Freiman Occupied a Stateroom on the Now York and Left His Door Unlocked, Morits Freiman, Golda, his wife, and Anna, his daughter, all Roumanians of the better class, were passengers on board the steamship tsew lork, which arrived at 3 clock this morning. The husband occupied cabin No. 511 alone. His wife and daughter occupied No. 512.

They are well to do people and wero well provided with money, had plenty of baggage and considerable valuable jewelry. Some of the jewelry was secreted about the persons of the wife and daughter and still more renosed in tho leathnr tinclcethnnV nf Freiman who carried it in the inside pocket of nis coat. On Sunday morning between 8 and 9 o'clock, Freiman thoughtlessly left his coat in his bunk omitting to take the precaution to remove the pocketbook containing two diamond earrings, four valuable diamond rings, a pearl chain and a gold chain of unique workmanship. In a dressing gown he repaired to a contiguous bathroom, leisurely took his bath and returned to his stateroom to find the coat exactlv where he had carelessly thrown it. He slowly proceeded to complete his toilet and then joined his wife and daughter on the promenade deck.

It was not until near noon that Freiman. having occasion to open his pocketbook, discovered that all his jewelry had been abstracted. He at once notified the ship's officers, but the valuables, which were valued at $1,000, wero not found nor was any particular person suspected of the robbery. Upon the arrival of the New Y'ork at quarantine Purser Kinsley telegraphed to police headquart c. ru fnr A to meet the New York upon her arrival at tho street.

The Freiman family remained on the dock with tho detectives for two hours after tho arrival of the ship, but up to 10:30 tho jewels had not been recovered and tho finger of suspicion was not pointed in any particular direction. HORWITZ'S HASTY MARRIAGE. Say' He Was Not in His Right Mind at the Time. Herman Horwitz, 20 years old, the son of James Horwitz. a butcher at 219 Bridge street, was a prisoner in the Leo avenue police court this morning on a charge of abandonment preferred by his wife Lizzie Horwitz, who at present makes her home with her sister at 301 Berry streot.

Mrs. Horwitz is a pretty blonde. She was married to young Horwitz in February last and they lived happily together for a time at Broadway. There was trouble in the household lator on, however, and last Saturday Herman left for good. Mrs.

Horwitz went to the Lee avenuo police court on Tuesday last and secured a warrant for her husband's arrest. The warrant was given to Officer J. Vincent Short but ho was unable to locato Horwitz. Ho consulted with Mrs. Horwitz and she sent a letter to Horwitz at his fathor's business place, asking him to meet her at Broadway and Flushing avenue at 8 o'clock last night.

Mrs. Horwitz was at the cornor named with Officer Short at the hour set, and when Horwitz put in an appearance ho was placed under arrest. ThiB is hard luck being locked up," Haid Horwitz in court this morning. "But then I don't care very much if my father doesn't hear about it. He is in Europe now and I guess he won't find it out.

I never ought to have married that woman and I wouldn't have done it either had I been in my right mind. I had been going around with her for some time as had also my partner. One night I took her out, and when 1 woke up the next morning I was surprised to learn that I was married. It was no use denying it, for she had tho certificate, and it was properly signed. There was a great deal of mystery surrounding the marriage and, now that she has had me arrested, I mean to investigate." in default of hail Horwitz was committed to jail.

He Huid he expocted his brother would bail him out before tne end of tho da v. OPENING OF PROSPECT AVENUE. John D. Prince, Joseph Story and William H.

The Water Went Down the Mountains. Carrying All Before It Several Other Summer Camps Supposed to Have Ben Caught in the Flood "Very Heavy Losses in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.

Denver, July 25 So far as ascer tahved up to o'clock this morning the following is a full lis; of the persons whose lives were lost in the great floods that swept down upon the towns of Morrison and Golden, in the foot hills near Denver, last night: at Morrison: Mrs. Moses Miller and three children of Morrison. Prom Denver: Mrs. S. A.

Proctor, Robert James Proctor, aged 5 years; Grace Proctor, 7 years; Edith. Proctor, 2 years; Mrs. T. P. Casey, James Casey, 10 years: EdWh Casey, years; Mamie Casey, 7 years; Anna Casey, 3 year; Clara Casey.

5 years; Mrs. Anthony Herres, Eugene Herres, 7 years: Mabel Herres, years; Joephine Herres, 6 years; Carrol Herres, 4 years; Thomas McGough, 21 years, of Dayton, cousin of Mrs. Casey; Anna Hansen, 20 years, servant of the Proctors; child of J. C. Longenecker of Morrison.

Fatally injured: Child of J. C. Lougenecker. Dead ait Golden: A. A.

Jc'nnson, Mrs. A. A. Johnson, Mrs. P.

D. Edwards. All the Denver people who perished at Morrison were campers in Bear Creek canon. There were many more campers in that vicinity; and it Is feared that the lose of life will probably be much greater than is now known. Some reports say that when Bear Creek canon is fully explored it will probably be found that no less than fifty people perished In the flood.

Great anxiety is felt by many families in this city, members of which were camping in the mountains. The Proctors who were drowned were the wife and children of A. S. Proctor, president of the Denver Tent and Awning company. Mrs.

Casey and Mrs. Herres were widows. All the members of these three families were drowned, it is believed, except 10 year old Irene Proctor, who was caught in a mass of driftwood and was rescued with difficulty by Earl MoGill and J. E. Lowe.

The torrent which rushed down the canon upon Morrison and Golden and other mountain towns were caused by a terrific mountain storm, which extended for a hundred miles or more. From Boulder in the north where the damage was slight, all down tKe range west of Denver almost to Pueblo, the storm swept its destructive way. 'At Mrfrrison and Golden the torrents tore away buildings, uprooted trees, washed out long stretches of railroad tracks, swept away bridges and spread annihilation through the towns. Their work was brief and almost before the citizens of too stricken communities knew what had happened the floods passed, leaving only a deadly silenc9 and signs of devastation everywhere. All that could be done in the darkness and confusion was done by the rescuers.

Men, women and children were extricated from dangerous predicaments, let down from the roofs of floating houses, helped out of trees and drawn out of the very whirl and death of tho torrents. It is feared that lives may have been lost at Central City and perhaps at other points in the mountains. great difficulty in obtaining accurate information of the extent of the devastation because of the wires being torn down, railroad tracks swept away and all communication with Denver cut off or interfered with. The Gulg and South Park railroads suffered most severely in the loss of track and bridges. There are also washouts on the Santa Fe.

The Denver and Rio Grande and the Florence and Cripple Creek roads also suffered. Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky Swept by Storms.

It is also inundated at many other points. At Black Hand the canal banks broke, letting the water out and washing half a mile of the track away. The Baltimore and Ohio resumed traffic late to night.

The Cincinnati and Muskingum Valley has a half mile of track out, beside several trestles swept away. Muskingum and Licking rivers are rising rapidly and there are great fears that the city will be flooded and that the big railroad bridge of the. Baltimore and Ohio railway will be swept away. Cars loaded with big iron are ke.Mt standing on this bridge, with the hope or saving it. Traffic is greatly crippled.

"'A rdlgpatcfc. from Shawnee, states that Striking Tailors Formulate Another Scale of DISTRUSTING THE CONTRACTORS There Is Now Every Probability That by Monday Morning the Army of Strikers in New York Alone Will Aggregate 24,000 Men and Women Executive Committee in Almost Continuous Sassion in the Eastern District Tho situation among tho striking garment workers in tho eastern district was unchanged this morning except for what seemed a renewal of activity around tho men's headquarters at 41 Seigel streot and at the rooms of the executive committee, 51 Ewen street.

In the Ewen street rooms an almost continuous session of the committeo is being held from day to day. Tho executive board of the association, with Leader Solotovsky in conference, was at work there early this morning discussing tho final details on the new draft agreement. At the last moment it was decided to include the wages to be insisted upon as follows: For operators, first class. S18 per week; second class. SS a week up: basters, first class, S16 a week; second class, $12 a week and up; pressors 812 a woek; finishers, first class, $11 a week; second class, a week.

The working woek is to be fifty nine hours. But one helper is to bo allowed for every three teams. When these additions had been made, the document was placed in the hands of a printer. The proof will be further discussed at a joint meeting of the executive board and the contractors to be held to night. The place of this meeting had not been fixed at noon today.

Speaking in reference to it, Leader Solotorsky said: "We recognize that in this trouble, our interests and those of the contractors, are very much alike. It was the action of the manufacturers that precipitated the strika. I met some of the moat prominent contractor? in the city last night and it was they who invited me to this meeting. Wo now recognize the contractor's association as such. We are demanding that a cash security for non violation be obtained from thosi who have violated the agreement within the past two years.

The notes of those who have not violated tho agreement will be taken. The money will be placed in a bank, and it will be impossible to secure any of it without taking the necessary legal steps. Several applications for a settlement of the trouble have been made by contractors, but these have been left to tho ways and means committee to report upon at to night's meeting. Several letters expressing sympathy with the strikers have also been "received within the last twenty four hours from different labor organizations in the city. The knee pants makers, pants makers and jacket makers, numbering 1.200, have sent an expression of this kind, and it is said for them that they are all willing to strike next week in case of failure to settle the strike.

Last night Messrs. Solotovsky, Eothenburg and Drubin had a conference with the New York and Brownsville delegates in New York. Dr. Julius Solof of 45 McKibben street has written the executive board offering to treat sick strikers free and his offer was this morning accepted. Joseph Barondess Leader Solu torsky and others will address a mass meeting of the strikers at 183 McKibben street this afternoon.

Mr. Sololorsky said at 11 o'clock to day that there were no'immediate prospects of a termination of the strike. Some of the contractors, he said, might begin to sign the new agreement immediately. HLLSBURY LOSES AGAIN. OUTPLAYED IN A FOUR KNIGHTS GAME BY MAROCZY.

Second Defeat for the American Chess Player at Nuremberg Showal t9r's Combinations. Nuremberg, July 25 Only one game of yesterday's fifth round was drawn. The winners were Lasker, Tschigorin, Tarrasch, Schiffers, Schlichter, Blackburne, Marco and Albin. Pairing No. 6 was chosen for the sixth round this morning, the bye falling to Tschigorin.

This K4 day, the opening on the queen's side receiving no favor whatever from any of the players. Three games were finished at 1 o'clock, Albin winning from Schallopp, and Maroczy beating Pillsbury. Schlechter and Lasker drew. Stelnitz accepted the king's bishop's pawn offered him by Charousek, and, upon the appearance of whit'e bishop 4, played Kt 3. The game was very interesting and full of exciting situation, but gradually black wore down the attack and in tne ending has now the better of the argument.

Blackburne has a Gluoco piano with Tarrasch, black playing 4 Kt 3. At present the position is very even. Teichmann also essayed a Giuoco piano with Janowski, whose fourth move was 4. The two Italian games were on totally different lines and are very interesting by contrast. The present outcome is alike, however, this latter game also being even at adjournment.

Sh'owallter attacked Walbrodt rth a Ruy Lapez, which was defended with 3 3 for black, who was out combined in the middle game and now seems likely to lose. The contest between Winawer and Porges was also a Ruy Lapez, black defending with 3 Kt 3. As with the Italians, so with these two Spanish openings, great variance In treatment makes contrast interesting. In this game neither of the contestants has the advantage. The French defense which Albin interposed to Schaliopp's attack was successful by reason of a defective combination which white entered upon, which brought biin to grief in twenty six moves.

Maroczu got considerably the better of Pillsbury in the opening of a four knight game and, holding on to his advantage, won after thirty four moves. The Sicilian defense of Schiffers is giving Marco considerable trouble and up to the present the attack has not made any Impression on black's forces. Schlechter's Scotch game with Lasker ran into a position where any attempt to win would likely prove dangerous, and taking no chances, the champion agreed to a draw after only twenty one moves. Play recommences at 4 o'clock this afternoon. HEMMlNG'S TROPHIES STOLEN.

The burglars who entered the houBe of George Hemming, the base ball pitcher with the Baltimore club, at 501 East New York avenue by forcing a rear window Thursday night secured a rich haul. Mrs. Hamming who returned from Asburv Park to dav says she cannot estimate the loss, but thinks "it will be somewhere in tho neighborhood of $1,000. as the trunk containing her husband's trophies was broken open and the contents taken. Detectives are at work on the case.

Tree. Adv. Odd Services Held This Morning at Coney Island. MOHAMMEDAN CEREMONY. A Score or More of Orientals Followed the Hearse, Among Them Two Heavily Vailed Turkish.

Dancers Shiek Sifidol Conducted the Unique Service and the Mourners Ate Fruit Dead Man Was to Perform. A Nubian named Ben Missol buried this morning at Gravesend and the funeral was as picturesque as it was unusual for these pans. The man was a performer in the "Streets of Cairo," a show which is located on Surf avenue, where Adjio Costello, the coochee coochee dancer also shows her draperies. Missol. who was a Nubian as black as night, was under a contract for Roditi, the man who controls the "Streets of Cairo," and he arrived from Egypt about four weeks ago.

On the voyage across he bacame sick and when ho finally arrived in Brooklyn he was so ill that he had to be taken to the Flatbush hospital. The man died there yesterday and this morning he was buried. The ceremony was rather peculiar. In order to avoid the gaping notice of the usual Coney Island crowd, It Xvas determined that the funeral should take place at 8:30. At that time the body of Missol was lying In state in The streets of Cairo, with a score of Mohammedans surrounding it.

The dead man was attired in the picturesque costume of the orient, with flowing garments and a shroud that was as white as snow. As he lay there in a simple coffin, the Mohammedans marched around with a slow, melancholy melody in their own tongue and 'threw fruit on tike remains. Shiek Sifidol conducted the funeral services, but before he made his appearance in his flowing robes the body of the dead Nubian was taken out of its coffin and dressed. Funeral robes of considerable magnificence were thrown round the remains while the other Mohammedans marched around the bier eating fruit and nuts and occasionally throwing the remains of what they ate on the dead body. About 9 o'clock the remains were taken out of the coffin and washed and dressed.

They were then anointed and the cortege took its way to the grave at Gravesend, where A. Stillwell had dug a hole for the Nubian. There were no carriages. The body, in its simple black soffin, was put into a hearse and a score of Mohammedans followed it on foot. When they reached the grave Shiek Sifidol performed a simple ceremony.

The others surrounded the open grave and ate vigorously of fruits and nuts. That appeared to be part of the ceremony. The coffin was kept uncovered tKl the last moment. When art last it was about to ho lowered fruit and nuts were placed on the dead man's breast, (he peculiar idea being that the dead Nubian migiht feel hungry on his way to the 'happy hunting grounds. Incense was burned over the coffin by the shiek.

and amid the quiet odor of this and a shower of fruit the body was lowered Into the grave. The crowd surrounding the grave was pict ueresque. There were men In robes and sandals who had traveled thousands of miles under contract to exhibit themselves in the streets of Cairo. Scarcely one of them could speak a word of English. They were of all sizes and colors, and among them were two Turkish dancers, heavily vailed.

This curious crowd surrounded the grave of the dead man and as soon as the body was lowered they all ate vigorously of their fruit, the sheik in the picturesque dress mumbled something, the Mohammedans marched around the grave and the ceremony was voer. The Mohammedans all loyally followed the remains to the grave on foot. They came back by rail and this afternoon they were giving a realistic represetation of the ways OI the sons of the desert in the Streets "of Cairo. When MIssob died Manager Roditi telegraphed to Vice Consul Edward Bruwuart, in New York, informing him of the event. Mr.

Bruwuart promptly returned word that the man could be buried. REFUSED TO KISS HIM. THE BRIDE'S FATHER TRIED TO FORCE HER TO IT, But the Young Woman Was Firm A Remarkable Scene at a City Hall Wedding. There as an unusual spectacle at a marriage ceremony performed by Alderman Myers at the city hall to day. The principals were Dominico Pinto, age 23, and Phllomena Sepire, age 19, both of 50 Union street.

The parents of the bride were present. Phllomena, a pretty young woman, was neatly attired and acted as brides generally do until that part of the ceremony where the bride and groom Join hands was reached. Then she sfhowed much reluctance and It was only after persuasion that she consented to take the hand of her partner. "You will get over that when you have been married as long as I have," remarked the alderman. The ceremony having been completed, the alderman told the bride to kiss her husband.

She absolutely refused to do so. Thereupon her father became angry and Struck her on the back with his open hand, at the same time muttering something In Italian. The young woman dropped into a chair but said nothing. "Oh, If you are ashamed," remarked Alderman Myers, "I'll turn my back. Now kiss him." But the bride still refused and the party left the office.

The father was still angry, but Hie daughter appeared quite unconcerned. MISS ABBOTT TO MARRY. Engagement of the Eldest Daughter of the Plymouth Pastor. A wedding that will attract considerable attention in the fall, owing to the prominenco of tho contracting parties, will be that of Francis Jourdan, a well known young lawyer, and an active worker in church circles, and Miss Harriet F. Abbott, the eldest daughter of the Rev.

Dr. Lyman Abbott, pastor of Plymouth church. The announcement is made doubly interesting from tho fact that tho courtship is a long one, having ox tended, it is said, over a period of six years. Miss Abbott inherits much of the talent of tho Abbott famiiv, which is a remarkable ono in illustrating tho theory of hereditary geniuB, resembling in that respect tho Beecher family. She is spending tho sum mermonthsat Wainscott.in the Island, and will probably not return to tho city until fall.

The Bov. for. Abbott, Mrs. Abbott, son anu daughter, who are now sojourning in Europe are expected back from their tour September 23. The date of the wedding has not yet been decided upon, although it is probable that it will take place in October.

A WEEK OF SERVICE AHEAD The Fighting Fourteenth, Second Signal Corps and Seventeenth Ssparate Company of Flushing en Route Lively Times at the Armories Last Night in Preparing for Departure Plenty of Work Mapped Out. ThreeSecond brigade military organizations, the Fourteenth regiment and the Second signal corps of Brooklyn and the Seventeenth separate company of Flushing, left for a week's tour of duty in the state camp of instruction at Peeksklll to day. The Fourteenth regiment.

Colonel Harry W. Michell, in command, went by trolley car from the armory at Eighth avenue and Fifteenth street to Hamilton ferry; thence by boat to Thirty fourth street, New York. From there the soldiers marched through TSiirty fourth street and Lexington avenue to the Grand Central station on Forty second street. The Second signal corps, Captain Fred T. Leigh, took the cars near the Dean street armory and rode to the bridge whence they went on the Third avenue elevated to Forty second street.

Captain John F. Klein's Seventeenth separate company of Flushing traveled over the Long Island railroad to Long Island City, taking the boat there to Thirty fourth street, Now Y'ork, and going the rest of the way on foot. The special train bearing these three organizations and the First signal corps of New York was scheduled1 to leave New Y'ork at 1 o'clock and It got away shortly after that hour. The troops are due in Peekskill a little after 3 o'clock. The coming week will be an eventful one in camp.

In the first place, more men will be there than on any previous seven days and more than are due there on either of the remaining two weeks of the season. In addition to the organizations above mentioned there will be three separate companies, a signal corps and a detail from the Second ibattery of New York, in all about a thousand men. The Fourteenth regiment took between 550 and 575; the Second signal corps nearly its entire membership, and the Flushing company a large percentage of its strength. According to statements made to regimental headquarters by the company commandant, 589 men expected to go to camp, but a numihor, at the last moment, found that they were unahle to get away. There are forty two officers and men on the roll of tho signal corps, of whom all except six told Captain Leigh that they would bo on hand this morning.

Originally the intention was to have all four signal corps of tho state at Peeksklll, but the Fourth has been excused, its members having no uniforms. The officers will be there, however. In the two Brooklyn armories last night there was much bard work done by officers and enlisted men. Each company of the Fourteenth is entitled to a chest in which are stowed whatever belongings of the men. they cannot put in their packs.

These had to be neatly bundled and turned over to quartermaster sergeants before 10 o'clock. Of course there were somo who did not get around on time and the good natured non coms gave them, in several instances, two hours of grace. Closing the lids on these chests was a work which in more than one instance required the combined efforts of half a company or as many as could find standing rooms upon the boxes. This morning, when the assembly was sounded, the Eighth avenue armory was filled with friends and relatives of the soldiers, all of whom had good wishes and most of them good advice for the guardsmen. The men presented a fine appearance as they maTched in columns of fours from the big building.

Guard mount was performed at 9:30 o'clock to the satisfaction of the spectators, who generously applauded this first ceremony ol tne camp week. Officer of the day, as announced In Tuesday's Eagle, is Captain Avery, and the officers of the guard are Lieutenants Bridges and Wagner. It Is believed that the first twenty four hours of sentry duty will be above criticism. The baggage, which, with the company and other chests and the officers' trunks, filled several large trucks, left the armory at 10 o'clock. The boat with the soldiers on board pulled out of the Hamilton avenue slip at 11 o'clock and the men were in the Grand Central station about 12:30.

The train which carried the Brooklyn soldiers to Peekskill will bring back the Ninth regiment of New York. CORONER COOMBS SUED. Said to Have a Proprietory Interest in a Canarsie Show. Coroner E. B.

Coombs has boon served with papers in a suit for 81,000 brought by Edward E. Montgomery, who alleges that the coroner was a partner in a firm which gave a combined minstrel.baseball and ring throwing show at Canarsie. Montgomery, who was formerly connected with the Park theater, and lives 325 Hancock street, called on Coroner Coombs two or throe months ago and told him that there was money to bo made in giving a show at Canarsie. The coroner considered the matter, and when ho met Montgomery again told him that he had a iriend, Milo J. Knill, who would furnish tho capital.

Montgomery and Knill formed a partnership and. it is said, made considerable money. Knill, so Montgomery alleges, took the proceeds every day. but kept no books in which the receipts and disbursements were entered. He demanded an accounting, but this Knill refused to make.

Montgomery made a complaint to iho police of tho Canarsie station, but waB told that ho would have to bring a civil action. He accordingly placed the mattr in the hands of Kerr BrewBter, who say that it was Coroner Coombs who put up tho money and was the real partner in tho business instead of Knill. Coroner Coombs when seen by an Eaglo reporter to day said: "The only connection I had with the case is that I loaned the money to Knill with which ho went in business. I have known him for a long time and wanted to help him. As I understand it Knill put up the money and Montgomery the experience." William S.

Pladwell will appear for Coroner Coombs. THE WEATHER. INDICATIONS TILL 8 I. M. TO MORROW.

The Well Known Coach Has Something to Say About International Rowing. Wales' Bad Break. When the American line steamship New York arrived at her dock, foot of Fulton stieet, New York, at 9 o'clock this morning, she was greeted by the cheerB of several oarsmen, Yale men and members of the sporting fraternity, who lustily saluted Bob Cook and some of the members of the Yale crew, who returned with him. "With Cook came, J. Langford, stroke: J.

H. Simpson, bow, and William Beard, No. 3. Beard was accompanied by his father. Colonel Oliver T.

Beard. The four oarsmen appeared in fine fettle, were well bronzed and despite their defeat at Henley appeared happy and contented. Cook said that the other members of the Yale crew are now making a bicycle tour of England and France and will return at no remote period. "We have no excuses to make for our defeat," said Mr. Cook, ''because the fastest crew in the world won.

"Leander did not have the speed we made during the first half of the course, but thev knew how to takeladvantage of their skillful points. We have learned a great deal during our experience in England, and I am obliged to confess that English oars are better than ours, but as to the boats I don't care to say anything, as that is one of the things on which we have gained some valuable information. English oars are generally longer than ours. The Yale men are stronger than the Leander men. but Leander men average five or ix years older than the men of Yale.

Consequently they have more experience, and it is experience that counts. It's all a matter of skill. I believe that even New College could beat Yale. Yale is up to the average on a four mile course, but quick action is required on a short course. Leander is no better than Yale on a four mile course.

Why, Eton boys of 14 could row Leander a close race over the first half of the course, and the two crews wouldn't have been three feet apart at the finish. English oarsmen don't recover as fast as men. Yale got away from her old style, but will soon get back to" the original stroke of seven years ago. Of this I am satisfied. "We were treated right royally and entertained most lavishly by the Englishmen.

The stewards at Henley were honorable men. fair and square. Despite our defeat we had a most pleasant time and divided tho honors in England with tho Ancient and Honorable artillerymen. The Prince of Wales at a banquet, at which Chauncey Depew made the speech of his life, stated most affably that if he had known that Yale men were gentlemen he should certainly have attended the races, from which we could only surmise that his royal highness had but a poor opinion of Americans generally." POSTMASTER SULLIVAN SUED. Bigby Wants $10,000 Damages From the Government.

William S. Bigby of Xew York has brought suit in the New York supreme court to recover the sum of $10,000 damages from the United States government for alleged injuries sustained by blm in the Federal building in this city. John S. Wise of New York is his counsel in the matter. The suit is brought against Postmaster A.

T. Sullivan, as custodian of the building. Mr. Bigby visited Brooklyn on November 29 last on business and had occasion to enter the Federal building. In stepping from the elevator he claims he was thrown down and received certain bruises and contusions.

No bones wero broken; still he wants $10,000 for his injuries. The papers in the suit were first filed In the office of United States District Attorney Bennett. Assistant District Attorney Roy sent them over to United States District Attorney Wallace McFarlane in New York, where the action Is brought. In his answer Mr. Sullivan denies all knowledge of Mr.

Blgby's mishap and intimates, further, that from information he has received the plaintiff's injuries were of the slightest character. Ten cents' worth of sticking piaster, in his opinion, would have thoroughly healed all Mr. Uigby's wounds. It is probable that had a demurrer been entered by Mr. Sullivan's counsel the case would have fallen, since the alleged accident took place on exclusively I federal property, and a state court would have no jurisdiction.
