London reports an undercurrent of cabinet uneasiness amid rumors of a Turkish crisis. The unrest is linked to alleged Russian plots and aggressive statements, with proclamations fueling fears of broader European conflict. News notes wrecks near Rochester and Sodus Point, a jailhouse case in Newport, and a Porto Rico governor appointment.
Fragmented report notes a coroner's jury investigating a distressing case at Pring Hill involving a woman described as Strange Dermot.

The report references Wyoming Seminary and local shops in Kingston Pa.
A Northern Central passenger wreck occurred north of here when train 18 derailed after a broken coupling and washed-out track following a wet spell.
