Cfzinilssloner. LODGER BECAME HYSTERICAL. I Mrs. Brawn Had an "Exciting Experi ence With the Occupant of a Furnished Eoom. A young woman applied late yesteroay ai i ternoon at the house of Mrs.

Brawn, at 23 I i 1 Was Riding on a Trolley Car and All He Can Remember Is a Sheet of Flame. WAS THROWN TO THE GROUND, He Does Hot Know "Where the Car "Was Nor Who Carried Him Home. The Rev. Carl Podln, who has charge of the Seamen's Institute, at the corner of Atlantic avenue and Columbia street, is lying at his home, 158 Baltic quite seriously shaken up as the result of a peculiar accident which happened to him about 3 o'clock on Monday afternoon. Just where it happened or who took him home he is unable to state.

Mr. Podin was riding on the front seat of Myrtle avenue car, the only seat he could get, because of the crowd on the car. When seen this morning Mr. Podin told, as well as he was able, because he is suffering from shock, the details of the accident. Ho says the car seemed to be disabled, as before the accident he noticed that the motorman seemed to have considerable trouble.

The motorman might have been a green hand, but this Mr. Podin does not know. Suddenly there was an explosion and a mass of flame shot up Into Mr. Podln's face and at the same time he was thrown to the street. In falling he caught hold of a chain in the effort to save himself and was dragged a considerable distance.

He explained that he was a strong man, having sailed before the mast In his younger days, and his first thought was to keep himself from failing on his head. He was unable to do this, however, and fell down after being dragged for some distance. He says, also, that he was allowed to lay there for quite a while, although he was unconscious. No ono connected with the company has been near him, he says, and he does not even know who took him homo, where he arrived In a half dazed condition. Mr.

Podin was this morning suffering from intense pains in his head, and said that It was utterly impossible to think connectedly. He said that he felt as If he had a fire inside his head. All Monday night, he said, he had a peculiar sensation, having in his nostrils a constant smell, as of burning fuse, which has not yet entirely left him. He has no bruiaes except a slight abrasion on the left knee, but the pains in his head he describes as almost unbearable. A physician has visited Mr.

Podin twice, but the medical man has beee unable to determine to what extent his patient is injured. The physician says, however, that Mr. Podin lfi suffering from a double shock, the effects of the electricity still being quite apparent, and his nervous system Is much disturbed. Mr. Podin is also much worried over the affairs of the Seamen's Institute, which Is carried on under the auspices of the Central Presbyterian Church, of which the Rev.

Dr. John F. Carson Is pastor. Mr. Podln says, there is a man in charge just now whom he does not know, and the accident has disarranged the affairs of the institute sadly.

More than 200 sailors from the ships In the harbor visit the place each day, and beside that, Mr. Podin has in his charge a good deal of money belonging to the men, bagu containing their effects and othei valuables. Mr. Podin is a young Russian of good birth and education and is an exile from his country and family because he chose to embrace the Christian religion. He has thrown himself devotedly into the work for the sailors, having refused a number of good positions In order to do so.

He was for several years engaged in work under the auspices ot the New York Port Society, but work in Brooklyn was discontinued by that organization because of lack of funds. The Central Church then took up the work and engaged Mr. Podin. he being eminently fitted to carry it on. He was ordained in Dr.

Carson's church a few months ago. FATHER KIELY'S CONDITION. Confined in St. Mary's Hospital, Suffering From Brain Trouble Physicians Say He Cannot Becover. The condition of the Rev.

J. M. Kiely, rector of the Church of the Transfiguration, who is now at St. Mary's Hospital, where he has been confined for several months, is such that he cannot recover. There is a difference of opinion as to the disease from which the priest is suffering.

Several physicians of prominence who have been attending Father Kiely. maintain that he is suffering from soft ening of the brain, but several clergymen who have paid close attention to his case, say that his death will be due to an abcess on the bis nr.wer nf tnste and sV if ht comniaint was snltemng oi tne oram it wouia cause tue loss of these senses. Most of the time be Is unconseious anil unanie to recognize nis friends, who visit him dally. Father Kiely's condition is not generally known among his parishioners, and will cause general regret. His illness dates back over a year, and is attributed to an accident which befell him while returning from a visit ta the Rev.

P. F. O'Hare, rector of St. Anthony's Church, Manhattan avenue. Fa ther Kiely was being driven home in a dog cart, and while going through Bedford avenue, the driver attempted to turn out for a trolley ear.

In doing so he overturned the cart. Father Kielv was thrown to the street and struck on his head. He complained of severe pants aricr tnat and spent several weeks the country, obtaining no relief. His subsequent actions caused his removal to a sanitarium. Phy who examined him there said he was suffering from brain disease, but friends insisted that the fall had caused an abcess to form and his trouble was due to that.

It was requester! that an operation he performed hut the doctors said that It would he useless. It is now insisted that if an operation had been performed at the start, the priest's life would probably have iicpn prolonged. He was removed to Manhattan, where electricity was tried, toil he became so violent that It was with difficulty he was restrained. He was then removed to St. Mary's Hospital.

JONES' STORY WAS UNTRUE. Eugene Jones, the vagrar.t little octoroon hoy. who was found mingling with the newsboys at the Hi oadway ferries in the Eastern District ar.d arrested bv Officer Luke Mnxwvll Mop.day night was again arraigned in the Lee avenue nnlico court to day. When arraigned yesterday Jones told the magistrate that he I war, bora in Santiago do Cuba and had been tnkea to this country as a mas ot bv the! Tfiiriy lii'st rugiment. Herman Meyer "agent for the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to said to day that ho found the hoy's stoiv to be untrue.

Jones' parents Meyer found to lie living at SIB Franklin avenue. They said that the boy had bum to the Colored Orphan Asylum a month ago and had likely made his escape. Jones was remanded until to morrow. CHARITIEK APPOINTMENTS. Charltios: Commissioner Slmls yesterday ap pointed Thomas F.

INSPECTORS INSTRUCTED. fourteen newly appointed deputy fac Th lory inspectors met this morning in the office of Chief Factory Inspector Williams, at 1 Madison avenue, Manhattan, and were instructed In the nature and scope of their duties. I i I I i i Tailors Winning All Along the Line in Brownsville and the Eastern District.

BOSSES SIGN AN AGREEMENT. All the Points on Whicn the Strikers Insisted Have Been Recognized. The strike of the 'Brownsville tailors is being brought to a successful termination under the management of Max Alexander, who since the strike started has kept the men under wonderful control. The eighty or more contractors who have shops in that district are willing to meet the demands of the tailors and furnish bonds for the faithful performance of the contract in the sum of $200. Among the contractors who have signed bonds agreeing to a 25 per cent.

Increase in wages, fifty nine hours to constitute a week'8 work, and the last day of the week to be pay day, are: Abraham Germansky of Osborn street. near Eastern Parkway; Max Yadolowltz ot 84 Belmont avenue, Julius Friedman of Wat kins and Sutter avenues, Abraham Simons of Rockaway and Glenmore avenues, Abraham Jacobs of Stone and Liberty avenues, Harria Eitter of Osborn street and Eastern Parkway, and Alexander Flnkelstein of 241 Watkins avenue. The others will, it is expected, sign with the settlement committee of the strikers before Saturday, so that by Sunday next all the tailors will resume work. Much credit is due those who managed the strike for the quiet, manner in which it was conducted. There was not a single disturbance, nor were the police called upon lu any instance to restore order.

Contractors Yielding in the Eastern District. A settlement committee, which will be appointed by the Eastern District strikers, will meet this afternoon at 51 Morrell street. A hall at this number has been rented because the committee it was thought can perform Its work in a more satisfactory way while in session apart from th emain body of the strikers who have so far made their headquarters at 34 Morrell street. The session of the settlement committee is likely to be interesting, for it will really be the first of a series held which will finally terminate the strike. As to the business to be transacted at the meeting there is plenty In fact, so much that the committee will likely have to remain in session far into the night.

Michael Frink and A. Hollander of the press committee gave to an Eagle reporter an outline of what was to be done. In the first place the applications of from twenty to thirty contractors for a settlement of the strike are to be considered, with more hourly coming in. Nearly all of these contractors have signed or are willing to sign the agreement without any qualifications. In doing so they bind themselves to these conditions: To limit the hours of work per week to fifty nine hours, to be divided into five days work of ten hours each and nine hours on the last or sixth day of the week; that wages must be paid on the last day of the week; that union labor will be recognized and that the walking delegates representing union labor be admitted to the shops and allowed to converse with the employes at all tknes.

Speaking to a reporter of the Eagle, A. Frlnk of the press committee said: "The strikers are winning all along the line. Applications for settlement by the contractors are coming in hourly and we expect that a majority of the strikers will be back at work by tho end of the week. All the branches held meetings yesterday and we expect to complete arrangements for another mass meeting shortly. I hope to see the strike over by the middle of next week.

The only reason I can assign for its probable early termination is the fact that a large number of tto down town houses aTe very busy just 'now and they must have their orders carried through." A contractor, speaking to a reporter, put a different complexion on the situation, saying: "While a good tnany of the contractors are willing to give in a great many are not for the good reason that tficy can get substitute workers from the ranks of Italian women. If a sufficient number of these women can be obtained, which undoubtedly is the case, the shops could be run with but a comparatively few skilled workmen who will overlook the work. If these women are once introduced into the shops nine tenths of the who are now doing work there will be dispensed with." Effect of the Strike on Staten Island. The general strike among the boiler makers and iron workers in the ship yards around New York harbor has had a disastrous effect at Port Richmond, S. where the ship yards are the main industry.

In the big plant of the Burlee Dry Dock Company about three hundred boiler makers and snip riveters stopped work yesterday morning. The streets were crowded with idle men all day. It had been rumored that men were to be brought from Philadelphia to take the places of the strikers, and the men were on hand to watch. The crowd was orderly and a special detail of police, guarded the company's office and yard, had no trouble. During the day the leaders were busy with the other workmen in the D.ant and late in the afternoon it was announced that all of the iron workers in the plant were ready to quit.

Nearly four hundred additional men struck this morning, effectually tying up tho works, as the only men at work at present are nonunion carpenters. The demands of the strikers are the same as those made by the Brooklyn men. W. J. Burlee, president of the company, says that none of the men will be taken hack if the plant is not opened this summer.

Sev oral vessels are in progress of construction and the dry docks aTe full of repair work, Most of the men were opposed to the strike and are tired of loafing already. FTJETHER REPAIRS TO DETROIT. The equipment department of tho Brooklyn Navy Yard is now engaged in putting the finishing touches on the electrical machinery of the Detroit, and within a month will send the ship out for active service.

SUNDAY STEAM BOATING. Justice Stover Sees Wo Reason to Interfere With the Running of a Long Island Ferry.

Supreme Court Justice Stover Is not opposed to running steamboats on Sunday, and in a motion brought before him this morning in the special term, to enjoin a company from running a ferry between the Woodcleft Inn, Freeport, L. and Long Beach, on Sundays, he expressed himself as follows: "I don't see how running a steamboat can very much disturb the sanctity of the Sunday." The motion was brought by Horace Secor, for John R. Randall and William G. Miller, who made a lease to George W. Bunce and John E.

Gurney, allowing them to run their steamboat Mosquito from Woodcleft Inn, Freeport, down a channel one mile in length to a station at Long Beach. The channel, it is claimed, was cut through and Is owned by the plaintiffs. The lease was for three years, from May 15 until September 15, each year, and contained a provision that the boat should be kept clean and In good working order that it should not be run on Sundays. The defendants, however, it is claimed, went to the County Court and got an order giving them leave to run their boat as a ferry on week days and Sundays. The plaintiffs claim that they had the license withdrawn, but the company has continued to ply its boat on Sundays and an injunction is asked to compel it to live, up to the original contract with the plaintiffs.

In answer to a question by the judge, Mr. Secor stated that no irreparable injury was sustained by the running or the boat on Sunday, but it was simply maintained that they be enjoined trom violating a covenant he use of the leased premises. His honor tnen maae the remark quoted above and a(idea that It was not customary to grant an Inlunction unless irreparable injury was alleged. "I can show your honor authorities which hold that it is a misdemeanor to run a steamboat on Sundays," declared Mr. Secor.

"These defendants rely the ferry license from the County Court and say that they are bound to run on Sunday; but a ferry is legally defined as the continuation of a highway, whereas this boat is running from a private dock, through private water, to a private dock." "I don't see that stopping this steamboat on Sunday can be any benefit to you, except to pay you 40 per cent. Instead of 20 per cent." remarked his honor. "That seems to be the only benefit you can obtain." Lawyer Henry P. Keith represented the steamboat company, but the judge said it was unnecessary for him to reply, and asked for the papers. Later the judge returned the papers, denying the motion.
