While in the land of Nod, a tramp passing the hotel stepped up on the porch and gently and dextrously relieved Mr. BROWN of his watch valued at $150. When the Michigander awoke he naturally felt for his watch to see what time it was. He didn't find out from his own time-piece, but he did discover that he had been robbed, and immediately informed the police. At 12:45 o'clock yesterday morning Officer RAGAN saw a one-armed tramp on Front street, with a watch in his hand. The policeman went to the patrol house and got Officer HINES, who accompanied him back to the saloon where the tramp was seen to enter, and they were not long in finding out that the vagabond was trying to dispose of a watch. He was arrested and when locked up said that his name was George RILEY. Mr. BROWN identified the watch as his property.

BERNARD RITZENTHALER 

Bernard RITZENTHALER was born forty-two years ago in that part of the town of Gates which now lies in the fifteenth ward, and he has ever since resided in that part of the city. He has had twelve years experience in business, having been engaged in the grocery and flour and feed trade. In the spring of 1888 he retired from business. Though at all times an enthusiastic Democrat and earnest worker for the advancement of the interests of his party he never accepted a political office until February 6, 1889, when he was elected overseer of the poor by the Common Council to succeed Anthony H. MARTIN, deceased. He was re-elected for a full term in April, 1890, and has served with efficiency and industry in the position. He has thus gained an experience which admirably qualifies him for the office of county superintendent. 

Oscar P. COLBY, who is re-nominated for Justice of Sessions, was born in Ogden April 26, 18-- (1841?). His grandfather came to Ogden in 1803, he and one brother being the first settlers of that town. Mr. Colby was educated in the common schools of the town and also attended Satterlee of Dexter's Collegiate Institute in this city in 1857 and 1858. From that school he went to the Brockport Collegiate Institute where he remained until the spring of 1862. Then he enlisted in Company A, 140th Regiment and went to the front with that gallant band of soldiers. Private Colby was wounded at Little Round Top at Gettysburg, where Col. O' RORKE met his death. Since the war Mr. Colby has resided in Ogden. During the administration of Sheriff SCHOEFFEL from 1882 to 1885 he served as a deputy. For three years past he has acted as a justice of the peace in his town, and during 1890 he served as a member of the Democratic County Committee. Mr. Colby has made many warm friends in this city during his term as Justice of Sessions, who will warmly congratulate him on his re-nomination.

DROVE FOUR-IN-HAND
 
A Young Woman Seriously Injured by the Recklessness of Two Drunken Farmers
 
Just as the crowd of people was hurrying home from work last Saturday evening E. B. FELLOWS and John PEDRO, two young farmers from Chili, drove rapidly up West Main street in an empty lumber wagon, to which were attached two teams of horses. The young men had come to town earlier in the day with two loads of hay, after selling which they proceeded to load themselves with Front street beverages. When really to start for home they decided to leave one of the wagons and drive back four-in-hand.
      FELLOWS was driving, and as he crossed the West avenue bridge he suddenly wheeled the horses down the towpath and directly into the throng of pedestrians. A half dozen persons were struck down by the frightened animals, and Miss Eliza COGSWELL, of No. 274 West avenue, was thrown under their heels. A score of hands grasped the horses and cut the reins. Then the leaders dashed into the canal.
     Miss COGSWELL was taken up unconscious, with the blood flowing from a severe cut on the head. Her right leg was found to have been dislocated and cut in a frightful manner by the horses hoofs. Her collar bone was also dislocated. She was removed to her home and was attended by Doctors JONES and MULLIGAN.
     The young man were arrested by Officer FRANK and locked up on the charge of drunkenness. They were afterward paroled upon giving security for their appearance this morning. The horses that went into the canal were rescued by the bystanders.
     Miss COGSWELL's condition was much improved last night and her physicians think no further serious results will follow.

DID TOMMY LIE ?
 
When Tommy DEAN was arrested last week he said that he threw into the east side race the two satchels that he stole from the Erie depot, after he had cut them open and had taken the articles of value that he found in them. Yesterday morning at 7 o'clock the winter was let out of the race and a search for the satchels was made, but they were not found. The water was out of the race for more than three hours and a thorough search was made but as has been said, it was unfruitful. It is thought that Tommy lied to the police officers when he said that he threw the satchels into the race.

HORSE BREEDERS'  RACES
 
Four Days' Meeting of the Central New York Association
 
Newark, Oct. 10 - The Central New York Horse Breeders' Association will hold a four days' meeting on the mile kite track here this week, beginning to-morrow for records, open to the world. The event is one of importance as the best breeders of the state are interested, and many good horses are entered. There are now about one hundred horses on the track and more are coming. There will be horses sent for records and exhibition miles by some very fast horses.
     Among the prominent horses here is Egthorne, by Egbert, dam Sue, by Thorndale, with four in the thirty list. Egthorne is owned on the Massbrook stock farm in Friendship. He is driven by Snow, who gave him a mark of 2:12 1/2 three weeks ago on the Kite track in Independence, Iowa. He will be sent to lower the track record. F. G. BABCOCK, of Hornellsville, has fine horses on the track, among them Bas Blen Wilkes, the plucky little mare, 2:24 1/2, and Voodoo, which cost him $23,400 when a yearling. C. D. & H. H. WHEELER, of West Winfield, have their Forest Prince here, and gave him a mark last week of 2:19 1/4. S. C. WELLS, of Le Roy, has several horses here for record, headed by Quinn Gothard, 2:17 1/2. Favors, who made a record of 2:22 as a four-year-old, and Hendricks, 2:17 1/4, are here with several other flyers from H. E. Jewett & Company's farm near Buffalo.
     C. D. Ely, of the Galen stock farm, Clyde, has five horses, among them Captain Waters, who won the 2:35 class here last week in 2:28 1/2. H. M. LITTEL, of Macedon, has four horses, with St. Arnend, 2:29 1/4, and Curdew, by Chimes, with a record of 2:46 as a two-year-old. H. C.

A CONFESSED MURDERER
 
William Coy Tells How he Killed John Whalen and Disposed of His Body
 
Pittsfield, Mass., Oct. 20 - William COY to-day confessed the murder of John WHALEN, whose body was found buried on the mountain side at Washington, Mass., last Tuesday. He says he learned Saturday, August 29th, that WHALEN had planned an elopement with Mrs. COY. When he reached home late Saturday night WHALEN was absent. He went into the house to get a lantern, and started to hunt WHALEN up. He could find no trace of him, and returned to the house and found WHALEN's trunk standing in his room. He broke it open and found his wife's clothing packed in it. While examining the trunk WHALEN came in. This was between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning. WHALEN asked COY what he was doing at his trunk, and a quarrel followed.
     According to COY's story, WHALEN stepped outside and returned with an axe and club, and then struck COY with his fist, knocking him into a corner. WHALEN then seized the axe, and struck twice at COY, who grappled with him, and after a hard struggle succeeded in getting possession of the axe. WHALEN then seized the club, and as he tried to strike COY, the latter struck him with the axe, smashing in his skull. WHALEN fell dead, COY finally took the axe and cut WHALEN's throat to make sure of his death, then dragged the body into the yard, and left it while he cut the bloody pieces out of the carpet and bedding and burned them. He then went into the yard, cut the legs from WHALEN's body with the axe and carried the remains up the mountain and buried them.
     COY says he killed WHALEN in self-defence, and exonerates "Joe" KELLY and Mrs. COY, saying they knew nothing about the crime. When asked about how he came to have so much money immediately after WHALEN's disappearance, he became reticent, but finally said WHALEN gave it to him, in consideration of his saying nothing about his (WHALEN's) intimacy with Mrs. COY.

PAT POWERS IN TROUBLE
 
At about 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon a man, giving the name of Pat POWERS, went to McGRAW's livery stable and said that he wanted to be driven out the Chili road a short distance to see his father. He paid in advance for the services of a rig and a driver and the journey was begun. POWERS had concealed about his person a pint bottle of whisky and no sooner had he got seated in the buggy than he took a nip. During the ride to his destination he nipped with great frequency, and when he reached the place at which his father is stopping, his bottle was half empty and he was half full. He gave his father some money and then started back towards the city. During the ride he emptied his bottle and arrived at the end of his journey too drunk to stand. He was taken to the police station to sober up.

WOOD - NEEL
 
Two Well Known Young People of Rochester Married Last Evening
 
Miss Lillian WOOD, of Meigs street, and Dana C. NEEL, were married at the Park Avenue Baptist Church by Rev. H. Clay PEEPELS last night in the presence of a large number of their friends and relatives. The arrangements for the ceremony were carried out with unusually good taste. Shortly before 8 o'clock the bridal party entered the church by the southern front door and proceeded across the rear of the church and up the right aisle to the pulpit. Arrived where the minister was to pronounce the words that would unite the young couple, the bridesmaids ranged themselves in a half circle in front of the prospective bride and groom, the ushers occupying positions in the background. With the bridal party thus arranged Mr. PEEPELS spoke the words that made Miss WOOD Mrs. NEEL. The bride wore a handsome costume of cream faille trimmed with lace. She carried lilies of the valley and wore in her hair clusters of orange blossoms.
     The maid of honor was Miss Emily WOOD, a sister of the bride. Miss Eloise COWLES, Miss Clara REED, Miss Bertha WHITING, Miss Nettie TIFFANY, Miss Jessie MUNN and Miss Olive WOOD were the bridesmaids. The maid of honor wore a dress of yellow crepe du Chine, with train and carried a bunch of yellow roses. The bridesmaids were all dressed in white India silk and each carried a large bunch of pink roses. Their dresses were draped with pink buds. F. Judson HESS was best man and these gentlemen acted as ushers: H. S. LAMKIN, A. E. COPELAND, H. J. WINN, Burt SMITH, H. B. WILLIAMS, Gleason CALDWELL and George BAILEY, of Dansville.
     After the ceremony at the church a reception was held at the bride's home. The house was handsomely decorated with flowers and plants. Many friends and relatives of Mr. and Mrs. NEEL were present and all congratulated the young couple upon the happy manner in which they begin life together. The bride and groom started on their wedding journey last night. They will soon return to Rochester.
     Mrs. NEEL is the daughter of W. H. WOOD of No. 12 Meigs street. Mr. NEEL is connected with the S. F. Hess Company and is known and liked by a large number of the residents of Rochester.

A RIDICULOUS STORY
 
James L. NORTHRUP died at the home of his sister, Esther L. NORTHRUP, No. 56 Howell street, early Monday morning. He had been suffering from atrophy of the muscles for a long time and for six years had not had the use of his hands or arms. Yesterday a woman giving her name as Mrs. H. A. ERVINGTON came to the police station and said that she had attended Mr. NORTHRUP at different times and that he had told her that he was convinced that he was being slowly poisoned. He complained of nausea after eating and said that he had heard conversation which led him to believe that he was being slowly killed. He owned some property and thought that that was what was wanted. This story was reported to Coroner GRAHAM, who ordered an autopsy made by Dr. TAIT. This was done yesterday afternoon. No traces of poison were found. A certificate of death from natural causes was granted. The fact of the matter is that Mr. NORTHRUP was cared for by one of his sisters and for years had been a great care. His mind was unbalanced from his sufferings, and if he ever did say anything of the kind reported, what he said was simply the expression of the fancy of a disordered brain. The story was given out yesterday morning before any attempt had been made to prove its truth or falsity, which highly judicious proceeding placed the dead man's relatives in a very embarrassing position. A great deal of unnecessary mortification might have been spared them if the authorities had waited until the autopsy had been made before giving currency to an utterly unfounded sensational rumor.

WILL ARREST THE AGENT
 
Yesterday morning Judge KEELER issued a warrant for the arrest of W. SPORT, agent of the High Art Portrait Company, on the charge of petit larceny. Mrs. WALTER, of No. 101 Alphonse street, paid fifty cents to SPORT the first of the month to have two cabinet photographs enlarged. She understood that that was all the work would cost her, but on the 11th she received a postal card signed by the High Art Portrait Company stating that her photographs were "in work," and asking her to call at the office and select a frame. She called at the office and learned that in order to get her pictures, for which she had already paid fifty cents, she must purchase a frame costing not less than $3. A number of German women have been caught by this same game. Chief HAYDEN says that the business is conducted fraudulently.

MARY ACKERMAN'S CASE
 
Mrs. DREIS, ordered by Judge DAVY last Saturday to be relieved from the Hudson Reformatory, is now at her home in this city. When Mrs. DREIS was arrested Mary ACKERMAN was with her. She was also arrested on the same charge and sent by Justice KEELER to Hudson. There seems to be no reason, if Mrs. DREIS's case is to be regarded as a precedent, why her companion's commitment was not as illegal as hers, or why Mary ACKERMAN should not also be ordered released, except that Mary ACKERMAN's mother is a poor widow and there is no money to pay lawyer's fees and expenses. Therefore Charles YOUNG, of No. 86 Franklin street has headed a subscription list with a contribution of $5 and will be glad to receive the subscriptions of those who may be willing to contribute for this purpose. It is estimated that $50 will be sufficient. It need hardly be remarked that if Mary ACKERMAN was improperly arrested and legally committed to the refuge, it is not at all desirable that she should remain there for the next five years.

John ROSENBAUER of 383 Maple street was instantly killed by the engine of a Central gravel train at the Hague street crossing at 7 o'clock last night. ROSENBAUER was on his way home from work and was walking on the track. The train, which was in charge of Conductor POTTER and Engineer John RISING, was moving slowly, preparatory to backing up on a branch.

The body was terribly mangled, the head and left arm and leg being severed.
      Coroner GRAHAM was notified and ordered the body removed to ROSENBAUER's home on Maple street. An inquest will be held at Culligan's undertaking rooms at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. ROSENBAUER was 72 years old and was employed by the city.

No local supervising engineer has yet been appointed by the Board of Sewer Commissioners, but as O. C. GILLETTE is the only applicant for the position he will doubtless receive it.
 
--Water works for Medina seem out of the question, for the present, at least. The Board of Trustees claim that the chief causes for delay have been as follows: First, the Bassett Brothers didn't find water as easily as they expected and when they did find it, it was so located that its use for a system of water works would be too expensive for their bid. They turned the matter over to Brownell, of New York, who claims that sickness has been the cause of his delay. The board says that there never was a contract, simply a franchise, which will expire November 1st, as nothing has been done.

FROM BROKEN GLASS
 
Handsome Vases and Bric-a-Brac Made by a Frenchwoman
 
Manufacturer
     Some ingenious frenchwoman has found a new use for broken glass. In Paris fragments of broken glass of various colors are mixed together, after having been broken to a suitable size; they are then placed in moulds lined with silica, talc or some other resisting material, and fired.
     A coherent mass is produced which can be dressed and cut into blocks, which are, of course, irregularly colored. Such blocks may be used as artificial marble. The blocks are usually tough on one side, owing, perhaps, to incomplete fusion; this gives a surface which is admirably adapted for causing them, especially if they are slab-like in form, to adhere to walls with the addition of a little mortar.
     Fine decorative effects can thus be produced. Designs in relief can be obtained by pressure while blocks or slab is still plastic.

BEFORE THE CADI
 
An Agent of the High Art Portrait Company Held for Trial
 
William SPORT, the agent of the High Art Portrait Company, against whom the charge of petit larceny was made by a woman who claimed that he had obtained 25 cents from her on false representations as to the cost of enlarging a portrait, was arrested yesterday morning on a warrant issued by Judge KEELER on Tuesday. He was taken before the judge, who decided to postpone the case until November 6th, when he will be tried by a jury. Although the amount of money secured by SPORT, as the agent calls himself, is small, the case is one of considerable importance, as a large number of Germans claim to have been victimized in the same manner as was the woman at whose instigation the prisoner was arrested.
     Patrick POWERS, of Avon, who drank about a quart of whisky while taking a short ride Tuesday evening, and was locked up very much under the influence of the liquor inside of him, was paroled, as he was known to be ordinarily a sober man.
     William FLAHERTY and Peter DOYLE, tramps from Mt. Morris and Nunda, arrested early yesterday morning, when they were found sleeping in Reynolds Arcade, were paroled upon promising to select less conspicuous resting places during the remainder of their sojourn in Rochester.
