SUNDAY AT THE BEACHES

How Thousands of People Enjoyed Themselves
Yesterday was somewhat cooler than several Sunday's past, nevertheless there was a goodly crowd visited the summer resorts. It was the regulation crowd however, that goes to Charlotte every Sunday, rain or shine, cold or warm, and they all seem to enjoy themselves. Some people who wonder why it is that people --- to go to Ontario Beach every Sunday, - have not been working hard all the week and, consequently, cannot appreciate how good it is to get away from the dusty city for a few hours and get a sniff of the lake air. The crowds yesterday walked, talked, rode in the swan boats — behaved about as usual. The regular West Shore excursion from Buffalo and Syracuse helped to swell the "throngs" It is wonderful what a liking our cousin from the "City of Breezes" have concei--d for Rochester's great summer resorts. The West Shore excursions from Buffalo have been well patronized since their inauguration by our suburban friends. About 200 Canadians came over on the steamer Hastings. To them Ontario Beach was a genuine treat.
   About 4,000 people witnessed the game of ball at Windsor Beach yesterday afternoon. The Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg trains ran at frequent intervals and were well patronized.
   At Sea Breeze there was about the same crowd as usual and the Bay Railway carried a large number of passengers. The Irondequoit Steam Navigation Company's steamers did a good business. The steamer Island Queen was also well patronized and carried a large number to Sn- der's Island and other bay resorts. The -ylvan Stream was well patronized at each trip, likewise the Glen House boats. The Clover Leaf carried many people from the "Rapids" to Westminister Park and return.

A SICK BOY

Ernest Hart Sent to the City Hospital Saturday Night
Ernest HART, a young man, called at the police station Saturday night and asked for lodging. He was directed to a cell by Turnkey STRUBLE. Soon afterward he complained of feeling ill and told his story. He lives in New York city and had been west looking for work. Not finding any he secured a job at Buffalo as driver on a canal boat, and although weak and unable to eat anything, drove as far as Lockport. There he was compelled to leave. The captain of the boat would not pay him anything for the services he had rendered because he did not give a week's notice of his intention to leave. The poormaster at Lockport passed him as far as this city. Detective LYNCH called on Dr. HOARD and told him of the boy's case, and that physician directed that he be sent to the City Hospital. Detective LYNCH took him there.

There will be a Republican pole raising and picnic on the farm of R. S. CHAPIN, in West Bloomfield, on Friday, August 10th, at 2 o'clock. Addresses will be made by Hon. Hanford STRUBLE, of Penn Yan, and Hon. Edwin Hicks, of Canandaigua, and others. Good music will be in attendance and the proceedings will be enlivened by an exciting match game of base ball. The day's pleasure will close with a display of fire works in the evening. A grand time is anticipated.

One night a few weeks since a barn standing at same distance from other buildings owned by Curtis GATES of North Bloomfield, was burned to ashes. To take its place he immediately erected a large and handsome barn near his other buildings, just across the road from his house. Between 12 and 1 o'clock last Saturday morning this new barn, filled with hay and wheat just harvested, was also burned. In this fresh loss there is a widespread sympathy for Mr. GATES, one of the kindest of men, who would far rather suffer than do a wrong, against whom it is hard to conceive nor could any human being harbor a feeling of enmity.

Sunday morning about 7 o'clock a part of the canal bridge situated in Macedon just west of Palmyra fell carrying down six head of Holstein cattle.

One of the pleasantest gatherings of the season occurred at the residence of T. O. JONES in East Henrietta, Thursday P. M., August 2nd, on the occasion of his seventy-first birthday. Guests were in attendance from Rochester and the west, and most of his grandchildren were present, who entertained the company with their vocal and instrumental music, very acceptably.

Willard C. POTTER who had both his legs broken by being thrown from his carriage less than a month ago died at his residence at Honeoye Falls on Thursday night last. The broken limbs were doing well under careful and skillful treatment, but he was attacked by acute disease such as is not uncommon at this season of the year against which he was too weak to rally. He was in his seventieth year, and had been stone-deaf for twenty-five years. His wife lies very low with cancer from which she has been suffering for a long time. His funeral was held on Sunday morning under the auspices of the Monroe Lodge of Honeoye Falls, of which he had been a life-long member.

A beautiful flag bearing the names HARRISON and MORTON was thrown across the Main street in Wayland on Saturday. It had not been announced as generally as could have been wished, and but few were present. But the lack of numbers and enthusiasm was made up in the evening. The streets were literally thronged with people who came from far and near to listen to a speech from W. H. NICHOLS of Bath, and although the night was pitchy dark, those who came from a distance in the country said they could not regret the ride for they were well paid. The speaker possessed the rare faculty or imparting his enthusiasm to his audience. The intense heat of the day had not abated preceptibly with the coming of night and the speech was given in the open air and fortunately for there would have been danger of the lifting of the house roof by the cheers.

Mrs. BURNHAM and son of Cincinnati are guests at R. W. McFAMEN'S at Dansville.

A horse valued at $200 belonging to WINTERS & PROPHET, of Mt. Morris, died Sunday from the effect of sunstroke Saturday afternoon.

Burt ROWE was married to Miss Hattie HOWELL at the Methodist Episcopal parsonage, Mount Morris, by Rev. W. B. WAGONER, Sunday. The parties are from the Ridge.

During the thunder shower in the Genesee valley Friday night, a school house in the town of Leicester, near Moscow, was struck by lightning and burned to the ground. Loss about $500.

F. D. HORTON of Dansville is still confined to his room from hemorrhage of the lungs, with which he was attacked last week Tuesday, but is improving, and hopes soon to be out again.

There will be no service at the Presbyterian Church at Dansville for the next three weeks, as the pastor, Rev. G. K. WARD has gone to Hemlock Lake with his family for their summer "outing."

Mrs. Margaret BARRETT of Dansville, died at her home on William street last Friday evening, of consumption. Funeral services were held on Monday morning at half past 9 o'clock, from St. Patricks Church, Rev. Father DAY officiating. She leaves a son and daughter, her husband having died some years ago.

Mrs. Permelia ALDRICH ARTMAN, died at the ALDRICH residence on Main street, at Dansville, late on Friday evening of last week, of chronic dyspepsia.

Her funeral was held on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, from her late residence at ARTMAN'S Mills, about a mile southwest of Dansviller.

Never was Hemlock Lake, with its cool, clear water and its thickly wooded shores more attractive than it is this summer; never before did so many tasteful cottages line its banks; never were cottages and boarding-houses more crowded; never was there better fishing. There is a constant inquiry for new building sites from applicants far and near, and the demand for board is much of the time in excess of the accommodations. A novelty for Hemlock this year is the beautiful little private steam yacht Minerva, which T. H. HOLDEN and sons of Honeoye Falls, have added to the equipment of their pleasant cottage, Elmhurst, a little north of the Half-Way House.

IN MEMORY OF FRANKIE O'NEIL

Let your voices be hushed.
For Death has been here;
He has taken the one
Whom of all; was most dear.

None saw him, none heard him,
So softly he sped;
No one saw the dark wings
Bending low o'er the bed.

But the spirit we loved
He swift bore away,
When the night's sable curtains
Were fading to grey.

Yes, Frankie is dead!
The fond heart is stilled;
But her memory lives.
Though her body lies chilled.

Though the cruel death angel
Has stolen the flower,
O'er the perfume it leaves
His hand hath no power.

We will miss the dear face,
We were wont to behold;
It soon will be hid
‘Neath the grave dark and cold!

See how calmly she lies!
Her eyes softly closed;
She looks not like death,
But as if she reposed.

Her hands, white and waxen,
Are crossed on her breast;
Speak softly! Tread lightly!
O! Break not her rest.

On Monday night the house of John ROACH in Junius was robbed of considerable property. The noise was heard by Mr. ROACH but the thieves had secured their booty and made good their escape. Among the property taken were silver spoons, knives and forks and clothing. The thieves also helped themselves to loaves of bread and a large quantity of butter which was ready for market. They had probably conveyed the plunder to a wagon and drove away before an alarm could be given.

An old lady named McNAMARA was savagely attacked by an ugly dog at Waterloo on Tuesday morning. The brute is owned by a neighbor, E. G.

Dr. BELLOWS cared for the woman, whose injuries are very serious.

Mr. PATTERSON, night engineer at the York Salt Shaft, accompanied by his wife were in Caledonia on business that morning, starting to return home, they were driving out of town on the Leicester road, just as they approached the Erie railroad crossing, a train was seen coming at full speed. Mr. PATTERSON endeavored to get his horse across the track, but it stopped still and refused to move. At this stage of affairs the lady jumped from the carriage and escaped unhurt. Not so with her husband. He succeeded in turning his horse around when it began running toward the village, when it reached the corner at Mr. BLACKMAN'S residence the carriage overturned and the man was dragged several ???? across the street. Here the horse ran through a gateway leaving the wreck of the carriage on the fence. It was soon caught in Mr. BLACKMAN'S garden with but a few bruises. Mr. PATTERSON, however, did not fare as well. He was picked up unconscious with a terrible cut in his head. As soon as possible Dr. MENZIE was summoned who dressed the wound and found that one shoulder was dislocated. He was made as comfortable as possible and greatly to the amazement of everyone, later in the day, the lady drove the horse to their home in York, taking her injured husband in the carriage with her.

GENESEE

Monday evening a night-blooming cereus plant belonging to Mrs. W. M. SAGE of Bergen produced two blossoms, which were admired by a good many persons.

Pastor LEWIS of the Bergen Congregational Church left town on Tuesday last with his wife for a vacation of three weeks, which will be spent principally in Deerfield, N. Y. There will be no preaching in the church for three Sundays, but the Sunday-school and the prayer meetings will be held as usual.

Andrew REARON(?) of Bergen, while at work in Pittsburg, Pa., as a telegraph lineman last Monday met his death in the following manner: He was descending a pole on which he had been at work, when his leg came in contact with the electric light wire which was strung on the same pole with the telegraph wires, giving him such a shock that he fell to the pavement, striking on his head and receiving such injuries as to cause his death in a few hours. His body was brought to Bergen and buried on Wednesday. He was 29 years old and unmarried.

The funeral services over the mortal remains of the late Mrs. Dr. Lucina M. TUTTLE of Byron, was attended at her late residence by one of the largest audiences ever convened upon such an occasion in that vicinity. It is estimated that there were from four hundred to five hundred persons present, prompted not by mere curiosity, but by a high appreciation of the worth, character and memory of this noble woman. The services were conducted by Lyman C. HOWE of Fredonia, N. Y. An appropriate song service was furnished by Henry VANDENBURG and daughters, which added much to the interest of the occasion. After a brief introduction, Mr. HOWE uttered a very touching invocation and then proceeded to deliver a most eloquent and masterly funeral oration of over one hour's duration, which held that large audience almost spellbound with interest causing many eyes to overflow with tears of affection for the dear friend who had left us for a higher, a more exalted home. The speaker based his discourse upon the scripture "affirmations," "to die is again" and "God is not a God of the dead, but of the living," illustrating his theme with the conclusion that in reality there is no death but life is continuous forevermore.
He paid a just and glowing tribute to the memory of his friend of truth and of humanity, dwelt upon her great love for children, her kindness of heart and sympathy and helpfulness for the sick and afflicted and attributed this large attendance to the deep hold she had upon the affections of the ‘masses.' That she left with us a most worthy example showing that knowing the truth she had the courage and firmness to walk in the path her conviction pointed out as duty and right, and that she took with her to the higher home the fruitage of the rich experience of a well spent and useful life by which thousands had been blessed here and would meet and bless her "over there." It was a grand and glowing tribute to her real worth and its earnest and touching utterance left few dry eyes in that large audience. The burial took place at the North Byron cemetery. The remains were deposited in a case hardened steel vault which is proof against the vandalism of body snatchers. The brief service at the grave was of a highly appropriate character and concluded a sermon which will long be remembered and cherished with satisfaction to her large circle of relatives and friends.

MORTUARY MATTERS

Death of Rev. John Dennis, D. D. — Other Announcements

Rev. John DENNIS, D. D., died at his home on Grant Park at 11 o'clock last night after an illness of eight days.
Dr. DENNIS was born in Ovid, N. Y., August 29, 1810. His grandfather was a soldier in the war of the Revolution and his father also was a soldier in the war of 1812. He finished his education at the Ovid Academy and entered upon the study of the law. In his twentieth year he was converted and a year later was licensed as an exhorter in the Methodist Episcopal Church and the same year was licensed to preach. In 1833 he traveled the Bath Circuit, traveling about one hundred miles each week, during that time preaching seven or more sermons. In 1834 he supplied the Catharine Circuit. He was admitted to the Genesee conference on trial in 1835 and assigned to Trumansburg. In the following year he was a colleague of John W. NEVINS and D. HUTCHINS on the Ovid, Ulysses and Trumansburg circuit.
Dr. DENNIS was ordained deacon by Bishop HEDDING in 1837, and from the conference of 1838 he was appointed to Lyons where he remained two years and the following two years he was stationed at Canoga and then returned for two years to Lyons. In 1843 he was stationed at Waterloo and the next year was assigned to Swan Street Church, Buffalo, where he remained two years. His next appointment was the First Church in this city where he remained two years. During his pastorate in the First Church he was elected to the General Conference in Pittsburg in 1848, and took part in the action which resulted in the formation of the East Genesee Conference. His pastorate for the next two years was Geneva and in 1850 he was appointed Presiding Elder of the Rochester District. In the third year of his presiding eldership he was a second time elected to represent his conference as a delegate to the General Conference at Boston. For one year following he was stationed at Macedon and Walworth, the former place having been his residence during his term as Presiding Elder. In 1855 he took charge of the church at Newark where he remained two years during the latter of which he was again a delegate to the general conference which held its session in Cincinnati. He was next stationed at Honeoye Falls for one year. Two years pastorate at Lima followed after which he was for three years treasurer of the Genesee College and Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima, during which time he raised a large endowment fund for the above mentioned institutions.
For the four years following, Dr. DENNIS was again Presiding Elder of the Rochester district, after which he was again stationed at Lima as pastor, and remained three years. He was then stationed for three years at the Frank Street Church in this city and for the following three years was pastor of the church at Bellona. During the last year of his pastorate at the latter place his health became somewhat impaired. He supplied the pulpit at Sweden for one year following, and Webster for the next, having his residence in this city. Since that time he has resided in this city, preaching frequently, but undertaking no regular work, never having assumed the super annuated relation. At a conference at Lima three years ago he preached his semi-contennial sermon. His last appearance in the pulpit was at Cornhill Church in this city at which time he gave an exhaustive history of Methodism in this city and Western New York. He was a trustee f the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary at Lima for about fifty years and up to the time of his death. He was also a trustee f the Genesee College during the time of its existence. He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Genesee College in 1871. He was married June 4, 1834 to Miss Rebecca HOGARTH who survives him.
Dr. DENNIS was forcible and earnest as a preacher and influenced his audiences with a singular power. He was a diligent and discriminating student up to within a few days of his death and was a close and systematic thinker, and his arguments in the pulpit were founded upon his convictions. He was at all times and in all places fearless in his advocacy and defense of right and denunciation of wrong. It should be recorded of him as it has been of his aged colleagues who have proceeded him, that to the last, he never swerved from his implicit faith in the Great Captain of Galile under whose banner he had served so constantly and so consistently for nearly sixty years. His intellect was unimpaired to the last and he was able to greet his family shortly before the end.
In the death of Dr. DENNIS the church loses an able, devoted and faithful minister and his family a wise counselor. Besides his widow, Dr. DENNIS leaves four sons, Rev. James H. DENNIS, rector of St. James Church in this city, Rev. Henry S. DENNIS, rector of the Episcopal Church at Sodus, John DENNIS, Jr., and Richard H. DENNIS, both of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. Rev. F. D. HODGSON, of Horseheads, and Miss Jennie DENNIS, of this city. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Fannie KINNIE and Mrs. Eliza CHURCH, both of Romulus. The time of the funeral has not been decided upon.
