Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union June 13, 1925 GOES RAVING MAD IN CELL; FIGHTS WITH POLICEMEN Henry SMITH, address unknown, and believed to have escaped from the State Industrial School at Industry, became a raving maniac shortly before 10 o'clock this morning in a cell at police headquarters in Exchange street. He tore every shred of clothing from his body and shouting ‘I didn't kill her. I didn't kill her" fought wildly when policemen and St. Mary's ambulance attendants tried to calm him and put him in the ambulance. He was finally overcome and taken to the County Hospital where he now lies strapped tight to his bed, raving. According to report the lad was picked up early this morning by Detective NORMAN. He had come into Rochester riding the bumpers on the Lehigh Railroad and was found in Mt. Hope avenue. For a time he rested quietly in his cell and then, suddenly, he shouted and went violently mad. The ambulance was summoned and by the time it arrived the man was totally nude and fighting mad. He clung to the bars of the cell, shouting all the time that he had not killed someone. Detective WOODHEAD and Motorcycle Policeman George LYONS entered the cell and finally subdued him, fastening handcuffs about his ankles and wrists, in the ambulance he was strapped to a stretcher with blankets. Last night a report was made at police headquarters that a Rush woman had been tied to her chair, in her home by a boy who had escaped from Industry, beaten and left unconscious. The boy is said to have stolen the woman's husband's clothes and made his escape in an automobile. The police are investigating the report and attempting to determine if the lad now in the County Hospital has any connection with the Rush affair. ** FAMILIES FROM HOUSE; SEVERAL SMALL BLAZES Fire of undetermined origin drove two families into the streets shortly after midnight last night and did about $50 damage to the two-story apartment house at 100 Ontario street. The blaze broke out in a partition beside a stairway leading to the attic above the apartment of Frank C. BELL, who occupies the second floor flat. Dominick PROVENZANO and his family live in the downstairs apartment. Both families left their quarters and began taking out household goods. Firemen, responding to a box alarm, soon extinguished the flames. * A series of small fires and one of larger proportions kept firemen busy between 5 and 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. A blaze caused by a grate fire and a defective chimney in the home of H. C. COHN at 61 Westminster road did about $700 damage. One hose line and chemicals were employed by Battalion Fire Chief MORAN and companies in extinguishing the blaze. A box alarm, sent in from Main street east and Gibbs street, when an automobile backfired and burst into flames, called several downtown companies to that location shortly before 6 o'clock. Damage was slight. Another alarm brought fire companies to South avenue and Byron street when gasoline was lighted by a careless driver was his automobile caught fire. Damage was slight. Shortly after 5 o'clock another automobile caught fire at Court and South Union streets and fire companies were called. ** AUTO HITS POLE William Snook Hurt In Crash Near York Man Believed To Be Frank Leonard in Hospital in Unconscious Condition as Result of Having Been Run Down by Dewey Avenue Trolley Car — Heavy Weight Inflicts Serious Injuries. William SNOOK, about 30, of 1,523 Lake avenue, is at the General Hospital at the point of death with his skull fractured, his left arm broken in five places and internal injuries, the results of an automobile accident which occurred early this morning at a curve in the road a few miles from York. SNOOK was rushed to the General Hospital in the automobile of Dr. Charles CROMWELL of Retsof, who gave him first aid treatment following the crash. The automobile was totally wrecked. Another man in the back seat of the car escaped without injury. His name was not ascertained. According to Dr. CROMWELL, the automobile must have been traveling at a high rate of speed. When it came to the curve it shot straight ahead, into a ditch at the side of the road, in which it ran for some 100 yards. From the tracks in the earth it appeared that the driver then attempted to avoid hitting a telephone pole and failed. The pole was snapped off and the car whirled around it, coming to a stop, throwing the driver and his companion who, up to the time of the accident had been asleep in the back seat, to the ground. RUN DOWN BY TROLLEY A man believed to be Frank LEONARD, 32, of 316 Emerson street, is also at the General Hospital today, in an unconscious condition and suffering from a fractured skull as the result of having been run down by a Dewey avenue trolley car within a block of his home early this morning. The name and address given was found on a card in one of his pockets. He is not expected to live. BADLY HURT BY WEIGHT Joseph MORO, 19, of Caledonia, is at Homeopathic Hospital today in a critical condition, suffering from a fractured pelvis and possible internal injuries received late yesterday afternoon when a 700-pound weight fell upon him as he was at work in the Empire Gypsum Works. He was pinned to the floor by the heavy weight. Little hope is entertained for his recovery. GIRL STRUCK BY AUTO Lilly GARNFALO, 7, of 285 Saxton street, suffered a fractured leg and possible internal injuries late yesterday afternoon when she was struck by an automobile while crossing the street in front of 406 Jay street. She was taken to the General Hospital in the ambulance. The child ran out from behind one automobile, directly into the path of another, driven by James BURNS, 19, of 4 Geneva street. Witnesses exonerated the driver. KNOCKED DOWN BY AUTO Arthur MORRINELLI, 6, of 10 Marietta street, was knocked to the street last night by an automobile in front of his home. The child was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital for treatment of bad brush burns and bruises. He was later taken to his home. The machine was driven by Sam SALIE of 390 Clinton avenue north. KNOCKED FROM BICYCLE William HAWRICH, 14, of 66 Ernst street, suffered a broken wrist last night when he was knocked from his bicycle by an automobile driven by Joseph SEDON, 21, of 94 Pulaski street, at Hudson avenue and Durnan street. The boy was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital. RUN DOWN BY AUTO Angelo FRANK, 2, of 69 Niagara street, was run down last night by an automobile driven by Andrew WITZ of 240 Central park. The accident occurred in front of the child's home and after treatment at a physician's office he was taken home. FALLS DOWN STAIRS Tony BORIELLI, 55, of 364 Clinton avenue north, suffered a possible fracture of two ribs when he fell down stairs at his home early this morning. He was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital in the ambulance. RAILROAD MAN SCALDED D. L. COTTON of 75 Butternut street, Lyons, was boiling water in the round house of the New York Central railroad in Atlantic avenue, last night. The water boiled over and scalded him badly.

PALMYRA DEMOCRAT Palmyra, Wayne Co., NY Wednesday, October 10, 1888 "Dads" Last Ride There was probably no better known person in Palmyra than Morris D. HU?LEY, better known as "Dad." He was a character that distinctly belonged to this place having been a resident here for sixty-two years, having removed here with his parents when but five years old. In the early days of the canal he was one of the first that drove a team for the old packet line. When the railroad was built through Palmyra "Dad" was there to meet the first train with his buss. He has continued to drive his buss for thirty-five years to the New York Central depot, and his acquaintance with the traveling public was probably greater than any man on the road. During the fore part of last summer he received a paraletic shock that prostrated him for some time, although he never fully recovered. During the past year he has been confined to his house the most of the time. During the past two weeks he grew worse until his death which took place on Thursday last at 67 years of age. The funeral! which took place on Sunday last was largely attended by those who had known him during his life. His old buss draped in mourning drawn by two white horses preceded his remains in the funeral procession carrying the pallbearers and minister. He leaves besides a faithful wife, three daughters, Mrs. B.A. MOORE, of Syracuse, Mrs. W.F. PECK, of Rochester, and Lizzie who is unmarried and resides at home, also two sons, Chas. C. of this place and Freemon T. of Amsterdam. Macedon There is a considerable sickness in our town at present, the prevaling disease being malarial fever and keuralgia.

Her body was thrown several feet and was badly mangled, Mrs. BREWSTER boarded at the home of Lewis BRUMBER. She is survived by a daughter, her mother, a brother and four sisters. The body was taken to the Bohm mortuary, but it was not until 10 o'clock Sunday morning that the remains were identified, Mrs. BREWSTER'S non-arrival home during the night caused the BRUMBER family to make an investigation, and when it was learned that a woman had been killed, they went to the mortuary and made the identification. ** THE SOCIAL CHRONICLE The Rochester Garden Club will hold its annual meeting, luncheon and election of officers for the ensuing year at the Century Club on Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 1 o'clock.

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State January 25-1878 part 1 Alabama.--Moses VAIL and wife have returned from their bridal tour to Canada. James CRAFT is home again from Northern Michigan, where he has been for the past three weeks. The meetings of both churches are to be continued during the week. Considerable interest is manifested. Wm. PRICE is very sick with inflammation of the lungs. A donation for the benefit of Rev. E.J. COOK, was held at the Frary's Hall on Tuesday evening, Jan. 22d. Rumors of changes of real estate ownership are prevalent. When something definite occurs you will be informed. The lecture of Bob INGERSOLL at Troy, is being circulated quite extensively and read at the P.O., causing considerable discussion, and some other cussin'. The donation for Rev. L.S. STOWELL was a very enjoyable occasion, resulting in about $80 for his benefit. The concert given by the Akron Musical Association on Wednesday evening, the 13th inst., at the M.E. church, for the benefit of the organ fund, was a very excellent one, but for lack of sufficient notice was not as largely attended as it should have been. It is hoped that it will be repeated soon. Somebody with a full check but empty stomach, stole a crock of oysters from Dr. C.A. YOUNG. Subsequently, the empty crock was found on F.A. PIXLEY's store steps with a note as follows: Dr. YOUNG--Please put in another gallon of oysters and leave them in the same place. You dassent do it, you know you dassent. The doctor says he won't be dared in this way, and will replace the oysters as soon as possible. ++ Alexander.--Not having seen anything in your paper from this quiet little town for some time, I thought perhaps a few words as to matters generally might be appropriate. Our cheese factory closed operations for the season about the last of November, having made about 54,000 pounds more cheese than the previous season. The business has been quite remunerative to both the dairymen and stockholders. The price obtained for cheese was nearly one cent per pound more, on the average, than the previous season. The Secretary of the Factory has promised to send you for publication a detailed statement of the business. Our merchants are all doing a good business, and have sold a larger amount of goods for the past year, than any one year for some time previous. There seems to be considerable activity in the grocery trade just now, and prices are very low for everything in the grocery line. Everybody is therefore taking advantage of the low prices, and laying in a good supply for future use. Your neighbor, Spirit of the Times, seems to have rather a large "sell" from a correspondent from this place, in his last week's issue, all about the discovery of a cave on the farm of one GARDNER. The only discovery that is known to have been made is in the cranium of the correspondent, though on a much smaller scale than the cave mentioned. The shell is there and the skeleton also. We have two deaths to record during the past week--that of Mrs. Sarah WALSH and Mrs. Sarah DAY. The funeral services of each occurred at the same hour last Sabbath afternoon. ++ Batavia prices on Rubber Goods discounted 2 to 10 per cent at Hundredmark's, Elba. ++ West Bethany.--We learn that Clark NEWTON lost $18 worth of silver and other ware in the school-house fire. The school, which was progressing so finely under the care of Miss Kittie BURKE, will now meet for the remainder of the term at the cheese factory. Mr. Daniel BROWN, our energetic blacksmith, is getting out a patent on sleigh-knees. They are made of malleable iron, and said to be a great improvement on wooden knees. That entertainment held at the church on Friday evening last was a grand affair. The acting was well done, the pieces well rendered, the music first-class, and the supper--yum! yum!--was a feast of good things. ++ Elba.--Jonas HALSTED has purchased the house and lot of Andrew CRAFT, and will occupy it in April. Andrew takes the place now occupied by Mr. TIBBETS. Mr. BROWN, our hardware dealer, had the misfortune to burn one of his hands quite severely last week. But it is doing well, and he is pushing business with his accustomed energy. Elijah BUCK, of whose dangerous illness mention was recently made, died on the 17th. He was one of the oldest settlers of the town, and has been intimately identified with the development of the country from its wilderness state. As a citizen, a husband and a father, he bore an excellent character, and leaves an honored name to posterity. ++ East Oakfield.--Some good writing master, with a little effort, could secure a large number of pupils in this place. Our Literary Society held at the school house on Thursday night of each week, is proving to be useful and instructive as well as entertaining. Mr. Geo. W. HAXTON is teaching the Oakfield corners school with good success. Mr. Allen SAFFORD has charge of the North Oakfield school, and has the reputation of a first-class teacher--ditto, George. The sixty minstrels as reported failed to put in an appearance on the 17th inst., but the performance by HUBURT and his band, accompanied by music discoursed by members of the Elba brass band, was one that was highly enjoyed by both old and young, and reflects credit to the getters up of the entertainment. ++ Card.--J.A. BARRINGER, M.D., physician for Catarrh, Scrofula, Lung, Liver and Kidney disease, and all obscure and long-continued diseases. Office over WRIGHT's Drug Store, every Wednesday from 1 to 3 P.M. N.B.--New and sure Catarrh cure. ++ Darien City.--The M.E. church society commenced holding their course of revivals last week, and will continue them as long as there is a good attendance. The donation for the benefit of Rev. W.B. CLIFF was held at Riddle Hall and M.E. church last Thursday evening. The roads being good there was a large turnout. The proceeds amounted to $174. Mr. J. GOULD and family were coming to the City one day recently, and in turning a corner the wheels of their carriage began to slide, which resulted in two smashed wheels, and a promiscuous piling up of the family in the road. No one was seriously injured. ++ North Byron.--There will be a Sunday-School concert at the Free Will Baptist church here, Sunday evening, Feb. 3d. All are invited. Rev. Chas. PUTNAM, our pastor, has been obliged to discontinue labor, because of ill health. He has a severe cough, is weak and emaciated. That he may speedily recover is the earnest wish of all. ++ East Bethany.--Dan. WORTHINGTON is slowly recovering from a protracted illness. Mr. Wm. WRIGHT recently returned from the West in feeble health. Mrs. B.F. PECK is still in the West visiting numerous friends. Rev. Mr. MARCELLUS, of Le Roy, occupied the pulpit in the Brick church last Sabbath very acceptably. Our winter school with Mr. Ezra RUMSEY at its head, is progressing finely. Mr. Charles HOSMER has been laboring here in the cause of temperance the past week successfully. About 200 names have been added to the MURPHY pledge. The re-organization of the Ladies' Mite Society took place last Thursday evening at the house of G.M. PECK. About 40 members were present. B.F. PECK is selling and shipping to various points in the West from his prize herd of Devons. Success to is efforts in improving that class of stock. Mr. PECK takes the front seat with his imported Devons. Mr. John WOODRUFF, of Le Roy, addressed a full house on the subject of temperance last Saturday evening. He will speak here again next Saturday evening. He will speak here again next Saturday evening. He is an able and enthusiastic worker in the cause. The Le Roy Glee Club are engaged to furnish music on the occasion. ++ The Rochester Opera House Company will bring all scenery to set the plays off to their best advantage. This with the full orchestra ought to ensure a full house both nights for the Firemen's benefit, the 29th and 30th . ++ Bergen.--The Rev. D.K. MILLARD, of Tecumseh, Mich., preached in the Congregational church last Sunday. He will preach again next Sunday. The cold snap of Wednesday came very opportunely for SOUTHWORTH & TONE, for they have probably $3,000 worth of dressed hogs which were in danger of being spoiled by the mild weather. S.K. GREEN is to be congratulated on the advent of eleven pounds of son and heir on Sunday afternoon last. Ship. WHITE is tired of paying rent, and proposes to build a house for himself in the spring on his lot north of the village. Work has begun on the cellar. The meetings in the school-house north came to a close last week. A few profess conversion. The Rev. H.C. WOODS preached at the meetings three times last week. Last Monday evening seven of the young married couples in the village treated James M. GOODWIN and wife to a surprise. The company brought their own refreshments, and very soon a bountiful table was spread. Those surrounding the table showed their faith in the viands by their works; the good things were tucked away with neatness and dispatch, and the board was truly a festive one. After supper it was decided to organize a club, to be known as the "Monday Night Collar Club," of which more next week. Edgar D. CAMPBELL, eldest son of Alexander CAMPBELL, died on Monday last, aged 31 years. In 1864 the deceased went to Missouri, where by overwork and exposure various diseases were contracted, consumption among them. About three years since he returned to Bergen. ++ Le Roy.--A new walk is greatly needed on the west side of Church street. Mr. Walter SMITH and bride arrived home Tuesday noon. Le Roy claims the best billiard player of the county. M. ROSS is manufacturing some of the finest harnesses ever seen in town. Rev. Mr. McKINLEY, of Warsaw, occupied the Presbyterian pulpit last Sabbath morning and evening. The frequent visitant at the "cooler" prove that the Le Roy Democracy is not dead yet. A movement is in progress to alter the road leading from Church street to North street. Should this be done, it would be a valuable improvement. The "Musicale" at Mr. MODISETTE's passed off as usual, very pleasantly. The amount realized goes to Reading Parlors. Col. L. CALDWELL, of Elmira, spoke on Wednesday evening in Moloney Hall, for the benefit of the Reform Club. His address was stirring and eloquent. One of the most enjoyable skating parties of the winter occurred on Saturday night. The moon was very bright, the evening warm and the ice smooth. M. WILCOX, the genial proprietor of the "Eagle," is manufacturing his own cigars. He employs about five men and makes nothing cheaper than $65 a thousand. Rev. Mr. WILKINSON again preached in the Baptist church. We greatly admire his style, his manner of treatment, his deep research and strong reasoning. The second social of the fifth annual series will be held at the LAMPSON House on Friday evening. WAHLE, of course, furnishes the music. The success which has attended these during the past five years is ample proof of their merit. The "beginning" of our brass band made its first appearance on the streets on Thursday night. Only five players came out, but they did exceedingly well, and we have great hopes of a first-class organizations. Dr. EATON has invented what he calls his "Coal Economizer." A substance is dissolved in water and sprinkled on the coal. From a fair trial we candidly pronounce it a decided success. More heat from less coal because the clinkers are consumed. No gas and a brighter fire. One of the most disgraceful things which has happened in Le Roy for some time was the cock-fight which took place in the old saloon owned by CHAMBERLAIN. We were told that the performance lasted till five o'clock in the morning. That such things should happen under the very eyes of public officials, without notice, is a disgrace to them and to the town. ++ South Batavia.--Chicken lifters and corn-thieves abound in these parts, so look well to your surroundings. Our school, under the instruction of Miss Jennie KUHN, is progressing finely. She is well adapted to the calling. Mr. Higby FOSTER started on Tuesday morning to seek a home in the far southwest. Arkansas is his destination. We are sorry to have him leave us. MYERS and RHINEHOLTZ are the boss woodcutters of this section. They cut and cord up from the standing trees from 7 to 8 cords of 18-inch wood in 10 hours every day. What say your Bethany choppers to that? Returning home from a neighbor's about 10 o'clock the other evening we discovered a man leaving our house in a good deal of a hurry. A loaded revolver occupied a prominent position at the head of our bed that night, but we were not molested. W.W. PLATO's house was made joyous on Friday evening last, by a large social gathering of the elite of this vicinity. HUN's full orchestra was in attendance, and furnished their stirring music to the tripping of the light fantastic, till the small hours. It was a gay time and highly enjoyed. ++ ~ this issue to be cont'd. ~ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
