MRS. FRENCH, INVENTOR, DEAD.
Remarkable Woman Had Patented
Thirty-Six Devices.

A special to the New York Tribune dated
from Rochester, N. Y, says: Mrs. Bridget
French died last night at her home in this
city, aged seventy-two years. She was
the inventor of thirty-six devices, holding
patent papers for them, the most impor-
tant Of which was the French burglar
proof lock, which Is said to be the first
contrivance of the kind to- be produced in
this country, and which laid the founda-
tion for the modern complicated safety
locks now in general use in banks and
private residences. Mrs. French was a re-
markable woman, with a genius for me-
chantcal devices and the skill of a trained
artisan in developing her Ideas She work.
ed regularly in her own shop. and could
handle mechanics implements with all the
facility Of a man.
Mrs. French was born in Queens county,
Ireland, in 1880. and when twenty years
old came to this country, settling in
Rochester. Her first successful invention
was a steam sterilizer, which has attained
wide use. From mechanics she turned her
attention to patent medicine, and originated
q number of remedies. Then she devised a
stovepipe damper with a vent in it. a SIM
pie affair, which allowed gases to pass up
ward instead of backing into the stove and
spreading through the room. Next she con-
trived patent car coupler and funnel
with sieve attachment, and her latest
work was a fiber chimney Her most inn
portant device, the burglar-proof lock.
brought her good profits and considerable
fame At the time of her death she was at
work on several other inventions

THE TRESTLE COLLAPSED
Six Men Badly Hurt at PHILADELPHIA
New Filtration Plant

SIX men were badly hurt yesterday by the
collapse Of a trestle at the city's new fill
tration plant in course of construction for
the city at Torresdale. a suburb Of Phila-
delphia. The injured:
John ]. Sullivan. aged forty, foreman car
penter. of New York.
Jas. F. Higgins, aged thirty-three car
penter. New York.
VIM. Kirk. aged thirty-seven. bridge
builder. New York.
James Fernan, aged thirty-four, bridge
builder. New York.
ID. r. Bryan. aged thirtyive, laborer,
Philadelphia
Philip Coyle. aged twenty-nine, carpenter
Philadelphia.
James Danston, laborer. Philadelphia
All of the injured men excepting Dam
ston were at work on the trestle. Danston
was working with about forty other la
borers beneath the structure and it is re-
garded as miraculous that his companions
escaped injury.
The trestle was being built and the acei-
dent was caused by a weak support which
gave way, resulting in the collapse of the
superstructure, which in falling carried the
workmen 10 the ground.
Danstons injuries are comparatively
slight. but all Of the others were injured
Internally besides sustaining broken bones

RECEIVER ISSUES SUMMONS
Investigation Of Affairs of London and
Globe Finance Corporation.

The official receiver announces that hs
has issued summons against Whitaker
Wright and Robert Leman to recover $50.
600 in connection with share transactions
between the British-America Corpora ton
and the failed London and Globe Finance
Corporation, limited. In the same report
the receiver says that for the present It is
not proposed to prosecute the directors OF
the London and Globe Company for mis-
feasance.
The city, however, is displaying the deep
est interest in the London and Globe group
q companies, and the demand that the
public prosecutor act is increasingly in
sistent. A special petition has been circu-
lating on the stock exchange, signed by
many influential men, dema nding the prose-
cution of Whitaker Wright, as II is con-
sfdered that the credit of the city and the
stock exchange demands q thorough inves-
tigation of the London and Globe methods
OF finance. Probably the full extent of the
money lost to the public by the company
Will never be known, but financial experts
now estimate 1t at upward of 500 900 OO0
The fiotations for which Wright was re-
enormous capital of Sill 10000 and with
few exceptions all these companies are
either in liquidation, have been absorbed
or are defunct. What the shareholders will
recover from the crash may be imagined
from the announcement that the creditors
OF the London and Globe will receive only
8 per cent and that nothing remains for
the shareholders.
The compulsory liquidation of the London
and Globe Finance Corporation, limited was
ordered on October 80. 1901.
