DROWNED IN CONESUS LAKE
Michael McLaughlin Tipped Out While Trolling - Body Recovered
Livonia, Sept. 30 — Wednesday evening Benjamin ODELL and Michael McLAUGHLIN took a small boat and went trolling
for pickerel on the west side of Conesus lake, about a mile above Long Point. ODELL was rowing and McLAUGHLIN was
holding the line, when the boat took a tip and upset in a way that ODELL says he cannot account for, and McLAUGHLIN
suddenly disappeared. ODELL, who is a good swimmer, stayed for some time in the water hoping to help McLAUGHLIN,
but the night was dark and he saw nothing of him after he first left the boat. The neighbors immediately rallied
and looked for the body all night, but it was not found until noon to-day. The grappling irons brought it up in
water forty feet deep, near the shore. The west banks of Conesus lake are very uncertain and uneven and have caused
the death of a good many persons within the memory of the old inhabitants. McLAUGHLIN has been married but about
a year and leaves a wife and a child.

and deportment.
A novel way of amputating a finger was illustrated in Honeoye Falls Wednesday afternoon, in this wise: John McCARTHY,
a little boy of nine years, while hitching his horse, in some manner got his finger entangled in the hitching strap
and post ring, when the horse suddenly jerked his head upward, severing completely the second finger of the left
hand at the first joint. Dr. BENNETT was on hand and dressed the member, which the little fellow bravely stood.
Harry ALLEN and Charles OTIS bade goodbye to their friends at Honeoye Falls on Wednesday evening. The destination

scars he will be all right.
The late Dr. DAGGETT, who, for over twenty years, was the beloved pastor of the Congregational church in Canandaigua
was the author of the beautiful poem in October Scribner's, entitled, "There is a Natural Body." The
occurrence of the author's death, immediately after the transmission of the piece to the press and before its issue
to the public, gives a peculiarly striking significance to its sentiment of assurance that death does not end all.
Three young ruffians, aged from fifteen to eighteen years, all wearing masks, entered by a window the residence
of Mrs. DOUGLASS, on Jackson street, Geneva, last Saturday night. They went to her room, tried to overpower her
and take the rings from her fingers, but she made a desperate struggle and succeeded in frightening them away.
In the struggle one of the masks became disarranged and she thought she recognized the face behind it. On Tuesday
she swore out a warrant for young boy named DUNN, who was tried and convicted and sent to the M. C. P. at Rochester.
When behind the bars he will have more time to reflect on the life which he has begun.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
A Rochester Young Man Killed at Batavia Last Night
One of those sad fatal accidents which are so apt to be caused by a little lack of care, on the railroad, occurred
at Batavia last night, and a Rochester young man was the victim. His name is John QUIGLEY, and he is a son of Thomas
QUIGLEY, the carpenter who resides at 43 Campbell street in this city. Intelligence of the accident that had befallen
him reached his friends in this city about 11 o'clock last night, and just before 1 o'clock this morning a telegram
came to them announcing his death. It appears that he went west last evening on a freight train bound for Buffalo.
He has been a brakeman on the Falls division of the Central road, but was in company with Ferry BANER of this city,
going last night to commence braking on the emigrant train, coming east to-day and then going west again on the
following day. He went on the freight to Batavia. There he got off and walked around for a little while. After
the train had again started west he ran and attempted to board the caboose by jumping upon the front platform.
But the train was moving too fast, it seems, and he missed his hold, falling upon the track so that one of his
legs was run over and cut off by the rear wheels of the caboose. He also received internal injuries and some about
the head, so that he died about midnight, two hours after the accident had occurred.
John QUIGLEY was twenty-eight years old, and he leaves three other brothers — one of them, Thomas QUIGLEY, at employe
at Fahy's, 64 State street; also a sister — Mrs. George MASSOTH? When the telegram was received this morning, Thomas
QUIGLEY, jr., and George MASSOTH? Went west on the Black Rock freight. They will probably return with the body
on the first morning train from Batavia.
The friends and neighbors of the family will unite with them in mourning the loss of such a worthy son, brother
and fellow-man as John QUIGLEY.

DROVE OFF WITH HIS BUGGY
A Sunday Excursion with Another Man's Team
A man named Fred WRIGHT, drove to the Sea Breeze yesterday afternoon. On his return he stopped at a farm house
about midway between the Sea Breeze and the Forrest house. He thought of the propensity of Sea Breeze excursionists
to appropriate teams for pleasure drives and so hitched the horse in the stable yard. But some bee- hives were
near by and the bees worried the horse. He was compelled to hitch him by the roadside. About 7 o'clock, when he
desired to start home, he discovered that the team was missing. He ran to the Forrest house to catch the train
for the city in order that he might notify the police. They told him at the Forrest that two young fellows had
been observed a few minutes before, driving past in a buggy similar to the one he described. One wore a cap and
the other a light hat. Mr. WRIGHT got to police headquarters too late to notify the night force. He describes the
team as a chestnut mare and Surrey top buggy. The mare's tail is whipped off square. In the buggy were a lady's
shawl and a light overcoat. WRIGHT's address is 30 Geneseo street. It is evident that is another instance of the
annoying unwarranted appropriations of other peoples teams which have occurred so frequently this summer. It is
to be hoped that, not only the team will be speedily recovered, but the culprits arrested and severely punished.
The team was seen by a man on North avenue about 8 o'clock. Two men were driving it at full speed.

DEATH OF GOODWIN STODDAED
Saturday morning, at 2 o'clock, occurred the death of Goodwin STODDARD, late of Brighton, in the sixtieth year

youthful days. Later in life he became connected with Captain JONES in the ship building business at Buffalo. He
served as assessor for several years, and was for some time connected with N. B. ELLISON in the boot and shoe business.
Mr STODDARD always took an active part in all duties that came within the province of a public spirited citizen,
and possessed more commendable quality than usually fall to the lot of mankind. The funeral will take place from
his late residence at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Friends are invited to attend.

DEATH OF EDWIN SCRANTOM
Edwin SCRANTOM, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Rochester, died in this city on Sunday October 3d,
at the advanced age of seventy-seven years. He was a native of Durham, Connecticut, and with his father came to
Rochester in 1812. The families from which he descended emigrated from the counties of Kent and Surry, in England,
and settled in Guilford, Connecticut, in 1869.
The family was one of the most enterprising and respected of the early settlers of New England. Hamlet SCRANTOM,
the father of Edwin, after leaving Connecticut resided some time in Turin, Lewis county, in this state, where he
held the office of justice of the peace, and for a time was one of the judges of the county court. When he came
to Rochester there were only two or three log houses in the settlement, and he built the first log house that was
erected on the west side of the river, which was located on the spot where Power's commercial building now stands.
Subsequently he purchased a farm near Mount Hope, embracing a part of the land now owned and occupied by ELWANGER
& BARRY, covered by their extensive nurseries. It was on this farm that Edwin SCRANTOM grew to manhood. Hamlet
SCRANTOM's family consisted of eight children, three of whom are now living and are residents of this city, viz:
Hamlet SCRANTOM, Mrs. Jehial BARNARD and Miss Mary Jane SCRANTOM.
Edwin SCRANTOM, the subject of this notice, in his youth learned the printing business, which he continued to follow
until 1835. He then engaged in the auctioneer and commission business, and as a commission merchant was popular
and successful. He also did a large business in collecting and remitting money to Great Britain and the continent,
discharging every duty and obligation with the strictest fidelity. In this occupation he continued until a few
years ago, when he retired from active commercial pursuits.
With the struggles, successes and failures of the early printers and newspaper publishers of Rochester, he was
perfectly familiar, and often in his later years would recount them to younger men of the profession for their
instruction and encouragement. With his early associates, and with those who learned the printer's trade in his
employ, he always while he and they lived, kept up the most friendly relations. (Didn't get rest of article)

RESCUED FROM THE CANAL
A very narrow escape from death occurred at the West Main street swing bridge, yesterday afternoon. The canal boat,
"TAYLOR," was passing through and the captain was on the towpath, guiding the rope over the railings.
The mules pulled suddenly and he was switched into the canal. The boat was within a foot and a half or two feet
of the bank. He was in a very precarious condition. A swing of the boat would crush him, or if he went below the
surface he would never come up alive. William BUTTON, who was standing near by, saw the imminent danger and in
an instant ran to his rescue. He caught him just at the right time and landed him safely on the bank. It was a
praise worthy act, well done.

OBITUARY
Zimri DANLY, an old and respected citizen of Charlotte, and a member of the board of trustees of that village,
died at his residence there on Sunday last. Deceased was about sixty-five years of age. For the greater portion
of the past year he had been confined to his home by a disease of the kidneys, to which he finally succumbed. The
funeral ceremonies took place from his residence at Charlotte yesterday, and were largely attended. On account
of Mr. DANLY's death a special meeting of the board of trustees was held last evening at which the following resolutions
were passed:
Whereas, it has pleased an all wise Providence to remove from our midst our friend and fellow-worker, Zimri DANLY,
a member of this board and a man universally respected by our citizens; and Whereas, In the death of Zimri DANLY,
we feel that our village has lost one of her most upright and honest citizens, and we a warm, personal friend;
therefore
Resolve, That we, the members of this board, extend to the family of our deceased brother our sincere sympathy
in their bereavement, and the clerk of this board is hereby directed to forward a copy of these resolutions to
the family of the deceased.
****
DEATH OF JOHN MENZIE
John MENZIE, an influential, widely-known and esteemed citizen of Riga, died on Sunday evening last at his residence
in that town, in the seventy-eighth year of his age. He was a son of Robert MENZIE, one of the early settlers of
that town, when it was known as West Pultney. John MENZIE was contented to live as a private citizen, but he exerted
a wide and beneficent influence for good among the old and young in the neighborhood where he had lived as boy
and man for sixty-five years. He was one of the founders of the United Presbyterian church at Beulah, and in his
early life practiced and lived up to his professions of Christianity. His death was peaceful and calm, befitting
the serene even life he had passed during the years allotted to him on earth, and occurred on the evening of Sabbath
day — the day he had reverently observed and kept holy from his youth.
"Sure the last end of this good man is peace." How calm his exit. Night dew fall not more calmly on the
ground, nor weary, worn out winds expire so softly. His wife died in 1864. He leaves six children — three sons
and three daughters to mourn his loss, but he has left to them the record of a well-spent and useful life, and
their memories of him will be, that he was an indulgent and affectionate father. John MENZIE will be missed by
the church of which he was a consistent and influential member by his family, to whom he was so devoted and kind,
and by the neighborhood, who regarded him as so safe a counselor and so true and unflinching a friend. His funeral
will be held this afternoon at 1 o'clock, from his late residence.

Four runaways to chronicle for Monday at Honeoye Falls. One very serious runaway occurred to Mr. GOGGINS, a farm
hand of Mrs. S. B. DAVIS. While unloading grain at one of the mills, he stepped out upon the tongue between the
horses to pick up a line that had dropped to the ground, when the horses started on a run, throwing Mr. GOGGINS
under their feet, trampling upon and two wheels passing over him. He was picked up and taken to a physician's,
who found him very badly bruised about the head. It is now expected he will recover. Two chaps on their way from
Rochester to Hemlock Lake with a load of merchandise for the world's fair, about two sheets in the wind (on Hemlock
water, no doubt), collided with a farmer's wagon near the center of the village, which scattered the merchandise
and occupants over the ground. One of the fellows, sprawled out on a pile of stone, calls out: "I say, sir,
don't lose the money." "Naw, I wont," when whack goes a bag of silver against an old carpenter shop.
Some one passing at the time, hearing the noise, procured a lantern and assisted in picking up over $300 in coin.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD
Death by Accident of George Copeland Yesterday
Last Wednesday George COPELAND, aged sixteen years, and living with his mother, who is a widow, at 315 State street,
went on a visit to his uncle's family in the town of Hume, Alleghany county. He and his cousin, Frank MILLS, a
boy about the same age, went out hunting yesterday, and in some manner one of the guns was discharged, the shot
taking effect in young COPELAND's head. He expired almost instantly. As soon as his uncle heard of the sad accident
he started for Pike station, the nearest point on the State Line road and reaching just in time to take the train,
he arrived in Rochester last evening. When the unfortunate mother learned what had happened, she became almost
distracted, and rushing out in the street her cries attracted the attention of all the people in the neighborhood.
Policeman SHOVE coming up did all he could to quite her and led her back into the house. Her family besides the
deceased consists of two sons, twenty-one and eighteen years of age, and two daughters, eleven and seven years
old. The family formerly lived in Hume, where Mr. COPELAND lies buried. Mrs. COPELAND and her brother will start
for Hume this morning on the 6 o'clock train. It is not known when the funeral will take place, but the body will
probably be buried in the cemetery at Hume. The accident took place about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

MATRIMONIAL
Sir: Last evening our pleasant village was again made happy in celebrating the nuptials of one of our most accomplished
and popular daughters. The occasion was the marriage of Miss Ella Shearman HUBBEL, (daughter of our esteemed townsman,
Walter S. HUBBELL) to Frederick Brooks HUBBELL, of Pittsburg, Pa.
The ceremony took place at the residence of the bride, shortly before the arrival of the numerous guests, as is
quite common at large weddings, and was witnessed by the relatives and a limited number of immediate friends.
The officiating clergyman was Dr. James RANKINS of Geneva. The two sisters of the bride, Misses Jennie and Minnie
HUBBELL were the bridesmaids. The groomsmen were Charles PIERSON of Canandaigua, and Charles NORTON of Buffalo,
who also acted as ushers. The bridal party were most charmingly and appropriately attired.
The house was decorated with the choicest flowers and foliage plants profusely intertwined with amflax and displayed
marked taste by the fair ones who had superintended the arrangement. The porches were enclosed with canvas and
illuminated by Chinese lanterns which gave additional room to the already commodious house.
The bridal presents were very numerous and costly and many of them very beautiful. The music was furnished by SCHAICK's
orchestra of Rochester. Among the guests from out of town were Mrs. McCLURE and Miss BROOKS of Pittsburg. Miss
GRAHAM of Buffalo, Mrs. BAIRD and daughter from New Orleans, and Mr. NORTON of Buffalo. The bridal couple departed
on the 10 o'clock train for a tour through eastern cities. This is the third wedding we have celebrated in as many
successive evenings, (Miss WORTH's, Tuesday, and Miss ROBINSON's Wednesday evening) and we understand our wedding
bells are soon to sound again.
