REV. MICHAEL O'BRIEN.
Death in Ireland of a Former Pastor of St. Patrick's Church in This City.

Rev. Michael O'BRIEN, pastor of St. Patrick's Church of Lowell, Mass., who was pastor of St. Patrick's Church in this city from 1854 to 1867, died on Tuesday last in North Chelmsford, Ireland, where he had been visiting, aged 75 years.

Father O'BRIEN was born in Bellina, County Tipperary, Ireland, and completed his classical studies at Killaloe. He finished his education at All Hallows' College, Dublin, and came to America in 1848. After holding various pastorates in this county he came to this city in 1854 to take charge of St. Patrick's Church, succeeding Very Rev. Father William O'REILLY, who left for Hartford, Conn. Father O'BRIEN immediately erected a parochial school for boys and obtained as teachers seven Christian brothers from Montreal. St. Mary's Hospital was built by the Sisters of Charity during his pastorate, Sister HIERONYMO being its founder. During the War of the Rebellion many soldiers were cared for at this hospital. In 1859 Father O'BRIEN was appointed vicar general, which necessitated his removal to Buffalo. He was made the recipient of a handsome present and an address by pupils of the academy before leaving Rochester. Eighteen months later he returned to Rochester. A call came from Ireland for assistance and Father O'BRIEN called a meeting in St. Patrick's Church which was afterward adjourned to City Hall. The mayor presided and $7,000 were sent to the sufferers in Ireland. The opening of the Civil War interrupted plans which had been prepared for building a new granite church in St. Patrick's parish, Rochester. Father O'BRIEN gave evidence at once of his love for his adopted country. He addressed one of the regiments of Meagher's brigade on the camp ground near the city in the presence of 15,000 people. He preached the sermon in St. Bridget's Church over the remains of Gen. O'RONRKE, and in St. Patrick's Church over those of the gallant Capt. SULLIVAN and other soldiers. The war over, Father O'BRIEN prepared for building the new church, and through his energy $60,000 was raised before a stone was laid. Immediately after the death of Bishop TIMON consent was given to the repeated requests of Rev. Father John O'BRIEN that Father Michael O'BRIEN should be transferred to St. Patrick's Church, Lowell. As a token of their appreciation of his services members of St. Patrick's Church presented the retiring pastor with an address, accompanied by a valuable gold chalice, ciborium, and monstrance. The monstrance he returned to the cathedral at Rochester, and it has been used by Bishop McQUADE.

AGED WOMAN STRUCK BY TRAIN

Mrs. Mary ZONNEVILLE Fatally Injured at Brighton.
Struck by Passenger Train at Blossom Street Crossing of the Central.
Died of Shock Shortly After the Accident - Coroner SIBLEY Notified and Will Hold Inquest.
Mrs. Mary ZONNEVILLE of Brighton, 80 years of age, was fatally injured at ? o'clock this morning, by being struck by the Despatch train of the New York Central railroad at the Blossom street crossing of that line, which is in the town of Brighton. As a result of the shock the woman died at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Coroner Wallace SIBLEY was notified of the death. He went to Brighton and investigated the case. An inquest will be held Monday.

Mrs. ZONNEVILLE lived at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John DE MALLIE, of the part of Blossom street which is situated on the south side of the crossing. She left home about 7 o'clock this morning and walked down Blossom street safely crossing over the railroad tracks. She started to return home after walking a short distance. The woman reached the railroad crossing at 7:?? o'clock this morning. On the track near her stood a long freight train, which blocked the crossing.

After waiting ten minutes for the freight train to move on. Mrs. ZONNEVILLE became tired and started to walk around the west end of the freight. She had just passed by the caboose and stepped on the next track when she was struck by the engine attached to the Despatch passenger train. The aged woman was struck on the left side of the body and was hurled along the track for a distance of thirty feet. The engineer of the train saw the accident, and immediately reversed his lever and stopped train. The woman was picked up in an unconscious condition and carried to a lot adjacent to the tracks. A hurry call was then sent for the ambulance of the Homeopathic Hospital and Dr. William BROWN of Brighton was summoned.

After the arrival of the ambulance, which made a quick run to the scene, the woman was taken to the residence of her daughter, which is located a short distance from the place where the accident occurred. She was treated by Dr. BROWN. In spite of the efforts of the physician she died at 9:30 o'clock this morning. Her death was due to the shock which she received, which was greater on account of her old age. As the result of the accident several of the woman's ribs on the left side were fractured, as was also the left shoulder blade. Her back was also bruised.

Although Mrs. ZONNEVILLE was 80 years old she was very active for her age and was in the habit of taking short walks every morning. Her hearing and eyesight were both good. It is probable that she did not notice the train approaching from the east when the accident happened.

Small Sized Strike Worrying International Trolley Company Officials

Boss CALLIHAN, in charge of about forty men employed by the International Trolley Company, building a tunnel under the Rome, Watertown & Ogdenburg railroad at Burt, town of Newfane, telephoned up to the Lockport office that he had a serious strike on his hands yesterday He reported at noon that he had discharged two men for cause, and that fourteen others had quit work to express their sympathy. A half hour later he reported that he had taken the two men back and all had returned to work.

Springwater, Sept. 24 - While a party consisting of Addison WHITE, Franklin WHITE, Louis BARNHART and Will VAN SCOUTER, all of whom reside about four miles northwest of Springwater, were hunting coons Saturday night, young WHITE was accidentally shot and killed.

In an effort to dislodge a coon from a tree WHITE climbed the tree, but, being unable to shake him out, called for the gun. It was an old single-barrel, muzzle-loading army musket, and in pulling the gun up through the limbs it became discharged, the contents, a heavy charge of buckshot, striking him squarely in the chest a little below the right arm, and tearing a frightful hole completely through his body. His companions carried him to a nearby house, where death relieved his suffering about two hours afterwards.

JOHN G. BARKER'S WILL

Objections Made to the Admission of the Instrument To-Day

A petition for the probate of the will of John G. BARKER, who died on July 24th, was offered before Surrogate BENTON this morning and in answer objections to the admission of the instrument were filed in behalf of Richard F. MORGAN, as testimentary guardian of Blanche BARKER.

The will divides an estate consisting of $3,000 in personalty and $3,000 in realty between four heirs, and names Bertrand BARKER and David H. THOMAS as executors. The instrument was witnessed by Lillian May PIERSON and George M. PIERSON, daughter and son-in-law of the testator, and this furbishes grounds for one of the objections to the admission of the will.

The objections filed this morning allege that the paper offered as a will was not subscribed, published and attested as the testator's last will in conformity with the statute and that one of the alleged witnesses to the will is a legatee under the same. G. H. HUMPHREY appears for the contestant.

At this morning's hearing in the matter the two witnesses to the will testified and the matter was then adjourned until October 9th.

GEORGE, a Connecticut man owning 100 shares of stock in the People's Gas, Light and Coke Company, to-day further complicated the gas war here by filling a bill in the United States court asking for an injunction restraining the People's Gas Company from selling gas at 40 cents per 1,000 feet.

The injunction comes as an incident of the war on the North side of the city between the Ogden Gas Company and the Municipal Gas Company, the latter being, it is alleged, merely a "dummy" acting for the People's company. On the North Side the price of gas in contested territory has fallen from $1 to 40 cents per 1,000 feet, while in other portions of the city, where the People's company has a monopoly, the old price is maintained. Mr. George AVERS that the rate cutting endangers the dividends of the People's Gas Company, and demands that the former rate of $1 be maintained in all parts of the city.

DEATH DUE TO PHENACETINE

Niagara Falls, Sept. 25 - Mrs. Ida Elizabeth ROGERS, widow of the late John H. ROGERS, Jr., of Philadelphia, died Monday night as a result of an overdose of phenacetine, a drug which the deceased had been accustomed to take, it is said, to allay suffering from nervous headaches and general nervousness. The news of Mrs. ROGERS's death caused much sorrow in the circle in which she moved, and was known. She was a sister of Lieutenant Samuel J. MASON, at whose home she died. She was on the street as late as last Friday, her illness dating from that night. While she had been in poor health for some time, her condition was not considered serious. She was born in Niagara Falls thirty-eight years ago. Her husband died in February, 1899, in Philadelphia, since which time she made her home in this city. Besides her brother, she is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Charles DANIELS, of New York, and Mrs. Charles BACKUS, of New York.

INVESTIGATING A DEATH

New York, Sept. 25 - At the suggestion of District Attorney GARDINER and Chief of Detectives McCLUSKY, Coroner HART is investigating the death of William Marsh RICE, who died Sunday night at the Berkshire apartment house on Madison avenue. Mr. RICE was reputed to be worth $8,000,000, and he retired from active mercantile life twelve years ago, and is said to have large interests in Houston, Texas, and Milwaukee, Wis. After the funeral services had been held over the body this afternoon, the remains were taken charge of by the authorities and an autopsy performed by Deputy Coroner CONLIN. He was unable to determine the cause of death, because an undertaker had injected a large quantity of a strong solution of embalming fluid into the body.
