There was mourning last night in the home of Conrad PRINCE, an industrious teamster living at No. 233 Rowe street, over the death of his son Peter, a bright boy of 5 years.

End of a Lawsuit That Has Been in the Courts Twenty Years

A case of considerable importance involving several thousand dollars, in which the people of Genesee county have been interested, and which has been in the courts for twenty years, came to an end Tuesday, when the Courts of Appeals handed down a decision in favor of the defendant. The case was that of Francis E. TERRY and James M. GOODWIN against George A. MUNGER, of Camden, N. Y., formerly of Bergen. The controversy which led to the bringing of the action arose in 1870, when plaintiffs in partnership with A. D. KIPP owned a sawmill in Bergen. In that year the firm dissolved partnership and soon afterward KIPP and Palmer W. MUNGER, of Bergen, removed the sawmill machinery to North Carolina. TERRY and GOODWIN immediately brought an action against the two to recover their share in the value of the machinery, and in 1876 secured a judgment against them for $3,500. They were unable to get any satisfaction from MUNGER, and a short time afterward he was placed on the jail limits at Batavia. Judge BANGS, then county judge, soon ordered his release, however, which caused TERRY and GOODWIN, to bring an action for damages against George W. GRIFFIS, who was then sheriff, for giving MUNGER his liberty. Judgment was secured and the decision affirmed by the General Term, but reversed by the Court of Appeals. In 1886 the action just decided was brought by TERRY and GOODWIN against George A. MUNGER, a son of P. W. MUNGER, for the conversion of property, the plaintiffs alleging that he assisted in removing the machinery to North Carolina. Judge CHILDS held that the plaintiffs could not bring this action, having previously brought an action on contract in the same manner against other parties. The General Term affirmed Judge CHILD'S decision as has also now the Court of Appeals.

The funeral of Dean L., only child of Professor Charles H. and Effie STEVENS, was held yesterday at the residence of John L. STEVENS, in Clarendon, the interment taking place at the Byron Center cemetery. The venerable Elder RALLIN, aged about 85 years, conducted the service.

Three prisoners in the county jail at Batavia, named Jack GRIMES, John DAVIS and Joseph KOEHLER, laid plan to escape from jail Wednesday night. For some time all the prisoners had been given the liberty of the corridors night and day. In some way DAVIS secured a steel saw and was discovered about 9 o'clock at work on one of the outside bars, which he had nearly sawed through. He had also removed several bricks in his cell. The three men are to be tried next week, and in the meantime they will be kept locked in their cells.

An Aged Farmer of Livonia Meets With a Fatal Accident

Rockwell J. LEWIS, a substantial farmer living one mile north of Livonia Center, met with a fatal accident yesterday morning.

MONROE
 
Death of Remsen Vanderhoof, a Highly Esteemed Resident of Fairport.
 
The death of Remsen VANDERHOOF, at his home on West avenue in Fairport, early Saturday morning, removes a man more than usually known and esteemed in that section. Born in Deerfield, near Utica, in 1809, he had passed four score. He came with his parents to Perinton, and with the exception of nine years spent farming in Victor, had resided in this town till the day of his death, a citizen there for forty-eight years. At different times he lived on what is now the MOSELEY farm, and the James McMILLAN farm. He was the first lumber dealer in Fairport, and continued in that business, also dealing in coal, produce commission, etc., up to about six years ago, when failing health obliged him to retire. He was an upright man, a good citizen, a faithful friend, an affectionate husband and father. His wife, married to him more than half a century ago, survives him, with two daughters, Mrs. C. I. WOOD of Rochester and Mrs. George HAMILTON, Pomeroy, Iowa. The funeral will be held at his late home to-day, at 2 o'clock, the Masonic fraternity, of which he was for many years an honored member and officer, attending the obsequies.
 
--The wheat crop in Perinton is looking finely.
 
--Tunis BROKAW, of Scottsville, one of its oldest residents, is seriously ill.
 
--W. J. TOMPKINS, of Albion, will open a photograph gallery at Brockport this week.
 
--Professor B. H. ROBERTS will address a gospel temperance meeting in the Baptist Church at Clifton next Sunday evening.
 
--Misses Belle and Josie BROWN, of Mumford, who are teaching school near Bradford, Pa., are home on a short vacation.
 
--Bishop VINCENT will give his popular lecture, "Tom and His Teachers," in the Methodist Church at Churchville to-morrow evening.
 
--Mrs. James CARSON, of Scottsville, whose serious illness was mentioned in these columns, was reported as sinking rapidly Saturday afternoon.
 
--Last Saturday evening the L. J. LeLand Band of Fairport gave an open air concert at that place. The selections were from the best composers, and the reputation of the band was fully sustained.
 
--Professor BICKMORE is expected to give the students of the Brockport Normal School a lecture on Alaska. The lecture will be supplemented by views of the most interesting scenery of that country. Owing to the work on Friday night, which was planned before he decided to come, the lecture will be next Thursday evening in Normal Hall.
 
--Superintendent GREEN has returned from the Clayton hatchery, to which place he took 3,500,000 pike spawn last week. This week he hopes to increase this number to 10,000,000, and the week after to 20,000,000. He expects to hatch 40,000,000 pike spawn at Clayton this season. Mr. GREEN has arranged for shipping bass and perch from Clayton or Three Mile Bay, where he has made arrangements with fishermen to furnish them.
 
--W. D. STROBEL, Jr., proprietor of the Trout Brook Woolen Mills at Mumford, has offered a reward of $25 for the arrest and conviction of parties found trespassing on his premises for the purpose of fishing or destroying property. Mr. STROBEL's kindness and generosity has been imposed upon until forebearance has ceased to be a virtue. To all whose behavior entitled them to it, written permission will be cheerfully given by applying at the office.
 
--The raising of the flag on the Fairport Union School building Friday morning made a very happy incident to the school and many outside who witnessed it. The exercises were simple but impressive. As the two chosen color bearers, George McAULIFFE and Miss Nellie DUNBAR, of the Academic department, took their places on the roof, the other pupils, numbering several hundred, marched out to the playgrounds singing the "Star Spangled Banner," and to that inspiring national hymn the flag was drawn up and furled to the breeze. The event aroused a good deal of enthusiasm. The flag was presented to the school a short time since by E. A. Slocum Post, G. A. R., of that place.
 
--Last Friday evening the congregation of the United Presbyterian Church at Mumford were greatly disappointed in the non-arrival of their new pastor, Rev. W. W. LAWRENCE, for whom they had arranged a reception. He was expected on the morning train, but when he did not arrive on that they looked for him on some of the evening trains. The church parlors had been tastefully trimmed and decorated, presenting a most pleasing effect. Upon the rostrum was a bank of potted plants and over this an arch bearing the word "Welcome."  In anticipation of a social evening, a large number had assembled, many being present from out of town to extend a welcome and kindly greeting to the new pastor. The ladies of the church with their accustomed foresight and thoughtfulness had made ample provision for the "inner man." Pretty napkins having a motto appropriate to the occasion were presented to all. Saturday morning a dispatch was received from Rev. Mr. LAWRENCE in which he explained his delay in coming as follows:  "Thessalonians, 11, 17 and 18. Will conquor at 4 o'clock." He came on the evening train Saturday and occupied the new pulpit yesterday.

HIS SKULL FRACTURED
 
Sad Ending to Young Callahan's Pleasure Trip.
 
Michael CALLAHAN, aged 16 years, went to Charlotte yesterday for a day's outing. He left the lake upon an electric car, at 5:30 o'clock. When near the toll-gate he thrust his head out of a window to watch a passing car and was struck by a post. He was picked up in an unconscious condition, and blood was streaming from his nose and ears. No one knew the boy, and he was brought to Driving Park and soon after removed in the patrol wagon to St. Mary's Hospital, where Dr. MOORE attended him.
     The boy's father, who lives at the corner of Lyell avenue and Child street, called at the hospital last night and identified him. He was unconscious at midnight and his skull is thought to be fractured.

Hon. Elbert TOWNSEND died Monday morning at his home in Pavilion, after a lingering illness of several months' duration, aged about fifty years. A widow and two sons, also his aged mother, survive him. Mr. TOWNSEND was born and raised in Pavilion, was a most successful farmer, and a man thoroughly in love with his calling. In 1872 he was elected as a Republican to the Assembly and re-elected the year following. At the time of his first election he was president of the Genesee County Agricultural Society, and has ever since been prominently identified with the society. He was one of the directors for the present year. He has also continued his fealty to the Republican party, and at his last visit in Batavia (in September, 1889) he presided over the Republican county convention. It is not so much as a politician however, that he was known, as it was a breeder and raiser of brooded stock, especially American merino sheep. His fame in this respect spread not only over Western New York, but was almost world wide, he having made several shipments of sheep to Australia and other foreign countries. He was also a breeder of Percheron horses and Holstein cattle. The funeral will be held on Wednesday at 2 p.m.
