HORSE FRIGHTENED BY A MONKEY Antoine Dufour and Party Thrown From Their Carriaje, There was no little excitement oa Vick park, Avenue A. last evening. Sigaor Macaroni and his hand-organ, with the monkey attached, was a little too full of vim to suit a mettlesome steed driven by Antonio Dufour, and the result was i runaway.

Mr. Pmfour, accompanied by his wif and child, a Mr. J. Tabor and Mrs. Tabor, went out for a drive, and happening to pass through Vick park met the music vendor.

The horse reared and plunged, and after some difficulty was restrained, but at just the moment it was got under control one of the reins broke and in few seconds the buggy was left to its own devices, as was the steed for the time being. The carriage was overturned ana the occupants spilled out. The Homeopathic Hospital ambulance was and during the short wait the luckless riders were extricated from the wagon. It was ascertained that no bonei were broken, though all had received a shaking up. The ambulance took the members of the party home.

The horse was taken to its quarters a later hour and the worthy son of wended his way to the northward. Dufour is a member of the firm of Puiwr Warren, doing business at No. 43 Ft avenue, and his residence is at Brighton avenue.

Those interested in the Faith Mission are greatly enjoying the second annual convention of the association, which is now in session at the rooms on Stillson street, corner of East Main.

Deep enthusiasm is manifested, and a number of interesting testimonies are features of the meeting. A prescribed programme is not followed at any of the meetings, but aside from a few speakers who have made engagements to be present, the people take part as they tseem called upon, speaking upon such topics as they feel at the time inspired to handle, entire convention is in charge of 3irs. E. V. Baker, superintendent of the Rochester Association.

The convention opened yesterday morning and will continue through Sunday. The services began with a consecration meeting, which was followed by an excellent address from Rev. It. E. Burton, pastor of the Delaware Avenue Baptist Church, of Syracuse.

The discourse was both a beautiful and very helpful one, treating of "The Holy Spirit." The afternoon exercises were commenced at 2 o'clock, when many requests for prayer were received, after which Mr. Burton made remarks that were a continuation of the morning address. Much earnestness was evident upon this occasion. Those present in the evening listened to Miss Mary Moore, of Syracuse, who spoke extemporaneously. It is not decided in just what order the speakers will 'take part to-day, but the following persons will be heard sometime during the day: Miss Anna Prosser, superintendent of Bible Institute, Buffalo; Rev.

Albert Norton, a returned missionary from India, The members of the Rochester Faith Mission are especially interested in this oriental country from the fact that they are supporting a missionary of their own there, Miss Jessie Edmunds. The views of this association are often confounded with those of the Christian Scientists, but they are very different, and many will be interested to learn that they bear a close resemblance to those of the famous London divine. Dr. B. F.

Myers, who was heard in this city last winter. IN FITCHBURG TERRITORY. Great Eastern Tourist Route and Pleasant Regiona Reached by Its Lines. The Fitchburg road, the famous "Hoosac tunnel route," isc at most as well known this section of the country as it is in the territory through which its lines pass. For many Western New Yorkers are given to spending their summers at the famous New England resorts, on the Maine coast, at Nantucket, at Newport, in the White mountains and the Berkshire hills; and these Western New Yorkers habitually use the Fitchburg to convey them eastward, knowing by experience its many attractions and advantages.

There is no better built or better run railroad in the country than the Fitchburg. Its service includes every latest improvement that tends to perfect the luxury of modern railway travel. Its lines traverse some of the most picturesque scenery in America. But while the general features of the Fitchburg road and the attractions of the more prominent summer resorts reached by its lines are well known to the public, there is a host of charming places in Fitchburg territory, that every one planning for his summer rest ought to know about and that everyone doesn't know about. As a help and guide to the seekers of summer homes and to summer tourists, J.

It. Watson, general passenger agent of the Fitchburg, has caused to be published a neatly bound, handsomely printed and beautifully illustrated little book which particularly describes these summering places, telling succinctly just what the summer-home-seeker wants to know about them. their attractions, special features, location, means of access, hotels, rates, etc. Moreover the book contains a carefully arranged list of New England tours, to fit all leisures and all purses, among which you cannot fail to find one that will, in all respects, exactly suit you. No one should finally settle for himself and family the momentous question, "Where shall we go this summer';" without studying "Summer Excursions via the Fitchburg," a copy of which can be procured by addressing General Passenger Agent J.

R. Watson, Boston, Mass. THE FEDERAL BUILDING. The Bids for the Improvements Wers Opened Yesterday. The bids on the work of painting and miscellaneous improvements on the federal building have been opened by Collector of Customs George P.

Local on 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 George Hunt Leaped From a Third-Story Window. DIED AN HOUR LATER Deceased Told a Fellow Inmate Last Sunday That He Was doing to Make the Fatal Jump Verdict of Suicide While Temporarily Insane. George Hunt, aged 55 years, for only a week an inmate of the Monroe county almshouse, committed suicide at twenty minutes after 7 o'clock yesterday morning by jumping from a third-story window of that institution. Hunt had been atllicted with locomotor ataxia and partial paralysis for several months, and had to use crutches.

He had no money, and as his relatives have all they can do to support themselves, he was made a city charge on the 17th inst. He complained of rheumatic pains, and although he made no objections to the treatment he received at the hospital, he expressed a desire to be allowed to leave the institution. From the evidence brought out at the coroner's inquest held at the city morgue yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, there is no doubt that. Hunt had been nerving himself for the attempt upon his own life for several days. Hunt was badly crippled and could only walk with difficulty.

George J. McNall, warden at the county hospital, testified at the inquest that Hunt had told him thnt he wanted to leave the institution. McNall told him that if his sister felt able and willing to take care of him no objections would be made on the part of the authorities. Witness and Hunt conversed about the matter Thursday, and the necessary arrangements were to be made when the sister should call to see her brother to-day. Dr.

John G. Elliott, the house physician, testified that Hunt died about an hour after he jumped from the window. The man was unconscious when assistance reached him. The right arm was fractured at the elbow joint, there was a contusion of the right shoulder, dislocation of the right thumb, and a fracture at the base of the brain. Several ribs were also broken and torn from the spine.

John Ballagh. the nurse of the hospital ward where Hunt was confined during his week's stay at the almshouse, said that he was making his rounds yesterday morning when his attention was attracted by the sound of Hunt's falling crutches striking the floor. He saw Hunt leaning far out of the window, and suspecting the man's design, he dropped the tray that he was carrying and rushed to the window. By this time Hunt had the whole of his body out of the window and was hanging to the sill with one hand preparing for the fatal jump. Ballagh grabbed hold of the arm, but the weight of the body dragged the coat from his grasp and Hunt fell.

The most important witness was Robert White, an inmate of the hospital ward. White testified that as long ago as last Sunday Hunt had told him that he was going to jump through the window. Hunt's sister, Mrs. Rebecca Patterson, of No. 41 Caledonia avenue, had told witness that her brother had told her the same thing.

When asked why he did not tell the warden or nurse of Hunt's intentions, White said that he thought that Hunt was only fooling, as he acted all right. He appeared to be sane. Hunt, however, seemed to worry a good deal. He told White on Tuesday that if his sister did not take him from the almshouse he would jump through a window the first chance he got to do so. Mrs.

Patterson told White to keep an eye on her brother, but White told her there would be no danger. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that George Hunt came to his death by jumping from a window while temporarily insane. Hunt lived in Rochester for many years, being employed as a cartman. He was more familiarly known as "Hunt, the cartman." AN AGED MAN INJURED. Horacs Tibbies, 86 Years Old, Struck by a Trolly Car on South Avenue.

Horace Tibbies, SO years old, an inmate of the Monroe county almshouse, was quite badly injured on South avenue, opposite that institution, about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. A lady friend of the old gentleman called at the institution early in the afternoon and obtained permission to take Tibbies out for a walk. When she left the old man she boarded a South avenue electric car, and Tibbies seated himself on the steps of the long veranda in front of Brede's concert saloon. As another car of the South avenue line came along, the onductor saw the prostrate body of Tibbies lying on the rails just behind the car. The car was stopped, and Tibbies was carried to the almshouse, where it was found that his right leg was fractured just below the knee, and that the right ankle joint was dislocated.

There was also a large cut on the left foot. The motorman of the car which struck Tibbies said that he saw the old man sitting on the steps when the car passed Brede's. The car rails are quite cb-se to the steps and the supposition is that Tibbies started to cross the tracks nnd on account of his defective eyesight and hearing owing to advanced years, he did r.ot notice the car, the rear step of which, it is supposed, struck him in the leg. Despite the fact that Tibbies is an octogenarian, Superintendent of the Poor Lodge yesterday stated that the old man was doing nicely. He does not seem to suffer much from the shock, and aside from the injuries mentioned he was r.ot much bruised by the accident.

Tibbies has been an inmate of the county house for several years. CHARLES HURLEY HELD. Cass of th Alleged Counterfeiter Will Go Before the Federal Grand Jury. The examination of Charles Hurley, one of the men arrested Monday by the federal authorities on the charge of making counterfeit money, was held yesterday before I'nited State Commissioner John M.
