MRS. BURNS DEAD

An Autopsy Will Determine if Her Injuries Killed Her

Mrs. Elizabeth BURNS, of Fall River, Mass., who fell from a passenger train on the West Shore road near Akron on Saturday evening, receiving serious injuries, died yesterday morning at the City Hospital, where she was taken when the train reached this city on Saturday evening. She was on her way to her home from Moberly, Mo.

Superintendent of Police CLEARY received a dispatch last evening from the assistant marshal of Fall River, stating that the woman's husband, William BURNS, had left for this city, and would arrive here to-day. Mrs. BURNS was apparently about 50 years old.

Mrs. BURNS was unconscious from the time she was picked up beside the train until she died. The physicians at the hospital thought at first that her skull was fractured, but they found no evidence that such was the case. Just before she left her seat in the car and went out on the platform from which she fell she was seen by some of the passengers in the car to drink something from a small phial. This circumstance and the fact that she was unconscious until death though there is no evidence that her skull was fractured, has suggested the propriety of having an autopsy made to determine the cause of death. Coroner KLEINDIENST said last night that he had been notified of her death and would order an autopsy made to-day.

DARCY PLANT'S DEATH

A Seven-Year-Old Boy Killed While Playing in Foley's Lumber Yard.

Darcy PLANT, the seven-year-old son of George W. PLANT of No. 7 Edinburgh street was instantly killed in FOLEY'S lumber yard in Exchange street at about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Mr. PLANT, who is a foreman in the employ of the Stein Manufacturing Company, went to the lumber yard in the afternoon to get a load of lumber, and took the little boy along with him. While Mr. PLANT was getting the lumber on the wagon the boy was playing around the yard. The boy found a small truck that is used in drawing lumber about and he discovered that he could sit on it and push it along the ground with a stick. Near where the boy was playing with the truck was a load of lumber, one end of which was above the ground a couple of feet, supported by a prop with the other end on a yard truck. The boy pushed his truck in under the raised end of the lumber pile and the truck striking the prop knocked it down and the pile of lumber fell upon the boy.

He made no outcry and was undoubtedly instantly killed. His feet projected out from under the pile of lumber and were noticed by some of the men about the yard who removed the lumber and took the body out.

Coroner GRAHAM was notified and after ascertaining the particulars of the accident, granted a certificate of accidental death.

SUDDEN DEATH

R. L. Slosson, of Geneva, Found Dead in His Bed at the Powers

Saturday night a gentleman apparently about 40 years of age registered at the Powers hotel as "R. L. SLOSSON, Geneva, N. Y."

He was given a room on the fourth floor and was seen about the hotel several times on Sunday. The clerk says that he was conversing with him at 5 o'clock and that Mr. SLOSSON went upstairs in the elevator. That was the last time he was seen alive.

Yesterday morning the chambermaid tried to get into the room but could not, as the door was locked. As it is not unusual for guests who come in late to sleep until 11 or 12 o'clock, she thought no more of it.

At 7:30 o'clock last evening she again tried to open the door and found it locked as before. Her suspicions became aroused and she notified the clerk, who sent Nelson CORNELL, the porter, up to the room. The porter climbed into the room through the transom and lighting a match saw Mr. SLOSSON was in bed. On going over to him he attempted to waken him. Then he saw that the man was dead. The porter did not stop to make any further inquiries, but opened the door and got out in double quick time.

Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified, and upon his arrival ordered the body taken to Jeffrey's undertaking rooms. Mr. SLOSSON, when found, was lying on his back with his hands folded across his chest, and the theory is that he died of heart disease or apoplexy. There was nothing to suggest suicide and it is doubtful whether the coroner will order an autopsy. The coroner took possession of Mr. SLOSSON'S effects, which consisted of a gold watch and some $20 in money.

Mr. SLOSSON was a wealthy nurseryman and farmer, owning a large amount of property in the suburbs of Geneva.  GjS

The body of R. L. SLOSSON, of Geneva, who was found dead in his room at the Powers hotel last Monday evening, was taken to Geneva yesterday. An inquest was not deemed necessary by Coroner KLEINDIENST and a certificate of death from heart disease was granted. A brother of the deceased arrived in the city yesterday. He said that the disease was hereditary in the family and that Mr. SLOSSON had been troubled with it for many years. Mr. SLOSSON was a graduate of Hobart college, of the class of 1868. He was a member of the Sigma Phi fraternity. The following resident members of the graduate association of Sigma Phi were at the station when the remains were put on the train to be taken to Geneva; John H. ADAMS, Charles E. FITCH, James H.

Mr. and Mrs. FANEL, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, are guests of Dr. Harry OSTROM at Alton, between whom there is a small sort of romance. Four weeks ago, Mr. FLANEL a wealthy farmer near Cedar Rapids, Iowa, went to Little Falls, N. Y., to visit relatives, and while on the cars nearing his destination he met a lady going to Dolgeville, N. Y., in whom he became greatly interested. After three weeks courtship they were married at Dolgeville, Herkimer county. They are now on their return to their way at Alton to visit Dr. OSTROM, whose sister was Mr. FLANEL'S first wife. The bridegroom is 70 years of age, and the bride was fifty year old.

The steel pole that the Palmyra Republican club are to erect in October has been ordered of Titer & Conley, Allegheny, Pa., and will be finished in about three weeks. The pole will be a little over one hundred and fifty feet in height and will be made of the best American steel, and the base or first hundred feet will be in exact imitation of the famous Eiffel tower of Paris and the remainder will be a straight pole of hollow tubing. It will be placed on Main street, at the corner of Fayette street, and its foundation of stone and concrete will have to be about fifteen feet square. The contract for this part of the work will be let to-night but the work of excavating will probably begin this morning. The entire cost of the pole completed will be about one thousand dollars, which is now being raised by voluntary subscription. It is proposed to have the day of completion or "pole-raising" about the 10th of October and it will be made a gala day for Palmyra. The executive committee have been assured of the best speakers of national reputation possible to obtain and no less than two hundred marching clubs will be invited to take part in the demonstration.

A man Arrested for Trying to Dispose of a Team of Horses

Wednesday a suspicious looking individual drove into Corning with a team of horses composed of a bay and a dapple gray. He expressed his desire to sell the horses, and tried very hard to do so at the livery stable of J. E. BARBER. Mr. BARBER became suspicious of him and delayed the deal as long as possible. Later in the day notice was received from Mount Alton, Pa., saying a team of horses had been stolen from Palmer & Church, of that place. A good description of the team and man was also given and it tallied with the man who had the team in charge. The fellow was arrested and gave his name as James CONNORS. He claimed he did not steal the horses, as one of them belonged to him, and this firm had a lease upon the other. He owed a sum on the horse and could not pay it, so he drove away with the intention of selling them both. A reward of $150 is offered for the arrest and conviction of the thief, and just who is to receive the amount is a hard thing to settle, and a number of people in Corning claim it should be given them. CONNORS was given an examination and was held for further evidence.

Here are some incredible stories:

HORRIBLE CRIME IN JAPAN.   
A Man Cuts His Wife's Liver Out to Cure His Mother's Eye-sight.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13-- A Yokohama paper says a young man in Bungo Province, Japan slew his wife to secure her liver with which to cure his mother's failing eye-sight.  A quack told him to try chicken liver for his mother's blindness, and when this failed suggested he get a human liver, and declared the mother must eat it raw.

He determined to sacrifice his child and told his wife the baby must die.  She refused to permit the sacrifice but offered herself instead and helped him to strangle herself.  Then the husband cut out her liver but before he could use it the crime was discovered and he was arrested.

ALMOST INSTANTLY KILLED

John Roesser the Victim of a Runaway Accident This Morning.

In Trying to Stop a Frightened Team He Was Trodden Upon by One of the
Horses and Ran Over by a Heavy Brewery Wagon.

A odd runaway accident occurred this morning on North street, resulting in the death of John ROESSER, one of the employees of the Union Brewing Company.  The large brown team of wagon No. 1 was standing in front of the saloon, No. 531 North street, while the two men who have charge of the wagon were inside.  The horses made a start and were stopped by one of the men who ran out.  Soon they started  again and John, familiarly known as "Hahnnes" ran out and undertook to stop them.  He caught the off horse by the outside rein and was dragged to the front of the saloon, No. 617 North street, where he was trodden upon by the animal and compelled to release his hold , falling across the curb stone, where the brewery wagon ran over his abdomen.  The horses took the sidewalk in front of Schorer's grocery, and made a run up the street.

ROESSER was carried in the saloon, where he regained partial consciousness. He said he was badly hurt, wanted something that would give relief and asked to see a priest.  He sat up a moment with help, was soon laid upon his side upon the floor.  Upon being turned over upon his back to get relief from his great agony, he gasped and died a few minutes before 10 o'clock.  Dr. BARBER, who had been sent for immediately, arrived just as the man breathed his last.

The priest, Rev. F. C. OBERHOLTZER, who knew ROESSER well, arrived a few moments after his death, and volunteered to perform the office of breaking the sad news to the wife and family on Berlin street. It was learned that the deceased with the father of four or five children.

ROESSER had been in the employ of the Union Brewing Company only a few days, having formerly worked for the American Brewing Company. Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified and upon his arrival ordered the body removed to Mattle & Bertold's undertaking rooms, 92 North Clinton street.

A MEAT DEALER SWINDLED.  How a Young Man Worked a North Union Street Butcher.
C.E. McCALL, who conducts a meat market at 151 North Union street, was swindled out of several pounds of meat and a few pounds of lard yesterday by a well dressed young man who called at the market in the morning and ordered three and a half pounds of porterhouse steak, telling Mr. McCALL that the meat was for Mrs. Frank SCHULTZ of Alexander street, a customer at the market, and instructing the meat dealer to charge it up to Mrs. SCHULTZ.
The man was given the meat and he departed.  The charge was entered up against the Alexander street lady and nothing further was thought of the matter until along in the afternoon when the young man called again at the market.  This time the clerk was in charge of the store and the swindler, for such he afterwards proved to be, ordered four pounds of steak saying it was for Mrs. SCHULTZ and that she was so well pleased with what she purchased in the morning that she wished some more of the same kind.  He was given the meat and three pounds of lard, which he also called for, and after giving instructions to have them charged up to the same lady as was the morning’s purchase, he departed.  An investigation was soon afterwards made and the meat dealer discovered that he had been very cleverly swindled, as Mrs. SCHULTZ had never sent for the meat.  Several meat dealers and grocers in the vicinity are said to have been swindled in a similar manner by a young man who answers the description of the one who swindled Mr. McCALL.     KS
