SUICIDE BECAUSE HE COULDN'T BUY RING
Writes Letter to Sweetheart He Said Has Money, and Then Shoots Himself.
 MASON EPTIEL, a furrier, who was employed in Manhattan and lived at 34 
Second street, that borough, visited his brother yesterday afternoon at 
their mother's home, 589 Flushing avenue, to borrow $50 with which to 
purchase an engagement ring for his sweetheart.  He told his mother he 
had just won the hand of a young woman who had money and he wanted to 
buy a handsome engagement ring.  This was news to his mother and 
brother and the latter put MASON off until to-day.
 MASON became downcast because he did not get the money, and going to a 
front room got pen and ink.  He hurriedly wrote a letter and when it 
was finished went out and mailed it.  Returning to the house he 
dictated to his niece a letter directing his brother Charles to visit 
Manhattan to-day and collect $10 due the writer for wages.
 A few minutes later a pistol shot was heard and MASON was found lying 
on the bedroom floor dead from a bullet wound to the right temple.
 The family do not know the young woman in the case, but it is believed 
that the letter mailed by MASON was intended for her.

KILLED HERSELF WHEN SISTER DIED.
Aged Woman Couldn't Bear to Live After Lifelong Companion Had Gone.
SHE MADE SURE OF DEATH.
Papers Found Indicate They Were Well-to Do.
 Despondent because of the death of her sister, and tiring of life after 
her lifelong companion had passed away, Miss ELINA FRANCORT committed 
suicide early to-day by inhaling gas.  This is the explanation given by 
the police, who were called on to investigate the deaths of the two 
elderly women, whose bodies were found in their apartments in a 
boarding house at 133 East Eighteenth street.
 The body of Miss CLARA FRANCORT was lying in bed where she apparently 
had died of asthma.  Sitting in a rocking chair by the window of the 
room with a rubber tube, which had been attached to an open gas burner, 
in her mouth, reposed the body of the other sister.
 The woman had made careful preparations to insure death.  A cloth 
bandage had been tied about her head to hold the tube in her mouth.
 The two sisters, both of whom were 76 years old, had lived at the 
boarding house for the past six months.  Little was known about them, 
as they had kept to themselves the greater part of the time.
 Miss CLARA FRANCORT had suffered for some time with asthma, and had 
been treated by Dr. THEABOLD, of 234 East Twelfth street.  The 
condition of her body, as found this morning, indicated that she had 
died of asthma.
 It is believed that Miss ELINA was too deeply grieved over the loss of 
her sister and companion to care to live longer and took her own life.  
She was last seen alive about 1 o'clock this morning when she was 
noticed walking up and down the corridor in front of her rooms.  Papers 
found in the effects of the two women show that they had received 
payments from the estate of MATILDA C. WEIT, of Atlantic City.  There 
were two cashed checks showing that they had received $6,640 and $2,485 
on different dates last year.  They had been living in retirement for 
many years.

SCHROEDER & CO., located at 178 Water street, Manhattan, and retired

a self-made man, coming to New York from Natchez, Miss. when he was ten

5 April 1906
NOCQUET'S WILL FOUND ON HIS BODY
Daring Aeronaut Who Perished While Help Was Near Left All to Mother
LURED TO DOOM BY LIGHTS
Friends Go With Baymen to Spot Where He Died.
AMITYVILLE, April 5.---The body of PAUL NOCQUET, the unfortunate 
aeronaut, who was found dead on Cott Island last night, was brought to 
Amityville this morning and taken to the undertaking establishment of 
A.W. WHITE, where Coroner SAVAGE will hold an inquest to-morrow. Those 
who had charge of the removal of the body were Capt. GEORGE SMITH, who 
found the dead sculptor; ELMER DAVIS, ALANSON HOFF and FREDERICK B. 
POWELL.
 In an inside pocket of NOCQUET's  undercoat was found a letter of four 
pages, in which he tells what disposition he desired to be made of his 
property in the event of his death.  The date line of the letter reads 
"New York City, April 1906," the day of the month being omitted.  The 
letter is as follows:
 "My name is PAUL NOCQUET;  my address 55 East Fifty-ninth street; my 
profession is sculptor.  In case of death send for my good friend 
GUTSON BORGLUM, Esq., sculptor, who lives at 166 East Thirty-eighth 
street, New York.  He certainly will be so kind as to write to my 
brother-in-law, ALBERT VANDERKINDERE, 91 Rue des Palais, Brussels, 
Belgium, who will take all care possible to tell it to my beloved 
mother, who lives in Belgium.  Her address is Mme. NOCQUET, [  ] Place 
Communals, 5 Uccles Brabant, Belgium.
 "Everything that belongs to me is for my mother, or, in case of her 
death, to my sister, BERTHA NOCQUET, who lived with her.  If M.BORGLUM 
can do it he can make a auction of my works, bronze, terra cotta, 
plaster, which are in my studio or stored in JAMES LEOB's stable, 153 
East Thirty-eighth street, opposite BORGLUM's studio.
 "My beloved friend, RAOUL MERCIER, 54 Rue Richer, Paris, can keep for 
him and until his death all the works he has from me; paintings which 
were stored at his home when I came to America.  After his death they 
might go to my sister, BERTHA NOCQUET.
 "My money is deposited in the Madison Avenue Branch of the Mechanics' 
and Traders' Bank, Fifty-ninth street, New York.  This can be taken 
from there by my friend, GUTZON BORGLUM.  I do not care for my 
sculpture.  I only want it to remain in America.  I took my first 
papers of American citizen and intended to remain in America, a United 
States citizen, and consider that I am an American.
		[signed]  "PAUL NOCQUET"
 On the back of the letter are several names with telephone number 
opposite them, but they are so badly blurred as to be undecipherable.
 Dr. J.P. THOMAS, D.M. MARTIN, F. LUDLOW and STEWART ACKERSON, all 
members of the Aero Club, who came here yesterday, were to-day taken to 
Cott Island by Capt. SMITH, who will point out the spot where the body 
was found.
 When found NOCQUET lay face down on a mud flat.  NOCQUET, who ascended 
from the Bronx in a balloon on Tuesday afternoon, intending to sail to 
Philadelphia, had landed his balloon safely at a point on Jones' Beach 
two miles from where the body was found.  Safety would have been his 
had he remained with the balloon for a couple of hours, for the 
lifesaving patrol would surely have found him.  Safety likewise would 
have been his had he allowed his gas to escape or used his parachute 
when he hung in a calm in the afternoon 150 feet over Garden City and 
shouted to some school boys that he had lost his anchor.  Because of 
these conditions, the death of the daring French balloonist, it is 
conceded, is as peculiarly unfortunate as it was tragic.
 "He was mad.  Fright made him insane," declared Count DE FAULX to-day.  
And this theory is finding favor.
 Driven down Long Island by adverse winds, NOCQUET was observed passing 
from Jamaica to Hempstead at the rate of forty miles an hour.  
Somewhere further down the island, it would seem, he lost his anchor in 
a tree.  He appeared over Garden City 350 feet in the air.  Suddenly 
the wind ceased, and he fell to within 150 feet of the earth.  While 
shouting to the schoolboys the wind suddenly rose and drove him higher 
in a flash.  His voice died away, and in the gathering dusk he was 
driven down the island out of sight and evidently out to sea.
 Only the beached balloon and the silent body tell the rest of the 
story, and its only redeeming feature is that in his death NOCQUET 
indicated his theory that no matter if a balloonist be carried out to 
sea he will find a breeze to bring him back to land.  About 9 o'clock 
at night baymen heard a voice shouting for help over the water in the 
darkness.  They could not locate the cries.  Evidently shortly 
afterward the lost balloonist struck the sands.
 Four miles away twinkled the lights of Amityville.  In the night they 
looked scarcely half that distance off. So say the baymen.  Anyhow, 
they lured the lone Frenchman to his death.
 In the dark and in the treacherous mud he struggled and swam, evidently 
for hours, from the Atlantic swept strip of sand known as Jones' Beach 
towards the beckoning lights.  That he won two miles of the desperate 
journey has astonished the hardy baymen.  A score of so-called islands, 
mostly mud flats and quicksands, lay between him and his goal.  At 
every step on the "islands" he must have sank knee deep in the mud.  
The intervening chilly creeks he swam.  The lights recede as one 
approached; so say the baymen.  The battle evidently was getting 
heartbreaking, a mile from the balloon.  Here the lone venturer cast 
off some of his clothing but retained a life belt that was round his 
body.  Then he resumed his course until overcome by sheer exhaustion, 
he fell forward too......[end of article cut off].

 Besided playing in "Buster Brown", Catherine had appeared in Hearts 
Adrift" and "Little Mother," and was one of the best known children on 
the stage.  She was taken from the stage a short time ago by her 
parents so that she might obtain an education.  She became a pupil of 
St. Paul's Parochial School, and it was shortly after leaving there on 
Monday that she hurt herself by falling while roller skating.  This is 
thought to have resulted in her death.  She struck her head on the 
sidewalk and was stunned, but rallied and said she did not feel hurt.  
At 4 o'clock yesterday she developed alarming symptoms and sank rapidly.
 The doctor said that Catherine kept herself alive till her father came 
by sheer will power, repeatedly asking if he had come yet.  Mrs. 
McCARTHY is known to the stage as Mona DIAZ and is now in Ottawa, Ill., 
where she was informed last night of her daughter's death.

CITY LIFE DROVE HER TO LEAP TO HER DEATH
 Balancing herself for a fleeting moment on the sill of a window five 
stories above the pavement, Mrs. Lena SEIZED, of 918 East 156th street, 
Manhattan, yesterday afternoon waved her hand at the horrified crowds 
in the street below and then plunged to her death.  Her husband, who is 
a foreman with the Fuller Construction Company, in Manhattan, said that 
the only reason for his wife taking her life was that she had never 
been able to accustom herself to urban life, and had suffered greatly 
from nostalgia.
 Mrs. SEIZES was a handsome young woman of 23.  She was married about a 
year ago and came to this city with her husband from Boston.  Recently

said she was feeling too nervous and ill to join him at the table.  It 
was but a few moments after that Mrs. SEIZES plunged from the window.  
SEIZES supposed she was lying down, and knew no differently until he 
heard a piercing scream uttered an instant before her death.

MISS LOVE'S COMPANION SURRENDERS TO POLICE.
 Miller H. MCGUCKEN, who was with Delphine LOVE at the time the girl is 
said to have thrown herself from a third-story window of the Hotel 
Sterling, Seventh avenue and Fiftieth street, Manhattan, early 
yesterday morning, went to the West Forty-seventh street police station 
to-day, accompanied by a bondsman, and gave himself up.
 Coroner George F. SHRADY, Jr., is by no means certain that Miss LOVE's 
death was due to suicide, and he had directed the police to find 
MCGUCKEN, who lives at the Hotel Balmora, Lenox avenue and 114th 
street, which is owned by his father.
 MCGUCKEN and Miss LOVE, who was the daughter of Dr. I.N. LOVE, one of 
the best known physicians of the city at the time of his death, 
registered at the hotel has man and wife.  Coroner SHRADY says his 
investigation has shown that MCGUCKEN and the girl had a violent 
quarrel, and it was necessary for the hotel people to warn them to be 
quiet although only a few drinks had been served to them.  MCGUCKEN was 
arrested at the time the girl was found, but was released in the West 
Side Court because a physician from Roosevelt Hospital said she was not 
badly hurt.  MCGUCKEN later called up the hospital, and when he found 
the girl was dead, disappeared, and was not seen until he gave himself 
up to-day.

BROKER'S SUICIDE REVEALS SWINDLE
Brooklyn Man, His Easiest Dupe, Finds Dreams of Wealth an Empty Bubble
LEFT PENNILESS IN OLD AGE
DUCK Lavished Victim's Money on His Mistresses.
Through a cablegram from London, asking that the body of "A. DARLING," 
who shot himself on March 18 in a room in the Grand Union Hotel, 
Manhattan, be given decent burial is revealed a swindle as remarkable 
as that of the Franklin Syndicate, operated by "520 per cent," MILLER 
and Col. Bob AMMON, now in Sing Sing.  For nearly fifteen years, Arthur 
E. DUCK, "DARLING's" true name, had fleeced credulous Americans through 
the "blind pool" swindle.  Millions were poured into the scheme, and as 
fast as the money came in, DUCK handed it over to women he was 
supporting.  His greatest victim, so far known, is Edwin C. BAILEY, a 
white haired old man, who has been living in a dingy, shabbily 
furnished room at 36 Wyckoff street, and handing over to DUCK every 
cent he could possible spare, blindly trusting the broker and believing 
that fabulous profits would soon be at his command.
 DUCK was a member of one of the richest families of brewers in England. 
  He was associated with Louis G. TEWKSBURY,  now under arrest in 
Manhattan, charged with plundering the estate of his divorced wife.
 When TEWKSBURY's bucket shop was closed by the police and his famous 
windowless mansion in Manhattan seized by creditors, DUCK opened an 
office of his own in Broad street and posed as the American 
representative of "BARRON, ANDERSON & Co.,  formerly ANDERSON, BARRON & 
Co., of London."  This firm, which is now shown to have been merely a 
fabrication of DUCK's imagination was supposed to be dealing in the 
principal American stocks on the London market.
 It was shortly before the exposure of TEWKSBURY's schemes that Edwin C. 
BAILEY had recently inherited an estate worth about $40,000.  DUCK told 
him of a blind pool that ANDERSON, BARRON & Co. were operating.  His 
accounts of the profits that would result from this speculation were so 
alluring that old BAILEY became money mad, sold his comfortable home, 
gave all his money to DUCK and went to live on 30 cents a day in the 
little room at 36 Wyckoff street.  The pool that he had dropped his 
money into was to run for eight years.  Once in, the agreement 
prevented an investor withdrawing his money until the speculation was 
ended and the pool dissolved.  BAILEY knew of other men who had amassed 
fabulous wealth through just such schemes, and the reports he got from 
time to time from DUCK were so promising that he sunk more of his 
income in the swindle.  Some of his property was so tied up that he 
could only get at the income, but every cent of this that was not 
absolutely necessary for living expenses was turned over to DUCK to be 
converted into part of the great fortune BAILEY thought would someday 
be his.
 When the first pool that he had invested in was closed out, BAILEY was 
told that his money, principal and accrued profits, was eight times as 
great as the original investment.  DUCK showed him this money, or some 
of it, stacked up in glittering gold and crisp bank notes in the big 
steel save in the broker's office, and asked what disposition BAILEY 
wished  made of the money.  DUCK had previously been careful to tell 
his confiding victim of another blind pool that ANDERSON, BARRON & Co. 
were going to operate, and BAILEY, with an idea that DUCK was a Midas 
and that he would be a modern Croesus, answered simply, "Count me in 
for all I have."
 That night while BAILEY was munching on a crust of bread and sipping a 
glass of milk in his unheated little hall room and thinking of his 
growing wealth, DUCK was wining a gay young actress in an up-town cafe, 
drinking to the credulity of Americans in general and of old BAILEY in 
particular.
 But BAILEY, now a feeble old man of 74, was not the only victim.  
Hundreds, probably thousands, of persons did as he had done, and 
continued to dream of their hatching wealth, until the crash came with 
DUCK's death.  In fifteen years it is said he squandered more than 
$1,500,000 on women, and it was a woman's greed that finally drove him 
to take his life.
 Money had been coming in slowly, and DUCK with a half dozen women to 
support, found it impossible to make both ends meet.  He mortgaged his 
office fittings and spent the proceeds, but that was merely another 
drop in the bucket.
 When old BAILEY heard of the broker's death he was stunned.  All his 
dreams  were shattered, and the old man, too feeble now to work for his 
support, tottered against the wall a ruined man.  Every cent he had was 
gone, swallowed up as completely as if he had tossed it into the ocean. 
  The bubble had burst, and BAILEY from being the supposed possessor of 
millions, found himself penniless, with nothing he could call his own 
but the rusty suit on his back.
 How much DUCK got away with will probably never be known, but the 
police from the cursory investigation they have been able to make, 
believe that the swindles operated by DUCK netted him fully $2,000,000, 
most of which he spent on women and gambled away.

HEART FAILURE KILLS MAN IN BROADWAY
While walking along Broadway, at Myrtle avenue, this morning Thomas 
HENNESSY, a mechanic, 33 years old, of 372 Vernon avenue, dropped to

FOUND MANGLED IN STREET MAN DIES IN HOSPITAL
Responding to an appeal from Mrs. Clara DAHLIN, one of his 
parishioners, Dr. Fritz JACOBSEN, of the Swedish Lutheran Bethlehem 
Church, hurried yesterday to St. John's Hospital, where he found the 
woman's husband lying dead, his body, head and limbs covered with 
gashes and bruises.  Declaring his conviction that murder had been 
done, Dr. JACOBSEN refused to perform the funeral service until the 
police had been notified and the Coroner had charge of the case.  The 
hospital authorities assured him that their own suspicions had been 
aroused, and proper steps would be taken at once.  To use their own 
words, "A threshing machine could not have mangled  the body in worse 
fashion."  Police Inspector CROSS has ordered an investigation.  The 
dead man, Anton DAHLIN, was a mining engineer, but for some time had 
been out of employment, and was last seen, before the discovery of his 
mangled body by a policeman at 1:30 A.M. Sunday, by Charles LUMBERG, of 
689 Classon avenue, at 1 o'clock that morning, who had a conversation 
with him, but noted no marks of injury.  After arrival at the hospital 
the victim lived less than two hours.  A peculiar condition lies in the 
fact that while the body is covered with wounds like small knife stabs, 
no holes are found in the clothing covering the body.

extricate him, but was unable to do so until a wrecking car arrived.

Ambulance Surgeon BAXTER died before he could be removed to the 
hospital.  He leaves a widow and three small children.

CRIMINAL OPERATION KILLED MRS. DENNIS
The inquest conducted by Coroner SHRADY into the death of Mrs. Blanche 
T. DENNIS, the young widow of an army officer and well-known in St. 
Louis, Mo., who died in the Hotel Marseilles, Broadway and 103d street, 
on March 28, resulted in a verdict that the woman's death was due to 
criminal operation.

Baron BAVASTRO de CORTAZZI, of Alexandria, Egypt, testified for a few 
minutes and when he left the stand was promptly arrested by Detective 
DENT, of the Centre street police court on a warrant charging him with 
cheating a boarding house keeper.  The Baron is a small man and it is 
said that he was shipped out of the house in a trunk.

The most important witness was Miss Clara PAGE, the complainant against 
"Count" Aribet SACKY, who as well as the Baron was intimately 
acquainted with Mrs. DENNIS.  Miss PAGE delares that the Count robbed 
her of $16,000.  She was asked if Count SACKY was acquainted with the 
dead woman and replied:
	"He told me so and she told me so, too.  Mrs. DENNIS told me  that she 
was engaged to be married to him and had broken off the engagement.  
Mrs. DENNIS told me after Christmas that she had seen SACKY in Atlantic 
City, and that he had tried to choke her, had knocked her down and 
beaten her.  She was suffering from appendicitis at the time."

Dennis John HARRINGTON died yesterday in his forty-second year at his 
home, 92 Washington street, Flushing.  He was born in Ireland and made 
a fortune and lost it in the furniture business in Manhattan.  As a 
politician HARRINGTON was the victim of many a practical joke.  Judge 
MCMAHON, as leader of the Seventeenth Assembly District, knowing of 
HARRINGTON's popularity among the Irishmen of the district, made him an 
Alderman in 1898; he served until 1900.  The Queen's birthday in 1899 
led to his undoing as a politician.  A few days before some joker 
handed him a paper and told him to "introduce it."  It was a republican 
calling for the raising of flags on all public buildings in honor of 
the Queen.  The Clan-na-Gael and other Irish societies passed 
resolutions denouncing HARRINGTON.  The joke caused so much feeling 
that Judge MCMAHON was afraid to renominate HARRINGTON, so the Alderman 
started a campaign to take the leadership from the Judge.  One night he 
started to speak on the top of a hogshead.  In a few minutes his 
eloquent remarks and violent gesticulations broke in the head of the 
barrel, which had been loosened, to drown his remarks in water below.  
HARRINGTON's jovial manner made him many friends.  About two weeks ago 
he fell and broke his hip.  He was the owner of the Iroquois Hotel, in 
Flushing.

SLAIN ABOARD SHIP HE WAS TO SAIL ON
Found Dying of Stab Wounds After Leaving Steamer With Three Men.
CARRIES SECRET TO HIS GRAVE
Policeman Watches as Doctors Try to Revive Him.
Without regaining consciousness and with a policeman sitting at his 
bedside waiting for him to name the men who are supposed to have 
stabbed him, Casati SPARTASO, 18 years old, died in the Long Island 
College Hospital  this morning the victim of a murder the motive for 
which has not yet been determined.
  SPARTASO was a passenger on the Italian steamship Lazio, which is 
undergoing some repairs at the foot of Dwight street.  She started to 
sail a day or two ago, but because of the breaking of an axle was 
forced to put in at Dwight street.  She is expected to sail this 
afternoon or to-morrow.
 SPARTASO arrived in America some months ago determined to make a 
fortune and wandered to Alabama, Ga.  He failed to prosper and longed 
to return to Milan, from which city letters occasionally came from his 
father and mother.  He secured passage on the Lazio.  At 8:30 last 
night he had occasion to go ashore.  A witness said he was accompanied 
by three other men, supposed to have been passengers.
 Two hours later SPARTASO was found bleeding to death some feet from the 
dock by Joseph LILLY, of 40 Dykeman street, a watchman.  His abdomen 
had been pierced several times with a knife.  Surgeon WILLIAMS was 
summoned from the Long Island College Hospital and removed the young 
man there.
 Every effort was made to restore him to consciousness to clear up the 
mystery of his assault.
 Capt. DOOLEY and Detectives MCGLENE and MOLEN, of the Hamilton avenue 
station, visited the vessel and arrested Francisco ALESSI, Germaro 
SANTOMARO, Joseph BOSGO, Thomas PENESI, Frank ROSALINI and Francisco 
CARZOLIO, sailors, on suspicion of having some knowledge of the man's 
death.
 They were later taken to the Butler street court, where Magistrate 
DOOLEY held them for examination.
 The captain of the vessel and those who were on duty last night said 
they did not hear any cries of distress.  The captain said that there 
was no record that showed the young man had been either a passenger of 
a deckhand.  A friend of the young man said, however, that he had been 
a passenger.

GRIEF OVER WIFE'S DEATH DRIVES MAN TO HANG HIMSELF.
Driven to despondency, it is believed, by the death of his wife, three 
months ago, when his eight children were left motherless, Charles 
PALMER, a shoemaker, of 358 Midwood street, Flatbush, hanged himself 
from a beam in the cellar of his home during the night.  His body as 
found this morning, by his son, Charles, who, with the assistance of 
his brother, cut it down.

RABIES FATAL MONTHS AFTER DOG BITE.
Child's Wound, Cauterized, Heals---Sight of Water Regenerates Deadly Germ.
  Bitten on the arm months ago by her pet dog, four-year-old Helen 
MCDONALD, of Elmhurst, had her wound cauterized, and, as the child 
showed no effects from the bite, her parents thought light of the 
incident.  The wound was little more than a scratch, and there was no 
suspicion that the child had been inoculated with the hydrophobia germ. 
  In fact, it wouldn't have been treated at all had the dog not 
disappeared after biting his little mistress, and her father consulted 
a physician as a matter of precaution.  Thursday the child developed a 
violent attack of true hydrophobia, and died after suffering hours of 
excruciating agony.
 Little Helen was playing with some other children Thursday afternoon 
when they strayed to a pond in a lot near her home.  Childlike, she 
dabbled her  toes in the water, and was scolded when she went home for 
getting her feet wet.
 Soon after dinner the child became feverish.  Her mother gave her a 
glass of cold water, and it was not many minutes later when she had 
convulsions.  Physicians were called, but they could do nothing to 
check the paroxysms.  Her little fingers tore the bed covering away, 
froth was flecked from her lips, and she developed so great strength 
that at times three persons were required to hold her in bed.
  For hours the child writhed about in greatest agony, growling like a 
dog, and snapping at those about her, before death ended her sufferings.

KILLED AFTER ROW IN SALOON
As a result of a fight outside the saloon of Paul MARTINEZ, at 467 
Central avenue, last night George HARPER, a tailor, of 475 Central 
avenue, received a fracture of the skull that caused his death.  
Richard KLEIN, 20 years old, and his father, Henry KLEIN, both porters, 
who live at 483 Central avenue, were held to-day for examination on a 
charge of homicide.  The proprietor of the saloon was also held on a 
charge of violating the excise law.
The fight that led to the death of HARPER, it is said, began in the 
saloon after John HARPER, a brother of the dead man, who lives at 744 
Chauncey street, had entertained a gathering with sleight-of-hand 
tricks.  During the exhibition young KLEIN doubted the genuineness of 
the tricks, and to convince him that he was no fakir*, John HARPER got 
possession of KLEIN's stickpin and handed it to the bartender, George 
POPE.
When the young man discovered some time later that his pin was gone he 
accused HARPER of stealing it.  This led to angry words, and blows were 
exchanged.  There was a general fight, and finally the HARPER brothers 
left the saloon by a side door.  The two had gone only a short distance 
when they were overtaken by the KLEINS, father and son.  The fight was 
renewed, and in the mix-up George HARPER was kicked in the head by 
Richard KLEIN.
The fighting stopped when the men saw George HARPER lying motionless on 
the sidewalk.  Policemen GREEN and FRITZ, of the Hamburg avenue 
station, came up on a run and sent a ambulance call to the German 
Hospital.  When Ambulance Surgeon VALENTINE arrived he found that 
HARPER was dead.  The police arrested the KLEINS and also took the 
saloon keeper and the bartender into custody.
In the Manhattan avenue court to-day Richard KLEIN denied that he had 
kicked HARPER.  He and his father said the tailor received the fracture 
of the skull when he fell by hitting his head on the sidewalk.
The dead man leaves a widow and one son, ten years old.
*fakir=one of a Moslem holy sect to lives by begging.

DOUBLE MURDER ON "L" STATION
In the presence of half a hundred persons awaiting a train on the 
elevated platform at 110th street and Eighth avenue, Manhattan, this 
morning a negro deliberately murdered another negro and a negress.
The three were seen to alight from a northbound train, the woman and 
one of the negroes being slightly in the advance.  Suddenly the negro, 
who to all appearances had been following the other two, pulled a 
revolver and began firing.
The first shots struck the woman in the back and she fell dead.  Her 
companion started to run away, but the murderer was too quick for him 
and another bullet landed in the negro's heat, killing him instantly.
Jumping over the dead body of the man, the murderer ran down the stairs 
to 109th street and disappeared.
Who the dead persons are is unknown.  In the pockets of the man was 
found a brass check which showed that he was or had been employed by 
the New York Contracting Company.  By this the police expect to be able 
to identify the dead and get a clue to the murderer.

DISAPPEARS AFTER WIFE IS KILLED
HUNTINGTON, April 19.--Coroner GIBSON and Assistant District Attorney 
BLUE of Suffolk County are to-day investigating the mysterious case of 
Mrs. Elizabeth MEINEKE, who was found dead in her home on Wednesday 
morning from a pistol shot wound.  The bullet which caused the woman's 
death struck her in the forearm, passing through that member into her 
body and pierced her heart.
	The husband of the woman, Charles MEINEKE, and his fifteen-year-old 
son, told the coroner when he went to the house after the shooting that 
the woman got out of bed early Wednesday morning to get a bottle of 
beer, and she must have knocked the revolver, which was on the 
washstand, to the floor, discharging it and thus causing her own death. 
  Coroner GIBSON after examining the body refused to grant a permit, as 
in his opinion the wounds could not have been caused by the accidental 
discharge of the revolver, as the husband described it, and he did not 
believe the woman had ended her life by shooting herself.
	MEINEKE was arrested to-day and held by the Coroner.

person could be found who had seen him enter the tunnel, and the spot

FOUR PERSONS, SIX HORSES DIE IN SATURDAY NIGHT'S FIRE
Police Captain Patrick HARKINS and Fire Marshall BEERS have been 
investigating to ascertain, if possible, the cause of the fire that 
occurred late Saturday night at Coney Island in which four persons and 
six horses were burned to death and $20,000 worth of property destroyed.
	The fire broke out about midnight in the one-story combination stable 
and residence of Dennis MCGRATH, on West Second street, near Park place.
	Immediately the two-story dwelling owned by Miss Anna BLUMBERG and 
occupied  by Henry FARMER and family, and the six two-story frame 
buildings adjoining took fire, and for a time it looked as if the 
entire section north of Seaside Park would be wiped out.
	Upon the arrival of Acting Battalion Chief ROBERTS second and third 
alarms  were sounded, to which Chief LALLY responded from Fire 
Headquarters.  Thousands of spectators gathered to see the blaze.  
Patrolmen LINKLETTER and NOVIN carried out Harry FARMER and his family 
and Mrs. BLUMBERG while the other officers began assisting the firemen 
with the hose.
	It was not until 3 o'clock yesterday morning, when searching the 
ruins, that the firemen came across the bodies of 
Dennis MCGRATH, 75 years old; 
his son Peter MCGRATH, 35; 
John BROWN, 30 years old, and 
James GAVIN, 28 years old.  
The last three resided with the elder MCGRATH.  
In MCGRATH's hand, when found, was $685 in bills, while close by lay a 
wallet containing  over $200.  It is the belief of the police that the 
elder MCGRATH had escaped  but returned  for his money and was overcome 
by smoke.  The most dramatic and heart touching incident was the 
finding of the body of James GAVIN by his brother, Thomas, who is 
assistant foreman of Engine Company 145, the first company to arrive at 
the fire.  The bodies were removed to HAVRON's morgue on West Eighth 
street.  Shortly after the fire broke out the Rev. Dr. William D. 
HUGHES, superintendent of the Coney Island Rescue Home, and wife, who 
is probationary officer in the Coney Island police court, visited the 
ruins and took all the families that were burned out to the home, where 
they will be provided for until other quarters can be obtained.
	The business men of the island are up in arms over inadequate fire 
protection and have called  an indignation meeting to be held at 
STAUCH's Assembly Rooms to-morrow evening.  The members  will protest 
Mayor MCCLELLAN and Fire Commissioner O'BRIEN.  Some of the members 
claim that Engine Company 144, of West Fifteenth street, only carried a 
total of five men.  Three of these were drivers, an officer and one 
fireman.

ITALIAN PHYSICIAN COMMITS SUICIDE
Dr. Thomas ARMANIA Found in Room With Wrists and Throat Slashed.
DESPONDENT FOR SOME TIME.
Left $5 for the San Francisco Sufferers.

Dr. Thomas ARMANIA killed himself yesterday afternoon at 686 Lorimer 
street.  He was an Italian, 41 years old, unmarried, and resided with 
the family of Francesco DE ANDRIA and occupied a suite of rooms on the 
second floor.  The doctor was seen to leave the house and go to a 
neighboring drug store in the morning, returning shortly after, and was 
not seen alive again.
	A number of  his patients called during the afternoon and finally one 
of the callers went to the floor below and told Mrs. ANDRIA that the 
door to the doctor's rooms was locked on the inside ant it was apparent 
that something was wrong.  Mrs. ANDRIA opened the door with a pass key 
and was horrified to find the doctor lying on the floor in a pool of 
blood while by his side was a razor, with which he had severed the 
arteries of both wrists and had cut his throat from ear to ear.  Dr. DE 
VERONA was hastily summoned from St. Catherine's Hospital, but he could 
do nothing.  ARMANIA had evidently laid on an operating table and 
rolled off after slashing himself.
	Mrs. ANDRIA said that neither she nor her husband knew of anything of 
the doctor's family connections as he had always been reticent and 
non-communicative.  From the few remarks he had made from time to time 
when questioned as to the cause of his evident despondency, it was 
gathered by his landlady that he was unhappy on account of a love 
affair.
	He was apparently in a cheerful frame of mind when he went into Dr. 
Genaro GRAGNANO's drud store, at Lorimer and Withers streets,, 
yesterday morning and asked if there was any mail for him.  The 
druggist handed him a letter from his mother.  After Dr. ARMANIA had 
read the letter he seemed depressed.
	On a small table in his office was a postal receipt for a remittence 
he had sent to his parents in Italy yesterday morning after he had 
received his mother's letter.  There was also a contribution of $5 for 
the San Francisco sufferers.

the steeple of the church at Father MALONE's direction and unfurled the 
Stars and Stripes from the window of the belfry.  She was an active 
worker during her life in the cause of the old church until four years 
ago, when the old homestead on Berry street was razed for the approach
