IDENTIFIES WOMAN FOUND DEAD IN PARK
The woman found dead in Riverside Park, Manhattan, Sunday morning while 
her evident companion on drunken revel, Clinton C. CLARK, of Columbus, 
Ohio, seamanon the battleship Indiana, was sleeping peacefully near her, 
was identified today by Patrick J. KIERNAN at the Morgue as his wife,

evening ostensibly to get some groceries, and never returned.
The inquest into the death of Mrs. KIERNAN will be held to-morrow.

as the officers are almost convinced the woman's death was due to an 
accident in falling from the wall above the park.

ONE DEAD AND FOUR BURNED; FIRE RECORD FOR ONE DAY
INFANT SUFFOCATED IN CRADLE BY SMOKE WHILE MOTHER IS AWAY 
During Mrs. Marie MARIAGGLA's temporary absence in the rear yard of her 
home at 145 Twenty-first street, this morning an overheated stove in 
the kitchen set fire to the place, and the woman's seven months old infant, 
Josie, was suffocated as she lay in her cradle near the fireplace.
Mrs. MARIAGGLA noticed from the yard that something was wrong in her 
apartments on the third floor of the house and hastening upstairs was 
unable upon opening the door to enter the room, so dense was the smoke.  
Not a sound came from the child and it is doubtful if the mother could have 
saved her baby's life even had she gained access to the kitchen.
The fire damaged the building and contents about $800.  The house is owned 
by Alexander ADINOFF, of 763 Fifth avenue, and his loss is covered by insurance.
The police had Dr. STRATMAN summoned to the scene from the Norwegian Hospital, 
but he could only view the infant's remains when he arrived, pronouncing the
child dead from suffocation.

HURLED TWENTY FEET BY TRAIN: WILL DIE
No gates being lowered, although the gateman says he warned him, Herman ELLIS, 
45 years old, of 356 Rockaway avenue, drove his wagon across the tracks 
of the Long Island Railroad at Vesta and Pitkin avenues, this morning, and 
the wagon was struck by a freight train.  ELLIS was hurled twenty feet and 
now lies in the Bradford Street Hospital with injuries that will probably 
result in this death.  The wagon was wrecked and the horse killed.
ELLIS drives a wagon for Louis TELLER, a baker, of 1938 Pitkin avenue.  
In making his deliveries he had occasion to cross the Long Island Railroad tracks.  
A freight train was being made up and the engine was being shunted back and 
forth.  The gateman had not lowered the gates, as the train passed too often, 
at low speed.  ELLIS' right foot was so badly crushed that it was amputated 
this afternoon at Bradford Street Hospital.  His left arm was fractured and 
he also received a probable fracture of the skull.

DROWNED IN CESSPOOL HUNTING A BIRD
The body found in the cesspool in the yard of the Wick's ribbon factory in

John KARR, 17 years old, of 1640 DeKalb avenue, Brooklyn.  Sunday he left 
home with his brother to go hunting in the woods at Richmond Hill.  When 
near the factory he shot a bird and it fell in the factory yard.  He climbed 
over the fence to get it.  As he did not return his brother went into 
the factory yard to look for him.  Unable to find him he went home and 
with several friends returned and again searched for him in vain.  The 
cesspool in which the body was found is more like a pond and is surrounded 
by trees and brush, and it is believed that while searching for the bird he 
had shot he fell into the pond and was drowned.

FALLING WALL BURIES FIREMAN
Hicks Street Company Caught at Laundry Blaze and One Life is Lost
Six Others Are Hurt
Another Engine Company Has Narrow Escape
One fireman was killed and six members of the same company, Engine No.
103, were injured yesterday morning by the falling of a wall at a fire
which broke out in the boiler room in the basement of a four-story brick
building, extending from 86 to 92 Third street, owned by Edward H.
BANCKER, of 2217 Newkirk avenue, Flatbush, and occupied by the Pilgrim
Steam Laundry.  The loss is estimated at $75,000.  The one-story oval
brick ovens, with their tall chimneys, adjoining in the rear, and
fronting on Fourth street, were damaged about $3,000.

The fireman who lost his life was James W. MCCOSKER, 25 years old, of
110 North Eighth street.  The injured are:  John BLACK, 23, 590 Sixth
street, contusions, taken home; Owen WARD, 23, 337 Columbia street,
fracture of left leg, taken to Long Island College Hospital; John KELLY,
38, 91 Amity street, contusions, taken home; John FITZPATRICK, 26, 172
Hull street, fracture of right arm, removed to Long Island College
Hospital; James F. FINLAY, 24, 56 Wolcott street, fracture of left leg
and internal injuries, removed to Cumberland Street Hospital; Lieut.
John DONOVAN, contusions and lacerations, taken to his home at 657 Henry street.

The dead fireman and all those injured belonged to Engine Company 103,
with headquarters at 533 Hicks street.
Four alarms were turned in for the fire, Chief CROKER responding from
Manhattan to take charge, and Deputy Chief LALLY arriving on the second
alarm from Brooklyn headquarters.
The fire was pretty well under way above the basement floor when the
first detail of engines arrives and it was not long before the whole
interior was a seething mass, with the floors carrying down the
machinery on every story with the rapid progress of the flames.
The men of Engine 103, under orders, had mounted to the shed of a
one-story brick extension to the laundry plant, and had been at work
there less than half an hour when the rear wall began to bulge
perceptibly from the intense heat, and just as a portion of the crew of
Engine 104, of Degraw street, new Court, had been started on their way
to assist their comrades of No. 103, the wall toppled outward and
several tons of the debris falling on the extension shed and the firemen
stationed there, stove in the roof and carred the seven victims clear to
the cellar of the structure.
McCOSKER's body was crushed into an almost unrecognizable mass and at
least a ton of the fallen bricks and iron had to be removed before his
body could be reached by the rescuing party, comprising the members of
Engine 104.
Dr. CRANE, of the Long Island College Hospital; Dr. HEISER, of the
Cumberland Street, and Dr. HEWELL, of Seney Hospital, were early on the
scene with ambulances, and they took charge of the wounded.
Fireman MCCOSKER had been a member of the department nearly four years.
He was married and lived at the North Eighth street address with his
wife and four children.  The youngest child was born only two weeks ago,
and the mother was yet too ill to be informed of her husband's fate.
About 300 laundry hands and other help are thrown temorarily out of work
by the destruction of the Pilgrim plant.
The oven buildings in the rear of the larger building are owned and
operated by the New York Vitrified Tile Company.

avenue.  From there he went to the Washington place entrance of Fort
Greene Park and sat down on a bench.  He remained there, apparently in
deep thought for three hours.  Then, after writing the note to the
coroner, he pulled the revolver from his pocket and fired.  Several
women and a number of children who were near saw the old man take his life.

books.  The best known of these was his "Book of Many Men."  He owned

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY FAMILY TROUBLES
Thomas HAYWOOD, Separated from Wife, Inhales Gas and Dies
Family troubles, it is believed, led Thomas HAYWOOD, 60 years old, to commit 
suicide sometime this morning by inhaling gas in a furnished room he 
occupied at 473 Sixth avenue.
HAYWOOD was married, but separated from his wife owing to the many quarrels 
they had.  He rented a furnished room at the above address, and lived there 
by himself.  Last night he retired early, and nothing more was thought of 
him until this morning, when Chas. T. SAYA, a boarder in the house, smelled 
gas when he entered the hallway.  He immediately started to investigate, 
and traced the odor to HAYWOOD's room.  He forced the door and discovered 
HAYWOOD lying across his bed unconscious.  An ambulance was summoned from 
Seney Hospital, but Dr. HOWELL, who responded, could do nothing for him.
A letter was found on the dresser in the room addressed to a Mrs. LYNN, 
of 463 Fifth avenue, in which HAYWOOD requested her to take his trunk, 
as he did not expect to live very long after writing the letter.
The police of the Fifth avenue station were notified and the body was 
removed to the station house.  They say the case is undoubtedly one of 
suicide, and the only motive they can ascribe to the man's act is that 
he was despondent over his family troubles.

Thomas KIRKWOOD died on Thursday at his home, 106 Huron street, in his

sanitary engineers in the country.  The sanitary and drainage systems at

THREE CUT TO PIECES BY ENGINE
Fragments of Bodies Scattered Along Track for Several Hundred Feet
MEN WERE AT WORK IN N.Y. CENTRAL TUNNEL
One of the Victims Lived in Brooklyn
Without any warning, three men employed by the New York Central 
Railroad were run down and killed yesterday afternoon in the 
Park avenue tunnel, just above Fifty-six street, Manhattan, 
by a switch engine, and literally cut to pieces.  Fragments 
of their bodies were strewn along the track for several hundred 
feet, while the head of one of the men, which had been severed 
from the body, rolled toward the tunnel entrance.
The men who met their death were "bondsmen," who, with several 
others, were employed in securing the wire connections between 
the joints of the rails for the electrical power which is being 
installed.  Two of the men were at work on the rails and the other 
was a lookout, who, with a megaphone, warned them of the approach of 
trains.  It is thought that the engine which killed them came on 
so suddenly that the lookout had no time to warn the others, and, 
all becoming confused, did not jump from the track in time to 
save themselves.
The bodies of the dead and injured men were discovered by two 
inspectors of signals, who immediately informed Patrolman TOOMEY, 
of the East Fifty-first street police station.  TOOMEY called up 
the station house and the reserves were sent to the scene, where 
in a short time an immense crowd had collected.
The inside of the tunnel presented a gruesome sight.  The headless 
body of one of the men was found some distance away from the form 
of one of the others, which was crushed almost beyond recognition.  
The three bodies were taken to the signal tower, where they were 
held until Coroner SHRADY viewed them.  At the morgue they were 
identified from the pay checks found in their pockets.  The body 
of one of them was identified by Mrs. George LIBERTY as that of 
her husband, whose address is 16 Huntington street.  The other 
two victims were found to be Charles PIERSON, of 553 West 139th street, 
Manhattan, and John ULRICH, of 133 West 135th street, Manhattan.
The two other men who were also run down by the engine were taken, 
seriously injured, to the hospital, where it is said they cannot recover.
The driver of the engine, William McFARLEY, was arrested.

TWO, GRIEF STRICKEN, END LIVES WITH GAS
Mrs. WALLENTA, Surrounded by Dead Daugther's Trinkets, Inhales Deadly Fumes
Husband Returns to Find Body
Absence of Son Drives Mrs. LONG to Suicide
After distributing among the children of the neighborhood all the 
toys and playthings of her own little girl who died as the result 
of an accident two months ago, Mrs. Emma WALLENT*, 37 years old, 
the wife of an ornamental ironworker, committed suicide at her home, 
54 Tompkins avenue, yesterday, by inhaling illuminating gas.  
Before turning on the gas the unfortunate woman carefully prepared 
her shroud and laid it around her along with some trinkets cherished 
in life by her daughter.  No report of the suicide was made at the 
Vernon avenue station in which the precinct the suicide occurred and 
the first knowledge of the woman's tragic death came from the Coroner's office.
Since the death of her little girl, Lillian, 14 years old, about two 
months ago, Mrs. WALLENT had been despondent.  To her neighbors and 
friends she was known as a woman much devoted to her home and family.  
The little girl, her only daughter, fell down a flight of stairs.  
Her spine was injured as a result of the accident, and despite the 
efforts of specialists, the little one died.  The death cast gloom 
over the WALLENT homestead.  Mrs. WALLENT would sit by the window 
by the hour and fret and worry.  Her husband, fearing that the woman 
might try to do herself harm, had friends spend days with her, but 
she was not to be comforted.  On the day of the funeral she made 
the remark that she would soon follow her daughter.
The action of Mrs. WALLENT on Friday in distributing the toys and 
dolls belonging to her only child did not arouse the suspicions of 
Mr. WALLENT.  She summoned all of Lillian's former playmates and to them 
she gave the toys.  A very large doll that had been idolized by the 
little girl was given by Mrs. WALLENT to a daughter of Paul KUTSKY, 
of 56 Tompkins avenue, who sat by her playmate's bedside from the time 
of her fall almost constantly until her death.  The only things kept 
by Mrs. WALLENT were a few trinkets which had been idolized by her daughter. 
These she will take to the grave with her.
It was while her husband was at business yesterday that Mrs. WALLENT 
made the preparations for her death.  After arranging her shroud and 
placing it on the bed she put the trinkets along side the shroud, and 
then lay down to die, after placing a rubber tube, which had been
connected with a gas jet, in her mouth.  In her hand she held a 
poem written by a friend in German, in which it was stated that 
Lillian was not dead, but only sleeping.  Neighbors in the house
detected the odor of gas and began an investigation.  As they were 
about to break open the door leading into the WALLENT apartments, 
Mr. WALLENT returned from work.  In his arms he carried a number of 
packages, provisions for today's dinner.
When he opened the door leading into his apartments, WALLENT was driven out 
by the gas fumes.  He went into the bedroom, and there on the bed lay 
his wife, with the poen in her hand and the trinkets along side her body.  
He immediately summoned the family physician, Mr. Martin WEISBERGER, 
of 55 Tompkins avenue, but his call had come too late.  When he 
realized the circumstances WALLENT collapsed.  He was taken to a 
friend's home, and a watch is being kept over him, as it is feared 
he may try to follow his wife and daughter.
Brooding over the absence of a son who went West several years ago to make a

DIES POOR AS HE HAD ALWAYS LIVED
For fifty years John WALKER lived at Coney Island.  He went there poor. 
He remained poor.  He died in poverty and tomorrow the loyal Islanders 
will give him, the man that has held the record for remaining poor at the 
famous resort, a "good" burial in Evergreen Cemetery.
It is the boast of the Islanders that never a body goes out of it to Potters Field.  
Old John had not much to commend him, except his honest labor and his record 
of having lived there fifty years poor.  He was born in New York City.  When 
he struck the Island it was a waste.  Beyond a few scattered dwellings and a 
small roadhouse it was comparatively a wilderness.  The journey to Brooklyn 
was a thing to talk about for days.
John got work and remained and watched the dwelling house site bear palaces 
of pleasure and the roadhouse develop into a score of gorgeous hotels.
John, in his way, became an historian of the Island, and it was 
his delight in his latter days - he was 72 years old when he died - 
to relate stories of Coney's boom.  Some months ago Bright's disease seized him.
He died Friday at West Second street, survived by two grandchildren.
Undertaker Martin F. HEALEY, Neptune avenue and Third street has charge of 
the funeral arrangements.

WHIRLING BELT BRAINS BREWERY EMPLOYE
Man, Working at Motor, Slips on Oily Floor to Awful Death - Panic Follows
The sight of a young man caught in the belting of a powerful motor in the 
machine room of the brewery at 371 Pulaski street, whirling at terrific 
speed in a huge circle and his head and body dashing against the floor 
at every revolution caused a panic among the crowd of brewery employees today. 
The victim of the horrible mishap was Charles RECHESBACH, 21 years old, of 
126 Sumner avenue.  He was working at a large motor engine, putting on 
extra speed, when his foot slipped on the oily tin which covered the 
flooring, and he fell forward into the machine.  He put out his right 
arm to save himself and that member was caught in the whirling belting.
In a second the unfortunate man was snapped from the floor and flew around 
with the rapidly revolving belt.
The sickening thuds of the poor fellow's head and body against the floor, 
and the shower of blood and brains which flew from the flying corpse 
unnerved the strongest man in the machine room and sent the weaker 
ones into a panic.
When some cool head stopped the machinery the mangled remains of the once 
powerful young man were taken from the bloody belting and laid in a corner 
of the room.Although poor RECHESBACH was dead an ambulance was sent for.  Dr. THOMPSON, 
from the Bushwick Hospital responded. He said the brewery employe was killed 
a second after the belting caught him in its deadly grip.
