It is with feelings of
deep regret that we announce the death of Mr. Rozel Bailey, one of the
earliest and most respectable inhabitants in this county. As he was returning
homewards on the 23rd ult. with a two-horse team loaded with heavy iron
castings for a saw mill, the horses, in the neighborhood of "Daggett's
Hollow," ran off, Mr. Bailey, it seems, was sitting up on the wagon when
it broke to pieces, and no doubt was dragged a considerable distance before
the horses became disengaged from the fragments of the wreck. The body was
taken up a short time after, but the vital spark had fled to Him who gave it.
The remains, on the Monday following, were followed to the grave by a large
concourse of citizens, who seemed deeply affected by the melancholy
catastrophe, which has taken from our society a worthy member and much
beloved neighbor. |

A Puritan Relic - Mr.
Oliver Willard of Charleston, now in his eightieth year, has an ivory snuff
box, which was brought to this country by Joseph Willard a passenger in the
May Flower. The box is 3 inches long, 2 inches wide and about half an inch
deep, and is locked by two silver clasps, upon which are marked the initials
"I.W." It has descended as an heir loom from Joseph Willard
(father) to Joseph Willard (son) for 9 generations in this country and has
never been out of the Willard family since 1620. How long it was in the
family before Joseph Willard landed at Plymouth Rock is not known. It is quite
a curiousity, and suggests many reflections. Although made for a snuff box,
it certainly could not have been used for that purpose during the residence

LOVE AND MURDER. Wm.
Thomas Underwood Stabs Charlotte Pridgeon. JEALOUSY THE MOTIVE FOR THE
COWARDLY DEED. The Murdered Girl Falls Dead Almost at Her Destroyer's Feet.
PITIFUL SCENES IN THE HOUSE OF DEATH. The Murderer Voluntarily Delivers
Himself to the Police. AND IS LOCKED UP AT THE GRATIOT STREET STATION. Who
and What He is and How He Appears. HE HAS NO WISH BUT TO FOLLOW HIS VICTIM.
The Tortures of Jealousy, Terror and Remorse. - Last evening No. 240
Lafayette street east was the scene of one of the most shocking and cowardly
murders ever perpetrated in this city. The victim was a young woman named
Charlotte Pridgeon, aged 23 years, and the murderer one William Thomas
Underwood, a sailor, aged 33. Underwood and the ill-fated gril had been
acquainted with each other several months, and were betrothed. Recently Miss
Pridgeon had shown considerable disinclination for Underwood's company, and
although a day for their marriage had been twice agreed upon, she (according
to the murderer) induced him to wait yet longer. On Wednesday last she
engaged board at the house of Wm. Straight, 240 Lafayette street east, and
last evening about 7 o'clock Underwood called to see her. He was admitted by
Mr. Straight, but remained only a few minutes. Miss Pridgeon accompanied him
out and walked several blocks with him. Upon their return to the house she
bad him good night, at the same time rapping on the door. At that instant
Underwood drew a knife, plunged it into her heart, and darted down Lafayette
street. Mr. Straight in answer to the knock, opened the door, when Miss
Pridgeon uttered a shriek and staggered into the hall saying, "I am
struck - Iam dying. A man stabbed me." With these words she fell heavily
to the floor and never breathed again, the blood meanwhile pouring in a
torrent from her breast, and finally gathering in a pool upon the carpet
where she lay. The moment he recovered from the shock given him by the
dreadful spectacle Mr. Straight dispatched messengers in search of an officer

Straight's since Wednesday last. She was a sister of Capt. John Pridgeon, of
this city. The murderer was William Thomas Underwood, a Englishman 33 years
of age, who is by trade a sailor, and has also worked in shipyards in this
city. Last evening about 7 o'clock Underwood called at Straight's house to
see Miss Pridgeon. After being in the house a few minutes she asked him to go
out and take a walk, to which he assented. After being out about an hour,
they returned to the house, when she bid him good-night and rapped at the
door. Underwood then drew a knife, and frantically stabbed her in the heart.
He then ran into the street, and ran down Lafayette street to Antoine, and
thence to Gratiot street, where he met patrolman E. F. Deitrich, and
surrendered himself. A few second after Miss Pridgeon was stabbed, Mr.
Straight answering her rapping by opening the door, when she staggered into
the hall, gasping out: "I am dying. I am stabbed. That man killed
me." Mr. Straight caught her in his arms, her blood welling out in a
torrent from the gaping wound, and covering her dress and the carpet. She
died in a few moments. The consternation of the family and some visitors then
in the house may be imagined. After the news of the horrible deed spread
around, the house was crowded with friends and relatives of the deceased, as
well as strangers, attracted by a morbid curiosity. After she was laid out
and cleansed from the blood that covered her breast and clothing, it was easy
to see that Charlotte Pridgeon had been possessed of considerable personal
attractions. She was tall and graceful, with a handsome face, and blonde hair
and complexion. |

CHICAGO, March 7 - A
dispatch from Detroit says that W. T. Underwood of Cleveland, became enamored
of Miss Anna Pridgeon [error, should read Charlotte Pridgeon], of Detroit. He
proposed marriage, but was refused. Again offering himself and being again
refused, he stabbed her to the heart, instantly killing her. Underwood's
former wife, who had gained a divorce from him, had acquainted Miss Pridgeon
with his character. |

THE PRIDGEON TRAGEDY.
Arraignment of Wm. T. Underwood for Murder. HIS EXAMINATION DOCKETED FOR
FRIDAY, MARCH 13TH. Something More About His History. THE MURDERED WOMAN'S
FUNERAL TAKES PLACE TO-DAY. The murder of Charlotte Pridgeon by William
Thomas Underwood on Friday was the chief topic of conversation in this city
yesterday. Such sudden and tragic ending of a human life could not be passed
over lightly, and on the streets, in restaurants, in public offices, in all
places where men congregate, it was a fruitful theme for discussion. The
house where the dead body lay was besieged with visitors, most of whom were
actuated by curiosity, but only a few were admitted. Underwood was taken from
the Gratiot street station to the county jail about 10 o'clock Saturday
morning, and from that hour until the doors closed for the night persistent
interviewers sought his presence, filling the jail corridors and occasioning
the good-natured officials any amount of inconvenience and tribulation. The
prisoner was quite communicative, but he is not yet able to contro his
emotions, and he weeps piteously, most of the time. At every mention of his
victim's name he becomes frantic, and wishes that he had driven the knife
into his own heart instead of hers. "I loved her, oh! I loved her,"
is his frequent exclamation, and the certainty that he shall look upon her face
never more is a sharper stab than ever the consciousness that he is her
murderer. In the course of conversation with him on Saturday Underwood stated
to a reporter of The Free Press that his father, mother, four brothers and
five sisters are all living in London, England, but that his correspondence
with them has been mostly carried on through a cousin, Wm. Walker, whose
address is No. 3 Grove Terrace, Bishop's Road, Bayswater, London, England. He
went to sea whe a small boy, having seen his first service on board her
Majesty's ship Countess of Durham, runnning from London to Malta and
Constantinople. He came to America in 1860 . . . |

THE MURDERER'S REMORSE
- Underwood at Court and in His Cell - Trying to Starve Himself. William T.
Underwood was arraigned at the Police Court on Saturday afternoon for the
killing of Charlotte Pridgeon. Seeming to be in no condition to enter and
intelligent plea for himself the court directed the pleas of not guilty to be
entered., and his examination was set down for 2 o'clock on Friday next. He
was taken from the station to the jail on Saturday forenoon, where he is now
confined. He holds no conversation with his fellow prisoners whatever,
keeping within his cell and pacing back and forth continually, though he is
allowed the entire freedom of the corridor. Since the commission of the
offense he has taken no sleep, and refuses any and all nourishment, seeming
to have no desire to live. An attempt was made by the doctor last evening to
give him sleep by the injection of morphine into his arm, but it failed to
have the desired effect. |

Chicago, March 7. - A
Detroit dispatch says that Mr. T. Underwood, of Cleveland, who came here to
reside some months ago, became enamored of Miss Annie Pridgeon [error, should
read Charlotte Pridgeon], sister of the well known Capt. John Pridgeon, and
one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies of Detroit. She
rejected his suit, but one evening at his request, went to walk with him. On
their standing at the door of her home he again offered himself, and she
again refused, when Underwood instantly drew a knife and stabbed her to the
heart, and rushing to the police station, and gave himself up. The wound was
instantly fatal. Recently Underwood's wife had obtained a divorce from him,
and had acquainted Miss Pridgeon with his character. |

On last Friday evening
Wm. T. Underwood, of Cleveland, stabbed and instantly killed a Miss Anna
Pridgeon [error, should read Charlotte Pridgeon], of Detroit, who is
represented as one of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies of the
latter city. Miss P., who had been receiving the attentions of Underwood, had
recently been made aware of his unworthy character through his divorced wife
residing at Cleveland; impelled by the information received, Underwood's
repeated offer of marriage was again rejected on the evening in question,
whence the murderous assault. The murderer is in jail. |

one mile from old Fort Edward, and was married to Robert Bailey in 1815, and
immigrated to the town of Independence in 1835, where, in 1868, Robert Bailey
died. They lived to see their four sons and two daughters settled around them
enjoying the many comforts of life. Mrs. B. was a member of the Christian

the plant is hanging full of red and white blossoms, each on a separate

of the house owned by Wm. Bailey. The fire had gained considerable headway,

saved. The property was insured for the amount of $1500. The origin of the

Mrs. Rankin Lewis -
DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT OF WELLSBORO - Mrs. Sophia H. Lewis died at her
residence in this village last Saturday night between eleven and twelve
o'clock. She was the widow of Rankin Lewis, the printer of the Pioneer, the
first newspaper published in this region. Mr. Lewis died on the 80th of
October, 1838, leaving Mrs. Lewis no property and with two young daughters to
support. But by her industry and thrift the widow thus left to her own
resources succeeded, mainly by the aid of her needle, not only in supporting
herself and her little family, but in purchasing the home in which she passed
the remainder of her days. Her maiden name was Sophia H. Bliss, and she was
born in Springfield, Mass., May 3, 1810, being in her seventieth yuear at the
time of her death. She came to Wellsboro in September, 1826, and was married
to Mr. Lewis March 5, 1829. She was the mother of four children - all girls -
of whom two died in infancy and two - Mrs. M. Bullard and Mrs. O. Bullard, of
this village - are still living. Mrs. Lewis was a woman of more than ordinary
intellect and information, and was a bright, genial, interesting talker and a
decided acquisition to any social circle into which she might chance to
enter. She had long been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, - so
long that she, remembered the church-going days when it was customary to
carefully remove all ribbons and ornaments from the dress before entering the
house of the Lord. Mrs. Lewis was a sister of William Bliss, of this borough,
and of John Bliss, of Charleston. The funeral services will be held at the

Mr. Hiram Willard, of Marsh Creek, and Mr. Sam Satterlee were scuffling near
the store of C. C. Mathers & Co., in this borough, and the fun closed
with a broken leg for Mr. Willard, the lower extremity of the tibia, near the
ankle, being fractured. Dr. M. L. Bacon set the leg, and Mr. Willard was
taken home in the evening. The prospects for a good leg agin are rather slim. |

S.C. Peters, of Boyd
& Peter's show that is to give an exhibition in Pontiac to-day, came very
near losing his life at Royal Oak last Wednesday evening. He was returning from Detroit with a load
of corn, and when almost home the wagon capsized and he was buried under the
load in such a way that he was unable to extricate himself. John Krepps, his night watchman, got uneasy
over the prolonged absence of Peters, and about midnight started down the
road to investigate, and had only gone half a mile when he discovered why his
employer didn't return. Help was
speedily summoned and Peters was taken out more nearly dead than alive. It
was a very narrow escape. |

Boyd and Peter's
combination of high sounding titles struck Pontiac last Wednesday and didn't
create a very favorable impression. The street parade was like the
horseflesh, thin, and while some parts of the circus were hard to beat,
others didn't amount to much. We suppose that allowances should be made for
the fact that the proprietors are young at the business and this was their
3rd or 4th stopping place. |

that buried six of his children in one month two years ago. For the past four
years Bailey Lake settlement has been visited by remarkable and destructive
fires that can not be accounted for. One John Black, had his house burned,

Pridgeon, Jr., Wednesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, when about
three miles northeast of this place, and sunk in forty-two feet of water.
Five men are missing and are supposed to have gone down with the Chamberlain.
The Chamberlain left Milwaukee Wednesday afternoon and was bound for Escanaba
for iron. She had the schooner Fayette Brown in tow. The Pridgeon arrived
here yesterday morning. Captain Greeley, of the lost steambarge Selah
Chamberlain, says the Chamberlain was struck on the port bow, and was cut
down to below the waterline. She immediately began to sink, and Captain
Greenley ordered the boats lowered. The five men who were lost jumped into
one of the boats, when the davits broke, and they were dumped into the lake
and drowned. The Chamberlain lies about three miles east of Sheboygan Point. |

Last Thursday Mr. and

is eighty-three years of age and Mrs. Cook is eighty. The genial couple have
spent the whole sixty years of their married life in this borough. On the
15th of May, 1830, Mr. Cook and Miss Philena Willard, daughter of Oliver
Willard, who was one of the first settlers in Charleston, drove from this
borough to the home of Rankin Lewis, at Tioga, where they were quietly
married. Fifty years ago, when it was customary for the Prothonatary to
appoint the tipstaves for each term of Court, Mr. Cook occasionally got the
job, and forty years ago he was regularly appointed to, the palce, and he has
held the position ever since. Both Mr. and Mrs. Cook retain their faculties
to a remarkable degree, and life still has many charms for them. Last
Thursday afternoon about fifty guests paid their respects to the aged couple
and enjoyed their hospitality, among the number being many members of the
bar. Substantial remembrances were left in the shape of a purse of $140 and
numerous other gifts. We hope the venerable couple may live to celebrate
their diamond wedding fifteen years hence. They desire to express their
sincere thanks to the many kind friends who remembered them last Thursday. |

Dr. Abel Humphrey,
formerly of Tioga died at Center Hill, Florida, on the 1st instant. He
suffered from an attack of the grip, which developed into dropsy and
terminated fatally into disease of the heart. We believe Dr. Humphrey was
born seventy-five years ago last January in Chenango county, N.Y. He came to
Tioga in 1840 and taught school there. He then studied medicinne and for many
years practiced his profession very successfully in that part of the county.
He was a strong abolitionist, was active in organizing the Republican party
and was zealous and efficient in advocating his principles on the stump. At
one time he was Associate Judge of the county, and during the war and
afterward he held the office of Special Mail Agent under the Postoffice
Department. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress against Hon. G. A.
Grow in 1862. He went to Florida about ten years ago and practiced medicine
there until his death. Dr. Humphrey was a man of more than ordinary ability,
well informed, quick witted, impulsive and very decided i support of his own
convictions. he was warm hearted, and his sypathetic nature greatly endeared
him to many friends who will regret to learn of his death. |

Fire this Morning -
About three o'clock this morning Mr. L. L. Bailey's dwelling house on Walnut
street was greatly damaged by fire and water. Mr. Bailey's two sons were
aroused by smoke in their room in the back part of the house. The fire seemed
to have smouldered a long time between the walls before it broke out. The
firemen turned on the water but it was a long time before the flames were
extinguished it being found awkward work to reach them. The back part of the
house was burned down, and the roof was nearly burned off and the plastering
was spoiled by the water. Most of the furniture of the house was saved, but
almost all the clothing of the six children was destroyed. Mr. Bailey thinks
that he has insurance enough to cover the loss. He has leased the Jacobson
house on Meade street, where he formerly lived, and is putting things to
rights as fast as possible. The origin of the fire is unknown. |

The sad event of the
death of Mrs. Laura M. Clark Strait occurred at the residence of L. R.
Gleason, Esq. in this village on the morning of July 3d. Mrs. Strait had just
completed her arrangements and was waiting to take the next train to
accompany her daughter to her new home in Pueblo, Col., when she was taken
suddently ill and took instead, that long journey to that land "from
which no traveler returns." She was the daughter of Josephus Clark, who
emigrated in an early day to this state from Mass., and was one of the
pioneer settlers of Tioga couty, having settled in Rutland, where the subject
of this sketch was born, May 18, 1824. She was the eldest of a family of
eleven children, two, only, of which survive her, Mrs. Mary A. Clark Corey,
of Stuttgardt, Arkansas, and Mrs. helen M. Clark Ingraham, wife of Capt. D.
P. Ingraham, of Elmira, N. Y. She was the widow of S. S. Strait, late of this
place, and sister to B. W. Clark, so well and favorably known among the early
business men of Canton, whose widow is now the esteemed wife our fellow
townsman, L. R. Gleason. Mrs. Strait was also a sister of the late Julia A.
Clark Humphrey, widow of Dr. A. Humphrey, formerly of Tioga county, Pa. She
leaves of her own family to mourn their great loss, one son, Samuel J.
Strait, living near this village, and one daughter, Mrs. D. C. Moran, now of
Pueblo, Colorado, where the sympathy of her many friends follow her. Mrs.
Strait was fast approaching the allotted age of man, having well entered her
68th year, and in good works was fully ripe for the harvests. She was an
acceptable member of the First Baptist church of this place, having united
with that society under the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. McGowen. Although a
great sufferer during the few days of her illness, yet she passed away like a
child going to sleep, with perfect trust in her Savior, and the sweet,
beautiful expression on her countenance as she lay in her casket showed that
in her heart could be malice toward none. |

Mrs. Betsy Lawrence -
Her Death at the Remarkable Age of 101 Years - Mrs. Betsy Lawrence, than whom
there were few older persons living in this part of the state, died at the
home of her son, C. H. Lawrence, in this boro, about 4 o'clock last Sunday
morning aged 100 years, 8 months and 14 days.
Mrs. Lawrence had been confined to her bed only since Thursday of last
week. She conversed intelligently with members of the family Saturday afternoon
and to all appearances, while unable longer to speak, retained control of her
mental faculties to the hour of dissolution. Mrs. Lawrence was born in the
state of Massachusetts, on Feb. 11, 1791. She was the youngest of ten
children equally divided between the sexes, of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bailey.
When eleven years old she accompanied her oldest brother, Roswell Bailey, to
this county and continued to reside with him on a farm hewn from the
wilderness near the present hamlet of Dartt Settlement until, a few years
later, her parents left their New England home to take up their residence on
one of the Bingham estate possessions embracing the farm near the mouth of
MIll Creek, subsequently known as the Joseph Guernsey place. The house in
which they lived was a rough log structure, and stood between the railroad
tract and the Tioga river. Roswell Bailey, previously mentioned as the
brother with who Mrs. Lawrence came to Pennsylvania, was the father of John
W. Bailey, of Wellsboro; Mrs. Philip Williams, of this boro, and Clark,
Robert, Benjamin, Wilson and Rockwell Bailey and Mrs. Richard Moore, all long
since deceased. Among the near neighbors of the Bailey family at Mill Creek,
was Lyman Adams, father of William Adams of this boro, who conducted a
general store and carried on a saw mill in the neighborhood. From the mouth
of Mill Creek, which at the time of which we write was an important business
centre, the Bailey family moved to the farm in Rutland, near the mouth of
Bailey creek, now owned by William Lawrence, of this boro . . . |

was confined to her bed only three days prior to her death, and a few hours
before passing away she was able to converse intelligently with her family.
She retained her mental faculties up to the very moment that her spirit took
its flight. this remarkable woman was born in Massachusetts. When she was eleven
years of age she came to this county with her oldest brother, Roswell Bailey,
and for a number of years resided with him at Dartt Settlement, and then her
parents came from New England and she went to live with them on Mill Creek.
She was married in 1812 to Jonathan Lawrence, and she became the mother of
nine children. Mrs. Lawrence was the aunt of Mr. John W. Bailey of this
borough. |

Death of Mrs. Wilson
Bailey - Mrs. Rachel Riker Bailey, widow of Wilson Bailey, deceased, died
Wednesday, April 18, of heart failure, aged 76 years, at the home of her son,
Winfield Bailey, on the old homestead in northeast Independence. The deceased
was the daughter of John Riker and was born at Big Flats, Chemung county,
N.Y., December 31, 1817, came to Michigan and Independence in 1837, and
settled on Sashabaw Plains. She married Wilson Bailey in 1840. Associated
with Fred Myrick, her husband purchased and cleared up what is now known as
Mohopac. They built a saw mill, cutting the timber into lumber much of which
was used in Pontiac. The C. A. Palmer house was built by Mr. Myrick, who just
after its completion, died of small pox in New York city. Mr. Bailey lived at
Mohopac only a few years before his last illness. After her husband's death
Mrs. Bailey lived in Pontiac a few years and then returned to the scenes of
her pioneer life, the old home with its sacred recollections, to pass the
remainder of her days. Here she died respected by her neighbors and beloved
by her children. Mrs. Bailey leaves three sons and one daughter, Wilson,
Winfield and Morris. The late Wallace Bailey was her son. One brother, George
Riker of Cass City and Mrs. Wormley, the mother of Mrs. George Alexander,
survive her. The funeral was held at the home and the remains interred by the
side of her husband in Sashabaw Cemetery. A large concourse of neighbors and

appeared to be about equal to six bushels which have been sold other years
for as much as $2 a pound, however, this year a bounty of twenty-five cents a
pound will be added; she also has one and a quarter pounds of eggs which are
valued at $3 an ounce. It requires from six to eight weeks for the silk worm
to reach maturity, wind the cocoon, lay its eggs and die. Considerable labor
is required to take care of these profitable creatures as they have to be fed
five times a day besides needing other attention, nevertheless it is a very
pleasant occupation and one that might busy a great many of our younng
people. The lady deserves great credit for launching out in this worthy
enterprise and it is to be hoped others in our county will follow her
example. |

This is the saddest day of my life. Warren P. Rose died Oct. 7th 1895 at
Denmark, Lee County, Iowa. This mornings mail brought me the sad news of my
brothers death. Oh how disappointed I am, as I expected him here in a few
days. I anticipated the enjoyment of his association all winter, and expected
he would remain with us the balance of his life, and now to have our hopes,
our anticipations lost forever. My oldest brother, Isaac Rose, lost his life
at Pea Ridge, Ark. in defense of our old flag and American homes, but that
was the casualty of war, that he and I took at our risk, as all of our
comrades know by experience. But now how different it seems, that in a time
of profound peace with all nations, and no signs of war at home or abroad,
that a life has gone out, and that life should be my brothers. It is the
first death in our family since 1840, except the brother above mentioned.
Warren P. Rose was born in Onondaga Co., N.Y., in 1826. Our parents moved to
Illinois in 1833, our mother died in 1838, and in 1840 our father died, since
which time our family has been hale and hearty. No Dr., to my knowledge, has
ever been called to minister to any one of us. My brother, belonged to
Grayling Chapter F. & A. M. He lived and practiced the Golden Rule and
believed in the great brotherhood of man. His life went out like a candle, no
regrets or complaint and no struggle. He is at rest. A. J. Rose. |

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
At a special encampment of Marvin Post. No. 240, Grand Army of the Republic,
held on Saturday evening, Jan. 29th., 1898, the following preamble and
resolutions were presented and adopted: WHERAS, The Supreme Commander of the
Universe, in his unquestioned wisdom, has mustered out of our ranks, Comrade
A. J. Rose, a member of this Post, who formerly served in the 126th. New York
Infantry, and who through his life did worthily honor the cause for which he
fought, the memories we cherish, the flag we salute and the Grand Army to
which we belong. Therefore be it RESOLVED - That while we bow in submission
to his will, and mourn the departure of our comrade, we are pleased to feel
and know that his earthly trials and tribulations are ended, and that he has
gone to that country where the anger of cannon no longer burdens the air;
where the gleam of sabre and bayonet no longer blinds the eyes, and where the
passions of war is forever stilled; yet our heartfelt sympathy is given to
the widow and children whose right it is to mourn. RESOLVED - That a copy of
these resolutions be presented to the widow of our deceased comrade; that a
copy be spread upon the records of the Post, and that they be published in
the Country papers, as a mark of our fraternal regard. O. Palmer, R. P.
Forbes, Com. H. Trumley. |

IN MEMORIAM. DIED - At
his home in this village, Thursday, January 27th., Asa J. Rose, aged 71
years. Deceased was born in Onandaga County, N.Y., Dec. 21st., 1827. He was
left an orphan at the age of eleven years, since when he depended on his own
exertions to sustain himself, to rear his family, and to become as he did, a
self respecting, and a respected citizen of this great Nation. Nature gave
him a powerful constitution, and great natural ability, which he used to such
advantage, that, though in his earlier years he labored under a load of
friendless poverty, he obtained a liberal education, broader than that of many
men, though less technical, and became a master of mechanic arts. A love of
nature has ever kept him in close touch with agricultural pursuits, and he
has long enjoyed the pleasure of agricultural experiments. He has lived in
the rocky East, on the rolling prairies of the West, and amid the mining
wilds of Mexico, with varied fortune, but ever sustaining the best of all,
his manhood. When Secession threatened, he opposed it, and when Rebellion
followed, he left home and family and all, a willing sacrifice, if need be,
on the altar of his country. Only his comrades can know the life of those
years in camp and field, in bivouac and battle, and in the prison pen, from
which he came, yet strong, though broken, and took up again the taskes and
trials of civil life, with the same courage of his convictions that marked
him as a man unusually positive in every move. He came to this county in
1881, and made his home from which he was taken to his final rest, and had
done much toward the development of this section. He leaves the wife of his
youth and his manhood, three daughters and two sons to revere his memory. The
service at the residence on Sunday, conducted by Rev. R. L. Cope, assisted by
Rev. Mawhorter, Post chaplain, were very impressive, and he was buried by his
comrades of Marvin Post, in accordance with their ritual, as he desired.
Another comrade has been mustered out. |

Canonsburg, Pa., Feb. 5
- This town is in a ferment of excitement over the death on Thursday evening
of Mrs. J. O. Whiteside, an old and highly respected member of this
community. The old lady died in convulsions while being attended by faith
curists, who, it is alleged, refused to call in a regular physician. A burial
permit was refused by the authorities until the coroner had investigated the
case. After a long and thorough investigation the coroner's jury last night brought
in a verdict charging gross neglect against Rev. C. H. Pridgeon, Miss Ella
McMillan and Mrs. Flora Holladay, who were in charge of the deceased, and
recommending that they be made to answer in court for their neglect. Rev. Mr.
Pridgeon is pastor of the First Presbyterian church, of this place, and is a
pronounced faith curist. Arrests are expected soon, and as all connected with
the affair are prominent in social and religious circles great interest is
manifested in the outcome. |

TREACHERY - Evidence Accumulating that the Explosion Which Wrecked the Maine
Came from the Outside. Washington, D.C., Feb. 24. - Dispatches received from
Chas. M. Pepper, its Havana correspondent, by the Washington Evening Star, at
noon to-day, says that the divers are developing important results. From an
examination of the interior of the Maine they have secured evidence which
proves conclusively that the explosion came from underneath the ship. Some of
the smaller magazines may have exploded, but the main 10-inch magazine did
not. The condition of the interior of the ship shows further evidence of the
wreck being due to outside force. The Spaniards will base their theory of an
accident on the claim that a fire preceded the explosion. |

Mr. Gideon s. Cook,
died last Thursday at the county poor-house, where he had been for five or
six years. He had been nearly blind for a number of years, but he retained
all his other faculties to a remarkable degree for a person of such advanced
age. he was a well-known figure about the courts in this county for about
half a century, and he was highly esteemed for his kindly nature and his
faithfulness in the discharge of his duty. Mr. Cook was of Irish parentage.
He was born October 12, 1807, at Suffield, Connecticut. He came to this
borough in 1828 and for some years worked at his trade as a carpenter and
joiner and later at painting and paper-hanging. On May 15, 1830, he married
Miss Philena Willard, daughter of Mr. Oliver Willard, who was one of the
earliest settlers in Charleston township. The couple lived happily together
for more than sixty years, but they never had any children. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Cook were extremely fond of children, however, and they made their home a
delightful resort for the children of the neighborhood. In 1850 Mr. Cook was
appointed Court Crier, and after serving for a time in that capacity he was
appointed a Tipstaff, and he served continuously in that station for more
than forty years. It was only on account of his failing sight and feebleness
that he was allowed to relinquish the position. Very soon after the death of
his aged wife Mr. Cook was taken to the poor-house. Though he was then
considerably more than fourscore, his memory was clear and his mind active,
and he delighted to converse with his friends about "ye olden time"
and recall anecdotes of those who long ago passed to the other shore. He
calmly, patiently and hopefully awaited the summons to join that innumerable
throng. His faith was firm in the future and his hope was joyous. The funeral
was held last Saturday morning in the Presbyterian church. |

no more than made the capture before he was attacked by the mother - which
proved to be a mountain lion. As it sprang at him, it caught his car. Just as
this moment, the dogs pounced upon the infuriated lion which diverted her
attention from the boys, who made as fast as possible for camp. After getting
a gun they went back and shot the old lion and three of the cubs; one cub
made its escape and one was captured. The latter was taken to Henefer and
will be raised by Mr. Stevens. The people of Henefer, many of whom are sheep

Maimed on the Fourth -
Rain marred the largely attended celebration of the Fourth at Blossburg, but
a much more serious drawback than that made itself felt before the festivity
was over. Mr. Harry B. Kingsley, a young man from Mansfield, well known in
this borough, had his right hand mangled terribly in the evening, while in
front of Smith & Landon's jewelry store, engaged, with friends, in firing
giant firecrackers. The cracker which did the fearful work had been lighted
twice, but failed to explode, and when picked up by Mr. Kingsley and lighted
the third time, there were only two inches of the fuse left. He lighted the
fuse and was about to throw the cracker, in the raodway, when he saw a horse
and buggy approaching, and as he hesitated considerately, the great cracker
exploded in his hand. The first and second fingers were torn off bodily and
the thumb and fourth finger were lacerated terribly. Mr. Kingsley was removed
immediately to the Cottage Hospital where his injury was treated and he was
made as comfortable as possible. He has just finished his second year as a
student in the Philadelphia Dental College, and it would seem that his injury
would prevent his following his chosen profession. The large plate glass
window of the jewelry store, near which Mr. Kigsley stood when his terrible
misfortune befell him, was demolished entirely by the concussive force of the
explosion. |

CUBAN SENTIMENT.
Charles Pepper, the widely known correspondent, sends the New York Commercial
Advertiser a very interesting letter from Havana, giving his observations
respecting change of sentiment there during the past year. He was in the island for a long time after
the occupation and has just returned to make an investigation of present
conditions. On the boat there were a number of Cubans. One was a young man
whom he met on his previous trip. This man has lived much in the United
States because of his connection with the revolution. A year ago he was loud
in support of absolute independence and talked patronizingly of what the
Americans had done for the island. Now he calls himself an American and
insists that the island be annexed. Another passenger was a woman who was
violently anti-American a year ago. On this trip she devoted herself to
proselyting among other Cuban passengers, insisting that there was no
possible salvation for the island but through some kind of union with the
United States. In Havana Pepper found many such changes of opinion, and he
feels that a revolution in public sentiment is in progress. This indicates
that the Cubans can see a thing when it stands before their eyes long enough. |

Mrs. E. F. Rose, who
returned from Canada last year, is fostering the silk industry agin here this
summer. She is raising enough silkworms, she estimates to make 150 pounds of
cocoons and to raise nearly enough eggs to supply the state. She is very
devoted to the work and finds it remunerative, too. Mr. Rose is also very
enthusiastic over the industry and talks like the money there is in the
business will cause him to espouse the work as soon as he can get his other
business in shape to make the change. He says it is easy work but one must be
pains-taking and patient. He thinks there are a great many people in this
county, who could make good money, if they would study silk raising and go
into the business. |

This has been a busy
week for Mrs. E. F. Rose with her silk worms. These creatures devour
something like thirty-five sacks of mulberry leaves a day which exceeds
thirty-five bushels. Eleven hands are kept busy from morning unntil nearly
midnight, gathering leaves, feeding and caring for the worms. After this
week, however, the greatest rush will be over. Most of the worms have already
commenced to spin cocoons and have quit eating. They remain in the cocoon
about twenty days when they come forth in the form of a miller. A team was
hauling oakbrush Monday and Tuesday for the worms to fasten cocoons to. Mrs.
Margret Caine, one of the state silk commissioners, was up last week and said
Mrs. Rose had the finest lot of silkworms she had ever seen. There are
mulberryleaves enough in Farmington to support about three times as many
silkworms as there are now. The leaves are gathered by clipping the ends of
the branches off the trees. It is claimed the nature of the tree is such that
cutting off the ends of the branches only makes the tree better for the next
year. |

Mrs. E. F. Rose has
begun harvesting the cocoons her silkworms have made. The oakbrush, that is
placed on the shelves for the worms to fasten their cocoons to, is literally
covered with these rich yellow balls of silk, which present a beautiful
appearance. The brush is placed on shelves four by twelve feet, five shelves
to each scaffold. There are five of these scaffolds. The worms were hatched out
on the 18th of May and had practically all wound their little balls of yarn
on July 9th. So it will be seen that the silk making season like the honey
season is short. |

DIED - September 28th.,
at the home of her daughter; in Savannah, N.Y., Mrs. Fanny Rose, aged 70
years. The sad news as above was received here Monday morning, and though it
was known for some days that she was critically ill; yet the blow came as it
always does with a crushing suddenness. Fanny Douglas was born in Savannah,
where she died, April 27th., 1832, and was married to Asa J. Rose in 1851.
After the war of the rebellion, through which the husband and father served
with honor, while the patriotic mother cared for the little ones without a
murmur, they moved west and in 1881 located in this village, where they have
ever held prominent place in society and in the affections of our citizens
until the death of Mr. Rose, in 1897. Since that time Mrs. Rose has divided
her home life between the children here and those in New York. A number of
years ago an accident rendered her unable to continue the full social life of
the past, but the love of her many friends tendered her such kind attention
as made her last years pleasant, even with the intense physical suffering at
times endured. She leaves two brothers, and two sisters, and her children, F.
B. Rose, of South Butler, N.Y.; Mrs. Ida Evans, of Oakland, Cal.; Mrs.
Jeannette Woodworth, Grayling; Mrs. Katharine Evans, Savannah, N.Y., and Fred
G. Rose, Waynesburg, Pa. Her body was brought home yesterday, accompanied by
F. G. Rose and Mrs. Katharine Evans, and will be laid beside her husband in
our cemetery this afternoon, the funeral services being held at 2 o'clock.
"Not dead but entered into life! The warfare past, the victory won; Oh
friends who lover her, try to say 'Dear Father may Thy will be She lives, she
lives forever." (done,') |

Mansfield's New
Postmaster. Ex-County Commissioner Thomas H. Bailey received his commission
as Postmaster at Mansfield last Thursday evening and he took possession of
the postoffice on Friday morning. The contest over Mr. Bailey's appointment
has been continued since midwinter and it has engendered which will be
lasting in that community. After his recommendation there was a "hold
up" on every turn, and two P.O. Inspectors were sent to investigate the
case pending the issuing of the commission. Their report was evidently not
such as to stop the regular order and Mr. Bailey is now properly commissioned
for four years. There is a sensational report about an altercation and
personal encounter between Mr. Bailey and the retiring Postmaster on Friday
morning over the possession of the case and other furniture. Not having the
facts at hand, we are unable to give details of the affair or its final
adjustment. Anyway, Postmaster Bailey is in charge of the office and we
assume that Mansfielders are getting their mail as usual. It was the most
bitter postoffice feud ever know in the county. |

DRAGGING FOR BODY -
FRANKLIN BAILEY SUICIDED IN MUD LAKE SUNDAY - Independence Township Farmer
Recently released from Asylum Committed Suicide - Franklin Bailey, who was
discharged from the E.M.A. some time ago, committed suicide by drowning
himself in Mud Lake, Independence township, Sunday afternoon. Bailey was
confined in the asylum for several years and although not entirely cured when
taken out, his wife persuaded the authorities to release him, although they protested
against doing so for some time. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, Bailey left
his home, which is located in northeast Independence. He said nothing to any
of the family and it was some time before he was missed. His tracks were
traced to Mud Lake, a small body of water close to the Bailey farm, which has
a depth of from 20 to 30 feet. When his so reached the lake, he saw a boat
afloat on the water, but saw nothing of his father. The boat, which was
ordinarily moored on the east side of the lake, had drifted to the west side.
Monday a large force of men dredged the lake, but were unsuccessful. Bailey
was about 50 years of age and leaves a wife and family. |

Ballard-Hillis. An
interesting social event eagerly looked forward to by the many friends of the
contracting parties, was the marriage of Miss Jessie Elizabeth Hillis,
youngest daughter of Mrs. Jerusha Hillis to Mr. Oscar Burr Ballard, eldest
son of Mr. and Mrs. L. J. Ballard and a member of the well known firm of
Dewitt, Ballard and Handran, at the home of the bride on Tuesday evening
last, in the presence of immediate friends only, but followed by a large
reception. The parlor in which the ceremony was performed was tastefully
decorated with cut and potte flowers, pink and white carnations predominated
in the dining room, the same being the color scheme. Promptly at six o'clock
the bride, leaning on the arm of the groom, entered, handsomely gowned and
carrying a large bouquet of bride's roses tied with white liberty silk. They
were precede by their friends Miss Nettie Bowen and Dr. L. E. Whitmer, of
Newport, and the officiating clergyman, Rev. E. P. Morse of the First
Presbyterian church. The ceremony was carrie dout with marked simplicity in
acquiescence with the bride's wishes. After the ceremony and congratulations
the party sat down to a collation, the nature of which can be imagined when
known it was served by "St. Paul's guild" in their usual tasteful
menu. At eight o'clock the guests began to arrive and were received at the
door by little Misses Lucille Besley and Barbara Johnston, and in the parlor
by the receiving party, afterwards they also repaired to the dining room to
partake of refreshments, the color scheme, pink and white, being carried out
as far as possible, and then up stairs to a room respendent with an array of
presents, some of which were not only beautiful but of a costly nature, and
bore testimony to the love and esteem of their large circle of friends. The
list included a dining set, china cabinet, cut glass, silverware, napery,
vases, candelabra, etc. |

FOUND NO FOUL PLAY -
OFFICERS INVESTIGATED THE DEATH OF FRANKLIN BAILEY. - BODY IN MUD LAKE - SUCH
IS THE BELIEF OF THE OFFICERS. Rumors of Foul Play Were Not Substantiated by
the Evidence in the Case. - Prosecuting Atorney Rockwell and Sheriff Brewster
went to the home of Franklin Bailey northeast of Clarkston village to
ivestigate the probable cause and manner of the death of Franklin Bailey who
disappeared from his home Sunday, April 19. It is supposed he is dead from
the fact that a broad felt hat which he wore, was found in shallow water i
the little lake a few rods from the Bailey home. This week rumors have arisen
to the effect that the alleged drowning of Bailey was heralded for a purpose
and that there were circumstances which pointed to foul play. With such
rumors afloat the officers deemed it their duty to investigate. So far as
they were able to learn there was nothing suspicious regarding the
disappearance of Bailey and they are of the opinion that his body still lies
at the bottom of the lake. They offer in support of this that Bailey was
weakened by illness and was exceedingly thin and that the water of the lake
is unusually cold. It is argued that decomposition has not yet taken place sufficiently
to form the necessary gases which will cause the body to rise to the surface
of the lake. The Sunday afternoon that Bailey disappeared his wife and son
were sick. The wife was in bed down stairs and Bailey had been with her.
Looking out upon the lake he suggested the pleasure of a boat ride and
expressed the wish that she would soon recover so that they might ride
together. The wife fell asleep and slept over an hour. A son upstairs also
slept. When they awoke they found that Bailey had disappeared. His tracks led
to the lake. He had evidently left the house in his shirt sleeves and
slippers. The finding of the hat in the lake and an old boat drifting almost
to the opposite shore substantiated the theory that Bailey had rowed out onn
the lake and had fallen in. |

REMOVES ALL DOUBT -
FOUL PLAY STORY PUNCTURED THIS MORNING. - Body of Franklin Bailey Drowned
Apr. 19, Comes to Surface of Little Mud Lake. - The body of Franklin Bailey
came to the surface of Little Mud Lake in Independence township this morning,
therby putting an end to all rumors of foul play which have been circulated
durinng the past few days. The theories advanced in the Press of Thursday
seem to have been true the body simply having remained under water util such time
as decomposition had advanced sufficiently to generate enough gas to send the
body to the surface. Bailey disappeared from his home Sunday afternoon, April
19 while the family were asleep. The disppearance was noted within an hour
and all manner of search was made to locate Bailey. His tracks led to the
lake and the finding of a hat which he wore some days afterward confirmed the
suspicion that he had either committed suicide or had fallen from the boat in
which he had evidently gone for a row on the lake. When the body was found
Dr. J. W. Fox of Orion, coroner, was summoned. He impannelled a jury and an
inquest will be held. A party of searchers from this city went to the lake
this morning where it was proposed to drag the lake again i the hope of recovering
the body. While they were making preparations to begin work the body came to
the surface almost in the center of the lake. |

DID NOT DROWN -
FRANKLIN BAILEY'S DEATH WAS DUE TO HEART FAILURE. - Coroner's Jury Decided
that Bailey Was Dead Before he Struck the Water. - The coroner's jury in the
inquest as to the cause of the death of Franklin Bailey, met at Orion
Wednesday and decided that Bailey died of heart failure. Dr. J. W. Fox was
the coroner in the case. He made a post mortem examination and stated
unhesitatingly that death was due to heart disease and that Bailey had not
drowned as was supposed. It will be recalled that Bailey, who lived north and
east of Clarkston, in Independece township, left home on Sunday, April 19. He
had but recently returned from the asylum here, and was in very poor health.
His family kept constant watch of and he was not supposed to leave the house
without a companion. While the family slept Bailey slipped out of the house
and went rowing o the lake, a few rods distant from the house. His heart was
weak and it is supposed the exertion of rowing the boat was too much. He fell
into the lake but was evidently dead before he struck the water as no water
was found in his lungs. The body came to the surface of the lake on Friday of
last week just as a party of searchers were preparing to drag the lake. The
jury rendered a verdict that death was caused by heart failure. |

DIED IN BATH TUB - SAD
END OF MRS. FRANCESE HODGES IN DETROIT. Divorced wife of S. G. Hodges
formerly Moved in the Best Society of This City. Mrs. Francese Freligh Hodges
who formerly moved in good society died suddenly of heart failure Monday
night in the rooming house of a doubtful reputation run by Mrs. Fox at 155
Wayne street, where she had been employed for six weeks as a seamstress at $5
a week. At about 6 o'clock in the evening she went to the bathroom and an
hour later was found dead in the bathtub. The cause was heart failure. The
sad circumstances under which Mrs. Hodges struggled at the close of her life
will be a great surprise to her many former friends. The Hodges family in
Pontiac has been for generations leaders of the city's social and business
world. The old Hodges House now the oldest building in Pontiac which in its
day has sheltered many famous characters was owned and run by the grandmother
of the husband of the deceased. At the house where Mrs. Hodges was earning
her living as a seamstress at $5 a week, they knew but little of her except
they were greatly impressed by her education and refinement. Coroner Hoffman
has ordered an autopsy. Mrs. Hodges was born in New Orleans about 49 years
ago and came north with the Freligh family. When a young girl she became
acquainted with Schuyler G. Hodges of Pontiac and was married to him at the
age of 21 years. Later her husband moved to Detroit and was in the real
estate business with Edward Coulter. They lived at 40 Charlotte avenue, a
fashionable boarding house and her husband was owner with Homer Warren of the
yacht Caprice and the family quite a devotee of the social whirl. Mrs. henry
Perkins, wife of the Grand Rapids millionaire capitalist was entertained by
her. Mrs. Hodges traveled considerably and her life appeared to be a very
happy one until domestic difficulties arose. She sued her husband for a
divorce and secured it seven years ago. Since then she has been living with
her daughter, Miss Helen M. Hodges. |

Neb., of Mrs. Ellen Bailey Williams, one of the best known and most highly
esteemed residents of this boro. Mrs. Williams had long been a sufferer of

year. She was a daughter, by a second wife, of Roswell Bailey, a native of
Vermont, who came to Tioga county about 1802, locating in Tioga township and
eight years removing to what is now known as Dartt Settlement, in Charleston
township where Mrs. Williams was born. her father was killed in a runaway
accident, oct. 24th, 1840. She is survived by a large number of nephews and
nieces. Since the death of her husband Mrs. Williams has traveled
extensively, visiting Europe and the principal points of interest in America.
She was a good woman, giving cheerfully and liberally to aid good causes, and
was ever mindful of the necessities of those less fortunate than herself with
respect to this world's goods. |

his behalf. Mr. Pepper has many qualifications for the position. He speaks
and writes Spanish, which is the language of nearly all the South American
republics. He is also more or less familiar with South American people. Only
a few months ago he returned from a long trip of observation through several
of those countries, made in the interest of the proposed intercontinental
railroad. He was one of the delegates from this country to the last congress
of the American republics, held at the City of Mexico a couple of years ago.
This afforded him additional opportunnity for becoming acquainted with
prominent men from the far south. Another, whose name has not been made
public, has been considered for the appointment, and the outcome is not yet
certain. |

effect that he was to be the future President of the United States. The
President laughed heartily as he acknowledged the prophecy. Mrs. Charles M.

DIED - At his home in
this village, Wednesday Nov. 1st Wm. M. Woodworth M.D., aged 76 years. The
deceased was born at Pompey Hill, Onandaga Co., N.Y. in 1829, where his young
life was passed until his graduation from the Academy at Elbridge, when he
continued his studies at the University of Michigan, graduating from the
medical department, with high honor, in 1853, since when his life has been
devoted to his chosen profession. A close observer, and a thorough student,
he has ever kept abreast with the times, and fully up to the wonderful
advancement in medical and surgical science, being only satisfied to hold his
position in the front rank, which he had early attained. He came to Grayling
in 1882, and is therefore one of our oldest pioneers, and probably no man in
the county had a wider acquaintance or was held in higher esteem: A man wonderfully
sensitive, and with most tender sympathy, he has ministered to the needs of
our people, regardless of self, and finding greatest joy in the relief of his
suffering fellows. A thorough christian gentleman of the old school whose
active life has been an elucidation of the principles he professed. He had
lived his life, and blessed death, though sudden, came unfeared, and he has
entered into rest. He had attended to his usual professional work on Tuesday,
feeling in usual health, and made his last call in the evening, after which,
with friends who called, and with his wife, the time until eleven o'clock was
passed in pleasing sociality. Soon after midnight he was attacked though
seeming slight, with gastritis, and a little after two raised to a sitting posture
on the bed, and fell forward to the floor. Friends were called, but life was
extinct when he was placed back upon the couch. Besides his wife and daughter
Louise he leaves his oldest son, Charles, located at Larkspur, Col., Elmer,
at Wheeling, Ill., and a daughter, Jennie, at New York, born of a former
marriage, who will receive the deepest sympathy of our whole people. |

Schuyler Gardner
Hodges, a member of one of Pontiac's oldest families and widely known in
Detroit, where his wife has been living for several weeks, blew his head off
with a shot gun in the old Hodges home at Pine Lake Friday morning. Mrs.
Hodges, who has been boarding at 85 Winder street, was notified of the
tragedy soon after. She left at noon to take charge of the body. It is
presumed Hodges was temporarily insane from melancholia. For three weeks he
had been under the care of a physician. Mrs. Hodges says she knew her husband
was worried but had no idea he was in a state bordering on insanity. "He
had had trouble over the settlement of his mother's estate," said she,
"and I think it preyed on his mind." Mrs. Hodges was anxious to have
it made clear that she and her husband had had no differences. He had been
living at Pine Lake for a time, she said, trying to adjust the estate
question. "Mr. Hodges intended to join me in a few days," said Mrs.
Hodges. The suicide was carefully planned, according to dispatches from Pine
Lake. Hodges sat down in a chair, and resting his head against the barrel of
the shotgun contrived to pull the trigger. The top of his head was blown off
and the wall is spattered with blood and brains. Hodges was 49 years old. His
father was Ira G. Hodges, who built the old Hodges house in Pontiac, which
today is one of the city's leading hotels. His parents are both dead, and it
was over Mrs. Hodges' estate that the trouble is said to have occurred. Hodges spent his early days in Pontiac and
Pine Lake, where the family home has been in recent years. He married his
first wife in Pontiac. About 15 years ago they were divorced. One daughter,
Helen, is living in Detroit. The first Mrs. Hodges died in a rooming house in
this city a few years ago, by her own hand, it is said. The present Mrs.
Hodges was Mrs. Lizzie Avery of Detroit. |

Schuyler Gardner
Hodges, aged 49, son of the man who built the Hodges House, Pontiac, and at
one time a real estate man in Detroit, committed suicide at Pine Lake,
Oakland county, this morning by blowing off the top of his head with a
shotgun. Hodges had suffered financial reverses, and he had family troubles
also. For the past two months he had been visiting his brother, George Hodges
at Pine Lake. He was sitting alone in the dining room about 8:30 o'clock this
morning when his sister-in-law heard the report of the gun and rushed into
the room. Hodges had fallen over dead. His troubles had produced extreme
melancholia, and it is said that he was practically deranged. Hodges was
twice married. His first wife is dead. His second wife is now at 85 Winder
street, Detroit. He is survived, also, by a daughter. Mrs. Hodges was
formerly Lizzie Avery, of Cleveland, and is a sister to Fred S. Avery, manager
and proprietor of the Euclid hotel in that city. She was completely overcome
when the news of her husband's suicide was broken to her. |

Financial reverses and
domestic unhappiness overwhelmed Schuyler G. Hodges, and he killed himself with
a shotgun yesterday morning at his brother's house, at Pine Lake. The
discharge entered his head. Hodges' first wife was dead. He had been
separated for a short time from his second wife, who made her home in
Detroit, while he stayed with his brother at Pine Lake. He had brooded over
his dissatisfaction with the division of his mother's estate. Melancholia
seized his mind and blotted out the thoughts of any possible solution of his
troubles. After breakfast yesterday he sat down by the window. Left alone, he
reviewed again the items in his account of life. He summed it up. His
sister-in-law heard the report of the gun and rushed into the room. He was
dead. Hodges was 49 years old. He was the son of Ira. G. Hodges, who built
the Hodges house at Pontiac, and at one time was a real estate man in
Detroit. The news was received by Mrs. Hodges, at her boarding place, 85
Winder street, with crushing effect. She tried her best to refute the
statements made in Pontiac to the effect that the couple's married life had
not been the happiest. She said that their marriage was the result of a love
match and that they had always been happy. She told how she and Mr. Hodges
had gone to the Klondike soon after their marriage and later settled on a
ranch near Seattle. They came to Michigan when Mr. Hodges learned that his
mother was dying. They again returned to Washington and remained there until
a short time ago when matters in connection with the settlement of his
mother's estate made it necessary for them to return to Detroit. She said
that their recent separation had been merely owing to the fact that her
husband had to be at Pine Lake to assist in the settlement of the estate. She
knew that he had been under a physician's care but did not know that he was
verging on insanity. Mrs. Hodges was formerly Lizzie Avery and is a sister of
Fred S. Avery, manager and proprietor of the Euclid hotel, Cleveland. |

About 5 o'clock on
Thursday morning May 24th, Welby W. Lawrence aged 47 years a long time
resident of Roseville, killed himself by cutting his throat, following an
attack upon his wife, during which he succeeded in badly woundig her. She was
about to begin preparing breakfast for one of their daughters, when the
assault was committed. She fought fiercely to free herself from her husband's
grasp, but he cut two gashes three inches in length in her throat. Her right
hand was also badly cut between the thumb and index finger as she strove to
take from him the razor he was wielding, in an insane effort to take her
life. Dr. O. S. Nye, who lives across the street from the Lawrence home heard
the screams, and reached the scene as soon as possible. He found Lawrence
unconscious, and went at once to work to stop the flow of blood. But vital
spots had been reached by the razor blade, and in about half an hour Mr.
Lawrence passed away. Dr. Nye dressed Mrs. Lawrence's wounds and had her
removed to the home of her sister, Mrs. Anna Rose, where she is being given
every possible care. Dr. Nye says she will recover, which is one fortunate
phase of the very unfortunate affair. Mrs. Lawrence, previous to her marriage,
was Miss Vinnie Benson, and is a daughter of Elijah Benson, a prominent
Rutland farmer. Several weeks ago the county commissioners investigated
Lawrence's condition, taking him to Wellsboro for a medical examination. It
was determined that he was harmless, and he was allowed to return to his
home. Besides his widow, he is survived by eight children - Edith, Lewis,
Hobart, Mildred, Hannah, Ella and Rose, of Roseville, and Mrs. Hattie
Fullwood, of Wellsburg; his mother, one brother, Dr. Frank Lawrence, of
Washington, D.C., and four sisters - Mrs. George Baker, Mrs. Charles
Richards, Covington; Mrs. Frank Luckey, Sylvania; Mrs. Clarence Rorapaugh,

Pepper, who visited the same locality, said that on one occasion when he
occupied the only spare room in the house of a marsh resident, there arrived

room, and dined at the same table with the stranger, but he did not learn who
his distinguished friend was until the second evening after his arrival. Each
had returned with a good bag of birds, but the large man had far outclassed
Mr. Pepper as a shot, and when seated at the evening meal the host addressed
the heavy man in sportman's attire as "Mr. President." Then it was that Mr. Pepper first realized

ANDERSONVILLE MEMORIES
- Hanging of the Raiders - The Bursting Out of Providence Spring [by George
Hollands, Co. B., 101st Pa] Editor National Tribune: I was much interested in
the article written by Comrade John S. Howard, Co. K. 11th Vt., in your issue
of Aug. 23, in regard to Andersonville Prison. I wish to corroborate some of
the things he says, but like him, I am somewhat in the dark concerning some
things that have been written in reference to that notable place. I was one of
the Plymouth Pilgrims who registered at Hotel Andersonville on the 1st day of
May 1864, after a week's sojourn on the way from Tarboro, N.C., packed in box
cars like sardines in a box. In regard to the hanging of the six raiders,
Comrade Howard is right as regards the man who broke away and ran down the
hill and across the swamp in his endeavor to escape. I was standing near the
edge of the swamp on the north side watching the hanging, and just after the
six prisoners were brought in at the south gate and marched up to the
gallows, which was erected on the brink of the hill about 20 yards from the
entrance, one of the prisoners, a big, stout-looking fellow, after looking at
the gallows, and doubtless for the first time being convinced that those in
authority meant business, broke away and ran down the hill and across the
swamp. It was with difficulty that he got through the swamp, the filth being
almost knee deep. I remember clearly seeing him pull off his coat as he was
plowing his way across the swamp, and when he reached the south side he found
a gang of men ready to arrest his further progress, who marched him back to
the gallows, in spite of his entreaties to be let go. In the meantime the
other five men had been prepared for the gallows by being bound, and sacks
put over their heads. As he approached the gallows he evidently became
convinced that the trial had been a farce, and that they must all pay the
penalty for the awful crimes they had committed. When all was completed the
six men were marched up an incline plank . . . |

DR. F. H. ROSE DEAD -
Prominent Wellsboro Citizen Passed Away Very Suddenly. Was Apparently in His
Usual Health Up to the Time of His Death Saturday Evening. - Frank Hamilton
Rose, D.D.S., aged 57, one of the most prominent, respected and popular
citizens of this borough, died very suddenly of heart disease while sitting
in a chair at his home, No. 49 Pearl street, Saturday evening about 9:30
o'clock. Dr. Rose had been in his usual health up to the time of his death.
He was busy at his office all day Saturday as usual and after supper seated
himself in his favorite chair and Mrs. Rose was reading to him. He fell
asleep apparently, but it was the sleep from which there is no awakening. The
end came peacefully and without the faintest trace of suffering. Dr. Rose
inherited valvular disease of the heart from his mother, who passed away in a
similar manner many years ago. Dr. Rose was born in Roseville, Rutland
township, on August 16, 1849, and was the only son of the late Dr. Joel and
Elvira M. Stevens Rose. He was educated in the public schools of this county
and in Detroit, Michigan, whither he went with his parents in 1865. He later
studied dentistry in Elmira and in Philadelphia. locating in Wellsboro for
the practice of his profession in May 1876. He had enjoyed a successful and
lucrative practice and was considered one of the best dentists in this
region. On September 29, 1875, Dr. Rose married Miss Emma Bush, of Wellsboro,
daughter of the late isaac and Catherine Borden Bush, who survives him. One
child, Kittie, wife of Dr. Harry W. Bailey, of Patton, Cambria county, was
born to them, who also survives him. Of the three children of the late Dr.
Joel and Elvina M. Stevens Rose, only onne now survives, Miss Kittie Rose
Pepper, wife of Mr. Charles M. Pepper, of Washington, D.C. The other
daughter, Celia Rose, wife of J. H. Des Rosiers, of Detroit, died about 15
years ago. |

POLICE HOLD HUSBAND -
Mrs. Masius Found Dying, Her Throat Slashed. KNIFE CLUTCHED IN HER HAND -
Coroner Nevitt Unable to Understand Why Blood Should Be Spattered About the
Room if the Woman Committed Suicide - Husband Declares the Woman Took Her
Life. Albert G. Masius, a translator in the employ of the Department of
Agriculture, was held by the police of the Sixth precinct last night for
further investigation, by order of Coroner Nevitt, owing to the circumstances
surrounding the alleged suicide of the prisoner's wife, Rosa L. Masius, in
their rooms at 33 E street northwest, where, according to the husband's
statement, the woman cut her throat from ear to ear with a large carving
knife while he lay asleep on a bed in an adjoining room. Shortly after 5
o'clock last evening Masius rushed into the Sixth precinct police station,
which is just around the corner from his home, and announced to the officers
in charge that his wife was lying in a pool of blood in their room, having
attempted suicide by cutting her throat. Capt. Byrnes, Lieut. Hodgers, and
several patrolmen accompanied Masius to his rooms, an ambulance call having
been sent to the Casualty Hospital in the meantime. They discovered Mrs.
Masius on the floor of the rear room, but partly dressed, blood gushing from
a gaping wound in her neck, and a large bone-handled carving knife clutched
tightly in her right hand. It was seen that the woman was still alive, and Dr.
Beltzell, of the Casualty Hospital, immediately attempted to stop the flow of
blood, but without success. Mrs. Masius died about twenty minutes after the
arrival of the police and ambulance. The blood bespattered walss indicated
that the woman had wandered about the room before falling unconscious to the
floor. Coroner Nevitt was notified, and being unable to clearly understand
the situation he ordered that Masius be held for further investigation. It is
the intention of Coroner Nevitt to make a more thorough examination of the
Masius rooms this morning.whether an |

A YOUTHFUL HEROINE -
Eleven-Year-Old Edith Smith Saved Sister From Burning House. Narrow Escape of
Children Alone in a Delmar Dwelling While Parents Were in Town. - Edith, the
11-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Almon Smith, of Delmar, saved her
sleeping baby sister from death last Saturday morning about 11 o'clock, when
the Smith home, on the Dantz run road, route, No. 7, was burned to the ground
with its contents. Mr. and Mrs. Smith were in Wellsboro shopping, and left
their children at home, Edith being the oldest, and the baby girl, less than
one year old, the youngest. Shortly before 11 o'clock the children started a
fire to prepare dinner in the stove in the summer kitchen which is connected
to the chimney by a pipe that goes through a partition. This pipe, it is
thought, became overheated and caused the fire, as the chimney was double
bricked and perfectly sound. But when the house caught fire there was nobody
in the kitchen and the house was beyond saving when the blaze was discovered.
The baby was asleep upstairs and it was with difficulty that Edith groped her
way through the dense smoke and succeeded in rescuing the little one. Mr. and
Mrs. Smith, when they heard that their home was in flames, hired an
automobile and started for home but the "bubble" broke near the
Henry Smith farm and Mr. Smith took them on with his team, the auto being
"down and out" for the time being. The home was completely
destroyed with all its contents, including a new $400 piano. Mr. Smith had
$650 insurance on the house, but nothing on the contents. His loss is easily
$2,000. He bought the farm about a year ago of Mr. Eli Simmonds. The many
friends of Mr. and Mrs. Smith express sincere sympathy in their loss, and
everybody admiration for the coolness and heroism of their daughter, Edith. |

CLARINA ROSE WATSON -
On the morning of October 19 there passed peacefully into rest, from her home
in Roseville, Mrs. Clarina Rose Watson, widow of the late Daniel Watson.
Clarina Rose was born in Roseville, April 11, 1834, and was, consequently, 73
years old at the time of her death. She was married to Danile Watson
September 8, 1853. Six children were born to them, three of whom died in
1877, of diphtheria, within a period of three weeks. Another daughter,
Minnie, wife of E. E. Wood, was taken away in 1904, only two remaining, Ida
and Dee [error - should read D.E.], who remain upon the farm. A stepdaughter,
Mrs. Henry Smith, resides at Big Pond. In April, 1906, Mrs. Watson was
stricken with organic heart trouble, and during the past six months also
suffered from spinal ataxia, which was the immediate cause of her death. Mrs.
Watson was an earnest Christian woman, faithful and true in her devotion to
her Lord, and of unselfish service to those around her. Many are the lives
that have been made better, and the hearts that received encouragement as a
result of her tender ministry. She was a faithful member of the Baptist
church. The funeral was held from the home on Monday, October 21, and was
conducted by her pastor, the Rev. S. Barrett, assisted by the Rev. S. Earley,
who spoke tenderly of his association with her during many years of
acquaintance. The singing was excellend and formed a very important part of
