Lyons, July 3 - Sheriff WHEELER has seized upon and will sell at
public sale at the Court House in this village Saturday, August 12th, the
interest of Aldice G. WARREN in all of the real estate situate in Wayne county

Gardner D. WARREN died at Sodus Point April 21, 1895, leaving his
entire estate estimated at $20,000 in real estate and $50,000 in personal
property, to his nephew, Aldice G. WARREN, directing him to pay as much to his
sister, the testator's niece, Mrs. M. Lauraine CATLIN, as his judgment prompted
him to pay. At that time Aldice G. WARREN was an attorney at law with offices in
the Wilder building in Rochester. Later on he became interested in is now

recover this tax and succeeded in getting the judgment affirmed August 8, 1898,
with interest at the rate of 10 per cent, from May 1, 1895, and $35 costs to the

TRAIN - NARROW ESCAPE
Geneva, July 3 - Chief KANE yesterday received a letter from the
station agent of the Missori Pacific railroad at St. Louis, Mo., stating that a
person supposed to be Charles A. ALBRO of Geneva had been killed on that road
last Wednesday. He was found lying beside the track, in an unconscious
condition, in which state he remained until his death. ALBRO left Geneva last
October. He was well known here, and was familiarly known as "Chuck"
ALBRO. He had lived in the west most of his life. It is said that he was a
cowboy for many years, and he often related many interesting tales of his
experiences on the plains. ALBRO was about 27 years of age, and of good
physique. He was unmarried, being survived by his parents and one brother. He
was buried in St. Louis.
Henry ALLEN, who gives Geneva as his home, narrowly escaped death
Saturday night at Syracuse. He was walking on the tracks of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad, when he was struck by a train and hurled some
thirty feet. He sustained a fraction of the leg and arm, and was otherwise badly
bruised. ALLEN'S name does not appear in the city directory. He is not known to
the police.
Montgomery H. SANDFORD, son of M. S. SANDFORD, cashier of the
Geneva National Bank, had a narrow escape from drowning about 4 o'clock Saturday
afternoon. He was sailing alone in his canoe, and when nearly in the middle of
the lake the wind died almost completely down. The stiff breeze suddenly sprang
up, capsizing SANDFORD's frail craft and throwing him into the cold waters of
old historic Seneca. The accident was witnessed from the shore, and several
boats were soon on their way to the scene. Harry LOCKWOOD and Lynn HENRY, who
were in another sail boat at the time, hastened to SANDFORD'S rescue, and landed
him safely on shore.

KICKED BY A HORSE
Eben Barton Found Unconscious by His Friends
Newark, July 3 - Eben BARTON, a prominent resident, had a strange
experience with his horse this morning at 6 o'clock which resulted in Mr.
BARTON'S collar bone being broken in two places besides several bad bruises.
It seems that Mr. BARTON's horse has been rather cross for some
time, but Mr. BARTON has never been afraid of him. This morning, however, the
animal apparently attacked Mr. BARTON, and as a result he has been unconscious
for three hours. Mrs. BARTON took the horse through the back barn door into the
barnyard to whip him. That is the last that is actually known, for Mr. BARTON
does not remember what happened. About the hour mentioned he was found by his
son-in-law, Walter WILLIAMS, and several neighbors lying in the back barn
doorway and the horse had gotten away and run out on the street.
Drs. REED and THATCHER were summoned. They found BARTON'S left
collar bone broken twice and several bruises on the nose and hip and other
slight fractures which indicate that the horse kicked him.
Herman WRIGHT, clerk in C. A. WELCHER'S, wheeled to Sodus Point
yesterday, and on his return was spilled at Wallington and broke his left collar
bone.

RALLY OF MOHAWKS
Well-Known Labor Leaders Address Le Roy Residents
Le Roy, July 3 - About one year ago a political organization known
as the Mohawks instituted a tent here. These are springing up everywhere, but
there are no others in Genesee county. One Saturday evening a rally was held in
Hibernian Hall and the meeting was open to everyone. It was addressed by the
following speakers: James R. SOVEREIGN of Chicago, the noted labor leader,
Michael MEEHAN of Carthage, Miss., John HENNESSEY and Matthew M. SMYTH of
Buffalo. Mr. SMYTH is a native of Le Roy and resided here until a few years ago.
Invitations had been sent out to guests from other towns in the county and many
responded. At the close of the meeting the members of the Le Roy wigwam and
their guests enjoyed a smoker.
On Saturday afternoon several young men from Oakfield came to Le
Roy to put up some posters for the Fourth and among the number was Martin J.
O'BRIEN, who met with quite a painful accident before leaving. He was riding on
his wheel up Lake street and on his right was a carriage. Just then he met a
farm wagon and the driver turned to the left, causing O'BRIEN to collide with
the vehicle. He was thrown from his wheel and sustained two deep cuts on the
forehead, besides being otherwise bruised. The cuts were dressed by Dr.
MacPHERSON and O'BRIEN went to the home of his brother, John O'BRIEN, in this
village.
Three thousand dollars of village bonds were paid on Friday,
together with the interest, amounting in all to $3,480.

BURNED IN A BARN
Terrible Fate Which Overcame a Brockport Child
Brockport, July 3 - Saturday afternoon at about 5 o'clock the fire
department was called to the residence of Fred MEINHARDT on North street, where
the flames had gained considerable headway on the barn, situated at the back of
his premises. Several of the children had been playing with fire works in the
barn, which resulted in the blaze. After the fire had been discovered and an
alarm sent in all the children were found safely outside with the exception of
Otto, the 5-year-old son of Mr. MEINHARDT, who, as the children state, had been
left in the building. Desperate efforts on the part of the firemen to rescue the
child were without avail and before they could reach the place where he was
found the body was burned to a crisp. The remains were taken to the undertaking
rooms of A. D. DAILEY and a coroner from Rochester notified, who, arrived here
yesterday morning and granted a certificate.
The employees of the Rochester Wheel Company played ball on the
fair grounds Saturday afternoon, the teams being composed of the married and

SHOCKED TO DEATH BY LIVE WIRE
Fireman Frank J. Klueh Died While Doing His Duty
Was Examining a Burning Fuse Box When He Touched a Wire
Fell to the Platform of the Fire Escape -- Death Was Instantanious
Fireman Frank J. KLUEH of Hose No. 12 was instantly killed about 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon by contact with a live wire. The accident happened
on Liberty street in the rear of the building on Water street occupied by the
Standard Electric Construction Company which backs upon the fire company's
quarters. KLUEH was 35 years old and leaves a wife and daughter. He lived with
his parents at No. 75 Seward street. He was a man of athletic build and rugged
constitution and a general favorite with his fellow firemen. He was acting
lieutenant at the time of his death.
KLUEH and some fellow firemen were sitting in front of the
company's quarters on North St. paul street when he said he smelled smoke and
ran to the rear of the building. He saw smoke coming apparently from a box on
the platform of the fire escape at the second floor. He clambered up and was
warned by Chief BOON that it was a switch box and told to come down. He turned
to obey and touched the railing of the platform. He dropped to the floor and
when his companions picked him up he was lifeless. Dr. S. J. ELSNER was
summoned, but all efforts at resuscitation were useless.
Coroner KLEINDIENST, who has charge of the case, will hold an
inquest as soon as the Prince inquest is concluded.

BAND MUSIC FOR THE PARKS
Commissioners Agitating the Question at the Present Time
Say Appropriation is Not Large Enough to Pay for Such Entertainment
Hope That Some Public Spirited Citizens Will Contribute
Enough Money for Occasional Concerts
The members of the Board of Park Commissioners are at the present
time discussing the question of music in the big parks for the summer season. In
all cities where, a park system is maintained the board finds that money is
provided for the purpose of band concerts. This money is in few instances,
however, given by the city, but by public-spirited citizens, who desire to
assist in furnishing amusement and recreation for the people.
The local board was given but $30,000 this year by the Common
Council, and it finds that none of this amount can be given up for music, and
properly maintain the parks during the season. The matter of using part of the
appropriation for occasional concerts has been extensively discussed by the
members, and it has been found that such action would result in a deficiency.
However, the board has not yet given up all hope of having some
music in the parks during the summer. It is hoped that some public-spirited
citizen or citizens will come forward before the season is too far advanced and
offer the small amount which would be necessary for the expense of weekly
concerts. The board is particularly desirous of furnishing music on holidays and
Saturdays, if possible.
In the city of Detroit last year $8,000 was contributed by the
business men of the city for the sole purpose of music in the various public
parks and squares. While no such amount would be needed in this city, the board
hopes that several hundred dollars will be forthcoming for the purpose. But the
board will not solicit funds, nor has it authorized any appeal, the matter
having simply been discussed among the members. If the board had had its full
appropriation of $40,000, the matter would have been settled summarily by
setting aside part of the money for this purpose. As it is nothing can be done
by the board of itself.
There is also another matter relative to the needs of the parks
which has of late occupied the attention of the members of the board. This is
the small number of animals in the zoological exhibit maintained by the board.
It has been the experience of the board in this city that money has
most always been demanded for animals to place in the parks, whereas in other
cities large numbers of choice and rare specimens have been furnished the
commissioners free of charge. The board is anxious to have more deer, several
bears, for which a pit would be constructed, and other large animals. But in
every instance where an attempt has been made to secure what is wanted
exorbitant prices have been demanded.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF AMELIA YAGGIE
Body Found Floating in the Canal at Meigs street
Doctors Who Made the Autopsy on the Body
Say That Death Was Not Caused by Drowning
No Marks of Violence on the Body
When the Young Woman Was Last Seen Alive
The body of Amelia YAGGIE, 23 years of age, whose home was at 206
Campbell street, was found floating in the canal at Meigs street bridge
yesterday morning at 5:30 o'clock. Coroner KLEINDIENST, who was notified, had
the body removed to the morgue, and ordered an autopsy, which was made by Dr.
WOLFFE, coroner's physician. There were no marks of violence on the body, but
the doctors who made the autopsy say that there was nothing to indicate that the
young woman had been drowned, so the cause of her death is mysterious. The
contents of the stomach will be analyzed for the purpose of determining whether
or not there is any indication of poison. Coroner KLEINDIENST has notified Chief
of Detectives HAYDEN of the circumstances in connection with the case and he has
detailed detectives to investigate. An inquest will not be held till Thursday or
Friday, as the coroner is very busy on a number of other cases.
About three weeks ago Amelia YAGGIE, who had worked as a servant
and also as a tailoress in this city, went to Newark to work as a servant for a
family in that town. The last time she was seen alive by her mother, Mary
BECHLEY, and her step-father, Charles BECHLEY, of 206 Campbell street, was when
she left home to go to Newark. She had written home, however, her mother
receiving a letter from her last Monday. She said nothing in the letter about
coming back home and spoke as though she was satisfied with her place in Newark.
It was learned by a Union reporter to-day that she came to the city last
Thursday. She went to the home of Jacob FICHTEMAIER, a butcher, living on
Seventh street, a small street, running from Emerson street north to the canal,
leaving there about noon. She had known the family for a long time and stated to
Mr. FITCHTEMAIER that she had been to her mother's home, but had found the house
locked and no one at home. She therefore went to the FECHTEMAIER house. She
remained there the greater part of the day, leaving shortly before 6 o'clock.
She seemed to be very cheerful and when she left the house she left her
umbrella, saying that she would call for it again. The supposition of Mrs.
FECHTEMAIER was that Amelia was going to her home on Campbell street, but as far
as has been learned she was not seen alive after she left the FECHTEMAIER house.
The body had the appearance of having been in the water over
forty-eight hours, so the natural supposition is, that the girl got into the
canal soon after she left the FECHTMAIER house and that it was carried by the
action of the water to Meigs street bridge, where it came to the surface
yesterday morning and was discovered. The body was first seen in the water at
5:30 o'clock by Carrie L. YEOMANS of West Webster and Nettie BARLOW of West
Henrietta, who were driving into the city in a milk wagon. Victor MICHAELS,
James E. BROWN and George ESTERHELD, who were subsequently notified, reported
the matter to the police and Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified. Morgue Attendant
DRAUDE was sent to the scene and took the body to the morgue.
The body was neatly clothed but there was nothing on it by which it
could be identified. In one of the pockets there was a small jewelry box
containing a watch chain and two cents. Coroner KLEINDIENST ordered an autopsy
at once and it was made by Coroner's Physician WOLLF, assisted by Drs. MOONEY,
STAPLETON and O. E. JONES. As stated no marks of violence were found on the
body, which was a perfectly healthy condition. The doctors subsequently stated
to the coroner that there was nothing to show that death was caused by drowning.
So the young woman's death is something of a mystery. Two false teeth were
missing from a plate in the upper jaw in which there had originally been three
teeth. No importance is attached to the fact that the teeth were missing
however.
The body was positively identified by the girl's mother and
stepfather this morning. They say that the young woman had a gold watch. The
watch was not found on the body but the fact that she had the chain in a box in
her pocket would indicate that she had left her watch in her trunk in the place
at Newark where she was at work. The mother and step-father both say that she
was a young woman of a cheerful disposition and that she had never to their
knowledge said or done anything that would indicate that she would commit
suicide. her reason for going to Newark was that she had been working at
tailoring and not liking it had quit to accept the place as a servant in Newark.
The mother of the young woman, who was at the morgue this morning seemed to be
much affected by her daughter's strange death. The young woman's father died
about seventeen years ago.

LAKE AND BAY
Usual Crowd at Ontario Beach and the Bay Resorts
The proximity of the Fourth with its countless ways of spending
money did not keep people from visiting the lake and bay resorts yesterday. The
exodus from the city began early in the morning and by afternoon the intense
heat had driven even the most cautious spenders of money to the waterside. It
was impossible for the average sightseer to stay at home yesterday and melt and
whatever their intentions were upon arising they found themselves at the lake or
bay before night.
At Ontario Beach there was an immense crowd and the respective
members of it found a cool breeze and plenty of entertainment. Inside the park
inclosure there was a wild west show, Liberatt's band, a vaudeville performance
in the auditorium and high wire and revolving ladder performances outside. The
vaudeville show was the most popular attention offered. The specialties were
first class and from early afternoon throughout the evening seats were at a
premium.
The acrobatic performance of the PANTZER brothers was the star
feature of the performance. Then there was singing by Baroness VON ZIEBER and
song and dance specialties by a number of artists. MITCHELL and LOVE cracked
some new jokes and altogether the vaudeville show was of a high order. It
promises to be a better attraction from a financial standpoint than the opera
which preceded it. Next week a new attraction will be opened for the season in
the shape of the crystal maze.
Next to Ontario Beach, Sea Breeze and Glen Haven had the crowds
yesterday. At Sea Breeze the beautiful grounds were filled with visitors and all
of the various attractions were well patronized. Newport, Point Pleasant and the
other bay resorts were also crowded and the steamers and cars carried full loads
at each trip. Many people visited the city parks yesterday and sought a cool
spot and a breath of wind. The parks are in their summer glory at the present
time and the sight will well repay anyone visiting them.

County Clerks Committee to Come Together To-Morrow Morning to Inspect Work
Almshouse, Special Bridge and Trustee Committees Will Also Hold Meetings
The next few days will be busy ones for the various committees of the Board of Supervisors, no less than four of those bodies having meetings scheduled for the next four days. All are making haste to prepare reports to be presented at the special session of the board, to be held soon, and from now until the time for calling this special session the members of the several committees will have their hands full.
To-morrow morning at 11 o'clock the county clerk's committee will come together and go down into the country clerk's office to inspect the work of re-copying a part of the records, which has been in progress for several months. Many of the records through age had become almost illegible, and as they are of no little value a request was sent to the board that extra help be provided to assist in recopying such records as were in danger of becoming totally obliterated.
In the afternoon the almshouse committee is to come together and try to arrive at some plan by which the report on the test of the water supplies on the several proffered sites for the almshouse and the poor farm may be prepared.
