According to this woman, the man's wife and child have been in Westwood, IN. for a short while and have not up Fill the present time returned home. No reason can be given for his self-destruction. The witnesses in the case are Mrs. Michels and Mrs.

BOYS HAD GAS FIXTURES.

Detectives Mooney and Boylan, attached to the Greenpoint avenue station, yesterday stopped two boys who were carrying bag which was found to contain brass gas fixtures. The boys gave their names as George Powers, 16 years old, of 65 Meserole avenue, and James 17 Moriarty, years old, of 63 Java street. Later, Clarence G. Miller of 90 Milton street reported to the police that his dwelling had been entered and the gas fixtures removed. He identified the fixtures found in possession of boys.

Edward Webber, 15 years old, of No. 368 Baltic street, fell from a bicycle last night which he had been riding, and concussion of the and inceived teranl injuries, removed the Ho Long Island College Hospital by Surgeon Progebin, A DIVORCE DEFENDANT SLUGS BROTHER-IN-LAW Bresnahan Saw Wife With Hartman at the Big Calder Picnic at Dreamland. HARTMAN EASES UP ON HIM.

Why? Well, Alimony Couldn't Be Paid if Bresuahan Were Kept in Prison Cell. It was a sad day for George Bresnahau, a compositor in one of the Manhattan dailies, when Congressman Calder of the Sixth Congressional District decided take a lot of his 80,000 to constituents Dreamland, and to-day the compositor is sore at heart. He was arrested last night at the big park on complaint of his brother-in-law. Ferdinand Hartman, who has a picture frame business and lives at 108 Rockwell place, in this borough. Bresnahan was charged with assault, and this morning he was arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees in the Coney Island Court to answer the charge.

He pleaded guilty, but the complainant asked permission to and did withdraw the charge, substituting one of disorderly conduct. To the new charge the accused pleaded guilty and was ordered to furnish a bond of $100 to keep the peace for six months. The bond was furnished. From the story told to one of the assistant clerks in the court. Bresnahan has had trouble with his wife, and when he saw her with Hartman last night at the congressional outing he became angry and struck his brother-in-law.

Hartman is captain of the fifth election district of the Tenth Assembly District, which forms a part of the Sixth Congressional District. He purchased some tickets for the outing, and yesterday evening he took his wife and Mrs. Bresnahan, who are sisters, to the beach, Hartman said he was showing the women about the park when he was accosted by brother-in-law, and before he knew what was coming he was struck in the face. He quickly recovered, however, and seeing his wife and her sister to a place of safety, went out in search of a policeman. He found one and promptly caused Bresnahan's arrest.

The picnickers were very much interested when they heard of the affair and many hustled about to learn what caused the row. According to Bresnahan, he is a party to a divorce suit in which his wife figures, of course, and for some time, he said, Mrs. Bresnahan has been making her home at the Hartman address. He declared he had heard many stories coupling his wife's name with that of her brother-in-law. and when he saw Hartman with Mrs.

Bresnahan yesterday he lost his temper and forgot himself for the moment. Then the assault was committed and he found himself a prisoner at the West Eighth street station house on complaint of the brother-in-law. One of the court clerks said to-day that Hartman had decided to be lenient with Bresnahan because he realized that if the compositor was sent to jail he would not be in a position to contribute to his wife's support pending the result of the suit. Both Mrs. Hartman and Mrs.

Bresnahan were in court to-day, arriving with Hartman before the court was open. Bresnahan gave his address as 668 Driggs avenue, this borough. His father is a well known compositor, having been employed on the same paper that his son for twenty-five years. The accused has been in the employ of the paper for fifteen years. S.

S. GHAZEE'S QUEER CARGO. A Japanese Goose, Chinese Bull, BlueEgg Chickens and Desert Snakes Brought From Singapore. There arrived this morning on the British steamship Ghazee, from Singapore, the strangest lot of animals of the Far East that ever landed in South Brooklyn. There was a Japanese goose that looked like a cross between a heron and a chicken; a wild Chinese bull, about as big as a Newfoundland dog; chickens that laid blue eggs throughout the long voyage of 30,000 miles, and several snakes of the sand variety who have the habit of burrowing under the sands of the Eastern deserts and repose there for their siestas.

'Monkey Sam," "Snakey Joe' and Sonn, the dog man, all animal fanciers, were among the first to arrive to see what they could gather up for disposal to the zoological gardens of the country. It was a busy day for the curious and the hunters after the queer in animal life. The Ghazee had forty-seven days of absolute drought--as far as rain was concerned. She had terrific monsoons in the Indian Ocean and a bad gale in the Meditterranean; but it was all wind, and no precipitation from the heavens occurred until the freighter neared the American shores. Then the officers and crew walked about the deck barefoot and in their thin Oriental suits.

so as to catch all the benefit of the downpour. LIVE COAL STARTED FIRE. Proximity of Standard Oil Tanks Caused Three Alarms. A live coal started a fire at the foot of North Eleventh street late last night and caused a lot of excitement, resulting in three alarms being turned in. The flames broke out in a small building used as an engine room by Bartlett, Heyward engineers and contractors, who are engaged in erecting and rebuilding the large gas tanks for the Brooklyn Union Gas Company.

Directly opposite was the oil tanks of the Standard Oil Company, and owing to this fact two additional alarms were turned in as a precaution. The fire, however. was quickly extinguished with a damage of about $200. TUMBLED FROM PLATFORM. Dominic Gherson, 22 years old, of 2334 First avenue, and Week Sleffort, 21 years old, of 517 West Forty-second street, Manhattan, iron workers, fell from a platform at North Eleventh street and Kent avenue, a distance of twenty-five feet, yesterday afternoon, and narrowly escaped being killed.

G. H. SMITH DEAD FROM BLOOD POISONING Infection During Operation Fatal to Well-Known Physician. HIS REMARKABLE CAREER. Poor Folk His Especial Care-A Son, Dr.

G. H. Smith, Survives Him, Dr. George H. Smith, one of the most widely known homeopathic practitioners of Kings County, died yesterday at noon at his residence, 931 Reid avenue, corner of Greene, It was stated after his death that the cause of it was blood poisoning following the bite of a mosquito, but it was learned that, although blood poisoning caused his death, It was brought about through infection while performing an operation.

Dr. Smith held his hand in antiseptic fluid for many hours after he discovered that blood poisoning had set in, but he had no idea of a fatal result until yesterday morning when he said to friends that he believed the end had come. He passed away peacefully, Dr. Smith has had a remarkable career. He was known far and wide among the residents of the uptown districts and his George H.

Smith, M.D. office in a fine house adjoining his restdence was filled with patients at all the special hours. Out of office hours his carriage could be seen going about the streets attending to what at times was an almost overwhelming practice, but which in recent years has been relieved by his son, George H. Smith, who is now one of the prominent uptown practitioners. Dr.

Smith was born on farm in the little town of Milton, Ulster County, N. on November 12, 1843, and with no help but that of his two hands and a determined will came to New York to undertake the study of medicine. He began to earn his living as a street car conductor and studied as opportunity offered. In 1869 he was graduated from the Homeopathic Medical College of New York and shortly after began practice in Brooklyn. For over thirty-eight years he had continued it here.

Being a man of very larrge physical capacity, Dr. Smith was enabled to perform an astonishing amount of work. For an average of sixteen hours a day every day in the year, with vacations few and brief, he wrought up to within a few days of his death. In recent years he was urged by his moore intimate friends to slacken his pace. His success had made him affluent and he did not need the money reward.

To such friends his reply was always the same: "I'd die if I stopped work. Vacations are a burden to me. Besides, my many patients are my friends. I could not sit idle were any of them ill and calling for my services." He was one of those physicians who have a very large number of worthy poor on their lists who cannot pay much or anything for their treatment. To the last it was Dr.

Smith's delight to serve such. His charities, though unostentatious, were manifold. For many years he was an officer and a consistent member of the Greene Avenue Baptist Church, but his piety was of a kind that held in highest regard every institution for public betterment. Catholic, Jew and testant alike received freely of his means. Dr.

Smith was at the time of his death a member of the Masonic Veteran Association, of Purity Lodge of Oddfellows. of United States Lodge Knights of Honor and Burnside Council of the Royal Arcanum. He was also member the Union League Club and a director of the Lafayette Trust Company. He will be gratefully remembered by the thousands of depositors of the latter institution as one of that group of directors who heroically gave of their time and money to lift it out of the troubles of the recent panic and start it again upon its successful career. The funeral services will be held at the Greene Avenue Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

It is expected that the pastor, th- Rev. Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, will officiate. Dr. Smith leaves a widow, three daughters and two sons.

NEW CENTRAL TRADE BOARD. Allied Civic Association Doesn't Do Woodhaven Much Good, It Was Stated at Meeting. Because the boards of trade in the western section of Queens Borough, including Woodhaven, Ozone Park and Union Course, felt that the Allied Civic Association of the Fourth Ward, which meets in Jamaica, is doing them no good, eight of the organizations in that section are planning the formation of an alliance of their own and their withdrawal from the Allied Civics Association. The plans for the alliance were talked of last night at the regular meeting of the Woodhaven Board of Trade, when a letter was read from the Ozone Park Board of Trade in which the Woodhaven board's assistance was asked in the formation of the West End Federation. The Woodhaven board appointed a committee to attend the next meeting of the Ozone Park body and decide upon a definite course of action.

The proposed new organization, it was said last night, will not interfere in any way with the separate organizations, but is to supplement their work with the advantages of co-operation. The alliance proposes purchasing property in some central location and erecting a building which will contain meeting rooms, offices and an assembly hall. HAS RELIGIOUS MANIA. Eva Hagerman, 38 'years old, who lives alone in a flat at 552 West One Hundred and Fifty-first street, Manhattan, was seized with a religious mania this morning and became so violent that the janitor was compelled to call in Policeman Horn, who sent her to the Washington Heights Hospital in charge of Dr. Leiner.

The woman came here from San Francisco recently, DETECTIVE'S PRISONER HAD KNIFE IN SLEEVE It Was Grabbed Away From Him Just as It Appeared Ready for Use. ARMED WITH A PISTOL, TOO. Slashing of a Handsome Italian Girl Leads to a Number of Complications. Dominico Mongello, 25 years old, of 285 East Twelfth street, Manhattan, was prisoner in the Adams street court this a morning, charged with carrying concealed weapons, and also with having attempted to stab Detective Frank Lisante of the Italian squad, at local headquarters. He had knife and a revolver with him when caught, the knife, sharpened to a fine point, up his sleeve and the revolver in his pocket, loaded with powder and ball.

Antonio Picciotti, also 25, of 193 Mulberry street, who was arrested at the same time as Mongello, had a revolver, too under his coat, an old-fashioned percussion cap weapon, with six chambers chock full of powder and bird-shot. not at all usual for an Italian desperado to try to get even with an Italian detective, for the men who do dark deeds usually fear the Italian policemen. Lisante was not a bit apprehensive of his prisoner, and the discovery that the point of a dagger was traveling in the direction of his abdomen was made by accident. He acted promptly, and the prisoner is probably exceedingly sorry now and sically sore. Lisante, with Detectives Crowley and Ross, also of the Italian squad, had been looking for Antonio Picciotti, who had been indicted in this county for stabbing Maria Siniscalco, also known as Maria the Tambourine Girl.

That happened at 97 Jackson street, in May last. Maria had left her home because her husband, Emilio Siniscalco, she had declared, had tried to force her to lead an immoral life. She is a very pretty young woman, and before her marriage to Siniscalso had made a living by going about with another girl, playing a barrel organ and a tambourine. time ago Siniscalco's brother was murdered, it was said, by a man named Gascone. Gascone was tried and death chamber sentence.

But powvicted, and founder time stayed in the erful persons interested themselves in his case and there was a retrial and a disagreement. Maria the Tambourine Girl got into trouble with the Italians over the case because she was a witness for the prosecution and because, it was also said she had been employed as a detective by District Attorney Jerome. She came to Brooklyn after a while, and lived on Jackson street, in the Eastern Dis- trict. It was while there that her beauty was spoiled by a man, said to be Picciotti, who slashed her cheeks with a sharp knife. While Picciotti was running away, Eugenio Napolitano held a revolver at Maria's head, so that she would not follow her assailant or give an alarm.

Now Napolitano is in jail, awaiting trial on a charge of having attempted to feloniously assault Maria. Lieutenant Vachris' detectives have been looking for Picciotti last ever since May and they did not find him until last night. The man had been in the country for about nine months, and it is said there is a term of imprisonment staring him in the face if ever returns to Italy. So he had been keeping out of the way of the authorities with much success. Lisante, Ross and Crowley ran across Picciotti and Mongello in Chatham Square at about 10 o'clock last night and they arrested both of them, walking them to the bridge and taking them on a Smith street car to State street.

where local headquarters is. At the corner of State and Smith streets is a furniture store, but at 10 o'clock all the brilliant electric lights are out and the shadows are deep. Lisante was ahead. with his prisoner, gripping him by the right arm with his left. He noticed that the man's left hand was active in some way, but he did not know that the prisoner was stealthily moving a big-bladed knife down his coat sleeve.

There was just a momentary glint of steel as the hand traveled to Lisante's abdomen, and then the detective caught the hand and gave it a twist. The knife was in the hand, sure enough, and a second later it is believed it would have been buried in Mr. Lisante. Any politeness that Lisante had been showing to the man disappeared at once, and it was with scant ceremony that the prisoner was thrown by the neck into headquarters. The knife was taken away and 60 was the revolver which was found in his pocket.

But there had been a short and sharp fight between the prisoner and the lithe young detective, and there was very little fight left in Mongello when he was finally landed in the lockup. Picciotti was taken into the County Court for arraignment on the indictment and Mongello was held by Magistrate Tighe in the Adams street court for fur: ther hearing. BEQUEATHS $16,000.

Friends of Joseph Cassidy attempted to turn the annual dinner of the South Side Dealers' Association of Queens Borough, held at Elm Grove, Ridgewood Heights, on Wednesday night, into a Cassidy ratification meeting, but when County Clerk Niederstein was a attacked by a Cassidy adherent, while he was making a speech, the members of association rallied to the support of the county clerk, and the meeting was turned into a ratification of Borough President Gresser and County Chairman Harvey. Hundreds of women attended the dinner, and all were badly frightened by the injection of politics into the affair.

Among the guests were President Gresser, of Queens, Magistrate Matthew J. Smith, County Clerk Niederstein, Building intendent Carl Berger and a number, of policemen from the Glendale precinct. Former Borough President Cassidy was present during the early part of the evening, but he left before the dinner. County Clerk Niederstein spoke both in English and German. He had not preceeded far in his German speech before he was interrupted by Edward Howard, an ardent Cassidyite, who holds position under State Engineer Skene, and who objected to the county clerk's speech being made in German.

Mr. Neiderstein invited Howard to join him on the platform in a joint debate in English, but the latter did not accept. Up to that time County Clerk Niederstein had not mentioned politics, but after the Howard interruption he made a hot political speech, defending President Gresser and County Leader Harvey and their principles. At the conclusion of the speech Howard tried to get a hearing, but he was prevented from speaking by a storm of hisses and protests. President Gresser, who had come in during the speechmaking, called upon for an address, but he simply thanked the hotelmen for their kind greetings.

Magistrate Smith also spoke, concluding with a request for the support of Joseph Cassidy at the primary fight. MAY DIE FROM FALL.

21-7 JOLLY ORPHAN SISTERS ROW OVER BOARD BILL DIED. Miss Agnes Summoned Mrs. Elizabeth to Court for Holding Dresses. BOTH IN LAUGHING MOOD. Aggie Gets Her Teddy Bear, but None Except Needful Gowns-Part of Estate Tied Up.

Agnes Thomas, who resides with her aunt, Mrs. Leahy, at 31 Pilling street, accused her sister, Elizabeth Goetz, of 83 Lott street, in the Flatbush court this morning of keeping all her lovely dresses. Elizabeth refuses to part with them until she obtains $37.50 from Agnes for three months board. The two young women argued the points that have divided them in court this morning. They had a war of words that started in the court yard and was kept up in every room of the court, except he magisrat's private room.

They are orphans, thrown upon their own resources and the aid of relatives. It appears that some time ago the girls' father met with a fatal accident OD a B. R. T. car.

The girls were awarded a large sum as a result of a suit. The older girl, Elizabeth, received hers and used considerable of it. Agnes is not in full possession of hers, yet. She is not old enough to receive it. The Title Guarantee Company has charge of it and her aunt was made her.

guardian. Therefore Agnes is relatively wealthy in her own name. She is an independent, vivacious girl, and jolly. Elizabeth, if anything, is even more lively than Agnes. Even when quarreling with Agnes to-day she laughed at her younger sister when she made charges against her, whereas another girl would become indignant.

For three months Agnes enjoyed her home with Elizabeth, who lived happily with her devoted husband. The trio got along seemingly well together for a short while, but then the two girls became involved over matters pertaining to a settlement of a board bill. Agnes said she pay Elizabeth at a later date, but the latter knew Agnes' money was tied up. So last week, after a stormy scene between them, Agnes was informed she would have to pay up, or take the conse-, quences. Instead of giving the $37.50 for board, the younger sister went to live with her aunt.

She had no clothes beyond those she was wearing, so she went to her former home for her clothes. Elizabeth rebelled, so Agnes went to the Flatbush court and summoned her sister before Magistrate Steers. "She will not only refuse my clothes, but she has my Teddy bear that a man gave to me," said Agnes, to-day. "He did not; he me one and the other was for my Elizabeth. "For your husband?" inquired the magistrate.

"That's not very fair. You can give your husband's to your sister." "Then I want my cups, too," said Agnes, and Elizabeth was ordered to give those up. She was told, however, that she could not have her clothes, except what was absolutely necessary, until she paid her board. This mandate made Agnes cry. "I will look terrible without my nice clothes.

I have no money, except that in the bank, and I can't touch that. What will people think of me in this one suit? Oh, this is a terrible blow," she said. "But," she added, as she went home, "I have my Teddy bear. That's something." "She's a game girl, all right," exclaimed Elizabeth, in admiration. ROOSEVELT LEAGUE MEETS.
