An Early Morning Fire in Pittsford - Barn Burned in Wheatland

A large copper-shop, situated near the West Shore railroad in Pittsford, some rods north of the station buildings, was burned to the ground about 5 o'clock yesterday morning. The shop belonged to Samuel HUTCHINSON, who employed five or six hands, doing work mainly for the Vought Flouring Mill in Pittsford. The fire is supposed to have taken from a freight engine which passed not long before the alarm. The barrels in the building were saved, but the stock and tools, the latter the uninsured property of the men were burned. Mr. HUTCHINSON had an insurance of $1,000 on the shop and stock, $300 of which was on the former. The stock was mostly in the freight house. The value of the shop is estimated at between $400 and $500. The coopers will resume work immediately in the former green factory in the north part of the village.

Strike of Union Men in the Shoe Factory at Bath - All the Men Out.

About twenty-five of the employes of the Bath shoe factory are out on strike. The foreman discharged one man on account of the use of abusive language and immediately after this all the others went out. A committee of the strikers waited upon the proprietors and requested them to take the discharged man back, which they refused to do. A branch of the Labor Union had been organized at that place and the proprietors of the shoe factory told the men that they might all come back and go to work as individuals, but not as members of the union. The men refused to return upon such terms. Monday morning about twenty new men came in from other cities to fill the places of the strikers. They were met at the station by the strikers and after holding a secret meeting in the upper story of one of the stores, the new men went away, deciding not to take the place of the strikers. A meeting of the citizens of Bath was held in the afternoon and they sustain the employes in their position.

The attorney for the plaintiff is John GILLETTE, of Canandaigua. An attachment was also issued against property, to the amount of $5,000. On Keuka Park owned by Mr. WHITNEY. In an interview with Mr. WHITNEY he stated to a Democrat and Chronicle representative that this action was brought against him without any authority and that the Central Association had referred the entire matter to the three county judges from Ontario, Schuyler and Steuben counties for arbitration.

Dr. Konrad KETTNER, a German having a commanding address and gentlemanly bearing, recently located at Lyons. He came direct from Berlin. He soon ingratiated himself with some of the best German citizens, who found him to be well educated and accomplished. Shortly after him came a young lady from Berlin, whom KETTNER received as his betrothed and the two were married not long since.

MONTANA'S FOREST FIRES

Snow Comes to the Relief of the Western Woodsmen

Helena, Mont., Sept. 3 - The forest fires which have been raging in the mountains for the last six weeks are now supposed to have been extinguished by the heavy rain and snow which fell last night. In the vicinity of Elliston, snow four to six inches deep covers the ground.
The fires raged fiercely Saturday and Sunday. Fifteen hundred people turned out at Elliston and other places to fight the fire. They worked all night Saturday and until half past one Sunday night. Many came out with scorched faces, burned clothing and blood shot eyes. Huge cinders were flying in the air. In the morning the tops of the range was covered with snow, a very rare occurrence at this season of the year. The fire still moulders in the trunks of trees and may take a fresh start if the wind rises. Many bridges have been burned, as well as miner's cabins. The snow fall saved the town of Jay Gould and the gold mill and mining property there. The fire at Ten Miles was fierce and disastrous. STURRICKS & BROWN'S mill is in ruin. The timber in that section was mostly pine and was said to be the finest forest in Montana. Hundreds of trees were four feet thick at the bottom. There was one pile of logs twenty feet high and 300 feet long. The area burned is very large and the occupation of the woodsman in that section is gone forever, as everything was consumed.

There were sixteen children in Erhart's family, twelve of whom are still living and reside within five miles of the old homestead. Benjamin ROWE, who is 70 years of age, is the oldest of the family now living. This reunion was the largest one ever held by the family, there being about three hundred and fifty of the relatives and friends present. The grove had been put in readiness for the occasion; a speaker's stand had been built, seats were placed at a suitable distance so that all might enjoy the exercises, flags were stretched between trees and several tables spread in shady places. The party separated into groups of fifty or more and partook of the bountiful repast which had been prepared. After dinner the following programme was rendered in a manner which was highly complimented by all present: Song, "All Hail the Power of Jesus's Name;" prayer, by Rev. W. R. McCUTCHEON; song, "City of Light;" history of the family, by John A. STRONG; essay, "Eloquences," by Miss Amy ROWE; solo, by Scott CRANE. Remarks, interspersed with singing, were then made by Rev. W.

Sudden Death of a Young Man of Nunda in the Dansville Sanitarium

The news of the death of Walter GURNEE was received with surprise by the people of Nunda last Wednesday, as none had heard of his illness. He had held a position at the Dansville Sanitarium for the past six months. Some time since he received a strain from carrying a patient to her room who had fallen in a fit, but thought it nothing serious and a similar occurrence a few weeks ago had a tendency to increase the trouble. Last Thursday he felt indisposed and went to his room and since had been quite sick, at times being delirious. His mother was sent for and reached his bedside Tuesday night, thought him much better, but during the night he became worse and died in a few hours. His remains were taken to Nunda Wednesday evening where a funeral will be held to-day. He was 18 years of age. An examination revealed an abscess on the liver.

A Disastrous Fire at Pittsford Very Narrowly Averted

About 11 o'clock Wednesday night when all of the people in attendance at the Good Templar festival in the basement of the Methodist Church at Pittsford had dispersed, except Ira WARD and C. H. TRUE, Mr. WARD, after turning out the last light in the room and while his fingers and eyes were still on the screw of the duplex burner of the high bracket lamp, saw providentially through a narrow crack in the ceiling directly over the lamp chimney a fire shining brightly. By tearing away the plastering and throwing water on the flaming lath and carpenters' shavings collected there, the destruction of the building and a general conflagration in the heart of Pittsford was prevented. If the lamp which caused the fire had not been the last one put out, Mr. WARD'S fortunate discovery might not have been made.

BLOWN TO ATOMS

Twenty-five Pounds of Dynamite Explodes With Fatal Results

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 5 - Captain R. G. ROSS, in charge of the government jetty work at St. Johns bar, has been for several days blowing up the submerged wreck of the Dutch brig Nova, which has for years obstructed the channel off May Port. He had in his employ a lighter commanded by Captain A. C. MOORE with a crew of twelve men.
Two of the men, R. G. MOORE, son of the captain, and Grandison POWELL, colored, were soldering a twenty- five pound can of dynamite to-day when it exploded and blew both men to atoms, only one toe of MOORE being found. Engineer DUNN was badly wounded in the side and arm. Captain MOORE was blackened by the explosion and badly shaken up. He is almost insane over the fate of his son. The explosion was heard for miles around and caused an upheaval of water and tremor of the earth, which created considerable alarm. A tug hurried to the scene and blew whistles of distress, which brought the government seamen and others to the rescue. DUNN was carried to May Port . The lighter was found to be one mass of wreck and ruin. The survivors of the crew were badly demoralized. MOORE's vest and pants were found among the floating wreckage, torn into shreds. The accident attracted a great crowd to the shore and the greatest excitement prevailed.
