“TRIED TO DROWN FROM FERRYBOAT Man Supposed to Be a South Street Ship Broker Leaped “Into the Bay, but He Was Rescued. 4N THE WATER FIVE MINUTES Ward of Arthur Blackburn & Son, Ship Brokers, Found in Man’ Pocket—Hospita!l Doctors Believ He WIIl Recover. Arthur W. Blackburn, a South street ship broker, leaped from the South Brooklyn ferry-boat South Brooklyn Into the bay opposite Erle Basin to-day, and, after being in the water nearly five minutes, was rescued, resuscitated and taken fo the Norwegian Hospital. It is belleved that he will recover, He refused to give fils name when he re- covered consclousness, but his identity fs admitted at his ‘boarding-house, No. 578 Fifty-first street, Brooklyn. The only witness to the attempted sulclde were Mr. C. BY? Roberts, oa broker at No. 40 Wall street, and the pilot of the tugboat Twin Brothers, which was passing down the bay a few rods from the ferry-boat when the man jumped. Mr. Roberts did not go into the cabin wien the boat left the Thirty- ninth street pier, but walked up and down the upper deck. Opposite Erle Basin a man came out of the cabin and accosted Mr. Roberts, asking him where his offico was in New York. Mr. Roberts replied in Wall street, “Do you go up South street?” asked the stranger. Mr, Roberts replied that he did. not. The stranger hesitate a moment and |, then walked away. Mr. Roberts con- tinued his promenade on the deck. Suddenly the stranger took off his overcoat and threw it into the pilot- house. Then he leaped over the rail into the water, striking feet first. After floundering a moment he sank from view. The ferry-boat was stopped apd a boat tra \gwered, but in the mean time the tug- boat had reached the spot where the do%man went down. Members of the crew Qgunk grappling trons and succeeded in teri};inging up the unconscious | would-be air. jutctde, 4 Qu gnergetic work brought the man Mr.dround before the tugboat got back to elfne, Thirty-ninth street slip. An am- pulance was summoned from the Nor- ing. vegian Hospital, and hé was registered Mk. mere as unidentified. He had cards in Yeshis pocket reading: “Arthur 8, Black- burn & Son, ship brokers, No. 45 South Juy street.” S Il-health and losses caused by the 1! coal strike drove Mr. Blackburn to at- tempt to end his Ife. He has been in the ship brokerage business in South street for twenty years and is well known in shipping circles. He, left his boarding-house at his usual timo this morning and gave no, intimation that he contemplated ‘killing himself. It Is be- Heved that his action was not premedi- fated, (but, that a sudden | Impula coupled with the fact that the ferry= boat deck was practically deserted, caused him to throw himself into the x erg a ‘water. "FLAT TENANTS WILL ©. NOT BE EVICTED. 4 “ Sixty Families Got Dispossess Notices, but It Was All Due to a Misunderstanding. ‘The court-room of the Seventh Mu- Melpal Court was crowded the pixty ten of the fi Nos. 147, 149, 151 and- 153 EB ty fourth street, who were served with dis- possess notices, although their rents, ‘were pald. From the lawyers in court It seemed that the difference was due to a mis- understanding between the owner of the property, Mrs, Frank Herter, and the lessee, Bruno €, Rothenberg. It ap- peared that the iast two weeks’ rent was collected by Rothenberg, and Mrs, Herter did not receive it. The lawyer representing the lessee asked for an ad- journmnt, but Ellas 8. Levy, who repre- wented Mrs. Herter, objected. The rent from Nov, 10 to Dec. 1 had been pad by the térants, and all that remained for to the owner. The umount of the rental do $1,083. “I shall give you judgment for the amount due,” said Judge Herman Joseph, who was presiding, “and stay the warrant of dispossession until: to- morrow at noon.” The counsel for Rothenberg promised to have the money at Lawyer Levy's office by noon to-morréw, and thus: the evacuation of the four buildings by thé tenants will not be necessary. i Police-Capt. Lantry, In whose precinot the houses are situated, sat with, Jus- tice Joseph on the bench during the hearing. He intends to bave men on the. scene to avert trouble in case the warrants are served. , ——_ MADE ILL BY TURKEY.
