MANY NORTH STREET TAXPAYERS WANT THEIR PAVEMENTS RELAID - - COMMITTEE NAMED TO LOOK AFTER PEOPLE’S INTERESTS.
A large delegation of North street taxpayers attended the meeting held at Henry HEBING’S store last night to discuss the matter of the Medina block pavement laid about a year ago.  Many of those present insisted that the pavement ought to be relaid, and Aldermen MURA, SCHMITT and F.A. WARD promised to oppose the confirmation of the assessment roll until the street was put in proper shape.  Charles M. BAYER acted as chairman of the meeting and Nicholas MILLER was secretary.
Mr. BAYER said: “Engineer FISHER admitted to me that there is but one inspector in the employ of the city that is competent to inspect the work done on Medina block pavements.  The inspector we had on this North street job was not capable of judging the work, and the city engineer admitted it.”
George KLEM said that he had drawn the petition for what he thought was to be an improvement, and that his petition called for a good pavement, new lights, underground wires and other things which have not arrived.  He said that it was his request that a good inspector be assigned to the North street job.
Ald. F.A. WARD said that the only thing to do at present was to hold up the assessment rolls and put up a stiff fight in the Common Council until matters were righted.  He believed that it would be necessary to act in conjunction with the city to force the contractors to put the street in proper condition.
Dr. Charles S. STARR, acting upon the suggestion of Mr. KLEM, moved that a committee of five taxpayers be appointed, with full power to act and look after the interests of the taxpayers.  He did not believe that it was necessary to employ an attorney at this time, but remarked with much emphasis that he would never pay his assessment, not even if he had to individually carry the case to the United States Supreme Court.
Chairman BAYER appointed the following committee to investigate matters and report at a meeting to be held subject to the call of the chairman:  George KLEM, Henry HEBING, Samuel MYERS, F. M. THRASHER and John C. AGNEW.     KS

OBJECT TO DETENTION OF GIRL WHO WAS KIDNAPPED - - Sup’t KILLIP of Society for Prevention for Cruelty to Children Receives Complaints in Case of Filomena DiPONZIO - - Kidnappers Arraigned in Police Court Get Adjournment.
On the ground that she has committed no crime and that she is of too tender years to be detained in a room at police headquarters until the case of three Italians and one American is settled, superintendent KILLIP of the Society for Prevention for Cruelty to Children is trying to secure the release of pretty 15-year-old Filomena DiPONZIO, who was seized in Jay street and carried away in a closed carriage September 27th.  Superintendent KILLIP has received many complaints recently from relatives and friends who declare her detention is wrong.
The girl was detained by order of the police when Charles McDONALD, Antonio BERLANDI, Verino ORLANDI and Ruggerio FURBANO were arrested for kidnapping her.  They have also been locked up.  They were not admitted to bail and the police held the girl to have her appear as a witness against them.
In police court to-day  the four alleged kidnappers pleaded not guilty and their case was adjourned till Oct. 24th.  In the meantime the grand jury will probably consider the case.
Filomena was seized while on her way to work in the Rochester Stamping Works in Jones street.  She was carried bodily to the carriage and thrown in.  Then the kidnappers drove rapidly in the direction of Scottsville.  Several detective and motorcycle policemen gave chase and overhauled the rig, bringing the alleged kidnappers and the girl back to the city.
It is alleged FURBANO led the kidnappers and that he wanted to carry the girl away to marry her.  She is the daughter of Michael DiPONZIO, 135 Kent street.
When Supt. KILLIP to-day secured records showing that the DiPONZIO girl is only 15 years old she was removed to the Shelter.

The police took several Italians into custody, and MAZZEI was charged with the murder.  Another Italian has been sought by the police, but he has not been found.

MAN MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH IN PECULIAR MANNER AT QUARRY.
Ditto LUCIANO, 25 years of age, whose home was in Scio street, met a horrible death this morning at the stone quarry of WHITMORE, RAUBER & VICINUS in North Goodman street.  How the accident happened is a mystery but when the man was found his body was ground to bits and was lying beside a stone-crushing machine.
LUCIANO had been in the employ of the company for four years during which time he has acted as oiler.  This morning he started out for the lower end of the quarry to oil the stone crusher.  Nothing more was heard of the man, but about half an hour later employees noticed that the machinery was running in a peculiar manner, going by jumps.
An investigation was started and mangled remains of the unfortunate man were found lying on the ground beside the machine, his body being literally cut into small pieces.  Coroner KILLIP was notified and had the remains taken to the morgue and will later hold an inquest.

GIRL DYING FROM OPERATION; CORONER IS INVESTIGATING - - Causes Arrest of Young Man Who is Locked Up on Serious Charge While Police are Looking for Physician --  Victim in Homeopathic Hospital. --With an alleged victim of a criminal operation, Miss Jennie BOTTOMLEY, 22 years of age, 31 Leopold street, dying at the Homeopathic Hospital, Coroner KILLIP and the police are investigating circumstances surrounding the case.  Fred ROY, 23 years of age, 96 Clinton avenue south, who is said to be the girl’s sweetheart, is under arrest at police headquarters, while the police are looking for Dr. Fred R. EAST of North street, who is said to have been responsible for the girl’s condition.
It is alleged that the girl went with ROY to the office of Dr. EAST Monday night of last week.  ROY went in and made arrangements with the doctor to perform a criminal operation while the girl remained outside.  ROY left the office and told the girl the physician would perform the operation.  The girl would not go in whereupon ROY again entered the office and made arrangements with the physician to go to her home.  She was living with her sister, Mrs. ROACH, in Leopold street.
It is said Dr. EAST went to the house and that on Wednesday night the patient became worse.  Then Dr. EAST saw her again.  On Friday night it is alleged he again visited her and then treated her again.  She continued to become worse and called Dr. MORGAN, a former intern at the Homeopathic hospital.  When Dr. MORGAN saw her condition he had her removed to the hospital.
When the hospital physicians diagnosed the case they found her condition almost hopeless.  She was suffering from a bad form of septacaemia.  Coroner KILLIP and the police were notified and they at once took steps to arrest ROY and Dr. EAST.
ROY was arrested this morning by Officer DEVEREAUX and Detective BARNETT.  Detectives SPILLINGS, O’BRIEN and BAUER were also in the case.  Dr. EAST is missing.
The charge against ROY is aiding in having a criminal operation performed.
Coroner KILLIP, with Stenographer William R. Lansing, went to the hospital last night and secured an ante-mortem statement from Miss BOTTOMLEY.  She is said to have told who performed the operation, and the circumstances of the case.   Assistant District Attorney BECHTOLD was called into the case this morning and interviewed ROY at police headquarters.  It is said ROY has confessed to having called Dr. EAST into the case.  ROY is a clothing cutter and Miss BOTTOMLEY has been employed as a tailoress.
The maximum penalty for performing a criminal operation is four years imprisonment, while maximum penalty is twenty years, the charge being manslaughter.  In this case it is alleged ROY is equally guilty with the one performing the operation.

SEVERAL SMALL FIRES.  Flames Threatened to Do Considerable Damage at Vacuum Oil Works – Fire in Shoe Store.
A serious fire was narrowly averted at the plant of the Vacuum Oil Company early last evening when a back draught from a furnace set fire to shavings in a long chute which connects the boiler room with the cooperage plant.  The flames spread rapidly and the fact that employees got two lines of hose in operation and held the fire in check until the department arrived in response to an alarm from box 125 was all that prevented a bad fire.
The firemen laid several additional lines of hose and after a hard fight succeeded in extinguishing the blaze.  The roof of the building was burned away, however, and the damage will amount to about $300.
Fire in the basement of the shoe store of F.J. MYERS, 358 Hudson avenue, did damage estimated at $200 shortly after 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon.  An overheated radiator in the house of Peter VERBRIDGE, 142 ½  South Fitzhugh street, late yesterday afternoon did slight damage.   A still alarm summoned Battalion Chief CREEGAN and several companies.

WIFE SAYS HUSBAND WOULD STRANGLE HER TO DEATH.  Causes Arrest of Spouse Recently Released From Penitentiary - - Sent There for Carrying a Revolver - - Attacks Wife at Home. ---- Alleging that her husband, Irving SCOTT, 14 Charlotte street, came home in an intoxicated condition last night and attempted to strangle her to death, Mrs. Mary SCOTT has caused his arrest on a charge of assault.

In information filed with Police Court Clerk Roy CHADSEY, Mrs. SCOTT alleges her husband hasn’t been home much lately.  She says he went to the house last night and attacked her, while their children attempted to intervene.  Mrs. SCOTT alleges her husband grabbed her with both hands about the throat and, throwing her on a bed, threatened to kill her.  The police were called and SCOTT was arrested.

WANTED FOR ROBBERY.  Authorities Asked to Hold John J. WILSON for Crime in Galion, Ohio - - Now in Penitentiary.  - - The police have been asked to hold John J. WILSON, who was arrested in the New York Central railroad yards several days ago and was found to have suspicious papers on his person, among them a pass for nine men on the Big Four railroad.  WILSON was arraigned in police court and sent to the penitentiary for six months on a vagrancy charge.
Special Officer EHRMENTRAUT arrested WILSON after he had been loitering about the railroad yards for some time.  He claimed he was looking for a job, but told a queer story when asked about the Big Four pass.  He said he found it.  In a letter received by EHRMENTRAUT from M. M. GROGEN, superintendent of bridges for the Big Four railroad, he is asked to hold WILSON.  The letter states that WILSON is wanted in Galion for robbing a tool car.  WILSON will probably be re-arrested when he leaves the penitentiary.    KS

CRITICIZES POST OFFICE OFFICIALS
Coroner KILLIP Says That More Care Should Be Used in Placing Letter Boxes.
Coroner KILLIP this morning held the concluding session of the inquest into the death of Mrs. Maria TANNER, who died on Sunday last at the home of her brother, William J. HARKNESS of 1667 Dewey Avenue, from injuries received the previous Monday, when she was struck by a trolley car while attempting to cross Dewey Avenue at the intersection of Birr Street.
At the conclusion of this morning’s hearing the coroner rendered a verdict of accidental death.  The coroner said, “I think that it shows poor judgment on the part of the postoffice authorities when they place a letter box on a post so near the car tracks and arrange it so that the fire alarm box on the same post obstructs the view of an approaching car.  More care should be used in the placing of mail boxes.”
The first hearing was held yesterday when the crew of the car which struck Mrs. Tanner and some of those who were nearby gave testimony.  The evidence showed that Mrs. Tanner  had crossed the street to mail a letter and that she had then stepped back on the track directly in front of the oncoming car.  She was struck and was thrown to one side.  The motorman and conductor hastened to her assistance and helped her across the street to the home of her brother.  As she was mounting the steps she complained of a dizzy feeling. A short time after she became unconscious and remained in that condition until she died.

LOUIS HEINDL.  Louis HEINDL, Democratic and Independence League candidate for alderman of the Fifth ward, has been a resident of the ward for more than forty years and is known to every voter in it.  Mr. HEINDL was Democratic candidate for county overseer of the poor one year ago and his popularity was attested by the fact that he ran 434 votes ahead of his opponent in his home ward.  He has for many years been engaged in the printing business and is one of the leading German citizens of Rochester, being connected with a large number of fraternal organizations.
Mr. HEINDL was born in Munich, Germany, in 1844, and came to this country with his parents when 5 years of age.  His family settled in Rochester and he has lived here ever since.  Mr. HEINDL received his education in St. Joseph’s parochial school and No. 14 school and upon leaving school learned the printing trade.  While a young man he worked in a number of newspaper offices.
Mr. HEINDL has been a member of St. George Commandery, No. 13, Knights of St. John, for more than thirty years and is now treasurer of the organization.  He has for twenty years been a member of Branch 34, C.M.B.A., and has served as its recorder.
Mr. HEINDL has always been a Democrat and his loyalty to the party and its principles has never been questioned.  He has for years been among the most trusted advisers of the party and is recognized as a man of exceptional ability.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATERS
Plans Being Made for an Interscholastic Tournament, to Pick Members of Representative Team.
----
So much interest has been shown at the East High School in debating that it has been decided that at the same time the interscholastic teams are picked the members of various classes that do not succeed in making the school team will be put on their own class team.  It has been decided that all of the trial debates be held before the Christmas vacation and that directly after the vacation the interclass debates will be held.  These debates will decide the school championship.  Both the June and January classes will have a team.  The freshmen will not be allowed to have a team as there is not enough material in the class to warrant it.
At a meeting of the class of January, 1908, officers and committees were chosen to take charge of the various senior class activities.  These events will include, beside the usual class day exercises and the senior dance, a rough house day, a sleighride and roller skating party.  All of these events will take place during the graduating week.  The committees were appointed as follows:
Graduation committee—Willard LINES, chairman; Martha BAKER, Ruth KELLOG, Richard BELL.
Decoration committee — Chester DORON, chairman; Charles McFADDEN, Bessie OLIVER, Fred KIMBALL, Nellie MAGRAIN.
Rough house day committee — Walter JOHNSON, chairman; Egbert SILVERNAIL, Leroy FINLEY, David SAMPSON.
Class day committee:  Romana (sp.) ADAMS, chairman; Laura ROCHMAND, Helen BARNES, Henry MARKES.
Senior dance committee:  Allen BREWER, chairman; John BELLIS, Alvin CREOR, Clayton HUTCHINS.
Roller skating committee:  Norman THOMMSEN, chairman; Leroy FINLEY.

Senior annual committee:  Isadora FEIDERBUSCH, chairman; Miss Ramona ADAMS.
Class orator, Richard BELL; class historian, Allen BREWER; class poet, Ruth BEACH; class prophet, Charles McFADDEN.
The staff of managers for the senior play that is to be produced some time early in December was also elected.  They are as follows:  Business manager, Halbert WRIGHT; assistant business manager, Willard LINES; stage manager, Harry VELTH; property manager, Dewey BACON.
Quite a little interest has already been manifested in the senior play, which is expected to be one of the best ever produced in the school, as there is a great deal of fine material among the members of the class.
The class of January, 1909, elected their president, Miss Alice BOOTH, as manager of the class debating team.  All the other classes are to follow suit.

POLISH BAND’S TROUBLES COME THICK AND FAST
Neighbors Complain, Leader Deserts, Funds Are Stolen and it Quits.

Needing the guiding spirit of its patron saint, Kosciusko’s Polish band, which once thrived in the back room of a saloon at Clifford and Henry streets, has gone out of existence after battling against great odds for three months.  Its brief career was marked by complaints from neighbors against its discordant strains and desertion by its leader, and now it is forced to give up the ghost since its treasurer is alleged to have disappeared with funds of the organization.
Anthony GLOTTS, once secretary of the band, appeared at police headquarters late yesterday afternoon with another member, and told Police Court Clerk Roy CHADSEY of the band’s fate.  He said it was organized with nineteen members, all Polish.  They were musical, and while only beginners in the band business made rapid strides toward success.  They met in the rear room of the saloon and held almost nightly rehearsals.  For a month or so the band had clear sailing, but finally persons living in the neighborhood began to complain.  They said the music grated upon their ears and nervous ones could not sleep until long after midnight.  They thought the band ought to move from the neighborhood.  The complaints became so frequent that the musicians packed up and left.
Within another week or two another calamity fell upon the followers of the Polish patriot.  This time it was the desertion of their leader.  Without a word of warning he left for Buffalo, and then there was no one to lead the band.  One of the members, however, essayed to direct the music, and once more things looked more prosperous, but it was not for long.  There was a row over newly purchased instruments.  It was a terrible fracas and it ended the band’s career.  But that was not all.  Members allege they have contributed about $230 toward the support of the organization, and now it is claimed some of the funds are missing.  The treasurer of the band is accused of failing to account for them, and a warrant has been secured for his arrest.
It is charged that some $30 altogether has not been accounted for, but the warrant issued for the former treasurer alleges the theft of only $10.  If this is collected other warrants may be issued.
Armed with the warrant Officer SCHWAB last night arrested the band’s treasurer, Anthony WARSCZONEK, at 81 Alphonse street.  He was arraigned in police court to-day and pleaded not guilty.  The case was adjourned until October 18th.

MICHAEL DUNNE.
Michael DUNNE, Democratic candidate for supervisor from the Thirteenth ward, was born in Ireland 52 years ago and came to this country fourteen years later, and has since been a resident of this city.  For twenty-six years he has been a resident of the ward which desires him to represent it in the county legislature.  He is a member of the Sheet Metal Worker’s Local 46, a charter member of Div. 1, A.O.H., and a member of Branch 87, C.M.B.A.   In both these organizations he has held the office of president. 
Mr. DUNNE has been a lifelong Democrat, but aside from serving as a member of the ward committee has held nor sought political honors.

THOMAS J. HARPER.    In nominating Thomas J. HARPER as their candidate for supervisor, the Democrats of the Ninth ward did one of the best things in the history of their organization.  No better selection could have been made.  Able, honest and capable, their candidate comes up to the Jeffersonian standard in every way.  Mr. HARPER was born in the Ninth ward and has been engaged in business there for more than twenty years.  Although a lifelong and consistent Democrat, he has never before been a candidate for office and, indeed, is one now only at the urgent solicitation of his friends.  He is universally and deservedly popular with all classes and is thoroughly acquainted with the needs of his constituency.  He has every qualification for making a most useful and efficient representative of his ward in the Board of Supervisors.  As the candidate of his party, Mr. HARPER embodies all the elements of a “vote-getter.”

DR. CHARLES TUCKER.
Dr. Charles J. TUCKER, Democratic candidate for coroner from the west side of the river, is a practicing physician of nearly a quarter of a century’s experience, a man of deep scientific learning and excellent education.  While he has lived in Rochester but comparatively few years, he is well known to the local medical profession and is highly respected among his medical associates.
He was born in Allegany county, this state, in 1860, and obtained his early education in the country district schools.  He later entered the Genesee Valley Seminary at Belfast, N.Y., of which institution he is a graduate.  Dr. TUCKER entered the University of the City of New York and studied medicine, graduating in the year 1883.
He then went to Kansas, where he was engaged in the practice of medicine for eighteen years.  During that time he was elected justice of the peace of his town on the Democratic ticket and was a representative in the county committee of his party.
When Grover CLEVELAND was President, Dr. TUCKER was appointed pension examiner and held that office under both CLEVELAND administrations.  During the late Spanish war he was recruiting officer for the United States army. 
While in Kansas he joined the Free and Accepted Masons and was chosen master of his lodge.  He was also a member of the Knights of Pythias and of the Odd Fellows.
Dr. TUCKER came to Rochester four years ago and since then has been engaged in the practice  of medicine in this city.

ARRESTED IN BUFFALO

He is accused of stealing clothing from his brother in Rochester.
Chief HAYDEN has sent detectives to Buffalo after CALLAHAN and he will be brought back here tonight.

WONDER WHERE HE GOT LAMP AND GAS PIPE
Police Puzzled by Peculiar Burden of Veteran From Bath -  Sent to Penitentiary.
When Officer BURNS found William J. THOMPSON, 65 years of age, a Civil War veteran from Bath, in Front street at 4:30 o’clock this morning, the latter was trudging along with a peculiar burden.  It was a large lamp attached to a gas pipe about six feet long.  The police are wondering where the veteran got the lamp and gas-pipe.
THOMPSON was under the influence of liquor when the officer discovered him and he had all he could do to carry his burden along.  He was locked up and in police court to-day Judge CHADSEY sent him to the penitentiary for ten days to sober up.
THOMSPON told Judge CHADSEY that he was passing the Erie depot last night when a stranger approached and handed him the lamp and gaspipe.  They were attached and the police think they were taken out of a room somewhere.  It is possible that a gas leak in some building may disclose where THOMPSON got the lamp.  He has been arrested before and only a few days ago promised Judge CHADSEY he would return to Bath.  He said to-day he would have gone back there last night only for the fact that he missed his train.

MYSTERY IN YOUNG WIFE’S DISAPPEARANCE - Husband of Irondequoit woman Asks Police to Locate Her.   Considerable mystery surrounds the disappearance of Mrs. George STARKWEATHER, 20 years of age, from her home in Irondequoit.  She has been missing since last Tuesday night and although her husband has searched diligently for her he has been unable to find her anywhere.  He asked the police this morning to help find her.
Mrs. STARKWEATHER was last seen when she started to SCHUHART’S grocery store in the town of Irondequoit.  She left home at 7 o’clock in the evening and when she went away she was without a hat.  Her husband waited for her return and when she did not come back he instituted a vain search for her.
The husband told Chief HAYDEN this morning that he knew of no reason why his wife should leave home.  He said they had been married three years and had never quarreled.  She is a delicate woman, he said, and this fact adds all the more to the mystery of the case.
STARKWEATHER and his wife formerly lived in Willamsville, N.Y., and he thought she might have gone there, but upon going to that place he failed to find her or any word from her.  They have no children.  The husband fears his wife may have become mentally deranged and is somewhere in Rochester.   ks

Verdict for the plaintiff the sum of $3,500 was returned this morning in the case of Adam BERNHARD against the city of Rochester.  Agreement was reached last night, but a sealed verdict was not delivered until 10 o’clock this morning, when Judge George a.

BURGLARS OVERLOOK BIG ROLL OF BILLS IN DRUG STORE – But Get Away With Large Quantity of Cigars and Small Sum of Money - - - Police Investigating.
Burglars who broke into the drug store of Wheaton MATTHEWS, Bronson avenue and Genesee street, last night, were careless.  They overlooked a big roll of bills in a drawer, but got away with a large quantity of cigars and a small amount of cash.
Entrance to the drug store was gained through a rear window.  The thieves cut out the sash and then had little trouble getting inside.  Cigars worth $75 were stolen and about $3 was stolen from a cash register.  Under the cash register was a drawer containing more than $100 in bills, but the burglars did not open the drawer.
The burglary was discovered this morning when the store was opened.  It was reported to the police of the Sixth precinct and to police headquarters and detectives are investigating.
The police think the drug store burglary was committed by the same thieves who last night broke into a meat market at 8 Bronson avenue.  No trace of the thieves has been found.

PET DOG UPSETS OIL STOVE; WOMAN RECEIVES SLIGHT BURNS.  As Mrs. Frank J. McGAHAN was standing in front of her residence, 224 Bronson avenue, at 10:30 o’clock this morning, a little boy appeared in the doorway, and said, “I think there is something the matter in the back of the house and I guess you better come.”  Mrs. McGAHAN started into the house to investigate and when she opened the kitchen door she located the trouble.  She was met with a burst of smoke and flames and a very much scared puppy darted through the door with its tail between its legs.
Calling to members of the family to telephone to headquarters, Mrs. McGAHAN dashed into the room and grabbing the blazing oil stove threw it out the back door.  Responding to the still alarm, Battalion Chief CREEGAN, together with Hose 19 and Truck 5, soon reached the house and in ten minutes, by the use of chemicals, the flames were extinguished.  Smoke and the fire together, however, had damaged the room to the extent of about $50 and Mrs. McGAHAN had received painful but not serious burns on her hands.  It was undoubtedly due to her prompt action in throwing out the stove that the house was saved.
Mrs. McGAHAN told Chief CREEGAN that she had left the stove burning in the kitchen and had gone out leaving only the dog in the room.  The chief made an investigation and decided that the only way to account for the fire was to charge it up against the pup, for when Mrs. McGAHAN came into the room after being called by the boy, the stove was overturned and an examination showed that there had not been an explosion of any kind.  The pup damaged his winter coat slightly but otherwise did not suffer any severe loss.

BOY SERIOUSLY INJURED.  Patrick LARKIN Falls From Caboose of a Freight Train and May Have Broken Back. Patrick LARKIN, 16 years old, of 149 Silver street was seriously if not fatally injured at 2 o’clock this afternoon when he fell from the rear platform of the caboose of a west-bound freight train on the New York Central railroad near the intersection of Tonawanda and Brown streets.
Young LARKIN was on his way home from work and, like many of the lads in the neighborhood, did not believe in walking when the cars were handy.  Accordingly he perched himself on the rear platform of a freight train and was riding home in comfort, when a burly brakeman ordered him from the train.  It is said that LARKIN became frightened, missed his footing and fell backwards, landing on a tie.
Several who were near by saw the boy fall from the train and when he did not arise they hastened to his assistance.  He was picked up and carried from the tracks and two men who happened to be driving past in a wagon took him to the family home which was but a short distance from the scene of the accident.

ACCUSED FATHER MISSING.  Police Looking for Pole Charged With Beating His Wife and Not Sending Children to School.  Michael DIDEK, 10 Frederick street, is missing from his home and the police are looking for him.  Michael is not only accused of not sending his children to school, but his wife has secured a warrant charging him with beating her.
DIDEK was in police court a day or two ago for not sending his children to school and his case was adjourned to give him a chance to comply with the law.  It is alleged, however, that he went home and got into a quarrel with his wife over the children and struck her several times.  A policeman was unable to find DIDEK at his home last night and it is said he has deserted his wife and five children.  Polish interpreter Simon BLUHM is investigating the case.

GIRL BABY HAS LONG JOURNEY
Comes Alone to Rochester All the Way from St. Louis With Tag Around Neck.
Little Margaret BROWN, scarcely 5 years of age, warmly clad and childishly happy, arrived in Rochester early this morning, having journeyed all the way from St. Louis alone.  Around her neck was a cord, bearing a tag on which was inscribed the name of the woman to whom she was consigned, Mrs. Harmon GRANDY.  Besides her railroad ticket this was all that the little miss had to insure her safety, but, owing to the careful attention of the conductors and railroad employees all along the line, as well as the travelers and agents, the child arrived all right.
The West Shore train from the west, due here at 7:50 o’clock this morning, bore the youngster.  The train was a bit late but when it rolled into the station there was no one on hand to meet the girl.
The conductor turned her over to Policeman MULCAHY, who led her to Miss Louise WATSON, traveler’s aid agent of the Y.M.C.A.   Miss WATSON and the police started a search for Mrs. GRANDY, but were unable to locate her.  She arrived at the station later, and took the child away.  She said that she had been delayed in reaching the station.
While Mrs. GRANDY was being sought the little girl was boss of the station, having all the railroad employees kowtowing at her feet.  Her slightest wish was law, and it was evident that she had plenty of attention on her long trip.

SLAUGHTER OF CUTLER RESENTED.
On Every Side Republicans Are Expressing Their Indignation.  Say They Will Get Even With Aldridge at the Polls --- Last Addition to “George’s” Graveyard too Much. 
O’GRADY, CARNAHAN, RODENBECK and CUTLER Decapitated --- Casting Aside of Charles H. JUDSON.
The tide is turning toward Ward.  Everywhere one goes among Republicans to-day are heard expressions of indignation and disgust at the ruthless decapitation of Mayor James G. CUTLER by Mr. ALDRIDGE’s manipulation of the Republican city convention.  These open expressions of disapproval and anger come not only from the common voter, who ordinarily pays little attention to political matters beyond voting his party ticket, but from some of ALDRIDGE’s closest friends and political backers.
“George’s” graveyard is growing too fast to suit even his most intimate associates.  O’GRADY, one of the most brilliant young Republicans Monroe county ever saw, was rewarded for his long and active service by being thrust down and out.   Closely following him came CARNAHAN, one of the most independent mayors Rochester ever had.  It was all arranged to have RODENBECK meet the same political end, although there was no criticism of his administration among Republicans, but death caused a vacancy in the Court of Claims just at this moment and fate furnished an opportunity to take care of him.  RODENBECK need not thank ALDRIDGE for this, because he would have been cast aside with as little compunction as the rest if death had not stepped into the Court of Claims judiciary.
Now ALDRIDGE has humiliated and cast off Mayor James G. CUTLER, who was probably the best Republican mayor the city of Rochester ever knew.  The most independent man and the least subject to improper influences.  Is it any wonder that Mr. ALDRIDGE is a master in the role of funeral director?
Republicans are now calling to mind all these things and even leaders in the party say they will not put up with this last addition to the ALDRIDGE cemetery.  And if the leaders are talking the ordinary voters of the party are doing more.  They say they will use every influence they can to defeat the ALDRIDGE programme.
The casting aside of Charles H. JUDSON from the city assessors’ ticket is a subject of much discussion.  JUDSON fully expected renomination and had every reason to, but at the last minute, he was rubbed off the slate without a reason being given and not even offered another place on the ticket.  The uncertainty of serving the Republican machine is becoming almost too prominent.
As was expected, Mayor CUTLER has sent his telegram of congratulations to Hiram H. EDGERTON.  EDGERTON, had he any chance whatever of election, might be in the position in two years to send a like message to some other fellow.

CANAL BREAK AGAIN REPAIRED.  The break in the Erie canal at Syracuse has been repaired and boats started moving again this morning.  The work was finished yesterday and the water was let in last night and it is not expected that there will be any further trouble.  Only a few boats were delayed by this last break and there was little dissatisfaction among the men.

ALL IDIOTS REMOVED FROM ALMSHOUSE
Additions to Rome Institution Make Relief Possible.
For the first time in at least two decades the Monroe county almshouse shelters no idiots. 
During this week, Superintendent LODGE has had transferred to the Rome State Custodial Asylum for idiots four inmates of the local institution, completing the cleaning out of the Monroe County almshouse.
The last transfer was made to-day, when Frank J. ALDRIDGE, clerk at the almshouse, took to the Rome institution Frank BAKER, who had been an inmate of the almshouse for over twenty years.
Theoretically, there have been no idiots in almshouses, for there is a state law prohibiting them from being housed in such institutions, and calling upon superintendents of the poor to provide some other place for them.
The state started to do so by building the Rome Custodial, but failed to make the accommodations sufficient.  Recently, however there have been numerous additions made to the Rom institution with the result that its primal purpose --- of relieving the almshouse and superintendents of the poor of the care of the feeble-minded can now be carried out.

REMOVAL.   J.D. TOMLIN has removed his insurance and real estate office from 411 Chamber of Commerce building to 511 German Insurance building.  Thanking patrons for past favors, will be pleased to serve them as well in his new headquarters.

THOUSAND DOLLARS BAIL FOR ACCUSED PHYSICIAN
----
Dr. EAST Surrenders to Police and Pleads Not Guilty When Arraigned on Charge of Performing Criminal Operation    - - - Case Adjourned.
----
Dr. Frederick R. EAST, 260 North street, accused of performing a criminal operation upon Miss Jennie BOTTOMLEY, 31 Leopold street, and for whom the police had been searching for three or four days, surrendered himself to Detectives NAGLE and SPILLINGS at police headquarters this morning and he was arrested on a warrant which has been in the hands of the police since Wednesday.  He was immediately arraigned in police court before Judge CHADSEY and pleaded not guilty.  The case was adjourned till October 21st.  Judge CHADSEY fixed bail at $1,000.
Dr. EAST is alleged in a complaint filed with the police and in an ante-mortem statement made to Coroner KILLIP by Miss BOTTOMLEY at the Homeopathic Hospital to have performed the operation upon her several days ago at her home.  Fred ROY, her sweetheart, is also accused of arranging for the operation.  He is now under arrest and awaiting trial.
County Attorney Arthur WARREN, who has been retained to defend Dr. EAST, promised Judge CHADSEY to produce the doctor in police court Wednesday and Thursday, but he was not there.  It was stated that Attorney WARREN wished to settle the matter of bail before producing his client.  On Wednesday Judge CHADSEY refused to fix bail till it was seen whether or not Miss BOTTOMLEY was to recover.  Judge CHADSEY stated this morning that the young woman is not yet out of danger, although she is said to be improved.
When arraigned, Dr. EAST at first waived examination, and Judge CHADSEY held him for the grand jury, but Attorney WARREN then withdrew the waiver and asked for a police court examination, when Assistant District Attorney ZIMMERMAN stated that it would be a month before the district attorney’s office could consider the case.  It was also said that if Miss BOTTOMLEY recovers at all, she will not be able to appear in court for a month.
After his arraignment, Dr. EAST was left in Chief HAYDEN’s office in custody of Detective NAGLE till bondsmen could be secured.  A peculiar feature of the case is the fact that ROY, the young man accused of arranging for the operation, is locked up without bail,  Judge CHADSEY having refused to admit him to bail when he was arraigned. 
The police have been unable to learn the whereabouts of Dr. EAST during the several days they were looking for him.  ks

CARRIED OFF IN BATH

Bath, Oct. 16 - The music store of Charles E. BUCK was broken into last night by thieves, who escaped with considerable property. The back windows were forced, after which the burglars broke the lock on an iron shutter, thus gaining ingress through another window into the store. The cash register was wrecked and about $18 obtained. The thieves also took several violins, a guitar, sheet music, mouthorgans and other small goods. Mr. BUCK estimates that about $100 worth of property is missing.

The same night the coal office of W. D. GARRISON, near the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western station, was broken into. Indications are that an effort was made to pry the safe door from its hinges, but in that the burglars were unsuccessful, and they got nothing for their pains.

POLITTO is accused of having shot an Italian named CARRIOLA through the ear.  The latter is a relative and refused to sign an information against POLITTO, so the latter was arrested on a charge of discharging firearms within the city limits.  The police court charge was withdrawn when the circumstances were explained to Judge CHADSEY.

CRUSHED BETWEEN CARS.  Popular Young Resident of Geneseo Lost His Life This Morning When Train Left the Track.  Geneseo N.Y., Oct. 18 - - - Nelson WEEKS, a popular young man of this place, was killed by being crushed by the cars on the Lackawanna railroad this morning under most distressing circumstances.
WEEKS started out early in company with Donald HOWELL to take four horses belonging to Dr. L.B. BAILEY across the flats to the Lackawanna station at Cuylerville, where the horses were placed in a box car, preparatory to being shipped to New York, where they were to be sold.
WEEKS got in the car and was going to make part of the trip with the horses to see that they were well cared for.  The freight train had gone but a mile or so when for some unknown reason the car jumped the track and for several hundred feet ran along on the ties.  WEEKS, when he felt the car commence to bump, stuck his head out through the door and just at that minute the car toppled over and he was caught and crushed to death.  Several hours later his body was taken from the wreckage in a horribly mutilated condition.  A strange fact is that with the exception of some slight scratches the horses escaped uninjured.  The young man’s body was brought back to this place and the coroner notified.
WEEKS is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Byron WEEKS, and by two sisters, Jennie and Mabel WEEKS.

The offense which led to the arrest of the boys was the throwing of grapes at the proprietor of the show, the girl cashier, and the door keeper.  The grapes also struck some of the paintings which decorate the entrance. 
The boys admitted that they stole the grapes from a store further up the street.  The boys were arrested by SALYERDS and turned over to Policeman W. FARRON.

JURY DISAGREED.  Eleven Jurors Were Willing to Give FUNSOOSTEN $5,000 for Damage Received in a Foundry.  Canandaigua, N.Y., Oct. 18 - - In Supreme Court yesterday, the case of Hammond FUNSOOSTEN vs. the Summit Foundry Company of Geneva, which had been on trial for two days, resulted in a disagreement of the jury.  It is rumored that eleven jurors were in favor of awarding the sum of $5,000 to the plaintiff, who sued to recover $20,000 damages from the foundry company for injuries sustained while working in their plant, but one lone juror, while concurring in the belief that the plaintiff was seriously and permanently injured, would not consent to awarding the sum agreed upon by his fellow jurors, but wished to fix the damages at $500, and the disagreement resulted.
The case of Frederick DILLMAN and John C. DILLMAN vs. the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad was placed on trial.  This was an action to recover damages for failure of the railroad to deliver a car of potatoes shipped by the plaintiffs, a Geneva produce firm, and which, it is alleged, through a mistake in billing arrived too late to allow of filling the order.  The jury brought in a verdict awarding the damages to the plaintiff in the amount of $622.80.
Following the disposition of this case, the case of Samuel K. NESTER vs. George A. BUCK and William H. SANGER was placed on trial.  Mr. NESTER, owner of the Hotel NESTER in Geneva, sues to recover rent to the amount of $2,000 for the hotel for the time elapsing between the period when the former lessees of the hotel had given up possession of the place and the time the active operation was assumed by the defendants who had leased it.

VICTIM OF MISTAKE.  Rochester Young Man Suffers from Being Caught in Bad Company - - - Buffalo Police Let Him Go.  Frank NORRIS, 178 Cady street, was the victim of a bad mistake on the part of the Buffalo police in that city on Wednesday night.  Found in a public place where was another young man for whom the police had been looking, he was taken to headquarters, but was later released when the police discovered they had made a mistake.
NORRIS was with a party of four friends in a Buffalo restaurant.  While there he met a young man giving his name as Lew FREEDMAN.  The police entered the restaurant and arrested FREEDMAN, for whom they had been looking on a charge of grand larceny.  As NORRIS had been talking to FREEDMAN he was also taken to the station.  FREEDMAN was accused of swindling in jewelry deals among which was the sale of worthless watches for valuable ones.
NORRIS was very much put out that the Buffalo police took him into custody and that his name was mentioned in connection with the case as no charges in any way attach to him.

WOMAN ACCUSED OF ASSAULT.  Cosma CONSTANTINE, who is charged with assault in the second degree by pushing a small boy, Tony SERPE, under a heavy coal wagon, so that he was seriously injured, was in police court this morning to answer to the charge, but another adjournment was granted in her case, which, it is understood, the grand jury has investigated.  The boy has been in the hospital for several weeks and is crippled by the accident.

TAXPAYERS TO FIGHT ASSESSMENT.  North Street People Not Satisfied With City’s Plans About Pavement. - -  The taxpayers of North street announced today that they intended to fight the assessment for their new Medina block pavement, and that preliminary plans would be made at a meeting of property owners to be held at Henry HEBING’s store, on North street, Monday night.  The citizens have retained John F. KINNEY as counsel, and say they will take the matter into the courts and set the assessment aside.
A committee of taxpayers from the street has called at the City Hall several times in regard to the condition of the pavement.   The last call was made this week and it was supposed then that matters had been fixed up satisfactorily.  Mayor CUTLER and City Engineer FISHER promised that the uneven parts of the street would be torn up by H.B. HOOKER & Son, the contractors who laid the pavement, and that such sections would be laid over.
Charles M. BAYER, one of the interested property owners, said to-day that the people were not satisfied with the way the work was being done.  He said that they wanted the whole street torn up and re-laid.   Mr. BAYER stated that the taxpayers had decided to fight against paying the assessment in the courts and that plans would be discussed at Monday night’s meeting, when Attorney KINNEY would be present.

BOY ACCUSED OF TAKING CART.  Andrew KOWALSKI, aged 7 years, was in infant’s court at police headquarters this morning on a charge of stealing a cart from Leonard VAN STALLEN and wrecking it.  He was given a lecture by Judge CHADSEY and his mother was warned to keep him off the streets.  The complainant was told that his only redress is in a civil suit.

MAN IN HOSPITAL WITH FATAL INJURIES RECEIVED IN MYSTERIOUS MANNER.  Ernest KRUSE, Taken From Main Street West Barroom Found to Have Fracture of Skull - - Asked for Drink and Fell Over – May Have Been Slugged By Hold-Up Man. - -  Ernest KRUSE, 50 years old, employed at the Green Nursery, is at the City Hospital suffering from serious if not fatal injuries.  The man was brought in this morning from Galvin’s Hotel at 130 Main street west.  The man is in a serious condition and will probably die as he has a bad fracture of the skull just over the right temple.
According to the story of the bartender at the hotel, it was shortly before 6 o’clock this morning when the man staggered into the bar room and asked for a drink.  Before he could be served he fell to the floor.  Later he arose and went outside where he fell to the walk and remained there in a semi-conscious condition.
The ambulance from the City Hospital was hurriedly summoned and when the surgeon arrived on the scene he found blood oozing from the man’s ear and a marked depression in the right temporal region.  He was hurried to the hospital, where everything possible was done to afford him aid.  Investigation showed that it was highly improbable that KRUSE received his injuries by a fall, as it is next to impossible for a person falling to be injured in the place where the depression on KRUSE’S skull showed the fracture to be.
It is highly probable that the man was struck with some blunt instrument and that in his dazed condition he hurried to the hotel and asked for aid.  The case has been turned over to the police for investigation.
Later in the morning the man became unconscious and as there is but little chance of his recovery because of the severity of the fracture, Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified to be in readiness in case the man recovered his senses, to go to the hospital and take an ante-mortem statement.
KRUSE lived at BROWN’S hotel at 116 Main street west but a short distance from where he was taken to the hospital.
Inquiry at the BROWN Hotel elicited the information that KRUSE was not well last night and one of the boarders stayed with him until 11 o’clock.  This morning the man arose shortly after 5 o’clock and said that he was feeling chilly and that he was going to GALVIN’S for some hot whisky.
Between BROWN’S and GALVIN’S there is an alley, on the corner of which is a restaurant.  This place was not yet open at 5:20 o’clock this morning and it is quite possible that the man received his injuries at the intersection of this alley.  It was quite dark at the time and there were few if any people on the street.
The GALVIN bar room had been opened by the proprietor himself and in the place, in addition to Mr. GALVIN, were Myron JOHNSON of Lockport and George KING, said to reside at 18 Elizabeth street.  When KRUSE entered the place and fell to the floor he was picked up by JOHNSON and KING.  He was placed in a chair and in a few moments said that he was feeling better and was able to reach his room.  He reached the street and again fell.  This time he was unable to rise and Officer HOHMAN, who was nearby, summoned the ambulance and had the man taken to the hospital.
Sergeant KLEIN was sent to the scene immediately after the police were notified and in a few minutes he was joined by Detective O’BRIEN.
It is said that KRUSE had been working in Clifton Springs for the Green Nursery Company.  He returned to Rochester on Monday last and rented a room at BROWN’S.  On Wednesday he went to work for the Green Nursery Company at their nurseries in this city.
KRUSE has a brother, who is a druggist in Evansville, Indiana, and other relatives in Covington, Ky.     ks

MANGLED AND KILLED WHEN CAR IS THROWN FROM TRACK

Young Geneseo Man Fatally Injured When Beginning First Trip to New York

Geneseo, Oct. 18 - Nelson WEEKS, an 18 year-old Geneseo boy, was killed at Moscow, across the flats, to-day. The young man was in a stock car, on the Deleware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad, with four horses consigned to New York city, when the car was tipped over. The terribly mangled remains were found beneath the side of it, and it is conjectured that the young man attempted to jump just as it toppled over.

WEEKS started out from Geneseo with Donald HOWELL early this morning. He was entrusted to take four blooded horses belonging to Dr. L. D. BAILEY, of this village, to the New York market. The story that prevails in Geneseo in regard to the cause of the accident is that after the train had gone about a mile, to the point where the Erie crosses the track, the Erie signal to proceed was up and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western signal to stop was also showing, but that, nevertheless, the train continued to plow on till the tower-man threw the switch and the stock car was derailed. The car bumped along on the sleepers for some distance before it finally fell on its side. None of the horses were badly hurt, but the young man was crushed almost beyond recognition.

WEEKS was considered a model young man by Geneseo acquaintances, his industry and disposition making him a general favorite. He was making his first trip to New York, and was looking forward with great pleasure to seeing the metropolis. He leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Byron WEEKS, two brothers and two sisters.

Olean, Oct. 18 - Overwhelmed by the thought that he was to become a victim of hydrophobia, James McGANN, 37 years old, ended his life in the Allegheny river, near Second street, early this morning. A few weeks ago McGANN was bitten on the hand by a dog. The bite did not heal, and during the last few days he has been in terror lest he should go mad.

A woman living on Green street saw the man running toward the river, throwing off his hat and coat as he ran. She telephoned to the police, but when the police reached the scene they found McGANN lying face down in about two feet of water, dead.

MAY DIE OF INJURES RECEIVED IN FALL

Kentucky Man Has Serious Fracture of Skull

Ernest KRUSE, 57 years old, is in a critical condition at the City Hospital, where he was taken yesterday morning ‘suffering from injuries said to have been received by falling on the floor of a saloon and on the sidewalk in front of the saloon. It is said that the man's skull is fractured and that there is little chance for his recovery. Definite information as to the man's actual condition was not obtainable last night, although an attache of the hospital said there had been no change since the man was brought there. Coroner KLEINDIENST said last night that he had been told that KRUSE could not live.

KRUSE has been employed at the Charles A. GREEN nurseries. Up to Tuesday he had worked for Mr. GREEN at Clifton Springs. He came to Rochester and went to the local nurseries, where he is said to have complained of feeling ill.

Yesterday morning the man walked into the saloon of Matthew GALVIN at No. 130 Main street west, and according to the bartender, he asked for a glass of hot whisky. While the bartender was getting the hot water, KRUSE is alleged to have fallen to the floor. GALVIN heard the man fall and came downstairs. He and George KING, of No. 18 Elizabeth street, placed the man in a chair. KRUSE got up and tried to walk to the bar, but fell again. He managed to get upon his feet without help, however, and walked out to the street. Once outside he fell with much violence to the walk.

GALVIN and KING ran outside and carried the man back into the saloon. He appeared to be dazed. The ambulance of the City Hospital was summoned and he was removed to that institution.

Patrolman HOHMAN learned of the man's condition and went to the saloon. He was told that KRUSE had appeared to be intoxicated. Sergeant KLEIN later learned that KRUSE had a fracture of the skull, and he began an investigation. It was found that KRUSE roomed at BROWN'S hotel in Main street west. The police do not think the man was injured at the hands of another person.

Mr. GREEN said last night that he knew very little of the man. He said KRUSE had told him that at one time he lived at Covington, Ky., and that he had a brother in Evansville, Ind. The latter is a druggist.

The slight cold contracted by WILLIS developed into pleurisy, and he was taken to the St. James Mercy Hospital last night upon the recommendation of Dr. B. C. WAKELY.

HIS FREEDOM SHORT.  Henry JOHNSON Arrested as He Leaves Penitentiary – Accused of Stealing Coal.
Freedom for Henry JOHNSON as he left the Monroe county penitentiary was short.  He was arrested at the prison door by Officer McKENNA on a charge of petit larceny.
JOHNSON is accused of obtaining a ton of coal of Frank F. FOLEY on August 14th by false and fraudulent representations.  He is the JOHNSON who in August did a lot of trading in Corinthian and nearby streets, promising to swap home-made brooms and corn for groceries and other things.  He secured goods in advance, but failed to return with his farm products.

YELLED POTATOES TOO VOCIFEROUSLY.  Because he was yelling too vociferously late yesterday afternoon while trying to sell potatoes in Hudson avenue, Frank JEFFORDS was arrested by Policeman McMAHON.  He was released on $2 bail which was forfeited when he failed to appear in police court this morning.

FIRE ON STATE STREET.  Leaky Gas Jet Causes Blaze Which Damages Stock of Dress Goods.
A leaky gas jet was responsible for a fire in the dry goods store of Lester OLSAN, 256 State street, shortly after 6 o’clock last evening, which did damage estimated at $100.  An alarm of fire from box 272 summoned Chief Little and downtown companies and for a few minutes the firemen had a hard fight.  The stock of goods was new, having been placed in the store only a few days before.   The goods were piled on a shelf in paper boxes and a flame from a defective gas jet caused the fire.
Damage estimated at $200 was done to the house of Max BERGER, 78 Woodbury street, early yesterday morning.  The fire was caused by Mrs. BERGER dropping a lighted lamp which she was carrying.

NAVY ROOKIES. The following new recruits have been enlisted and sworn in at the local recruiting station:  W. N. QUACKENBUSH and L. L. SAXTON of this city; F.J. BURNS of Buffalo; Eugene GENO, Spencerport, and T.J. MURPHY of Corning/

CLAIMS HE WAS ROBBED.  Complaint was made to the police last night by Frank DEHN, 5 Bessie place, that he was robbed of $11.75 in a saloon at St. Paul and Franklin streets.  Detective SHAYNE is investigating the case but has not yet learned who robbed DEHN.  It is said the latter fell asleep in the saloon and missed the money when he awoke.

AUTO STRUCK BY CAR.  An automobile driven by F.H. ELTER of Hollenbeck street, in which in addition to the driver were John TINES of Clinton avenue north and his two sisters, Misses Theresa and Anna TINES, was run down last night by a trolley car at the intersection of Hudson avenue and Clifford street and Miss Anna TINES received a bad injury to her right shoulder.  The auto was wrecked.

FRANK O. TODD.  Frank O. TODD, Democratic candidate for supervisor from the town of Henrietta, is a native of Monroe county, having been born in Brighton 49 years ago.  Twenty-three years ago he removed to Henrietta where he has since resided.  Although never seeking political honors, Mr. TODD has held office before, being the first highway commissioner to serve under the money system.  So acceptably did he fulfill the duties of that office that a renomination was offered him, but declined.  Mr. TODD is a past master of Henrietta lodge, 526, F and A, M., and is at present serving his second term as a master of Henrietta Grange, No. 817.

W.B. SMITH APPOINTED.  ROCHESTER MAN MADE EXAMINER IN STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.  A dispatch to the Union from Albany says: “William B. SMITH of Rochester was to-day appointed as examiner in the state insurance department at a salary of $2,000 a year.”

BODY IDENTIFIED.  Man Who Dropped Dead on Exchange Street Was Gotthard WERNER of Weaver Street. 
The body of the man who dropped dead yesterday afternoon in front ot the entrance to the Wilder Building has been identified as that of Gotthard WERNER, 73 years old, of 24 Weaver street.  Coroner KLEINDIENST, who has charge of the case, has not yet decided whether or not an autopsy will be necessary to determine the cause of death. 
The identification was made this morning by Charles WERNER, a son-in-law of the deceased, who appeared at the morgue and said that Captain KLUBERTANZ of the Fourth precinct had told him to go to the morgue to look at the body of the man who died suddenly yesterday afternoon, to see whether or not it was that of his father-in-law, who did not return home last night
The body was shown WERNER and he recognized it immediately.  He was then told by the coroner to return to his home, and to learn from the old man’s wife whether or not he had been afflicted with any chronic ailment.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.    James M. EMMONS, of Brighton, will face a charge of assault before Justice of the Peace HOWARD next Tuesday.  EMMONS is alleged to have lifted his cane to a tenant upon his farm.

HORRIBLE METHOD OF SUICIDE.  Mrs. Elizabeth MARTIN of Webster Jumps Into Caldron of Burning Oil. 
Elizabeth, wife of Andrew N. MARTIN of Webster, N.Y., committed suicide yesterday afternoon in a most horrible manner.  Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified and is investigating the case.  A certificate will probably be granted as there seems to be but little question that Mrs. MARTIN was insane when she committed the rash act.
Shortly after 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon, Mrs. MARTIN took a dust pan and broom and went to the barn saying that she intended to sweep up the beans lying about on the floor.  Later her daughter Ethel and her sister, Miss HERMANS, noticed smoke arising from the rear of the barn.  An investigation was immediately made and they were horrified to find the body of Mrs. MARTIN in a caldron of burning oil.
The woman had obtained a large amount of oil and had placed it in a large butchering kettle back of the barn.  Some wood and pieces of paper were added and a match was applied.  When the oil was blazing, Mrs. MARTIN jumped into the caldron.
When the fire was discovered the body was burned beyond recognition.  John D. MARTIN, who was at work nearby was notified by telephone and he hastened to the scene and extinguished the flames.  The body was later removed to the rooms of one of the village undertakers.
Mrs. MARTIN was 45 years old, and is survived by her husband, Andrew N. MARTIN; seven children, Ethel, Raymond, Nina, Harland, Stanley, Stuart and Emma; a sister, Miss Mary HERMANS, and two brothers, Lewis and Henry HERMANS, of Bridgeport, N.Y.
Mrs. MARTIN had been ill for a long time and had been constantly watched.  She had been at the Owego Sanitarium for about two months this summer and was apparently much improved.  Her mind, however, was affected and it is quite probable that for some time she had contemplated suicide because she was despondent over her physical condition.

KINSEY A. WIDENER.  Pioneer Settler In This Section Passes Away After a Long Illness.
Kinsey A. WIDENER, one of the pioneer settlers in this section of the country, died this morning at the home of his son, Assistant District Attorney Howard H. WIDENER, 149 Warwick avenue, after an illness of seven weeks.  Besides Mr. WIDENER one sister, Mrs. Blanch BRUSIE, of Lyndonville, N.Y., still survives.  The funeral will be held on Monday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the Widener homestead in the town of Chili.  Interment will be in the family plot in Grove Place cemetery.
Kinsey A. WIDENER was born on April 22, 1822 in Chili and lived there for the greater part of the time during the remainder of his life.  He received his education in the public schools and in the old Rochester Collegiate Institute.  He taught school for fourteen years and was later elected superintendent of schools in his native town.
In 1848 he married Mary R. PHILLIPS.  Mrs. WIDENER died in 1902.  Since that time Mr. WIDENER has lived at the old homestead during the summer and has spent most of the winters with his son in this city.
On the last day of August, Mr. WIDENER and his brother were both stricken with apoplexy.  The brother lived but two days.  Mr. WIDENER was brought to this city and for a time it appeared as if he might survive.  Lately, however, his condition took a turn for the worse and he continued to sink until he died at 7 o’clock this morning.

STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION.  Ernest KRUSE at City Hospital Suffering From Fractured Skull.  
Ernest KRUSE, who was taken to the City Hospital early yesterday morning from GALVIN’S Hotel, at 130 Main street west, is still hovering between life and death, with the chances slightly against recovery.  He is in an unconscious condition and probably will remain so until the end.  In the meantime the coroner and the police are anxiously awaiting a return to consciousness, even for a brief interval, to enable an explanation to be made as to the manner in which the man obtained his injuries.
The police have made an investigation and have listened to the stories of those who were with the man at BROWN’S Hotel at 116 Main street west, where he had a room.  As a result the police detailed on the case have come to the conclusion that KRUSE received a fractured skull from the fall while in the bar-room of the hotel; that he either struck his head on the bar or on the iron foot rail.
The surgeon at the hospital on the other hand is of the opinion that it would be impossible for the man to have received a fracture of the skull from a fall.  There is a long depression on the man’s skull over the fracture in a place where it would seem to be next to impossible for a falling person to strike.
Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified of the affair yesterday by the hospital authorities, and remained in readiness to go to the hospital to take an ante-mortem statement in case the man recovered consciousness.

NEWSPAPER OWNERS GO TO COURT.  FORMER EDITOR OF EVENING TIMES WOULD INSPECT CONCERN’S BOOKS.  APPLICATION IS MADE FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS TO PERMIT EXAMINATION OF RECORDS.  S. Powell PUFFER and John E. MOREY Differ As to Matter - - Decision Reserved. –
Justice SAWYER of the Supreme Court has before him the application of S.Powell PUFFER, former managing editor and secretary of the Evening Times company, for a writ of peremptory mandamus to compel the directors of the Times company to permit the petitioner to inspect the books and records of the company with an expert accountant.  Decision is looked for within a few days, the motion having been argued yesterday afternoon by Charles VAN VOORHIS in behalf of Mr. PUFFER and James S. HAVENS, representing the directors of the company, who appeared in opposition to the motion.
In the petition of Mr. PUFFER it is set forth that the capital stock of the Evening Times Company is $50,000, divided into 500 shares of the par value of $100 each, and that he is the owner and holder of 176 shares of the stock.  John E. MOREY is the owner of 264 shares, Guy W. ELLIS and Howard W. SHANNON each own 25 shares, and County Treasurer John B. HAMILTON and William THOMPSON are the owners of 5 shares each.  John E. MOREY is president of the corporation and was treasurer until October 2, 1907, when he was succeeded by Howard SHANNON. 
Further it is alleged that Mr. PUFFER was editor-in-chief of the Evening Times until September 16th, when, he alleges, he was discharged by John E. MOREY, general manager.  On September 25th, it is set forth, Mr. PUFFER called at the Times office in company with an expert accountant and asked for permission to examine the books.  Mr. MOREY refused to permit the books to be placed in the hands of the accountant for an examination, but said that Mr. PUFFER might personally examine the books.  Later the petitioner, through his attorney, Charles VAN VOORHIS, asked Mr. MOREY to submit
monthly statements of the condition of the business of the corporation from January 1, 1907, and also a statement for the six months beginning January 1st and ending July 1, 1907.  At first, according to the allegations, Mr. MOREY seemed disposed to furnish the statements and said that he would require a few hours to have them prepared.  Later, the general manager of the company said he would give the statements within the statutory time.
After setting forth his unfamiliarity with bookkeeping wherefore he declares an examination of the company's books by an expert is necessary, Mr. PUFFER in his
petition says:
"The circulation of the newspaper within the last few months has decreased from
25,000 copies daily to 23,000, and the petitioner is under grave apprehension that the business of the corporation has not been properly managed, but is firmly convinced that if the business of the corporation had been and was being properly conducted the corporation would be in an easy financial condition."
It is also alleged in the petition that the Evening Times Company has a bonded indebtedness of $40,000, secured by a mortgage upon all its property and assets, and that Mr. PUFFER is informed that in addition to a bonded indebtedness of about $25,000 unsecured, and an indebtedness of about $4,000 on linotype machines and on the press, which is secured by chattel mortgage upon the linotype machines and press, the assets do not greatly exceed the liabilities. 
The alleged failure of the corporation to file with the secretary of state annual reports, as required by law, is give attention, and it is explained that Mr. PUFFER has never been familiar with the business management of the affairs of the corporation, having devoted his time and attention to the editorial management.
In urging the motion Mr. VAN VOORHIS referred to the answering affidavits in the case which he alleged contained matter that was scandalous, improper and had nothing to do with the issue.  Mr. VAN VOORHIS asked that these portions of the affidavits be struck out.  Continuing Mr. VAN VOORHIS said:
"They deny that the petitioner is unfamiliar with the bookkeeping or the affairs of the corporation.  Under the law a director has an absolute right to have an accountant examine books of a corporation.  There is practically no issue.  They have put into the answering papers a matter that has nothing to do with the issue, a private matter of personal conduct, for a purpose which looks like blackmail.  I ask that the court read the affidavits before they are made a part of the record.”
Mr. HAVENS, in reply to Mr. VAN VOORHIS, said the actual question at issue is whether “this extraordinary application to examine the books of this corporation has been made in good faith.  I will not disclose anything in my statements that are improper.  The papers show that Mr. PUFFER was managing editor of the paper until September 30th; that during that time he was in the office each day and was entirely familiar with the affairs of the corporation.
“These things being undisputed, it would seem proper for me to show the circumstances under which he left.  He claims that he was discharged.  When I say that, this application is not made to show the circumstances in as mild a manner as possible.  However, I deny that there is any effort to blackmail.  I want to call your Honor’s attention to the gist of the moving petition,:
Further Mr. HAVENS read sections from the answering affidavits, omitting the parts objected to by Mr. VAN VOORHIS.  In the affidavit of John E. MOREY, it is admitted that every stockholder should have access to the books of the company, that he had refused to permit an expert accountant to examine the books and that the petitioner’s statements as to circulation are substantially correct.  It is denied, in Mr. MOREY”S affidavit, that Mr. PUFFER was discharged, that the assets of the company do not greatly exceed the liabilities, that the corporation is not now in easy financial condition and that the petitioner has any cause for grave apprehension.  It is further alleged that Mr. PUFFER was admitted to partnership November 1, 1901, without paying anything for his interest, promising to devote his time and interest to the business.  Later he was elected secretary and had access to the records and monthly statements of the company and should be able to understand the system of bookkeeping in vogue at the Times office.  Mr. MOREY also says the tangible assets of the paper are in excess of the liabilities and that since April 29th, when the other daily papers of the city reduced their price to 1 cent per copy, the circulation has decreased but is now increasing and the company is able to meet all obligations.
Mr. HAVENS explained that he had advised Mr. MOREY that he had thirty days in which to furnish the statements demanded by Mr. VAN VOORHIS, and that the statements would be forthcoming before that time.  Reports were not filed with the secretary of state, he said, because no one believed it necessary to do so, and it would cause inconvenience to have an expert accountant at work upon the books, which are constantly in use.
Affidavits supporting Mr. MOREY’S were submitted by Howard W. SHANNON and John B. HAMILTON, who say they believe the management of the Times is all right.   ks
