The body of a female found in a mill race at Rochester, and has been identified as that of Rosana McGukan of that city. A man named Thomas Skuse has been arrested on charge of compassing her death. The woman disappeared on the 4th of Cemeber last, but in a city like Rochester, where such things are common, of course it created no excitement. Skuse was intimate with her and was seen in her company previous to her disappearance.

A new Rochester mystery is now occupying the attention of the citizens, to the dame of the murderer Ira Stout. The body of a Mrs McGuckan has been found in the river, and a man named Skuse is susspected of knowing something of her death. They appear, according to the Rochester papers, to be a nice set. Mrs McGuckan left her husband at Brockport, and had been "straying round" somewhat promiscuously with Skuse and others in Rochester. Skuse was the last preson seen with her in life. He denies all knowledge of her fate, and it seems likely that she got drunk, fell into the water and was drowned.

A Terrific Thunder Shower.— This vicinity was visited last night by a terrific thunder shower of several hours' duration. Rain fell in great quanitites, and the rail of thunder and vivid dashes of lightning were quite too sublime for persons of weak nerves. Wheather any permanent injury to crops was done we are not aware, though considerable heavy grain was ?ed. About two miles east of Emerald Grove the house of a widow woman by the name of Skuse, was struck, and her three children considerably injured. Her eldest daughter, a child of ten years, it is though ?? survive. The other two, aged respectively eight and five years, are likely to recover. The bed they were sleeping was set on fire, but the mother extinguised the flames before she called assistance from the neighbors.

Boy Drowned
Yesterday afternoon a sad accident occurred at Athens, resulting in the drowning of a son of Mr. N Scouse, aged about eleven years. It appears that young Scouse, with several other boys went to the Swallow Rock, about five o'clock, for the purpose of bathing. None of them could swim, and the unfortunate lad was drawn beyond his depth by the steamboat Union, which was passing and before assistance could reach him, was drowned. Mr. Warren Howland, Agent of the Knickerbocker Ice Co, and Mr. Avery, the Assistant Agent, were quickly on the spot, and commenced diving for the drowned boy, and continued it, without success, for about an hour. The body was recovered by means of grappling irons, in charge of Mr. Pater Taylor, at half past six last evening.

The Skuce Accident—Saturday we noticed briefly an accident which occurred near Newark, Wayne county, the previous evening, to John, son of Richard Skuse, who resides in Ontario street. It appears that the lad fell from a car in a train, about a mile this side of Newark, and had his right arm and leg crushed by the wheels of the cars. The accident was unnoticed by any one on the train, and the suffered laid in the ditch by the side of the track until morning, when he was removed to Newark and physicians called to attend him. Finding that amputation of the limbs would be necessary, he was brought to the house of his father and the operation there performed by Drs Bennett and Peer. His left leg was broken just above the knee. Yesterday the lad was doing as well as could be expected aster sustaining such terrible injuries. He was on his way to Syracuse at the time in search of work. His departure was unknown to his friends.

Rochester Union and Advertiser
May 5, 1870

The Skuse Accident.—Editors Rochester Union: An article in your paper of the 2d inst., relating to the accident to John Skuse, is calculated to convey a false impression. The facts are these: John, with a comrade, were stealling a ride on a freight train, (passing Newark between 9 and 10pm) and intended going to Clyde and return on an emigrant train reaching Rochester in the latter part of the night. The boys had chosen a Hudson River freight car which has a little platform at each end about a foot and a half wife; John occuping one of these platforms at one end of the car, and his comrade the other. A little east of East Palmyrs the train gave a sudden jerk and threw John off, the cars passing over him.
Some time between four and five o'clock in the morning he succedded in making himself heard at a house upon a hill south of the track, about eighty rods distant. Young John Frey hastended to his relief, and soon had him in his house making him as comfortable as was in the power of the whole family. Frederick Frey drive to Newark immediately, and called Dr Omeroy to attend him. Dr Pomeroy invited drs Coventry, Nutten and Bridggs to assit him in doing whatever might be found necessary.
On examination it was found necessary to remove the right leg below the knee, and left arm above the elbow. Stimulants were administered and all necessary steps taken preparatory to amputating the limbs, and at 11am the young man was in a satisfactory condition for the operation; but it was deemed best to wait for some member of the family who was expected. His brother soon arrived. Soon after a telegram was received from his father, Mr Richard Skuse, not to let the doctors cut off anything, but send the boy home. This order of course was obeyed promptly though reluctantly, knowing that the poor boy's chances for recovery would be lessened by the delay and removal. His broken and shatted limbs were carefully and tenderly wrapped up, a strecher constructed, and the boy placed upon and taken to the railroad track, when some of the railroad people kindly stopped a train and took him on, with Dr Briggs, who accompanied him, to his home, where he arrived in a much better condition than could have been expected, owing much no doubt to the Doctor's careful attendance. In conclusion, permit me to say that the doctos of Newark did not sent the young man home because they discovered that amputation was necessary (as your article would seem to imply), but because the father would not permit them to do what they feel competent to do any day and what they would have been most happy to do in this unfortunate boy's case for humanity's sake, if for no other.
C G Pomeroy
Note.—The publication of the rogegoing seems to be due to the physicians of Newark. The reported was not aware of all the facts, although what he wrote was not intended as a reflection upon the surgeons who attended the unfortunate boy at Newark. They did their duty promptly and humanely and are entitled to the tanks of the community. They would have been commended had they paid no attention to the order of the parent, who seems to have given it recklessly and without any care as to the life of his boy.

A Tough Case.—Last night a chap named Charles Skuse assaulted a man in a beer saloon in North st., and, it is claimed, stabbed him in the arm. Skuse was arrested by Policeman Garrett, whom he resisted violently, but the officer used his club on his head with sufficient power to quiet him. Skuse is a hard case and delights in getting into trouble and fighting Policement. He once struck Policeman Dukelow on the head with a stone, injuring him seriously. He was indicted for the offence, but has never been brought to trial. It is hoped that he will be put where he cannot exercise his fighting propenalties with so much freedom.

The Young Girls in the Power of Corn-Doctoring Villains.
(From the Oswego Press of Saturday)
Last Monday two men calling themselves George and Thomas Skuce arrived in this city, put up at the Fitzhugh house, and ?? ?? as "corn doctors." They were accompanied by two young girls, whom they left at the Farmer's hotel where they engaged rooms for them.
Thursday night these girls, who say they live in Auburn, and who ?? each other respectively as "Carrie" and "Mate", allege that the Skuces tried to ?? them to go to the Fitzhugh hotel, and occupy the rooms with them. The girl "Mate" refused, and the other girl, who was at first inclined to accede, finally refused. The Skuces (pretty?? ??) then got angrey, and George slapped "Mate" and handled her very roughly. She went to police station No 1 and swore out a warrant against him, but on returning to the hotel found both the men had left town to go to the dance at Minette??.
Yesterday morning Mr Stacy of the Fitzhugh house swore out a warrant against the Skuces for violation of the hotel law, alleging that they owed him $20?? for board. The warrant was put in the hands of officer Gillins, who found the men at Fulton yesterday afternnon as they were about leaving on a southward bound train. He brought them here, and this morning they settled or secured their Fithugh house bill.
Last night one of the girls applied to one of the police officers (Gillins) for protection. She said that Skuces the refused to pay their board and fare out of town, and they had nowhere to go. They were allowed to stay by the station house last night, and this morning Chief Baker notified the Clerk of the Commision of Public Charity, and he had the Skuces arrested for bringing paupers into town. They settled by paying the girls' board the the Farmer's Hotel and depositing in the Chief's hands money to transport them to thei homes in Auburn.
The girl "Carrie" is sixteen yeard old, and the other eighteen. They have not the appearance of utterly abandoned ??, and the former seems to feel quite keenly the disgrace of her situation. She had fared most severly in the affair, the fellows having seemed to have secured complete control over her. They state that they fell in with the Skuces while passing through the train in Auburn depot Monday evening.
The girl "Mate" had met them before in Auburn, and they asked the girls to go with them to Syracuse, and they would pay their fare back on the return train. Arrived in Syracurse, the Skuces refused to give them money to go back with, and they saw no way but to come to Oswego with them, they promising to give them money to return with when they arrived here. When they got here they refused them money adn the rest of the story is told above. They allege that the Skuces tried to hire them out for ?? purposes to other men while here, and that they tried the same practice with a ?? girl who was at the Farmer's Hotel, but failed in their villanous designs.
The girls furnished with through tickets to Auburn and were sent off at 12:00. They say their parents have no iden where they are, but suppose them to be visiting friends at a station between Syracuse and Auburn.

Drowned.—On Saturday last, at about one o'clock in the afternoon, two children, daughters of Peter Skuse, residing north of the Rock Island Railroad bridge, were accidently drowned. It seems that they went to the river for water as was their custom, and by some means the younger one got in. The older girl, in attempting to save her drowning sister, also perished. A jury was empaneled by Esquire Lockwood, in conformity with law and instructions form the Coroner. After hearing all evidence bearing upon the cause of death, the following verdict was returned:
We, the undersigned, a jury sown to examine into the cause of the death of the two children now lying before us, at the residence of Peter Skuse, in the city of Ottawa, county of La Salle and state of Illinois, do find that they are the daughters of Peter Skuse and Catherine Skuse, named Elizabeth Skuse, aged eleven years and eight months, and Fanny Skuse, aged four years, and that they came to their death on Saturday, August 29th, 1874, by accidental drowning in the Fox river at or near the residence of Thomas Pillion, which is above the Fox river dam and at a place where the water is at least fifteen feet deep, and at a place dangerous of acess; and that the oldest girl had been sent there by her mother to procure water, as was frequently done.

Fire
About half-past three o'clock this morning fire was discovered in a large pile of stave bolts under an open shed between the cooper shops of Ald. Skuse in Ontario street. An alarm was sounded from box 5 and the department was soon on the ground. The flames had gained a fair start and threatened to destroy all the buildings in the beighborhood, but the introduction of four large streams of water upon them from the water works stayed and finally suppressed them. One of the shops was scorched a little. The stave bolts destroyed were valued at nine hunded or one thousand dollars and it is reported that they were not insured.
The fire was doubtless the work of an incendiary, whose object was to burn the shops mentioned.

Sheriff' Rushmore's Mistake—Our new Sheriff Mr F Rushmore, was recently handed a judgment for quite a large amount to serve against Thomas Skence, of Flushing. The Sheriff levied upon two horses, and placed them on board, paying a dollar a day for their keeping. Bit it appears that those horses were used by Skence for the purpose of carting, which is his only means of earning his livelihood, and they were consequently exempt from seizure. When the Sheriff found this to be the case, he made hast to Flushing to return the horses to Skeuce, but thereafter locked his stable door, and persistently refuses to reveive them—threatening the Sheriff with a law suit.—Farmer.

River Pirates still at Work
Three of them Fired Upon this morning by officers, and one rescued from Drowning
About half-past one o'clock this morning, as Roundsmen Qugley, Beck and Skuse, of the Harbor Police, were rowing in the neighborhood of Pier 45 North River, they heard several shots fired at some one off the Jersey City docks. Suspecting that something was up, they kept rowing about until three o'clock, when they descried a boat with three men in it coming from that direction, and making for a dock near.
They hailed them and directed them to stop rowing, which they refused to do, and they were then fired upon. The men then commenced to throw into the water what they had in the boat, and one of them jumped overboard. He was left to his fate by the others and was going down for the third time, when Roundsman Skuse jumped in and saved him. He gave the name of Patrick Boyle, but refused to tell who the others were.
In the Tombs Police Court the officer asked that the prisoner be remanded for a while, as he learned on his way from the station house that a robbery had been committed on the Cunard dock about the time the firing was hard. Justic Ottertsourg remanded him to the station house. They belong to the same gang with those arrested a few days ago.

GOLDEN WEDDING - A VERY DELIGHTFUL ANNIVERSARY - Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Scott
The golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Scott was celebrated at their house on North Main street yesterday afternoon. About seventy relatives and friends were present, and the occasion was of real pleasure to all. The parlor was tastefully decorated with flowers, a floral arch, the monogram S. C. and the appropriate dates, 1827 and 1879 being parts of the decoration.
Of the ten children of the venerable couple, six were present — Mrs. Nancy Boorom and Mrs. Mary Covert, of Farmer Village, Mrs. Cornelia Page, Mrs. Catharine A. Covert, Mrs. Minerva Skuse, and Mrs. Emma Skuse, of Geneva. Those absent were Mrs. Sarah Van Houten, of Eureka, Kansas, Rev. Winfield Scott and George W. Scott, of California, and Sinclair Scott of Morgan, Kansas. It is a remarkable fact that Mr. and Mrs. Scott have lost no children.
Other relatives present were Edward Scott of Elmira, brother of Mr. Scott, Peter Covert, brother of Mrs. Scott, Hon. J. B. Thomas of Ovid, Miss Elma Scott of California, and Mrs. J. J. Covert who was the bridesmaid at the wedding half a century ago. Mr. Allen, for eight years Mrs. Scott's school teacher, was also among the company.
The exercises began with the singing of the doxology, and of the golden wedding song, written by Rev. Lewis Halsey of Farmer Village. Rev. Dr. Moore, of the Baptist church, then made a beautiful and affecting address, revealing the memories of the years gone by and expressing the wishes of all in prayers for the happy future of those whose golden anniversary was celebrated. He concluded his remarks with an original poem.
General handshaking and congratulations followed the literary exercises, after which refreshments were served. The company broke up about six o'clock, with many expressions of pleasure at the good time they had had, and with earnest wishes and prayers for the happiness and prosperity of their host and hostess, in which all who know them will heartily join.
The display of presents was very fine, and included $100 in gold from the children, nearly as much more from other relatives and friends, an elegant set of china from the grandchildren, pictures, and a number of valuable and useful articles. The occasion, rare as it is in human life, was of rare pleasure, and will long be looked back upon with interest and satisfaction.

Crushed by a Tree
Instant death of John Skuse while Chopping.
On Monday afternoon last, John Skuse, an Irishman who lived in one of the shanties near the depot, was chopping, in company with several others, on the farm of Dr J T Edwards. Mr Skuse was cutting a clump of second-growth trees, against one of which leaned an old soft maple stub. He had apparently used all proper care, having tramped the snow down so he could easily get out of the way, and had been observed to be chopping very carefully. The stub was loosened by the falling of one of the small tress, and it fell upon Mr Skuse, breaking his neck and back and crushing him to the ground a corpse. His son Peter was a short distance away and ran to his assistance, but he could not raise the tree from the body. The other choppers were called, and the body was taken out and brought home. The stub only fell a few feet, but its great weight bore the poor old fellow to the ground like a blade of grass.
Dr Edwards had cautioned him about the old stub only a few days before and he had promised to use care in felling it.
Mr Skuse was about sixty-five years old and has been a hard-working man. He appeared to be an honest and well-meaning fellow. He was poor, and had always had a large family to provide for. He had been twice married—his second wife died sometime last spring.

Sudden Death of Mrs P S Skuse of Reading
On Monday Jan 30th at 3 o'clock p.m. Mrs P. S. Skuse of Reading, dropped dead on Franklin street, directly in front of Dr J W Thompson's Drug Store. She was seen to fall by several persons, who immediately went to her assistance, and was carried, into the rear of Dr J W Thompson's Drug Store, where an examination was held by Drs Thompson, Bennett and Hughey and life was found to be extinct. After the examination she was taken to the residence of Mrs James A Drake; and her stricken family and relatives were notified of her death, and at a late hour of the afternoon she was taken to her home in Reading.
Mrs Skuse had come to the village accompanied by her daughter Addie and son Charley, and up to the time of her death, with the exception of a slight cold, was apparently in her usual health. Her maiden name was Elemnia C Drake and she was the seventh child of a family of twelve children. Her parents John and Climenia Drake were old settlers of our county and resided and reared their family on the south side of the Old County Line road, nearly a mile west of this village. Mrs Skuse was a sister of the late James A Drake of this village, and George W Drake, Mrs B L Shay and Mrs S Warren also of this place; Mrs James O'Daniels, Mrs Olvier Ellison and Mrs Daniel Skuse, of Reading; and Andrew J Drake of Buffalo.
She was truce married, her first husband being Benjamin Burgess, by whom she had one child, Marion, of Reading; as the wife of Mr P S Skuse, she leave three children, Addie, Fred and Charles.
Mrs Skuse was a remarkably energetic woman, who in addition to the love which she inspried among the members of her family and intimtate friends, was much respected by the community in which she lived, and her death at fifty-three years of age comes with greater sadness, because of the many years of usefulness, thus apparently cut short. Deceased was a member of the Presbyterian church of this villiage, and for many years had lived a conscientious christian life. Her funeral services were held at her late residence, Wednesday, February 1st, 1881, at 1 o'clock p.m. Rev Dr Waldo officiating, and the burial was at the Old County Line Cemetery.

The Detroit Free Press has caused a great ripple of excitement in that city by the disclosure of what it claims to be bogus medical college where at which "Buchanan diplomas," as it styles them, may be got. The Free Press publishes a long list of the members of faculty, and the lecturers, who go by the same "Venerand," among which it places the name of H. S. Thomas, who possess one of Dr. Buchanan's diplomas. A reporter investigated the "Detroit University of Medicine" and found the location of some of its officers to be in the upper portion of a building over a grist mill, where several offices were labeled with signs of members of the faculty. The Free Press characterized the institution as a fraud, and the result was the appearance at the office of the paper on the following day of one of the faculty, Dr. Michael Mason, "Venerand" vice-president, who captained that his title was of ??Druidie?? origin. He denounced the article of the Free Press, but was unable to tell where the college was located, beyond that it was on one of the principle streets, or to identify more than a few of his many colleagues. He stated that if there was anything wrong about the institution he would see that all objectionable features were removed. The Press still claims that the institution is intended to deceive and holds that the occupancy of the position of president by Buchanan's friend, "Thomas," whose real name is Skuce, is enough to condemn it in the eyes of all right minded people. The Free Press declares war to the knife against any fraudulent medical college that may be established there, and undoubly its efforts will be as successful and as highly applauded as were the efforts of the Philadelphia Record in breaking up the nefarious operation of Buchanan who granted Latinised certificates to ignorant applicants, giving them permission to kill patients who might be unfortunate enough to consult them.

James Skuse pleads guilty to stealing $35.00 from his Mother—Various other Items

Mrs Hannah Skuse, of 21 Prospect street, appeared at the police station early Saturday morning and complained that she had been robbed by her son, James Skuse, who was arrested last evening in an Exchange street saloon by Lieutenants Keith and Creary. He had on his person #33.45, althrough he was charged with stealing $165. It seems that while Mrs Skuse was laying on a lounge asleep the prisoner abstracted a walled from per pocket containing $165. She was aroused and attemped to hinder her son from going, but failed. In the police court this morning Skuse was charged with stealing $165, but pleaded not guilty. In answer to the question where he obtained the $35 he finally admitted that it belonged to his mother and he took it without her knowledge. Justice Wheeler held Skuse to await the action of the grand jury.

A Murderous Cyprian
She attempts the Lives of Two Men to Avenge an Insult
A woman of the town named Lizzie Skuse, better known as "Babe," who keeps a house on Kearney street near Broadway, was charged with an assault to murder at 3 o'clock yesterday morning by officer Linsky. It appears that during Saturday night she went into the saloon at the southeasy corner of Broadway and Kearny, where she met two cousins named respectively John Martin and Constance Nichols. The trio drank together a few times, when suddenly Martin accused the "Babe" of attempting to steal his watch. She immediately got angry and drew a pistol, but before she could use it, it was taken away by some hoodlum spectators. She left the place and in a few moments returned with a second pistol, and while standing in the door of the saloon fired two shots. One took effect in the left ear of Nichols and grazed his cheek. The other bullet went through the coat of Martin at the left should, but did not produce any injury. The shots attacted Linsky, who licked her up and put Nichols in the Receiving Hospital.

A New Mexico Train Robbery

Just after train No. 2 left Socorro, with J.D. Hedrick as conductor and James Skuse as engineer, and when it had gone perhaps two miles, the train stopped, but almost immediately started up again with a tremenduous jerk. After this a promiscous firing began from both sides of the track, but the train kept moving on faster and faster. All the passengers, of course got down between the seats, and it looked for a while like a prayer meeting. About 50 shots were fired. Every car in the train was hit and many of the windows broken. The conductor, who stepped out on the platform, came near being killed. One bullet passed through a sleeping-car window over the head of two ladies, and was flattened on the opposite side of the car.
The Story of the affair was told Mr. Ferguson by the engineer when they arrived at the next station. Said the engineer: "I saw ahead of me an obstruction on the right side, which consisted of a pile of stones fully twelve inches above the track. I stopped of course, and then told the fireman to get down and remove the stones. It was moonlight, so that I could see plainly. At the moment I stopped I saw three men jump from behind a clump of trees, and pointing their guns at me, they said: 'Stop! We want you. We've got you.' Quick as lightning I saw our predicament, and decided what to do. I told them. 'All right, don't shoot,' and then the the fireman, 'drop down.' I gave the throttle a jerk wide open and ropped down myself. As I jerked they fired into the cab. I didn't know whether we should jump the track or not, but I wasn't going to have my passengers robbed. The obstruction damaged the cowcatcher considerably. I saw three men on the right, two on my left and one on horseback."
The passengers, after realizing the great danger through which they had passed, and the daring but splendid presence of mind and the bracery and decision of the heroic engineer, made up a purse and presented it to him as a token of thei appreciation, and nearly all thanked him personally for risking his own life to save his passengers from the robbery. It was a spendied act, and James Skuse will go down to history as a real hero.

Thomas Skuse's One Year Old Daughter Upsets a Lighted Lamp
Thomas Skuse owns the house at 55 Garnet street, and lives in it with his wife and family. At dusk last evening Mrs Skuse lighted a lamp and put it on the table, which was covered with a cloth, and drew her 1 year-old daughter Annie, who sat in a high chair, up to the table. Mrs Skuse went to the floor above, but had hardly reached it when she heard a crash and the child scream.
She ran down stairs and found that in her absence from the room the child had upset the lamp by pulling the cloth from under it. The oil took fire and dropped from the table to the child's clothing, which was ablaze when the mother reached the room. Mrs Skuse extinguished the fire in time, and burned both her hands. Doctors Watt and Weitz were called to attend the child, and said it was so badly burned that its recovery was unlikely. The furniture was only slightly damaged, and is insured in the Phoenix Company.
The child died to-day from the effects of the burns it received.

Charlie Skuce's End
He Falls Dead on the Street in New York

Charles Skuce, a well-known Providence sporting man, dropped dead on the street in New York yesterday afternoon. Skuce has had a rather checkered career and was known either personally or by reputation by many of the residents in this city. He had always been of a somewhat wild disposition, but during the war it is said he served gallantly. After he was mustered out of service he returned to this city, and for years afterwards followed the life of a sporting man. The affair which brought him most prominently before the public was the death of John Field. Field was found on the evening of January 31st, 1883, on the stepe of the house at No 387 Fountain street, suffering from apoplexy, from which he died next day. Skuce had had some trouble with Field, and it was claimed by the prosecution, had struck him, causing the rupture of an artery, which in turn produced apoplexy. Skuce was arrested and indicted by the grand jury on March 13th. The trial opened on the 6th of April, and on the 9th he was aquitted. Since that time Skuce has spent most of his time in New York, though he occasionally visited this city, where he had a good many friends.
The relatives of Mr Skuce received word from New York last evening of his death, and his brother left on the midnight train to bring his remains to this city to-morrow night. Charles Skuce was born in Fall River and was 47 years old. He served in the Second Rhode Island Volunteers during the war and acted as a scout a portion of the time of his service.

New York Times

Charles Skuse, a native of Fall River, Mass., died suddenly yesterday of apoplexy at Broadway and Twenty-sixth-street. The body was taken to the West Thirtieth-street police station and examined by Deputy Coroner Schaler. Subsequently Assemblyman Power, of the Third District, directed an undertaker to give the remains a decent burial. The deceased's mother and sister live in Providence, R.I. Skuse was about 50 years old and a veteran of the rebellion, having enlisted in the Second Rhode Island Regiment. He was wounded at the battle of Bull Run. He did not engage in any regular business after the war.

A Sporting Man Drops Dead in Broadway
A man coming down Broadway at 7 1/2 o'clock yesterday morning fell groaning to the sidewalk in front of the St. James Hotel. He was about 45 years old, with white hair and moustache, and wore a black over-coat, wine-colored coat and waistcoast, and tripsed trousers. When Policeman Nelson, who saw him drop, reached him, he was already unconscious. He died on the sidewalk before and ambulance arrived.
The body was taken to the Thirtieth street station house. Nothing would servce for identification was found in the dead man's clothing. Deputy Coroner Schoeler decided the death resulted from apoplexy.
Later in the day Frederick A Potter of 33 East Ninth street identified the body as that of his friend, Charles Skuce of Providence, R.I. Mr Potter ordered that the body be removed to Copelan's undertaking rooms.
Skuce was a well-known sporting man in Providence. He served throughout the war, and had many friends. He was tried and acquitted in Providence in the spring of 1883 of the murder of John Field, a sporting companion, with whom he had had trouble. Field was found dead on the sidewalk in front of 387 Fountain street, and the evidence indicted that he died of apoplexy caused by the bursting of an artery in a fight with Skuce. After his acquital Skuce spent most of his time here.

Pilot Skuse blew his whistle and again there was a return signal from the Paunpeck, but her pilot had evidently miscalculated her speed, and before she could reverse her engines there was a crash, and a thousand pieces of the Patrol's paddle-box littered up the river.
...
Pilot James Bradley, who was running the ferry-boat, has made a report to his Superintendent that the pilot of the Patrol blew two signals instead of one.
Pilot Skuse denies this, and insists that the blame rests entirely with the ferry-boat pilot.

Patriots or Convicts?
These three Englishmen Left their Country for their Country's Good
J W Warren, F M Skues and Benjamin Swain, the three young Englishmen who were alleged to have been sent over here by the Prisoners' Aid Society of London to work for Samuel Nells, of Seguin, Texas, were put back on board the steamer, Veendam yesterday. They are robust young men, and each has a ticket to Seguin, besides about £3 in money.
Mr Swan, who acted as spokesman for the party, asserted that they had never been inmates of any penal or charitable institution, and that they paid their way to this country. Swain said he saw an advertisement in a London paper that able bodied men could o btain work at Seguin, Texas. He showed it to his companions and they decided to go. They had never heard of Samuel Nells, and had made no contract to work for him or any one else.
Secretary Jackson said that in his judgment the men were not contract laborers or ex-convicts, but that the special officer from the Custom House had charge of such cases. Inspector Grote said he saw the affidavits signed before Inspector Grogen and that the men had admitted the allegations.
The men themselves deny this and think that their forced return is an outrage.

An Escaped Lunatic
An escaped lunatic, who said his name was James Skuse, was captured by Officer Albert Cowdry near the old Cemetery in Gowanda on June 22. When captured he was nearly nude, having nothing but his shirt on. When asked by Officer Cowdry why he was there in that condition he said he had five friends buried in that Cemetery and he had come to make them a visit. He told the Officer afterward that he had escaped from the Asylum at Machias, on Friday morning. Supervisor F G Vinton at once telegraphed to Superintendent of the Poor, Henry Brumbull, to learn the truth of his story.
From S E Tiffany we learn that the insane man was for many years a resident of Randolph, and from that place went to Salamanca, where he had a brother, who was a section boss on the Erie Railway and from there was sent to the Machias Poor House. Mr Tiffany says his insanity is of a mild nature and while at Randolph he was looked upon as a person who lacked mental qualifications, or one who was not bright, rather than insane. Officer Cowdry is holding the unfortunate man for orders form Superindentent Trumbull.—Gowanda Herald.

While Richard Skeuse, of Flushing, who last Tuesday attended an auction sale at Jamaica, was, just before starting for home, holding his horse by the head, somebody accidentally struck the horse, and it reared high in the air, and struck at Mr Skeuse with its forefeet. One hoof, iron-shod, came down squarely on top of Mr Skeuse's head with terrible force. He was half stunned and fell, blood truckling from his mouth, nose and ears. As Mr Skeuse fell he released his hold on the bridle, and the frightened horse ran into a refreshment counter, where he ruined a large number of sandwiches, overturned a keg of beer, and destroyed a lot of dhies before being captured.

Romance of the Fete
It resulted in the Marriage Last Evening of Miss Stecher and Daniel Skuse. Every one who attended the Marie Antoinette fete at the Lyceum theater last winter will remember the Swedish dance, which was one of the particular favorites, among two the young people who led the dance were Miss Louise Marie Stecher and Daniel Augustus Skuse. Report has it that Mr Skuse has never ceased to dance. (attendance on Miss Stecher)– since the time of the fete, and the affair culminated last evening in a two-step to the altar where the young couple were united in bonds of matrimony, and will continue to dance through life together. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr and Mrs F.A. Stecher, of Resevoir avenue, by the Rev. J. Nicum at 7:30 o'clock, under a canopy of aspaagus vine, with a mound of palms stared with white flowers in the background. The maid of honor was a sister of the bride, Miss Lena Stecher, and the best man was Thomas A Killip. Miss Stecher made a charming bride, dressed in a becoming gown of white brocaded satin, simply made, the bodice trimmed in lace. Her flowers were white sweet peas. Her sister was gowned in white organdie over white silk, and she carried pink sweet peas. Meyering's orchestra hidden behind a bank of palms, rendered the wedding march from Lohengrin as the bridal party appeared, led by the usher, William Rodenbeck, which changed to a soft refrain during the ceremony.
A reception and dinner followed to about sixty guests, all members of the families of the bride and groom. The bridal table, laid for twelve, was effective with a large centerpiece of pink sweet peas, and silver candelabra with pink shades at either end. ...

Her Dress Caught Fire
An Old Woman Fatally Burned by the Explosion of a Coal-Oil Lamp.
<picture>
Mrs Kelly, aged 50 years, living at 313 Twelfth street, was fatally burned last evening. The unfortunate woman was in the act of removing a lighted coal oil lamp from a table when it exploded, the burning oil setting fire to her dress.
Unable to extinguish the flames the frenzied woman ran from the house, frantically screaming for help. Edward Curtis, a neighbor, rushed to her assistance and tor ethe burning garment from her body. Realizing that she was seriously burned Curtis telephoned to the Central Police Station for the patrol wagon. The injured woman was hurriedly drived to the Receiving Hosptial and an examination disclosed that her arms and legs were horribly burned. Drs Rumwell and Hopper did what they could for her, and then had her removed to the female ward. In explanation of the accident Mrs Kelly said she was alone in the house at the time and had just finished her Christmas dinner.
"I had removed the dishes," said she, "and started to take the lighted lamp in the front room. In taking hold of it I must have tipped it over, as it immediately exploded. The burning oil fell on my dress, and before I realized what had happened I was enveloped in flames. After vaily endevoring to free myself from the burning garment I ran from the house, screaming for help.
As I reached the sidewalk I became unconscious, but was aroused by Mr Curtis, who was furously endeavoring to tear the burning dress from my body. If it had not been for him. I believe I would hvae been burned to death.
Late last night the unfortunate woman was visited by apriest, who administered the late sacraments of the Catholic church. The hospital surgeons say that Mrs Kelly cannot possibly live.

Smash-Up at Flushing
Morning Train Wrecks a Wagon and Injures the Driver
Flushing, LY, July 18—A bad smashup occurred on Warren street railroad crossing at Flushing this morning and two men narrowly escaped being killed. A horse attached to a dirt cart belonging to Contractor Thomas Skense was passing over the crossing when the 6:30 train from Long Island City came thundering along and struck the wagon, smashing it into kindlking wood. The driver John Alec, and George Skense , who was with him, were thrown to the ground and the horse fell upon the driver. He sustained a sevee scalp wound, but Skense escaped injury. The horse was unhurt. Alec was taken to Dr Heck's office, where his wounds were dressed. The train was in charge of Conductor Baldwin and Engineer McLaren. Alec says he could not hear the approaching train on account of the rumbling of his wagon.

Trustees Liable for Physician's Services - Francis N. Skuse, who lived in Monroe County, devised and bequeathed real and personal property to four sons as executors and trustees, to be by them "managed and cared for, and from the income thereof, or so much thereof as hsall be necessary, they shall use for the support of my son Frank Skuse during his life, and the balance, if any, shall be safely invested by my executors." Frank Skuse was addicted to the use of intoxicants, and required the services of physician after his periodical debauches. The trustees paid for osme of the physician's services, but declined to pay for others, although they had been rendered with the acquiescnce of the trustee with whom Frank Skuse made him home. The trustees had in their hands unexpended income applicable to the support and maintenance of their brother Frank. A suit by the physician, Dr. James F. Sherman, against Frank Skuse for medical services, resulted in a judgment in his favor, and then, after execution was returned unsatisfied, the doctor brought a suit against the trustees to compel them to account and to pay the judgment. His complain was dismissed, but the Fourth Appellate Division, in an opion by Justice Spring, directed a reversal, holding that the trustees were liable for the physician's services.

Wild Commotion in a Tenement
Frank Skuse, His Jag and Fighting Mood Made a Great Mixup in a State Street Block.

Frank Skuse, 38 years old, married, and endowed with a large capacity for making trouble for himself and other people, has a black future, in which he may catch glimpses of four different charges against him on the police court docket, namely intoxication, disorderly acts and lanaguage, assaulting Officer Martin Snyder and mayhem. These ought to be sufficient, if the evidence prove weighty enough, to furnish Skuse with free board and lodgings with Captain Webster for several months.
The trouble which led to Skuse's arrest occurred in the famous block at No 166 State street, which is literally a human hive, where the parlor, dining-room, kitcken, bedroom and pantry are often combined in two rooms, sometimes in one, Skuse and his wife live on the second floor of the hive, and one Michael McDonald, and his wife live on the floor above. A Mrs Anna Kimball also lives on the third floor, and it was she who was the undoing of Skuse. It appears that he mounted the dingy stairs to the upper regions yesterday afternoon, piloting a much cherished jag. The jag made him ugly and he ran afoul of McDonald, whom he soon managed to engage in a hand-to-hand battle. McDonald defended himself as well as possible, and Mrs Kimball interfered to drive Skuse out of he room, her room. Skuse bit one of her fingers almost off and caused her to yell in high G from the pain.
Officer Martin Snyder, on duty on State street, heard the racket in the uppers regions and hurried to the rescue. He attempted to arrest Skuse but he resited and struck the officer on the head. Officer Snyder then placed handcuffs on the tough and sent him to the police station in the patrol wagon. Mrs Skuse and Mrs Kimball are sisters, and it is probable that there is a relatives' quarrel back of the fight.

Pinned under Car
The one most seriously injured by the accident was a young man named Charles Skuce. He was standing by the track awaiting a car, when the runaway car jumped upon him. He was pinned benneath it, and was not rescued for more than an hour, as it was necessary to raise the car by "jacks" before he could be taken out.
Villiagers turned out at once after the accident and assisted in the rescue of the passengers. When word reached the Elmwood car barn of the accident, a wrecking car leaded with workmen, and carrying Dr. D.O. King was hurried to the scene, but before its arrival, the villagers under the direction of Herbert Austing and Henry Budiong had rescued all except young Skuce, who was still beneath the car.
...
When Skuce was finally rescued, he was also taken to the hospital. He was in a dazed condition, but conscious. He had many bruises. One arm and shoulder were badly wrenched, and one hip was painfully hurt.
It was stated at the hospital today that none of the injured men is in serious condition, and that all will be able to leave the insitution in a short time.

Plunder-Laden Robber Enters Pasture and is Pursued and Held Until Arrested

Ernest Martin, professional burglar, was lodged in jail at Magee's Corners, NY, the other morning, having been captured, laden with plunder, by a savage bull on the farm of John Langdon. Martin successfully burglarized the home of William Skuse, and with his booty was making across a pasture when he was spied by the bull, which gave chase. Martin ran for the nearest tree and took refuge near the top. Several times the bull came dangerously near shaking him out of the branches, but the desperate man clung on and was only released when Farmer Langdon came to water his stock in the morning.

The carriage was overturned and Mrs. Skuse thrown down the bank. She was quite seriously bruised and the carriage was practically wrecked. A warrant was secured for the peddlers and they were arrested by Constable Brown, who took them before Justice Norton. After some delay, caused by the men sending to Rochester for counsel, they concluded to settle the matter and were allowed to do so by paying the costs and other expenses incurred, amounting to $12.

Philetus S Skuse
Philetus Swift Skuse died at his home in the town of Reading, near Irelandville, at 1 a.m. Sunday, Sept 15, 1901, after a week's illness, at the advanced age of 86 years. The funeral services were there held, Wednesday of this week, at 2 p.m. Rev L F Ruf, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Watkins, preached an appropriate discourse on the occasion. The burial was by the side of kindred in the County Line Cemetery.
The deceased was of a pioneer Ontario County family, and was born in Phelps, May 11, 1815.

Mr Skuse became a resident of the town of reading in 1859, locating first west of Irelandville where he remained three years, and then living one year in Starkey. In 1864 he purchased of C W Mathews, the farm on which all his subsequent years were passed. Previousto coming to Reading, Mr Skuse married the widow of Benhamin Burgess, and the mother of the late Marion B Burgess. Her maiden name was Elemnia C Drak, and she was a sister of the late James A Drake of Watkins. The children of Mr and Mrs Skuse were: Philetus S., who died in 1876, aged 21 years; Addie B Skuse, who has cared for her father in his declining years; Fred T Skuse and Charles Skuse, both of Reading, and Eva Skuse, who died in 1893, aged 7 years.

She Found a Home
Emma Skuce, once a Belle, sent to the State Farm

When she was younger Emma Skuce was pretty well known about the city. She was handsome then, and she had many admirers. Those were the days in which Charles Skuce, the gambler, who was tried and acquitted of murder, was her friend. But her breauty faded years ago, and she is now a broken-down woman, homeless, friendless and ready to leave the world she finds so hard, at hardly more than a half-century of life.
The State Farm comes nearer to being home to her than anywhere else. She said Wednesday that she had been there 22 times, she thought. And so, when she decided that she would struggle no longer, she thought of that haven of refuge. Before 7 o'clock she went to the Central Station and asked for Capt. Matthews.
"I'm Emma Skuce," she said. "You know me. I've got no home, and I'm tired out. I want to go out on the farm again. You can charge me with being a vagrant. I'll plead guilty. It will give me a place to stay during the winter, and I won't have to worry about where the next meal is coming from."
She sat and waiting in the room of the captain, at the left of the main entrance, until nearly court time. Then she was taken up the stairs to the room of Mrs. Tillinghast, the Police Matron, and when Judge Sweetland opened the Sixth District Court at 9 o'clock she was taken before him.
"You are charged with beingh an idle perosn, living without employment, and without visible means of support," he said.
The woman stood beside the door leading from the court room into the women's detention room. She lifted her eyes as she spoke the single word "Guilty" and then dropped them again.
"Two years at the State Workhouse," said the Judge, and the woman turned away. She had a home at last.

Peter Skuse
When Mrs Peter Skuse awoke at about 6am she found that her aged husband, Peter Skuse had passed away during the night and had evidently been dead several hours when the discovery was made. Mr Skuse was and old resident of this city. Of recent years he was employed by the city on street work. He worked last Saturday morning, but gave up on account of being sick. Since then he has been at home, but did not consider himself ill enough to summon a physician.
Among the children are Mrs Mike Carew and James Skuse, Ottawa; Richard and Peter, and Mrs Ed McGrath, Chicago, and Edward, living in the west.
The statement was made in refrence to the demise of the late Peter Skuse that he was found dead in bed by his wife yesterday morning. Thius was incorrect. Mr Skuse had been ailing since Saturday and between that time and the hour of his death he received medical aid and spiritual consolation. While his death was comparatively sudden, he having been ill but three days, the end was peaceful and was witnessed by his wife, daughter and other members of the family who surrounded him at the hour of his dissolution.

Heroic Work of the Life Saving Crew
An amusing as well as thrilling incident of the recent flood, was the resuce Saturday of Florence Sullivan, with two guests, Sir James Skuse and Whalebone Murphy, from the Sullivan residence located about an eighth of a mile below the electric light plant, on the banks of the old tail-race.
On Friday night this trio of notables went to bed in the little cottage at peace with all the world little dreaming that ere morning they would be in the center of a great lake. They are three notables indeed, and we hope none will ever meet with the fate which stared them in the face Saturday morning. Sullivan is a warrior of renow and is one of the few old boys left who followed Sherman to the sea. Sir James Skuse is also a man who fought and bled for his county, and those whose record as a man of valor is surpassed by none who worse the blue. He traces his ancestry back to that famed Irish king, Biran Borohmn, and is proud of the royal blood that courses through his veins. Whalebone Murphy comes also from blue blooded Irish stock. He gets his name from the fact that he never goes broke and is rarely ever bent.
When the water first began to enter the cottage in the early morning Sullivan remarked to his companions that they would "hold their own" and Sir James replied, "Yes sir, we will." Murphy said nothing, but looked wise. Slowly the water rose, one foot, two feet, three feet, and all three were obliged to climb on the table to keep out of the wet. Then a consultation was held and it was decided to appeal to the outside world for assistance, and for once Sullivan was obliged to admit that he could "hold his own" no longer, and Skuse said, "No sir", probably for the first time in his life. The door of the cottage was thrown open and each in turn cried aloud for assistance.
About this tinme, Miller Dickey of the Galbraith Milling Co was taking a survey of his chicken house which contained a hundred thoroughbred chickens and which was then four feet under water. He heard the cry for help and realizing the perilous situation of the three men decided that heroic measures must be taken quickly, as the water was rapidly rising. Masters Lambert Olp and Wilson Prophet were near at hand and they were drafted into the life saving crew. Three huge telephone poles found floating along in the water nearby were soon made into a strong raft by nailking boards across them and in short order the three mariners were ready to sail away. Poles in hand they started out amid the cheers of the crowd that by this time had gathered at the foot of Mill hill. Over the angry waters and over the fences sped the big raft, a strong effort being required to keep it out of the current of the tail race. Dickey took command and with the able assistance of his two mates Olp and Prophet, the raft soon reached the cottage where the water had risen to a height of five feet, and as there is not attic in the house it can readily be seen what a dangerous position the three imprisoned men were in.|
They were soon aboard, carpet bags and all, Sullivan remarking as the craft put out to sea, "We held our own, Dick", and Sir James said, "Yes sir." The trip back to the landing place was no easy task, but the sailors were cheered with encouraging words from Sullivan, Sir James and Murphy, and after an hours struggle a landing was made, and the three men, with many thanks to their rescuers, stepped once more on terra firma.
The life saving crew received three cheers and a tiger from the assembled crowd.

Ran away from Home
Two Adventuous Youths from Rochester Arrested here on Charge of Being Tramps
Patrolmen Sweeney and Hearn of the Pearl Street Station arrested Robert Skuse and Charles Wandtke, each 15 years old, yesterday afternoon on the charge of being tramps. At the station house the boys said their homes were in Rochester, and that they ran away and came to Buffalo on freight cars. Skuse said his father beat him for keeping part of his week's salary, and he thought he would run away and get a job in some city where he would not have to turn over his earnings to his parents.
The boys were arraigned before Judge Rochford this morning. The Judge turned them over the Supt. of Poor Long. He will send them back to Rochester.

Caught in Novel Theft
A bold attempt at robbery of ground wire, on the line of the electric road between Seneca Falls and Waterloo, was made and frustrated yesterday morning. Lawrence Skuse, of Waterloo, an employee of the company, missed the last car at Seneca Falls, and started to walk home. He found two men on the hill just west of Kingdom removing the wire from the rails, and returned to Seneca Falls, where he notified Mr Gray, the road superintendent. Accompanied by an officer they returned and found the thieves still at work. When within a few rode one of the robbers opened fire upon the approaching party, who returned it with vigor. Then the thieves, finding it a warm locality, disappeared. They recovered about 150 pounds of wire which lay piled up by the track, worth as junk 10 cents a pound.

The surprise was in honor of the occupancy of her new home and consisted in a shower of kitchen utensils, including tinware, enamelware and china.
Mrs Skuse's new home is located along the line of the trolley about a mile this side of Waterloo and consisted of a five-room cottage which is built on architectural lines resembling an Indian bungalow. While the construction of the cottage is Americanized to admit all the luxuries of western life, the Oriental ideas of having all of the rooms on the ground floor is carried out, as well as providing one large living room. In this room which has a heavy wooden ceiling and a spacious fire place, light refreshments were served.

Charge of Assault was Not Proven
The case of Richard Skeuse, of 13 Broadway, against Samuel Davis, colored, of Prince street, was in the Flushing Police Court today before Magistrate Smith.
Skeuse charged the defendant of assaulting him and cutting him several times with a sharp instrument in the face and neck.
The complainant was represented by Lawyer John J Trapp, and Lawyer Walter Bahan appeared for the defendant.
Skeuse was the first witness called. He testified that he and the defendant had been working in the barn of Abrew & Yager on the night of September 29. According to the testimony of the complainant, Davis had accused Skeuse of hitting his horse, and when he declared he had not touched the horse, the defendant had jumped upon him with some sharp instrument. He could not positively declare that he was struck with a knife, though a knife had been found in the barn near the sort where the fight had occured the next morning.
Valentine Mott next took the stand. He told the court that he had not seen the first part of the quarrel, but he had arrived in time to see Skeuse hit the defendant in the head with a halter, and had pulled them apart. He noticed, however, the numerous cuts on Skeuse, though no knife or other sharp instrument was visible. Mr Abrew, who witnessed part of the fight, and who employs both men, was next called and his testimony favored the defendant, the witness giving the court the impression that on the night of the quarrel Skeuse was slightly under the influence of liquor, and that he had provoked the quarrel.
Officer Wright, next on the stand, testified as to the arrest of Davis on the complaint of a negro woman, who told the officer that a man, who was either durnk or crazy, was annoying the neighbors in Prince street. At this time Officer Wright had not known of his prison's quarrel with Skeuse and was not aware of this fight until the station was reached and Skeuse made the charge of assault against Davis.
In answer to the questions of the court Officer Wright restified that Davis was under the influence of liquor and that the complainant was apparently sober.
Roundsman Schaefer, who was in the station house at the time, corroborated Officer Wright's statements.
There was, however, no direct evidence that the defendant had used a knife and Magistrate Smith discharged him.
Previous to the trial Davis was held in a bond of $500, whcih was furnished by Harry B Peace.

Diphtheria Patients Better
The little children of the late Mrs Fred T Skuse, of Irelandville, who have been seriously ill with diphteria since the death of their mother, are on the way to recory. There is also much improvement in the condition of Mrs Bert Skuse, and she expects soon to leave her bed. No new cases are reported in that neighborhood.
We are informed by residents of Irelandville that the cellar of the house occupied by Fred Skuse family has contained for several seeks a large quantity of decayed vegetables, probably 50 or 60 bushels. This probably was the cause of the disease.

Guilty of Arson his Plea
Frank Skuse Caught Firing Saloon by Policeman Ireland

Frank Skuse pleaded guilty to a charge of arson to police court yesterday morning. The maximum penalty is forty years in prison. He was held to await Grand Jury active. Skuse was caught by Patrolman Ireland yesterday morning puting fire to the saloon of Charles A Keltz, No 165 Commercial street. This is the third attempt to set fire to the place. Skuse said at headquarters that he wished to burn the place to force his wife to return to live with him.
About two weeks ago employees of the Rochester Railway Company found oil-soaked rags smouldering against the building. The first attempt to set the place was made less than six months ago, when the same course was adopted. Policeman Ireland saw Skuse as he lighted the match early yesterday morning and grabbed him. Holding him prisoner, he stamped out the flames.
The police saw Skuse had been reported by his wife, who grew tired of working for him. She left him and had since earned a living by working for Mr Keltz. Skuse, it is said, endeavored to effect a reconciliation, but failed. A number of persons were asleep in the building , it is said, and it is possible that the action of the patrolman saved lives.

News of FLushing's fourteenth secret wedding leaked out yesterday for the first time, when it became known that Harrison Skeuse, youngest son of Thomas Skeuse, the well known contractor of No 40 Warren street, Flushing, had been married to a Manhattan young woman for the past seven months.
Young Mr Skuse brought his bride to his parent's home over one month ago, where they are now living.

Victor.—Lighting struck the house of P M Skuse, two miles east of the village, during a shower here. A chimney was torn down, cornice was ripped off and plaster and wall paper were torn off in sections of two of the rooms in the house. The lightning performed queer antics and evidently followed a siding of the house to the ground. One mirror was badly damaged, which was hanging on this wall, the quicksilver on the back being discolored and torn off from the glass. Another mirror on the same wall in another room was dropped to the floor, the back being torn off by the shock. Neither glass was brokne. The damage to the house will be slight. The occupants of the house, Mr and Mrs Skuse, with a guest, suffered from firght and were somewhat dazed from the shock. This house was struck about twelve years ago in the same place.

Skuce awakes to find his name famous
Charges of Robbery, dueling and "smoking up" a Saloon stand beside it

He is Meadville Brakeman

(Special Telegram to Gazette Times)
St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 17. - Charles Skuce, aged 39, a brakeman from Meadville, Pa., awoke in the holdover at Central District Station this morning to find himself confronted by charges of committing highway robbery, fighting a revolver duel with a watchmand and "shooting up" a saloon last night.
He had an indistinct recollection of the holdup and very vididly rememberd part of the duel - the part directed at him - but the affair in the saloon he could not bring to mind at all, he said..
"Boose," he declared to reported. "That's what did it all. I guess I did all the things they tell me of. I can't remember. I was crazy with liquor."
The victim of the holdup was Arno Storbeck, an employe of thge Adams Express Company. He was walking homeward on the Eightteenth street viaduct over the terminal yeards when the man he has identified as Skuce confronted him with a revolver and made him surrender his purse containing $3.70.
The robber dropped the purse into a pocket of his long gray overcoat and hurried north across the viaduct. Storbeck followed him and at the other end of the bridge called to J.L. Russell, a private watchman for the terminal. As the robber descended into the yards Russell called to him to stop. The robber fired one shot and dodged behhind a telegraph pole. The watchman replied with three shots from his revolver, whereupon the robber fled through the yards and escaped, leaving his overcoat behind the pole.
Storbeck described the bandit as about 35 years old, having a reddish mustache and wearing a brakeman's cap. Nu such man could be found, however, until 10:30 p.m., when one answering that description walked into Emil Berra's saloon, 700 South Fourth street, flourished a revolver and shouted: "Keep still or I'll shoot!"
He suited the action to the word and fired a bullet into the bar before any of the half dozen men in the place could take a step. Then he fled, but was pursued and overtaken by John Cova, manager of the saloon, who held him until patrolmen arrived.

CORONER WILL INVESTIGATE.
Law Violated in Motorcycle Accident That Caused Death of Shirley Flack on Canton Road.—Men Not Seriously Injured.

Two motorcycles collided on the Canton road near Flackville about 9 o'clock Sunday evening, and Miss Shirley Flack, who was riding on the tank of one of the machines received injuries from which she died on Monday. Miss Flack was riding with Edson Skuse and they were going toward Canton, while John Hanratta of Lisbon was riding another machine toward this city. Neither machine had their lights burning and it is said that on meeting a carriage the drivers of both motorcycles turned out on the same side and came together with great force. All the riders were thrown, Miss Flack stricking upon her head and fracturing her skull. She was conveyed to tbe house of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Flack in Flackville and died on Monday, without regaining consciousness. Skuse suffered a severe concussion of the brain and was somewhat bruised. Hanratta has several of his teeth knocked out, his face cut and head injured. Miss Flack was 16 years of age and a pupil in the Heuvelton high school. Besides her parents, a twin brother, Sherman Flack survives.
Coroner Stilwell went to Flackville on Monday to hold an inquest, and after ascertaining the condition of the men, decided to postpone the inquiry. The coroner stated that he was unable at present to learn at what speed the cyclists were taveling, but that he judget it to have been a fast clip from the nature of the injuries that all three received. He further expressed the opinion that the fatality was due to the absence of lights on both machines. Asked as to whether criminal proceedings will be started against the motorists, he replied that he could not say at present what action will be taken along that line. The coroner added that there is a law against allowing persons to ride in front of the driver of a motor vehicle, but that he supposed one could ride behind the driver if he wished to take the risk. In this case the Shirley girl occupied a seat in front of young Skuse.
Dr. Stilwell stated that neither Skuse nor Hanratta was in a serious condition as a result of his injuries and that he expected both would be able to testify within a short time. He indicted that he would require the witnesses to come to this city to be examined by him.

In faith I now can see the Christ
That once in sorrow died for me,
That, I might be saved-forever
He died upon the curel hill.
I see Him draw the veil that hides
From earthly yes the beauty seem
That now awaits His own loved ones,
There's a place prepared for me,
And some day death will loose the cord
THat holds me to this earthly place,
And shall see Him face to face
In glory sitting on His throne,
And see the place prepared for me,
Be it great or bit it small
It means to me my toils here
My work forever on earth is o'er.
O, may it be in his right hand
With loved ones that have gone before,
O, may we not at last sit together
On that golden shore?
The heavenly home where all is love
And all of pains and sorrows cease
And with all earthly sin removed
We are to dwell in eternal peace.

Card of Thanks
To all the friends whose sympathy and services so kindly tendered me during the loss of my beloved wife, I wish to extend my heartfelt thanks. Also for the many flowers among which were beautiful pieces presented by the Hook and Ladder Co., the Hudnutt class and Epworth League.

Not his Stoves, but that didn't matter
Took Dealer to Woman's Rooms and sold them

Experience may be the best teacher, but it has never driven home a very effective lesson to Frank Skuse, 50 years old, of Frank street, who was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detective Wiedman on a charge of petty larceny and burglary in the third degree. Skuse has been arrested again and again, yet he continues to do things contrary to the rules of law and order. His lastest offence is, so charged, the theft of four stoves and a rug valued at $40, the property of Mrs B Shoemaker, of No 275 State street.
Recently Mrs Shoemaker moved most of her belongings from the State street address to a house in another part of the city. Four stoves and a rug, however, were left in the State street apartment for a few days, the intention of Mrs Shoemaker being to have them taken to her new home early this week. Skuse who at one time boarded with Mrs Shoemaker, learned that the stoves and the rug were in the State street apartment, and he went there yesterday, and sold them to a second-hand dealer, who carted them away.
Skuse has served ten years in Auburn and has frequently been in the penitentiary.

Objects to Stecher Will
Daughter Alleges Fraud and Undue Influence—Jury Trial

Objections to probate of the will of Frank A Stecher were tried yesterday afternoon in Surrogate Couty by McInnery & Bechfold, who represent Mrs Louise Maria Theresa Skuse, of Los Angeles, a daughter of the testator Mr Stecher, who was president of the Stecher Lithographic Company, died on May 16, 1916, and left an estate valued at $730,000. Old employees of the company and nieces and nephews shared in the estate.
Under the terms of the will two daughters, Mrs Skuse and Mrs Caroline Schlegel, of Rochester, were to receive Incomes of $10,000, in addition, Mrs Schlegel was given the life use of the testator's home at No 1132 East savenue and an anunity of $4000 for its proper maintenance.
Mrs Skuse, through her attorneys, attacks the probate of the will on the ground that the instrument offered is not the last will and that it was not executed as required by law. It is charged that at the time of the making of the will the testator was not of sound mind and memory and that he was incapable of making a valid will. It is claimed that the execution of the will was not obtained by undue influence and fraud.
The conestant demands a jury trial, the date of which will be fixed by Special County Judge Bathite, acting surrogate.

Thomas Skeuse Death at 76
Well known Flushing contractor succumbs after long illness./
Had Been Engaged in Business here for half a century—Resident of Town Seventy-one Years—Suffered Paralysis Stroke Thirteen Months Ago and Never Recovered.
Thomas Skuse, a resident of Flushing for more than seventy years and who was actively engaged in the contracting business here for half a century, died last night in the Flushing Hospital, after an illness of more than a year. Although the direct cause of his death is given as nephritis, Mr Skeuse had suffered from complications.
About thirteen months ago he was stricken suddenly with paralysis while walking on the street and had to be assisted to him home. He never regained his health and was removed to the hospital last Monday.
Thomas Skeuse was born in Ireland, the son of Thomas and Mary Skeuse. His father was at one time a soldier in the British army as were also other members of the elder Mr Skeuse's family. Nine months after the birth of Thomas Skeuse, his parents immigrated to America and located in Flushing, where his father secured employment as a landscape gardener, which he had learned in his native land, but later he began devoting his attention to the milk business, then retired and finally passed from life at College Point at the age of fifty-four years. Mr Skeuse's mother reached the age of seventy-two years.
Thomas Skeuse has been a resident of Flushing seventy-one years, the first five years of his childhood being spent in Connecticut. He began wqorking when very small and was obliged to stand on a box to wash India rubber combs at College Point, at which time there were but seventeen houses in that place. He did not continue long at this business because of sickness and later on assisted his father and brothers in farming, gardening and in selling milk, continuing this occupartion until his marriage on March 3, 1865 to Mary Bough.
Following his marriage Mr Skeuse engaged in the contracting business here and although he met with some reverses he continued to persevere and his efforts were eventually crowned with success. In 1879 he became a wholesale dealer in ice and followed that line of business for several years. While engaged in the contracting business he built eleven miles of the best macadamized road between Flushing and Jamaica and also did some fine work on the dykes here and put up some beautiful homes. The contract to build the road form Flushing to Jamaica was the first big job Mr Skeuse had. At that time he was associated in business with Harry B Peace, of Flushing.
Mr Skeuse was a Royal Arch Mason, a member of Cornucopia Lodge, No 563, F & A M, and was also a member of Pacific Lodge, No 85, I O O F. He was one of the original founders of the Odd Fellows' Home at Hollis and was one of the hardest workers in behalf of that insitution.
Mr Skeuse and his family attended St George's Episcopla Church. Politically, Mr Skeuse had always been a Republican.
Besides a widow he is survived by five sons and four daughters. Services will be conducted at his late home, Sunday evening at 8 o;clock by Cornucopia Lodge and Pacific Lodge. Rev Henry D Waller, rector of St George's Church will ocnduct services at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, when the funeral will be held. Interment will be in Flushing Cemetery.

Hermitge
Not lang since the attention of John Skuse was attracted by a peculiar looking object lying on the gravel in the center of the stream that forms the western boundary of his farm. Wading in he fished out a coal black, petrified fossil. All who have seen it agreed that it is the lower jaw bone of a prehistoric animal. The jaw is long and comparitively narrow and shows the unmistakable sockets of very large teeth. John has wondered how the animal looked that had suck immense grinders. Were the great French palaeontologist Cuvier on earth he would be able to take the fragment and construct a representation of the strange being that might satisfy John's curiosity. We suggest that he sent the relic to Professor Whitbeck of Wisconsin University and learn whta he and his geological colleagues know.

Half Century of Married Life Has Passed Quickly, Say East Rochester Pair

East Rochester. May 19—Perhaps the happiest couple living in East Rochester today is Mr and Mrs Philetus M Skuse. Who celebrated their fiftieth anniversary in their little cottage at ?? ?? East avenue, where they have lived for the past six years. Many friend's called at their home yesterday and to-day and congratulated the happy couple.
Fifty years ago to-day in the little town of Arcadia, Wayne county, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr and Mrs J Cronk, the marriage ceremony was performed. Mrs Skuse said tonight that only two persons who attended the wedding were living at the present time. They were married at noon and at 3 o'clock they started on there honeymoon, traveling with horse and buggy to Geneva, twenty miles from home. In the morning they continued their journey, taking a boat up Seneca lake to Watkins Glen, where they stayed for a few days before returning to the town of Arcadia.
After few months had passed, Mr and Mrs Skuse moved to the Southern part of the state of Michigan, in the town of Pittsford, Hillsdale county, where Mr Skuse purchased sixty acres of forest. There was not a house or a barn on the premises and the couple decided to build a home, Mr Skuse went to the Pittsford village and bought saws and axes and immediately began cutting the timber. Many days had not passed before a log house was erected. The couple lived there for ?? years, remaining to the town of ?? where farming was the chief occupation. Following a few years there Mr and Mrs Skuse moved back to the old homestead.
Mr Skuse is a Civil War veteran, being a member of Myron Adams Post, No 84 of Rochester. On August 1, 18?? in the old Town Hall of Newark he enlisted and was later placed in the Army of the Potomac. He fought under General Hancock and Humphrey, being engaged in the bloody battles of Petersburg and Richmond. "I was never wounded or ?? taken a prisoner," said Mr Skuse. Speaking of the war which has just ended, the veteran said, "It was a great war and I cannot say enough for the brave lads who made victory possible. They have shown the Hun just what fight is, and have shown the Kaiser just what Uncle Sam is made of."
Mr and Mrs Skuse are enjoying good health. Yesterday afternoon they were taken for an auto ride through Rochester and on the way home they were shown the magnolias on Oxford street. To-day the Rev F C House, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Mr and Mrs Skuse are members took them to Highland Park where the latter part of the afternoon was spent.
"Yes we have been married fifty years, but it doesn't seem half that time, does it Philetus?, said Mrs Skuse to a reported when he was leaving their home.
"No, you bet it don't Ida." Philetus responded as the couple clasped hands cheerfully smiled.

Played Pranks on Rochester Folks
Was caught and has promised to be good in the Future
Rochester, Dec 24—After being severely reprimanded and making a solemn promise to Chief Quigley and Detective Captain McDonald that she would "never do it again," 18-year-old Eilene Skuse, who is claimed to have caused no end of trouble in the East Avenue residential section during the last few days as a result of her telephone pranks, has been permitted to return to her home. She had been questioned at length by Captain McDonald regarding her telephone escapades and is said to have made a complete confession. A few hours earlier she was taken into custody by Detectives Dockstader and Sharp, who had been detailed to investigate the avalanche of mysterious telephone calls.
Physicians, florists, undertakers, real estate men and many others have been visiting the home of a prominent East Avenue resident in response to telephone call giving false reports of a serioes of calamities. The pranks all but reached a climax a couple of days ago when a hearse drew up in front of the East Avenue home in question, and the woman of the house fainted as she looked out of the window and witnessed the grim spectacle. This was carrying matters too far and an appeal was made to the police.

Mrs Jennie Schoepflin and children were in Hermitage Friday to attend the birthday party for John Skuse. Mr Skuse was 82 years old.

Hermitage
Friday, March 22, 1924 was set apart for the hilarious celebration of the 82nd birthday anniversary of Mr John Skuse of Hermitage. In the afternoon of that day about thirty five relatives, neighbors and friends from Eagle Castile, Gainesville and Hermitage took the genial octogenerian by surprise by taking possession of his home and doing exactly as they pleased for the space of several hours. By connivance with his good wife they quartered theirs righs in his barn, covered his best neds with their wraps, occupied his parlor, used his stove and his fuel to brew their coffee and warm their beans and some few went even so far as to play games on his crokinole boad and extract sweet music from his organ. Amply provided with eatables of every description they sat down around the aged man and gorged themselves with delicious viands such as home made pie and frosted cake and of course dropped many a crumb on his carpets.
Let it be said that throughout all this rank usurpation, this viscious exhibition of utter disregard for his property, his right and feellings, Mr Skuse maintained his accustomed good humor and seemed to take pleasure in witnessing the antics of his unexpected guests and in listening to their jokes and facetious remarks. It may be judged, therefore, that he is a man whose temper is not easily ruffled.
Asthe afternoon wore away, Mr Frank W Smith was prevailed upon to give a reading and also make some timely observations about birthdays, sweethearts, marriage, divorce life and death and so forth and so on to which Mr Skuse responded in similar vein thanking the company, however, for singling him out as the recipient of their good will.
Little six year old mistress Arloine VanDyke of Eagle, Mr Skuse's granddaughter, capitvated the assemblage by her solo playing on the cornet. Mr and Mrs Bert Wood and Mr A E Belden enlivened the wide awake merry makers frequently by means of stirring vocal trios and a few of the oldish people were seen now and then to swing their feet around gracefully as though in recollection of former days.
Before leaving for home a neat little purse was presented Mr Skuse as a memento of his eighty-second milestone and the hope was expressed that there might be an opportunity to mess up his house several times more on the 22nd of March.

Finger Prints Reveal Name of Train Victim
Through finger prints taken in Bakersfield in 1916, a man killed in Fresno last week by a speeding passenger train has been identified. He was Martin Skuse, vagrant and wanderer, well known in police circles up and down the valley.
In 1916 Skuse was arrested here by Police Offcers Paul Shannon and A M Doan on a charge of vagrancy. Officially, Skuse was Bakersfield Number 101. Copies of all fingerprints made here and in other cities are sent tot he state bureau of identification at Sacramento; hence the fingerprints of Skuse found their way there in 1916.
When the unidentified man was killed last week, the Fresno police fingerprinted the dead man and sent the finger prints to Sacramento. They checked with those of Bakersfield Number 101 and in this way the accident victim was identified as Skuse.
George Lawson, city and county identification expert, regards the identification of Skuse as a splendid example of the advantages of fingerprinting. Lawson is firm in his belief that the time is not far off when every human being will be fingerprinted. "There could not possibly be any more unidentified dead when that time comes," he says.

Teacher wins suit against Railroad
Gets $6,000 for Injuries in Slipping on Ice
Parent Receives $1,500
Susie Skuse, twenty-three years old, Collins, NY, school teacher, and her father, Isaac Skuse, yesterday secured verdicts aggregating $7,500 from the Erie railroad in supreme court before Justice O'Malley.
The jury awarded Miss Skuse $6,000, and her parent, $1,500, for injuries she received February 4, 1925, when she slipped on a large pile of snow near the tracks and fell against the locomotive of the moving train, which she intended to take. Her father sued for his daughter's services and money expended for physicians.
It was proved by Dana L Spring, her attorney, that the pile of snow had been placed by employes of the Erie near the pathway which was used by people going in and from the train. Mr Spring showed the snow was bout five feet gigh and was placed between the sidewalk and the paved portion of the road, and it had beocome slipper from people walking over it and as Miss Skuse passed over the pile of snow the accident occurred. The railroad contended that as the pile of snow was not on railroad property, it was not liable.

City Man is Found dead in Frisco Bay
Murder and Suicide Theories Advanced in Skuce's Death
The body of a man believed to be Thomas J Skuce, formerly a railroad engineer of Oklahoma City, was taken from San Francisco bay Monday afternnon by police, according to dispatches reaching here Monday night.
Police were unable to determine wheather the man believed to be Skuce had been murdered or wheather he had committed suicide, reports said. Skuce was a member of the Oklahoma City Elks lodge, according to Lous Pfotenhauer, secretary, and was well known in the city.
Skuce joined the Oklahoma City chapter of the Elks in 1920, Pfotenhauer said. Lodge records show that he was born in New York in 1877. He had lived in Oklahoma City several years before he joined the lodge.
Skuce worked in Oklahoma City railroad years for a number of years. Records here disclosed no relatives living in the city. Skuce went to California about three years ago. He kept in touch with friends here and had communicated with Lodge representatives several times.

The Skuse family reunion was held at the home of Mr and Mrs John Skuse on Wednesday. Due to inclement weather and guests sat down to well filled tables indoors instead of outside so the gathering resembled a banquet rather than a picnic. Good feeling was present, however, and the occasion passed off very pleasantly. Instead ofhearing a pgoram as on former years, the guests listened to a speech by Mr Wayland Bryant of Batavia.
Mr John Skuse the octogenarian patriarch of the reunion is a veteran bee keeper. He has thirty five swarms at present all nicely housed in a secluded retreat beside tall elders. The apiarist confided to your corrrespondent that there is no sweetness in white clover blossoms this year for up-to-date the bees have gathered but little honey. A large proportion of the colonies have swearmed, no swarm going beyong the fringe of elders before alighting.
In the course of his talk Mr Skuse declared the old notion of drumming on a tin pan to attract a flying swarm of been and cause them to descend and alight was only another superstition to rank alongside that of killings hogs in the new of the moon. He said also that it it not always the old been that swarm. Some times the young bees are the ones to leave the hive in search of a new home.
Due to the presence of the much deaded foul blood, Mr Skuse nearly ran out of bees a few years ago and now he has about half as many a sat one time. His swarms were inspected by a state inspectior this spring and pronounced healthy in every respect.
Although some apiarists consider Italian queen been superior to all others, Mr Skuse things there are others just as good. A beeman of over forty years experience Mr Skuse said on Wednesday that he learned something new every year about the busy bee. He has a high regard for their intelligence, their industry and their thrift in doing their utmost to lay something by for the proverbial rany day and for winter in which season they cannot work.
Human beings may learn useful lesson by studying the habits of the beens. Even the economical form of the honey cell proves the <missing line> and is always on the job tending strictly to business. When molested we will defend himself to the best of his ability even though he dies in the attempt. The honey bee is apparently a serious minded chap and does his very best during his short life for the general welfare of the colony to which he belongs.
"Go to the any, tou sluggard Consider his ways be wise" could very well have been changed to: Do as the bee, thou lazy bones. Work like the devil and thrive.

2 More Deaths Raise Toll in Olean Typhid Epidemic; Inquiry On

Olean, Oct. 11 - Two more deaths today have been listed in the typhoid fever epidemic, bringing the total to four.
Miss Elizabeth Ganoung, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Samuel Ganoug, 204 East avenue, died in Olean General hospital. She was an assistant in her father's dancing school. She had been ill since the outbreak of the epidemic.
The Rev. Frank H. Skuce, 70, Westons Mills, who contracted the disease while working here, died in the Olean General hospital late Wednesday. He was the originator of the Holiness movement in towns in Pennsylvannia some years ago. A mission he founded in Bradford grew into the Church of the Nazarene. He founded chapels in other places.
He was a shipping cherk in a wholesale plant here.
For the first time since the epidemic started here Sept 29, there was a decrease of new cases yesterday. Only three were reported.
The total of positive cases now is 138, several having recovered sufficiently to be removed from the list. There are 65 suspected cases.
The Rochester Red Cross is rushing more nurses here as rapidly as they are available. The demand has been met up to now, although there is no reserve should the epidemic once more become severe.
Tests show a marked improvement in city water, which has been blamed for the spread of the disease. Dr B. E. Robert, state epidemologist, however, advises that boiling still is necessary.
Mayor George A. Pierce has named himself and two other city officials as a board to investigate any laxity that may have caused the epidemic. The others are Howard J. Jaekle, president of city council, and Frank J. Andrews, city attorney.

Home Bureau to Meet at Skuse Home on Carter Road All Day Thursday
<Picture>
Home of Frank and Howard Skuse on Carter Road

The ladies comprising the Geneva Home Bureau who are familiar with the home and surroundings of Mrs Howard Skuse will let nothing stand in the way of attending the meeting of the orgaization which is to be held on the spacious veranda and adjoining lawn Thursday, July 2nd. It is planned to make an entire day of it and luncheon, provided by the visitors themselves, will be served at 1 o'clock.
In the way of features Mrs Milton Wheeler of Canandaigua, the county agent, is planning to attend and Mrs William Gainey, the president of the organization who lives near Phelps will also be there in person. The hostesses willbe Mrs Howard Skuse and Miss Lena Skuse, both living in the beautiful homestead which is one of the most attractive residences on Carter road.
The Skuse hone is an old landmark, the western or brick portion having been erected long before the railroad was laid out. When Frank Skuse acquired the property the dwelling was a rather plain brick structure with nine staring eyes looking toward the rising sun, no porch whatever across the front and the windows so high that one must stand to look out of them. An adjacent barn was burned soon after the railroad locomotive with its wood burning propensities began to pass the premises and this was replaced by larger outbuildings father away form the house.
As time passed and the young man of the family brough home a wife extensive alterations were made in the structure and its capacity doubled by the erection of an addityion on the eastern end. Other inside alterations were elaborated upon and the front door to the old brick house has become a portal to be proud of. It opens directly on a wife shaded verands facing the north which has been continued entirely across the house and the visitors on Thursday need have no fear of inclement weather marring their enjoyment.
Miss Lena Skuse lives with her father in the older brick portion of the structure while her brother calls the new part his home. The interior, however, is one large, connected house and the lawn extending nearly 200 fett out to the highway provided ample space for agathering many times the size of the Ontario County Home Bureau.

Gavel of Alaska Ivory Presented Rebekah Leader
Carved from a piece of genuine Alaskan ivory, buried for more than three score years beneath great expanses of frozen ground in the Arctic region, a beautiful and unique gavel was presented to Mrs Claude C Clark, nobel grand of the Van Nuys Rebekah lodge, prior to the conferring of the initiatory degree Tuesday evening by Miss Helen Skuse of Menlo Park and Alaska.
Miss Skuse, twenty-two year old native of Genoa, Alaska, is the youngest past noble grand of the lodge in that country, where she was christened at ther birth. Her first name was given her by her parents, while the second name, Miriam, was chosen by the lodge. Having been practically born and raised with the Rebekahs, Miss Skuse is intensely interested in their work, and has visited Van Nuys lodge on several occasions.
Having admired the splendid work of Mrs Clark in the lodge, Miss Skuse, through her father in Alaska, had the gavel made in time for the noble grand's first initiation ceremony this term. It is a beautiful piece of workman-ship, the handle of smooth ivory and the mallet part of variegated tones of ivory and tan. The dark places were caused by light exposure and mineral colorings, and create a particularly striking effect. The gavel was tied with satin ribbons in the colors of the order.

Resolutions
Thomas James Skuse
At a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Atlantic Savings and Loan Association, held at its office in the Borough of Brooklyn, on the 7th days of June, 1934, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted:
With deepest regret we lean that Almighty God has suddenly called our dear associate and fellow officer, Thomas James Skuse, to his eternal reward on June 6th, 1934.
Associated with us for more than forty years past, and our secretary from 1898 until his death, he brought to us the invaluable experience and wisdom of an active business life, and entered zealously into the unselfish spirit of co-operation which has alwaus actuated those engaged in the work of this beneficient association. Becoming a student and leader in the work of savings and loan associations in this State, he continuously labored for their improvement and made his own association a recognized model.
A man of large heart, most affable and kindly, earnest and sincere, he endeared himself to us and to our members and won our love and esteem, so that his loss is personal to us all.
Knowing so long his beautiful character and lovable disposition, and what a kindly and affectionate husband and brother he was, we can appreciate in some measure the great bereavement of his wife and sister, and extend to them our deepest sympathy in their great sorrow.

Wesleyan Church has Prospered
Meeting of Four Persons results in Organization of Active Congreation

The First Wesleyan Methodist Church of Olean came into esitence in a littel cottage at Westons Mills, at a meeting of four persons.
These persons were Mr and Mrs Frank Skuce, a Mr Prince and William Budgeon, all of whom have since died with the exception of Mrs Amanda Skuce, who still resides at Westons.
Services were held in various homes for some length of time.
The first evangelical effort was helt at the Westons community church, with the Rev G W Sibley as the evangelist. One hundred and five persons sought God on this occasion.
Such progress resulted in the calling of the Rev J Thomas as first pastor, and he, with the aid of others, erected a small church at Westons. This church was opened for worship free from debt.
Mr Skuce later obtained permission from Mrs Boardman, of Olean to erect a tent on her property for revival meetings.
Rev Sibley was again called as evangelist and was later elected pastor to fill the vacancy occasioned when Rev Thomas left. He filled the Olan and Westons charges.
The present church buldings on School Street were erected May 26, 1895. The trustees in charge at that time were Daniel Converse, John Randolph, Sylvester Eyler and Allen Woodruff.
Many pastors have servied this charge and the church has advanced. The present congration numbers eighty active members, with a large young people's society and an active Sunday School of three hundred. The Rev G J Norman is present pastor.

Deaths
Skuse—SSeptember 17, 1939, at her late residence, 1500 Main Street, in Buffalo. Addie Byron Skuse. Notice of funeral hereafter.

The Watkins Express
September 20, 1939

Miss Addie Byron Skuse died at her late home, 1500 Main street, Buffalo, Sunday afternoon, September 17, 1939. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 10:30 and burial was made in Forest Lawn, Buffalo.
Miss Skuse was born on May 20th, 1860, a daughter of Philetus Swift Skuse and Elemina Celinda (Drake) Burgess of Irelandville.
The following is a sketch of her parents as compiled by Miss Skuse some years ago:
"Philetus Swift Skuse (Swift was the name of a neighbor) was born May 11, 1815, in the town of Phelps, Ontario county, on Canandaigua outlet. He died September 15th, 1901, and is buried in the County Line Cemetery, Reading. He came to Reading and married Elemina Celinda Drake, April 23, 1857. She was the daughter of John Drake and Climenia (Seaman) Drake who lived on the County Line Road adjoining the Diven farm. Father and mother had five children, Philetus, Addie Bryon, Fred, Charles and Evan.
Father and mother first lived west of Irelandville then went to Starkey, NY (on the Dan Ellis place) for a few years, then bought the Ireland place at Irelandville, where they spent the remaining years of their life. Mr Ireland owned a whole square of land west of Irelandville.
Father first married Catherine M Rogers and they went to Southern Michigan to live, but on account of father's health he was advisted to return to New York state. They had several children. Daniel Skuse the father of Bert Skuse, Watkins Glen, was a son. Catherine M Rogers was a relative of Randolph Rogers, a sculptor, who died the bronze doors to the house chamber at the Capitol, Washington, B.C. ( I saw them). He also did some work at our New York state building in Buffalo. Catharine M Rogers was born near Geneva, N.Y.
Father was never a strong robust man and therefore took great care of himself, being very temperate in all ways of living. Mother died January 30th 1882.
I was united with the First Presbyterian Church, Watkins Glen, when I was seventeen years of age. I now belong to the North Presbyterian Church on Delaware Ave, Buffalo. I was eleven years in the state civil service work.
Father was by trade a cooper, and often spoke about how many barrels he had put together in one day. His father was also a cooper. His father was Charles Skuse and mother was Mary Smith who was born in Monmouth County, New Jersey. They came to Phelps, N.Y. at an early date. Charles Skuse, my father's father, came from Ireland, I think, but I knew no particulars."
Addie B Skuse, November 18, 1932
Elmina Celinda Drake married first to Benjamin Burgess, Watkins, and had a son Marion Burgess. They were Married July 3 1849. Elemina Celinda (Drake) Burgess, married second to Philetus Swift Skuse, April 23, 1857. They had:—
1 Philetus Skuse born July 4, 1858; died February 27, 1876
2 Addie Byron Skuse born May 20, 1860
3 Fred T Skuse born May 30, 1863; married Frances Curry. He died Mary 7, 1935. Widow living in Edmonds, Washington.
4 Charles Skuse born June 29 1865; married Alice Vanderhoff. He died in 1925.
5 Evan Skuse born in 1867; died September 6, 1873.
John Drake father to above Elemina Celinda Drake, was a son of James Drake and wife Rachel, who were pioneer settlers in Reading about 1800. James Drake was in the Revolutionary War, and is buried in the County Line Cemetery, Reading.

One of the nation's foremost cartoonists, Lou Skuce, will appear as a featured presentation in the elaborate grandstand show that will be seen at the Lewis County Fair, on August 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.
Because his drawings are of necesity small and must be done with great rapidity to hold the attention of huge audiences, Skuce has improvised his "cartoonograph," a magnifying projection device that throws his drawings as they are in the process of construction on a screen measuring more than 30 feet in diameter.
Skuce's ability as a cartoonist knows no limitations and his subjects vary from political, sports and comics to serious drawings with real artistic merit.
One of Skuce's most successful appearances was at the Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, when thousands of patrons applauded and chuckled over his efforts.
This unusual attraction was secured through George A Hamid Inc., of New York, the nation's foremost booker of outdoor entertainment.

Old Times in Randolph
Seventy Years Ago
January 20, 1881

John Skuse, an Irishman who lived in one of the shanties near the depot, was killed Monday afternoon when a tree fell on him at the farm of Dr J T Edward, Mr Skuse was cutting a clump of second growth trees, against one of which leaned an old soft maple stub. He had apparently used all proper care, having trampled the snow down so he could easily get out of the wya, and had been observed to be chipping carefully. The stub was loosened by the falling of one of the samll trees and it fell upon Mr Skuse, breaking his neck and back and crushing him to the ground a corpse. Hi son, Peter, was a short distance away and ran to his assistance but could not lift the tree from the body. Other workmen brought the body home.

We Congratulate
Richard N Skuse.... on His 48th Birthday Today.
<Photo>
If you mentioned canasta to Detective Richard N Skuse 3 months ago (and presons frequently did), he would snort derisively.
"That game is strictly for the dames."
Today, however, it is somewhat different. Utter the worth within his earshot and strange gleam comes into his eyes. He thusts his hands into his coat pocket and quickly draws forth a canasta deck, meanwhile glancing about eagerly for a table and at least one playing companion.
Detective Skuse's wife, Mennetta, takes credit, or blame, for his now intense interest in the game. Prior to his being reformed, he was a pinochle and kock-rummy man.
Skuse, a native of Rochester, was appointed to the police Bureau July 1, 1937, and assigned to the former Fifths Precinct in Lyell Ave. On May 1, 1945, he became a member of the Traffic Bureau and was made a plainclothesman June 1, 1947; Grade B Detective Aug 1, 1950, and Grade A last Jan 1. His home is at 107 Elmersten Rd.
The Skuse's have a son, Richard, 25, a University of Rochester student. He and his wife, Virginia, live at 1353 Mt Hope Ave.
Today is Detective Skuse's birthday anniversary. This evening he and Mrs Skuse will celebrate the occasion by being dinner guests of the younger Skuses—after which, Detective Skuse will insist on playing canasta.
"Both my son and daughter-in-law hate canasta," said Skuse last night. "So the evening may wind up in a big argument."

District Court Jury Voides Will of Iowan
Grundy Center (AP)—A district court jury here late Tuesday voided the will of J S Skuse, 86, of Conrad, but Judge Paul Kildee has deferred for at least 30 days a decision on how the $125,000 estate shall be divided up.
Just Kildee deferred an immediate decision on division of the estate after granting 30 days in which a motion for new trial may be filed in the case.
The contest over validity of the will arose after Gordon Barriage of Union, a nephew, filed a challenge. Skuse left $2,000 of his estate to Gordon Barriage. He left a 260-acre farm to Roy Barriage, another nephew. Roy had lived with his uncle several years prior to Skuse's death.
After Skuse died in a mental insitution Dec 31, 1951. Gordon claimed his uncle was not mentally competent at the time the will was drawn, May 7, 1951. He also claimed his brother, Roy, used undue influence.
The jury upheld Gordon's contention and ruled the will invalid.

Their job is to sit up on this mountain, guard the flow of water through the intake of the 10-mile tunnel to the gigantic power plant of the Aluminum Co., Canada's new smelter at Kitimat, give daily weather reports and be ready to shut off the reservoir water if necessary.
The Skuces have been up here more than a year and have only had a handful of visitors. They consider this an ideal working condition. The helicopter which brings supplies and mail every 2 weeks frequently doesn't even shut off its engine, this making conversation unnecessary.

2 cars, truck collide; Dresden couple Killed

Two Dresden cottagers were killed yesterday in a head-on crash with a dump tuck on Rt 14, 500 yards nother of the Yates County line, about 1:15pm.
Kenneth B Skuse, 56, of Dresden, was pronnounced dead at the scene, and his wife, Edgarena A Skuse, 56, was pronouced dead at Geneva General Hospital shortly after the accident.
The couple was returning to Dresden from a trip to Rochester. Skuse, a retired American Can Co employee, was driving south on Rt 14.
State police said a northbound car operated by Anthony J Ventresca of Wickliffe, Ohio, was stopped to make a left-hand turn, when the dump truck, also northbound, approached from behind. The truck driver, Harold T Tiffany, 63, of RD 1, Unadilla, depressed his brakes, skidded, turned over crossways on the road and colldied with the Skuse vehicle, according to state police.
A Bureau of Criminal Investiation spokesman said Tiffany was using his truck, which he owned, to haul fill from the Geneva area southward to flood devastated areas. The truck was empty, apparently on a return trip, when the accident occurred.
Both Tiffany and Ventrasca escaped injury. Ventresca told the Time he was going to make a left turn into a dirt road leading to some capsites, and was waiting for the Skuse vehicle to pass from the opposite direction, when the crash occurred.
A state trooper at the scene said that when the truck driver braked, his skidding wheels skipped on the pavement as the empty truck bounced toward a halt.
After the coroner pronounced Mr Skuse dead at the scene, two wreckers pried the car's driver's side apart to free him. His wife, a passenger, had been rushed to the hospital earlier. Their pet dog was also killed.
State police said criminal action is pending in th eaccident.
Geneva and West Lade Rd firemen assisted at the scene and prevented spilled gasoline from igniting.
Ontario and Yates County Sheriff's deputies rerouted traffic for two and one-half hours. Many drivers, finding they could not get through, parked along the roadside.
The Skuses had recently built a winter home in Frlodia. The couple spent summers at a lakeside cottage in Desden.
Shortly after his accident, their son, Kenneth Skuse II of Desden, came upon the scene, without knowing beforehand that it involved his parents. The son by coicidence was driving north to Geneva while his parents were driving south to Dresden.
A double funeral service will be held at the Bennett Funeral Home Monday at 2pm. Burials will be in Glenwood Cemetery.
Fridays may call at the funeral home Sunday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 pm. There will be a Masonic prayer service at 7:30pm at the funeral home, followed by Order of the Eastern Star prayer service for Mrs Skuse at 8pm.
They had lived in the Geneva area for many years. Mr Skuse was born in Geneva and Mrs Skuse was born in Canadaigua. He had retired from the American Can Co in New Orleans in 1971. He had been head of personnel in safety training. He had also worked at the Geneva and Fairport American Can plants.
He attended Cornell University. He was a member of the First Prebyterian Church here. He belonged to the Geneva Masonic Lodge 965 F&AM. He helped found and was the first president of the West Lake Rd Fire Dept. He was affiliated with the Rochester Aircraft Srevice Inc where he was a pilot. He was also a member of the Civil Air Patrol in New Orelans. He was a town assossor for the Town of Dresden for many years.
Mrs Skuse was a member of the Order of the Eastern Star 83, Geneva Chapter, and of First Prebyterian Church. She also had been the first president of the West Lake Rd Fire Dept Auxilliary.
They are survived by tow sons, Kenneth E Skuse II of Dresden, Gragory J Skuse, of Kenner, La.; two daughters, Mrs Kenneth (Elizabeth) Prieg of Salamanica, and Mrs Jim (Barbara) DeVito of Palmyra; and six grandchildren.
Besides Mr Skuse's children, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs Ruth Brown of Geneva, and Mrs Kenneth (Thelma) Updike of Waterloo.

Wyoming County Senior Citizens
<picture>
The oldest Wyoming County Fair Attendant, John C VanDyke, visited the 1980 Fair five times. His favorite exhibit was the cattle. Mr VanDyke stated the Fair "...was bigger than ever." He enjoyed every minute of it. John VanDyke was born July 16, 1881 in the Town of Eagle. His grandparents, David and Lacindy VanDyke and his parents, William an dLibby Cross VanDyke ran the seventy-eight acre dair farm before him. There were four children--Mary, Charles, John and William, and a half brother Bert, and a half sister Anna, in his family. He walked a half mile to school and finally decided he didn't want to go to school. He remembers well his mother following him to school, whip in hand! He settled down to the inevitable and attended School District Nine and then to the Pike Seminary for two years. In 1908 John VanDyke married Laura Skuse from Wethresfield. With their only daughter, Arlowence Elizabeth (Mrs Gordon Stevens) he now makes his home. His wife died in 1968 at the age of ninety-three.
When Mr VanDyke succeeded to the farm he added a hundred acres. Besides dairying on this one hundred-seventy-eight-acre farm, he grew ten acres of potatoes, and tapped fifteen hundred maple trees, the syrip from which sold for $3.00 a gallon. Later he ran a few sheep but not for long. Reminiscences were many and varied. He remembers his grand-father as a wagon maker and the large wagon wheels he made. The milk went to the cheese factory on Wing Street, and at differing times went to Eagle, and later to Arcade and finally to the Merrill Soule plant in Bliss. Those were the days of the milk cans delivered by horse and then by truck. Some of his maple syrup went to Embts in Varysburg and some to Delevan from where it found ti way by truck, to Vermont. The potatoes went as far away as Pittsburgh. His daughter, Mrs Stevens, has fond memories of a delicious dried apple pie. The apples were pared, hung on a string to dry back of the wood cook stove. These dried apples were often taken to the store and traded for groceries. Mr VanDyke recalls selling forty barrels of apples for four dollars a barrel!
Box socials at the Eagle Methodist Church, oyster suppers with the Wing Street neighbors, traveling twenty miles to the County Fair at Warsaw; his first car, a Buick Touring car on which side flaps had to be attached when it rained---all of these were some of his memories. He recalled on eyear when they were too busy filling silo, the potatoes froze in the ground. During a thaw they managed to dig them up and put them in the cellar. During stormy weather they tried to sort them but found the potatoes to be a complete loss. There were no subsidies to help ease the ten-acre potato loss. Mr VanDyke lived on his farm till 1971, when, at the age of ninety, he came to live with his daighter and her husband, Arlowence and Gordon Stevens. Gifts he received in prizes from the 1980 Wyoming County Fair included gifts certificates from Keif's in Perry, Sunderlands in Warsaw, Warsaw Opticians, and a door prize--all totaling tweny dollars. He also received candy from Prinzi's, a jar of jelly, a can of instant tea, a ladies pin and a Top's gift certificate.

Jennifer attended Menlo Atherton High School in Atherton, California, Hollins College in Virginia, and Arizona State University. She subsequently lived in Cave Creek, Arizona where she met her true love, John Warack. They moved to his home state, Michigan, in 1995.
Jennifer loved to travel, visiting Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Central and South America, as well as most of the United States.

She will be remembered by family and friends for her contagious smile, infectious laugh, and inner and outer beauty. Jennifer is survived by John and their beautiful daughter, Hunter Amelia Warack, and Hunter's half sisters Jennifer and Ashley, as well as her parents, Betsy and Dave Skuce of Menlo Park and McArthur, and her sister Kendal and Brother Jake.
Arrangements were entrusted to the Cederberg Funeral Home of Frankenmuth.

SKUCE, Jennifer Bubier - Born July 7, 1965 at Stanford Hospital in Palo Alto, CA. She passed away peacefully in her sleep at home in Frankenmuth, Michigan, July 28, after a courageous battle with breast cancer. All her immediate family was at her side. Jennifer attended Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, CA, Hollins College in Virginia, and Arizona State University. She subsequently lived in Cave Creek, Arizona, where she met her true love, John Warack. They moved to his home state of Michigan in 1995. Jennifer loved to travel, visiting Europe, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Central and South America, as well as most of the United States. But her true passion was animals of all kinds, and in particular horses. She was an accomplished rider as well as a breeder of Arabians and Thoroughbreds. Incongruous as it may sound, she was also an excellent rifle shot, and life time member of Safari Club International. She will be remembered by family and friends for her contagious smile, infectious laugh, and inner and outer beauty. Jennifer is survived by John, and their beautiful daughter Hunter Amelia Warack; and Hunter's half sisters, Jennifer and Ashley; as well as her parents, Betsy and Dave Skuce of Menlo Park and McArthur, California; and her sister Kendal and brother, Jake. The family has established the Jennifer Project to build an indoor riding arena in the town of McArthur in her memory.

Ottawa Man Touring North on a Bicycle
Cecil Skuce has ridden same machine 3000 miles

Hammond, Oct 12 - Cecil Skuce of 37 Primrose avenue, Ottawa, Can. stopped here Sunday while on the way home from Watertown where he spent Saturday. He left Watertown at 8:30 Sunday morning and arrived at this village at 11:50 making the distance of 42 miles in three hours and 20 minutes on a bicycle.He expected to make Ogdensburg in two hours from this place, a distance of 22 miles where he expects to stop a day or so.
The young man has ridden this wheel 3,000 miles since April and has played the piano in more than 500 different towns. He assures that by another season he will save carfare enough by traveling on the wheel to buy a motorcycle.
Mr. Skuce is an ex-service man, having served four years in the Canadian army. He saw considerable service overseas, being in France the duration of the war. He escaped injury with only a slight dose of gas in the eyes which affected his eyesight to the extent that he has to wear the strongest glasses obtainable.

That Detroit Medical College

Whether or not the "Medical College of the Detroit University" will ever amount to much as an institution where reputable physicians may be turned out it is certainly obtaining much free advertising, consequent upon the Free Press' charges that it was a fraud. The result of the investigations of the Free Press have already been mentioned in these columns. Other discoveries, since made, are equally interesting. The press of yesterday charges that the head of the institution, who goes by the name of H.S.Thomas, M.D., "is Tom Skuce, a former Rochester (N.Y.) barber, who came to Detroit to practice medicine some years since, his office since being up stairs over the corner of Michigan avenue and First street, and his sign bearing the name of H.S. Thomas, M.D." Reference to a Rochester directory of 1869 reveals no name of Skuce, but on page 213 is to be found the entry "Skuse, Thomas, hairdresser, 162 Buffalo h do." So much for the "venerand" president. The "venerand" faculty and their institution are receiving some hard blows from the reputable gentlemen whose names were placed upon the prospectus as instructors, as witness the following letter from Prof Frothingbam: ...
