PLATT, DIPLOMAT | L e LEVIES AN ASSESSMENT AND THEN ESCAPES THE STORM. SR A Every Member of the Aristocratic Organization Must Come TUp With Forty-Five Dollars for Luxuries. N To-day there will be posted in the Paci- fic Union Club a pleasant little notice tell- ing the members that each one, separate- ly and individually, must come up with $45 in order to comply with an assessment that has lately been decided upon so that the club may pay off some of the $17,000 indebtedness that it now staggers along under. The lability consists of outstanding debts contracted for a variety of causes, and the assessment is due to the influ- ence of Horace G. Platt, president of the club, who ordered the ante, and then real- izing what he had done, escaped on last night's overland for New York, where he will remain until the storm his action will arouse has had time to subside. It is peculiar, but none the less a fact, that the willingness of a man to part with his shekels cannot be measured by the number of shekels he is possessed of. It might be reasonably supposed that the very wealthy would be more ready to part with a dollars than those to whom a few dollars are a great many. But the howl that will arise to-day when the no- tice shall have been read will demon- strate that such is not the case. The rich man loves the long green as fondly as his less fortunate neighbor, and to no one is this better known than to Mr. Platt, He realized that something had to be <d;mr= to square the outstanding accounts the club, and he also realized that, while all were in favor of the good things of ufe, all were not so ready to “cough up” for the luxuries they enjoyed. There was but one course, then, open to him. Using his influence for alf it was worth with the board of directors, he got the order through in proper shape and then levanted to wait until the clouds should roll by. The order will come In the nature of a surprise to most of the members of the | aristocrauc organization, and when they congregate around the bulletin board to- night there will be opinlons expressed of the oruer and their absent president which will be a liberal education in invec- tered the wnglish language in all its hf‘uu: tisul and expressive flexibility of detail. Inhaled Carbon Monoxide. Thomas Powell, a laborer, engaged a room in the Standard House, 179 Fourth street, about 3 o’clock yesterday morning and about noon he was found unconscious in bed with the gas turned onl. He was | taken to the Receiving Hospital, where he was soon brought out of danger. He was drunk when he engaged the room and had accidentally turned on the gas when retiring. e —— DIES OF HIS INJURY. Francois Bachow Succumbs to What ‘Was Thought to Be a Slight Wound. What was considered but a slight wound on the head of Francois Bachow, an em- ploye in a tripe factory at Butchertown, led to his death at the French Hospital yesterday. Bachow, with some others of his mcquaintance, were celebrating New Year's night in Butchertown, when two men got into a fight over some trifiing matter. He attempted to separate them, when he was hit on the head with a rock, receiving a slight lacerated wound of the scalp, which was dresses a physician, So slight was the injury that Bachow attended to his daily work until ten davs ago, when he complained of pains in the k of his head. He was sent to_ the French Hospital for treatment. While there he had frequent attacks of spasms, which eventually resulted in his death. The body was removed to the Morgue, where an autopsy was held by Dr. Le- | land, who found the brain badly contused. Bachow was unmarried and reside 1333 Fifth avenue south. He was about 15 years of age and of a qulet disposition. The police are looking for the man who threw the rock. ———— FUNERAL OF T. U. SWEENY.

ROW OVER A ONE MAN'S LIFE James Gleeson Shot in the Heart. TRYING TO STOP A FIGHT SHOOTING OCCURRED IN STAN- LEY’S GROTTO, TURK STREET. . The Woman Was Quarreling With a Comparnion, When Another Man Interfered to Help Her. o S James O'Nefl Gleeson, a bartender, was shot and killed about midnight last night in Stanley’s Grotto, a resort located at the corner of Market and Turk streets. The murderer escaped and the detectives are scouring the city in an effort to ap- prehend him. His identity is known, and it is believed that it will be only a ques- tion of a short time until he will be placed behind the bars, as it is almost impossible for him to leave the city. Last night shortly before 12 o'clock a woman named Minnie Hamilton, well known in the tenderloin district, and a companion entered box 7 of the grotto, which is located in the basement of the building. The woman’'s companion is sup- posed to be a friend of the proprietor of the house. The couple remained in the box for a few moments, during which they ordered refreshments. A dispute arose and the woman was heard to apply vile epithets to her companion. She final- ly commenced to scream and rushed from the room pursued by the man who had entered with her. The two passed through several hall- ways and ran into a parlor in the place in which several persons were seated. The woman begged for assistance, and a man who is known as her constant companion and protector jumped from his seat and turned upon tile newcomer in the room. A struggle ensued and lasted for a few seconds, when the bartender of the plac | James Gleeson, better known as “Nealy,” attempted to separate the combatants. The affair then became three-handed, and after a few moments more the Hamilton woman's friend, who had interfered in her behalf, darted out of the door into a hall- way. He was followed by the two men | and turning short on them, at the same | time drawing a revolver, s. : “‘Stand back or I'll shoo Almost simultaneously with the warning a shot rang out and the bartender dropped to the floor. A bullet had struck him di- rectly in the center of the breast and had reached his heart. The murderer then made a daring and successful attempt to escape. He dashed hatless up a winding stairs which leads | to th Turk-street entrance of the place | while bystanders and witnesses to the | tragedy were too surprised and dum- | founded to interfere. When they reached | the street a short time afterward no trace | could be found of the man. | Among those who were present in the room were two musicians. Both agree | upon the paruculars of the affray, but claim they did not see the actual shoot- ng. | After the murderer had become a fugi- | tive the woman who caused the trouble | and her companion who occupied the box | with her left the place before the police, who were attracted by the shot, could ap- ear on the scene. The ambulance was astily summoned and the injured man was started on a journey to the Receivin Hospital. Before the wagon had reache its destination, however, he was dead, and his body was later removed to the Morgue. Officers Joy, Ring and Harrigan and | Sergeant Sha~ were detailed on the case. | The Hamilton woman resides somewhere on Mission street, and the first step taken was to locate her. A description of the man who committed the crime was furnished the officers, and they expect to Glee- son, the murdered man, was about 26 years of age and was a brother-in-law of Stanley, the proprietor of the resort.

SORRY PLIGHT FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR Police Vigilance Relaxed Only to the Extent of Ganting a Few Concessions.

The theaters have been closed in accordance with custom, and they will not open afinin until Tuesday morning or the first ax of festivities.
