Man Left for Nearly Two Days Unsheltered and No Aid Sent.

Some of the newspapers recount that in a municipality adjoining New York a man was recently discovered to be affected with smallpox, whereupon ho was ejected from his abiding place and left to shift for hlm selr. He appealed to a policeman, who forced him to travel at a safe distance ahead to a point within the limits of the City of New York, and then, of course, abandoned him. The man made his way to a vacant lot and sank to the ground exhausted. He lay there for the better part of two days, unsheltered, without food or drink, and without aid of any sort. Conscientious through all his suffering, he warned passersby of the nature of his disease and sought to keep them away from him.

Nevertheless, a throng of curious cowards hovered about him, but at a prudent distance, without offering any assistance. Finally the Board of Health sent a vehicle to convey him to North Brother Island. If the facts are as reported and there is every likelihood of their being so what a commentary do they suggest upon the senseless popular dread of the most preventable ot all grave diseases!

Ponds Had Not Been Cleaned in Four Years Until Last Month. THEN THE TIP WAS PASSED. Investigation to Develop Whether or Not the Pay Rolls Have Been Padded. Water Commissioner Dougherty has been engaged with the trial of Engineer John M. Smith on the inspection of the ponds from which Brooklyn receives its water supply.

He has spared sufficient time to take steps to make a rigid investigation of the rumored falsification of the pay rolls In the Brooklyn Water Department. The Water Commissioner has nothing to say in this matter, but It is known that he has unearthed much evidence. The alleged method of falsification employed is to certify certain men who hav2 practically little or no work, as having been drawing pay for every working day. The pay is drawn and it is alleged that a division of spoils is made. Just how far the investigation has progressed or who is implicated is unknown.

Commissioner Dougherty refuses to give out any information until the time comes when he believes a revelation necessary. It is said there have been many cases in the Brooklyn department of unjust and exorbitant charges for work which has been performed. These and similar rumors and charges will be thoroughly investigated. The Smith case is believed to have led the gweeplng investigation the commissioner is now making. Commissioner Dougherty spent this morning taking further testimony in the hearing of tt against Smith, who is super 'nterident of conduits and reservoirs, on the that he has failed to keep the supply Former Corporation Counsel represented Engineer Smith ary Edward Bronsoti of conducted the prose estimony during knowledge oortant vvs to cleauv.

replied thai. from the Brooklyn sioner was coming to spection and that the ponds shouii ed as hurriedly as possible. "I got the order from De Verona," explained Mr. Smith, "I went to the Brooklyn office and he gave me the orders. He said that the Commissioner was going down and he said he wanted the ponds cleaned, and the streams running into them as well." Testimony showed that the ponds had not been cleaned for years and the engineer declared that his superior knew it.

When asked who his superior was he replied that he was Engineer Robert Van Buren. The question of the correct certification of the pay roll next came up and the secretary asked If he had ever certified to men as having done work which he knew they had not done and the engineer emphatically declared that he had not. Commissioner Dougherty took up the questioning and disclosed the facts leading up to Smith's appointment. The position, it was found, had been created In 1898. and Smith was appointed on the first ot April of that year, but not from a civil service list.

How the position was created the witness could not tell, hut he did know that it was not a civil service position. Commissioner Dougherty the progress of the trial at this point with the following statement: "My recollection of the testimony of Mr. Smith is that he had received no reports from Leander Wright for from two to three months. This must be explained. Another point is that Harry Wright Is said to have been engaged upon the payrolls, but nothing has been shown In evidence which would show that he had.

No one has stated that the handwriting placed in evidence in the exhibits was his." Commissioner Dougherty then adjourned the hearing. DELAP DIED SUDDENLY. Coroner Williams has been notified to hold an Inquest in the case of Charles Delap, aged 52 years, who died suddenly yesterday at his residence at 1,788 Pacific street. The deceased was a son of the late Peter Delap, well known In the Bedford section and a wealthy merchant in Fulton street, and a brother of Dr. George W.

Delap, was coroner. This is the third death In the Delap family within a year. It is belie vod that the demise of Charles was due to heart disease. BOYS GOT A WARNING. Precinct Detective Louis Stiefbold of the Sheepshcad Bay Precinct was sent up to the entrance to the field of the race track yesterday afternoon to stop the boys who sell racing tips there, as numerous complaints have been made to Captain Colgan about the nuisance.

The detective arrested four of them and this morning when they were arraigned before Magistrate Higglnbotham in the Coney Island court they were allowed to go with a warning. JUST THE SAME AS DEAD. Application was made to Justice Gaynor In the Supreme Court to day by Lawyer H. B. Smith, to be substituted as attorney for Nellie T.

Clancy, in the suit of William E. Hack, against her and E. E. S. Thompson, on the ground that her former attorney, Albert T.

Patrick, was In state prison, on a conviction of murder. Justice Gaynor said: "He is the same as dead, and no order of substitution is necessary. All legal contracts with a lawyer are void when he is a convicted felon." MATTHEWS' EARLY CLOSING. A. D.

Inspection invited. Flatbush Fulton St. TIE II Mr. Dady's Song, "Up a Tree," Might Have Changed to "Into the River." A MISTAKE IN THE SIGNALS.

Group of Eminent Republican Politicians Seemed to Be the Target of the Yacht Admiral. Michael J. Dady, Charles Devoy, Congressman Bristow. JuBtin McCarthy, secretary to Borough President Swanstrota, and several other well known Republican politicians, had a narrow escape from drowning last night when a steam yacht, supposed to be the Admiral, crashed into the iron steamboat Cepheus as the latter was approaching the foot of Grand street with the members of the Charles S. Devoy Association ot the Twelfth Assembly District aboard.

The club yesterday had Its. annual outing to Point and was returning home when the accident occurred. Tl persons were injured and great excitement was caused by the collision. Most of the 1,300 excursionists aboard the Cepheus became panicstrlcken, and, the officers of the ship had difficulty in preventing many of them from leaping overboard. Some fainted "and several ludicrous efforts were made to escape by those who thought that the ship was about to go to the bottom of the river.

The Cepheus was on her way to the dock at the foot of Hamilton avenue. The. Pilot says that as the steamer approached the foot of Grand street he saw a yacht ahead, and whistled a signal. The yacht, he claims, did not give him seaway and in a jiffy the boats crashed together. The ot the yach struck the Cepheus amidships and tearing through the paddle box to the deck made! a hole elx feet wide.

In the natural recoil the Cepheus listed and the yacht's anchor got fast in the wrecked timbers. The strain soon broke the anchor chain and the ships parted, the yacht proceeding apparently uninjured up the Bast River. Mr. Dady, Mr. Devoy, Congressman Bristow, Mr.

McCarthy and several friends were seated behind the paddle box of the Cephus, near the stern of the boat, when the collision occurred. All were in a Jovial mood, Mr. Dady entertaining hi friends by singing the song, "Up a A Tree," which has become quite popular among the Republican politicians, particularly Mr. Dady's friends in this borough. It was written by one ot Mr.

Dady's acquaintances, and the Elections Commissioner renders it with excellent effect. He had reached the second stanza of the sons when he fell forward in his seat and stopped singing. The others seated around, moved by the same force, piled on top of Mr. Dady. The next minute the bowsprit of the Admiral plowed into the side the paddle box near where Mr.

Dady and his friends were seated. They had scarcely time to take in the situation when the others on the boat began to hurry to their side of the craft. Two or three men started to jump over beard but Mr. Dady, who was nearest the yacht, forgetting his own plight, reached out and grabbed two of them and hauled them back into the boat. Mr.

McCarthy took care of another man who wanted to jump overboard. The latter said to day that he had never witnessed such a panic as prevailed during the few minutes after the two boats met. He said that every one was filled with the Idea of getting overboard before theXIephaus sank. Scared and excited, the excursionists in the momer.t of collision, made a wild rush for life preservers and camp chairs. The officers and a few cool heads tried to quiet them, but found, as usual, that a crowd gone mad is about the very hardest thing in the world to handle.

One woman, threw two camp chairs overboard and would have followed them had not three or four men restrained her. Another picked up a piano stool and made a wild dash through the saloon to the deck, evidently with the intention or tumbling into the river. She failed to bore herself through the wall of humanity massed on the deck. A very large German fdolishly wedged himself in a window frame only to discover that it's much easier to get into a hole than to get out of it. A half dozen meh grabbed him by the heels, and.

with a long pull and a strong pull, released him. The Cepheus Ilnally righted herself and fear vanished in a returning sense of security, which deepened as the boat slowly steamed to the Hamilton avenue dock. The injured persons are Charles Asmussen, 26 years old. of 355 Bieecker street, Manhattan, whose right knee cap was fractiyed; Joseph Walker, 22 years old, of 69 Third stree, concussion of the brain, and inernal injuries, and Consance Hech, 26 years old, a fireman of the Cepheus, contusions and internal injuries. After being attended to by an ambulance surgeon when the boat had landed the injured men were taken to their homes in cabs.

The officers of the Cepheus believe that the yacht that ran into the Cepheus Is the Admiral. A yacht of that name Is owned by George It. Sheldon. The Cepheus steamed down to Erie Basin thlB morning where the damage to her is being repaired. The repairs will be completed to day and she will take out another excursion party to morrow.

HORSES BURNED TO DEATH. Three horses, valued at $400, were burned to death last nipht in a fire which destroyed the one etory frame stable at 549 Rockaway avenue, occupied by Goodman Brothers, expressmen. The loss to the building was $300. The cause, of teh fire Is unknown. SLIPPED ON A MATCH.

Occurred Through a Ma the King's Chances of lit very Are Meager, Dr. John B. Murphy of Chicago, dean of the faculty of Rush Medical College, has tele graphed to the New York Medical Journal the following statement regarding King Edward "The official bulletins are vague and indefinite as the doctors do not state whether the perityphlitic abscess was due to appendicitis, carcuinna or perforating ulcer.

They infer that It was appendicitis, but the clinical course for five days preceding' the operation docs not correspond with that inference. "If it be an appendlcal perityphlitis, opened and drained witn no attempt at removal of the appendix, his chances of recovery, allowing for his age and mode of living, should be 97 per cent. Even if he has a gangrene of a small area of the cecum from a perla phendlcal abscess, his chances of recovery should be good unless the infection be very virulent. One would' infer from the mild symptoms the day previous to the operation that it was not violent. "If the perityphlitis abscess be from a perforating ulcer of the cecum, the prognosis is more grave, for these perforating ulcers are grave in themselves, particularly the tubercular.

If the perforation occurred through a malignant ulcer his chances of recovery would be very meager, as a resection of the caput coli would be demanded. This is such a long and grave operation that he could scarcely withstand it as it would Involve an Immediate risk of 40 to 43 per cent. "The assumption that the abscess is of ap pendlcal origin is the most logical from his symptoms of pain and syncope on the fifth or sixth day preceding the operation. There was every reason for his physicians withholding the news from the public as long as possible. "If the diagnosis of appendicitis had been made early it is probable the operation would have been performed Immediately as the consensus of opinion of tho American medical and surgical profession Is that the immediate operation, i.

the operation within the first twenty four hours after the inset of symptoms gives the best results, and subjects the patients to the least risk. "There is a unanimity of opinion in the profession that no one, no matter how familiar with the disease, is able to predict from the early symptoms what will the subsequent course of the disease. It is, therefore, incumbent upon the profession to operate early to avoid the probability of later and most dangerous pathologic conditions. Medical treatment is uncertain, inefficient and hazardous and thousands ot lives have been sacrificed by this method of treatment. In Chicago alone in the past three years there have been seven nundred and fifty two deaths from appendicitis.

What a colossal crime. What an indulgent and forbearing public to tolerate such results from the medical profession. On this basis there should be no perityphlitis of appendical origin, as all would be operated before that stage." Allen's Foot a pov. der.

Address Allen S. Olmsted, Le Boy. N. T. Senate Bill Providing for Panama Route Agreed to by a Vote of 252 to 7.

LOST PAPERS CAUSE DELAY. Hepburn Believes the President Will Pail in His Negotiations and Can Then Besort to Nicaragua Scheme. Washington, June 26 The conference re port on the isthmian canal bill was adopted by the House this afternoon by a vote of 252 to 7. When Mr. Hepburn (Iowa), chairman of the Committee on Interstate Commerce, called ftp the conference report, the state ment submitted by him yesterday was read, showing that the effect of the adoption of the report would be the elimination of the House bill and the enactment Into law of Senate bill.

"I desire to move the adoption ot the report," said Mr. Hepburn. "In doing so 1 desire to say that I have not changed in the slightest degree any bellof in the wisdom of the House of Representatives on the 9th of last January At this point further proceedings were blacked by the speaker's announcement that the original papers were missing and that no action could be taken until they were before the House. "The papers should be in the hands of the clerk," observed Mr. Hepburn.

"But they are not here," announced the speaker. "They must be in the Senate. At any rate, it is well settled that a conference report cannot; be considered without the original papers." Later on the papers were found and Mr. Hepburn moved to adopt the conference report. Mr.

Hepburn had quite a long colloquy with Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) over the time in which the' President was to conduot the negotiations with the Panama Canal Company and said that the Senate rejected every proposition made by the House conferees. He said would not have made this report if he did not believe that it was the Senate bill or nothing. He also declared that he, did not believe the. Panama Canal Company possessed anything we cared to buy.

Mr. Hepburn sail he thought the President would fail in his negotiations and could then resort to the other route. Mr. Lurton (Ohio) urged the acceptance ot the report, saying sentiment had been growing in favor of the Panamaroute. Mr.

Underwood (Ala.) said the people ot ris state favored Nicaragua, but he believed it was best to accept the compromise. Mr. Mann (111.) declared it was one step nearer a canal, and that It was due to the efforts of two men. Senator Morgan and Representative Hepburn. (Applause.) The report also was supported by Messrs.

Sulzer (N. Fletcher Adamson Williams and others. Mr. McRae said he considered the substitution of the Panama route for the Nlcara gue route a mounmental blunder. DIGS HIS OWN Only Miner Not Affected by tho Big Strike.

John Daniel Williams is the only mine operator in the coal regions of Pennsylvania who is not affected by one of the greatest strikes the world has ever known. He is the only of the 147,000 miners and op erators in the district who is able at this time to produce a shovelful of freshly mined coal, and the secret of his unique position is that he owns and works his mine alone. It Is not a large mine as mines are regarded In a region that produces 5,000,000 tons of coal a month, yet Williams is now turning out more coal than the others combined. He mines a ton or two a week. Notwithstanding the fact that fancy prices are being offered for coal in Eastern markets, Williams could not be Induced to sell a pound of the product of his mine because he Is in sympathy with the union.

Each day he crawls into the little vein, two feet high by twelve wide, and with his pick and bar mines' coal for his own use. Now that the strike is on he also gives to his neigh bors, but he could not be Induced to accept a cent, for if he did the unions would close his mine and stop his daily fun, for mining to him is nothing but fun, and although he has retired from business, he pursues the occupation merely for recreation. Many years ago, when, after prosperous times in the mines, he was able to buy a little property for $400, he got a lot with a ledge of rock upon It, the whole 145x46 feet. People laughed at him for buying the rock, but he knew coal formation and he saw within it an outcropping of coal, which looked as if it might be ot some value. He found it was, and, although the Susquehanna Coal Company retained the coal rights, he was given permission by Major Irving A.

Stearns to fallow the outcropping vein to the confines of his lot. It was richer than either supposed; and for sfeven years he has' taken coal from it, and there Is lots there yet. He Is 63, and has retired from work, but his great recreation 15 to put on his mining clothes and go into hiB vein. He uses neither powder nor cars, but pulls out what he needs and breaks it with his pick. The opening is small; he has to work on his hands and knees, but he loves it.

He is so jealous of the mine that he will allow no one else to work it, and It is a great privilege to be taken inside and shown what Is to be seen. THE ELECTRIC PAN. In One Summer Its Porce Is a Cyclone. "The electric fan Is a busy member," said an electrician, "and If you will take the time to figure the thing out you will reach some rrther Interesting conclusions. If we could bottle up the force which originates with one of these industrious things, one of the largfer kiud, assuming that it would be allowed to gr.

at full speed, we would soon have wind enough to launch a small cycloEe. Of course, the force expands and dissipates and we come to know it only by the molecular disturbance in the room or office, and in cooling and refreshing influences which result. A little speculation with reference to the revolutions of a fan will probably give us some idea of the amount of fnrce generated. The rapidity of tho fan's whirl depends, of course, on the voltage. We can make them run slowly or rapidly, just as we please.

We can regulate them so they will revolitte anywhere from one to probably sixty times a second. We frequently see electric fans buzzing at such a 1 igh rate of speed that, thoy are apparently transparent. They resemble thin gauze. We can see clear through them and distinguish objects behind them. This is no trick of the eye either.

It is an actual state. "But I said the fan was a busy member. Suppose, to illustrate this, we assume that the fan makes cniy two revolutions a second, and this Is rather movement for a fan these days. We will find on this basis that the fan will make 120 revolutions every minute, 7,200 in an hour. 172,800 In one day, or twenty four hours, 5,184,000 in one month, or thirty days, acd if we allow only three months for the fan seasoD, we will and that this whirring apparatus will turn completely around 15,552,000 times.

If wc assume (hat the fan would make sixty revolutions In a second the figures become dizzily high, and the quickness with which the fan works almost shocks man's puny conception. A fan n.skmg sixty revolutions a second would whirl around 2,400 times every minute, 144 000 times an hour, 3,454,000 times in one day, allowing 24 hours for a day, 103,620,000 in a nionth and over 300,000,000 times during the summer, If we allow three months for the Eeeson."

SOCIETY A TBEADMILIi. Rnliaifla nt T.lfp Amn rlw trip Sri Called ClnsR. 4o i nottAr nf fact soeletv Is a tread mill, For those like Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, who'would keep well fore, there can be no rest. The ceaseless.

rotation continues' from year's end to year's end. To falter is. to slip back, to halt Is to drop out. The season in New York may b6 said to begla with the Horee Show in November. By that time the clans, that nave Deen scattered during the summer have opened their town, houses and are prepared for the winter's fray.

Horse Show week is marked by more or less informal dinner parties and more' pr less riotous supper parties. Following th Horse Show comes the introduction of the season's debutantes. For the more fortunate balls and dances are but the great majority make their bows at afternoon teas. This, too, the season of autumn weddings, and the weeks are crowded with events hymeneal. "A little later the opera season begins and.

before the middle of December there Is the Assembly Ball. After the first of January, there are so many private balls and dances that invitations to subscription balls go begging. But certain cotillons, like the Cinderella and the Junior, are annual fixtures. For three months there Is an ever Increasing whirl of gayety. Every day, every hour, has Its event which the woman that pretends to social prominence cannot afford to ignore.

The pace Is terrific, and how any except those of unusual mental and physical vigor stand the strain, must ever remain a mystery. For many the forty days of Lent, Intervening between the season proper and the early spring season, afford little rest. Life at the fashionable Lenten resorts has of late years become but a meager modification of the life In town. What with dinner parties, high play at bridge, and late hours, there is really small relaxation from the dissipation of the winter. "Easter brings an avalanche of weddings, and then there is a rush across the Atlantic for the London season, which means more dinners, more opera, more balls, and eventually more indigestion and more Insomnia.

By August the Newport season Is oh, and the same ceaseless round continues. Then there is a brief period when house parties are the thing, but big dinners and bridge are features here, too and then it Is Hors Show time again." C. S.
