WALSH'S CASE IS MYSTERIOUS. Found Helpless in the Bottom of His Wagon, the Horse Jogging Along Peacefully. Persons who reside in Flatbush at an the intersection of Beverly Road: and East Seventeenth street, were aroused last night at about 12 o'clock by loud conversation out in the street. When they peered, out of the windows tbey noticed two ambulances standing in Beverly Road, with several men grouped about them, indulging in what 'seemed to be rather jocular conversation. Pretty soon a stretcher containing a limp form was transerred from one ambulance another.

Then the men stood around for a. little while longer and one of them was leard to say: "Well, I guess he'll be dead by the time we get him to. the hospital." The ambulances then, separated, one driving in the direction of the Kings County Hospital and the other turning about and soing along Beverly Road in the direction oj the Boulevard. There seemed to be three men in this ambulance. As It crossed the.

Brighton Beach Railroad track, where a number of young people were waiting for a train, one of the men called out from the ambulance "Girls, don't you want a ride?" The girls made some off hand reply and the ambulance did not stop. All this proceeding was very mystifying to the; Flatbush people who had been aroused from their beds by the noise. It was, as a matter of fact, an incident in a case that seems to he full of mystery. The patient who was taken to the K.ings. County Hospital is not dying, however, as the people who heard the conversation in the road were led to believe, but is reported to be getting along, all right.

He is Daniel Walsh, 50 years old an pressman, residing in Eighteenth, avenue, between Benson avenue and Eighty sixth iatreet, Bath Beach. Walsh is. suffering from Internal injuries, in addition to having four fractured ribs. He is cne victim of a collision which took place last night on Fourth avenue and Sixty fifth street about 10:30 o'clock. Walsh was driving a light express wagon.

rWhen passing the corner a truck driven by an unknown man crashed into his wagon ana the force of the collision threw Walsh to the ground. He was assis'ed back into the wagon by two strange men and was again started for home. Walsh told the police he xneu to urive, dui ms injuries wuuji uui pci mit him to stay on the seat, and he fell back into the bottom of the wagon. When Policeman John Griffin of the Bath Beach station saw the horse and wagon, passing down Eighteenth avenue, near Eighty first street last night without any driver he concluded chere must be something wrong. He stopped the animal, peeked: into the wagon and saw Walsh lying on the floor, apparently in great pain.

He, took him to the Bath Beach police station, where the sergeant summoned, an ambulance from the Coney Island Emergency Hospital. Surgeon Schenck responded: and, said. Walsh was suffering from the above described injuries. The surgeon said this morning he removed the patient immediately to Beverley road; where the ambulance from the: Kings County met him and the patient was transferred, to that ambulance. It is a frequent thing for the ambulance from the Kings County Hospital to meet other ambulances half' way and transfer the patients, but the transfers are not always accompanied by the incidents which created euch a stir last night.

Rochester, September 27 Detectives "Ma ffuire and McDonald of the local police made an important arrest last night in the capture, on information from Syracuse, of a man giving the name of Robert C.

Passengers Bring Mo Treasure. Port Townsend, September 27 The steamship Senator has arrived from Nome with nearly 500. passengers and over half a million In treasure.

All speak in high terms of the country, as a mining section, but say that the la wa are. such that it will be years before the. country will open up. They say that not one new claim has been opened in the vicinity of' Nome this season, for the reason that when prospectors; find pay diggings some ono comes along and claims it by right of prior location: and it Is then tied: up. in court.

The largest nugget ever found in the north was. taken out of Anvil Creek. September 14. It; weighs: 97 ounces, and is valued at $1,552. A rich strike is reported on the head of rouse Gulch.

The claim was bonded for. $30,000 and the bond had. lapsed but a few days before the strike was made. There are so many sick and indigent people at Nome that the question of what shall be clone with them is the main topic. This year there is no government transport on which, they can be sent south, as was the case last year, and the outlook for them is exceedingly gloomy.

The hospitals are taxed to their utmost capacity and the sick and distressed are clamoring; for admission. Just before the Senator sailed a mass meeting was to: be called, for the purpose of raising money to send that class out on the last boat. News comes from Dutch Harbor to. the ef fect that the killing of seals on St. Paul's.

In trying 10 follow out this determination the Stan tons spent the entire forenoon at the Myrtle avenue police court trying to persuade Miss Stanton to swear out a complaint. against Rivets on a charge of disorderly conduct. 'If I do," exelalme.d Miss Stanton between her sobs, "lie will be angry and If.

JUDGE HMD'S PEWEiS INVOICED FOR Only Two Men Sentenced in the County Court Are Billed for State Prison.

MERCY THE ORDER OF THE DAY. The New Yorker Who Bobbed Jacob Morch an Exception Hill the Tea Thief Let Off Easily. Judge William B. Hurd, in Part 1 of th County Court to day passed sentence on defendants who have been in jail during the summer, and who either pleaded guilty or were convicted this week. The majority of the prisoners were young, and in nearly every ease leniency was shown.

Only, out of the entire lot were sent to, the state prison at Sing Sing. The most severe sentence was that of John Burry, 22 years old, a froquenter of the Bowery lodging houses. On July 2a last he entered the store of Jacob Morch, on Broadway, near Bedford avenue, and, seizins a tray of diamond set pins valued at about $1,500, fled from the place. He. was captured shortly afterward and when arraigned last week pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny.

Barry asked for mercy when called before the bar to day, on the ground' that hia past character was above reproach. In reply to his plea Judge Hurd said: "1 fail to see where there is good character in a man who would commit the desperate crime charged against you. There is no good, character in a person who would eater and dash out ot a store with a tray full of diamonds. The sentence of the court is. that you be confined in Sing Sing at hard labor for a term of seven years and six montbB." Charles Schvvanei, 21 years old, oi 435 Fourth avenue, on June 25 last, stole from Emma Lache.

While he is merely a boy in appearance, Schwaner has been in trouble several times. About a year ago he was sent to the House of Refuge for a petty offense, and while a prisoner thero set tho building on fire. The flames were extinguished before any damage was done and the boy was transferred to the Elmlra Reformatory. Judge Hurd sent him to the State Prison for a term of two years and six months. Robert X.

Hill, stylishly dressed, who lives at 907 East Twenty eighth, street, Manhattan, was sent to the Elmira Reformatory. He was charged with the larceny of 358: chests of tea valued at $7,000 from the warehouse of Robert. Hill, at 107 North Seventh street, Brooklyn. On June 17 young Hill, who was employed iu the warehouse by his uncle, the owner, engaged a truckman to take away the tea and store it in warehouses on Lexington avenue and in State street. In getting at the tea in the Hill warehouse a door was broken open and an officer who discovered the condition of the place started an investigation, which resulted in the arrest ot Hill and Herbert, LeOlalr of Manhattan.

The former admitted his stillt, but I eClair has maintained his innocence and will be tried. Hill, it is charged, represented that LeClalr was in his employ. John Johnson and Michael Clark, who had pleaded guilty to robbery, in that on July 21 they stopped Lee Hoh, a Chinaman, on tho street, and relieved him of $10. were sent to the Elmira Reformatory. In extenuation of their crime the boys told his honor that they were merely skylarking and had seized the Chinaman in a spirit of fun, but Hurd had no faith in i lie story and said that, he was determined to rid the community of the element which follows the btiBlne.ia of holding up people on the streets.

When the sentences were pronounced the mother of one uf the defendans, who had been sitting among the spectators, shrieked and swooned. With some difficulty the court officers removed her to the corridor, where for several minutes she continued screaming. She was finally quieted. The following were also sent to the Elmira Reformatory. Norman Wilkerson, colored, for burglary In entering the apar: meats of John.

REAPPOINTED BY MCKINLEY. His Name Is Before the. Senate and Un less Roosevelt Withdraws It He Will Be Confirmed. Collector George R. Bidwell said this morn lug that the report of charges having been preferred against him in.

Washington, printed in one of the morning papers was the first he had heard of any such He said he knew nothing about the charges and had received no word from the officials of' the Treasury Department of such action. "Ever since I took office," Mr. Bidwell said, "threats have been repeatedly made that charges were to be brought against me, but I never heard anything more about them." ''Do you know any source from which the charges reported to have been made in Washington could, have come?" he was asked. "No, I do. not," Mr.

Bidwell answered. "When you offend people, sometimes they 4o something like that." Mr. Bidwell was asked if there was any possibility of a connection between the reported charges and the aliegatiou said to have been made against him recently by Mc Dougall Hawkes, one of the Republican district leaders of Manhattan. Mr. Hawkes was reported to have accused Collector Bidwell of trying to influence employes in his office in their voting at the primaries.

"No," he answered, "I understand that since then Mr. Hawkes has denied having made any such accusation." Mr. Bidwell treated the whole affair lightly. Asked if he thought there was any movement afoot among the political opponents of the Piatt organization to prevent his being reappointed, he replied: "I have been reappointed already and my commission is In the safe in this office. President McKinley reappointed me two months before the expiration of my term, emphasizing hia satisfaction with the conduct of the office.

"My name has been submitted to the Senate already. If President Roosevelt should decide to fill my place with some one else, he would have to withdraw my name from the Senate, as submitted by President McKinley, first." Mr. Bidwell would not say whether or not he expected President Roosevelt would interfere with the action of his predecessors. He does not seem to havo any apprehension on that score, however. There is not the remotest doubt that Col lecter Bidwell will be supported by the Piatt organization for a continuance in his office.

He iB a friend of Senator Piatt, and at the time he was mado collector four years ago by President McKinley he was chairman of the Republican County Committee of Manhattan, and his appointment was made at the Instance of Senator Piatt and the other Republican leaders. GUESSES ABOUT THE OFFICES. Little as Yet in the Way of Data for a Conclusion as to President's Plans. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, September 27 The Federal office holders in Brooklyn and New York must be In an uncertain state of mind if they believe all that they see in tin; New York papers in regard to their political future. One of the Manhattan journals stated yesterday that Postmaster Wilson would be reappointed, another one announces this morning that, he win not be permitted to retain his place after hia four years' term has expired.

In the same article a few remarks are indulged in concerning the President's intentions toward Collector Bidwell, Appraiser Wakeman and Postmaster Van Colt. The correspondent ot the Eagle is in a position to state with authority that all these predictions are pure and simple. They might be designated as 'takes" were it not the fact that some of them are bound to come true. The real tacts are as follows: The President has come to no decision whatever in regard to any ol' Uih New York Federal appointment. When Chairman G.

W. Dunn of the Republican State Committee called at tho White House yesterday afternoon, the President mado some inquiries of him in rogard to Commissioner of Immigration Fltchic. Postmaster Wilson and the other Federal office holders. He has made similar initiiries oi' other New Yorkers who have called upon him since he began his official duties at the White House and the character of these inquiries may have led Chairman Cunu to believe that the President would not. reappoint Fitchle or Wilson and would reappoint Postmaster Van Cott, but neither Chairman Dunn nor any one else is in a position to state what the President will do in regard to filling Cfieae Federal places in New York.

As to the charges that have he. filed against Collector Bidwell. it may be. said that they are practically the same an those formulated by Professor Onnslou several mouths ago. It Is believed hero, however, that Van Cott's chances of reappointment are good and that Wilson's ami Fltxhle's are bad, but this is conjecture and must not be regarded, in any way as a statement coming from official KING RECEIVES CHOATE.

London, September 27 King Edward received the United States Ambassador, Mr. Choate, in audience at Marlborough House, this morning, and personally renewed to him his expressions of deep sympathy and condolence with Mrs. McKinley and the American people, already expressed in his telegram at the time of President McKinley 's assassination.
