The Batavia Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY July 1 1887 cont'd MR. TOMPKINS SUES FOR HIS HEDGE Richard G. TOMPKINS, who complained to the Board of Aldermen on June 15th that Health-Officer PALMER had destroyed eighty feet of his hedge fence on Ellicott street that day, and who wanted to know, but didn't Finn out, who gave the Health-Officer instructions, has brought suit for damages against Dr. PALMER and Aldermen EBLING, SHORT and SHULTS. He claims that the Health Officer was working under the orders of the Aldermen named. The suit will come off before Justice CROSBY next Wednesday. * LUXURIES FOR THE FOURTH. Mrs. NORTON will be well supplied with sandwiches, cakes, pies, cookies, etc., at her bakery on Jackson street. Also warm meals, ice cream, and lemonade all day July 4th at Mrs. H.J. DELANO's room, opposite the Opera House. Mrs. Minnie NORTON * BASE BALL NOTES. The Le Roy Gazette devotes a column this week to trying to prove that the base ball people of that village are not the greatest "kickers" in the Western New York League. And there is a man in Brockport trying to prove that the earth is flat. Work has been commenced upon the extension to the grand stand on the Association's grounds. It will be extended 50 feet to the south. A large banner, on which is inscribed "Base Ball To-day", is suspended across Main street. The banner is the work of F. RAMSDELL. Perry versus Batavia at the Swan street grounds this afternoon. * WESTERN NEW YORK PATENTS. Following is the list of patents granted to residents of Western New York for the week ending June 28th, furnished The News by Major O.E. DUFFY, No. 607 Seventh street, Washington, D.C.: G.L. ABBOTT, Corning, globe for electric lamps; J.M. BLAKE, Buffalo, lumber wagon; G.A. BOWEN, Medina, machine for making sand ores; W. BRADFORD, Brockport, potato digger; S.W. LOWELL, Belfast, evaporator; W.H. SEVERSON, Seneca Falls, hose cart' M. WATRON, Rochester, safety check valve. * FRUITLESS APPEAL OF A HOTEL MAN. Bergen, July 1.--B. HARFORD, a proprietor of the Harford House, upon which he has laid out a large sum of money for improvements and refurnishing, making it far superior to any other country hotel in Western New York, called the Board of Excise together last evening to consider his application for a license. The Board met and passed the following resolution: Resolved, That this Board will grant no licenses during the remainder of its official year, ending the first Monday of May, 1888. In accordance with the above resolution, the Harford application was rejected. It seems a little strange that the liquor with which the much-talked-about Dr. VAN ALLEN became intoxicated last Monday night should have been obtained in Bergen, which has been classed as a "dry" town since last May. Probably the "dryness" is more apparent than real. * EVENTS IN PAVILION. Pavilion, July 1.--There has been some talk that the Gilmore A.W. Co. are to enlarge their capacity here and are desirous of purchasing the blacksmith property of Wm. BUCKINGHAM, which lies adjoining. It is now decided that John COLE will at once put a new dwelling on the old Presbyterian church lot, which he recently purchased. A gospel temperance address will be given at the M.E. church on Sunday evening next. It is not decided who the speaker will be. The Baptist society in this place are without a pastor, the Rev. D.C. HERRELL's time having expired. There is found difficulty in raising his salary for another year. Although not of that faith, yet we hope he may be retained, as he is very much respected and an able and interesting preacher. J.Q.D. PAGE has begun the manufacture of apple barrels and his large store house with a capacity for holding several thousand barrels is being rapidly completed. Master Geo. HERRELL is having a tussle with the measles, the only casein town as yet. Mrs. Austin WALKER and daughter of Niles, Mich., are visiting at her brother's, M.S. STARR's. One of our prominent citizens will have a surprise party on Saturday afternoon. No names until next week. * submitted by L.C. Schmidt
