Francesco BIANCA, 20 years old, was arrested yesterday afternoon by
Detectives ELLIOTT. McDONALD and SHAYNE, on a charge of grand larceny in the
second degree. With him was Carmela PAPPACENA, 17 years old a pretty girl of
Syracuse, who is wanted there on a charge of being an ungovernable child.
BIANCA is accused of stealing $150 from a fellow countryman. The Syracuse
authorities may prefer additional charges of rape and abduction against the
young man.
BIANCA has a sister in Rochester and has lived
here. On December 4th Pasquale TOMASSI, of No. 213 Allen street, complained
to the police that BIANCA had stolen his money at midnight and gone away.
The men had roomed together. Detective ELLIOTT traced BIANCA to Boston, to
Quincy, and back to Albany, where the man disappeared.
It appears that about New Year's he went to
Syracuse, where he met Carmela, who promptly became infatuated with him. He
gave her $50, which was more money than she ever had before. The girl
lived with her father, Salvatore PAPPACENA, at No. 623 Burner street,
Syracuse. BIANCA persuaded her to elope with him, and they came to Rochester on
February 15th. They went to a house on Murray street, where they introduced
themselves as husband and wife, and were arrested there yesterday afternoon.
At headquarters the girl made a clean breast of the
affair and said she was anxious to marry BIANCA. He expressed willingness to
marry her. An officer from Syracuse will be after the girl to-day. TOMASSI
will press the grand larceny charge.

Well Known Genevan Is Object Of
Search
Louis Stauff, Sr., Suddenly
Disappears
Geneva, Feb. 23 - Relatives and
friends of Louis STAUFF, Sr., are anxious because of his strange
disappearance, and some persons think that there has been foul play or
that while temporarily deranged Mr. STAUFF has done away with himself. Mr.
STAUFF for the past ten years had been superintendent of the S. K. Nester
malt house and was employed there for the past thirty-three years. He was
also well known because of his connection with the Geneva Fire Department,
of which he was assistant chief for several years. He was a member of the
Nester Hose.
Mr.
STAUFF last week opened the Palm Hotel, and since that time, more
particularly, he was noticed to act strangely. Mr. STAUFF yesterday
removed from his late residence at No. 33 Exchange street to the Palm
Hotel, and last night he left his wife in their apartments and went away,
no one knows where.
After
making a thorough search of the city last night the police decided this
morning to search the canal in the vicinity of the malt house and the
Patent Cereal works, and searching parties were organized and the canal
and harbor dragged until this afternoon.

Absence Of Criminal Cases Seems
Probable
At Adjourned Term of County Court
of Yates
Penn Yan, Feb. 23 - From present
indications it is probable that there will be no cases of a criminal
nature tried at the adjourned term of County Court, which will open next
Monday.
The
dismissal of the indictment against Joseph HARRINGTON by County Judge
BAKER ends the prosecution of that case, unless an appeal is taken to the
Appellate Division and granted. It is said to be improbable that a
conviction could be obtained of Howland SNYDER, charged with burglary and
larceny, because of the death of the complaining witness. Frank R.
JENKINS, the complainant in the forgery charge against a young woman here,
is said to be ill, and Alice CONNELL may not be tried in County Court.
Only one other indictment remains, and the indicted one's where-abouts are
unknown to anyone here. It is against the man arrested for burglarising a
boarding house at Dresden.

BRAVE RESCUE OF SMALL SKATER
Factory Foreman Drags Boy from Water of Irondequoit Bay
Valentine DOZER, a small boy who lives in Bay street, owes his life
to the presence of mind and bravery of William A. KUNZ, a foreman at the
Bausch & Lomb factory, who dragged the DOZER boy from a perilous place
in Irondequoit bay Monday. KUNZ was on a hunting trip which brought him
near Float Bridge, when he heard cries for help which proceeded from
somewhere near the bridge. He found struggling in the water a boy who had
broken through the ice.
KUNZ found a pole and extended it to the boy, who
grasped it, but was too exhausted to be able to retain his hold.
At this, KUNZ seeing a boat near, shoved the
craft across the ice and succeeded in reaching the place where the lad was
struggling. He pushed the bow of the boat into the open water and dragged
the boy aboard. Immediately thereafter the boat capsized and both
occupants were thrown into the water, KUNZ managed to get the boy to a
place of safety on the ice. He then crawled out and brought the
unconscious boy to the shore.

BROOMSTICK BEAT REVOLVER
Old Man Says He Chased Masked Robber Out of His House
George STECKMEIER, 78 years old, reported to District Attorney WIDENER and
Sheriff GILLETTE yesterday morning that a young man forced his way into
his house about midnight Monday, held him up with a revolver and demanded
money. STECKMEIER says he grabbed a broomstick and attacked the intruder
and that his wife's screams scared the bandit away. George FONTE and Hugh
CLARK, neighbors, responded to Mrs. STECKMEIER's cries and followed the
would-be thief's footprints to the New York Central tracks.
The STECKMEIER home is at Sand Ridge and Chili
roads, a mile east of Chili Center. The old man is building houses and it
is surmised the crook judged from that circumstance that he had
considerable money on hand. STECKMEIER says his assailant is red-haired
and wore a black mask, red handkerchief and long coat. The neighbors
suspect a man known in the neighborhood.
Detective BAUER, of the District-Attorney's
office, and Deputy Sheriff Albert HAIGHT, of Chili, worked on the case
