SENECA
How Thieves Used a Dog to Burglarize a Barber Shop
A bold robbery was committed at Waterloo Thursday night. On going
to his barber shop yesterday morning, Dewitt NOBLES found the tracks of a dog on
the couch. Upon looking further he discovered that six razors, two pair of
shears, one pair of clippers and several hones and straps were missing. The
burglars had broken out a pane of glass, raised the window and evidently sent
the dog in to reconnoitre. They thus found that no one was sleeping within and,
entering the window themselves, they stole the property. No money was taken by
the thieves.
"Pig Lane" in Seneca Falls, by consent of the Board of Trustees, will

A CASE OF INFANTICIDE
A Babe Buried Among Potato Vines in Churchville
Possibly The Third Victim
Incensed Neighbors Start an Investigation--
Its Startling Results--
Was it Strangled?--
Investigation to be Continued in Sweden
Several days ago a report was brought to Poormaster C. S. KNAPP of
Churchville that a girl named Maggie PRICE had given birth to an illegitimate
child and had killed it. The girl it seems has been living on a small farm three
miles north of Churchville, with her aunt, Mrs. McCARING and her cousin a man
about thirty years of age. The people have not borne a very good reputation for
a long time and their neighbors, who are respectable farmers, have been
scandalized and incensed at their doings and their manner of living. Some time
since the neighbors suspected that the girl mentioned was about to give birth to
a child and as the girl is positively known to have given birth to another child
several years ago and the child died under suspicious circumstances, being found
buried under a cow shed, the people of the vicinity thought they might better
expose any foul play than to allow it to be carried on. A German farmer watched
the place closely and came to the conclusion that another child had been born
and was no longer living. His suspicions were confirmed in ways unnecessary to
mention and he went to the poormaster as has been stated.
Mr. KNAPP immediately telegraphed to Coroner SHARPE who visited
Churchville yesterday afternoon and he with the poormaster drove over to the
place where the girl lives.
A Democrat and Chronicle reporter went out to Churchville on a
later train and saw Mr. KNAPP and several citizens of the place who described
the manner in which the said infant was found and related various stories
concerning the girl in question. When the coroner reached the place he found the
girl in the house. When questioned by the Coroner she finally acknowledged the
birth of the child and also said it was dead and buried in a potato patch near
the house. Upon proceeding to the place designated, the dead infant was found
with one hand protruding through the ground, and upon being unearthed a stout
piece of wool twine was found tied about its neck. The girl afterward admitted
that she had placed the cord about its neck but would not acknowledge that she
had killed it. The child was strong and healthy in appearance and weighed about
eight pounds. The girl was confined on Saturday last.
The mother and the dead babe were brought to Churchville, but as
the place where the affair occurred was just over the town line and in the
township of Sweden, the justice in Churchville could not do anything with the
case and the poormaster, Mr. KNAPP, did not wish to assume for that town the
expenses of the burial, so the dead babe and the mother were taken to Sweden,
where the coroner will continue the investigation.
The girl is about 21 years of age and not bad looking but is said
not to be very intelligent. Her reputation is very unsavory and it is said that
this is her third illegitimate child. She is of Irish and Welsh extraction and
her people live in the village of Churchville, where her father who is a day
laborer has always borne a respected name.
The girl stated, and it is believed, that she had no attendant
during her sickness and that no physician had anything to do with her case.
A telegraph despatch was received last evening from Brockport,
stating that Maggie PRICE and her dead infant were taken to that village last
evening and that Coroner's Physician COLEMAN held an examination and decided
that the child had lived some time after birth. The girl was brought to this
city on the evening train in charge of Constable GUENTHER and was remanded to
the jail for safe keeping until Monday when the inquest will be held by Coroner
SHARPE.

and Lydia SCHAEFFER, of the same age, whose mother resides in Philadelphia, had
been taken from Castle Garden to-day by a strange woman. Both girls arrived from
Germany yesterday. The woman, who described herself as Julia WATCHTENER, was a

THE NEW YORK POSTOFFICE
New York, June 8 - Postmaster General WANAMAKER to-day inspected
the postoffice in this city. After he got through he said the accommodations for
work were very meagre. He could hardly conceive he said of a dirtier building in
the country. The clerks work in cramped quarters, they are almost in total
darkness, and the ventilation is poor. It is probable a suggestion of Mr.
HUIDECKER will be considered favorably, namely, the building of an annex to the
postoffice.

SUSPENDED BY CHIEF ARTHUR
St. Louis, June 8 - The charter of Division 327, of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, has been suspended by Chief ARTHUR. This division is
composed chiefly of engineers employed by the bridge and tunnel company here,

of suspension is said to be the expulsion of three members who refused to
abandon their engines during the strike of 1888.

THEY MAY BUILD FENCES
Cheyenne, Wyo., June 8 - The Territorial Supreme Court has decided
that owners of land may fence the same, even if in doing so they close

have been fenced by individuals and corporations in Wyoming. The case will be
carried to the United States Supreme Court.

DISTRESS AMONG INDIANA MINERS
New York, June 8 - A Herald special from Indianapolis says there
are in Clay county, Indiana, over 9,000 people at the verge of starvation. They
include the striking miners and their families. There are 5,050 now on the
relief list, and additions are being made every day. Women are selling their
wedding rings and other little treasures, while fathers are selling the trinkets
of their children to get bread to keep them from starving. All of their
furniture and more substantial belongings were disposed of weeks ago. The miners
have been out since May 1st and have been refused all sorts of offers to
arbitrate and settle their differences with the operators. For the past five
years the maximum wages received by the miners has been but $5 a week.

A Sharp Rivalry Between Medina and Albion in Fourth of July Celebrations
There can be but little doubt that in the matter of Fourth of July
celebrations there will be considerable rivalry between Medina and Albion this
year. Albion was first in the field, but Medina people feel that with two fairs

A Midnight Summer's Dream Modernized From Shakespeare
It is a beautiful scene. In the distance is a stately range of
mountains; for miles and miles stretch wooded slopes, through which wound
sinuous streams of sparkling water tumbling over the rocks and sweeping down the
gentle declivities until they empty into the broad river sweeping by at our
feet. The sun well down is just gilding the scattering clouds at the western end
of the valley. The visitor is in a beautiful garden on the banks of the river.
Fountains are jetting forth crystal waters which display the prismatic colors as
the eye looks through them at the descending sun. On the river a score of white
winged sail boats are flitting along before a gentle breeze. Parties of pleasure
seekers are rowing, fishing and bathing on the grand old river. Innumerable
sweet voiced songsters are trilling and warbling in the grove to the right as
though their little throats would burst with melody. The light breeze wafts to
the nostrils all the perfumes of the Orient from masses of flowers in yonder
parterre.
An orchestra in the grove is playing exquisite symphonies.
Beautiful maidens are tripping about and singing lullabies. Tables are spread in
the summer garden and are covered with all the danties that can tempt the
appetite of the most fastidious. The visitor is invited to be seated and partake
-- "Hi there, get up," and the policeman sticks his foot into the ribs
of the dreamer.
It all vanishes. Sick at his stomach the hero of the Arabian Nights
arises from his couch which is in close proximity to the sewer and brushes the
mud from his eyes, blows the sewer gas from his nose and leans up against the
curb stone to take a retrospect.
Such are the joys and sorrows of "getting full." One
moment in the vale of Tempe in sight of Olympus, the next in the sewer in sight
of the police station.

superior butter may be expected. The latter is better this spring than in some
years before. So much wet rendering low lands unfit for other crops, buckwheat
will be sewed as a supplement.

WAYNE
The Most Furious Rain Storm Lyons Ever Experienced
Lyons has been visited by frequent showers almost every day since the 1st inst.,
but the one that came at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon was the heaviest ever
experienced in that locality. According to Dr. VEEDER'S rain gauge, an
instrument furnished him by the government, one inch of water fell in ten
minutes. The wind blew forty-five miles an hour, lightning flashed at minute
intervals, followed by deafening thunder and the rain fell with astonishing
force. The storm lasted but a few minutes, yet considerable damage was done.
Lightning struck the residence of Mrs. JUNE, on Phelps street, making a hole
through the roof and passing out through the clapboards. Telephones and wires
were considerably damaged. The rainfall was so great that the water soaked earth
could not absorb it and all the waterways were insufficient to carry it off.
HOTCHKISS pond, a small sheet of water on the hill west of that village,
suddenly grew to twice its normal size, and then overflowed, flooding gardens,
cellars, lawns and streets. In the lower part of the village the streets
resembled the Venetian canals. A stream which has its source on the Rice hill
and is conducted through a part of the village by means of a drain, became too
large for its usual channel and came tearing down the hill upon the surface,
flooding the garden and lawn surrounding G. H. CRAMER's handsome residence and
emptied itself into Broad street, almost completely submerging it. Many gardens
crops were destroyed and the contents of cellars badly damaged.
--The collection at the Presbyterian church in Lyons Sunday, for the Johnstown
relief fund amounted to $95.
--The Onondaga Conference camp meeting begins to-day in Spoor's grove at
Savannah, and will continue over Sunday.

THE NEW VINEGAR FACTORY
The Organization is Prospering -- Over $100,000 Worth of Stock Taken
The Rochester capitalists who are interesting themselves in the
organization of a vinegar and cider company in Rochester are meeting with good
success, and the subscriptions to the capital stock are being rapidly taken up.
About $100,000 has already been subscribed.
The committee of business men appointed by the Chamber of Commerce,
after a careful investigation have reported strongly in favor of the project and
recommended it as a safe and profitable investment. Cider and its product cider
vinegar can be produced cheaper in Rochester than any place in the United
States. It is thought by those who have made a careful investigation, that with
the cheapness of fruit and the railroad facilities that the company can pay very
large dividends yearly.
Among the prominent business men who head the subscription to the
stock are Hon. Charles S. BAKER, J. Moreau SMITH, W. S. KIMBALL, Colonel Francis
S. KING, W. H. YERKES, H. S. MACKIE, J. Y. McCLINTOCK, James W. FRY, W. M.

subscribe may call upon Secretary McCLINTOCK.

A Good Circus Performance at Popular Prices
The circus has come to town. It is a cheap circus and, facing the
personal risk involved in quoting from "Pinafore" at this late date,
it may be remarked that it is "a right good circus too." It is known
as "Bob HUNTING'S Ten-cent Railroad Show," which title is too modest
to be sufficiently descriptive, and it has pitched its tents at the corner of
East Main street and University avenue were it will give afternoon and evening
performances throughout the week.
The tent was crowded both yesterday afternoon and evening with an
audience that got a good deal more than its money's worth. All the acts are good
and even old veterans in the show business pronounced it a "rattling good
show."

IT WAS A FATAL DOSE
Jennie Doty, Keeper of a Notorious Resort, Commits Suicide
Jennie DOTY, the keeper of a notorious Hill street resort,
committed suicide yesterday morning by taking a dose of corrosive sublimate.
The explanation given by her friends for this action was that a

investments in real estate. These reverses she brooded over and, it is _- she
threatened many times to end her life. Sunday the woman was out driving and
returned in the evening somewhat under the influence of liquor. About 1:30
o'clock yesterday morning, in the presence of inmates of the resort, she
produced a __ and drank its contents, which was found to be corrosive sublimate.
She died about _ o'clock.

case granted a certificate, deeming an inquest unnecessary. The deceased woman
was about 45 years old. She has kept a disreputable house in this city for the

she was a sister of a woman named "Mate" HALL, who was at the time the

Brief Sketch of the Late Hon. HORATIO N. Wood, of Hamlin
Ex-Supervisor Horatio N. WOOD who died suddenly at his home in
Hamlin Sunday morning, aged 85 years, was born in Manlius, Onondaga county, when
he spent his boyhood. When 14 years old he came with his parents to Clarkson,
then known as Murray. He for nearly half a century lived in that town. For the
past twenty-two years he had resided in Hamlin with his son, Enos B. WOOD. The
community was shocked to hear of his death, which was caused by disease of the
heart and arteries. He awoke Sunday morning about 6:30 o'clock and was found
dead by his son, F. c. WOOD, in a sitting position, who supposed that he had
fallen asleep. The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church
yesterday. The pastor, Rev. Dr. BULL, officiating. A large concourse of
relatives and friends attended. As a citizen Mr. WOOD was just and kind and
public spirited; as a father ardent and constant in his affections and ever
tenderly devoted; as a friend there was no one more loyal, liberal and
unselfish. Quick to resent an injury, he was placable and ready to forgive. If
he ever unknowingly wronged another, his magnanimity in repressing it was prompt
and noble. His integrity and honor were never questioned. _ncorruptible and
sincere, he was ever ready alike to defend a friend and the friendless. Once his
confidence was won, nothing but dishonor could sever the tie that bound him to
his fellow man. The lesson of his well spent life will ever be before those who
knew him. He was a life-long Republican and had occupied positions of trust, the
gifts of his party.
