--A girl known as Rose HOPKINS, who for some time past, has been employed at the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western eating house in Bath, recently met with a novel experience. At the age of six years she was taken to an orphan's home near Scranton, Pa., on account of the death of her mother. At that time her father had been absent from home for five years and was supposed to be dead. She left the home at the age of fifteen and became a domestic, working in various private families, and afterward in different eating houses along the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad. She determined, last week, to make an effort to learn whether her father was living, and accordingly advertised in a number of daily papers. She soon received a telegram from her father stating that he had sent her brother to Bath to bring her home. Her brother arrived in Bath on Saturday, and returned with his sister to their father's home in Williamsport, Pa. He is a mechanic and said to be in well-to-do circumstances.

The judge said that he thought the man acted indiscreetly as also did the officer in using his baton, and then suspended sentence during good behavior, after warning the defendant to keep away from Mr. KERWIN's beat.

PETER BUNES' FATAL FALL     
 
Thrown From His Loaded Wagon to the East Avenue Pavement       
 
Peter BUNE, a market gardener in the town of Brighton, met with a fatal accident on East avenue early yesterday afternoon. BUNE was driving quite rapidly along the avenue, when the tiling with which his wagon was loaded suddenly lipped, overturning his seat and throwing him headlong to the pavement.         
     Two or three men passing by picked him up and sent in a call for the city ambulance, and he was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital.        
     At the hospital it was found that his skull was fractured, and that his body was badly bruised. The physicians worked hard to save his life, but all efforts to revive him were fruitless and he died about 3 o'clock. He had remained unconscious from the time of his fall.     
     Mr. BUNE was 50 years old. He was well known in Brighton, where he had lived for _ years. The unfortunate man's son, who is employed on Mr. DRYER's yacht in Charlotte, was sent for, and arrived at the hospital a few minutes after his father died. Besides his son he is survived by his sister, living in Tonawanda.     
     Those who saw Mr. BUSE fall say that he was thrown from his wagon headfirst with a good deal of force, and fell on the pavement on his head. Coroner GRAHAM was summoned, and after investigating the affair granted a certificate of death by accident.

MORTUARY MATTERS      
 
DEATH OF REV. Ezekiel G. Robinson, Formerly President of the Seminary.      
 
Word was received in this city last evening of the death of Rev. Ezekiel G. ROBINSON in Boston, Mass., yesterday afternoon. Ezekiel Gilman ROBINSON was born at Attleborough, Bristol county, Mass., March 13, 1815 and was consequently in the 80th year of his age. He was graduated from Brown University in 1838 and the Newton Theological Institution in 1842. He was pastor at Norfolk, Va., from 1842 to 1845, and at Cambridge, Mass., in 1846. In the same year he became professor of Biblical interpretation in the Western Theological Seminary, at Covington, Ky. From 1850 to 1853 he was pastor of the Ninth Street Church, Cincinnati. During all these years he had been steadily growing in power and reputation, and when he become professor of theology in the Rochester Theological Seminary in the spring of 1853, the feeling was general that the field was the one above all others for which his abilities, his acquirements, and his mental traits peculiarly fitted him. In 1857, at the resignation of Dr. CONANT, he was the senior professor and virtual president, but the title of president was not conferred upon him till 1868. During the nearly twenty years of his connection with the seminary, Dr. ROBINSON achieved a work the arduousness and the influences of which cannot easily be over estimated. In 1867 and 1868 Dr. ROBINSON traveled extensively in Europe and in 1872 became president of Brown University. He held this position until five or six years ago, when he received a professorship in the divinity school in the University of Chicago _oon and was unexpected. His remains will be brought here for interment.

Interesting Ceremony by Sons and Daughters of the Revolution
 
Dobbs Ferry, N. Y., June 14 - On the spot where WASHINGTON and the Count de ROCHAMBEAU planned the final campaign which brought independence to the republic, the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution gathered to-day and, with ceremonies that stirred the patriotism in the hearts of dwellers by the Historic Hudson, laid the foundation stone of a monument in memory of the heroes of the past.        
     The day, the anniversary of the adoption of the stars and stripes, was fittingly chosen for the event, and perfect weather added to the enjoyment of the affair. Thousands of persons were present and witnessed the ceremonies. Among the distinguished men present were Vice-President STEVENSON, Chauncey M. DEPEW, Secretary of the Navy Herbert, Admiral GHERARDI, Stewart L. WOODFORD, General Horace PORTER and Archbishop CORRIGAN. Two United States warships, the Miantomah and the Lancaster were anchored in the river just off where the exercises were held. They were gayly bedecked with flags and colors, and presented a pretty picture. Vice-President STEVENSON was escorted to the stand by a detail selected from the signal corps of the second brigade. When he arrived there 1,000 school children from the different villages in the neighborhood were assembled, and sang "The Star Spangled Banner."        
     The literary exercises were then begun. After a prayer by Archbishop TIFFANY, representing Bishop PORTER, an address of welcome by Hon. D. O. BRADLEY and a reply by Colonel J. C. KALHOUN were made. The oration of the day was delivered by General Stewart L. WOODFORD.       
     A brief speech was then made by Vice-President STEVENSON. The presentation of the site for the monument was made by Dr. Joseph HASROUCK, the acceptance and dedicatory speech by Hon. Chauncey M. DEPEW. The corner stone laid amid the rattle of musketry and a national salute by the warships. A luncheon was served to the invited guests at West Minister school, after which a reception was given them.

Justice Adams Hands Down a Decision in the Trotter Refrigerator Case.
 
Hon. William H. ADAMS of Canandaigua, has handed down a decision in the case in supreme court, Wayne county, entitled the United Glass Company against Phebe A. VARY, the Trotter Refrigerator Company and Peter R. SLEIGHT, receiver of the Trotter Refrigerator Company, impeached. The Trotter Refrigerator Company was a corporation with headquarters in this city and with factory at Newark. It manufactured refrigerators upon the Trotter patent, and sash, doors and blinds. The latter part of the business paid, but the refrigerator business was a fizzle. The concern lost money from the beginning.           
     Finally a judgment was recovered and docketed in Wayne county, and George W. KNOWLES, sheriff of Wayne county at that time, made a levy. A receiver was applied for and Peter R. SLEIGHT of the banking firm of VARY & SLEIGHT, was appointed as receiver.       
     Shortly before this a mortgage of $13,000 was recorded, given to Phebe A. VARY, wife of one of the firm of VARY & SLEIGHT. Among the creditors was the United States Glass Co., of Syracuse, who, through Charles S. KENT, of Syracuse, brought an action to have the mortgage set aside. A number of other creditors united with the United Glass Company in maintaining the action. The matter was litigated furiously, Satterlee & Yeomans appearing for Phebe A. VARY, and Hubel & McGuire for Peter R. SLEIGHT, the receiver.           
     In the decision handed down, Judge ADAMS holds that the mortgage should be set aside. This brings $13,000 of assets to the front which will be highly appreciated by the creditors, whose chance prior to this had been very slim, as expenses had been very high in conducting the receivership and fighting litigation.

Mr. SPERRY had two ribs broken, and although Clarence SMITH's leg was not broken, it was badly injured, while Hiram WILLIAMS escaped unhurt, he not even spilling his paint.      
 
--As Henry BAKER, a teamster employed at Cobb's canning factory at Fairport, on Thursday was loading empty boxes into the rear end of a wagon, near the factory, the horses started in some sudden fright, attempting to wheel round in a circle. BAKER ran across in front of them, hoping to stop them, but was thrown under the wagon, which passed over him, crushing three of his ribs, and causing internal injuries, the full extent of which cannot yet be ascertained. BAKER lies in a precarious condition, in charge of Dr. MAGILL, of Fairport. The horses ran as far as Scutt's carriage factory, when one of the team was thrown and then captured and their escapade ended without further damage.

The animal gave a sudden lunge and young CAIRE lost his grip upon the reins and was thrown from the cart. The young Swede was also thrown, but in falling his coat became attached to a projection of the vehicle and he was dragged along the ground, head downward, the entire length of Center street. His coat finally became detached and he was picked up and taken to the office of Dr. McCLELLAN. His left hip was seriously injured and he was otherwise painfully injured.

As Officer KLEIN was passing the old Jewish Church on McDonald avenue about 9:30 o'clock last evening he discovered a bright light within.

The officer threw the lamp out of the window and with a couple of pails of water succeeded in extinguishing the blaze. No one in the neighborhood could describe any cause for the fire but as the table and floor were saturated with oil there seems to be no doubt that some one was trying to rid the street of the old building.

PLAYFUL MR. DRABBEL
 
Wanted a Stenographer and Now is Sorry For it.     
Hugged The Applicant       
Then Kissed Her, and as She Didn't Like That Kind of Treatment  
She Will Try to Collect $1,000 for the Insult.     
 
Last Monday there appeared in an afternoon paper a "want ad" which set forth the fact that a "first-class stenographer" was wanted at No. 210 Ellwanger & Barry building. In this building at the number given is the office of the Edison phonograph, and one Charles DRABBEL is the manager thereof.      
     An advertisement for a stenographer doesn't go long unanswered these days, and late Monday afternoon a young lady who had been a pupil at a local shorthand school called at No. 210 Ellwanger & Barry building to make application for the position that she had been lead to believe was open there. She didn't take the job.     
     Now just what was wanted of a first-class stenographer and just what are Mr. DRABBLE's ideas of the qualifications of a first-class stenographer, are points that up to date are open to many theories.       
     The young lady who answered the advertisement is a pretty girl about 19 years old and her home is in Oswego. She answered the advertisement upon the suggestion of the head of the school that she has been attending. It was only a few minutes before 6 o'clock Monday afternoon when she called at the number given in the advertisement. Now there are many ways of greeting an applicant for a job, but up to date the method of Mr. DRABBLE stands alone. When the pretty young stenographer had entered the office and the door had been closed behind her, DRABBLE, instead of beginning to question her concerning her ability in her profession, proceeded without loss of time to embrace her.         
     The young girl was frightened out of her wits for a moment and was dazed by this novel and totally unexpected reception, DRABBLE hugged her and tried to kiss her. It took her but a moment to regain her presence of mind, and then she began to struggle. She succeeded in freeing herself from the amorous embraces of the fellow and asked for an explanation of his conduct.        
     "What do you mean?" she demanded.     
     Mr. DRABBLE innocently asked what was the matter. 
     The indignant girl replied that he knew quite well what was the matter, and demanded that the door be opened and that she be allowed to depart.       
     "Give me a kiss," said the playful DRABBEL.   
     An indignant refusal to comply with this request only excited DRABBLE to further advances, and before he would allow the young stenographer to depart he took her face in his hands and kissed her.      
     Then the door was opened and the girl left in a hurry, but DRABBEL, thinking that perhaps he had gone too far, followed her to the elevator and made the reasonable request that she say nothing about what had happened.         
     But she did say something about it. In fact, she told all about it to a lawyer, and now Mr. DRABBLE finds himself sued for assault, with damages places at $1,000. Coon & French, in the Elwood building, are handling the girl's case. John KEENAN is acting for DRABBLE.    
     DRABBLE will attempt to have the plaintiff put up $250 to pay costs if the case goes against her, and this issue will come up in the county court within a few days. The complaint has been served and in it are set forth the foregoing facts.

DEATH ON THE CROSSING    
 
William Buyck's Two Little Ones Killed by a Lehigh Engine.    
The Horse Ran Away   
Engineer Sarsfield Saw the Danger to Eddie and Nellie Buyck         
too Late to Stop His Engine -- Their Dead Bodies on the Cowcatcher.  
 
The Lehigh Valley train, leaving this city at 7:30 last evening, and arriving in Henrietta at 7:45, crashed into a wagon in which were seated two children of William BUYCK on the crossing half a mile north of the Henrietta station, killing the children instantly and shattering the wagon into small pieces.     
     The train, carrying a few passengers, was running at the rate of about thirty miles an hour when the crossing was reached. Engineer SARSFIELD was looking through one of the windows across the field to one side of the track, and Fireman CONNELL was back on the tender.       
     No one was aware of the terrible disaster about to happen until a woman's scream came across the fields from a farm house near by and a terrific crash was heard in front. The train went thundering on down the track, and a frightened horse, dragging his reins behind him, dashed away up the road, disappearing in a cloud of dust.        
     The engineer, when he heard the terrified scream from the farm house in the trees across the field, and saw a woman running through the grass toward the train waving her arms, jumped back and glanced out the front window along the track. Hardly had he been warned when a cloud of splinters flew into the air, and two little bodies were thrown high into the air, striking on the front of the engine, where they hung until the train was stopped and they were lifted off. The engineer, who is a powerful man over six feet high seized the lever the moment the crash came, but the engine ran on 150 feet from the crossing before it was finally stopped.         
     The bodies were those of a boy and girl. One was Eddie BUYCK, 9 years old, and the other was his sister, Nellie, aged 11. The boy's head was smashed in at the back. His sister's face was streaked with blood which had trickled down over her little white dress, which was also soaked with blood about the waist.      
     The bodies were lifted into a car, and the train continued its journey to the Henrietta station. Then the bodies were carried into the storage room, and a few minutes later the train went on again.         
     Until late in the night the bodies of the children lay on a big box in the dark room, while now and then some of the towns people or farmers came timidly in with a lantern and looked at them. It was a very pathetic sight, the little bodies lying close together, the boy's arm lying over his sister, and her big straw hat lying between them.         
     It took but a moment to identify the bodies after they were brought to the station. The children had been well-known in the town, and everybody recognized them. Farmer J. WINEGUARD took upon himself the duty of notifying the parents, and started off for their farm a mile and a half away on horseback.      
     The parents were heartbroken when they heard of the disaster. They said they had bought the horse only a few weeks before for them because it had been recommended as being perfectly safe. The children had delivered several orders for milk from the farm during the afternoon, and had then been sent to the farm of Nelson NELSON to ask Farmer NELSON to come the next day to help their father plant corn. They were driving west toward the plank road on a continuation of Clay street when the accident occurred.      
     The only persons who saw the accident were Mrs. CHAPPEL and her daughter, who live near the crossing. It was Mrs. CHAPPEL's scream that warned Engineer SARSFIELD a moment too late.          
     Andrew LASTINE was cultivating in a field on his farm when he heard the crash, and, leaving his cultivator, ran up the dusty road in time to see the bodies hanging on the engine and the horse galloping madly away.        
      The children were struck by train No. 178. It is supposed that they saw the train before they attempted to cross, and did not calculate the distance or the speed of the train correctly. If they were on the lookout at all they must have seen the train, as the track is perfectly straight at that point and can be seen for at least half a mile in each direction. The train was in charge of Conductor DELAVERGNE.        
     Farmer BUYCK has lived in Henrietta for the past five years, having moved there from Irondequoit. He has one child left, Abram, about 13 years old.     
     Coroner KLEINDIENST went to Henrietta last night and impaneled a jury.

DEATH OF CHARLES  E. HART 
 
Charles E. HART died at his home, No. 123 Plymouth avenue, at 7 o'clock last evening. He had been an invalid for the past two years, and some months ago suffered a stroke of paralysis which was repeated on Sunday last, and terminated in his death.        
     Mr. HART was born in Brighton September 13, 1827. His early education was secured in the old High School of this city, and his business career began with the firm of Britton, Wilder & Fay, which later became the well-known dry goods house of A. S. MANN.         
     He was one of the California pioneers or forty-niners who left here in February of that year, via the Istmus of Panama. In California he engaged in mining, farming and merchandising and imported there from Rochester the first fruit trees that were planted on the shores of the bay of San Francisco. In 1858 Mr. HART returned to Rochester and married Miss Mary E. POTTER, daughter of the late Henry S. POTTER of this city. During the year of his marriage he went to St. Louis where he was engaged in the real estate business until 1864, when he returned east to begin the most eventful period of his life which comprised fifteen years in drilling and operating oil wells in Western Pennsylvania. He became an expert in oil well matters and was engaged in the business during the height of the oil excitement. In 1879 he became interested in mining in Colorado where he remained for about five years, but ill health compelled his return to Rochester where he has since resided at his late home on Plymouth avenue, with the exception of the past four winters which he has spent in Florida.       
     Mr. HART was a true sportsman in the best sense of the phrase, and enjoyed with a keen relish his fishing and hunting trips which were numerous.        
     He leaves one son, Howard M., of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. Charles H. WILTSIE, also of this city, and Mrs. J. Scuder FARLEE, of New York city. The funeral services will be held at his late home at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. The interment will be private.
