Before 4 80 she wrote a short note bequeat g to her landlady, Mrs. Louise Gonyea few remaining trinkets. By chance the landlady went to her | lodger’'s room and discovered her ap- parently dying. An ambulance was kastily summoned and the unfortun- ate woman was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, where, after hard work by the surgeons, she was -pronounced out of danger. ° Mrs. Brittson refused to say what poison she had taken, but added that she was despondent and heartsick and that nobody in the world loved her or ®eemed to care if she lived or died. It is believed the woman has a step- son named Gaston Hillman, living on John street. —————— A dream of pleasure, the new two for quarter size American. $2 75 box 25. * ———— CHILDREN OF FREE THOUGHT SCHOOL.

This is by far the smallest deficit th e have had for quite a number of years, principally due to the fact that our receipts from donations and bequests for the year just closed bave been unprec tiy large.

The fight was pulled off in the fruit| store of bue Stomatis Polamis, at Ful- ton and Larkin streets, and within a stone’s throw of the Clty Hall police station. The classic Greek was enter- taining the wife of Harry Quigg with- out the husband’s sanction. News of the little conference was brought to the ears of Quigg and straightway he hur- ried to the scene, accompanied by his friend, Harry Lacris. The two men entered the Greek's place of business without ceremony. In a moment the battle was on. The at- mosphere was full of fists, flying fruit boxes, cabbages, oranges and sauer- kraut. The trio was still busy mixing it at a lively gait, with Mrs. Quigg or- | dering the men to break clean and re- | per resolution passed at said annual meeting, | a special meeting of the members was held on | February 7. 1004 and the amendments sub- mitted by them were adopted.

The sight of the bluecoats was like a flag of truce. The battle stopped be- fore the round was ended and the per- formers sought to make a hasty geta- way. Quigg and his friend hot-footed to the Fuiton House, a few doors away, with the police coming fast in their wake and gaining ground at each stride. The pursued managed to reach the house in safety, and then the troubles of W. W. Ackerman, the landlord, be- gan. According to the story of the offi- cers he refused to allow them to cross his threshold. The debate lasted but a few minutes, when the bluecoats gained entrance and emerged a moment later with the two fighters and the stubborn landlord. The former were locked up on charges of battery and the latter was { held on a charge of resisting an officer. | charge proportion from membership dues and dona- | tions and bequests which had previously been allotted it.

The re- sult was a catch-as-catch-can in a rough and tumble fight, in which Rob- inson got the worst of the mix-up. His next experience was at the Emer- gency Hospital, where Dr. Hill treated him for numerous contused and lace- rgted injuries to his head and for a fracture of the skull.

From the story told by Wellman .-he met ickerson early in the even- ng and the two had several drinks together. Finully they started to quarrel, and the result was that the negro drew a knife and made an as- sault. The blade cut a gash about two inches long on the left side of the neck, but the cut is not deep and the physicians at the Harbor lg - tal apprehend no serious results.

Declares That the Vietim, With Four Others, Made Attempt to Assault Him French and English Broadcloths Alviso Turchetti, a fruit dealer, fa- tally shot a sallor known as “‘George” on Pacific street, near Kearny, last night. The victim’s surname could not be ascertained by the police. According to three witnesses who | saw the shooting, Turchetti fired be- cause “George” bumped into him acci- dentally. Turchetti maintains that he | ana his brother, Salvino, were assault- | ed by flve men, among whom was | “George.” “He hit my brother,” says Tur- chetti. “I thought it was a hold-up, so I pulled my gun and fired.” “George” was taken to the Central Emergency Hospital, but he was dead when he arrived. The bullet entered the left breast near the heart and the sailor died on the way to the hospital. He lost’ consciousness the instant the shot was fired. Turchett! was arrested by Policeman Shain and taken to the City Prison. ‘When the sailor's death was reported the prisoner was booked on a charge of murder. He declares that he acted in_self-defense. He and Salvino Turchetti had just seen another brother off to Keswick, he says. As they were walking along Pacific street, near Kearny, they were assaulted by flve men. Fearing that they were being held up Turchetti fired. This statement is contradicted by ihree of the men who were with the sailor at the time. They say the sailor accldentally bumped agalnst Turchetti, whereupon the fruit dealer drew a re- volver and fired. The men who saw the affair are T. Webster, L. J. Vierich and J. Steward. “George” formerly worked on the Strathgryfe. None of the men on the | vessel knew his full name.

A. Clotter and George Duffy, col- ored firemen on the battleship Ohio, were yesterday found in a room in the Prescott House, 933 Kearny street that was filled with gas. Clotter was al- ready dead. Duffy was in an uncon- scious condition and was hastily re- moved to the Central Emergency Hos- pital. His condition appears to be be- yond medical aid. Clotter’s body was removed to the Morgue. The two men engaged a room about 10 o'clock Saturday night. Shortly afterward one of the men went out, but when he returned is not known. About 7 o'clock yesterday morning Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, who occupied the ad- joining room, heard the men talking. This was the last heard of them. As Burke Kaufman, the porter, was passing he detected the odor of gas opened the door and then immediately notified N. E. Moore, manager of the house. While Kaufman ran to summon the police Moore discovered that Duffy was still breathing. He pulled him out of the bed and into the hall, after turn- ing off the gas. Detective Bailey and Deputy Meehan made an investigation of the room and both are satisfled that the gas had been aceidentally turned on. —_————————— KNIGHTS OF THE GRIPSACK TO GAMBOL AT MAJESTIO ".\lorosco's Players to Give a Bene@d Friday Evening for United Commercial Travelers.
