As was expected, death has come to the relief of Fred N. BABCOCK, of Lockport, who suffered a stroke of paralysis Thursday morning. He died at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Although but 21 years of age his death will be mourned by a very large circle of friends from whom he had, during his short life won their highest esteem.

The 5-year-old son of Joseph WINKLEMAN of Lockport was run over by a switch engine near Green street at Lockport yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock.

It was a very narrow escape. No blame is attached to the railroad.

Deputy United States Marshall WEAVER has arrested Captain Luron D. WILSON of Lockport on the charge of defrauding the government by helping one James S. LAIRD to obtain a pension unlawfully.

He had an examination before United States Commissioner POUND yesterday afternoon and was released on his own recognizance.

ATTACKED THE JUDGE

The Defendant in an Albany Divorce Suit on the Rampage

Albany, July 8 — This afternoon Edward McDONALD entered the private office of County Judge CLUTE, and after some conversation demanded that CLUTE indorse a $3,000 note. The Judge refused, and putting on his coat attempted to leave. McDONALD struck the judge and tried to pull his revolver out of his pocket. He had partially succeeded when the judge grappled with him, and for a few minutes there was a lively tussle around the office. Finally the judge, still holding onto the infuriated man, managed to touch an electric button and the office boy in an adjoining room responded. The boy grabbed McDONALD by the legs, and he was backed against the wall, all the while making a vigorous fight. Finally the boy got the revolver out of McDONALD's pocket. The judge continued to hold him and the boy secured a policeman. McDONALD was taken to police headquarters and committed to jail.
He has been defendant in a divorce suit and has been hanging around Judge CLUTE's office for a long time. Several times he has given evidence of mental unsoundness.

Here is an article in Democrat and Chronicle of Rochester, NY July 4, 1976 Genesee Commemorative Edition

ROCHESTER, July 15, 1892 - Friends and intimates of the BALESTIER family which once was prominent here have learned with interest of the marriage of Miss Caroline BALESTIER to Mr. Rudyard KIPLING, the British author and poet, in England.

It is reported that the couple will make their residence, temporarily at least, in Brattleboro, Vermount.  It is said they have no plans to visit the scenes of the new Mrs. KIPLING'S childhood here.

Mr. KIPLING had become rather widely known for his narratives, which include "Soldiers Three," "The Phantom Rickshaw and Other Tales" and "Wee Willie Winkie and Other Child Stories."  He is reported to be a most prolific writer and those in literary circles say there may be no end to his output.

The new Mrs. KIPLING is the sister of Mr. Charles Wolcott BALESTIER, a former reporter here for the Rochester Post-Express, but more recently a publisher's representative in London where, through this association, his sister Caroline met Mr. KIPLING. 

Mrs. KIPLING'S father, H. Wolcott BALESTIER, now resides in New York City.

MRS. LOUISA PITKIN

A Daughter of Major Nathaniel Rochester, of Revolutionary Fame.

The following interesting communication concerning Colonel Nathaniel ROCHESTER, the founder of Flower City, and his daughter, Mrs. William PITKIN, at present residing on Fitzhugh street in this city, is taken from the Washington Post of July 10th:
Editor Post:
It has been stated that only three daughters of revolutionary heroes now live. This is a mistake Mrs. Louisa ROCHESTER PITKIN, daughter of Major Nathaniel ROCHESTER, a member of the New York chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, and an honorary vice-president of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, resides in Rochester, N. Y. Mrs. PITKIN has reached the golden age of 84 years. Her reminiscences of these years are of great interest to her friends and to the Daughters of the American Revolution. She is an aunt of General ROCHESTER, U. S. A., who resides in this city.

Major ROCHESTER (Mrs. PITKIN'S father was appointed a member of the Committee of Safety for Orange county, North Carolina, in 1775, whose business it was to promote the revolutionary spirit among the people procure arms, ammunition and to make collections for the people of Boston, whose harbor was "blocked" by the British fleet to prevent the sale and use of East India tea. In August of the same year he was a member of the first provincial convention of North Carolina, was appointed major of militia, pay-master to the Minute Men and militia, and a justice of the peace. In 1777 he was a member of the Assembly of North Carolina, and appointed a commissioner to establish and superintend a manufactory of arms at Hillsborough. Major ROCHESTER traveled with wagons to Pennsylvania for bar iron for the factory, and as history tells us he filled the offices of trust with bravery and honor, wherever duty called he was with the first to answer "present."
Major ROCHESTER was born in Westmoreland county, Virginia, and it is said that "Westmoreland county i the birthplace of only brave men."

ARRESTED FOR GRAND LARCENY

A Sewing Machine Agent of Brockport in Trouble

Brockport, July 19 - H. C. CHISHOLM, who, with his wife and child, have been stopping at the Getty House for several months, and who has until recently, been employed as agent at this place for the Singer Sewing Machine Company, was arrested at 2 o'clock this morning on a warrant of W. W. WELD, express agent at this place, charging CHISHOLM with grand larceny, in taking from the money drawer of the American Express Company forty-seven dollars, between the hours of 5 and 8 p.m., on Saturday last.

The facts are these: CHISHOLM went into the express office last Saturday. The express agent, W. W. WELD was not in but the delivery messenger, FORBES, was inside the railing, CHISHOLM also walked in and went to the back end of a room, where a door opens into a back yard. When FORBES came back from the 7 o'clock afternoon train CHISHOLM followed him to the office and again went to the back end of the room. FORBES opened the money drawer and discovered that the amount above stated had been taken out.

He did not think any more about it, supposing that it had been taken out by WELD, the express agent. As soon as Mr. WELD learned of the deficiency he at once made inquiries about it and after learning the facts comes to the conclusion at once that CHISHOLM took the money. That when he first walked to the back part of the room he unlocked the back door, and when FORBES went to supper he entered the office through this door, took the money and walked out, that when he followed FORBES into the office after supper and again walked to the back end of the office he locked the door so as to conceal his crime.

Another fact on which they base their charge is that the defendant hired a rig of Spencer Saturday night paying for the same and displaying quite a roll of money and went to Manitou Beach, where he stayed until late last night, arriving here at 2 o'clock this morning when he was at once arrested and lodged in jail. He has not been working for some time, and is considerably in debt. The examination will take place this afternoon.

BROKE HIS SKULL

Swift Vengeance Follows an Attempt at Outrage in Chicago

Chicago, July 19 - While a wedding ceremony was being conducted at the residence of John McHENRY, at the corner of State and Forty-ninth streets, last night, a woman's cries for help stopped the festivities and several men rushed forward to ascertain the cause of the disturbance. The sounds were traced to the residence of Jacob EWALD on State street. Mr. EWALD, who was attending the wedding, and Adam SARMELIA hastened into the former's house and there found Mrs. EWALD in a front room upstairs, where she had been forced by an unknown man.

EWALD broke open the door, which had been locked from the inside, and followed by SARMELIA, seized his wife's assailant by the throat. He dragged him to the head of the stairs and threw him down the entire length of the stairs. The man lay motionless at the foot and EWALD and SARMELIA hastened to the bottom to ascertain his condition. He was unconscious and died a few minutes later. His skull was fractured. EWALD and SARMELIA surrendered themselves to the police.

Mrs. EWALD stated that while her husband was at the wedding next door the man entered her house and attempted to assault her.

ALLEGED FRAUD

Charles Young a Defendant in a Municipal Court Suit

Charles YOUNG, the saloon negotiator and real estate dealer is once more a defendant in a suit. This time the action is brought by Cyrus C. ROOT and is on trial before Judge WARNER in the Municipal Court. The plaintiff sues to recover $25 which he alleges he paid to YOUNG when the latter agreed to sell him the fixtures in a saloon.

The plaintiff in his affidavit states that about the 18th of May last YOUNG entered an agreement with him, by which the defendant was to sell to the plaintiff the saloon, fixtures and furniture in the store at 261 North Clinton street for the sum of $650, $25 to be paid on the 18th of May, $25 more to be paid on the 23d of May, at which time YOUNG was to give ROOT a bill of sale of the property and take a chattel mortgage as security for the payment of the balance. The plaintiff further alleges that on the 18th day of May he paid YOUNG $25 and the following day paid $25 more.

The defendant then, the plaintiff alleges, sold the property to two persons, the names of whom the plaintiff does not know. The plaintiff, further alleges that the two persons took possession of the saloon on the 23d of May. The defendant, the affidavit states, did not enter into the agreement in good faith and so far as the defendant was concerned was only a pretended agreement and a subterfuge by which YOUNG procured from ROOT the $25 which he wrongfully converted to his own use.

The plaintiff therefore demands a judgment against YOUNG for the sum of $25. D. W. FORSYTH is plaintiff's attorney and YOUNG is represented by Patrick McINTYRE. YOUNG'S wife sat beside him during the trial to-day and appeared to be much interested in the proceedings.

THE SACQUE WAS TOO LONG

A Dispute Which Ended in an Alleged Assault

Joseph KUHMAN, an able-bodied teamster, was arraigned in the Police Court this morning on a charge of assaulting Hattie ATKINSON. The latter stated that a few days ago she went to the home of KUHMAN to collect from his mother 90 cents for making a sacque. There was a dispute as to how the sacque had been made, and the complainant alleges that the prisoner struck her a blow on the left hand. She had the hand done up in bandages and said she had suffered considerable pain since she received the injury.

KUHMAN said he objected to his mother paying for the sacque, because it was not properly made. In fact, he said, it was not a sacque but was an overcoat, and it was so long that it extended to the bottom of the mother's feet. He did not strike the complainant, he said, but she attempted to strike him with a broomstick and he ejected her from the house.
The judge arrived at the conclusion that there was not much to the case anyway, and discharged KUHMAN.

The examination of George OWENS and George BLACKFORD, the flimflammers, charged with attempting petit larceny and also with having in their possession gambling implements was adjourned till Friday.

William ECKLER was fined $10 or twenty days for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. ECKLER resisted Officer LUSCHER, who made the arrest and the officer was obliged to tap him on the head with his club.

Major SPAHN appeared for the prisoner, but as ECKLER has been there many times before, the attorney's plea had very little effect on the court.
