Jacob Maul, a porter, of 8M Pleasant avenue, took his big black Newfoundland dog to the East Klver at the foot of East One Hundred and Seventeenth street for a bath this afternoon. He led the dog by a chain. On reaching the end of the pier the dog frisked about, and suddenly sprang nlto the river, dragging Maul after him.

The dog broke away and began dls-porting In the water. Mean-while Maul cried lustily for help and floundered about In the river. Two boys on the pier shouted for help, and Louis Elgin, a young plumber, ot H6 East One Hundred and S-venteenth street, who was working close by, Jumped Into the river to rescue Maul. Maul threw his arm around Elgin neck, rendering It Impossible for him to aid Maul or support himself. Elgin, Maul and the boys on the pier shouted for help ln chorus.

This brought to the scene John Qulnn, twenty-one years old, of 446 East One Hundred and Fourteenth street. By this time Maul and Elgin had sunk twice.

IS THIS A BIG HOAX? I This Eottle Held Keys and a Story ot Collision at tea. Signed by Two Who Went for a bail. States that They Were nun Down by the Steamship l'urls. Friends ot John Heath, the engineer In chatge of Engine Company ln Brooklyn, and I'ltch Lattrldge, who keeps a stove store at 451 1-2 Atlantic avenue, are undecided whether theso two men are practical Jokers or victims ot a collision at sea. Until to-day they were supposed to be cruising down tne bay In an old whale-boat that bud been fitted up as a yacht, but the news came to Brooklyn this morning that Jonn Cavauaugh, white walking along tne beach at Coney Island, picked up a bottle containing a note and some keys lue'note was as follows: "Our boat waa struca by the steamer Paris, bound tor burope.

Help was refused. "Our boat Is now near! filled with water. We are sinKing last. No boat near to help us. 1 "Uood-by, all.

He 'eft In an old whaleboat that he had fitted up as a yacht. With him was Fitch Lottrldge, who keeps a stove store at 451 1-2 Atlantic avenje. At the engine-house the firemen were Inclined to regard the matter as a Joke. Heath lived at t27 Atlantlo avenue, with his wife and one child, a boy. Mrs.

Heath only returned irom the Caukllls yesterday. SJe knew her husband had started for Atlantic Highlands, has heard nothing from him. I At Lottrtdga'a store this morning, a postal card waa received by J'a'homas Lottrldge, his son, dated Aug. 15. It aid: "We arrived at tne Highlands at o'cldck tnla morning.

We are all I right." The steamship Paris sailed from her docK in this city after 11 o'clock A. M. on Wednesday, Aug. 15, the same day upon which the postal card was mai.ed by Lottrldge at Atlantic Highlands. It, Is possible, of course, tnat the men may have landed at Atlantic Highlands and mulled the postal curd.

It is also poss.ble that they may have started out again for a sail and got Into the course of the Paris as she went out. The general belief In shipping circles, however, is that the story in tne bottle was a Joke, conctfeted and currlea out by the men In the boat on their nay to Atlantic Highlands, and mat tne postal caru was at Atlantic Higmands as an afterthought and to reassuie their I friends should the bottle have been picked up In the Interval between their departure for and arrival at Atlantic Highlands. When Manager Wright, of the American line, to which tne Paris belongs, waa shown a copy of the no.e, he remarked positively that It wasn't so. How do you knowt" he waa asked. It simply Isn't so," he rep.led, and he still maintained tnat he was rlgnt when It was suggested that the manager of a.teamsnlp line doesn Know any more about what la going ou at sea than, ordinary land lubbers.

Otner officials of tne American line said the Paris passed out ot the Hook at 12.47, and It would not then have been very foggy, for she was sighted. Except In thick fog, It was slated that a steamship could not run down a boat without seeing It, and tnat ln case of such an accident, help would be of- Weather Forecaster Dunn said that his records show that il was foggy along the coast all day Wednesday.

Leonard entered McCjrmlck's apartments, and not finding him there, waited on the stoop. When McCormlck came up Leonard drew a revolver and fired.

All the shots missed their mark.

The elder Leonard was found dead several years agj, with a bullet wound In his head. It was supposed he had been murdered. Justice Steers dismissed the case against Leonard.
