The last previous occasion upon which it was disposed of was when it was sold on the foreclosure of a mortgage held by the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York and was purchased by that company. The company sold it to Mary LEE of Syracuse and took a mortgage to secure part of the purchase price. Mrs. LEE, in turn, sold it to John I. TANNER of Buffalo. ++ POLICE COURT CASES. Police-Justice WOODWARD had a busy morning. Seven tramps were first arraigned. They were all questioned closely and then discharged, with the exception of Harry ARMSTRONG, who was sentenced to the penitentiary for sixty days. Lafayette Van ALST, a young fellow who lives on Seaver place and who was locked in the jail last night, having been arrested by Officer HORSCH, was next arraigned. The charge of assault in the third degree had been preferred against him by Captain Frank C. HATCH of the Salvation Army, who alleges that Van ALST entered the barracks last evening and made trouble, striking the Captain in the eye. A badly banged-up left optic was exhibited as evidence. Van ALST denied the allegations, pleaded not guilty, and called for a trial jury, which was set down for Tuesday of next week at 10 o'clock. William E. WEBSTER appeared for him. Van ALST's bail was fixed at $100 and his mother went on his bond. Frank KELLY, a sick tramp, who struck Batavia about 1 o'clock this morning in a half-frozen condition, was then brought up from the jail. He said he was from Waterville. He was discharged. ++ Handsome Corset Display. In one of the show windows of R.O. HOLDEN & Son's store there is an extremely handsome display of the Kabo corsets, an exhibit of which is being made at that establishment. The main feature of the display is a life-size wax figure of a beautiful woman, a tennis player, who wears a Kabo corset, of course, while around her are grouped all of the 1897 patterns of the Kabo. ++ HACKMAN FOUND IN THE SNOW. A few minutes before 12 o'clock last night while Henry G. BUISCH, Jr., was on his way to his home on Washington avenue he noticed a man lying in the road about midway between Jefferson avenue and State street. Investigation developed the fact that the prostrate form was that of Timothy FOLEY, the hackman, who lives at No. 12 South Liberty street. That he had fallen from his rig while under the influence of liquor was evident. About an hour previous Officer PLATO discovered FOLEY's team wandering about on Main street, and as the driver failed to show up, the officer took the horses home. FOLEY's face was covered with blood from a gash in the cheek, probably sustained by the fall. BUISCH retraced his steps down-town and notified Officers GRIFFIS and McCULLEY, who walked down to the scene and carried the man down State street, where Dr. SHOWERMAN was met. FOLEY's son Fred was notified, and took his father home. Dr. SHOWERMAN dressed the injuries. FOLEY, who was under the influence of liquor in the morning, was ordered home by Officer PLATO and at that time drove away. ++ submitted by Linda C. Schmidt
