A SAD ACCIDENT.
Little Girl Fall into a Tub and Was Drowned.
A sad accident occurred yesterday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William W. Gosper, who live five miles west of Cortland on the road towards Groton City. Their youngest child, Grace Eletha, aged 10 months, fell into a tub of water and was drowned before the accident was discovered.
Mrs. Gosper was busy getting dinner shortly before 2 o'clock. The little girl and an older sister were playing about the kitchen and upon the steps. Just back of the kitchen is a room where the water runs from a spring upon the hillside some distance from the house, and which is arranged for cooling and keeping milk. When Mrs. Gosper went to this room to get cream for the dinner and only a few minutes after the children had been playing about her in the kitchen, she noticed what she at first thought was a piece of cloth floating upon the water. Upon closer investigation it proved to be the little girl's dress. She had evidently fallen into the water while trying to get the ball with which she had been playing. The little one had not been away from her mother more than five or six minutes, but life was already extinct. Dr. Edson was called, but nothing could be done to revive her.
Coroner Moore, who was notified of the accident, visited the place this morning and decided that no inquest was necessary. Funeral services will be held at the home Saturday morning and burial will be made at McGrawville.

HOT FOR THE CRIMINALS.
An Effort to Extend the Bertillion System All Over the United States.
ALBANY, Aug. 11.—The state department of prisons authorities state that a representative of Chief McClusky of the detective bureau of New York will be in town in a few days to confer on the scheme of Superintendent of State Prisons Collins, to make the bureau of criminal records taken under the Bertillion system in his department, the central bureau for the entire United States, and to secure the adoption of the system by the police and prison authorities in every other state of the nation.
Superintendent Collins says that the experience of the past three years in the use of the Bertillion system in this state has resulted in driving hundreds of criminals to other states. To drive them from the country it will be necessary to establish a general scheme of identification with a central bureau where the records and photographs of all criminals shall be kept.
