JUNE 6, 1900 Page 6 THREATENED TO KILL HIS SWEETHEART Strange Conduct of a Mad Young Lover. Fired Several Shots at a Girl Because She Refused to Marry Him — Threatened Suicide. Once He Tried to Take His Own Life by Shooting — Sent to the Penitentiary for Thirty Days. If William HOUGH, 19 years of age, who was sent to the penitentiary in the police court to-day, for a term of thirty days, for annoying 18-year-old Annie KNORR, is not taken in charge by the authorities or some one else, he may inflict bodily harm on himself or the girl, for he has already attempted suicide, and has several times threatened to kill the girl and then end his own existence because she has refused to marry him. He has fired shots at her on more than one occasion, and one night after another young man had accompanied her to her home, HOUGH, who had followed her and hid in a yard next to the home of Miss KNORR, jumped the fence and rushed upon her as the other young man left her and holding a revolver to her face, told her that she was about to die. She screamed for her mother, and when the latter came out the youthful lover fled. A few nights previous he fired two shots at her as she was on her way to a party , but neither of the shots struck her. On another occasion, when she was at one of the parks, he displayed two revolvers and threatened to kill her. On the 20th instant he called her vile names, and it was for this offense that he was sent to the penitentiary for thirty days by Judge WHITE in the police court to-day. It was a year ago that the youth attempted to take his life. He had previously threatened to commit suicide because a girl with whom he was infatuated at that time had refused to marry him. It was while Miss KNORR was on the stand in police court to-day that she related the circumstances in connection with his dire threats and his attempts on her life. She said that he had made so many attempts to kill her and had threatened to fill her so many times that "she had been obliged to keep company with him at times to keep her courage up." Miss KNORR, who is a pretty girl with light hair, told her story in a manner that showed that she was in fear of the young man. She said that she had been annoyed by him to such an extent that she finally caused his arrest for the purpose of protecting herself. She said that her home was at 482 Oak street, and as his home was 51 on the same street she naturally met him, and at his request had accompanied him to one or two parties. He soon began to make threats against her because she had refused to marry him and had followed her on different occasions and called her names. One night while she was on her way to a party she said he fired two shots at her, and recently, when she was on her way home from a party, in company with a young man, he followed her, and hiding in the yard next to where she lives he waited till the young man, who was with her left and then as she was about to go into the house he jumped over the fence between the lots, and rushing up to her, he held a revolver close to her face and threatened to shoot her. He said that he would end it all by killing her and then killing himself. She screamed and her mother came out, whereupon the fiery young lover fled. On one occasion, the young woman said, she was at one of the parks, and there she was confronted by HOUGH who with a big revolver in either hand pointed the weapons at her and threatened to shoot her. It was only through interference on the part of others that her life was saved. On the night of the 30th of May she said that he followed her and called her vile names. William HOLTSCHER and Frank NOELTER, who are friends of the young lady ----- (MISSING PART OF ARTICLE) ----- man who shot him was his rival in a race for the affections of a young woman. He said he did not know his rival's name but had seen him. The man had once, he said, tried to stab him. After he related the story the officers told him they did not believe him and he soon weakened and confessed that there was no truth in the story, but that he had shot himself because the girl he loved had jilted him. Later the police learned that he had gone to his home early in the evening an displaying a revolver had threatened to shoot himself. No attention was paid to him as it was not thought that he was in earnest. Upon being informed of the real facts of the shooting Capt. BAIRD communicated with the hospital authorities, and learning that it would do no harm to remove the youth to the police station, ordered him placed under arrest and he was accordingly taken to the police station in the patrol wagon. The young man recovered from his injury and was subsequently discharged from custody. Since then he has, according to Miss KNORR's story, persecuted her and several times threatened and attempted to kill her. FIRE IN SHOE FACTORY. Gas Escaping from an Ironing Machine Became Ignited — Young Lady Employee Slightly Injured. A fire occurred in the Armstrong & Co. shoe factory at 155 Exchange street at 2:30 o'clock, causing no little excitement among the employees of the factory and injuries to one of the young ladies in the factory. The fire started from an ironing machine on the third floor. The machine was about in the middle of the room and was heated by gas. What caused the gas to escape and become ignited is not known. It puffed out suddenly and blazed up to the ceiling, causing the automatic fire extinguisher to open. The water soon put out the blaze. Miss Rhoda WILSON, who was near the machine at the time, was burned about the hands. Her apron was also burned and she had a narrow escape from serious injury. None of the girls employed in the department lost their presence of mind and consequently there were no accidents except the one mentioned. Several officers who were in the police station next south of the shoe factory ran to the scene. Officer STEIN telephoned from the factory for chemical 1. Its services were not required, however, as the automatic apparatus had put out the fire. It was necessary to get the Protectives to protect the goods, however, till the place for shutting off the water in the building could be found. The damage to goods by the water will be considerable. ROBBED OF HER JEWELRY. Five Valuable Rings and Gold Watch Stolen — One of the Supposed Thieves Under Arrest A young woman, arrested under the name of Belle McGUIRE, but who when arraigned in police court on a charge of drunkenness said that her name was Ellen LA RUE and that she was a servant by occupation, was paroled. She is the young woman for whom the police were looking for a couple of days, as she had been robbed of five rings and a gold watch by several young men who had been drinking with her. She was found on Oak street by Officer J.J. LYNCH last night and was drunk when he found her, so this charge was preferred against her. She made affidavits in regard to the theft of her jewelry to-day and showed the injuries made to her fingers when the rings were ripped off. Charles B. GUYON, who is thought to have had some connection with the theft, is now in jail. He was arrested by Officers MONAGHAN and RAGAN Monday night while offering for sale on Front street two of the stolen rings and the watch. He denied that he committed the theft, but admitted that he had been in company with the woman. He blamed the theft on another man who was in her company. JUNE 6, 1900 Page 7 WILLIAM H. MOTT.

GENESEO, June 5. — George NOBLES and Jane NOBLES of Leicester, indicted for outraging public decency in permitting a criminal assault upon their daughter, aged 13 years, were arraigned for trial in County Court before Judge ROBINSON here yesterday. The defendants were tried separately, an indictment having been recorded against each of them. The trial jury before whom the evidence was brought out returned a verdict of guilty and a recommendation for mercy. After a short deliberation Judge ROBINSON pronounced the sentence of the court in the case of Mrs. NOBLES imprisonment in the Livingston County Jail for fifty-nine days. The defendant, George NOBLES, arraigned immediately after the conclusion of this case, pleaded guilty to the charge against him and received a sentence of imprisonment in the Monroe County Penitentiary for a term of four months.

The Trouble Arose Because Husband Brought Home Rye Instead of White Bread. An Aged Couple Married Less Than a Year Have Serious Differences — Case in Police Court. Charles and Mary WAGNER, who were married less than a years ago, and have been living at 208 West Maple street, are already having serious difficulties, although they are both old enough to know better, the husband being 65 and the wife, who was a widow with several married children when she married WAGNER, about 63. About six weeks ago the wife had the husband arrested on a charge of assault and he was discharged. At that time an effort was made on the part of attorneys for the wife to get the husband to give Mrs. WAGNER a certain amount of money on condition that they live apart. The husband refused to consent to this proposition and they have continued till the present time to live together, although, according to the stories of both told in the police court to-day, when his wife was arraigned in court on a charge of assault in the third degree by giving her husband a whack on the head with a stewpan, life has been anything but pleasant in their home. Several times cries of murder have issued from the house at late hours of the night and the neighbors have been aroused by them. As Mr. WAGNER always had the reputation in the neighborhood of being a respectable and law-abiding citizen and the wife was equally as much respected, it was a great surprise to the neighbors when the troubles began between the couple. The neighbors made no attempt to interfere in any of these somewhat noisy spats between the newly married old couple. The latest trouble they had started last Sunday morning. It appears that last Saturday night WAGNER went to a bakery to get some supplies for Sunday. He took home a loaf of rye bread and a dozen rolls. These he left on the kitchen table and on Sunday morning when his wife saw the rye bread she became angry telling her husband that he should have purchased white bread. In vain the husband explained that by the time he reached the bakery all of the white bread was gone and he was obliged to take rye bread. The wife taking the loaf of bread and rolls ran out into the yard and called loudly to the neighbors to witness what her husband proposed to feed her with during the day. The neighbors looked on and grinned and the wife returning to the house berated her husband for being so thoughtless as to buy rye instead of white bread. The husband tried again to explain, according to his story told to-day and the only satisfaction he got was a command from his wife to keep quiet. He did not subside quick enough it appears and she picked up a stewpan and giving her husband a whack on the head with it knocked him into a corner of the dining room. Then apparently to make it appear that she was the one being abused and assaulted she opened a window and called murder several times. Going outside later she gave the neighbors another invitation to come and see how poorly her husband had provided for her. Soon she left the house and remained away all day. When the husband prepared to go to his room to retire for the night he found that a lamp that he was accustomed to use had been taken away from the place where he left it and he went to his wife's room to see if it was there. As WAGNER entered the room the wife, he says, jumped out of bed and raising a window called murder several times and aroused the entire neighborhood. The husband declares that on one occasion during their brief married life his wife struck him with a broom stick. He declares that he is afraid that the woman will seriously injure him and feels that his life is in danger while she is in the house. Mrs. WAGNER has an entirely different story to tell. She declares that her husband has repeatedly assaulted her and that she is in danger of being assaulted almost any time. She would leave the house, she says, but has no other place to go. WAGNER has considerable property in the neighborhood and the couple live in a handsome residence. It was decided to put the case over till Thursday and although the husband objected strongly to his wife being released she was released to appear at that time after the court had warned her to behave in the meantime. FACTORS CHARGED WITH CONVERSION Unusual Action Has Been Brought Against FERRIN Brothers. Willis N. BRITTON, of Greece, Alleges That Money Due Him Has Been Withheld. This is Firmly Denied by FERRIN Brothers, Who Claim That BRITTON Owes Them Money. The law relating to factors, or commission merchants, as they are more usually known, is being tested in an action brought by Willis N. BRITTON against Charles J. FERRIN and his brother. The suit was placed on trial before Justice DAVY and a jury in Supreme Court this forenoon. Nelson E. SPENCER appears for FERRIN Brothers and John DESMOND for the plaintiff. Mr. SPENCER made a very clever argument in behalf of his clients. He rehearsed the law relating to commission merchants from start to finish, and gave some very interesting facts relating thereto. Mr. DESMOND opposed Mr. SPENCER's arguments. The action is brought to recover $742.77 which Mr. BRITTON claims that FERRIN Brothers have in their possession, and insofar as the defendants have not paid over this sum to Mr. BRITTON they are charged with conversion. It is a nice point of law to determine whether this money really belongs to Mr. BRITTON or FERRIN Brothers, and the jury will have an opportunity to decide the question. The complaint states that beginning with November 25, 1895, the plaintiff BRITTON furnished apples and onions to the defendants, three carloads in all. The produce was shipped to Buffalo, where FERRIN Brothers are in business. Their Rochester office is in the Wilder building and they are well known and responsible business men of this city. The produce taken in commission by FERRIN Brothers from BRITTON was worth $999.35. Mr. BRITTON alleges that he received $256.63 in cash, but that the balance has been withheld by the defendants. Mr. BRITTON was placed upon the stand by Attorney DESOMND, and he told of the transaction. He said that a Mr. SIMS, who has charge of the defendant's business in Buffalo, told him that it was not "a fair deal," but he had to carry out the orders of C.J. FERRIN. Mr. BRITTON was the only witness sworn for the plaintiff, and Mr. DESMOND promptly rested his case. Mr. SPENCER then moved to have the complaint dismissed, saying that the action is not one in tort, the defendant having made an accounting. He, therefore, held that it was a simple action on a contract. He maintained that the action should fail because the allegations had not been proven. Justice DAVY denied Mr. SPENCER's motion, and the defendants proceeded with their case. They admitted that they got the produce from Mr. BRITTON to sell on commission, but they denied that they acted in a fiduciary capacity. COSTS STRICKEN OUT Judge Sutherland Resettles an Order Made in a Webster Law Suit. H.S. ABBOTT of Webster, will not be required to pay the costs of an appeal from a judgment granted in Justice's court in that village. Judge SUTHERLAND made an order to that effect this forenoon. Some time ago Mr. ABBOTT brought an action to recover possession of a heifer from Gottlieb HOCKENBERGER of Webster, and the justice of the peace of that village decided in ABBOTT's favor. HOCKENBERGER appealed, and Judge SUTHERLAND set the judgment aside on the ground that the justice of the peace had gone into the jury room unknown to the defendant and answered a question. In that order Judge Sutherland gave the appellant costs. That part of the previous decision is now stricken out and HOCKENBERGER gets his new trial, but without costs. SEVERAL WHEELS STOLEN.

In Spite of the Fact That His Wife Has Legal Separation from Him He Has Repeatedly Annoyed Her. Convicted in the Police Court and Sentenced to the Penitentiary by Judge WHITE. William KEHOE was convicted in the Police Court to-day of brutally beating his wife and was sentenced by Judge WHITE to serve sixty days in the penitentiary. The assault committed by KEHOE was a particularly brutal one. The couple have been separated for sometime and the wife is now endeavoring to get a legal separation from her husband. It is not the first time that KEHOE has been sent to the penitentiary. When they were living together he frequently assaulted her and many a time the police were called to the home of the family to protect the woman from her husband. Mrs. Mary KEHOE has, since the separation, been living at 62 Berlin street and her husband has been boarding on Brown street. On more than one occasion he has gone to the home of his wife and annoyed her and whenever he could succeed in getting into the house he has assaulted her in a most brutal manner. Last Friday night while KEHOE was drunk he went to the home of his wife and before she had time to lock the door and prevent him entering he succeeded in getting in and he at once attacked her. She tried to get away from him, but he is a powerful and athletic man and she failed to escape from his grasp until he had dragged her through one of the rooms by the hair. The woman screamed for help, but if any of the neighbors heard her they were afraid to go to her assistance, knowing the character of KEHOE and fearing that he would attack them, should they endeavor to protect the woman. Mrs. KEHOE, however, finally managed to escape from her husband and she ran screaming into the street. The children were obliged to flee from the home to escape the wrath of KEHOE. The latter then had full possession of the house and he proceeded to smash much of the furniture. Before he attacked his wife in the first place he threatened to kill her and when he caught her she feared that he intended from his actions to carry out his threat and she considered that she was particularly lucky in escaping from him. After holding the fort at the house for some time and threatening to kill anyone who tried to enter he concluded that he had had sufficient amusement for one night and he left the house and went to the place where he boarded. The following day Mrs. KEHOE called at police headquarters and swore out a warrant for the arrest of her husband. It was served on him on Saturday afternoon by Officers STEIN and MURRAY. After hearing the testimony in the case to-day Judge WHITE was about to pronounce sentence when KEHOE made a plea for mercy and said that he would promise to remain away from his wife if he were released. Patrick DOBSON, who appeared for the prosecution in the case, stated to the court that KEHOE's actions in the past had demonstrated the fact that he is a dangerous man and that he should be sent to the penitentiary to show him that such actions as he had indulged in could not be tolerated. Judge WHITE then sentenced him to serve sixty days in the penitentiary. SHOT IN THE LEG. Mrs. NOTHAFT Accidentally Wounded at Her Home.

The Homeopathic Hospital ambulance was called and the woman taken to that institution. The bullet was imbedded in the (fl)esh and yesterday an X-ray photograph of the limb was taken and its location discovered. It was removed this morning. The patient is doing well and no bad results are feared from the accident. Submitted by Sylvia Myers Olson

The following list of old citizens is, I think, in every case correct, as I had nearly all the dates from them personally:-- Libbeaus ALLEN, Batavia, 1793 Deacon Ezekiel HACKLEY, Batavia, 1794 Uriah NORTON, Elba, 1794 Sylvester WILLIS, Oakfield, 1796 Peter RAPPELYE, Alabama, 1796 Joseph LUND, Alabama, 1797 Aaron LANCKTON, Alabama, 1799 Daniel HOSSELKUS, Oakfield, 1799. Noah KELSEY, Batavia, 1799 E.J. PATTIBONE, Elba, 1799 John THOMPSON, Batavia, 1801 Geo. COLE, Batavia, 1801 Thomas R. WOLCOTT, Alabama, 1802 Sylvester BROOKS, Oakfield, 1802 Thomas J. KENNEDY, Oakfield, 1804 Barnum BLISS, Oakfield, 1805 Loren RATHBONE, Oakfield, 1806 C.P. TURNER, Batavia, 1806 Wm. C. McCRILLIS, Oakfield, 1806 Otis L. FREEMAN, Paw Paw, Mich., 1806 J.J. SMITH, Oakfield, 1806 Marcus L. BABCOCK, Batavia, 1807 Wm. HAIGHT, Oakfield, 1808 Abner DODGE, Oakfield, 1808 Parley V. INGALSBE, Oakfield, 1810 Joseph FIELD, Oakfield, 1810 Daniel T. GRIFFIN, Oakfield, 1811 Wm. CRAFT, Elba, 1811 Alfred UNDERHILL, Oakfield, 1811 Wm. N. McINTYRE, Oshkosh, Wis., 1818 Oliver ROOT, Oakfield, 1818 Wm. ALLEN, Batavia, 1819 Norris BURR, Batavia, 1819 Wm. C. DUNLAP, Oakfield, 1820 Matthew McGUIRE, Oakfield, 1820 Isaiah OLCOTT, Oakfield, 1820 Some well known citizens may be omitted in this list. Mr. Sylvester WILLIS mentioned above, is the oldest ex-Justice in the State. He received his commission from Gov. Daniel TOMPKINS, and council in 1820 he is also the only one living in this vicinity who saw the "three THAYERS" hung in Buffalo, May 17, 1825. The oldest married couple is Deacon HACKLEY and wife, married in 1817. The oldest resident is Mrs. Holland FULLER, who has resided in the town seventy-three years. The oldest person in town is Mrs. Margaret KIERSTED, born in 1790, and living with her nephew, John EIGHMY on the town line road. ++ Professor SILLIMAN of Yale college, recently made a trip over the West Shore railway to Syracuse, and on reaching his destination thus enthusiastically wrote to the New York 'Commercial Advertiser.' "No more delightful excursion at this season of the year can be found within a day of New York than the ride over the West Shore railroad to Syracuse. The views on the Hudson and to the valley of Weehawken, from the moment of leaving Jersey City, are full of novel interest. The whole surroundings are novel. The geology is also of interest, shaping the features of the country in harmony with the character of the trassics and stones in the lower portion of the valley. The palisades of trap, with their castellated columnar fronts, which form so conspicuous a feature from the east shore of the Hudson, are not seen from the road built on the west shore, which runs along the sloping back of his old volcanic dyke, and no suggestion of its remarkable frontage is to be seen. The views of the town and villa sites of the east shore, which we now enjoy from the new standpoint, are full of interest. The rapid whirl of the swift-moving train soon leaves the palisades behind, and a plunge into one and then another tunnel shuts out the moving panorama to open new views of a strangely contrasted character--the lofty ranges about West Point, the noble heads of the Highlands, with Anthony's nose and the lake-like enclosure of the beautiful river, containing features of grandeur; with the slow-moving fleets of "tows" or the swift flight of a graceful yacht united to keep the interest of the traveler constantly awake. The Hudson river slates, the beds of impure limestone explored for the famous Rosendale cement, and above them the quarries of the flags of Roudout and Coxsackie, suggest the resources of this region for a varied and permanent commerce, to increase with the circulation of a constantly growing country. Everywhere one is impressed by the thorough and excellent construction of the West Shore railroad. The roadbed is perfection, and al the stations are marked by a liberal good taste which commands our admiration. Branching off for Albany and Troy, as before for the Catskills, the detached cars still leave the west-bound trains of ample dimentions, as it leads us up the charming valley of the Mohawk, fertile, with heavy hay crops, now gathering, and the corn, which, sadly withered by the drought in the lower country, stands laughing in the July sun, drinking succulence from the rich alluvial soil. We are provided with a full supply of literature, but the moving panorama, passing before us, was a more potent charm even than the August 'Harper' and 'Century,' beautiful as these are. The lovely river, fringed with golden yellow willow, lay in silvery brilliancy, with its graceful curves beside the rigid lines of the Erie canal, bearing fleets of heavily laden barges, and on its shores patient animals moving steadily along. It was a striking contrast to the noisy whirl of the trains on the two great railways, often within pistol shot of each other. We are amused to se the easy-going drivers sitting sleepily in a sulky, at the horses' heels, realizing the dream of the new recruit who wished to go to the war in his gig. And so the day passes most delightfully. ++ SUDDEN DEATH IN LE ROY. The 'Gazette' states that early Saturday morning Messrs. David CAREY and Christian SMITH, of Carey's Mills, were surprised to find the lifeless body of Mr. Edward GILBERT leaning face downward over a fence in such a way that only his toes touched the ground. He left his house on the evening before in usual health, and started for a stroll, as was is custom. It is thought that he was attacked by dizziness or something of the sort, and falling against the fence was unable to regain a standing position. Coroner SKINNER decided that an inquest was not necessary, he believing that his position was such as to cause strangulation. Mr. GILBERT was about 80 years of age, and one of the pioneer residents of the county. ++ continued... Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 23-1884 part 2 of 2 THE STATE FAIR. The work of fitting up the grounds and buildings for the state fair at Elmira is being rapidly carried forward. The grounds there are the property of the state fair association, which was chartered 44 years ago. The fair is under the supervision of the general manager, James GEDDES, of Syracuse. The meeting this year will be on September 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. For the first time in the history of the association, parts of two weeks will be taken. The object is to extend the time of the fair should be the first few weeks prove unfavorable and also allow exhibitors to reach home with their property, after the close of the exhibit, before Sunday. It is a new experiment, but it is expected to work advantageously. ++ THE GENESEE COUNTY FAIR. To the people of Genesee county and our friends in the surrounding counties: We, the managers of the Genesee County Agricultural Society being encouraged by the very liberal patronage received last year, have determined to make the exhibition of the fall of 1884 the most complete ever held in Batavia. Our premium list has been carefully revised, premiums increased and eight new classes added to the list. We have solicited and obtained valuable suggestions from the enterprising farmers and exhibitors in this vicinity as well as in other counties. Great care has been taken in securing judges. We have aimed to select none by fair-minded and honest men--men who are acquainted with the special departments that come under their care. In the way of entertainment we will say that never, since the society has been organized, has there been such a varied program. At great expense we have secured the services of the world-renowned lady aeronaut and aerial gymnast, Madam Lowanda, who will make one of her wonderful ascensions, rising to the height of from one to two miles and then sailing away until lost to sight. No one should miss this one chance of a life time. Bring the children and they will remember it in after years as one of the most wonderful sights they ever witnessed. This ascension will take place rain or shine. Something never seen by any one in this county will be fifty to sixty bicycles in parade. In the first race four prizes will be offered; in the second, two prizes, and in the third, or the "green" race, as the boys call it, there will be at least twenty-five bicycles. In horse racing there will be running, trotting, and hurdle jumping. See large bills for particulars. Special premiums will be offered, for the handsomest baby in the county, for the best lady driver and for the best lady rider. Many other attractions are offered for which please see small bills. In conclusion we say come, and bring your families, and ask your neighbors to come. Remember to bring the best you have for exhibition, so that you will not have to go home and say, "I could have shown a better article." This is your fair, let it be the best, as well as the largest, ever seen in Batavia. John McKENZIE, Sec. ++ DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ATTICA. The bright light seen last evening about nine o'clock, south of Batavia, was the burning of the fine barns of F.C. STEVENS, just east of the village of Attica. A valuable imported Holstein bull and four calves of the same blood were lost. The origin of the fire is unknown. It was with great difficulty that Mr. S's fine residence was saved, as little water was available. ++ POLE RAISING IN DARIEN. There was a very large gathering of the Democracy of Darien and adjoining towns assembled at the Centre, to raise a Cleveland and Hendricks' pole. The Cowlesville cornet band was in attendance, and with a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether, the stately hickory rose to its position, and now floats a fine Cleveland and Hendricks streamer. Immediately after the work of raising the pole was completed an organization was effected by the choice of Rd. R. LOSEE as chairman, with D. VANANKEN secretary. Rousing speeches were made by M.H. PECK, Jr., and R.L. KINSEY,of Batavia, P.A. MATTISON and Jas. A. ALLEN, of Buffalo. In the evening a large Cleveland and Hendricks club was formed, consisting of over one hundred members, and was organized with the choice of the following officers: President-Barnum HARNDEN Vice-Presidents-Dr. E.A. PHILLIPS and H.C. TIFFANY Secretary and Treasurer-Dwight VANOCKER Executive Committee-Fred SCHRADER, Frank CARTER, Dallas SUMNER, C.S. PETTIBONE, J.H. SUTHERLAND, Nicholas GARRIGAN, R.R. LOSEE, and A.M. ?ODGE. ++ THE "NEXT" HEARD FROM. The hunt for tall stalks of corn has brought forth the "boss" stalk by Simon CREHAN, who works the "Otis Farm." On Saturday he brought a stalk of eight-rowed yellow corn to our office that measured 11 ft. 7 in height (not 12 feet as reported in the 'News.') Mr. CREHAN has two acres of this prime corn, the seed being raised by Walter WARE last year, which must have ripened remarkably well considering it was such a poor corn year.--Next! ++ THE HOT WAVE! Reports from Troy on Monday last state that it was the hottest day of the season. At Eagle Bridge the thermometer reached 105 degrees in the shade. Apples were baked in the sun. In New England and part of Canada the heat was intense. ++ Look at our line of Dress Ginghams at 6 1/2 c., and Prints in good styles at 5c. a yd. R.O. HOLDEN & Son. ++ NEW MILLINERY AND FANCY GOODS STORE. Mr. Lee SCHWARTZ, from New York, informs us that he has leased the store corner Main and Exchange place, adjoining VOLZ' hardware store, and will open the same with a large and new stock of seasonable and most fashionable styles of millinery and fancy goods, etc., the latter part of September, or sooner if the improvements in the store are perfected. Further announcement of the opening will appear in due season. ++ CLEVELAND CLUB AT DAW'S CORNERS. On Tuesday evening about thirty Democrats met at the residence of A.D. WALDO, Daws' Corners, and organize a Cleveland and Hendricks campaign club, with the following officers: President, A.D. WALDO Vice-President-Wm. SNYDER Captain-Robert LAVIS 1st Lieutenant-Michael DOWNEY 2d Lieutenant-J.H. KELLOGG The "unterrified" Democracy of Daw's Corners will give a good account of themselves during the campaign and on election day. ++ FAMILY BOARDING & DAY SCHOOL. The Fall Term of this School will open Monday, September 1st, and continue 13 weeks. Miss Emily G. THRALL, Principal.. ++ 40 pills in a bottle small as Homeopahic pillets and as easy to take as sugar. We mean Shedd's Little Mandrake Pills. All druggists. ++ THE STATE SHOOT. The twenty-seventh annual convention of the New York State Association for the Protection of Fish and Game will be held at Buffalo, commencing Monday, September 1st. The Audubon Club, under whose auspices the shoot is to take place, have issued a full programme, giving a large list of elegant prizes to be contested for. We understand that a very large number of blackbirds have been trapped to be used at the shoot, it being found impossible to obtain pigeons. Clay "pigeons" will also be used in some of the contests. The Dean RICHMOND Sportsmen's Club, of Batavia, will be represented. ++ ANXIOUS TO JOIN CAPT. WEBB. The following is from the Suspension Bridge Journal: "On Saturday last John HODGE, Secretary of the Merchant's Gargling Oil company, and J.L. BREYFOGLE of Lockport were here endeavoring to make arrangements for the passage through the rapids and whirlpool of a new life boat having for its passengers a news-boy on the Central who is a daring swimmer and who desires to make the dangerous and awe-inspiring trip. They visited Mr. BRUDNAGE at the whirlpool rapids (Canada side), Mrs. BUTTERY, whirlpool (American side), and other parties for the purpose of arranging matters. Nothing definite was determined at the time and negotiations are still going on. It is also announced that several enthusiastic individuals have made application to the 'Maid of the Mist' company to allow them to make a tri[p through the rapids on the boat that successfully made two trips last summer and is now at Lewiston. The trip is considered a safe one and the company think favorably of the matter. It is possible that some time in September the boat will make a trip with a man on board. The boat has been examined and found to be in good condition, with the exception of a few unimportant leaks, which can be repaired in a few hours." ++ SWIMMING THE NIAGARA. Under this head the Niagara Falls 'Gazette' says: "The feat of swimming across the river below the falls, starting out from the ferry landing, is by no means an uncommon one, and there are a number of village boys who have accomplished it. On Sunday, three young men took the trip. Once or twice during the season an expert swimmer comes along who thinks he has not done Niagara unless he swims the river. Monday afternoon, W.H. GREWFELL, of Taplow Court, late M.P. from Salisbury and a member of Oxford University, England, swam across, making remarkably good time. He entered the water from the large rock just below the American falls, and landed on the Canadian side under the new suspension bridge; swimming time four minutes and thirty seconds." ++ GENESEE AGRICULTURAL WORKS. Batavia, Aug. 6th, 1884. A few plain words to our customers who have open accounts on our books: We expect to devote considerable time during the present month to a preparation for our usual fall settlements. Many of you can pay your small accounts very soon, without inconvenience, and all, by taking a little time when in town, can step into our office and ascertain how their accounts stand. In times of financial depression especially, it would seem to be wise for all honest and honorable men to stand shoulder to shoulder and have faith in each other. In the absence of good evidence to the contrary, we shall ever have that faith in you, and trust that when the present bountiful crops are harvested and sold, they will enable our farmer friends and others more or less dependent upon their prosperity and trade, to make up for the losses and discouragements of the past year. P.P. BRADISH. ++ Madame CONNOLLY, the famous dressmaker of New York, makes a grand display of toilet and equipage at Long Branch. She is the owner of six houses on the seacoast worth in the aggregate $200,000. These only represent a part of her immense wealth, all acquired by decorating the women of New York within the last ten years. ++ THE HONEY INDUSTRY. One of the prosperous industries along the Hudson River is that of Honey making. This new trade has taken deep root among the farmers of Ulster and Dutchess counties, and already with the growing fruit and the sending of milk to the city, divides the time and energy of those who in these days to not confine themselves exclusively to raising crops from their farms. Mr. Charles T. COUTANT, of Esopsus, has long been noted as an expert bee cultivator and honey dealer, and sends large invoices every year to the wholesale dealers. Over at Cherry Valley, in Dutchess county, J.E. HERRINGTON keeps 1,200 hives, giving employment to eight men, and sending $30,000 worth of honey to New York as the product of a single season. Many of the river beekeepers gather from 400 to 700 pounds of honey a year. Some of the more expert extract the honey from the combs in the hive from three to five times a week. White clover appears to be the favorite flower of bees, and it is fed to them when there is a dearth of other flowers. Mr. L.C. ROOT of Dutchess county has secured as much as 20 pounds a day from the clover. When honey sells from 10 to 20 cents a pound, and at least 2 pounds can be taken from one hive a day, some idea of the revenue from a large number may be gathered. The industry has already attained such prominence along the river that the bee-keepers are talking of forming an organization where matters affecting the business may be discussed and all the modern appliances in honey making be thoroughly examined, and if practible, be at once put in operation. ++ HOLSTEIN MILK PRODUCT. In the last number of the 'Country Gentlemen' we find the following recorded of the product of milk for the month of July, from F.C. STEVENS' celebrated Holstein cows at "Maplewood Farm," Attica: (Name, Month, Best Day, Age.) Echo, 963 3/4, 39 1/2 lb, 1 1/2 yrs Hollander, 1752, 66 5/8, 8 yrs Jewel, 1841 1/4, 66 7/8, 6 yrs Jewel 2d, 1482 1/2, 55 1/4, 4 yrs Zwantje 2d, 1498 1/2, 56 1/2, 5 yrs Vinnie, 1843, 69 1/2, 4 yrs Klaska, 1733, 68 1/2, 4 yrs Echo 2d, 1485 1/2, 48 1/2, 3 yrs Echo 3d, 1447 1/2, 44, 2 yrs Ononis, 1454 1/2, 54 1/2, 2 yrs Ernesta, 1473 1/2, 59, 2 yrs ++ A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS SCHOOL.--The Bryant and Stratton Buffalo Business College has now enjoyed a successful experience of thirty years. The school has been recently removed to a large and elegant fire-proof building, and now offers an improved course of study unequaled facilities. 672 students were in attendance last year. The fall term will open Monday, Sep. 1st. 50-page Illustrated Catalogue sent free. ++ MANAGER HARRY C. FERREN'S LIST OF ENGAGEMENTS FOR THE COMING WINTER. Manager FERREN has secured the finest line of attractions for the coming season every presented to the amusement-loving people of Genesee county, and he has also engaged an orchestra, so there will be no lack of music at every entertainment where it is required. ++ DESTRUCTION OF THE GENESEE COUNTY MILLS--LOSS $40,000--INSURANCE $25,000. About a quarter past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, fire was discovered on the upper floors of the Genesee County Mills, and of such an inflammable nature was the building, and contents, the flames had on easy prey. The alarm was instantly given, and the Fire Department promptly responded, and but a few minutes elapsed, before several streams were brought to bear on the burning building, but it was easy to see from the start that no earthly power could save the mill. The engine and boiler together with the pumps that supply the village with water were located at the east end of the mill, and it was on these works that every effort was made to prevent their destruction. About nine o'clock it looked as though the engine house must go, the roof being on fire, the smoke stack gone, and the flames fighting for the mastery. Still the brave engineer, Fred CUTLAN, stood at his post, but at last the flames drove him out, he having left his boiler in condition for the worst. The pump-house was also burning down, but still the machinery kept at work, as it were by invisible means,, and for another hour supplied water sufficient to fight the fire around the machinery. At last the steam gave out, but he fire around the pumps was subdued and they were saved. Within an hour afterwards the engineer was enabled to get to the boiler again, which he supplied with water, and soon had a fire under it and it was not very long before the pumps were again at work and once more streams of water were turned on the burning ruins. When the chance of saving the water works machinery looked so dubious Mr. trustee TOMLINSON, after due consultation, telegraphed to Mayor SCOTTVILLE of Buffalo to send a steamer to their assistance. It was promptly done, and Chief Engineer HORNUNG, loaded steamer No. 7 with 2,500 feet of hose on a flat car, and with its crew was sent by special train to Batavia. It was drawn by locomotive 174, Wm. RELYEA engineer, the distance, 36 miles, being made in 40 minutes. Upon the steamer's arrival it was at once drawn onto the bridge that spans the mill-race, but there was great delay in getting suction, there being a defect in the suction pipe. Finding that it was impossible to make the suction pipe work, the machine was taken to a hydrant where they made direct connection with the pumps, and within a few minutes two powerful streams were doing effective service. The engine was kept steadily at work for two or three hours, and wet down the ruins effectively. At about five o'clock in the morning, No. 7 was returned to Buffalo by special train. The large barn that stood near the west end of the mill, and which had just been removed from the other side of the creek, shared the fate of the mill. Mr. McDONALD had a large amount of grain, feed and flour on hand, whilst several farmers also had considerable grain stored in the mill. The amount of grain is estimated at, wheat 6,000 bushels, 3,000 oats, 100 corn, 1,000 rye, 400 barrels of flour, and 20 tons of feed. The total loss on stock, buildings, machinery and waterworks is estimated at about $40,000, the insurance amounting to $25,000 in the following agencies: Dodgson, Bostwick & Co., $8,000 Tarbox, Sherwin & Stewart, 9,000 Clark & Cox, 5,000 Parker & Reed, 1,500 W. Harris Day, 1,000 Insurance on barn, 500 total, $25,000. On Thursday morning the safe was resurrected from the ruins, and on being burst open was found to be full of hot water, the books, papers, etc., being in very bad condition but after being dried out will be legible. On the alarm of fire the clerk who was in the office, hastily placed some books and papers in the safe, and carried off others to Mr. WATSON's residence. The mill was originally built by the Holland Land Company in 1803, the east end of the building being the original structure, so Mr. Chipman P. TURNER informed us yesterday, and was the oldest building in this section of country. Since it was built it has passed through a great many changes and ownerships, alterations, improvements, and additions being added by each successive proprietor, and within the past year Mr. McDONALD has added a large amount of new and expensive milling machinery. The water works are again in pretty good running order, the severed steam connection with the Holly pumps being replaced last evening. The fire occurred at an unfortunate time when a large number of our firemen were absent in Medina attending the annual parade in that village. We think it not a very proper thing for the Chief Engineer and both Assistants to be absent from the village at the same time, without proper provision being made for others to act during their absence in case of an emergency. The Trustees, however, directed the actions of the firemen at the burning of the mill, and managed affairs like old hands. The firemen and others who labored so heroically and stood to their posts before such an intense heat deserve great credit, and it is gratifying that no serious accident occurred, Alonzo LEONARD being the only one who was injured. He was at the foot of a ladder assisting to carry the hose onto the roof of the barn, when it slipped from the hands of the firemen above him, the nozzle striking him on the head, inflicting a serious wound. He was immediately conveyed in a hack to Dr. TOZIER's office where his wound was dressed, and he his now able to be around again, with a bandage on his head. We hope Mr. McDONALD will be able to re-build his mill, as its destruction is a sad loss to the whole community, and a great inconvenience to the farmers of Genesee county. ++ Neighboring Counties. The Baptist Sunday School and Society hold their annual picnic and excursion next week Tuesday at Caledonia. The excursionists will take the morning train at 9 o'clock, and return at six in the evening. The fruit growers of Niagara and Orleans counties will hold a meeting at Lockport, Wednesday, August 27th, to decide upon the size of the apple barrel to be used the present season, and probably for years to come. Farmers will be interested in the advertisement of Hon. Eli TAYLOR who announces a new seed wheat for sale. It is a Mediterranean Hybred variety and possesses many superior qualities. A conscientious girl. The Albany 'Argus' cites the case of a girl who has broken her engagement and sent the young man a check for the amount he had expended in candy, buggy rides, etc., during the interval of the engagement. The Attica "Eureka Club" whatever that is, are to have an excursion to Conesus Lake via Erie Railway, on Sunday, August 24th. Train leaves Attica at _a.m. Alexander 9:10. Batavia 9:25. Stafford 9:35. fare one dollar. Returning train leaves Lakeville at 6:30 p.m. The Board of Supervisors of Chautauqua county have appointed Willis D. _ to fill the balance of the defaulting county treasurer (SPERRY's) term. His bond was fixed at $50,000. Orrin SPERRY who has not been heard of, notwithstanding the offer of $1,000 for his arrest and conviction. On Wednesday evening Mr. George DELBRIDGE united in marriage to Miss Hettie, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. E.S. PARMELEE, by the Rev. G.L. HAMILTON, in the presence of about fifty relatives and friends. Mr.and Mrs. DELBRIDGE left on the 11:05 train for a week's sojourn at Chautauqua Lake. "I'm going to support BLAINE," cried a Binghampton bummer in a fit of enthusiasm. "You are, are you, you lazy dog?" exclaimed his enraged wife, as she drove him out of the room with a clothes stick. "You are going to support BLAINE, are you? You had better support me first," she retorted. Choice words. The Honeoye Falls 'Gazette' calls attention to the slanderous practices of a "despicable, low-loved and miserable villain," who infests that community, and who by his lies has made trouble in one of the village families. If he don't stop his lying, the 'Gazette' threatens to publish his name. On Sunday last the steamship Assyrian Monarch arrived at New York with 124 thoroughbred Normandy stallions and mares. John W. ALKIN of Scipio, N.Y., owns fifty-four of them. It is said the French government is beginning to look with disfavor of these shipments. There is a great deal of talk just now about the train news agent nuisance. It is thought that a person should be allowed to sit quietly in his seat without having his lap filled with prize packages, books and periodicals that he doesn't want. A buffet at the end of the car is suggested, and some of our exchanges think the idea may be adopted. 'Harper's Magazine' for September has an article on the "wheat fields of Columbia," with illustrations, giving a most interesting account of Oregon and its inhabitants. Mr. BOUGHTON's Dutch articles are continued and very charming they are, the illustrations to "Nature's Serial Story" are still the utmost perfection of wood engraving. It is an admirable number. SHULER Brothers of Lyons, the largest milling firm in that section, made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors Monday, and there has been considerable excitement among farmers in the vicinity. They have lost thousands of dollars, some having just sold their entire wheat crops to the firm. Much of this was delivered even up to last Saturday evening. ++ conclusion of this issue submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Possible Attraction at the Wheelmen's Tournament--The Hose Race. The alarm-hose race on Tuesday, August 29th, the day of the Cycling Association's race meet, will be an interesting feature if it is carried out according to programme. If the consent of the village authorities can be obtained and the fire companies will agree to participate, it is proposed to have an alarm sent in from some box by Herbert E. SMITH, the electrician in charge of the fire-alarm system, and the company first reaching the hydrant nearest the box and laying a certain number of feet of hose will be presented a suitable prize. Electrician SMITH is to select the box and decide upon the time that the alarm is to be sent in and no one but himself is to know of the location of the box selected, or the time for sending in the alarm, in advance. ++ DEATH OF DELOS M. JONES. Delos M. JONES, lately of Byron, died this morning at the County House in Bethany, at the age of 62 years. Particulars of the death of Mr. JONES are not learned. He had been in Bethany about a month. ++ BOYS COMMITTED TO THE PEN. Four boys, strangers in town, were loitering about on Jackson street, south of the tracks, yesterday afternoon, and residents of the vicinity sent word to the officers to arrest them. Officers HORSCH and BUXTON responded and the boys ran when they saw them approaching. Officer BUXTON overhauled two of them and Officer HORSCH captured a third, but let him go, as he had a satchel filled with lead pencils and cheap jewelry, which he said he was selling. When arraigned before Justice WEBSTER the two boys said they were from Buffalo and were traveling for fun.

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Saturday Evening, October 1-1881 Price Two Cents. NEWS OF THE COUNTY. In Alexander hay is selling for $12 a ton in the stack. F.W. FOREMAN has bought the grocery stock of BOAK & Co., LeRoy, recently assigned. The recent winds have blown a great deal of fruit from trees in Alexander orchards. A horse driven by James DAVIS, LeRoy, dropped dead in the harness at Byron Center a few days ago. For participating in a drunken row in LeRoy last Saturday, George CARR was penitentiaried for ninety days. The Lackawanna railroad employes have so increased trade at East Bethany that another store has been established there. Rev. E.A. WHEAT, after a forty years' pastorate at the Methodist Protestant Church, Elba, has been returned for another year. James BOYD died at the County House last Sunday at an advanced age. The Byron town fair will take place next Tuesday and Wednesday, and as usual, it is expected it will be a success and well worth attending. A. JACKSON's store at East Pembroke was burglarized Monday evening. The safe was blown open with powder and $15 in bills taken, besides a few articles of merchandise. Rev. J.B. COUNTRYMAN, pastor of the M.E. Church, Bergen, will preach his farewell sermon to-morrow, though it is probably he will be returned to the charge by the Conference. It is stated that Richard SELDEN of LeRoy, is now directing a survey for the Hoosic Tunnel road. ++ FASHIONS IN STOCKINGS AND SHOES. >From the N.Y. 'Sun.' "Embroiderers for shoes wanted," was the advertisement which led an enquirer up a long flight of stairs in a tall building, through the room that was filled with shoes to an office, where sat a benevolent-faced gentleman, who said: "Shoes are embroidered for ladies. We have orders for a line of cloth-top shoes embroidered in chenille, and for low shoes embroidered at the instep. The embroidered stockings have become so popular that now embroidery is wanted on the shoes too. We have an artist who makes the patterns, and we expect to turn out some charming bits of art embroidery in shoes for next summer's wear. We had an order recently for embroidered white slippers for a bride, to match a pair of white silk stockings with Chantilly lace let in from the instep, and another pair of white silk embroidered with floss silk, the design being pale-blue forget-me-nots and pink roses. Clock stockings are now superseded by embroidered stockings. We follow the fashion in stockings, and shoes and stockings will next year be sold to match. Open work is getting popular. Black silk stockings are made with a plan stripe, and there are open work stripe with white feet, which shoes[sic/shows?] through open work in the shoes. There are now twelve hundred new designs in silk stockings, and we have to make shoes to suit the most popular styles. We make the tops of cloth or leather to match the color of the stocking embroidery, so that at a glance, the lady seems to have on Newport slippers with embroidered stockings. It will add about $2 a pair to shoes to embroider them, but we can make them to cost $50 a pair. Some of our up-town dames don't seem to mind what it costs to beautify their feet." ++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican June 14, 1849 SUICIDE - An old man by the name of David SWEET, aged 71 years, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a jack-knife on the road between Dansville and Alfred, Alleghany county, last week. The deceased had been living with his son in Ohio for the last three years. He has been deranged for a year or two past, from what cause cannot be divined. The Dansville Courier, from which we learn these facts, says: "His wife says he had always been a man of regular and steady habits, and considerable property, and had been rather fortunate and lost none, and had always lived on the happiest terms with his family. * ATTEMPT TO DROWN - On Wednesday night about 9 o'clock Catharine BURT, a cook on a canal boat attempted to drown herself. She jumped from the boat into the canal, but was immediately rescued. She states that she is from Hamilton, C. W., which place she left about two weeks ago. She was taken to the poor house, but she refused to partake of any food and says she is determined to destroy herself. * CONDIGN PUNISHMENT - We stated several days since that the ladies of Albany had petitioned the Common Council of that city, to prohibit street smoking. The subject was referred to a select committee who have, after mature deliberation, reported against taking any action on the subject, but recommend that the smokers "be left to the frowns of the ladies as their punishment." * RECOVERY OF THE BODY OF MISS AVERY - The Argus says a Telegraphic despatch announces the recovery of the body of Miss AVERY, who was among the passengers of the Empire. Miss A. was in company with the TODD family, on her way to Ohio. This makes 23 bodies already recovered from the wreck. Others are missing, among them, one of the TODD family. * ODD FELLOW'S CELEBRATION - The twenty-sixth anniversary of the Grand Lodge of this state, was celebrated in New York on Monday. More than one hundred Lodges marched in a grand procession, which is said to have been a mile and a half in length. In the evening the fraternity assembled at Castle Garden, where C. Edwards LESTER delivered an oration. * A decapitated Post Master in a neighboring town, placed on his door in large letters, the following notice: "P. O. REMOVED TO --------- BY ORDER OF ZACHARY." The new Post Master took the liberty of removing the latter part of the notice. * CASES OF DROWNING AT PALMYRA - A child named DeCLAIR, aged about six years, also a child of Mr. WHIPPLE, about the same age, were drowned in the Canal at Palmyra on Tuesday. * THE CHOLERA - It appears that the members of the Legislature of Virginia have come to the sage conclusion, that the law of self-preservation is of more consequence than the laws of the State; and have therefore left Richmond, and gone to the White Sulphur Springs, near the Blue Ridge chain of mountains, where they hope to escape the range of the Cholera. They have been considerably laughed at in consequence, but we don't think it is any body's business unless they charge mileage. Which they probably will, both ways. * The New Orleans Bee, of the 22d, contains the following: "We learn that on Sunday last a man who was walking bare-footed in the inundated portion of the First Municipality, was bitten on the leg, (probably by a moccasin sn ke,) and shortly afterwards expired. On the same evening a little lad was bitten either by a similar animal or a congre, and died soon afterwards from the effects." * ACCIDENT - An accident of a serious nature happened to James CLARK, second son of Calvin E. CLARKE of Dansville. While assisting at the raising of a house in that village some of the timbers fell, rolling and crushing him between. * Theodore PARKER, in a late discourse, said that as much matter was printed in Boston alone, in fourteen days, as was written in the whole world during the fourteen centuries before the art of printing was discovered. * HANGING FOR THEFT - A negro man at Piedmont has been sentenced to be hung for stealing bacon from a meat house. We did not know that such a barbarous law still prevailed in Virginia. — They are shocked to every feeling of humanity. * A Magistrate's Court in Knox county, Ohio, was stoned on the 17th ult., while in session, in the case of a criminal prosecution for retailing liquor contrary to law. * MARRIED On the 7th inst., by the Rev.

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State April 8-1881 MERE MENTION. The early bird can't catch many worms such weather as this. Lieut. Gov. HOSKINS is now convalescent with every prospect of a speedy recovery. Advertising, says an exchange, is like fishing--the more "lines" you put in, the more you can catch. The school teachers of Genesee county are anxiously awaiting their pay. By the 15th inst. it is believed the respective supervisors will have the public money in their custody. Mr. Chas. F. PENDILL, through KIBBE's Farm Advertising agency has sold his fine residence on Summit street, to H. Baldwin, for $5,000. This is the 53rd sale effected by the agency since November 5th, 1880, aggregating in amount over $300,000. By the will of the late Major-general UPTON, from the shock occasioned by whose death the people of Genesee county have not yet recovered, it is shown that the general, by judicious management and careful investment, had amassed a fine property, which is mainly bequeathed to relatives and friends. ++ PERSONALS. Miss HOUSE, of Byron, is visiting friends in town. Miss Eunice JONES, of Buffalo, is the guest of Miss Viola SEARLS. Harry C. FERREN, who has been managing the George Holland Comedy company for the past week, has returned home. He reports the troupe as doing a good business. B.J.

State and Main streets, or at pupil's residence if desired. + Watch glasses 15 cents and clocks cleaned, for 50 cents. The lowest prices in town. Eugene THOMSON, at BOWEN's Crockery store. + A BIT OF HISTORY. It is a fact which I believe, is "within the memory of men still living," that I for years retailed School Books at wholesale prices. During those years I was frequently importuned to join a combination to sell at the regular retail prices; but this I steadily refused to do, not because I thought the narrow margin of profits fixed by the publishers--notoriously the most grasping set of monopolists in the country--for the retail trade, was too large, but because I was afraid that some one in the ever shifting procession of my competitors would be constantly seeking to create the impression that he could undersell me. Finally however, a written agreement, drawn up and signed by both my competitors, was presented to me and I signed under them. That agreement is still in existence, and the "high contracting parties" are all here present. But the object of this communication is to announce that the said agreement is now abrogated. I am impelled to this course, not by compunctions of conscience for having heretofore extorted from the public, but solely as a measure of self defense. I make this avowal under the belief that a candid admission of the truth will be quite as favorably received by a discriminating public as would be a transparently hypocritical pretence to be governed in the management of my business by a regard for the interests of others, On the third anniversary of my advent as a business man in Batavia, I wish to announce that, in the linen of School Books, and in all branches of my trade, I am fully determined not to be undersold, and that the man who succeeds permanently in making people believe that he can or will sell goods cheaper than I can, will need the assistance of the individual who is supplied by tradition with a cloven foot. A.D. TRYON. ++ NEW MILLINERY ROOMS. Mrs. J.B. HARMON has returned from Rochester where she has been purchasing a full line of millinery goods, which she is prepared to sell at a low price. Mrs. J. GARDNER will be pleased to see all her friends at the above rooms. No charge is made for showing goods. Rooms in Dellinger's new block, over S.A. DUSTIN's drug store. ++ submitted by Linda C.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Saturday, February 27-1864 TOWN AND COUNTRY ITEMS. Soldiers' Home. This Saturday evening, an entertainment is to be given at Concert Hall, by Col. Wm. H. YOUNG, and lady, for the purpose of establishing at Niagara Falls, a Home for the children of slain or disabled soldiers. The proposal is one that warmly appeals to the best and noblest emotions of our nature, and we cannot but believe will open the purse-strings of all who love their country, and have a heart to feel for the innocent sufferers by the heroic patriotism of their sires. As soon as sufficient funds are raised, for whom responsible Treasurers are appointed, it is intended to erect a commodious edifice and suitable offices, for the purposes of the institution; in the meantime buildings between the Falls and Suspension Bridge, are being rented for temporary occupation. ++ OLDEST MAN IN THE COUNTY. John French Meigs BRADLEY, residing near Pavilion Center, was 95 years and 6 months old on the 22d day of February inst., and is believed to be the oldest man now living in Genesee County. Capt. BRADLEY was born in East Guilford, Ct., on the 22nd of August,, 1768. When a young man he took up his residence in Sunderland, Bennington Co., Vt., where he raised a family of nine children, and uniformly held a high rank in society. Many years ago he removed to the place he now occupies, surrounded by his children, where he still lives in good health, able to ride or walk about, do his own chores, talk with his neighbors, and enjoy life remarkably well for one of his great age,--respected and beloved by all who know him. ++ PENSIONS, BOUNTY AND BACK PAY. Persons entitled under the laws of the United States to receive either pensions, bounty, or back pay from the Government, should at once employ a competent agent to prosecute their claims. By employing an experienced agent, the papers sent to the Departments will be properly prepared and the cases disposed of when first reached, instead of being delayed perhaps for months, till the papers are sent back to have numerous errors which inexperienced agents always make, corrected. By calling at the Pension Agency of Welden T. BLISS, in the old American Block, in this village, claimants will be sure to have their business properly done. ++ DESERTER ARRESTED. On Wednesday last a deserter by the name of Edward BREWER, in the town of Bethany, was arrested by Sheriff UPTON, at his father's residence. BREWER, it seems, is an old offender having deserted the service some three times; the last charge against him is that he enlisted in Rochester a short time ago, took his bounty, and then skedaddled. He is a man about 28 years of age. ++ REAL ESTATE CHANGES IN LE ROY. L.K. GOULD sold a small house on Gilbert street, formerly occupied by Henry BACHELDER, for $500. H.S. RIDER has bought the CUSHING place on Brockport street, for $2,300. It was stated upon good authority in this paper last week, that Mr. RIDER has purchased the PARKS house, but it seems that the trade was not fully consummated. Next week we shall note many changes in real estate in the County. Those knowing any such having changed owners will confer a favor by informing us in season, together with the prices paid and other items of interest and information. ++ DEATH OF SILAS TABER OF AKRON. This gentleman, well known in all this vicinity as a veteran practitioner in Justices' Courts, died recently at his residence near Akron. He filled a prominent position in the business of political affairs of his town, for many years. ++ MARRIED. In Batavia, at the Western Hotel, Feb. 23d, by M.W. HEWITT, Esq., Mr. Earl W.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State August 23-1884 part 2 of 2 THE STATE FAIR. The work of fitting up the grounds and buildings for the state fair at Elmira is being rapidly carried forward. The grounds there are the property of the state fair association, which was chartered 44 years ago. The fair is under the supervision of the general manager, James GEDDES, of Syracuse. The meeting this year will be on September 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, and 10th. For the first time in the history of the association, parts of two weeks will be taken. The object is to extend the time of the fair should be the first few weeks prove unfavorable and also allow exhibitors to reach home with their property, after the close of the exhibit, before Sunday. It is a new experiment, but it is expected to work advantageously. ++ THE GENESEE COUNTY FAIR. To the people of Genesee county and our friends in the surrounding counties: We, the managers of the Genesee County Agricultural Society being encouraged by the very liberal patronage received last year, have determined to make the exhibition of the fall of 1884 the most complete ever held in Batavia. Our premium list has been carefully revised, premiums increased and eight new classes added to the list. We have solicited and obtained valuable suggestions from the enterprising farmers and exhibitors in this vicinity as well as in other counties. Great care has been taken in securing judges. We have aimed to select none by fair-minded and honest men--men who are acquainted with the special departments that come under their care. In the way of entertainment we will say that never, since the society has been organized, has there been such a varied program. At great expense we have secured the services of the world-renowned lady aeronaut and aerial gymnast, Madam Lowanda, who will make one of her wonderful ascensions, rising to the height of from one to two miles and then sailing away until lost to sight. No one should miss this one chance of a life time. Bring the children and they will remember it in after years as one of the most wonderful sights they ever witnessed. This ascension will take place rain or shine. Something never seen by any one in this county will be fifty to sixty bicycles in parade. In the first race four prizes will be offered; in the second, two prizes, and in the third, or the "green" race, as the boys call it, there will be at least twenty-five bicycles. In horse racing there will be running, trotting, and hurdle jumping. See large bills for particulars. Special premiums will be offered, for the handsomest baby in the county, for the best lady driver and for the best lady rider. Many other attractions are offered for which please see small bills. In conclusion we say come, and bring your families, and ask your neighbors to come. Remember to bring the best you have for exhibition, so that you will not have to go home and say, "I could have shown a better article." This is your fair, let it be the best, as well as the largest, ever seen in Batavia. John McKENZIE, Sec. ++ DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ATTICA. The bright light seen last evening about nine o'clock, south of Batavia, was the burning of the fine barns of F.C. STEVENS, just east of the village of Attica. A valuable imported Holstein bull and four calves of the same blood were lost. The origin of the fire is unknown. It was with great difficulty that Mr. S's fine residence was saved, as little water was available. ++ POLE RAISING IN DARIEN. There was a very large gathering of the Democracy of Darien and adjoining towns assembled at the Centre, to raise a Cleveland and Hendricks' pole. The Cowlesville cornet band was in attendance, and with a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull altogether, the stately hickory rose to its position, and now floats a fine Cleveland and Hendricks streamer. Immediately after the work of raising the pole was completed an organization was effected by the choice of Rd. R. LOSEE as chairman, with D. VANANKEN secretary. Rousing speeches were made by M.H. PECK, Jr., and R.L. KINSEY,of Batavia, P.A. MATTISON and Jas. A. ALLEN, of Buffalo. In the evening a large Cleveland and Hendricks club was formed, consisting of over one hundred members, and was organized with the choice of the following officers: President-Barnum HARNDEN Vice-Presidents-Dr. E.A. PHILLIPS and H.C. TIFFANY Secretary and Treasurer-Dwight VANOCKER Executive Committee-Fred SCHRADER, Frank CARTER, Dallas SUMNER, C.S. PETTIBONE, J.H. SUTHERLAND, Nicholas GARRIGAN, R.R. LOSEE, and A.M. ?ODGE. ++ THE "NEXT" HEARD FROM. The hunt for tall stalks of corn has brought forth the "boss" stalk by Simon CREHAN, who works the "Otis Farm." On Saturday he brought a stalk of eight-rowed yellow corn to our office that measured 11 ft. 7 in height (not 12 feet as reported in the 'News.') Mr. CREHAN has two acres of this prime corn, the seed being raised by Walter WARE last year, which must have ripened remarkably well considering it was such a poor corn year.--Next! ++ THE HOT WAVE! Reports from Troy on Monday last state that it was the hottest day of the season. At Eagle Bridge the thermometer reached 105 degrees in the shade. Apples were baked in the sun. In New England and part of Canada the heat was intense. ++ Look at our line of Dress Ginghams at 6 1/2 c., and Prints in good styles at 5c. a yd. R.O. HOLDEN & Son. ++ NEW MILLINERY AND FANCY GOODS STORE. Mr. Lee SCHWARTZ, from New York, informs us that he has leased the store corner Main and Exchange place, adjoining VOLZ' hardware store, and will open the same with a large and new stock of seasonable and most fashionable styles of millinery and fancy goods, etc., the latter part of September, or sooner if the improvements in the store are perfected. Further announcement of the opening will appear in due season. ++ CLEVELAND CLUB AT DAW'S CORNERS. On Tuesday evening about thirty Democrats met at the residence of A.D. WALDO, Daws' Corners, and organize a Cleveland and Hendricks campaign club, with the following officers: President, A.D. WALDO Vice-President-Wm. SNYDER Captain-Robert LAVIS 1st Lieutenant-Michael DOWNEY 2d Lieutenant-J.H. KELLOGG The "unterrified" Democracy of Daw's Corners will give a good account of themselves during the campaign and on election day. ++ FAMILY BOARDING & DAY SCHOOL. The Fall Term of this School will open Monday, September 1st, and continue 13 weeks. Miss Emily G. THRALL, Principal.. ++ 40 pills in a bottle small as Homeopahic pillets and as easy to take as sugar. We mean Shedd's Little Mandrake Pills. All druggists. ++ THE STATE SHOOT. The twenty-seventh annual convention of the New York State Association for the Protection of Fish and Game will be held at Buffalo, commencing Monday, September 1st. The Audubon Club, under whose auspices the shoot is to take place, have issued a full programme, giving a large list of elegant prizes to be contested for. We understand that a very large number of blackbirds have been trapped to be used at the shoot, it being found impossible to obtain pigeons. Clay "pigeons" will also be used in some of the contests. The Dean RICHMOND Sportsmen's Club, of Batavia, will be represented. ++ ANXIOUS TO JOIN CAPT. WEBB. The following is from the Suspension Bridge Journal: "On Saturday last John HODGE, Secretary of the Merchant's Gargling Oil company, and J.L. BREYFOGLE of Lockport were here endeavoring to make arrangements for the passage through the rapids and whirlpool of a new life boat having for its passengers a news-boy on the Central who is a daring swimmer and who desires to make the dangerous and awe-inspiring trip. They visited Mr. BRUDNAGE at the whirlpool rapids (Canada side), Mrs. BUTTERY, whirlpool (American side), and other parties for the purpose of arranging matters. Nothing definite was determined at the time and negotiations are still going on. It is also announced that several enthusiastic individuals have made application to the 'Maid of the Mist' company to allow them to make a tri[p through the rapids on the boat that successfully made two trips last summer and is now at Lewiston. The trip is considered a safe one and the company think favorably of the matter. It is possible that some time in September the boat will make a trip with a man on board. The boat has been examined and found to be in good condition, with the exception of a few unimportant leaks, which can be repaired in a few hours." ++ SWIMMING THE NIAGARA. Under this head the Niagara Falls 'Gazette' says: "The feat of swimming across the river below the falls, starting out from the ferry landing, is by no means an uncommon one, and there are a number of village boys who have accomplished it. On Sunday, three young men took the trip. Once or twice during the season an expert swimmer comes along who thinks he has not done Niagara unless he swims the river. Monday afternoon, W.H. GREWFELL, of Taplow Court, late M.P. from Salisbury and a member of Oxford University, England, swam across, making remarkably good time. He entered the water from the large rock just below the American falls, and landed on the Canadian side under the new suspension bridge; swimming time four minutes and thirty seconds." ++ GENESEE AGRICULTURAL WORKS. Batavia, Aug. 6th, 1884. A few plain words to our customers who have open accounts on our books: We expect to devote considerable time during the present month to a preparation for our usual fall settlements. Many of you can pay your small accounts very soon, without inconvenience, and all, by taking a little time when in town, can step into our office and ascertain how their accounts stand. In times of financial depression especially, it would seem to be wise for all honest and honorable men to stand shoulder to shoulder and have faith in each other. In the absence of good evidence to the contrary, we shall ever have that faith in you, and trust that when the present bountiful crops are harvested and sold, they will enable our farmer friends and others more or less dependent upon their prosperity and trade, to make up for the losses and discouragements of the past year. P.P. BRADISH. ++ Madame CONNOLLY, the famous dressmaker of New York, makes a grand display of toilet and equipage at Long Branch. She is the owner of six houses on the seacoast worth in the aggregate $200,000. These only represent a part of her immense wealth, all acquired by decorating the women of New York within the last ten years. ++ THE HONEY INDUSTRY. One of the prosperous industries along the Hudson River is that of Honey making. This new trade has taken deep root among the farmers of Ulster and Dutchess counties, and already with the growing fruit and the sending of milk to the city, divides the time and energy of those who in these days to not confine themselves exclusively to raising crops from their farms. Mr. Charles T. COUTANT, of Esopsus, has long been noted as an expert bee cultivator and honey dealer, and sends large invoices every year to the wholesale dealers. Over at Cherry Valley, in Dutchess county, J.E. HERRINGTON keeps 1,200 hives, giving employment to eight men, and sending $30,000 worth of honey to New York as the product of a single season. Many of the river beekeepers gather from 400 to 700 pounds of honey a year. Some of the more expert extract the honey from the combs in the hive from three to five times a week. White clover appears to be the favorite flower of bees, and it is fed to them when there is a dearth of other flowers. Mr. L.C. ROOT of Dutchess county has secured as much as 20 pounds a day from the clover. When honey sells from 10 to 20 cents a pound, and at least 2 pounds can be taken from one hive a day, some idea of the revenue from a large number may be gathered. The industry has already attained such prominence along the river that the bee-keepers are talking of forming an organization where matters affecting the business may be discussed and all the modern appliances in honey making be thoroughly examined, and if practible, be at once put in operation. ++ HOLSTEIN MILK PRODUCT. In the last number of the 'Country Gentlemen' we find the following recorded of the product of milk for the month of July, from F.C.

Manager FERREN has secured the finest line of attractions for the coming season every presented to the amusement-loving people of Genesee county, and he has also engaged an orchestra, so there will be no lack of music at every entertainment where it is required. ++ DESTRUCTION OF THE GENESEE COUNTY MILLS--LOSS $40,000--INSURANCE $25,000. About a quarter past eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, fire was discovered on the upper floors of the Genesee County Mills, and of such an inflammable nature was the building, and contents, the flames had on easy prey. The alarm was instantly given, and the Fire Department promptly responded, and but a few minutes elapsed, before several streams were brought to bear on the burning building, but it was easy to see from the start that no earthly power could save the mill. The engine and boiler together with the pumps that supply the village with water were located at the east end of the mill, and it was on these works that every effort was made to prevent their destruction. About nine o'clock it looked as though the engine house must go, the roof being on fire, the smoke stack gone, and the flames fighting for the mastery. Still the brave engineer, Fred CUTLAN, stood at his post, but at last the flames drove him out, he having left his boiler in condition for the worst. The pump-house was also burning down, but still the machinery kept at work, as it were by invisible means,, and for another hour supplied water sufficient to fight the fire around the machinery. At last the steam gave out, but he fire around the pumps was subdued and they were saved. Within an hour afterwards the engineer was enabled to get to the boiler again, which he supplied with water, and soon had a fire under it and it was not very long before the pumps were again at work and once more streams of water were turned on the burning ruins. When the chance of saving the water works machinery looked so dubious Mr. trustee TOMLINSON, after due consultation, telegraphed to Mayor SCOTTVILLE of Buffalo to send a steamer to their assistance. It was promptly done, and Chief Engineer HORNUNG, loaded steamer No. 7 with 2,500 feet of hose on a flat car, and with its crew was sent by special train to Batavia. It was drawn by locomotive 174, Wm. RELYEA engineer, the distance, 36 miles, being made in 40 minutes. Upon the steamer's arrival it was at once drawn onto the bridge that spans the mill-race, but there was great delay in getting suction, there being a defect in the suction pipe. Finding that it was impossible to make the suction pipe work, the machine was taken to a hydrant where they made direct connection with the pumps, and within a few minutes two powerful streams were doing effective service. The engine was kept steadily at work for two or three hours, and wet down the ruins effectively. At about five o'clock in the morning, No. 7 was returned to Buffalo by special train. The large barn that stood near the west end of the mill, and which had just been removed from the other side of the creek, shared the fate of the mill. Mr. McDONALD had a large amount of grain, feed and flour on hand, whilst several farmers also had considerable grain stored in the mill. The amount of grain is estimated at, wheat 6,000 bushels, 3,000 oats, 100 corn, 1,000 rye, 400 barrels of flour, and 20 tons of feed. The total loss on stock, buildings, machinery and waterworks is estimated at about $40,000, the insurance amounting to $25,000 in the following agencies: Dodgson, Bostwick & Co., $8,000 Tarbox, Sherwin & Stewart, 9,000 Clark & Cox, 5,000 Parker & Reed, 1,500 W. Harris Day, 1,000 Insurance on barn, 500 total, $25,000. On Thursday morning the safe was resurrected from the ruins, and on being burst open was found to be full of hot water, the books, papers, etc., being in very bad condition but after being dried out will be legible. On the alarm of fire the clerk who was in the office, hastily placed some books and papers in the safe, and carried off others to Mr. WATSON's residence. The mill was originally built by the Holland Land Company in 1803, the east end of the building being the original structure, so Mr. Chipman P. TURNER informed us yesterday, and was the oldest building in this section of country. Since it was built it has passed through a great many changes and ownerships, alterations, improvements, and additions being added by each successive proprietor, and within the past year Mr. McDONALD has added a large amount of new and expensive milling machinery. The water works are again in pretty good running order, the severed steam connection with the Holly pumps being replaced last evening. The fire occurred at an unfortunate time when a large number of our firemen were absent in Medina attending the annual parade in that village. We think it not a very proper thing for the Chief Engineer and both Assistants to be absent from the village at the same time, without proper provision being made for others to act during their absence in case of an emergency. The Trustees, however, directed the actions of the firemen at the burning of the mill, and managed affairs like old hands. The firemen and others who labored so heroically and stood to their posts before such an intense heat deserve great credit, and it is gratifying that no serious accident occurred, Alonzo LEONARD being the only one who was injured. He was at the foot of a ladder assisting to carry the hose onto the roof of the barn, when it slipped from the hands of the firemen above him, the nozzle striking him on the head, inflicting a serious wound. He was immediately conveyed in a hack to Dr. TOZIER's office where his wound was dressed, and he his now able to be around again, with a bandage on his head. We hope Mr. McDONALD will be able to re-build his mill, as its destruction is a sad loss to the whole community, and a great inconvenience to the farmers of Genesee county. ++ Neighboring Counties. The Baptist Sunday School and Society hold their annual picnic and excursion next week Tuesday at Caledonia. The excursionists will take the morning train at 9 o'clock, and return at six in the evening. The fruit growers of Niagara and Orleans counties will hold a meeting at Lockport, Wednesday, August 27th, to decide upon the size of the apple barrel to be used the present season, and probably for years to come. Farmers will be interested in the advertisement of Hon. Eli TAYLOR who announces a new seed wheat for sale. It is a Mediterranean Hybred variety and possesses many superior qualities. A conscientious girl. The Albany 'Argus' cites the case of a girl who has broken her engagement and sent the young man a check for the amount he had expended in candy, buggy rides, etc., during the interval of the engagement. The Attica "Eureka Club" whatever that is, are to have an excursion to Conesus Lake via Erie Railway, on Sunday, August 24th. Train leaves Attica at _a.m. Alexander 9:10. Batavia 9:25. Stafford 9:35. fare one dollar. Returning train leaves Lakeville at 6:30 p.m. The Board of Supervisors of Chautauqua county have appointed Willis D. _ to fill the balance of the defaulting county treasurer (SPERRY's) term. His bond was fixed at $50,000. Orrin SPERRY who has not been heard of, notwithstanding the offer of $1,000 for his arrest and conviction. On Wednesday evening Mr. George DELBRIDGE united in marriage to Miss Hettie, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. E.S. PARMELEE, by the Rev. G.L. HAMILTON, in the presence of about fifty relatives and friends. Mr.and Mrs. DELBRIDGE left on the 11:05 train for a week's sojourn at Chautauqua Lake. "I'm going to support BLAINE," cried a Binghampton bummer in a fit of enthusiasm. "You are, are you, you lazy dog?" exclaimed his enraged wife, as she drove him out of the room with a clothes stick. "You are going to support BLAINE, are you? You had better support me first," she retorted. Choice words. The Honeoye Falls 'Gazette' calls attention to the slanderous practices of a "despicable, low-loved and miserable villain," who infests that community, and who by his lies has made trouble in one of the village families. If he don't stop his lying, the 'Gazette' threatens to publish his name. On Sunday last the steamship Assyrian Monarch arrived at New York with 124 thoroughbred Normandy stallions and mares. John W. ALKIN of Scipio, N.Y., owns fifty-four of them. It is said the French government is beginning to look with disfavor of these shipments. There is a great deal of talk just now about the train news agent nuisance. It is thought that a person should be allowed to sit quietly in his seat without having his lap filled with prize packages, books and periodicals that he doesn't want. A buffet at the end of the car is suggested, and some of our exchanges think the idea may be adopted. 'Harper's Magazine' for September has an article on the "wheat fields of Columbia," with illustrations, giving a most interesting account of Oregon and its inhabitants. Mr. BOUGHTON's Dutch articles are continued and very charming they are, the illustrations to "Nature's Serial Story" are still the utmost perfection of wood engraving. It is an admirable number. SHULER Brothers of Lyons, the largest milling firm in that section, made an assignment for the benefit of their creditors Monday, and there has been considerable excitement among farmers in the vicinity. They have lost thousands of dollars, some having just sold their entire wheat crops to the firm. Much of this was delivered even up to last Saturday evening. ++ conclusion of this issue submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
