YOUNG WIFE A SUICIDE Husband Found Her Dying at Her Brooklyn Hills Home. "Ill- Health of Her Infant Son Preyed on Mrs. Schaefer's -She Inhaled Gas. When Charles W. Schaefer, who is connected with the Standard Oil Company, in Long, Island City reached his home at 55 Beech street, Brooklyn Hills, at 5:30 yesterday afternoon he detected a strong odor of gas in the hallway.

Fearing that something was wrong, he ran up to his wife's room on the third floor. There the smell of gas was stronger than below. He forced the door and on the bed, with a rubber tube from the open gas jet in her mouth, was his young wife, and on the floor beside her the tiny body; of their baby. Charles. Mr.

Schaefer turned off the open stopcock, removed the rubber tube and found that the pulses of both mother and child were throbbing faintly. Dr. Tresbach, who lives but a block away, was summoned, but when he arrived Mrs. Schafer was dead. The baby still living, and after working over it an hour the doctor said that the child would not die.

Mr. Schaefer was so affected by the tragedy that he could not be seen last night, but relatives and friends at the house told how melancholy, which is believed to have led to temporary mental derangement, brought about her end. The young wife's intense love for her child had been noted by every one in the neighborhood. She refused the service of a nurse and insisted on caring for the infant herself. She was cautioned both by Mr.

Schaefer and close friends that the baby, instead of gaining health, was becoming feeble and diseased because of her inability to properly care for it, and 4 the realization that her care for the little was proving futile induced nervous prostration; melancholia followed, resultyesterday's tragedy. Mrs. Schaefer, before her marriage, was Miss Mary Lemkau and taught in a big Brooklyn school and was very active in the girls department of the Congregational Church in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn. Mrs. Schaefer was the daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. Martin Lemkau and was born in Brooklyn twenty-eight years ago and lived there until her marriage in 1905. Later the couple bought their fine residence in Brooklyn Hills. Funeral services will be conducted tomorrow from her home. CATHOLIC CHURCH CHANGES.

Great Purpose Is to Rearrange Work of Congregations. Hartford, July 23-From a full text of the apostolic constitution ending the missionary existence of the Catholic church in the United States, the Catholic Transcript, official organ of the diocese of Hartford, to-day points out notable changes in the Roman curia. The great purpose is to rearrange and redistribute the work of the various congregations, tribunals and offices of the Roman curia. If it is found opportune in this country to follow the footsteps of the propaganda no visible change in parochial life will result, but, the Transcript adds, it may well happen that a future constitution will inaugurate radical changes in the internal administration of the American church. POLICEMAN'S HIP DISLOCATED.

Mounted Policeman Thomas Rossiter, attached to the College Point precinct, was riding on the Boulevard there yesterday, when a barking dog frightened his horse. The animal started to run, and as he did so stumbled and fell. Rossiter, unable to extricate feet from the stirrups, fell under the horse. His hip was dislocated and he otherwise injured. He is now in the Flushing Hospital.

His home is at 1552 Greene avenue, Brooklyn. FAILURE TO WIN GIRL DROVE HIM TO GUNPLAY Hannon Killed Himself After Wounding Augusta Wald and Ralph Nanz. SHOOTING AT FORT LOWRY. Girl and Her Partner Were Dancing When Hannon Fired at Close Range. Angered because of his failure to win pretty Augusta Wald, a sixteen-year-old daughter of Mr.

and Mrs. August Wald, with whom he had been madly in love, John C. Hannon, a stenographer attached to the Ninth District Court, over which Magistrate Geismar presides at Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street, shot the young woman and a young man friend with whom she was dancing in the ballroom of the Fort Lowry Hotel, Bath Beach, last night, and then committed suicide. Miss Wald was carried up to her room in the hotel and Ambulance Surgeon Lang, who had been summoned from the Reception Hospital at Coney Island, removed the young man to the institution. Hannon's body was taken to his home by permission of the coroner.

It was said to-day that both Miss Wald and Ralph Manz, who was also shot, will recover. The hotel was crowded with guests and friends of the principals when the shooting took place and all was excitement for a time, until Police Captain Devaney and Lieutenant Francis Finn, in charge of the reserves from the Bath Beach station, arrived. Bath Beach was still discussing the Cropsey murder of Tuesday noon when the report of the shooting was spread about the place. It seemed as if everybody in town rushed down to hotel soon after they heard of it, but the police soon cleared the crowd away and quiet was restored. Both Mr.

and Mrs. Wald and Miss Sabina Wald, their eldest daughter, were prostrated, but revived when they were informed that the young woman and her companion were not dead and were in no immediate danger of dying. Bullet Passed Through Both Cheeks of the Girl. Miss Wald was conscious and was attended by Dr. John A.

Voorhees, a brother of Magistrate Albert Van Brunt Voorbees. who has an office at 1740 Cropsey avenue, a block away from the scene of the shooting, and Doctor Ross of the hotel. Doctor Voorhees found that the young woman had been shot in the left cheek. The bullet, which was fired from a .38 caliber revolver, had knocked out three teeth of the lower jaw and plowed its way through the right cheek. Miss Wald had raised her right arm to defend herself and the bullet, which had flattened itself when it struck the teeth, imbedded itself in her arm.

Dr. Voorhees succeeded in extracting the bullet. The young woman was removed today from her room at the hotel to the Bensonhurst Sanitarium at Cropsey and Twenty-third avenues, where she will be attended by Doctor Earl H. Mayne, the Wald's family physician. The bullet which struck Manz, Miss Wald's partner in the dance, plowed into his left arm and, striking the elbow, glanced downward.

Ambulance Surgeon Lang extracted it and Manz was taken to the home of his uncle at 1841 Eightythird street, Van Pelt Manor, about a block from the old Cropsey homestead where Andrew Bergen Cropsey murdered his wife the day before. It was on or about July 4, last year, when Hannon first met the young woman whom he shot down. He had been living in Bath Beach for some years with his mother and two sisters at 8690 Bay Sixteenth street, near Benson avenue. He was somewhat musically inclined and was fond of the violin. When he learned that August Wald was a musician of ability and gave lessons, he called at the Wald home at 129 Bay Twenty-second street and made arrangements to become a pupil.

Fell in Love With His Teacher's Daughter. There he met Miss Wald and, according to the stories told from time to time by the young girl to her mother he immediately showed much love for her. Everything he said to the girl was told to Mr. and Mrs. Wald, but it was never dreamed that Hannon meant anything serious.

He regular with his violin lessons and, as Mr. Wald said to-day, seemed to be a gentleman in every respect and a fine fellow. He generally accepted Mr. Wald's invitation to join him in a cup of coffee or a little lunch after the lesson and in that way the men became good friends. He was proposed for membership by Past Master Bachman in Kedron Lodge, No.

803, and A. of which Mr. Wald is a member, and recently took the third degree in the lodge. Mr. Wald said to-day that Hannon appeared to be infatuated with his young daughter and early in June he spoke to him about the matter and asked him if he could have permission of the parents to call upon the young woman.

Mr. Wald told him the young girl did not care for any particular company and Hannon finally ceased to mention the matter when in conversation with Mr. Wald. He continued to see the girl, however, at every opportunity and when the Wald house was rented for season early last month and the family, all of whom are musicians, went down to the Fort Lowry Hotel in the capacity an orchestra, Hannon was a daily caller. Mr.

Wald has furnished the music at the hotel for a number of years. The young woman played the 'cello, her father and her older sister, Sabina, the violin and her mother the piano. Persisted in Paying Addresses to the Girl. Every evening the hotel folk and the many young friends of the Wald family gather in the big ballroom and dance and Hannon has never missed a night there, He did not always see Miss Wald when he called, because she spent three hours practice on the 'cello almost daily and was not. able to be present at all times with her family at the dances.

Whenever he did get an opportunity to talk with the young girl, he immediately began to tell her of his love. She told her mother, and politely informed him that she did not want him to talk to her in that vein. Miss Wald's objections, however. did not prevent Hannon from pressing his suit, and when he saw her a few nights ago he drew her aside and asked her if she would not give him some word of encouragement. He took her hand, but she promptly withdrew it and declared she did not want any such actions.

Yesterday afternoon, shortly after the luncheon hour, Hannon appeared at the hotel, and it was noticed he was very nervous. Mrs. Wald saw him approaching her party and declared to her husband that Augusta would not come down to see him, as she was busy with her 'cello in her room. Hannon went over to Mr. Wald and asked him and the others in the party to join him in a drink in the cafe.

Mr. Wald said to-day he told Hannon he did not care to drink then and the others in the party also refused. Hannon insisted, however, and while the party was seated in the veranda Miss Wald appeared from her room. Girl Told Hannon She Did Not Want His Love, Hannon succeeded in getting the young woman over to a corner of the porch and again asked her if she would look upon him as a suitor. "Tell me, if you will, to go away for two 01 three years," he said to her, MISS AUGUSTA WALD.

WALD. Suitor, Who Afterward Killed Himself. OR. FLYNN'S SUPERIORS DECLARE HIM INNOCENT Queens Board of Coroners Probe Woman's Story of Indignities. EXONERATE THE PHYSICIAN.

Widow Who Made Charges Repeats Her Story--Others' Testimony Seems to Render It Incredible. A meeting of the board of coroners of Queens Borough was held at Jamaica this morning to consider charges of a serious nature made against Dr. T. J. Flynn, one of the coroners' physicians of the borough.

The charges were made by Mrs. Bertha Meyer, a widow, of 140 Dewey avenue, Jamaica, who alleged that on Monday morning, at her home, after an inquest on the body of her husband, she was forced to submit to shameful indignities by Dr. Flynn. Mrs. Meyer's affidavit, on which the charges were based, states that the doctor's acts were committed while three other doctors from St.

Mary's Hospital and the undertaker and his assistant were in one room, and a Mrs. Dillon and her two children were in the adjoining kitchen. She claims that the attack upon her was made upon pretence that it was necessary to get the facts needed in connection with the autopsy. She repeated this story when sworn before the coroners -day, giving even more details. The testimony of Undertaker D.

Shea and of Drs. Pattingill, Schneble and Crawford of St. Mary's Hospital, was substantially similar, and to the effect that not over five minutes elapsed between the close of the autopsy and the making out of the death certificate, during which Dr. Flynn was alone with Mrs. Meyer for the purpose, as he stated on the stand, of getting from the widow certain facts necessary for filling out the certificate, which was handed at once to the undertaker, and after which the whole party, including Dr.

Flynn, boarded an auto and went back to the hospital. Some of the above witnesses said that Dr. Flynn was not out of their sight more than three or four minutes, and the undertaker said that when the death certificate was handed to him it was correctly made out. All say that at no time was any outcry heard nor any loud or excited conversation. Undertaker Shea said that the woman was in a highly nervous condition when he was called to care for body, and that every time she saw the body she would say: "Now, you've done it, and done it good," referring to her husband's suicide from taking paris green.

He said she talked excitedly also about her late husband's employer owing him money, and that it was almost impossible to perform ordinary business transactions with the woman owing to her nervous condition. Dr. Hicks, who attended Mrs. Meyer on Tuesday afternoon, said she was in a highly nervous state and during her conversation about other matters, repeated the story about Dr. Flynn, but that he did not take it seriously and gave the woman medicine for her nerves.

Detective Arthur C. Tillman said he visited the Meyer house on the Sunday evening previous to the alleged attack and said Mrs. Meyer was highly excited and nervous about her husband's suicide after she had begun suit against. him for abandonment. The board of coroners, after taking the testimony of Mrs.

Meyer, Dr. Flynn and the others, rendered a decision as follows: "We find, after due examination of all witnesses, that the charge has not been sustained according to the testimony given." BOY'S SKULL FRACTURED. Head Caught Between Wagon and Building at Jamaica. John Tucker, 6 years old, of 307 West Fifteenth street, Manhattan, is in St. Mary's Hospital, Jamaica, with a fractured skull.

The boy is in a critical state, but may recover. Yesterday afternoon he accompanied his father, who is a driver for a Manhattan concern, to Jamaica. The boy was lying on the bottom of the wagon. As the vehicle was backed up against the side of the building at 12 Rockaway road. the lad's head was caught between the building and the wagon.

His skull was fractured and he was badly cut and bruised. It was at first thought he was killed, but at the hospital to-day it was said he may possibly recover. SUNDAY LAW CASE. On a charge of violating the Sunday law. Harris Lubon, a merchant at 6918 Third avenue, was fined $5 in the Fifth avenue court this morning by Magistrate Geismar.

Officer John Klintworth of the Fort Hamilton precinct claimed that the man sold him on Sunday, June 21, a collar for 15 cents. The merchant denied the charge, but he had no witnesses, and the policeman had a brother officer to corroborate his statements. CLAD ONLY IN PAJAMAS CLIFFORD MADE CALLS Early Morning Visits to the Neighbors in Gates Av. Flathouses. SOME PERILOUS ESCAPADES.

Captured in the Apartment of a Neighbor and Taken to Flatbush for Observation. A dozen or more families occupying four big double apartment houses on Gates avenue were thrown into a great state of excitement early this morning when Arthur Clifford, 25 years old, of 488 Gates avenue, in a fit of insanity entered several flats by means of front and rear windows, in his pajamas, after having climbed up and down the fire escape of 488 and along the coping of the four houses. He was finally captured in the apartment of a neighbor by two policemen and his four brothers and removed to the Kings County Hospital. It was about 2 o'clock this morning, so far as could be learned, when Clifford first started upon his pilgrimage. He lives his family on the third floor of 488 Gates avenue.

From his own apartment, the young man climbed to the fire escape and made his way to the landing on a level with the apartments of a Mrs. Parseghim, on the floor below. There he found the window open and went in. Carefully he made his way, through to the front room, where by stumbling over a chair he awakened little 10 year old Harry Parseghim. "Who's that?" called the boy.

"There's somebody downstairs," replied Clifford, as he opened the front window and made his way onto the narrow coping, two floors from the ground. With that luck and good fortune said to protect mad men, scrambled along the coping to the window opening into the apartments of Mrs. Bickfort in the house next door, No. 490. He found the window open there, as in the other house, and jumped in.

Someone in the flat heard him. however, and Clifford screamed, eviawakening the family. dently decided that he didn't care to remain there, and so once more climbed to the coping and half crawling, half running, made his way to the big apartment house on the corner, at 494. In the meantime several families living on the second and third floors of 492, which he I passed on his journey, were awakened by the sound of his feet on the tin coping. Many thought a fire had broken out and others were under the impression that a burglar was at work.

Those into whose apartments Clifford made an entrance were too terrified to act. On the corner, near the last house to which the young man went, were four policemen of the Gates avenue station, two of whom were being relieved from duty. When Clifford appeared on the coping in his pink pajamas the attention of the officers was attracted at once. "What's the matter?" called one. fire?" "No," replied Clifford, "there's somebody downstairs and I'm trying to catch him." Just about this time the cries of terrified neighbors were heard and several came running to the street from the house under the impression that it was on fire.

Clifford in the meantime was returning along the coping in the direction from which he had come. It wasn't until several members of the young man's family, missing him, came to the street and told the four policemen the true state of affairs, that efforts were made to capture Clifford. His four brothers, meanwhile, were waiting in the hall of 488, hoping that he would return to his own apartments. He didn't, though, but climbed into the Parseghim flat once more. There his brothers and two of the policemen found him.

A call was sent to St. John's Hospital, bringing Dr. Soper to the scene. Dr. Soper took Clifford to the Kings County Hospital in Flatbush to have his sanity looked into.

It was sometime before the police could quiet the tenants of the four big houses who were very much excited. The clang of the ambulance bell, when that vehicle arrived, added still greater to the terror of the frightened people. Relatives of Clifford told a reporter this morning that the young man never went insane before. They declared, however, that he smokes cigarettes a great deal and thought that might have had something to do with his sudden attack of dimentia. He served three years in the United States navy at one time, they said, and never showed symptoms of insanity.

The police are wondering to how it was that the young man managed to climb back and forth on the narrow coping at such a speed as that at which he traveled, without falling off. The piece of tin could not be more than three inches wide. PRESIDENT HOME AGAIN. Mayflower Anchors Off Oyster Bay After an Uneventful Run Up the Sound. (Special to the Eagle.) Oyster Bay, L.

July 23-President Roosevelt returned to Sagamore Hill today after his visit to Newport, where yesterday he addressed the members of the Naval War College on the needs of a "footloose" fighting navy. The return trip up the Sound was a pleasant uneventful one, unmarked by any untoward incident. The Mayflower dropped anchor outer harbor early in the morning, but it was two hours later bePresident and members of his party boarded the little cutter and started for the Roosevelt pier. The President expressed himself as greatly pleased with his visit Newport. The damage to the Mayflower, which resulted from the collision with a schooner, which she ran into and sank on the trip from Oyster Bay to Newport, is not of a serious nature.

The yacht will go at once to the New York Navy Yard for a thorough examination, however, and her injuries will be repaired. WENDELL'S WATCH WENT. Stamschell, Supposed to Know About It, Was Arrested. Frank Stamschell, 22 years old, of 77 South Sixth street, was arrested yesterday afternoon near his home by Detectives Brownell and Berringer of the Ralph avenue station on suspicion of knowing something about the theft of a watch belonging to Adam Wendell 25 Furman avenue. He was arraigned in the Gates avenue court to-day and held for the Court of Special Sessions.

KILLED MAN IN BALTIMORE, And Served Term in Prison for the Crime -Doings in Lexington Avenue House.

William H. King, a negro, who, according to his own statement, was released 'from prison comparatively few months ago, where he had served thirteen years for killing a man, was arrested at 3 o'clock this morning, charged with having twice stabbed another negro, during a quarrel at 409 Lexington avenue. The man stabbed, Henry Brown, who claims a home at Lexington avenue address, is seriously, not fatally, injured, havthou ing a two inch wound in the right breast and another of about the same size in the abdomen. King, who is thirty-five years old, says he acted in self defense, but Magistrate Furlong in Gates avenue court held him without for examination July 27. The wreapon alleged to have been by a jack knife with 8 blade more than four inches in length.

That he did not kill his man, striking as he did at vital points, was a surprise to those who saw the wounded man after the affair. That he was promptly arrested was due to the good work of Deter tives Mohman and Battalora of the Gates avenue station and Dowling of the Bath Beach precinct. King has been employed as butler by Dr. De Coster, who lives at 222 Bay Eighth street, for about a month. His wife is also employed by the physician, being a cook.

King visited the home of Dora Williams, at 409 Lexington avenue, last night. There were other men and women there and beer flowed very freely. Shortly after midnight there was a quarrel over one Grace Van Brunt. Some blows were struck, and then King. is said to have pulled the knife from his pocket and plunged it into Brown's body, and repeated the act.

This was at 12:30 o'clock. A call for medical aid brought an ambulance from St. John's Hospital and Detectives Mohrman and Battalora from the Gates avenue station, three blocks distant. King had made good his escape when the officers arived. Brown was stretched out on the floor with blood flowing from his wounds.

Dr. Soper dressed the wounds and sewed them up. He did not remove the injured man to the hospital, as he protested against leaving the house. As soon as order had been restored, the detectives got hold of the janitor of the building, Jim Meyers, and learning where King hailed from and started post haste for Bath Beach, taking Meyers along to identify the man wanted. After a visit to the One Hundred and Seventieth precinct station house and enlisting Officer Dowling, a search of the district was made.

King was spotted at 3 o'clock at Bath avenue and Bay Eighth street, on his way to the house where he was employed. He was immediately placed under arrest and is said to have admitted the stabbing, and said it had been done in self defence. He was taken to the Gates avenue station house and locked up and later arraigned in the Gates avenue court. The accused admitted in court that he had killed a man in Baltimore and had served a sentence for it. To an Eagle man he said he had shot and killed a man named Thomas, he could not recall his first name, during a quarrel over a game of cards in Baltimore, August 21, 1892, and had been sentenced to twenty years in prison.

I served thirteen years and four months in the Maryland Penitentiary for the shooting and was let out in continued King. "I don't just recall the date. I came to New York when I got out and worked over in Manhattan as a janitor until I got the place with Dr. DeCoster. In this affair last I was in no way to blame for the trouble.

I went to the house to see some my friends and there was a row started by a man full of liquor -Jim Meyers knows how it started--and Brown cracked me over the head. I had to do something SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENTS. COOL TE SUITSI The whole secret of comfort these days is in dressing right. Every ounce counts when it comes to clothing in hot weather.

FRANK MORA William C. H. New ULRICH, Representatives, 15 York, N. Y. Girl Who Was Shot by Rejected "and that will wait for me.

That will be enough." you, Miss Wald told him she would do ing of the kind and if he continued to annoy her she would be compelled to give him an answer he would probably not expect. "Tell me the truth." he said to her. "That's what I want." The young woman thereupon told him she did not care any more for him than she did for any other of the young men friends of the family. Her answer undoubtedly angered Hannon, for he appeared to change completely, and as he walked away he said he would see her again. It was some time after the dinner hour last night when he again appeared.

The family were busy playing a waltz when he appeared in the big ball room. After the dance many adjourned to the veranda and among them Mr. and Mrs. Wold, the Misses Wald and Hannon. Just before the time for another dance, Hannon.

asked the young woman if he could have the next two-step with her, and she ran over asked her permission. Mr. Wald had no objection. Fired When He Saw Her Dance With Another. Young Ralph Nanz, who was also a member of the party, was Miss Wald's partner in the next waltz, and when Hannon saw the young fellow put his arm about the girl's waist he was seen to step forward, and before anyone could step in to prevent him, he drew a big revolver and placing it close to Miss Wald's cheek, he fired.

Then he quickly pointed the revolver at Nanz and, after shooting him, put the revolver to his own head and fired two shots. Hannon fell to the floor and died almost instantly. Miss Wald and Nanz, both of whom had also fallen, were quickly lifted to chairs and the physicians and ambulance surgeon were soon at hand. At the Hannon home to-day all was in darkness. The suicide's mother and two sisters refused to talk and refused to say when the funeral would take place.

At the Nanz home, on Eighty-third street, nothing could be learned about the shooting. Magistrate Geismar Speaks Well of Hannon. In the Fifth avenue court this morning much sympathy was expressed for John C. Hannon, who was Magistrate Geismar's court stenographer. Magistrate Geismar said to-day: "Hannon was an ideal stenographer, and never once was a complaint made about his work, either by me or at the district attorney's office.

was the last man in the world you would expect would do such a thing. He was meek, quiet and rather uncombad habits. was thought of municative, andeo far well' know had no and apparently harbored no ill feelings towards anyone. I cannot account for his act." Chief Clerk Denis King and Complaint Clerks O'Neill and Brown also spoke well of Hannon. Except to his friends he was not very communicative.

He had traveled a great deal and spoke very entertainingly of his experiences. Besides his court work he carried on a large busibut he never allowed the latter to ness, interfere with the work he was paid to do by the city. It was said at the court that he probably earned as much as $5,000 a year. He was well liked by all who knew him, and everyone was greatly surprised by the news of the tragedy. WARNING FOR THE BAILEYS Note Threatening Death Found in Greenlawn Family's Barn.

It Has Given Recipients Fresh Cause for Fear, and They Are Much Wrought Up, (Special to the Eagle.) Greenlawn, L. July 23-Officers Amasa Beggs and James Wright of Huntington stood watch over the Bailey farm here on Tuesday night, and for the first time since Friday last there was 1 no disturbance. People began to breath more easily and thought the troubles of the Baileys were an end. But yesterday when Mrs. Bailey went into the barn she found nailed to a beam a note which, in substance, said: "You have killed one of our number and injured another; no harm will come to anybody else than the one who did the shooting, but he we will have." The note was written on a piece of brown paper such as butchers use.

It was written in what might be termed broken English, and by a foreigner, as the construction of the words showed. There was no signature, Mrs. Bailey visited the office of Justice Hawkins with the note during the day and turned the warning over to him. The family, who have been in 8. state of alarm ever since the alleged attempt at horse stealing last Friday night, view with added fear the finding of this note.

John, the 19-year-old son to whom the note evidently refers, has been implored by his parents to go away for a time, but this he refuses to do, saying he will remain and see the thing through. The condition of the Bailey family is really pitiful. They scarcely dare venture out of doors day or night, fearing they may be attacked. While some are inclined to make light of the whole affair and believe it largely a matter of the imagination, or the work of some practical joker, a talk with any member of the family will convince the most skeptical that they feel that one of their number at least is in danger of his life. The affair has reached that point where the public believes that a detective should be put on the case in an effort to unravel the mystery, but as yet none has been employed.
