Boy Rides to His Death On Bicycle
Unable to Control Machine, He Dashes Into Auto
Premonition of Injury Had Prevented Trip to Europe
MINEOLA, June 1 -- Charles PIQUET, the 14-year-old boy who, while bicycle
riding yesterday, crashed into an automobile, died from the effects of his
injuries late last night in the Nassau Hospital.
	The boy was the son of Louis PIQUET, manager of  Disbert's establishment
near Cold Spring Harbor. Not long after he had started out yesterday for a
ride on his wheel, an automobile in which were Mrs. J.S. CARVALHO, Lawrence,
and a party of friends. (They?) stopped at the Disbert place and their
chauffeur, Wesley GRANT, inquired t(cut off) right road to Huntington.
PIQUET told him to take the West Neck road, and the auto party started off
again. When the machine was traveling at ra(cut off) speed young PIQUET
appeared on his bicycle at the top of a steep incline which runs down to the
road. The wheel traveled fast and the boy was unable to control it. He made
an effort to clear the automobile and the chauffeur tried to get out of the
way but the efforts of both were fruitless and the bicycle dashed into the
motor car and was hurled back by the violence of the shock.
	Mrs. CARVALHO and her guests assisted the injured boy as well as they could
and he was carried to a nearby house, where he was attended by a doctor, who
found that his skull was fractured at the base and that his forearm and
right wrist were broken. He was rushed to the hospital here by an automobile
and everything possible was done for him, but he died late last night.
	The boy's mother sailed for Switzerland recently with two of her children.
Charles was to have accompanied them but he refused at the last to go,
saying that he had a premonition that (cut off) would meet with some injury
if he (cut off) home.
	(Note: "wheel" is an archaic term for bicycle.)

Mad Italian Kills Wife and Flees
Santo TUERANO, in fit of jealousy, Shoots Woman After a Quarrel
Tragedy in Degraw Street Tenement
Believed to Be Hiding in Neighboring House
Santo TUERANO, 28 years old, shot and instantly killed his wife, Covetti, 22
years old, at their home, 124 Degraw street, at midnight last night.
	Prior to the shooting neighbors of the TUERANOS who live on the top floor of
the four-story brick house at that number heard loud and angry cries coming
from the TUERANO apartments, and it is believed that the man killed his wife
in a fit of jealousy.
	After he fired the first shots, TUERANO, who was clothed only in his night
clothes, jumped to the window and let himself down by means of the fire
escape to the yard below.
	Neighbors broke in the door and found Mrs. TUERANO with two bullet wounds in
her neck and one in her abdomen, lying on the floor.
	A hurry call was sent to the Long Island College Hospital, but when Dr.
BRENNAN arrived he said that the woman had died instantly.
	No trace could be found of TUERANO, but it is believed he is hiding in a
house of one of his friends in the neighborhood.
	The police of the Amity street station found a revolver on the floor of the
kitchen in the TUERANO house with three chambers empty.
	A small panic was created among sleeping tenants of the house. Men and women
rushed from their apartments attired only in their night clothes. The
reserves of the Amity street station were called out and the policemen
scoured the neighborhood in search of the man.

3 June 1907
3-YEAR-OLD SEES MOTHER MURDERED
Ten Stab Wounds in Woman's Body
-- "Don't Hit Mamma," Boy Heard to Cry
FATHER HELD A PRISONER
Bronx Woman Had Returned to Husband After Quarrel
	Patrolman BROWN of the AIexander avenue station, the Bronx, was
standing at the corner of 145th street and Willis avenue early this
morning when two men ran up and breathlessly asked to be directed to
a doctor. The manner in which the men acted aroused the curiosity of
the officer and he ordered the strangers to show him the house where
one of them had said his wife was seriously ill. The officer was led
to the fourth  story of a brick tenement at 403 East 146th street,
where on the kitchen floor lay the body of a woman with six stab
Wounds in her neck and four wounds apparently inflicted by a
jagged knife in the body.
	BROWN arrested both men. He learned that the dead woman was Kate
KILLORAN, 29 years old, the wife of James KILLORAN, one of the prisoners.
	In a bedroom adjoining the kitchen was a 3-year-old boy, who was
weeping bitterly and saying between his sobs: "Papa hit mama; papa
hit mama." The boy was the son of KILLORAN.
	After Patrolman BROWN had turned his prisoners over to a brother
officer he made an investigation of the circumstances surrounding
the murder. From Martin COSTELLO, who lives on the third floor of
the tenement, directly below the KILLORANS, he learned that shortly
before midnight there was a row in the KILLORAN apartment.
	The noise subsided for a time, according to COSTELLO, then the
quarrel was renewed. He heard hurried footsteps in the room above
and then sounds of loud thumping in the intervals between the sounds
of the struggle. COSTELLO said he heard the little boy crying,
"Don't hit mama, papa; don't hit her."
	Suddenly, according to COSTELLO, there was a crash, as if a body had
fallen heavily to the floor. Then he heard someone turning on the
faucet in the sink. It is the belief of the police that the person
who murdered the woman was washing his hands.
	The police learned that six weeks ago KILLORAN quarreled with his
wife and she left him. Last night she returned home, apparently
reconciled. In the pocket of her jacket was found a note which read:
"Come home, Kate, and let us be happy."
	When KILLORAN was questioned by Officer BROWN, he stated that
shortly before midnight he had awakened his wife and told her he
heard someone at the door. He said he asked for the key to the door,
which according to his story she refused to give him. Beyond this,
KILLORAN refused to say anything.
	The lad who was found crying was taken to the rooms of the Gerry
Society. It is believed by the police he may give some damaging
evidence against his father.

STACKMAN ENDS LIFE WITH GAS
Suicide On Second Anniversary of Death of His Only Son
Wife and Daughter Faint When Told He Is Dead
Grief over the death of his son, two years ago today, caused William
H. STACKMAN, formerly a well-known coal dealer of the Eastern
District, to end his life this morning at his home, 96 Heyward
street, by inhaling illuminating gas. STACKMAN was for many years a
sales agent for one of the largest coal dealers in Brooklyn. He was
51 years old.
	STACKMAN prospered and about three years ago he went into the coal
business for himself and opened a place on Nostrand avenue. Things
went along smoothly until two years ago today, when his only son
died of typhoid fever. The boy was a great favorite with his father,
and the latter brooded for months after over the death.
	About a year ago STACKMAN gave up his business, saying at the time
that he was in no condition to stand the strain and worry. He went
back to the big concern as an agent. His wife and 18-year-old
daughter, Flossie, who is a pupil at high school, tried to cheer
him, but the thought of his son's death never left his mind.
	In commenting on the weather last night, STACKMAN told his wife it
was enough to make a man commit suicide. She paid no attention to
his remark. He retired earlier than usual but got up again early
this morning. His wife, who was awakened, asked what was the
trouble. He told her that it was too warm and that he wanted to go
into the front room and sit by the open window.
	STACKMAN made careful preparation for his death. He secured a
washboard and placed it in the bathtub . He then covered up the
crevices in the door and after turning on the water in the tub
stepped in and laid down. He then placed the gas tube, which he had
connected with the gas jet, in his mouth and prepared to die.
	Some of the gas escaped into the air shaft and got into the
apartment of August SCHMACK, the owner of the house, who lives on
the floor below. SCHMACK got out of bed and went to the cellar,
thinking there was a leak in the meter. Being unable to locate the
escaping gas, SCHMACK rapped on the STACKMAN door and awakened Mrs.
STACKMAN.
	She became suspicious at once and remarked that her husband had
gotten out of bed. She went into the front room but he was gone. She
then traced the odor of escaping gas to the bathroom and found the
door locked. SCHMACK went into the street and found Policeman WELGE
of the Clymer street station, who broke down the door.
	When WELGE reached STACKMAN's side, the body was still warm. The
running water had reached the top of the bathtub and if the gas had
failed its purpose, the water would have soon drowned the man. WELGE
sent a hurry call to the Eastern District Hospital and Dr. SNYDER
responded.
	While awaiting the arrival of the doctor, Policeman WELGE  lifted
STACKMAN out of the bathtub and carried him out onto the stoop of
the house. He worked over him until the ambulance arrived. Dr.
SNYDER examined the man and said it was too late. He was dead.
	Both the man's wife and daughter fainted when they heard the doctor
say it was too late.

MAN GROUND TO DEATH IN BIG SUGAR WORMER
	John WUTH, 46 years old, of 109 North Eighth street, who is employed
in the Havemeyer Sugar Refinery, at Kent avenue and South Fourth
street, was caught in a machine shaped like a screw and known as a
"wormer" this morning, and was ground to death. Several fellow
workmen who ran to WUTH's assistance in an effort to save him
narrowly escaped sharing his fate.
	The "wormer" is a sort of propeller which sifts the molasses from
one vat to another. A piece of bagging got caught in the machine
today and WUTH tried to get it out. In so doing he was caught from
the back by the ponderous machine and slowly drawn to the horrible
death.
	When some of the other workmen saw WUTH they tried to save him, but
in the excitement everyone forgot to shut off the power until it was
too late. When the machinery was finally brought to a stop the
unfortunate man was ground to death. It was some time before the
body could be extricated from the machine.

FOUND DEAD AFTER NIGHT OF LIBERTY
	Two inmates of Coombs' Sanitarium in Jackson avenue, Corona, Queens,
eluded the watchfulness of their guards last evening and escaped
from the institution. This morning the body of one of them, R. L.
STEINER, 61 years old, a wealthy manufacturer with an office in East
165th street, the Bronx, was found in the gutter in Jackson avenue,
scarcely a quarter of a mile from the sanitarium.
	There were no marks of violence on the body of STEINER. Indications
pointed to heart failure. The companion who escaped with him, Joseph
KLEINE, has not yet been found by the police.
	It is believed that they might have visited one or more saloons in
Corona and were returning to the sanitarium when STEINER was seized
with heart failure and fell dead. KLEINE, they believe, was probably
badly frightened and ran away to hide in the woods.

(???)  KILLED BY TRAIN
George Fraser Meets Instant Death
at Thirteenth Ave. and Eighty-second St.
MOTORMAN BLAMES VICTIM,
But Witnesses Say Train Was
Speeding Over Crossing.
George FRASER, of 643 Greene avenue, a school teacher, was struck
and instantly killed by a Manhattan-bound Ulmer Park train of the
B.R.T. at the crossing at Thirteenth avenue and Eighty-second street
at 1:30 o'clock this morning. The train was in charge of Motorman
John MINOR, of 201 West avenue, and Conductor Frederick ISAACSEN, of
318 Fifty-seventh street.
	Carelessness is believes to have been the cause of the accident.
although, according to Motorman Minor's story, the fault lies
entirely with the dead man. FRASER had been visiting a friend in the
neighborhood and about 1 o'clock he went to the crossing at
Thirteenth Avenue and Eighty-second street to  get a Sixty-fifth
street train.
	According to MINOR, FRASER, while attempting to board the train, ran
directly in front
of the Ulmer Park train and was ground to pieces It is said by
several persons who witnessed the tragedy that the motorman was
operating his train at a tremendous rate of speed and that he failed
to slow up as he reached the crossing, which it is customary for
motormen to do.
	The Ulmer Park train was crowded with Norwegian picnickers who had
held a festival at Ulmer Park.   Most of the occupants of the train
were women and small children, and when the news spread that a man
had been killed by the train  some of  the women wanted to jump
through the windows.
	The arrival of the reserves from the Hamilton  avenue  station
tended to calm the panic-stricken picnickers.
	MINOR and ISAACSEN were arrested, the former on a charge of
homicide and the latter as a material witness. Both pleaded not
guilty and were held in $2,500 bail for  examination. The bail was
furnished.

TRUNK TOPPLES FROM BRIDGE, KILLING GIRL
	Felomeno BRUNO, 11 years old, of 290 Front street, Manhattan, was
almost crushed to death last night when a trunk weighing 130 pounds
fell from an express wagon crossing the Brooklyn Bridge at
Vandewater and Frankfort streets, Manhattan.
	Frank POWERS of 43 Debevoise place, this borough, caught up the body
and ran to St. Gregory's Hospital. Some of the children hurried to
the girl's home and told her mother of the accident. Learning that
her child had been killed, she became hysterical and attempted to
take her own life, and in the hospital her frenzy and grief became
so great that she had to be restrained.
	Timothy McGARRY, who was driving the express wagon, was arrested on
a technical charge of homicide and locked up in the Oak street
station. Investigation showed that the wagon was heavily loaded with
trunks and valises, and that they were not properly secured. When
the wagon swerved out of the car tracks to get out of the way of a
car the trunk and a valise were jostled over the coping of the
bridge.
	The trunk that killed the girl was marked HALLIDAY, 325 Macon
street, Brooklyn.

EXCITEMENT KILLS SPECTATOR AT FIRE
Employe of Burning Piano Factory Exclaims,
"My Job's Gone," and Drops Dead
One man dead from excitement, 20 firemen overcome by smoke and
property valued at $200,000 destroyed were the results of a fire
which today partially destroyed the five-story brick piano factory
at Southern Boulevard and (137th?) street, the Bronx, occupied by
several firms.
	George THOMPSON, an employe living across the street from the
factory, was awakened by the cry of fire. Seeing the factory on
fire, he exclaimed, "My job's gone," and dropped dead from heart disease.
	Paints and varnishes in the building fed the flames and caused dense
clouds of smoke, making it a hardship for the firemen to fight the
blaze. Time and again the firefighters were carried out of the
building by their comrades, and at one time a score were lying on
the sidewalk overcome by smoke.
	Chief CROKER then ordered the men to work in relays and saved many
others from being overcome.

GIRL LITERALLY DANCES HERSELF TO DEATH
Mary SCHMIDT, a pretty 18-year-old girl, of 206 North Seventh
street, went to a dance at Coney Island last night and died early
this morning of heart failure in the Eastern District Hospital.
	The girl, with Mary SCHWARTZ, who lives in the same house, attended
the reception of a social club in a Coney Island resort. It was said
that she danced every dance, and about midnight, when she began to
feel faint, set out for home with her companion.
	When the car reached the plaza at the Williamsburg Bridge, the
SCHWARTZ girl spoke to her companion and discovered that Miss
SCHMIDT was insensible. The conductor called a policeman and the two
carried the girl from the car. She was taken to the Eastern District
Hospital, where Dr. SNYDER found that she had been attacked by
syncope*. Miss SCHWARTZ told the police how her friend had danced
despite all remonstrances by her acquaintances.
*("Syncope" is a word for fainting.)

KILLED WITH BLACKJACK BY TRIO OF HIGHWAYMEN
August Meyer Set Upon in Myrtle Avenue
and Left Insensible and Dying
ONE MAN CAUGHT AFTER CHASE
Declares He Is Innocent -- Police Say
He Was Recently Released From Elmira
One of the most daring holdups in years occurred just before
daylight this morning at Marcy and Myrtle avenues, when three
desperate highwaymen attacked August MEYER, a shoe dealer, 49 years
old, of 527 Marcy avenue, and beat him so badly with a blackjack he
died a few hours later in the Eastern District Hospital. One man is
under arrest and the police are satisfied he is one of the trio that
figured in the holdup. He was held without bail by Magistrate
HIGGINBOTHAM in the Lee avenue court.
	From what the police can learn, MEYER had been out during the night
playing cards with a party of friends. Earlier in the day he had
deposited a large sum of money in an unknown bank. Then he met some
friends and played cards until after midnight, when he started for
home. He walked along Myrtle avenue toward his home as there was no
car in sight.
BEATEN WITH A BLACKJACK
	MEYER reached Marcy avenue and was about to turn from Myrtle when
three men leaped out of a hallway and pounced on him. Before he
could make any outcry, one of the thugs struck him a crushing blow
on the back of the head with a blackjack. MEYER fell on the street
with a groan, then another of the men fell on him and choked him,
while the third went through his pockets, finding nothing but a
watch and chain, which they took.
A few blocks away was Policeman MULDER of the Vernon avenue station.
He could see from the distance three men bending over an object on
the sidewalk. The cop started in pursuit but the men saw him and
also ran. Mulder noticed a white straw hat . . .
(one or more lines is apparently missing)
. . . of the trio and he followed the . . .(more missing lines?)
COP CATCHES ONE OF THEM	
	The chase continued along Myrtle avenue for several blocks. MULDER
drew his revolver and fired several shots in the air. Finally, he
caught up with the man wearing the straw hat, who said he was
Michael FENIMORE, 20 years old, of Adams street. He told the
policeman he was running for a car but the cop took him back to
where MEYER was lying. The latter was unconscious and could make no
statement.
	Several other policemen, who had been attracted by the shooting,
appeared on the scene and carried MEYER to the Vernon avenue
station, two blocks away. A call for an ambulance was sent to the
Eastern District Hospital and Dr. SNYDER responded. He found MEYER
suffering from a facture of the skull and hurried him to the
hospital. MEYER never regained consciousness and died with his aged
mother and his brother at his bedside.
	There was a most pathetic scene in the hospital just before MEYER's
death. His mother, who is past seventy years, sat at his bedside and
wept. She fell on her knees and prayed for the capture of her son's
assailants. MEYER's brother was also at the bedside and he fainted
when doctors gave up hope for the man's recovery.

Fight Over Girl May End Fatally
With a dangerous stab wound under the heart, Barney COHEN, 17 years old, 
of 117 Ellery street, is hovering between life and death in the Williamsburg 
Hospital, where he was taken this morning.The lad's assailant, a 
sixteen-year-old boy, was arrested and when taken before Magistrate HIGGENBOTHAM,
in the Lee avenue court later, was held without bail for an examination.
The love of both boys for the same girl, a seventeen-year-old miss, whose 
name is said to be Bessie,caused the quarrel which resulted in the stabbing. Both 
boys are employed in a tailor shop at 256 Wallabout street, and have been enemies 
for some time. Last night it is said both boys had appointments with Bessie.
Bessie made up her mind to accept Barney last night and it is said she went 
for a ride with him to one of the suburban parks. Hardly had she left the house
when her other admirer, " Issy " ROSENBERG, 16 years old, of 186 Wallabout
street, happened along with a box of candy and two tickets for a show at 
Coney Island.
This morning when the two boys started to work, several of the other 
employees joshed " Issy " about his girl turning him down and going out with Barney.
The jeering continued for some time, and then the two boys began to quarrel.
COHEN, made a rush at ROSENBERG, and the latter, it is said, grabbed a pair
of tailor's shears and jabbed his rival under the heart.
COHEN sank to the floor with a groan. A crowd gathered and it was at first
thought the boy had been instantly killed. When ROSENBERG realized what 
he had done, he made a leap for a window to jump, but was caught and dragged
into the office of the shop, where he was held until Policeman MCNEELY, of 
the Clymer street station, came along and arrested him.
In the meantime, a hurry call for an ambulance was sent to the Williamsburg
Hospital, which brought Dr. DANGLER. He found the boy unconscious and 
hurried him to the hospital, where it is said he will probably die.
ROSENBERG was taken to the Clymer street station and then to the Lee avenue
court, where Magistrate HIGGENBOTHAM, after hearing of the COHEN boy's
condition, remanded ROSENBERG without bail for a hearing.
Young ROSENBERG, although he claims to be sixteen years old, doesn't appear
to be over thirteen or fourteen. He is a slight built chap, with a wan face.

BURGLARS IN ROOM WHERE BODY LIES
Not deterred by the fact that the body of a dead man was lying in the 
room, a couple of burglars entered the home of John TURNBULL at 
398 Stuyvesant  avenue last night and rifled a china closet of 
silverware amounting to $100. The robbery is said to have taken place 
shortly before midnight and was witnessed by one of the domestics, 
who screamed too late to halt the flight of the burglars. Strangely 
enough, just one year ago to-day the house next to the TURNBULL 
residence, at No. 400, which is on a corner, was robbed by the 
notorious Masonic burglar, METELSKI, who got forty years in Sing Sing. 
Mr. TURNBULL's son, Harold S., died last Wednesday and the funeral 
services were arranged to take place to-night. Shortly after 
11 o'clock last night Mr. TURNBULL who was completely unnerved 
by the death of his son, retired to his room on the second floor of 
the handsome brownstone three story house. The dead man's body 
was in the back parlor on the first floor. Before retiring Mr. 
TURNBULL had given all the servants orders to be especially 
careful about locking the doors, saying he had a presentment 
that something would happen. One of the servants went to bed 
and the other three went to the kitchen to have some iced coffee. 
About 11:30 o'clock one of the girls heard a noise on the first floor. 
The  sound ceased in a very short time and the girls paid little 
attention to it. About fifteen minutes later the noise was again heard.
This time it was louder and it appeared as if some one was
walking over the carpeted floor.One of the servants, Mary BROWN, 
18 years old, rushed upstairs just in time to see two men with masks 
on their faces jump through the rear window and leap over the 
fence in the yard, vanishing from sight in less than thirty seconds 
The girl screamed, but it was too late, and when the other servants 
reached her side they found that almost every article of value in the
line of silverware had been taken from the house.

TEACHER MORTALLY HURT WHEN STRUCK BY CAR
Miss Mary M. RILEY, of 270 Twenty-first street,
a teacher in Public School 91, was fatally 
injured by a trolley car late yesterday afternoon
while returning to her home from the school at
Albany avenue and Lincoln road.
Miss RILEY, with another teacher, Miss Mary
CARROLL, alighted from a St. John's place car
at Fifth and Flatbush avenue intending to transfer
to the Fifth avenue line. In crossing the street in
front of the car from which she had alighted and
behind a Seventh avenue car which immediately
preceded it, Miss RILEY was knocked down and
run over by a special car of the Ninth avenue line,
used to transfer pupils of the Manual Training
High School to their homes.The forward truck of
the car passed over the unfortunate young woman
crushing and causing a compound fracture of 
both legs, besides shock and internal injuries.
A crowd of about 100 men and boys managed
to lift the car and extricate the young woman
just before the arrival of Ambulance Surgeon
GREEN, who responded to a call sent to the
Seney Hospital, to which she was removed.
Miss RILEY died about two hours later.
F.J. GILLEVER, of 273 Ninteenth street, an 
inspector for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company,
who was acting as motorman for the special car,
was arrested on a charge of criminal negligence,
and later gave bail.The Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company to-day issued a statement, saying
Miss RILEY was talking to a companion as she
crossed the street and the space she took between
the two cars was so narrow that the forward  or
Seventh avenue car quite shielded her from the 
view of Inspector GILLEVER, who was operating
the chartered car. Miss RILEY was a prominent
worker in the Roman Catholic Church, of St. John
the Evangelist at Twenty-first street and Fifth avenue.

THOUSANDS SEE DROWNING AT CONEY ISLAND
Just as one of the iron steamboats was landing its
passengers at Coney Island yesterday afternoon
a man was drowned in full sight of the thousand or 
more passengers who were walking down the gangplank.
	From clothing found in the bathing house which the
dead man occupied it was learned he was
Christian FEINTHAUER, 719 Union place, Hoboken.
He had gone into the surf about 3 o'clock, and was
several hundred feet off shore when he suddenly
became helpless and was seen to struggle 
desperately in the water.
	Three life guards, James WRIGHT, 
John FEANSFIELD, and Anthony POGEE, who were on duty, saw FEINTHAUER 
struggling and put out in a boat for the spot where he was. When they 
reached him, however, he had gone down for the first time, and was 
just ready to sink again when they pulled him, already senseless, 
into the boat. A hurried trip was made to the shore, where Dr.
SMITH, of the Dreamland Hospital, together with the life guards, 
tried vainly to resuscitate him.
After fifteen minutes all hopes of ever being able to revive the man were 
given up and his body was taken to the West Eighth street station house, 
and later to KOWSKI & JENCER's morgue where it was identified.

TROLLEY IN FATAL CRASH-
Two Fatally and Six Seriously Hurt in Collision Just Before Midnight
PASSENGERS CUT AND BRUISED
Ambulances From Four Hospitals Rush to Scene Agonizing Cries of Victims
	Two men are so badly injured that they cannot recover,
six others are seriously hurt and more than fifty 
passengers in a Smith street car were bruised and cut 
shortly before 11 o'clock last night, when the car, 
bound to Manhattan from Coney Island, crashed into 
Salvage Corps wagon No. 2 at Smith and Dean streets. 
The Salvage Corps wagon had left its house in Pacific 
street near Court to answer an alarm at Sterling place 
and Vanderbilt avenue, and was just turning into Smith 
street at Dean when car No. 354, in charge of Motorman 
John COX and Conductor John MEYER, came bowling 
along at a rapid rate. The car struck the wagon in the rear, 
pushed it up on the sidewalk, and into the window of the
liquor store of HIRSHEFIELD & BECK at the corner 
smashing the plate glass, upsetting the wagon and 
wrecking the car. The men in the Salvage Corps were
buried under the wreck and the passengers tossed out

Robert BAXTER, who lives in Degraw street, near Hoyt
street, was walking along Smith street at the time and
was bowled over by the wagon as it was pushed up on
the sidewalk. His skull was fractured and his right leg cut off.	
	Fireman William WOOLSEY, of the Salvage Corps, was
caught under the wreck and mangled by the glass. Both
men were unconscious when dragged out.

Capt. CUSHMAN, of the Corps; 
Michael O'CONNELL, the driver, and 
Fireman James TUOHEY, 
Daniel A. SMITH, 
Horace BYRNES and Daniel ERLINGER were hurled out and seriously injured. 
All suffered broken bones and cuts.
	Ambulances were summoned from Long Island College,
Seney, Brooklyn and Swedish Hospitals and the Surgeons
at once got busy caring for the injured.
BAXTER and WOOLSEY were at once rushed to the 
Long Island College Hospital. On the way to that 
institution Father PATTERSON, of the Church of St. Paul,
administered the last rites of the church to BAXTER.
The surgeons at the hospital this morning said that both
men had only a few hours to live. Their injuries were of
such a serious nature that they were beyond recovery.
The Surgeons from Seney, Brooklyn, and the Swedish
Hospitals were not kept in idleness in the meanwhile.
The trolley car was loaded to the running platform and 
the collision injured nearly every one in it, although the 
police were unable to obtain more than a dozen of names.
Some of those hurt were hustled into the pharmacy of
Otto E. ARESTOSKY, at 120 Smith street, and the others
were laid out on the sidewalk. 

These are the names of those hurt on the car that the police obtained:
Mary M'GOWAN, Twenty-third street and Second  
avenue, Manhattan, contusions of body, taken to Long Island College Hospital.
Henry OLDHAM, taken to Seney Hospital, contusions and cuts.
Madeline ENNIS, shock, went home.
Theresa MCBRIDE, contusions and shock, taken to Brooklyn Hospital.
Lena COMSTOCK, taken to Long Island College Hospital, contusions, cut by flying glass.
Beatrice ARNOLD, of Henry street, near Concord, shock, sent home.
Mrs. Ellen DORSEY, Euclid, O., and 5 year old daughter, Anna, 
	both cut about head, at Seney Hospital.
Sadie KEARNS, Schermerhorn and Bond streets, 
	contusions, shock, sent home.
Bessie SADLIER, 144th. street and Third avenue, Manhattan, shock, sent home.

	contusions, cut about head and face, sent home.
Mrs. Mary WECKERHOFF, Third avenue and Tenth street, Manhattan, 
	Long Island College Hospital, shock, contusions, cut by flying glass.
Gertrude MCCORMICK, Sands street, cut about face and hands, sent home.
Twenty or thirty others were bruised and cut and received attention at 
	houses in the neighborhood, which were thrown open freely. 
They went home without giving their names or addresses. The cries of 
the injured and the noise of the crash were heard for several blocks 
and a big crowd gathered. The reserves from two police precincts 
were summoned to keep the mob back and preserve order so that the 
ambulance surgeons could attend to their work. 
Capt. TIGHE arrested Motorman COX and Conductor MEYER on a charge 
of criminal negligence. They will come up for a hearing in the 
Butler street court this morning.

26 June 1907
SUICIDE ALMOST KILLED NIEGHBORS
Peter WEINTRAUB, 35 years old, a salesman, of
72 Gerry street, ended his life early to-day by 
inhaling immuminating gas. He had left nothing
undone by which the gas could escape from the
room. WEINTRAUB's act came near killing the
family of Samuel LIVERMAN, who lives in the 
same house, for though he had seen to it that 
none of the fumes of the gas could reach his 
own family, the fumes came into LIVERMAN's 
apartments, nearly stifling the occupants. 
WEINTRAUB plugged up every hole and crevice
in the parlor of his house, and after romoving the 
tips from three burners, turned on the gas. 
He had recently been in poor health and became
worried when one of his two children took sick.
While he was at business yesterday his wife 
took out the two children for an airing but instead
of returning to her home, Mrs. WEINTRAUB went
to the house of her mother. In the evening she 
sent to her home to see if her husband was there.
The messenger returned with the information that
there were no signs of life about the flat and that
the doors and widows were securely fastened.
This led the woman to believe her husband was
detained by business and when he returned would
come to her mother's house. It is believed that
WEINTRAUB reached his home early in the 
evening and finding his family absent decided life
was not worth living, and the best thing for him to
do was to end it all.It is believed by the police
that after he had plugged up the holes and crevices
in the parlor and removed the gas tips, he laid down
on a rug and placed his head on two pillows.Then
folding his arms, he calmly awaited death.
Then the escaping gas began to penetrate the 
cracks of the room and to enter an adjoining
apartment where there is an airshaft. That is how
the gas got into the apartments of LIVERMAN on
the floor above. It was late in the night then, and 
LIVERMAN, awoke nauseated by the smell  of
gas. He found his family in a like condition and
raised an alarm. It was several hours before they
fully recovered. Policemen GRIFFIN and COLLINS,
who had been summoned, traced the escaping gas
to the WEINTRAUB apartment, and kicked in the
door. Both officers were driven back by the gas.
When an investigation could be made the body of
WEINTRAUB was found. When Surgeon HAUPT,
of the Eastern District Hospital, arrived in response
to the summons, WEINTRAUB was pronounced dead.

when he went up in a balloon at a country fair up-
State. It was on a Friday that he made his first
attempt as a diver. At that time of the Slocum

ledge of machinery made him the kind of diver so
often needed in setting aright pieces of machanism

MYSTERY ABOUT DEATH PLUNGE ON THE BRIDGE
Body of John NELSON Crashes Through Window Into A Trolley Car
    Just how John NELSON, a machinist of 788 Third
avenue, came to his death is a puzzle to bridge 
police and B.R.T. officials and employees, though
many of the latter were present when the end came. 
A Putnam avenue car was rushing over the bridge 
toward Manhattan about 9:30 last night and was near
to the Brooklyn tower when the body of a man came
crashing through a window and fell into the aisle.
Before touching the body Conductor Christopher RAY
stopped the car and looked out the window. No trucks
or carriages were passing along the north roadway.
The body could not have come from the promenade,
which is in the centre of the bridge. RAY did not see, 
however, an elevated train of some Brooklyn line 
passing toward Manhattan.
The police were unable to account for the presence
of the body in the trolley car or any other theory
except that the man had fallen or been thrown from
the elevated train, either from a window or a platform.
NELSON's neck was broken and one of his ribs had 
been driven through the lung. Conductor RAY and 
Motorman Patrick ARCHER were arrested.
On the car at the time of the accident were about
fifteen passengers, several of whom were sprinkled
with broken glass when the body crashed through the window.
Elmer E. FOOTE, a track foreman, was instantly 
killed at the Brooklyn terminal of the bridge last
evening. He had stepped behind a couple of engines
that were stationary directly in front of a five-car
train that was being shunted from the yard to the
main track. Four cars passed over him. It was just
the height of the rush hour and hundreds on platforms
and cars saw the accident. FOOTE was 30 years old
and lived in East Orange, N.J.

TWO KILLED; MANY HURT BY LIGHTNING
	John LAWLESS, 50 years old, of 48 Fourth street,
was killed by lightning yesterday afternoon while on 
a Brooklyn Union Gas Company barge in Gowanus
Canal. He was the only one of several workmen who
failed to leave the boat when the storm broke.
In Newark, N.J., a young girl who had taken shelter
under a tree was killed and her father and sister were shocked.

	John HUBERT, of Flushing avenue and Grand street,
Maspeth, was struck by lightning at the corner of 
Marion street and Washington avenue, Long Island
City. The bolt hit a tree and jumped to the man. His
right side was somewhat burned and he was knocked unconscious.
Dr. HANLEY, of St. John's Hospital, took HUBERT to 
that institution, and to-day he seemed little the worse
for his experience.
In other parts of the city many persons were slightly 
shocked, and several buildings were damaged.

LITTLE GIRL WAS FOULLY MURDERED
Police Say Body Was Found In Bin Was Deprived of Life To 
               Hide Assault
     MOTHER SUSPECTS ITALIAN
   Man Made Threats and Is Missing Where He Works
In the death of Viola BOYLAN, eight years old, whose
body was found to-day in the cellar of the home of her
parents, 2290 Second avenue, Manhattan, the police
believe they have to deal with one of the most atrocious
and mysterious murders of recent months.
The indications are that the child had been brutally 
treated bofore she was slain. An Italian, said to have
made threats against the little girl, is being sought by
the police. Viola was reported missing to the police on
Monday by her mother, Norah BOYLAN and a search
for her had been conducted for three days.When the
small body was fished out of the coal bin there was a
severe cut under the left eye, another on the right leg,
and blood stains were visible on the body and clothing.
Frederick SCROPPEL, who lives in the same house as
the BOYLANS, discovered the body when he paid an
early visit to the coal bin. An ambulance was at once
summoned and the doctor in charge declared the child
had been dead but a few hours. It is believed the body
was placed in the coal bin some time last night.
It is the theory of the police that Viola was kept a 
prisoner until last night by some man who enticed her
to his room, and that she had probably been killed there.
On the throat were marks which are believed to have been
caused by a man's fingers.With the finding of the body the
police were informed of the treats* made by an Italian.
He had disappeared several days ago, it was stated at the
store where he had worked. Detectives throughout the city
were instructed to search for him. Little Viola was a general
favorite in the neighborhood and the finding of her body has
aroused the community. There was vigorous talk of the
treatment which should be given the murderer if found.
The child was last seen alive by her mother, who kissed
her as she sent her to school Monday morning at 8:30
o'clock. The child was extremely pretty, being fair-haired
and blue-eyed. She wore a blue dress trimmed with white
lace, brown stockings and patent leather low-cut shoes.

BROOKLYN ITALIAN MURDERED IN JERSEY
Vincenzo MEZZELLO, 40 years old, of 40 Union street,
Brooklyn, was found murdered along the side of the 
road at Palisade Park last night. The body was found
by two boys who are employed by a Fort Lee undertaker.
The lads had passed early in the evening when they heard
some one calling to them to stop, as they passed in a 
wagon. They paid no heed to the cries and continued
to the undertaking establishment, where they informed
one of their employers. About 10 o'clock the police were
notified and a "cop" hurried to the spot that the boys
described. He found a man lying beside the road. There
were three stab wounds in the body and his throat was
cut from ear to ear. The man was well dressed.

O'KEEFFE STIRS UP THE CAPTAINS
Many Complaints From Citizens About 
         The Firecracker Nuisance
COPS APPARENTLY DEAF TO IT
Premature Celebrations Result in Fatality
Deputy Police Commissioner O'KEEFFE, stirred 
to action by scores of complaints and the killing
of a little girl yesterday by a runaway horse which
had been frightened by an exploding firecracker,
to-day gave orders to the precinct commanders
to stir their men to vigilence in stopping premature
celebrations.
All over Brooklyn since the sale of  firecrackers was 
authorized, there has been a constant bing-bang-
bing, with the police apparently deaf to it.A patrolman
stood at the corner of Grand avenue and Prospect
place at 10 o'clock last night and did not budge from
his comfortable repose against a store window, while
a gang of boys halfway down the block in Prospect
place made enough noise with giant firecrackers to be
heard ten blocks away. At the same time another gang
at St. Marks and Grand avenues exploded what evidently
were dynamite torpedoes. Then the "cop" moved away, 
perhaps because he didn't like the noise.The same 
conditions prevail in other sections. Arthur HANSON, 
8 years old, of 204 Thirty-third street, went out yesterday 
to celebrate and lit a cannon cracker. All went well until he
lit a second cannon cracker. Then a piece of the wrapper
set fire to his clothing. He was in flames when Mrs. 
REDMOND, a neighbor, heard his screams, picked him
up and carried him to his mother. His clothes were torn off,
and the Norwegian Hospital ambulance surgeon attended him.
He is severely burned on the face and body.
Premature celebration of the Glorious Fourth caused the
death of 6 year-old Constance GABRICE, of 750 Hewitt
place, the Bronx, last night. While playing with her cousins,
the children of Ignatius WOLSKI, a few doors away, her 
clothing was set afire by a bunch of firecrackers.

DRUNKEN TAR KILLED BY BEATEN POLICEMAN
ARREST OF MATE INCITES SQUAD OF JACKIES ON SHORE LEAVE TO BRUTAL   
   ASSAULT - PUMMEL '"COP" WITH HIS OWN CLUB AND DANCE ON HIS
   PROSTRATE BODY - PRISONER FREED, CARRIED TO THE NAVY YARD 
   MORTALLY WOUNDED - AMBULANCE SURGEON PREVENTED FROM  
   ATTENDING THE POLICEMAN - GUARD AT THE SANDS STREET ENTRANCE  
   THREATENS TO FIRE ON RESERVES.

   Severely injured himself by a squad of drunken sailors who interfered with 
the arrest of one of their number, Patrolman Michael J. FLANAGAN, of the 
lower Fulton street station, drew his revolver and shot his prisoner three times. 
One of the bullets hit the tar in the abdomen and he died a few hours later in 
the Navy Yard. FLANAGAN's injuries were magnified, because the officer on 
guard at the Sands street entrance to the Navy Yard absolutely refused to permit 
an ambulance surgeon to enter and attend the policeman, after he had collapsed 
and had been carried into the guard house by a brother officer. This 
compelled the wounded man to go unattended for more than an hour and in that time loss 
of blood and unrelieved pain robbed him of what little vitality he had 
remaining after the sailors got through with him.
   FLANAGAN was standing at the corner of Sands street and Bridge row, not 
far from the Sands street entrance to the Navy Yard, when the band of sailors on 
their way back to the yard after a shore leave, came along acting 
boisterously. Words of warning from FLANAGAN failed to restore order among the sailors 
and FLANAGAN decided to place a sailor named McCAIRN under arrest for 
intoxication.
   McCAIRN and his mates boldly resented the officer's action and as he stood 
holding McCAIRN the other sailors set upon the policeman and, taking his club 
from him, beat him over the head and body with the stick. FLANAGAN fought 
back as best he could single handed and with only one hand free. Just when the 
sailors were about to renew their attack upon him McCAIRN broke from FLANAGAN's 
grasp and ran toward the Sands street entrance to the yard.
   Exclaiming that he would shoot down the first person that approached, 
FLANAGAN drew his revolver and shot McCAIRN in the latter's thigh.
   FLANAGAN then rolled over on the ground, but did not lose consciousness. 
He cocked his revolver again and the second bullet pierced McCAIRN's shoulder. 
Like a wild beast McCAIRN jumped at FLANAGAN again and fell on top of him. 
FLANAGAN saw him draw a knife, and with what little strength he had left he 
pressed the muzzle of his revolver against McCAIRN's stomach and fired.
   McCAIRN rolled over, and his mates, picking him up, carried him to the 
Sands street entrance to the Navy Yard.
   Once on government property the police were not allowed to enter or lay 
hands upon him.
   By the time the reserves arrived from the police station the rest of the 
sailors disappeared and no arrest was made. There was a lively controversy at 
the Sands street gate between the police reserves and the night guard on duty 
inside, and the police were informed that if they persisted in their demands 
for admittance to rearrest McCAIRN the guards would shoot to kill, as he was now 
on Government property and would be dealt with in accordance with the rules 
of the Navy instead of those of the police department.
   FLANAGAN, who had received several ugly scalp wounds by blows of his own 
night-stick, fainted, and Patrolman McKINLY carried him into the guardhouse 
inside the yard, despite the protest of the officer. A call was then sent to the 
Brooklyn Hospital, and Ambulance Surgeon MOORE responded. When he got to the 
Navy Yard gate he was told it was against the rule to admit him and the guard 
absolutely refused to let him in. MOORE argued in vain and finally was 
compelled to leave.
   FLANAGAN revived an hour late and McKINLY assisted him from the yard and 
brought him to the Cumberland street Hospital on a car, where Surgeon SNIDER 
examined him. His left arm was broken, his nose was crushed in, eight teeth were 
missing, ten lacerated wounds swelled his head, while his body was black and 
blue from the terrible beating he had received. When McKINLY left him he 
pleaded with him to go back to the yard and get McCAIRN.
   McKINLY went to the yard and after a long argument he was admitted. The 
authorities refused to give up McCAIRN and Medical Inspector AMES said that 
McCAIRN was all right and would be brought to the station house in the morning, as 
he was not seriously injured. This proved untrue, for at 3:30 o'clock this 
morning McCAIRN died.
   FLANAGAN was brought to the Adams street court this afternoon. He was 
swathed in bandages and barely able to stand.
   FLANAGAN was discharged by the Magistrate.

STITCHES IN HEART DIDN'T SAVE HIM
YOUNG SAVAGE LIVED EIGHT DAYS, AND DIED WHEN ALL DANGER WAS
   THOUGHT TO BE PAST.
HIS ASSAILANT IS UNKNOWN
STABBED IN A FREE FIGHT AT A CHRISTENING PARTY
   Anthony SAVAGE, 21 years old, of 221 India street, who had his heart sewed 
up in the Eastern District Hospital last week after the point of a knife had 
penetrated it, died early to-day. A few minutes before he died he was in the 
best of spirits, and he told one of the nurses that he hoped to be able to 
leave the hospital in a few days.
   The nurse stepped out of the room for a few minutes, and when she returned 
she noticed that the patient had had a sinking spell and was unconscious. She 
called a doctor, but SAVAGE died within a few minutes. His death was a 
surprise to the physicians, as it was thought he was getting along in good shape, 
and that all danger of a relapse had passed.
   SAVAGE was stabbed on June 21, when he and several other young men invaded 
the house at 229 India street, where a christening was taking place. In a 
general fight that followed several men drew knives and began to slash at each 
other. Who stabbed SAVAGE is not known and no arrests have been made. When 
SAVAGE was taken to the Eastern District Hospital it was found that he had been 
stabbed three times, one wound being in his heart.
   Dr. Cyrus C. BLAISDELL, the surgeon-in-chief of the hospital, decided that 
the only way to save the young man's life was to sew up the wound in his 
heart. SAVAGE consented to the operation, and three stitches were taken in the 
heart. He came out of the operation in good shape, and when forty-eight hours had 
passed the doctors said that SAVAGE had an excellent chance for recovery. He 
improved daily until this morning, when the sinking spell came that resulted 
in his death.

LOST HIS LIFE TO PLEASE HIS FRIENDS
JOSEPH WICHERT'S CHAUFFEUR KILLED IN COLLISION WITH STREET CAR
WITNESSES BLAME MOTORMAN
FOUR MEN RIDING IN THE AUTO ARE HURT
   In a smashup between a trolley car and an automobile owned by Joseph 
WICHERT, the well-known shoe manufacturer, who lives at 839 Prospect place, early 
this morning, Herman SCHNIBBE, 40 years old, chauffeur for Mr. WICHERT, was 
instantly killed. Four other men who were in the machine at the time were also 
badly injured.
   The accident occurred at Troy avenue and Pacific street. The machine which 
was going along Pacific street at a high rate of speed, reached Troy avenue 
just as a Sumner avenue car, in charge of Motorman Henry P. HAUCK, of 1377 
Bergen street, came whirling along Troy avenue on its way to Manhattan. Motorman 
HAUCK, it is said by eyewitnesses of the smashup, put on his brakes and slowed 
up. SCHNIBBE, thinking the motorman would bring his car to a standstill, 
continued on across the street. Instead of stopping, HAUCK again put on his power 
and crashed into the auto, throwing the occupants in the air. SCHNIBBE landed 
on his head in the gutter and was instantly killed.
   Mr. WICHERT and his business partner, Mr. GARDINER, and some friends had 
been to Coney Island in the machine. Upon leaving the Island SCHNIBBE took the 
party to their homes, and then started ostensibly for the garage. Instead of 
going there he went to the Eastern District, where he formerly worked as a 
bartender, and met several of his friends including Charles TIETJEN, who owns a 
large cafe at 703 Wythe avenue; Henry MULLER and Samuel OLDHAM, both of 703 
Wythe avenue, and Charles HUTCHINGS, of 582 Bedford avenue.
   One of the members of the party suggested that SCHNIBBE take them for a 
ride. He agreed and the four got into the auto and started down Bedford avenue. 
At Pacific street SCHNIBBE turned into that thoroughfare and started for Troy 
avenue where the smashup occurred.
   After the smashup HAUCK jumped from his car and ran to assist Policeman 
GORSLINE of the Atlantic avenue station, who was but a block away when the 
accident occurred. When it was found that SCHNIBBE had been killed the motorman was 
placed under arrest on a charge of homicide.
   SCHNIBBE's friends were also badly injured. HUTCHINGS is lying at his home 
suffering from internal injuries and bruises about the body. MULLER is 
suffering from scalp wounds and contusions. TIETJEN received several cuts about the 
face and body and OLDHAM had his left leg hurt.
   HAUCK the motorman, was taken before Magistrate HIGGINBOTHAM,in the Gates 
avenue court, to-day to answer a charge of homicide. He had nothing to say, 
and was held in $3000 bail for examination on July 16.
   SCHNIBBE, who had been in WICHERT's employ for over three years, lived 
with his famiy in Greenville, N.J.

LABORER KILLED BY SUBWAY WORK TRAIN

NEGRO KILLED DURING FREE-FOR-ALL FIGHT
   During a free-for-all fight in a picnic grounds at Ralph avenue and 
Prospect place, last night, James DARDEN, a negro, 33 years old, who says helices at 
he lives Carlton avenue, is accused of having shot Ambrose GREEN, a negro, of

to stand on the chair, slipped, falling against the window
pane. The blow of the child's body against the glass broke
it and Mary dropped to the sidewalk below. She was 
instantly killed.
Mrs. FAGIN, who was in the next room at the time, 
glanced in just as the child fell. With a piercing scream
she made a dash for the window. Her scream brought in
Benjamin LEWIS, who was passing in the hallway at the
time. He arrived in the room just as Mrs. FAGIN, realizing
that her child was dead, tried to throw herself from the same
window after her child. LEWIS caught her and calling three
other men managed to restrain the woman, who had become
so hysterical that she temporarily lost her reason.
Ambulance Surgeon MCMURRAY was summoned from St.
Mary's Hospital. He applied restoratives to the woman and 
she became calmer, but is now prostrate. The child's father
is at present confined in the Kings County Hospital, where
he underwent an operation on his eyes last week. The family
