ADAM STERN DEAD

A Resident and Business Man in Rochester for Forty-Four Years

Abram STERN died last evening at 10:45 o'clock, at his late residence, No. 7 Hyde park. For some time he had not been strong, and had been confined to his bed for about four weeks, a complication of diseases finally causing death.

Mr. STERN was born in Germany in 1822 and immigrated to America in 1848, settling first in Buffalo, where he was employed as a clerk in a dry goods house for three years, after which time he moved to Rochester, in 1851. From the time when he came to this city until he retired from active business life, in 1879, he was engaged almost constantly in the millinery, fancy and dry goods business, first at No. 10 State street and later at No. 66 Mill street, a portion of the time being interested in business at both numbers, the Mill street store serving as a wholesale house. During most of this time, he was associated with Joseph BEIR and Israel STERN. Since 1879 he had not been actively engaged in business.

Aside from being a prominent business man, he was well known as having been connected with the city's politics as an office holder. He represented the old sixth ward in the common council from 1871 to 1874, inclusive, and again in 1881 and 1882, being elected on the Republican ticket. The chairmanship of the counsel was offered him at one time, but he declined in favor of some alderman who had been longer connected with the interests of this country. He was a member of the court house committee of the council when the subject of the new court house was first discussed, and championed its cause. In 1884 Mr. STERN was elected supervisor, to represent the old sixth ward, and served in that capacity until 1892, making eight successive years.

Socially Mr. STERN was a man well known and highly respected by all classes. He was a member of Valley Lodge, No. 109, F. & A. M., Benai Berith Association, a member of Bereth Kodesh congregation, in which he held several important officers; of the Eureka Club, and several other Jewish organizations.

Besides a wife, three sons and one daughter survive, as follows: Simon STERN, of the clothing firm of Rothchild, Baum & Stern; Morley A., of the firm of Michaels, Stern & Co., Leon, of the architectural firm of Nolan, Nolan & Stern, and Mrs. KIRCHBERGER, of Chicago, Ill. The funeral will be attended Friday at 2 P. M., from the residence, No. 7 Hyde park.

AT A GOOD OLD AGE

Mrs. Emily GREGORY died at her home, No. 17 Joiner street, yesterday morning, aged 80 years. Mrs. GREGORY was born in Schenectady, and of a family of thirteen children was the only survivor at her demise. Early in life she learned the trade of a vestmaker, and for many years followed the life of a seamstress of the olden times.

She came to Rochester in the days of canal packet boats, before such a thing as sewing machines were known. In 1851 she was married to Squire C. GREGORY, their only child being a son, Elijah B. Gregory, with whom she had her home on her own property for many years past.

On coming to Rochester she joined the First Baptist Church, and for a number of years was active in its religious work there, though of a retiring disposition, always taking especial pleasure in missionary work. Of late she had been a constant attendant at the Rescue Mission, where she was a favorite, and "grandma's" words were listed to eagerly at that place of aggressive work. Many who knew her will miss the genial smile and pleasant word, and no one will doubt that she has gone to a happier home.

Mrs. GREGORY was the daughter of Mr. Julius BOLLES, a successful business man of Schenectady.

REV. LOUIS JOHN MEURICE

Rev. Louis John MEURICE, who died at Charlotte yesterday, was one of the oldest and best known priest in this diocese. For over forty years he was in the charge of the Mother of Sorrows at Mt. Reed, in the town of Greece. His parish work was among a peculiar people and his influence was widely felt, not only in the field of his labors, but over all Western new York. Although a man of over 75 years of age at the time of his death, he was in full possession of his mental faculties and was an active worker in St. Bernard's Seminary, where he was stationed after leaving his charge at Mount Reed. His loss will be keenly felt by a large circle of friends and parishioners who were the recipients of his charities.

THREE RUNAWAY BOYS

They Started From Geneva on a Pleasure Trip

A Deficiency Of Cash

One Had Money to Pay His Fare Home, But the Other Two
Had a Tiresome Night - Ontario County News

Wednesday evening Eugene TUNNEY, Roy BIDDLECOME and Willie UPDIKE, three young lads of Geneva, each about 14 years of age, started out, as they said afterwards, for a pleasure trip. They got on a south-bound Fall Brook freight train at the depot about 6:30 o'clock in the evening, and all rode as far as Earls, at which place young UPDIKE, who is a paper carrier in Geneva, got off, saying that he would have to be home in the morning to peddle papers. UPDIKE had enough money in his pocket to pay for a ticket, which he purchased and took the 8 o'clock passenger train and came home. The other two boys, who had no money, stayed on the freight and continued on as far as Himrods Junction, which is about twenty-six miles from Geneva.

Thinking that they had gone far enough on their pleasure trip, they got off and waited for a return freight which did not come along until about 1 o'clock the next morning. They succeeded in getting on all right and rode to Long Point, where they were put off by the conductor. They then walked back to Himrods Junction, a distance of five miles. In the meantime their parents at home became greatly excited when they did not come home at the usual hour. Mrs. TUNNEY went to the home of Mr. UPDIKE and learned the whereabouts of her son. She immediately went to the Fall Brook telegraph office and aroused the operator, L. J. LEE, who telegraphed to all points along the line and finally succeeded in locating the runaways at Himrods Junction. The operator at that place saw the boys waiting on the outside and resting from their long walk. By a request from Mrs. TUNNEY he locked them in the waiting room until she could get there. Mrs. TUNNEY left on the 8:30 A. M. train for Himrods Junction and returned yesterday afternoon at 1:10 o'clock with the young truants. The boys are of respectable parents and no reason can be given for their escapade.

-Chester and Henry ROYCE, of Canandaigua, received a telegram yesterday telling of the death of their step- mother at Saratoga.

D., who was going to enter upon a revival campaign in Geneva the 1st of January, saying that he had met with a serious accident which will lay him up for about a month. Extensive arrangements had been for the revival. Other arrangements, however, will probably be made and it is thought that Dr. CHAPMAN will come later.

-The vicinity of the town line boundary between Canandaigua and Farmington is much excited over the arrest of Albert RANDALL, who is charged by his neighbor, John SLOCUM, with grand larceny. Tuesday SLOCUM, came to Canandaigua and swore out a warrant for the arrest of RANDALL upon the above charge, before Justice of the Peace E. H. FRARY. Yesterday morning Officer SLEGHT, armed with the warrant, went to the seat of disturbance and arrested RANDALL, and brought him before Judge FRARY. SLOCUM charged RANDALL with stealing twenty-six of his fine Christmas turkeys. He said that he missed the birds and found them among RANDALL'S flock. As RANDALL'S attorney, W. H. KNAPP, was not present, the defendant was released on $400 bail to appear next Tuesday for examination.

Man Sandbagged at Batavia - A Mother Dies Hearing of Her Son's Illness.

Frank LOCKNEGHT, of Batavia, who resides with Herman FOLLET on Jackson street, reported to the police on Tuesday night that he had been assaulted by some unknown man while going down South Liberty street. He said that at a dark spot a short distance south of Ellicott street, a man suddenly sprang out from behind a tree and struck him a blow on the head, rendering him unconscious. When he recovered his assailant had disappeared. His description tallied closely to a boy named Jack FARRELL, and later FARRELL and George DONOGHUE were arrested at the corner of Ellicott and Court streets. They were arraigned in court yesterday morning. No evidence could be found to substantiate the charge against DONOGHUE and he was allowed to plead guilty to public intoxication. Sentence was suspended in FARRELL'S case. Judge WOODWORTH thought there was insufficient evidence to hold him, therefore he was discharged. The justice gave him some advice on the subject of sand- bagging before releasing him.

Mrs. DEWEY was in her fifty-sixth year and nearly all her life had been spent in Byron.

-Edward AHL, a well-known young man who resides on Russ street in Batavia, was arrested by Officer PLATO yesterday morning by virtue of a warrant issued by Judge WOODWARD on complaint of Agnes ROURK, of Russ street.

A search warrant was issued and the person and premises of AHL were carefully searched, but the property could not be found. The affidavit of Constable BENEDICT was produced, showing that he searched the room of Mr. AHL on December 9th and there found a gold watch chain and locket, which Mr. AHL said belonged to Anna ROURK, and was identified by her. AHL plead not guilty through his attorney, W. E. WEBSTER, and a jury trial set down for December 31st. His bail was fixed at $150, his mother going on his bond.

ALLEGANY

Plot Discovered to Deliver Prisoners from the Jail at Belmont

Evidently there has been a plot on among some of the prisoners confined in the county jail at Belmont, to escape. Sheriff SWIFT discovered several small steel saws, of the finest quality, secreted in a small box. Evidently they had been furnished to some of the prisoners by outside friends. There were no marks to be found where an attempt had been made to use these saws, and Sheriff SWIFT thinks the steel bars of the cells would withstand any such attempt. He also found a key in course of construction from an old case knife.

AGAIN DISGRACED

Father Fitzgerald Makes Himself Conspicuous
A Bully And A Coward
Nora Cronin Attacked In A public Place
Act Of A Brutal Cad
The Girl Wished to Accompany Her Unfortunate Brother to Auburn,
But Was Dragged From the Car By the Suspended But Still Frocked Priest

A most unusual, undignified and surprising, in which Father FITZGERALD was the principal and decidedly aggressive actor and Nora CRONIN an unwilling participant, was enacted at the Central-Hudson railway station about 10 o'clock yesterday morning, in the presence of a large number of people.

After receiving his seven-year sentence of imprisonment at Auburn on conviction of arson for being implicated in the burning of the Holy Cross Church parochial school building at Charlotte, John CRONIN expressed to Jailer CAWTHRA the wish that his sister Nora might be permitted to accompany him, when he should be taken to Auburn to serve his long term. He informed his sister that he would like to have her with him during the journey, and she also asked that she might be allowed to go. They both seemed to think that the woman might be able to intercede for her brother with the prison officials, and succeed in obtaining for him certain concessions, such as labor which would be to John's liking or a cell more pleasantly situated than he would otherwise be assigned to. Mr. CAWTHRA saw no object in refusing the unfortunate brother and sister (didn't get the rest)
