0 DETAILS RECEIVED YET, Accident Took Place at Belvedere, Near the French line Family Went Abroad in May. The death of Mrs. William Wickham Smith, a Brooklyn woman and the wife ot one of the members of the law firm. Curie, Smith Maxwell, was announced in a cablegram received at the attorneys' offices, 22 William street, Manhattan yesterday afternoon. The message, which was very brief, came from Mr.

Smith, and stated that Mrs. Smith had been killed by a fall of ice among the mountains of Switzerland. Mclther the lawyer's partners nor his relatives hero are In possession of additional facts', although they are expecting further advices hourly. The cablegram received in New York yesterday was dated Belvedere, Switzerland, which is located not far from the French line. A cablegram, quite as brief as the first, was dispatched by Mr.

Smith to a relative here and In this it was said that the victim of the accident died painlessly, as far as can be Judged from tho meager wording of the trans atlantic message, Mrs. Smith sustained mortal Injuries from the force of the descending ice and never regained consciousness. Her death was not immediate but occurred, ap parently, some little time after the fatality, there being no outward sign of suffering. Both Mr. and Mrs.

Smith are well known here, the former in professional and both in social circles. Their home, now unoccupied, ia at 1,153 Dean street. Mr. Smith, with his wife and child, together with his wife's maid left Brooklyn for Europe last May. It was their intention, when they started across the ocean, to be absent about six months and during that time they expected to travel leisurely through England and Scotland and over the Continental routes.

They were not expected back in this coun try before October. One of Mr. Smith's part ners this afternoon said that the Arm had received occasional letters from the tourists relating the progress of their travels and up to their arrival in Belvedere nothing occurred to mar the enjoyment of the trip. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Ella Velsor, and she has numerous relatives in and about Brooklyn.

Mr. Smith is about 40 years of age and is a man of wide acquaintance among practitioners in the city. In Manhattan he Is a prominent, member of the Lawyers Club, and' in Brooklyn both the. Lincoln and the Union League clubs claim him as an ac tive member. "You "know all that we do about Mrs.

Smith's death," said a member of the law firm to an Eagle reporter this afternoon, "but further news will doubtless come to us shortly. Mrs. Smith must have been killed while on a mountain climbing expedition. There appears to'be no other way possible in which falling ice could have hit her." ROBERT BROKE THE WINDOWS.

John Murphy, 40 years old, of 3S0 Hicks street was held this morning by Magistrate Dooley, sitting in the Butler street police court, without bail on a charge of homicide. His wife, Catharine, died this morning at o'clock in St. Peter's Hospital and it is charged that It 'was her husband's brutality that caused her death. The alleged, assault which is said to have caused her death is stated to have occurred a week ago yesterday.

SECRECY ABOUT FUNERAL. Relatives of Frederick W. Porter, the Suicide, Trying to Prevent Miss Gibson From Attending Services. The body of Frederick W. Porter, the young man who killed himself ia the presence ot his auut.

Josephine Gibson, tl. ee days ago by swallowing carbolic acid, was not buried this morning, as was expected. Why there was a postponement of tho funeral was not explained, and it was the general impression of some of the people familiar with the case that a change had been made in the arrangements in order to prevent Miss Gibson from attending the funeral in the Porter residence, at Eighty sixth street and Twentieth avenue, as she had declared her inteution of doing, despite her nephew's father and the police. At tho home of Mrs. Johnson, 153 Remsen street, where Miss Gibson is staying, it was stated this morning that she was still confined to her bed by illness.

The young woman who answered the ring at the door bell said that Miss Gibson had been ailing since Wednesday and intimated that she was no worse than yesterday, when she said she would attend the funeral to day, regardless of her relatives. At the Porter residence, Bensonhurst, the greatest secrecy regarding the funeral was observed. It seemed as though a visit was anticipated from Miss Gibson and that precautions had been taken to prevent a scene. When an Eagle reporter called there a man was seated on the veranda beside the front door, and in front of the parlor window, a woman was in the hall and another In tho corridor, where tho body rested in a handsome casket and surrounded by many floral tokens. A servant was also close at hand in the rear of the house.

The man apparently on guard seemed to be expecting a aurprlso of some kind and was prepared to meet it. When the reporter entered tho yard he sprang up and walked forward to learn tho misBion of the caller. A lavender satin ribbon and garland of flowers at the door bell Indicated that the funeral had not been held. The man apparently on guard was respectfully oskod If lie could say at what time the funeral would be held. "I don't know," he replied rather quickly.

"Will Mr. Porter's remains be Interred this afternoon?" "I've got nothing to say," was his anower. "Will Miss Gibson, his aunt, be permitted to see the body before It Is Interred?" "I don't know." "You nppoar to be on guard here. Are you on officer?" "What's tti.it to you?" he snapped. At this time a woman appeared at tho front door and invited the man to come into the house.

Another woman's voice at the front window, behind tho closed blinds. seconded tho Invitation, but the man did not Criticism of an Engineer Appointed by Mayor Johnson. Cleveland, August 24 Engineer Ben zenburg of Milwaukee, who was summoned by Mayor Johnson to inspect the work done in the water tunnel, says that his chief criticism of the work, as far as he has been able to ascertain, is that the fresh air pipes were not continued to the race of the tun nel instead of being stopped a few feet oeyona tne locks. Mr. Benzenburg says that this method would have kept the men continually sup plied with fresh air and would have elimin ated the possibility of having it contam inates oy Deing forced through any poison ous gases which might have collected be tween the air locks and the places where the men were at work.

TWO STRIKES COMPBOMISED. Structural Iron Men and Painters Get Part of Their Demands. San Francisco, August 24 The strike of the structural iron workers, involving 250 men, has been settled.

Just for the oddity of things and to relieve the monotony, a burglar jumped on a car, rode out to Flatbush last night, did a little job and got away. To day Mrs.

Wining of 37 Ocean avenue is mourning tho loss of much valuable jewelry and tho police have made the customary "investigation." This burglar evidently reads the news papers, for he knew that it wasn't necessary to burden himself with a jimmy or any other tools. He merely went to the bouse, which is a two story wooden one and well appointed, opened a back blind, kicked in a window and then went through the house. There was no one at home, which fact was evidently In possession of the burglar. About midnight a brother of Mrs. Wining came home and when he went upstairs tho sight that met his eyes would have put out of the running the result said to have been made by the proverbial bull in the china shop.

Everything that the closets, bureaus, dressers, commodes and secretaries con tained was scattered over the floor, beds, chairs and tables, but in all the chaos this brother of Mrs. Wining 'was unable to find any jewelry, much to his disgust, for it was there previously. Therefore, the sup position is that the burglars took these valuables with them. The house was locked up tight this morn ing and continued ringing at the bell pro duced no response. Neighbors told of the details of the burglary, but said they heard nothing the crashing glass, pieces of which could be seen about the yard and near the window this morning.

The police were on hand, walked around the house, went through it, ordered the window nailed up and then sauntered off. They won't tell how much the loss is, and, as the neighbors don't know and none of the family could be found, the public must remain in the dark. There have been so many burglaries of vacant houses in the Flatbush and Parkvllle police precincts of late that one man was heard to remark this morning that it looked as if the burglars had access to the st of vacant houses kept by the police, so well do they know their location. BALLET GIRLS' WHITE LIST. Theater Managers Who Are Not Immoral to Be Listed for the Public.

London, August 24 A meeting of one hundred ballet and chorus girls, this week, discussed the best way of protecting girls against Immoral managers.

Edward M. Shepard has planned a trip to Europe early in September, and if he gets away as now expected he will not return to Brooklyn until some time after the political conventions are held in September and October. Mr. Shepard was In the early summer spoken of as a candidate for Mayor on the regular Democratic ticket. He is now at Lake George, and his friends believe that his determination to make tho trip across the Atlantic so late in the season is duo somewhat to the wish to avoid an embarrassing situation.

Should he remain at home, no doubt Mr. Shepard would be brought to the necessity of having his name discussed as a candidate and might be importuned by some of his friends in tho regular organization not to allow his name to be used. As already stated, early in the summer some of Mr. Shepard's friends were quite confident that he would consent to run for Mayor, and that he would bo tho candidate if the Brooklyn regular Democracy had its say. For two or three years past Mr.

Shepard apd James Shovlin have been on excellent terms, and the Shepard boom is ascribed to Mr. Shevlin more than to any other man. Mr. Shepard, contrary to the ordinary opinion held of him, is very far from being a thoroughgoing independent in politics. Those who know him best and who are familiar with the bent of his mind consider him essentially a strong partisan.

His brief excursion into independent politics was made in the name of Democracy, and when it foiled he returned to the regular fold. It is true he bolted Bryan once, but last year supported the Nebraskan conscientiously on the imperialistiie issue. No one who knows Mr. Shepard well douiits that he believed from the bottom of his heart that President McKlnley's policy meant danger to the American form of government. It is quite probable that under favorable circumstances Mr.

Shepard might have considered favorably the tender of a nomination for Mayor. He, like many successful lawyers, might easily be tempted by an opportunity to exercise executive power, though his tastes lie along national or state lines more than in municipal lines. But the re cent police revelations and the bold affront cry of Tammany is said to have been too much for his sensibilities. It is now be lieved that he has defluitely made up his mind to refuse any advances from Tammany, even through the instrumentality of his friend, Mr. Shevlin.

As the campaign approaches it becomes more evident that Tammany will need a man of the Shepard type to pull it through, but unless some one with similar reputation for tegri nd less sr is found even good machine Democrats realize that their case is rather a desperate one. An intimate friend of the Brooklyn lawyer and publicist said yesterday that ho was sure Mr. Shepard no longer entertained any thought of a Mayoralty nomination, even if he had considered it earlier in the year. He said also that Mr. Shepard's interests were confined to national policies and not to matters of municipal administration.

'Neither Mr. Shepard nor any of his friends." this man added, have any confidence in the intentions of the Brooklyn Republican organization. They have tho same political Ideals as Tammany. It Is spoils and nothitnr but soolls thev are after. Mr.

Shep ard is interested in an honest administra tion of the city government, as every good citizen should be. but most of them do not see much better chance of attaining it througn Rcnublican channels than through the regular Democratic machines." However, there are a good many former Sheoardites enlisted in the Citizens' Union cause men like Henry Hentz, George Foster Peabody and Charles Jerome Edwards. Mr. Peabody used to be treasurer of tho 'Shepard organization and would be enthusiastically supported by them for controller. Mr.

Ed wards said to day. "I scarcely know of a better suggestion for controller than Mr. Pea body. He unites a great genius for details with broad and comprehensive views of financial problems. If elected he would make one of the greatest controllers that New York ever had.

'As concerning a candidate for mayor, it is my opinion that Alexander E. Orr is the best sueeestion so far made. He is unquestionably tho finest character in New York to day. A man who began life with his ten fingers and who has amassed as man millions in legitimate enterprise is the sort of man who ought to be nominated for mayor. If any man in the city has a passion for honest government it is he.

No one is more disinterested. in his care for public interest." WILLIAM N. DYKMAN BETTER. What Was Thought Possibly Appendicitis Turns Out to Have Been Acute Indigestion Only. The many friends of William N.

Dykman of the firm of Bergen Dykman, who came home from the Thousand Islands suffering with what was at first feared to be appendicitis, will be glad to learn that a more expert diagnosis has developed tho fact that Mr. Dykman's illness was due only to acuto Indigestion. Mr. Dykman went to the St. Lawrence summer resort three weeks ago to remain a considerable time, but returned suddenly when symptoms akin to those usually developing appendicitis were manifested.

His return was duo to a desire to have export surgical and medical attention should his condition require it. i Mr. Dykman put up at the Manhattan Hotel, Forty second street and Madison ave 1 nue, whore he now is. Regarding his condi tion, he said to day it was normal again and there was no thought, of any serious Illness. A SOUTH AMERICAN STRIKE.

Railroad Employes 3,000 Strong and Armed Threaten Trouble. London, August 24 "Three thousand laborers engaged In constructing a branch of the Southern Railway from Prengels to Bahla Blanca have gone on strike, alleging that their wages arc in arrears," says a dispatch to the Times from Buenos Ayres. "Most of them are armed, and they have assumed a menacing attitude. The govern men has ordered troops to the scene." Woodruff Said to Have Asked Citizens' Union to Nominate Him. ANT! TAMMANY AMMUNITION.

Big Stock Already On Hand, It Is Said, for Furious Attack on Administration. Controller Coler seemo to be placed in a difficult position by the number of sources from which mayoralty nominations are bo ing held out to him. If he listens to all the organizations which are said to be desirous of conferrig that high honor upon him, some people believe he will be driven to distraction as to which to accept. In his case, the charmers of the old song are simultaneous. That is to say.

some of the Controller's friends profess to believe that the Tammany and anti Tammany people are equally anxious to make him their choice. That there is possibility of design in the circumstance and that possibly the Controller has changed his mind about Tunning for office this year appears from the fact that he no longer prohibits the use of his name in connection with the office of Mayor. After a talk with Mr. Coler yesterday, Hugh McLaughlin declared that if there was a public demand for him the Controller ought to listen to the people's voice that is, the voice of Democracy. On the other hand, what ought to be considered as more than mere circumstantial evidence was furnished in a letter sent by one of three or four mcst prominent Republicans in Brooklyn to a prominent member of the Citizens' Union conference committee yesterday.

It is said the writer was Lieutenant Governor Woodruff. He seemed to be considerably exercised over the publication in the Eagle of the fact that there was a quiet boom in the Republican machine here for Color. He wanted the man to whom the letter was addressed to go to Color and offer him the anti Tammany nomination. "1 know that Mr. Coler has figures in his possession, which, it' published, would blow Tammany' Hall sky high," the Citizens' Union man remarked to the Eagle reporter.

"I do not consider myself authorized to offer nominations to anybody. That was not the reason why I was placed on the committee, and, beside, it seemed to me a strange thing that Mr. Coler should have ready and compiled such figures and should have kept Ihem quiet, if he Is the great independent public official that sonic of us are inclined to think. It seemed to me that these circumstances might be construed as meaning that Mr. Coler would be willing to give out these startling facts and figures in return for nomination, on the fusion ticket.

"How div. Oilcan friend learn thr. Color possession such facts?" looks to inc at; jrr. Coler m' 'st have told him so. The proposal of Coler by the Republicans being impractical, apparently, there was a desire on tho part of my Republican friend that, the Citizens Union should make the tender.

What the feeling of the Citizens Union is concerning Mr. Coler I am unable to say. Anyway, I cannot make him the offer just yet." DEAD M0T0RMAN BLAMED. State Eailroad Commissioners Give Out Findings on Kensington Junction Wreck. Albany, August The State Board of Railroad Commissioners to day made public its findings in the ease of the accident at Kensington Junction lost Sunday night, in which a Long Island Railroad train ran into a troiley on the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Company, killing two persons and injuring twenty seven.

The board places tho responsibility for the accident upon the niotor.nan of the trolley car. who disregarded the signals. The board makes tile following findings: "That the Long Island Railroad Company. under a traffic arrangement, is operating Ha steam trains over the tracks of the I'rcs pect Park and South Brooklyn Railroad Company and the tracks cf the Prospect Park and Coney Island Railroad Company; both of these roads are equipped for electric opera tions and electric cars arc operated over them. "That the Kensington Junction is equipped with a model interlocking plant in good condition; its switches and signals were set for steam train No.

1.714 and this bad the right of way over the Junction. "That the motorman and conductor of the electric ear No. 1.0S2 hud been running over this junction for some time previous to the accident and were familiar with the switches and signals at the junction and their operation. "That the weather was clear and the rail dry at the time of the accident. "That Motorman Slrinek caused this accident by disregarding the signal, which was set against him.

This signal ia located about 100 feet r.orth of the point, whero the collision occurred, and ho should not have passed It." The board's expert makes tho following recommendations, which arc made tliu recommendations of the board: "While this Junction Is protected by a mod ern Interlocking plant in condition and properly operated and, if signals are obeyed, I a collision between trains or nars on the two lines could not occur, to prevent i renee of an accident under similar corell I tions, we recommend tha'. a derailing switch be placed in the southbound track of the Prospect Pari: and Coney Island ftailroa 1 I Company about 100 fret from the point of the Junction; and that a 'J 1 1 switch be plaeeil southbound trncl; of tho Prospect Park and Souib lirooklyn Company about 200 feci from the point of tho Junction.

SHE MAY NEVER SEE AGAIN. Thro wer of Nail Arrested for Assault Injured Child in Long Island College Hospital. Tilly Herman, 8 years old.

Is In the Long Island College Hospital hovering between life and death, with the chances in favor of her recovery, according to the attending physician of that institution, but she will be totally biintl for life. Her right eye was struck by a nail thrown by a playmato yesterday afternoon and so badly Injured that it dropped from its socket. The other eye soon became affected, and now she has lost the sense of sight entirely and probably forever. Tilly lived with her parents at 132 Eighteenth street, which is in the neighborhood of Terry Mcdovc rn's residence. Next door to her lives Constantino Dickerson, 10 years old.

The little girl and boy have been playmates and chums for some time, although they have had. like other youngsters, many petty ounrrcls. So far as can be learned, however, their dislike for one another as a result of these quarrels was never so marked that, either of the parents thought, that any harm would result, therefrom. The Dicker son boy is now under arrest charged with assault upon the girl, but it Is not believed by the police that his motive was purposely to injure her. but.

that the loss of her eyesight was brought about through an accident. Tilly Herman was an attractive child, with long. (lowing reddish hair, and eyes of blue that had often been remarked for their brilliancy and beauty. Yesterday afternoon she was playing in the yard in front of her home when the Uiekersou boy ami a playmate came along. The little boy is said to have made some disparaging remark to the girl, which called forth tin expression of contempt from her.

Then the nail was thrown, but as to the cause of the throwing there are two stories. The girl and her parents are Inclined to think that the boy threw it as a punishment for the air of disdain with which his remark to the girl was received. They seem to think that he deliberately threw tho nail at the girl's eye, not thinking what a difficult task it would be to hit a person there. The boy'B story Is that his companion, who was standing some distance away, asked him for a. nail.

The Dickerson boy had a pocketful of wire nails, about, four inches long. He took or.e from his pocket and boylike, Instead of handing It to his chum, threw it. to him. Just, then the girl ran directly in front, and the hard pie'ee of iron and wire struck her point foremost In the center oi the eye. The iittle airl uttered a howl of pain and her mother came running into tho yard and catching her little one in her arms drew her lace into her lap.

Then peculiar thing, and one almost, unheard of. happened. The girl's injured eye dropped out of its socket and tell in her mother's, lap. Mrs. Herman was overcome by seeing her little girl's eye in her lap that sin; fainted and had to be cared for by neighbors.

Meanwhile a woman, living In the vicinity, but whose name could not bo learned this morning, hastily grabbed tip little Tilly, and wrapping cloth about her head, rati to a Court street car and carried the suffering child in her arms to tho Long Iclalitl i'olicsre Hospital, fully two miles away. The hospital authorities reported tho matter to the police and young Dickerson was arrested last on a charge of assault.

Perhaps they have already been repaired, but, if not, any industrious putty molder, who possesses enough glass, will stand a fair show of getting the job. A large boarding house, known as the Hotel Wyndam, holds forth at SO Henry street, with Mrs. Hannah Loughlin as Its proprietor, and it was owing to the awnings which Mrs. Loughlin had hung over the numerous windows that even more glass did not surrender unconditionally.

Robert Foy, an alleged 16 year old desperado, has been on the wsr path. It is declared that he broke the windows and it is he who now reposes, gracefully as possible, in the care oi the city. On August 27 Robert will take a leading part in a. one act production at the Adams street police court, with Mrs. Loughlin playing opposite him.

Robert by profession is a chore boy.

The latter when Mrs. Loughlin took him in at the Hotel Wyndam and gave him work and a place to sleep, but it was a question of finances which led to the extensive operations in glass yesterday. Robert is not the only person in the world who possesses a firm conviction that his pay is absurdly small in consideration of his abilities.

Not overy one, however, adopts Robert the restive's method of protesting. He vowed vengeance in a loud tone of voice and threw stones when his expectations were not realized. Early yesterday morning the occupants of the Wyndam were made aware of an extraordinary disturbance at the corner of Henry and Pineapple streets. "I'll break your windows," cried a voice, and the people in the house know that it was Robert's. "You just try it," said another, and the folk who looked out of the windows recognized the person of Mrs.

Loughlin. the landlady. "I'll smash every window in vour houso for you. that's what'll I do," cried Robert, the chore boy, more noisily "I'll have you arrested," said Mrs. Loughlin, but Robert's warrior blood had mounted and threats of arrest troubled him not.

Kob ert was gathering stones and in a minuto he began to let them fly. "Here they come," he shouted in preliminary and Instantaneously came the sound of crashing glass. Perhaps Robert would not be able to hit a barn door, but he certainly demonstrated his ability to hit a hotel window. He circled round once or twice, until hands none too kindly laid hold of him. Then, and then only, did tho assault cease.

"I'll be around to night," said Robert, "and break all the other windows." Robert is very thorough in his habits and when once he undertakes a task he likes to finish it. No doubt he would have fulfilled his promise had not Mrs. Loughlin interfered in behalf of her glass. She Journeyed around to tho Adams street policu station and made complete arrangement? for Robert's arrest.
