Handley, 20 years old, who died last night from carbolic acid poisoning, at her home fil Village road and Gravesend avenue. That is the cause of death as set forth in the certificate given to the Health Department. Miss Handley, who was the daughter of an expressman, lived with her parents.

She had not been In good health for some time past and Dr. Stephen Pettit had been attending her. On Saturday night last, according to a statement made to Coroner Burger today. Miss Handley took carbolic acid by mistake for a medicine which had been prescribed for her by the family physician. The two bottles, it is said, stood on a table together and the young girl took up the wrong bottle.

She soon discovered her mistake and told her family of what she had done. Dr. Pettit was summoned and did all that he could for the relief of his patient, but in the meantime peritonitis set in and Miss Handley died at 10 o'clock last night. The doctor. In making out the death certificate did not state the cause of the' peritonitis and inasmuch as the certificate was not specific enough It was rejected by the Health Department.

WAS AN ARDENT LOVER. Puller Wrote Three Inches of Letters to Win Miss McNanghton and Then Went to Jail. The course of true love never did run smoothly, especially if the love is displayed on only oue side. Magistrate Lemon had such a case before him in the Grant street police court this morning and after listening to testimony for nearly a half hour he admitted that the case was beyond his comprehension and that he would have to think it over until Monday. William Fuller, a man about 35 years old, is the lover in the case.

By occupation, when he has any, he is a sailor bold, some times shipping before the mast and at other periods merely a 'longshoreman. He has been in jail for a week because he has pressed his case too closely for the past nine months. This morning, with a week's growth of beard on his face, he was anything but an attraction to the feminine mind. In October, last year, Fuller was cruising about the vicinity of Furman street when the harbor lights of the Floating Bethel canal boat conducted by Captain Meeker, at the foot of Joralemon street, came into view. In the hold of the seafarer's chapel a re ligious meeting was being held.

On the platform were several women, singing hymns and working to save the souls of the sailors. One of these women, Miss Margaret McNaughton, who lives at 600 Seventeenth street, was espe cially attractive in the eyes of Fuller. From that time on. to all accounts, this earth to Fuller seemed but a blank without the person of Miss McNaughton in it. Margaret declared to the magistrate on the stand to day that she had given Fuller no encouragement whatsover and that ho was a bother and a nuisance.

She showed the court a package of letters fully three Inches In height, which she said she had received from Fuller and which were bub bling over with love and threats to end her life if she did not return his affections. Fuller said that he had been invited to Margaret's home and that all the trouble had been caused by her family and not by him or by her. Well, this beats me, said the Judge, don't know what to make of you. Is there anything wrong with your head?" "Well, I have a weakness, Fuller replied. "Yes, I should say you had.

You go to jail until Monday morning unless you can give a $o00 bond with good real estate securi ty. and I'll ponder over this case in the meanwhile. WIEDMANN FIRE INQUEST. Coroner George M. Delap last night held inquests over the bodies of Ceaser Gude, August Pentek, John M.

Lockwood, Charles Calwell and an unidentified man, who were killed or so badly Injured that they subsequently died in the Are at Wiedmann's cooperage in the Eastern District. The jury after being out about a half hour and after sending for various plans of the burned building returned verdicts that the deceased men came to their death from the specific causes as claimed by Coroner's Physician Wuest, and that the fire in which they were killed was started from some cause unknown. GRAIN TO LISBON. The Stag Line steamer Gardenia sailed yesterday with a full cargo of grain and corn lor Lisbon, which she loaded at Dow's stores, where the Clematis has also arrived to load. The Borderer sailed for Lisbon yesterday from the South Central Pier.

Her cargo consists principally of grain. The Stag liner Ro binia is loading with floating elevators today at the West Central pier. She is also probably for Lisbon, where there is a great demand tor grain just now. BIDS FOR NEW POLICE STATION.

Lizzie McDonald, a 15 year old girl, who lives with her parents at 110 Greenpolnt avenue, was committed to the Catholic Protectory by Magistrate Steers in the Manhattan avenue police court this morning upon the request of her father. He said that his daughter was in the habit of attending picnics, and in order to do so remained away from home tor several weeks at a time. The girl, he said, was inclined to be wayward in spite of all he could do to prevent it and she was in the habit of associating with young men who gathered at Oakland and India streets. Last night when he went to that corner he found his daughter, and was leading her home when several of the young men attacked him and compelled him to release her. She returned home later, and this morning her father compelled her to accompany him to court.

"What is the matter with you?" Magistrate Steers asked the girl. "My father keeps me down and will not allow me to enjoy myself," replied the girl. "I admire your father for keeping you down as you call It. I consider it would be a good thing for many girls of your age it parents were more strict. There would not be so many girls of your age winding up at Coney Island and other resorts.

Parents nowadays do not take enough care of their growing daughters. If they did the police courts would see less of cases such as yours. I hope that a term in the protectory will cause you to mend your ways." LOST $10,000 IN SILVER. Whiting Manufacturing Company Systematically Robbed for Three Years. Boy Thieves Apprehended.

Ralph Salspaugh, 17 years old, of 340 East One Hundred and Twentieth street, and Martin McGrath, 18, of 315 East Ninetieth street, Manhattan, were in the Yorkvllle court this morning, charged by detectives with stealing silverware from the Whiting Manufacturing Company, by whom they are employed. The Whiting Company asserts that within the past three years $10,000 worth of silver has been stolen, and the detectives who arraigned the boys state that the prisoners confessed that they had been robbing their employers for years. The firm employs special officers to keep track of things in its establishment, but they were unable to discover who was taking the silver tbftt the firm frequently missed. About two months ago the members of the firm notified police headquarters that the matter was too serious to be allowed to proceed further without efforts being made to stop the thefts; that $10,000 in silverware aud jewelry had alTeady been stolen and that the thieves were evidently employes. Detectives Brady and McMullen were put on the work and they began to suspect Salspaugh and McGrath.

They followed them nightly and at times caught them entering pawnshops. Last night the boys were followed to Second avenue and Twenty ninth street, where they entered a pawnshop. They had $150 worth of silverware which they were about to pawn when the detectives apprehended them and took them to police headquarters. There a number of pawn tickets for the Whiting Company's property was found. Salspaugh's home was visited, where a box containing silver valued at $150 was recovered.

A specific charge of stealing a silver tray, valued at $15, was made against the boys, each of whom was held in $300 bail for trial. SEEKING A REVERSAL. John Shea Sentenced to Eighteen Months' Imprisonment, Wants to Appeal. Unless his counsel secures a reversal of his conviction, John Shea, 24 years old, of 25 Lor imer street, will be for eighteen months in Sing Sing Prison, as he was sentenced for that term to day by Judge Hurd in the County Cpurt. Shea was indicted and tried for grand larceny in the second degree, and when the jury returned with a verdict of guilty they recommended mercy.

Shea was charged with stealing $500 from John Mc Connell of 265 Hicks street on February 21, Shea advertised for a man to go into the hotel business with him at 491 Broadway. McConnell answered the advertisement and was induced by Shea to put $500 into the business, making representations, as alleged by McConneli that the business was a most prosperous one. After McConnell gave his money to Shea, the latter told him that he had been buncoed. As soon as Shea was sentenced this morning his counsel went before Justice Dickey, in the Supreme Court, special term, and made an application for a certificate of reasonable doubt as to his client's conviction. This is the first step toward the appeal from a conviction.

Justice Dickey took the papers and reserved judgment on the application. ADJOURNED FOR TEN DAYS. Counsel for Republic Savings and Loan Association Wins a Point for His Client. On the return of an order for the officials of the Republic Savings and Loan Association to appear before Justice W. D.

Dickey in Supreme Court, special term, this morning, and show cause why a temporary receiver should not be appointed and the business of the Institution wound up, GeoTge J. Kilgen, counsel for the association, asked for and obtained an adjournment for ten days, as the order to show cause had been obtained late on Wednesday afternoon and was received by counsel only at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. Tho proceedings were irstituted by Judge Coyne for the State Attorney General, on a report of the Banking Department, instituted a year ago. The report was submitted, counsel said, to the Attorney General only thirty days ago and the association was called upon to answer the allegations based on the report within twenty four hours. Justice Dickey said that the affairs of the institution were well known to the officials, and they ought to be able at any timn to answer.

Counsel replied that it was necessary to answer every item presented by the applicant. Tor many stockholders in the association Lawyer Hector M. Hltchlngs said that the association was not Insolvent, and he asked to be allowed ten days' time in order to get the affidavits of his clients. Hi' was willing, ho said, that the injunction should stand, so far as the paying out of the funds of the association was concerned, with the exception that, the clerical help should be paid what, was coming to them. Justice Dickey said that sonic one ought to take hold of the affairs so that the Institution might be run in the interest of the stockholders.

Lawyer Alexander A. Forman, who said that he appeared for the holder of worth of stock. Joined in the request for a ton 'lays' adjournment to answer allegations in the apllcation for a receiver. For the Attorney General's office counsel argued that there should be no delay in the hearing, as there was a large deficiency, as shown in the examination by tho banking department. Ily the court Was the examination general or special Counsel replied that some years ago the balking department found that there was a deficiency of but the association was allowed "to go on doing business and make what was lacking: now there was a deficiency of more than $90,000.

Lawyer Kilgen said that there were more than 100 stockholders In the court room and they were all anxious that, there should be an adjournment. It would be expensive for a receiver to bo appointed, for he would take from the funds at least $50,000. Another counselor said that, there was only a deficiency of $1,400 charged. Justine Dickey adjourned the hearing until Wednesday next and said that meanwhile the stay will stand. The employes of tho association could afford to wait a week for the determination of the queatlons at Issue.

ENDS AN ELOPEMENT. Young Englishman Who Accompanied $arisian Danseuse Here Jumps From the Saale. MYSTERY IN DISAPPEARANCE. Young Woman Taken to the Barge Office Says She Desires to Return to Prance. Henry Dundley, said to have been a wealthy and highly educated Englishman, about 20 years old, jumped overboard from the steamship Saale at 1:30 o'clock this morning, at quarantine, and was drowned.

His body has not been recovered. Dundley was accompanied on the vessel by a handsome young woman named Rene Boil lod who, up to a few weeks ago, was a danseuse in the Moulin Rouge, Paris. Mile. Boillod was accompanied to the Barge Office this morning by the surgeon of the steamship and placed in the care of Matron Struck len. She said that she had no relatives in this country and although she had more than the required $40 to enable her to land, now that Dundley was drowned she wanted to return to France.

She said that she could secure her old position in the Moulin Rouge in Paris. Mile. Boillod was hysterical and took the death of Dundley very much to heart. She said that she met Dundley a few weeks ago. He fell desperately in love with her and they became inseparable.

The surgeon ot the Saale said that the couple occupied separate staterooms on the steamship, but it was well known aboard the vessel that they had eloped. They were always together. Last night at 11 o'clock Dundley accompanied the young woman to the door of her stateroom and said good rnight to her. Then he went on deck and had a bottle of champagne with another passenger and smoked a cigar. This passenger left him on deck.

Another passenger on board the vessel at about 1:30 o'clock was packing his trunk. The port hole of his stateroom was open. He heard a splash and looking out of the porthole saw a man struggling in the water as If endeavoring to swim. He gave the alarm, but when the officers looked over the sides of the vessel no one was to be seen in the water. Dundley was missed this morning and when the steward went to his room he found it unoccupied.

The effects of Dundley will be sent to the German consul, as Dundley was aboard a German vessel. No one on board the Saale seemed to know much about Dundley except that he was educated and seemed to have plenty of money. ARKANSAS PLANTER MURDERED.

SUPPLY ON HAND IS VERY LOW. Some Money Is Now Available for the Department, but More Should Be Appropriated at Once. According to a report made to the deputy commissioner of water supply.

James Moffatt, by Chief Engineer Robert Van Buren, the condition of the reserve supply in the storage reservoirs Is alarming. The amount of water at Hempstead reservoir is only one half as great as a year ago, when the conditions caused great alarm In the department. Mr. Van Buren emphasizes the danger ahead if something is not done to provide for a greater daily supply. The report says: "On April 2 I addressed to you a communication, in which I stated as follows: 'While the communications from this bureau in regard to the urgency of works to provide for an adequate water supply have been repeated, earnest and exhaustive, 1 feel compelled to again call your attention to this subject, fear year a situation still more critical than that experienced last "As the sea on advances my apprehension as to the consequences of delay above expressed become greater, and to such a point that I feel again called upon to state to you that I doubt whether we can escape a serious shortage in the fall, unless immediate action is taken on the recommendations already made.

Our reserve supply at the storage reservoir is to day, in round figures, only 327, 000.000 gallons, against 768,000,000 at the same date last year, or less than one half. We have lost since the date of my last communication to you, 35,000,000 gallons, and keep losing. Were it not that owing to the exceptionally mild weather our average consumption for the last two months has been considerably below that of last year, the anticipated shortage would probably have been already experienced. "There is not a moment to lose and as the readiest means of increasing the supply are the filter plants at Baisleys and Springfield Ponds, long ago recommended, the contracts for the same should be made at once. We would thus be enabled to utilize 6.000,000 or 7,000,000 gallons dally from these ponds.

The cost of filtering plant under our specifications will be about $150,000. Our original estimate was $125,000 and the difference is due to the Increased price of material. It will take about ninety days to build these filters, so that you will appreciate the necessity of immediate action. "It seems strange that a city with 1,250,000 inhabitants will take such serious chances of a water famine through delay in making such a relatively small appropriation. The emergency Is before us and it is important that the grave responsibilities which may be incurred from a failure to meet it shall not fall upon this bureau.

Six or eight months ago I informed you that there remained from old appropriations for consruction a balance to our credit of somewhat over $200,000. I Inclose herewith a statement received from the accountant showing such a result. Assuming if to be correct, it would seem that there are here available funds to devote not only to the filter plants in question, but to pressing and much needed repairs in the Long Island Water Supply plant and at the Mount Prospect Pumping Station in connection with the high service. My recommendations for remodeling the latter have produced no result and no action has been taken on the plans prepared for that purpose, in spite of the necessity of the work and the advantages to be derived from it. "I learn to day that the boiler inspectors, who, as a warning we should have heeded, compelled us months ago to lower the pressure on the boilers and to work the station in a wasteful manner, have ordered that the use of one of our boilers be discontinued, even at the reduced pressure, thus compelling us to throw it out of commission and leaving us the alternative either of reducing the pumping by 3.000.000 gallons a day, which would work great hardship to the citizens of that territory, or to hire a boiler wherever we may find it.

In order to do the work. Such a statement of facts needs little comment. "I would earnestly recommend that the figures given in the annexed statement be verified from the Controller's books, and if, as I expect, they are found to be practically correct, the necessary steps be taken to utiU ize this fund, without having to wait for new appropriations. I do not know how to express more earnestly the gravity of the situation and the imperative necessity of speedy action. ROBERT VAX BUREX, Engineer in Charge.

S. While in this letter I refer only to the filtering plants and works at the Mount Prospect and Long Island Water Supply stations it should by no means be understood that I consider that our section should be limited to these three items, and I once more beg to refer you to my communication already quoted of April 2, and again emphasize the necessity of making suitable provision for the works therein recommended as urgently needed, which, for the sake of brevity. I do not again enumerate here. While the balance of $200,000 should be applied as recommended to the works herein named immediate appropriations should be made for those discussed in my previous communications and referred to In my letter of April 2."

Plans of the New Company Are Being Greatly Broadened in Their Scope. CAPITAL IS ABOUT $1,000,000. Freight Stations to Be Established at a Number of Points Along the Road. The company which has been organijed to operate freight cars over Brooklyn trolley tracks. is far more extensive in its scope thaa has been supposed.

In fact, so quietly have its plane been laid that no details are in circulation and. in consequence, very little actual knowledge of what the promoters hope and expect to do. It has been said that the company's capitalization would amount to $300,000. but this, it is stated on excellent authority, is $700,000 less than the actual amount, one million being closer to the real figures. The organizers of the concern are said to be the same men who prominently figured in the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Consolidation, and it is their intention, now that a favorable court decision has been handed down, to put the new freight system in operation before next winter.

Some of the rolling stock, fiat cars of various descriptions, are said to be already in course of construction. The company that is engineering the present movement is not the one which originated the idea something over a year ago. Although some of the organizers of the latter are interested slightly, the new concern is managed by an entirely different set of people. So far as known, there are no city officials connected with the present company, but it is no secret that in the old organization several men high in the city administration and in Tammany Hall had agreed and were anxious to purchase blocks of stock. The capitalization of the original concern was not placed as high as that of the recently organized company and, in fact, the management did not go far enough to practically test its plan in any particular.

The railroad entered objections, it is said, whioh neutralized all arrangements for the time being. The scope of the plan now being devised is large. It is said to include not only the idea of carrying freight by night through the borough, as was announced in the Eagle yesterday, but by day as well. It is the intention of the promoters to establish freight stations at various points in the trolley system, each of which shall be a general transportation center. The management realizes that there may be considerable public objection to the day end of the scheme, but it is thought that in the end freight cars on the trolley tracks will not be as objectionable as heavy horse trucks.

All the ideas of the first company are embodied in the second. If possible, arrangements will be made with the proper city authorities for the carting of ashes, and for the transportation of earth and stone for street grading purposes. It is expected that the freight facilities will be appreciated and patronized by the lumber yard men, the sugar refiners on the water front, the wholesale coal dealers and others, also, who supply in bulk. The Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company, as a company, it is stated, is not interested in the company, although some of the Rapid Transit boomers in Wall street are said to be individually. An arrangement is in course of completion between the railroad and the company, whereby the former will receive a percentage of the freight receipts, in return for the use of its power, tracks and men, but just what this arrangement consists of.

in actual figures, cannot be forecasted at this time. THE SMALL BOY KNEW. Ballantine Had Moved Three Times in Six Weeks, but Was Pinally Located. Thomas Ballantine, a young man, was arrested last night by Officer Howard of the Adams street court, on a warrant charging him with having stolen $51 from his employers, Benjamin S. Jones of 306 "Washington street, Manhattan.

The policeman had much difficulty in locating the man, who had moved three times in six weeks. He finally received information last night that Ballantine was living somewhere on Third avenue, near Tenth street. Xear a row of flats down there he saw a small boy who looked Inquisitive enough to be the custodian of the annals of that quiet neighborhood. "Say, bub," proceeded the officer, "d'ye know a man named Ballantine living hereabouts?" "Good looking chap with a freckled face?" asked the boy. "Yes," hazarded the officer, who did not really know.

"Lives at 486; baby's got scarlet fever," volunteered the small boy, "Just the man," proceeded Howard. "I guess I'll go and see him." The result was that Howard got his man. Ballantine pleaded not guilty when arraigned before Magistrate Teale to day and in default of bail was held for future hearing. AT THE PARIS EAGLE BXTREATJ. Eagle Bureau, 53 Rue Cambon.

He resides with his sister at 131 Troy avenue, in which neighborhood he owns considerable property.

About three months ago he purchased a ticket for Queenstowu, and was to sail on the Etruria. He arrived at the steamship pier in time, but left the boat to get some refreshments. When he returned the steamer was leaving the dock, and his trip had to be abandoned. Recently Mclnerney bought a ticket for the steamship which Is to sail tomorrow 10 o'clock.

SHOCKED THE GOOD POLLY. TJnregenerate Parrot, Under Arrest in Adams Street Police Station, Had to Go to a Cell. John Cullen and Patrick Malley were held this morning by Magistrate Teale in the Adams street court, on a charge of having stolen a parrot and a cage, worth 515, from Thomas Malley, a brother of one of the prisoners, who lives at 72 State street. The parrot and cage were stolen a few days ago from the yard in the rear of Malley's house and John Murray, a boy who lives in the neighborhood, told the police that he had seen Cullen carry the bird out of the yard. Cullen had asked him to carry the parrot to a saloon at the corner of Hicks street and Atlantic avenue, where he saw Cullen deliver the bird and cage to Patrick Malley.

On the strength of this story a warrant was issued and last night the two men were ir rested by Officer Maloney of the Adams street court. Soon after they had been locked uo in the Adams street station a stranger called at the station with the bird and cage. The parrot is about twenty years old, a fluent but somewhat disreptuable conversationalist and apparently as cross as the bear of the proverb. There is a young and innocent parrot in the station, which is the pet of the policemen. He is dove colored and polite.

When the new parrot was brought in the policemen's polly was roosting on the steam pipe near the ceiling. With amazing rapidity he slid down to a point where he could get a good view of the stranger and then, as is his wont when anything new that is animate comes into the place, he said: "Good evening. How do you do?" "Go to said the unregenerate green monster and a flood of Billingsgate followed, to the horror of the well bred polly and of Sergeant Toole, who chanced to be in possession of the desk. It would never do to have kept the bad parrot in the office all night, so he was put, cage and all, in a cell, where he spent the night in giving vent to ear splitting blasphemy.
