FRED H. MERZ

His Death a Loss to the Community as Well as His Friends

The death of Fred H. MERZ which occurred Friday afternoon calls for more than
a passing notice. Mr. MERZ was born in this city 46 years ago; was educated
in the public schools and then entered with his father in the flour milling
business. About four years ago he entered the postoffice as mail clerk.

Mr. Merz was a prominent Odd Fellow, being a member of Genesee Lodge, No. 3,
as well as of Mount Hope Encampment No. 2. For many years he has been
president of the Odd Fellows Fraternal Union. He was also a member of Monroe
Council, No. 243, Royal Arcanum.

He is mourned by his aged mother, wife, three daughters, Gertrude A., Grace
E., and Kittie L., and four brothers and two sisters. His life and character
were of sterling upbringing, as is manifested by the universal expression of
sorrow among his associates.

The funeral will take place Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, from his late
residence, 54 Wilder street and will be in charge of the Odd Fellows.

INSISTED ON RIDING

Intoxicated Man Broke into Jail When He Climbed into Patrol Wagon.

Police business was so heavy night, yesterday and last night that the two
police patrol wagons were necessary to convey the prisoners to the police
station. When box No. 461 rang in from the corner of Grape and Romeyn streets
about 9:30 o'clock last night, the extra wagon that responded was in charge
of Acting Patrol Sargeant VAN AUKER and Officer Joseph NOLAN. John SULLIVAN
held the ribbons in a masterly manner.

On Campbell street a crowd of women held up the wagon and begged the
officers, to take Peter MATT, who was lolling lazily on the grass, in a
drunken dream. He was loaded in and the officers went to the fire.

Then an alarm from the corner of Brown and Maple called the officers there,
and James K. Reynolds insisted on climbing into the patrol wagon after
repeated ??pulses. He was drunk and the officers accommodated him with a seat
beside MATT It is seldom that men insist on arresting themselves, which was
literally what this man did.

IMAGINATION CAUSED HYSTERICS

While Mr. and Mrs. William RICHER, of No. 255 Tremont street, were riding to
the city, last night from Sea Breeze. RICHER's hat blew off and landed in the
street. RICHER jumped off while the car was in motion. Mrs. RICHER got the
notion that her husband was killed and became hysterical. She was removed to
the Homeopathic Hospital in a very nervous frame of mind. Her husband was
later found to be uninjured.
*****

A lawn fete will be held on Wednesday afternoon and evening of this week, on
the grounds of Mrs. Henry BRINKER, on Hart street, for the benefit of the
