DEATH OF MICHAEL HYLAND
Thirty-six Years of Faithful
Service Completed To-day
Michael HYLAND, night warden at the
police station, died this morning about 9 o'clock at his residence, corner
of Canal and East Maple streets. About eight weeks ago Officer HYLAND, who
had been in failing health for sometime, was confined to the house, and
since that time he has not been able to be about. At the time of his death
he had filled out the time allotted to man, having completed three score
years and ten. He leaves a wife and four sons, Thomas, John, William and
Joseph, all residents of this city. For 36 years Officer HYLAND had served
as a policeman in Rochester, and at the time of his death was the oldest man
in the department. During all this time he had never done any day service,
being on duty nights from 8 o'clock till 4 to 7 in the morning. Honest,
faithful and generous-hearted "Mike" HYLAND, or "The
Mikado," as he was sometimes called, had not an enemy in the world, and
though he was often compelled to lock up or guard an unfortunate man, he did
it in such a way as to avoid all enmity. In his care of prisoners as night
warden he was for years the best man that could be found. He was firm,
though gentle, and always appreciated the condition and sufferings of the
unfortunates, and did all his position would allow to make them more
comfortable. When those driven to desperation through misfortune or crime
were in his keeping his watchful eye was ever on them, and many times has
his hand been raised to defeat the desperate efforts of the would-be
suicide. It is no large estimate to say that in this way he saved an hundred
lives. He was a unique man, ever in police circles, which develop many
strange characters, but it was his honesty, his truthfulness and generous
heartedness that won him friends on all sides. The funeral services will be
conducted under the auspices of the police department. (didn't get the rest)

DEATH OF MRS. F. E. WOODWORTH
A wide circle of friends will be
painfully shocked by the announcement of the death of Mrs. Frank E.
WOODWORTH. The sad event occurred this morning at her home, corner of East
avenue and Chestnut street. The grief of relatives and friends is scarcely
less because of the lingering illness which preceded the arrival of the
fatal messenger. None could believe that the final hour was so near at hand,
for with remarkable strength of mind the sufferer contended against physical
weakness, and to the last did not give up. Only the day before yesterday
Mrs. WOODWORTH enjoyed a carriage drive, and was then apparently in as good
health as she had been for months. It was the dreaded disease, consumption,
which had undermined her health and its full progress was not apparent until
the end was nearly reached. Thus death at last came unexpectedly, even to
some of her nearest friends.
Deceased
was a most estimable lady. She was the daughter of Mr. E. K. WARREN, her
maiden name having been Anna. For many years she had been a constant
communicant at Christ Church, and was identified with many religious and
charitable movements. Her husband with three young children are left to
mourn the loss of one who was a devoted, loving wife, and a fond, indulgent
mother. In this affliction the bereaved relatives have the heartfelt
sympathy of the community. The funeral will take place from the house at 4
o'clock Monday afternoon. Services will be conducted by Rev. D'Orville DOTY.

THE TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN
Will take place next Thursday, and
many astronomers and scientists will view it with unusual interest. Boss-Lewin's
paper hangings and decorations have totally eclipsed even his own previous
efforts of late years and now he can show an assortment of wall paper of
every grade and design which advanced art and science have produced. There
is no branch of the decorating and paper hanging business which Ross-Lewin
does not handle, and as he carries such a large stock and does such a large
business he is enabled to keep down the price and show a splendid variety.

RECKLESS SHOOTING
The attention of the members of the Schuetzengilde, now holding their annual festival at Windsor Beach, is called
to the fact that the targets in their shooting contests are so arranged that bullets going wide of the mark are
endangering human life. Yesterday afternoon a lady fishing on the east pier was not a little disturbed by hearing
no less than three bullets whistle past in close proximity to her. This matter should be attended to at once and
proper guards erected to stop the bullets close behind the targets, for, coming as they do from rifles, these missiles
go a very great distance and along their course, even out on the lake, are apt to prove of deadly effect.

DECISIONS HANDED DOWN
The following decisions of Judge RUMSEY were handed down this morning:
Maria A. ODERDIRK vs Goben ODERDIRK. Decree of divorce granted.
O'BRIEN vs. LONG. The plaintiff is not in any way responsible for the action of the referee, which makes it necessary
to set aside the report. For this reason, while the report must be set aside within the rule laid down in CARROLL
vs LUPKINS, (29 Hun., 17,) yet the relief granted to the defendant should be upon terms. Where a verdict is set
aside for misbehavior or mistake of a jury, it can only be done on payment of costs by the party who asks for it.

****
THE STONE MURDERS
Orrin JEWELL, a carpenter living on Garson avenue, is one of the few neighbors of Mr. STONE that were not called
to testify at the coroner's inquest. He saw Mr. STONE enter his house on the evening of the murder, it seems, and
his account of what he saw agrees in substance with the testimony of other witnesses. Norton ROE of Garson avenue
could not be found by the officers sent to subpoena him. He went to the house which he heard of the murder and
his description of what he saw agrees with that already given by others.
Robert FORRISTAL, a painter of Garson avenue, is said to have been interviewed by the police, but it is not believed
that he is in possession of any very important facts, as it appears he was in his house during the whole of the
evening of the day on which the murder took place.
