DRINK AND DEATH
The Suicide of a Man Near Lyons Yesterday
Charles DANGLER, a worthless specimen of humanity, suicided yesterday in his own home, about two miles south-east
of Lyons. For several days past DANGLER has been beastly intoxicated and upon entering the house yesterday morning
his actions towards his wife and family of little children were such that they took refuge with a neighbor some
distance away. There they awaited the departure of the infuriated husband and father that they might return and
finish their morning's work. Noon came and nothing had been seen or heard of the suicide. A neighbor ventured into
the house and upon ascending to the second floor discovered the lifeless remains. DANGLER had hung himself with
a common rope, fastening it by passing it through a hole in the ceiling to the floor above. His feet just touched
the floor when cut down by Coroner LIVINGSTON, of Clyde, who arrived about the middle of the afternoon. Nothing
definite has yet been heard of the officials course, but it is presumed that he will grant a burial permit without
the formality of an inquest. Deceased was about 50 years of age.

GENESEE
A murderous affray took place Sunday night about two miles south of the village of LeRoy. Two young Irishmen named
Thomas HARRIS and Daniel DONOVAN, having become intoxicated at the house of one William DOUGHERTY, fell out with
each other and repaired to DOUGHERTY'S backyard to settle their difficulties. Here they indulged in mutual abuse
until HARRIS, growing thoroughly enraged, picked up a large piece of coal and threw it with great force at DONOVAN.
The latter received the missile in the center of his forehead and fell to the ground as if shot. The assailant
as soon as he saw the mischief he had done, made off as fast as his legs would carry him, while the companions
of DONOVAN picked up his insensible body and carried it into the DOUGHERTY house. Messengers were sent for priest
and doctor as soon as possible and both of these gentlemen arrived in due time. Dr. F. L. STONE, the physician
called, made an examination of the injured man when he arrived at the house, and found that there was a severe
cut on the forehead about two inches long, which exposed the skull. The bone was not fractured, but severe concussion
of the brain had resulted from the blow. He will probably recover, although his chances at present seem very slender.
No sympathy is expressed for DONOVAN by anyone. He is considered a bad man, has been connected with numerous disreputable
rows, and has graced the cells of the village lock-up many times. HARRIS, it is said, is rather underwitted and
not entirely responsible for his acts.

DEATH ON THE RAIL
John McGuire Killed on the Rochester and Pittsburg Road.
Yesterday morning there occurred a serious accident on the Rochester and Pittsburg road, at Scottsville. The mixed
or local freight, which leaves this city at 8:35 o'clock each morning; had orders to cut out the head car, a flat
loaded with railroad iron at that station. The head breakman, without consulting the conductor, made arrangements
with the engineer to "fly" the car instead of cutting it off and backing in from the end of the switch.
The car was detached and sent in at a lively rate of speed. The conductor not knowing of this plan, did not order
the hind brakes set and the train came on. The car which was cut off did not clear the main track, and a consequence
there was a collision in which these gondolas and three flat cars were piled high in the air. Upon running up the
conductor and brakeman were horrified to find John McGuire, the head brakeman, lying out of the wreck, but in a
dying condition. He lived but a few moments. McGUIRE was an Irishman by birth, about twenty- five years of age,
and resided at Gainesville, with his parents. His mother was telegraphed for and arrived on the first train. When
the news of the wreck reached this city the wrecking train was sent from Lincoln park, accompanied by Chief Dispatcher
H. S. HENDERSON, who superintended the clearing up of the wreck. Coroner JONES, who had been telegraphed for, left
for Scottsville on the 4:12 o'clock train. He impaneled a jury and heard considerable evidence in the case. He
will continue the case this afternoon, when a verdict will be arrived at. The body of McGUIRE was sent to Gainsville
last night by train No. 3.

DEATH OF DR. COWLES
Dr. Burt G. COWLES, house physician at the City Hospital, died in that institution yesterday afternoon, after an
illness of but two days in duration. Dr. COWLES had become known to but few of our citizens, but his bright talents,
his rare professional promise and his amiable disposition, together with the circumstances of his death, render
his loss one of a peculiarly distressing character. He was a native of Otisco, Onondaga county, and his family
is one of the best known and highly respected in that section of the state. His preliminary education was obtained
in the schools of his native county. He early showed a decided partiality for medical studies, and was graduated,
with the highest honors, as the medical college of the Syracuse university with the class of 1882. He had projected
an elaborate scheme of study, embracing a year of hospital practice in this country, to be followed by a prolonged
residence abroad. Cordially recommended by the faculty of the Syracuse college, he was appointed house physician
in the Rochester City hospital, and entered upon his duties there about a month ago. He had thoroughly recommended
himself to the visiting physicians by his skill and by his engaging manners had endeared himself not only to them,
but also to all who came within the range of his acquaintance. His sudden death has brought grief to many hearts,
for it forecloses brilliant professional prospects and removes one who was more than ordinarily beloved. The writer
of this insufficient notice had the privilege of becoming well acquainted with Dr. COWLES, during several weeks
spent with him at a sea-side resort, and had noted his enthusiasm in his profession, and his excellent qualifications
for success therein, but more than this had come to highly esteem him for his lovely traits and unsullied purity
of character and for the unstudied graces of his manner which gave him a popularity as singular as it was deserved.
Dr. COWLES had just attained his majority. His body has been taken to Onondaga county for burial.

Mr. and Mrs. HARGOUS, governess, nurse and servants, left Pittsford on Friday for New York.
Quite a serious accident happened to Mr. John F. McPHERSON of Wheatland, a few days ago. Being away from home a
few days, upon his return not finding any of his family at the depot to meet him he secured a ride with a neighbor.
While near a bridge that crosses Allen's creek in the village of Mumford, the horses started, pitching the back
seat of the democrat wagon upon which Mr. McPHERSON was sitting to the ground. He was picked up and was found to
be somewhat hurt, was taken to his home and put to bed. The following day his son, Dr. D. F. McPHERSON arriving
home from Europe, found upon examination that his father's hip was broken, much to the surprise of the family,
who did not think his injuries severe enough to call a physician. It will be some time before Mr. McPHERSON will
