Belle Bausher, 18 years old, who says she resides at 1C7 South Fourth street, was found on Surf avenue, Coney Island, at an early hour yesterday morning by Policeman Fitzgerald and was taken to the West Eighth street police station, where she was held on a charge of vagrancy. Some hours before the girl was found her mother, Mrs.

Mary Bausher, called at the police station and reported that her daughter had run away from home. She left a description of the young woman with the sergeant, and when the men turned out for the late tour they were instructed to keep a lookout for the young girl. Fitzgerald found her at 3 o'clock. The girl was not disposed to talk much about her leaving home, but according to the police, a wealthy brewer in this city, whose name was not divulged, wound up a week's spree on Coney Island some time on Thursday night, and, in some unaccountable manner the Bausher girl, the police say, was a party to it. It appears the brewer started out in an automobile and was accompanied by two young women, whose names couiq not De learned.

They gave way, after a while, to four others, and the brewer continued the spree, all the time in the automobile. The Bausher girl helped make up the third batch of young women, and she it was who was abandoned on Surf avenue. The story told by the young woman will be investigated by her mother, who was notified by the Coney Island police that her daughter was safe in the West Eighth street station house.

Mrs. Josephine Bryan, a wealthy English woman, of London, England, Is probably convinced by this time that she has come to a strenuous country. Five minutes after she passed the custom lines after landing from the Cunard Line steamship Etruria, last night, the carriage in which she was being driven to the Grand Hotel, Manhattan, was in collision with a Ninth avenue trolley car at Jane and Washington streets.

It was crossing Washington street at Jane street, when car No. 254 struck the carriage. The driver was thrown out, but managed to keep his hold on the reins and stopped his horses after they became separated from the vehicle.

He was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital suffering from a fracture of the left leg. The motorman of the car continued on his way, but the police learned his identity. The driver refused to make a complaint against him. OBITUARY.

Driver Thrown From Seat and Woman Passenger Got a Bad Scare. A horse attached to a cab from the Coleman Stables, West Fifty sixth street, Manhattan, driven by William Armstrong, became frightened yesterday afternoon as It was going down Broadway, and started to run away when at Forty seventh street.

PASSING OF THE CITY COURT. The Last Session of the General Term Will Begin in Manhattan To morrow. The last session of the general term of the City Court, in Manhattan, will begin to morrow, and appropriate ceremonies for the passing of this department of the court have been arranged. Justices J. Henry McCarthy, Lewis Conlan and Samuel Seabury will preside over the last session of the court.

Justice Delehunty was to have been one of the Justices presiding, but in his illness Justice Conlan will replace him. There are many who believe that the act of the Legislature doing away with the general term of the City Court and having appeals go direct to the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court is a mistake. The general term of the City Court has been in existence since 1872, when it was known as the general term of the Marine Court. When the Marine Court became the City Court ten years later the general term was continued. A review of the work done by this appellate division of the court show6 that its decisions have been reversed by the higher courts in but a small percentage of instances.

The percentage of reversals has been about 30 per a much less percentage than that of the Supreme Court. When the court convenes to morrow it will have a calendar of 135 cases on appeal before it. Before the court proceeds to hear arguments on appeal, arrangements have been made for speechmaking and appropriate ceremonies by the Judges and lawyers engaged. In order to clean up the business before the term, the Judges presiding will not hold trial terms during the month of October. By this means the Judges will be able to devote all their time to the cases oh appeal and quickly clear the records of the court.

RUNAWAY IN THE BRONX. A team of horses attached to a dirt cart ran away yesterday afternoon at the corner of River place and One Hundred and Sixty ninth street, in the Bronx. The team had been fed and the feed bags had Just been removed from their "'eads, When they started on a run; knocking down the driver, Michael Hortcn, of 978 Rodgers place. The team dashed through One Hundred and Sixty ninth street, and In their mad run collided with the buggy of Dr. Joseph Bleak of 1,013 East One Hundred and Sixty ninth street, overturning and carrying away one of the wheels.

The team was stopped at One Hundred and Sixty ninth street, and Union avenue without doing further damage. HICKEY FIGHTS EXTRADITION. "William Hickey, who was arrested On Thursday last on a warrant Issued by the Governor of Illinois on a charge of having committed burglary in Cooke County. and of the larceny of $1,100 on July 4 last, was brought before Justice Gildersleeve, In the Supreme Court, Manhattan, yesterday, on a writ of habeas corpus, in Which it was claimed that his detention here Is Illegal and his release was demanded. Justice Glider sleeve directed all the testimony to be taken before Referee J.

J. Nealls and submitted to him next week. OVERCOME BY ESCAPING GAS. Charles C. Wetzel of 311 East Eighty eighth street, Manhattan, employed by the Standard Gas Company, was removed to Bellevue Hospital yesterday afternoon from 330 East Twenty seventh street, Manhattan, where he was overcome by gas.

Wetzel was putting In a meter at that address when the cap of the pipe to which it was to be at tached broke. The escaped gas overcame Wetzel and he fell to the floor unconscious. One of the tenants who went in the cellar for some wood stumbled over Wetzel and notified the police. Wetzel will recover. CUSTOMS BUSINESS BOOMING.

'GARIBALDI" USED SCIENCE. Cinnamon Bear, Trained by an Italian, Fought His Bival a Bloody Battle to a Standstill. While nearly a thousand people cheered and groaned alternately a 450 pound cinnamon bear, lought to a standstill a 860 pound grizzly bear called "Rocky" in the most terrific and bloody fight ever witnessed in the Central Park Zoo yesterday afternoon. The battle was fought on the cliff in the bear cage, and, although neither one was killed, both were so badly used up that they lay on the ground panting for half an hour. "Garibaldi" is a trained bear, and this fact is probably responsible for the defeat of his heavier rival.

He was presented to Director Smith of the Zoo a week ago by Joseph Sareix, a wandering Italian showman, who told Mr. Smith that "Garibaldi" was becoming so ugly in his temperament that he waa afraid to keep him longer. Sareix said that the animal had been trained for a number of years and was as agile as "Jim" Corbett. He knew all the tricks of wrestling and was exceptionally strong. His long confinement had made him ugly and Sareix was afraid the animal might turn on him and kill him.

"Rocky" has been in the Zoo for some time and has been master of the bear cage. He is an ugly looking brute and has always been considered dangerous. Director Smith thought that if the two were put together a fight would ensue, and he concluded to keep "Garibaldi" in a wooden cage until he got vsed to the feed and the ways of the keepers in the Zoo. So the new bear was put in a cage near the big bear cage and the keepers soon discovered why the Italian showman did not care to keep him longer. The first day he was put in the wooden cage "Garibaldi" attempted to force the sides.

Director Smith got nervous and was afraid he would effect his escape. The climax ctmc yestorday morning when Keeper "Billy" Snyder went to feed the cinnamon. He discovered that the bear had gnawed a large hole through the cage, in the northwest corner, and that it would be a question of only a few hours when the hole would be large enough for the bear to crawl through and make his escape. Snyder reported the matter at once to Director Smith, and, after a consultation with other keepers, it was decided that the only thing to be done waa to put "Garibaldi" in the big bear cage, it was concluded that the little bear could not kill the big fellow, and if the cinnamon was killed the city would not be at a loss, for the animal was a gift. Accordingly a big traveling cage with iron bars was backed against the wooden cage and "Garibaldi" was let into it.

The word had spread rapidly through the park that the bear was to be transferred and that there was liabla to be a fight, and a big crowd gathered. The reserves were sent from the Central Park station and the crowd was kept at a distance by a roped line. When all was ready the iron cage was carted up on top of the hill and "Garibaldi" was admitted to the big bear cage. "Rocky" had been attracted by the crowd around the cage and the roars of "Garibaldi," wbo tried to resist the efforts of the keepers. He recognized a foe and made ready for his entrance into the cage.

The cinnamon was no sooner inside than the grizzly began to climb the cliff, growling and snapping and clashing his paws against the rocks. The cinnamon didn't flinch, but waited for the grizzly to approach the top of the cliff and then suddenly springing into action dealt the big fellow a blow on the head. "Garibaldi" had "knocked the chip off the t'other fellow's shoulder" and the fight was no. The terrific growling of the bears served to attract a greater number of people than had witnessed the transfer, and when the battle opened there were nearly a thousand people surrounding the bear cage. Men yelled and cheered the little bear on and women groaned and some cried as blow after blow was struck and the bears clinched.

"Garibaldi" had the advantage of position when the fight started, but the grizzly soon forced his way up until he was on even terms. Several times it seemed as if "Rocky" would hug the life out of his smaller adversary, but each time when the grizzly seemed to have the "hold" the cinnamon would worm his way out and rain blows on "Rocky" with telling effect. The battle seemed for all the world like a contest between a light, shifty boxer and a heavier man. who depended on his strength to win. "Garibaldi" had the advantage of lis training and the tricks he had learned from his Italian maeter got him out of many a tight place.

For fully twenty minutes the battle was continued, first one, then the other, seeming to have the advantage. Several times during the fight the cinnamon would lie down as if dead or exhausted, and when the grizzly would spring at htm to clinch the struggle "Garibaldi" would spring to one side, at the same time dealing a blow to "Rocky" that would stagger the big brute. When the fight was about half over both animals were covered with blood and th sight was so sickening that the women were forced to go away and dragged their children with them. The keepers stood by, but no attempt was made to stop the fight. Finally, when the pair were nearly exhausted and it seemed as if one or both must drop dead, the grizzly was seen to give signs of retreat, and then slowly.

Inch by inch, as the two glared at each other, the big brute backed down the cliff to the bottom of the cage, the cinnamon closely. "Rocky" went into a corner and lay down exhausted, panting and bleeding and his adversary, after watching him for a few moments, also fell over from sheer exhaustion and panted and groaned and growled feebly. The fight was over for the time and the crowd, feeling that the little bear had won the struggle, cheered vigorously and loudly. Then the police allowed the crowd to surround the cage and watch the animals as they lay there, sore and wounded after their terrific struggle. After the fight was over Keeper Tysom said to a reporter: "I do not think the fight is over altogether, and if I guess rightly the decisivo battle will be fought late to night when the animals seek the shelter of the cage for the night.

Then they will probably fight to a finish and to morrow may tell another tale, and I would not bo surprised to see a dead bear in the cage in the morning." The cinnamon and grizzly bears both inhabit the Rocky Mountains, the grizzly coming from the northern range and his cousin from the southern range. At o'clock last night there were no indications that the fight between "Garibaldi" and "Rocky" would be resumed, and the other bears in the cage, having officially declared "Garibaldi" winner of the battle, re tired for the night. The rivals sought different sections of the cage and retired lo nurse their wounds. CHILD RUN OVER AND KILLED. Bella Sinbery, 3 years old, of 154 Canal street, Manhattan, was knocked down, run over and instantly killed yesterday afternoon by a truck driven by Francis Klngsley of 425 West Seventeenth street, Manhattan.

DETECTIVE AFTER S. F. ADAMS. Crowds of Friends and Actresses View the Dead Woman's Remains at the Undertaker's. A constant itream of persons poured Into the undertaking establishment of Louis Roth in Seventh avenue, Manhattan, last night to view the body of Mrs.

Belle Rose, who was murdered by her husband, Edward Rose, stage manager of the Garrlck Theater, in their apartments In the Royat apartment house, 330 West Thirty third street, Manhattan, early yesterday morning. Most of those who called at the undertaker's were friendB of the dead woman and many of them were actresses. A bulky telegram addressed to Rose was received at the West Thirty seventh street station last night. The sergeant had it sent to the prisoner in the Tombs. All along Broadway and about the theaters where Rose was known' the shooting was the one subject of discussion.

Rose was known to all as "a good fellow," and much surprise was expressed that he should have shot his wife. The man who is alleged to have been the cause of the shooting Is also known about the theaters. He Is known as an inveterate "first nighter," and at the opening of each show, they say, the man can always be found in one of the boxes. Rose, the police say, in telling the story of the murder and the incidents leading up to it, gave the name of Samuel F. Adams of Fifty fourth street and Madison avenue, Manhattan, as the man who was primarily the cause of the tragedy.

Samuel F. Adams of 539 Madison avenue Manhattan, a stock' broker, said yesterday afternoon that he did not know Rose wife and so far as he knew, had never met her. Rose, after commitment by the Coroner, was. taken over to the Tombs, where he was placed in a cell in murderers' row. He refused to see any one after he was locked up.

There are now twenty nine homicide cases in the Tombs, Including Moltncux, and the recent acquisition. Young, the alleged murderer of Mrs. Pulitzer. After Rose was locked up in a cell in the Tombs he broke down completely. He continually talked to himself and made all sorts of Implications against the man whom he declared had broken up his home.

He seemed to be suffering from both remorse ajnd despair remorse over the fact that his wife had been unfaithful to him and despair over the fact that he had killed her. Ex Assistant District Attorney Unger called on Rose in the Tombs 'and consulted with him for more than an hour. At the conclusion of this conference Mr. Unger would not make any statement as to what the conference was about. On his advice, however.

Rose refused to see any newspaper men last nlcht, nor would he make any statement to the officials In the jail. At the home of Samuel F. Adams, in Madison avenue, last night, it was said that Mr. Adams had not been home since 11 o'clock In the morning and was not expected home during the night. Near the house stood a who watched the door closely.

When asked if he was looking for Mr. Adams, the man said he was a county detective and that he had been detailed by Assistant District Attorney Gar van to watch for Mr. Adams' return and request him to go to the District Attorney's office, as Mr. Garvan wished to question him concerning his alleged relations with Mrs. Rose.

The man would not give his name, but showed his badge. Rose, It Is said, came to Manhattan from Boston, where he was associated with Eugene Tompkins, and staged a spectacle for that manager called "The Soudan." Three of the shots fired by Rose took effect In his wife's body, one In 'the nose, one in the left breast and one in the left arm. It has been arranged that the Inquest shall take place on Tuesday, at 10 o'clock, the same jury acting as will act in the case of the man murdered in the Chinese restaurant on West Twenty ninth street.

Hereafter Plans Will Be Beady Before Land Is Procured. Investigation of the reasons for the delay la the construction of school buildings and in their repair has led to the discovery that there is a great deal of unnecessary delay in procuring school sites. A review of the proceedings of the Board of Education for the past four or five years has revealed the fact that it takes from one to five years to secure a school site after it has been selected by the Board of Education. In addition to this, it has been found that many of the sites accepted by the Board of Education in 1S97 are still in the hands of the corporation counsel, owing to the lack of financial ability on the part of the Board of Education to acquire them. Sites have also been purchased and later found to be unsuitable for school purposes and have been turned over to the sinking fund commissioners to be disposed of.

These facts have led to an agreement between the sites and building committees of the Board of Education and the Board of Estimate, whereby no site will be procured until plans for the building to be erected upon it have been prepared. Some idea of the present condition of school sites can be gained from the following facts: In Manhattan and the Bronx there are at the present time in the hands of the corporation counsel twenty one sites, valued at $465,600, which were selected in 1897 or 1898 and have never been procured, owing to the fact that the board has not had money enough. In Brooklyn sites selected in 1900 are still in the hands of the corporation counsel, but reports are expected upon them in the Immediate future. In fact, so sanguine are the members of the Board of Education of early reports that the plans for the buildings are already being prepared. In this connection It has been noted that Brooklyn has no sites in the hands of the corporation counsel selected before 1900.

Five Brooklyn sites, valued at about $103, 000, are now in the hands of the corporation counsel and they are as follows: 1. A plot on Havemeyer street, running from North Sixth street to North Seventh street, which was selected in November, 1900, by. the then Brooklyn Board of Educa tion. The central board approved the site tn May, 1901, but it was not until the following October that the matter was sent to the corporation counsel. The petition for the appointment of commissioners of estimate was signed and verified on the 27th of Novembsr, 1901, and nothing more has been heard about it.

2. In November, 1900, the Brooklyn board selected a site on Howard avenue and Prospect place and the proceedings were identical with those for Havemeyer street site and the result thg same. The other three Brooklyn sites in the hands of the corporation counsel which are heeded for school purposes are: A. plot on Avenue and East Thirty eighth street, selected in December, 1900. Since the filing of the petition for appointment of commissioners In November, 1901, no further action has been taken, sites on Middagh and Poplar streets near Henry and on the northerly side of York street were selected In 1900 and sent to the corporation counsel on December 24, 1901.

All investigations on the part of the officials of the Board of Education fail to reveal any further action, 'commissioners of estimate not even having been appointed. These investigations, which hav been carried on quietly, show that a considerable portion of the money appropriated for school sites has been taken up with the expenses of awards. It has been found that sites have been purchased only to be returned to the sinking fund commissioners so that sites in the immediate neighborhood might be purchased in their stead. Since February last, however, no such action has been taken, but on the contrary every suggestion that proceedings for a site be abandoned has been met with considerable opposition. In order that in the future no time may be wasted the new plan has been adopted.

has caused a slight delay in purchasing sites as the building department has been compelled to rush the plans for the new buildings.

Dr. Marcus Peterson of 495 Hamburg avenue is very indignant because of the allegations that have been made in connection with the arrest and arraignment on Wednesday last of Harry Josiah of 137 Rldgewood avenue. The stories published in connection with the case contained, so the doctor declares, many grave errors and were doubtless the results of grave misrepresentations of the case which were made to the newspaper reporters. Dr. Peterson said yesterday afternoon, in speaking of the matter: "Josiah was arrested by the police in front of Ackron's place on my complaint on a charge of cruelty to animals.

I was not arrested myself. I was the complainant against this man, and I do not know how the story that I was arrested ever managed to get into print anywhere. It Is absolutely false. The only person arrested was Josiah and he was arrested on my complaint." The police records substantiate Dr. Peterson's statement to the effect that he was not arrested.

Dr. Peterson's name In the proceedings appears only In the.trole of complaining witness, as he stated CLOAKS AND SUITS STOLEN, And the Detectives Find the Property and Hake Some Arrests. Carl Selnstein, a manufacturer of cloaks and suits at 37 East Eighth street, Manhattan; complained to Captain Chapman of the Mercer, street station, yesterday that his establishment had been broken into Friday nigtit atid about $800 worth of suits' and silks stolen from it. Detectives. Hall and Delaney were Sent out on the case and after an examlnatiop found some of the stolen slik on a stairway leading from the.

roof of 37 to 33 East Eighth street, and the scuttle of the latter open. They descended and entering the apartment of Mrs. Morris Wolfson, learned from her that her husband and 'William Goldstein, who lives in the same house, brought a quantity of suits and silks to her apartments late last night. About $600 worth, of the missing property was found in the rooms by the detectives. They soon arrested Wolf and Goldstein, who admitted to them that they took the goods and led them to 70 Baxter street, where they had sold t6 Mrs.

Rachel Waxan a quantity of the goods for $350. Mrs. Waxan was also arrested, and was arraigned in the Jefferson Market police court. The two men were charged with robbery and each was held in $2,000 bail for trial. Mrs.

Waxan was charged with receiving stolen property and was also held In $2,000 for further examination. AMUSEMENTS. Arion Festival, THANKSGIVING WEEK, NOVEMBER 27, 28 AND S3. 1902. At the 47th Regiment Armory, Marcy Av, Heyward St.
