The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State April 22-1891 MR. RUPPRECHT MAY BUILD A BARN. Ex-Mayor George RUPPRECHT is contemplating building a mammoth livery barn on his vacant lot just east of St. James' church, instead of two dwelling houses, as he believes it would be a better investment. If he decides to erect the barn it will be built under the direction of Dennis K. CHADDOCK, who will rent it for a livery and sales stable. It will be of brick, three stories high, the first for stabling, the second for the livery horses and carriages and the third for hay and storage, and will be modeled somewhat after an immense barn in Buffalo, which accommodates 400 horses. The stables and standing room combined will accommodate nearly 300 horses. ++ MARION INVESTORS SELL OUT. It is stated that all the gentlemen interested in the Marion Land Syndicate of Batavia, except J.C. GUITEAU and William CARPENTER, have disposed of their interests in Marion to C.F.

HUTCHINS, on Wednesday evening, but the deal has been kept very quiet. ++ MRS. ANN BARTHOLF DEAD. The death of Mrs. Ann N.

The Warsaw 'New Yorker' says: "An item gatherer of this paper, being in Batavia one day last week, and walking along the street with a friend about the hour of noon, noticed a large number of nicely-dressed ladies and gentlemen coming out of the main entrance of a large, three-story brick building, not far from the 'temple of justice,' and inquired what church or institution it was. The answer came quickly: 'Why, that is our new shoe factory; there are over two hundred and fifty people employed there, and they all dress well and behave as well as they dress.' Evidently the shoe factory and the people employed in it are a valuable addition to the business and population of our sister village." ++ CORNELL EXAMINATIONS.
