Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee County, New York State July 10-1886 -part #4- Other Counties. Lyons, Wayne county, people are entertaining 140 fresh-air children from New York. A street railway is being talked of for Corning and the project meets with favor there. Michael GLEASON, a farm laborer near Middleport, took paris green last Monday night with suicidal intent. He was not disappointed in the result. Saturday evening Willie GARDNER, the fourteen-year-old son of Postmaster GARDNER, of Warsaw, had one of his eyes very seriously injured by the premature explosion of a small cannon. A Rochester man touched off a cannon and it failed to explode, he looked down the muzzle to see the charge start and his face was filled with powder and wadding. He will lose both eyes. Augustus LAEFFLER, a lad of eleven years, living at Cowlesville, got a sliver in his foot and failed to remove all of it. After limping around two or three weeks, lockjaw resulted and he died in great agony. The Brockport 'Republic' understands that Mr. Horace HOVEY, who resides some two miles west of that village, has quite a curiosity in the shape of a lamb born without hind legs, and that its movements very much resemble those of a trained dog. A fourteen-year-old boy named MYERS, of Brockport, touched off some powder Monday evening, got too near and received the explosion full in his face, which was filled with powder and badly burned. It is probably that his sight was injured by the accident. The hay crop in Caledonia is one of the heaviest known in many years. It is almost impossible for an ordinary mower to cut without clogging up, and the consequence is that there are many break-downs, keeping the machinist busy making repairs, says a correspondent. While attempting to mount his horse Tuesday morning the Rev. Gilbert E. FARR, pastor of the First Baptist church, at Perry, met with a serious accident. The animal shied and Mr. FARR fell heavily to the ground, breaking his ankle. The bones protruded through the flesh. Mathew PHALEN, a young married man of Medina, went to Middleport Sunday and in the afternoon while engaged in firing a cannon in company with some friends, the gun discharged, terribly burning him and causing him the loss of both eyes. He received other injuries from which he may die. Charles H. HAIN of Warsaw, has been arrested and held in $1,500 bail on a charge of outraging the person of Miss Delia STANLEY, a 15-year-old girl from Greigsville, who is employed in that village as a domestic. The crime was committed at Silver Lake when the young lady was on her way home from a dance at Saxton's hall. The Warsaw 'New-Yorker' says that at Avoca, Steuben county, one day recently, William FARRELL, who had been drinking, whipped his wife and kicked her out of doors, when his son-in-law and a watchman named HELLER went to arrest him. FARRELL opened fire on them with a shot-gun, killing HELLER instantly. When his son-in-law told him that he had killed HELLER, FARRELL got a pillow and placed it under the head of his victim. He then re-loaded his weapon, sat down beside the body of HELLER, and blew the top of his own head off. The late Col. J.B. FOLSOM's property amounts to $150,000, of which $25,000 is personal. The real estate lies in Omaha, Tacoma, and Lincoln, Neg., and Attica and Folsomdale, N.Y. The homestead of 200 acres is to be reserved intact, with its appurtenances, until the grandchildren who are minors reach their majority. The Western property is to remain intact, as requested by the testator's late brother, until 10 years shall have elapsed, four having already expired. The will divides the property among his eight grandchildren, share and share alike. Thus it will be seen that unless the Western property increases, as it is expected to do, the president's wife will only receive $20,000 instead of $50,000 as reported. + submitted by Linda C.
