STARTLING DISCOVERY

Apparent Case of Infanticide at Canandaigua
Boys Playing in an Old Pump House Made a Gruesome Exposure
Body of a New-Born Child Found in a Chimney-
The Mother is Arrested

Canandaigua, N. Y., March 24 - Yesterday the police were notified that two boys, Harry ROBINSON and Willie EGBERT, while playing on the Hayton lot at the old pump house, discovered the dead body of a male infant child. Officer William SHEEHAN investigated and found this to be true, and Coroner Frank P. WARNER was notified, who is at work on the case, assisted by the authorities.
    The body was found quite by accident, having been concealed in the large brick chimney, which had a swinging iron door, that had been used to clean out the soot. One of the boys opened this door and peeped into the opening. He saw a ten-pound grape basket, and in it was the body of the baby, wrapped in an old quilt. Dr. WARNER, on a superficial examination, thought that the child had been well at the time it was left in the chimney and had frozen to death.
    District Attorney R. F. THOMPSON, Coroner F. P. WARNER and Chief of Police H. C. BEEMAN worked hard on the case yesterday afternoon, and last night announced that they had found the mother of the babe. Her name is Eva GUSTINE, and she lives on Green street, where she has been living with her mother since coming here from Oneida, in December last. She accuses a man named BENNETT, in Oneida, of being the father of the child. She says it died about five weeks ago, shortly after birth, and an attempt to quietly bury it was foiled by the frozen ground, and the body was then taken to the old chimney in the pump house.
   An inquest will be held to-day, after which arrests may be made.

He was a direct descendant of William BOYD, who came to this country from England the latter part of the seventeenth century.
    The deceased received his education in the public schools and at Red Creek Seminary. He later read law in Michigan.

Mr. BOYD was supervisor of the town of Sodus for five years, being the first to represent the town in that capacity under the law making the term two years. He was one of the most proficient officials Sodus ever had. His knowledge of the law, business and of men made him a desirable man for the office. He always had the confidence of the public, and made a record of which anyone could be proud. He was 75 years old the last time he was elected supervisor.

Railroad Accident at Fairport
    Fairport, N. Y., March 24 - When the west-bound accommodation train No. 69, due here at 12;31, pulled into the New York Central station shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday, the train hands reported a narrowly averted wreck just east of Fairport. Shortly after the train left Macedon, the connecting value between the air hose in one of the cars broke, necessitating the train to stop for it to be repaired. It was repaired in a few moments and the train again started under way. Just as the train reached a point two miles east of Fairport, there was an explosion in the front part of the train, causing the train to stop with such suddenness as to throw the passengers from their seats, several of whom were slightly bruised. It was found that air had given out in the engine and the train hands spent a quarter of an hour fixing it temporarily. The train then proceeded at slow rate of speed to Fairport. When it pulled into Fairport, the air brakes refused to work and the train went some distance beyond the station before it could be stopped.

GENEVA HAS A MURDER CASE

Wounded Italian Died There Yesterday
Warrant For Assailant
Fatal Ending of Stabbing Affray in Italian Boarding House-
Autopsy showed seven Stab Wounds - Police Looking for Accused Man

   Geneva, March 23 - Joshon VINDICTI, the Italian who was stabbed Monday night died this morning at the City Hospital, the stabbing affray thus becoming a murder case. VINDICTI was 30 years of age and lived at No. 18 Sherrill street. The wounds from which he died were inflicted by a fellow countryman named Antonio Di LORETTO, a naturalized American, who fled soon after the assault and has not been seen or heard of since, although every effort is being made to apprehend him.
   Chief of Police KANE has in his possession a warrant to-day issued by Judge WYCKOFF charging the man with first degree murder. Communications were this afternoon addressed to the police of cities and towns in the eastern part of the state where there reside persons with whom Di LORETTO has been in correspondence since he came to this city, asking them to aid in the capture of the fugitive.
   The police took possession of the murderer's trunk at No. 16 Sherrill street yesterday and confiscated numerous letters books and papers supposed to belong to him. Among them were his naturalization papers. The first ones were issued October 24, 1902, at Albany, at which time Di LORETTO was a resident of that city. The citizenship papers were issued from the county clerk's office of Madison county, at Morrisville, October 20, 1904. A postal card was also found which shows that the man has a brother residing somewhere in this state.
   Coroner WEYBURN ordered the body removed to De Vaney & Fletcher's morgue on Main street, where at 5 o'clock this afternoon an autopsy was held by Dr. G. B. YOUNG and Charles F. N___. An inquest will also be held by the coroner.
   An inspection of the body at the morgue this afternoon showed that the man had been stabbed seven times.  One of the cuts to the left of the center of the abdomen was 2 1/2 inches in length. Another (unreadable) penetrated through the __ and it is thought probably was the direct cause of the man's death. There were two deep cuts on the left arm, one just back of the left shoulder blade and two beneath the arm pit on the left side.  All of the cuts were made with a long sharp pointed instrument, no doubt a stiletto, which penetrated in each instance to a great depth.
   Whether the dead man has any relatives in this country has not as yet been ascertained. It is not known either whether he had any money. A pocket book found in his pocket to-day contained nothing but a brass tag with the inscription, "Empire Coke Works, No. 99."

STRUCK BY THE PUSHER

An Unknown Man Seriously Injured at Clyde Yesterday
   Clyde, March 23 - This afternoon about 1 o'clock an accident occurred on the Central Hudson Railroad two miles east of Clyde, or 120 rods east of tower 11, which will probably result in the death of a man about 50 years of age. About noon to-day a westbound freight train stopped at this point and the conductor put off thirteen persons. About an hour later as engine 2,391, employed as a pusher at Clyde station, was backing to the village, the engineer observed a man spring from behind a pile of ties and attempt to board a westbound freight that was passing at the time.
   Apparently the man did not see the pusher, as he stepped on the track directly in front of the engine. The tender struck him and threw him from the track. The engineer stopped the engine and took the injured man to the baggage room at Clyde, where Dr. G. S. ALLEN attended him. An examination showed that he had received a bad cut on the left side of his head, which will probably prove fatal. He was unconscious when picked up and had not recovered when placed on board the 3:23 train on he West Shore road this afternoon to be taken to the Homeopathic Hospital at Rochester.
   The only means of identification was a card found on his person addressed "G. P. BEACH." "93," and an envelope addressed "Towers," with a return card in one corner from "Principal of Putnam School, Syracuse." The stranger was well-dressed and did not have the appearance of being a tramp.
   It was stated at the hospital last night that the man is in a serious condition. It is thought that his skull is fractured. A paper containing the name "John HOWARD" was pinned to his clothes. His home is in Syracuse.
