Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Sat Aug 10, 1889 WESTERN NEW YORK NEWS ALLEGANY Rushford's New School Trustees - An Improved Mail Service H. A. HOLDEN, M. CLAUS, L. E. HARDY and J. G. JAMES, are the newly elected trustees of the Rushford school. The tax ratio was the same last year as the year before; the teachers were paid higher wages and two extra employed part of the time, but there is more money left in the treasury, than any year for some time, the reason being increased attendance, and pay from foreign pupils. This shows that it is cheaper to have a good school than a poor one. The same teachers have been employed for the coming year. -H. A. HOLDEN, of Friendship, is a candidate for member of Assembly. -The people of Caneadea and adjoining towns are to have a grand picnic August 13th. Rushford Band will furnish the music. -Among the many visitors at Rushford are Professor and Mrs. McKEE, Mr. and Mrs. GAGE, of Topeka, Kansas, Albert WADE, wife and daughter, of Alton, Ill., G. B. HOLLAND and wife, of Pittsburg, Pa., Mrs. L. ARMISON and daughter, of Maninee, O., and Mrs. E. C. HARDY and sons, of Hornellsville, N. Y. -The mail is to be carried over the new route from Rushford to Canaedea, August 22nd, 1889. By this route nearly all mail will be received one day earlier. This will be the case with Rochester mail and as the bulk of business is with that city, its advantages will be appreciated by Rochester. ** ORLEANS Medina Will Raise $6,000 by Tax for School Purposes -Misses PARISH and STRATTON, of Medina, have returned from the sea shore. -Miss De GRAFF, of Jacksonville, Fla., is a guest at the home of A. B. HUNT in Medina. -Rev. William A. SERVICE, of Howell, Mich., is visiting in Medina and will preach at the Presbyterian Church to-morrow. -William U. LEE, Albert J. HILL and M. SLACK have been re-elected members of the Medina school board, with M. A. BOWEN, district clerk. -Rev. Solon A. WHITCOMB, the former pastor of the Universalist Church at Ridgeway, will preach there at 1 o'clock P. M. to-morrow, and one week later. The sum of $6,000 has been voted at Medina to be raised by tax for school expenses during the coming year. Nearly $2,000 remains of last year's fund. ** WYOMING Bryon A. Nevins Withdraws From the Assembly Race Bryon A. NEVINS has withdrawn from the race for the Republican nomination as member of Assembly. He would have been backed by Perry, Castile, Genesee Falls and other towns in the contest for delegates. The contest will be solely confined to the judgeship with Byron HEALY and A. F. LORISH in the field. -The Warsaw Hook and Ladder Company has disbanded. -General C. F. BISSELL, of Le Roy, drives a pony 33 years of age. -The Baptist church at Le Roy, is to have a new pipe organ. -Five "fresh-air" children are located at the hamlet of La Grange for a two week's sojourn. -It cost $5,852.06 to run Perry Academy last year, of which amount $3,650 was for the employment of teachers. The board has employed the same able corps of teachers for the ensuing year, headed by Miss May R. CATTON as principal. ** NIAGARA -Miss Jessie BARNETT is visiting friends at Charlotte. -At a recent election at Ransomville Mrs. Warren A. CURTIS was elected school district clerk. This is the first instance of a woman being elected to office in Ransomville. -At the school meeting of district No. 1 of the towns of Hartland, Royalton and Shelby Dr. WILMOT was elected trustee. An effort will be made to have the district enlarged. Everet PEARCE was elected trustee of district No. 1 Hartland. -The state tug, "Queen City," arrived at Lockport last night with the Servoss drag used to remove eel-grass from the bed of the canal. The drag has made a round trip of the Western division of the canal, having gone to Montezuma Flats and returned. The water is reported higher than any recent previous summer, and loss trouble results from the eel-grass. ** ONTARIO -The town board and the commissioners of highways have had an injunction served on them by Mrs. KING and others in the matter of the new road at Clifton Springs. -A very fine entertainment was given in the Clifton Springs Sanitarium parlors Thursday evening, consisting of vocal and instrumental music, etc., by a number of the guests. The parlors were filled to their utmost. -Two concerts will be given on Tuesday afternoon and evening in Association Hall, Clifton Springs, by Mme.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Sat Aug 10, 1889 WESTERN NEW YORK NEWS YATES Natural Gas Company Preparing to Operate at Penn Yan An application was made to the Board of Trustees of Penn Yan at its last regular meeting by Charles PLACE, of New York; S. H. LYNN, of Rochester, and Johnathan CHAMPLIN, of Penn Yan, for permission to lay mains in the streets and alleys of the village for the transmission of natural gas from one point to another. After some discussion the application was put over to the special meeting, and at the special meeting action was still further postponed one week in order that the trustees might look the matter up and better understand it. If the board grants the franchise the company, which is well fixed financially, will drive a series of wells at different points on the outlet southeast of the village. Gas has been struck in considerable quantities at a number of points on the outlet in times past, but owing to the lack of money on the part of those interested in the wells, and for the reason that the rock is mostly of a shaley nature, allowing the gas to easily escape the wells were never drilled deep enough to secure a lasting supply, although there are a number of small wells which supply their owners' with heat and light. There are numberless places in this valley where the gas bubbles up through the ground in considerable quantities, and the indications are first-class for the obtaining of a lasting supply and of sufficient volume for the supply of the village. -The STEWART family will hold their annual reunion and picnic on the grounds of the Keuka College August 21st. -The ladies of the Middlesex First Baptist Church will serve ice cream and huckleberries at their church parlors this (Saturday) evening. -There will be no services at the Methodist Church in Penn Yan to-morrow, Rev. J. V. BENHAM being absent on his vacation. There will be union services at the Presbyterian Church in the evening, the pulpit being occupied by Rev. F. W. PALMER, of Farmers Village, a former resident of Penn Yan. -Colonel A. W. PIERSON, of Vineland, who represents the Department of Agriculture, recently made a visit to the Keuka grape region to investigate the subject of grape mildew and rot, in order to make an extended report thereon. He found after a most thorough investigation but very few indications of black rot, but some considerable evidence of the existence of brown rot or mildew, which has been very destructive in other parts of the country. It is not thought, however, by those acquainted with the influence as of climate and soil on grape culture, that it will ever cause any serious loss in this section, as great differences exist in both soil and climate from the districts which have been most affected. ** SENECA John T. Casey Meets a Terrible Death at Seneca Falls A terrible and distressing accident occurred at the works of the Gould Manufacturing Company yesterday at Seneca Falls, which caused John T. CASEY to lose his life. Mr. CASEY has been employed by the company for years as a machinest. Shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday morning he attempted to place a belt on a pulley in the large store-house, when in some way his clothing at the breast was caught by the shafting and he was carried violently around at the rate of 240 revolutions a minute and instantly killed. Peter McNONNEY, who was at work on the same floor gave the alarm and the machinery was immediately stopped, but not before the body had been frightfully mangled. Both legs were taken off at the knees, several ribs crushed in and the neck broken. Dr. LESTER, assisted coroner, viewed the remains and ordered them removed to P. J. Ryan's undertaking rooms. When District Coroner BELLOWS, of Waterloo, arrived, the following jury was empaneled with George SHANDLEY, as foreman, John HALPIN, John CUDDERBACK, William CARDWELL, Frank WESTCOTT, Martin O'NEIL, John McKEON, S. L. MONROE, Owen SMYTHE, A. S. POLLARD, James FLANAGAN, and A. G. PEAGLE. The jury after viewing the body went to the scene of the accident, after which they adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon when an inquest will be held. Mr. CASEY was the son of Richard CASEY. He was born in Seneca Falls in 1848, and has always resided there. He was a man of good character, studious and industrious. He is survived by a wife, three sons and one daughter. The funeral will occur from the St. Patrick's Church on Sunday afternoon. -William WILSON and family, of Waterloo, have decided to remove to Milwaukee, Wis. -The Waterloo base ball club succeeded in defeating the hitherto invincible West Junius nine, on Thursday afternoon, by a score of 11 to 9. The game was played in Junius. -The Seneca County Agricultural Fair and Cattle Show will be held at the Maple Grove grounds in Waterloo, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, September 24th, 25th and 26th. -Miss Louise HILLER closed her school in the Stone Church district of Junius last week with an interesting exhibition. Miss Kate HILLER'S school, in the Fayette Kipp district, closed with a pleasant picnic. -At the annual election of school district, No. 3, Waterloo, the following officers were chosen: Herman BREHM, trustee; Charles B. DAY, clerk; Joseph MARION; collector; Converse G. JOHNSON, librarian, Miss Anna B. BAYDAM will probably be the teacher. -The Board of Trustees of the Waterloo Union School organized for the ensuing year on Thursday evening by the election of Colonel F. L. MANNING as president, Godfrey BELMAER(?), secretary and treasurer, and Edward NUGENT, committee on repairs and supplies.

DANA of the New York 'Sun,' he said: "DANA did as much good as any them. It was amusing to read the 'Sun' during this campaign. You could see in every issue of it that it was knifing CLEVELAND under the fifth rib. I know personally that DAN wanted to beat CLEVELAND." ++ TO-DAY'S BRIEFS FROM THE WIRES. New York.--Mrs. Jay GOULD suffered a marked change for the worse yesterday, and it is not believed that she will long survive.

CROSBY on a charge of cruelty to animals in not feeding his horses, the complaint being made by Dr. PALMER, agent for the S.P.C.A.

source: The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State June 3-1896 COAL PURCHASES DEFERRED. There was a special meeting of the Board of Education last night, at which all were present except Mr. McKENZIE. The meeting was called mainly for the purpose of considering propositions form local dealers to furnish coal for the ensuing year. Not all of the the dealers had their bids in readiness, so action on the matter was deferred until a meeting which is to be called later. Clerk BRADISH reported on several matters which had been left with him, among them that in regard to some non-resident pupils who are in arrears for tuition. The names of these pupils were given and a resolution was adopted providing that all pupils who do not pay up the amounts due from them by Monday of next week are to be suspended. The Clerk was instructed to see that this rule was strictly enforced. President THOMLINSON and Mr. WASHBURN were made a committee to secure the Opera House for the commencement exercises on the evening of Thursday, June 25th, and to engage instrumental music for that occasion. + + AN AFTERNOON WEDDING.

OSBORN, foreman of the cutting department in the Armstrong shoe factory in Rochester and formerly of Batavia, occured at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. Louisa WILLIAMS of No. 32 Walnut street, at 2:30 p.m. yesterday. The ceremony, which was witnessed only by relatives and a few intimate friends of the young couple, was performed by the Rev. H.R. FANCHER. Miss Madeline COPE of Batavia acted as bridesmaid and Chauncey OSBORN of Geneseo, a brother of the groom, was best man. The bride was attired in white mulle and she carried Bride roses. The bridesmaid wore dotted mulle and carried sweet peas. A wedding supper was served after the marriage and Mr. and Mrs. OSBORN left for their new home in Rochester at 5:05 p.m. on the Central road. The bride received many handsome gifts, principally in silver and cut glass. Mr. and Mrs. OSBORN's many Batavia friends will extend congratulations and best wishes. + + MAXWELL IS VERY CRAZY. Drs. MORSE and WHITCOMB yesterday afternoon re-examined Thomas H. MAXWELL, the stranger gathered in by Officer PLATO on Monday morning, and arrived at the decision that there was not a doubt that the man was insane. Cortland CROSMAN, Superintendent of the Poor, was present at the examination. MAXWELL was brought up before Justice DUNHAM again yesterday afternoon. He told the Justice that he was 27 years old and a veteran of the War of the Rebellion. He said that he fought under John A. LOGAN at "the battle of Salt Lake City." He said LOGAN was a captain at the time. After leaving the army he settled on "the 100,000-mile island in the Mississippi river." He claimed to have been born partly in Wyoming Territory and partly in Washington Territory. MAXWELL stuck to it that part of his right side was gone. He said that he was walking along the street one day and pulled out the whole side of his body. A portion of it was recovered and the doctors put it back on, but it had always troubled him greatly. He still claimed to be the Surveyor General of the United States, and said that he killed a great many people, but only when necessity required such action. When asked any questions which he did not care to answer he would respond that that was a Government secret and he was not at liberty to say anything about it until in 1897, when there would be a great time of reckoning. He took back the statement that he made the other day to the effect that he killed Mayor Carter HARRISON of Chicago, but said that he knew HARRISON and the man who killed him. After much questioning he acknowledged to the physicians that he had been in a place where insane people were confined, but said that he was not obliged to go there. He was invited to go there for a short time and he accepted the invitation. He said that the name of the institution where he was was the Cook County Hospital. It is believed for that reason that the man hails from Chicago. He was not at all violet yesterday. He has not a thing in regard to his identity. Judge NORTH has ordered him committed to the Wiliard Hospital and he will probably be taken there tomorrow. + + SILKS How We Hustled for You at the Phoenix Silk Auction.

Kathy- since I am doing this project on Alexander to use in school curriculum , I would love to share a bit of your grandmothers' scrapbook with the students and build a lesson around it, if you would be willing to let me do so- is there any way you could xerox a couple pages, or is it too delicate to do that? I'm working on using materials around 1875, but anything before/after that can be useful, too. Since she would have been a young girl around the turn of the century, I'd love to hear what things she found of interest to write about in Alexander! If you would be willing to share a couple pages, and it is possible to xerox, I'd be very appreciative, it would really be a bonus in my course-work to have such a great local primary source!

Miss Margaret POWERS, JACK's companion, was critically injured, and Mrs. Florence MANLEY, 35, of Rochester received minor injuries, although her identity was not learned until 12 hours later. Authorities who investigated gave excessive speed as the only cause of the accident. Curves on Edgemere Drive made driving difficult, and it was thought that the car was going so fast it could not make the turn. The car belonged to Julius SCHREIB of Penfield. Wilber JACK started his golf career as a caddy at the Country Club of Rochester and was caddy master under Walter HAGEN when the British Open Champion was at the club. Leaving his post after serving as assistant professional under George CHRIST, JACK took a position with the Albion Country Club for a year as instructor. In 1924, JACK became professional at the Newark Country Club, where he remained for three years. He was a popular young man here and recently became a professional at the Hillcrest Club.
