    3. Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State November 17-1881 Orleans County by Telephone. W.H. Parsons of this village, who is constructing the Mutual Union telegraph company's loop line between Albion and Batavia, reached the former place with one wire this morning. The other wire will be strung at once, but in the meantime, the first wire will be run into the telephone exchange and this end of it connected with the telephone switch-board here. Thus communication between Albion and Batavia will be made. A telephone runs from Albion to Medina, and another to Oak Orchard Harbor, and if these wires are connected in Albion, Batavians may enjoy conversations with friends in any of the places named, for a short time. This arrangement is only temporary, and as soon as the second telegraph wire is up, messages can only be transmitted by dots and dashes. * Body Snatchers in Buffalo. The grave of Ely Burnham, lately of Lancaster, Erie county, was opened by body snatchers at Forest Lawn cemetery in Buffalo, the body being removed to a secluded place in the park adjoining. Tuesday night three men, who drove up to the place with the intention of getting the body, were fired on by watchers, but escaped, leaving a horse and buggy which had been hired at a livery stable by a party under an assumed name. A warrant was issued. Undertaker Parker is suspected of being implicated. The body was returned to the grave. * Marriage of Deaf Mutes. The marriage of Miss Francis[sic] E. WALTER, daughter of ex-Mayor P.D. WALTER of Lockport, to Jas. M. CAMP, of Bethany, Genesee county, was celebrated yesterday morning at the residence of the bride's father. The officiating clergyman was Dr. Foster ELY, assisted by Rev. J.N. FREEMAN. Both bride and groom are graduates of the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb. - 'Buffalo Express' * The Deceased Polander. The name of an unfortunate Polander, who was killed yesterday afternoon, was William VOLDY and his residence 379 Peckham street, Buffalo, where his body was taken last evening. His age was thirty-one years, and he leaves a wife and five children. Coroner TOZIER summoned a jury who viewed the body yesterday afternoon, and the inquest was held to-day in the coroner's office. The jury, composed of Henry AGAR, Wm. ALLEN, H.E. LATHROP, and M.S. HAYES, rendered a verdict that the deceased came to his death by falling from the side of the slope producing dislocation of the bones of his neck. No blame was attached to anyone. * Indians Imprisoned. Crawford SUNDOWN, who has heretofore sojourned in our county jail, and James GEORGE, both Tonawanda Indians, were brought here this morning by Deputy Sheriff WINSLOW of Alabama and incarcerated. They were arrested on a warrant charging them with stealing hoop-poles from James SHANKS, and were arranged[sic] before Justice CROSBY, who committed them for examination. * Clothing cheap at Moynihan's. * A Robber's Plunder. Frank RYNSCOWSKI, a Russian, and an unknown, about forty-five years of age, have been fellow boarders at Albert SPRENGER's on Hutchins street. They were laborers on the railroad and shared the same room. Yesterday morning RYNSCOWSKI awoke and discovered that his trunk had been broken into and that a coat, a pair of pants, and a silver watch had been stolen. His room-mate had disappeared and suspicion, therefore, fell upon him. The victim notified the officers and telegrams were sent to the different cities hereabouts describing the supposed thief, but nothing has yet been heard from him and probably will not be. * We have just received a large invoice of Writing Desks, Library Desks and Book Cases.
