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.

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.

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.

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.

A DOOR
In Bare Feet
and Nightdress, Waded Through Snow to a Neighbor's, a Quar-ter of a Mile,

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.

Fulton,
June 8.- Edna, the 13-year-old daughter of Deputy Sheriff and Mrs.
John W. Youngs, is critically ill at the home of her parents in North
First street
as the result of injuries received in a fall yesterday
afternoon.
Mr. Youngs was working a short distance from his home and his
little girl
was playing near him, when he requested Edna to go to the
house on an
errand. The little girl started on a run and when she came to
a low fence
started to leap over it as she had often done. Her foot caught
and she was
thrown headlong to the ground with great force. She was
carried unconscious
into the house and Dr. N. Haviland was summoned. Later Dr. Haviland called
Dr. A. L. Hall and in examination revealed the fact
that one rib
was broken and a rupture of the kidneys was caused.
The little
girl is in great pain. However, the physicians hope to save
her life.

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.
