The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY May 18-1896 Two Gold Medals Won The Johnston Harvester company received a cablegram from Paris this noon announcing that their machines had received two gold medals in a field trial of harvesting implements recently held in Algiers, Africa, under government auspices. The prize winning machines were the "Bonnie" binder and "Globe" mower, and each received a gold medal, which was the highest award to implements of this class. All the prominent American manufactures of harvesting machinery were represented in the trial. This victory starts the Harvester company's season off under very gratifying conditions, it being the first competition in which they were entered. + Ruins Set on Fire. The fourth fire alarm of the year was sent in from box 21 at the corner of East Main and Ross streets at 11:45 o'clock last night. It was a particularly bad night for a fire and the firemen responded with the greatest possible speed. They found the ruins of the Benjamin TOZER house at No. 131 Ross street in flames. This dwelling was partially burned on June 9th of last year. The ruins were burning briskly when the firemen got there, and sparks and burning brands were being carried far to the east by the wind, which was blowing quite hard, but not as hard as during the day yesterday, or later in the night. The ruins were pulled down by the Hooks and the flames were soon extinguished. There seems to be no doubt that the fire was set. While the burning of the ruins caused no damage the time was very opportune for serious results. + Another Bethany Pioneer. Francis E. NOTT, for 64 years a resident of Bethany, died on Saturday, at 5 p.m. at his home at Bethany Center of a heart and kidney trouble, aged 83 years. He had been in ill health for a long time, but his last illness was of about three months' duration. Mr. NOTT was born in England and came to this country and settled in Bethany when he was 19 years old. He was a brother-in-law of Erastus D. HARDING, of Bethany, who died last Wednesday.

SPENCER of this village, and a daughter, Mrs. Florence SKELTON of Colville, Wash. + Plea for the Birds. The Rev. J.H. DURKEE delivered an interesting sermon on the subject of "Birds" at the Free Baptist church yesterday morning, taking as his text, The Songs of Solomon ii, 1, a part of the verse: "The time of singing of the bird is come." Mr. DURKEE referred to the positions of note occupied by birds in Bible history. They were used in sacrifices, Christ taught about them and a dove descended upon him at the time of His baptism. The speaker also told of some of the birds of this latitude and emphasized the fact that it was wrong to destroy bird life by robbing nests and wrong to kill birds for sport. Mr. DURKEE made a strong protest against the practice of killing song birds and using their stuffed skins to decorate women's hats. After the sermon Miss Gladys CASE recited Longfellow's "The Birds of Killingworth" in an effective manner. + Coming Matrimonial Event. Mr. and Mrs. Cyrus A.

When 14 years of age he went to New York and engaged as a clerk in a drugstore, soon afterward entering the New York College of Pharmacy, graduating in 1885 and becoming manager of the private pharmacy of the late Dr. S. Fleet SPIER of Brooklyn. He had been engaged in the drug business himself for about six years, and was President of the Kings County Pharmaceutical society in 1894-95. His health began to fail in the early part of last year, when he took a long vacation to his old home in Stafford, but the change failed to permanently benefit him. + Liberal Contributions for the Cubans. The First Baptist church on Sunday took up a special collection for the suffering Cubans which amounted to about $21 and which was turned over to the King's Daughters. In addition to this, individual members of the church have sent away enough more to bring the sum up to $50. Eight bundles were received at C.E. PERRY's store yesterday and a quantity of supplies was also received at LAWYER's bakery for the Daughters. + Le Roy Light Order Not Yet Prepared. Owing to the fact that William F.

MARION of Lockport is conducing a series of revival meetings at Bethany Center this week and is expected to be here next week. Mr. and Mrs. Loren FLEMING, who have given up farming, are now residing with their son, George. Miss Sophy PAGE is home from Cornell on a short vacation.

L.J. TOMPKINS. + CLANCY on the Stand. The twelfth juror was accepted yesterday in the case of Edward CLARK, on trial in Buffalo for murder on charge of killing Kittie HOUSEMAN, who once lived in Batavia and Le Roy. In opening the case of Assistant-District-Attorney PENNEY said that the prosecution expected to prove that CLARK killed the woman with a railroad brake key. Arthur ROCKWOOD, a civil engineer, exhibited plans of the room in which the woman was murdered and Dr. NASH, post-mortem examiner, and Dr. HALLER told about the woman's injuries. On the cross examination Frank A. ABBOTT, CLARK's attorney, endeavored to make the doctors say that the fracture in the woman' s skull might have been caused by a fall. Thomas CLANCY, who was with CLARK and the woman on the night of the murder and who discovered the body the following morning, was on the stand a long time. He said the woman lived with him for a time on two occasions and acknowledged that he had struck her, but said he never knocked her down. He had heard CLARK threaten to kill the woman and also threaten to kill him because of jealousy. He played cards and drank beer with CLARK and the woman on the night of the murder. After he retired to his room he thought he heard some one cry "Murder!" and he went to CLARK's room. The door was locked and all was quiet inside. Coroner KENNEY and Patrolman PYNE were the other witnesses called yesterday. + Spring Millinery Opening. Miss L.J. TOMPKINS's spring millinery opening is in progress today and will continue tomorrow. The store has been crowded all day with representatives of the fair sex who have feasted their eyes upon the dazzling display of colors in all the newest things in millinery. Flowers of the most beautiful shades are to be seen everywhere and a reporter learned that they are to be used more than ever before this season. The color which will be used most, perhaps, is yellow, the shades of which range from the lightest corn to burnt orange. Turquoise, too, will be used much. Dotted malines will be much in evidence for trimmings. Some of the shapes of the pattern hats are very unique, while others are revivals of old styles, such as the Shepherdess. One large double-deck case is filled with novelties imported from Paris including flowers of great beauty, braids, berets and ornaments. This display is the largest and finest that Miss TOMPKINS has ever shown and it is safe to predict that her customers will give substantial evidences of their appreciation of her enterprise. The young lady who occupies the corner show window is fair to look upon. She is attired in the latest colorings and her hair is dressed in the latest style. In preparing for the opening Miss TOMPKINS has added another room to her already large and complete establishment. It is a cosy and tastily furnished little apartment where hats may be tried on in privacy. + Low Rate Excursions to Washington. The Lehigh Valley will run one of its popular low-rate excursions to Washington on Thursday, April 14th.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State November 29-1881 What We See, and What We Hear. The foundation walls of the new Erie Railroad depot are fast going up. The Board of Supervisors has appropriated $100 for religious services at the County House for the ensuing year. Mr. Russel L. KINSEY, of Darien, after a vacation of three months, has resumed his studies in M.H. PECK's law office. Mr. and Mrs. EVEREST have returned from the east. Mr. E. officiated at the funeral of the late Alfred W. RICHMOND on Monday afternoon. Mr. Jas. F. HAMILTON, a former prominent farmer in the northwest part of this town, recently died in Clinton, Wisconsin, aged 52 years. Mr. P.P. BRADISH, of the Genesee Agricultural Works, in an adjoining column presents his annual circular to the farmers of Genesee county. Miss Livinia TOMPKINS has purchased the business and stock of Millinery, of Mrs. MOLONEY, and will conduct the business in future at the old stand. J.F. PRUE, of Alexander, has tried credit business for the past eight months and don't like it. He announces that after the 30th inst. he will sell groceries very cheap, for cash only. Mr. Wm. E. KERSLAKE, for many years a clerk in T.F. WOODWARD's store, has leased the store of M.J. MORSE, adjoining, and will soon open the same with a full line of boots and shoes. Attica's young woman has set the fashion of hanging her "mushroom hat" on the back of the seat during a performance, putting on her head in the place of it, a worsted-worked "fascinator." Vennor in his weather prophecies says of December: "This, I believe, will be one of the Decembers that will cause inquiry of the oldest inhabitants as to whether there ever had been such a December before." "Bury Me Near the Old Home" is the latest Song and Chorus, by Will. L. THOMPSON. Price 35 cents. Since the death of President GARFIELD the sentiment expressed in this beautiful song has become universal. The melody is very pretty, and already the piece has become a great favorite. + The Catholic School Property Sold. The stone school building situated on Jackson street and owned by the Catholic Church Society has been sold to Josiah LORISH, of this village, for $3,000. Mr. LORISH purchased a strip of land north of the building about five feet wide, making a frontage of 35 feet and 8 inches. The property extends 95 feet back, and the Catholic people reserve an alleyway 18 feet wide back of it, as well as the lane on the south side of the building. It is understood that Mr. LORISH will make very extensive alterations and repairs to the building, and fit it up for the occupancy of his son, L.C. LORISH, who will remove his grocery thither. The floors will be lowered, a new front put in and an addition of several feet built on to the rear. The improvements will cost in the neighborhood of $2,000. + The Buffalo Body Snatchers. Last week we published the particulars of the body snatching affair in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo, and the unsuccessful attempt to capture the ghouls. The mystery has at last been solved. It seems that when BURNHAM was taken sick (?) at THOMAS,' Babcock street, he employed Dr. COLTON, and shortly after, with his confederates, obtained a draft certificate in his name. A body of a man some sixty years old was obtained and the Lancaster man employed to bury it in Forest Lawn. In a few days BURNHAM and his pals got the idea that the insurance companies in which he was heavily insured, suspecting foul play, intended to exhume the body. He was fearful for his own safety, and with others attempted to raise the body and make away with it. But in this he was not successful, as everybody knows. The body was brought down town and Dr. BAKER, Coroner FOWLER and others made an examination and found it full of arsenic evidently used for preserving. + Wedding Bells. On Wednesday afternoon last a very happy wedding party assembled at the residence of Mrs. GRISWOLD, on Summit street, the occasion being the marriage of District Attorney Safford E. NORTH and Miss Cora M. GRISWOLD, sister of Mr. Gerrit GRISWOLD, editor of the 'News.' The nuptial knot was tied by Rev. H.L. EVEREST, rector of St. James' church, a select party of relatives and friends witnessing the ceremony, after which, happy congratulations and greetings were in order. The presents were numerous, elegant and appropriate.--The bridal party left on the afternoon express train for Ithaca, where they will spend a short honeymoon among friends, official business requiring Mr. NORTH's presence here at court next week. + Personal Paragraphs. Miss Katie BUELL, who is attending the Brockport Normal School, spent Thanksgiving with her parents on Ellicott Ave. Mr. Chas. W. GOULD, Revenue Collector, Buffalo, spent Thanksgiving at his father's residence in Batavia. Master Will SMITH, a student at Hobart College, also spent Thanksgiving at home. Miss THRALL and her niece, Miss Cornelia KNIGHT, are spending a few days with friends in Waterloo. Mr.and Mrs. George WASHBURN, who have been traveling during the summer in California, are expected home in a few days. + From California. Letter from J.M> PATTEN, a former Bergen Boy. We are permitted to publish the following extract from a letter written by J.M. PATTEN, a former Bergen boy, now in California, to John H. WARD, of this village. Mr. PATTEN went west about eight years ago, having spent most of the period in the mining regions and traveling over the State. The letter is dated Bodie, California, Nov. 14th, '81. ***I have been absent a good deal traveling on the west slope of the Sierra Nevadas. My health prior to this time was very poor, consequently I have been in no mood for letter writing. I was in the mountains most of the time; hunting and fishing were very good. In the valleys I found a great variety of fruit, flowers, etc., many things I had never seen before, oranges, figs, and that class. Grapes in great variety--all the foreign varieties. I saw the raisin made and helped gather the grapes. I improved rapidly under the new regime and can now report myself in good health. Among the novelties I visited the "big trees" and was in the Mammoth Grove of Calveras Co. I brought home some of the bark and seeds. Among other curiosities send you a piece of the bark and seeds. These big trees are really monsters, ranging from 250 to 400 feet in height and from 12 to 35 feet in diameter. The bark on some of these trees is fully twenty inches in thickness; that of the tree from which I took the bark I send you was twelve inches thick. This is a very strange, wild country, with scenery reaching far up into the sublime, high mountains, and deep into valleys holding mad plunging streams. Many of the roads are cut on the sides of the mountains, narrow roads, too, just a wagon track. Some places on these grades it is fully fifteen hundred feet to the bed of the valley below. The agates I found in a deserted placer mining claim in Tuolumne county. In many places in this country the soil has been entirely washed away by placer miners, leaving the surface a honey-combed mass of bare rocks. In one locality, near Columbia, there are hundreds of acres left in this condition, where millions of tons of soil and debris have been washed away. Several millions of gold dust have been taken from this district. This may seem to you like fiction, but is nevertheless true. The buttons are made from a shrub quite common on the west side of the mountains; you will observe the wood is very hard and heavy. One thing farther regarding those trees, observe how small the seeds are. It would, therefore, follow that very large trees from small seeds grown. J.M. PATTEN. + Mrs. BREWER Found Dead in Her House in Bethany. On Wednesday last the citizens of Bethany were much shocked to learn that Mrs.. BREWER, an old lady who resides about one mile east of the County House, was found dead on the floor of her sitting room. The particulars of the sad event are as follows: It seems that Mr. Rob. EASTLAND, who is a neighbor of Mrs. BREWER, had not noticed any indications for two or three days that the old lady was at home. On Wednesday morning last he went over to the house, and looking in the window, discovered her lying on the floor. He immediately called assistance, and on entering the house, the dead body of the old lady was found stretched on the floor, she evidently having fallen from her chair, and striking the stove caused a large bruise on her left cheek. From the indications of the body it is thought that she must have died about the Friday previous, as that was the last time she was seen alive. Deceased was the widow of the late Cornelius BREWER, of Bethany, and was about seventy-five years of age. + Obituary. Alfred W. RICHMOND. Although not unexpected, the sad news was telegraphed to Batavia last Friday that Alfred W. RICHMOND had breathed his last the evening previous at Atlantic City, New Jersey, where for many weeks he lay on a bed of sickness. Deceased was the eldest son of the late Dean RICHMOND, and at the time of his death was in the forty-seventh year of his age. + Neighboring Counties. The Perry 'Herald' denies that COLEMAN & TABOR commission merchants of that place, have made an assignment. A Dale, Wyoming county boy, who lately lost two of his fingers in a cutting box, was explaining the accident to a friend, and lost two more fingers in the same manner. Geo. W. MUTH's drying house at Bennington Center was totally destroyed by fire on Monday morning of last week. Only 200 pounds of stock was in it at the time. The proprietor feels all Muthed up. The Rochester compressed air motor, obtaining its power from the lower falls of the Genesee, will be in running condition in a few days, when the street cars of the city are to be run with it and horses retired. A severe and painful accident occurred to Miss Belle SHELDON at Perry Center on the 11th. She was engaged in papering a kitchen and while standing upon a table her foot caught the cover of the stove reservoir, which was full of boiling water, into which she fell receiving painful scalds upon her limbs. Dr. CRICHTON was called and found her injuries of a severe character. The authorities of the city of Lockport have issued circulars giving the exact condition of things as relating to small-pox in that city. The circulars contain a statement from the Lockport health officers, which shows that the disease has not prevailed there at any time very extensively, and that reports regarding the same have been remarkably exaggerated. An exchange says that a man in Dunkirk, who has got the money to do it with, is putting up a dozen neat, comfortable cottages, upon small lots, which he proposes to sell to respectable parties upon the payment of twenty-five dollars in cash, the balance to be secured by lien upon the place. In this way poor men can get a good home, the rich man can sell his land and houses at a fair profit, and at the same time help to build up a town. A hint to Batavia capitalists. + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

>From a recent note, I was reminded of the wonderful "Poor House" website that is available. Try: http://www.poorhousestory.com/ to learn about their history in general and their history in specific areas. The site is filled with good local information from around the U.S. Kristy of the Lincoln/Palmer family in Genesee

Linda please continue. I have enjoyed all the articles. It has given me so much more insight into the times and the area since I have never lived there. My family lived there before most of the records were kept and I faithfully read what is written to try and gleam a little more information about my family. If people are not interested in reading the articles they can always delete it. Karen in St. Louis

Dear Linda, I appreciate your submitting these articles to the Genessee list. I too really learn alot of background and history from these articles. Since I subscribe to several very active lists, receiving these few articles at a time is just fine. I wouldn't subscribe to the Old News list and have to wade through alot of articles with no relevance to places I am interested in. Please keep up the good work! You are providing a great service. Many thanks!

Mr. Frank McFARLAND, of Batavia, teaches the winter school at Pavilion Ctr. Prof. FULLER has so far recovered his health as to be able to take charge of his fine school again. Mr. E.M. ASHLEY, of East Bethany, has engaged to teach the school at Stone Church where he taught last winter. Hon. Seth WAKEMAN has so far recovered from his recent severe illness, as to be able to be around town again. Chas. KIRKAM, Esq., and Capt. RAND are visiting their friends in this village. Glad to see the boys around again. Mr. James F. TILEY, of Oakfield, who has been dangerously ill of typhoid fever, is, we are pleased to learn, recovering. Mr. Shubel GREEN, who died in this village on the 21st inst., aged 75 years, had been a resident of Batavia over forty years. Mr. John LAUDERDALE, of Pavilion, who has been traveling in the west for a number of weeks, has just arrived home. Mr. John SELDEN, of Stafford, has engaged to teach the school in Dist. No. 4, in this village. School commences Monday next, Nov. 2d. A team belonging to Mr. H. GRISWOLD, of Darien, ran away in Attica the other day, and collided with a shade tree, badly injuring one of the horses. Mr. James HUDSON, of Pavilion, aged 37 years, died on Saturday last, 24th inst., of typhoid pneumonia. He leaves, to mourn his loss, a widow and two children. On Tuesday evening of this week, a Mr. C.B. BLAKE lectured at Alabama Ctr., and that's all we know about it. Why don't some friend there send us Alabama items? Rev. Schuyler SEAGER, formerly resident and pastor of the M.E. church here, and well known, respected and loved by our citizens, died at Lockport Thursday of last week. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew KRAUSS of Attica were thrown from their carriage, and the lady considerably bruised, by colliding with the buggy of Dr. CROFF, in Attica one day last week. Walter B. KELLY, of Alabama, died suddenly on Friday last, from rupturing a blood vessel in a fit of coughing. He was 34 years of age, and had been in poor health two or three years. Sudden Death.-On Wednesday of last week, 21st., inst., Mr. Charles P. DANIELS, of Stafford, died suddenly in an epileptic fit. The Le Roy 'Courier' says "he had not been feeling very well for some days, and on the morning of his death was about starting for Batavia to procure some medicine. About 8 o'clock he complained of pain in the head, and going to the house lay down on the lounge. His wife was in the cellar, but was called by the hired girl. Almost immediately upon her entering the room he threw up his hands, apparently in a spasm or fit, and with his wife's name upon his lips, passed into a state of unconsciousness from which he never recovered." + Linden. Burglars at Work.-One night last week the grist mill of J.W. BOSWORTH was entered through a window, and 75 cents and a sack of flour carried away. On the same night the ware house of Wm. E. KEMP was entered, and the desk pried open, but no valuables found. Also, on the same night, an attempt was made to enter the store of DURGEE & HUGGINS by abstracting a window, but Charlie sleeps in the store, and while the burglars were at work at the window, he fired a shot at them from his revolver, which somewhat flustrated[sic]their designs, for they became non est comatibus immediately. An attempt was made on the same window in June, and a shot fired, at that time with the same result, of which no public mention was made. Charlie is plucky, and burglars had better beware, or they may get marked. J.W. BOSWORTH's barn was burglarized of a one-horse harness last Saturday evening. No clue. + Bergen. We are sorry to learn that Squire HULL, of Stone Church, is ill with congestion of the brain. D.J. McPHERSON returned from Batavia on Wednesday evening of last week suffering from an abscess in his left ear. He has not since been able to leave his bed. Mr. WOOD, of this place, thinks he has two large specimens of the Greening apple--one measures 11 1/2 inches each way and weighs 14 ounces, the other 10 1/2 inches and weighs 13 ounces. He also raised a muskmelon which weighed 14 1/2 lbs. John BARRON and family, who sojourned for a short time in Belcoda, have returned to this place and taken up their abode in the Congregational parsonage. The people's teeth should be well looked after, for we have a new dentist in town. He occupies the small building next to J.G. PERRY's, and his name is J.S. WALTER. Mr. HESCOCK, and family, have moved into town from Churchville. Mr. H. will open a meat-market in the new building now in process of erection on Perry's corner. Another cider mill. PARISH & COOPER are the proprietors and the old grain elevator the place. + Alexander. Mr. Albert ROWE of this place has just returned from New York, having made his annual visit for the purpose of purchasing goods for the winter trade, and judging from the many boxes just arrived he must have found a large quantity of goods both pleasing to the eye and to suit the purse of the masses. Last Sabbath Capt. FELLOWS, an old pioneer, formerly of this place, but laterly of the town of Bethany. In died in the County House. The deceased was 82 years of age, had lived in Alexander 70 years, came here when there were but three buildings standing. Alexander had quite an excitement on Sunday last over the death of a Miss Lucretia HOLMES of Honoey Falls who died at the house of Mrs. Olive RICHMOND, where she had come to be nursed. She died suddenly and the good people of this place imagining there was something wrong about the matter became considerably excited. A coroner's investigation was held by Dr. TOZER, with Philip ZWETCH, E.F. MOULTON, John HINTZ, M.W. BROWN, Albert ROWE, J COLLINS, and S.B. HAMMOND as jurors. Drs. MULLIN and HORTON, who made the postmortem examination, and Mrs. RICHMOND, in whose care the girl was, were sworn, and the verdict rendered was "Died of heart disease." + MARRIED. BRIGGS-STORER.-At the residence of Danforth STORER, West Bergen, on the 21st inst., by Rev. A.B. BARTOLPH of Stone Church, assisted by Rev. E. ALLEN of Byron, Mr. Gilbert BRIGGS, of Lima, N.Y., and Miss Julia A., adopted daughter of Danforth STORER. + submitted by Linda Schmidt

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State April 1-1898 Preparing the Papers William E. WEBSTER has commenced work upon the brief to be submitted to the Court of Appeals on the appeal from the conviction of Howard C. BENHAM on charge of murdering his wife, Florence T. BENHAM. When the work will be finished he is unable to say. The brief will be an exhaustive one and much time will necessarily be spent and great care taken in its preparation. Mr. WEBSTER is supposed to have it in readiness in a reasonable length of time, no period being specified. The brief will first be submitted to District-Attorney Le SEUR, who is given time to prepare one presenting the prosecution's side of the case, so it is likely to be two or three months before the case reaches the Court of Appeals. + Probably a Crank. An Englishman who gave the name of John BLANCK, said he was 46 years old and had a wife and four children in Philadelphia, struck town yesterday morning and went to the factory of the Baker Gun company in search of work. He was well dressed, smoked good cigars and claimed to be worth considerable money. The company had no work for him and sent him to John H. BLAKE, the rifle manufacturer. Mr. BLAKE asked the man how he came to visit Batavia and he replied that he had a letter of introduction from a mutual friend to Mr. RYAN, President of the Bank of Genesee. He made a critical examination of Mr. BLAKE's gun and showed a good general knowledge of rifles, but fell down when it came to details. He said that he had visited the Brooklyn Navy Yard and claimed to be a friend of General MILES and General SCHOFIELD. Mr. BLAKE conceived the idea an agent of the Spanish Government in search of information that might be of use to that government. Mr. BLAKE hired him for $18 a week. This morning the stranger showed up at the factory early and was greatly excited over the prospect of war. His desire for work had vanished and he discussed guns no longer. He said he was going on to Washington at once and left the factory. + His Boat Capsized. East Pembroke-Fred EICK, who works for John DENNISON, had a narrow escape from drowning on Wednesday afternoon. MR. DENNISON's farm is on the north side of the creek and when members of his family desire to come to the village they cross the stream in a boat. EICK had been to the village and was returning. When his boat was near the north bank it capsized and he fell into the water, which is quite deep at that point. The current was strong and he was being carried down stream, but Mr. DENNISON happened to see him and hurried to his assistance and succeeded in rescuing him. The boat was carried down stream and was found near the Paper mill. + Mrs. CLAPSADDLE's Funeral Changed. The time for the funeral of Mrs. Fred J. CLAPSADDLE has been changed. It will be held tomorrow instead of Sunday at 10:30 a.m. from the house at West Bethany and at 2 p.m. from the M.E. church at Stafford. + Special Announcement. Wanted, 5,000 tons of sugar beets by the Binghamton Beet Sugar company, for which a flat price of $5 per ton will be paid for properly topped beets delivered on board the cars at their factory at Binghamton. Seed will be furnished by the company and deducted from the first shipment of beets. Further particulars will be furnished by Charles A. KIBBE, office No. 13, Bank street, Batavia. Money to loan on real estate security. + Millinery opening tomorrow at Hewitt's. You are invited. + Pretty and inexpensive gifts for Easter at the P.E.C. Easter sale. + Today's Briefs From the Wires. Saratoga.-Two inches of snow fell at North Creek, Warren county, yesterday. New York.-Steve BRODIE arrived in this city today. The story of his death was a carefully arranged hoax. Elmira.-Miss Eleanor ROBINSON, daughter of the late Governor Lucius ROBINSON, died here yesterday afternoon. Poughkeepsie.-Arnant CANNON, a prominent architect, went to the Masonic Temple yesterday, and committed suicide by shooting himself. New York.-The 'World' says that Mrs. William C. WHITNEY, who was injured by a fall from a horse at Aiken, S.C., several weeks ago, is in a serious condition. + For Sale Cheap. Two nearly new, six foot show cases. + Clark Takes the Stand. The prosecution finished yesterday in the CLARK murder case in Buffalo and the defense had nearly all of its evidence in before a recess was taken. The defendant himself went upon the stand. He is a big good-natured looking fellow, who hasn't the least appearance of a murderer, and as he told his story in a straightforward, convincing manner, it was plain that he made a favorable impression upon the jury. He was still on the stand when a recess was taken until today. Justice SPRING decided to admit as evidence the written statement made by CLARK to the police immediately after his arrest. In this statement CLARK said that on the evening before the murder he expostulated with Kittie HOUSEMAN for having so much to do with Thomas CLANCY. He went to bed about midnight. About 3:30 a.m. the woman awakened him, began to call him names and slapped his face. He got up and struck her several times with a broomstick. She fell to the floor and died in a few minutes. The statement closed with the following words: "I killed Kittie HOUSEMAN." The evidence of a few police officers was taken and the prosecution rested. Mr. ABBOTT, attorney for CLARK, stated in opening for the defense that it was expected to prove that the woman attacked CLARK with a frying pan and then he struck her. In falling she struck a chair and the injury thus received caused her death. A grocer testified to having seen the woman slap CLARK's face because he would not pay for groceries she had bought for other men. CLARK cried when she struck him. A number of men for whom CLARK had worked testified that he was peaceable, industrious and honest. CLARK himself testified that he was 41 years old, was born in Seneca county and had served eight years in the United States Army. He went to Buffalo in 1892 and met the HOUSEMAN woman a year later. He took her to live with him at her request. He gave her money frequently and she would get drunk and buy liquor for other men, especially for CLANCY, for whom she left CLARK several times. At times she was very violent and threw flatirons and a knife at CLARK. She also hit him with his dinner bell. CLANCY was constantly following the woman up. CLARK said he put up with it because he loved the woman and intended to marry her. That was as far as his testimony went yesterday. + Death of Miss Catherine Hagan. Miss Catherine HAGAN, a former resident of Batavia, died yesterday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas WALKER of Attica, aged 71 years. She was born in Ireland and had lived in this country 45 years. She is survived only by nephews and nieces. The funeral will be held from the Catholic church in Attica at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday and the interment will be in St. Joseph's cemetery in this village. + To Reopen Tomorrow. A.T. BOYD, successor to E.W. CLARK & Co., will reopen the dry goods store which has been closed for a week, tomorrow morning. The store has been restocked with a large variety of choice goods, and the reputation gained for excellence of merchandise and fair dealing will be fully maintained. + A Well-Known Batavian Man. Harry C. BUXTON of No. 21 Otis street, a manufacturer of various kinds of ironing boards and extension ladders, is again able to attend to business. Mr. BUXTON states that he has been suffering from general debility, nervous dyspepsia and constipation and owes his speedy restoration to perfect health to "The Cactus Blood Tonic." To introduce this grand medicine the agents at 116 State street are selling large $1 bottles for 25 cents for a limited time only. + District Attorney Protested The examination of Talmage L. GOODENOW, landlord of the National hotel, charged with having his barroom blinds closed on Sunday, March 20th, was resumed in Police court yesterday afternoon. The attorneys again engaged in word battles, and finally District Attorney Le SEUR addressed the Court and insisted that he was being treated in a discourteous and unprofessional manner. Mr. WEBSTER then ceased making disagreeable comments. The defendant and his bartender, James F. READ, both testified that the shutters of the barroom were open on the morning of March 20th,, having been left so the night before. GOODENOW's wife and son corroborated them. William KELSEY was at the Central depot about 9 o'clock that morning and noticed that the blinds were open. Patrick WELCH, a young man, who was also at the depot, stated that he walked up to the hotel and looked through a barroom window. He said he wanted to get a beer. The examination will be resumed this afternoon. + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

I subscribe to several lists too, but don't see any problem with the dups. Not everyone on the Genesee List is on the other lists. Besides Linda always puts the dates so it is easy to tell if its the same. Besides if EVERYONE was on all the same lists you would need only one right?
