INDEX Shot Himself During the Night While on Duty in Factory. G. Helns, 40 years old, of 163 East Eighty ninth street, the night watchman for F. Mohr furniture manufacturers at 41 and 43 Elizabeth street, committed suicide during the night by shooting himself. Helns had been employed by the firm three weeks.

He drank considerable and had been threatened with discharge, but promised to reform. This morning at 6.30 o'clock an employe of the firm went to the shop and found the door locked. He looked through the window and saw Helns lying on the floor. Policeman Mahoney, who was notified. found that the door was barricaded with a chair.

He effected an entrance through au adjoining Heins' body was cold. He was stretched out in a position that showed he had lain down before killing himself. Beside him was a .38 caliber revolver. He had shot himself over the right ear. The watchman's clock, which Heins was supposed to ring once an hour, it was found, had been missed twice.

The police think that Heins may have taken a drink and forgotten the clock and in his desperation killed himself. Heins, it is understood, was married and had a large family. MANY COMPLAINTS OF DRIVERS. They Demand Money to Remove Garbage Quinn Says Practice Must Stop. Deputy Street Cleaning Commissioner Quinn has received many complaints recently from citizens claiming that drivers of wagons for the collection of garbage and ashes demand money before they will remove refuse that is placed on the street for collection.

In speaking of the matter to day, the Deputy Commissioner said: "The practice Is one that must be stopped. For some time past I have been aware of It, and have used every means at my command to detect those who reBort to it. I have succeeded in catching a few of this class, and have dealt out severe punishment to them. I am certain, however, that the major portion of the offenders have yet to be found. Citizens who are outraged in this way will do me a great service if they will assist me in stopping the practice.

Every driver and cart in this department has a number, and if they will give me the number of the driver, as well as the number of the cart in his charge, where money has been demanded as a condition precedent to the removal of garbage and ashes, I will put the man out of the department at once. Citizens would do well to remember, however, that ashes and garbage must be placed in separate receptacles. "I think it is hardly Decessary for me to say that drivers in this, department have no right to demand money from citizens for the removal of ashe3 and garbage. They are paid to do this by the city, and if they think their remuneration is not sufficient, let them resign. Every day I am besieged with requests by citizens of all parties and clergymen of all denominations, urging employment In behalf of deserving men.

Only a few days ago Governor Roosevelt wrote me in this connection in behalf of an old soldier. I do not propose to have tlackmallers and extortioners In this department, when there are honest and deserving men only too anxious to take their places." MANUAL TRAINING WILL OPEN. Statement That the School Will Not Be Ready for Sessions on Monday Unfounded. A statement has been given currency that the Manual Training High School, at Court and Livingston streets, would not be open on Monday morning, and the sessions would be postponed indefinitely. From the positive statements of Principal Charles D.

Larkins and Deputy Superintendent Ross of the Building Department of the Board of Education, and from the observations of the Eagle reporter, this morning, it rnay be announced that this school will not only open for regular sessions at 9 o'clock on Monday morning, but that it will start off with an organization that will make the term's work actually begin at the stroke of tho bell, without the loss of a minute. During the summer extensive repairs have been made in the accommodations of the school. In the older building at the corner of Court and Livingston streets, new stairways and floors have been put in throughout. Metal ceilings have been placed in all the rooms, and the entire establishment of four floors has been painted. Two of the rooms have been enlarged by the taking down of obstructing partitions, a new system of electric lightning has been installed in the basement (the forge room), and the.

plumbing has been put In as good condition as possible. The fire escapes have been strengthened and enlarged, and the whole equipment has been placed in good condition. In the building across the street little could be done, except the placing of new fire escapes, but such things as were possible to better tho condition of these temporary quarters of the Manual Training High schools have been attended to. There are now on the roll 840 pupils. The seating accommodations provide for 750, but Principal Larkins says that he will, as he has in the past, contrive some means of taking care of all who apply to take the course.

Nellie Kelly, a comely young woman whose home is on Hamilton avenue, near Fourteenth street, fainted at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon on Joralemon street, almost opposite the Municipal Building. She had been interested in a case in the Court of Special Sessions, in which Bernard Lynch of 510 Third avenue was the defendant, and she was very much excited when the trial was finished, for i claimed that some of the witnesses for the young man had traduced her.

She met Lynch in front of the Borough Hall after the trial and assaulted him, but when some of the bystanders took up her quarrel and tried to strike the young man, woman like, her sympathies turned to him and she begged them not to hurt him. Lynch disappeared, and Miss Kelly walked over to Joralemon street, to wait for a car. While she was standing near the track she dropped in a faint. She was carried over to the grass plot in front of the hall and remained there until an ambulance surgeon had restored her to her senses and comparative composure. Then she was taken to the office of the License Squad, in the basement of the hall, where she was allowed to rest until she was able to proceed to her home.

MAY NOT HAVE HER CHILD. Justice Hooker Says Mrs. Mulroy Abandoned. Her Infant When She Consented to Adoption. Justice Hooker in Supreme Court has denied the right of Mrs.

Celia Mulroy to take her child from Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Bleils. who adopted it some time ago. Mrs.

Mulroy secured a writ of habeas corpus for the adoptive father and mother to produce the child in supreme court and the matter was there argued. Justice Hooker reserved his decision. It appears that Mrs. Mulroy about three years ago worked in the house of Mr. and Mrs.

Bleils on Herkimer street, near Troy avenue, and, as the child was then a baby she took it with her to Mr. and Mrs. Bleils' house. When she terminated her period of service in the house she left the child there to board, paying for its Afterward she told the couple, who are well advanced in years, that she could not afford to pay any longer for its lodging and clothing, as she had to earn her living, and she accepted the offer of the couple to adopt it. Mr.

and Mrs. Bleils went to the County Court and formally adopted the child. Now the mother thinks that she would like to have it again. The old couple, who had become very much attached to the little one, refused to let the mother have it and she thereunou secured a writ of habeas corpus. It was contended by Lawyer Bruce R.

Duncan, counsel for the old adoptive parents, that the mother had abandoned her Infant; this was denied by Lawyer George J. O'Keefe. for the parent. Justice Hooker decides that Mrs. Mulroy had abandoned the child.

SHAKEUP OF POLICE OFFICIALS, Captain Brown May Be Obliged Spend the Winter in the Canarsie Precinct. to There was another shake up in the police force yesterday afternoon, a little one which affected Brooklyn and Queens alone. Inspector Thomas Druhan, who has been in the Queens district ever since his promotion from a captaincy, was sent to the Brooklyn district and Thomas Murphy, one of the vet eran inspectors in Brooklyn, was transferred to Queens. Druhan is a Democrat, but is first of all a policeman, and it is understood that he has been anxious to get back to jdrooklyn. Murphy is a Republican, it is understood, and he does not much care where he is sent.

It is likely that each of the i.spectors will take with him his personal siatl. Druhan reported, as per orders from Chief Devery, at the Brooklyn Central Office this morning and then went back to Queens pack up his personal belongings. In spector Murphy also reported at the Long Island Citv htadouarters. CaDtain Richard T. Hipkman wn wnt from the Canarsie precinct to duty in the Atlantic avenue station and Captain Edmund Brown was sent from the Atlantic avenue station to Canarsie.

The news came as a heart breaker to Brown, who has been working ior some time, it 13 understood, to be sent to the command of some starinn in the Queens district. Captain Erown has had many ups and downs of late. He was at one time in I his glory at the Sheepshead Bay station. Then he was sent to the command of the Butler street station. His next shift was to Atlan tic avenue, and now he has reached the depths of woe.

There is absolutely nothing to interest a man in Canarsie in the winter time. Had the Chief been anxious to please Brown he might have sent him to Canarsie when there was some life there, but a winter watching clam and oyster pirates maj not be to his liking. Brown's politics are not known. Chief Devery says that the transfers are made "for the good of the service." EAGLE'S SCHOOL NtTMBEB. To Be Published To morrow Morning.

IVext to perfection comex tlie EaK'le Warehouse and Storage 2S 3S Fulton Brooklyn. Tel. 459 Main. 1 1 '5 Mrs. Ments Believed That Latter Was Killed by a Secret Society.

the WAS CRAZY BEFORE SHE DIED. Refused to Take Medicine, as She Feared Physician Wanted to Poison Her. The death of Mrs. Franceska Ments, which occurred on Thursday, was a particularly sad one, and was brought about by grief over the death of her husband, who committed suicide just one month ago in a hotel on Weet street, Manhattan. During the time that her husband's body was in the house, Mrs.

Ments appeared to bear her loss heroically, but when the funeral party returned after the interment she broke down. From that time until her death on Thursday the woman's mental and physical condition became worse, and she finally collapsed. Mrs. Ments' husband conducted a saloon on Bedford avenue, at the corner of Putnam. It was familiarly known to the residents as The Cottage.

August 8, Ments was found dead in a hotel in Manhattan. It was said that the man had committed suicide because of some financial embarrassments. Mrs. Ments was not aware of her husband's troubles and his death proved a great shock to her. It is said that Ments indorsed notes for friends that were becoming due and that he was unable to meet them.

It is also said that he had lost some money in speculation. The couple had been married seven years. Mrs. Ments was Miss Franceska Pretzel of Richmond Hill before her marriage. They lived happily together in apartments over the cafe and managed during the few years to pay off the mortgage that was upon the property.

After the funeral of her husband Mrs. Ments acted so strangely that her relatives kept a close watch on her. She at times refused to believe that her husband was dead, and would tell those around her that he was expected home shortly. Once she called from the window to some friends that her husband would be home soon. Then again she would declare that her husband, who belonged to a secret society had been killed by his associates.

She said that his turn must have come and that the lodge had probably killed him. She would then rave about who was the next and imagined that there was a plot on foot to poison her. The woman's relatives became so alarmed that they called in a physician, who pre scribed for her, but she refused to take the medicine, claiming that it was poison. ine woman became so unmanageable that it was deemed best to remove her to a sanitarium, but there was no institution, it was said, that would take her in the condition that she was in. The front room over the store was then fitted up for her accommodation and two trained nurses were engaged to attend to the patient.

When the woman persistently refused to take the medicine or food the physician was obliged to adopt some other means of treating and nourishing her and a tube was Inserted in the nostril through which the medicine and nourishment were injected. Mrs. Ments soon became so exhausted, however, that she was for the past few weeks treated and fed without mucn aimcuuy. ine funeral services will be held at the house on Sunday afternoon and the interment will take place in the Lutheran uemetery Middle Village. at OBITUARY.

"Before the Ball," the largest and most important picture, if the work of the well known artist, A. Ritzberger. and was shown in the exhibition at the famous "Glass Palace" in Munich, last year.

At a table sits the chaperone, drawing on her white gloves. Two young girls are posed near, casting glances of rapt approval at. the debutante. A large red, silk shaded lamp on the table, seems to throw this marvelous light, before spoken of, on everything. A child and Its father, evidently, are In the background; they, too.

gaving at the debutante wltn admiration. The composition of the picture Is naturalness itself. Tho brush work is free and strong, and there Is an impresalveness about the canvas which marks it for a really great work of its special line of figure interior. Another canvas in this inner gallery is by Ahnert. "The First Steps." "A Dream," by Zatzka, the Hungarian artist.

Is a fanciful, graceful episode, in which a vision, with iupia playing a part In It, befalls a girl in a wood. K. Wagner is represented several times, once In a quaint scene along an Amsterdam canal, with mellowness in the atmosphere, and tawny sails grouped before an cient nouses. Wagner is again represented in a broad, sunny landscape, with the yellowish brown tints of autumn, and the wagon of a farmer going along the open road. A landscape with a stream flowing past a typical Hungarian homestead, is another excellent example of Wagner's skill.

Professor Mas sani of Florence Is well represented by an old monk's figure in a cellar, quiet enjoyment of the contents of a stein showing In every line of the old fellow's countenance. Another canvas having a monkish flavor shows a venerable recluse with flowing beard, giving a "Salve Viator" to An Austrian artist, A.

B. Lambert's "Wood in November," with Its quietly luminous sky, and massive trees standing leafless and well defined against the heavens, 1b picture of much Interest.

Morris of London, with his group of Scotch cattle amid a landscape as rugged as their type of beauty, is another painting of Interest.

Cei, in his "Surprising Grandma" has painted a charming genre, showing young folks costuming in a handsome Interior where their elders are superintending the work of fitting out the'party to go into surprise the "gracious lady" on her birthday.

This was in 1899. After getting the $80,000 in Paris, the police say, the men returned to America and settled with the man they had robbed in Cleveland, with the proceeds of the French robbery. For this reason the Cleveland police have wired to the New York department that they do not think they have evidence enough on which to extradite Barrett. The Milwaukee police, however, want Barrett for a bank burglary, which was committed in October, 1S99, for which he was arrested and also jumped his bail. It is expected that Barrett will be extradited to Milwaukee on that charge.

It was said at the Detective Bureau this morning that the Paris police have made no request of the New Yorw police to arrest Barrett, although it has been known for some time that he was engaged fib that robbery. Barrett will be first extradited to Milwaukee, and then an opportunity will be given to the Paris police to get him if they so desire. Barrett was arrested in November, 1886, under the name of Taylor, in Chicago, and sentenced to Joliet Prison for burglary, where he remained until February, 1892. On May 13 of that year he was again arrested in Chicago for burglary, but he was discharged on account of a failure to indict him. He was arrested in January.

1894. under the name of Thompson, but was acquitted by a jury. In September, 1894, under the name of Barrett, he was arrested for a bank robbery and spent four years in prison. He went back to Chicago and was arrested for burglary in 1898, but was acquitted. The Cleveland and Milwaukee robberies occurred since that time.

The police consider the Barrett arrest a very important one, and every detective in the city was ordered to look him over. It was said that Barrett has been stopping at first class hotels In this city and changing his residence frequently. The police have been on his trail for some time. A COP ATTHE TILLER. Court Officer Williams Arrested Men in Newport and Sailed Back to Brooklyn.

His The sloop yacht Orion, which Is owned by William T. Netllng, a wealthy resident of Bensonhurst, and which disappeared on Tuesday last, is now tugging away at the buoy off the Brooklyn Yacht Club's quarters at the foot of Twenty third avenue, Bensonhurst. The alleged thieves will be held responsible for its disappearance. It appears that Netllng and a party of friends had made arrangements to go sailing on Wednesday last. The Orion is a beautiful craft about fifty feet long and Is valued at $3,000.

The boat had been in commission all summer and was attached to the Brooklyn Yacht Club fleet. The crew included John Chevalier, the captain, and Robert Mount, mate and general utility man. Chevalier is 29 years old and Mount has just passed 24 and both have spent most of their days on the water. They had also planned a little excursion on the quiet and on Tuesday night, while the owner and his friends were dreaming of pleasant times on the morrow, Chevalier and Mount were also planning a little trip of their own. On Tuesday night the captain and Mount went to Coney Island and met two women.

Early the following morning they hoisted anchor and set sail. Both men live in Keyport, N. and they decided to pay a visit to that place. Wednesday afternoon found them at anchor In Rarltan Bay, where, according to some of the men on other boats lying near the Orion, there were some great goingson. Thursday the yacht was off Keyport and when the owner heard of it, he applied for a warrant for the arrest of Captain Jack and the mate, on a charge of grand larceny.

The warrant was given to Court Officer Nelson C. Williams of the Coney Island court, and Thursday night the officer located the yacht. He stationed himself on the shore I and waited for hours for some one on the boat to come ashore, but no one appeared and he finally sent a man in a row boat to the yacht and In a short time Captain Jack and a woman appeared on shore and the captain was immediately placed under arrest and was locked up In the town prison. The officer then waited for the other fellow, who finally appeared with the other woman and he also was arrested. The women were allowed to go.

Captain Chevalier and Mount were greatly surprised when arrested and they refused to leave the state and go with Williams to Bensonhurst. They were then taken before the Keyport chief of police, who Is also the supervisor, town clerk and justice of the peace. He locked them up, pending requisition papers. Williams was then left with the boat on his hands, but it did not trouble him much, for he Immediately boarded the craft and hoisted sail. He cleared the craft partially of the broken glasses and bottles in the cabin and then hoisted anchor and headed for Bensonhurst.

This was at 7 o'clock In the morning of yesterday and at noon the graceful outlines of the Orion were discerned rounding the point at Coney Island, and as the craft neared Its former anchorage, the form of a cop could be seen at the tiller. The boat was sailed up to the buoy and Williams then reported to his precinct. The policeman is an old sailor, having weathered many a gale off the coast In fishing dories and large vessels. His friends have now named him the "Skipper." FELL OUT OF A WINDOW. While hanging out clothes on a pulley line, at 7 o'clock last evening, Mrs.

She was attended by Ambulance Surgeon O'Connor and was not removed. Salisbury's Return Likely to Be Followed by a Definite Pronouncement. CARNEGIE RETURNS IN OCTOBER. Ee Is Hopeful Concerning the Future Commercial Outlook in the United States.

London. September The week has been prolific of discussion, but though the main questions of internntional and national interest appear to be profiting by the general desire for peace, which remains the strongest factor of international politics and appears to be approaching a solution, they have not yet reached the point of finality which Great Britain so earnestly desires in order that she may attend to her private concerns. Among the latter stand out most prominently the South African question and the general election. By help of the desire for peace that dominates all nations. Great Britain has been enabled to achieve without hindrance the formal annexation of the South African Republics, which, as a Cabinet minister declared last year, would be an "unmitigated misfortune." Lord Roberts' proclamation, however, has not advanced matters much.

The jingoes pretend that the annexation of the Transvaal is tantamount to the end of the South African War, but the Boer view of the question differs, and. as a matter of fact, there are no signs that the British are masters of the country anywhere except in the case of strips of land along the railroads. However, in spite of the disconcerting persistency of the burghers, the British government, apparently, has determined to carry out the scheme for an early appeal to the country. Everything appears to be shaping for an October election, and the return to England of Lord Salisbury during the coming week will probably be speedily followed by a definite pronouncement of the date of the dissolution as well as British views on far Eastern matters. Among the interesting features of the election news is the movement on the part of the Liberal Unionists to return to the Literal fold and to be again what Sir William Vernon Harcourt described himself to be in his speech of September 4, "Liberals without any adjectives." Mr.

Anthony Hope (Hawkins), the novelist, is again a canuidte for a seat in Parliament, tie has been adopted as the Liberal champion for Falkirk Burghs. Special dispatches from New York have surfeited the reading public here with more or less circumstantial details of the acute crisis in the affairs of the Carnegie Company and its reorganization, etc. Mr. Andrew Carnegie characterizes the reports as devoid of foundation in fact. In a telegram to the Associated Press he says: "We are a harmonious, happy family.

No changes are desired or contemplated." Charles S. Smith of New York, who will return to the United States this week after an extensive tour of Europe, has just completed a fortnight's visit to Skibo Castle, the Scotch estate of Mr. Carnegie. Mr. Smith said: "Mr.

Carnegie is going to have one of the finest castles in Scotland when the repairs are complete. He had two hundred men ent ployed on the castle grounds all summer, doing wonders in transforming the estate. pteyed golf nearly every day with Mr. Carnegie and know that the stories of dissensions in the Carnegie Company are utterly unfounded. Wo knew President Schwab was in Europe, but he was not at Skibo Castle.

"Iron is low but Mr. Carnegie is hopeful concerning the future commercial outlook fn the United States. He is going to the United States in October." "I never knew so many important Americans in London." said United States Vice Consul Westaeott to a representative of the Associated Press. "At this time of the year you are sure to find many who have overtaxed their financial resources. But.

the applications for relief here outnumber anything in the history of the consulate. Of course, there are no means in our hands to finance stranded travelers, and If there were they would long since have been expended. Guests at the leading hotels say they cannot go into the streets without being besieged for financial aid bv impoverished compatriots." The visiting members of the Kansas City Fire Brigade are airing crowds at the Crystal Palace. The smartness of the American firemen has railed forth unstinted praise from the London newspapers. The report of the British commercial agent at Chicago, printed conspicuously in the London Times attracts attention as being further evidence of the skill and progress of American mechanics.

The report extols American methods, the use of labor snvirg machinery and the rapidity and excellence of their product. The Kendals, who have been busilv rehearsing new play by Mrs. W. K. Clifford, entitled "Unwisely but too Well," have been rhajrrinerl by the discovery that.

Sydney Grundy's play. "A Debt of Honor," produced by George Alexander on Thursday it the St. James Theater, is almost a replica nf the work they had in hand. Mrs. Clifford's play was printed in he March issue of Lady Randolph Churchi'l's Ansrln Saxon Review, under the title "Likeness of the Night." and was twice read and rejected by Alexander.

As a result, a heated newspaper controversy is in progress. Grundy partly declares he never knew Alexander ever read Mrs. Clifford's play and that. Alexnnder had no idea what he, Grundy, was writing till the play was completed. Grundv adds: "I did not.

know until now that Mrs. Clifford's play was published in the Anglo Saxon Review, nor have I met anybody who The Kendals. who have been making elaborate prcnarations for presentine the new piece, regard the matter as a (r rat misfortune, hut they declare they will procend without rhenginsr the play though thev were at first, inclined to do so. Novelties in theatrical circles are scarce and fewer important American venture? than Usual are booked for the London season. PASSENGERS ON ETRTJRIA.
