John Pullman Received Letter Nine Days After It Was Mailed in the Ocean, (Special to the Eagle.) Palm Beach, February 21-John Pullman, one of the many prominent Brooklyn residents on their annual stay here is his friends a very interlesting "the message that came telling, from the sea' from his friend George E. Lovett, a Brooklyn real estate man with offices at 308 Livingston street.

Mr. Pullman received a note of happy greetings and best wishes signed by Lovett, not by wireless or cable or any other form of dispatch, but by way of a bottle that Mr. Lovett had tossed into the ocean. The bottle was picked up on the shore of Palm Beach by a colored boy strolling along the sands early one morning a few days ago, and brought to Mr. Pullman at The Breakers, in accordance with the address in the bottle.

It all came about in this way: Mr. Lovett, who is a very close acquaintance of Mr. Pullman, was seated in the cabin of the steamship Havana, bound for Cuba 011 his annual cruise, when he came across a copy of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle which showed a picture of Mr. Pullman with a great catch he had made at Palm Beach, and told a story of the great success he was making as a fisherman at that resort. The thought struck Mr.

Lovett as the steamer was passing about three miles off shore that he would like to write his friend, just for the novelty of it. and he tried the scheme of sending him a message in a bottle by water. He dashed off a few lines, stuffed the note in a bottle tightly corked and cast it into the water. One of the natives here strolling along the beach early one morning last week had his attention attracted by the sight of the bottle 011 the shore with a note within. and his curiosity led him to see what it contained.

The note was as fol- lows: "New York and Cuba Mail Steamship Company, "Feb. 8th, 1910; 9:30 A.M. "Steamship "Dear John--You certain'; looked natural in front of that of The Brooklyn spread itself on that cut. Colonel Hester must be at the Poinciana. We have a delightful trip and congenial company.

Left New York Saturday, 5th, at noon. I will be at the Hotel Plaza, Havana, next two weeks. Will sure bring home a smoke for you. Respects to your bride. "Yours to a cinder.

"GEORGE E. LOVETT." The reverse side of the letterhead bore the following: "The finder will please deliver this and receive a reward of one (1) dollar, to "John Pullman, The Breakers, "Palm Beach, Florida." Mr. Pullman received the note and paid the reward with pleasure. FELL DOWN STAIRS.

Samuel Kilgore, 46 years old, who lives at 166 Douglass street, was badly burned last night while at work in a big sugar house at Kent avenue South Third street, where he is employed as a water tender. He lifted the valve of one of the engines to let off steam, but a stream of boiling water shot out from the pipe, going over the man's hands and legs.

He was painfully scalded, and Dr. Cohen took him to the Eastern District! Hospital. The surgeon told Kilgore to remain at the institution, as he would probably contract pleurisy, but the man left for his home. ALMOST CHOKED TO DEATH. George McBride, 30 years old.

of 110 Rutledge street, had a narrow escape from choking to death when he swallowed a large piece of meat last night while eating his supper, that stuck in his esophagus.

SAVED BY A WOMAN IN SUBWAY Thomas Casey Rescued From Death Under a Train. Fought the Police, and Said Grief Caused Him to Take Three Glasses of Whisky.

An unidentified young' woman saved the life of a young man in the Brooklyn Bridge subway station shortly before 2 o'clock this morning, by clutching the latter when he tried to hurl himself in front of 1.11 approaching northbound subway local train. The young man, who ward said he was Thomas Casey, 21 years clerk, of 2145 Amsterdam avenue, Manhattan, was caught by several others on platform after the young woman had 'done her part, but he struggled wildly and continued to do so until he was landed in the Oak street police station on charges of attempted suicide and intoxication. The woman whose promptness of action saved Casey from death disappeared in the crowd of excited persons in the station, and the police were unable to discover who she was. No attention was paid to the young clerk until he was seen to lunge forward to the edge of the northbound platform as a train came rolling into the station. Several persons shouted, and it was then that the young woman seized Casey and managed to hold him until the first car had passed.

Casey, who had been placed under ar-1 rest on the charge of attempted suicide, was hustled into an ambulance, but before the vehicle was started he kicked Patrolman Condon in the stomach, according to that officer's statement. Condon was thrown to the pavement. Policemen were forced to restrain the clerk all way to the Oak street station. There, Casey said he had lost a friend through death on Saturday evening. Grief had caused him to take three glasses of whisky, the first he had ever taken.

He was locked up. SLASHES SON-IN-LAW Michael Castello Marks Up Angello Balsabo. Calls at House and After Wordy Argument Draws Knife-Balsabo Badly Hurt, With a knife slash across his face which will last the rest of his life, Angello Balsabo, 35 years old, of 473 Malbone street, is lying in the Kings County Hospital, as a result of an unexpected call from his father-in-law, Michael Castello, last night. police are looking for Michael on charge of felonious assault. About 9:30 last night, while Angello was seated with his young wife, his father-in-law came the door and called for Angello to come out.

The two entered into an altercation in front of Angello's home. Angello's wife, who had followed her husband to the street, it is said, saw her father draw a knife from his coat and make a slash at her husband. She creamed a warning, but it was too late. With his face cut in several places Angello put up a good fight until he fell exhausted. His father-in-law then ran across the felds toward the Reid avenue car line.

A call was sent for an ambulance, and Surgeon Tenapy responded from the Kings County Hospital. After dressing the wounds he removed Angello to the hospital, where he is in a low state. FEATHER THIEVES ARE BUSY Police Baffled by Raids Throughout Brooklyn. Robbers Gain Much Loot, and Attempts Are Made to Hide Crimes From Public. Several feather thefts, so prevalent in Manhattan in the past few months, have been reported to the Brooklyn police authorities recently.

The police withhold all information regaraing the cases, and so far have done nothing toward solving the robberies. In the interval between 6:30 o'clock last Friday night and 8:30 Saturday morning more than $300 wortk of ostrich feathers were stolen from Madame Jonas' millinery shop at the corner of Flatbush and Livingston street. Besides taking the feathers the thief ruined several hundred dollars' worth of hats and trimmings. Millie Jonas, proprietor of the store, is confident that the theft was an "inside job." With unerring accuracy the thief hauled out box after box of feathers; forced only show cases containing expensive -trimmed hatr, and used the long working knives used by the hat trimmers to rip plumes from crowns. William Fountain, janitor of the building.

said this morning that about six months ago he found a man in the cellar, crouching on the stairway leading to the millinery shop. Fountain entered the cellar about 9 o'clock at night with his dog. The animal detected the presence of the intruder, and alarmed the janitor. Seeing that his presence was known, the man bolted past Fountain and escaned. On last Friday night Madame Jonas' eighteen- son, Morris, locked up the store.

With him was A colored porter. John Randolph, aged 18, of 16 Bancroft place. Conclusive evidence that the thief was an amateur was shown by several details of the affair. The heavy furnace poker was used to pry a board, cutting off cellar from the shop at the head of the stairs. No attempt was made to open the safe, nor to break the strong box, in which there was no money at the time.

A trail of feathers leading to the extreme front of the basement, which is lighted by a skylight, shows that the burglary was committed some time after dawn, when the loot was dragged to the light to be packed. ELEMENTARY GRADES COUNCIL.

New Commissioner Is Trying to Abolish the Heavy Annual Deficit, The expected upheaval in the Dock Department has been begun by Dock Commissioner Tomkins, who to-day announced the removal John F.

Ambrose as the superintendent of docks and ferries. No explanation was forthcoming, except that by such radical economies it was hoped to cut down the annual deficiency in cost of operating the municipal ferries. The losses have almost reached six figures since the city started in with the Staten Island ferry. Commissioner Tomkins announced that he had appointed Commander Walter F. Sears, U.

S. retired, to succeed Mr. Ambrose. He was selected because he is an expert, and the commissioner will expect him to examine into the supervision of the ferries and point out where money can be saved. He will not remain permanently in the place, but just long enough to make the recommendations the commissioner is seeking.

Ambrose has been drawing a salary of $5.000 a year. He is an organization Democrat, living at 10 East One Hundred and Thirtieth street, Manhattan. He been holding office for the past four years. Many complaints been received by Commissioner Tompkins protesting against the alleged extravagant management of the public ferries. Not long ago he made a quick inspection trip of the ferries, and decided that, while the service was good.

too much money was being spent to maintain it. Within the next few days another list of removals will be announced by the commissioner. He believes that not only the ferryboats, but the other vessels in the department, are very much overmanned. In the labor lists the commis- sioner also believes there are many men whose services can be dispensed with. After he gets through here he will tackle the problem of getting rid of some of the high priced employes in the department.

In this economy programme Mr. Tompkins has the hearty support of the Mayor. THREE HURT ON A JOY RIDE Machine Skidded Into Iron Rail in Central Park.

Getting into the car, the chauffeur drove to the Fifty-ninth street entrance of Central Park and then started north in the East Drive. Everything went smoothly until Eighty-sixth street was reached.

After some advice as to moderation in the use of mixed ale, Judge Farmer found the pair guilty and suspended sentence. TIETGEN UP AGAIN.

Even the Fulton street shop windows vie with one another in attractive displays intended to remind 11S that to-morrow is George Washington's birthday. Although recent events associate the hatchet with the name of Nation, it is still the favorite Washington emblem. Brooklyn has the reputation of being the home of more good fellowship and social entertainment than any city of its size in the country, and on the eve of. a national holiday the reason for that reputation is everywhere apparent.

The patriotic society known as the Little Men and Women of Seventy-six has very properly chosen this evening as an appropriate date for a dance at the Heights Casino. The Unity Club has secured Trommer's Hall, Bushwick avenue and Conway street, and will entertain its guests with a professional minstrel show to be followed by a dance.

The second annual ball of the Tribune Athletic Club also will be held to-night at. Tietgen's Hall, Sixteenth street and Fifth avenue.

I Fifth Avenue and 35th Street A LITTLE SUNDAY ROW Sicilian Stirs Up Disturbance in Gowanus. Chased by Bicycle Cop, He Throws Away Some Souvenirs--Mystery in Case. A Sicilian who in the opinion of the police may have had a grudge of long standing to settle, was arrested after a chase in Twenty-first street about 8 o'clock last night. In his trail he dropped a pearl-handled revolver and a la knife, so that when Bicycle Policeman John E.

Cone caught his man the latter was not armed. Cone's prisoner said he was Frank Long, which the police say is not the name he had in Sicily. He gave his age as 36 years and address as 141 Nineteenth street. It Is not known how long he has been America, but is long enough for him to have become pretty well known to the Italian and Sicilian families in South Brooklyn. Mrs.

Joseph Pugilisi, who keeps a fish store with her husband at Fourth avenue and Twenty-Arst street, is one of those who know Long, who was born' in the same town in Sicily. What the trouble was between Long and the Pugilisi family, Mrs. Pugilisi would not tell the police when they question her. Cone was on post near the fish store. Mrs.

Pugilisi's son dashed from the store and told Cone to hurry in. He said a man was there with a gun, looking for the senior Pugilisi, Cone started for the store and the man who later said he was Long, hurried from the doorway and started running. Cone went back for his bicycle and was soon pedaling after Long. Cone says he was close enough to Long when a revolver was tossed away to see that the weapon had a handle. of pearl.

He saw Long discard a knife, too. he said. Later he returned and found a knife in the gutter. The pistol he could not find, and he thinks a friend of the prisoner picked it up. Mrs.

Pugilisi told Cone she would be in the Fifth avenue police court to -day to appear against Long. She was there but was not inclined to make a serious charge against the man. Cone explained to Magistrate Naumer that the woman was afraid of Long and that all she wanted was that he keep away from her and her family. The only charge against Long was one of intoxication and Magistrate Naumer sent him up for ten days. WANTED NOISE STOPPED.
