OBITUARY.
Charles W. HOUGH.
BATAVIA, May 5. — Capt. Charles W. HOUGH, one of Batavia's foremost citizens and one who has done more for the
welfare of the village than any one man, died at home on East Main street about 8:30 o'clock last night. Mr. HOUGH
had not been feeling well for several days, but his condition was not considered serious. After dinner last night
he was seated in his library reading when he suddenly grasped for breath and fell to the floor dead. Mrs. HOUGH
was the only member of the family at home at the time and she hastily summoned a doctor but his efforts to revive
the prostrate man were without avail. Mr. HOUGH was 63 years of age and since 1871 had lived in Batavia, where
he was treasurer and a heavy stockholder of the Wiard Plow Company. For many years he was president of the Board
of Trade and when the Wiard meeting, after incorporation of that body, was held last Tuesday night, he presided.
Mr. HOUGH was the man most instrumental in getting the Johnson Harvester Company, the Baker gun, Bidwell bean thrasher
works and many other enterprises to locate at Batavia. When the Civil War opened, Mr. HOUGH enlisted as a private
and after successive promotions at the end of the war he was mustered out as a captain in the Second New York Artillery.
Mr. HOUGH has opened many new streets in Batavia and built them up. Highland park, one of Batavia's most (didn't

SUICIDE AT SHORTSVILLE.
William POTTER Puts a Bullet Through His Head.
SHORTSVILLE, May 5. — William POTTER, who has been living with his daughter, Mrs. S.A. BURTON, shot and killed
himself yesterday afternoon. He had just finished his dinner and had left the house when the report of a revolver
was heard. Investigation led to finding the old gentleman's dead body near the side of the house.
Mr. POTTER, since the death of his wife six years ago, had often expressed the wish that he had gone with her.
He had said he should take his life some day, but his friends did not think he was in earnest. He purchased the
revolver of PECK Brothers Thursday last, unbeknown to the family.
Mr. POTTER was 79 years old and had been a resident of the town of Manchester about thirty years and at one time
served the town as its collector. One daughter, Mrs. Burton, three sons, James of Manchester, John W. of Holland
and Eben T. of Seneca Castle, survive.

LATTINVILLE INQUEST
Coroner KLEINDIENST Decides Death Was Due to Boy's Carelessness.
This morning Coroner KLEINDIENST conducted the final session of the inquest in the case of Antoine LATINVILLE who
was killed by a train at the Childs street crossing of the Central railroad on Thursday night. After hearing the
evidence Coroner KLEINDIENST returned a verdict that the boy's death was due to his own carelessness.
Officer James COLLINS stated that a cyclist notified him of the accident and he summoned St. Mary's Hospital ambulance.
Charles H. SMITH, the engineer, and Thomas HART, the fireman of the train, both testified that they did not know
anything about the accident. Mr. SMITH said that the bell was ringing all the time the train was passing from the
city limits to the Central Depot. The whistle was also blown a few times.
Edward DUNN, who was riding with LATTINVILLE and his sister when the accident occurred, was one of the principal
witnesses at yesterday's session. He stated that Flagman John B. KLIER tried to ward the boy back and that he and
the sister yelled at Antoine, without attracting his attention. Mrs. Emma RUTTKOWSKI, the sister, testified that
her brother's hearing and eyesight were good. Flagman KLIER said Antoine's face was turned towards the rear when
the train struck him.
The funeral of the young boy will be held from the family residence, No. 463 Lyell avenue, at 8:30 o'clock Monday
morning and at 9 o'clock from the Holy Apostles' Church.
He is survived by his parents, three brothers, William, Philip, and Frederick, and five sisters, Mrs. Bernard RUTTOWSKI,
