Stroke Which Rctfnlts Fatally.
Melvin L. Rose, a well-known resi­
dent of this village is dead. He died at
6.30 a. m. this morning, Ms death being
caused by a second stroke of paralysis.
On the night of March 1st, 1887, Mr.
Rose, who was a trusted engineer on
the Erie railroad, was running the fast
St. Louis Express over the Delaware di­
vision, when he was suddenly attacked
with a stroke of paralysis, and sank
helpless on his seat in the cab of the en­
gine. How long he remained in that
position, with the train running at the
rate of 50 miles an hour, is not known;
suffice it to say that fiis fireman discov­
ered him unconscious, stopped the train
at the first station, and Mr. ^Bose was
sent home the following day. He never
recovered from the effects of that stroke,
having been an invalid ever since, while
Ms mind—prior to tliat time active and
vigorous—became somewhat clouded.
His death was therefo're not unexpected.
Mr. Rose was a kind-hearted, affiible
and entertaining mah, and was espe­
cially kind to his wife, and near intimate
friends. He was horfi at Gilboa, Scho­
harie county, N. Y., qn Feb. 2Sd, 1834.
For 33 years he had been employed as a
locomotive engineer, most of the time
on the Erie, and was regarded as one of
its most efficient employees. He took
up Ms residence in this village about 13
years ago, Ms home prior to that for
some years being at Owego. Almost
every man on the Delaware and Sus­
quehanna divisions was acquainted with

Blooming Grove and Palmyra, on notes
for $193, each alleged to have been given
to a travelling agent for a Buffalo fertil­
izing company in 1880, for fertilizing
material never received, has came to
nonsuit owing to the failure of the plain­
tiff, one Dunning, of Auburn, to appeal
within the proper time. These notes
were given as contracts which seem to
have been altered or forged into notes.
No doubt, the alleged agent was a swind­
ler-one of the sort of sharps that have
victimized so many farmers in this State.
These swindlers seem to regard the
“Pennsylvania Dutch” as lawful prey,
or at least as easy prey.
Eddie Geisenheimer headed a nice
party of some 30 or more couples of
young ladies and gentlemen of Port Jer­
vis’at George Frieh’s new hotel here,
last evening. The party had a real nice
time and everything was both lovely and
lively. Eddie was in Ms glory and was
the soul of the party, making everybody
happy. There were many very pretty
girls and some very nice young men in­
cluding Mr. Snook, formerly of The
Gazette. There was dancing to the
music of a Port Jervis orchestra followed
by a good supper. The party lasted till
the “we sma’ hours” and broke up and
retired in good order.
No jurors were drawn for the coming
March term of court which, consequent­
ly, will be a pretty dull one. The new
trial granted the Water Company will
not come off until June.

stated that “ it took brains to kill an in ­

have such a party residing not far from

owner of a dog of \^xejemellct grade, was
annoyed by the nightly howlings of
other canines about his premises. The
enchanting chorus was kept up for
several evenings and instead of getting
rid of the cause of the disturbance, as he
ought to have done, he took down Ms
long unused “ war relic ” and shot, with
disastrous effect. The result was that

The body of Dr. David Robinson, who
died in St. Joseph’s Hospital at Pater-*
son, was brought to Middletown Mon­
day on the Erie and transferred to No«
1 on the Ontario & Western and taken
to Mountain Dale, Sullivan cou|ity, for
burial. He was an eccentric man with
a singular career. He was born in
Ireland 78 years ago and studied medi­
cine. For 11 years he travelled over
Great Britain as a Wesleyan preacher
and then began to speak and write for
the cause of Irish freedom. In 1848 he
found it prudent to leave the country.
He preached the Methodist doctrine a
few years in America and then aband­
oned theology and took up the practice
of medicine. He had a habit of trying
medicines on himself before he gave
them to Ms patients and this practice
brought on maladies from which he
suffered greatly. The doctor had a wife
and famOy, but the couple separated
long ago because he believed that man
could not conscientiously devote Mmself to any great work when hampered
by a family. The widow lives in
Auburn, N. Y. The doctor was once ■_
rich, but neglected Ms business to write
irious pamphlets and poems.
He was best known for the remarka­
ble claim which he made on the city of
Paterson a few years ago. He olainied
to have stopped an epidemic of small­
pox and several other maladies from the
community by publishing works in which he held that these maladies could
all be broken up by a system of in­
ducing perspiration. He presented to
the Board of Aldermen an itemized bill
for $5,000 for these “ services.” The
Aldermen never did anything with it
except to make fun of it and the doctor
took their neglect greatly to heart. He
also claimed to have broken up yellow
fever in the South and wanted Congress
to pay him for this. He also declared

Some of the young ladies of Kingston,
says the Leader of that city, well up in
chemistry, have discovered a new* sub­
ject for “innocent merriment.” I t is
known as the “ electric kiss,” The way
it is produced is as follows: The girls
go into a not very warm room, upon the
floor of wMch is a brussels carpet. One
of them walks briskly back and forth
over the carpet, with a shuffling move­
ment of-the feet, and then puts her lips
to those of one of her fair compamons,
when the spark or snap wMch indicates
the sudden passage of electricity from
one body to another occurs. ’When the
kiss is given in a dark room this spark
can be seen. They have not “given
away” this little source of fun to the
gentlemen, for fear that the latter will
be wanting to try it on one of the fair
Related to this form of generating
electricity is the trick of lighting a gas
jet, by holding a finger to it. The same
movement over a velvet carpet, above
described, and then a sudden contact of
the finger and the gas burner--with the
gas flowing—wifi, in most cases, pro­
duce a light.
