3 TICKET CHOPPER ON SUBWAY TRACK Rolled Away From the Rails as Express Train Started. BUT WAS BADLY INJURED, And Died Afterward in Hospital. Negro, Who Threw Man Down, Saved From Lynching. George Metzinger, 60 years of age, 'of 105 West One Hundred and Fourth street, gateman at the South Ferry station of the subway in Manhattan, escaped with his lite for the this morning, pushed the police moment, path of an express train, which was just drawing out. of the station.

He died afterward in the 'HudHospital. He had sufficient presence of mind when he got the opportunity to roll to one side of the track and there, in the hollowed out space, above which are the lines of light, lay until the train had passed. 3 He taken out badly injured. Charged with felonious assault, Policemen McKenna, Hale and Simons, of the Church street station, arrested a colored man, who said he was William Curtis, a porter employed by the New York Central Railroad, of 67 East One Hundred and Thirty-fourth street. According to the gatemen and the ticket choppers, Curtis dashed through the gates in a great hurry as the express, the first due at the South Ferry, was about to start on its return trip.

He brushed the ticket chopper aside, when that employc tried to compel him to deposit a ticket and then Metzinger interfered. In the struggle the police say Curtis pushed Metzinger with such force that he fell directly in the path of the train which had just got under way. A cry of horror went up from the people on the platform, as they expected Metzinger to cut to pieces. Curtis was surrounded by men who threatened to kill him. Meantime the train passed and Metzinger was lifted out, still conscious from beBide the track.

In the wait for Dr. Coverly from Hudson Street Hospital, the crowd made a determinde effort to wrest Curtis from the policemen, and it was only after a struggle that the latter were able to get him up the stairs and hustle him up to the police station. He denied that he had pushed the old man. But nevertheless, he was held on the charge of felonious assault. Dr.

Kibbe responded in the ambulance from the Hudson Street Hospital and, after working over Metzinger nearly half an hour, took him to the hospital. Metzinger was unconscious when he reached the hospital and he died at 8:15 o'clock. The case was reported to the coroner's office from the hospital as' a "sudden death," and news of Metzinger's demise did not reach the Tombs Police Court until some little time after Curtis had been arraigned before Magistrate Kernochan on a charge of felonious assault. Curtis declined to make a statement to the magistrate and after testimony by the police bearing on the case, he was held without bail to await the result of Metzinger's injuries. He was sent to the Tombs.

Shortly afterward news of Metzinger's death was received and the charge against Curtis was changed that of homicide. Curtis was later arraigned in the Tombs Court and remanded without ball to await the action of the coroner. TROUBLE AT THE ISLAND. Special and Regular Policemen Had Their Hands Full Last Night. Real Culprits Got Away.

Special officers of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company had the most trying time of the season at the railroad terminals at Coney Island last night. Although made only seven arrests, the crowd had to handle last night they, was particularly large was composed largely of an East Side element that seemed to in a very ugly mood. About 1 o'clock this morning it appeared as if the hundred thousand or more people who were at the resort insisted on going home about the same time. B. R.

T. specials at first tried to handle the crowd gently, but the situation gradually got beyond their control, and they laid violent hanG: on some of the rowdies who knocked down women and tried to climb through car windows. Several small fights when the Eas: Siders attempted to resist arrest threatened to develop into riots and quick, forceful action was necessary. By 2 o'clock this morning seven prisoners had been taken to the Coney Island police station. Notwithstanding that Inspector Flood had detailed eight policemen to the Sea Beach terminal station, most of the disorder was at that place, and all but one of the arrests were made there.

Seven men were brought before Magistrate Voorhees, in the Coney Island police court, this morning. All of them pleaded guilty, and after being severely lectured each of them was fined $5. All paid. and addresses: Edward East The prisoners gave the following, names Twenty-fifth street; Carlo Raika, 33 Elm street; Albert Ponchara, 564 Vanderbilt avenue; Peter Whiting, Keyport, N. Martin Chalmers, 572 Union street; Daniel Ford.

163 West One Hundred and Second street; John Bernstein, 22 West Twenty-second street. This list of prisoners seems remarkable, in view of the fact that it contains none of the ruffans who, according to the witnesses, caused most of the trouble. MINERS' STRIKE IMMINENT. Men at Cobalt Are Unwilling to Accept Scale Offered by Mine Owners. 2,000 Are Affected.

Cobalt, July 8-A general strike of miners is imminent. A meeting was held yesterday at which a majority of the men employed in the mines expressed themselves as unwilling to accept the schedule of wages drawn up by the companies. All the principal mining companies at Cobalt have signed the agreement to abide by the proposed wage scale and if the men reject it at a meeting to be held to-day, a strike will be declared and about 2,000 men will quit work. The grievances are principally over the wages paid the surface men and the length of the shifts of the underground miners. BROOKLYNITES IN PARIS.

July 8-The trial of James McCormick, charged with the murder of Edward Pullian, the Sodus night watchman, began in earnest this morning, when District Attorney Gilbert, of Wayne County, outlined the prosecution's case to the jury, the most striking phrase in his opening came near the close when he challenged: "We shall show that McCormick was in Sodus at 7 o'clock on the night of the murder and that he bought whisky in a saloon there; we shall also Show that a bottle of whisky was found in the cutter in Rochester."

Asserting that the concern would be damaged upward of $600,000 if compelled to stop by injunction a proceeding for which was started to-day in the Supreme Court before Justice Clark, the Peter Barrett Manufacturing Company, at Navy and Johnson streets, vigorously opposed and even a temporary stopping of their plant, deny that anything about it can be considered a nuisance. The action was begun by.

Francesco Di Brienza of 139 Navy street, and, through his attorney, James C. Danzilo, there was argument for a temporary injunction. Mr. Di Brienza claims that the defendants use soft coal and operate anvils other heavy chinery in such a way as to create a nuisance. Lawyer Washburn of Washburn Sickles represented the defendants and on argument and in the papers show that the concern, which manufactures wagons, operates exclusively with electricity furnished by an outside company.

The claim is made on behalf of the company that there can be no vibration and no soft coal smoke, because there is none coming from the defendant's premises. Recently there was an investigation, by the Board of Health. of. the defendant's place of business, the latter says, and a clean bill of health was given. Lawyer Washburn asserted that to stop the concern from carrying on its business, even temporarily, would cause a loss that might run beyond $600,000.

Justice Clark took the papers and reserved decision. WANT STANDARD OIL FEES. Chicago July 8-The Standard Oil Company which is facing a fine in the United States Court of a possible $29,000,000, was asked by Chicago Salvation Army lassies to give them the odd $1,200 in mileage fees earned by John D. Rockefeller and others, 80 that four hundred more babies of the tenement districts may get the fresh country air for a week. The company's magnates forgot all about this small matter of $1,200, and left it in the hands of the government.

John R. Miller, their attorney, told District Attorney Sims that thought his witnesses did not care about the $1.50 a day they earned and the $100 apiece in mileage and would not even claim it. Rockefeller returned to Cleveland Saturday night and left his $100 in the hands of Marshall Hoy; enough money to send forty babies to the country--perhaps save their lives in this hot weather. There were fourteen witnesses in all who came before the court. Each of them is entitled by a law to a fee of $1.50 and five cents a mile for every mile traveled, going and coming.

Roughly this amounts to a total of $1,200. It was this fund that the lassieg of the Salvation Army determined -should not lie idle. After. a hurried consultation among the officers of the organization last night, Mr. Rockefeller 4 at once and asked him they dispatched personal telegram to to direct his attorney to turn the money over to them.

They pledged themselves to give accounting and devote the money to the use of the poor.

TO SMOKE INDICTMENT Lawyer Ycemans Says the Company Is Not Violating the Law, NOR COMMITTING A CRIME.

Doing All in Its Power to Remedy the Escape of Smoke and Cinders, He Says. The Transit Development Company, indicted by the' June Grand Jury for the maintenance of nuisances in the operation of their power houses, one on Kent avenue, in the Eastern District, and the 'other on Third avenue, in South Brooklyn, entered a plea of not guilty, when the matter came up before Judge Dike In: Part I' of the County Court The case is expected to. come to trial a during the September term. The indictment charges the Transit Development Company with violating section 385 of the Penal 1 Code. For almost a year past the residents of the sections in which the power houses are located have been complaining of the of cinders, smoke and coal dust volume, has been belching forth dally from the tall power house chimneys.

The soot and cinders settled on the houses and with the smoke also, impregnated the air. The Board of Health was appealed to, but as no satisfactory results were obtained the residents brought the matter to the attention of District Attorney Clarke and he in turn to the Grand Jury. Lawyer George D. Yeomans, counsel for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit, handed in the plea of not guilty, which, according to law governing corporations, was a written document. Mo Mr.

Yeomans was seen later and asked the meaning of the plea of not guilty. "It means that we are going to fight the case," he replied. Then he added: "We are not violating the law, nor committing a crime. We are carrying on a legitimate business. The plea explains itself.

We are not guilty of what the Indictment charges. "Well, you are violating the law when anything you maintain works an injury on the property of your neighbor," was suggested. Mr. Yeomans was looking out the window of his office, on the fifth floor of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Building. His gaze took in a good part of the Heights.

"Well, I can see five stacks from where am sitting. The smoke comes out of those stacks, and so do the cinders, but I don't see that their owners are violating the law. The dust and cinders fall upon the surrounding property," he said. "The whole trouble is the word 'unlawful' contained in the indictment," interpolated Mr. Woody, legal associate to Mr.

Yeomans. "We claim that we are not guilty of 'unlawfully' doing anything." "As I said before," said Mr. Yeomans, "we are carrying on a legitimate business and, while we are doing all in our power to remedy the escape of the cinders, we are not violating the law. We have been trying several experimental methods to prevent the escape of the cinders or dust, and are still working on the matter. "No, it is not the quality of coal," he responded to a question.

"You will get cinders and dust and smoke from all coal. We' are using our power houses to their full capacity. Sometimes, if the Ares are too high, there will be a huge quantity of smoke when coal is applied. Other times there will be cinders. We are now trying to discover the proper method to overcome this.

Consequently, when we are making efforts to stop the escape of smoke and dust We are not violating the law. and we can only plead 'not POLICE FOUND DWYER'S AUTO. His Chauffeur Had Taken Party of Friends to Coney Island and Forgot Orders. The police of Manhattan and Brooklyn were kept on the jump all day yesterday and late into the night trying to locate the valuable automobile belonging to Frank Dwyer, the well-known horseman. Dwyer returned on Saturday from Mount Clements, to his home at 612 West One Hundred and Twelfth street, Manhattan, in his touring auto and ordered his chauffeur, Michael J.

Shanley, 26 years old, of 315 West Fiftyeighth street, to take the machine to the garage and have it at the house at 11 o'clock, yesterday morning. Neither Shanley or the machine could be found after several hours' waiting, and finally the police were notified and a general alarm sent out. The policemen of both boroughs kept a sharp lookout and finally Policeman Rutledge, of the Bridge squad, was rewarded. He was stationed at, the terminal of the bridge on the Brooklyn side when he caught sight of a large touring car approaching. He compelled the operator to stop, and found it contained several women and a man.

Close questioning resulted in the chauffeur admitting he was Shanley. He was taken into custody and the others let go. The police also held on to the machine and notified Dwyer. Shanley told the police that he had taken the party to Coney Island, and had forgotten the orders of his employe. He was taken to the Lee avenue court, but as there was no complaint he was released and he returned in the machine to Manhattan.

It is understood that Shanley is a brother of the well -known restaurant keeper. OBITUARY NOTES. Henry William Eadie died Friday at 138 Monroe street, the residence of his brother, Wilson G. H. Eadie.

ULTERIOR MOTIVE, PERHAPS. Anyhow, James Pentecost Is Under Arrest-Fine Discipline in the Public Institutions. After creating a good deal of excitement among the fremen and other city employes on Blackwell's Island to-day by sending in a false alarm of Are in the its Metropolitan Hospital, with thousand patients, a young man who said his name was James Pentecost, 20 years of age, of 1080 Herkimer street, was arby a policeman sent to the island Captain Cooney of the East Sixty-seventh street station.

He was charged with sending in a false alarm of fire and falsely representing himself to be an inspector in the Fire Alarm Bureau of Department. he was employe of TelegraPh. then the "Maintenance Company," meaning, perhaps, as it was afterwards thought, that he wanted to have it understood that he was connected with the Maintenance Department of the Telephone Company. With the sounding of the automatic alarm for fire in the big institution, Dr. George T.

Stewart, superintendent of the hospital, ordered a careful search made for the supposed fire, and every orderly and nurse ran to quarters. Engine 49, with the truck stationed on the island, made a a dash for the hospital from their quarters at the lower end. By quick work on the part of the hospital authorities and the fire organization of the employes for the Are drill, all excitement among the patients was quickly dispelled and no disorder discovered. According to the first report to the Manhattan side at Bellevue Hospital, Pentecost had been fixing wire on the switchboard when he accidentally sounded the automatic alarm. Captain Joseph Sherick of the fire company reported to Fire Hall, that he had found Pentecost up on the pole to which the signal box was attached, the bell inside ringing 80 that the supposed inspector could not stop it.

He said that Robert Smith, in charge of the stables where the Fire Department horses are quartered on the Island, reported to him that Pentecost had come to him and told him that he was an inspector of the Fire Alarm Telegraph and that he was there to make an inspection. Pentecost, said Smith, asked to be directed to the nearest signal box from the Are quarters and further asked for the key to it Pentecost was promptly held as a guspicious person on the two charges of sending in a false alarm and fraudulently representing himself' to be connected with the Fire Department Telegraph. He denied both charges and said that his mission was bona fide. Acting Battalion Chief Charles Schwinbersky said he believed that there must have been an ulterior purpose in Pentecost's presence on the Island and that a 'rigid investigation would be made to discover how he got there, and what was the real purpose. The police even went so far as to say that there might been a plot to accomplish a jail delivery de from the workhouse and penitentiary.

SON CONFESSED THEFT. Young Man Admitted That He Took His Father's Savings and Played the Races. A father appeared against his own son this morning and charged the young man, Frank Carow, 25 years old, of 893 Eightstreet, with stealing sum of centh, from him. Charles Carow, the father, was saving his money until he should have $100 which he then intended to deposit in the bank. He placed the money in a bank book and put it in the cellar between some rafters with A brick on top of it.

July 5 Carow went to the cellar to add $5 to the amount he already had, and to his dismay found the original $85 missing. The police were notifled and Officer Thomas Lynch of the Eighth Inspection District was put on the case. In the presence of the offer Frank Carow confessed the theft to his father after Lynch had put him through the third degree. The man took the money on the morning of the Fourth and went to play the races. Instead of returning with twice the amount of money he started out with, as he had fondly dreamed would be the case, Carow lost everything and tore up the bank, book.

Magistrate Geismar held him in $1,500 bail for the Grand Jury. A JAMAICA SUSPECT. Young Painter Is Arrested in Connection With the Killing of Christopher Brase. Suspecting him of being connected with the murder of Christopher Brase, the Jamaica farmer, near Richmond HIll, a few days ago, Detective George F. Ringe on Saturday night arrested William Weigel, 21 years old, of James street, Jamaica, and took him to the Eighty-third precinct station house.

When arraigned before Magistrate Healy at Far Rockaway yesterday, Weigel was held until the 19th in order to give the police an opportunity to get more evidence against him. He cannot fully account for his movements on the night of the murder, although he claims he can establish an alibi. When arrested a revolver was found on him, but he claimed it was the property of another person. Weigel is a cigarette fiend and seems to be in poor health. "he a painter by trade and unmarried.

There was but one pickpocket arrested in the borough yesterday, a fact. which would seem to show that the activity of the headquarters detectives in the past few weeks has had the effect of scaring the dips away.

The arrest yesterday was made by Detective Lieutenants Brady and McClosky of the headquarters bureau and the prisoner was a young one; old enough, though, to have his picture in the rogues gallery on the occasion of a former capture. He was Morris Keplan, who is 18 and who lives on Hopkinson avenue. The detectives had been following him about for nearly an hour on Coney Island last and finally got him in the act of opening a handbag carried by a young woman, who gave her name as Miss Sidell. She was standing in front of Dreamland, with a wrap aver her arm and her handbag swinging by a chain from her wrist. Keplan was deftly dipping into it when Brady grabbed his hand, and the lad had not had time to extract anything.

Miss Sidell said that she did not want to make a complaint or lose any time by going to court, and so the detectives made the complaint themselves in the Adams street court. The prisoner was held in default of $500 bail for later hearing by Magistrate Dooley, MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS.

Not a Fact in It. Officials at the Brooklyn Navy Yard were much amused this morning at the report in a Manhattan paper alleged to have been made by a "cadet" had deserted from the yard, and who is supposed to have been arrested in Chicago, to the effect that "the Brooklyn Navy Yard is the worst place in the world; that there is no discipline, and that almost every night the yards present a scene of drunken revelry." The fact that the report in question followed the announcement that the man was a deserter, with the information that his release had been ordered by the naval officials, was another interesting bit of information for the offers, inasmuch as they had never heard of the individual, and that there is such A thing as "cadets" at the Navy Yard here is news to them. An official stated that there was no cause for comment upon the charges made by the alleged deserter, for the reason that there were not and had never been cadets at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and the man who is reported to have made these forceful statements as to the prevalence of dissipation and lack of dis3 cipline must have gained his knowledge through some means other than personal experience. In fact, it is thought more than probable that the man had been afflicted with a nightmare or was of unsound mind-that is, if the statements were made, if the man was arrested and if there was any basis at all -for the publication of the report.

NEW POLICE CAPTAINS AND A FEW TRANSFERS Changes in the Situation That Are Looked for Before the Week Ends. SHAW WANTS ADAMS STREET. Toole Yearns for Butler Street -Both May Be Accommodated--Long Distance Oddities.

There is a strong probability that two new police captains will be by Commissioner Bingham this week, and that the vacancies which at present exist in the Butler street and Adams street stations will be filled. At present Lieutenant John McCormack is in command in the Adams street district, and th: precinct is not suffering a great deal, for McCormack is a man of experience and he knows the precinct from end to end. But Captain William Shaw is most anxious to get back to Brooklyn, and it is not at all unlikely that when he does return he will be put in charge of the Adams street district. He was in Adams street before, and did good work in cleaning up the Hudson avenue district. Just now he is in the East Fifth street precinct in Manhattan, and he is doing mighty good work there.

But he yearns for a Brooklyn billet, and he has influence, and there is a chance for him to return to the district which he left. Another of the Brooklyn captains who is looking with soulful eyes across the Bridge is Edward Toole, in charge of the Oak street station in Manhattan. Toole has been sent around because of his notable ability to take charge of rough places and do good police work always. He was born and raised in the old Sixth Ward of Brooklyn, and nothing would suit him better than to be placed in charge of the Butler street precinct, which is without a captain since the retirement of Robert Tighe. He was there once, in the days of long ago, when he was dislodged because of the exigencies of rearrangement.

Captain Dooley, the Irrepressible, had been in command of Bedford avenue station, cleaning out the betting shop which was said to have been run by one of the Reardons. But Dooley was wanted at Coney Island, and the Deputy Commissioner then in charge of the police in Brooklyn, Major Ebstein, wanted a good man to follow Dooley in the Eastern District precinct, and there was no better than Toole, and so he was taken from his pleasant quarters in Butler street and was sent to the Eastern District. Since then he has led the life of a "bloomin' nomad," as one of his cultured friends expressed it the other day. From Bedford avenue he landed in Flushing avenue, and recently he has been in Oak street. He wants to get home again, and maybe, now that there is the chance, he will be transferred to the Butler street district.

There are ten Brooklyn captains and one from Queens at present serving in Manhattan the Bronx, and there are twelve Manhattan and Bronx men serving in Brooklyn and Queens. There may be a shakeup ere long, which will even things up, and send the men who are in boroughs other than their home districts to some place nearer their residences. The policy of the police management since consolidations has so mix the men in Queens and Manhattan that the force would be considered more homogeneous, cutting out county boundaries and county prejudices. The result has been that the police pudding has been so thoroughly mixed that men from Brooklyn have been sent to the Bronx and men from the Bronx have been sent to Brooklyn. The case of Captain Denis Ward of the Flatbush precinct is one in point.

Ward letters to his family now and he can almost throw a stone into Conhome. His abode is naturally with his keeps an anxious eye on the mails from family, in Wakefield, in the Bronx. There necticut. But his business is in Flatbush, for he has the Flatbush precinct. with Bergen Beach and other important centers of summer traffic to look out for.

And while his folks are in Wakefield he is most of the time in Flatbush. When he does get home there is a family reunion that is noted by his neighbors, and when he goes away from home the farewells are most pathetic and strips of postage stampe are purchased. Once in a while he gets a picture postal card from the old home, just to remind him that it is still there. Then there is Captain Kreuscher, who has a fine home at Far Rockaway and a police billet at One Hundred and Fifty street and Amsterdam avenue. Just how long it takes Captain Kreuscher to get from One Hundred and Fifty-second street and Amsterdam avenue to Far Rockaway has not been figured out.

He could tell, approximately, within an hour or two, but he does not like to take chances with the truth and his friends continue to guess. This is another case where the mail is a blessing. for Kreuscher writes, and so do the folks at home. It is possible that in the changes that are to come some of the long jumps will be shortened. Captain Bernard Gallagher Is one of the sufferers.

He used to be in charge of the Adams street station. His home is at Sheepshead Bay, and he is on duty in West Brighton, Staten Island, Gallagher hag been trying for ever SO long to get somewhere nearer home, and now his time may come. to Deputy Commissioner 0'Keeffe intimated that there would be some changes 300n. Acting Captain MeCauley of the local detective bueau, who is second on the eligible list for promotion, may be made a captain with the next bunch of promotions. PRATT GRADUATE'S WORK.
