The World's Fair a Success, But it Will Soon Close its Gates Forever
The grandest exhibition of our time and possibly
for many generations to come will soon be brought to an end.
There remains but one month in which to visit this
marvelous gathering of all the world's productions, and everybody should
strain a point to go to Chicago.
The railroad fare heretofore has been considered a
hindrance to all classes, but this has all been changed, and on the
following days in October the West Shore will run high-class excursion on
its fast express trains in through cars at one-half its lowest fare, i. e.,
$17.00, from New York to Chicago and return, and proportionately lower rates
from points along its line. These magnificent excursion trains will be in
charge of an agent whose duty it is to care for the interests of the
company's patrons en route, to furnish detailed information as to
accommodations obtainable in Chicago, and to point out the historic points
along the grand old Hudson and through the picturesque Mohawk valley.
These trains will leave Franklin street, New York at 10
A. M., and West 42nd street at 10:10 A. M., as follows: Tuesday, October
10th; Saturday, October 14th; Thursday, October 19th, and the last, Monday,
October 23d.
If our readers will just take the trouble to call
at any West Shore office they will be received with the usual courtesy that
characterizes the employes of this superb route, (which over a journey of
the kind referred to can be made with considerable ease, owing to the fact
that the management of the West Shore railroad has spared no expense to make
it the easiest running and safest road in the world), and furnish any
information desired appertaining to this trip.

HART -- WILTSIE
Wedding of Miss Harriet Potter Hart and Mr. Charles Hastings Wiltsie
The wedding of Charles Hastings WILTSIE and Miss
Harriet POTTER HART, daughter of Charles E. HART, as celebrated last
evening will be remembered as one of the more prominent social events of
the season. Scores of the friends and acquaintances of the bride and groom
witnessed the ceremony and attended the reception that followed, and the
beauty of the former and the enjoyment of the latter will not soon be
forgotten.
The marriage took place at the First Presbyterian
Church at 7:30 o'clock. Dr. Nelson MILLARD, pastor of the church,
officiated and conducted the ceremony according to the Episcopal ritual.
The church was crowded with friends of the bridal couple, and the
brilliant appearance of the assemblage taken with the beautiful
decorations, the music and the manner in which the ceremony was conducted,
marked the wedding as one of the most attractive seen in Rochester of
recent years.
A departure from custom marked the entrance of the
bridal party. When the hour for the ceremony arrived the bridesmaids four
in number, entered at the sides of the pulpit and proceeded down the main
aisle of the church to the entrance to meet the bride and the maid of
honor. The bridesmaids were Miss STROBELL, Miss MILLER and Miss SLOAN, of
New York, and Miss POTTER, of Fairport. The ushers stood in the aisle as
they passed down to the entrance. Thomas NOLAN, R. P. McALPINE, Seth
TERRY, Will LEIGHTON, George FARLEE, of New York, and Edward G. MINER,
Jr., acted as ushers.
The ushers, the bridesmaids, two little maids of
honors, the maid of honor and two little pages preceded the bride up the
aisle to the alter. The maid of honor was Miss McALPINE. The little maids
were Isabel HART and Susan POND. Hart Scudder FARLEE and Dorthy ROBINSON
acted as the pages. The bride walked alone. She wore a beautiful costume
of white corded silk trimmed with point lace and diamond ornaments, and
carried the conventional orange blossoms. The bride's attendants wore
costumes of violet silk, with satin trimmings and lace fichus and carried
violets. The little people carried roses.
Mr. WILTSIE, with J. Scudder FARLEE of New York, his
best man met the bridal party at the alter. The beautiful marriage service
of the Episcopal Church gained in impressiveness as Dr. MILLARD pronounced
it and made Miss HART Mrs. WILTSIE.
An elaborate wedding supper was served at Powers' hall
immediately after the services at the church. Only a few intimate friends
and relatives of the bride and groom were present with the bridal party.
The room in which the supper was served was beautifully decorated and the
tables were tastefully decorated. A New York genius had the supervision of
this department of the wedding celebration.
Immediately after the supper Mr. and Mrs. WILTSIE were
driven ro the Central-Hudson station and started upon their wedding
journey. Their destination was kept a profound secret. They will be absent
from Rochester about three weeks and on their return will reside at No.
123 Plymouth avenue.
The reception at the hall was largely attended and
proved to be a most enjoyable event for the big assemblage. Excellent
orchestral music was provided for dancing and the guests passed the hours
until midnight in the usual manner.

A SERIOUS CHARGE
Henry La Borie Arrested for Criminally Assaulting Mary Lick
Henry La BORIE was arrested by Detectives
O'LOUGHLIN and O'BRIEN last night on a charge of assaulting Mary LICK, of
No. 225 North Union street.
La BORIE took the girl to a dance in Germania hall last
Monday night, and walked home with her at about 1 o'clock in the morning.
When they had reached the gate in front of the girl's house La BORIE
assaulted her, and, according to the girl's story, attempted to rape her.
A man living near by heard the girl's screams, and looking out of his
window saw the two struggling. He put on a few clothes hurriedly, and ran
toward the scene of the trouble. Before he got there, however, the girl
had escaped into her house, and La BORIE was standing on the walk alone.
Officer TINDELL arrived at about the time the neighbor got there, and with
Officer WRIGHT arrested La BORIE, who said he was at a loss to know what
they were all so excited about as he had had no one with him, and had been
walking peaceable along the street. He was sentenced in the police court
to pay a fine of $10 or serve sixty days. He paid the fine.
A short time later Miss LICK appeared at police
headquarters, and swore out a warrant for La BORIE's arrest on the more
serious charge for which he was arrested last night.
Miss LICK is 18 years old. She is a daughter of Peter
LICK, an employe of the water works department. La BORIE lives on Hudson
street, and has for some time borne a very bad reputation. He has been
arrested several times.
Miss LICK's father said yesterday that if he had found
La BORIE on the night of the assault he would have killed him.

was convicted in Livingston county, in September, 1890, chiefly on the
testimony of one, SCHWARTZ, who said that while he and WAYMAN were
committing a burglary in THAYER's house WAYMAN shot THAYER. WAYMAN was
sentenced to death, but Governor HILL thought there was too much doubt as
to WAYMAN's guilt and commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life.
About a year ago, SCHWARTZ, who was serving a term in auburn prison for
burglary, was taken sick and died, but shortly before his death he
confessed to the chaplain of the prison that his testimony at WAYMAN's
trial was false, and that WAYMAN was entirely innocent.
After a careful consideration of the whole case, the
governor has become convinced that WAYMAN was unjustly convicted and has
therefore directed that he be released.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY
Now the Labor Organizations at Auburn, Me., are Having Trouble
Auburn, Me., Oct. 5 - In the supreme court to-day Judge
FOSTER granted a petition for a temporary injunction, restraining the 118
defendants, officers and members of the International Boot and Shoe
Workers, Lasters' Protective and Cutters' Unions from further acts tending
to the intimidation of the help in the shoe shops here, and to the injury
of the business of the manufacturers. The petition was filed by the Ara
CUSHMAN company. Conspiracy and boycott are among the charges in the bill
of complaint. This action on the part of the manufacturers was unexpected,
and there is great excitement.
The mayor is preparing to formally request Governor
CLEAVES to call out the militia. The bill of complaint contains affidavits
of conversations had by the manufacturers with some of the defendants, in
which statements tending to prove the boldest sort of conspiracy and
boycott are alleged to have been made.

IT CONSTANTLY INCREASES
Additions to the List of the Cyclone's Victims.
People Drowned Like Rats
Not One of the Two Hundred Fishermen on the Lake Borgne Marsh
Have Been Seen Since the Storm - Large Sums Stolen From Bodies.
New Orleans, Oct. 5 - The return of several of the
relief parties sent to the storm-stricken districts of the state fully
confirms the news of yesterday and adds to the list of those
drowned or dead. A corrected list swells the total number of dead to
2,041. This may be increased 250 or 300 by the news from the St.
Bernard marshes and from the vessels off the Louisiana coast, of which
only meager reports have been received.
It is thought that none of the smaller vessels in
the open sea escaped. The loss of life at Cheniere Caminada is now
known to be 1,250 instead of 1,040, as at first returned. At Bayou
Andre seventy-two perished instead of forty, and at Grande Isle
twenty-four instead of ten.
The only place from which no returns have been
received is the St. Bernard or Lake Borgne marsh. This is a dead level
ocean marsh, with more water than land, and covers 1,200 square miles.
Its only inhabitants were 200 fishermen, who lived in cabins built on
spiles. Since the storm not one of its inhabitants has come to town,
or any neighboring settlement.
At one place in Chandeleurs where the tornado was
most violent, none is said to have escaped. Loud complaint comes from
the Bayou Cook, and many of the bodies were found to have been robbed.
Most of the fishermen were well to do, and all carried their fortunes
in cash in their pocket.
No money has been found on their remains, and sums
ranging from $3,000 to $10,000 have disappeared. Probably between 600
and 700 gulf fishing boats have been lost, worth about $400,000. The
total storm damage will exceed $5,000,000.

THE GULF DISASTER
A Long List of Vessels Lost in the Recent Cyclone
Pearling, Miss., Oct. 5 - News of many disasters
along the gulf coast from Sunday night's storm is coming in slow, but
enough is known to assert that fully three-fourths of all vessels on
the Mississippi sound from Pearl river to Biloxi or Scranton were
either wrecked or capsized. The worst feature seems to be the great
loss of life attending the disasters. Among the vessels known to be
lost are the brig Rosella Smith, the bark Annie E. B. and the
schooners Alice McGUIGEN, Angeline, New Union and Eliza. The three
first were owned by the Poitevent and Lavit lumber company, of this
place, and the last by E. Goddard, of Logtown. The schooner Victoria,
has just arrived, bringing the body of the captain of the Alice
McGUIGEN which was found near the mouth of Pearl river. Another body
was found which was supposed to be that of a young colored man from
New Orleans named Manuel MUNRO, who was making a pleasure trip on one
of the vessels. The four schooners above named had on board
althogether twenty-three men and it is supposed all were lost.
A large vessel supposed to be the barge Sino is
ashore on the west end of Ship island and is dismasted. The steamer
Dial and tug Pearl Smith, with two schooners left here Tuesday night
for Ship island to seek for the missing crews of the lost vessels. The
roadbed of the Louisville and Nashville railroad from Pearl river to
Waveland is completely washed away and west of Lookout it is nearly as
bad. Telegraph poles along the railroad are down as far as the eye can
reach.

THE HORTICULTURAL EXHIBIT
New York State Now at Its Best at the World's Fair.
Chicago, Oct. 17 - The horticultural exhibit
for New York at the World's Fair is at its best, and in extent of
variety and fine quality is now acknowledged to lead all other
states. Monroe county has contributed very valuable exhibits.
Messrs. ELLWANGER & BARRY who have been liberal contributors,
displayed in one day 130 varieties of pears, besides 100 varieties
of grapes and a fine exhibit of quinces. Over sixty varieties of
grapes were received from Chautauqua county the same day, and a
fine display of apples, pears and quinces from the Orleans county
agricultural society was shown at the fair. The California
exhibitors came around and with great surprise declared 'that New
York was now unloading and it was of no use to try to show
varieties against her longer." The Brockport Agricultural
Union has sent up a very nice exhibit of fruit from its fair. The
finest twenty-ounce apples from any portion of the united States
are shown by J. B. COLLAMER & Son of North Parma, Monroe
county. They are not only large in size as those shown by Idaho,
Colorado and Oregon, grown by irrigation, but are more uniform in
size, and far superior in beautiful color and in fine flavor.
The season has been the most disastrous to the
interests of horticulture in New York state in twenty years. The
apple crop of Western New York has been a very general failure,
the best fruit coming from the eastern portion of the state this
year, but under these adverse circumstances of a short crop and
severe storms the exhibit at the World's Fair has been far beyond
what could have been expected, and new York state will go down in
history as a very good horticultural state with vast resources and
great possibilities.

No. 2; the overture to "William Tell," Schubert's
"Serenade," Mendelssohn's concert, opus 64, and

Traffic On Lake Ontario
It's Growth And Decadence During The Past Century.
Early Boatbuilding at Ontario's American Ports - Reminiscences of an Old Lake Captain - His First Trip to Chicago
- Present Condition of Shipping on the Lakes.
The big fleet of schooners that went up and down Lake Ontario forty years ago and furnished an abundance of trade
to the various lake ports has gradually disappeared within the past decade, and the shipping interests, which were
then more important and prosperous than upon any other of the Great Lakes, have steadily decreased until now they
represent but a small part of the capital that was formerly invested in them. The competition of railways and canals
has diverted from this lake the greater part of the carrying trade, and vessels have been forced to go further
up the chain of lakes to secure the business that formerly found its natural outlet by the waters of Ontario.
Lake Ontario has been plied by sailing craft ever since the days when the little settlements of the white pioneers
began to appear on its shores. But years before that the birch canoes of the French voyageurs had traversed its
waters frequently from the St. Lawrence to the Niagara, and the Great Lake is mentioned by the early travelers
as the natural water highway to the then unexplored west. Dulhut, who carried the atmosphere of the French court
in its most glorious period into the new world, and was one of the most energetic of the French pioneers, sent
home a graphic account of his first voyage on the lake early in the last century. he afterwards pushed on through
all the lakes, being probably the first white man to do so. It was in his honor that the city of Duluth received
its name.
At the beginning of this century Lake Ontario was the chosen route for many emigrants who were pushing on from
New England and eastern New York to new homes in the west. Sackets Harbor, at the extreme eastern end of the lake,
and Oswego were the only places on the American side that aspired to the dignity of a port, and the building of
crude and queerly rigged vessels had already begun at these towns. The government under the shadow of an English
menace and fearing the weakness of the northern frontier, had built forts at these points and stationed small companies
of soldiers there.
During the War of 1812 several descents were made upon American ports by Canadian vessels carrying soldiers, and
so great had the danger become that the government decided to construct a large ship of war that would be able
to rid the lake of the English shipping. The new vessel was begun at Sackets Harbor, and so rapid did the work
progress that in ninety days the ship was ready for launching. She as christened the "New Orleans" and
was much larger than anything that had ever been floated upon the lake. Just at this time word was received that
peace had been declared, and so the "New Orleans" was left in stays. For nearly seventy-five years the
hulk rotted beside the old fort at the harbor, but finally after long being an object of curiosity to visitors
it was purchased by an enterprising farmer who had the substantial timbers cut into canes which he sold as relics.
The Genesee River, which had already become recognized as a particularly safe port was visited several times by
British schooners during the war, but no inroads were made upon the adjacent farms. Pultneyville, twenty-five miles
east of the Genesee, which was then a thriving hamlet, was captured by a crew of an English schooner, but no more
serious injury was done than the looting of the farm houses by the unwelcome visitors, the inhabitants having discreetly
taken to the woods.
The shipping trade upon the lake may be said to have begun upon the lake soon after the close of the war. That
event had given a sudden impetus to shipbuilding to the little ports along the eastern shore of the lake, and soon
the clumsy crafts could be found pushing their way the entire length of the late, their captains ready to barter
with the scattered farmers for grain, timber or furs, which they carried back down the St. Lawrence.
A little village had grown up by this time at the mouth of the Genesee and this had come to be considered the best
port west of Oswego. The towns on the Canadian side of the lake had developed much faster than their American rivals,
and the little schooners from that side had begun to dot the lake. The harbor at Charlotte little resembled the
convenient port which the government later provided at considerable expense. No piers were constructed until after
1820, and the river washed out a huge sandbar that partially blocked the entrance. The shore then extended many
rods inland from its location, and the high water mark was above the present landing of the Summerville ferry.
With the formal establishment of the port by the government the river mouth was dredged and piers were built out
into the lake for a short distance. These have been extended several times.
During the "twenties" there was a rush of boat building both at Charlotte and also at Carthage, that
well-night forgotten village which flourished for some time on the east side of the river and near the present
north line of the city. Nearly all of the shipping consisted of schooners, but these were small, a hundred ton
vessel being considered a large craft. Many smaller boats, called "hookers," which on account of their
light draught could be used in coasting along the shore, were also constructed by the Charlotte ship builders.
The first grain elevator in this vicinity was built at Carthage, and this quickly drew the lake vessels to the
Genesee port for loads of wheat and other grain which had rendered the fertile river valley noted. A dozen of the
best schooners on the lake also hailed from Carthage, and no better captains could be found than their commanders.
Capt. John T. TROWBRIDGE was the owner of the second elevator which was soon afterwards erected, and he also sent
out five schooners. Another fleet was owned at Charlotte, and the entire shipping gave the harbor a busy air. Bushnell
& Latta at Charlotte had also built large elevators and were constructing vessels to send out to the lake trade.
About 1825 the ROGERS brothers began building boats at Hanford's Landing. Diodate and Ezra were the older brothers,
but Hosea, who was then a lad, assisted them. Their schooners soon found their way to the upper lakes, which, by
the opening of the Welland Canal, had become accessible to the Ontario sailors. Young Hosea soon took to the lake,
and by the time he was of age he had become captain of a little schooner.
Mr. ROGERS now lives in retirement at his pleasant home on the road to Windsor Beach, and despite his four score
years, is still vigorous and in good health. He is probably the last survivor of the early generation of lake captains.
He followed his profession for more than fifty years.
Capt. ROGERS has a fund of interesting reminiscences to tell of his early life. "In 1834," he said the
other day, "I made the trip to Chicago, which was then known as Fort Dearborn. I was captain of the small
schooner 'John Grant," and this was the second vessel to make the trip from Lake Ontario through the lakes.
Chicago didn't have then even a harbor, and we were obliged to anchor about a mile from land and pole our goods
ashore in flat boats. Besides the fort there were less than a dozen houses there, with a number of Indian teepees
not far away. The place was flat and marshy, and it didn't seem likely that it would ever be anything more than
a trading station. Our load consisted mostly of barrels of salt, and these were sold to traders at the fort.
"I went to Fort Dearborn a year or two later and found that the settlement had grown rapidly. I have visited
it often since and it has become the metropolis of the west, and it is difficult to make myself believe that I
ever bartered with Indian traders on the steps of the little fort.
"The lake trade may be said to have been at its height during and just after the war," continued the
captain, in answer to the reporter's inquiries. "Rates were high, and I have know a captain to receive 30
cents a bushel for bringing wheat down the lakes. That of course was unusual, but to to receive 10 and 15 cents
per bushel was not infrequent. A big trade was done for many years in carrying white oak staves and timber down
the St. Lawrence to Montreal for shipment to the old country. The timbers were often made into rafts and floated
down the lower river. For many years captains were sure to have all the passengers that they could bring back from
Ogdensburg and the river towns. The majority of these were emigrants from the old country who had come by the ocean
vessels as far as Montreal.
"We used to carry a great deal of wheat into Canada and much hard timber. In return we would bring back barley
and pine lumber. The shipping trade began to fall off about fifteen years ago until now. I guess, it is hard work
to make a living aboard a vessel."
Capt. McCUMBER, Capt. FIATT, Joseph and William TYLER, Cap. VanCLEVE, Capt.
FARNHAM, William HIGBIE and Thomas VANCE were among the old sailors who used to hail from the port of Charlotte and who were known throughout the
lakes. Capt. Newcomb who still lives at Charlotte, also spent a lifetime on ship-board.
The building of the great elevators at Buffalo turned the grain schooners away from Lake Ontario, and nearly all
of the vessels from up the lakes now unload at that port instead of continuing through the Welland Canal and to
the seaboard by the St. Lawrence. The majority of vessels on Lake Ontario now hail from Canadian ports - Toronto,
Kingston, Belleville, Hamilton and Cobourg. Many of of them are engaged in the grain trade on the upper lakes,
while a few stick to the local trade between the home port and the American towns. Until the passage of the McKinley
bill the transportation of barley furnished a good deal of business for schooners.
Charlotte probably does the largest business of any American port on Lake Ontario. This consists mainly in the
shipping of coal, thousands of tons which are sent out monthly to ports on the upper lakes and to Ogdensburg down
the St. Lawrence. The Canadian towns also draw much of their supply from Charlotte.
From 80 cents to $1 per ton is paid for transportation of coal, and the ordinary schooner barge can carry about
1,200 tons. During the "forties" a line of propellers running from Ogdensburg to Chicago was established.
This was considered a great departure in passenger transportation, and the new steamers were regarded with a great
deal of admiration. For a time the steamers touched Charlotte, one going down the lake at night and another reaching
the port each morning. The Niagara, Cataract, Bay State, Ontario, New York, Northerner and Abyssinia were used
on this line. There is no line of steamers running from the American ports now but the Niagara and Ogdensburg Company
has a fine line running along the Canadian side.
Lake captains are united in declaring that they can make little money in the shipping trade at the present rates.
A schooner carries a crew of nine men, which makes a big item of expense. About 5 cents a bushel is the average
price for transporting grain. A schooner can carry from 20,000 to 40,000 bushels , although the big "whalebacks"
are capable of carrying much more. E.C. M.

He had formerly clerked in the boot and shoe store of John WOODS and when Mr.
WOODS sold to L. C. PITCHER, he was retained as clerk. He had been sick for
about two weeks but was on the street about half an hour before the deed was
committed and appeared to be as well as usual. He leaves a mother and two

MORTUARY GLINTS
The death of the veteran drug merchant, John McKESSON, at the ripe age of 87
years removes the oldest native of the city. He came of a revolutionary family
and his grandfather (of the same name) was in public service in this city a
century ago. John McKESSON had many interesting memories of New York. He told
me he saw corn growing on the site of the Herald building, corner of Broadway
and Ann street. He remembered the old merchants and loved to recount the
scenes of his early days, when the city hall was far uptown and the Battery
was the center of fashion. Among his competitors were William BURGER and also
John C. MORRISON, giants of the drug trade, who have long since passed away
and now he, too, follows them to the grave. He saw a great revolution in the
trade, for chemicals which once were imported, are now manufactured here, and
his own house has been thus engaged for several years. Turning from the drug
trade to live stock, I notice the death of "old Tom EASTMAN," the
old millionaire exporter of cattle. He originated this traffic and though at
one time a poor attache of the cattle yard he eventually shipped a greater
number than any other man. I well remember when this specialty was first
attempted and it then seemed very difficult and indeed some thought
impossible, but perseverance and genius brought a splendid success and the
traffic is now one of the great features in trans-Atlantic commerce.

TRAIN ROBBER CAUGHT
Thomas Woodward's Poor Attempt at Imitating Oliver Curtis Perry
Somewhere between Buffalo and Batavia a young man named Thomas WOODWARD, who,
according to his own story, has been railroading in the West for the last ten
years, broke with a coupling pin the padlock on the door of one of the cars of
the American Express train coming east and entered the car, which he at once
proceeded to ransack. No. messenger occupied the car, because the goods
therein were not of very great value, and for a time WOODWARD had everything
all his own way. He ripped open several cases of clothing, put on two suits of
clothes over the dilapidated garments that hung about him when he entered the
car, and did up a bundle of coats and other articles of apparel ready to take
with him at the first opportunity for flight that presented itself.
When the train slowed up at Batavia WOODWARD got out and
dived into the nearest saloon. It so happened that one of the messengers on
the train had detected the broken padlock and had, after a cautious survey of
the interior of the car, discovered the disciple of Jesse JAMES and
thenceforth kept a careful watch on the plunderer. When WOODWARD got out of
the car the messenger followed him and grabbed him in the saloon before the
burglars had been given the opportunity to get a drink. WOODWARD resisted the
messenger, but several persons coming to the latter's assistance the burglar
was overpowered and placed in the car.
A telegram was sent to the railroad officials in this city,
and when the train arrived here at 6 o'clock Detective La POINTE, accompanied
by General Agent PRESTON and several others, arrested the man and took him to
the police station. There WOODWARD confessed to Chief HAYDEN that he had
broken into the car and had stolen the goods found in his possession. He was
locked up on the charge of burglary and grand larceny. WOODWARD told Chief
HAYDEN that he ran away from his home in New York city when he was thirteen
years old, that he is now 26 and had been working on the railroads in Texas
and the West for nearly thirteen years. He is believed to have been at one
time a railroad man, but to be now a professional crook. In his pockets were
found a skeleton key and a lock pick.

MRS. VAN RIPER'S SUICIDE
Took Rough on Rats and Went to Tell a Neighbor.
Why She Wanted To Die
Unfortunate Family Events Had Made the Woman Despondent
and Weary of Life - Coroner Kleindienst Called and Certificate Granted
Twenty-seven days in succession, previous to yesterday, had
passed without so much as a case being reported to Coroner KLEINDIENST calling
upon him to perform his official duties. Last night the spell was broken. Mrs.
Mary Jane VAN RIPER, of No. 13 Prospect street became despondent yesterday
afternoon, took a dose of rough on rats, went into the house of her nearest
neighbor, Mrs. Mary A. BANTA, told her what she had done and lay down to die.
She was dead by 10 o'clock. An hour later Coroner KLEINDIENST had been
notified and had issued a certificate, not deeming an inquest necessary.
Mrs. VAN RIPER is a woman 54 years old. Her husband is a
boatman. They quarreled some years ago and he went away. He has not been heard
from since. For the past few months Mrs. VAN RIPER has lived with her
son-in-law, William LIVINGSTON, a huckster. Mrs. LIVINGSTON is described as a
handsome woman. She was not particularly attached to LIVINGSTON, and last
summer she eloped with a man whom she found more attractive than her husband.
It was after she had left that LIVINGSTON went to live with his mother-in-law.
Mrs. LIVINGSTON has not returned. It is said that the trouble growing out of
her daughter's action made Mrs. VAN RIPER despondent. Her son-in-law said last
night that she had been drinking yesterday. "Why, it don't amount to
much," he remarked to a reporter of the Democrat and Chronicle.
"There hain't no use in goin' to work and printin' four columns 'bout it. All
there is to it she tuk pizen and died. She did it 'cause she wanted
to I 'spose."
LIVINGSTON laughed when he was telling this and acted
as though his late mother-in-law was quite in the habit of taking rough on
rats and dying. As he would say no more as to the probable reason for Mrs. VAN
RIPER's action the reporter questioned Mrs. BANTA. Mrs. BANTA said that she
was working in her house at about 4:30 o'clock when Mrs. VAN RIPER opened the
door and announced that she had taken rough on rats.
"You don't mean it," said Mrs. BANTA.
"It's a fact," said Mrs. VAN RIPER.
"I don't believe it," replied Mrs. BANTA.
"If you don't believe it just come here and I'll show
you the box I took it out of," said Mrs. VAN RIPER.
Mrs. BANTA went and saw the box. Then she asked Mrs. VAN
RIPER what she did it for. Mrs. VAN RIPER said that she wanted to die.
Dr. JAMISON of West avenue, was summoned and later Dr.
REMINGTON was called in. Both physicians did all they could to save the
woman's life but to no purpose.
The woman was formerly in the employ of the City Hospital.
Mrs. BANTA said that Mrs. VAN RIPER had told her a number
of times that she would commit suicide. The last time she made the threat was
yesterday morning.

IN THE WRECK
Rochester People Victims of the Horrible Accident at Battle Creek
Until yesterday none of the visitors from this city and its
neighborhood to the World's Fair had been caught in any of the horrible
railroad wrecks which have occurred at regular intervals since the fair
opened, in the states of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. But yesterday there
were a number of people from Rochester and hereabout in the fatal wreck at
Battle Creek, Michigan, of which there is printed a detailed account in the
telegraph columns of the Democrat and Chronicle this morning.
Frederick WURTZ, his wife and their daughter Evelyn, and
Mrs. Henry ENGLER, Jr., and her infant daughter, of this city, were passengers
on the train. Mr. WURTZ and his daughter are among the injured, though both
will recover. Of Mrs. ENGLER and her babe, who were traveling companions of
Mr. and Mrs. WURTZ, no news has been received in this city. Mrs. ENGLER is the
daughter-in-law of Henry ENGLER of No. 12 Clinton place. Last evening Mr.
ENGLER sent a telegram addressed to his daughter-in-law in care of Mr. WURTZ
at the hospital, but received no reply to it. Mrs. ENGLER and her infant were
going to Montana and Mr. WURTZ and his family were on their way to Seattle.
