Schrell Held to Answer

New York, 1895

Henry Schrell, of Bayside, was on Tuesday held for the action of the Federal grand jury on the charge of running an illicit distillery. Schrell was in charge of the place when it blew up and he was so badly injured that he was confined in the Flushing hospital for several weeks. He did not furnish bail.


Squeezed Between Car and Post

William Connors, of Jamaica, was caught between a trolley car and a post in the car-house in Brooklyn on Wednesday. His right wrist was fractured and his body severely bruised.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, April 12, 1895, p. 8.
