Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican June 21, 1849 FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CANAL As the line boat Perry was passing under the bridge, below the first lock east of the city, a woman named VANWORMER, from Poughkeepsie, was killed in the following manner: One of the hands as customary, called out "Bridge," when she left the stern of the boat, in order, it is supposed, to proceed to the bow, but found it necessary to be down about the centre of the deck. We are informed that she raised her head just as she approached the bridge, when the stringer came in contact with the side of her head, breaking the bone, and forcing it in upon her brain. She lived till the boat reached the city, when her husband (who was here to meet her) went on board just in time to see her breathe her last. She was about 45 years of age. A German named SANDMAN, an emigrant on his way to Illinois was also somewhat injured by coming in contact with the unfortunate lady at the time of the accident. We could not learn precisely the state of his situation, as he could not speak the English language. Coroner STONE held an inquest over the body of Mrs. VAN WORMER, and the jury returned a verdict of accidental death, in accordance with the above facts. It appears that the boat Perry is not higher than such boats are commonly built, and she had a freight of twenty-five tons, exclusive of her passengers and luggage. It is said that this bridge has settled, and is one of the lowest on the line of the canal. A man had his leg broke at the same place, some time since, by having it caught under the bridge. We recollect several years ago that a lady was killed at the next bridge above the one alluded to, under somewhat similar circumstances, on the boat Henry Vail: We think that these bridges will soon become a fit subject for the consideration of the Canal authorities. ** SAD ACCIDENT - A despatch from New York News, dated Binghamton, the 11th, says, at about twenty minutes before 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, a man by the name of SMITH, having a lady, and a girl about fourteen years of age, in a wagon with him, attempted to cross the track at Nauticoke Creek, ahead of the passenger train from New York. The engine came in collision with the horse, killing him instantly, and pitching the girl out of the wagon under the engine, killing her on the spot, upsetting the vehicle down an embankment, breaking the lady's leg in two places, and dislocating one of her shoulders. SMITH was somewhat bruised, and is wholly at fault, as he saw the train approaching before he attempted to cross the track. One of the passenger cars was thrown off, but fortunately no one was injured. The coroner's verdict attaches no blame to the railroad. ** HORRIBLE MURDER OF A YOUNG GIRL - The body of a girl of ill fame, named Elizabeth RING, aged about 18 or 19 years, was found by some persons brutally murdered near the slaughter house of Mr. JUDSON, not far from the Two Mile House on the Schenectady Turnpike. When found she was lying in a swamp, dead, her person stabbed in several places, one of which, in her side, probably caused her death. She had evidently ain(?) There some time, and her body was partially covered with leaves as if an attempt at concealment had been made. For a short time previous she had been living with a man named Edward SNOOKS, residing in the Bowery, who had turned his wife out of doors, and then retreated to the country. Suspicion we are informed rests upon SNOOKS. She was a young and rather pretty, tho' misguided girl, and we learn has respectable relatives in Kinderhook, Columbia county, who are probably not aware of her fate. The police should at least make an investigation of this affair, and endeavor to bring the guilty parties to justice. - [Alb. Knick.] ** DREADFUL ACCIDENT - A man named George HORN fell from the train of cars near Fairmount, Pa., on Tuesday, and nearly the whole train passed over his left leg and arm, cutting them completely off. He is not expected to recover. ** AN EX-SHERIFF THROWN OVERBOARD The long agony of the aspirants for the favor of Collector POND is over. The nominations for the deputyships have been made, and that too by a compromise that will please neither the friends or foes of the Collector. Ex-sheriff PARDEE, who constitutes one half of the whig force in the city, has been sacrificed for the first time, and a dozen working whigs, who were never before permitted to indulge in a hope of preferment, have shared the same fate, and family consideration have triumphed over both in the nomination of G. B. HANNAHS, a relative of the Collector. Jared COLEMAN, Esq., a very clever fellow, has received the nomination for the other city deputyship, and Phineas B. COOK has the appointment at the mouth of the river. Whigs of Rochester and Monroe ! Ye who fought so bravely in the campaign of ‘ 48, to sustain the tottering fortunes of the Buena Vista here - ye who rallied to close the breach made in your political ramparts by Senator FULLER - ye who stifled every emotion of honor and shame by plastering upon the stars and stripes the incongruous watchwords Taylor and Free Soil," - ye who have ever upheld the "Great Whig Party" while wallowing in the slough of ?ol?ical corruption - are ye satisfied with this reward for your toil? Don't all speak at once, gentlemen, lest the vaulted arch above should be rent by a deafening NO! ** "THE LITTLE BUSY BEE." - Col. GOODHUE of Wheatland, has a hive of bees fifteen years old, from which he had a new swarm a day or two since. This hive three swarms a year for the first successive four years, and has had one or two swarms a year from it since. The hive has remained in one place during the whole time, entirely undisturbed. If any body else can produce a parallel to this, we should like to record it. We believe this bee hive cannot be beaten. ** MARRIED In this city, on the 19th inst., by Rev. Mr. McLLVAIN, Isaac R.
