MAN KILLED
At 10:20 this morning a man named Jerome GASCORN, aged about 30, a fireman, jumped from engine 547, drawing an
east-bound freight train near Palmyra, and was killed by the fall. The reason he jumped was the crown- sheet of
the engine gave out, and it is supposed he imagined the boiler was about to burst, and so sought safety, but found
death. GASCORN was a married man. His family resides at Fairport. He was an old employee of the Central.

A LITTLE SURPRISING
Last evening when A. P. LITTLE, the jovial and popular court stenographer, arrived home he was surprised to find
his house occupied by a number of his gentlemen friends. They had responded in person to an invitation of Mrs.
LITTLE to meet in social remembrance of the seventh anniversary of their wedding day. It is almost unnecessary
to add that the evening's enjoyment was great and shared in by all present.
