MORTUARY MATTERS
 
Mrs. Esther M. Rider Passes Away at the Residence of Her Son.
    Mrs. Esther M. RIDER died last Thursday night at the residence of her son, Dr. Charles E. RIDER, No. 53 South Fitzhugh street. Mrs. RIDER was 85 years old, had been a resident of this city for about ten years. She was born in Salisbury, Vermont, in 1809, and was the daughter of Gilbert EVERTS, the son of a Revolutionary soldier who fought at the battle of Bumker Hill. Mrs. RIDER was directly descended, seven generations removed from John ALDEN and Priscilla MULLINS of Mayflower fame. Miss EVERTS was married in 1830 to Ebenezer RIDER, of New Haven, Vt., where the family resided until 1879, when Mr. RIDER's death occurred. The surviving members of the immediate family are Mrs. Ezra ANDREWS and Dr. Charles E. RIDER, of this city. Mrs. RIDER was the last member of a large family of children, all of whom lived to an advanced age, and held high positions in their respective walks of life. The last brother to die was Judge Martin G. EVERTS, of Rutland, Vt., one of the most prominent men of his day in his native state.

--Mrs. Leonard SAGE of Adams Basin died suddenly yesterday morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Lillie HALL of No. 179 Caroline street, this city. Mrs. SAGE was about 55 years old. She came to this city on a visit to her daughter Thursday and appeared to be in the best of health. She arose early yesterday and breakfasted with her daughter and grand-daughter.

Hastening into the yard she discovered her mother sitting with closed eyes with her head reclining to one side. Being unable to arouse her she called for help and the unconscious woman was carried into the house. Dr. Frederick H. GODDARD was immediately summoned and when he arrived it was found that the woman had died. The physician declared that apoplexy was the cause of death.
    Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified and a certificate of death from apoplexy was granted.

BASTIAN'S LATEST DEAL
 
Dansville's Financier Was a Fruitful Schemer
How Squier Was Duped
Thirsted For a Business Career and Got Caught--
Some Interesting Developments at Yesterday's Hearing Before Mr. Gilbert
 
    Jacob BASTIAN, the Dansville swindler, was arraigned yesterday afternoon before United States Commissioner GILBERT on a charge of using the mails for fraudulent purposes, the complaining witness being W. R. SQUIER of Buffalo, one of BASTIAN's intended victims. The defendant, who is waiting the action of the United States grand jury on a charge similar to the above, preferred by Hugo BECKER of this city, was brought to the commissioner's office handcuffed to Jailer CAWTHRA and sat during the progress of the hearing with legs crossed, keenly watching the faces of the witnesses who were placed on the stand and occasionally conferring with his counsel, Colonel SCHOOLEY.
    The bulk of the testimony presented yesterday was decidedly damaging to BASTIAN, in spite of Mr. SCHOOLEY's cross-examinations. The defense had no witnesses and the chances are that BASTIAN will be held to answer to the second charge as well as the first.
    Mr. SQUIER, in answer to the question of Commissioner GILBERT, detailed the history of his transactions with BASTIAN from the time he answered an advertisement inserted by the latter in a Buffalo paper until he discovered that the man from Dansville was a swindler.
    The advertisement used by BASTIAN to lure gudgeons into his net was signed, "M. HATHAWAY, Hornellsville, N. Y.," and stated that a young man with plenty of push, enterprise and $100 was, wanted to engage in partnership with a capitalist in the rent estate business at Hornellsville. Mr. SQUIER, who is a heartless young man just past his majority, and who speaks with enunciation almost painfully correct, spied the advertisement. He thought the matter over and concluded that the chance offered would just about suit him. Furthermore he had the requisite $100 safely deposited in the Erie County Savings Bank and therefore lost no time in writing to "M. HATHAWAY," asking further particulars.
    Some weeks elapsed before he received an answer from the Hornellsville man, who devoted several pages, of letter paper to describing the surpassing advantages of Hornellsville for the location of a real estate bureau.
    This communication was signed J. or G. BASTIAN, the initial being so illegibly written that it could easily be taken for either. The glittering bait thrown out by BASTIAN was eagerly swallowed by the unsuspecting Buffalonian, who promptly replied, suggesting a meeting for the purpose of talking the matter over face to face. To this BASTIAN responded by a telegram, asking SQUIER to come to Hornellsville on a certain day. He did so, and as already published in the democrat and Chronicle, had a conference with the advertiser, who stated that his right name was George BASTIAN.
    His representations proved satisfactory to SQUIER, who agreed to become his partner in the mythical real estate business, and handed over a check for $100 on the savings bank at Buffalo, made out to George BASTIAN. This was on Friday. SQUIER returned home that night, and early the next day went to the bank where his money was on deposit with the intention of ordering the payment of the $100 check stopped whenever it should be presented. Swift as he was, BASTIAN had been swifter, and to SQUIER's surprise, the check was at the bank waiting his pleasure. It afterwards transpired that BASTIAN had indorsed it as George BASTIAN, the name of his brother, a reputable druggist of Dansville, and sent it to Buffalo by express for collection. SQUIER had devoted a good deal of thought during the night to BASTIAN, and upon recollecting many of his statements had found many discrepancies in them which aroused his suspicious. This, coupled with the unseemly haste shown by the swindler to convert the check into cash, caused him to think deeper than before. He finally decided to investigate BASTIAN further before honoring the check, and the bank officials were asked to hold it a day or two, subject to notice from him. <snip> didn't get the rest.

--The last two performances of the Carleton's at the Lyceum occur to-day, when "Fra Diavolo" will be given at both the matinee and evening performances. The enthusiasm with which this opera was received on Thursday night was a demonstration almost unknown in the history of Rochester amusements. At the finale of the second act, when the Lucia sextette was sung, the curtain was raised five times and the audience would not be satisfied until this grand number had been repeated three times. The house should be crowded at both performances to-day.

BOSTON AND NEW YORK GIRLS
               Brooklyn Eagle
    Ward McALLISTER has been praising the New York girls at the expense of the Boston girls. He says that the former know that it is necessary to dress stylishly and that they buy their gowns first and consult those who have to pay the bills afterward, while the latter ask their mothers whether they can afford a new gown before they buy it. As a result many of the Boston girls do not dress in style. The latter girls are more cultured, says the New York expert, but they are not so lovable. If higher education will make girls economical then let us have more higher education. But why is it that so many of the Boston girls are unmarried? It has been said that young men hesitated about taking a wife because of the extravagance of the modern girl. Those who are explaining why young men do not marry must guess again.

--Charles H. YATES, an insurance agent of Lockport, has been arrested on a charge of grand larceny, preferred by a Niagara Falls man, who claims that YATES attempted to swindle him in an insurance deal. It is said that several more charges are pending. He has been admitted to bail.
 
--After an almost unbearable suspense, to some of Lockport's prominent politicians, the Suspension Bridge collectorship question has been disposed of and Lockport is to be congratulated on securing the plum. Edward J. TAYLOR, whose nomination with several others, was sent to the senate yesterday, was born here in 1856 and, with the exception of one year spent in Colorado, has since resided here. He was given three years of a high school education and then studied law in the office of William FARNELL. He was admitted to the bar in 1880 and has since by hard untiring labor attained a large and paying practice. Owing to the increase of business Charles L. NICHOLLS, a prominent young lawyer, was admitted as a partner last January. Mr. TAYLOR is highly elated over his glorious victory and is receiving congratulations upon all sides. But there now remains that which was inevitable from the start, the sore and vengeful party whose man was defeated, and if the work of this party is to be relied upon, the outcome of the next election will be a more glorious victory for the Republicans than the previous one. Mr. NICHOLLS will probably conduct the legal business during Mr. TAYLOR's term of office.

Hope avenue to the Humane Society's shelter by Humane Agent HEBBARD last night. They were the children of Robert SIMPSON, whose wife died three years ago.

BURIED IN THE RUINS
 
Eight Men Seriously Injured at a Barn Raising
    Honeoye, July 11 - The most serious accident in the history of Ontario county occurred in the town of Canadice to-day at 9:30 o'clock, on the farm owned by Hollis J. T. TYLER, of Naples. A gang of men were raising a barn to replace one blown down about a year ago. Much of the timber of the former building was used for staying in the new one. The workmen had raised one bent and were working on the staging laid across this fitting the next bent together. Without a moment's warning the timbers beneath them gave way, and they were hurled into the basement below, a distance of nearly twenty feet. In some unaccountable manner the whole number fell under the entire weight of plank and timbers. The list of injured is as follows: George MUCK, bruised about the head, supposed to be dead when first taken out, but subsequently recovered; James THOMAS, both legs broken, right leg twice below the knee, left leg once above the knee; Chester WASHBURN, 70 years of age, left leg broken and terribly smashed, the bone protruded from the flesh and was removed by the physicians and may necessitate amputation, right leg slightly bruised; Henry MAGERY, leg and ankle injured; Eugent ALGER, seriously hurt and ankle sprained; Levi LYON, leg bruised; John OAKLEY, slightly injured; William CLEVELAND, leg and head bruised. Drs. L. F. WILBUR, of Honeoye, and Coroner WE_TLING, of Naples, cared for the injured. The accident was caused by one of the old timbers giving way at the point where it was spliced by an old mortise.

Coroner GRAHAM was notified and after an investigation he granted a certificate of death from apoplexy. The deceased was 47 years of age and leaves a wife, Mary, and one daughter. He is also survived by a brother, Abram, of Gates, and two sisters, one living in Gates and the other in Chili.

ANDREW NAGEL DEAD
 
Prominent Citizen of the Second Ward Passes Away
 
Andrew NAGEL, and old and prominent citizen of the Second ward, died suddenly at the City Hospital at 12:45 o'clock to-day.
     Since last Christmas Mr. NAGLE had been slightly indisposed, but had attended to his business duties and had not complained until recently. A week ago to-day he was taken ill and had been a very sick man since, suffering, as it was supposed, from an obstruction of the bowels. Drs. JOHNSTON and ZIMMER, with Dr. ELY as advising physician, attended him, and it was feared that an operation would be necessary as a last resort.
     Last evening Mr. NAGEL felt considerably relieved and his family felt sure of his recovery.
     He took a turn for the worse during the night and this morning he was removed to the City Hospital to undergo an operation which was performed by Drs. WHITBECK, ELY, JOHNSON and ZIMMER.
     It revealed the fact that Mr. NAGEL was suffering from cancer of the bowels and that there was no possible relief. He expired shortly after the operation.
     Andrew NAGEL was born in Oberberkan, Wurtemberg, Germany, February 8, 1825. He came to Rochester a poor boy over 40 years ago. He was one of the first butchers of Rochester.
     He leaves one son, George H., two daughters, Mrs. C. SEEL and Mrs. George SEEL, one brother, John, and a sister, Mrs. John BACHMAN of this city, and a brother and sister in Germany.

James TIMMEY, the foreman of the section, and a man named MITCHELL, who was an eye witness of the tragedy, testified that the blast was covered when fired and that the stone which caused CORNELIO's death broke through the covering. Several Italian witnesses were called, and after their testimony, corroborating that of the foreman, was heard, the jury brought in the verdict. The body was buried to-day.

RASCALITY IN JOURNALISM
 
Falsity of an Interview Published in the Rochester Chronicle
 
A shameless exhibition of the fake methods of the New York world is to be found in the Rochester Chronicle. It is the alleged interview with Mr. George H. CLUNE, chairman of the athletic committee of the Rochester Athletic Association, in regard to the recent Fourth of July celebration.
     Mr. CLUNE saw no reporter of the Chronicle, and not one word of the interview attributed to him came from his lips. Every part of it was fabricated in the Chronicle office and brazenly and shamelessly inclosed in quotation marks.
     Such a barefaced forgery as that is not only a gross injustice to Mr. CLUNE, but it is a deception practiced upon readers that deserves a term in state's prison.
