DEATH OF JOHN KELLY

One of Rochester's Most Worthy and Best Known Citizens.
   John KELLY, one of the most widely known shoe manufacturers of Rochester, died yesterday morning at 5:30 o'clock, at his home, No. 374 Each avenue. Mr. KELLY had been sick for a week with the second attack of appendicitis, and notwithstanding the constant care of his physicians, the case grew worse.
   The first attack of the malady took place last April, but the attending physicians then had hopes of the recovery of their patient. The second attack, however, proved unconquerable, and death resulted as stated.
   Mr. KELLY was born in Ireland and came to the United States when yet a boy. In Horseheads, near Elmira, Mr. KELLY learned the shoemaker's trade as it was taught in those days, and it was to this thorough schooling that the success that the deceased afterward attained was largely due. After working successfully at his trade in Horseheads for a time Mr. KELLY removed to Owego, where, in connection with John WALL, he established a retail shoe business. After remaining there for several years Mr. KELLY retired and went to Auburn, where he began the manufacture of shoes.
   The factory at this place was burned and then Mr. KELLY removed to Rochester and began business on Mill street. It was here that the business began to grow to great magnitude, and Mr. KELLY ultimately removed to the corner of Mill and Mumford streets. KELLY'S shoes are known to-day all over the United States.
   The deceased was a man of retiring nature, and his home was his castle. But although of a quiet nature, Mr. KELLY was a man of great worth, and although difficult to become acquainted with, he was a loyal friend. Twenty-six years ago Mr. KELLY married Miss Mary A. WELCH, of Palmyra, and she died in 1886. Four years later he married Miss Josephine DACY, of Syracuse, whom he leaves and also one daughter, Kathryn KELLY, and four sons, Frank X., J. Ray, Arthur and Harry KELLY. Frank is now in Denver, traveling in the interest of the business. One brother and two sisters of the deceased live in Palmyra.
   Mr. KELLY was an active member of St. Bridget's Church and of the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association. The funeral will be held Saturday morning at St. Bridget's Church at 9 o'clock.

SLAUGHTER OF NEGROES

A Bloody Battle In A South Carolina Town
Whites Also Killed
A Long and Growing List of Dead and Wounded
A Fight At The Polls
Ten or Twelve Negroes and Two White Men Dead and Others Mortally
Wounded - Posses Scouring the Country About Greenwood for More Victims
 
   Washington, Nov. 10 - A special to the Post from Greenwood, S. C., says:
   Five negroes lay dead at Rehobeth all day, along the roadside, another was killed to-day and likely four others are dead and lost in the woods. One white man was buried, three others lie at the point of death and more have been wounded. Four heads of families have left the country and armed troops of countrymen are scouring the country hunting other victims. All of this the outcome of an election row. Following is a list of the dead and wounded:
     Dead:
J. I. ETHERIDGE, white, killed at polls.
Thomas TOLBERT, white, mortally wounded at same time.
Wade Hampton McKINNEY
Jesse WILLIAMS
Drayton WATTS
Lem JACKSON, all colored, killed yesterday
Essex HARRISON and Ben COLLINS, colored, killed to-day.
Wounded:
Sidney TOLBERT, 15 years old, dangerously wounded: John R. TOLBERT, white, collector of the port at Charleston and chairman of the Republican state legislative committee, wounded: Stuart MILLER, white, mortally wounded in head; Crewell FLEMING, white, shot in shoulder; M. J. YOUNGER, shot in foot; Cleave ARMSTRONG, who tried to protect the negroes, shot in the neck.
   In addition to these, two and likely four negroes are supposed to be dead in the woods near where the five bodies lay to-day. The trouble was precipitated on election day when 200 or 300 negroes at the polls opened a fusillade against the store in which the voting was going on. In this fight ETHERIDGE was killed and TOLBERT wounded.
   The second occasion for provocation was that a party hunting the slayers of ETHERIDGE was fired into, one MILLER fatally wounded and FLEMING badly hurt.
   The incident of the day was the killing of Essex HARRISON. Down the road came a squad of mounted cavalrymen with HARRISON marching ahead, with guns and rifles drawn on him. Fifteen men lined up on the roadside. The negro was put out in the road and told to go toward the pile of four dead negroes. He started, there was a ring of rifles and HARRISON pitched forward dead. HARRISON, it is alleged, was a member of the crowd that killed ETHERIDGE.
   The whites are particularly incensed against all the TOLBERTS, and hold them responsible for the trouble. A party went to kill Tom TOLBERT, but someone prevailed on the hot-heads not to kill a wounded and dying man. John R. TOLBERT, collector of the port at Charleston, and Joe TOLBERT left the country. Ezra TOLBERT is quartered with friends. His son was shot, and this, with the plea that he is a non-partisan, and has nine children and a wife, has saved him from death. A committee waited on J. W. TOLBERT, assistant postmaster at McCORMICK'S, and ordered him to get out of that town. He left.
   The TOLBERTS are of good family, made fine Southern soldiers, and have been Republicans since the war. Eight negroes have been lynched within two weeks' time in neighboring counties.
   Ben COLLINS, colored was killed to-night near Phoenix. He said to have fired one pistol shot into the polling place and reached for another weapon.
   Charleston, S. C., Nov. 10 - A special to the News and Courier from Greenwood, S. C., says: News has just been received that the mob lynched another negro near Phoenix this afternoon at 5 o'clock. His name was Jeff DARLING and he was implicated in the election riot and the killing of ETHRIDGE.

ANOTHER SUICIDE ON CORNING'S LIST

A Dose of Poison Ended Frank Williams's Woes Yesterday
Found By His Wife
It is Believed That Despondency Over Wrong Doing and Family Troubles
Prompted the Rash Act.

   Frank A. WILLIAMS, aged about 45 years, of Corning, was found dead yesterday morning, as the result of swallowing the contents of a bottle of laudanum.
   WILLIAMS lately went from Dundee and secured work in the Fall Brook shops. Sunday he told his wife that he was going to Palmyra where he once lived, to bury his mother. She thought this strange as she remembered that he buried his mother at the time of their marriage about five years ago, and she feared that something was wrong with him. Wednesday night he told his wife that he would go up town to the Republican rally. About 10:30 o'clock he returned and went to his bedroom, where he slept alone. Yesterday morning the wife arose to get breakfast, and, going into his room, discovered her husband lying on the bed in a peculiar way. She stepped over to him and touched his hand, which was cold. Then she became alarmed and called in some neighbors, who immediately summoned a doctor. The physician declared that the man had been dead some hours. On a stand near the bed was an empty glass and a paper containing a powder. In the dead man's vest was found an empty laudanum bottle.
   Upon investigation it was found that WILLIAMS had gone to Terbell's pharmacy in the fifth ward, and wakened W. H. RUDY, telling him he had a sick horse and desired some laudanum. WILLIAMS purchased an ounce of the drug. Mrs. WILLIAMS is inclined to believe that her husband had a wife and family in Palmyra. Coroner GOFF ordered an autopsy performed yesterday by Dr. C. W. HOYT, Dr. BOTTEN and Dr. T. A. McNAMARA. Coroner GOFF will hold an inquest, after he is positive just what poison was used, although it is known by analysis now that laudanum was the drug. The case is a peculiar one, and has some mystery surrounding it.
   Many believe that WILLIAMS became despondent over the alleged fact of having two families and feared a revelation. There is no known reason why he should commit so rash an act, as he had steady employment and earned fairly good wages.

DANSVILLE SUICIDE

Death of John M. McNair, a Prominent Lawyer of Livingston County.
   Dansville, Nov. 12 - Citizens of Dansville were shocked this afternoon by the report that John M. McNAIR, of that place, had committed suicide. Mr. McNAIR resided a short distance out of town, and it was rumored that his body had been found in the Canaseraga creek near his home. Inquiry proved the report to be true. The body was discovered shortly after 3 o'clock, hardly five hours having elapsed since he had been greeted on the main street of this town by many acquaintances.
   At 9 o'clock this morning Mr. McNAIR came down town on business errands. At 11 o'clock he was seen passing through the fields at the rear of his residence, and at noon, when he failed to appear at dinner, a search was made for him in that direction with no results. Later his people became anxious and began a thorough investigation of the near-by woods and Canaseraga creek, only to be horrified by the discovery of his body in an eddy of the stream.
   Coroner PERINE was summoned and viewed the remains, which were afterward removed to the late residence of the deceased. It cannot be told how or why the deed was done. The body was clad in a business suit and overcoat, only the hat missing. In the pockets was a considerable sum of money together with law papers and letters, but with no possible clew as to whether the act was premedicated or an accident.
   John M. McNAIR was a prominent member of the Livingston county bar, well known in this and neighboring counties and Rochester, where he transacted considerable business. Some years ago he was married to a daughter of the late Isaac HAMPTON, of Ossian. His wife survives him. The deceased was an Odd Fellow and a member of the Dansville Tent of the K. O. T. M.

HOUSES BLOWN UP

Dynamite Freely Used - Religious Friends at Wilkesbarre.
   Wilkesbarre, Pa., Nov. 12 - There was a dastardly attempt last night to blow up two households with dynamite at Duryea, near here. Fortunately, no one was injured, but three buildings were badly damaged.
   The victims of the attempt are Adam DARTUSSKA, one of the wealthiest Poles in this region, and the Rev. Father ORIONSKI, pastor of the Holy Rectory Catholic Church.
   As the DARTUSSKA family was retiring, a heavy explosion occurred at the foundation of the building. It broke all the windows and shook down most of the plaster. While the crowd was looking at the wrecked house, another explosion was heard. This was at the house of Father ORIONSKI, and there the porch was torn to pieces and the front windows broken, while in the church adjoining three valuable memorial windows were destroyed. Religious troubles are said to be the cause.

CRUSHED TO DEATH IN A TRAGIC MANNER

John W. Wanamaker, Alias Rogers, Was Working in a Trench.
Stone Fell Upon Him
His Companion Was Injured - Not Much is Known of the Dead Man,
who Gave Different Names - Stayed at the Rescue Mission.

   Two weeks ago a man of middle age walked into the Rescue Mission and was among those who stood up during the meeting and asked for prayers. He said he was a stranger in the city and that his name was WANAMAKER. Last night his body lay at the public morgue. Not much is known of the man, and his identity will probably ever remain a mystery.
   The Rochester Gas & Electric Company was in need of extra labor for the construction of a deep trench in which is to be built a retaining wall for its large electric plant on the banks of the river just below the lower falls. Yesterday morning, WANAMAKER and William La MONTE applied for and secured work. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon both men were working in the trench, which had been excavated to a depth of forty feet, when a large stone became dislodged above and fell.
   The stone struck WANAMAKER on the chest and crushed him in a horrible manner. La MONTE'S left hand was crushed and he suffered intense pain. WANAMAKER was moaning, and La MONTE called for help, which was at once forthcoming. The men were with difficulty pulled up to the level by means of ropes, and then a hurry call was sent to the Homeopathic Hospital. WANAMAKER was taken to the hospital, but died after he had been there a few minutes. Coroner KLEINDIENST was notified and he took charge of the body.
   The stone that struck WANAMAKER weighed several hundred pounds, and it pinioned him to the bottom of the pit. He was severely crushed, and death was inevitable. La MONTE had his hand dressed by a physician living near the electric plant. He stayed at the Rescue Mission last night. He is also a stranger in the city. The Coroner will make an investigation of the case before deciding upon an autopsy.
   Who WANAMAKER was and where he came from is not known. All that is known is that he went to the Rescue Mission and obtained a lodging one night about two weeks ago. He then told Superintendent HINES that his name was WANAMAKER. A week later he went to the mission and then said his name was ROGERS. Thursday night he was again at the mission, and then said that WANAMAKER was his name. The dead man is about 40 years old, and looked as if he had done severe manual labor before coming to this city.

MRS. SUTTON WANTS A DIVORCE

Former Rochester Woman Alleges Cruel Treatment by Her Husband.
   Mrs. Charles E. SUTTON, nee Miss Amber M. SMITH, formerly of this city and now living in New York, made a motion through her attorneys before Justice DAVY in special term yesterday, for alimony and counsel fees, pending an action in separation which she intends to bring against her husband, who is also known in Rochester by reason of former residence here. The couple were married here in September, 1897, and removed to New York, where Mrs. SUTTON secured a position with a theatrical company.
   According to Mrs. SUTTON'S complaint, her marital troubles began in June last, when she wanted to pay a visit to her home in this city, which plan was objected to by her husband. She finally came to Rochester and later began an action for separation, placing her affairs in the hands of Attorney Leslie HULBERT. Two weeks ago, she says, her husband wrote for her to come to New York, where he had secured another position for her with a theatrical company. After her arrival, she alleges, SUTTON induced her to sign papers which she believes were prejudicial to her case, and that he had no intention of settling their troubles, having already instructed his lawyer to serve papers relative to a change of venue from Monroe to New York county.
   Some of the allegations made by Mrs. SUTTON against her husband are that he was very jealous and was cruel in his treatment of her. William MORAN, a New York lawyer, appeared for SUTTON yesterday and applied for a change of venue and requested that final argument be postponed for two weeks. Justice DAVY took the papers and gave Mr. MORAN a week in which to prepare the necessary affidavits, denying the motion for a change of venue, with $10 costs.

AWAKENED BY FIRE

Occupants of Strasenburgh Building on West Avenue Had an Exciting Time
   Mrs. Thomas J. CASHMAN, who was sitting up with her sick husband, smelled smoke in the Strasenburgh building, at No. 400 West avenue, about 3 o'clock yesterday morning. Going out into the hallway, Mrs. CASHMAN discovered that there was a fire in the building. She hastened to the room where slept the janitor and told him of her discovery. She ran back to her apartments, and, assisting her husband, escaped to the street with him.
   There were fourteen families in the building and all did not fare so well as Mrs. CASHMAN. Some of them fled from the building into the cold night air attired in only their night clothing. One aged woman fainted from fright and had to be carried from the building by her son.
   The janitor of the building had meanwhile notified Officer KLEISLEY, who was on his way to headquarters. The officer turned in an alarm from box No. 324, which was only a block away. The firemen located the flames in the rear part of the grocery of J. L. WENTWORTH, on the ground floor of the building. The flames had not obtained much headway and were quickly brought under control. The grocery stock was considerably damaged, while the building, which was erected only a year ago, suffered but little damage. The entire loss was about $1,000, fully covered by insurance.
   Though Mr. and Mrs. William W. TOWNER narrowly escaped suffocation, no fatalities attended the fire. However, one fireman was injured after the flames had been extinguished. As truck No. 3, from the Lyell avenue house, was turning around, Michael DALY, a ladderman, slipped while trying to jump on one of the side steps. He fell to the pavement with such force as to render him unconscious. The ambulance of St. Mary's Hospital made the shortest run of its history in response to a call sent in by Chief LITTLE.
   DALY was taken to the hospital, where he soon recovered consciousness. The surgeons were obliged to take several stitches in the scalp, where there was a severe wound. The head was also badly bruised and lacerated. DALY will be confined to the hospital several days, as his injuries, although not serious, are very painful. DALY is 40 years old, married and lives at No. 6 Murray street.

POISONED BY COAL GAS

Mrs. Mary Monroe, Found Unconscious Saturday, Died Yesterday
   When a milkman called at the home of Mrs. Mary MONROE, No. 421 Hudson avenue, Saturday, to deliver the daily supply of milk, he received no response to his raps. He thought this strange and concluded to go around to the house later in the morning. About 10 o'clock he called and again received no response. He went around to a rear door, where he detected a peculiar odor. His suspicions were quickly aroused, and summoning the assistance of a neighbor, he forced open the rear door.
   They found the house completely filled with coal gas. Throwing open the windows and doors they allowed the air to circulate freely through the house. Then going to the bedroom occupied by Mrs. MONROE, they found her lying on the bed. She was unconscious but life was not yet extinct, and Dr. F. B. SEITZ, of No. 228 Hudson avenue, was hastily summoned. The doctor at once realized the serious nature of the case and he tried every known method to bring the woman out of her comatose state. She, however, could not be aroused.
   Dr. Thomas D. SPENCER, of No. 24 South Union street, her family physician, was then summoned, but he, too, failed to bring Mrs. MONROE to consciousness. Mrs. MONROE died about 10 o'clock yesterday morning without having recovered her senses. Coroner M. E. GRAHAM was notified, and after investigating the case, he granted a certificate of death from coal gas poisoning.
   Mrs. MONROE was 88 years old, and for many years had lived alone. She had an independent income which was sufficient to provide the necessary comforts of life. She had no immediate relatives living in the city, her husband and son having died many years ago. It is said that a younger brother lives in a Western state. Mrs. MONROE was related by marriage to a family named WILSON living in the northeastern part of the city.

ANOTHER SICK SOLDIER

Charles S. Angle Brought Home Early Yesterday Morning.
   Abram ANGLE, of this city, went to Pottsville, Pa., Thursday, and yesterday morning returned to the city on the Lehigh Valley train, arriving here at 6:40 o'clock. He brought back with him his son, Charles S. ANGLE, a member of Company C, Two Hundred and Second Regiment, New York Volunteers. Unable to enlist in one of the Rochester companies, young ANGLE showed his patriotism by going to Buffalo and joining the regiment of which Captain Theodore S. PULVER's company is a part.
   Shortly after the Two Hundred and Second Regiment was quartered at Camp Meade, Pa., Private ANGLE was seized with a light attack of malaria. His fever increased and finally developed into typhoid. When he became convalescent, his family was notified, and Mr. ANGLE at once made arrangements to bring his boy home.
   When the train arrived here yesterday morning, the ambulance of the City Hospital was in waiting at the depot. When he left Rochester he weighed 132 pounds, but when he returned yesterday morning he was much emaciated and was but a mere skeleton scarcely weighing ninety pounds. Young ANGLE has a muscular contraction of the left leg just above the knee, which pains him considerably. He is unable to straighten out the limb.

YOUNG WOMAN'S TRAGIC SUICIDE

Threw Herself Over Central Avenue River Bridge
Deed Was Witnessed
Frank White, of No. 60 Thomas Street, Was Only Thirty Feet Away -
Coroner Kleindienst Will Make an Investigation To-Day

   About 11 o'clock last night a man of middle age and apparently very much affrighted ran up to several hackmen standing in front of the Central-Hudson depot on Central avenue, and told them that he had just seen a young woman throw herself over the Central avenue river bridge. The hackmen at first laughed at the man's story, but he told them what he knew about the matter in such a straightforward manner that they finally concluded that he was telling the truth. This conclusion was also reached by Officer Amon H. McGUIRE, who was informed of the alleged suicide by the hackmen.
   The officer question the man sharply and gleaned what he knew about the woman's strange act. He said that his name was Frank WHITE, and that he lived at No. 60 Thomas street. This was later verified by a Democrat and Chronicle reporter, who went to WHITE'S home and interviewed him there. WHITE is employed by B. Levi Sons, rag merchants at No. 111 St. Joseph street.
   The man said that he was on his way home when he saw the woman make her fatal leap. He had reached the middle of the Central avenue bridge, having come from the western extremity. He was at the third arch from the east end of the bridge when a woman suddenly darted out of the shadow and running to the railing of the bridge, half drew and threw herself over the guard, which is about three feet high.
   WHITE was so horrified by what he saw that he was temporarily stunned. When he recovered his senses he ran to the place from whence the woman had disappeared and looked down upon the rushing waters of the Genesee. There is quite a fall in the river just below the bridge, and above it there is a very strong current. If the man's story is true, and those who have talked with him, believe that it is, the woman was swept out of sight in a few seconds.
   Unlike suicides of this nature nothing was left behind to identify the poor unfortunate, though diligent search was made on the bridge, with the possibility that the woman might have left a note or some article of her apparel. The water in the river is very high, and the woman would have been carried a long distance and this rendered searching for the body impracticable.
   When Officer McGUIRE had become convinced that there must be some truth in WHITE'S statements, he notified Night Captain BAIRD at police headquarters. The captain in turn communicated with Coroner Henry KLEINDIENST, who said that owing to the condition of the river, he deemed it best to postpone search for the body until he could be aided by the light of day.
   The coroner said last night, when a reporter talked with him over the phone, that he would investigate the case thoroughly to-day. WHITE saw the woman for only a brief moment - only while she was preparing for the leap into the mad waters twenty feet below. He was at least thirty feet away from her at the time. He did not catch a good glimpse of her features, but he did note that her eyes were very large, as if dilated with excitement. She was of slight build, and WHITE did not believe she could be more than 25 years old. The man paid no particular attention to her attire, but he was of the opinion that she was fairly well dressed.
   It is quite probable that the suicide will remain a mystery for days and possibly weeks to come. There is no telling where the body may rise to the surface, if it does at all, and it may be that it will be carried out into the lake before it can be recovered. Then again, owing to the strength of the river current the body may be dashed to pieces against the jagged rocks in the river bed.
   The police had up to an early hour this morning received no report of a woman being missing. The theory most generally entertained by those informed of the circumstances last night, was that the woman had either been led into an unhappy marriage or that she was more unfortunate, and by drowning attempted to end forever her sorrows and troubles.
