Fairport--A very sad and sudden death occurred in this village Saturday evening. Warren R. Bingham died at his home on Woodlawn avenue. Mr. Bingham was in usual health Saturday morning when he arose, which was about 5:30 o'clock, but it being early he went back to bed for a short time and was conversing with his wife when he was suddenly stricken with apoplexy and remained unconscious until death. He had been in excellent health and had remarked to his wife how well he slept and how good he felt. Medical assistance was called but nothing could be done and he died at susset. He leaves besides his wife, two daughters, Mrs. John Kohler of Rochester and Mrs. Charles Goodrich, and one son, A. Rowe Bingham of this place. His death seems particularly sad as Mrs. Bingham lost a mother, brother and sister last summer. Funeral to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. Rev. D. Thomas MacClymont, pastor of the Baptist Church, will officiate.

Mrs Hall, an aged lady living alone at her home on Summit street, was found in an unconscious condition lying on the floor Saturday afternoon.

By looking at the stove it was found that she had started up the fire as usual in the morning and it was first supposed she had an attach of paralysis but it is now thought she had a dizzy spell and in falling struck her head which rendered her unconscious. She was not found until afternoon and was very cold. She regained consciousness after much medical work but is still in a very critical condition.

Last Saturday night an individual too drunk to even give his name was found in a curious predicament in Cornwell's gully, in the rear of the house of Philip Werley, on Upper Liberty street. He was seen to drive into the gully and as there is but the one entrance and exit and he did not return, an investigation was made in the fear that in his condition he had met with harm. It was found that he had driven into the creek, which was very high from the rains, and his horse had turned down, gone with the current until the wheels became wedged in the rocks, had then broken loose and gone foraging for himself, and that his owner was camping in the wagon in the middle of the creek with two pint bottles of whisky to keep him warm.
