BARN BURNED.
Horse Released but Was So Badly Burned That Flesh Dropped Off.
Special Dispatch to Union and Advertiser.
         SENECA FALLS, June 13. — The fire department was called out last night to the barn of Norman BEACH in Garden street. The flames, which started from overheated hay in the loft, had gained such headway that nothing could be saved and building and contents were destroyed.
         A horse was the only thing taken from the building and was turned loose. It was found later about half a mile from the building, but so badly burned that great pieces of flesh had dropped from its body and it was at once shot.
         Mr. BEACH's loss will reach $400 with no insurance.

WESTCOTT BITTEN BY A MAD DOG
Dr. GOLER Will Send Him to Pasteur Institute.
Stray Cur With Rabies Said to Have Been Harbored by J.H. McQUAIN of Brooks Avenue.
Bit Several Dogs Before Attacking WESTCOTT and All Became Violent and Were Killed.
         William B. WESTCOTT of 51 Brooks avenue will be sent to Pasteur Institute in New York City by Health Officer GOLER to-night because it has been discovered that he was bitten on Tuesday of last week by a setter dog, which has since been killed and pronounced by a veterinary surgeon to have been suffering with rabies.
         The dog, it is alleged by Dr. GOLER, had been harbored for several weeks previous to attacking WESTCOTT by J.H. McQUAIN of 47 Brooks avenue, and had bitten at least three other dogs in the neighborhood, all of which became violent after being bitten and were killed by their owners. On Tuesday of last week, after the three dogs had been killed, the animal attacked WESTCOTT, who lives next door to McQUAIN, and bit him in the hand.
         Word was then sent to the health office, and, in the absence of Dr. GOLER from the city, Commissioner CULTER took the case in hand.

Frank ANSENBERG Injured Sunday Night on Lyell Avenue.
Unconscious in the Roadway Several Hours Before Being Discovered.
Died Yesterday Afternoon at St. Mary's Hospital — Coroner SIBLEY Investigating the Case.
         Coroner Wallace SIBLEY is to-day investigating the death of Frank ANSENBERG which occurred yesterday afternoon at St. Mary's Hospital, and was caused by falling from his wheel on Lyell avenue, near Otis station, Sunday night.
         ANSENBERG lived at Tony LAUER's hotel, corner of Vincent and St. Paul streets, where he was employed as a stableman. He borrowed a wheel at 11 o'clock Sunday evening and started for a ride towards Gates. When near Otis station, while on his way home, about 11 o'clock, the wheel struck a stone in the cinder path, and the rider was thrown over the handle bars, the fall rendering him unconscious.
         ANSENBERG lay in the roadway alongside of the cinder path, in an unconscious condition, until he was discovered at 2 o'clock Monday morning by some farmers who were driving to the city. Water was thrown on him and he recovered his senses in a short time. He was taken to LAUER's Hotel.
         The only ill effects which ANSENBERG felt as a result of his fall were pains in the stomach. Monday afternoon he went to the office of Dr. Hedley C.W. GRAHAM, 545 St. Paul street. He was advised by Dr. GRAHAM to go to his home and rest. ANSENBERG did this, and his condition remained the same until yesterday afternoon, when he had a hemorrhage.
Dr. GRAHAM was then summoned, and seeing that ANSENBERG's condition was serious had him removed to St. Mary's Hospital early yesterday afternoon.  His death occurred at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.
         Dr. GRAHAM informed Coroner SIBLEY of the case. After viewing the remains the coroner had the body removed to the morgue. An autopsy will be performed this afternoon by West Side Coroner's (didn't get rest of article.)

Position in the Line Changed by Marshal GRAHAM.
Was Intended to Have the City's Guest in Middle of Marching Column.
Col. GRAHAM Gives Reasons for Change — Column Will Move at 2 o'clock Sharp
         Chief Marshal James S. GRAHAM, in charge of the OTIS day parade, announced this morning that it had been decided to change the position in line assigned to Maj.-Gen OTIS, the honored guest of the city, from the center to the head of the column. The 140th Regiment, which was Maj.-Gen OTIS' regiment in the Civil war and will be his personal guard of honor Friday, will also be with the general at the head of the line.
         It was intended and decided a few days ago to have Maj.-Gen OTIS ride in the center of the column with his guard of honor. But it has occurred to Marshal GRAHAM that if Gen. OTIS rode in the center of the line that when the head of the column reached the reviewing stand on Plymouth avenue it would be necessary to go back and pick him up and cause a serious delay. For this reason it has been decided to have Maj.-Gen. OTIS at the head of the column. The marshal and staff will come first, of course, and directly following will be Maj.-Gen OTIS and the 140th Regiment.
         Marshal GRAHAM said this morning that the column would move promptly at 2 p.m. Friday, and that if the organizations were not in line they would be left behind. Because of the fact that Plymouth avenue narrows just south of Atkinson street, it has been decided to have the reviewing stand at the head of Atkinson instead of just south of there as at first proposed. The line of march has not been changed. The column, as stated yesterday, will go down State street to Brown, to enable more people to see the parade.

MARRIAGE BELLS RING MERRILY
St. Bridget's Filled With a Brilliant Assemblage Last Evening.
To Witness the Wedding of Miss Kathryn M. KELLY and Joseph T. CONNELL.
It Was a Pink and White Affair — Details of the Interesting Occasion.
         A very charming nuptial event occurred at St. Bridget's Church at half-past 6 o'clock last evening. The bride was Miss Kathryn M. KELLY, daughter of the late shoe manufacturer, and the groom was a former Rochesterian, Mr. Joseph T. CONNELL, now a business man of Buffalo.
         The church presented a gala appearance with its tasteful decorations of blossoms and palms. Huge bunches of pink and white peonies were fastened at the entrance of the pews in the middle aisle, which were occupied by the intimate friends of the bride and groom who attended the reception after the ceremony, and pink and white roses adorned the candle-lit altars and the prie-dieu on which the happy couple knelt to receive the clergyman's blessing after the solemn words were uttered that united them for life. Flowering plants and palms were disposed about the sanctuary, making an effective background for the picturesque wedding party.
         For an hour before that set for the marriage rites, while the ushers were seating the guests, Miss Agnes MADDEN gave a very delightful series of organ numbers, and as the wedding procession reached the church the beautiful notes of "Lohengrin's" wedding march burst forth to accompany their steps to the altar. The users led the procession.
There were Messrs. Arthur and Raymond KELLY, Horace W. JONES. Vincent P. MAHON and Arthur J. MAHON and Frank MOONEY of Buffalo. Following them were the bridesmaids, the Misses Corinne MAHON, Adelaide GALLERY, Clara CONNELL, Rosemarie McCAULEY and May FINUCANE, and Louise McGRATTY of Brooklyn, the maid of honor. Then came the tall, stately bride on the arm of her brother, Mr. Frank KELLY, looking very beautiful in her rich gown of white satin. The skirt was en train and the corsage, with half sleeves, was ornamented by a boiere of duchesse lace. She wore the conventional veil of tulle fastened by orange blossoms and carried a bouquet of lilies of the valley.
         The bridesmaids' gowns were exceedingly pretty, of white Swiss mull with garniture of cream colored lace and pink choux of chiffon, with long flowing ends. Pink ostrich tips were worn in their hair, and their flowers were pink sweet peas.  Miss McGRATTY's dress was of striped pink mousseline de soie and her bouquet was a bunch of white sweet peas.
         The bridesmaids formed a semi-circle within the sanctuary, while the bride with the groom, who was met at the ???? accompanied by his best man, Mr. William MOONEY of Buffalo, paused until the close of a fine rendition of Luzzi's Ave Marie by Mrs. William F. RAMPE. They then proceeded to the prie-dieu and the short ceremony was performed by Rev. Father HENDRICKS, assisted by Dr. HANNA of St. Bernard's Seminary and Father GOMMENGINGER.
         The wedding party left the church to the strains of Mendelssohn's wedding music and were driven to the KELLY residence on East avenue, where a dinner was served to about seventy-five guests. The spacious parlors were profusely decorated with flowers, and the dining room, where the bridal table was laid with sixteen covers, was a bower of pink and white blossoms. The centerpiece was of pink roses and maidenhair ferns. The remainder of the company was seated at small tables in the library and parlors. Dancing followed the dinner, DOSSENBACH's orchestra furnishing the music.
         Mr. and Mrs. CONNELL left at 10 o'clock for a wedding trip down the St. Lawrence. They will be a home at No. 44 St. James place, Buffalo, after September 1st.

VICTIM OF ASSAULT.
Feared That Engineer JOHNSON Will Lose His Mind — Assailants Under Arrest
        Edward A. JOHNSON, the Lehigh Valley engineer who was brutally assaulted at Rochester Junction last Thursday night by four men, is very ill and from the fact that at times his mind is a blank it is feared that the beating he was given by his assailants will cause him to lose his mind. The assailants of the engineer have been held for the grand jury. They are Peter MORRISON, Patrick O'BRIEN, Henry VERNEY and William BENZEL. They were arrested by Deputy Sheriffs ABBOTT and POLLOCK. Bail has been furnished in the sum of $300 each and they have been released.
         The assault on JOHNSON was brutal and unprovoked, the object of the assailants being robbery. As the engineer stepped from the cab he was pounced upon by four men. He was beaten over the head with a blunt instrument and his watch and chain and money were stolen. O'BRIEN was arrested soon after the assault was committed and the arrest of the others by the sheriff's deputies followed.

Charles COLLISTER, Charles YEARDON, Willie McDONALD and Timothy ELLIOTT are the youths who got away. YEARDON and McDONALD have since been captured and returned to the school.
