Silks Notions SAD AND SUDDEN. 'p 1 Death of Mr. Edward Guonther on 5 tho Steamer PearL When the stearrier Pearl returned from Crystal Beach at 17:30 o'clock last night, it brought the dead body of Mrs. Edward Guentbet of No- 391 Northampton Street. She died at 6:40 o'clock 10 minutes after the boat left Crystal Beach.

Yesterday afterqoon Mrs. Guenther took her two-Vear-old boy for a trip over to Crystal Beach. She had not been feeling well for a day otj so, and thought that a trip on the water would do her good. She enjoyed the shortj stay at the beach and boarded the boat at 6 o'clock, apparently feeling well. But before the boat had fairly gotten under way, she complained of feeling ill.

She left her child on the deck nd went to the cabin. She had been there but a moment when she died. Dr. Wij G. Bissell, who was on the boat, was called, but the woman died before he could do anything, for her.

A small vial was found near ber, and this caused a rumor that perhaps she had committed suicide. The vial was empty and appeared to have been carelessly case aside. Dr. Bissell could, find no remains of poison Ini it, and thought that shejiad had penrttrment or some other light fluid in it. The vial was kept, however, for the When the boat swached the Buffalo dock Coroner Tucker was summoned.

Dr. Fell happened to be near, and he examined the dead woman, giving as his opinion that she had died from heart disease. Thus far the knowledge of the denth bad been kept from the child. Detective Sullivan, who was at the dock, took tho wee one in his arms, intending to take it to Police Headquarters where it could be placed in charge of Matron Church. He had proceeded biit a short way when he was met bv a mrtn who asked him in frightened tones: "Where are you going with that boy?" "Up the street, I why "Whereabouts up the street?" "Oh.

just a little way." "Whv. that's my child." that so?" "Yes: Where's its mctritr?" "On the boat." "What's the matter with her?" "Whyah she's hurt." stammered tbe detective! how?" returned the man, as he tore the babv from the detective's arms. And then the sad news was told to him. Mr. Guenther is a bicycle repairer on Northampton Street.

He has a factory there. He was on his way to meet his wifo as sho came off the boat when he met the detective who had his child in his arms. By his instruction the body was removed to the fnniily home. lie scorned the idea that his wife had taken her own life, savihjr that her life was the happiest. She had been unwell for a long time and suffered keenly from heart trouble at times.

Mrs. Guenther was but 23 years old. Police Court Cases. For stealing fl satchel from the Troqnois Hotel, WtPisim Flnnegan. was required to pay a fine of $50.

Depew is to have another big plant forthwith. That jeems certain. The utmost; secrecy is being observed concerning the subject, and no authoritative statement could be obtained yesterday, but a good many facts are known.

Plans are just now in the hands of contractors for -a big plant there. This is certainly true, unless it be that the contractors have completed their computations and submitted their bids. One of them, at least, is said to have done so. The; contractors who have figured on the plans placed in their hands are few in number. While it is not distinctly a New York Central enterprise, it is such in large measure, as the New York Central people are heavily interested.

Contractor -W. R. Haven is one of those who know what is going on, and as be has done a large amount of work for the big corporation and pleased the biggest, men among them in his work of building the original shops at Depew, it may be set down that his chance Is good of securing the contract.

It -was stated in another quarter that the proposed plnnt would occupy a frontage of three quarters of a mile along the Central i road. One man declared that tbe plant would be situated on the north side of the Central, west of tbe Transit Road. A i meeting of the Depew Improvement Company was held at the office of Henry W.

Box yesterday. The meeting was an important one, as may le Inferred from the refusal of thost- present to divulge what; was done. Mr. Spoor of Chicago was among those present. Mr.

People who were In the Ticinity of the Lewis Block, at the corner of Washington and Swan streets, last night about 10 o'clock, were startled to hear a loud report which sounded heavy enough to hare been caused bir dynamite explosion;" The-watchman, with a very white face, immediately ran up stairs to locate the disturbance, and he was followed by one or two of the more daring pedestrians. The investigation, however, was brief.

The watchman soon, returned with the news that the explosion was merely a part of the initiatory ceremonies of the Royal Arcanum lodge. I sat in one of the seats in Lafayette Park the other night enjoying the flavor of Key Wtit cigar. It wa. late. I was on my way home from work and thought that I would linger a few minutes in the park to get-the benefit of a cool breeze that seemed to give that particular spot a preference.

After I had been seated a few minutes," a tramp came along and took a seat beside me. He remained silent a little while, then looked around suddenly and said: "Didn't know I'a a playwright, did you?" "No, I didnt." "Well, I be." "Is that so?" -Yes'n I've j'es written a play that knocks Sardou's 'Sana Gene' cold." "Anyone using it?" "No, not yet, but one o' do managers In New York City 's holler'n fer it. I got it right here in my pocket now." "Why don't you send it to the person who wants it?" "Well say, partner, to be truthful -with you; I aint got de price fer de stamps. Hard luck, aint itr Of course I gave him a dime. Who wouldn't? THE WEATHER, Edward Lewenlcht lying the Fitch Hospital last night with a long gash in the right side of his It had ser-ered the internal Jugular vein and several mall blood-vessels, and was expected to cause his death at any hour.

It was Inflicted by John Schoen, I with a pocket-knife. Lewenieht'a brother Henry was at the Fitch also, to be treated for a bad cut near rib. He was not dangerously injured. Ills wound was inflicted with the same knife, in the same hand, Schoen is a carpenter and lives with his wife and one child at No. 102 Johnson He is a medium sized man, and is regarded as ordinarily peaceable.

He was out for a ride on bis wheel last night with Fred' Fleischaeur of No, 380 $her-msn Street. The two made a trip on several of the East Side asphalt streets, and at 0:30 o'clock sped down Genesee Street. tbey reached the grossing of Kane Street, three mefa ran into the street. They were Edward and Henry Lewenicht and another person who was: no acquaintance of the brothers, and whom tbey do; not know. Edward ran against Schoen, i and as a result of the collision the wheelman was thrown to the pavement.

Edward was downed also, and when the two recovered it was in a deadly embrace. Schoen regarded the interference as wilful, and evidently was. greatly enraged. The two struggled a moment? before the others realised the situation. Like gladiators they battled, one bent on revenge, and the other governed by a desire i to break away from the clutches of his antagonist.

Suddenly Edward released bis hold on Schoen, and with a groan and a gasp sank to the pavement. Blood spurted over bis shirt front, and flowed in a stream to the curb. He tried to speak to bis brother, but was unable to do so. A crowd gathered atlthe spot, and owing to this and to the dim light that was shed on the scene, Henry did not notice the terrible culmination of the encounter. When he of it, he dashed at the perpetrator who surveyed the scene with apparent nonchalance.

Another contest ensued. Schoen was maddened, and when Henry grappled with him. he plunged the blade that dripped the blood of his first victim, into llenry. It was aimed above the abdomen on the right side. Henry fell back from his opponent, but immediately recovered and gave chase to Schoen who was retreating slowly from the scene.

When they bad gone about half a block Henry saw Tatrolman Bis-ker of the Fourth Precinct and shouted to him to arrest Shoen. The patrolman did so, and took him to No. police station VheVe" be Was Charged 'assault in the first degree. Fleischneur," who was with him when he was upset from his wheel, disappeared. When Henry saw the arrest of the man who had cut him and his brother, he fell to 'the street exhausted.

The Fitch? ambulance was sent for on a fast call, the wounded men were taken to the hospital. It eeems that the crowd, that collected allowed the tragedy to continue without molestation. At least people were assembled before the fight terminated. The stories told by the men differ widely. The Lewenicht brothers declare that they were going to the street to hail a car, when one of them, Edward, accidentally intercepted Schoen, who vfas coming down the street on his wheel.

Then, Henry says, Edward got up to explain to Schoen, whereupon the latter "directed a vile epithet, at him and struck at him with his fist. Then a scuffle epsued, during which Edward was stabbed. The: remainder of the tragedy as told by Edward is substantially as follows: Someone told Henry that his brother was stabbed, and Henry was bent; on seeing that he didn't escape. When he seized him, the knife was brought ihto play a second time, and Henry received a gash. Schoens story is to this effect: He and his friend were coming down1 the street when three men ran out at Kane Street, one of the wilfully tipping him from 'his wheel.

He remounted and started to ride away, when the same man pushed him from his wheel again. He arose, and while meditating whether or not to resent the action, another one of the trio beat him over the head with a bass; horn. He then decided to protect himself and drew his knife. In the scuffle both of the brothers were cut. The Lewenichts live at No.

492 Genesee Street, which is two doors from the corner of Kane Street Edward is a painter, 32 years old. and Henry is a musician; 28 years old. Henry was bis way to join an orchestra, and had his horn with him. His brother was to accompany him. Both are regarded -as well-behaved young men.

No old quarrel or feud prompted the action, a the opposing men were entire trangers. Alt the hospital Edward was unconscious and could make no statement. It wasx-pected, however, that he would rally during the night, when a coroner would be called. The New Police Boat.
