I notice today an "unsubscribe" request from a former Rensselaer Co. lady. Does she, like me, wish there were transcriptions of newspapers from other parts of the state? I enjoy reading the items submitted from the western parts of NY, but I would enjoy much more seeing news from eastern and southern NY areas. Isn't there someone out there who can transcribe old Albany news, or daily/weekly papers from Orange, Dutchess, etc.? Or occasional bits from NYC papers that pertained to nearer parts of "upstate"? I''ll be looking! Nina Searching: SWIM, GINNER/GINGER, BUTLER, PAVEK, DREW, CURRY in NY

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Apr 5, 1849 INDICTMENT OF DR. J. K. HARDENBROOK FOR MURDER Monroe Oyer and Terminer March 28 The Grand Jury rose yesterday at 10 o'clock. Twenty five Indictments in all, have been found by the Grand Jury, at the present term. William MILLER; forgery, in second degree. Garret T. BRADT; selling lottery tickets. George W. EGLESTON, for arson; - S. BOWNE, counsel, asked the District Attorney and Court, to give until Saturday morning to make plea. John K. HARDENBROOK, for murder, in administering a poison, called strychnia, to Thos. NOTT, of which he died. The indictment was read by the district Attorney, when the prisoner through his counsel, H. R. SELDEN, gave notice that he was ready for trial, and that unless the District Attorney intended to prosecute the trial of the cause at the present term, he should move that the prisoner be discharged from custody. The District Attorney said he should have to procure witnesses from New York, and would be ready to answer to-morrow morning, whether he would be able to go with the trial at the present term, or as suggested by the Court, a special term would be held for the trial of this cause. The counsel for the defendant, H. R. SELDEN, asked the District Attorney whether , if the cause could not be tried at the present term, there would be any objection to discharging the defendant on sufficient bail, until the next Oyer and Terminer. The District Attorney said he could not answer the question before to-morrow morning. S. S. BOWNE, Esq., associate counsel with the District Attorney, said that under the old organization, the Court had not the power to admit the prisoner to bail on an indictment for murder, but that the motion must be made to the Supreme Court, in bank. There had been a case where the trial of a prisoner, indicted for murder, had been put over for two or three terms, in consequence of the people not being ready for trial, and the prisoner was discharged on bail. He thought however, this was not a case where the prisoner could be discharged at this stage of the proceedings. ** APPLICATION FOR THE DISCHARGE OF DR. HARDENBROOK ON BAIL A motion was made before the court of Oyer and Terminer yesterday, by the counsel of Dr. HARDENBROOK, to discharge his client from confinement, on bail, to appear for his trial before a special term, should one be had, or at the next regular session of the Oyer and Terminer. The counsel made his application on the ground that the District Attorney had been notified immediately after the indictment was found, that the defendant would be ready for trial at any time during the present term, and that there was no necessity, on account of the absence of any material testimony, on the part of the people, for the postponement of the trial to the next or other term. That the testimony had been fully taken on the examination before the Police Magistrate, when the defendant was discharged, there not being sufficient evidence to justify the holding him to trial, and that no new evidence of any importance had been discovered since. The District Attorney replied, to the motion of the counsel for the defendant. The Court has not as yet made any decision in the case. The counsel for D. H., stated that it was understood that the Grand Jury stood 12 to 10 on the vote for indictment. ** MARRIAGE — A gentleman, talking to a friend on the subject of marriage, made the following observation: "I first saw my wife in a storm; carried her to a ball in a storm; courted her in a storm; married in a storm; lived in a storm; but thank heaven, I buried her in pleasant weather. ** A friend accosted an honest Quaker, the other day, and inquired if he had got the California fever. "Nay, friend," replied the Quaker, "and I fear that those who have now got the ‘fever' will have the ‘chills' ere they get back. ** A rival of TOM THUMB — There is in Springfield a little boy, two years old, bright and smart, that weighs only thirteen pounds! ** WATER CURE — A large glass of water, sipped ten drops at a time, in perfect silence, will cure a person in a passion. This is the last application of the water cure. ** ABSENCE OF MIND — An elderly gentleman, walking along the street, took hold of a cow's tail and gracefully placing it over her back, exclaiming "Madam, you have dropped your boa." ** It appears from a correspondent in the Times, that in New Zealand; when the marriage ceremony takes place, it is a very old custom to knock the heads of the bride and bridegroom together, previous to their union. In England, now, it is'nt so; The bridegroom and the bride To loggerheads but seldom go, Until the knot is tied. ** The Hatless Prophet, George MUNDAY, was on Saturday, at Philadelphia, on complaint of his wife, committed in default of $2,000 to keep the peace for two years. She desired that he might be kept away from her house. ** AFFECTING DEFINITION — Precocious Child: "Papa, what is humbug?" Parent (with a deep drawn sigh): "It is, my dear, when your mamma pretends to be very fond of me, and puts no buttons on my shirt!" ** DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN OF ALBANY — The Albany Journal in noticing the death of Jonathan KIDNEY of that city; says: Jonathan KIDNEY was born in this city, where he has resided for eighty-eight years. He was consequently one of the oldest connecting links between the past and the present. He has sustained through life a blameless reputation, and died, as he lived, greatly beloved by his descendants and universally respected by all who knew him. Mr. KIDNEY served his time as a Blacksmith, and followed the business always. In 1777 he was ordered out as a Militiaman to escort the British Prisoners taken at Saratoga, first to Hartford and thence to Boston. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

THE RECORD Tioga County, New York January 30, 1886 #4 TIOGA CENTRE. Mr. Cornelius JOHNSON, who has been a resident of this town for 50 years or more died last Sunday night about midnight, aged 82 years. The funeral was held Wednesday. He leaves quite a number of children to mourn his departure, besides a widow and other friends and relatives. Horace SMITH, who has been sick with pneumonia about four weeks past is convalescent. Last Saturday morning we were impressed by hearing of the advent of a fine son to Mr. and Mrs. Lott BROOKS, after a vacation of about ten years. Last Saturday we were aroused by the sound of the tannery whistle, which indicated fire. It proved to be an old house near Chas. POOLE'S, occupied by Smith VANNORSIRAN, which with all its contents was consumed. We heartily congratulate the RECORD and all concerned on our having a new correspondent. We have long felt the need of a respite. We also hope he or she will scan closely, and give us all the important news, as much so that even the popularity of our interesting newspaper, the RECORD may be increased. Thanking the readers of the RECORD and all concerned we shall rest for a short time. Jan. 22. Miss Alice LAWRENCE is visiting friends in Auburn and Seneca Falls. Mr. C.

Everybody aboard L. ROGERS roomy carryall, bound for the social at R. H. MOREY'S Tuesday night. An evening of rare enjoyment. Town meeting near at hand. May the best man win. The exercises at the academy Friday afternoon last were of unusual interest. The editors of the school papers outdid all previous attempts. E. C. PALMER, bag and baggage, was in town Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. George CARGELL, of Odessa, NY are visiting in Nichols. John FENDERSON'S mill property presents a scene of great activity. Within the large frame building millwrights and carpenters are at work, putting in the latest improved machinery for making flour by the roller process. This mill will be roller process throughout and being fitted with all the will doubtless be one of the finest mills in this section of the country. At the left and adjoining the flouring mill, is a saw mill with planer, matcher etc. and the huge logs are piled many feet in height. A person cannot realize what the sight is until they have seen it for themselves. It is safe to presume through Mr. FENDERSON'S industry the town and village of Nichols will be greatly benefited. The sociable at John DUNHAM'S last Tuesday night was largely attended, their home being full. Many conveyances wended their way up the hill to the DENHAM farm and those who did not walk up the hill might consider themselves lucky, as for ourselves, we did. The entertainment provided was of the most toothsome kind. Dr. N. H. KIRBY is home making a farewell visit before locating and commencing the practice of his profession. He intends to locate in Kansas City, where he expects to find a profitable field for his duties. He has been traveling in Italy for the past three months, having just landed in this country last week. Jan. 26. Bill Grummons

Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee County, New York State March 8-1864 MARRIED. At the Presbyterian Church in Parma Center, on the 2d inst., by Rev. Edwin ALLEN, George D. KENYON, of Batavia, to Mary C., daughter of Gilbert BUSH, of Parma. In Varysburg, February 22d. by Rev. C.H. JACKMAN, Frederick ZWETCH, of Alexander, to Sophia NEWMAN, of Bennington. + + DIED. Suddenly, in Rochester, on Sunday Evening, the 28th ult., of Heart Disease, Mr. John GRAHAM, so of Nathan GRAHAM, late of this Village, aged 38 years. Our readers are, probably, already acquainted with the sudden death of Mr. John GRAHAM, a resident of this place. We omitted to notice the sad event in our last week's issue, preferring to wait until in possession of full particulars. Mr. GRAHAM was employed in the National Hotel, Rochester. On Sunday evening, Feb. 28th, while taking a walk accompanied by a little boy, he suddenly fell to the ground, and although assistance was almost immediately rendered, he was found to be dead. His death is supposed to have been caused by Heart disease or Apoplexy, as it was the third time he had fell in the course of a few weeks. The body was taken to the National where the necessary attentions were paid by the family of the house, and where it remained until the arrival of his friends from this place. Mr. GRAHAM was a young man respected and beloved by all who knew him for his strict integrity and great application to business, and his sudden death has caused great affliction to his friends and connection. His sister, Mrs. COOPER, of this place, immediately on receiving the news of the sad event, went to Rochester and returned home with the body on Monday evening. Messrs. WHITCOMB and HOPKINS, Proprietors of the National, and all the inmates of the Hotel, did everything in their power to manifest the esteem which they entertained for the deceased. Several of the gentlemen boarders, accompanied by Mr. HOPKINS, attended the body to this Village, and Mrs. WHITCOMB and Mrs. BAKER, with other ladies of the house, were present at the funeral on Wednesday last. Mr. H.L. ONDERDONK kindly threw open his residence for the reception of the body, and the funeral solemnities were attended from his house. In Bethany, on the 1st inst., B.R. BROWN, aged 64 years. In Le Roy, February 25, Simon PIERSON, aged 85 years. + + GENESEE COUNTY ALL RIGHT. The result of the Town Meetings in the several Towns of this County, can but be satisfactory to the great mass of the people who desire to support the Administration in its efforts to crush out the Rebellion. They show a steady and firm confidence in our present Chief Magistrate, and a determination not to listen to the counsels of those who oppose its every measure. Of course, in a County where there has so long been a majority for the Administration, no great and startling changes of results can be made.--But we have done all that could be done--we have carried every Town in the County, and that, too, we believe, by largely increased majorities. The Supervisors elected--all Union-Republicans--are as follows: Alabama, Chauncey WILLIAMS Alexander, Van R. HAWKINS Batavia, George W. TERRY Bethany, Robert S. FARGO Byron, James F. BOYNTON Bergen, E.H. PARMELEE Darien, Calvin TOPLIFF Elba, Wm. C. RAYMOND Le Roy, Abial ROBERTSON Oakfield, Parley V. INGALSBE Pembroke, John W. BROWN Pavilion, W.C. BRYANT Stafford, Israel M. PECK All but Byron, Darien, and Pavilion re-elected their old Supervisors. As a general rule, the whole Union-Republican Tickets were elected in the different towns. In Le Roy, however, the Democrats succeeded in electing a Justice of the Peace, Assessor, Constable and Collector, and Inspectors of Election. John R. ANDERSON was elected to the former office. + + A CLOSE SHAVE. The election in Le Roy was a pretty close affair, especially on Supervisor. The Democrats ran their best man--Miles P. LAMPSON, and Abial ROBERTSON, our nominee, beat him by one or two votes! + + THE BELL RINGERS. The Buffalo 'Commercial' pays the following compliment to the Blaisdell Trouple of Bell Ringers. They are to exhibit here on Monday and Tuesday evenings of this week, at Concert Hall. The Bell Ringers certainly have no reason to complain of the patronage bestowed upon them by our citizens. The Opera House was well filled again last evening and the performances were such as to give entire satisfaction to all present. The music of the bells is strangely sweet, and the manner in which the music is produced seems little short of miraculous. The harp solos of Madame BLAISDELL, the clarionet solos of Mr. HALL, and the falsetto singing of Mr. ROGERS, are very beautiful, while the songs and ballads of Little Clara and Master Steve YOUNG add materially to the attractiveness of the entertainments. Those who wish to pass a pleasant evening should visit the Blaisdell Troupe at the Opera House. + + DEATH OF A SENIOR PIONEER. The death of Mr. Simon PIERSON, of Le Roy, is announced by the Gazette, at the age of 85 years. Deceased was a native of Connecticut and removed to Genesee county in 1808 and settled in what is now Bergen. At the time of his arrival, this section was a wilderness, populated chiefly by bears and Indians, and the sparse settlements were far distant from each other. Of course, he shared the hardships of all pioneers, in being deprived of many of the common necessaries of life. He kept a journal of the leading incidents that came to his observation, which must be of vast use to the historian in making up the story of "the early Genesee settlement." + + DEATH OF T. STARR KING. The telegraph from California brings us the sad intelligence of the death of Rev. T. Starr KING, one of the ablest and most eloquent men in the country. He died of diptheria[sic], after a sickness of only a few days. His loss to the literary world can hardly be estimated, and to the people of California his loss is irreparable. It is to him, more than any other man, to whom we are indebted for California's remaining in the Union. + + WE HAVE been shown an invention made by Charles A. SMITH, 3d N.Y.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State March 23-1896 LOOKING FOR HIS WIFE. William H. BRADFIELD Would Like to Find His Spouse. It is reported that Mrs. Ida BRADFIELD, wife of William H. BRADFIELD, who was employed as a gate-tender at the South street crossing of the Lehigh Valley road up to March 1st, has left for parts unknown, taking with her a considerable sum of money. BRADFIELD, who is an elderly man, while his wife is a young woman, threw up his job on the first of the month because the railroad men had notified him that he must keep the crossing clear of snow. He thought that that was outside of his line of duty. It appears that BRADFIELD went to Buffalo recently and succeeded in obtaining work there. He sent word to his wife to pack up their goods and ship them to Buffalo and come to that city herself. On Wednesday of last week she had the goods taken to the Central freighthouse and started for Buffalo. On the same day BRADFIELD, who had decided not to remain in Buffalo, telegraphed her to that effect. On Friday BRADFIELD came to Batavia, but was unable to find any traces of his wife. Her relatives told him that she had left for Buffalo that morning. It has been said that Mrs. George SMITH of South Swan street left with Mrs. BRADFIELD, but SMITH informed a reporter for The News this morning that that was untrue. He said his wife was at home. On December 17th the BRADFIELDS' house on South street was destroyed by fire with all its contents. There was insurance of $500 on the contents and this was paid soon after the fire. At the time of his marriage a few years ago BRADFIELD deeded to his wife the one-half interest in place where he lived, the other one-half being owned by Emory BRADFIELD. A little over a week ago Mrs. BRADFIELD secured $220 due her from insurance on the house, and on Thursday she went to the Lehigh Valley's pay car and drew the $30 due her husband for his last month's wages. BRADFIELD claims that she had some other money belonging to him. It is not known where Mrs. BRADFIELD is at present. + + Marquis D. WILCOX Dead. Marquis D. WILCOX, who from his early childhood had been a resident of Genesee county, died on Saturday night of old age at the County Home, of which institution he had been an inmate for several years. He was 91 years of age. + + Mrs. John DEACON. Bergen.--Mrs. Martha DEACON, wife of John DEACON, formerly of Bergen, died Saturday morning in Rochester, aged 37 years, leaving a son nearly two weeks old, and three other children. The funeral will be held this afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev. C.H. BARBOUR, pastor of the Lake avenue Baptist church, conducting the services. Burial in Riverside cemetery. Andrew DEACON and wife went to Rochester last evening to be present at the funeral. + + Mrs. Lovel FISK. North Darien.--The intelligence has just been received by B.C.SIMONDS of the death of his sister, Mrs. Lovel FISK, a resident of the State of Washington. Mrs. FISK was an old resident of Genesee county, having been born in Alexander in 1832. She was married to Mr. FISK in 1852. She is survived by one brother, B.C. SIMONDS of this place, and two sisters, Mrs. Martha WARNER, of Madison, Wis., and Mrs. Patience HUNN of Des Moines, Iowa. + + Mrs. Ann M. HARBECK. Mrs. Ann M. HARBECK, daughter of Mrs. MEAD of Ross street, Batavia, formerly of Stafford, died on Saturday after a few days' illness at the home of her son, Eugene HARBECK of Chicago. Her age was 65 years. Mrs. HARBECK was a sister of Misses Louise and Helen MEAD of Batavia and is also survived by four sons and a daughter. The burial probably will be at Battle Creek, Mich. + + Burial of Malcolm D. MIX. The Alamosa (Col.) Journal of the 19th inst. says: "Last Saturday at 10:30 a.m., the remains of Malcolm D. MIX were laid to rest in the Alamosa cemetery. This was in accordance with wired instructions from his wife who is at the present time on a visit to her brother, the Hon. John G. MILBURN of Buffalo, N.Y. Rector W.O. CONE officiated at the funeral, which was from the Episcopal church. Before the service the casket was opened for the citizens of Alamosa to take a last farewell of one who had for over twelve years been closely identified with them. The pall bearers were Mayor GERTELSEN, Town Trustees Van LIEW and SPRINGER, City Clerk George A. WILLIS, Editors NEWTON of the Courier and BLOOM of the Lance." Referring to Mr. MIX's sickness the Journal says: "Ill health from overwork causing brain trouble, first made its appearance in him about two years ago. He visited a number of hot springs in this vicinity, but could get no relief, but gradually grew worse. Not having health, his business suffered until last September, when he was compelled to dispose of his interest in the Journal, with the intention of going to Cuba as a war correspondent, thinking that the change might benefit him, but being taken sick in Denver, he postponed his trip to Cuba until spring. In the meantime he was attacked by pneumonia, which terminated his earthly existence." + + "Trilby" on Saturday Night. Arrangements have been completed whereby the great success, DuMAURIER's famous play, "Trilby," with all its magnificent scenery, costumes, music and stage garniture, together with A.M. PALMER's great dramatic company, which made it so popular in New York and Boston, will visit the Opera House next Saturday evening under the management of W.A. BRADY. This will be the only visit here of "Trilby," as the company has engagements to play large western cities immediately at the conclusion of its eastern tour. "'Trilby' is a strange, weird, powerful, intensely interesting play," says an exchange, "admirably acted at every point, beautifully staged, and received with the greatest possible enthusiasm more demonstrative at the end of a play, and never was it watched with more interest in the development of a dramatic story. "If 'Trilby' had never been published, but DuMAURIER had given to Paul POTTER a plot to work out, the play would attain a wonderful success. As it is, it will be surprising indeed if 'Trilby' does not make a record which is remarkable in the annals of the American stage. The acting was a source of genuine pleasure. There was not a weak spot in the entire cast." Seats will go on sale on Wednesday at Haltz & Dellinger's. + + Too Much... cannot be said in praise of a good thing, and especially so, if it is a medicine. American Cough Cream... is good, acts quickly, is good and safe to take. We know this; so do those who use it. A cough or cold may seem a trifling thing to you. If allowed to linger it may not be.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 29-1896 BIG AS SILVER DOLLARS. Hailstones of Huge Proportions Fell in Batavia. Fierce Storm Early Last Evening--It Did Immense Damage Near Bushville, Completely Destroying Field Crops and Tree Fruits--Man Lifted Out of His Wagon by an Umbrella--Dwelling in This Village Struck by Lightning. A few minutes before the whistles blew for 6 o'clock last evening the most severe thunder storm of the season struck this town. It lasted about twenty minutes. Rain filled the gutters and in a few instances caused cisterns and bath-tanks to overflow. Lightning flashes were numerous. Hailstones of irregular shape and unusual size fell in profusion. Some of the largest ones in this village were flat, about a quarter of an inch thick and an inch across, but in the north-western part of the town they were much larger. At different points in the village the storm differed in character. Rain fell everywhere, with hailstones, and in most parts of the village the wind was very strong for a few minutes, suggesting a tornado. At the Swan street ball grounds there was no wind at all. The storm did not reach as far south as the Fargo tavern. The center of the storm seemed to be at Bushville and north of that hamlet. The storm came from the northwest and cut a swath about 1 1/2 miles wide, causing a vast amount of damage. It started in many miles away, because Bushville farmers heard it nearly an hour before it broke upon them. But there was no hail in Alabama, although there was some rain. The rain further east came in torrents, 1 1/8 inches falling in twenty minutes on Charles PRATT's farm, north of Bushville. Four chickens, six weeks old, were drowned on level ground. Hailstones of immense proportions covered the earth. Mr. PRATT measured the biggest one he could find. It was 2 1/2 inches the long way, about three-quarters of an inch wide and half an inch thick. This morning Mr. PRATT scraped up a pile of hailstones, placing them on the north side of his house, and they had not entirely disappeared at noon. During the storm the wind blew a gale, and thunder and lightning were almost continuous. At Mr. PRATT's the wind laid crops to the south. At Walter H. CHADDOCK's, east of Bushville, crops were laid to the north. At 10 o'clock this morning hailstones in a mass over an inch in thickness were still visible on the north side of Joseph H. POTTER's house. The storm in its fury did not extend more than half a mile west of Mr. PRATT's. All through the district visited by the storm the scene this morning was of almost utter devastation. The combination of wind and hailstones wrought havoc. Oats were cut off, and beans, corn, and buckwheat were cut down. These crops were totally destroyed. Potato tops were slashed to pieces, but the tubers may come along all right. Apples and pears suffered greatly. The hailstones attacked them with such vigor that the skin was broken and the fruit ruined. The damage is very heavy. Chauncey FORWARD of East Pembroke, while returning from Batavia in the midst of the storm, raised his umbrella. When the wind struck it he was lifted out of his buggy and deposited at the side of the road. The horse ran into the fence where Mr. FORWARD captured it. Ray FISHER was on the road at Bushville riding on a hayrack. A sharp blast of wind came and FISHER felt the rack move. He jumped and an instant later the wagon was turned bottom side up. The house of Milk-dealer M.B. HUTCHINSON on South Swan street was struck by lightning. The bolt destroyed the chimney, knocked the plastering off the ceiling of two second-floor rooms and then passed out of the side of the building, running down and splintering a veranda post. Members of the family were in the sitting room, but none of them was effected[sic]. The shock caused several lengths of stovepipe in that room to fall. A piano in the same room was badly damaged. The bolt did not set fire to the building. The damage is covered by an insurance of $1,000 with Oren C. STEELE. Three wheelmen arrived in town from the west late in the afternoon covered with mud. They reported a thrilling experience just the other side of Bushville. They were wheeling through the mud and had arrived at a point about fifty feet from a tall poplar tree when a lightning bolt struck it and they were nearly blinded. They sought shelter in a farmhouse. North Pembroke.--About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon there was a severe rain and wind storm, accompanied by hailstones. The ground was covered with hailstones and some of them measured 1 1/4 inches in diameter. The storm injured crops quite badly. + + CRAZY MAN FROM INDIAN LAND. George COON in Jail Again--Robbed Jacob DOCTOR, an Indian--He is Insane. On July 7th George COON, a German, was discharged from jail, to which he had been committed by Justice CLARK of Pembroke under a sentence of twenty days for vagrancy. This morning COON was brought to Batavia from Alabama by Officer Willis WALDRON, having been committed to jail late yesterday afternoon by Justice SMITH of Indian Falls. COON is now about as near being a raving lunatic as any ordinary mortal ever was. Officer WALDRON received word from Jacob DOCTOR, a prominent Indian on the reservation, yesterday afternoon that his services were needed. He went to the Indian's home and discovered COON sitting on the front steps without a particle of clothing on. COON had in his possession an overcoat, undercoat and a pair of shoes which he had stolen from DOCTOR. He was arrested and after arraignment was confined in the officer's barn all night, during which he gave vent to most horrible demonical shrieks. This morning he escaped and commenced tearing down fencing of a hen yard. He was corralled and brought to jail. The man is irrational, but attempted no violence on the officer. He constantly claims that his home is No. 426 Main street, Buffalo. + + JOSEY'S STRING OF RACERS. He Left This Morning For the Medina Track--To Hornellsville Later. R. JOSEY of Lockport, the professional trainer of trotting horses, who sometime ago leased the County Fair grounds on which to get his horse flesh in form, left this morning with a string for Medina, where a number of red-hot races are to be pulled off. After the races are over in that place he will return to Batavia and later take the racers, who are now in splendid condition for trotting, to Hornellsville. JOSEY is not the owner of the trotters himself, his line of business being simply the caring for and training of the racers owned by lovers of horseflesh, and the fact develops that there are several enthusiasts in Genesee county who are now indulging in this somewhat expensive luxury. Under JOSEY's careful manipulation a number of crack animals have been turned out who have made excellent records. Those taken with him this morning were Maud 91, a green mare of whom many things are expected and who is owned by Frank OTT of Batavia. She will be entered in the 2:30 race. King Stanton, with a record of 2:32 1/4, owned by Dick ASHFORD of Lockport, will be entered in the 2:30 race also. Tom Shannon, a green horse owned by George H. DENNISON of East Pembroke, is expected to make a good showing in the 2:26 class, and T.C.B., owned by W.W. FAUNCE of Le Roy, with a mark of 2:27 1/4, will also take part, but it has not yet been decided in which race to enter the last named. JOSEY also took along a green pacer to work. + + WILD WEST AT THE FAIR. One of the Attractions at the September Exhibition. Secretary Albert E. BROWN is engaged in making arrangements for special features for this coming County Fair and the novelties which it proposed to introduce will far exceed those of any previous year. There will be no balloon ascension, but for the particular benefit and enjoyment of the younger generation he has secured Captain R.E. LAWTON, who is known as "Oh-ne-wa-ho," or "The White Chief," and his reckless band of redskins, daring cowboys and bad men of the west, with the usual accompaniment of bucking bronchos, etc. This news will gladden the heart of the small boy. There will be scalping parties, fake murders, sham fights and revolver shooting galore, in which this cowboy will prove victorious on all occasions. Aside from this an elaborate programme of bicycle races is to be carried out, and the local wheelmen will be consulted regarding its make up. Handsome prizes will be offered for all events. + + CASINOS BEATEN AGAIN. On Friday the Casino baseball club of Rochester was defeated by the Batavias in an interesting game by a score of 7 to 1. Yesterday afternoon a fair sized crowd at the Swan street grounds had the pleasure of witnessing a very close and exciting contest in which the Batavias came out ahead again, this time by a score of 8 to 7. The visitors had strengthened their nine, among their new men, being "Stumpy" WIEDMAN, an old-time National League umpire. He is a brother of Andy WIEDMAN, Batavia's catcher. Batavia had the same nine in the field as at the first game, with the exception that MOSIER replaced PETTYS at short. The visitors brought F. O'LAUGHLIN of Rochester with them to act as umpire.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Saturday Evening, June 12-1897 IN WHITE DUCK BLOOMERS. Miss Annis Burr PORTER Attracts Much Attention on Her Bicycle. Miss Annis Burr PORTER, the Chicago girl who is making a bicycle trip from Chicago to New York, arrived in town this morning from Buffalo, escorted by John SCHRECH and Augustus DHULMANN of that city. She arrived here about 10:20 o'clock, and visited the Wilber SMITH Hardware company's store, where she was checked. After securing a couple glasses of soda water at Jewell's pharmacy, she continued on towards Rochester at 10:35 o'clock with her escort. The young woman is not seeking to break any records, but has several century runs scheduled. The first three days out of Chicago she made three. She is somewhat behind in her schedule, owing to bad roads. She is a dashing looking young woman and was attired in a white duck bloomer suit. + + SONS OF VETERANS.

Refreshments will be served by the Camp, assisted by the Relief Corps. + + DOESN'T LIKE THE E.C.P. A Crook Who Has Been There Says That the Prisoners Are Abused. Harry WILLIAMS, the clothesline crook, was arraigned before Police Justice WOODWARD last night at 7:30 o'clock to be tried. WILLIAMS, who was evidently an old bird, asked many questions as to penalties and fines and at first demanded counsel and a trial. Later, however, when the Court informed him in response to an inquiry that a plea of guilty of stealing 29 cents in Fred STAKEL's saloon would be received and sixty days' sentence to the Erie County Penitentiary imposed, he decided to acknowledge the theft, and the other charge was dropped. WILLIAMS was averse to going to the E.C.P., stating that the men had their clothes torn and were abused there. + + DECLARED TO BE INSANE. Such a Report Made in Regard to Martin C. BENHAM. He Has Been Examined by Drs. PARMELE and WHITCOMB--Dr. PUTNAM, the Insanity Expert From Buffalo, Called to Batavia to Give His Opinion in the Case. Drs. PARMELE and WHITCOMB, who yesterday made an examination into the mental condition of Martin C. BENHAM, reported to Judge NORTH this morning that they found him insane. The Judge had been urged by Cortland CROSMAN, Superintendent of the Poor, Poormaster FORD and others to take action in regard to the matter, and from what he had learned in regard to Mr. BENHAM's action he felt that another examination should be made. Drs. TOZIER and MORSE, who made an examination about six weeks ago, decided that Mr. BENHAM was not insane at that time, were asked if they would make another examination. Neither cared to do so. Drs. PARMELE and WHITCOMB were then asked to visit Mr. BENHAM and they consented to make the examination. In their reports to Judge NORTH the examining physicians state that they believe Mr. BENHAM to be insane beyond question. They remained with him 1 1/2 hours. They state that they found his physical condition bad, as he was suffering from a fatty-heart and obesity. His habits are rather uncleanly. He has threatened both suicide and homicide. His manner was insane. He was constantly picking at something with his hands, tearing paper and twirling his fingers. His manner was abstracted. His gaze was vacant unless he was spoken to, and his manner was depressed. He suffered momentary attacks of irritation and his conversation was rambling and contradictory. He seemed to take no interest in passing events. The report then goes on to tell about BENHAM's walks in inadequate clothing and states that he has slept but little for several nights. The physicians add that it is their opinion that Mr. BENHAM's mental unbalance is due to worry over financial matters and the charge of murder preferred against his son. Mrs. BENHAM informed the physicians that her husband's maternal grandmother, maternal aunt, and elder sister had been insane. This morning District Attorney Le SEUR called upon Judge NORTH and asked that Dr. James W. PUTNAM of Buffalo, a well-known insanity expert and professor of nervous diseases in the Buffalo Medical University, be requested to come to Batavia and examine Mr. BENHAM. The Judge heartily concurred with the District Attorney in believing that such action was advisable, and Dr. PUTNAM, who was telephoned to, agreed to come to Batavia this afternoon. Dr. PUTNAM arrived in town at 4:05 p.m. on the Central and took dinner at the Hotel Richmond with Judge NORTH. He afterwards had a conference at the hotel with Drs. TOZIER and MORSE and later conferred with Dr. WHITCOMB. AT 2:30 o'clock Dr. PUTNAM and Judge North went to the BENHAM house on Ellicott avenue. On the strength of the report made by Drs. PARMELE and WHITCOMB a telegram was sent to the Willard hospital, asking that attendants be sent on to convey Mr. BENHAM to that institute. Two men arrived about noon. + + ANOTHER LAUREL ADDED. Johnston Mower Wins a Grand Gold Medal in France. First Prize Awarded to it Over Eight Competitors--Great Success of the Company's New Giant Header and Binder--Enormous Crops All over the World. Another laurel has been added to the Johnston Harvester company's mammoth wreath. The following telegram, received from the company's Paris office tells the story: "Field trial of mowers at Gisors, France. Nine competitors. First prize, of honor, grand gold medal, awarded to Johnston mower. Osborne, second prize; McCormick, third prize." It will be noticed that all of the prizes were won by American machines. It is not known here who the other six competitors were. The company's Giant header and binder combined is meeting with great favor in the West. Four men from Batavia, A.B. CLARK, G.W. BAKER, Edward PRIDMORE, and Fred W. SMITH, are now introducing the machine in the Central Western States and in the Southwest. The Giant is the only perfected header and binder combined in operation at present. Furthermore, it cuts a wider swath than any other header made. It has a 12-foot cut, while no other header cuts more than ten feet. The ordinary binder has a 6-foot cut. Vice-President MOCKFORD, of the Johnston company states that reports indicate enormous crops of grain and grass in all parts of the world. Harvesting is now on in the central and southern parts of the West and farmers are jubilant over the returns being received from their soil. The Northwest promises an immense yield. The harvest will commence about August 1st. + + ENJOYABLE RECITAL. Miss SAMSON's Pupils and a Quartette Give a Fine Entertainment. A small audience passed a delightful evening at the Bank street church last night, the occasion being the elocutionary recital given by pupils of Miss Mary E. SAMSON, assisted by the male quartette of the Central church in Rochester. The work done by Miss SAMSON's pupils was of a high-order, without a single exception. In response to a popular demand, Miss SAMSON herself gave two readings. + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Mar 22 1849 HORRIBLE TRAGEDY - MURDER - SUICIDE, AND CONFLAGRATION Warren, Bradford Co., Pa., March 11, 1849 Messrs, GREELEY & McELRATH: I have just returned from the scene of a most horrible tragedy which took place last night. About midnight Mr. Wm. MANNING of this place saw a blaze of light in the direction of the house of Charles CORBEN, one of his immediate neighbors. He at once gave the alarm and hastened toward it. He found both house and barn wrapped in devouring flames. It appears that there were at the time only three persons in the house. Mr. CORBEN and his two sons, one seven and the other thirteen years of age. Judge of the horror of the benevolent neighbor, when he saw that the room occupied by the children had just fallen in, and on the straw bed, not yet consumed, lying among the ruins, were the disfigured and scarcely recognizable remains of the two boys; their limbs were already burnt to ashes. The body of the wretched father lay near them on his back, his body s- -darly mutilated by the fire. It was too late to stay the conflagration. As soon as possible the almost formless cinders were removed. It could be seen that the father had cut his own throat after firing the house. There is no doubt in the minds of the neighbors that he first killed the children or stunned them by a blow on the head. He also tied up eighteen head of cattle and one horse in the barn previous to setting it on fire. The motive of this fearful crime is thought to have been a brutal ferocity excited by hatred of his innocent and affectionate wife. He had often threate ned her life and last Thursday, alarmed at his menaces, she escaped and went to Oswego. He then went and on pretense that his wife was dangerously ill persuaded his daughter, who had also fled from his cruelty some months before to return to the house. There he confined her, treating her like a fiend, till yesterday afternoon, when with difficulty she again escaped. Immediately after he must have proceeded to carry out the horrible purpose whose results I have above described. Yours, respectfully, H. W. ** AN INDIAN CHIEF FROZEN TO DEATH — The celebrated Indian Chief MACKSAUBA, of the Ottawa tribe was recently found frozen to death at Fisher's Mills, Alleghany co. Liquor was the cause. The band to which he belonged is located near Black Lake, at the Old Wing, and through the instrumentality of the missionaries have become nearly civilized in all their habits. MACKSAUBA was a very popular chief. — [Buffalo Rep.] ** A DOUBLE EXECUTION AT TROY — To-day the extreme penalty of the law will be executed on Andreas HALL, who was convicted in January last of the murder of the wife of Noah SMITH, in Rensselaer county in July 1849. The evidence on the trial was entirely circumstantial, but HALL has made a full confession of that crime, and of the murder of a young man who was traveling with him two years ago. The youth had money in his possession. HALL pretended that he had left him at Buffalo. He confesses, also, that he had set fire to buildings in Troy. The murderer is only 24 years of age. At the same time and place, Barney O'DONNELL will be hung for the murder of an Italian, named Antonio RATTO. O'DONNELL killed RATTO in order to obtain possession of a hand organ owned by the latter. The property was found on the murderer, together with such other proofs as left little or no doubt of his guilt.--[Utica Herald] ** "TO ERR IS HUMAN." — A clergyman having indulged too freely in filling up his glass, went one Sabbath into the pulpit, and having given out a hymn to his congregation, sat down, the melody of the sacred song soon lulled him to sleep, and he continued for some time to play a treble bass symphony with his nose. At length one of the deacons ascended to the sacred desk, and told him the hymn was out. "Well," says he, "fill up again." ** FIRE - Between nine and ten o'clock last evening, a fire broke out in the Livery Stable of D. LAING, corner Washington and Perry sts., which was entirely consumed. Fortunately the horses and carriages were rescued. A quantity of hay and grain was consumed. The loss of property, however, is not heavy. --[Buff. Express.] ** J. M. PHILLIPS a school teacher at Pittsburg, recently punished a daughter of Mr. NELSON with considerable severity. He was afterwards met by Mr. NELSON, who knocked him down and otherwise severely injured him. PHILLIP's life is despaired of. ** Mary HOYT, of Portsmouth, N. H., has recovered $1000 of Wm. M. MOULTON, who "wantonly, wickedly and maliciously" neglected to marry her, after an engagement and courtship of fifteen years. ** A Mormon Temple is about to be erected at Salt Lake, of a stone resembling cornelian. — The ground, 17 miles long by 12 wide, to be enclosed by a mud wall 8 feet high, and to contain four cities, has been laid out. ** ACCIDENT — The Southport, Wisconsin Telegraph says that a man by the name of Christopher FARRELL, employed in the flouring mill of Gen. C. J. HUTCHINSON, was on the 27th ult., caught on one of the mill shafts, and literally crushed to death. ** A newly married lady, who was very fond of her husband, notwithstanding his extreme ugliness of person, once said to a very witty friend — what do you think? My husband has gone, and laid out fifty guineas for a baboon, on purpose to please me. "The dear little man," cried the other, "it is just like him." ** QUICK - A Cincinnati paper says that a telegraphic despatch sent from Washington, D. C., to that city, was put on the wires at six minutes after 8 o'clock, and reached there at six minutes before eight, coming through, literally, in "less than no time," and arriving at Cincinnati, an Irishman would say, twelve minutes before it started! ** FRANK COURTSHIP — An old Count paid his addresses to one of the richest heiresses of Paris.-- In asking her hand in marriage, he frankly said to her: "Miss B., I am very old, and you are very young; will you do me the honor to become my "widow?" ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

THE RECORD. Tioga County, NY January 30, 1886 #3 WAVERLY. (continuation) Atkinson's Comedy Company in the play, "Peck's Bad Boy," is billed for Saturday night, Jan., 30. This show is something Waverly people ask for and they will undoubtedly greet them with a full house. Tuesday, evening, Feb. 2nd, will appear Harrigan's Double Hibernian Co, of Irish and American tourists, which will without doubt be one of the best shows that has visited Waverly in many a day. The Helen Bancroft Co. finished a week's engagement last Saturday night under the auspices of H. W. and L. Co. No. 2. They played all the week to week to poor houses and in the end became stranded, and their baggage was seized by Sheriff MYERS and held as payment for board at the Tioga House, Miss Helen, who seemed to be the only lucky one, had money to settle her bill, which she did, and with her wardrobe, (which was said to be worth about $3,000) returned to New York. The rest of the company left Monday without their trunks for Buffalo. The Hooks worked hard but without success. C. M. CRANDALL, of the Crandall Toy Works, is in New York this week exhibiting samples of a sun kite, together with other toys manufactured at his works. The sun kite is something new and the invention of T. P. Yates, of East Waverly. Mr. CRANDALL will manufacture several thousand of them this year. Quite a heated discussion occurred Monday night at one of our popular hotels between a number of prominent politicians, of the same party, as to who should be the next Supervisor and postmaster. Quite a crowd gathered to hear the discussion, which was said to be a very pointed one, but which soon quieted down, each one agreeing to wait for future developments. H. W.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 6-1896 FIREWORKS DISPLAY. Exhibition Enjoyed by a Large Crowd-Rain made Some Trouble. The pyrotechnic display, in the big lot owned by the Brisbane estate, west of Jefferson and south of Washington avenue, commenced about 9 p.m. The crowd, which thronged the thoroughfares, could not have been less than from 2,500 to 3,000 people. The location afforded an excellent view and despite the drizzling and uncomfortable rain the exhibition was thoroughly enjoyed. The dampness of the atmosphere affected the fireworks to a certain extent and many did not work as well as if the weather had been clear. The handsome set piece representing a hose cart was first touched off, but it fizzled out and had to be relighted after a portion had burned out. There were many rockets, the larger portion of which failed to soar to the proper height. The balloons worked satisfactorily, as well as the balance of set pieces, among which were those composed of the words, "Good Night," "Batavia," "Welcome," etc.,, and others consisting of fire-spouting wheels, stars, and fantastically formed oddities pouring forth myriads of sparks and colored fire, to the huge enjoyment of the small boy and the more dignified amusement of his elders. + + RAISING OLD GLORY. Dedication of the Stars and Stripes at the Holland Office. The raising and dedication of the flag over the Land Office by Upton Post, G.A.R., was an impressive event, which was witnessed by a great many people. It was impossible to have the exercises at 11 a.m., as a band could not be secured for that hour. It was 10 o'clock when the members of the Post marched from their headquarters to the Land Office, headed by the Fifty-fourth Regiment band. In a few words William C. WATSON, Vice-President of the Holland Purchase Historical Society, formally delivered the colors to the veterans. Commander STANLEY of the Post spoke appropriate words of thanks for the honor conferred, and the roll was called by W.H. KENDALL, Officer of the Day. The colors were then hoisted to the new staff erected over the building and the band played the "Star Spangled Banner." D.W. GRIFFIS, Chaplain, read a prayer, Commander STANLEY read the dedication address and a salute of 45 shots, one for each star in the flag, representing the States, was fired by a guard of honor under command of Officer-of-the-Guard Peter THOMAS. Commander STANLEY spoke again briefly, and the ceremonies were brought to a close with a benediction by Chaplain GRIFFIS. + + MUSIC BY TWO BANDS. The Band Tournament Not the Most Successful Affair of the Day. The band tournament occurred at 6 p.m., in the Ellicott Square band stand. It attracted a large number of people. Only the Fifty-fourth Regiment band of Rochester, and the Citizens' band of Batavia participated. The former organization took the stand first and rendered the "Poet and peasant Overture." The rendition of the Citizens' band was the "Kanawha Overture." The Judges, Professors Charles KILMITZ and H.S. MORSE of Batavia and G. Gilbert CAUGHT of Rochester, who were seated in a tent where they could hear, but could not see the musicians, gave the Rochester people the first prize of $25. The Citizens' band took the second prize, $10. + + FOURTH OF JULY ACCIDENTS AT ELBA. Vincent WIEDRICH, a young son of Henry WIEDRICH, received the greater portion of a charge of powder which had been touched off in a piece of gas pipe, in his face, while celebrating on Saturday. The injuries are very severe, but not dangerous, although the lad's face will be disfigured. Charles WIEDRICH and Richard LEWIS, who were with him, received some of the powder in their hands and necks. A large firecracker exploded in the hand of George SWARTZ, badly burning that member.

Fred PETTEYS, the popular right fielder in the Batavia Ball club, came to town wearing a Van Zandt uniform. He is at present living at Depew, but his home is at Avon. Comptroller KNIGHT, who came to Batavia to see his ball players, is one of the most popular men in Buffalo. His is always the glad hand and his speech is magnetic. Ex-Chief EIPPER's dog "Sport," wearing a red blanket bearing the letters "B.F.D.," marched in the parade with the engineers of the Batavia department. After partaking of supper at the First Baptist church several of the Van ZANDTS, who were good singers, sang the doxology with fine effect. The Dewey Hooks and their band serenaded Alfred WARREN of Bank street, a former resident of Brockport, during the evening. The bicycle parade was abandoned. The rain knocked it out. + + BALL GAME BROKE EVEN. Two good ball games were played on the Swan street grounds, the one in the morning being the best that has been seen in Batavia in years. It was won by the home team, which hasd been strengthened by the stationing of McDOUGELL at short and McGAMWELL at third. Both are Buffalonians. TALSMA of that city occupied the box for the Batavias and was very effective. Every man on the nine played great ball. The Knights came down with what they considered to be the best of Buffalo's talent. Runs, Batavia, 5; Knights, 4. The afternoon game didn't commence until 5 o'clock. It was won by the visitors, but errors were responsible for several of their runs. The infield was in terrible shape, owing to the rain, and this fact accounted for some of the errors. KEICKEBUSH pitched a fine game. Runs, Batavia, 7; Knights, 10. + + BATAVIA'S GUN CLUB'S SHOOT. A large number of sportsmen were at the Batavia Gunn club's range during the morning and many participated in the four events, which took place before the rain came and made it impossible to go on with the programme.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Mar 8, 1849 THE DIVORCE BILL - A bill has been introduced in the Assembly, and is exciting considerable discussion, in relation to divorce. The leading features of the bill are, that divorce may be obtained for the following reasons: ! ..Adultery — as at present 2..Imprisonment in State Prison for not less than two years. 3..Attempting homicide, when such attempt was not justifiable. 4..Union with a sect which denies the marriage relation. 5..Insanity, for a period of five years. We regret to see the proposition to grant a divorce in cases of insanity. It appears to us that in such an event, the conjugal relation should not be dissolved. Insanity is not a crime, and in cases of insanity, if ever, this relation should not be disturbed. ** SUDDEN DEATH — Miss Eliza Catharine McARAN, aged 19 years, residing in Washington city, on Tuesday last, in ascending a pair of stairs, her mouth filled suddenly with blood, and on descending to the room where her mother was sitting continued to eject blood until she expired. Previously she was apparently in good health. She was to have been married on the evening of the occurrence, to a gentleman residing in Philadelphia. ** A courteous Frenchman, in reply to the question why women were not admitted into the Chamber of Deputies, said, that to be a member it was requisite to be 40 years old, and it was impossible to suppose that any lady could reach that unseemly age. ** SUPERINTENDENT OF THE HOUSE OF REFUGE — The committee of managers whose duty it was to inform Mr. WOOD of his appointment as Superintendent of the Western House of Refuge, received a communication from him yesterday, accepting the appointment. ** THE MURDER OF MRS. WALKER IN N. Y. The New York papers contain the proceedings of the investigation of this case before the Coroner's Jury on Friday last. The evidence is somewhat voluminous, and we propose to give only such parts of it as are pertinent, much of it being, as in all such investigations, but repetitions of the same facts. It appears from the testimony of Mrs. Eliza H. WELLS, an aunt of the deceased, that the maiden name of Mrs. WALKER was Martha Eliza BLACKWOOD — that she was first married in 1834 to Charles F. MILLER, with whom she lived about eight years. They separated, and about a year after the deceased obtained a divorce from him in the State of Connecticut. After obtaining the divorce she remained in Connecticut a short time and then went to Yonkers, where she lived until her marriage with the accused in 1846. She then came to new York and resided with WALKER as his wife. They next to St. Louis, remained there two years and returned to New York, and lived at 422 Greenwich street. After living there a few weeks the deceased went to live with her aunt, Mrs. WALKER. Mrs. W. further testifies as follows: Mr. WALKER has visited her sometimes; he has called two or three days running, and sometimes he would not call for ten or twelve days; never remained all night; only went into the parlor; I think I never was present when they were together here; I don't know whether any difficulty ever occurred between them when they were together; she has told me that he would make great professions of attachment sometimes; she said she tho't his family were not her friends; she told me that Mr. WALKER denied that they were married; I think she did not tell me that Mr. WALKER exacted from her any professions or statement relative to their marriage; she never said anything about his wanting her sign a paper; she told me that she wanted him to sign a paper, acknowledging the time when they were married; he refused at first at another time she told me that he had offered to sign it; he did not sign it; she did not tell me but once that he had promised her to sign the paper; she showed me the paper; I first saw at three or four weeks ago. He was here the evening before the deceased was injured; the deceased spoke to me about a pistol some weeks since; she said Mr. WALKER had a pistol; that she had it in her hand, <snip> didn't get the rest. ** BOY BURIED ALIVE — The New York Tribune gives an account of finding the remains of a boy seven years old, who was lost in August last. He was missed by his playmates, and never found till last Friday, when he was dug out from a sand bank, where the poor little fellow must have been buried alive by the falling in of the bank. He was a son of Francis RILEY. ** We find this in the Albany Knickerbocker. A man was found at Trenton the other day, mounted on a ladder, with his lips pressed to the telegraph wires. He was kissing his wife in Philadelphia ‘by telegraph.' It was found on enquiry, that he was a newly married man. ** John A. COLLIER is mentioned, according to the Albany Express, as likely to be appointed Naval Officer of the port of New York. His name is also mentioned in connection with the office of Solicitor of the Treasury. — [Alb.
