WILL OF MRS. FRENCH OFFERED FOR PROBATE

Former Resident of Holley Left $5,000 to Found Scholarship

Albion, June 20 - The will of the late Mrs. Mary E. FRENCH, who died in Holley, has been offered for probate at the surrogate's office in Albion, and is of interest to many outside of her family. It is said it is feared that the receipts from the property will not be as great as was anticipated when the will was made. One of the principal legacies is to Smith College, to found a scholarship in memory of her daughter, Clara, who was a graduate of the college. To this object $5,000 is left.
A note of $500 given to Mrs. FRENCH by the vestry of St. Paul's Church, Holley, she leaves to the church. The use of $1,000 and as much of the principal as she may need goes to her sister-in-law, Mrs. PERKINS, of Penn Yan, and at her death if any remains of the sum it is to go to St. Paul's Church. The sum of $200 is bequeathed to Mrs. Eliza ROOT, of Bryan, and $200 to a niece living in Michigan. The sum of $2,500 is left as a trust fund, the interest of which shall be used for the payment of the salary of the rector of St. Paul's Church. As the legacies will be paid in the order given in the will it is thought doubtful if the letter legacy will ever be received.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT NEWARK FACTORY

Young Boy Caught in Elevator Shaft - Limb Terribly Lacerated

Newark, June 21 - A serious elevator accident occurred at the factory of the Reed Manufacturing Company at 6 o'clock to-night, the victim being Ernest OLDS, son of E. A. OLDS, of No. 10 Maple avenue. The lad was operating the elevator, and in some unaccountable manner got caught between it and the wall at the top of the second floor opening as he was going up.
His left leg was drawn in and the elevator did not come to a stop until it was nearly to the third floor. Employees immediately went to work to extricate the unfortunate boy, but it was a full half an hour before the difficult task could be accomplished. On the other side was the 18-inch brick wall, while the elevator itself was of thick, hard timber protected with iron bands. These had to be taken off and large pieces sawed out of the elevator flooring before the boy could be relieved from his terrible position.
Meanwhile Manager T. W. MARTIN had telephoned for physicians and Dr. E. P. THATCHER and W. H. JESSUP were soon present to do everything possible. The left leg was terribly wrenched, broken and lacerated and it was deemed best to remove the lad to a hospital. He was accordingly taken to Rochester on the 7:46 train, accompanied by the local physician. Manager MARTIN telephoned Dr. MULLIGAN to meet the train with an ambulance and the boy was taken to the City Hospital. The shock to the system was very great and grave alarm is felt here to-night for the lad's recovery. Dr. E. P. THATCHER gave it as his opinion that the wounded member would have to be removed.

FOR FIFTEEN YEARS' SERVICE

Captain F. G. Smith Receives Gold Medal From State

Captain F. G. SMITH, of the First Separate Company, has received his gold and bronze medal from the state for fifteen years' service in the National Guard. The medal is composed of two parts, the bar, which is of gold, and the pendant, a bronze star. To the bar is attached a scarlet ribbon long enough to permit the medal to be suspended from the neck. This is the only fifteen-year medal owned by a member of the First Separate Company. Lieutenant CHAPIN and Sergeant LARSEN each own a ten-year medal.
The bars of the fifteen-year medal is of solid gold. It is in the form of a laurel wreath, across which is a band of gold on which are the words; "Fifteen Years." From the wreath, by means of two rings, is a pendant in the form of a conventionalized five-pointed star. Each point is in the form of a redoubt with three sallent and two reentrant angles. In one point are the crossed rifles of the infantry, in another the crossed sabers of the cavalry, in another the crossed cannons of the artillery, in the fourth the crossed cannon and anchor of the naval reserve and in the fifth the crossed flags and rocket of the signal corps. The space between the points is filled with rays pointing outward.
At the base of the points there is a circle, on which is the legend "Faithful Service." On the lower arc and between the two words of the legend are the initials "N. Y." Within the circle and forming the center of the pendent is the coat of arms of the state. Each of the medals is numbered and that but comparatively few of them have ever been issued is shown by the fact that the one Captain SMITH has earned is No. 931.

GENERAL'S GRANDSONS ENLIST

Torrence, of the Revolution, Great-Great-Grandfather of Recruits.

John P. REED, Grover C. TORRENCE and Harry S. TORRENCE, all of this city, were enlisted in the United States army at the recruiting station in this city yesterday.

AUBURN MAN BURNED

Explosion in Dye Works Set Fire to His Clothing

Auburn, June 22 - An explosion this afternoon in the cellar of Dennis's dye works in Maccabee Temple building in Water street, set fire to the building and seriously burned William E.

JONES made a sensational escape by jumping out of the cellar window into the Owasco river. This extinguished the fire in his clothing. Dr. GLASGOW was summoned and dressed the burns, which were quite severe. The fire was soon extinguished, but not until the whole building had been filled with smoke, doing considerable damage to the other tenants, and to the decorations in Maccabee Temple, which occupies the entire second and third floors.

KILLED BY A STONE WAGON

Ruth Van NESS of Barnard's Crossing. Aged Eight Years, Meets Fatal Accident.

Ruth Van NESS, aged 8 years, daughter of William Van NESS, a farmer living at Barnard's Crossing, in the town of Greece, met with a fatal accident early yesterday morning. The little girl was riding with her brother Harold, aged 20, on a stone wagon. Both were seated on a spring seat which tilted up, allowing them to fall on the pole of the wagon. The horses became frightened and ran, throwing both to the ground.
The wheels of the heavy wagon passed over the little girl's head, causing a fracture of the base of the skull. Medical aid was summoned but there was a profuse hemorrhage from the child's nose and ears and she died about five minutes after the accident occurred. Coroner KILLIP was called and granted a certificate of accidental death.
