Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 3, 1849 MELANCHOLY SUICIDE AT OSWEGO - A young man named James PLATT, a son of the late Levi PLATT of Plattsburg, about 22 years of age, committed suicide by shooting himself at the City Hotel in Oswego, on Monday last. The Oswego Times says: - This young man of fine education and address, was preparing through the day to leave in the 5 o'clock boat for Buffalo, and after dinner took leave of his acquaintances formed at the Hotel, with his accustomed flow of spirits and good feeling, nobody suspecting anything out of the way. He had packed his trunk, and directed the porter to call at his room and take it to the steamboat, at about 4 o'clock. At a little after this hour, PLATT entered his room, and a few minutes after the porter followed, and found him sitting in his chair shot directly through the heart and already dead, the pistol laying on the floor. On his table were found two letters addressed to different persons, one of which was to the Coroner, saying that he need have no trouble or suspicion of any one, as his death was caused by his own premeditated act. An inquest was held by Mr. Coroner STEWART on the body, which rendered a verdict, "that James L. PLATT came to his death by his own hand, with a pistol, the ball passed between the fifth and sixth ribs, through the centre of his heart, causing instant death." The following is a copy of the note to the Coroner referred to above. "Oswego, N. Y., April 23, 1849. To the Coroner of the City: - Sir: I pen these few lines with a view of informing you, that when you hold an inquest upon my body, you may labor under no doubt as to the cause of my decease, inasmuch as I fell by my own hand. With much respect, I am Sir, in my last moments, yours, very truly JAMES PLATT, 2d." ** YOUTHFUL ENTERPRISE - A female, aged 11 years, and weighing 116 pounds, was recently married by a magistrate of Fairfield, S.

The young woman, however, says she will stand by her liege lord in spite of the law. ** FATAL ACCIDENT - The Sandusky Mirror, of the 23d inst., says: "An assistant Engineer on the steamer America, was killed by the engine during her last trip up, on Saturday night. In working about the engine he got in the way of the crank, which struck him so severe a blow that he died from the effect of it in about twenty minutes. — We did not learn his name. He belonged at Detroit. ** RUNAWAY - A span of horses belonging to Mr. C. MORSE, ran away from his store on Front street, yesterday forenoon, drawing the lumber wagon to which they were attached, up Buffalo street at a furious speed. They were brought up in their career, by coming in contact with the rear of a loaded wagon in front of the Arcade. One of the horses fell across the tongue of the wagon, breaking his leg so badly as to render him worthless— the other was secured without injury. ** HIGH WAGES - It is stated that in consequence of the increased number of boats now plying on the Missouri river, there is such a scarcity of pilots, that good ones are hardly to be obtained, and enormous wages asked by them. >From $300 to $350 have been given for the trip to St. Joseph, occupying usually less than ten days. ** AN EDITOR KILLED- A telegraphic despatch says that Edward FITZGERALD, the springhtly editor of the "Philadelphia Item," was on Monday thrown from a horse and killed. ** The wife of Truman SMITH, of Connecticut, died recently at Philadelphia. She was a lady of excellent character, and an accomplished mind. ** The Value of Skeletons - Among the entries recorded upon the books of the custom House on Tuesday last, was the following: - "1 case skeletons - Value $79." The Express says - "Comment, of course, is superfluous. One knows, now, what his ‘mortal coil' is worth after it is shuffled off into a seven-by-nine candle box and assessed ad valorem. Horrid ! We should like to hear further from that box!" ** PAINFUL ACCIDENT - We regret to state that our worthy citizen, Capt. Ebenezer ELY, was seriously injured by being thrown from his buggy, near the Rapids, on Wednesday. The horse took fright and became unmanageable. Mr. ELY received several severe wounds on the head, but we have not yet learned his exact situation. ** ANOTHER ACCIDENT - Henry L. FISK, Esq., of this city, had a narrow escape while riding on the Pittsford road, last Wednesday. The bolt which held the whippletree came out, and the horse became frightened and ran, throwing the buggy into a creek by the road-side. Mr. and Mrs. FISK, who were in the buggy, escaped without serious injury with a little hydropathic treatment. ** DEATH OF WALTER OSTROM OF BROCKPORT - A party of six, of which Walter OSTROM, of Brockport, was one of the number, left that place some time since for California. They proceeded as far as Vera Cruz, when a part of their company was taken sick, and one of them returned home from that place. The others proceeded to Panama, where young OSTROM was taken with the yellow fever and died. During his sickness he was taken care of by Mr. George PIERSON, one of the party, the other three proceeding on their way. — Mr. PIERSON has returned to Brockport, after paying the last tribute of respect to his deceased friend. The deceased was a young man of about 20 years of age, and highly esteemed by all who knew him. ** FIRE IN JEFFERSONVILLE - PENITENTIARY DESTROYED - A fire broke out at 4 o'clock P. M., on the 24th ult., in the cooper's shop attached to the Jeffersonville (Indiana) Penitentiary, which was totally destroyed, together with the large hemp shop and several other minor buildings. — Loss not known. ** FIRE IN CALEDONIA - We learn that the dwelling house of Mr. Dugald THOMPSON in the town of Caledonia, about four miles from the village on the York road, with its contents was destroyed by fire on Monday.

We have not ascertained whether there was any insurance. ** FAILURE - Bishop DOANE of New Jersey has failed for $250,000, and is said to be able to pay only a trifling portion of his vast liabilities. Most of this money is said to have been spent in building church and chapels. The fortune of Mrs. DOANE, formerly Mrs. PERKINS of Boston, is not involved in this crash. Her income is said to be $12,000 per annum. ** Edwin FORREST, the celebrated American Tragedian, has lately separated from his wife, the daughter of Sinclair the vocalist. The New York Sunday Atlas gives a long account of the difficulties which led to the result, but they are of a domestic nature, and not the property of the public. ** MELANCHOLLY SUICIDE - Dr. Charles G. CHAPMAN, of Brooklyn, committed suicide in that city on Sunday morning, by cutting his throat with a razor. Cause, mental depression, or partial insanity. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

In case these cells are so classed the plumbing rules are being violated. If they are not, the work can go on as planned. The matter was brought to the attention of the Board of Health at its recent meeting, but no action was taken, and Inspector ELLIOTT declared that he would again bring the matter officially before the board at its next regular meeting.

His cigar went out. He lighted a fresh one and flipped his match carelessly to the sidewalk. "See what you've done," exclaimed the woman with him, as she saw the lace on her dress burning. Together they smothered the flaming garment. As they walked to a nearby doorway so that the woman might arrange her apparel, smoke and flames began to curl through crevices in the iron door that gives entrance from the street to the basement of the store of Scrantom, Wetmore & Company. The fire under the street, and not the match had ruined the woman's skirt. When the doors were forced open by policemen the flames shot upward for yards and before the fire companies responded it looked as if the blaze had gained ground. A single stream however, extinguished the fire. Empty boxes were stored in the cellar. Little damage was done, the fire being confined to the front of the basement. Chief CREEGAN was unable to explain the fire. ** ROBBED OF ROLL OF $750 Mason Contractor Touched Soon After He Leaves Bank Emil KOHLER, a mason contractor living at No. 297 Orchard street, was robbed of $750 yesterday noon, probably in one of the elevators in the Wilder building.

Rochester Daily Democrat Rochester, Monroe County, New York Friday, January 28, 1842 POLICE. Justice Warner, Presiding. STEALING CLOTHES.----Elizabeth WANN and Ann MULIMER were arraigned for stealing female clothing from the premises of Dr. CHIPMAN and Ezekiel FOX, and committed for further examination. The clothes were taken from both places, we believe, three or four months since, and a part of them were found on the persons of the girls.-- Ann, it may be recollected, figuered very conspicuously during the trial of a certain legal gentleman, charged with a severe crime, some months since. STEALING PIGS.----Robert PROVOST, a yellow covey, may be a gentile, but he is certainly not a Jew, if we are to judge him by his partiality for hog flesh. Bob is peculairly fastidious about this kind of meat. Your stout porkers, weighing from 250 to 400 pounds, he has the greatest aversion to. After hanging about the market and the wagons from the country, for some time, to obtain his winter supply of the tender, delicious article, without success, he recollected having seen, during his rambles, two fine, plump pigs, belonging to Samuel DOTY, on High street, and thither he repaired on saturday, and having succeeded in finding the young porkers, drove them home, knocked them in the head, and dressed them in his garret. To this proceeding Mr. DOTY took exceptions, and Const. GOODRICH was authorized to greet Bob "in the name of the people." After a long examination this morning, in which most of the witnesses were "brack ladies and gemmen ob color," Bob was sent to the Island, to await further orders. ASSAULTING AN EXPRESS.----Christopher SIMMONS was arraigned for an assault and battery on Henry WELLS, an agent of Pomeroy's Express, committed at the railroad depot between 4 and 5 o'clock yesterday morning, soon after the arrival of the cars from the east. Christopher is a porter of the U.S. Hotel, and among the passengers whom he solicited to take the omnibus for that house, were a gentleman and lady from Vermont, whose baggage had previously been delivered to the porter of the Eagle Hotel. They seemed to hesitate as to which omnibus to take, when Mr. WELLS remarked that "he was going to the Eagle." To this Christopher replied, that Mr. W. had some sinister motive in persuading passengers to go to the Eagle; that "he would either get his breakfast free, or 50 cents in change." Words ensued between the two, when Christopher clinched Mr. W., who was cumbered with a buffalo robe and a carpet bag, and threw him down two or three times, and kicked him once in his face, without apparent attempt on his part to injure the assaulter. These we believe to be the essential particulars of the affray. Christopher was required to give bail in the sum of $200, which was readily procured. Submitted by Sharon Palm

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State April 22-1891 MR. RUPPRECHT MAY BUILD A BARN. Ex-Mayor George RUPPRECHT is contemplating building a mammoth livery barn on his vacant lot just east of St. James' church, instead of two dwelling houses, as he believes it would be a better investment. If he decides to erect the barn it will be built under the direction of Dennis K. CHADDOCK, who will rent it for a livery and sales stable. It will be of brick, three stories high, the first for stabling, the second for the livery horses and carriages and the third for hay and storage, and will be modeled somewhat after an immense barn in Buffalo, which accommodates 400 horses. The stables and standing room combined will accommodate nearly 300 horses. ++ MARION INVESTORS SELL OUT. It is stated that all the gentlemen interested in the Marion Land Syndicate of Batavia, except J.C. GUITEAU and William CARPENTER, have disposed of their interests in Marion to C.F.

HUTCHINS, on Wednesday evening, but the deal has been kept very quiet. ++ MRS. ANN BARTHOLF DEAD. The death of Mrs. Ann N. BARTHOLF, widow of William BARTHOLF, occurred at 1 o'clock this afternoon at the home of her niece, Mrs. William DEMING, on Ganson avenue.

The answer came quickly: 'Why, that is our new shoe factory; there are over two hundred and fifty people employed there, and they all dress well and behave as well as they dress.' Evidently the shoe factory and the people employed in it are a valuable addition to the business and population of our sister village." ++ CORNELL EXAMINATIONS.

PALMYRA DEMOCRAT Palmyra, Wayne Co., NY Wednesday, October 10, 1888 The Grand Reception Last Friday evening the Lyons Republican Ring held a grand reception in honor of Warner MILLER, who addressed the immense concourse of people assembled in the Court House in that exquisitly beautiful and scrupulously clean village. The managers of the Ring issued invitations to several Republican drill corps to be present on this momentous occasion; and, in compliance with the invitation, so magnanimously extended, the clubs from Newark, Palmyra and Macedon doned their regalias, filled their lamps, and proceeded, via the 6:23 West Shore train, to answer the call of that more than generous, open-handed, free-hearted, Lyons Republican Ring. On arriving at that beautiful city, these various organizations (many of the members of which had quit their various occupations and went immediately to the depot without waiting for supper, supposing that the Ring, out of the abundance of its political pap, would at least furnish them with a doughnut and a cup of cold water,) were formed! in line, and after standing there for near a half-hour, were finally met by a single horseman leading a band. The companies; with Palmyra drill corps at right of line, then marched through the principal streets, lighting up the mud-holes and yelling themselves hoarse over the Ring illuminations, finally brought up in close order in front of the Court House. Here the question was asked by the Captains of the several companies, "Where is the Reception Committee?" Echo answered, whare? In order to answer this intricate problem, 1st Lieu't of Palmyra company was detailed to find the committee. He forced himself through the crowd, into the auditorium, and up to the platform, where he found the President of the Lyons club, in company with leading magnates of the Ring, comfortably seated, and listening with much pleasure to the music of a fine glee club, the eloquent words of gifted orators, while their invited guests, the bone and sinew of the party, men who do the hard work! , men on whom they rely for the votes to elect their candidates to county offices on the sixth day of November next; were standing out in the street, in mud, ancle deep, while a cold, drizzling rain made them feel very cross-grained. The Lieutenant asked those proud leaders what arrangements had been made for the reception of his and other companies; in reply, he was answered, Nothing! He was told to dismiss his company, and let the men refresh themselves as best they could. Lucky for them, they all had money, earned in honest toil, and immediately proceded to do so; after which they wandered about in the darkness, illuminating the village by the light of their torches until time for the departure of a special train the Republicans of Palmyra had taken the trouble to secure. Perhaps the Lyons Ring think they made a large number of friends by the fine reception tendered the guests from this part of Wayne county; but that delusion would have quickly vanished had they been! present at the departure of that west bound train. A Horse Who Can Talk? Everybody has heard of a "horse laugh" but who has ever seen an equine gifted with the power of speech? such an animal would be pronounced a miracle; but so would the telegraph and telephone have been a hundred years ago. Why, even very recently a cure for consumption would have been looked upon as miraculous, but now people are begining to realize that the disease is not incurable.

CLARKE For President---J. S. HORTON For Trustees-- PORTER K. HOLDEN, WILLIS BOWER For Collector--H. A. NORTON For Treasurer--FRANK VANDERHOEF WELL KNOWN IN ELMIRA Ben PORTER, the accomplished actor,was shot dead in Texas night before last, as described below. He has played i Elmira many times, and was in the cast the first time "Divorse" was played. He was a fine actor, and the stage has lost one of its shining lights.

SHE CAN, BUT SHE WON'T Few girls, when they have a chance to sum up a case to a young man, know exactly how to do it. The following example, taken from the Louisville JOURNAL, may be of use: "You have asked me pointedly if I can marry you, and I have answered you pointedly that I can. I can marry a man who makes love to a different girl every month. I can marry a man whose main occupation seems to be to join in a gauntlet in front of churches and theatres, and comment audibly on the people who are compelled to pass through it. I can marry a man whose only means of support is an aged father. I can marry a man who boasts that any girl can be won with help of a good tailor and an expert tongue. I can marry such a man, but I w-o-n-t!" submitted by Pat Wainwright
