MRS. GRAY’S DEATH ACCIDENTAL

Coroner Hastings has announced his findings of the inquisition relative to the death of Mrs. Mary E. Gray, who was struck by an automobile at Madison Avenue and West Lawrence Street in Albany on the evening of Nov. 30. The automobile was operated by John S. Loucks Jr. Mrs. Gray died at the Albany hospital on Dec. 5. The coroner finds that Mrs. Gray died as a result of pulmonary oedema and a fracture at the base of the skull, and from the evidence of Mr. Loucks and Rensselaer Taylor, who occupied the automobile at the time the woman was struck, and Robert W. Mead, George E. Merigold and Henry McKinstry, who arrived later, the coroner is of the opinion that Mr. Loucks exercised all the power at this command to avoid striking Mrs. Gray, and that her death was “purely accidental.”

A RETROSPECT IN HISTORY

Twenty Years Ago.

(Jan. 10, 1896)

Altamont is to have a shirt factory. The foundation is now in course of construction. The building is to be a two-story structure with a floor space of 480 square feet, thus giving ample room for the working of about 100 people. W. H. Huntington is now located at Stitts’ hotel and will be glad to be interviewed by any of our citizens.

NOTICE, PLEASE!

It will take your voice to any one of the millions of Bell telephones in New York State, in Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut — in fact, it will carry it to any one of the 9,000,000 telephones in the Bell System which is within speaking distance.

No other road in the United States is so important to you and to every other citizen. This telephone road is the road of convenience, efficiency and security, and traveling on it is simply a matter of speaking into your telephone transmitter.
