AGED CHAPIN MAN DIES FROM INJURIES RECEIVED IN FIRE
Ira Cooper Passes Away in Hospital in Canandaigua ---Two Houses Destroyed
Canandaigua, Feb. 28 - Ira COOPER, the aged man who was burned in the fire at Chapin Sunday evening, died in the
Canandaigua Hospital for Physicians and Surgeons at 9 o'clock. Mr. COOPER was burned about the head, arms and one
leg, and the burns were deep. He did not recover consciousness after the fire.
Shortsville, Feb. 28 - The homes of Arthur COOPER and Miss Belle BURCHARD, in the village of Chapin, three miles
south of this village, were totally destroyed by fire last evening. Clothing, furniture and everything else in
them were burned, the loss being estimated at about $3,000. Miss BURCHARD was away from home at the time.
The COOPER house, in which the fire originated, was situated just opposite stilt's store and was occupied by two
families, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur COOPER and six children living in one half and Mr. COOPER's parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Ira COOPER, in the other.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Ira COOPER. She had been in another part of the house, and when she returned to
the room in which her husband had been so found him lying on the floor with his clothing on fire. Evidently he
had been walking with a lighted lamp in his hand when he stumbled and fell. She at once called her son, and they
got him out, but he was terribly injured. His right leg, hip and thigh, both hands and his face and scalp were
badly burned and his hair and whiskers burned off. He was taken to a Canandaigua hospital, and his condition is
serious. Mr. COOPER is an aged, feeble man, a veteran of the Civil war.
The fire made fast headway, and it was with great difficulty that the children of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur COOPER were
rescued, as they were all in bed asleep. As it was they were taken out in their night clothes, barefooted, and
were cared for by neighbors.

POLICEMEN HEAR LAW LAID DOWN
Have No Right to Take Prisoner Away Without His Order
Joseph PESTKA, arraigned in police court yesterday on a charge of vagrancy was discharged after Justice CHADSEY
had laid down a sort of ultimatum to the police in general.
PESTKA was arrested when released from the penitentiary one day last week, and it was said he was wanted for complicity
in the car burglary at South Byron last summer. He was taken to Batavia, where the authorities decided they didn't
want him. He was brought back to Rochester.
Justice CHADSEY said that in the first place no policeman had a right to take a prisoner away from the city without
an order from the Court. The moment a man is under arrest, he is within the Court's jurisdiction, he declared.
He said he wanted no more of such tactics. Inasmuch as no one appeared to want the young Pole he was allowed to
go.

PARENTS GIVE IN AND YOUNGSTERS MARRY
Violet Pearl Worthington Becomes Mrs. Shanley
Miss Violet Pearl WORTHINGTON, 17 years old, daughter of Mrs. William H. BAKER, of No. 327 Orchard street, was
married on Tuesday last to James SHANLEY, 19 years old, of Brown street. The young people were married in Canada
and are living with the bride's parents in Orchard street.
The young couple leaped into the limelight about two years ago, when Mrs. BAKER complained to the police that her
daughter was missing from home and that she had threatened to make away with herself. A day or so later the girl
was found in Geneva, whither she had gone in search of employment. She was in communication all the time with young
SHANLEY, who, it appears, was objected to by the BAKERS. SHANLEY'S parents, too, figured in an effort to break
the bond between the young people.
Violet was brought back to Rochester by a detective. At police headquarters she declared that she had left home
because of her stepfather's abuse, and that the whole trouble lay in the fact that she was in live with SHANLEY.
She declared that she had confidence in the young man and that the promptings of her heart were of more importance
to her than the objections of a relative by law.
Justice CHADSEY declined to entertain the charge of vagrancy that was preferred against the girl. Exonerated in
this way. Miss WORTHINGTON went to her home. Her mother evidently made up her mind that it was useless to try to
keep the twain apart. GjS

JAMES M. ROBINSON OF GENESEO, IS DEAD
Sudden Death of Prominent Citizen.
Geneseo, March 11 James M. ROBINSON, one of Geneseo's most prominent citizens, died suddenly this morning at 7
o'clock. Mr. ROBINSON had been a sufferer with asthma for several years, but his death was not expected. In fact
he had been walking around the streets of Geneseo the day before his death, had talked with several friends and
seemed in better health than usual.
Mr. ROBINSON had been a resident of Geneseo since the spring of 1899, when he moved from Springwater, which was
his native home. He was originally a farmer and owned some valuable land near Springwater, but later gave up that
occupation and became manager of some large estates for their owners and also, engaged in contracting.
In politics the deceased was a Democrat of the old school, and was prominent in his party's counsels. In 1881 he
was a delegate to the convention in Chicago that nominated Grover Cleveland for the presidency. When Roswell P.
FLOWER was Governor of the state he held the office under him of assistant commissioner of agriculture. He was
his party's county candidate for sheriff in 1897 and had run for other local offices, but without election as Livingston
is a strong Republican county.
After moving to Geneseo Mr. ROBINSON became active in local affairs, served as chief engineer of the fire department
for two years, was connected with the board of education of the Geneseo union school and was fire warden for a
number of years. He was a member of the Masons and the Maccabees.

BEHEADED BY TRAIN NEAR HORNELL CITY
Paul Rees Meets Ghastly Death on Erie
Hornell, March 11 - Shortly after daylight this morning the headless and mutilated body of a man was discovered
lying beside the Erie tracks at a point just east of the city limits. The ghastly discovery was made by members
of a switch engine crew, and the crew after some minutes search found the head belonging to the body. It was in
the ditch at the side of the track.
Coroner WAKELY was summoned, and the body was removed to the baggage room at the Erie station. Patrolman Henry
SNYDER identified the body as that of Paul REES, about 48 years of age, who formerly resided on Summer street.
Mrs. Andrew SIKSO, of Delaware avenue, a sister of REES, also identified the body.
Mr. REES was a glazier by occupation, and for a number of years was in the employ of the McConnell Manufacturing
Company, of this city.
Some time ago he went to Philadelphia and obtained employment. Owing to the strike in that city he decided to return
to Hornell, and wrote home to that effect last week. This was the last that the family had heard from him until
his body was discovered beside the railroad tracks this morning.
It is thought that REES was riding an Erie freight train unto this city and that he fell between the cars just
before he reached the city limits.
Mrs. REES left the city some days ago, presumably for Rochester, and an attempt will be made to locate her in that
city this afternoon. The funeral will be held to-morrow afternoon.

Hornell, March 11 - Forrest TULLER, 78 years of age, residing in Madison avenue, when he attempted to cross a ditch
this morning with a load of long edgings on his shoulder slipped and fell in the water. The kindling wood completely
covered him and kept his head under water. Owing to his advanced age Mr. TULLER would have drowned had not his
daughter, who heard the noise of his fall, hurried to his rescue. Mr. TULLER was unconscious, and it was some time
before a physician who was hastily summoned could revive him. Owing to his advanced age, the shock occasioned by
his fall and getting his lungs filled with water, the condition of Mr. TULLER is considered serious.
