The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Tuesday, August 6 1918 CASUALTIES, UP TO DATE, TOTAL 1,213 Figures Concerning Americans in Present Drive. Number of Dead 586 Aggregate of the Casualties since America Entered War 16,409. Army and marine corps casualties in fighting on the Aisne salient made public today by the War Department numbered 498--358 soldiers and 140 marines. This brought the total since the toll of victory began to arrive yesterday to 1,213 and the number of all casualties since American forces first landed in France to 16,409. Three army and two marine crops lists were given out early today. A recapitulation of them is as follows: Killed in action, Army-31, Marine, 7 Died of wounds, Army-5, Marine, 3 Wounded severely, Army-313, Marine- 18 Wounded, degree undetermined, Army-7, Marine-111 Wounded slightly, Army-none, Marine-1 Prisoner, Army-1, Marine-none. Today's army lists contained mostly the names of wounded, whereas those of yesterday showed 459 killed in action and eighty died of wounds. These lists do no represent any one day's fighting, but probably include some of the casualties for several days. One of today's army lists officially reported Lieutenant Quentin ROOSEVELT of the aviation corps, dead and buried. Lieutenant ROOSEVELT was reported July 17th to have fallen in combat. * READING MATTER WILL BE REDUCED. New order to newspapers, designed to conserve supply of paper. * BRITISH MYSTERY SHIPS FIGHTING THE U-BOATS. Some Incidents of Successful Warfare. London, Aug. 6- In describing the work of British mystery ships which have played an important part in anti-submarine warfare, the navy correspondent of the Times reveals how a "woman and baby" accounted for a U-boat. The submarine ordered a vessel to surrender and fired a few shells into her. The boats then left the ship, leaving on board a woman who ran up and down the deck with baby in her arms as if mad. The U-boat came alongside the vessel and the woman hurled the "baby" into the open hatch. The "baby" exploded and blew out the bottom of the submarine. The "woman" was decorated with the Victoria cross. The correspondent also mentions the story of a retired admiral, serving as a captain, who placed a haystack on board an ancient looking craft. When the U-boat ordered her to surrender the Germans were astonished to receive a broadcast from the haystack. On another occasion a seaworn tramp steamer was crossing the North sea, when a submarine ordered the crew to abandon ship. So sure was the German of his prey that the bombs with which he intended to sink the vessel were brought on deck around the conning tower. The commander of the tramp steamer by careful maneuvering brought the submarine within range of his concealed armament, so that it required only a shell or two to explode the bombs and blow the U-boat out of the water. * TEMPORARY TENT CAMP ADDED TO CAMP UPTON. A temporary tent camp, to accomodate 15,000 men, has been authorized as an addition to Camp Upton, Long Island. The camp will cost approximately $50,000. Construction will begin at once. * AVIATION CAMP RECORDS VERY LOW, IT IS CLAIMED. A statement issued by the War Department sets up the claim that a new minimum record for losses sustained in training flights has been established in American aviation training camps. " The figures relating to the safeguarding of cadets of the new army training for duty overseas as pilots and observers," says the announcement, "are now on a par with, if not actually lower than,the percentage figures of this nations' Allies and are believed to be much under the figures of other Central Powers." American fatalities in training camps during the period from September 1, 1917, to July 20, 1918, were as follows: Officers, 74; cadets, 65; enlisted men, 9; civilian instructors, 7; total, 155. * submitted by L.C.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Union & Advertiser Aug 30, 1879 SUICIDE Samuel Marks Dies from Strychnine Taken Thursday Samuel MARKS, whose attempt to kill himself Thursday afternoon by poison was related yesterday, died yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock at the home of his father, 55 Atwater street. Soon after taking the strychnine he became unconscious and remained in that state until yesterday morning, when he revived and was able to converse. He called for his immediate family and asked their forgiveness for the trouble his conduct had caused them. Coroner DANNINGBURG held an inquest with the following jury: David ROSENBURG, Joseph BIER, Edward ENGELHARDT, Joseph ROTHSCHILD, Myer ROTHSCHILD, Paul ENGELHARDT and S. G. CRANE. Mrs. Ida BLUMENTHAL, sister of deceased, testified that on Thursday afternoon between 1 and 2 o'clock Samuel came home, walked to the rear of the house and showed a powder to the servant girl, saying he was going to take it. He went in the bath room, put the poison in a goblet, mixed it with water and swallowed it, then went upstairs and lay down on a bed. The girl at once told the family, who sent for physicians. Samuel told the witness that he felt so bad about the forgery that he did not wish to live. Dr. I. A. WEIGEL stated to the jury that he found strychnine crystals in the glass from which deceased drank, and that he had taken a g?ai?, which was enough to kill. The jury rendered a verdict of suicide. The following written by a friend of the family is further in regard to this case. (Next 4 lines blurry -unreadable) During the negotiations he was always willing and anxious to pay the actual damage, if any. Of course the criminal law was put into operation to enforce settlement, not to litigate the justness of the claim, and still less to uphold the majesty of the law. The family are greatly afflicted and have the sympathy of a large circle of friends and acquaintances, being among the oldest and most respected of our Jewish residents. A great part of what has been published and said is but "wild rumor" and greatly exaggerated. Rochester, N.

This was done and Mr. LARCH and his wife came here to make funeral arrangements. Mrs. BALDWIN was 49 years old and leaves two sons, Bert E., of Milo Mills, who came here this morning, and Thomas W.

Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY May 1 1832 MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINARY. In Orwigsburgh, on Sunday last, by Henry STAGER, Esq. a marriage was solemnized between Mr. Frederick HESSER, a revolutionary soldier, and Mrs. Catherine MILLOT, the former aged 70 and the latter 40 years. The lady was divorced from her former husband during the last court term, a matter of little inconvenience as it seems. In our last, we were under the necessity of recording the death, and now we are called upon to record the marriage, of a revolutionary worthy. The epithalamium is always more welcome to us than the epicedeum. The difference is as between a groan and a grin. The ages of the parties above mentioned would, in ordinary cases, have tendered the forms of courtship and subsequent matrimonial consummation, matters too troublesome to be voluntarily encountered. We trust the lady will excuse the liberty taken in reference to this subject. We do not vouch for the accuracy of the statement, because witty dandies affirm that ladies' ages are always dubious and uncertain. Our approbation is due to the weather beaten hero, the snow upon whose head has been unable to extinguish the fire that glows in his veins, and who is striving to devote the remnant of his existence to the benefit of himself and posterity--to the burning shame of all old bachelors! Unmarried reader, go thou and do likewise. -Miner's Jour. *** STAGE ACCIDENT. We learn by a friend and passenger in the stage, the particulars of an unfortunate accident, which occurred on Thursday night last, to the passengers in the Telegraph stage, at Fayetteville, Madison co. The stage had arrived at the public house in Fayettville, and while the driver was in the act of taking out the large mail for the purpose of changing carriages, it fell upon the whiffle trees, which so frightened the horses, that they started off at full speed, and in turning a sharp corner, upset the stage with the following passengers: Miss FULLER, of Mass. A.McGILL, J.M. BULL, D. WHEELER, H. SAXTON, H.H. GILBERT, and George McKNIGHT. Miss FULLER had an arm broken.--Mr. McGILL received several severe bruises--Mr. SAXTON, a severe contusion on the head, and the other passengers were more or less injured. This should, however, be a caution to all drivers, not to expose the lives of passengers by leaving their horses, as is often the case, untied, while passengers are in the stage. --Utica Observer. *** submitted by L.C.

Dissolve from one quarter to half a pound of Alum in a gallon of warm water, and immerse the feet or hands in it when frozen for ten or fifteen minutes and a cure will be effected. A gentleman of this town informs us, that having frozen his feet not long since he tried the above remedy with complete success. -New Bedford Mercury. *** A stage coach driver (named BROWN, lately a resident in Salem) on the linen between Concord and Groton was found frozen still upon his box on the road on Tuesday night holding his reins in his hand. He was dead, and the reins clenched so fast that they were obliged to be cut before they could be extricated from his grasp. -N.Y. Gaz. *** A late census gives Russia, including Poland, of which country the Arch Duke Constantine was a Viceroy at the time of his brother's death, a population of fifty-two million of souls. *** A CANAL SAUSAGE. A few weeks since, Mr. Abraham F. MILLER, the head butcher of the Walnut township, made a sausage for Abraham MILLER, Esq. living on the canal line in Walnut township which measured 16 yards in length, out of one entire gut, without one single twist or hole in it, except at the ends, & weighed 35 pounds! "Beat this ye Fairfield Butchers." -Ohio Eagle. *** The American ship HOUQUA, arrived at Cowes, in 197 days from canton.--On the 29th June, at 6 A.M. the island of Lord NORTH bearing S.W. about three leagues, several prows were discovered in the offing, a number standing out from the island to join them. At half past 5, 18 prows, with from 14 to 20 men in each, stood down towards the ship; all hands were called to quarters and the ship cleared for action. 7--Four boats succeeded in coming alongside, holding up cocoa-nuts, and pretending they wished to trade; and on being refused, appeared determined to board. Two muskets were fired over one of the prows, and although the balls struck very near, they laughed at it, and would stand down within ten yards of the ship, making the most frightful grimaces; apparently defying the ship's company to injure them; not succeeding in cutting the ship off, when she ranged a head of them; the other 14 set a large sail and stood after her, each man using his utmost exertions in paddling to overtake the ship. At that time the wind was high, and they came up fast. At half past 8, the wind increased and the 24 began to drop astern which much exasperated the 4 alongside, who were every moment expected to board the ship. At 10, finding their comradies did not come up, they quitted the ship. It was the opinion of every one on board, that if it had fallen calm (which at one time seemed very probable) the ship would inevitably have been taken. The men were cool, and determined to defend the ship to the last, yet the beach was lined with prows, which would have joined in the attack, had one been made. *** submitted by L.C. Schmidt

The Erie railroad is replacing the wooden bridge over Tonawanda creek at the MOULTON farm, four miles south of Batavia, with an iron structure. The creek has been changing its course in that vicinity several years, cutting away the south bank, and it will be necessary to extend the bridge twenty feet in that direction. A temporary siding has been constructed for use during the progress of the work. *** GYPSY GIRL PUT UP A FIGHT. Police Captain Finally Arrested Her for telling Fortunes. Marguerita Louisa, a gypsy of Italian extraction, resisted arrest when Police Captain BLAIR undertook to take her into custody this morning. Marguerita is a comely miss of 15, one of a caravan of wanderers who arrived in town this morning. Their wagons were drawn up in front of the municipal plant while the women went around the streets telling fortunes. Captain BLAIR met Marguerita and ordered her out of town. Ten minutes later he saw her in a Main street store having her palm crossed with silver. He invited her to accompany him to the police station and she resisted, making for him in an effort to scratch his face. Twice she succeeded in getting free from the officer, who eventually caught both of her hands and subdued her. Many people were attracted by the scuffle. Marguerita was arraigned before Police Justice KELLY, charged under section 899 of the criminal code with being a disorderly person in having attempted to tell fortunes. She was locked up in the police station pending examination. *** LAND OFFICE GROUNDS. Beautified by Trees and Shrubs Donated by Nelson BOGUE. Material improvement to the appearances of the Land Office grounds is going to be the result of a gift to the historical society from Nelson HOGUE of trees and shrubs enough to handsomely decorate the place. The plants arrived this morning and Roderick SIMPSON, who is in charge of laying out the Court house park, went with half a dozen men to the land office site. The work had to be done immediately for protection to the shrubbery. During the morning several small poplar trees were set in the bank of the Tonawanda creek back of the building and some shrubs were planted on the lawn. The trees on the bank of the stream will protect the bank as well as conceal the view of the opposite side of the creek for West Main street when they grow up. Mr. BOGUE's gift to the society is appreciated and his public spirit is commended. *** Good Sized Verdict for Lineman MULLEN. Niagara Power People Must Pay Him $3,500. John MULLEN, the Rochester lineman injured last July by the falling of a pole on the power line of the Genesee county light and power company between Batavia and Oakfield, secured a verdict in the Supreme Court of $3,500. The jury reported at 8 o'clock last evening after several hours' consideraton of the case. John J. McINERNEY of Rochester, assisted by James A. LeSEUR of Batavia, tried the case for MULLEN. Judge NORTH represented the insurance company by which the power company is protected. MULLEN was on a pole stringing wires, when, without warning, it fell to the ground. *** Nut Cream Kisses, a most delicious confection.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Apr 27, 1848 ANOTHER FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT We published on Saturday an account of the death of two individuals by the running off of the cars near Canandaigua, on Thursday. We have now to record another, resulting, however, entirely from the imprudence of the individual himself. Saturday afternoon, a man named William ADAMS, residing at Manchester, Ontario county, concealed himself between the freight cars on what is known as “the bumper.” After riding some distance he was discovered, and told to leave so perilous a position, and get on board the train. Just before reaching Shortsville, persons near the care remarked that they had run over something, and on returning to see what it was, found that ADAMS had fallen off the train, and that the last car had passed over his legs, cutting both of them off, besides inflicting several other severe bruises. He breathed but two or three times after being taken up. He was a man of intemperate habits, and it is supposed attempted to jump from the cars, and fell underneath. **** PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR - The Governor has offered a reward of $1000 for the apprehension of MILLER and WHEELER, charged with having shot J. H. SMITH, a Deputy Sheriff of Columbia county. Also, a like sum for the arrest of one John MOSHER, of the same county charged with the crimes of burglary, arson and conspiracy. **** ARREST OF AN ANTI-RENTER --Coonrad C. WHEELER, charged with firing one of the guns at Deputy Sheriff SMITH, in Columbia county, has been arrested. He was taking it very coolly at home. **** The Orleans American calls Cassius M. CLAY’S letter to his relative, Henry, a “fiendish” one. This is rather a hard expression for one whig to apply to the production of another. **** THE ASSASSINATION IN COLUMBIA CO. — Symptoms of lock-jaw manifested themselves in the case of Deputy Sheriff SMITH, who was shot by the Anti-Renters. The man arrested for shooting him, Coonrad C. WHEELER, had been brought before SMITH, and was readily recognized as the person who fired the first gun. Mr. S. made oath of the fact. **** INTENDED ARREST OF N. P. TRIST — The Mexican correspondent of the N. O. Picayune, relates the following: Mr. FREAMER who arrived here on the 16th inst., with despatches from Washington, brought, among other communications, an order to General BUTLER, to send Mr. TRIST out of the country as soon as he had given his evidence before the Court of Inquiry; and, I am lead to believe, as a prisoner. Gen. BUTLER immediately communicated to Mr. TRIST the orders of his Government, and apprised him of his intention to execute them. Mr. TRIST then addressed a long letter to Gen. BUTLER, denying his right to arrest, or forcibly move from the country, an American citizen.-- The reply of the General was, briefly, that he had received orders from his Government, imperative to their nature, and that he would execute them to the letter; and, furthermore, that it was neither his duty nor inclination to reply to the argument of Mr. TRIST in relation to his right as a citizen. **** DEATH FROM INTOXICATION - A man named PICER, residing in the town of Ogden in this county, was found dead in a field on the farm of Rufus WARREN, Esq, in that town, on Sunday the 16th inst. He had been missing from home since the Wednesday previous, and when found, his whiskey jug was at his side. We understand that he was about 50 years of age, and has left a wife and several children. **** DEATH FROM OVER-EXERTION — A man named Joseph RUBADOE, a cooper by trade, died very suddenly in this city on Friday. He had made a large number of barrels, and had set himself down to rest, when he was soon after found dead. He was in the employ of Jacob HILTON, and was a very worthy man. **** DR. ELWOOD — A letter from a friend, dated New York, April 20, states that Dr. E’s symptoms are less encouraging than they were a while ago, although his ultimate recovery is still confidently hoped for. He expects to leave New York for Rochester, during the present week. **** The House Of Representatives yesterday decided the contested election case of MONROE and JACKSON of the city, of N. Y., that the district is vacant. That neither of the claimants are entitled to the seat. **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY January 10 1843 DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT. On Wednesday (the 21st ult.) while three Sons, and some of the Neighbors of George LATHROP, Esq., at his residence in Bethany, were engaged in sawing wood with a rotary machine saw, driven by six horse power, one of the cast-iron wheels which was revolving with great velocity flew in pieces, and a piece weighing about thirty pounds was hurled with tremendous force against Franklin his youngest son, and injured him so severely as to cause his death in a few hours. The principal external injury was a terrible fracture of one of his arms, near the shoulder. But it was supposed by the Physicians that the size of the fragment and the force of the blow, inflicted a fatal external injury. Mr. Franklin LATHROP was just twenty one years of age, and died universally esteemed as an intelligent and worthy young man. All who knew him will sincerely lament his loss, and deeply sympathize with his aged and respected parents, and a large circle of relatives, in this most afflicting bereavement. -Times & Journal. *** submitted by L.C.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Apr 18, 1848 CORONER’S INQUEST Coroner STONE yesterday held an Inquest on the body of a child, only three days old. Upon the examination of the mother, Theresa McDONALD, it appeared that she recently came to this city from Canada, in search of her husband, and that her child was born here during the last week. She went on Saturday with her child, into the country, for the purpose of obtaining employment, but was unsuccessful, and concluded to return again to the city. On her way back, she applied to three or four houses for shelter during the night, but was refused. She finally, as she says, weary and exhausted, laid down beside a wood pile, covering her child with her dress — Yesterday morning, with the dead child in her arms, she stopped at a house in this city to warm. The child had probably died from exposure to the cold. The mother acknowledged on her examination, that the child was illegitimate. **** SUDDEN DEATHS - Under our obituary head will be noticed the death of Mrs. MONTGOMERY, wife of Dr. H. F. MONTGOMERY. It is just about one year since her marriage and removal to this city. The bright anticipation in which they mutually, and certainly not unreasonably, indulged, have so soon and so suddenly been dashed to the ground, by an event which must overwhelm the survivor with sadness and gloom -Within a week the death of Mrs. Erastus IDE, also fearfully sudden, --stricken down in early womanhood; and that of Theodore SEDWICK, the announcements of whose death was to us as to many others, the first intelligence that he was not in the enjoyment of his usual health, — within this brief period we have received so many awful admonitions of the frail tenure by which we hold all things which pertain to this life. **** A MOTHER POISONED BY HER CHILD - A woman named PINKERTON, residing at the corner of Harrison Avenue and Curve street, died on Saturday, from poison administered by her daughter, Susan KANE, who was 14 years old yesterday.-- The girl went to an apothecary on Friday evening, and procured fourpence worth of rats bane, which she gave to her mother, who was sick.-- Not having the effect she intended, on Saturday morning she called for the like amount at the same store, giving as a reason, that she mixed the other too thin, and it had no effect on the rats. — This was also given her mother, and proved fatal. An inquest was held by Coroner PRATT, the verdict of which was in accordance with the above. The girl has confessed the crime and was committed to jail yesterday. She is said to be a girl of bad habits, and was severely punished on Thursday evening, for her disobedience. — (Boston Whig) **** NARROW ESCAPE - On Friday morning last, a son of Leonard WILKINS, of this village, while fishing in the race, near his father’s mill, accidentally fell in, and came near finding a watery grave. No one was present when he fell in, and therefore no alarm could be given. About this time, however, Dr. CAUER happened in that vicinity, and noticed a rumbling in the waters, which he at first thought to be the noise made by Musk rats; but on examining the cause he discovered the boy rise to the top of the water; upon which he immediately rescued him. When taken from the water respiration on had ceased, and to all human appearance vitality had fled forever. Through the Doctor’s exertions life was, restored, and the boy is now enjoying his wonted health and vigor, promising never again to go to the creek alone on such an excursion. Boys should take warning by this narrow escape of one of their playmates. (Warsaw N. Yorker). **** MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE - Two years ago last February, a lad named J. BRUCE, of Winchendon, Mass., was despatched by his father to this city, with a sled and two horses, to sell a load of straw, since which time he has never been heard of. Recently a keg was found in EASTMAN’S stable, in Deacon street, in this city, which was known to have been in the possession of the boy, and this led to a disclosure that at the time of the boy’s disappearance, the horses had been left at Mr. E’s stable by the boy, and never claimed, and that Mr. E. after keeping them a proper time and advertising them, sold them, and has on hand the balance of money, deducting charges. The man has been found who bought the sled of the boy. Finally, after a long search the body of the boy himself was found buried in one of the city tombs in the south burying ground, with his clothes still on. There is no record of his death or burial on the city books, which leads to the supposition that he was buried under a feigned name, and that there has been foul play in the matter. The body has been taken home to Winchendon (Boston Traveller). **** FATAL ACCIDENT - A young man of the name of TOKER, in Huron, while on a hunting excursion on Friday last, accidentally shot himself — He was standing on a log and resting upon the muzzle of his gun, when the latter slipped, (the lock catching on the log,) and off - discharging its contents into his side, and killing him almost instantly.- (Wayne Sentinel). **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

The Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Tuesday, January 3 1843 DIED. In this Village this morning at six o'clock, after an illness of fourteen days, Mr. Eli Todd LEWIS, aged thirty years. His funeral will take place at the Episcopal Church on Thursday next at 2 o'clock P.M. Mr. LEWIS was one of those rare and choice spirits who move quietly and unosteniatiously through life, yet exerting a strong and abiding influence in promoting the cause of virtue, morality and religion. He was a living and bright example of christian excellence; and has left that enviable legacy of the good man--a character without reproach. To a temperament of singular equanimity and cheerfulness, he joined a mind well disciplined and stored with useful knowledge. The members of the Lyceum will long remember the series of excellent communications from his pen signed "A Mechanic," which excited so much interest and respect as to call forth a vote of thanks to their unknown author. His skill and industry as a mechanic: his trustworthiness, prudence and spotless integrity in all his intercourse with his employers, endeared him to them as their companion and friend. He was a communicant of the Episcopal Church: and as a Superintendent of the Sunday School his services were eminently useful, gaining the esteem and affection of the children, --and his death has occasioned a vacancy which cannot easily be filled in that department of christian labor. "As ye follow to the ground Where deep and cold, ye've made his bed, And "earth to earth" with muffled sound Shall crumble on his coffin lid; Dry up your tears that ye would shed While round his covering grave ye stand; 'Tis but the way the Christian dead Go forth to reach their Father land." *** submitted by L.C.

But one thing, gentleman--no assessor shall ever have at our private accounts.--Pa. paper. *** Mrs. HALE, in a late number of the Ladies' Magazine, complains because American women will not make their own fashions, and employ native milliners and mantua makers.
