The illumination of Greater New York as the principal event of the week's celebration of the two hundred and fif- tleth anniversary of the Incorporation of the municipality, which was success. fully carried out last night at the sug- gestion of The World, proved to be pos- sibly the widest and the most brilliant Gisplay the city has ever seen. It was estimated that fully 10,000,000 lights were buralng in New York be- tween 7.30 and -11 o'clock last night. And the {Ilumination was not confined to New York. Across the river, in New Jersey, myriads of lights shone In warm congratulation to Father Knicker- bocker.' In the harbor many private yachts were brightly lighted with strings of incandescent lights, which extended from the forepeaks to the top of the masts, back and down to the flagpost. Many of these yachts displayed lights fm red, white and blue, and some de- signed fixed pleces for display. The gcene off the club-house of the Colum- bia Yacht Club, at the foot of West Bighty-sixth street, was particularly pretty: a, dozen palatial steam yachts ing ‘illuminated, while their wealthy owners entertained friends aboard. City Hall Park was a brilliant oasis in the tong Ine of light into which Broadway was transformed. The build- ings surrounding the park were ligited in every window, and, for the finst time in its history, every ‘light in the Post- Office Building was turned on. ‘The ancient and pleturesque City Hall beamed light from every door and win- dow. The city kept open house. A con- stant stream of people poured in and out of the building, while outside the park walks and ‘the streets were ‘erowded with people who had left lights burning in the windows of their homes to come downtown to see the greater Mlumination, It was estimated that fu‘ly 50,000 per- fons crowded into City Hall Bark io see the Ughts and w he stereopticon display, which pic the growth of the city. Central Park, Mount Morris Park and Manuattan Park were also crowded. In place there was a band concert, besides the {lumination, WOMAN WHO SOUGHT DEATH IS A MYSTERY. She Was Found in Mercer Stree Ai.r She Had Swallowea Carbolic Acid, Mystery surrounds the Identity of a neatly dressed woman who is dying in Bellevue Hospital after taking car- bolic acid on the steps of the house et No. 196 Mercer street. The physi- clans have worked in vain in an erfort to cevive her long enough to learn her name. Policeman Comboy, of the Mercer strect station, saw her sitting on the Bieps, but paid no attention to her until ho saw her fall forward. When he went to her assistance he smelled carbolic acid. An empty vial lay at her side, An ambulance was called from St. Vincent's Hospital, but the woman was unconscious when Dr. Brady came. She was taken to Bellevue, There was noth- ing to show her Identity. she was plainly deessed but neatly, and her face was drawn as if by lon suffering. She wore a black dress an her hair is black, with streaks of gray. BODY FOUND IN ERIE BASIN. ‘That of a Mun with Delaware and Lavkawanna Billsheods in Pocket. The crew of Police Launch No. 2 found the body of a well dressed, mid- @ie-aged man floating in Erie Basin to- day. The body was five feet eight inches tall, Weighed 175 pounds. There was a bristling, sandy mustache and the head fo elightly bald, The clothing consists of a blue waistcoat, striped trousers blue and white shirt.

DEATH FOR ALL OTHERWISE. Had Air Lec Been Opened the Wa- ter Would Have Rushed In and Overcome Fiftem Workers; by Prompt Actlon Brady Rescued All. Facing death by drowning when the roof of the tunnel boring under the North River gave way, Supt. Brady saved the lives of himself and fourteen workmen by awing them with a revol- ver and threatening to kill the first man who attempted to escape. ‘The northern tube of the Hudson River| tunnel has been bored from the foot of Fifteenth street, Jersey City, to point within 350 feet of the Manhattan shore, near Morton street, Brady was looking for trouble at thar point, as the excavation was going through an inse- oure stratum of shale. He warned the men that when the brea came their duty would be to help tamp the aperture. Finally the boring shield hi tion of rock and loosened it s water came gushing into the hole.’ The Italians, penned in a nar- row airtight compartment, saw th ahéad of them and made a dash for the door. To have opened it would have allowed the compressed alr, with a pressure of 38 pounds to the squaro inch, to escape, and the suction would have caused an inrush of water that would have drowned all hands before they could reach safety. Brady drew his revolver and threat- ened to kill the first man that onened the door, Then he stuffed his hat, coat and ‘waistcoat into the break and called on the men to assist nlm. Cowed by his weapon, they obeyed and helped tamp the opening, while one of their number telephoned for more air pressure and a carload of sawdust bags. Not a man was allowed to leave ce ‘ment until the repairs had been made and the weakened roof supported with jacks, “It was a moment when to have lost one's head would have meant death to all of us,” sald Brady. “I would cer- tainly have shot down the first man that attempted to open the door, ahd I would ‘have shot in self-defense.” The men were sore at first, but they realize now that I knew what'I was doing.” AUTOMOBILE TRIES TO CLIMB A STATUE. After Cavorting About In the Park It Hurls Its Occu- pants Out. An automobile, beyond the contro! of {ts driver, dashed into the Statue of, Commerce near the entrance to Central Park at Bighth avenue and Fifty-ninth street early to-day. At Roosevelt Hos- pital the two occupants described them- selves as Cornellus Beck, No. 48 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, and Simeon Gaunt, No, 619 West Oné Hun- dred and Twenty-third street, Neither was serfously infured and both went home after having their bruises dressed. The men were on thelr way home and decided to go through the park. As they left Eighth avenue and whirled into the park something went wrong with the steering gear. The machine left the road and dashed into the monu- ment. A policeman saw the accident and ran to help the men. who were lying on the ground. The auto was badty smashed. An ambulance was called and the two men were taken to Roosdvelt Hospital. Beck. was most seriously injured, having re- celved a dislocation of ‘the left etioulder. Gaunt was only shaken up and brused, BREMERTON PEOPLE GIVE IN. Town Council Bows to Federal Edict and Saloons Will Go.

WITH A PISTOL. Divorced Wife of Assistant U. S. Attorney-General Day Fired at Man Who Says He Is Her Common-Law Husband. WARNED HIM TO KEEP AWAY. Division of Estate Left by Mrs. Day's Father Depends on Ques- tlon of Her Marriage, and She Denies It Absolutely. URBANA, Ill, May 27.—This city is greatly excited over a shooting which Involves several of its most prominent families. Mrs. Susan Day, divorced wife of William A. Day, who was recently appointed Assistant Attorney- General of the United States, fired four shots at Dr, Charles A. Nichols as he was approaching her house, and she says he fired back at her, but the facts do not seem to bear her out. Dr. Nichols has claimed that he and Mre, Day are man and wife through a common-law marriage agreement in Louteville, Ky., in 184. The division of considerable property left to Mrs. Day by her father, the late Eli Halberstadt, depends upon the question of their marriage. Mrs. Day, since this com- plication came up, has denied that she is now or ever was the wife of Dr. Nichola, and she warned him to keep away from her home. He obeyed this warning until last night, when he approached the house. When forty feet away Mrs. Day opened fire on him, discharging four shots. He immediately retreated. Waen questioned about the affray she said Dr. Nichols ‘had fired several shots at her. but this could not be substantiated. Dr, Nichols Has produced a mass of evidence tend- ing to show that he and Mra, Day lives together as man and wife for several years. ——— TO AID PERSECUTED JEWS.
