body Of a well dressed woman was
found on the tracks of the Elgin, Jo-
liet and Eastern railroad early to-
day near Wayne, ILL.,, under circum-
stances which mad the coroner sus-
pect a murder had been committed.
Workmen at stock farm about a
quarter of mile away assert they
heard screams from that direction af-
ter an interurban car from Chicago
had passed. This gave rise to the
suspicion that the woman was mur-
dered and placed on the tracks. The
woman's purse is missing and the
only mark Of Identification found is
on bracelet, which is engraved from

piled part of the city. They paid
about $500, 600 for it. Soon after they
made contract with the mayor and
comptroller and auditor, selling it to
the city for $1,5oo,OOO By this time
Mr. Gaynor had accumulated some
money in his profession and could
spend some. He brought taxpayers
suit to prevent the carrying out of the
contract He gave all the facts, show
ing it to be, as he said, "a spoliation
of the funds of the city, The court
contest aroused the public to the high
est interest Mr. Gaynor won through
all the courts 1t was year of hard
work, with every powerful political
and financial interest against him.
First they laughed at his suit. But
he only grew more silent and grim and
worked harder and harder. The fraud
was killed, and he paid4a11 the expense,
amounting to $4,000 He next took
proceedings and compelled the city Of
fcials to collect the millions Of ar
rears of taxes from the elevated rail-
roads. The members of the ring had
large holdings in them, given for their
influence, and protected them. He
took similar proceedings to expose the
30 called Columbian frauds and pre-
vented the fraudulent bids from being
paid He did other similar things.
His activity was marvellous. The COM
mon saying was that he heard every
pin fall in the city and that nothing
escaped his attention
A mayoraIty election was now COM
ing on in Brooklyn Every one turned
toward Mr.. Gaynor. Honest people
wanted him for mayor. The politicians
sneered and said: -EThat is it., That is
what he has been after all along. We
will see him as a self seeker" A great
meeting was held in the Academy of
Music, which named him for mayor
But he would not run. He said no one
would ever be able to say that the pub
lie services he had rendered were with
a view to get into Office He was even
touchy about it. And that characters
tic manifested itself in the many times
he had been asked to be a candidate
for governor and mayor. Another was
nominated instead.
Later he was nominated for justice
of the supreme court He wrote, de-
c1ining. But leading citizens induced
him to run to help the city ticket, the
city being part of the ten counties
making up the judicial district. There
was'a majority the other way of about
10000 in the district, and the ring ma
jority in the city was about 5000 in
past elections. But Mr.. Gaynor was
elected by a majority of over 10000,
and the ring was as badly beaten in
the city. It never again got back into
power. It was broken for good, and
Brooklyn became a part of New York
city a few years later.

empty, and every hotel and saloon had
a license, and they were made to re
spect the Sunday law. The town was
Cleaned up
In a year Mr.. Gaynor resigned his
Office. His work was done. He made
the police force respect the law and
not do as it liked. He tried to teach
the came lesson to the 10000 police
men of the city Of New York. They
we're not permitted to do any unlawful
violence. He taught them and the
community that 1.-The way to enforce

Soon afterward Mr.. Gaynor moved
into Brooklyn, then and for many
years under the control of Boss Nc
Laughlin. The politicians distrusted
him. He did not court them, but went
his way. The ring quietly bought up
a private water company which sup

came from, but somehow got the i'm
preston that he came either from
Pennsylvania or Nova Scotia He was
a hard student, and often worked over
his books late into the night : Never
theless he was the sort who could and
would take time from his studies to in
dulge in a social chat, and many an
evening dropped into his room to
smoke pipe and talk things over with
him. ~
although he struck me as a young
man of strong personality and more
than average ability, I never imagined,
of course, that some day he would be
mayor of the greatest city on this hem
isphere. But as 1 look back on it now,
it seems that I might have guessed
something of the sort if l had been
anything of prophet For example,
one thing that remains in my memory
is the way in which young Gaynor al
ways talked of big things, of great
achievements. He was then practicing
law, and it seemed to me that he had
a better clientele, a more profitable
business, than the average young law
yer fresh from the country Still he
wasn't. satisfied, and he seemed to
think that his energies were cramped
and confined in Boston. He was al
ways talking of New York and of the
opportunities he believed were there
for young man of energy and abil-
ity.
GAS well as can remember it was
the latter part of 1873 that he called
me into his room one night and pointed
to his trunk that was already half
packed We'll, Ed he remarked, with
a smile, I'm getting ready to leave
Boston. Pm going to try my luck in
New York or Brooklyn At first I
could hardly believe it. I wanted to
know why he was going away when
his affairs were beginning to prosper.
He waved it all aside airfly and said,
with a certain tone of resolution, that
he felt sure he could make greater

visit the old farm on which he and his
hood.
There were thirteen brothers and sis
tiers raised on this farm and school
ed'' at a quaint little one story school
house long mile from the farm.
This little schooIhouse remains just
as it was forty years ago, except that
it is now annually painted and kept
in repair, whereas in former days it
was innocent of paint, and not infre-
quently the snow and rain fell upon
the heads of the pupils or upon their
old fashioned desks because of a bro
ken pane or leaky roof. There is only
one room in the schoolhouse Today
the children of Ed Herthum, present
owner of the old Gaynor homestead,
. are pupils of the old schoolhouse. Ed
Herthum's father bought the farm
buildings, stock and 100 acres of land
of Mayor Gaynor's father forty odd
years ago.
To the old place Judge Gaynor paid
a visit every summer, spending three
or four hours talking over his boyhood
days and invariably doing a certain lit
tie stunt as gleefully as a child There
stands in the farmyard a huge bowlder
upon which the Gaynor children used
to crack nuts and play Indian scout"
hands shading eyes which peered into
the far distant Mohawk valley, or do
ing 'tcircus act'' on one leg and with
outstretched arms
"'The judge never came here but
what he climbed on that bow1der and
did some of the old stunts for the
amusement Of my kids" said Mr.. Her
thum. HE never came to the old
place without som ething in his pockets
for the kids, and he roamed over the
farm where he declared the happiest
of his days were spent.
''None Of my present neighbors re-
members the time when the Gaynors
lived here, but one of the judges old
schoolmates, James Mahar, moved to

Whites bOro some time ago, SO that it is
the farm and not the neighbors the
judge came to see.
"I never saw a man so stuck on his
old home as Judge Gaynor was, and
to see him cracking nuts and pirouet-
ting on that old bowlder was as good
as a circus. There is no church within
miles Of here even now, and there
wasn't in the Gaynor days, so, al
though the Gaynor children got their
schooling near here, they had not the
advantage of church or clergy unless
they drove to Oriskany."
Made His Debut In Boston.
Mr.. Gaynor made his debut as a
lawyer in Boston. At that time he
was just twenty-one years of age and
had gone to Boston from hfs fathers
farm in New York. There he had edu-
Gated himself and had started tea ching
school when he was only nineteen
years old.
Meanwhile he was studying law, and
he finished his law studies and passed
