New York, 1895
The Maple Grove Cemetery report quite a steady increase of interments there this year over last, but as the board of health returns from New York and neighboring cities do not show any greater death rate than former years, in fact, for 1895 so far it has been somewhat less than the average, the increased number of burials at Maple Grove is undoubtedly occasioned by it becoming better known and appreciated by those who are obliged to patronize cemeteries. Maple Grove certainly has many advantages in its location over some of the larger and older cemeteries, and its grounds are admirably adapted for a beautiful burial place.

Mary Wiley Will Get Damages
New York, 1895
Testimony was taken Monday morning in the circuit court before Justice Kellog and a jury as to the extent of the damages sustained by Mary Wiley, a 12-year-old child, in a railroad accident at Jamaica some years ago. The girl's legs were cut off by a train belonging to the Long Island railroad company. She began suit through her father, John Wiley, as guardian ad litem to recover $50,000. The case was brought to trial before Justice Brown at circuit and the plaintiff was non-suited. The general term reversed this decision and sent the case back for a new trial. Instead of going throuh a long trial, Lawyer Beecher, for the defendant, stipulated for judgment absolute if the Court of Appeals should uphold the general term and took the case up. The Court of Appeals did uphold the general term and the case was sent back to circuit for the assessment of damages.
The jury awarded $12,000 damages.
