DEATH ENDS LONG TRANCE
Woman Had Not Spoken in Months Since Baby Fell Out of Bed
Pittsburg, Jan. 16 - From a speechless trance in which she had lain for three months and a half, Mrs. Kate MENDELSOHN
passed on to death at a hospital here to-day. The physicians are puzzled by the case.
Her husband, on the night of September 30th, awoke to find the woman in a comatose state. Their baby lay on the
floor uninjured, apparently having fallen out of bed. MENDELSOHN does not know what took place before he awoke,
but he thinks that his wife must have been shocked into unconsciousness when the baby tumbled out of bed.
She must, he believes, have presumed that the child was killed.

FARMINGTON YOUTH SHOT IN HEAD DIES
Injuries to Frank Diemer Fatal
Canandaigua, Jan. 16 - Frank DIEMER, the youth of the town of Farmington who was recently injured severely by the
discharge of a gun, died at the Canandaigua Hospital of Physicians and Surgeons Friday as a result of his wounds.
The boy was hunting with a companion January 2d and in crossing some ice his companion slipped and the gun, which
was carried across the companion's elbow, was accidentally discharged, the load shooting off the back part of the
right side of DIEMER'S skull. A part of the boy's brains were blown away and, also, a considerable piece of his
skull. His cap was blown into the brain, and was removed at the hospital after the lad was brought here.
DIEMER'S companion, Lewis TRAUTMAN, of Penfield, called Dr. MASON as soon as possible and (unreadable) to the hospital
here, where a difficult operation was performed, and it was announced that there was no reason why the boy should
not survive, notwithstanding the fact that he had lost a part of his brain and skull. Complications set in, however,
and death ensued.
A peculiar feature of the affair is that the youth, who is only 16 years of age, did not lose consciousness from
the time the injury occurred until he was brought to the hospital and placed under the influence of the a- - esthetic
for the purpose of performing the operation.
After the death of the boy, the remains were removed to the Ahrens & Breen undertaking rooms and yesterday
taken to the home of the boy's parents, in Farmington. The boy is survived by his parents and several other relatives.

Almost Fatalities Near Keuka Park
Chimney Of House Choked
Fumes Make Three Occupants of the Hart Homestead Unconscious
and Mrs. Hart is in That State All Day - All Now Out of Danger
Penn Yan, Jan. 16 - News was received here to-night of the narrow escape from death by asphyxiation of three occupants

chimney and fell into it. Mrs. HART, her son Frederick and her sister Mrs. SCOTT all slept upstairs. During the
night Mrs. HART awoke feeling very sick. She arose from bed, but sank to the floor. She had enough consciousness
and strength, however to crawl to a window and raise it, and then sank unconscious.
Early in the morning a man employed by the HARTS came to the house and, seeing no stir, entered. He found all three
persons unconscious, and the attending physician gave it as his opinion that another half hour without aid would
have been fatal.
Mrs. HART is well along in years, and she was unconscious nearly all day. She and the other two are out of danger.

BODY OF ECCENTRIC PAVILION MAN FROZEN STIFF IN BARREN HOME
James Bicknell, Who Has Sudden Death, Had Nothing to Eat, so Far as Is Apparent
Pavilion, Jan. 16 - James BICKNELL was found dead in the kitchen of his home, on Lake street, Saturday afternoon
about 2 o'clock by Dr. S. C. SWEETING, who lives across the street. As none of the neighbors had seen Mr. BICKNELL
since Wednesday it was thought best to investigate. He was found lying on the floor by the stove, in which was
a fire at the time he fell over, as is shown by the fact that his leg just above the ankle, which rested on the
hearth, was slightly burned. The chair in which he had been sitting was tipped over. One shoe and rubber had been
removed, the others were on his foot.
Mr. BICKNELL was born in this vicinity about seventy-five years ago. He was twice married. The second wife, whom
he married about five years ago, returned to her home at Rock Glen not long after the marriage. He had lived alone
for many years. His income for support was meager, but neighbors and others about the village had been charitable,
and recently neighbors had urged him to go to the county house, where he could be properly cared for, but he refused
to do so. He would not wear any underclothing, saying it was too heavy to carry about and had not worn socks for
sixteen years.
When found the body was frozen stiff. Coroner SNOW was notified, and gave permission for an undertaker to be called
and the remains were removed to D. C. Higgins's undertaking rooms. There are no near relatives. Not the slightest
vestige of anything to eat could be found in the house. At Thanksgiving time four dinners were sent to him, and
in the fall ten men clubbed together and bought him a supply of wood.

SHORT CIRCUIT SETS MAN'S CLOTHES AFIRE
Employee of Lighting Company Dies in Hospital Few Hours
After Peculiar Accident in Elmwood Avenue Station.
Frank BROWN, 22 years old, of No. 71 Pearl street died yesterday morning at the Hahnemann Hospital of burns received
at transforming plant No. 33 of the Rochester Railway and Light Company, in Elmwood avenue. At first it was thought
that he had come in contact with a current of 11,000 volts of electricity, but an investigation made it appear
that BROWN brought about a short circuit and that the flash set fire to the clothing. His clothing was almost entirely
burned from his body, and the fact that the electrical apparatus is uninjured leads electricians to believe the
man's death was not caused directly by contact with the current. Coroner T. A. KILLIP will begin an inquest to-morrow
morning.
BROWN, was employed at the station as a night operator and was in charge of the plant. It was his duty to cut in
the switches, keep a record of the power, and look after the transformers. The plant is used for transforming 60,000
volts from the Niagara, Lockport and Ontario Power Company's cables to 11,000 volts for transmission to various
lines operated by the Rochester Railway and Light Company.
The accident occurred about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. BROWN was at work boring a hole over one of the transformers
and stood on a step ladder. It is not known just what happened, but it is thought that he fell and struck the cables
in such a manner that wires became short-circuited. At any rate there was a flash, and BROWN uttered a cry for
help.
Harry HOLCOMB, who was employed with BROWN, was temporarily blinded by the flash. He recovered and saw the man's
body wrapped in flames. Seizing a blanket HOLCOMB undertook to smother the flames. Unsuccessful, the young man
ran to a telephone and summoned aid from the Hahnemann Hospital. The ambulance responded, and BROWN was removed
to the hospital.
BROWN was unconscious when taken to the operating room. He was terribly burned, particularly about the face and
legs. Apparently he may had fallen upon the dynamo. It was the opinion of those who saw him, that he must have
come in contact with the electric current. BROWN regained consciousness in the morning, but not sufficiently to
tell of the accident. He lapsed into unconsciousness again, and died of shock seven hours after being admitted
to the hospital.
Superintendent T. H. YAWGER said yesterday afternoon.
"We made an investigation this morning, and it is apparent that the occurrence that led to the accident was
a short circuit. How this was brought about is not known; possible BROWN himself caused it. In all probability
the flash from the short circuit blinded BROWN momentarily and set fire to his clothing. BROWN was unable to help
himself, and his assistant tried to smother the fire with a blanket. This was an unfortunate move. BROWN'S working
clothes of cotton material burned rapidly, and the flames set fire to the blanket, with the result that BROWN received
mortal juries."

BURGLARS BREAK OUT AFTER BREAKING IN
Trapped, Two Thieves Still Manage to Escape
Two policemen early yesterday morning discovered that the meat market of BURNS Brothers at Brooks avenue and Genesee
street had been entered by burglars. A pane of glass broken from the window in the rear door showed that the thief
or thieves had inserted an arm and unlocked the door from the inside the key having been left in the door.
While one policeman watched the back door the other went in the home of Raymond BURNS, who boards in the vicinity
of the market, and notified him of the burglary. BURNS, who is a youth, hurried to the market. He says the policemen
would not go down into the cellar, leaving the work of searching the place to him. No one being found in the building,
the policemen told BURNS they had another job to look after and left.
BURNS found that a few pennies had been taken from the cash drawer and that nothing else had been disturbed. With
some boards the young man nailed up the broken window, and locking the door, from the outside, returned to his
home. Later in the day he went to the market and found that the boards had been broken from the window and the
door forced. Further investigation showed that two men had lain on the top of the ice box, probably while the policemen
and BURNS were at the market, after which they were forced to break their way out of the market after having broken
into it."
The young marketman declared that the joke is on the coppers.

Shortly after 10:30 o'clock last night a man who gave his name as Richard CAMPBELL and who was said to hail from
Ohio, entered the Fifth precinct station and said that he had badly wounded a laborer employed on barge canal work
in Gates.
According to CAMPBELL'S statement, he had been engaged in an altercation with the laborer, and when he became somewhat
worsted in the encounter, he drew a razor, which he used with disastrous effects.
Frightened at what he had done CAMPBELL came to the city and gave himself up, arriving at the police station blood-stained
and breathless.
He is about 35 years of age, unmarried, and is employed on barge canal construction work.
Later the police ascertained that the victim of the assault was one Joseph DOUD, and early this morning the man
was said to be in a critical condition, in the encounter he was badly slashed in various parts of the body, so
that the physician who attended him was obliged to take thirty-four stitches.

near the place where he was injured. He will be brought to one of the local hospitals to-day.

DIES SUDDENLY IN HOTEL
Workingman Ordered Glass of Beer, Then Falls to Floor
While on his way home, after having worked most of the day at the Judson governor works on Brown's race, Henry
RUNNE, 54 years old, of No. 3 Conkey avenue, was stricken with heart disease and died before a physician could
reach him. Coroner KLEINDIENST will cause an autopsy to be made to-day.
RUNNE went into the Hotel Senges at No. 460 St. Paul street shortly before 6 o'clock last evening. He called for
a glass of beer, but before the beverage was drawn the man sank to the floor. A hurry call was sent to the Homeopathic
Hospital, and the ambulance made a quick run to the hotel. When it arrived the man had been dead for some minutes.
No one in the hotel knew the man, and his remains were removed to the morgue. There they were identified.
