Fire destroys O P Day home and community helps
A Sheridan village correspondent reports the complete loss by fire of O P Days residence after the Noon hour. The Day family, with a pensioner father and a carpet making mother, saved little Susie Bollinger and her trunk from the blaze. A relief fund quickly grows with over 350 raised, starting at 50 from a leading citizen. The note mentions mining activity nearby, railroad surveyors, schoolhouse expansion, and local deaths, accidents, and bonds of community support.

The Murderer Executed by Electric Chair in 1890s
Ansany New York August 6 Kemmler underwent the electric chair after a trial of new execution methods. The process lasted about eighteen seconds per shock, with multiple rounds and breathing resumed between, as doctors described a torturous and controversial spectacle. The suicide-like display ended after a final four minute cycle, with Kemmler declared dead and his face showing a calm if eerie expression.
