Death of Mrs. Marietta CRANE - Two Bicycle Accidents
PENN YAN, July 10. - The remains of Mrs. Marietta CRANE, a former resident of
Penn Yan, who died at the home of her daughter in Chicago, were brought here for
interment Sunday, the funeral being held yesterday afternoon. The deceased
leaves two children, Libbie, who lives in Chicago, and Arthur, residing in
Elmira.
On Sunday two bicycle accidents occurred in town, in both of which the escapes
from injury were narrow. In the forenoon, while coming down a slight pitch on
East main street, at a good rate of speed, Gibb LYNN, a youngster living on Head
street, took a header, landing on his face. His face and head were so badly cut
as to necessitate a visit to Dr. E.P. STUART, who found the bone on the nose
slightly smashed, and the inside of both lips so badly torn as to require that
the knife be used to remove the ribbons of flesh. LYNN was also bruised from
head to foot. In the evening, when returning from the lake through Elm street,
George BARBER was run into by a wagon, which threw him from his wheel, smashing
it somewhat, and tearing off the handlebars. He was lucky enough to escape with
a badly wrenched shoulder and bad bruises.

AMOS WOODWANCY.
Death of an Aged Resident of Seneca - Story of Drowning.
SENECA FALLS, July 10.-- Amos WOODMANCY died yesterday
afternoon at his home in this village of general debility, aged 83 years. The
deceased was born in this county in 1817 and until compelled by advancing years
to retire from active life, followed farming near Magee, in the town of Tyra. He
is survived by his wife and one daughter. The funeral will be held from the
house at 2 o'clock to-morrow afternoon, Rev. Dr. TINKER, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, officiating.

It was reported on the streets yesterday that Anthony
Le VELLE and James, better known as "Burhyte" BURNS of this village,
has been drowned in the canal near Geneva. The men were at work for C.B. HOOD, a
coal dealer of this place. The story lacks confirmation, although several
stories were in circulation, one of which is to the effect that Saturday night
BURNS was seen to fall in the water and Le VELLE jump in after him, since which
time they have not been seen. Both are cosmopolitan in their manner of living
and it is possible that they have simply gone away on a tour of the country, and
will return home later.

BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A YOUNG MAN
Dragged from Buggy and Pounded by Man Twice His Size.
Then Frank KIMBALL Was Forced to Get Into Another Buggy While Other Sat on Him.
Arrests Made and Fine Imposed on Assailant - Suit for Damages Will Probably be
Brought.
The people of Hamlin town are very much wrought up over
the actions of John G. JOHNS and Frank MADDEN, the former residing in Clarkson,
and the later in Hamlin, who were guilty of a brutal and unprovoked assault upon
Frank KIMBALL, the son of Ira KIMBALL, a life-long resident of Hamlin. There
have been several arrests, and it is said that the end is yet to be seen. This
will probably be a suit for damages against the men who were responsible for the
outrage.
Some of the details of the affair were given to a Union
reporter by Supervisor James REDMAN to-day, and other details were learned from
people living in the vicinity of the outrage.
It seems that KIMBALL, JONES and MADDEN, met in
Singleton's Hotel, in the town of Hamlin, one afternoon about two weeks ago, and
stood drinking at the bar when they had some words. There was no serious outcome
of the barroom altercation. KIMBALL had his rig out under the shed, and JONES
and MADDEN had theirs out there also. When it came time to go home they all went
out into the shed, and took different directions for home. KIMBALL drove east
and JONES and MADDEN got in the other buggy and drove south.
After they had gone about half a mile JONES discovered
that their whip was gone, and he at once began to swear and..... (missing rest

INFANT SCALED TO DEATH.
Arthur EAGAN Meets His Death at His Home.
Fell Into a Tub of Scalding Water and Was Fatally Burned.
About One-Third of His Little Body was Scalded and He Died in Terrible Agony.
Arthur EAGAN, the 3-year-old son of Mrs. Ella EAGAN,
died at the City Hospital at 6 o'clock this morning after hours of terrible
suffering from burns caused by falling into a boiler of scalding water. Coroner
SIBLEY was notified of the case and is making an investigation.
The child was playing about the kitchen of his home at
216 Plymouth avenue, at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the time of the accident.
His mother was doing the family washing and had placed a boiler of water on the
stove. When the water had become heated to the boiling point she removed it from
the front of the stove where it had been placed and put it on the floor. She had
been careful to keep the child from the vicinity of the stove and had been
successful during most of the afternoon.
She had just placed the boiler of water on the floor
and turned her back to it, when the toddler managed to get near it, and in some
manner, which the mother could not describe, fell into the boiler, almost as
soon as she had turned her back. She did not see the child fall, but heard the
splash of his little body and his half suppressed scream of pain. She turned and
fearlessly plunged her hands into the boiling water to pull the little one from
his perilous position. He was a little out of breath from his plunge, but the
worst injuries came from..... (missing rest of article)

BOY KILLED BY WAGON TONGUE
Terrible Death of Charles SCHROEDER, a Teamster.
His Team Pinned Him to Another Wagon by Means of the Pole.
Young Man Remained Conscious Through It All and Bravely Submitted to an
Operation.
Charles SCHROEDER, aged 19 years, met with an accident yesterday afternoon in
front of the Second Baptist Church, corner of North and Franklin streets, which
resulted in his death a few hours later. Coroner SIBLEY took charge of the case
and will hold an inquest at the morgue Thursday morning.
Young SCHROEDER was the son of William SCHROEDER, at teamster, of West Brighton,
and boarded with his uncle, Louis WERNER at No. 12 Wilcox street. He was
employed by the latter as a driver and was one of a number who were at work
yesterday drawing coal for George E. ENGERT & Co. to the Second Baptist
Church. His wagon was loaded with three tons of coal and was standing with
several others in front of the church waiting to unload. It was partly across
the crosswalk and SCHROEDER's attention was called to it when a couple of ladies
desired to cross. He sprang to his horses' heads and started them up to clear
the crosswalk. They went forward a few feet and before the boy could stop them
the tongue had pinned him against the back of another coal wagon. The tongue
pressed against his stomach. In spite of the pain the boy backed his horses and

Lost Wedding Ring Found of the Day of the Death of the Owner.
PHELPS, July 10.-- A somewhat curious incident
connected with the death of Mrs. Edward NEEDHAM was the finding of her wedding
ring which she lost exactly four years ago, the day of her death. The ring had
been lost in the front yard but the most careful search failed to find it. On
the day she died her sister, Miss BROPHY was pulling a rake through the grass
when Mr. NEEDHAM, who was sitting close by, heard the prongs strike something
making a ringing sound. The lost ring came to mind instantly and after a short
search it was found. The ring was in good condition except for a slight crack.

PERILOUS RIDE ON EXPRESS CAR
Youth Was Half Dead When Found by Railroad Detective.
Rode on Narrow Platform While Train Was Going at a Rate of Fifty Miles an Hour.
Had to Hold on for Dear Life and Several Times He Was Nearly Dashed from His
Position.
Eugene CURRY, who was arraigned in Police Court to-day
on a charge of unlawfully riding on a train on the Cental railroad, had a
perilous ride on the platform of an express car attached to a fast train last
night. Several times he was nearly dashed from the narrow platform and had he
not hung on for dear life he would have been ground to death beneath the wheels
of the rapidly moving express. When the train arrived at the Central station
Detective La POINTE found the boy on the platform. He was covered with dirt, wet
and half dead from exposure to the wind and from the effects of trying to hold
on and save himself from a horrible death. After caring for him some time at the
Central station Detective LaPOINTE sent him to the station to be cared for there
and preferred a charge of unlawfully riding on a train against him.
This morning the boy appeared none the worse from his
terrible ride and after he stated that his home was in this city and promised
that he would remain away from the trains he was paroled.
It appears that CURRY had been west and he boarded the
express car of one of the fast trains at Buffalo last night. The platforms to

SENT UP FOR BRUTAL ASSAULT
Street Fakir Who Attacked a Defenseless Old Man.
Made a Long Speech to the Court in His Efforts to Have Sentence Suspended.
Was Unsuccessful and Was Sent to the Penitentiary for a Term of One Month.
John LIVINGSTON, a street fakir, was convicted in
police court to-day of committing a brutal assault on Charles ENGEL and was sent
to the penitentiary for one month, in spite of the fact that he made a speech to
the court and argued that sentence be suspended. He is a very smooth talker, and
although he admitted that he committed the assault he tried to make the court
believe that if he could get a certain man who he claimed was a witness of the
trouble he could show that he was not entirely to blame in the matter. He said
that although he had once before been convicted it was not of a serious offense,
and he thought the court should give him another chance. He would do what he
could to behave himself in the future. He said that he had goods to sell and
that he wanted to get into the street to sell them. Arguing further, he said
that he was industrious, although he occasionally indulged a little too much in
the use of intoxicating liquors.
Judge ERNST said the case had been thoroughly
investigated and it had been ascertained that the assault was brutal and
unprovoked. Even the man that LIVINGSTON wanted called as witness, the court
stated had admitted the..... (missing rest of article)

DEATH OF DR. COGSWELL.
He Was the Man Who Gave the City the Zinc Fountain That Once Stood in Front of
the Court House.
Harry D. COGSWELL, the wealthy San Francisco dentist,
who fifteen years ago conceived the idea of handing down his name to posterity
by presenting drinking fountains to such cities as would accept them, died at
his home a few days ago, aged ?0 years.
He offered one of the fountains to Rochester and the
Common Council and mayor accepted it without knowing what sort of a work of art
it was. After much correspondence the thing arrived and was placed in position
on the northwest corner of the plaza in front of the old Court House. No one
paid much attention to the workmen who built the foundation for the fountain.
Everybody supposed the town had "struck a snap," as the boys say, and
had acquired something of great value for very little outlay. Finally the
fountain proper came and was placed in position. Then there was a howl. It was
made of zinc, most abominably designed and surmounted by a stature of Dr.
COGSWELL. People declared it caused runaways on Main street, funny men on the
papers wrote interviews with the statue and midnight wassailers decorated it
every night with wreaths of flowers, old hats, cast-off coats and any old thing
they could find to hang on it. After a month or two it was reported that an
association had been formed for the purpose of kidnaping the statue and doing
away with it for all time. Whether the association did the work or not makes no
difference. The statue disappeared one night and has never been heard of since.
The fountain part of the thing remained until the Court House was torn down to
make room for the present building, but what became of the statue is known to a
very few. The public generally was so thankful for its removal that no questions
were asked. It was gone, and that was all the people wanted to know.

TRIED TO CASH FORGED CHECK
And the Arrest of Henry S. PHILLIPS Soon Followed.
William H. CARRINGTON, Who Was Asked to Cash the Check, Became Suspicious.
Cleverly Detained the Man Till He Learned the Check Was Worthless and then
Notified Chief CLEARY.
Through clever detective work on the part of William H.
CARRINGTON, who conducts the Haymarket Hotel on Front street, a forger was
arraigned before Judge ERNST in Police Court to-day. The man gives his name as
Henry S. PHILLIPS. He tried to get Mr. CARRINGTON to cash a check for $24.60,
which proved to be forged. The check was drawn on the German-American Bank, and
it was the fact that Mr. CARRINGTON happened to know that H.C. LANGIE, the coal
dealer, whose name was attached to the check, did business at the Merchants'
Bank, that first aroused suspicions in the mind of Mr. CARRINGTON.
It was late yesterday afternoon that a man entered Mr.
CARRINGTON's place of business and introducing himself to Mr. CARRINGTON as
Henry S. PHILLIPS, produced a check for $24.60 drawn on the German-American Bank
on the order of H.C. LANGIE and made payable to Henry S. PHILLIPS, asked Mr.
CARRINGTON to cash it. The stranger told a very smooth story. He said that he
was a painter and paper hanger and that he had worked for some time for Mr.
LANGIE; that he finished his work Monday night and that yesterday morning he
went to the office of the coal dealer for his pay. The..... (missing rest of

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Mrs. Julia ROCKFELLOW of Mt. Morris Suddenly Summoned.
Special Dispatch to Union and Advertiser.
MT. MORRIS, July 11. - Mrs. Julia ROCKFELLOW of this
place was found dead in bed at her home on Murray street this morning. Deceased
was the wife of Samuel L. ROCKFELLOW, superintendent of the Genesee Valley
Manufacturing Company here, and about 70 years of age.
Mrs. ROCKFELLOW fell down stairs several weeks
ago and was severely injured, but had entirely recovered from that, it was
thought, as she was able to be about and seemed to be improving rapidly, and
only yesterday was out calling and appeared in the best of spirits.
Last night she complained of pains in her
stomach, but this was not unusual, and she was cared for by her daughter and
husband. She went to sleep, and as far as they knew, rested well during the
remainder of the night. Her daughter, sleeping in the same room, was not
awakened by her mother, who from all appearances passed away without a struggle.
When her daughter went to her bedside this
morning she found her mother dead. The family physician was called, and then it
was learned that she had been dead two or three hours. Heart disease was
pronounced the cause of death.
Deceased was the daughter of the late James
CONKEY of this place, and had always resided here, with the exception of about
ten years, while her husband was engaged in business in Rochester.
She was a member of the Presbyterian Church and
most highly esteemed. A husband and daughter, Anna G. of this place, and one
son, John, of Tucson, Arizona, survive. Funeral will be held Friday.

Mr. Shearman's Advice to Women
"In the next century people may look back to the speech that Thomas G.
SHEARMAN made at the New York Council of the Business Women's National
Association in New York the other night, and wonder that anybody wondered at it
when delivered, " observes the Boston Transcript. A characteristic
bit of his advice to the women who listened to him was:
"Never think of marriage until you are able to support a husband."
He was greeted with a hearty laugh, but who knows how long there will be the
makings of a laugh left in such a remark? If things keep on as they are
headed--the prosperity of women increasing every year--this may become as staple
advice as its forerunner has been, and it will probably be disregarded just as
jauntily.
Mr. SHEARMAN has a right, divine or some other sort, to talk thus intimately to
women, for he is one of the best friends the working women--especially the
typewriters--ever had. He was the first to employ and train a woman to
operate a typewriting machine in a business office, and through that
introduction of the typewriter to the girl has come about the universal
employment of office girls, for it's rarely that one goes into a business office
in these days where a woman is not reckoned in the force. "As a cold

stairway which goes up to the big stack, and there found a comfortable, warm
place to sleep. This happened to be adjacent to a vent hole for charcoal fumes,

"They were found by a furnace man about 4 o'clock
this morning. GILMAN was identified by cards which he carried, but who LEWIS was

that the pair started out June 28th to go to Lewis' home. They appear to have
been tramping it. There were well clothed, but almost destitute of money. LEWIS

and side were badly burned...... (missing rest of article)

A YOUNG TOUGH ARRESTED.
He and Companions Raided a State Street Store.
John COLLINS, who was arraigned in police court to-day on a charge of petit
larceny by stealing a target pistol valued at $15 from W.H. SPENCER, who
conducts a shooting gallery on State street, is one of the toughest characters
that the police have to deal with. He had been arrested a number of times
although he is not over 18 years of age.
A week ago he and several companions all more or less under the influence of
liquor, went into the shooting gallery while SPENCER was out, and while his wife
was in charge. They intimidated and frightened her and COLLINS, it is claimed,
went behind the counter and stole the pistol. On their way out the men
threatened to kill the woman if she gave the alarm.
