$10,000 FIRE AT SENECA FALLS

Plant of the Wescott Jewel Company Damaged

Firemen Suffered From Cold

The Thermometer Was Below Zero.
A Mistake Was Made in Turning in Alarm and This Gave the Fire
an Added Start - Origin Unknown.

Seneca Falls, Feb. 4 - The center building of the plant of the Westcott Jewell Company, in Bayard and Spring streets, with its contents, was almost totally destroyed by a fire which started at about 4 o'clock this morning. The damage is estimated at $10,000. This is mostly in ruler stock of expensive imported boxwood.

The fire started between the engine room and the drying kilns and its exact origin is unknown. It quickly spread to the roof of the engine room and to the lumber in the drying kilns. James STILWELL, the night watchman, telephone in the alarm, but it was badly mixed and the first sounds of the bell gave no box numbers. It was several minutes, during which the fire gathered great headway, before box 421 was pulled and the alarm was properly sounded. The thermometer was below zero and the firemen suffered more than at any fire in recent years.

It took nearly three hours to get the fire under control, because the buildings were all of wood and the lumber in the kilns was dry. Before it was put out much of the lumber had been burned and a great amount partly damaged. The stock room suffered great loss. It was filled with crates of boxwood cut in lengths for the rulers and yardsticks made by the company. This kind of wood is at present very valuable. The engine room roof was damaged, but the fire was confined to the center building drying kilns and a small part of the east building.

Maynard KUNEY, foreman of Silsby Hose Company No. 2, was injured by falling from the top of a ladder where he was holding a hose. In some way, the other hosemen lost control of the line, which was under pressure. The hose in falling carried Mr. KUNEY with it to the ground. He luckily escaped with only a sprained ankle. (didn't get the rest)

FOSTER'S BODY NOT YET FOUND

Young Man Was Drowned In Keuka Lake

Skating, Broke Through Ice

Accident Occurred on the West Branch, About a Mile From Branchport-
Went Out on the ice Alone. Man Came From Rushville, Pa.

Penn Yan, Feb. 5 - A fatal drowning accident occurred about 5:30 o'clock last evening in Lake Keuka, the victim being Charles FOSTER, a young man of about 22 years of age.

With some other young men FOSTER was skating on the lake in the west branch, about midway between Branchport and the BACKUS farm, which is about a mile from that village. The skaters all returned to the shore after a few hours of enjoyment, including FOSTER. The latter was not yet satisfied, however, and again went out on the ice, this time on a portion of the lake not yet skated upon, the ice there having been considered as too thin.

By the time FOSTER reached the spot where he broke through the ice his companions had left for home and did not witness the accident. Mrs. Frank GUERNSEY, from her home at Branchport, saw FOSTER skate rapidly to about the middle of the branch and as she watched she saw him suddenly throw up his hands and disappear, for an instant. He did not go down when he first broke through, for immediately Mrs. GUERNSEY saw him struggling in the water and broken ice. She ran to a neighbor's for assistance, but when the spot where he had disappeared was reached by the searchers nothing was to be seen but FOSTER'S mittens.

The unfortunate young man came to that section from Rushville, Pa., last summer. For the past five or six weeks he had been working for James VINO on the latter's farm, two miles south of Branchport, and previous to that time worked as a farm hand for ex-Sheriff Elias PULVER.

Several parties of men set to work breaking the ice on the lake and dragging for the body, but it was not found. Where he went down the water is about 200 feet deep.

FOSTER was an orphan, and nothing has been learned so far concerning other relatives, although it is reported that he has a sister in Rushville, Pa.

MISS CAROLINE LOUISE ROCHESTER

On Thursday, February 14th, the city of Rochester was called upon to mourn the loss of one of its most estimable citizens, a granddaughter of Colonel Nathaniel ROCHESTER, who founded this city, and for whom it was named.

Through the sadness that fills our many hearts because of her death, there will ever come the sweet memory of her strength and gentleness. Born of a noble family, she played a noble part in life. :Through calm and through storm she passed with unswerving faith and unchanging course toward the haven of peace prepared for faithful souls."

The following resolution has been adopted by the Board of Managers of the Church Home of Rochester.

Whereas, In the death of Miss Caroline L. ROCHESTER, which occurred at the home of her brother, the late John H. ROCHESTER, on Thursday, February 14th, the Church Home has lost one to whose constant and untiring devotion for thirty-eight years much of the successful accomplishment of the purpose for which this institution was founded, is due, therefore.

Resolved, That we place upon our minutes a record of our appreciation of the work which she has done for the Church Home, and the enviable example which she has left to all who follow her in this work. She was a charter member of this board. She was for twenty-three years its treasurer. She was a member of the Executive Committee until the time of her death, and until within the past few weeks, when failing health compelled her to remain indoors, she never failed to attend its meetings. There are few ties other than those of the family which bind people together any stronger than those of companionship in church and charitable work.
Her hand was ever ready to aid, and her heart to cheer, those who were engaged in the mission of love. During her last days she remarked to a friend that the Church Home was nearest her heart. So staunch and true was she that we are comforted — even while we mourn the end of a noble woman's earthly existence.

Declaring that the real name of Isaac R. SCRANTON, who died at Spencerport almost two years ago, was Fennimore, Mrs. A. R. WILSON, of Kirkville, Miss., who claims to be a sister of the decedent, told an unusual story yesterday when she sought to prove her relationship to order: to obtain the estate of the decedent.

Mrs. WILSON said her brother left their home in England many years ago after accidentally killing a young friend in a wrestling match. He wrote home and asked his sister to address him by the name of SCRANTON, as he had been seen and recognized by a friend from his native town. This she did, afterward coming to America from England to search for her brother, but never finding him.

SCRANTON is said to have been a very eccentric man (??????) by the knowledge that his sweetheart became insane when she learned he had killed his friend.

TELLS HER STORY TO CAPTAIN

Special Policeman William SCANLON called Captain ZIMMERMAN. He thought the woman was suffering from hysteria, and led her into his private office.

"I set the house on fire, and I've come here to give myself up," declared the woman. "I want to be arrested."
"Tell me what you did," said the captain, softly.
"I had trouble with Dr. HERT. We quarreled. I got some rags and put them in the attic. Then I got some kerosene oil and poured it on the rags; I lighted a match and touched the rags.
The blaze started and I got out."

The captain asked the woman if she had ever been in a sanitarium.
"Oh, you needn't try to make me out crazy," said Miss MAGAR. "I'm not insane. I just wanted to get even with the doctor."
Miss MAGAR was taken to the matron's department and locked up, charged with arson in the second degree. She is 28 years old, and came to Rochester from Syracuse when 6 years old. She has been in Sr. HERT's employ about three years. A year ago she was arrested for throwing water on a child of Emmett CRAIG, who lives next door to Dr. HERT.

Corning, Feb. 20 - Alanson WHEDON, formerly of Seneca, died at 12 o'clock Saturday night last, at Corning where he and his wife have lately made their home with their daughter in the 83d year of his age.

Alanson was a son of Calvin WHEDON and his wife Polly GRAY, and was born one mile east of Hall's Corners, on what was long known as the Whedon homestead, where his grandfather, Selah WHEDON, with his wife, Mary DAVIS, and their young son, Calvin - father of Alanson - settled in 1801, Selah WHEDON become prominent in the community and he was appointed captain in the militia by Governor Daniel D. TOMPKINS in 1808, and during the incumbency of Governor De Witt CLINTON that distinguished officer conferred on him a major's commission.

Calvin WHEDON was also identified with the militia as brigade inspector, and with the old town of Seneca as commissioner of highways. He died at a comparatively early age, his father, "The Major," surviving him 28 years.

He also, like his father served the town of Seneca as commissioner of highways when Geneva as yet was part of that town.

He leaves to mourn him a devoted wife, a dutiful daughter, Mrs. Robert SWALLOW, both now of Corning, and an affectionate and loyal older brother, Henry WHEDON of Rochester.

The remains were taken to the residence of his niece, Mrs. Thomas E. RIPPEY, at Geneva, where a brief prayer was made yesterday by Rev. W. W.

Waivers Signed by Heirs of Henry Bartholomay

An application before Surrogate BROWN yesterday for the probate of the will of Henry BARTHOLOMAY, who died in Germany, September 4th, in which waivers signed by all who have claims on the estate were presented, seem to indicate that there will be no contest over the will.

Surrogate BROWN adjourned the matter yesterday owing to the absence of some of the witnesses.

The will of Albert Edward BICKNELL, who died February 9th, was offered for probate. The widow, Charlotte Augusta BICKNELL, is the executor. Three minor children will share the estate, valued at $8,000.

PROSECUTION'S CASE OUTLINED

Trial of Fred Schultz on Murder Charge Under Way

Question Of Identity

No Lack of Witnesses, Says District-Attorney

Murdered Man's Revolver

In His Opening Address Prosecutor Says Gun Was Found Under a Pillow in Room in Which Defendant Was Arrested - Maps Introduced in Evidence - Engineer Testifies

With the twelfth juror selected, soon after court opened in the morning, the trial of Fred SCHULTZ, accused of the murder of Night Watchman PULLMAN, in Sodus, on March 22, 1906, was got well under way yesterday. First came the opening address of the prosecutor, District-Attorney Joseph GILBERT, of Wayne county; and next the submission of many maps. One of the interesting assertions by Mr. GILBERT was that PULLMAN's revolver was found under a pillow on a bed in the room in which SCHULTZ was arrested in Rochester.

The jury is made up as follows:
Charles ROLFE, eighteenth ward
John A. ROBERTSON, Jr., Henrietta
Rev. Dr. C. A. BARBOUR, Ninth ward
George T. MINWELL, Riga
William R. AUSTIN, Mendon
John D. WALZER, stewart, Irondequoit
Robert S. DENISE, fruit grower, Greece
Jesse E. CROOK, farmer, of Greece
Henry A. BOWMAN, Webster
Frank J. MOORE, foreman, Irondequoit
Joseph F. REDDING, freight agent, Third ward
Jerome C. COMBS, farmer, of Greece
After the jury was completed and the remaining members of the panel excused, spectators were allowed to have seats in the court room. Many of these were Wayne county residents. Not even the fact of being familiar with names of places and buildings indicated on the numerous maps made the routine testimony of the civil engineer sufficiently interesting to hold their attention in the afternoon and before court adjourned, at 5:10, the room was practically empty.

As he appears to-day SCHULTZ hears no resemblance to the pictures that have appeared in print. He has dark brown hair worn rather long, a dark mustache and brown eyes, and as the defendant in a murder trial is distinctly disappointing.

FOLLOWING PATIENT ON TABLE AT THE CITY HOSPITAL

Miss Stella ZIMMER, daughter of Dr. F. W. ZIMMER, was taken seriously ill on Thursday of last week and on Friday was taken to the City Hospital, where an operation for appendicitis was performed by Drs. ZIMMER, JONES and JAMESON. The case was a most severe one. The appendix was found to be in a bad condition, although but a few hours elapsed after the first symptoms appeared before the operation was performed.

One of the nurses who assisted in the operation was taken down with a similar attack within a few minutes after the first case had been treated by the surgeons. She was also operated on with success. Both patients are on the road to recovery.

It is said that nurses and surgeons after witnessing operations in severe cases of appendicitis are liable to experience symptoms of the disease.

Samuel Hooey in a Critical Condition

Bath, Feb. 21 - Samuel HOOEY, a farmer, residing near Buena Vista, in the southwestern part of this town, is in a critical condition from a near approach to freezing to death a night or two ago.

His hands, feet and face are badly frozen, and he is suffering much from his long hours of exposure. His recovery is doubtful.

Phelps, Feb. 21 - A sensational runaway took place on the streets here last evening, shortly after 6 o'clock. A 4- year-old colt, owned by Elisha KENNEDY, who works the POTTER farm, that had been standing under the Cottage Hotel hitch sheds, got loose and dashed through the driveway, crossed Church street into Mrs. CARPENTER's yard and then plunged head foremost into the rear of the Catholic Church. He then circled around the church and while running between the parsonage and the church struck an iron pump with such force that it broke off at the curbing.

At this point one of the rear wheels of the carriage was demolished and when he again struck the street he was dragging the carriage on three wheels. In this manner he ran about four miles, when he managed to break from the carriage and then ran directly home, where he was found when Mr. KENNEDY reached there. The horse was cut up considerably.

There are some circumstances connected with the affair that Mr. KENNEDY will investigate. When he left the horse in the shed he was securely tied and had on a new bridle. This bridle is now missing and it was not attached to the horse when he came through the driveway at the Cottage Hotel. The tie strap which was fastened around the animal's neck and through the ring of the bridle bit was found in the shed tied to the hitching post. Some one evidently removed the bridle and stole it, leaving the horse fastened with the strap around its neck which it afterward slipped off and then got away. The buggy that was smashed was a new one and belonged to Eben POTTER.
