CITY AND VICINITY
Town Talk
On Thursday evening, a little girl was injured by her leg slipping
through an aperture in Lyell street bridge. She was extricated by ex-Overseer of
the Poor Bro_n. The bridge is in an unsafe condition.
In the procession on the Fourth while the appearance of all was
creditable, it was generally acknowledged that the escort of police bore off the
palm for precision and regularity of movement and fine proportioned men.
Last evening a boy named GILBERT while bathing in the race near the
bee-hive building slipped into a deep hole and narrowly escaped drowning. He was
rescued just in time by J. H. CHASE.
There was a runaway on North St. Paul and Franklin streets last
evening. The man occupying the vehicle was thrown out near Falls Field, the
horse turned up Franklin street, falling down at North street. The buggy was
wrecked extensively.
The Coliseum, under Mr. BLANCHETT'S management is proving a popular
place of amusement. The variety entertainments given draw large audiences. A
family matinee will be given at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The bill for the
evening is more than ever attractive.
William ATTRIDGE, reported as shot at in a barber shop is not the
William ATTRIDGE, a carpenter living on Concord avenue. The young man in whose
hands the pistol went off and the other young man who was stated to be the
intended victim, are firm friends and both say the shooting was accidental.
Two cases of sunstroke occurred Wednesday. Mrs. McFARLIN living on
Lyell street was prostrated on that day and was reattacked Thursday. She is in a
dangerous condition. Dr. GILLETT attended her. James MORTON, also,
experienced a coup de soleil. He was taken to the city hospital and attended by
Drs. COX and ELY and speedily recovered.
The class of '69 in the university of Rochester held its triennial
meeting last evening, and a majority of the class were present. The silver cup
was given to the son of Albert W. MOREHOUSE, being the first boy born to a
member of the class. The class afterwards adjourned to the Kremlin in where a
fine supper was served.
Friday morning at half-past 11 a man (mulatto) name unknown, was
drowned at the Upper Landing. He and another person were out in a row boat which
upset. His companion, a white man, saved himself by clinging to the boat until
help arrived. The drowned man was drunk at the time of the accident. We learn
since that the man's name is David DEWEY, that he lived on North St. Paul street
and was thirty-nine years of age. The coroners hold an inquest at this forenoon.

ARRESTED FOR GRAND JURY - On the night of the Fourth, officer McLEAN brought
from Syracuse a man named Andrew FITZMEYER, charged with stealing $240 from the
pr__sion store of Jacob KATZ, on Main street. The theft was committed some three
months ago, and the officer named was instructed to work up the case. He
discovered that FITZMEYER was probably the guilty party, but the latter had
disappeared. He spent most of the time at Syracuse, and McLEAN went there, but
did not find him. The officer left word to arrest the man should he turn up, and
the Syracuse authorities kept their promise. On the Fourth the suspected thief
arrived there, having in charge the remains of Thomas FITZGERALD, who was killed
in the West and was taken into custody at once. Yesterday he was brought before
Justice BRYAN, but waived an examination and was remanded to jail to await the
action of the grand jury.

A BAD PLACE - RYAN'S saloon on Genesee street is a place which has long had a
bad reputation. It was not surprising from this fact, that a fight should have
occurred there on the Fourth. It seems some insult was offered by persons in the
saloon to a man passing, which he resented. The whole crowd then pursued him and
he took refuge on the premises of John STOUT. The latter kept back the pursuers
when they turned on him, beating and stabbing him so that he lies in a dangerous
condition. Policemen LANER, McBURNEY, FURTHER, WOLF, CROWLEY, SCHAFFER and
BEMISH arrested George LYTELL, William COSGROVE, Edward FLANNERY, Sarah
HITCHINGS and Catharine RYAN. All these were tried yesterday for drunkenness,
fighting and the assault on STOUT, and received a sentence of six months to the
penitentiary and $100 fine each.

SCANDAL - We have received a Quincy, Illinois, paper containing a long article
about a gay young man named PRATT, who, as he represented, came to that place
from Rochester, N. Y. He was accompanied by a young lady of the m_linery
persuasion, named Miss SICKNER. The couple made many friends and obtained
considerable credit. They ran a "New York millinery store" with great
success. Suddenly, however, they decamped between night and morning, leaving all
their debts behind them, but taking their goods with them. It is reported that
PRATT left behind him in this state a wife and two children. Miss SICKNER
conducted a millinery store in the town of Victor for about two years, but left
there a few weeks ago. PRATT visited her at that place and their intimacy was
much commented upon. It seems from the account of the __capt_le in the Quincy
paper, that the young lady's parents were cog_nant of the whole affair and
tolerated it they did not encourage the guilty parties.
