A Son, Dr. John B. Zabriskie, and His Wife Speeding Westward on an Express Train. Kews is momentarily expected and anxiously awaited to day regarding the condition of Mrs. John L.

Zabriskie and her daughter, Miss Louise (. Zabriskie of Flatbush, who were injured by falling into a natural cauldron while sight seeing in the Yellowstone National Park. Mrs. and Miss Zabriskie are members of one of the oldest and most influential families of Brooklyn, and have an extended acquaintance among residents of both this borough and Manhattan, who are solicitous as to their welfare. The news which has come from the West has given no details of the accident and what tidings have reached the family have been brief.

Both Mrs. and her daughter have been badly burned, according to the best information, but the nature of their wounds has not been learned. The accident, which was an unusual one, occurred Saturday afternoon at the mammoth Hot Springs. Both women fell into one of the boiling "paint pots" at the Thumb on the lake, a point always attractive for tourists. They were touring the park by way of the Monida route and were about completing a three years' tour around the world.

The park was one of the last points of interest to be visited and had all gone well mother and daughter would have returned to their home in Flatbush about the middie of this month. The Paint Pots at the Thumb into one of which and Miss 2abriskie fell, are huge natural cauldrons of hot clay. The women were unaccompanied and it may be some time before ail the details of the accident are known. One of the women fell into the boiling mud and it is presumed that the other also fell while trying to rescue her companion. They were submerged almost to their waists and might have perished but tor the assistance renuered by other tourists, who happened to be near by and heard their cries for help.

The women were pulled out of the boiling mud and taken sonie distance by boat to the Lake Hotel, whence medical assistance was summoned from Monmouth Hot Springs. Dr. J. B. Ferguson, a surgeon stationed at the Army post, is one of the medical men iu attendance and Dr.

John B. Zabriskie, son of Mrs. Zabriskie, and his wife are speeding across the country to his mother and sister's side. Dr. Edwin Zabriskie when seen this afternoon said that he had wired for further particulars as to the condition of his mother and sister, but it was difficult to get news from the point where they are, as shown by the fact that no word of the accident was received here until nearly twenty four hours after its occurrence.

Tha membrrs of'tlfeftotty learned that Mrs. Zabriskie and her daughter had met with an accident Sunday morning, when the following telegram, signed by the proprietor of the Lake Hotel, was received by Dr. John B. Zabriskie at his home, 2,103 Church avenue: "Accident; come at once." The very briet message, as will be noted, gave no details and the family did not know whether both the mother and daughter had met with mishap or only one, how the accident had occurred or where the injured were. All that Dr.

John B. Zabriskie knew was that his mother and sister were sightseeing in Yellowstone National Park; that one or both had been injured and that he was wanted. By telephone he learned what time the first train for the West departed and then made ready to board it. Mrs. Zabriskie.

his wife, believed that she could be of assistance to the injured and it was promptly decided that she should accompany her husband. At 4 o'clock that afternoon Dr. and Mrs. Zabriskie were on an express train speeding for Chicago. A few minutes after the scheduled time for the departure another telegram from Montana addressed to Dr.

John B. Zabriskie arrived at the Church avenue residence. Dr. Edwin Zabriskie, a brother of the man whose address was written on the yellow envelope, hastily broke it open and found the following message, which somewhat relieved the anxious strain: "Both burned badly, but not dangerously, in hot pool. Not necessary for both to come.

I am with them. B. FERGUSON, Post Surgeon." This was interpreted to mean that while Mrs. Zabriskie and her daughter had beeu seriously injured, it was not necessary for both sons to go to their side. A duplicate of the message was made and immediately forwarded to Dr.

John B. Zabriskie, en route at Chicago. At the house to day it was said that the second telegram Sunday had done much to reassure the family that the women burned had probably received medical attendance, as the signature indicated that there was an Army post within call of the hotel where they were taken and that a surgeon stationed there was caring for them. Mrs. Zabriskie with her daughter lives at Flatbush and Church avenues, across the street from the historic old Flatbush Reformed Church, of which both are prominent members.

The Zabriskie residence, while not as pretentious as that of Dr. John B. Zabriskie, next door, on Church avenue, is a picturesque structure and Is. surrounded by spacious, well kept grounds. About three years ago Mrs.

MC DGUGALL LOSES SUIT. Brooklyn Dentist Cannot Have His Child New York Decrees Null in Pennsylvania. (Special to the Eagle.) York. July The habeas corpus proceedings brought by Dr. Kenneth McDougall, a leading Brooklyn dentist, against his divorced wife.

Bruma Virginia McDougall of this city, to recover the custody of their 6 year old son. Kenneth McDougall, was heard in Court of Common Pleas yesterday, before Judge Stewart. The entire morning was taken up with legal arguments over the effect of the decree of New York ccurts. which awarded the custody of the child to its father. This decree was made a part of the granting of the divorce and was principally relied upon by the father iu support of his claim for his son.

The offer in evidence of this decree was met with a strenuous objection from Mrs. McDougall's counsel on the ground that the New York court was without jurisdiction because young Kenneth was a resident of Pennsylvania when the decree was made. This contention Judge Stewart sustained and ordered that the case proceed on the question as to which parent was better fitted to properly maintain and educate the child. Dr. McDougall was called to testify in his own behalf.

He said ho is a dentist of thirteen years' experience and lives at 119 Hal sey street, Brooklyn, with his mother and sisters; that he is perfectly able to support his son, having an income of $4,500 a year. One of the reasons alleged by Mrs. McDougall against the doctor's custody of the child is that the doctor is impecunious and his cross examination was directed to his financial condition. An affidavit which Mrs. McDougall made in May, in defense to maintenance proceedings in Brooklyn, was produced.

It contained a statement that he was totally without means and was dependent on his mother for support and that he had unpaid judgments against that time. Debt's of his wife's, too, were coming in, all of which he was unable to pay. Explaining this, affidavit he said that the statements therein were true when made. Since that time he has paid his debts and has a greatly increased Income. Judge Stewart, after hearing the testimony and arguments of counsel: not thinking It necessary to hold the case under advisement, ordered the child to remain in the custody of the mother.

Dr. McDougall Is a son of the Rev. Dr. McDougall. former president of the York Collegiate Institute.

ALDERMAN DELANO EXPLAINS. Makes an Affidavit That He Is Not Interested ia the Milton Rthbun Company. Alderman Delsno, whose connection with the Milton Rathbun Company caused the temporary holdup of a contract for supplying forage to the Street Cleaning Department, has straightened out the difficulty. Yesterday afternoon 'he submitted to Deputy Controller Levey an affidavit reciting that he is only an employe of the company and has no Interest in It. It was discovered last week that Alderman Delano used to be the secretary and treasurer of the company.

He stated then that he had resigned and disposed of all his interest, that, the company might secure city contracts. Alderman Herbert Parsons of Manhattan had an interview with Captain Titus of the Detective Bureau to day and complained of the laxity of the police in looking after a burglary in his district last night The burglar or burglars entered the rooms of Mrs. M. Nathan, a milliner at 48!) Sixth avenue, Manhattan, just around the corner from the Thirtieth street police station the headquarters of the Tenderloin police between 1 and 3 o'clock this morning and got a valuable watch, a diamond stud and a roll of money. The affair was reported to the police at 5:30 o'clock this morning, and the sergeant on duty promised to send a man around at once.

At 9:30 o'clock he had not appeared, and Mrs. Nathan appealed to Alderman Parsons, who was indiguaut. He went down town to see Captain Titus, who mollified him somewhat by promising to put a sleuth on the trail at once. WHITNEY'S COLORS WINNING.

QUICK WORK BY FIREMEN. lawrence Murphy and William Fitz patrick, Who Were Seriously In jured, May Not Recover. Through the explosion of an oil still in the Pratt oil works, which is part o' the numer us plants of the Standard Oil Company, located North street aad Bush uiok Creel: and Ktnt avenue and the East River, five workmen were injured. Two were ja seriously burned that in all probability i ielr liiath will rtsult. The two men likely 10 die are aivrence' Murphy and William Fit.patrick.

Both were oraployed as Bremen about the still, which exploded without the i liKitest ladicalioa cit a warning. As a re bult both were enveloped iu a shower of llaaiing oil and were burned over their entire body. The burning oii, thrown in all directions hy the force of the explosion, set tire to the oil t.oakiil clothing of the otiers ar.d they, too, were envelop. ti flames, wliijh they man nseti to smother by rolling about on the ground. Their not being of Kii'ch a serious character, were dressed the cumpaay's owu torce and as a ivsull all inforn including their names unJ.

the full of their injuries, was refused oy the officials 0 the company. The uatnesof the two badly burned were only obtained' through the fact that their injuries were of such a serious character that it was uicessary to remove them to the hospital. The stills, or tanks, which exploded, were located iu the middle of many others iu about the center of the plant. The stills are composed of brick and corrugated irou. and each is said to contain about 50,000 barrels of oil undergoing the refining process.

How the explosion occurred is not exactly known, but it Is believed to have been due to spontaneous causes or through the gases which frequently geaerale. The position of firemen is extremely hazardous and accidents from similar causes have resulted in many deaths. The explosion this morning occurred shortly before 10 o'clock and from all accounts terrific in its force and noise and was heard for several blocks about. Immediately following it a huge sheet of flame shot up from the center of the cluster' of stills. From all accounts fire appeared in all directions and many others at work about the adjoining tillj only escaped Injury through flight.

An alarm of fire sounded through the plant followed by the moving of the fire brigade, inide up of the employes. The injured were and carried to places of safety, while an attempt was made to fight the fire. The flames spread with remarkable rapidity, owing to the oil soaked condition of the surroundings and there was danger of the entire plant being destroyed. It was then that a call was turned in summoning the "BrTSoEIynl Fi Department. in the meantime the oil in the adjoining stills was run off through underground pipes to 'other plants, principally that of the Kings Qbuhty.

Gil: Company in Kingsland avenue. At the arrival of the firemen in response to' the first alarm, the seriousness of the fire was noted at once and a second, followed im tnedlatjely by another alarm, was turned in. Theloeatlon of the box Is well 'known, and no time was lost in responding to the alarm. In a remarkably short time a dozen streams of wkter. were turned in the direction of the blaze and upon the adjoining stills, to keep them cool.

The work of the firemen was eon ducted at a safe distance, through fear of additional explosions. It was nearly an hour before the flames were subdued. The fireboat David A. Boody also responded to the alarm, but its bervices were not required. The entire neighborhood swarmed about the scene, and Captain Short, with the reserves from the Bedford avenue station, had the usual difficulty In keeping the people beyond the fire line.

In the meantime the injuries of Murphy and Fitzpatrlck, having beeu found to be of such a shocking character, calls for ambulances brought those from the Eastern District and Willlamsburgh hospitals. Murphy was attended by Dr. Telfair, and subsequently taken to the Eastern District, while Fltzpatrick was conveyed to the Willlamsburgh Hospital by Dr. Dowd. Both were described as being badly burned and would probably die.

The officials in the office of the company, on North Twelfth street, declined to give any information concerning the Are. The last fatal Are in the same plant occurred ix years ago, on which occasion a half a dozen employes were burned to death. YORK DISPENSES JUSTICE. Police Trials To day Bring Out Pacts in Exciting Chase of a Policeman at Coney. Deputy Commissioner York presided as usual to day at the local police trials.

Eighteen in the Evening and Sixteen in the Morning Have Been Added. In response to the ''constant demand of the traveling public, which is forced usually to put up with whatever servi. the railroad and bridge authorities choose to give, the traffic managers have increased materially the train service on the Brooklyn Bridge. The extra trains were operated for the first time last evening during the rush hours and they continue hereafter on the time schedule introduced then. In reality, the service is not increased, as the extra trains simply represent, the restoration of the old headway Jji a small part of the busiest time, bat Q'iHihIie which has to ride, will not stop to quibble over such a point.

The trains are needed too much for that. They are but local trains running on the bridge only but they will help the trolley lines materially in handling the morning and evening crowds. Eighteen additional trains figure in evening time table, running 54 seconds apart from 4 to 7 o'clock, while 16 have been added to the morning equipment, the headway of each over the next beiug one minute. SQUADRON LANDS MARINES. Shore Defense Training of Battleship Men Near Nantucket Is Now Going On.

GROUND IS VERY SOFT. Recent Occurrences of This Kind Near Dry Dock Eo. 2 and Building No. 1.206. Ever since the mammoth cave in at the Navy Yard about one year ago there has been the greatest agitntion among the officials over the safety of the goverurr.eul buildings and property, much of which, it is said, seems to be in imminent danger of becoming a subterranean possession.

Ever since that time there have been cave ins at frequent intervals, most of them being of minor importance, and the impression has become quite general at the yar.d that there is no building or dock that is certain of remaining above ground for all time. The most recent occurrences of this kind are near reconstructed Dry Dock No. 2, and at the foundation of Building 120, which nas Deen occupied about ten mouths. The Navy Yard was a swamp or swale. As excavations for cellars and dry docks were made the excavated material huj beeu used to till in the bogs.

After being thoroughly drained this manufactured land has been used fo buiidiug sites, and situations for dry docks. practice would have beeu ail right had I luu excavated material oeen aught but quick sand, and a kind of clay so devoid of cleavage i as to be utterly useless for a foundation of any kind. I It was in material of this kind that dry I docks aud were excaaied. Foi lone i time neither of them could bo csed. as they were continually leaking, caving and giving out one or another.

At tms me I they were under the supervision i transie rred the work on Dry Dock No. 3 to the Department of Construction, and gave Constructor Bowles carte blanche in placing it in working condition, lie brought hu i ity to bear cm the matter aud with the excep uou mat i. is a umocr clock, it is one of the bLSl working ones in the world. I uij ijuci was left in charge of the department ot yards and docks and has re instructed the dock, making I. virir an replaciug the old timbers with cement.

The dock hasn't been pumped oul but once, and then it leaked so badly that it was immediately refilled. In order to remove the evidences of the leakages. Then the caisson sank at the entrance and. lastly, there are serious cave ins all along one 'side of the dock. They are not so large, bv a great deal, as the one that occurred a year ago between dry docks 2 and 3, but there are more of them.

That one was a hundred feet Wide and two hundred feet long and of considerable depth. As the cavity was filled with the same material that had already sunk, it may be expected to sink again. None of the present cavities is very large, but the number or twelve la sufficient to show 'he cbracfeT of the in which the reconstructed dock is situated. It has been suggested before to Civil Engineer Asserson that the location of the dock was ill advised, but such a suggestion he regarded as presumptuous. That the cavities are not the results of the storm is evident from the fact that they are larger than they were on the day of the storm.

They are dally becoming larger and no eftorr is being made to fill them. It is said at the yard, however, that the situation of the dock Is not the only III advised thing about it. Besides a hurried carelessness which was evident even to common laborers In the different departments of the task, the sides or the dock were filled in with the same material which had given so much previous trouble. Instead of bringing some material frcm a distance which would afford a solid foundation, the same quicksand and elay were used that were taken out of the excavation. Building 120.

which may soon be a subterranean structure, was finished about a year ago. and was built by the department of yards and docks. Its foundation was a swamp and filled In with material originally taken from dry docks 2 and 3. The appropriation for the building, which Is used as an oil shed, was S4S.000, but the lowest contractor's bid was 560,000. So the government undertook to construct the building, and the work was 10 he supervised by the department of yards and docks.

The work was done within the amount appropriated, which, it is declared, was the worst kind of extravagance, for, it is said, the whole thing seems likely to become useless. the structure is ou It of cement nrielc nnrl 200 by 60 feet. is woMorEs high, has a railroad track down the cent iwoaspnait piat lpr neavy in proportion to Its tensile "'co me upright pillars arc covered with cement to prevent them front buckling in esse of tire.

The Prisoner Is Also Accused of Jump ing on the Boyrs Body While He Was Prone. Harold Smith, a 13 year old boy, of 844 Fulton street, was the victim of an assault I yesterday afternoon, the brutality of which aroused stunt ot much anger in the neighborhood. Young Smith is now in the. City Hospital with an arm so badly broken and bruised, the result of being twisted, that there is a strong possibility that, it will have lo bo amputated. The hoy is bruised also ou the body, where his ast aiia ut jumped on him after lie had fallen.

A grocery clerk by the name of Otto Lorenz. 24 years old. who works in grocery store at the eornr of St. aud Vanderbilt venues, is the man who is charged with being young Smith's assailant. The i roubie came about because of an emp ty soda water bottle.

Voting Smith, earlier in the day. hart gone intu the grocery store and bought a bottle of soda water, for which he had given cents. He went, about 5 o'clock yesterday al'ternocn to the store again and claimed 2 cents for the safe return of the bottle. He made his claim on James Kane, 11) years old. also a clerk in the store.

Kaue relused to return the i cents that had been deposited, saying that Smith had not bought the soda at thai store. Smith, on the other nand. insisted that he hart purchased the water there and became indignant when the clerk refused to give him the money. He was only claiming his rights, he said. Words followed, which ended by Kane striking Smith lull in the face with his fist.

Smith then run out of the store and it is said that i.orenz, who was in the store at tne time, kicked at him as he was running and ran out of the store after the bov. Thomas Wynne, a boy friend, who was with bmith at the time, tells the story of what ollowed. He says that Lorcnz caught the Boy four doors away, in from of ii04 Vunder ttll avenue. He drew blm into the doorwnv, first twisting Hie boy's right, arm tintii he yelled in agony. He still had hold of the arm.

"Wynne says, when he dragged Smith in the hallway and shut the door. Wynee went to the door and forced it open and lie says he then saw Smith lying on the floor and Jumping on blm. After the boy succeeded In getting on his feet again. Wynne says that the clerk struck hiin twice in the face with his fist. Then Lorenz left the place and ran hack to the store.

By ibis time a considerable crowd had collected. Officer John .1. Kyan of the Prospect Park station, who was on his way home at the time, saw the crowd collect and ran lo tile scene. He lives in the neighborhood. He saw young Smith coming from the hallway 111 a pitiable condition.

The boy cried that his arm had been broken. OfTlcor Ryan lost no time in sending In a cull for an ambulance. Ambulance Surgeon Telfien of Ihe City Hospital responded. He took the boy to a neighboring drug si roe and tried to do something for him there. He saw that It was a useless task, however, and then took the case to the hospital.

It was necessary to put Smith under the influence of ether before the arm could he treated in any way. the pain being so great. Surgeon Tef fien said thut it was one of the very worst cases of dislocation and breaking that he hud ever seen. The hone at the elbow was wrenched from Its sockel and the bones just below the Joint were broken so that the ends protruded through the llesh. There is a possibility that the arm will have to be amputated.

As soon as the crowd which had collected knew how serious the rase was there was loud and threatening talk against Lorenz, who retreated to the rear of the store. He was taken In custody by Officer Ityan shortly after. The prisoner secured bail, however. The case came up in the Myrtle avenue court this morning before Magistrate Furlong. Mrs.

Julia Smith, the mother of the injured hoy, appeared against the prisoner to press the charge. She is a respectable looking woman. Lorenz pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault In the second degree that had been preferred against him and Magistrate Furlong held him in default of $1, 000 bail pending examination on July 12. Mrs. Smith said afterward that she would push the case Just, as far as possible to get justice.

White, his father, at 9 o'clock this morning and has Just received a reply from Mrs. White, saying: "Your telegram. fortunately, has not reached Mr. White. We have no details as yet." The correspondent understands that Mr.

White is greatly shocked and uervouslv do pressed at the death of his son. Mrs. White, therefore, fearing the result upon her husband, has, thus far, withheld the news of their son's suicide, intending to gently and gradually break it to Mr. White. From Berlin telegrams of sympathy have begun to be received at Sassnitz.

one of the first being from Baron von Richthofon, the German foreign minister. Syracuse, N. July 9 Coroner F. D. Matthews this morning officially reported Frederick D.
