For the second time in a few days the New York Central station in Canandaigua
caught fire, Saturday. Passengers in the waiting room noticed smoke
arising from the boards of the floor and notified railroad employees who
promptly entered the cellar, where they found a small fire. The origin of
the fire was not known, but it is said some partly burned matches were found in
the basement, which led the railroad men to believe that fire may have been on
incendiary origin.

Hospital
Donald
GALVIN, who gave his age as 33 years and his home as Garson street,
Buffalo, is in the Memorial hospital with deep cuts in his forehead and one
arm. He is also constantly guarded by a Deputy Sheriff. GALVIN
received his injuries Friday night in East Bloomfield, when his car
smashed into the car of George ALGER of Honeoye,
who was accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Violet ALGER.
Neither person in the ALGER car was hurt and their
car only slightly damaged, but GALVIN'S car was
demolished.
State
Troopers FOX and MENZEL, who soon appeared at the scene, apprehended GALVIN
for driving while intoxicated. They then searched his car and found, it is
reported, 120 pints and 12 quarts of intoxicating liquor in cases marked
Canadian Whiskey. They also found a set of Massachusetts motor
license plates in the car, and are investigating to see if that discovery is of
any significance. GALVIN was brought to the
hospital by the troopers.
The gash
in GALVIN'S head was seven inches in length and in
his arm, four inches. Before being brought to the hospital he was taken by
the troopers to Dr. H. W. REILLY at East
Bloomfield, who dressed the injuries.

Many Hurt
in Auto Accidents - Over Weekend - Sunday Afternoon Rains made Roads Slippery
- Eleven people were hurt in automobile accidents in this vicinity over
the weekend. A slow falling rain Sunday afternoon made the roads slippery
and this doubtless contributed greatly to the increase of accidents over the
usual number for a like period.
Mrs.
Charles FREED, Fort Hill avenue, received cuts and bruises about the head
and face and shock; her daughter, Miss Lillian, received
lesser cuts and bruises and Mrs. FREED'S brother, Benjamin
MOORE, was bruised when the car Mr. MOORE was
driving with them as passengers, overturned Sunday night on Centerfield
Hill. Mr. MOORE reported he had to jam on his
brakes to avoid striking a horse drawn vehicle on which there was no light and
as a consequence, on the slippery road, his car overturned.
Mr.
and Mrs. Melvin HATHAWAY of West Bloomfield and two children, were shaken
up and bruised when the care in which they were riding, driven by Fred
HATHAWAY, was in collision with a truck owned by Salami
SALAMIE of Buffalo on the hill near Centerfield.
Fred
HATHAWAY works the KNAPP farm near that
place. It was first reported that HATHAWAY
was to blame and that he had been arrested. Knapp & Henry, who have
been retained by HATHAWAY to bring suit for damages
against SALAMIE, state that SALAMIE'S
truck had been backed part way down the hill and left in the road in such
a way that HATHAWAY coming over the hill, could not
avoid striking it.
Several
colored persons were injured and received treatment after the car in which they
were riding was in collision with another car, on the Palmyra road, Saturday
night.

JUDSON H. PRATT MURDERED IN N. Y.
Was the Husband of a Canandaigua Girl
Judson H. Pratt, 28 years of age,
of Brooklyn, a son-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. Charles H. Brockelbank, Howell Street, this city, was shot and
instantly killed Saturday morning in East Fifty-Second street, New York city,
about 150 feet from a construction job, where he was to pay off some employees
of the J. H. Rhoades company, for whom he was paymaster.
The body was found about eleven o'clock in the Bronx in his car. The
investigation that followed showed that he had been shot in the head, and the
$4,700 pay roll was missing. Patrolman Daniel J. Graham,
Jr., has been arrested on the charge of committing the crime.
The story as given out by the police was in effect that Graham,
who for some time had been appointed to accompany Mr.
Pratt on his trips, had sent in word Monday that he was ill, and again
Saturday morning he had phoned in that he could not accompany Pratt.
The police allege they have witnesses who saw Graham
meet Pratt near the construction, and the
conclusion is that after shooting him, he pushed the body aside and got in the
car and drove away and that after leaving the car with the body in it in the
Bronx, he went down town and purchased a new car and drove to Coney Island
where he indulged in a night of debauchery, spending money lavishly. When
arrested in front of his home the next morning he was in an intoxicated
condition. Graham
denied he had committed the crime and said he had been to
Albany where he had secured a large legacy left by an aunt, but his parents
deny that he had an aunt in Albany.
Immediately upon
receiving word of the death of her son-in-law, Mrs.
Brockelbank left by fast train for New York. The funeral services were
held at the home of Mr. Pratt's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Carol Pratt, in Brooklyn, and the body was brought to
Canandaigua, this morning, and after services in Woodlawn chapel the remains
were interred in the cemetery.
Mr.
Pratt was a frequent visitor in Canandaigua and vicinity several years
ago, coming here to visit relatives of his mother, whose
maiden name was Hewitt, in Rushville. He was well acquainted
with the young people of the summer colonies on the east lake shore. Five
years ago he was married to Miss Margaret Brockelbank, and
they went to Brooklyn to reside. Besides his parents and his wife he is
survived by one sister.

Mrs. William S. McKechnie
In the death of Mrs. Elida Cameron
Mckechnie, which occurred suddenly at an early
hour on Monday morning, at her home on Main Street North, there passed from
this city one of those true gentlewomen of the old school, for which
Canandaigua has long been noted. The immediate cause of death was heart
trouble.
She was born in Palmyra on January 9, 1855, and was a daughter of
the late Andrew and Eunice Cameron McKechnie. She
was a student at the then famous institution of learning, the Ontario Female
Seminary, and afterward married a cousin, William S.
McKechnie, and came to reside in Canandaigua in the house on Main
Street North, which for fifty years has been her home.
For the last fifteen years she has been an invalid, bearing the
consequent suffering and deprivation with a patience,
serenity and
fortitude that won the admiration of all who knew her.
An exceptionally lovely and loving character, her life exerted a
beneficent influence on all with whom she came in contact. Though of late
years her increasing infirmities prevented her attendance at its services, her
devotion and allegiance to St. John's Church never wavered, and her interest
in all its activities was unfailing. Her generous gifts to the philanthropic
organizations of the city were many and her kindness in individual cases of
need will long be remembered by the recipients.
She leaves one brother, Stuart C.
McKechnie, who has lived with her for the past
twenty-five years.
The funeral will be held at the home this afternoon, the Rev.
H.
L. Gaylord officiating. The burial will be in Woodlawn Cemetery.
Bearers will be George T. Thompson, Browning Crowell,
Charles M. Finley, Edward
Sick, Marion I. Case, and William Curtice.
