denies that he used any threats but admits having stayed all night with the girl. He was taken to Byron for examination Wednesday afternoon. He was returned to Batavia and placed in jail to await the action of the next Grand Jury. ++ Paris Fashions in Millinery just received and now being sold at 25 per cent below cost. J.B. & H. HEWITT. ++ DEATH OF MRS. GEORGE HOLDRIDGE. Mrs. Mary A., wife of George W. HOLDRIDGE, died suddenly at her home on Jackson street on Monday evening last, aged 48 years. On the afternoon of that day Mr. HOLDRIDGE had taken his little son out for a ride on his hack, the little fellow sitting by his father's side on the high seat in front. In some way he fell or was jolted from the seat to the ground, hurting himself badly and receiving a cut on the head, which bled profusely. The lad was taken home and as soon as his mother saw him she swooned, recovering, she swooned again, but never revived. She had been ill for a long time an was in a nervous and prostrated condition, and, being subject to heart disease, the shock received on seeing her injured child was so severe as to cause her death. The deceased was a sister of Mr. John W. SMITH, of Ellicott street, cashier of the Genesee County Bank. The husband and four children are left to mourn her untimely departure. ++ New Patterns in Carpets.--A splendid stock in Velvets, Body Brussels, Tapestry Brussels, Ingrains, Borders, Mattings, and Oil Cloths, at prices that will astonish you. J.B. & H. HEWITT. ++ A CLOSE SHAVE. An accident occurred at Portage bridge a few nights since, which came near hurling a Lehigh engine and train into the chasm below. The train was crossing at the usual speed, and when the engine had reached the center of the bridge some of the heavy machinery that connects the driving wheels broke, and striking the timber of the bridge, threw the engine over on her side, and for an instant it seemed as if the engine was about to plunge over into the gulf. Fortunately, the bridge timber broke from the weight and let the engine settle back again. The engineer and brakeman jumped off on the bridge, but the fireman could not get off. It was a close call, and those who were on the train shiver still when they think of it. ++ IN MEMORY OF JEROME A. CLARK. A meeting of the vestry of St. James' Episcopal church was held on Friday last and the following memorial of the late Jerome A. CLARK was entered upon the church records: The Rector, Senior Warden, and Vestry of this parish, desire to place on record their deep sense of loss sustained by the death of their honored associate, the Junior Warden of St. James Church, Mr. Jerome A. CLARK. In the death of Mr. CLARK, this parish has lost one of its most consistent, generous, loyal, loving members; one of the oldest communicants and most liberal contributors, and for nearly a score of years a member of this body. His memory will be long cherished, and while we bless God's Holy Name for the good example of this His servant, departed in His Faith and Fear, we remind ourselves of the added duties laid upon us and pray that when our earthly record is closed, it may be said of us as of him, "Faithful unto Death." To the family of our deceased friend and brother we offer our sincere sympathy, and hereby direct the clerk of the Vestry to send them a copy of this minute and to publish the same in the village papers.

He has charge of their Carpet Department, and will be glad to see any of his friends wanting any goods in this line. Mr. DWYER has had a large experience in the Carpet business, and can serve his friends well. ++ DARING BANK ROBBERY AT ATTICA. The most daring bank robbery that has occurred in Western New York in years was attempted in Attica on Wednesday forenoon last, the scene of the almost tragedy being at LOOMIS & SON's bank on Main street. Mr. John BARROSS, the cashier, went to work as usual on the morning above stated, but on entering the office, which is inclosed by a substantial wire railing, he neglected to secure the gate. He was alone in the bank and emerged at his desk when a man who had entered the room by an open back window, stealthily opened the wire gate, approached Mr. BARROSS, and struck him a wicked blow on the head with the knob of a heavy cane, at the same time grasping a package of bills containing $800, which he thrust into his pocket; with the other hand he drew a revolver from another pocket and cocked it. Mr. BARROSS, who had fallen to the floor under the blow, had gathered upon his hands and knees and, hearing the click of the revolver cried out in alarm "For God's sake don't shoot." However, the fellow did shoot at him but fortunately missed his mark. He then bounded toward the door. Here he was met by A.J. LORISH whom he menaced with the weapon he still held in his hand, but Mr. LORISH, nothing undaunted, closed in with the desperate man and soon had him hors du combat. Other citizens speedily arrived and soon the prisoner was securely bound with ropes, and at eleven o'clock was taken to the jail at Warsaw. He had a hardened look and a still more hardened demeanor. He would not talk and on being asked his name said "John Smith," which, of course, is fictitious. Mr. BARROSS is to be congratulated on his escape from greater injury and, perhaps, death. ++ PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Mr. C.D. DEWEY, president of the Johnston Harvester Company, is confined to his house by illness. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. W. LEAVENWORTH have returned from their wedding tour and will take up their residence in Batavia. Frank DODGSON, son of Delos L. DODGSON, of this village, accompanied his father to Ithaca on Monday last for a preparatory examination for admission to the Class in Civil Engineering in Cornell University. ++ NEW BLOCKS ON JACKSON STREET. B.D. DYE of Albion, who owns the portion of the old wooden structure on Jackson street that was occupied by Eugene DIEM as a marble shop, says the 'News,' has commenced to tear the roof off the building with a view of demolishing it and erecting a two story brick block in its place, and, it is said, Watson BULLOCK, who owns the north end of the building, expects to do likewise. Mr. DELANO, whose grocery is adjoining on the south, will carry his brick walls up another story and put in a new front as soon as Mr. DYE's building gets up high enough. These improvements will materially enhance the appearance of the street. ++ FIRE IN DARIEN. On Tuesday last the barn and some 900 bushels of wheat owned by Mrs. L. BARBER, a separator owned by Zeno GRISWOLD and a horse owned by John WALKER were destroyed by fire near North Darien. Two horses owned by Charles RUDD were also badly burned about the head. Mr. GRISWOLD and helpers were engaged in the barns, threshing the wheat when the fire broke out and, as the threshing was done by an engine it is not improbable that the fire was caused by a flying spark. The wheat will be at total loss. The barn had an insurance of $800 upon it. ++ submitted by Linda Schmidt

Troy Daily Times Troy, Rensselaer County, NY July 13, 1860 (cont) INCENDIARY FIRES -- DARING ATTEMPT TO BURN A CHURCH A most deliberate and diabolical attempt was made this morning to fire the Park Presbyterian church, Rev. Mr. ROBERTSON, pastor, which but for the timely discovery of the flames, would no doubt have been successful. No less than three different attempts were made to set the church on fire, twice in one place and once in another. The basement of the church is occupied as a Sunday School room, and a portion for the storage of such odds and ends as necessarily accumulates. The heater is also located in the basement, and in its vicinity is a pile of kindling wood. The first attempt was made about 12 o'clock. DORING's Bank was out serenading with a party of young gentlemen, and were playing in front of one of the residences on Second street, when a servant girl arose for the purpose of enjoying the music. Upon looking out of a window in the house,m she discovered a man by the basement window of the church, endeavoring to light some matches. She gave no alarm, as she supposed him to be the sexton of the church, but it is now quite evident he was then endeavoring to set the building on fire. This morning, however, at 5 o'clock, smoke was discovered issuing from the basement of the church in the corner where the kindling wood is, and efforts were at once made to extinguish the flames. This was soon accomplished with pails of water, and an examination proved that but little damage had been done to the interior of the building. The fire had evidently been struggling for life a considerable while, but fortunately did not break out until people were astir for the morning, and a timely discovery made. The whole damage to the church will not exceed $50. The object of this outrageous and cowardly act cannot be designed. Whether the attempt was made to gratify any feeling against the church or to satiate the cravings of some demon, for applying the torch and creating a conflagration, cannot be determined. The congregation is one of the most respectable in Troy; the pastor, Mr. ROBERTSON, is almost a stranger here, and one of the most courteous, kind-hearted gentlemen in the city. We can imagine no motive to injure either the congregation or the pastor, and if the design was simply to have a fire without any regard as to the place, we can only wonder at the stupidity of the incendiary in setting it where it would be so likely to be discovered very quickly, and where at least the flames would be so soon subdued. There is very little to make a fire out of in the building; and in either aspect the cause of the attempt is a mystery as yet. We hope the guilty person may be apprehended and punished.

Troy Daily News Troy, Rensselaer County, NY April 13, 1860 (cont) ANOTHER WAIF Last night about eleven o'clock, as a couple of young gentlemen were passing down Broad street, West Troy, near the United States Arsenal, their ears were saluted by the musical tones of an infant apparently near at hand. Upon looking around, they discovered a willow basket setting on the steps of Mr. DOCKER's house. On taking a peep into said basket, they observed about two yards of new white cotton flannel, as it had been torn from the piece without hemming, and under this the bright, black eyes of a beautiful babe looked up imploringly. This was too much for the susceptible hearts of our two young friends, who declared it was a pity, and took the basket with them to their boarding-house, deciding upon taking better care of the child. It was dressed in a calico frock of the size of a child of some six or eight years old. The dress had the appearance of having been lately taken from the line. The waif had no other garment on, and was evidently dressed with a view of leaving no trace of recognition. It is a girl, and promises to be the pet of the boarding house. The child is evidently about one week old. NARROW ESCAPES AT THE DRILL The enclosure around Camp Wool yesterday afternoon, was to a great degree filled up with carriages and vehicles of all descriptions, on the seats of which, and in the wagon boxes, stood from three to a dozen persons in each carriage. Mr. J.W. FULLER and party of six others were standing in a wagon, three on the top of the seat, and the others in the box of the vehicle, in order to see the drill. When the crowd began cheering, the horse suddenly started up, and the whole party were thrown violently out upon the ground, striking their heads, and two of them very narrowly escaping instant death. All were more or less injured by the fall. Had it not been for the nature of the ground and the fine growth of grass upon it, the accident would certainly have been attended with fatal results. ALARM The alarm of fire about 7 o'clock last evening, was caused by a fire-cracker lodging on the roof of Gen. ALLEN's store, corner of Congress and Fourth streets, but a few pails of water put out the flames, and the firemen did not get to work. ARREST FOR ATTEMPTED ARSON A lad named George WARD, 13 years of age, was arrested by officer RYAN this morning on a charge of attempting to set fire to the barn of Joseph SHEHAN yesterday afternoon. He was committed to jail. The lad, whose parents reside near the barn of SHEHAN, on Second street, South Troy, just below the bridge, was caught by a person who takes care of the premises, in the act of lighting some chips which he had pressed into the opening of the boards. It is supposed that this was the second attempt made to fire the premises, as nearly a bunch of matches which had been ignited and become extinguished without doing any damage, was discovered on the floor of the barn the day previous, by Mr. S. The lad, on being apprehended, remarked that he was "only going to have a little fun." As there are several frame buildings in the vicinity and his parents reside near by, it is presumed that he was ignorant of the peril he was placing them in had he not been thus timely arrested in his serious sport. POLICE COURT--Justice PARMENTER presiding. The Court was occupied nearly all the morning with a disorderly case. Amos BLOOMINGDALE complained against Thos. BAKER, Thos. COLEMAN and David BAKER, who were charged by Mr. B. with insulting and striking him on the 4th of July. Mr. BLOOMINGDALE and his witnesses testified very strongly against the prisoners, and from their testimony it was evident the boys were very bad and deserved punishment. But the defense introduced testimony so directly opposite to the evidence of the others--and proved so completely that BLOOMINGDALE began the assault,--that the Court acknowledged that for once "she did not know herself," and in order to decide it justly to both parties, fined both the complainant and the defendants $2, which they paid and departed satisfied. Some one in this case undoubtedly swore false. There was scarcely a single point in the testimony on which both sides agreed, and the case throughout was a very perplexing one. The parties all reside at the Nail Factory. Submitted by: Colleen Boose

Cruel Treatment Of A Horse Last evening, two young men called at the livery stable of Mr. DEFREEST, State street, and engaged a horse and carriage to go to Lansingburgh. They were to be back at 9 o'clock. At that time they had not returned and Mr. D. sat up until after 12 o'clock, awaiting them. But they did not return, and this morning, special officer TAPLIN found a horse and carriage standing in Fourth street, hitched to a tree. The horse had been tied there at 9 o'clock last evening, and remained out all night, gnawing away at a tree and standing very uneasily in his tether. The property belonged to Mr. DEFREEST, and it is supposed the young men, in order to avoid paying for the ride, hitched the horse where he was found, in the expectation that it would be returned to the owner sometime or other. This is a quite common practice with some parties who engage establishments at livery stables, and it is a great pity that those who are guilty of it might not be arrested and severely punished for their cruelty to the poor horse. POLICE COURT--Judge PARMENTER presiding: John F. RICHARDSON, a degenerate son of Massachusetts, was up before the Court for drunkenness. His counsel advanced the idea that Troy rum was stronger than Massachusetts whiskey, and thought that if the prisoner had been home he might have drank twice as much without becoming intoxicated. As the counsel is a native of Massachusetts, the Court thought he was a competent judge of the liqueur of both States, and accepted his argument as so conclusive as to discharge the prisoner. William DORSEY, disorderly conduct; complainant not appearing he was discharged. James PHILLIPS, drunk; resides in Saugerties; discharged. Levi MANN, drunk; fined $5 or five days--committed. John O'GRADY, drunk; resides in Waterford and is a hard working man; discharged. Francis FEILEY, petit larceny; sent to penitentiary three months. Daniel SANDS, drunk and disorderly; took the pledge for one year, and let off on promise to behave. Thomas SHANNON, Patrick KANE and Patrick RYAN; disorderly conduct; KANE discharged, SHANNON sent up for ten days, and RYAN for five. Submitted by: Colleen Boose

Troy Daily Times Troy, Rensselaer County, NY July 11, 1860 MARRIED In Brunswick, June 18th, at the Lutheran Parsonage by Rev. David KLINE, Mr. Andrew COONRADT, of Poestenkill, to Miss Permelia F. BARRINGER, of Troy. July 2d, at the same place by the same, Mr. Philip SLADE, Sen., of Pittstown, to Miss Eliza SHAVER of Brunswick. July 7th, at the same place by the same, Mr. Ruchford B. HANCOCK, of Brooklyn to Miss Mary CAWLEY, of Troy. Miss Mary DEVLIN, formerly of this city, was married on Sunday, to Edwin BOOTH, the tragedian. Mary performed for some time on the boards of the old Museum, and is no doubt known and remembered by many in this city.--Mr. BOOTH'S starring engagements this season netted him the snug little sum of $14,000, and Mary and her liege ought to live comfortably off an annual income like that. DIED Col. Samuel MCCHESNEY, of Brunswick, father of Leonard MCCHESNEY, and an old and much respected citizen of that town, died on Sunday last. A boy aged about eight years, son of Patrick SULLIVAN, while playing in a boat at the foot of Grove street, on Sunday afternoon, fell into the River and was drowned. His body has not yet been found. LEG BROKEN Last evening, as Mr. Gordon MILLIMAN, of Lansingburgh, was driving through Federal street, the bolt of the thills gave out, and the horse becoming frightened, started on a run. Mr. M. jumped out, but in doing so his foot caught in such a way that he was thrown with sufficient force to break one of his legs badly. He was taken into MOORE & GREGORY's store, and was promptly attended by Dr. THOMAS, of Sandlake, who happened to be close at hand. In the course of an hour, he was placed in a carriage and taken home. LETTER TO EDITOR Mr. Editor: The job of erecting the frame of an old building, a part of which fell, while the pieces of roof were being set up, was not under the supervision of John ARCHIBALD 2d, nor did the first article so indicate; but it was being erected under, and by the special direction and supervision of Mr. John ARCHIBALD, who is the owner of the house. The man was sent for by Mr. ARCHIBALD,--he deeming the building sufficiently safe to put the roof on,--and directed every move in the matter. I was not present any of the time. Dexter MOODY. MEDICAL SOCIETY The semi-annual meeting of the Rensselaer County Medical Society was held in the Court House at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the following gentlemen were elected members: Dr. Alex H. HULL, of Petersburgh; Dr. W. AKIN, of Troy; Dr. BENEDICT, of Buskirk's Bridge. EXAMINED AND HELD Yesterday afternoon, a German named Baltzer HOUSER was examined and held by Justice PARMENTER on charge of assault with intent to commit rape upon the person of Jane COONRADT, a girl fifteen years of age. The parties reside in Brunswick, near Milville, and the offense was committed on Saturday last. HOUSER was admitted to bail in the sum of $1000 to answer the charge at the next Court of Sessions. Gotlieb WINDERMANTLE and Abraham VAN ALSTYNE became his bondsmen. PERSONAL Rev. Dr. KENNEDY proposes to spend his August 'vacation' fishing and ruralizing among the Adirondacks. S.A. DOUGLAS and lady have engaged rooms at the United States, Saratoga, and are expected there tomorrow. Rev. E.T. CHAPMAN, the new Assistant Rector of St. Paul's Church, will commence his services next Sunday. Mr. C. has but recently been ordained to the ministry. The brush factory of Jas. MCQUIDE caught fire on Friday, from a pan of pitch boiling over. The kettle was speedily thrown out and the fire extinguished. THE HOLMES CASE Our citizens will remember that some months since Wm. HOLMES, then a merchant here, suddenly left town, and deserting his wife, removed with his children to Chicago. The wife instituted legal proceedings for the recovery of the children, and obtained a judgment in her favor. The children were taken with her to Brooklyn. The father has since petitioned for the custody of the children, and Judge LEONARD, of the Supreme Court of New York, has just made a decision in the matter.--The Judge makes provisions for the education of the children at the father's expense, and gives the youngest one, Ivah, into the custody of the mother. Both parties are to have the privilege of visiting the children, though neither it would appear are to have full control of them. The Judge condemns the course of the HOLMES quite severely. INQUEST The evidence in the WALTON murder inquest yesterday, was interesting. Two persons were examined who saw Mr. WALTON shot, and one who saw the second murder, but neither could identify either of the JEFFERDS boys as the murderer. Mrs. WALTON was recalled, and with her clear, penetrating voice, told the story of her wrongs, in a tone of unsubdued passion. She testified to many threats against the life of Mr. WALTON, which will make much additional work for the Coroner. When the inquest had been adjourned, she met PASCALL on her way out and stood, fixing upon him a look of sad rebuke for some moments. He looked back defiantly. She shook her head sorrowfully, and passing on, said, "Come, my children;" the two younger answered her call; the elder returned to prison. POLICE COURT--Judge PARMENTER presiding: John LEACH was complained of by his wife Bridget for assault and battery, and case put off till the 21st inst. at 10 A.M. Michael KELLY committed an assault and battery on Francis KENNEDY, and Justice PARMENTER sentenced him to pay a find of $10 or twenty days in jail. He paid his fine. Sarah SPICER, as is her usual custom, got very drunk; in this condition she was found on the dock and lodged in jail. Not having an X with her this morning, she went over for ten days. John and Mary DONOVAN were charged with having on the 30th ult., grievously assaulted and beaten Catherine QUIRK, to which they plead not guilty. The case was in progress at noon, and as there is about ten or a dozen witnesses in the case, it will probably occupy the attention of the Court the entire day. Submitted by: Colleen Boose

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State December 3-1898 PUT OUT OF SIGHT FOR THE WINTER. Robert BOYD was arraigned in Police court yesterday afternoon, having been arrested by Officer GRIFFIS on Main street on the charge of public intoxication. He pleaded guilty and asked that sentence be suspended, stating that his sister had agreed to place him in a sanitarium in New York and he was waiting for pay day to come around so that money might be secured from his parents to send him there. Police Justice WOODWARD was relentless, as BOYD is an old offender, and imposed a sentence of six months in the E.C.P. ++ ROBINSON-JORDAN. Corfu.--Frank N. ROBINSON and Cora B. JORDAN, both of Wayland, Steuben county, were united in marriage by the Rev. Eugene SOUTHWICK at the residence of E.W. TONCRAY yesterday afternoon.

It is expected that LAUGHLIN will be buried in St. Joseph's cemetery, where his wife's body lies. ++ BURNING OF A FARM BARN. A barn on the Edward NICHOLS farm, next to Wolcott VANDEBOGART's, about five miles south of Batavia, was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon. The place is occupied by Christopher SHUG. The property belongs to the two sons of the late Mrs. Catherine NICHOLS. There were two barns on the place, each insured with J.C. HOLMES for $400. ++ SKATING ABOVE THE DAM. There is skating on the creek above the dam. The ice, while not any too thick,, is said to be safe enough to skate on; the element of danger being strong enough to make the sport interesting. It is wise, however, to keep off the ice. Yesterday afternoon fully sixty people were on the creek. ++ GOULD & BONSTEEL have just received another supply of Peanut Brittle. Everyone says it is the best candy in town. + COON-DELBRIDGE SUIT ADJOURNED. William H. COON's action against Charles DELBRIDGE, to recover $70 for reporting the BENHAM trial as the defendant's substitute, came up before Justice DUNHAM yesterday afternoon.

WASHBURN. The matter was finally adjourned until Monday. ++ TALK OF A FOOTBALL LEAGUE. A new football scheme is on for next season. Some time this month a meeting will be held in North Tonawanda of the managers of the elevens of Dunkirk, the Twenty-fifth Separate company of Tonawanda, Lancaster, Batavia, All Buffalo, Company C of Bradford, and the Erie Athletic Club, and a league will be formed.
