IDENTIFIED
The Body Found at Brighton Proves
to be that of David Burroughs, of Hamlin -
The Inquest and the
Revelations Thereof -
Deceased Leaves a Wife and Seven
Children.
Yesterday morning an account was
given in these columns regarding the finding of a dead man on the track at
Brighton. The supposition that it was the body of David BURROUGHS, of
Hamlin, has proved true. It was fully identified by A. P. CLARK, a resident
of Hamlin and a man who was well acquainted with the deceased, and who saw
him in this city Thursday. The testimony taken by Coroner HARDER at the
inquest shows fully and satisfactorily how he was killed. George BINGHAM and
George M. CROSIER, the engineer and fireman of the train which struck him,
testified that they saw him about half past 4, walking between the tracks
ahead of them. The bell was rung, but as soon as the engine came up with him he
stepped in front, with results already detailed. After the inquest the body
was taken to Hamlin on the 1:15 train. In view of the fact that BURROUGHS
had a wife and seven children, his death will be a great blow to them.

POISONED BY EATING SAUSAGE
The Buffalo Commercial of yesterday
has the following in regard to a case of poisoning from eating sausage:
"Last evening the family of John G. KLEIN, deputy poormaster, residing
on Michigan street, bought a quantity of "liver-sausage" at a
butcher shop near by and partook of it for supper. Soon afterwards, the
members of the family who had eaten the sausage were taken violently sick,
and Dr. DIEHL was summoned. The mother of Mr. KLEIN, however, an old lady,
continued to grow worse and died during the night. Two others were in a
critical condition at last accounts, but it is thought their lives can
be saved. There seems to be no question but that they were poisoned by
eating the sausage. Portions of it will be sent to Professor HADLEY for
analysis, and a corner's inquest will be held.

MARRIED
The many friends of James S. SHAW
and Jennie E. BUNDY will be happy to extend to them their
congratulations upon the pleasant relationship into which they have just
entered. The event occurred on Thursday evening last, and amid the good
wishes of those who witnessed the ceremony, the happy couple left for a trip
to the centennial, Washington and New York. The knot was tied by Rev. Dr.
BROWN, Dr. SHAW assisted.

LIVINGSTON COUNTY ABLAZE
Correspondence of the Democrat and
Chronicle
Mt.
Morris, Oct. 27 - Not since the campaign of 1860 have the Republicans of
Livingston county been so earnest and enthusiastic as at present. General
George A. SHERIDAN, of Louisiana, addressed the people of this county at Mt.
Morris Thursday. Main street was gaily dressed in bunting and the
village had the appearance of a holiday. At 1:30 p.m. about 120 young men
from Groveland and Leicester came on horseback, making a fine appearance.
The Mt. Morris band met them and escorted them through the principal
streets. Besides this cavalcade large numbers crowded the village from the
surrounding towns, about fifty coming from Dansville. A platform on the
corner of Main and Chapel streets was the place of speaking.
The
following were the officers of the meeting:
President -- F.F. DOW, of York.
Vice-presidents -- John S. BURLEIGH,
Avon; George W. HATCH, Caledonia; Jotham CLARK, jr., Conesus; Dr. JACKSON,
Dansville; Dr. D. H. FITZHUGH, Groveland; S. P. ALLEN, Geneseo; A. J.
BACKUS, Livonia; E. A. NASH, Lima; David UTTEY, Leicester; Hon. O. D. LAKE,
Mt. Morris; Dr. J. V. D. COON, Nunda; Hon. Isaac HAMPTON, Ossian; John M.
GRIFFITH, Portage; Peter SWICK, Sparta; George W. WHITEHEAD, Springwater;
George GOHOE, West Sparta.
Secretaries -- A. O. BUNNELL, C. K. SANDERS, E. H. DAVIS, F. E. BROWN.
General
SHERIDAN spoke about an hour and a half. It was a telling, humorous and
truthful address.
The
Geneseo glee club furnished some capital songs.
In the
evening a torchlight procession, headed by the band, marched through the
principal streets and a large meeting gathered at Livingston hall and was
ably addressed by Colonel STRONG, of Geneseo, and W. A. SUTHERLAND, of Mt.
Morris. Livingston county is wide awake and will do her part in giving the
empire state to HAYES and WHEELER, MORGAN and ROGERS.
Yours truly,
Robert MORRIS.

PROBABLE SUICIDE
At a late hour this morning it was
discovered that Mrs. DOLAN, who lives on Union street, near the railroad,
had attempted suicide by taking an over dose of poison; Drs. WHITBECK and
DAVISON were immediately called and applied every restorative but without
seeming effect. At last accounts she was no better and no hopes were
entertained either by physicians or friends of her recovery.

PERSONAL
--Fred L. HUGHES, connected with
the Cheney iron works for the past five years, goes to San Francisco in a
few days there to remain for the winter, perhaps permanently. Mr. HUGHES has
made contracts, and supervised the construction of store fronts for many of
the finest structures in town, the accuracy and finish of which attest his
skill.

THE REV. WILLIAM WOHLGEMUTH
The Rev. William WOHLGEMUTH, whose
death was announced on Friday, was born at Little Falls about forty-six
years ago. At the age of twenty he entered the military of the Methodist-episcopal
church, joining the Genesee conference. Among the charges which he has
served are Bath, Victor, Avon and Knowlesville. The new and comely church
structure at Victor is a monument of his architectural, constructive and
financial skill. He was an excellent pastor, was a plain, practical speaker,
and in his life wrought a good work wherever he labored. He was taken ill
about a year ago, and under the encroachments of bronchial consumption his
vitality was absorbed, and on Thursday he died. He leaves a wife, nee, Miss
Sarah WILLIS, of this city, but no children. The funeral occurs this
afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, from the First M. E. church.

OBITUARY
Mrs. Sarah FASSETT, one of the
earliest settlers and one of the oldest citizens of Monroe county, N. Y.,
now remaining, died on the 20th day of October, 1876, at the residence of
her son, George W. PARMENTER, in Penfield, N. Y., at the great age of
ninety-one years, seven months and six days. Her maiden name was Sarah
DAVIS, and she was born in the town of Rutland in the state of
Massachusetts, on the 14th day of March 1785. In 1815, she with her first
husband, Edmond PARMENTER, emigrated to this state, and settled in
Penfield on the farm adjoining the place of her decease. Her husband
Edmond PARMENTER, was the father of all her children, who departed this
life on the 13th day of July, 1826. Afterward she became the consort of
Jonathan FASSETT, who was one of the early elders of the Presbyterian
church in Penfield. She was one in a family of eleven children, and was
the mother of nine children. Surviving her she has left one sister of the
age of ninety-four, who resides in Boston; one brother of the age of
seventy-three and one son and daughter who reside in Penfield.
On the
22d day of February 1833, on profession of faith, he united with the
Presbyterian church in Penfield, and retained this relation until she
joined the church triumphant in the heavens. As a woman she possessed
remarkable force and integrity of character. As a wife and mother and
neighbor, she was considerate, kind, benevolent, affectionate and just. As
a Christian she was scrupulously exact in both precept and example, and
she was never ostentatious, but always modest and retiring, and yet, full
of vigor, love and vivacity. Her faculties remained in full force,
exhibiting a considerate judgment up to the day and evening before she
took her chariot for the better world. Her memory will be dearly cherished
by all who have had the pleasure and benefits of her society and
acquaintance.
Communicated, Penfield, Oct. 21st, 1876.

DEATH OF MISS LAMA H. WILLIAMS
Friday morning one of the most
estimable and noble-hearted young ladies of this city -- Miss Lama H.
WILLIAMS -- died at the residence of her brother, James B. WILLIAMS,
number 4 Tracy park. For a long time past it had been known that, sooner
or later, life must yield to the insidious disease that had fastened
itself upon her, but still when the end finally came, none the less severe
was the blow that fell upon the hearts of her many sorrowing friends.
Those who were so fortunate as to be associated with Miss WILLIAMS,
testified to the remarkable cheerful and affectionate qualities of her
disposition, the purity and nobility of her character, and the reality and
strength of her christian faith. Peculiarly self-denying toward her
associates, she was warmly beloved by all, and her death "makes
heaviest mourning" throughout a very large circle of friends.
The
funeral services take place this afternoon, at 2 o'clock.
