REMAINS OF ROBERT IDESON FOUND IN RUINS OF DWELLING
Well Known Resident of Lima Perished in Fire Which Destroyed the Ideson Home -
He Was Alone in the House When the Fire Occurred
Lima, March 29 - This morning, shortly after 1 o'clock, the Fire
Department was called out by a fire, which proved to be the residence of Miss
Hannah IDESON, the first residence west of the village. The fire had such a
start that it was impossible to check it.
Miss IDESON was absent from home and the house was occupied by
Robert IDESON. As he did not appear, although he was seen in the house about 9
o'clock in the evening, it was feared from the first that he had been overcome
by the flames. After a long suspense this fear was verified by the discovery of
his remains in the cellar. Little but the trunk remained.
How the fire originated is not known. It is supposed that Mr.
IDESON was awakened by the fire or smoke and attempted to escape from his
sleeping room, but was killed, by the flames or suffocated. His sleeping room
was in the second story and located directly above the spot where his body was
found in the cellar.
He was about 45 years of age and the youngest son of the late
Robert IDESON. He was a graduate of Genesee Wesleyan Seminary and was a
prominent member of the Lyceum Society while at the (unreadable). He read
(unreadable) practiced. By occupation he was a painter, decorator and paper
hanger, at which business he was an expert. He never married.
He leaves two brothers, Walter G. IDESON, of Lima, and John IDESON,
of Trinidad, Col., and two sisters, Miss Hannah IDESON and Mrs. Henry GARNSEY,
both of Lima.

Second Battalion, Fourth Brigade, N. G. N. Y. Thirty-fourth Separate Company, to
succeed Captain J. George STACEY, resigned, took place at the armory this
evening and resulted in the election of Lieutenant GAS per by a vote of 36 to

it.

the Adjutant General's report for 1904:
"George Ellsworth GASPER, second lieutenant, rank dating from
June 22, 1899. He was a first sergeant in Company B, Third Regiment, New York

BURNING MOUNTAIN A PICTURESQUE SIGHT
Fences and Dead Leaves on East Hill at Dansville Ablaze
Dansville, March 29 - A spectacular fire broke out on East hill
yesterday afternoon and raged furiously until late into the night. Some leaves
and dead grass, which had been thoroughly dried by the warm weather of the past
few weeks, caught fire above the railroad tracks of the Lackawanna, which climbs
the 1,000 foot grade from Groveland to Wayland, and goes through here half way
up the mountain. The fire is presumed to have had its origin from the flying
sparks of some passing engine.
From the dead grass and leaves it quickly spread to a fence and in
an incredibly short time had wrapped in a sheet of flames the fence reaching
from the railroad tracks to the top of the hill. Other fences then caught fire
and by evening there were fully two miles of burning fence, stretching along the
top of the hill, the fire expanding its fiery grasp even beyond the top of the
hill and over on the other side of the mountains, where all that could be seen
of it was its lurid reflection in the sky. Fires usually break out on the
hillside every spring, but this was the worst one that has been seen by
Dansvillians in years.
At one time it looked as if the buildings on the farm belonging to
Postmaster Frank J. McNELL, known as Sky farm, had been surrounded by the fire
and would burn also, but these were saved. A mountain top on fire is not a sight
often seen and the residents of the village stood on the streets until late into
the night watching their burning Vesuvlus(?).

Dansville, March 29 - The funeral of Mrs. Barbara MARK, whose death

the time of her husband's funeral, which she attended, Mrs. MARKS was suffering

LOST INHERITANCE BECAUSE HE DRANK
Edgar Durbon, of Darien, Was Given $1,000 If He Quit the Use of Liquor.
Batavia, March 29 - In Surrogate's Court to-day Judge WASHBURN
rendered a decision in the claim of Edgar DURBON against the estate of his
foster mother, Mrs. Martha I. DURBON, of Darien, who died in 1903. Mrs. DURBON
left an estate of about $1,000 and in her will provided that after applying $50
to the Seventh Day Adventist Church the rest of the property should go to Edgar
DURBON if he could establish the fact that he refrained from the use of liquor
as a beverage for a period of one year prior to her death. If he failed to do so
$50 more was to go to the church and the rest should be divided between Morris
BURR, Ella HARMON, Julia JOHNSON and Ida M. YATES, all residents of Darien.
The will was offered for probate by F. M. ROGERS, the executor, and
DURBIN filed a claim against the estate of $1,325.50 for work done. The executor
rejected the claim and alleged that DURBIN had not complied with the provisions
of the will. Upon a trial of the case DURBIN upon the witness stand admitted
that he drank over a bar, but alleged that he did it because he had a pain
inside. The judge decided that DURBIN had not abstained and that his claim was
partly outlawed and the rest not proven.

CHARLES W. ROBERTS
Death of a Well-Known Resident of Oakfield
Oakfield, March 29 - The many friends of Charles Wolcott ROBERTS
were greatly shocked yesterday morning to learn he had passed away at 12:15,
after an illness of only six days of grip, followed by acute Bright's disease.
He was born in Shelby, Orleans county, April 20, 1835. He married Miss Huldah

USED REVOLVER AS A CLUB
Former Proprietor of Hotel Roma Involved in a Desperate Battle
As a result of a brutal fight Frank La PLACA and Vincenso RANALLI,
were arraigned in police court yesterday, La PLACA was charged with assault in
the second degree, and RANALLI with intoxication. Both men pleaded not guilty,
and the hearings were adjourned until April 3d.
The men were arrested early yesterday morning while engaged in
battle in South avenue, near the former Hotel Room. The hotel is near the canal
bridge. LaPLACA was proprietor of the hotel until the place was closed by the
police. LaPLACA was heavily fined for keeping a disorderly house. Since that
time LaPLACA has been living in a shanty in the rear of the hotel. On Tuesday
afternoon RANALLI visited him. Both men drank. When the fight began RANALLI is
said to have run from the shanty in the direction of South avenue. LaPLACA
pursued him with a revolver in his hand, and catching him, beat him on the head
with the butt of the weapon. Other members of the party ran about the street
crying "murder" and "police." Patrolmen HENNESSEY, DEMLER,
COPENHAGEN and BURGETT answered the cry and placed both combatants under arrest.
LaPLACA is a man of violent temper, according to his countrymen.

IS NOT TO GO TO ENGLAND
Philip Jackson Merely to Send His Wife Away for Ocean Voyage
The report that Philip JACKSON is to go to England and may decide
to remain there is not true. Mr. JACKSON says he has no intention of making the
journey. The report probably gained currency because of the fact that Mrs.
JACKSON is to go to England, in the hope that the ocean voyage will improve her
health. Mrs. JACKSON is ill and the family physician has said that a change is
necessary to restore her health. Mrs. JACKSON is to sail soon and will be
accompanied by her daughter, Ethel. The length of their stay will depend on
circumstances.
If the forthcoming court decision in the WAGAR case makes it
desirable to the prosecution for Ethel JACKSON to return to Rochester, she will
return without delay, said Mr. JACKSON yesterday. No move in the prosecution of
WAGAR that can be made by Mr. JACKSON or any member of his family will be
overlooked.

REMAINS STILL UNIDENTIFIED
No Inquest in Powers Case, Owing to Inability of Railroad Men to be Present.
Contrary to expectation, Coroner KLEINDIENST did not hold an
inquest into the death of "John POWERS of Syracuse" yesterday. The
engineer and fireman of the locomotive that struck "POWERS" near Clyde
were unable to be present.
Two men called at the morgue yesterday and viewed the remains of
the dead man. One of the men said he was William POWERS, of Syracuse, and said
his brother Andrew had been missing from home for several years. He thought the
body might be that of his brother. He could not identify it.
The Coroner answered a number of inquiries by telephone, but no one
seems to be able to give a description of "POWERS."
"POWERS" died in the Homeopathic Hospital from a
fractured skull.

A large and delighted audience assembled at Powers Hall last
evening to hear a concert given by Miss Sophie FERNOW, Mr. Alois TRNKA and Miss

dance by Sm_tana-Ondricek. These afforded a fine exhibition of his remarkable
technic and pure tone. Especially interesting was Beethoven's sonata for plane
and violin, op. 30, played by Miss FERNOW and Mr. TRNKA.
Miss CRAMER received the cordial welcome which always greets her
when she appears in public. She sang a recitive and air from Mosart's "Figaro,"

NOT BECAUSE SHE NEEDS THE MONEY
Woman a Kleptomaniac It Is Charged
Had Stockingful of Bills
Besides Her Cash in Hand, so to Speak, Mrs. Hannah Scully Has
a Bank Account and Owns Real Estate - Detective Searches Room
Hannah SCULLY, or Josie SCULLY, was arrested yesterday afternoon on
a warrant that charged her with petit larceny. The woman was taken into custody
by Detective SHAYNE at No. 244 St. Paul street, where she had made an attempt to
drink a mixture of carbolic acid and landanum. The mixture burned her lips, but
she did not swallow any of it. After Mrs. SCULLY was locked up a large sum was
found in her possession, and it was ascertained that she possesses considerable
means. The woman's condition of mind is said to be a matter to be determined.
A few days ago Mrs. Narcissa BURNETT, a nurse of No. 244 St. Paul
street, caused a search warrant to be issued to recover two skirts and a diamond
pin that she believed were in mrs. SCULLY's possession. Detective SHAYNE and
Mrs. BURNETT went to No. 165 East avenue, where Mrs. SCULLY roomed. The diamond
pin was found, but nothing more. In police court the pin was awarded to Mrs.
BURNETT. Mrs. SCULLY did not appear in the court room, though she was in the
hallway.
On Tuesday Detective SHAYNE continued his prospecting for the
skirts, and eventually he returned to the East avenue house. The house is
occupied by George W. JARVIS, an engineer. The JARVIS family expressed entire
confidence in Mrs. SCULLY. SHAYNE went away. He learned that Mrs. SCULLY had a
relative, and he called on that person. The woman told of Mrs. SCULLY having
given her a sheet, some towels, napkins, a hammer, and other tools. SHAYNE
ascertained that the greater number of these articles had been taken without
permission. He also learned yesterday morning that Mrs. SCULLY had been trying
to dispose of two opal rings in Franklin street, so he determined to search her
room again.
SEVEN RINGS DISCOVERED
Armed with a second search warrant, obtained by Mrs. BURNETT,
the detective went to the JARVIS home. The members of the JARVIS family were
indignant. SHAYNE remarked that he wanted to trace two opal rings. The change in
the demeanor of the JARVISES was marked. Miss May V. JARVIS, a daughter, had
missed an opal ring recently. The search proceeded without further delay. SHAYNE
found a number of articles stowed away. Among these were a silk skirt, a
surgeon's lance, a gold ring, a silk flounce and an apron. The skirt and lance
belonged to Mrs. BURNETT, she said. Further search revealed three silver spoons,
marked "May JARVIS." Seven rings were also recovered, among them the
opal Miss JARVIS had lost. She identified it. Other articles included a gold
chain, a pearl cross, a gold breastpin, a pair of eyeglasses, three pocketbooks,
a hand bag and a bank book.
Mrs. SCULLY, whose home is where she happens to room, was agitated.
The various articles were taken to police headquarters. As no warrant had been
issued, Detective SHAYNE induced Mrs. BURNETT to invite Mrs. SCULLY to dinner,
which invitation was accepted. Mrs. SCULLY then said that she intended to go to
Cleveland at night, and would leave Rochester for all time. To the St. Paul
street house Mrs. BURNETT and Mrs. SCULLY went, and to police headquarters
hurried SHAYNE and Miss JARVIS. Before the warrant had been issued Mrs. SCULLY
and Mrs. BURNETT had reached the latter's room. After dinner Mrs. SCULLY
produced a bottle containing a mixture of carbolic acid and landanum and raised
it to her lips. She did not drink any of the stuff, but merely allowed it to
touch her lips.
MONEY IN HER STOCKING
Detective SHAYNE was notified by telephone of what had happened
and hurried to the St. Paul street house. Once there he placed Mrs. SCULLY under
arrest and took her to headquarters. There she was turned over to the matron.
Mrs. DeSTAEBLER gave her a thorough searching and found $356.20 in one of her
stockings. Most of the money was in $1 and $2 bills. Her bank book indicated
that Mrs. SCULLY has more than $1,000 on deposit in a local bank.
Chief HAYDEN and others at headquarters are of the opinion that
Mrs. SCULLY (line unreadable) of age. Last evening a young woman, accompanied by
a lawyer, called on Chief HAYDEN in the interests of Mrs. SCULLY. They obtained
her release on $50 bail. Her valuables were left in the headquarters safe. The
attorney said that Mrs. SCULLY had some real estate in the city, and that she
was interested in real estate deals now pending which would probably yield her
considerably more money. When she was taken to headquarters she said she did not
have any money and could not furnish bail.
The woman may not be prosecuted. It is likely that she will be
examined and turned over to the custody of relatives.

GEORGE D. FORSYTH, JR., DEAD
Despite Blindness, Was Youth of Promise and Matured Character
The death of George D. FORSYTH, Jr., at the Homeopathic Hospital,
yesterday afternoon was a shock to a tenderly fond family and to a large and
singularly close-knit circle of acquaintances. An operation for appendicitis,
with every indication of success, had left the patient resting comfortably
Tuesday night. Not until 10 o'clock yesterday morning did the pulse and
temperature manifestations warn the father at the bedside to prepare for the
worst.
The young man's blindness was counterbalanced by mental gifts, his
studious life and a most happy nature that won friends everywhere. An ill word
of another was a thing unknown to the boy's lips. This felicitous character, and
a singular skill in making his way, unassisted, to any part of Rochester, often
led to people not realizing his blindness, nor was he the one tp remind bearers
of it, unless by a jesting reference.
All the time the former district-attorney could give from his
profession was devoted to the (line unreadable) young man's studies at the State
School for the Blind, at Batavia, were successful to an unusual degree. He was
destined to take up his father's practice after graduation from college, and was
thus thought of always in the home. His skill as a pianist and vogue as an
entertainer with the young folk, besides general physical endowments marking
him, despite his affliction, as a strong man, contribute to make the death of
George D. FORSYTH, Jr., the greater shock to his friends.
The funeral will take place from the Atkinson street residence of
the family at 2 o'clock, Friday afternoon. The services will be conducted by
Rev. Dr. W. R. TAYLOR, the young man having been a regular attendant of Brick
Church. Interment will be at Riverside cemetery.
