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.
