DROPPED DEAD IN ARCADE
Sudden Death of Capt. Almerick W. Wilbur, a Well Known Veteran and Pension Agent
Capt. Almerick W. WILBUR, a well-known veteran of the Civil War,
and who was a pension agent in this city for many years, having an office at 68
Reynolds' Arcade, dropped dead in the basement of the building at 1:45 o'clock
this afternoon. Coroner KLEINDIENST was called and took charge of the body,
having it removed to the morgue. It is supposed that death was caused by heart
disease.
Capt. WILBUR had been in poor health for some time, but was able to
be at his office almost daily. About 1:30 o'clock this afternoon he had occasion
to visit the basement of the building. He was there but a short time when an
attendant's attention was attracted by his heavy groaning. When the attendant
reached him he seemed to be in a fainting condition and was unable to speak.
Several persons were summoned, among them Col. RICHARDSON, a personal friend of
Capt. WILBUR, who has an office in the same building. It was realized that his
condition was serious, and a call was sent for the City Hospital ambulance.
Before it arrived, however, the stricken man had breathed his last.
Capt. WILBUR was about 65 years of age. He was during the Civil War
a member and afterwards captain of Stewart's battery, which was made up of
Michigan men. After the war he came to New York State and for a number of years
was a resident of Brockport. He came to Rochester twenty years ago and lived
here since that time. His home was at 176 South Fitzhugh street. He is survived
by his wife and two daughters. Mrs. WILBUR was in her husband's office when he
left to go to the basement, and she was summoned there when it was seen that her
husband was in a dying condition. She was so prostrated that it was necessary to
summon a physician to attend her.

Burk Williams, Charged With Cutting Ernest Buckingham, Arraigned
Burk WILLIAMS, the colored man who is charged with assault, second
degree on Ernest BUCKINGHAM, also colored, was to have been examined in police
court to-day, but Attorney McDOWELL, who appeared for WILLIAMS, asked for an
adjournment of the case and it was put over till next Wednesday.
BUCKINGHAM charges that WILLIAMS cut him with a knife or razor on
Main street west on Monday night. WILLIAMS was badly cut in the face and those
who witnessed the fight say that WILLIAMS was no more to blame than the other
man. WILLIAMS has always borne a good reputation.

GOLER AND SMITH
Charges Not Yet Preferred Against Suspended Plumbing Superintendent.
Health Officer GOLER has not yet preferred charges against David
SMITH, the plumbing superintendent, who was suspended after Commissioner CASEY
had accused him of submitting misleading reports of his work and of not working
as hard as he should. It was expected that upon suspension charges would be
preferred against SMITH by the health officer and a hearing before Commissioner
CASEY arranged.
Dr. GOLER was asked this morning if he had any intention of
preferring charges against SMITH and said he had nothing to say further than
that charges had not been preferred. SMITH may recover from the city for the
time he is under suspension, since a veteran can only be laid off for cause and
no charges have been preferred.

MATTER WAS FIXED UP
Case of Mrs. Weaver, Charged With Assault on Son's Wife Held Open
The case of Mary WEAVER, who was charged with assault in the third
degree o her son's wife, was held open in Police Court to-day. The
daughter-in-law's husband was arrested several days ago on a charge of failing
to properly provide for his wife. His case is pending in Police Court.
It appears that young WEAVER and his wife had some trouble and
WEAVER ran to his home and told his mother. Then she went to see the
daughter-in-law. The women had some words and young Mrs. WEAVER later swore out
a warrant charging her mother-in-law with assault, claiming that she struck her.

GORED BY A BULL
A Middleport Farmer Receives Terrible Injuries
Middleport, April 5 - Jeremiah SOMMERS, a farmer living near this
village, is suffering from terrible injuries inflicted by a bull.
SOMMERS entered the box stall in which the animal was kept
yesterday, and was immediately attacked. SOMMERS attempted to escape, but found
that he had locked himself in.
The maddened animal lowered his head and dashed toward SOMMERS, but
dodging the rush. SOMMERS ran toward a ladder and grasped the lower round,
shouting loudly for help.
Just as he had pulled himself up to the first round Hannibal again
charged, this time pulling SOMMERS from the ladder and cutting a deep gash in
his left side, ripping through a heavy leather jumper, a vest and two shirts.
SOMMERS arose to his feet and jumped aside just as Hannibal charged
a second time. Hannibal crashed blindly into the side of the stall and again the
desperate and terrified man grasped the lower rung of the ladder, but being
faint with loss of blood, he did not have the strength to lift his weight to the
ladder, and was now at the mercy of the bull.
Hannibal charged again, bellowing fiercely, and knocking SOMMERS
down, backed away for another onset. SOMMERS, nearly dead from his bruises and
loss of blood, tried to crawl under the manger, but as a cat plays with a mouse,
at the very first movement of the fainting man, the bull charged again, and
catching SOMMERS upon his horns, tossed him violently against the beams above,
and when he fell began pawing and goring the now unconscious man.
At this critical moment Fred SHOLTZ, SOMMERS hired man, arrived
with SOMMERS' dog, a huge mastiff, who has taken several prizes at dog shows. As
SHOLTZ opened the door Hannibal stood over the nearly dead SOMMERS, pawing and
goring him, while the sides of the stall and the straw upon the floor were
bespattered with blood.
The dog, seeing his master's plight, dashed at the bull and
succeeded in distracting his attention until SHOLTZ could rush into the stall,
snatch the bleeding and unconscious form and back out again.
While SOMMERS is terribly injured it is probable he will recover.

TROUBLES BEGAN EARLY
Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Hobbs Opened Hostilities After
They Had Been Married Two Weeks -- Separation Action
Sarah N. HOBBS described her matrimonial troubles before Justice
DAVY to-day in the separation action which she has brought in Supreme Court
against her husband, William H. HOBBS. The husband keeps a hotel at Charlotte,
and has been in the hotel business there for many years. They were married
February 5, 1884, and two weeks later, so Mrs. HOBBS testified, HOBBS began
aggravating her. He has kept it up ever since. In 1887, she brought suit in
Supreme Court for a separation, but by a judgment filed February 14, 1887, a
decree was denied because of insufficient evidence.
Mrs. HOBBS went back to live with William, who is gray haired and
not of a war-like appearance. She described several exciting incidents. By
adroit cross examination her counsel, Daniel W. FORSYTH, brought her to tell of
the happenings of June 28, 1888, which was a banner day in the lives of the
HOBBSES.
"HOBBS went out and got a piece of corn beef and a soup
bone," related Mrs. HOBBS. "He wanted the soup bone for dinner the
next day. I went to the pantry to get some things and HOBBS followed me. I
started for the stairs and he seized me and yelled:
"Now I've got you and I'll kill you."
The witness said that HOBBS pulled her sleeve out of her dress, but that she got
away from him and ran into the shed. HOBBS chased after her and drove her away
from the stove. She cantered around the table, with HOBBS in hot pursuit. She
was putting the corn beef into some brine when HOBBS approached her from behind.
She became aware of his presence, perhaps on account of his breath, which she
described as "dreadful of whisky," and the running race opened once
more. HOBBS hurled a chair down the cellar stairs.
"He seized me by the neck and a limb," continued the
witness. "He dragged me, he did; to the cellar, and he shouted 'here's
where you go into the cellar after the chair. I hung to the table and grabbed
the dipper and hit him over the head with it."
Mrs. HOBBS said her husband accused her of the vilest things,
saying she was intimate with a certain George COLE. He was drinking hard all the
time she declared.
HOBBS sat in the front row of seats during his wife's recital. He
had a long article in his hand that was wrapped up in a newspaper and looked
like a piece of gas pipe. When Mrs. HOBBS became especially severe in her
remarks he gripped the gas pipe hard and gnawed his moustache. He made frequent
trips to his attorney's table and gave him points.
HOBBS denies that he was cruel to his wife and says this case will
come out just like the first one. J. A. STULL appears for him.

"UNCLE TOM'S CABIN."
Stetson's Uncle Tom's Cabin Company played at Baker Theater last
night before a large audience and will do so again to-night, to-morrow afternoon
and to-morrow night. The company is in the main capable though the version of
the play used is not what it might be. The scenery is good and some of the acts
are given well, but on the whole the aim of the managers seems to be to present
a farce comedy under an old and honorable name.

SUICIDE OF A BUSINESS MAN
James E. Durgin Found Dead in His Room
Smothered Himself With Chloroform --
Illness Had Brought on Depression of Spirits
Wife Found Him Lying on the Floor of His Room at Their Home on Warwick Street
While suffering from extreme mental depression, caused by ill
health, James E. DURGIN, superintendent and secretary of the firm of Copeland
& Durgin furniture manufacturers, committed suicide at his home, 18 Warwick
street, yesterday by inhaling chloroform. Coroner KLEINDIENST has charge of the
case.
Mr. DURGIN was at the factory on Jay street yesterday morning, but
he left about 10 o'clock, telling his brother, who is president of the company,
that he was not feeling well and would go to his home. He appeared to be
somewhat depressed. His brother concluded that he had an attack of dyspepsia
from which he suffered for some time. He said nothing that would indicate that
he contemplated killing himself, and there was nothing unusual about his actions
except that it was apparent that his spirits were depressed. He went to his
bedroom at his home and at dinner time told his wife that he left too ill to
eat. Soon after dinner he walked down stairs and for a couple of hours conversed
pleasantly with his wife, after which he returned to his bedroom. Mrs. DURGIN
went out at 4 o'clock to call on a neighbor. She returned about 5:30 and going
to her husband's bedroom she was horrified to find him lying on the floor
apparently unconscious. There was a strong odor of an anesthetic in the room.
Mrs. DURGIN tried to arouse her husband. Being unsuccessful she became
frightened and telephoned to Dr. Montgomery E. LEARY, whose office is on West
avenue.
Dr. LEARY hastened to the home of Mr. DURGIN. He pronounced Mr.
DURGIN dead. On the floor near where the body lay when Mrs. DURGIN entered the
room was a piece of cotton batting. This had been saturated with chloroform, and
the supposition is that he held it to his nostrils till he became unconscious.
Dr. LEARY was of the opinion that Mr. DURGIN was dead when his wife discovered
him.
Mr. DURGIN was 52 years of age. He was born in Laconia, N. H., and
came to this city in 1877. He engaged in business and several years ago he
became a member of the furniture firm of which his brother is president. He had
been suffering from chronic dyspepsia about four years. He is survived by his
wife, Alice DURGIN, and one son, William O. DURGIN, a student at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology; two brothers, H. J. DURGIN, president of
Copeland & Durgin Company, and C. H. DURGIN of Stockton, Cal., and one
sister, Mrs. R. H. CARTER of Laconia, N. H.

JOINER STREET FIRE
Slight Blaze Occurred in the Flat of John Coffey
At 10:45 o'clock last evening an alarm from box 61 corner of
Central avenue and Clinton avenue north, summoned the fire department to the
apartment house at 40 Joiner street. The blaze was confined to the flat of Hyman
NUSBAUM and was extinguished after a half hour's work by the firemen.
The damage done amounted to $100. This loss is covered by
insurance. The building is owned by John COFFEY. The fire was caused by two
burning candles which had been placed on a stand in the sitting room, in
observation of the Jewish Passover, falling on the floor and igniting some
draperies.
While carrying a hose through a window Joseph A. RINGLESTEIN of
hose 12 received a cut in his right hand by some glass. He was sent back to the
fire house and his injuries were dressed by a physician.

FORGED WOMAN'S NAME
Buffalo Man Fined for Signing Rochester Woman's Name to Money Order
Willard H. WEBBER of Buffalo was fined $150 by Judge COXE in United
States District Court in Syracuse yesterday for forging the name of Mrs. Lavina
HART of this city to a money order. WEBBER pleaded guilty when arraigned in
court. He paid the fine and was released.
WEBBER was stage manager of the Flower City Musee Company at the
time of the forgery. Mrs. HART was a member and when at Johnstown, N. Y., said
she was going to leave the company. She told WEBBER she expected a money order
from a friend named Gustav JOHANSON, who lived in Rochester. She asked him to
cash the order for her when it came. He did so, signing her name and then gave
the money to Joseph, a brother of Mrs. HART and a hanger-on of the show, and
Mrs. HART never got her money. The prisoner related these facts to Judge COXE
and pleaded for mercy, claiming he did not know he was violating the law in
signing the order.
Mrs. HART was the cause of a furious fight with knives between the
man who sent her the money and an Italian, named PONEPEO, in this city early
Wednesday morning. The fight took place at her home on Ely street in this city
and PONEPEO was badly cut. JOHANSON denied to the officers who were called in
that he had a knife and the woman also stated that he had none. A knife was
found in his pocket, however, and JOHANSON was held in police court on the
charge of assault in the second degree. He will be examined on Tuesday next.

AMUSEMENTS
Sara Bernhardt Seen by a Small Audience
"La Darne Aux Camelias" in French by Sara BERNHARDT and
Constant COQUELIN and company, drew but a small audience to the Lyceum Theater
last night. There were four reasons for the small attendance, Holy Week, the
play, the price of seats and the language used by the actors. Those who were
present enjoyed the performance even if the great majority of them could not
understand a word that was uttered on the stage. Signs of nervousness were
manifest during the first and second acts, but from the time in the third when
COQUELIN appeared as the elder Duval the closest attention was given to all that
was done until the end. Words were of no account then. The art of the great
BERNHARDT was sufficient to hold the people. A feature of the performance was
the magnificent gowns worn by the star. Each act has its gown and all are most
beautiful. To-night the company appears in Brooklyn.
