HIT ON HEAD BY A BRICK, VICTIM LOST BOTH MEMORY AND SPEECH
James Donovan Had to be Told the Names of His Own Children - Sues for $20,000.
Claiming that his client has been rendered into a being whose memory is lost,
who does not know the names of any of his nine children unless they are told
to him, that parts of his skull are gone and the shock to his brain such that
he will eventually become an epileptic, mentally deranged, incompetent and a
care upon his family, Attorney F. L. DUTCHER served papers yesterday
afternoon in a suit for $20,000 damages in the interests of James E. DONOVAN,
of this city, against Hiram H. EDGERTON, and the John SIDDONS Company,
contractors.
Mr. DUTCHER claims that for nine days after his client had been removed from
beside the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway Company's office building,
upon which he was working. DONOVAN lay unconscious in St. Mary's Hospital,
absolutely devoid of feeling, speech or reason. His case proved a rare study
for the surgeons, who, after consultations, decided that the only means of
saving the man's life, with a possible chance of restoring his faculties, was
to remove a portion of the skull bones, which were fractured and pierced the
brain.
DONOVAN, it is alleged, was struck on the head by a brick which fell seventy
feet. The mishap occurred on November 25th last, at the southwest corner of
Main street west and Washington street, while the plaintiff was employed on
the building as a metal worked by the John SIDDONS Company.
It is alleged that one of the workmen knocked off the missile which caused
such disastrous results to DONOVAN, and several who witnessed the accident
thought the victim dead.
A peculiar feature of the case is that the man has apparently lost his memory
and has been obliged to virtually to learn how t talk again. His vocabulary
was diminished to a few simple words such as "yes" and "no." Even his own
children, when pointed out to him, were as strangers and their names were
repeated to him over and over before he could remember how to address them.
When he comes downtown on a car, it is said, he cannot recall the names of
the streets, and his recollection of all important matters is vague and
indistinct.

HIS COMPLAINT DISMISSED
Tailor, Who Sued Former Employer, Has No Cause of Action
Hornell, July 5 - A law suit somewhat out of the ordinary has occupied the
attention of the Justice court for the last five days, but was brought to a
close at a late hour Tuesday afternoon. James MURPHY, a tailor, applied for
and was given a position some time ago by the Ryan tailoring establishment.
After working seven weeks he left the employ of the Ryan establishment and
opened a place of business for himself. He at once began a suit against his
former employer, claiming that the amount of $150 was due him in addition to
what he had already paid, as agreed when he began work.
Justice C. E. BEARD and a jury of five have listened to the evidence for five
days, a large number of witnesses being sworn in MURPHY'S behalf. The manager
of the Ryan establishment, Mr. HILLMAN, was the only witness for the defense.
The jury returned a verdict of no cause of action.

POLICE ROUND UP ALLEGED BURGLARS
Two Men Accused of Robbing Geneva Home Caught With Goods
Geneva, July 5 - The residence of William DELAMARTER was entered by burglars
at an early hour this morning. Mr. DELAMARTER was awakened at 2 o'clock by
the sound of some one down stairs, but did not think that the house was being
burglarized. A short time after she went down stairs and found the back door
open, the window screen cut out and the window raised. She examined the room
and found things in disorder and a silver watch and $2 gone.
This morning the police were notified and Chief KANE sent Policemen HAWKINS
and KINNEY on the case. About 9 o'clock HAWKINS got a line on a man who was
trying to dispose of a meerschaum pipe in the McAuliffe saloon on Exchange
street. Policeman KINNEY who was working the case farther down the street
discovered a suspicious character in T. F. BRENNEN'S cafe near the Central
depot. The fellow was in the act of pouring out a drink when KINNEY entered
the place.
The policeman grabbed the bottle from his hand and immediately put the irons
on his wrists before the fellow knew what was going on. He attempted to put
up a fight but the arrival of HAWKINS soon put that idea from his mind. He
did, however, make resistance and it was necessary for the policemen to drag
him part way to the station, where he gave his name as Ryan.
When searched the watch which was stolen from the DELAMARTER home was found
on him, also a dozen silver spoons, a berry spoon, a clinical thermometer and
several other articles. The man was locked up pending further investigation.
