MAN KILLED AT ROCK CUT BY A NEW YORK CENTRAL ENGINE

G. E. KELLY Struck While Driving Across Railroad Tracks in a Buggy.
His Neck Broken

G. E. KELLY, about 35 years of age, was thrown from his buggy by being struck by train No., 17, at Rock Cut, a short distance east of Brighton, at about 1:30 o'clock this morning, and his neck was broken. The buggy was demolished and the horse was killed. KELLY was alive when picked up. He was placed on the train and brought to this city, a telegraph message having been sent ahead for an ambulance.

When the ambulance surgeon examined the injured man in the New York Central depot he pronounced him dead. KELLY wore gray trousers, with a fine black stripe running lengthwise through the cloth. His shoes were evidently purchased yesterday, as they were not worn in the least. In his vest pocket was a gold watch, 17 jewels. The case was without inscription. In the pocket of the man's sack coat was found a paper bearing the name G. E. KELLY. Inside a ring he wore were the letters ..."M. G. to G. E. K."

Attached to his watch KELLY wore a locket on which was the monogram, "G. E. K." Inside was the picture of a young woman, probably not more than 28 years of age. The man had $50 in bills in his trousers pocket. His laundry was all marked "179 K."

Coroner KILLIP was called and had the body removed to Strauchen's undertaking rooms, North street. When the body was placed on the stretcher the stretcher broke. There was not a mark on the body other than what is known as a "brush burn," supposedly caused by the body scraping along the ground. He is thought to have weighed at least 250 pounds.

It is supposed that KELLY was driving across the tracks, possibly asleep, and did not hear the approach of the train. When the engine struck the buggy he is thought to have been thrown out on his head and his neck broken, as it is more than probable that if the engine had struck him he would have been marked.
The Coroner was unable to learn KELLY'S place of residence.

Sad Accident to an Italian Family

Parents Were Both Away From Home Working When The Children's
Clothing Caught Fire From The Stove - Older Child Escaped

Mount Morris, Nov. 1 - Two children of Rosalino and Angeline PREVATORE, Italians, who recently moved from Mount Morris to Linwood, were fatally burned in their home at Linwood yesterday afternoon. The father works on the D. L. & W. bridge at Mount Morris, while the mother is employed as a bean picker in the warehouse at Linwood.

In the absence of both parents from their home, the children, a boy and girl, aged 8 and 2 years, played with coals in the coal stove, in which a fire had been left burning. They had been cautioned repeatedly not to do so. At 2 o'clock the mother returned to the house to see if they had obeyed her admonition and then, as again at 3 o'clock, when another woman went to the house, everything was all right.

At 4 o'clock both children were found standing in a corner of the living room behind a door with their clothing afire. They were frightfully burned and both died during the afternoon. The stove door was found open, showing the origin of the fatality.

Coroner BOWEN visited the home during the afternoon. The PREVATORAS have one other child who is older.

SAD TRAGEDY NEAR HILTON

Woman Struck By Cars and Killed

Undoubtedly an Accident

Mrs. J. Parr Attempted to Cross the Track ahead of Approaching Train -
Besides Her Husband She Leaves Six Children, One an Infant

Hilton, Nov. 3 - A sad accident happened this morning at the railroad crossing about half a mile west of this village, near J. B. COLLAMER'S fruit farm. As the train which leaves Hilton for Rochester at 8 o'clock neared the crossing, Mrs. J. PARR started to cross the track. She did not succeed in doing so, however, and the engine struck her and threw her several feet east. The train was stopped as soon as possible and backed up, but when the engineer and others reached the spot where she was lying, life was found to be extinct.

Mrs. PARR lived with her husband and family in one of J. B. COLLAMER'S tenant houses, north of the railroad, and it is thought she was crossing the track to go to her niece, Mrs. RANOUSE, who lives on the south side of the track. She was seen to hurry toward the track and then to pause and then to again hurry as though she thought she could get across before the train reached her.

She was 39 years old and leaves her husband and six children, four of whom are at home, the youngest being under two years old. There are also two brothers and two or three sisters left.

The PARRS moved into their present home last summer from near Charlotte, Mr. PARR having sold a small farm which he owned there. Much sympathy is felt for the husband and children, who so suddenly have lost wife and mother.

Coroner KLEINDIENST made a thorough examination of the premises in the vicinity of the crossing, and talked with residents of that section. He afterwards announced that in his opinion Mrs. PARR'S death was purely accidental. He will probably hold an inquest on Monday, and proposes to thoroughly investigate the circumstances.

SENECA

Matter of Closing Butler Street Before Village Trustees.

Seneca Falls, Nov. 3 - The village trustees held a special meeting last evening. The closing of Butler street by Mr. KELSEY, which had been called to the attention of the board several times, was again brought up, and an amicable settlement reached. Mr. COONS, who claimed his property had been damaged by the unlawful closing of the street, and Mr. KELSEY were present in person.

The matter was explained by Mr. KELSEY, who stated, as a justification for his closing the street, that the public had damaged his property by trespassing, instead of using the street, and that he would willingly open the street provided owners opposite to his premises would deed and dedicate to the village sufficient land to make the street at that point of a uniform width, or sixty feet. The widening of Oak street, from the John H. WINTERS property eastward on lines to make that street of a uniform width, came up and was thoroughly discussed. No decision was reached, and the matter will be again brought up at a future meeting of the board.

BECAME A WIFE AT 15

Nellie Dorsey Now Seeks Legal Annulment of Her Marriage

Married when only a few months more than 15 years of age, after less than a year of wedded life Nellie DORSEY has brought suit against her husband, Nicholas DORSEY, for annulment of their marriage. The DORSEY'S lived together up to last June, when the child wife broke up housekeeping as the result of trouble between herself and her husband. The annulment is asked on the ground that the plaintiff was under the age of consent at the time of the marriage. Two ceremonies were performed, civil and religious.

The two were married April 1, 1903, in the town of Mumford by William ROBSON, a justice of the peace of that place. About a month later, on October 15th, another ceremony was performed, by Rev. Father ISLER, a priest, at Caledonia, this second wedding being the usual ceremony of the Catholic Church, of which both the husband and the wife are members. The DORSEYS lived together in Syracuse and in Rochester up to June 27th.

The allegations contained in the complaint are to the effect that at the time of the marriage the plaintiff was 15 years and 6 months old. Mrs. DORSEY sues through her father, Joseph MARIAN, who was appointed her guardian ad litem for that purpose on an order granted by Justice RICH last week.

A chapter of the domestic troubles, record of which does not appear in the papers, occurred last spring, when DORSEY was held in police court to go before the Grand Jury on a serious charge preferred by a 14-year-old Italian girl. This girl afterward married and it is said that before the Grand Jury last month she told an entirely different story from the one she told in police court. DORSEY was in jail four months awaiting the session of the Grand Jury, which failed to find an indictment against him.
