passing the hotel stepped up on the porch and gently and dextrously relieved Mr. BROWN of his watch valued at $150.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

STRUCK BY AN ENGINE
John ROSENBAUER INSTANTLY KILLED AT HAGUE STREET
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 engineer saw
ROSENBAUER, but supposed that he would step from the track. The man did not
hear the train approaching and in a moment the engine struck him, throwing
him to the track. 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.

failure. She was born in Churchville, October 5, 1814, the daughter of

children are: Homer L. GAGE, of Bergen; Mrs. Ann M. WELCH, of
Churchville, and Mrs. Frances M. BALCOM, of Kendall. The funeral will
be held at her late residence Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.
--The party given in
Pittsford Tuesday evening by Misses Maud SEAMAN and Sadie SUTHERLAND,
in commemoration of their coincident birthdays, was unique in its
attractive features. Music was a specialty, to which the three Misses
LOCKWOOD contributed upon the piano, violin and violin-cello. A
novelty in the amusement line was an universal search for secreted
bags of peanuts, a prize being offered to the one who would find the
greatest number in a given time. Miss Jessie CRUMP was the fortunate
one, the reward being a crystal jewel-case, hand painted. The lady
hosts of the merry-making were the recipients of some very pretty
presents.

character. The ceremony was performed by Rev. James SKINNER, pastor of
the Episcopal Church, in the front parlor of the house, which was a
profusion of flowers and evergreens. The bridesmaid was Miss Satie
WILLIAMS and the bridegroom Edward LEONARD. After visiting New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, they will return to Brockport

RENNSSALAER, the contractors, have been looking over the ground and
engaged local workmen. Tool-boxes and sheds have been ordered. It is
proposed to start in with a force of twenty-five men and push the work
to completion this fall if the weather holds favorable. 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.
