DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF
LAUDANUM. -- George MULLINER, a former resident of Penfield, but
recently of Fairport, came to this city on Monday last and took rooms at
the Clinton House. Nothing was seen of Mr. M. afterward, until Tuesday
afternoon his room was visited, and it was determined to force the door
open.-- He was found lying on the bed in a half insensible condition.
Later in the evening it was discovered that MULLINER had taken two
ounces of laudanum. Remedies were administered by Drs. WHITBECK and
BUCKLEY but without effect. Yesterday, about 3 o'clock, Mr. MULLINER
died. Coroner MORRISON was called and held an inquest. The jury found
that deceased had been accustomed to use laudanum for a severe headache,
and in this instance the overdose was unintentional. Deceased was a
married man, and his wife and two children were at his bedside at the
time of his death. Last week he made a contract for a farm and had paid
$5,000 down, and his visit to this city was to complete the papers.
He was forty-five years of age, and had a life insurance of $10,000.

DEATH OF DARIUS COLE
The citizens of Rochester were startled on Saturday, in the midst of the
driving business, which is always more intense on that day -- with the sad
intelligence that Darius COLE, an old and respected citizen, had been suddenly
called out of life. Mr. COLE had been prostrated by disease some weeks ago,
and was reported in a critical condition. But it was supposed he had so far
recovered as to be out of danger, yet while in his office on Saturday,
suddenly became alarmingly ill. In less than an hour the illness ended in
death -- this disease being reported neuralgia of the heart. As he had been a
resident here over forty years, and much of the time in a large business, I
have thought it due to him to make some notice of who and what he was.
Mr. COLE was a copper, tin and sheet iron
worker. He learned his trade of a relative of this, Mr. Sylvester PIER, of New
York city, and came to Rochester in 1826, where he opened business in company
with a Mr. ROBERTSON, on Exchange street, west side, north of the canal. A few
years later he removed to Child's building, on the south side of the same
street, and in his own name prosecuted his business.-- __, old inhabitants all
well remember his sign, "D. COLE, coppersmith," which surmounted his
door, and "the click of hammers closing rivets up" which for years
rung in that building. After the Central Railroad opened he was largely
employed by that Company in repairing their engines, especially in making and
repairing the copper flues which were for a long time used, but were finally
abandoned for wrought iron. The raising up of Exchange street Canal bridge so
incommoded him, and injured his business that after near a quarter of a
century in his old quarters he removed in 1851 to a store on the west side of
State street, nearly opposite to Mumford street, where he continued business
nearly ten years, when reverses came upon him which crippled him very much,
and partially discouraged him. -- Closing his business there he went, in 1861,
to California, where, for about three years, he tried what change and new
enterprises would do to repair his lost fortunes. Not meeting with the measure
of success as he anticipated and hoped for, he very wisely concluded to return
to Rochester among his old friends, which he did, and entered again into his
occupation, and later years has been engaged in business among the people as
of yore, taking a place of business not far above the very place on Exchange
street where he had in earlier days labored so long and successfully. Here,
after a few years, in which he realized the truth that "men do best to
work for their money where they have lost it," death has suddenly brought
his earthly labors to a close, and made us all realize that "in the midst
of life, we are in death."
Mr. COLE was a great worker, and with a large force,
in an early day did much by his business and personally, to build up the city.
He was an unassuming, quiet man, yet always steadily engaged, and was many
years very successful. -- The writer can recollect from the very day he opened
on Exchange street, and where he introduced the first cooking stove called
"Wilson's patent," which though then the leading article on that
line, bears no resemblance to the improved of our day, and would now, if
re-produced be a curiosity.
As an honest man, a good citizen, and a kind husband
and father, he is especially to be commended, and as a genial companion, many
of our earlier citizens who were in business when he was, can testify -- but
to none will his death fall so heavily as upon his wife and children, who have
shared with him his prosperity and adversity, and sympathy, so many years. To
them in their bereavement, the citizens will accord their sincere
commiseration.
