Churchville, Aug. 9, — This community was shocked last evening by the sudden death of Hugh GARRIGHAN, at his home
on West Buffalo street. Mr. GARRIGHAN was born in Churchville, July 7th 1862, and Churchville had since been his
home. He suffered greatly with heart trouble and asthma since a child. He was for sometime in the employ of the
old firm of Stone & Briscoe. Twenty-five years ago he secured employment with the West Shore Railroad at this
point as crossing flagman at Main street and several years later was transferred to Buffalo street crossing, which
position he held at the time of his death.
Last evening after returning home from duty at the crossing, he exhibited signs of extreme weakness and sat down
to rest on the back porch at his father's home. It was noticed by members of the family that he was worse than
usual and a physician was summoned, but to no avail, as he expired almost immediately. He was well known here and
leaves many friends. He also found favor with numerous railroad men, with whom many years of faithful service brought
him daily in contact.
Of his immediate relatives there remains an aged father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. William GARRIGHAN; one sister,
Mrs. Mary TURNER, of Churchville, and five brothers, John GARRIGHAN, of Haverstraw, N. Y.; William GARRIGHAN, of

DEATH OF JOHN STRONG BROWN
A Native of the City of Rochester
His Father the First Physician
His Mother was the First School Teacher Rochester Ever Had
He moved to Spencerport About a Year Ago
Was Highly Esteemed.
Spencerport, Aug. 19 - The death of John Strong BROWN occurred
at 12:30 o'clock this morning at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Frank
GOFF, just south of this village. Death came in consequence of a stroke
of paralysis which he suffered some years ago. Mr. BROWN was one of the
best known and most prominent citizen of the town. He was a man of the
most upright character, a very pleasant personality, and was esteemed for the
kindness of his heart and his generosity in contributing to religious and
charitable undertakins.
Mr. BROWN was born in Rochester on November 1, 1821,
being thus 84 years of age at the time of his death. His father was the
late Dr. Jonas BROWN, who was born in Hillsdale, NY May 1, 1789, and after
graduating as a physician came to Rochester and was the first person to
practice medicine in that city. Dr. BROWN married Huldah STRONG April
18, 1816. The latter was the first school teacher Rochester had.
Both Dr. BROWN and his wife came from sturdy old New England stock and both
could trace their ancestry back the to the Mayflower.
When about three years of age, John Strong BROWN
accompanied his family to Morgan, Ashtabula county, Ohio, but in 1834 they
returned to Rochester, where John was reared and educated. On February
13, 1844, he was married to Caroline LEWIS, of Rochester. He went into
the boot and shoe business with the late John MORRISON, but not long afterward
moved to a farm in Ogden, then to Spencerport.
Twenty eight years ago he moved back to Rochester,
where he resided on Franklin Square. Mr. BROWN had nine children, only
two of whom are now living, these being John Vanderpool BROWN, of Chicago,
Ill., and Mrs. Frank GOFF, of this village. His wife died about ten
years ago. His sister, Mrs. George W. PEER, who was a resident of
Rochester the greater part of her life, died in 1902.
Mr. BROWN during this period when he lived in
Rochester, was for a great many years a member of the First Methodist Church.
He returned to Spencerport near a year ago, and has since been a member of the
Methodist Episcopal Church here. He always took a great interest in the
work of the churches, and even when in Rochester he extended very material
assistance to the church here.
For a man of his years, Mr. BROWN was remarkably
vigorous and strong, both mentally and physically, until about eight weeks
ago, when he was prostrated by a paralytic stroke. Since then he has
lain in an unconscious condition the greater part of the time, with no hope of
recovery. His death last night was not unexpected. It is
understood that Mr. BROWN left a large estate.

Much Fruit Blown from Trees -- End of Barn Blown In
Bergen, Aug. 20 -- A violent wind, accompanied by
rain, hail, thunder and lightning, did considerable damage yesterday
afternoon on the farms of George W. HILL, Mrs. Mary DELLES, T. D. COUCH and
David MILLER, on the Lake road, north of this village. The wind came from
the southeast and its track was about a mile wide. A large number of apple
trees on the farms named were blown down and the ground was covered with
apples from the standing trees. Corn was leveled with the ground and large
oaks and elms were prostrated.
The veranda of the MILLER house was blown down, the east gable and of the
barn was blown in and a part of the roof was taken off. A milk house on the
COUCH farm was unroofed and the building tipped over. The wind lasted less
than five minutes.
The same afternoon lightning struck the barn of E. D. SNYDER, just north of
the village, ripping off shingles and boards. Much damage was done to the
Bergen Telephone Company's lines and instruments by the lightning.

SAY IZZO IS IN IRONDEQUOIT
Another Story Circulated Concerning Whereabouts of Fugitive
Another story was circulated yesterday concerning the
whereabouts of Joseph IZZO, wanted for keeping a disorderly house, and
sentenced to serve a year in the penitentiary as well as to pay a fine of
$350. It is to the effect that he was seen recently and recognized to the
town off Irondequoit, garbed in the attire of a farm laborer. When the
papers for his arrest were made out a few weeks ago, officers made a
diligent search in Charlotte and neighboring districts, without success.
It is said that three Italians have lately been searching
for him and that a watch is being kept upon his house in this city.

TO RECEIVE AT LEAST TWO BIDS
Eastern Monroe Company Will Surely Enter Into Lighting Competition
There seems to be but little doubt that at least
two bids for the lighting of the city will be submitted to the Board of
Contract and Supply to-morrow morning. The Mayor seems confident that more
than two proposals will be received.
No one doubts that the Rochester Railway and Light
Company will be in the contest, and according to the statement made late
yesterday afternoon by Clarence E. SHUSTER, secretary of the Eastern Monroe
Lighting Company, his company will submit proposals.
The Niagara Power Companies have been furnished with
bidding sheets, although but little is expected from them in the way of
competition. The Board of Contract and Supply will also open bids for the
following contracts: Wolcott street sprinkling, Westminster road sprinkling,
Ebner street sprinkling, Augusta street sprinkling, Clinton avenue south
sprinkling, Hartford street sprinkling, Hoffner street cement walks,
Bradford street cement walks, Daisy street sewer, Home place macadam
pavement, Home place Mack block pavement, Home place Johnsonburg block

GERMANS PLAN A BIG FESTIVAL
Dr. Richards of New York To Be Speaker
German Day Next Year Perhaps
Bund Will Conduct Festival in True German style --
The Officers Form the Committee --
Place and Exact Time Not Yet Decided Upon.
Although Rochester is not to have a genuine German Day
this year, the German-American Bund promises a first-class German festival.
The exact date has not yet been set, but it will probably be held some time
in October. It will last but one day and evening and will be held in the
largest suitable hall obtainable.
The bund met last evening in Macnnerchor hall, Main and
Swan streets. The question of holding a German Day came up and, while some
favored the suggestion, the majority of members present were of the opinion
that it was too late to make the necessary arrangements this year, and a
festival was decided on instead. It is expected that the society will hold a
German Day next year.
No definite plans were made last night for the festival,
but the officers of the society were selected as a committee to meet and
discuss the matter and make all necessary plans. It is said that all German
societies in Rochester and vicinity, whether members of the central bund or
not, will be invited to participate.
About seventy-five members were present last night
and Second Vice-President M. WOLLENHAUPT presided. Secretary Joseph REUTER
read the minutes of the last meeting and Carl DANNHAUSER gave a report of
the trip to the Buffalo German Day, which was held about August 1st. The
corresponding secretary, William SCHARVOGEL, was instructed to send a note
of thanks to the Buffalo German-American Bund for the manner in which the
Rochester delegates were entertained.
A circular is to be sent to every German society in
Rochester and vicinity not now a member, asking them to send
delegates to the next meeting of the bund, which is to be held September
10th. Joseph REUTER was appointed as speaker to explain the purpose of the
bund.
Ferdinand TEUTE spoke on German days and German
festivals, and John MEINHARDT made the motion to hold a German festival. It
was also said that Dr. M. RICHARD, president of the Peace Society in New
York city, and a professor at Columbia university, would be the principal
speaker at the festival and that he would talk on arbitration between
Germany and the United States.

DEATH OF MRS. MARIA L. FAY
Decedent Was of Colonial Stock, and Had Lived Many Years in Rochester.
Mrs. Maria L. FAY, widow of Hon. John D. FAY,
died yesterday evening at the family residence, No. 64 South Washington
street.
Mrs. FAY was born in Cayuga county, N. Y., April
14, 1824. She was the youngest daughter of Colonel William H. NOBLE,
who was a member of the twenty-fifth Congress. She came of colonial stock;
her ancestor, Thomas NOBLE, came from England to Massachusetts in 1632,
and was one of the founders of Springfield and later of Westfield. Her
great-grandfather, Lieutenant Zadock NOBLE, of Connecticut, was in the
continental service.
In October, 1845, the decedent married John D. FAY
oldest son of Hon. John FAY, who had filled many important positions, among
them that of member of Congress during President ANDREW JACKSON's
administration. Mrs. FAY accompanied her husband when in 1850 he and William
CHILDS were sent by Commodore VANDERBILT at the head of a surveying party to Nicaraugua,
to make a survey for the proposed canal.
Except for the year and a half her husband was in
Nicaraugua and a few years in Albany, when her husband was division engineer
and canal commissioner. Mrs. FAY'S married life was passed in Rochester, and
she lived for nearly fifty years in the house where she died. Early in life
she joined St. Luke's Episcopal Church. She leaves her youngest child,
Stephen Clark FAY and a grandson, Sumner Doane FAY.

FEDERAL CIVIL SERVICE TESTS
Examinations to be Held for Positions in Government Service
United States civil service examinations will be
held September 12th and 13th to obtain eligibles for the position of aid in
the coast and geodetic survey at $720 a year. Appointments to the rank of
deck officer at a salary of $900 a year are to be made from the eligible
list obtained by this examination.
Owing to the low salary attached to the position of
assistant photographer in the geological survey service, it is probable that
the list of eligibles will not be largely increased by the civil service
test for that office, September 19th. The salary is $480.
In the reclamation service of the geological
survey, $150 to $350 a month will be paid for construction engineers,
for which the test for eligibles will be held October 1st. Difficulty in
securing candidates in this work is experienced on account of its being in
the West far from civilization.
Eligibles for economic botanist and mycologist
in the Philippine Islands service will be obtained in the test to be held
September 19th. The salary attached is $1,400 a year.

WARREN'S BILL STILL HELD UP
Board of Supervisors Has Taken No Action Up to This Time
The bill for services of former County Attorney
Arthur WARREN, which was some time ago referred to the Law Committee of the
Board of Supervisors, still remains unpaid and no recommendation has
been made concerning its disposition. Mr. WARREN'S bill for June was $225
and it will probably be the same for July and August, although he has not
submitted a bill since June. It is thought that he is delaying this until it
is ascertained what action the board will take upon the previous bill for
services.
The next regular meeting of the board is scheduled
for August 30th, when all of the standing committees will prepare reports.
As September 3d is Labor Day, the board will probably adjourn from the
first to the fourth of the month, to avoid holding session on the holiday.

DROWNED BENEATH RIVER BRIDGE
Young Italian Who Couldn't Swim Stepped into Hole
Lerito GIZZI, an Italian, 22 years old, of No.
152 Jones street, was drowned in the river under the Platt street bridge
yesterday afternoon. The young man was unable to swim. Coroner KLEINDIENST
will continue an investigation of the drowning to-day.
GIZZI and several friends went to the river to
bathe. GRIZZI did not venture far from the west channel at first. He
became bolder the longer he was in the water, and at length struck out
toward the middle of the river. Suddenly he sank into a hole between the
two piers, and cried out for help. He struggled and sank.
The cries of the man were heard by his
companions, none of whom could swim, and men at work in the shops near-by.
Joseph DONOVAN, engineer at power house No. 2 hurried to the bank. He
stripped off some of his clothes and dived into the water. In a short time
he found the body who brought it to the surface. The body was carried to
the Platt street bridge, where every effort was made to resuscitate GIZZI.
A hurry call was sent to St. Mary's Hospital, and the ambulance responded.
The young man was dead, however, and all efforts were unavailing.
Coroner KLEINDIENST directed the removal of the
remains to the morgue. Before the wagon arrived a large crowd assembled at
the bridge. One of the patrol wagons and policemen were summoned to
maintain order, so great was the crowd.

PRISONER FREED ON HABEAS CORPUS WRIT
Committed Illegally, His Lawyer Argues
Thomas GIRVIN walked out of the county jail
yesterday afternoon a free man, and was greeted by his attorney, Isaac M.
BRICKNER, whose efforts in GIRVIN's behalf were at last successful. GIRVIN
was committed to jail by order of Police Justice CHADSEY, and was released
on a writ of habeas corpus signed by Special County Judge STEPHENS late
yesterday afternoon.
Mr. BRICKNER argued for the release of his client
on the ground that his case had already been investigated by the May Grand
Jury, which refused to indict, claiming insufficient evidence. The man was
charged with criminal assault upon a 13-year-old girl. The point raised by
the defense was that since a Grand Jury had found no indictment, the man
could not be held as a prisoner on the charge, and that his case could not
be resubmitted to the Grand Jury without a Supreme Court order.
About two weeks ago complaint was made by the
girl's mother in police court and Justice CHADSEY heard the testimony of a
physician, who examined the girl in the case three months and a half after
the date of the alleged assault. Justice CHADSEY held the man for the
Grand Jury, but Mr. BRICKNER argued before Judge STEPHENS that the case
was entirely out of the jurisdiction of Justice CHADSEY and had been since
the May Grand Jury refused to indict.
Judge STEPHENS took the papers and reserved his
decision, but within an hour consented to grant the writ.

AN ORIGINAL CURE
Charleston News and Courier
A party of men were discussing the passing of the
old-time country doctor before the advance of modern science, and one of
them told some stories of a practitioner of this type who was the terror
of his boyhood days.
"He was a curious old autocrat, with curative
methods all his own," said the gentleman. "I remember once a boy
chum of mine became afflicted with a large swelling or abscess in his
throat, which was growing rapidly and threatening to make breathing
impossible.
"Dr. X____ was called in. After examination
of the patient, he turned to the mother with the command to bring him a
red hot poker. As he was never questioned or disobeyed, the woman hastened
to heat one in the kitchen fire.
"When she brought it to the sick room the
doctor grabbed it and advanced to the bedside with the gleaming point
levelled at the boy's head.
"Open your mouth, sir!" he commanded.
"The boy did open his mouth to emit a
terrified shriek which broke the abscess and saved his life."

WELL PRESERVED AT NINETY YEARS
Birthday of Mrs. Armstrong of Wolcott
First Saw Village 76 Years Ago
Mrs. Armstrong is a daughter of Jeremiah Peck, Who Settled in Butler in
1828
She Lived for Many Years on Armstrong Hill
Wolcott, Aug. 22 - Mrs. Caroline ARMSTRONG
to-day celebrated her 90th birthday at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Harlow COLE, with whom she has resided for several years.
Mrs. ARMSTRONG was born August 22, 1816, at
West Winfield, Columbia county. Her father, Jeremiah PECK, came from
Saratoga county and settled in what is now the town of Butler in 1826.
He remained in this section until 1836, when he left for Michigan. In
the meantime his daughter had married Allen ARMSTRONG, in 1835, and they
took up their residence on what is now the John PHILLIPS estate.
Here they resided until 1866, when, upon the
death of Mr. ARMSTRONG'S father, they took up their residence at the old
homestead on the top of what has long been known as "ARMSTRONG'S
HILL." This is the highest elevation in the town of Butler, and
from its top Lake Ontario can be plainly seen many miles in the
distance. This hill was notable as a meeting place for the Democratic
men of influence during the pioneer days, as Thomas ARMSTRONG was for
many years a Member of Assembly and State Senator.
Syracuse was then the nearest place of
importance and Mr. ARMSTRONG made his trips to the political conventions
by means of the packet boats on the Erie canal.
Mrs. ARMSTRONG's faculties are remarkably well
preserved for a woman of her age, being able to read easily, and she has
a remarkable memory, both for current events and things long past. She
reads the newspapers and is well posted on all matters of importance.
She is wonderfully bright and active and is able to attend to many
household duties with the ease of a much younger person.
She has many interesting recollections of
matters that are now ancient history in this section. She recalls
distinctly going to Wolcott village when a girl but fourteen years of
age. She accompanied her father who went there to get his horses shod.
The shop was run by CRANE & KNAPP and stood on the east side of the
creek opposite J. S. TYRRELL's present home.
The main street of Wolcott was then lined with
a few old wooden buildings and the present Wolcott's house was an old
one-story wooden building. The two most beautiful residences were the
UNDERHILL house, which stood on Mill street on the site of the present
Walter MARONEY house, and the BENEDICT house, across the creek.
Mrs. ARMSTRONG is probably the only person now
living who was present at the dedication of a Universalist stone church
which stood on New Hartford street. This church long ago passed out of
existence and many of the younger generation scarcely known that such a
denomination ever existed here.
Mrs. ARMSTRONG's father was a carpenter of
splendid ability and in the early days kept on hand plenty of well cured
black cherry lumber and when a settler died he made his coffin. A hearse
was unknown and the body drawn to the place of burial by a yoke of oxen.
Mrs. ARMSTRONG was accustomed to make the burial robes.

DEATH OF AN OLD MASON OF LIMA
Ambrose Hyde, Last Surviving Member of the Lima Band
Lima, Aug. 22 - The body of Ambrose HYDE
reached town yesterday, sent here from Utica for burial. Mr. HYDE died
at the Masonic Home in Utica on Monday, at the age of 94 years. With one
exception, he was the oldest resident of this town. He was born in
Chenango county, December 31, 1912. While quite young he moved to
Lakeville, Livingston county, coming to this town a few years later, and
he lived here over sixty years. His wife, formerly Miss Mary Jane
PHELPS, of this town, died in 1889.
For many years he followed the business of
carpenter and builder and helped to erect many buildings in Lima and
vicinity. He later engaged in the fire insurance business, following
that for about twenty-five years. In 1864 he became a member of the
Masonic Lodge of Lima and had held the offices of master and treasurer
in that body. He was justice of the peace for twenty years and also held
the office of town clerk for a long term.
He was the last member of the famous Lima Band,
in existence during the 40's and was one of the original members of the

BLACK WALNUT FOR EXPORT PURPOSES
A large Quantity Has Been Cut at Geneseo
Geneseo, Aug. 22 - An immense quantity of black
walnut has lately been collected at Geneseo and now lays piled at one
side of the Erie depot, the wood having been secured by agents of H. A.
SCHLIENTZ, of Detroit, who intends to export it. This material is sent
to Hamburg, Germany, where it is made into cabinet work, furniture and
other articles, that country still regarding black walnut as fashionable
for the drawing room. In America, however, the sale is not so good, the
demand now being for quartered oak and mahogany.
Mr. SCHLIENTZ conducts an extensive business,
having a large force of men with him to cut down and draw such trees as
he purchases; and has been buying in other parts of this state as well
as in Kansas, Illinois and Ohio.
The Genesee Valley is located in a natural
black walnut belt, where trees of that species reach a degree of
perfection attained in only a few places. The belt extends west as far
as the west side of the valley, south about as far as Wayland and east
to Cayuga county.
Mr. SCHLIENTZ states that some of his finest
logs have come from the locality of Seneca and Cayuga lakes. His present
operations at Geneseo are not his first experience in this section, a
great deal of the fine Genesee Valley black walnut having been sent
abroad by him on other occasions.

LECTURE GIVEN BY DR. CHAS. H. MEADE
Spoke at Keuka Park Before Young Ladies
Penn Yan, Aug. 22 - Tuesday evening's session
at the Y. W. C. T. U. encampment at Keuka Park consisted of a lecture
by Rev. C. H. MEADE, of New York, who presented the temperance
question from the standpoint of a Prohibitionist, taking for his
subject "Wanted -- A Man." In introducing him, Mrs. Effie
LAMBERT, the "Y" secretary, suggested that she thought the
subject might be of special interest to the young ladies of the
encampment, Dr. MEADE was both witty and eloquent.
Mr. and Mrs. SUTPHEN, of Keuka Park, added
not a little to the enjoyment of the evening by their rendering of
several songs, "O, Song of the Jubilee, "The Old. Old
Bell" and "Beautiful City of Love." In the latter they
were assisted by Dr. MEADE, the author of the verses, which were
written in memory of his mother.
Dr. FRY was present to meet his class in
Bible study. He occupied his hour by explaining the origin and scope
of the Septuagent and Talmud.
The school of methods met down by the lake
this forenoon, the weather being so oppressive, and this innovation
proved pleasing to all. The following committee on athletics was
elected to serve during the coming year: William B. CHURCH, of South
Glen's Falls; Mrs. Cora LASHER, of Canandaigua O. O. A., and Miss

GENESEE
Resignation of Le Roy's Street Commissioner Received
Le Roy, Aug. 22 - James GAYTON, who has held
the office of street commissioner for several years, has notified
Mayor HUYCK that he will not act in that capacity after Saturday
night. This will necessitate the appointment of another street

resign. Mr. GAYTON wanted extra pay when he was called to superintend

HIT MAN WITH SLEDGE HAMMER
Angry Italian Severely Injured Fellow Workman
John GROSS, a blacksmith employed by the
Pfaudler company at Lincoln Park, was severely injured yesterday
morning by a fellow employee, an Italian named Ben PANACCI, who used a
sledge hammer on GROSS. GROSS was taken to the City Hospital. PANACCI
got away, but the police and sheriff are looking for him.
PANACCI was GROSS'S assistant and the two men
had not been on good terms for some time, although GROSS usually
ignored PANACCI whenever he showed signs of anger. None of the
employees knew just how the quarrel started yesterday morning, but
several saw PANACCI raise a large sledge hammer, with which he was
beating the iron which GROSS held, and strike GROSS with it.
The hammer caught GROSS near the left
shoulder and he fell to the ground. The Italian struck him on the leg,
then jumped through a window and escaped. PANACCI lives in Oak street.
His house is being watched.

ARREST WOMAN WITH HUSBAND
Police Called In On Mysterious Assault Case
Another Man Involved
Husband Finds Stranger In Hack with His Wife
Chases Them in Motor Car
Says He Beat Unknown, but Fails to Explain How Cut Comes in the Forehead
of Wife -
Woman Taken on a Charge of Intoxication.
Lively Time in Pearl Street
Jules D. RILEY, who says he lives in New York
and is a traveling salesman, was arrested late yesterday afternoon at
No. 99 Pearl street on a charge of assault in the second degree on Mrs.
Adelaide RILEY, his wife, by "striking her on the head with a
dangerous weapon." It is alleged that RILEY inflicted a cut an inch
long over her right eye. Mrs. RILEY was arrested on a charge of
intoxication and was taken to headquarters at the same time her husband
was arrested. RILEY was bailed out, $500 security being left for his
appearance in police court. His wife spent the night with the matron.
RILEY tells a complicated story of what led up
to his arrest. In it he neglects to explain his arrest on an assault
charge and he does not account for the injury to his wife. It is said he
found her in a hack with another man and, after trouncing the stranger
turned on her.
When approached last night with a question
regarding his relation to the case, he said he was Mr. RILEY, the
husband "of the woman." He said he was a traveling man with a
home in New York. He was in Buffalo yesterday morning, he said, and he
received a telephone message from a friend that his wife, who had
been visiting in this city, had been seen on the street in a condition
apparently brought on by the use of intoxicating liquors. His informant,
whose name he did not give, told him that the people with whom his wife
was visiting drank and it was possible she had been drinking, too.
TIP ON WIFE'S WHEREABOUTS
RILEY told this person that he would come down
and investigate. He reached Rochester yesterday afternoon, he said, and
while going to the home of the people with whom his wife was staying he
met a friend.
"I just met your wife," RILEY quoted
his friend as having said:
"Is that so? With the people she is
visiting?" he said he replied.
"No." In a carriage with a man
I didn't know."
RILEY announced his intention to find his wife
and the stranger and boarded a car. Te<sic> says it was a Lyell
avenue car, but indications are that he was mistaken. It is said it was
a Monroe avenue car. He says he looked from the windows continually in
the hope that he would see the carriage containing his wife and the man.
He was finally rewarded with sight of a hack, which was coming toward
him.
He jumped from the moving car and pursued the
carriage on foot, running up the middle of the road. It is evident that
the hackman did not know that he was being followed, for he made no
effort to get away. RILEY finally got within half a block of the hack
and then he called to the driver to halt. The driver whipped up his
horses and was rapidly distancing the husband, when RILEY met a man in
an automobile and persuaded him to turn his machine about and give
chase.
AUTOMOBILE CAUGHT HACK
Then began the real race. The automobile was
alongside the hack in a few seconds and RILEY was preparing to enter it
when the man reached through the window in the door and caught him a
clip back of the ear. RILEY would have fallen had he not been grasping
the carriage door. He reached inside, grabbed the stranger, pulled him
out of the carriage and beat him. RILEY says he punched the fellow,
knocked him down, continued to punish him while he was on the ground and
added a few kicks for good measure. While he was giving the stranger
what he thought to be the unknown's just deserts, RILEY's wife was
hanging to his arm.
RILEY turned for a moment from the prostrate
stranger and the man jumped to his feet and ran. RILEY started after
him. He chased the man about two blocks, he says, and then he thought of
his wife. Turning around he saw her running in the opposite direction.
He abandoned the chase of the unknown and started after his wife. He
caught her, he says, and put her back in the carriage. He says he asked
a bystander to call a policeman and when the officer arrived, he says,
his wife was arrested on an intoxication charge.
This story is not true, for the arrest was made
in Pearl street after RILEY's wife had fled into a house to elude him.
RILEY closed his recital of what had occurred
by telling something of his private history. He had been married seven
years, he said, during which time he had no trouble with his wife. They
had no children. His wife, he said, never drank until she came here. He
says his wife met the unknown through the friends with whom she was
visiting here. He does not know the man's name but says he knows who he
is, and he can get him any time. RILEY says he was down from Buffalo
Sunday to visit his wife.
THIS IS THE OTHER STORY
The other story of RILEY'S troubles does not go
as fully into detail. The allegation is that RILEY was on a Monroe
avenue car when he saw his wife in a carriage with this unknown man. It
is alleged that he caught up with them and beat the stranger, as RILEY
himself says he did, and that when the man ran away, RILEY jumped into
the back with his wife and drove through Averill avenue or Alexander
street to Pearl street. He turned toward Meigs street in Pearl.
After they reached that point, their program is
best told in the words of residents of that section of the city, who
were called to their front doors by the screams of the woman as the hack
proceeded through Pearl street. The driver pulled his horses to a stop
as the hack was almost opposite No. 99 Pearl street and it was quickly
surrounded by men, women and children.
The door opened and a woman covered with blood
jumped to the sidewalk. She half-ran, half fell up the terrace leading
to the house, and a man followed and grabbed her. She was thrown to the
ground. She regained her feet and ran up the steps of the house at No.
99, crying:
"He is trying to kill me!"
PUSHED HER WAY INTO HOUSE
She stood for a moment on the stoop, then
pushed her way past the woman of the house, who had been attracted to
the door. She was Mrs. RILEY. The man, it is said, was her husband. The
woman who lives there, who believes that she has already been subjected
to too much publicity, assisted Mrs. RILEY to the wash room. Mrs. RILEY
was aided in making herself presentable. Her gown of white was stained
with blood. Her hat and bag she left behind, with her money, in the
hack.
She begged that the front door be locked, that
her husband could not follow her into the house. A telephone call was
sent for an ambulance. The first hospital called up said it could not
take the case, as it was out of its district. The City Hospital accepted
the call. A call was also sent for the police. Patrolman VAN AUKER was
sent over from the third precinct station by Captain William STEIN.
"Then," quoting one of the family,
"the husband started looking for her. He went to the house next
door and did not find her, so he came here. My daughter went to the door
and told him she did not know where the woman was. Later we thought if
the man was her husband and would take her away, he had better be
allowed to take her.
"While the ambulance surgeon was attending
to her she begged the doctor to go and see if the other man was hurt.
The doctor told her that was not his business. It was a job, he said,
for the police. She seemed to care more for the other fellow than she
did for her husband.
SOMETHING LOST ON LAWN
"When the police arrived the husband came.
The husband was looking out on the lawn for something and later the
policeman was looking for it. I think it was what they call a billy, for
I heard the word mentioned. When the woman left the house she asked
whether he took it out with him, and I suppose she meant the billy,
too."
The thing that seemed to point out a
misstatement by RILEY regarding his home is the report made by the City
Hospital, which reported the hurry call as follows:
"Mrs. J. D. RILEY, of No. 5 Alliance
avenue, sustained an injury to her forehead, just above the eye, at No.
99 Pearl street at 4:30 o'clock."
Jules D. RILEY is a name which does not appear
in the directory. It is possible that No. 5 Alliance avenue, the address
was given as a blind, for the blue book does not contain such a number.
The case is likely to be cleared up in police court this morning. In the
meantime, people up Pearl street way are wondering what it was all
about.
The New York representative of the Democrat and
Chronicle says there is no Jules D. RILEY in the New York or Brooklyn
directories.
When seen at police headquarters last night,
RILEY wore a light brown suit of clothes and a straw hat. He had blood
on his collar and clothing, and the collar was badly wilted. He appeared
undisturbed by what had occurred and waited in the corridor until a
friend was ready to leave, when they drove away in a motor car.

ENVIED THE WASPS
While on a visit to the country with his
mother a few days ago a little Philadelphia boy saw a large number of
wasps industriously flying hither and thither and settling along the
bank of a ditch.
"Mamma," remarked the youngster,
after watching them for a while, "what are those wasps
doing?"
"They are gathering mud to build their
houses," answered the fond mother, going into lengthy explanation
of how the work was done.
Little Willie thoughtfully communed with
himself as he continued to watch the wasps, and finally, becoming
possessed of a happy idea, looked up and said:
"Say, mamma, I wish our home was built
of mud."
"Why, Willie!" exclaimed the astonished
mother. "What makes you wish that?"
"Because I could go in the house once in
a while then," replied the boy, "without having everybody
yelling at me to wipe my feet."

SHARPE WITNESS IN OWN BEHALF
Admits That He Called Inspector A Skunk
Four Drinks In Past Ten Years
Traffic Squad Man Offers $1,000 to Man Who Will Prove that He Was
Drunk --
Hearing Before Commissioner Adjourned to To-morrow
Archie SHARPE, the traffic squad patrolman on trial
before Commissioner GILMAN on a charge of conduct unbecoming an
officer, was sworn yesterday in his own defense. He was the last
witness of the morning's session, which opened at 10 o'clock and
closed to reopen Friday, afternoon at 2 o'clock. All the evidence put
in was for the defense, the complainant, a Rochester Railway Company
inspector, having closed his case on Tuesday.
SHARPE said he had been on the force seven
years and eight months. He had obtained permission to go to Island
Cottage on the Saturday night before the trouble occurred, to make
arrangements for an outing for his mother and sister. He was there
until he took the car next night for Charlotte and transferred to the
Rochester car. He had not taken a drink that day, he said, nor had he
had more than three or four in ten years.
"There was no trouble," said
SHARPE, "until we arrived at the Ridge road. Then there appeared
to be a free fight. SEABRY stood at the front of the car and yelled to
Officer O'NEILL to put the men off. I told him to wait and see if they
had not paid their fares."
At this, witness said, SEABRY turned on him
and said: "I know who you are; you mind your own business."
SHARPE said that he replied: "Yes, and I know who you are: you're
the fellow they call the skunk." He said that several of the
statements made in the charges against him were utterly false.
"So far as being intoxicated," said
SHARPE, referring to one of the allegations. "I'll give anyone
$1,000 that can show that I was ever drunk."
NO DISPUTE OVER FARE
"Did anyone say anything to you about
not paying your fare"" asked M. RAINES.
"No. The first I heard of it was in the
Chief's office."

DEPUTIES RAID ROBBERS' ROOST
Find Stolen Horse, Property of a Wayne County Farmer
Deputy Sheriff HAWLEY and assistants went to
the Robbers' Roost in Brighton yesterday, a mile southeast of the
Rochester State Hospital, and there found evidence that the shack
formerly occupied by the gang which gave the section its name had been
occupied recently. There was sufficient food stored away to keep a
number of men several days. Incidentally, the deputies found a stolen
horse and wagon.
Israel CHENEY, a Wayne county farmer, asked
Mr. HAWLEY to assist him in finding the animal, which was seen last on
the Westfall road in Brighton. Mr. HAWLEY was certain that he could
locate the horse and rig without loss of time, and his impressions
proved to be right.
Quantities of harness and other loot were
found in the shack, which will probably be burned to the ground, as it
furnishes a rendezvous for thieves. The locality is idea: for the
concealment of a gang of such men. It consists of twenty acres of
dense, swampy undergrowth.

BUSY ALARM CLOCK KEPT WOMAN MOVING
Caused Her to Be Thrown Out of Three Places
Katherine CALLAHAN and her alarm clock
caused a lot of trouble last night. In three different localities
the woman camped out, and just as she became wrapped in slumber the
clock would ring out an alarm. The residence of the localities where
she camped tossed her out, and finally Patrolman OTTO arrested her
for humanity's sake. She was locked up on a charge of vagrancy.
Mrs. CALLAHAN is an old timer. She has been
arrested a number of times for intoxication and other things. Last
night she had been drinking. With her alarm clock, she lay down in a
yard in Kelly street. The clock rang out, and the owner of the
premises investigated. He found the woman and ejected her.
Grabbing her clock, the woman journeyed to
Chatham street. She lay in a shed. The clock rang out ten minutes
afterward, and its music awakened the occupants. They removed the
CALLAHAN person.
To Hyde park the woman wandered and before
she had got fairly well to sleep under a hedge the clock began to
sputter again. For the third time she was tossed into the street.
While she was on her way into Cumberland
street Patrolman OTTO saw her. Woman and clock were sent to
headquarters. The clock kept them all busy at headquarters until 3
o'clock this morning, when it ran down.

HUSBAND BLAMES A BUFFALO MAN
Says His Wife Is Victim Of Drink Habit
Just Released From Asylum
Jules Riley Declares That He will Never Live With His Wife Again,
but Will see Her Through Incident of Wednesday -- Whipped
Buffalonian
Jules D. RILEY was arraigned in police
court yesterday, charged with assault in the second degree upon his
wife, Adelaide RILEY. The woman was in St. Mary's Hospital and
unable to appear. RILEY was admitted to bail in the sum of $500. His
hearing was adjourned until September 13th. The police do not
believe there will be an appearance.
RILEY was arrested Wednesday night, after he had
administered a beating to his wife and to her male companion, said
to be William Warren SPENCE, of Buffalo. RILEY explained his
appearance in Rochester in police court yesterday. He said his wife
was a good woman, but was fond of liquor. He said SPENCE had
persisted in showing his wife attentions, and that more than a year
ago he had caught the two together. He drew a revolver, and upon
SPENCE's promise to keep away from Mrs. RILEY he let SPENCE go.
On Wednesday, RILEY said, he learned that
his wife was with SPENCE in Rochester. He came here and soon got on
the trail. The battle in the hack resulted. He said his wife never
drank unless SPENCE induced her to do so. He said he had no
intention of striking his wife, but that she had tried to prevent
him from striking SPENCE and in the struggle she was accidentally
struck above the eye.
RILEY said his wife had recently been in an
asylum at Canandaigua, where she had been treated for the drink
habit. Upon her release from the institution, two weeks ago, she
came to this city and went to live at No. 5 Alliance avenue. How
SPENCE knew of Mrs. RILEY's movements RILEY did not say. At all
events, he came here from Buffalo and damaged to get her to
leave the house in Alliance avenue and meet him in Lain street near
the Powers Hotel. SPENCE, RILEY said, lives in Buffalo and travels
for the Yellow Poplar Lumber Company, of Coalgrove, O. RILEY travels
for a New York concern, and he said he had not been home in two
weeks. When he lived in Buffalo SPENCE stopped at the same house.
There the three became acquainted. RILEY said that SPENCE fairly
forced his attention upon Mrs. RILEY.
RILEY said he was told that his wife was
with SPENCE when he reached the Alliance street house Wednesday
afternoon. He said he did not want to make a scene at the Powers
Hotel or in the business section of the city, so he merely kept
track of events while his wife and SPENCE were together. He said
that the moment SPENCE ordered a carriage he was notified of it, and
that was how he happened to meet up with the pair in Monroe avenue.
He said SPENCE, after being whipped to a standstill, ran to the
canal towpath in Alexander street, and ran out the towpath all the
way back to South avenue, where he managed to make his way back to
the hotel.
RILEY said he bitterly regretted the
incident, but he thought it might teach SPENCE a lesson. He said he
would never again live with his wife.
SPENCE was a badly beaten man. When he
reached the Powers he managed to make his way to the fourth floor,
but was unable to reach his room. He fell in the hallway and was
found in a helpless condition by an employee of the hotel. Two
physicians were summoned to fix the man up. There were two bruises
on the head, and both were swollen to the size of a lemon.
SPENCE left the city yesterday morning before his
story could be obtained.

enough, and turned him over to Patrolman ANDERSON. MEYERS was sent

WOMAN TELLS SHAMEFUL ACTS
Strong Testimony Against Adriano's Saloon
Girl Says She Was Ruined There
Women Witnesses Say They Visited Italian Resort,
Met Men There and Drank with Them,
and Went with Them to Other Places
The hearing of Antonio ADRIANO, charged with
keeping a disorderly house, began in police court yesterday
afternoon. Prosecutor ZIMMERMAN appeared for the people and John
J. McINERNEY for the accused Italian. Several witnesses were
examined. The testimony of the three women taken from the
Elizabeth "joint" was sensational. All three told of
flagrant disregard for law and decency on the part of ADRIANO and
MARKS. The hearing was adjourned until September 6th. The women
will remain in the city, as their testimony may be needed again.
ADRIANO up to July 28th conducted the saloon at
No. 12 Elizabeth street, once known as the BULLINGER House. It was
a notorious place and has figured in the courts on more than one
occasion. Patrolmen PHALEN and CONVEY, who were watching for
visitors of the bathing ordinance in the vicinity of the canal,
saw a young woman enter the saloon. They waited until she came out
of the place and then held her up. She gave information that
brought about a police raid upon the place. Two more women were
arrested, and finally ADRIANO also was arrested, on a warrant.
Frank MARKS's arrest followed.
Viola ALLEN, 23 years old of Elmira, was
an important witness. She said she came to Rochester in July and
that the Italian's saloon was among the first places she visited.
She said she was in the habit of going to the saloon and met men
there. She drank with them, and went to other places with them
from the saloon. She denied that she had ever been in trouble in
Elmira and said she never had been arrested before.
ELMIRA MAN A WITNESS
Joseph SUBBL, who has a hotel at No. 485
Railroad street, Elmira, testified that he knew the young woman
and that she had been convicted in the recorder's court in that
city. He had witnessed her conviction, he said.
Laura NICHOLS, 19 years old, of Tioga,
Pa., said she came to Rochester a year ago. Not until July last
had she been in the Italian saloon conducted by ADRIANO. She said
she met Frank MARKS, and that he induced her to go there with him.
She said she was a pure girl until that time, and that MARKS was
responsible for her first wrong act. On the occasion of every
visit to the place she saw men and women together drinking, and
saw women smoking cigarettes.
Laura TRINGREY, who gave the name of Rose
RUSSELL at the time of the raid, was the next witness. She is 27
years old and lives in Buffalo. She said she came to Rochester
three months ago. She went to the Italian's saloon regularly up to
the time of the raid. She said she met men there and had taken
rooms with them afterwards. She had seen other women there, and
had seen them smoking cigarettes.
GENERAL DENIAL BY MARKS
Frank MARKS denied that he had ever had
any improper relations with Miss NICHOLS. He denied that when the
police entered the place he had addressed himself to Patrolman
CONVEY and referred to Miss NICHOLS as his friend and told him to
leave her alone. He denied all the allegations the women witnesses
had made against the place and its patrons. He claimed that the
saloon was conducted as legitimately as any other place in the
city.
The hearing was adjournment until September
6th, at which time ADRIANO will have an opportunity to go on the
stand. ADRIANO has had quite a court experience since he came to
Rochester. He was the principal witness in the Angelo MARKS
perjury trial in County Court, when he testified for the accused
MARKS. He was also the complainant against Luigi CORREGLIANO, who

BOY'S NECK BROKEN BY FALLING WEIGHT
Youngster Killed at Abandoned Building
Harry F. FORTMAN, 12 years old, son of
Jacob FORTMAN, of No. 52 Barnum street, was killed at the
abandoned works of the American Bridge Company, Leighton avenue
and Barnum street, yesterday afternoon. The boy was playing
about the old building when a weight consisting of more than 500
pounds of sand fell on him. He was struck upon the head, and
death was practically instantaneous. The skull was fractured and
the neck broken. Coroner KLEINDIENST will continue an
investigation this morning.
Young FORTMAN and several other boys
were playing about the abandoned building. FORTMAN had mounted
to the top of an old furnace and was standing there when the
accident occurred. How the weight came to fall will probably
never be known. It carried the boy to the ground, about eight
feet below.
The weight consisted of a box filled
with sand. It hung from a cable, and apparently had been
utilized in working a heavy door. It is not known what caused
the cable to part. It is thought, however, that the movements of
the boys running about that part of the building caused it to
break.
The father of the dead boy called at
the morgue last night. He saw Coroner KLEINDIENST and talked
with him concerning the accident. FORTMAN was greatly depressed.
He said he was under the impression that his son was killed by a
falling timber. The Coroner will visit the old works this
morning and make an investigation.
Ambulance Surgeon NEWMAN, of the
Homeopathic Hospital, who responded to the hurry call, said the
boy was unconscious when he arrived at the plant. He thought he
detected a slight beating of the pulse, however, and placed the
boy in the ambulance. He started for the hospital, but death
soon came.
The boy was a son of Jacob and Salome
FORTMAN. He leaves, besides his parents, a sister, May, and
three brothers, George, Charles and Elmer.
