Democrat & Chronicle September 23, 1910 Rochester, NY Monroe County DETECTIVES SCUFFLE WITH DISCHARGED MAN Re-arrest George Lavey After Court Lets Him Go. There was considerable confusion at police headquarters yesterday following the discharge of George LAVEY after his arraignment in ________ charges of burglary and grand larceny. His attorney called the attention of Justice CHADSEY to the fact that the information sworn to at the time the warrant was issued was of a hearsay character. The Court held that the point was well taken and LAVEY was discharged. He was re-arrested, however, after a squabble in the corridors and locked up on the same charges. He will be arraigned again this (didn't get the rest). Submitted by: Patricia Stillwell Mims

Some One is Entitled to an Estate of $80,000 Postmaster PITKIN has turned over to us a letter written by Francis N. GERAGHTY, attorney at law, 907 Carleton Building, St. Louis, which reads: "I have at hand the settlement of an estate (unclaimed) of about $80,000, belonging to the descendants of two ladies who maiden names were Bertha Rose and Mary CUNNINGHAM.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Wednesday Evening, February 1-1888 FIERCE FIRE IN BUFFALO. Barnes, Hengerer & Co.'s Great Establishment Burned. Adjoining Structures Damaged--Loss Over a Million Dollars--500 People in the Building--Four Lives Reported Lost. Buffalo.--A terribly destructive fire is raging on Main street. Fire broke out at 11:45 this morning in Barnes, Hengerer & Co.'s mammoth dry goods establishment, 256 to 265 Main street, and in a few minutes the whole interior was a mass of flames. At noon the walls on Pearl street fell in, burying in the ruins four girls employed in that part of the store. At 12:30 the front walls fell in, and the whole structure is in ruins. The fire spread to the adjoining buildings occupied by DICKINSON's jewelry store and PARTRIDGE's dry goods store and leaped across the street to GLENNY's china and glassware emporium and MORGAN's carpet store, and threatens the Academy of Music. The Bank of Buffalo, in the same block with Barnes, Hengerer & Co., have put all their books and papers in the vaults and vacated the premises. The Board of Trade building is in danger. Barnes, Hengerer & Co.'s stock is valued at one million dollars and the building at $250,000. The efforts of the firemen were at once directed towards preventing the spread of the fire and they were so far successful that the flames obtained no foothold anywhere. Beyond the damage to the adjoining buildings and to the front of those opposite on Main street, and also on Pearl, the loss is confined to Barnes, Hengerer & Co. and the building they occupied. At 1 o'clock the fire was under control. The names of the girls said to have lost their lives are not known and will probably not be until a roll call is made of the employes. One fireman had his leg crushed. The building occupied by Barnes, Hengerer & Co. was owned by C.J. HAMLIN, the great horseman, and was a handsome iron-front structure. The fire originated in the basement about the center of the building and in an incredibly short space of time a great flame burst through the floor. The alarm spread from floor to floor of the great building and a rush was made for the street. There were about 500 people in the building, half of whom were clerks, mostly women and girls. The immense volume of flame swept through the building as though driven by a cyclone, and bursting from the windows and doors leaped far out into the street. Although the fire department was quickly on the spot, no power could stay the flames, so fiercely were they spreading through the inflammable merchandise which the store contained. The flames made rapid headway on the Pearl street side of the building and it is there the four girls are said to have been seen to fall back into the fire, but the report is as yet unconfirmed. The tongues of flames shooting out from front and rear stretched across the streets and threatened to communicate to the buildings opposite. The woodwork of several took fire, and the firemen, seeing that all hope of saving Barnes, Hengerer & Co.'s was past, confined themselves to saving the others. At one time it looked as though the block between Seneca and Swan would go, and the Board of Trade with it. This was happily prevented and though the stocks of the occupants suffered heavily by flooding, the buildings were but slightly damaged. The losses outside of Barnes, Hengerer & Co. are at present unobtainable, but the insurance on this building and stock, is considerable over half a million. The other sufferers are FLINT & KENT, MORGAN & Son's, BARNUM's, JENNING's, interior decorations, DENTON & COTTIER, music store, DICKINSON's jewelry store and PARTRIDGE & Co. dry goods. + + BRUTAL MURDER IN BUFFALO. John CULLEN, a ship-caulker, murdered his mother in Buffalo last night in an exceedingly brutal murder, while under the influence of liquor. After committing the crime he made a tour of several saloons and in each announced in a loud voice that he had killed his mother. As he was drunk but little attention was paid to his remark at first, but finally he was arrested, and a visit to his home showed that he had told the truth. He had taken his mother's life by means of an axe, his reason for the crime being that she had made some comment upon his condition. CULLEN is about 30 years of age and unmarried. He has brothers and sisters, but all were away from home at the time the murder took place. + + REVISION OF MARRIAGE LAWS. Senator WALKER of Batavia, the Rev. Dr. J.E. NASSAU of Warsaw, and the Rev. Dr. T. Ralston SMITH of Buffalo, the committee appointed by the State Synod of the Presbyterian church to petition the Legislature for a revision of the marriage laws, have sent in the petition, which asks for the following changes in the marriage laws of New York state: First, forbidding under proper sanctions the solemnization of marriage between minors without the consent of parents or guardians; second, prescribing a system of marriage licenses; third, increasing the stringency of existing provisions concerning the matter of divorce. + + CONKLING WRITES A LETTER. New York.--A special to the 'World' from Ashland, Wis., says that Charles WELLER of Milwaukee recently wrote a letter to Roscoe CONKLING in which he describes himself as an "old Chenango county CONKLING Stalwart," and protesting against Mr. CONKLING's reported sympathy with the movement to nominate Jerry RUSK for the Presidency. In his reply Mr. CONLKLING says: "You must not believe what you read in newspapers. If all that newspapers have said of me had been true I should long ago have hidden myself from the sight of men." After denying that there was any truth in the rumor referred to, Mr. CONKLING goes on to say that he believes the Republican party sustained a great loss in the death of Senator HOWE and that "it is also true a matter of regret to me that the party in which you and I believe so much has not maintained its usefulness and vigor. Quite out of the current now myself, and powerless to influence the counsels of those who manage and direct, I shall hope for the best and trust that the leaders will find some way to bring back the earnestness and wisdom which now, as much as ever, since the war, are needed, and which would make the party again victorious and a blessing to the country." + + MATTERS OF LOCAL INTEREST. Something About the Masonic Bodies, Contributed by a Member. Since the annual election of officers of the various Masonic bodies in Batavia, interest in the order has received a new impetus and matters are progressing admirably. The present Master of the Lodge, Mr. Alexander HAYS, is a gentleman of great executive ability and thoroughly qualified for his position. Already his influence is felt. In the Chapter, Dr. J.M. SHOWERMAN, the H.P., is bringing up the work to a standard of excellence long needed and happily appreciated, while in the Commandery, Capt. O.C. PARKER, the E.C., naturally possessed of a military spirit, is infusing into that body a spirit of emulation that will soon put it in the front rank of Commanderies in the State. The selection of subordinate officers in the various bodies has been most fortunate. They are all men of intelligence, thoroughly versed in the work, and valuable auxiliaries to the presiding officers. Arrangements are being consummated with Prof. MORSE to assume entire charge of the music of the different bodies of which he is a member; for the profane must know that music as an art and a medium of worship enters largely into Masonic ritual. A quartette will be formed and a portion of the ritual chanted as in the Grand Lodge of England. + + Law Suit Over a Gasoline Stove. A suit being tried to-day before Justice CROSBY, the outcome of which is looked forward to with great interest by a good many in the community, is that of J.B. FONDA, the hardware dealer, against the Rev. C.W. WINCHESTER. Last summer Mr. WINCHESTER purchased a gasoline stove of Mr. FONDA, making a part payment on the same. Mr.WINCHESTER claims that the stove was purchased subject to a warranty and it did not fill the bill, so he refused to pay the balance. MR. WINCHESTER had the stove returned to Mr. FONDA's place of business, but the latter declined to receive it and it has been standing on the sidewalk in front of Mr. FONDA's for some time. Mr. FONDA brings suit to recover the balance due, claiming that the stove was precisely what he represented it to be. + + The Courtney Quartette Referring to the famous Courtney Quartette, which appears at the Opera House tomorrow evening, the Troy 'Observer' says: "Seldom, if ever, have we heard a quartette sing in better unison or with more expression than did the Courtney Company. Their opening piece, 'The Gypsies' Laughing Glee,' was faultlessly rendered. Their solos and duos were also warmly applauded and encored. Miss HALLENBECK's solo was superb, very difficult of execution, and rendered in a highly artistic manner. Mr. COURTNEY showed himself to be a great artist and the possessor of a telling, pure, tenor voice. Miss CLAPPER, the contralto, may justly be termed 'Cary No. 2.' She made a telling hit and lasting impression on the audience." Secure your seats at PATTERSON Bros. + + contributed by Linda C. Schmidt

Rochester, Monroe, NY Union & Advertiser May 11, 1892 WESTERN NEW YORK NEWS PENN YAN The Coroner Investigating Thomas Conley's Death Penn Yan, May 11 - The body of a man, in a badly decomposed condition, was found in the outlet yesterday morning, near where the trestle works of the Fall Brook railroad crosses the stream to reach the coal yard of Ellsworth & Co. Coroner HOLT empanneled a jury; Norman BELT, Benjamin HAVENS, Wendell P. HARTSHORN, Edwin SWARTHOUT, Harry JESSUP and Charles BUSH. The body was identified as that of Thomas CONLEY, who came to Penn Yan about the middle of November last, on a visit to the widow of his cousin, Hugh McMANUS, and to another cousin, John DOLAN of Bluff Point. He left the residence of Mrs. McMANUS on the morning of December 21st and said he would return in the evening. That was the last Mrs. McMANUS ever saw of him. There was no money in his clothes when he was taken from the water, but a gold watch and chain were found in his vest. When the jury met at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon they examined three witnesses among them Mrs. Hugh McMANUS. She said, in substance, that CONLEY came from Memphis, Tenn., where he had been working on a dredge; that he had very little money; that he was not a drinking man so far as she knew, and that he had told her he was expecting money soon from the south. The other witnesses agreed that CONLEY was a drinking man. The coroner adjourned the inquest until Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

It will be remembered that about two months ago the contract for furnishing a complete system of water works for this village was awarded to Messrs. BAUER, BRUFF & POND of Rochester. As the first of the work was necessarily in connection with the springs, which are situated on the north side of a gentle sloping, gravelly hill, and in a comparatively damp soil, underlaid with clay, it was not possible for the contractors to make much headway previous to April 15th. The main spring was sided up and ditches cut from it, through which the water runs to a small stream near by. A powerful centripetal pump, throwing a stream three inches in diameter, was placed in position and a day was spent in steady pumping, which did not lower the water in the least, although the actual depth of the spring does not exceed six feet. East from the spring, and further down the slope, is located the open reservoir; the surface dirt has been removed over an area at five by ten rods, and the clay subsoil thrown up and "puddled," which, when completed, will make, in the cleanest, most substantial and economical manner, a storage reservoir, from which the water will be pumped into a smaller, elevated reservoir in the village. The well is to be made about eight feet across, and will be cut down to the depth of twenty feet. The contractors say that it will probably be necessary to build the sides of iron to withstand the great pressure. A brick building will be constructed to the south and above the spring, to be used as an engine house and for other machinery. ** BATAVIA Batavia, May 11 - Yesterday was Prohibition day in Batavia and the cold water men and women had possession of the town. Town caucus at 9:30 a.m., county convention at 10 and Congressional convention at 11:45, all held in the Opera House, give, ample evidence of their capability of rushing business. A mass meeting was held in the evening, addressed by Mrs. Helen M. GOUGER of Indiana. The town caucus was to elect delegates to the county convention; the county convention to elect delegates to the Congressional convention, the Congressional convention to elect delegates to the national convention. Alva CARPENTER of Avon presided over the latter, and the following were elected to represent the district at Cincinnati; A. J. RUMSEY of Genesee, Alva CARPENTER of Livingston, Joseph HESS of Orleans, Charles TALLMAN of Wyoming; alternates, Rev. Isaac HARRIS of Genesee, Charles J. McKENRIE of Livingston, William GATES of Orleans, A. S. PERKINS of Wyoming. The following was adopted: Resolved, That it is the sense of this convention that John P. ST. JOHN be selected as the standard bearer of our party in the coming Presidential campaign. Congressional committee for the ensuing year: F. H. MARTIN, Genesee; Alva CARPENTER, Livingston; A. F. BROWN, Niagara; C. H. EDDY, Orleans; A. S. PERKINS. Wyoming. There was a large attendance and a fair degree of enthusiasm. A man giving his name as LeRoy F. BENHAM and his residence as Rochester, was arrested Monday night for assaulting with a knife a railroad employee at the Central depot. While on his way to jail he amused himself by yelling "murder" at the top of his voice. In the morning he was taken before Justice DUNHAM, when he again became greatly excited, and caused a scene by kicking the justice and attempting to break up the furniture with his head. He was remanded to jail again and on the way thither repeated his cries of "murder." His case will be disposed of Thursday morning. George G. ELLIOTT, proprietor of the East Pembroke hotel for the past twenty-one years, died Monday evening from dropsy, aged 70 years. Richard HOGAN died of consumption Tuesday morning at his home on Lyon street, aged 22 years.

A half dozen or more witnesses were sworn on either side. Mr. NICHOLS was represented by W. E. WEBSTER, while George F. SHULTZ, of the Daily News, conducted the prosecution. The board reserved its decision. ** MT. MORRIS Mt.

Immediately upon retiring to the jury room they chose P. P. BLISS foreman, and one ballot was taken, every juror voting "not guilty."

The proceeding was begun by HEMPEL'S daughter after he had been in the Rochester State Hospital several months and was fought hard by him. Physicians and neighbors of HEMPEL testified for and against him before Charles M. WILLIAMS as commissioner. Mr. BECKTOLD based his motion on alleged misconduct of a member of the sheriff's jury during the hearing.

The Court adjourned the argument until Thursday to give Arthur WARREN, attorney for Miss HEMPEL, opportunity to file answering affidavits.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Nov 14, 1929 WILLIAMSON MAN DIES AS AUTO HITS HIM Myron S. Adams, 70, Killed Instantly While Standing in Village Street Williamson, Nov. 13 - Myron S. ADAMS, 70, retired farmer and carpenter, was killed instantly tonight when struck and hurled several feet by an automobile operated by Abram MOLL, 30, a farmer residing in Pease Road, halfway between this village and Ontario. MOLL reported he was blinded by the heavy downpour of rain and failed to see ADAMS and his wife, who were standing in the street in front of their home at West Main and Bennett streets, waiting for a Rochester and Sodus bus. Only the fact that Mrs. ADAMS was standing slightly behind her husband is believed to have prevented her from sharing her husband's fate. Coroner Walter H. MEPHAM of Ontario plans an investigation, MOLL was not held. Mr. ADAMS leaves, besides his widow, two sisters, Mrs. Anna DE HOND, Mrs. W. B. FREER, and a brother, Homer ADAMS all of Williamson. ** Tells Where Money Spent Is Also Saved Morris Benjamin in Radio Talks Says Buying Home Works Out That Way "Home ownership is a means of saving money while spending it," said Morris BENJAMIN last night over Station WHAM, in a radio talk, sixth of a series sponsored by the Investors' Protective Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. "Every dollar you put into the purchase of a home is really a dollar you are giving to yourself." Mr. BENJAMIN said that, estimating conservatively, the person who now pays $50 per month rent, in ten years could buy a home worth $7,900. "But money paid for rent is gone at the end of the ten years," he reminded his audience, "while the person who has paid that sum toward a home has something to show for his money besides a large bundle of rent receipts." "Home ownership," Mr. BENJAMIN said, "is bracing to the character and confidence of the owner, for with the assumption of this new responsibility, he becomes a more important unit in the community." Mr. BENJAMIN also spoke of home ownership as a good, safe investment the "book value" of which never changes, as another reason for owning a home, aside from sentimental and natural desire of people to have what they can honestly call a "home." ** DEATHS BELLIY - In this city, on Tuesday, Nov. 12, 1929, John BELLIY.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State May 11-1891 DEATH OF MRS. GEORGE WIGHT. Mrs. George WIGHT, one of the oldest and most respected of the pioneer citizens of Alabama, died this morning at her home. She suffered from a broken leg and this was followed by a very severe attack of la grippe. She was improving and able to sit up a part of the time until Friday last when she insisted on sitting in a room without fire in it. She took a severe cold and pneumonia with rheumatism developed rapidly. The rheumatism went to the heart. She leaves a husband, one son and a large circle of relatives and friends. + + TO GIVE TONAWANDA GOOD WALKS. A.H. KING has gone to Tonawanda to introduce there the Portland cement walks and drives, having secured the exclusive right to lay them in that village. He is backed by a letter from the Mayor and Aldermen strongly endorsing the cement walks "as desirable as flag and far cheaper and more beautiful and even." Mr. KING has lived a good many years in Batavia and has a large number of friends who will wish him success in his new undertaking. + + GOING TO FREDONIA. W.E. FLYNN has accepted a position as superintendent of a large canning factory at Fredonia, owned by the Fort Stanwix Canning company of Rome, N.Y., having been engaged until January 1, 1893. He will assume his position on the 15th inst. Mr. FLYNN is experienced in the business, thoroughly familiar with its various departments, and will no doubt be a valuable and valued man in his new position. + + HIS BUSINESS MEETING. Moses E. TRUE returned this morning from a two weeks' trip on business in the West, where he secured a large number of orders for his patented saw handles which will keep him busy for months to fill. Mr. TRUE says the increasing demand for his saw handles will necessitate an enlargement of his factory another season in order to meet the demand. + + DON'T MIND MONEY TRIFLES. The Utica 'Observer' says: "A day or two ago a gentleman stepped from a Wagner palace car in Batavia and went to the telegraph office to send a message. The first one he wrote not suiting him, he wrote another. He shoved the first in his pocket, and when he went out in the station-yard, took it out, tore it up, and threw it away. At Syracuse the train stopped for supper, and the gentleman stepped into the dining-room and satisfied himself with a good meal. He put his hand in his pocket for a $10 bill which he knew he had, and behold--he pulled out the spoiled dispatch. He searched his clothes, but no $10 bill did he find. Then he thought of tearing up what he supposed to be the dispatch in Batavia, and telegraphed to the station-master to know if there were any bits of a $10 bill about the yard in that village. The reply came to the gentleman as the train passed through Utica that the yard was filled with such things, but up in Batavia, they did not mind trifles." + + TRIED TO JUMP HIS BOARD BILL. John S. SHIELDS is in jail on the charge of jumping his board bill at the PARKER House. SHIELDS struck Batavia on the 17th ult. and registered at the PARKER House as coming from Buffalo. He claimed to be a book canvasser, but he is thought to have done little if any business, as he appeared not to work very assiduously. On Saturday he left the hotel without settling his bill, intending to take a westbound Central train. Landlord GORDON, being informed that SHIELDS was about to skip, quickly summoned Sheriff TILLEY, who reached the depot just as the train was pulling out. At his request, the conductor stopped the train. SHIELDS was found by the Sheriff and placed under arrest. He was taken before Justice ROBSON, who committed him to jail until to-morrow morning for examination. + + MR. AND MRS. RHODY AGAIN BEREAVED.

ELIZA C. HASTON DEAD. Mrs. Eliza C. HAXTON of Ellicott street died at 1 o'clock this morning of paralysis, aged 60 years.

The transit of Mercury was very successfully observed by C.W. TALLMAN at Batavia Saturday evening at 6:54, the predicted time. The planet made its first appearance on the edge of the sun about 26degrees south of the sun's upper edge or equator. A very large sun spot was well advanced on the sun's disk, which the planet must have passed quite near during its transit. + + HEAVY-WEIGHT STEERS. C.M. EBLING has purchased of W.H.G.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Apr 18, 1912 Rochester Relatives Leave To Meet Passengers Among Survivors on the Carpathia Man and Woman Saved from Titanic, but Three Others Probably Drowned Several Rochester relatives of persons known to have been passengers on the Titanic, which was sunk off the Grand Banks Sunday night, left for New York last night to be on hand at the arrival of the Carpathia, which is expected to dock late to-night, having on board the survivors of the wreck. It is reported that two Rochester persons are on the Carpathia. Three others are believed to have been drowned. It was established beyond a doubt yesterday by The Gleason Works that Stanley K. FOX, of No. 38 Gregory street, a salesman for the company, was a passenger on the Titanic. A cablegram was sent to the company's London agents, BUCK & HICKMAN, asking whether Mr. FOX had sailed on the Titanic, and late yesterday afternoon the following reply was received: "Shipping records show FOX sailed on Titanic." Mr. FOX'S name does not appear in the published list of survivors. He has a wife and two children in Rochester. Charles V. CASE, of No. 3 Thayer street, whose brother, Howard B. CASE, manager of the London offices of the Vacuum Oil Company, is reported among the survivors left for New York at 10:20 o'clock last night. He intends to be among the first to meet the Carpathia to-night. Miss Lillian BENTHAM, of No. 11 Kay terrace, who was among the second class passengers, is also reported to be on the Carpathia. Her mother and brother, Walter BENTHAM are awaiting with anxiety more direct news. With Miss BENTHAM on the Titanic was William J. DOUTON, of Holley, who is believed to have perished. Mrs. DOUTON, who was stopping with Mrs. BENTHAM yesterday, left for New York last night. Although DOUTON'S name is not in the list of survivors, his wife has not given up hope. Mr. DOUTON sailed for Europe on the same steamer with Miss BENTHAM and Peter McCAIN, of Rochester. McCAIN, who formerly lived in Holley, moved to Rochester in 1907. He sailed for Europe on November 18th. It was thought by many in this city that C. C. PUFFER, of the Pfaudler Company, was a passenger on the Titanic. Yesterday E. G. MINER, president of the company, made this statement: "C. C. PUFFER, chairman of the board of the Pfaudler Company, was not a passenger on the Titanic. It is true that he had engaged passage from Cherbourg and had intended to sail on her, but at the last moment he was prevented. We have cables and letters from him to this effect." Percy A. COLLETT, of No. 205 Pullman avenue, an employee at Kodak Park, has a brother, Rev. S. C. Staurt COLLETT, who sailed on the Titanic and whose name appears in the list of survivors. He is 25 years old and has been an evangelist in England. He is on his way to the home of his parents, Rev. and Mrs. M. E. COLLETT, of Port Byron. He intended to continue in the Baptist ministry with his father. ** RECORD OF DEATHS William LASS died yesterday at Iola Sanatorium, aged 25 years.
