Car at Palmyra Road Crossing, Mile East of Pittsford — Child Hit by auto Fatality marked the end of a vacation trip when Mrs. Mabel Elizabeth HOFFMAN, 48, of Mt. Vernon, Ohio, died yesterday afternoon from injuries received when the automobile in which she was riding and which was driven by her son, Kenneth, was hit by a Rochester and Eastern trolley car at the Palmyra road crossing a mile east of Pittsford. It was first believed that Mrs. HOFFMAN died of shock, as she was subject to cardiac trouble, but an autopsy, performed by Coroner Charles I. MAGGIO at the morgue, last night, determined the cause of death as the puncture of her lungs by two fractured ribs. She died within 20 minutes after the accident and before the Highland Hospital ambulance could reach her. SONS ESCAPE, DAUGHTER HURT In the machine with Mrs. HOFFMAN were her two sons, Kenneth, 22, and Lloyd, 24, who escaped without injury and her daughter, Isabelle, 18, who suffered cuts and bruises. Dr. John VAN DOORN, of Pittsford, treated both Mrs. HOFFMAN and her daughter. The body was taken to the Newcomb Undertaking Parlors in Pittsford and later to the morgue. The accident occurred at a spot where the railroad tracks cross the Palmyra road diagonally. The automobile was struck back of the center, hurled 30 feet and turned around. Mrs. HOFFMAN was sitting in the right side of the rear seat and received the full impact of the crash. CLEAR VIEW OF CROSSING The trolley was in charge of "Doc" MARTIN, motorman and Henry GORDINIER, conductor. Witnesses stated that at the point there is a clear view of the tracks in both directions and that the motorman blew several blasts on his whistle as he approached the crossing. MARTIN said that the automobile drove suddenly on the tracks and the accident was unavoidable. Witnesses also stated that there were no evidences on the road that the automobile brakes had been applied. The crash occurred within a mile of the spot where Ray K. SAVAGE, principal of Jefferson Junior High School, was killed and Eleanor SULLIVAN, daughter of John D. SULLIVAN, fatally injured, in an accident on June 21. Mrs. HOFFMAN was the wife of C. J.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Wednesday Evening, June 1, 1887 ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A BATAVIAN. Yesterday's Tonawanda News contained the following: "Miss Olive BLIGHTON of Batavia, a young woman who came here to work as a domestic servant for John P. LYLE of North Canal street a few days since, became suddenly insane this morning and attempted to throw herself in the canal. She was caught by Mr.. LYLE and will be sent to the Asylum. Her friends live in Batavia." For the past two years Miss Olive BLIGHTON, apparently about 45 or 50 years of age, has resided with her mother, who is nearly 90 years of age, in on e of Dr. HUTCHINS' houses on HUTCHINS place. Miss BLIGHTON has supported herself and her mother by working by the day with different families and selling a salve which she made and different novelties which she peddled from house to house. She was a prominent member of the Free Methodist church. About a week ago she informed Dr. HUTCHINS that she was going with her mother to Tonawanda to visit her brother, who, she said, resides in that place. * JAMES WILLIAMS INSANE. The many friends of James WILLIAMS, a well-known farmer who lives on the Lewiston road, in this town, will learn with sorrow that he has become insane. For a long time it has been noticed that his mind was affected and that his condition seemed to grow worse slowly, and within the past two weeks his decline has been rapid. He is not violent, but it is feared he will become so, and his friends are to have him taken to the Asylum at Buffalo. He is despondent and melancholy all the time, and has frequently said he would take his life. Drs. MORSE and PARMELE have declared him insane and Judge PECK has approved the certificate. Mr. WILLIAMS was married less than three months ago, and his wife, aged mother and other relatives will have the deepest sympathy of all in their misfortune. * YOUNG KING DISCHARGED. Thomas KING, one of the boys arrested on a charge of burglarizing Peter CAMPBELL's house a week ago Sunday, was discharged by Justice LENT yesterday afternoon, as there was no evidence against him, except that he was in company with two other men supposed to have been implicated in the burglary. KING told a straight story, and RYAN, who is held to await the action of the Grand Jury on the same charge, said he had never before seen KING till he was brought to jail. Justice LENT believed KING is innocent of the charge and allowed him to go. * SIXTY THOUSAND PINE APPLES. At the Preserving factory on Friday a carload of pine apples, 15,000 in number, arrived and 10,000 of them were put up by Saturday night, about 100 persons being employed. Saturday night another carload arrived, and two more carloads are coming. This makes 60,000 pines in all, double the quantity put up last year. Owing to the death of W.D. CROSBY, W. E. FLYNN becomes sole manager of the Batavia factory. Theodore B. CROSBY has been engaged as book-keeper. * ACCOUNTS AGAINST UPTON POST. All persons having accounts against Upton POST, G.A.R., are requested to present them to the undersigned before Friday evening next at 7 o'clock. T.LYNCH, Commander. * WAR AMONG INDIANS CERTAIN. Gory Contests Expected in the Northwest--The Choctaws Belligerent. Winnipeg, Mon., June 1.--All efforts to settle the trouble between the Canadian Blood Indians and the American Gros Ventres have proved futile, and bitter war between the two tribes is certain. Small fights occur daily and horse stealing between the two tribes continues. American Indians stole a number of horses from settlers the other day and a committee of settlers went in pursuit. Word has just been received that the Indians attacked the whites and fatally wounded Hector McLEISH, a prominent land owner. Little Rock, Ark., June 1.--The situation in the Choctaw Nation is becoming serious. Half breeds are leaving the nation in large numbers and crossing into Arkansas for safety. Many Indians are under arms. Warnings have been given to many families ordering their instant departure from the Choctaw country. A battle between the full bloods and the half breeds is imminent. * PLUCKY MARY CHILDERS. Chattanooga, Tenn., June 1.--Miss Mary CHILDERS, a pretty school teacher of Trenton, Ga., heard some time ago that John MOGORS had been circulating slanderous reports about her. She rode across Lookout Mountain, fifteen miles, and at the muzzle of a shot-gun forced her traducer to apologize. Then she published MOGORS as an infamous scoundrel, and a bad man generally, and MOGORS sent her a challenge to fight. The little woman went to the spot to meet him, but MOGORS didn't show up, and at last accounts Miss CHILDERS was hunting for him with a horse whip. * MATCH-HEAD TEA WAS FATAL. Reading, Pa., June 1.--Pearson KLINE and his wife committed suicide yesterday by drinking water in which had been steeped a box of match heads. KLINE had been out of work for some time, and poverty made him and his wife despondent. * submitted by L.C. Schmidt

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Friday, September 1 1876 Local Briefs. Batavia Union School Fall Term commences on Monday next. The Potato Crop in this County will be light--scarcely more than a half crop. Rev. M. MACE of South Alabama, who has been on the sick list, is convalescing. The A.O. of U.W. of Batavia picnic at Caledonia Thursday, Sept. 14th. A gay time is anticipated. Day and Boarding School.--Miss E.G. THRALL's Day and Boarding School re-opens Monday, Sept. 18th. The Hon. Elbert TOWNSEND, of Pavilion, was selected as the Republican Presidential Elector for this district. Batavia Lodge No. 197 I.O.O.F. was represented by W.D. PALMER at the Grand Lodge held in Rochester last week. Rev. Dr. SUNDERLAND, of Washington, is to occupy the pulpit of the Presbyterian church of this village on Sunday, 3d inst. The Baptist Sunday School of this village picniced[sic] at Fisher's Pond on Tuesday of this week. A pleasant day and a happy time. Hay Fever is what bothers quite a number of our people just now. Is there any known alleviation or cure for this miserable disease? The Elba Presbyterian S.S. passed through our village last Saturday, in evergreen-trimmed wagons, and looking bright and happy. John DAZTAUER, an employe in MORGAN's planing-mill, had the first two fingers of his right hand clipped off by the machinery on Monday last. The Western New York Conference of the M.E. church will hold its next annual session at Le Roy commencing Wednesday October 4th. We learn that M.W. HEWITT, Esq., is a candidate for the office of County Treasurer. There are likely to be enough good and reliable candidates from whom to choose. The Baptist Society of this village are about to thoroughly repair and renovate their church building, several hundred dollars having been already raised for that purpose. Fifteen Car-Loads of horses from Canada passed through here on their way to the Centennial on Sunday last. The exhibition of horses, mules, and asses continues from the 1st to the 15th of September. Mr. Edward FINCH of West Batavia met with quite a serious accident in felling a tree a few days since. The tree in falling sprung back, hitting Mr. Finch's leg and so severely injuring it that he has been confined to the house since. Mrs. A.D. LORD, Superintendent o four Institute for the Blind, was elected Vice-President of "The World's Association of Instructors for the Blind" at its recent meeting in Philadelphia. The next meeting of this Association is to be held at Columbus, Ohio. The Wiard Plow Manufactory buildings are being pushed forward as rapidly as possible, and are much more extensive than had been generally anticipated by our citizens. The great brick and frame structures present quite an imposing appearance, and indicate an extensive business. The buildings will be completed and the works in full blast by or before the middle of November. A serious accident occurred at the Wiard Plow Manufactory buildings of this village on Wednesday morning of this week. The boss slater, Mr. Peter CASEY, slipped from the peak of the main building swiftly down the steep slate roof and was precipitated to the hard ground some distance from the building, making, really, a fall of some thirty feet. His collar bone was broken and he was badly injured internally. Dr. HUNTER has the case in charge. The Trial Test of the Fast-Mail Thresher, on Saturday last, at Mr. Levi OTIS's barn, demonstrated most clearly its excellence and superiority. Of barley and oats, two bushels per minute were threshed, as timed by witnesses. The work was cleanly, neatly, and satisfactorily done. These threshers are built by the Batavia Agricultural Steam-Engine Manufacturing Company.--With one of these threshers, and one of their excellent engines to run it, threshing can be accomplished satisfactorily and in much shorter order than by any other machine of which we have any knowledge. ******* DIED. SALSBURY.--In Darien, Aug. 18th, 1876, infant son of Nelson SALSBURY, aged ten months. ****** RUNAWAY ACCIDENT IN BETHANY. On Monday last the team of Mr. R. STEVENS, of Bethany, became frightened and ran away. The occupants, six in number, of the vehicle to which the horses were attached were all thrown out and more or less hurt, some of them quite seriously. Mrs. Laura STEVENS had her collar-bone broken, and Miss Maria STEVENS had one of her ribs dislocated, her hip badly bruised, and received severe internal injuries. The other members of the party were less injured. Dr. O.R. CROFF attends, and the patients are doing well. ******* ELBA. John K. PORTER died on the morning of the 28th of August, after an illness of but three days, aged 73 years. He was born in Mass. May 31st, 1803, and came to this State with his parents when about 12 years of age. For the last 30 years he has been an honored citizen of the town of Elba. Some 48 years ago he united in marriage with Miss D. HICKS, who survives him, with whom he happily passed nearly half a century in earnest endeavors and successful achievements. About 40 years of age he professed faith in Christ, and united with the M.E. church; and he has since endeavored to regulate his life by the principles of the Gospel. Mr. PORTER was a man highly esteemed by all who knew him. The Pine Hill German Evangelical Sunday School made a picnic excursion to Godfrey's Pond, Thursday 24th. All report a splendid time. This school is under the superintendancy of Peter WIEDRICH, who is deserving of great credit for his unsparing efforts to advance the interests of the school. The hum of the threshing machine is heard on every hand, and farmers are beginning to learn the amount of grain they are to have this season. The yield of wheat is generally beyond the expectations of last spring. Mr. Alva STATER gets 20 bushels per acre of fine quality of wheat. Oats are heavy straw, but light yield of grain. Christopher CRABB, whose farm consists of but ten acres, has two acres of corn that looks the best of any we have seen in town. His method of culture differs somewhat from the ordinary one, and doubtless many large farmers might learn of him, greatly to their advantage. That was a very mean trick, stealing that wood belonging to Mr. Samuel SCOFIELD, and the thief is doubtless not aware how much is known respecting the affair. Prudence and safety suggest that that the matter be speedily adjusted. Delay will but increase the danger. ******** EAST ELBA. The Sunday school of the Methodist Episcopal church at East Elba held its annual picnic on Wednesday, Aug. 23d. The day was all that could be desired-and the well-arranged programme was carried out in good order. L.S. McINTYRE, the excellent superintendent, presided on the occasion with admirable skill and fine tact. The cornet band from Pine Hill, led by Alva BABCOCK, Esq., was present, and discoursed delicious music, to the great satisfaction of all. This was their maiden effort, and their debut before the public was highly creditable to the band, and was fully appreciated by the fine audience present. This school had the rare good sense to picnic near home, where all could join in the occasion; and the beautiful grove of A.D. MILLS, Esq., furnishes an admirable place for such an entertainment. The selections for recitation by the scholars were well chosen and finely rendered, showing both talent and good training. The choir performed admirably; and where all did so well, it may seem invidious to particularize. But we think all will justify special mention of the fine rendering of a solo by Miss Almira SMITH, of Pine Hill. Miss SMITH sang at the earnest solicitation of friends, who were more than gratified at the result. She possesses a voice of unusual sweetness and power, and she is carefully cultivating it for the noblest of service--sacred song. Mrs. TERRY sang, by request, with charming effect. Short and familiar talks were listened to from the Rev. E.A. WHEAT of Pine Hill, Mr. W. ROWLEY of Byron, the Rev. L. ATWATER of Pine Hill, the Rev. E. ALLEN of Byron, and the Rev. M.W. RIPLEY, pastor of the M.E. church of East Elba. The almost unlimited store of good things upon the neatly spread tables were freely distributed among the multitude, all of whom seemed highly delighted with the entire entertainment. Three good swings and plenty of good seats afforded both exercise and rest as each one desired. Guest. ******* CORFU. Mrs. Riley ANDERSON has been summoned to the bedside of her dying father at Hennepin, Illinois. Dr. McPHERSON is recovering from a severe attack of quinsy. Our trio of young men, consisting of Chas. GRIFFITH, Frank EDWARDS, and Dan. BROWN, returned on Saturday from a trip to Philadelphia and Washington. A.H. BROWN left on Wednesday for the "Centennaile." The pulpit of the Presbyterian church is being very acceptably filled by Rev. BIGELOW of Buffalo. We understand he is a candidate for the pastorship. Those interested will be pleased to learn that there will be a harvest dance at Union Hall on Friday eve., Sept. 12th, and that BARNUM's band will discourse the melody by which to "to chase the hours with flying feet." The annual picnic of the Presbyterian Sunday school will be held at Taylor Park on Thursday of this week. A good time is anticipated. An extensive fire raged in the woods northwest of the village on Sunday, which did considerable damage by burning timber and fences, everything being as dry as tinder. ******* DARIEN CENTER. Oh, that we might have a good rain, is the expression in these parts. Picnics seem to be the order of the day, and to all appearances are thriving better than any other class of business, especially those picnics to Taylor Park gotten up by the Buffalo lager-beer vendors and drinkers. To tell it all, these worshippers of Bacchus have even come here on the Sabbath to desecrate the day and to trample on the rights of every citizen in Darien. We are informed by good authority that a week ago last Sabbath the Erie Railway Company brought such a picnic as we have described from Buffalo to Taylor Park. They had a gay time dancing, drinking, carousing, and fighting. The Erie Railway managers have been lauded to the skies as temperance men, but we say this is temperance with a vengeance, when they for gain permit such devilish doings on the Sabbath. Must we be over-run by this God-defying rabble from the city? Must the good name of our town be tarnished and our soil desecrated on the Sabbath or any other day? Must our town be converted into a debauched beer-garden, where the vile do congregate? Our citizens are awake on this subject, and we would warn all concerned in this nefarious work to desist. Darien will have her rights, and she knows how to obtain them. A word to the wise is sufficient. Law & Order. ******* PEMBROKE. Pursuant to call the Republicans of this place met Saturday evening, August 26th. James RUSSELL, Esq., was chosen Chairman and R.W. BOYD Secretary. After a full interchange of thought and opinion, it was decided to form an organization to be known as the "HAYES & WHEELER Campaign Club of Pembroke," and to do battle with the common enemy in behalf of our nobel standard-bearers. ****** BERGEN. The Rev. H.C. WOODS, of this place, preached Friday morning last at the Silver Lake camp-meeting. J.T. FEEZLEAR was the representative of Wardville Lodge, No. 198, I.O.O.F., at the Grand Lodge in Rochester last week. G.N. BUELL, one of our wide-awake grocers, proposes to inflate his currency by taking a car-load of butter, eggs, and poultry to New York next Tuesday. Success to the venture! Matilda RANDOLPH, formerly of Bergen, changed her name to COLLYER last week Wednesday at Lansing, Mich., where she will make it her home. We extend our congratulations. At last we are to have a piquenique, as the French would say. The Sunday-schools of the M.E., Baptist, and Congregational churches are to unite in a picnic-excursion to Charlotte soon. Expectation stands on stilts. The educational corps of our school is now complete. E.P. GREEN is Principal, and his assistants are Mrs. C.A. SHADER and Misses Augusta DEAN and Alice WILCOX. The young idea should "shoot" vigorously under such instructors. School will begin the 18th. The Rev. A.M. STOWE, financial agent of the Auburn Theological Seminary, occupied the pulpit of the Congregational church last Sunday morning, and in the evening the Rev. Dr. DEAN, Baptist missionary from Bangkok, addressed the united congregations of the M.E., Baptist, and Congregational churches. Dr. DEAN went to China in 1834, and it has been his privilege to organize seven churches and baptize 400 converts. His address was very interesting and was listened to with almost breathless attention. Last Tuesday morning the summons came for which she had so long been waiting, and the spirit of Florence Marion HAMLIN took its flight to be forever with the Lord. During the winter of '74 she was brought to a knowledge of Christ as her Saviour, and soon after united with the Congregational church. Through her last illness, which was long protracted and accompanied with intense suffering, she was sustained by her Christian faith, and though longing to depart and be with Christ, yet patience had in her its perfect work. We mourn her loss, but not as those who have no hope. Wide-Awake. ******* NEIGHBORING COUNTIES. A new Republican paper is talked of at Lockport. The grape crop in Monroe county will be unusually large this year. Bath has a lawyer by the name of OXX.--The OXX knoweth his clients' crib. A Steuben county farmer claims to have cut forty tons of hay from eleven acres. The daily receipts of the Sunday school assembly at Fair Point were about $500. The DAVENPORT farm in Bath, Steuben Co., yields 40 1/2 bushels of wheat to the acre. Yates county apple trees have been damaged considerably by blight, and the fruit is "specky." A ten-acre field of oats near Holley was burned over a few days since. A poor way to harvest grain. Dogs still make havoc with the sheep flocks of Avon. Last week fifteen were killed in one flock. Mr. Wm. WEBSTER, one of the first settlers of Warsaw, Wyoming co., died a few days since, aged 90 years. Mr. Enos FARNHAM, of Alma, Allegany Co., is the owner of a lamb 15 weeks old that weighs 205 pounds. A pile of three hundred cords of tan-bark at Jasper, Steuben co., caught fire and was consumed one day last week. The Mt. Morris Union says that the SWETT Brothers have commenced drying one hundred barrels of sweet corn. A little 14 months old child tumbled into a wash-tub of water at Hornellsville a day or two since and was drowned. A fire in East Lockport, a few nights since, consumed four buildings. The fire was the work of an incendiary. We are sorry to hear that the publisher of the Buffalo Post is in financial trouble, and hope he may come out all right. The drug store of Joseph S. NORTON, of Belmont, was recently burglarized and robbed of $2,500 worth of goods. Livingston county has in its Alms House 65 males and 43 females; and in the Insane Asylum, 27 males and 25 females. A couple of Brockport gentlemen are about opening a fruit drying establishment. The drying is to be done by hot air. Arthur ROBBINS, living near Albion, atttempted suicide by poisoning himself a few days since. His recovery is doubtful. The Lyons Republican says: The apple crop in Wayne county has never given better promise at this time of the year than now. According to the estimate of the Orleans Democrat, one-half of the Orleans farmers will have to purchase their potatoes this year. The residence of Jacob PFEILER, of Attica, together with much of his household goods, was entirely destroyed by fire one day last week. Mamie, daughter of Joseph CONE, of Geneseo, formerly of Pavilion, died on the 22d ult., after a lingering illness, aged nine years. Mr. Wm. BRADFORD, of Brockport, has invented a bean harvester which is reported to work splendidly. O, how the bean-pullers will bless him! Geo. CLARK, while threshing grain in Yates, Orleans co., last week, had his leg caught and so crushed in the machinery it had to be amputated. The dairies near Holland, Erie Co., are suffering from a new cattle disease. James STANTON lost six cows, and Benj. WHALEY eleven. Other dairies are affected. Several serious fires have taken place recently along the line of the Erie, between Mt. Morris and Geneseo. One large field of clover seed was entirely consumed. A party of twenty sportsmen residing in Albion and vicinity have chartered a sleeping and baggage car, and will leave about the 10th of Sept. for a two weeks' hunt in Iowa. John NOONAN suicided at Adams' Basin, Monroe Co., on Friday morning last by cutting his own throat and then jumping into the canal. Believed to be a case of whiskey insanity. Prof. J.W. WHITNEY swam from the dummy light-house, in Lake Erie, to Niagara View, on Friday last, a distance of fourteen miles, in two hours and forty minutes, winning one hundred dollars thereby. The shingle-mill, fruit-basket factory and head-lining works of Bacon & Wilder, at Tonawanda, were burned, in some unknown manner, Friday night last. The loss is estimated at $7,000, on which there is no insurance. On Saturday last a barn on the premises of a farmer named CLARK, residing about a mile southeast of Avon, caught fire from a spark sent up by a portable engine used for threshing, and was destroyed, together with its entire contents. The Directors of the new Railroad co., between Lockport and Tonawanda, have sold the one hundred thousand dollars' worth of Lockport City bonds for five and seven-tenths per cent. premium, and the building of the road will soon be commenced. Concerning crops in Niagara county, a correspondent of the Lockport Journal says: "Our peach crop is an entire failure. Apples are blighted extremely bad. Potatoes are badly eaten by bugs. Oats do not yield as was expected they would, and beans are filling poorly." Victor SMITH, the murderer of Mrs. BOORMAN, at Rochester, still remains in about the same condition. Capital punishment men are in an agony of fear that he will not live long enough to be hung; and that the divine injunction, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed," will thus be nullified. The store of Michael BRADY, of Brockport, was visited by burglars Monday night last. They succeeded in making away with $262. ****** Dr. W.W. POTTER, Physician and Surgeon.

The Singers of Alexander, assisted by singers from North Darien and the Putnam Settlement, under the direction of Mr. M.H. ELLIOTT, gave an "old Folks' concert" last week in the M.E. church. The Concert was given for the purpose of raising funds to finish paying for the new organ. The church was crowded. The Alexander Cornet Band discoursed sweet music. The singing was "tip top," most of the performers being members of the Genesee Musical Association. The concert closed with the tableau, "America." About $50 were realized. * ALABAMA. We learn that the superstructure for the bridge across Tonawanda creek, in the town of Alabama, has been let to PALMER, WADSWORTH, & Co., of Buffalo. It is to be almost wholly of wrought iron; the beams also of iron; the roadway double planked. The bridge is to be of but one span of 114 feet in the clear. Two bridges on the same sight have already been swept away by high water and flood wood. The Commissioners propose to raise the abutments about three feet higher than the old ones, so that the superstructure will be above high water mark and by taking away the pier in the middle, it will in all probability be beyond danger of being carried away like its ephemeral predecessors. The bridge is to be constructed on the trapezoidal plan and so constructed that in case the road way should be burned, there will be no danger of its falling, and in such case or in case the plank should be worn out they could be replaced at any time. The Commissioners have taken much pains to inform themselves in reference to bridge structures, and are satisfied that the plan they have adopted is the best plan of bridge known. * GENESEE CIRCUIT-JUNE TERM.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 17, 1925 WIFE GETS SEPARATION IN DECISION Court of Appeals Says Israel Jacobstein Was Cruel and Inhuman in His Attitude Toward Mrs. Jacobstein Mrs. Tillie JACOBSTEIN of Cumberland street, wife of a Rochester and Syracuse cigar dealer, is upheld by the court of Appeals in a decree of separation obtained in the lower courts. The decision of the Court of Appeals holds that marital infidelity on the part of a husband constitutes cruel and inhuman treatment. Supreme Court Justice Benjamin B. CUNNINGHAM awarded Mrs. JACOBSTEIN a decree of separation in December, 1923, together with custody of the one child and alimony of $30 a week. Through his attorney, Philetus CHAMBERLAIN, Israel JACOBSTEIN appealed to the Appellate Division which affirmed Justice CUNNINGHAM'S decision by a vote of three to two. The case was then taken to the Court of Appeals at Albany with the noted result. Mrs. JACOBSTEIN charged that her husband was intimate with Mrs. Margaret S. SHULTERS, of Amity street, before and after their marriage. The JACOBSTEINS were married January 11, 1920. In his decision Justice CUNNINGHAM reviewed the charges of the plaintiff that the defendant was addicted to the use of intoxicating liquors and that he became intoxicated on an average of once a week, disproving this charge as he did the assertion made by the plaintiff that the defendant was an inveterate gambler. However, Justice CUNNINGHAM stated there was some reason for the plaintiff's belief. Taking up the question of marital infidelity, the court found that JACOBSTEIN had lived on terms of intimacy with Mrs. SHULTERS for eight years before his marriage, and that he had promised to marry her. While on their wedding trip, Mrs. JACOBSTEIN learned that Mrs. SHULTERS was about to start an action against her husband. JACOBSTEIN was seen leaving the home of Mrs. SHULTERS July 13, 1922, and immediately afterward went to Syracuse. Since that time he did not live with his wife nor attempt to live with her, the decision stated. **** DAUGHTERS OF SCOTIA TO MEET THIS EVENING Daughters of Scotia will meet this evening at Union league Hall when District Grand Deputy Past Chief Daughter Agnes WILLIAMSON will make her official visit. Farewell will also be said to Past Chief Daughter Margaret McKINLEY, grand Deputy of Lady Douglas Lodge, Syracuse, who sails with her husband for Scotland July 25.

EADIE is an employe of the Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation. He was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital in the ambulance. **** BOYS RING FIRE ALARM Police of the Joseph avenue station are busy looking for two small boys who, shortly after 10 o'clock this morning, pulled fire alarm box 57, at Portland avenue and Holbrooke street. Fire companies under Battalion Chief SLATTERY made the run. There was no fire. **** URGES TAIL LIGHTS FOR HORSES Chicago, July 17 - Alderman Donald McKINLEY introduced a bill requiring all saddle horses to wear ‘tail lights.'

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 17, 1925 MRS. ACKERMAN, 108 YEARS OLD, AND STILL HAD MANY FACULTIES; IS INMATE OF ST. ANN'S HOME (Photo) MRS ELIZABETH ACKERMAN Mrs. Elizabeth ACKERMAN, 108 years old last May, never even heard of Live a Little Longer Classes. Propped up on her pillows in her bed at St. Ann's Home she would rather talk about recipes for gingerbread and soup, the way she used to make it before old age crept up beside her, depriving her of the cottage and her little kitchen. There were no electric cleaners, electric washing machines or bread mixers in that kitchen in the early 1800's. Everybody worked hard, ate well and went to bed early nights. Authentic records show that Elizabeth RENWALD was born in Germany in 1817, coming to this country and to Rochester when she was seven years old. She was married in St. Joseph's Church and is perhaps its oldest member. She had four children, two sons and two daughters. Three of the children died before they were 20 years old and one of the daughters died while still a young woman so that Mrs. ACKERMAN is all alone in the world. Until 1899, when she was 82 years old, she still maintains her own home in the tiny cottage where she had brought up her family. When the small duties inside and the work in the garden outside became too much for her in addition to the work she was obliged to do to support herself, she retired to the old folk's home, then in Main street east. The nuns say that she was very active at that time, going out every day to help in some one's home and earn spending money. Even when she removed to the present institution in Lake avenue boulevard when it was built in 1906 Mrs. ACKERMAN was accustomed to go to her work in Kodak Park every day. She is now confined to her room, although she gets up several times a day to walk about in the corridors. Her hearing is good, although her sight has failed. She has no organic ailments and enjoys her meals as well as the average young person in excellent health. The old lady doesn't care to talk about old age. In fact she thinks it strange that she goes on living when her husband, the boys and girls passed on so long ago leaving her all alone with no one but strangers about her. When her memory reaches into the past at all it is to think about the little old kitchen where the good soup and molasses cake were made and where the bread was set at night by the light of home-made candies. Mrs. ACKERMAN is more interested in life than old age and all her thoughts of living longer, if she has any, center about the world beyond. **** SUFFERS SEVERE CUT ON FOREHEAD WHEN CAR HITS POLE NEAR AVOCA Avoca, July 17 - Mr. and Mrs. Joseph BUKOWSKI and three sons of Wilkesbarre, Pa., were all badly shaken up, Mrs. BUKOWSKI receiving a severe cut on her forehead, when the Packard sedan in which they were riding left the road and hit a large pole at Redmond's Corners, two miles east of here yesterday afternoon. The party was on its way to visit friends in Buffalo and Detroit when the accident happened. Mr. BUKOWSKI turned out to avoid hitting a car which stopped suddenly and ran his machine into the pole. Mrs. BUKOWSKI was thrown against the top of the car with such force that she suffered a very deep cut on her forehead. Her wounds were dressed by Dr. F. H. LAPP. They spent the night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William F. JACKSON here.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 17, 1925 MISSING WOMAN FOUND; TELLS STORY OF BEING KIDNAPED BY CHINESE Calexico, Cal., July 17 - Claiming she was kidnaped by Chinese and carried, blindfolded and gagged, in a moving vehicle, toward the Mexican border, 240 miles home, Mrs. Virginia Lee COOKSON, wealthy authoress, sought refuge with the police here during the night. Early today, she was still hysterical and unable to give a clear account of her adventure. A posse of 30 men had searched the hills around Santa Ana for Mrs. COOKSON since her disappearance early this week. She had left notes, telling of a premonition of death, and directing disposition of her affairs. When she staggered up to Sergeant Holmes WILLIS of Calexico's night force and begged refuge in his home, Mrs. COOKSON wore no shoes, her clothing was disheveled, and she was in a hysterical condition. She told the wife of Sergeant WILLIS, who took her in for the night, that she had been driving in her automobile near Santa Anna Tuesday night when a car filled with Chinese which had been following her, drew up alongside and forced her from the road. Mrs. COOKSON said she was overpowered, bound, gagged and placed in what seemed to be a covered wagon. She lost consciousness, she said, until reaching Calexico, 240 miles to the south. Here she found herself a prisoner in a den of Orientals. The authoress told of befriending a Chinese youth, who aided her to escape. She said she never had seen her assailants before, but believes they intended carrying her across the border. **** JUDGE HAS NO FAVORITES Connersville, Ind., July 17 - "They all look alike to me when they stand in front of the bar," said Police Judge OC?FLTREE as he fined his cousin, E.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union July 17, 1925 MURDERS HIS BENEFACTOR TO GET $13 Schenectady, July 17 - For the insignificant sum of $13, Hayden SMITH, 17-year-old youth, of this city, today stands in the shadow of the electric chair. SMITH, according to a confession county officials say he made, planned the murder and robbery of Ziba C. NICKERSON of Chatham, Mass., while NICKERSON was getting a telegraph money order for $15 cashed on the afternoon of July 4. NICKERSON had befriended SMITH when he found him trudging along the road near Cleveland, O., and had given him a lift in his automobile to this city, his home town. NICKERSON ran out of funds when he reached here, and telegraphed his relatives for money, SMITH then took NICKERSON to his home and kept him there while he was awaiting arrival of the money. On the afternoon of the national holiday. NICKERSON received work his money was at the telegraph office and drove down there with SMITH. According to the county authorities SMITH conceived the idea of murder and robbery while NICKERSON was collecting the money. The two drove around the city for a time, and then NICKERSON permitted SMITH to drive the car and on a lonely road the youth deliberately stalled the car. While NICKERSON looked over the motor, SMITH drew a revolver belonging to his friend and shot him five times. He did not get the $15, however, finding but $13, a watch and ring. These latter he threw away, the alleged confession states. His net proceeds were $13 and an automobile. He made no attempt to dispose of the machine. Today, according to the jailer, SMITH is smiling and happy, apparently; the thought of going to the electric chair for $13 is not giving him the least bit of concern. "I feel better now that I have this off my mind," Sheriff MYERS quoted SMITH as saying after he made his confession. "It had been worrying me." No mention of the $13 — the figure considered an omen of ill luck — and what his desire for it is apt to cost him. **** FRENCHMEN ACCUSED OF KEEPING HIS WIFE CHAINED IN CHATEAU Paris, July 17 - Accused of keeping his wealthy wife chained up for two years in her chateau near Chatenay, Charles SOLER, head of a Paris manufacturing company, and a close friend of a former president of the republic is under arrest, together with his "secretary."

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY Friday Evening, November 4 1887 Weather Indications. --For Western New York: Fair weather; a slight rise, followed by falling temperature; brisk to high southwest and northwest winds, diminishing in force. * IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH. "Happy Bob" Van BRUNT Visited in the Warsaw Jail. He Has Given Up All Hope of Relief, but He Thinks that Imprisonment for Life Would be Sufficient Punishment for Him. Robert, otherwise known as "Happy Bob" Van BRUNT, who is to be hanged at Warsaw Thursday, December 8th, for the murder at Castile of Will ROY, with whose sister he was in live, was visited in jail on Tuesday by a reporter, who found him cheerful and self-possessed. He says he is growing more nervous and not able to read or study so much as usual because his head troubles him, but on the whole his health is excellent. In reference to the paper read by him on Saturday, when he was sentenced, he said he didn't expect it would do any good, but thought he might have no other chance to express his opinion. He wishes to have every possible step taken toward saving his life, though he has long looked death in the face unflinchingly. He spoke most gratefully of the faithfulness of his counsel, and said that his greatest comfort all along had been the thought that even if everyone else doubted him, General THAYER believed that he was not lying when he said the murder of Will ROY was done without premeditation. He didn't think petitions to the Governor amounted to much. He said he did not ask for sympathy, but only justice, and that, while he thought he should atone for the killing of poor Will ROY by life-long imprisonment, he did not think the extreme penalty of the law should be carried out, for the reason that the crime was unpremeditated. In the paper that Van BRUNT read in court he argued as strongly as he knew how that the crime he committed was not premeditated and contradicted the testimony of some of the witnesses for the prosecution. In conclusion he said: "The statement made by witnesses that I used the words 'I shoot to kill,' are false. I could not have used such words, for it would have been a lie. Such statements that I used threats against the life of the girl I loved better than my life, and against the life of her father, are hellish and devilish in their falseness. Your Honor, I have no more to say. I have tried with the little ability that God has given me to show why the extreme penalty of the law should not be carried out. In the hands of the God of all men I leave the rest." * Col. ROWE's Lecture. The lecture delivered at the Casino Rink last evening on "The Sunny and Cloudy Side of the late Rebellion" by Col. ROWE of Rochester was largely attended. Col. ROWE is a very interesting speaker and his lecture was highly enjoyed by all who attended. Upton POST, under whose auspices it was delivered, will realize a handsome sum from it. * PATENT ELECTION STICKERS. Every candidate for office should have them to place in the hands of a friend in each election district, gummed and placed on a card ready for use. The best an most convenient sticker made. Printed and for sale at The Daily News office. Orders should be given without delay. * CENTARIAN MILLER FAILING. Byron cor. the Batavian. Mr. Dewey MILLER, Byron's venerable centenarian, is reported to be quite rapidly failing in health and strength. Oct. 8th, when his 100th birthday anniversary was celebrated, he came into the room where the public exercises were being held and spoke intelligently to the large assemblage. Now his is not able to leave his bed, and undoubtedly his earthly career will soon be closed. * A WOMAN AS SCHOOL COMMISSIONER. Miss Jennie WHITE writing from Coudersport, Potter county, Pa., in regard to the candidacy of Miss Harriette S. DICKINSON for School Commissioner of Genesee county, says: " A woman has held the position in this county for the past six years, to the credit of her sex, the good of the schools, and the satisfaction of the people of the county." * CALLED HOME TO BE SURPRISED. Mr. Charles M. ROBSON of Batavia, who was in Ithaca yesterday morning and did not intend to return home for a day or two, received a telegram from his wife, reading: "Come home at once." Believing there was sickness, Mr. ROBSON hurried home, reaching here last evening, when he was promptly made the victim of a surprise party gotten up by Mrs. ROBSON, the occasion being her husband's birthday. Many neighbors and friends were present, all of whom thoroughly enjoyed themselves. During the evening Mr. ROBSON was presented with a secretary and an easy chair. Mr. John H. YATES made the presentation speech, talking impressively and eloquently, and Mr. ROBSON appropriately responded. * MR. HAMLIN'S WONDERFUL TEAM. One of the most notable performances that ever took place at the Buffalo Driving park was witnessed there yesterday afternoon by about three-hundred people who had assembled owing to the announcement that Belle Hamlin and Justina, C.J. HAMLIN's two famous mares, would be driven to a pole to beat 2.20. Mr. HAMLIN, who is 68 years old, drove the team himself. The quarter was made in 34 3/4 seconds, the half in 1:08 3/4, the third quarter in 1:44 and the mile in 2.18, breaking the world's record, Mr. HAMLIN being the only man who ever bred, raised, owned and drove a pair of horses in that time. * REMAINS OF A BIG SQUAW EXHUMED. Mr. W.H. ANDERSON of Le Roy, says a correspondent, on Tuesday resurrected a nearly complete Indian skeleton of massive size at Fort Hill. The skeleton, which is thought to be that of a woman, will be placed with a collection belonging to a gentleman residing at Scranton. The bones are very large. The body was found about two and a half feet under ground, and had the appearance of having been inclosed in bark when buried. Quite a number of trinkets lay beside it, such as beads, etc. * ADOPTED REGULATIONS. The Board of Health and Dr. PATTEN, the Health Officer, met at the offices of L.L. CROSBY, clerk of the Board, this forenoon and prepared rules and regulations, which are to be printed in book form. The regulations adopted were those recommended by the State Board of Health, with a few alterations. * DRILLING AT A RAPID RATE. Five Feet an Hour Being Made--A Man Who Nearly Lost His Watch. At the gas well everything is moving smoothly and the drill continues to sink through the hydraulic limestone with comparative ease. This morning the hole was something over 400 feet deep. An average of five feet an hour is made now, and if no accidents happen it will be known in a short time whether the well contains anything or is merely a "dry hole." The drillers are of the opinion that no wells will be put down on the FARGO farm until this well is completed and they say if nothing is found here nothing will be done there. They say this Anchor Oil Company, which Mr. O'DONNELL represents, is nothing more or less than the Standard Oil Company of monopoly fame. A gentleman who is a daily visitor at the well and who is very much interested in the work, came very near losing his time-piece a few days since on account of his eagerness. He was very anxious to know when the drill was to be brought up and changed and was standing close to the rope with his watch in hand. Driller WOODWARD was turning the handle-bar attached to the rope and when it came to the side where the gentleman was standing it struck his watch, breaking the chain and knocking it from his hand. It fell and very nearly went into the hole. * THE NEWS IN BERGEN. A Young Man's Collar Bone Broken.--Various Other Matters.

Judging from her ravings she was subject to abuse for several days. At one time she exclaimed: "You have a mother, sir, and before you commit this crime think of her. I beg of you, sir, don't touch me, but let me go and I will bless you." She was found Sunday evening wandering on the street, dazed and bewildered. She grew worse rapidly and was brought to Hartford yesterday for safety. * Los Angeles, Cal. - Hattie WOLSTEIN, the alleged murderess of Dr. HARLAN, was yesterday held on trial for the murder.

The Presence of Mind of Two Michigan Women Saved their Lives. Houghton, Mich., Nov. 4.--Dolphie BRUNELLE, a farmer near here, was called from his home Wednesday and left his wife and daughter, the latter aged 17, alone. Mrs. BRUNELLE heard a noise in the calf-pen late in the evening and she and her daughter went out with a lantern to see what was the matter. They found the barn surrounded by wolves and before the women had time to retreat the ferocious animals surrounded them. The brutes were afraid of the lanterns and retreated whenever it was swung towards them, but Mrs. BRUNELLE dared not swing the lantern violently for fear it would go out. With remarkable courage she worked her way step by step toward the barn, keeping the wolves at bay with the lantern. After ten minutes of the greatest ordeal she managed to reach a pitchfork and while the daughter swung the lantern she attacked the wolves with a fork, finally succeeded in getting into the barn and closing the door. Then both fainted. * submitted by L.C. Schmidt
