DEATH FROM AN OVERDOSE OF LANDANUM. -- George MULLINER, a former resident of
Penfield, but recently od Fairport, came to this city on Monday last and took
rooms at the Clinton House. Nothing was seen of Mr. M. afterward, until
Tuesday afternoon his room was visited, and it was determined to force the door
open.-- He was found lying on the bed in a half insensible condition. Later in
the evening it was discovered that MULLINER had taken two ounces of
landanum. Remedies were administered by Drs. WHITBECK and BUCKLEY but without effect.
Yesterday, about 3 o'clock, Mr. MULLINER died. Coroner MORRISON was called
and held an inquest. The jury found that deceased had been accustomed to use
landanum for a severe headache, and in this instance the overdose was
unintentional. Deceased was a married man, and his wife and two children were at his
bedside at the time of his death. Last week he made a contract for a farm
and had paid $5,000 down, and his visit to this city was to complete the
papers. He was forty-five years of age, and had a life insurance of $10,000.

DEATH OF DARIUS COLE

The citizens of Rochester were startled on Saturday, in the midst of the
driving business, which is always more intense on that day -- with the sad
intelligence that Darius COLE, an old and respected citizen, had been suddenly
called out of life. Mr. COLE had been prostrated by disease some weeks ago, and
was reported in a critical condition. But it was supposed he had so far
recovered as to be out of danger, yet while in his office on Saturday, suddenly
became alarmingly ill. In less than an hour the illness ended in death -- this
disease being reported neuralgia of the heart. As he had been a resident here
over forty years, and much of the time in a large business, I have thought it
due to him to make some notice of who and what he was.
Mr. COLE was a copper, tin and sheet iron worker. He learned his trade
of a relative of this, Mr. Sylvester PIER, of New York city, and came to
Rochester in 1826, where he opened business in company with a Mr. ROBERTSON, on
Exchange street, west side, north of the canal. A few years later he removed
to Child's building, on the south side of the same street, and in his own
name prosecuted his business.-- __, old inhabitants all well remember his sign,
"D. COLE, coppersmith," which surmounted his door, and "the click of hammers
closing rivets up" which for years rung in that building. After the Central
Railroad opened he was largely employed by that Company in repairing their
engines, especially in making and repairing the copper flues which were for a
long time used, but were finally abandoned for wrought iron. The raising up of
Exchange street Canal bridge so incommoded him, and injured his business that
after near a quarter of a century in his old quarters he removed in 1851 to
a store on the west side of State street, nearly opposite to Mumford street,
where he continued business nearly ten years, when reverses came upon him
which crippled him very much, and partially discouraged him. -- Closing his
business there he went, in 1861, to California, where, for about three years, he
tried what change and new enterprises would do to repair his lost fortunes.
Not meeting with the measure of success as he anticipated and hoped for, he
very wisely concluded to return to Rochester among his old friends, which he
did, and entered again into his occupation, and later years has been engaged in
business among the people as of yore, taking a place of business not far
above the very place on Exchange street where he had in earlier days labored so
long and successfully. Here, after a few years, in which he realized the
truth that "men do best to work for their money where they have lost it," death
has suddenly brought his earthly labors to a close, and made us all realize
that "in the midst of life, we are in death."
Mr. COLE was a great worker, and with a large force, in an early day
did much by his business and personally, to build up the city. He was an
unassuming, quiet man, yet always steadily engaged, and was many years very
successful. -- The writer can recollect from the very day he opened on Exchange
street, and where he introduced the first cooking stove called "Wilson's patent,"
which though then the leading article on that line, bears no resemblance to
the improved of our day, and would now, if re-produced be a curiosity.
As an honest man, a good citizen, and a kind husband and father, he is
especially to be commended, and as a genial companion, many of our earlier
citizens who were in business when he was, can testify -- but to none will his
death fall so heavily as upon his wife and children, who have shared with him
his prosperity and adversity, and sympathy, so many years. To them in their
bereavement, the citizens will accord their sincere commiseration.
