George THEIM and Auton RAHN were to have exhibited

Men Drag Him to Shore and He Revives After Rescuers Have Worked Over Him
a Long Time
Nine-year-old Rocco FRARRAR, of No. 476 State street,
narrowly escaped death by drowning in the river near the dog pound,
yesterday afternoon. Before he was rescued Minor BISSIG, of No. 1 Falls
street, and Humane Agent John La FORCE had a long struggle with the
swift current of the river.
Young FRARRAR went in swimming in a pond back of the
Mosely & Motley mills at about 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
tail race from the mills plunges down the steep bank of the river and
then forms a pool about fifty feet long and twenty or thirty feet wide.
Then the water falls about eighteen feet and reaches the river through
an open sluiceway.
FRARRAR was caught in the swift current at the pond's
outlet and was carried over the falls and into the river. The river is
unusually high for this time of the year and at this point the race adds
to the swift current. FRARRAR lost consciousness when he was carried
over the falls, and but for the fact that BISSIG happened to see him
from the doorway of his home on Falls street, he would have been swept
down the river to death.
BISSIG, a strong swimmer, plunged into the river and
made his way toward the lad. He finally grasped the youngster, but
apparently could not regain the shore. La FORCE saw the predicament of
the pair and went to the rescue. All three were carried down the river
more than 700 feet from the point where the race enters the river. The
men were "all __" when, assisted by Policeman James DOYLE,
they drew the boy to the shore.
Young FRARRAR's body was blue and apparently
lifeless; and it was feared that the boy was dead. The men sent in a
hurry call for St. Mary's Hospital ambulance and while awaiting its
arrival rolled the body of the boy on a barrel. Then they tried to
resuscitate him by the approved methods of forcing respiration. When the
ambulance physician arrived the work was continued vigorously. Soon
signs of life were apparent, and in a half hour the boy was out of
danger.
The boy's parents had been notied<sic> of the
accident. Mrs. FRARRAR was frantic when she saw the boy on the ground
with the physicians working over him. She apparently lost her reason,
raving wildly.
The boy was taken to BISSIG's house and made
comfortable. Last evening after he had regained sufficient strength he
was taken to his home. His body was covered with bruises, received in
going over the falls and through the sluiceway.
La FORCE and BISSIG were highly complimented for the
rescue, which was accomplished at the risk of their lives.
Michael MOORE, a freight engineer, of No. 947 Main
street east, was instantly killed in the East Rochester yards of the New
York Central at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. He had just arrived from a
trip on his engine and walked across the maze of tracks at the
yardmaster's office at Goodman street.
MOORE stepped on an eastbound track and was struck by
a freight train that was being switched about the yards. He was horribly
mangled. He was dead when picked up. The Homeopathic Hospital ambulance
was summoned. Coroner KLEINDIENST was then summoned. He had the body
removed to Scheurman's undertaking rooms. The Coroner will hold an
inquest as soon as witnesses can be found.
William SKILLON, a tight-rope performer of Canastota,
was the second freight yards victim yesterday. He was killed shortly
before 10 o'clock last night. Coroner KLEINDIENST who took charge of the
case, had the body removed to Scheurman's undertaking rooms, Allen
street. An examination of the clothing gave the Coroner but slight clews
to the identity of the body.
There was a letter addressed "Dear Billie,"
a theater programme and a card of the South Park Hotel, Genesee street
and Brooks avenue. The Coroner telephoned there and learned that a young
man who had stopped there during the day said that he came from
Canastota and was a tight-rope performer. He said that he was going to
Sea Breeze to try to get an engagement.
The Coroner then telephoned to Canastota and learned
that a section foreman there had a son named William SKILLON, who is a
tight-rope performer. Thus was the identity of the railroad victim
established. The dead man's father will come here for the body.
How the young man was killed is a mystery.
Whether he was killed when crossing the tracks or by falling from a
train on which he was stealing a ride may never be known. The fact that
his body was found a few feet west of Main street bridge would satisfy
anyone acquainted with the locality and its history that SKILLON was
killed while crossing the tracks.
Many bodies have been found at this crossing, which
is not a regular crossing, but a short cut from Main street to a large
residence section north of the railroad. There is a labyrinth of tracks
with trains flying in either direction. Coroner KLEINDIENST will hold an
inquest.

Death of Jos. L. Rhoades,
Well Known Lockport Nature Lover and Artist
Lockport, June 28 - Joseph L.
RHOADES, the well known sportsman, nature lover and artist, died here
this afternoon after an illness which dated back to last February. He
was 72 years old and came here many years ago from Syracuse, where be
belonged to a well known family. He traveled extensively in Europe,
studying the principles and technique of drawing and painting, but he
decided that nature was the best teacher for both the painter and the
student. He supplemented his book knowledge with long trips afield and
to the forests.
Mr.
RHOADES never married. He had bachelor quarters for over forty years
on Main street, near the present Kenmore Hotel, and his studio was an
interesting place for lovers of art, and especially those who admired
the canvas reproduction of outdoors and outdoor life. He was a
skillful painter of fruit, flowers and wild animals and birds. He was
especially fond of painting fish. He never sold a painting in his
life, it is said, although his canvases were much sought after. He
gave them to friends and to charity.
Years ago, when there was no law limiting the killing of ducks he used
to go to the Northwest and stay several weeks. Unlike many hunters, he
would not waste the birds, but sold them to the markets and turned the
money over to the Lockport Home for the Friendless and Lockport
Hospital. He was away in the woods much of his time, and there were
few regions in the United States or Canada where he had not tramped
and camped. He has no near relatives.

ROSE-GARDEN CRAZE
Public and Private
Entertainments on New York's Sky-line
Some theatrical managers and
a few caterers of New York have grown wise in their generation, and
have followed the example of the man who built the first roof-garden
cafe in the metropolis eight years ago. As a result of his experiment
of treating New Yorkers to the sky-line, within the last few years
sky-line theaters and sky-line restaurants have sprung up here and
there, and their owners have grown rich with the money which tired,
heat-tortured mortals have gladly given in return for the cool breezes
and a dainty mid-air supper served on the top of a lofty building. A
number of private homes have followed the good example of making
gardens on the roof and of occasionally having their dinners served
there, and some of the coziest little retreats imaginable are to be
found overlooking Washington Square and along Madison avenue. Some of
the public schools have taken up the idea and last year opened
roof-gardens, where the little ones were privileged to enjoy the sun
and air without danger of being run over by automobiles or cars.
This year
many more roof retreats are in the course of construction, and before
many seasons have passed it will be unusual not to have a garden on
the top of the house. This sky-line feature of New York, which is
increasing to such an appreciable degree, is, according to the opinion
of a prominent financier who spent all last summer right here in town,
trending to one point, that of making New York city an ideal summer
resort.

Mr. Winnie is no Longer
Secretary of the Vance Boiler Works at Geneva
Geneva, June 28 - The Board
of Directors of the Vance Boiler Works has deposed Edwin M. WINNIE as
secretary of the company and declared the office vacant. The Board of
Directors consists of five members, the vote to depose being three to
two, Mr. WINNIE, and his attorney, W. S. MOORE, who is also a director
of the company, voting in the negative.
The
prosecution of Mr. WINNIE for alleged forgery, Mr. MOORE says, is
being done by J. P. VANCE, president, and B. BORGMAN, treasurer, as
individuals, and not in behalf of the company. Mr. MOORE criticises
this action and says the matter should have been referred to the Board
of Directors for action, which he says was not done.
Mr.
MOORE says that the Board of Directors were never advised of the
condition of affairs, but that Mr. VANCE and Mr. BORGMAN called the
meeting of stock-holders which appointed a committee to investigate
and report on the condition of the company. At the meeting of the
stock-holders and directors yesterday Mr. MOORE proposed that the
Board of Directors be appointed as a committee of the whole to act
with the other committee in making the investigations.
Mr.
MOORE said if they would do that he would agree to give his
professional services free to prosecute any officer or person whom
such investigation should show guilty, no matter who that person was.
This proposition was declined.
"The company," said Mr. MOORE, "is indebted to the
Geneva National Bank, directly and indirectly, to the amount of about
$22,000, of which $15,000 is represented by bonds. Suit has been
commenced by the bank against the company for the amount owing. Mr.
BORGMAN and Mr. VANCE wanted to defend the action on certain grounds
and wanted Mr. WINNIE to join in the defense with them, but I advised
him not to do so. I did this because I assisted in negotiating the
loans at the bank, doing so in good faith. The bank has kept faith and
the defense proposed I knew to be not well founded. Mr. WINNIE's
refusal to join in the defense has probably had considerable to do
with bringing the action against Mr. WINNIE."
Mr.
WINNIE will be arraigned to-morrow at 10 o'clock, and there is
considerable interest as to whether he will stand examination or waive
it and go before the Grand Jury.

FELL IN ELEVATOR SHAFT
William Wilcox the Victim of Peculiar Accident in Police Station
William WILCOX, a tinsmith, yesterday morning fell backward into the
Central police station elevator well from the ground floor. He
received a scalp wound four inches in length and was badly bruised and
shaken up. He was taken to the Homeopathic Hospital in an ambulance.
Chief CLEARY is investigating the accident.
Engineer James A. SMITH was in charge of the
elevator at the time of the accident. He had left it at the first
floor. He says he was not away from the elevator thirty seconds.
WILCOX was to do some work on the roof of the building. He and his
helper passed into the building at the same time SMITH returned, and
WILCOX, thinking the elevator was at the ground floor, pulled the door
open and stepped in backward. He fell to the bottom of the well. SMITH
saw the man fall and that was the first he knew that the elevator was
not where he had left it.
Captain ZIMMERMAN called Chief CLEARY's
attention to the fact that the operators working on the top floor were
in the habit of running the elevator when going to work. Chief CLEARY
learned that Operator KEARNS had run the car to the top floor. KEARNS
said that when he entered the building he rang the bell and that no
one came to operate the elevator, so he ran it up himself.
KEARNS expected that Operator SMITH, whom he
was to relieve, would run the elevator down to the first floor. A
number of calls came in just as SMITH was leaving and both men were
kept busy at the switchboard.

MADE FUSS OVER ARREST
Man Accused of Passing Worthless Check Brought from New York
Detective Edward O'BRIEN returned last night from New York with
Sigmund LEDENBERG, a traveling man from a Baltimore whisky house, who
is charged with having passed a worthless check for $100 on the clerk
at the Eggleston Hotel. LEDENBERG was arrested in a New York
clubhouse. He made a fuss when asked to accompany the Rochester
detective.
When Director HAYDEN determined who it was
that had passed the check on the hotel keeper, he traced him to
several cities until he finally located him in New York. Then
Detective O'BRIEN was put on the case, with the result that to-day
LEDENBERG is in the custody of the Rochester police.
The check is on the Corn Exchange Bank, of
New York. Detective MURPHY, of New York, made the arrest and turned
the prisoner over to the Rochester detective. LEDENBERG used every
effort to prevent O'BRIEN from bringing him to Rochester.
When LEDENBERG was led into the cell room,
after being searched, he exclaimed; "My God! Must I go in
there?" He appeared to be on the verge of collapse. He is
married.

TWO KILLED, ONE IS DYING
Train Runs Down Gang of
Railroad Employees
At Otis Station
Sharp Curve Rounded at High
Speed
Four Struck By Engine
One of Those Is Expected to
Recover -
Men Were Unloading Baggage
Car When Train Headed for Lake
Rounded Curve and Cut Them
Down - Coroner Investigate
Two men are dead, another
is not expected to live and a fourth is seriously injured, as the
result of a Charlotte train on the New York Central road running
into a gang of workmen at Otis station at 5:12 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Coroner KLEINDIENST has charge of the two bodies and will
hold an inquest as soon as possible. From all reports obtainable it
seems that blame for the accident must fall upon the crew of the
train that killed the men.
John TOOL, about 45 years old, of No. 48 Otis street, married and
the father of one child, was killed almost instantly.
Joseph OTZ, 46 years old, of No. 428 Ames street, GORMAN, single,
died at 7:30 o'clock at the Homeopathic Hospital.
John SPAHN, of No. 11 Craig street, 46 years old, married, is in the
Homeopathic Hospital. No hope is entertained for his recovery. It is
thought that his back is broken. He had not regained consciousness
at a late hour last night.
Patrick FLYNN, about 45 years old, of No. 669 Jay street, married,
is the fourth victim of the accident. He is in the Homeopathic
Hospital. His right leg was amputated half way to the knee. He is
suffering from shock and the effect of his injuries cannot be
determined in some ways, but he may recover.
HOW ACCIDENT HAPPENED
All of the men named were members of a gang of track hands under
Foreman John QUIRK, who is under George J. KINMMP, supervisor of
bridges for the New York Central. They were unloading material for
one of the shops at Otis station from the baggage car of a
city-bound Charlotte train that was standing on the west track. This
train had the right of the station, according to the rules of the
company.
The men had to cross the east track to get the material in the
baggage car. They were taking some timbers from the side door when
the lake-bound passenger train, Engineer Harlow C. GLEN, of No. 11
Walter street, and Conductor William JORDON, of No. 267 State
street, dashed around the curve on which the station is situated and
was upon the laborers before they had a chance to move.
The victims of the accident were placed in the baggage car of the
city-bound train, of which J. J. CLEARY, of No. 99 Meng place,
was conductor, and were taken to the New York Central station, where
the train was met by ambulances from the Homeopathic Hospital.
TOOL was dead when the station was reached. He had died in the
baggage car. OTZ, FLYNN and SPAHN were hurried to the Homeopathic
Hospital.
There was almost no space at all between the two trains. The
passenger train was running rapidly, it apparently not being the
intention to stop at the station. This was contrary to custom. None
of the men or crew of the city-bound train dreamed that a passenger
train would dash around the curve at such speed. If a whistle was
blown by the approaching train none of the workmen heard it
apparently.
SHARP CURVE ACCOUNTABLE
The engineer of the down train could not see the men until he was
almost upon them. The engineer of the lake-bound trains has to
depend upon the fireman who occupies the west or left-hand side of
the cab and can see the track ahead when the engineer can not. It is
customary for the engineer to ask the fireman, when near the Lyell
avenue crossing, if the track ahead is clear. The fireman gives a
signal with his hand if everything is all right.
Whether this code was used on the trip yesterday is not known, and
it remains for Coroner KLEINDIENST to inquire into. Until this
matter is settled and the orders of the engineer are known is will
be impossible to place blame on anyone. The accident from the viewpoint
of Engineer GLEN remains to be seen at the inquest.
Nearly all trains on the Charlotte branch meet at Otis station. That
is there is about three minutes difference between the departure of
one and the arrival of another. The city-bound train usually arrives
first and is away before the lake-bound train arrives. It is
customary for the down train to slow up and wait for the
incoming train to pull out.
Coroner KLEINDIENST will hold an inquest in the cases of TOOL and
OTZ as soon as he can subpoena the witnesses.

MRS. RENALDO DANFORTH
The funeral of Mrs. Renaldo DANFORTH will be held this afternoon at
her home in Alexander street.
She lived in peace with God and man, with husband and with children
dear,
She died without one single sin, or any God to fear.
There is no hell beyond the grave, and if there is one saint in
heaven - Why, Nellie will be saved.
No mother was ever more loved by her children on earth, or her
Father above.
There is a wonderful spirit of which few understood, that will
guide and protect her, in the bright spirit land.
Her husband's grief is only for a single day; time's space amounts
to naught. When we will journey on that way.
But dream not of the morrow's pain, we know in time 'twill come.
So let us not presume we know in this dark age of time.
We ever understood God's word in verse or prose or rhyme.
She threw her mental yoke away, to glide through space, a billion
miles in one short day.
No walls of stone, no mountain's base, no dark or dismal cave
can check this now electric spark or be delayed by ocean's waves.
Since death she has lived a thousand years, to us a single day;
therefore, I find the teachings are but idle dreams, Time thrown
away.
By her Brother.
