MADE WHOLE PIANO

Death of Man Who Did It All Himself.

HIS WORK IN MANY HOMES

Two Years Ago, at the Age of 82, Turned Out His Last Instrument

IN THE BUSINESS FIFTY YEARS

Took the Timber From the Forest andMade His First Keys From Bones of a Horse Which He Found Death and Un-buried in the Woods - A Truly Skilled Workman.

PULASKI, Jan. 8- Elijah H. Gaylord, an old resident of Pulaski, died last night at the residence of Mrs. P. C. Bettinger in Lewis street, where he had made his home for several months. He was about 85 years old. Two sons survive, Allen C. Gaylord, of Syracuse and Frederick Gaylord, whose whereabouts are unknown, he having left Pulaski at the time of the conflagration of 1881, which laid the business portion of the village in ashes.

The deceased at one time was a resident of Syracuse. He came to Pulaski when a young man, with his father, a Methodist preacher, from the New England States. For more than fifty years he had been engaged in the manufacture of pianos, and two years ago turned out his last instrument. He was a skilled workman and was probably the only one in the country who had taken the timber from the forest, converting it into piano cases,as well as constructing and adjusting the more intricate parts of an instrument, and turning out a complete piano, without assistance. Many of his pianos are in Pulaski homes.

He first engaged in the manufacture of melodeons, and the keys of his first instrument were turned out by him from the bones of a horse which he found in a piece of woods near Pulaski, where the animal from which he took the bones had been left unburied.

Mr. Gaylord was a member of Pulaski lodge, No. 415, F. and A. M., and also of the First Methodist church of Pulaski. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.

NELSON HOOPER DIED AFTER CHOPPING WOOD

Coroner Declared Apoplexy to Be the Cause of Death - Inquest Deemed Unnecessary.

PULASKI, Dec. 28.- Nelson Hooper, who resided with his son about seven miles northeast of this village, died suddenly about 1 o'clock this morning. He had been engaged in chopping wood in the woods some distance from his home, returning about 5 o'clock last night, and soon afterward was about the barn caring for the stock, when he was taken suddenly ill.

Mr. Hooper, who was about 53/63(?) years old, started for the house, became dizzy just as he reached the door, but was unable to get in. Hisson went in the door and upon finding his father there assisted him into the house and gave him home remedy at hand which seemed to temporarily relieve him, but he soon grew worse and was assisted to his bed, where he remained in a semi-conscious condition.

About midnight the son went to him and attempted to rouse him, but was
unable to do so, the old gentleman having sunk into a deep stupor. Shortly after the son went to his father and found him breathing heavily. Gasping, he suddenly expired. Coroner Leroy F. Hollis of Lacona was notified and with Dr. Fenton A. MacCallum of this village, who acted as coroner's physician, visited the Hooper homestead, and after making a thorough investigation and ascertaining the facts did not deem an inquest necessary, the coroner deeming apoplexy to be the cause of death.

SHORT LIVED TRUCE

Between Husband and Wife,After Former's Arrest.

PARR TROUBLE BREAKS OUT.

Supposed to Have Been Settled by the Main's Fair Promises.

SHE CAUSES HIS RE-ARREST.

Must Take Consequences of Alleged
Perjury in His Divorce Proceedings-Handsome Sodus School Teacher In-volved in the Marital Dissensions ofFormer Oswego Couple, it is Alleged.

Oswego, Jan. 16.- Information from Detroit this past week was that Mrs. Lottie Hammond Parr has forgiven his husband, William Parr, and that they had resumed living together again in Detroit.

Mrs. Parr went from Oswego, where she lived, to Detroit on New Years day, and swore out a warrant for the arrest of her husband on two charges of being a disorderly person in refusing to support his wife, and for perjuryin making an alleged false affidavit to his complaint in a divorce 
proceedings which he had commenced. Parr was arrested after considerable trouble and was locked up at police headquarters.

It seems that Parr was able to persuade her that he had no affection for a Sodus young woman, who, it was claimed, had followed him to Detroit and who, it was said, was to be held as a witness, and Mrs. Parr forgave her husband and returned to him.

But, according to a dispatch from Detroit, she has again had Parr arrested and he is now awaiting the result of the charge of perjury made againsthim.

A Sodus School Teacher.

The Sodus woman's name is given as Miss Margaret Clark and she is said to have been a school teacher and to be handsome and well connected.

She was taken to the Detroit police station at the time of Parr's first arrest and wept copiously over her predicament, asserting that she thought Parr had ben divorced.

After Mr. and Mrs. Parr had lived together a few days he suddenly left her
again and started divorce proceedings. In his bill he charged Mrs. Parr
with infidelity and other wrong doings. He also swore that he had been a resident of Michigan for two years. For making this statement he is charged with perjury. Mrs. Parr claiming that he never lived in the State before coming here last June. He is said by the police to have admitted that his charge of infidelity is groundless.

Fatal Accident to a Carpenter.

OSWEGO, Jan. 16.- William Taylor, a carpenter, 55 years old, was instantly killed at the plant of the Oil Well Supply company yesterday afternoon. He was in the employ of A. H. Smith, the contractor, and Foreman Rhodes had sent him up to tighten some bolts on the horizontal shafting. In some manner his clothing was caught and he was whirled about the shaft and killed. He was a widower, without family, and boarded in East Second street. He came to this city from Quebec about thirty-five years ago and it is not known that he has any relatives living.

FOUGHT FOR LIFE Wife Attacked at Midnight by Maniac Husband

SAID HE WOULD KILL HER

After Desperate Battle the Woman Got Advantage and Tried to Escape

PLUNGED THROUGH A DOOR

In Bare Feet and Nightdress, Waded Through Snow to a Neighbor's, a Quar-ter of a Mile, and Sought Protection-Cayuga Farmhouse Nearly Furnished aTragedy

OSWEGO, Jan. 2.- Thomas Hickey, 46 years old, has been sent from his home near North Sterling to the Willard hospital at Ovid, where he will be treated for insanity. Mr. Hickey is a prosperous farmer. Last spring physicians advised his wife to have him sent away for treatment, but she declined to do so.

Desperate Encounter.

At about 11 o'clock Christmas night, after they had gone to bed, Mrs. Hickey was a awakened by her husband grasping her by the throat and beating her over the head with his first (sic), declaring that he would kill her. He is a large, strong man, and Mrs. Hickey is also large and strong. She grappled with her husband and overcame him, but again he attacked her and succeeded in getting his hands on her throat and was choking her when, by a superhuman effort, she threw him to the floor, his head striking in such a way as to render him partly unconscious.

Escape Through Snow.

Mrs. Hickey picked her husband up and placed him on the bed, and started
to make her escape, but found her way barred by a screen door, through which she plunged and ran across lots through the snow to the house of Irwin Smith, a quarter of a mile away. She was in her bare feet and nigh tclothes. She was given shelter for the night, and the next day Hickey was examined by doctors, who declared him insane.

PENSION MONEY.

Property Bought With it Exempt FromExecution on Bail Bond.

OSWEGO, Jan. 2.- Justice Wright has handed down a decision which will be interesting to every owner of property purchased with pension money to
they effect that such property is exempt from execution, even when the owner has pledged it by signing his name to a bail bond.

The decision grew out of the action of the county of Oswego against James King, a veteran of the Mexican and Civil wars, and who is now 80 years old, to recover the sum of $1,624.00.

William T. Mullin was convicted of assault in the second degree and sentenced to serve four years in the State prison, at Auburn. Stay of sentence was secured on a certificate of reasonable doubt and Mullin was brought back to this city, but his ____ surrendered him and he was locked
up in the county jail. His attorney succeeded in getting a new bond executed by three persons, among whom was King.

The Appellate division rendered a decision denying a motion for a new trial and before Mullin could be taken into custody he ran away and went to Niagara Falls, Canada, where he now is. A demand was made for collection of the bond and Mr. King, through his attorneys, Cullen & Davis, set up that this property had been purchased with pension money and was exempt from execution. A judgment was ordered against Mr. King and the Sheriff was about to levy on the property and sell it when he was served with a temporary injunction granted by Justice Merwin restraining the sale. The action to make the injunction permanent was tried in Special term before Justice Wright and this week he handed down a decision making the temporary injunction permanent.

Oswego, Jan. 2.- The impression here among people who knew Frank White, alias Harry Howard, the Oswego county murderer, who was electrocuted at Auburn State prison on Tuesday morning last for the murder of George Clare September 15th, 1901, is that he has paid a just debt to the law.

Since the electrocution there are several persons in this city who are breathing easier. White had declared that should he gain his freedom he would kill Edward Mathews, an Oswego liveryman; William Kehoe, wholesale meat dealer, and Under Sheriff John Dennis.

White tried to brain Mathews with an iron shovel when he was at work in the livery barn. Mathew saw White abusing one of the horses, striking it on the head with a curry comb, and spoke to him about it. White flew into a rage and, grabbing a shovel, swung it over his head to strike Mathews. The shovel struck a rafter and gave Mathews a chance to save himself by knocking White down. For this White vowed to have vengeance.

White was employed by William Kehoe on his farm in the town of Scriba. He and White had trouble, and for the thrashing that the negro got he had it in for Mr. Kehoe.

White blamed Under Sheriff John Dennis for his conviction. It was Mr. Dennis who got White to make a full confession of the crime and then went on the stand as a witness for the People.

Doctor Mansfield, Sheriff Cook, C. B. Burch and Assistant District Attorney H. Louis Wallace of this city witnessed the execution of White. Doctor Mansfield assisted at the post-mortem examination. He says that White was in perfect physical condition and that there was nothing to indicate that he was in the least insane. He said that the brain was perfectly developed, with the exception of the gray matter, which was scarce. He said that the brain resembled that of a sheep more than of a human being.

SEARCH FOR SISTER

Separation at Orphan Asylum NearlyThirty Years Ago.

OSWEGO, Jan. 2.- Mrs. Sarah Babcock of Altmar, Oswego county, is trying to find her sister, Ella Shears, who was taken from the Oswego Orphan asylum, when a child, in 1877.

The sisters lived with their uncle, Edward Miner, until he lost his arm
while at work in a sawmill, when, being unable to care for them, he placed them in the asylum. The missing sister was then about 3 years old. The one who is now Mrs. Babcock was first taken away, and after a few years she wrote to the asylum, but the only information she received was that Ella had been taken out by a farmer, who desired to bring her up as his own daughter and did not wish any of her friends to know her address. Mrs. Babcock has kept the search up at intervals since, but without success.

The records at the asylum show that Ella and Sarah Shears were received in January, 1872, and Ella was taken away in May, 1877. Any information would be gladly received by Mrs. Babcock at Altmar.

PETTINGILL IS MISSING.

Central Square Newspaper Publisher
Cannot Be Found.

Pulaski, July 16.- Another Oswego county man has suddenly disappeared, and strangely, too. This time it is George I. Pettingill, a printer, a former
resident of Pulaski, and who more than a year ago left here with his wife,
who is a daughter of Emmett Lewis of Parish, going to Central Square,
where they took charge of the plant of the Central Square News, a weekly
publication. Both Pettingill and his wife were for some time employed in
the Pulaski Democrat office. As the story goes, the couple a little more
than a week ago, according to a telephone message received by a reporter
for this paper, left Central Square on a visit, Mrs. Pettingill going to
the home of her parents and Mr. Pettingill visited his parents in Mexico.
Soon after he returned to the Square, not finding his wife at home, as he
expected, he left for Syracuse and while in that city went to the naval
recruiting station and made application for enlistment, but was rejected,
so it is learned, because his avoirdupois was not sufficient. Since that
time all trace of the missing printer-editor has been lost. It is reported
that Pettingill, soon after his marriage, absented himself for awhile
without any explanation. He was about 22 years old.

The plant at Central Square is owned by William H. Vrooman, it is
understood, who is now in charge.
