FALLS FROM WHEEL CHAIR INTO GRATE, BURNS TO DEATH

Wife of Perry Postmaster, an Invalid, Tries to Light Gas When Alone

Perry, Nov. 3 - Mrs. Luella COLE, wife of Postmaster Joseph E. COLE, was burned to death in her home in Leicester street about 5 o'clock this afternoon. Mrs. COLE had been an invalid for many years and was unable to walk. Her nurse was absent for the day and other members of the family had left her alone for a short time. It is supposed that she was in the act of turning on the gas in an open grate when she lost her balance and fell from her wheel chair. Her hair and clothing about the neck and waist were badly burned.

Mrs. LAPHAM, a relative who lives near by, went to the home about 5 o'clock and found Mrs. COLE. The carpet and other furnishings in the room were burning at that time, but were easily extinguished. Owing to the crippled condition of Mrs. COLE she was helpless to save herself after she fell from her chair. Coroner P. S. GOODWIN was called and issued a certificate of accidental death by burning.

Mrs. COLE was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. G. MATTHEWS, of this village, and was about 60 years old. She leaves her husband, one sister, Mrs. Flora HIGGINS, of Perry, and three children, Mrs. Henry WHITNACK, of Canton, Ohio; William and Mildred COLE, of Perry.

FIND BODY OF MAN BESIDE CONVEYOR

Workman Is Crushed to Death by Big Gear

Geneva, Nov. 3 - William HUFF, aged 47 years, of 66 Herbert street, a laborer in charge of the coal conveyor at the plant of the Empire Coke Company, in Border City, was found dead this afternoon beside the conveyor. The remains after being viewed by Coroner KNIGHT, of Seneca county, were taken to the undertaking rooms of DeVaney and Fletcher, this city, and later to the family home. Death is thought to have been instantaneous.

HUFF was in charge of the conveyor which carries the coal from the bins to the ovens and part of his duties was to see that the conveyor was working properly, but when the body was found he had no wrench or oil can with him and as no one saw the accident it is unknown just how his body came in contact with the large gear which crushed him to death. The other workmen, for one reason or another, had left, and one of them, returned, found the body of HUFF lying beside the conveyor. Officials of the company were notified.
The dead man leaves his wife and several children.

POSITIVE PRYOR IS THE MAN

Witness in Court in Mt. Morris Says He Could Not Be Mistaken

Mount Morris, Nov. 3 - Before Police Justice GAMBLE this morning at 10 o'clock, David PRYOR, who was arrested Monday morning on a charge of having attempted to enter the residence of John McCONNELL Sunday night, was given a hearing.

An affidavit made by Edward HURLBURT that he had seen a colored man coming from the McCONNELL yard about 1 o'clock Monday morning was read and Mr. HURLBURT took the stand. He was closely questioned by Attorney CONNOR, and he informed the court of how he met and passed a colored man near the McCONNELL residence. He assured the court that he was positive he could not be mistaken in his identification of the defendant as the man he saw.

John McCONNELL said that he had been awakened by his wife, who said she had heard someone pass between the two houses and walk onto his back porch. He arose and went to investigate. As he opened the kitchen door he was somewhat astonished to see the outline of a man on the outside of the screen door, which was fastened. It was dark and he could not see the face. After McCONNELL had asked the early morning visitor what he wanted the stranger shuffled out of the lane..

Mrs. McCONNELL, who also had made an affidavit, was not able to come into court, and the defendant then waived examination through Attorney CONNOR, Justice GAMBLE held PRYOR for the Grand Jury, which convenes in Geneseo next week, and he was given his liberty after Mr. and Mrs. Alfred HOLMES had gone on his bail for $500.

HAVE BEEN MARRIED SIXTY-SIX YEARS

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bush Had Interesting Life

Pittsford, Nov. 4 - Mr. and Mrs. Joseph H. BUSH, parents of Mrs. Adelbert TINKER, celebrated the 66thanniversary of their marriage to-day. The same date also marked Mr. BUSH'S eighty-sixth birthday and Mrs. BUSH is 81 years old. They are remarkably young looking and appearing, intellectual, and assist in daily duties in and around the house.

Several years ago they sold their farm home in Chessang, Michigan, where most of their married life has been spent. Since then they have resided with their daughter, Mrs. TINKER and family. Both were native New Yorkers.

They were very young when they were married. The groom left his bride safely at the home of her parents the day after the wedding, to seek his fortune. Finances were at a low ebb, as related by Mr. BUSH and his first work was the splitting of 1,000 rails, his remuneration being at the rate of 65c for each hundred. His employer thought he made too much money, so he sought another job and hired as a "rafter" on Lake Huron.

Later, after accumulating some money he bought a large farm in Michigan, built a log house and eventually cleared the tract. Indians and wild beasts proved hindrances and he tells many thrilling tales of the adventures of himself and family. Deer were the household pets and followed the children like dogs. Their united efforts brought them prosperity and with their family of two daughters and a son they spent many happy years there. Declining years caused them to move here where they have been happily situated for four years. Their children are: Mrs. Adelbert TINKER, of Pittsford; Mrs. Alta McKAY, of New Orthrop, Mich., and Frank BUSH, of Owosso, Mich.

MAN'S BODY IS IDENTIFIED

Was that of John Lennon, of Pawtucket - Fell from Train.

The body of an unknown man was found beside the New York Central's elevated tracks, near Allen street, early yesterday morning. The man had evidently fallen from a freight train in the night and been instantly killed. His skull was broken and the body was bruised. He had been dead fully four hours when discovered. Last night the body was identified as that of John LENNON, of Pawtucket.

Coroner KILLIP was notified of the finding of the body and caused its removal to the morgue. Last night Owen QUINN, of Pawtucket; identified the body as that of LENNON. He said he and LENNON first met in the city about two weeks ago, and, being from the same city, they naturally exchanged confidences. He said LENNON was a repairer of jewelry, and when he failed to obtain work in that line he turned to painting signs. QUINN said he was with LENNON on Wednesday and that LENNON told him he had about decided to "beat it" out of Rochester.

Coroner KILLIP wired Pawtucket last night. It is believed that the man either fell from a freight train or was killed in trying to board one.

ACCUSED OF MAKING COUNTERFEIT PLATES

Man Under Arrest Here Is Wanted in Cleveland

Emil MORF, of this city, was arrested yesterday under a warrant issued at the instance of Edward J. McHUGH, United States secret service agent, charging him with aiding or abetting counterfeiting. He was arraigned yesterday afternoon before United States Commissioner Edwin C. SMITH, who remanded him to the Monroe County Jail in lieu of $1,000 ball.

The allegation of Mr. McHUGH is that the defendant unlawfully made two plates and stones in the likeness of a plate or stone designated for the printing of a United States note with intent that the plates or note should be used to print an obligation similar to a regular United States $5 note. The time of the offense is given as between September 15th and October 15th and the place as Cleveland. The arrest of MORF is based on the testimony of the secret service agent in Cleveland and upon personal questioning.

MORF defies the accusation, declaring that he can easily prove his innocence of all connection with counterfeiting. He had not decided last evening whether he would waive examination in this city and face the charges in Cleveland or not. In view of the fact that trial in this city would mean imprisonment of several days, it is considered likely that MORF will decide to go at once to Cleveland, from which city the charges are made.

WAS LEARNING TO RUN CAR

Clarendon Man Had It Only Two Days When It Killed Man

Because he is suffering from shock brought on when his automobile ran over and fatally injured John LEONARD, 6? Years old, of No. 18 Fifth street, last Wednesday morning, James LASKY, of Clarendon, Orleans county, was unable to appear at an inquest held before Coroner KLEINDIENST yesterday. LASKY will appear and testify before the coroner some time this week however.

According to testimony given yesterday, LASKY had owned the automobile, but two days before the accident. In company with Harold BEUTCHLER, a jitney driver, of No. 325 Flint street, he left the garage where he had purchased the machine on Wednesday morning. BEUTCHLER drove the car until Rosewood terrace was reached; then LASKY was given the wheel, and he drove but 200 feet when it was necessary to turn out to pass a delivery wagon that was near the curb.

LEONARD was sweeping the pavement, his back turned toward the automobile. BEUTCHLER testified that LASKY sounded the horn, that LEONARD then stepped backward suddenly in front of the machine, and was knocked down, and the car ran over him. LASKY became so confused that he did not stop the machine until it had gone nearly 150 feet, BEUTCHLER said.

He said LASKY ran back and carried LEONARD to the sidewalk, then telephoned for an ambulance, LASKY did not appear to know what he was doing, said BEUTCHLER. LEONARD died on Thursday morning at the Homeopathic Hospital.

Other witnesses testified to having seen the accident, and said LEONARD was quite deaf. The coroner adjourned the inquiry until LASKY could testify.

MURDERER AT LARGE; MAY HAVE QUIT CITY

Police Have Sent Out Complete Description of Him

The police are making every effort to catch Michele VENERE, 26 years old, who shot and killed Luigi FAZZINI, in Smith street, near Jay street late Saturday night. They are so certain VENERE did the shooting that they have sent a description of him to all the cities and towns in this vicinity. It is believed he has been able to get out of the city.

The police investigation continued until a late hour yesterday morning all the men of the Detective Bureau remaining on duty until 9 o'clock. Detective-Captain WHALEY and a score of plain-clothes men and policemen were in Smith street ten minutes after the shooting, but, as was to be expected, no one questioned would admit having any knowledge of the affair.

When the officers reached Smith street, FAZZINI lay dead. Everything pointed to the fact that his murderer sneaked up behind him and almost pressed the revolver against the back of his neck as he discharged it. The bullet caused instant death.

At midnight Captain WHALEY and Assistant District-Attorney William F. DOVE went to headquarters and began the examination of persons brought there by the detectives, Commissioner HAMILTON participated in the investigation.

VENERE, a laborer, is about five feet four inches tall, weighs between 110 and 120 pounds and has brown hair. He is a native of Sicily, and has been in America about two years. When he left home Saturday night he wore a light brown coat and trousers, a red sweater and a cap of dark material. He is smooth-shaven.

MAN'S CRUSHED BODY LAY UNDER HIGH RIVER BRIDGE

Probably That of Foreigner Who Jumped or Fell to Rocky Bed of Stream

The body of an unknown man who either fell down the river bank or jumped from the Driving Park avenue bridge some time yesterday morning, lies at the morgue. No one saw the man when he fell, so how he met death may never be known. The body was discovered by a man who was crossing the bridge about 11 o'clock. The bridge is 212 feet above the river.

The body lay on the rocks at the bottom of the east bank of the river, just north of the bridge. Nearby is the foot of the inclined railway that extends to the light company's power house No. 5. Word was sent to the power house, and later the police and Coroner KLEINDIENST were notified.

Robert STONE, morgue superintendent, descended to where the body lay. A brief examination showed that it had been there several hours. It was taken to the bridge by way of the inclined railway, on one of the little cars.

The man was about 33 years old. He was five feet seven inches in height, weighed about 140 pounds, had dark hair and eyes, and wore a light, fuzzy mustache. He was clothed in gray plaid trousers, a workman's shirt of faded blue, white cotton sweater, gray coat and low black shoes. The fall to the rocks had crushed the skull and broken both legs in several places. The arms also were broken.

In one of the dead man's pockets was found an advertisement of the Abar & Merchant Company, No. 133 Andrews street. The firm makes automobile accessories and engines. On the bottom of the piece of paper, written with a lead pencil, was the address of W. T. REEVE, No. 420 Linden street.

REEVE went to the morgue, but said he could not recall having ever seen the man in life. REEVE is a salesman and sometimes employs men. He said he probably had given the stranger his address at some time.

Several other persons went to the morgue to see the body. It is believed to be that of a foreigner.

FELLED HIS MOTHER WITH BLOW IN FACE

Charge That Police Make Against Samuel Sims

On a charge of having struck his mother a heavy blow squarely in the face, felling her, Samuel SIMS, 47 years old, a boilermaker, will have a hearing in police court this morning. Two policemen say the attack was made in their presence. The charge is of assault in the third degree.

The condition of the mother, Mrs. Susan M. SIMS, when she left her home, No. 41 Franklin street, Saturday afternoon, attracted the attention of Sergeant McKEON and Patrolman George NEIDERT. She was barefoot and hatless, and otherwise lightly clothed, and the policemen say she seemed to be weak, as if suffering from want of food. They took the elderly woman back into her home, which was in much disorder, and there found the son asleep, under the influence of liquor, they say.

When the policemen told SIMS he had better leave the house, he replied that he intended to do so; and the three went downstairs, where the mother had been left. Before they could intervene, the policemen say SIMS struck his mother. He was then arrested. Mrs. SIMS will be cared for by the city authorities.

SERGEANT BAUER RETURNS

Recruiting Sergeant Back in City after Three Months Out West

Sergeant Charles A. BAUER, who has recruited men for the United States army in Rochester for about nine years, returned to his offices in the Federal Building yesterday after an absence of several months, on the Pacific coast. The Sergeant is with Corporal Joseph HAHN to enlist men for the army.

The Rochester field has been especially productive all the year and this fall has done unusually well. If Congress passes measures calling for a much larger army. It is likely that the bars of physical examination will be let down somewhat. Sergeant BAUER will then be looking to furnish more than Rochester's quota.
