TWO LIVES LOST
Fire in a Cheap Lodging House in Buffalo
Buffalo, Jan. 2 - The cheap lodging house on Swan street between Main and Washington, kept by Lizzie HACKETT, was
destroyed by fire at 3 a.m. Of the score or more of lodgers two perished and all of the others were more or less
seriously burned and injured. The dead are:
Isaac BRADLEY, lodger unknown woman, lodger, burned beyond recognition
The injured are:
Mrs. Lizzie HACKETT, proprietor, burned about head and arms
George WRIGHT, bartender, burned about head, hands and arms
David E. WARD, negro cook, badly burned on head and hands
Louis ANDERSON, lodger, burned about head and legs
Charles EDWARDS, printer, left arm broken, body badly burned; He jumped from the third story window and is probably
fatally injured
John AVERY of Palmyra, N. Y., legs badly burned and bruised; he also Jumped from the third story
Geo. FLEMING, arms and face burned
George HARRINGTON, left shoulder dislocated, back burned
Edwin CROSS of California, very badly burned and in serious condition
J. F. RUSSELL, painter, Olcott, N. Y., burned about arms and body, seriously
W. F. SWEENEY, slightly burned about legs
Chas. VAN EVER (negro), private detective, left hand and leg burned
The building was a rookery and burned like timber. The second floor of the building was partitioned off into compartments
much in the same manner as horse stalls, and each stall held its quota of lodgers packed in together like sardines;
some said twenty, some thirty in all. There was no register. Straw shavings and other rubbish formed the bedding,
and this furnished the necessary fuel with which the fire completed its deadly work.
The firemen did heroic work, fearlessly entering the blazing rooms and rescuing those unable to move themselves.
Four persons were taken out in this condition, one of whom died before he reached the ground, and the others were
seriously burned. When the flames had been fairly well subdued the woman was found so badly burned that she cannot
be identified. The loss on the building is about $10,000.
At the hospitals at noon the condition of several of the injured was considered critical. ANDERSON, WARD, CROSS,
VAN EVER and EDWARDS are the worst cases and the physicians have little hope of their recovery. The others, while
being severely burned, are not considered dangerous.

that the police are making a searching inquiry into the past life of the suspected man. Nothing new was brought

HELD FOR ROBBERY
Thomas Burns and Alexander Higgins Will Go Before the Grand Jury
Thomas MOONEY, Alexander HIGGINS and Thomas BURNS were arrested last night on a charge of grand larceny in the
second degree by robbing benjamin SHERMAN of $40. The alleged robbery was committed on Thursday night. The victim,
who is a farmer and lives in Mumford, came to the city Thursday, and in the afternoon he went to Cruger's saloon
on Front street. He drank numerous times in the place and spent considerable money treating. It was in this place
that he met the three defendants. When they found he had money they stuck to him and when SHERMAN left there at
11:30 o'clock at night he discovered that he had been robbed. This was his story substantially, as he told it in
the police court this morning. He could not swear that any of the three men took the money.
Higgins is a hunchback, 23 years of age, who makes a business of hanging about Front street saloons, where he picks
up a few pennies by singing and dancing. He told a story to the effect that he saw MOONEY take the farmer's pocketbook.
He said MOONEY gave him $1.50 of the money. MOONEY denied this and then HIGGINS said he had made up the story and
that he did not see MOONEY take the money. It was evident from the stories told by MOONEY and HIGGINS that they
committed the robbery between them and shared the proceeds. They were held for the grand jury and BURNS was discharged.
MOONEY has served a term in Auburn for grand larceny. He has for some time been a frequenter of Cruger's place
where many bad characters congregate.

RESPONDS WITH COUNTER CLAIMS
Edwin S. Hayward's Suit Against His Son-in-law, Cass Williams.
H. J. & W. H. SULLIVAN, as attorneys for Cass WILLIAMS, have filed the answer to the complaint in the action
which Edwin S. HAYWARD brought against their client several months ago. Mr. WILLIAMS is a son-in-law of the plaintiff,
but their relations have not been altogether pleasant for some time. When Mrs. HAYWARD died last summer, and gave
her husband a life interest in her estate of $200,000, upon the expiration of which the property was to go to her
son, Dr. Edwin S. HAYWARD, Jr., to the exclusion of Mrs. WILLIAMS, this friendly feeling was not intensified.
Mr. HAYWARD, in his complaint, alleged that he had made loans to his son-in-law and had indorsed paper for him
during the past seven years amounting to $7, 200, for which he demanded judgment with interest.
Mr. WILLIAMS replied in his answer by denying all the allegations of his father-in-law, and setting up two counter-claims.
In the first he states that he rendered Mr. HAYWARD valuable legal services from November 1, 1881, to November
1, 1889, and expended money in his interest amounting to $12,000. Also, that he and F. S. MINGES from January 1,
1884, to November 1, 1889, rendered services to Mr. HAYWARD worth $7,500, and that he secured from Mr. MINGES the
latter's interest in this claim. (didn't get the rest)

Rochester Union & Advertiser, January 6, 1894; page 8, Column 1.
Mrs. Mary Staudenmaier, living with a family of grown up and growing up children, in the Rifle Range Hotel on the
east bank of the Genesee, at the end of the North park, considers that she has been unjustly used by Gen. Henry
Brinker of Rochester.
For several days she has led a sort of Robinson Crusoe existence, being cut off from the remainder of the world.
There are two roads leading to the hotel. Ditches were dug across both a few days ago so that it was absolutely
impossible to drive to the hotel. Driveways are a convenient accessory of any hotel, but especially desirable for
a hostelry situated in a secluded spot on the river bank, far from the paths of any ordinary pedestrians, especially
in the winter months. Some of the old residents and property owners say that Gen. Brinker, besides rendering the
hotel practically inaccessible, has closed up highway which have been in public use almost since the days when
the Iroquois paddled up and down the Genesee. The Hotel is on the east side of the Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg
railroad tracks and at that point Mrs. Staudenmaier owns the land lying on the east side of the tracks. About 300
feet south of the hotel, her land forms an L and includes a tract on both sides of the tracks, as far west as the
river bank about one- quarter acre of her land is west of the tracks. North of this quarter acre the land the land
for about a quarter of a mile belongs to Gen. Brinker, being a strip 50 to 80 feet wide between the tracks and
the river bank. The long and circultous road through Seneca Park as it leaves the northern end of the park extends
across Mrs. Staudenmaiers land and thence along Gen. Brinkers land it passes directly in front of the hotel furnishing
an approach to the house. At the line between Mrs. Staudenmaiers quarter acre tract and the of Gen. Brinker, a
ditch was dug a few days ago, by the generals orders, as alleged, transversely on the road about eight feet deep
and four feet in width. It is nearly 30 feet long, extending on both sides of the road, so that persons driving
that far find a hole in front, the steep river bank on one side and a railroad fence on the other. The only corse
open is to return toward Rochester. There is no guard at the hotel and there would seem to be danger to any persons
who might drive along there at night without the knowledge that such an excavation had been made lately. Mrs. Staudenmaier
says to her knowledge the road has been in use for seventeen years as a public highway. Farmers in the vicinity
say it has been a highway in public use for sixty or seventy years or more. Among those whose memory goes back
about sixty years is Hosea Rogers of St. Paul street, who says he used to drive over this road about that and load
his vessels in the river. Others who corroborate these statements are Jerome Titus of Garden street, John Barnes
of Rochester, who owns a farm in the locality, and Jay Cole of St. Paul street. The other road which leads to the
hotel starts at St. Paul street and by a long and winding course goes down the steep hill to the river bank. This
road for a considerable distance after leaving St. Paul street is a highway about sixty or seventy feet wide and
with a row of trees extending along the center. Across this highway, near St. Paul street, a ditch was somewhat
similar in depth and width to that on the park road. In addition the highway from St. Paul street has been plowed
up making it about as rough for driving as can be imagined. Mrs. Sarah Colt owns the land on both sides of the
road. People in the vicinity say Gen. Brinker owns no land along this road, but he and his men dug the ditch and
plowed up the road. Mrs. Staudenmaier bought the land from Mrs. Colt and says the latter opened the road at that
time. The Colt boys have within a day or two filled up this ditch wide enough for a vehicle to pass over, so that
now the Rifle Range people have some relief. It is stated that Gen. Brinker formerly used this highway to go to
his lands but lately opened a new and private road about 300 or 400 feet to the north. For this reason he no longer
relies on the old highway, but does not appear by what authority he dug the ditch and plowed up the road. As to
the generals objects, the people in the vicinity say he aims by closing the from the park at the north end to induce
the city to buy his land lying between the river bank and the railroad tracks. His price is said to be $500 an
acre. Mrs. Staudenmaier gives another object. She stated:
"He said he like to starve us. Some friends of his were down here the other day and I told them all about
it. Perhaps he will be ashamed when he hears what they know about it." From this statement it is evident that
the relations between Gen. Brinker and the Staudenmaiers are somewhat strained.

responded to a call from box 214, and had the flames extinguished in fifteen minutes. One of Mr. ELY'S men said
to the reporter:
"The fire started from the stovepipe which runs along a partition stuffed with straw. The boys in No. 23 School
next door first saw the blaze, and notified me. We have kept pretty close watch of the place, as it has been on
fire once before, but was discovered in time to prevent any damage."
"The reason I called the fireman was because I feared some of the other buildings might catch. I don't suppose
the damage amounts to more than $10, as we succeeded in getting everything out."
It looked to the reporter as if the stove was located in a very dangerous place and needed all the attention it
received.

who wore shawls over their heads. "What time is it?" asked one of them. The woman instantly cast her
shawl over KHRON'S head, while her companion seized him around the neck and threw him to the sidewalk. Then, while
one held him, the other went through his pockets, securing $8.50, his wages for the week. Before he could realize
what had happened the women had disappeared.

THE BUFFALO TRAGEDY
Mrs. Curtis May Recover, but the Daughter Will Probably Die.
Buffalo, Jan. 10 - Mrs. CURTISS and her daughter, Fannie, the victims of yesterday's shooting affray, were reported
this morning to be resting comfortably. Mrs. CURTISS will undoubtedly recover, but the daughter's life hangs in
the balance. The bullet has either penetrated the lung and is embedded in the back, or else has lodged in the lung.
An attempt will be made to probe for them this afternoon if the condition of the patients make it advisable. CURTISS
remains in custody and is closely guarded to prevent further attempt at suicide. It is said that in addition to
his other excesses he is also an opium fiend.
CURTIS after his arrest yesterday tried to commit suicide by cutting his wrists with a piece of glass. He broke
his eye-glasses and thus got a sharp edge. He was arrested after a severe struggle in a crowded street car in which
were a number of women. His dissipated habits had driven his wife and daughter from him and the shooting took place
in their boarding house.
CURTIS is a brute. He at one time threw scalding hot water on his wife and daughter. He has been arrested once
for cruelty to animals for abusing his horse. He will probably try to make out that he is insane, but people who
know him say that all that ails him is pure cussedness.

AN INSANE JUDGE
Drives His Family Out of Doors and Threatened Dire Things
Niagara Falls, Jan. 10 - The little Canadian village of Niagara-on-the-Lake is producing sensations right along
these days. The latest excitement in this ordinarily quiet place in the insane actions of W. H. J. EVANS, the presiding
magistrate of the town.
One day last week he drove his wife and six children out of the house at the muzzle of a revolver. The terrified
wife rushed screaming into the street and the children ranging in age from 4 to older years, followed her. EVANS
announced that if any of them desired to enter the house again he would shoot them. He kept brandishing the revolver
and as the mother and children went out of the yard the insane father fired after them. The town people were greatly
excited over the affair. EVANS has been arrested and will have an examination on Thursday.

A NON-SUIT GRANTED
Action of Loretta D. Cox Against Mr. and Mrs. William Cox
The case of Loretta D. COX against Mr. and Mrs. William COX was tried before Judge WHITE to-day and resulted in

that her husband seized a piano, sideboard and other household furniture belonging to her and that they are now
in the possession of his parents. The judge held that the plaintiff had not made a formal demand for the property
and, therefore, failed to make out a case. Another element in the case was the agreement of separation in which
plaintiff agreed not to sue her husband for any cause of action arising prior to the date of the agreement. It
was held that if the husband had a right to the property according to this agreement any title derived from him
was valid.

DROWNING OF MARY HERMES
Unfortunate Ending of a Skating Party on the Canal
At half-past 8 o'clock last night a skating party composed of young people living in the vicinity of Caroline street
was organized for a trip eastward on the canal. The party started from a point near the Alexander street bridge
at 9. John KOEHLER and Miss Mary HERMES were in the lead closely followed by William SPAHN and Miss Rosa HETTIG.
All went well with the band of merrymakers until Henrietta avenue was reached. A sewer is being constructed on
this street and a waste pipe carrying warm water from the engine flows into the big ditch is located at this point.
The ice is very weak for a considerable distance and there are many holes.
The skating party approached the avenue on the ice at a high rate of speed. When on the edge of the treacherous
ice KOEHLER discovered the danger. It was too late to save himself or warn his companions. The party advanced onto
the weak place which gave away and the young people in the lead were precipitated into the canal. Thurston WILCOX,
night engineer at the sewer, and Officers PFITSCH and CONHEADY were drawn to the scene by the cries of those in
the water. Ropes and lanterns were procured from the sewer construction station and the work of rescuing the unfortunates
began.
The young men KOEHLER and SPAHN were pulled out in a semi-conscious condition by Mr. WILCOX. Two young men named
BULLIS and CHRISTIE waded in from the bank and brought the bodies of Miss HETTIG and Miss HERMES ashore after half
an hour's work. The young men were quickly revived. Neither of the young women showed any signs of life even when
stimulants were administered. Dr. H. W. HOYT, who had been summoned, arrived at this time and began the work of
resuscitation. The bodies were taken to the store of William APPLEBY on Adwen street. The doctor worked for three
hours over Miss HERMES and Miss HETTIG, both of whom were apparently dead. Miss HETTIG revived towards morning
and was taken to her home in the ambulance.
All efforts to resuscitate Miss HERMES proved futile and Dr. HOYT notified Coroner GRAHAM who investigated the
case this morning and granted a certificate of death from accidental causes. Miss HERMES was the daughter of Frank
HERMES of 38 Cayuga Place and was 19 years of age.

James GILFOIL of 22 William street, who has been drinking heavily for two weeks, took a dose of opium at his home
last evening, and then went to a grocery store near by and telephoned for the patrol wagon, saying that his wife
wan crazy. When the wagon reached the house the officers at once came to the conclusion that GILFOIL was the proper

taken to the station, where he told the surgeon that he had taken a dose of opium. He was then ordered taken to
St. Mary's Hospital. He was very sick for some time, but was soon pronounced out of danger and will probably be
dismissed from the hospital in a day or two.
For some time past GILFOIL, who is employed as a driver by a produce dealer on Monroe avenue, is said to have carried

MRS. LEONARD A FREE WOMAN
She Secures an Absolute Divorce from Her Husband
A decree of absolute divorce was handed down this morning in the case of Carrie M. LEONARD, by guardian, against
James Warren LEONARD. Cruelty and subsequent abandonment were also alleged. The parties to the action are well
known people. The suit was kept very quiet by the attorneys and the first intimation that Mr. LEONARD's friends
had of his domestic troubles was the filing of the Supreme Court decision this morning.
Mrs. LEONARD is a handsome young woman scarcely 19 years old. She was married to LEONARD, who is over 30 years
of age, about four years ago. The marriage was of the nature of an elopement and for a time Mr. and Mrs. LEONARD
got along very nicely. Mrs. LEONARD claims, however, that her husband insisted on making her obey him as a child.
She alleges that he beat her and abused her whenever she disobeyed him. About six months ago LEONARD abused his
wife so badly, it is alleged, that she was compelled to return to her father, J. E. PRINTICE. About this time Mr.
LEONARD secured a position on the construction of the Hemlock lake conduit as foreman. He moved to Livonia and
made his home at Shaw's Hotel.
Here he met Miss Maria QUINLAVIN, a well-preserved woman 45 years of age. An intimacy sprang up between the
two and LEONARD sold all his interests in this city and gave all his attentions to Miss QUINLAVIN. Some few weeks
ago LEONARD declared his intention of making Miss QUINLAVIN his wife. Mrs. LEONARD has asked for no alimony.

MRS. LUCINDA C. PIERCE
Death of an Estimable Lady and Old Resident of Monroe County
Mrs. Lucinda Chase PIERCE, widow of Isaac C. PIERCE, died yesterday afternoon at her residence, 49 Greig street,
in this city. Mrs. PIERCE, a descendant of Puritan ancestry, was born in 1816 at Vershire, Vermont. In 1826 her
father, Samuel CHASE, decided to try his fortune in what was then considered the western country. The journey was
made by team. After spending the summer of that year in Cayuga county, the family, in 1827, removed to the town
of York, Livingston county, where Mr. CHASE had bought a farm. Mrs. PIERCE was educated at Lima Seminary. In 1838
she was married to Isaac C. PIERCE. In 1853 the family removed to Chili, in this county, where she resided for
twenty years. Since then she had lived in this city.
Her career has been the quiet, uneventful life of the typical Christian wife and mother. For the past eight years
she had been an invalid. During that time she gathered around her a small circle of devoted friends, who loved
her for her sterling worth of character, her unbounded hospitality, her unostentatious charity and the patience
with which she endured the inroads of disease. A sister, Mrs. Marinda PIERCE of Minneapolis, and three children,
Col. S. C. PIERCE and Mrs. E. P. WETMORE of this city, and Mrs. E. A. PARSONS of Buffalo, survive. The funeral
will be held from the residence Monday afternoon, January 15th.

BUBEL of St. Boniface's Church conducted the funeral services at the church. Miss Lillian KEELER and Miss Lena
FISHER, intimate friends of the deceased, wish to express in behalf of the family sincere thanks for the many kindnesses
shown by friends during this great bereavement.
