April 27, 1927 Rochester Democrat & Chronicle Rochester, NY County of Monroe submitted by: Mary E. Zeiner, 61 Macbeth Street, Rochester, NY 14609 585.288.6348 Zeiner22@netscape.net RETURNS FROM NEVADA'S GOLD MINING CAMPS ROCHESTERIAN ENCOUNTERED PLENTY OF SNOW IN MOUNTAIN PASSES Home from an automobile trip to California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, Raymond J. FOLEY, of No. 116 Magnolia Street, is relating to friends a series of interesting adventures, including a night when the party became lost in the deserts of Nevada. On the way from California into Nevada, he crossed Death Valley and encountered intense heat at a time when other parts of the country were suffering from midwinter cold. At Weepah, Nevada, he found a tent city of five thousand persons attracted by news of big gold strikes. He also visited other Nevada mining camps and was shown glistening samples of ore taken out of the numerous excavations in the neighborhood. The fact that impressed itself on his memory particularly was that water was expensive in two ways; it cost huge sums to fill the radiator, and it evaporated so fast that the engine was continually getting hot. Returning eastward through Utah, the party found the passes over the Continental Divide blocked by fifteen-foot drifts, and had to turn south into Arizona and come back eastward close to the Mexican line. Once east of the mountains, they turned north to Colorado Springs and Denver, and thence came across Kansas and Missouri, and so on by improved roads to Rochester. Mr. Foley was told that the passes would not be open until June, he says, the winter in the mountains having been unusually severe. WOMAN HELD AS PAL OF YOUTH ACCUSED OF ROBBING AGED MAN Hazel ZELOFF, 28 years old, of Syracuse, who, police say, aided James TAYLOR, 26 years old, of Syracuse, in assaulting and robbing an aged man here last week, was arrested yesterday morning in Syracuse as a fugitive from Justice.

Taylor was arrested on a similar charge Saturday. According to detectives, Taylor and the woman gave James HAMILTON, 62 years old, of Newark, a brutal beating in a room at No. 9 Scio Street.

The arrests were made on information furnished Syracuse police by Detectives Doherty and SMYLIE. DEATHS Max DREAS died Saturday, aged 45 years.

Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee County, New York State October 6-1863 The 'Times' claims that Hon. Martin GROVER, of Allegany, has gone over to the enemies of this Administration. Its authority is the Genesee Valley (Allegany) 'Free Press.' The truth is, the Republicans of Allegany are divided into two very bitter cliques--the one headed by Judge GROVER and the other by Senator ANGEL--and the newspaper supporters of each are bitter and malevolent toward their respective opponents. We guess Judge GROVER is all right; at any rate, we shall need other evidence than any we have yet seen, before we can think otherwise. ++ ERRATUM.--In giving the result of the balloting last week, at our County Convention, we gave Lemuel F. LINCOLN, candidate for County Superintendent, twelve, when he should have had thirty-two votes. It was merely a typographical error, and escaped our notice when revising the proof. ++ Dr. Peter P. MURPHY, Examining Surgeon for this District, has been arrested on a charge of improper conduct while acting in his official capacity. He was held to bail in $2,000 for his appearance for examination October 7th. ++ SUDDEN DEATH.--Coroner RANDALL was called yesterday to hold an inquest on the body of an old gentleman, aged 60 years, named Henry FISK, who died suddenly at the residence of his father, Mr. S. FISK, corner of Main and Utica streets, about eight o'clock yesterday morning. He arrived in the city, from Michigan, by the early train, and started to walk out to his father's house. Before he reached Main street he was taken suddenly ill and fell, striking his head against the pavement, severely cutting his forehead. How long he remained insensible, he did not know. He finally recovered so far that he was enabled to reach a street car. Upon arriving at his father's house he felt much better, but shortly after eating his breakfast complained of being ill, and in a few moments slid from his chair to the floor, and died within fifteen minutes. Dr. KING made an examination of the body, and found the usual evidences of death from appoplexy. Deceased was a farmer and resident at Stafford, Genesee county. He leaves a wife and four children. -'Buffalo Express, of Sept. 23d.' ++ A young lady in Springfield broke her neck in trying to escape being kissed.

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State April 9-1875 INDIAN FALLS.--Dr. H.W. COBB, has removed to Eagle Harbor Orleans Co. He rented his place in this village to Isaac COBB his brother who will establish wagon manufactory here. We are sorry to lose the Dr. Mr. Henry V. PHELPS has traded his grist mill for a farm near Crittenden Erie Co. Mr. SMITH our new hotel keeper, has taken possession, obtained license and held an open dance. Mr. ARNOLD, our new merchant has a fine stock of goods and is doing a good business. GILMORE & Co.'s, mill yard is full of logs and they will have something to do to empty it. They have engaged Miss FITCH to teach the school this summer, (who taught here last summer), which is good evidence of their appreciation of her qualifications of a good teacher. ++ CORFU.--Have you moved. Now the merry frog croaketh. A wedding is on the tapis, so "they say." So mote it be. The GRIFFITH Bros. have rented the house formerly occupied by John LINCOLN, and moved into town April 1st. Andrew SMITH having leased his farm, goes to Buffalo, to engage in the milk business. J. MARSH has sold his farm, and is to remove hence. He "auctioned" on Tuesday last. We shall miss you Joe. One of our business places has the following notice conspicuously posted: "customers and others are cautioned not to discuss the BEECHER-TILTON scandal, under penalty of instant expulsion." Fastidious, very. George PHELPS has just erected a large windmill. It is of the Heath make, and a fine specimen of its kind. Who furnishes wind, George? While individuals and the press generally are insisting that we are living in an era of panic and hard times, you have but to come to our modest little hamlet, to see in operation one of the most flourishing trades of this day and age. I refer to the "chair bottomers." Its devotees follow it up with an application and disinterestedness that is unaccountable. They mostly do congregate at the stores, and woe unto that lady, who, in pursuit of a corset, shoe strings, gaiters &c. is obliged to run the gauntlet of these owl-eyed gazers. Some of them occupy the same place which they graced three years ago. I know not if they have ever left them in the interim, but there they are today, as immovable as the "accursed spot" that tortured lady Macbeth. If they would but follow some laudable avocation, with half the zeal they do this vile trade, they would merit and receive the gratitude of the gentler portion of the community. ++ NOW LOOK OUT.--W.C. SIMPSON, of the firm of SOUTHWORTH & SIMPSON, is in New York making spring purchases. He has a splendid eye for dress goods, SIMPSON has, and if he don't bring back a stack of the neatest, tastiest dress goods ever seen here, it will be because they are not to be found in the New York market--that's all. ++ Mr. Chester WHITE of this town [Batavia] was eight-two years old on the 14th of February last. He has long been a resident here, and is well known and respected in all this region. On his eighty-second birthday one of his grand daughters sent him the following valentine, which, to gratify our aged friend, we publish. DEDICATED TO CHESTER WHITE, ON HIS EIGHTY-SECOND BIRTHDAY. The fourteenth of February--Valentine's day, We greet once more with mirth; Not because of increased joy, But 'tis the anniversary of your birth. Eighty-two years ago this day You were a valentine of joy Sent into this wondrous world, A little baby boy. By a fond mother's loving care Your infant life was reared; She proudly watched your boyish ways, And her tender heart was cheered. Unlike most other valentines, You were cherished with love untold, Until you started out in life, A child but eight years old. Show me the boy at thrice that age, With the courage you must have had. No! They settle down in perfect ease, And firmly cling to Dad. How very different now are times, Boys don't venture forth in life. They stay with Pa til they're of age, And then come home and bring their wife. But when you resolved to take a wife, You knew her love was true; To leave her mother, friends, and name, For a country far and new. And in your little hut of logs, You were happier, I know, Than those whose homes are palaces, With all their worldly show. Many hardships you have borne, Amid privation's stare; But now, in your declining years, You're pleased with tending care. You've lived to see a wondrous chapter, Both in Nature's works and man's. Where then was thick, dense forests, Your pleasant home now stands. And from your door, you now can look, O'er a large and beautious town, Bordered by the richest fields: Those forests are all hewn down. The old ox cart that once was prized, Is completely done away, And by the mightly power of steam, Are wrought wonders of to-day. By the wire we now communicate, With countries far away. And o'er the rail we're swiftly whirled, Hundreds of miles a day. And thus with time, we're hastening on To eternity and the grave; And from death's icy cold embrace No earthly power can save. These mortal coils of flesh and blood, Alike will moulder 'neath the sod; But the spirit, which is immortal, Must appear before its God. Soon those dim and feebled eyes Will wake to earth no more, May they open in that brighter world, On yonder shining shore. And in these happy realms above Loved ones are waiting there, Beckoning you to yonder home, Above the "Golden Stair." Feb. 14, 1875. J.A.T. ++ MARRIED.

The show-window is devoted wholly to fancy work and here may be seen elegant toilet sets, chair and sofa cushions, table scarfs, photograph cases and shopping bags.

Charles JONES is visiting his brother Henry and other relatives in Michigan for a short time. ++ THE CASE OF MR. VAN VALKENBURG. The Niagara Falls 'Courier' says further of the charges against a former teacher at the Institution for the Blind: "Mr. Van VALKENBURG, Superintendent of the Thomas Asylum for Orphans and Destitute Indian children, at Versailles, N.Y., writes us in explanation of complaints from the Tuscaroras regarding the ill treatment of children from this Reservation. Mr. Van VALKENBURG is also President of the Gowanda 'Herald' Publishing Company. Aside from the fact that serious complaints are made we have no information except these explanations which may or may not be accepted, as far as they go, as to minor complaints. It is no doubt true that some of these children are difficult to handle,, and that they will run away to regain the freedom which has always been so fascinating to the race." ++ WHOSE LITTLE BABY BOY? A story was told yesterday that an infant child had been left at the house of peter WEMPLE, a laborer, residing at No. 3 Wiard place, on Saturday evening last. It was said that while the family, who live in the south half of a small double house, were in the front part of the house,some one entered the back door, silently deposited a market basket containing the infant on the floor, and departed. Rumor had it that the WEMPLES knew whom the child belonged to and were to receive compensation for keeping it. This morning a reporter visited Mr. and Mrs. WEMPLE, and upon being ushered into the neat front room the first thing that attracted his attention was a large clothes-basket on the floor near the stove, containing a suspicious looking bundle. The story which had gained currency was repeated to Mr. WEMPLE and he was asked if it was true. "The truth of the matter is just this," he replied. "I was visited Saturday afternoon by a responsible person residing in Batavia who said that he wanted me to take a boy baby and care for it, and he promised me good pay for doing so. My wife had no objection to doing it, and I was willing. Well, Saturday night a person whom I am acquainted with, but my wife doesn't know, came to our back door with the child, and left it, and we are now taking care of it." "When was the child born?" "On Saturday." "Do you know who its parents are or from whose house it came?" "No, that I know nothing about, and don't want to. I am to be well paid for caring for it and it is going to get the best of care." "Is the report that it was brought here in a market basket true?" "I am not going to say anything about that, either. "We have made no secret about this matter," Mr. WEMPLE continued, "and don't intend to. Why, there were eight ladies here yesterday to see the child," and he named several well-known ladies, who, he said were among the number. "Of course," he added, "there are plenty of people who will tell all sorts of stories about this business." Mrs. WEMPLE was in the room while this conversation was being carried on and she expressed the opinion that it was "nobody's business, anyway," and objected to anything being published in regard to it. When the reporter expressed a desire to view the mysterious visitor she quickly acquiesced, however, and laid aside a portion of a quilt that covered the clothes-basket. A chubby-faced, bald-headed little bit of humanity was exposed to view. There he lay contentedly endeavoring to push his little eyes out of his head with his fist, and at the same time engaging himself with the business end of a rubber tube which protruded from a nursing bottle. The little fellow was wrapped in a pink cloth of some soft material. "Why, he's just as good as can be," remarked Mr. WEMPLE. "He hasn't made any trouble at all yet, and only makes a noise when he gets hungry." No certificate of birth in this case has yet been filed with the Clerk of the Board of Health. The regulations of the Board of Health state, however, and they are based on a State law, that "it shall be the duty of the groom in every marriage and of the parents or custodian of every child born, to make sure that the prescribed report of such marriage or birth is presented to the Board of Health or its registering officer within thirty days," under a penalty for failure to do so. ++ submitted by Linda C.

HIRAM SIBLEY DEAD This Well-Known Citizen Goes to his Last Rest Hiram SIBLEY, the aged and well-known citizen whose death had been hourly expected since Monday evening last, passed quietly away at 10:35 o'clock this morning. Mr. SIBLEY did not regain consciousness after he suffered the stroke of apoplexy so that the transition from life to death was gradual and scarcely apparent. His family were about his bedside for the last three days and up to his last moments. A complete and accurate sketch of Mr. SIBLEY's life was published in Tuesday's Union and Advertiser. Mr. SIBLEY was a millionaire many times over and was a remarkable instance of a self-made man. From humble beginnings he rose to a position of wealth and influence. In his seed business, in farming on a large scale and in the telegraph business during its infancy he displayed financial and executive ability of a high order. As a friend of Mr. SIBLEY's said this morning: "He was a man who thoroughly mastered the details of any business he went into. He usually went into some branch of business which nobody else would take hold of and made a grand success of it. He succeeded in everything he undertook. There seemed to be money in everything he touched. In mercantile transactions he was strict. When he gave anything he gave it freely as, for instance, his gifts to Cornell University." Mr. SIBLEY leaves besides his wife, one son Hiram W. SIBLEY and one daughter, Mrs. I.S. AVERELL. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been made. Submitted by: Patricia Stillwell Mims

Rochester, Monroe NY Democrat & Chronicle Jan 30, 1922 2 DUCK HUNTERS LOST ON ICE IN WEEK-END STORM Babylon, L. I., N. Y., Jan. 29 - Coast guards from Fire Island and Oak Island searched all to-day along the shores of Great South Bay and among the islets of the bay for Edmund A. PEARSALL and Jerome B. JEROME, both of East Islip, who started out duck shooting Saturday and failed to return. All night bonfires blazed along the bay, kept burning by anxious friends of the missing men in the hope they might find their way to the beacons, But in view of the snow storm which hung all day over the bay, small hope was felt for the pair when they had not been found to-night. There are several cottages, used by hunters, scattered about the islands in the bay and there was a faint hope left that PEARSALL and JEROME might have found shelter from the storm in one of these. The ice which covered the bay broke up in the high wind during the night and friends and relatives of the missing men feared they had been drowned. They were last seen late Saturday, traveling together in their "scooters," small boats fitted with steel runners for crossing the ice. ** FOUR OUT OF FIVE MEMBERS OF KANSTON FAMILY DEAD Washington, Jan. 29 - Four of the five members of the family of Oscar G.

The WAGNER injunction, Mr. GOMPERS declared, related to violation of contract by employers and was "nothing remarkable" even though it did favor the workers. "It is when the injunction commands the doing of things which workers have a lawful right not to do, or when the injunction forbids the doing of things which the workers have a lawful right to do that labor protests." Mr. GOMPERS continued. ** BODY OF MISSING YOUTH FOUND WIRED BETWEEN TREES Mobile, Ala., Jan 29 - The finding of the charred body of a young white man wired between two pine trees at Bolinger, Ala., has stirred the entire lower section of Choctaw county and appeals have been sent to Governor KILBY asking that a reward be offered for the arrest and conviction of the unknown parties who murdered the man.

Rochester, Monroe NY Democrat & Chronicle Jan 29, 1922 WOMAN LEAPS INTO RIVER; IS RESCUED Taken to Hospital, Where Her Condition Is Said to Be Good While her husband slept, Mrs. Florence MATHEWS, 42 years old, slipped quietly from her home at No. 31 Scottsville road before midnight last night and walked across the meadow north of Elmwood avenue in Genesee Valley Park to the bank of the river. According to the police she walked out on the ice which covers the river near the bank and jumped into the water. Her screams attracted Frank KAISER, of No. 67 Seager street, and Otto GEHRING, of No. 267 Caroline street, who were at the Marquette Canoe Club. They obtained ropes and with some difficulty effected the woman's rescue. An ambulance was called and Mrs. MATHEWS was taken to St. Mary's Hospital. While she is suffering from shock, her condition is said to be good. It is said that Mrs. MATHEWS has been despondent because of illness. ** SUICIDE WANTED HERE Was Believed by Police to Have Engineered Joseph Ave. Robbery William SKUDWICKI, alias SHUDWICK, 28 years old, of Buffalo, was found hanging from a steal bar in his cell in the Orleans county jail at Albion yesterday morning. He had fashioned a crude noose out of (her)? clothes and attached it about his neck. SKUDWICKI was waiting trial in Albion for breaking into William Robinson's general store at Waterport and stealing goods valued at $2,000. Two companions in the burglary were arrested with him. News of SKUDWICKI's suicide was received at police headquarters yesterday by Detective M. J. DOYLE, who sought him in connection with the burglary at the Brody women's garment store in Joseph avenue last fall. SKUDWICKI is alleged to have engineered that burglary, when furs and women's coats, valued at from $3,000 to $5,000 were stolen and carried away in a motor truck. ** ACCUSED OF SHOPLIFTING Jennie and Rose PALLADAM, 35 and 23 years old, of No. 153 Atkinson street, were arrested yesterday afternoon in the Duffy-Powers store for stealing $30 worth of merchandise.

The physician declared that immediate infusion of blood was the only hope and Miss GAPRONI, against her parents' wishes, volunteered here. The operation was a success, both recovered health, but three weeks later the girl contracted pneumonia, attributed to the indirect result of loss of blood. The wedding had been fixed for Christmas Day. ** *Part of some article* TEST OF CONFIDENCE WITHSTOOD The Indians disappeared in the forest. Hours were made long with anxiety. Evening drew nigh, and in the distance appeared the chief with the daughter tripping gaily by his side. The test of confidence had been imposed and withstood, and from that day WHITE knew no friends more faithful than his red brethren. During the year 1780 a trading house was established near Waterloo by Captain Horatio JONES. His son, energetic, bold and skillful with the rifle, joined the regiment commanded by Colonel PIPER, as a fifer. A few months later he enlisted in a company of riflemen known as the Bedford Rangers and commanded by Captain BOYD of the United States Army. A few days later the command was ambushed, a large number killed, and JONES attempted to escape. He was captured, marched for two days without food, and forced to run the gauntlet, which he did successfully. He was adopted into an Indian family, and shared all the privileges of Indian hospitality. He established a trading house within the borders of Seneca, later removing to Geneva. He is said to have sold to John JACOB ASTOR his first lot of furs. He was married in 1789, and removing from Geneva, was the first white man to settle in the town of Leicester. He was the first white settler to raise wheat west of the Genesee river. He was appointed Indian interpreter by President WASHINGTON, a position he held until his death in 1836. SOME EARLY SETTLERS Job SMITH emigrated from Ulster county in 1877, and was the first settler upon the Military Tract. He erected his cabin on the flats at Seneca Falls, now covered with fifty feet of water of VanCleef Lake, near the later site of the upper red mill owned by Colonel MYN?ERSE. He lived alone, trafficked somewhat with the Indians, and was the owner of a yoke of oxen. A party of travelers, passing up the river in 1789, was transported by him around the falls upon a cart whose wheels were sawed entirely from logs. He married a Miss GORHAM at Waterloo and returned to the flats. Two Connecticut traders, bearing a pack of goods, visited the Canoga reservation in 1785 and traded their merchandise for furs. James BENNETT, from Northumberland county, reached the Seneca county border in 1789, and was (parts cut out) choosing a pleasant locality in the now village of Ovid, founded a claim upon the place by right of tomahawk improvements. This consisted of building a pole cabin thatched with bark, the deadening of timber in the vicinity, and the clearing of a small patch of ground. Legally these acts had no force. But they gave a patent to the claim. Unsatisfied with undisputed possession after succeeding well. FAUSSETT sought out the owner of lot No. 88 and purchased two separate parcels of ground of 200 acres each. Among others who sought homes in southern Seneca during 1789 were the DUNLAP brothers, Andrew and Wilson. With them came James WILSON. Arriving in May, Andrew DUNLAP located upon Lot No. 8, in the town of Ovid. He is known as the man whose plow turned the first furrow in breaking for cultivation the soil between the lakes. It was in the latest days of the month that a half acre of ground was tilled and the plot planted with potatoes brought by him for that purpose from his former home on the Susquehanna. But a short time elapsed before Mr. DUNLAP was enabled to make full payment for his lot, and he became the possessor of a fine farm of 600 acres, the value of which was constantly enhanced as time passed. He lived in comfort and independence in his latter days. Parties continued to arrive until in the spring of 1793 more than thirty families were established in the southern part. Groups gathered at Seneca Falls and Scauyase(?), and isolated families at distant points in other locations. James McKNIGHT settled in Varick, David WISNER in Romulus, and Ezekial CRANE in Tyre. There came Elijah KINNE, John SEELEY, Peter HUGHES, Nicholas and Richard HUFF, James DeBOTT, Abraham W. COVERT and Tennis COVERT, the last settlers of 1794. JEMIMA WILKINSON About 1790 the settlers went to Newtown, now known as Elmira, forty miles away, to buy groceries, seed and provisions. Feelings akin to pity and astonishment would steal over those of to-day could they know the incidents of those long and wearisome journeys through the woods on winding roads. They were accustomed to take their grists in canoes and boats across Seneca Lake to a mill near Penn Yan. Among the strange character who made their appearance with early settlers was a woman named Jemima WILKINSON, who rode in style through the streets of Geneva in a coach on whose panels were the mystical characters, "C. F." which translated meant, "universal friend." Some flocked to see her to satisfy curiosity, while others became her followers. Among these latter was a party of settlers that followed the road made by CLINTON from Connecticut and, reaching Geneva, cut for themselves a road to Crooked Lake outlet, and established the mill mentioned above. Samuel BEAR, of Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, was the first settler on the south side of the river in what is now known as Scauyase. Here he established a grist mill in 1794, upon the site of the present "White Mills," erected by the firm of Pierson, Becker and <snip> that's all I got. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Her lovely disposition and gentle, unobtrusive manner, had secured for her many warm and sympathising friends, and made her a favorite with all. For the past few years, she has suffered much from disease, and nought but an unusual flow of spirits could always have made her cheerful and happy.--Ever looking on the bright side of every event of life, (however dark) she constantly shed forth such sweet influences as a buoyant heart and satisfied intellect only can exhibit. By her death, a fond mother and an only sister are left to pursue their journey through life alone, but richly sustained by the consolations of the christian and prospect of a happy reunion in another and brighter world. THE FUNERAL of the little son of Mr. H.A. PALMER, who was drowned yesterday, will take place from the corner of Smith and Oak-sts., to-morrow (Friday) afternoon, at 2 1/2 o'clock. POLICE.---David KIMBALL, Thomas BARON, Edward KING and Mathew MATYSER, were arraigned, charged with neglecting and refusing to support their families according to their ability, respectively. They arranged the matter satisfactorily to the Justice and their familes. There are many cases of this kind, and from the number recently dealt with, it is evident that strict measures are to be taken to compel proper observance of responsibility on the part of this class of recuesnts. Robert POLLARD, drunk at his own home. Fined $10. Catharine DAHANY, came to police office in a state of inebriety, was allowed to stay all night at the station, and discharged in the morning.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 5-1898 - part 1 of 2 Price One Cent GREAT FOURTH AT LE ROY. Elaborate Celebration in that Village - An Unqualified Success in Every Way. Big Crowd Present. Estimated that not Far from 15,000 People Witnessed the Day's Events. Perfect Weather, Interesting Attractions and Admirable Accommodations Combined to Make the Occasion an Enjoyable One--Magnificent Decorations--Sports of the Morning--Big Street Parade with Over 700 Men in Line--Masterly Address by Daniel J. KENEFICK--Balloon Ascension and Parachute Jump--Fireworks in the Evening. Le Roy.--Big crowd, perfect weather, fine attractions, magnificent decorations, successful management--those were the parts that made up the whole. The whole was the greatest day in the history of Le Roy. It was a Fourth-of-July celebration that any city would have good reason to be proud of. Almost every feature on the programme was carried out to the letter, the thousands of visitors were well cared for, and there were no accidents of any consequence. Opinions differed as to the numerical dimensions of the crowd. "I should say that there were over 15,000 here," said Colonel A.W. LAWRENCE, Marshal of the Day. "There are 20,000 people here, if there is one," vigorously asserted Editor E.H. BUTLER of the Buffalo 'News.' "We must be entertaining not far from 15,000 people," remarked Chief Stanley M. SMITH of the Fire department. I never undertook to estimate the number of people in a crowd before," confessed Editor Marcelius of the 'Gazette,' but I should say that we have not far from 15,000 visitors." It is safe to assert that 15,000 was not far out of the way. Pleasure seekers began to arrive by 7:30 a.m. and they were still arriving as late as 8:30 p.m. Thanks to the foresight of the managers the attractions were so distributed that, aside from at the exercises in Trigon park, there were no suffocating crowds at any point. The decorations were very beautiful and elaborate. From Lake street to the bridge Main street was cobwebbed over head with thousands of multi-colored banners on ropes strung across the street. In the evening thousands of Japanese lanterns were suspended from these ropes, making a scene long to be remembered. There was not a place in the business portion of the village which was not more or less elaborately decorated with the Stars and Stripes and bunting, and numerous Cuban flags were seen, among them one large one suspended across Main street. The ironwork on the Main street bridge was fairly covered with bunting. The residence portions of the village had put on a gay appearance, too, the most beautiful decoration in the whole town being at the LAMPSON mansion, recently purchased by E.H. BUTLER of the Buffalo 'News.' Le Royans who were awake between 1 and 2 o'clock yesterday morning and heard the rain pouring down in torrents opined that if the storm didn't last long enough to make the celebration a dismal failure it would take the starch all out of the decorations. But it did neither. The early morning sunshine quickly dried the damp folds of the flags and the drooping festoons of bunting and left their colors as bright as ever. The thick dust in the streets had been thoroughly wet down by the rain, although that, too, became pretty well dried out before nightfall, and a cool breeze which blew from the west from sunup to sundown counteracted the influence of the sun's rays. It was warm enough so that hundreds of shirt waist girls weren't sorry that they hadn't brought along their jackets, before the shades of night had fallen anyway, and it was cool enough so that the man who carried around over 200 pounds of flesh inside of his clothes was able to go home with a little starch left in his boiled shirt. From everybody's standpoint it was an ideal day. There was no excuse for wandering about hungry or thirsty--if you had the every day price. No matter where you were in the business portion of Main street, if you turned toward the outer boundaries of the thoroughfare and walked straight ahead you were pretty sure to run into or up against a place where refreshments of some kind were sold. Bushels on bushels of sandwiches were exchanged for coin and it is probably that enough liquids, hard and soft, were passed over the bars to half fill the Water works stand pipe. But if you didn't have the price of a drink there was no occasion for being thirsty, for every Main street hydrant had been fitted with a small faucet and a tin cup was fastened to it with a chain. And there were amusements galore. Under the very eaves of old Ingham, where sedate girl students strolled in bygone days, a blatant barker held forth, inducing the uninitiated to buck the festive wheel, while on the opposite side of the street, on the banks of the shimmering Oatka, was a platform where rustic swains and their buxom sweethearts tripped the light fantastic all the livelong day. Many fakirs were doing business on streets leading off Main street. A pair of enterprising Batavians who invited the populace to throw hen fruit at the head of a "Spaniard" had their license revoked after 45 dozen eggs had been smashed. While there were many who were carrying heavy loads, everybody was good natured, and the only time that the members of the large force of special policemen didn't feel that their positions were sinecures was when they endeavored to handle the crowd in the vicinity of the Main street bridge while the fireworks display was on. Everybody in the village who wasn't already awake was aroused at 6 a.mm. by the noisy, brass cannon of which the village is the proud possessor and during the next 3 1/2 hours the Reception committee, which had its headquarters at the Eagle hotel, was kept busy meeting visiting organizations at the depots and escorting them to the places where they were to be entertained. At 9:35 a.m. a flag was pulled to the top of the new liberty pole erected in Trigon park, while the Le Roy band played "The Star Spangled Banner" and the gun squad fired a salute. The tub race across the Oatka was one of the things that failed to be a success. Half a dozen started, but their tubs tipped over before they were fairly underway and they waded back to shore. SMITH & BANNISTER of Batavia gave an entertaining exhibition of wire walking and tumbling in Trigon park, but Professor ALLEN didn't go up in his balloon for the reason that his apparatus failed to arrive in time. The 4-mile bicycle road race was run in the morning, with eight starters. The six winners of valuable articles of merchandise in the order named were COCHRAN of Le Roy, McKEON of Mt. Morris, LYNCH of Dansville, RYAN of Mt. Morris, ROSEBERG of Piffard and JOHNSON of Caledonia. COCHRAN's time was 9 minutes, 50 seconds. The parade, the big event of the day, was an imposing possession. There were over 700 people and six bands in line and it was over three quarters of a mile long. It formed on East Main and Church streets, proceeded on Wolcott street to Clay, to Myrtle, to Craige, to Main, to Church, to St. Mark's, to North, to East Main, to Lathrop and countermarched to Trigon park. It was made up as follows: Colonel LAWRENCE, marshal and aids, Le Roy band. Village officers. Staunton Post, G.A.R. Hibernian Rifles, Rochester. Chief SMITH of the Fire Department and assistants and visiting chiefs. Niles band, Springwater. Livonia Hooks. Crystal City Protectives, Livonia. Chemical and Hose company, Le Roy. Citizens' band, Castile. Wallace Hose Company, Castile. Avon band. Avon Hooks. Excelsior Hooks, Le Roy. Mt. Morris band. Active Hose company, Mt. Morris. Tennant Hose company, Caledonia. Chemical Hose company, Caledonia. Oatka Hose company, Le Roy. Geneseo band. Geneseo Hose company. Ancient Order of Hibernians. Odd Fellows. Bicyclists. Bicycle Callithumpian parade. Mounted men. Industrial Floats. Manufacturers and business men represented by the admirably gotten up floats were F.C. Rogers, Kroner & Lapp, McEwen & Cole, the F.W. Miller Manufacturing company, the Randall Fence company, F.O. Reddish & Co., C.F. Prentice, N.B. Keeney & Son, the Vacuum Oil company, F.L.B. Taft, the White Sewing Machine company, Allen S. Olmsted, Dr. Sutterby, F.W. Ruby, the Le Roy Salt company and S.C. Wells & Co. As soon as the parade was over the exercises in Trigon park took place, in the presence of fully 6,000 people. General C. Fitch BISSELL, President of the day, presided. The Rev. G.M. HARRIS offered prayer and "The Star Spangled Banner" was sung by a large choir and played by the bands. After the reading of the Declaration of Independence by Frederick S. RANDALL the choir sang "Red, White, and Blue." The address of the day was then delivered by Daniel J. KENEFICK of Buffalo. It was an admirable effort, sparkling with patriotism, and the eloquent speaker was frequently interrupted by thunderous outbursts of applause. The choir sang, "America" and the assemblage was dismissed with a benediction by the Rev. Father VANDEPOEL. Then there was a band tournament in the park, participated in by the Le Roy, Mt. Morris, and Geneseo bands, in which no prizes were offered; Professor SMITH gave a daring exhibition on a cable stretched over the Oatka and Professor ALLEN went up in his balloon, making a very pretty parachute descent about a mile southeast of the village. The day's events closed with a magnificent display of fireworks in the Beechnut lot on the east bank of the Oatka south of the Main street bridge. The portraits of McKINLEY, DEWEY and others were loudly applauded and the crowd went wild over the mammoth piece depicting the destruction of the Maine. The display was supervised by Fred RAMSDELL of Batavia. The Hooks entertained the Avon Hooks and Active Hose company of Mt. Morris; the Chemicals, Wallace Hose company and the Livonia Hooks, and the Oatkas, Tennant Hose company, the Caledonia Chemicals and Geneseo Hose company. Hibernians from Rochester, Batavia, Bergen and Pavilion were entertained by Le Roy Division of that order and Odd Fellows from Batavia, Bergen, Byron and Pavilion were entertained by Le Roy Lodge. A large number of firemen were informally but royally entertained by Editor BUTLER at his residence late in the afternoon. ++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
