Unlike the man who had els In his inside

aged miser, Patrick Skellv, woke up in the
Tombs Prison this morning, while Warden
Osborne had Sis, 663 and some odd cents in

He became noted for miserliness. Recently
his health broke Town and he sold his planta-
ton for 800, 900 last July.
Then he came to this city, en- route to Ire
land. whittier he was going for the benefit Of
his health. incidentally he meant to buy
some land in the old dart and pass the re-
msinder of his days there, if he saw any place
to suit him.
He was found intoxicated in o city street
and astonished the police. by displaying
something like SIT, 900 that he csrried about
in his clothing.
He finally went to Ireland, but finding no
place to suit him there he came back here
and arrived on the Aurania ten days ago.
He stopped at Martins Hotel, corner of
Hudson and Morton streets.
He kept to himself and no one imagined
that he was wealthy.
Policeman Lyna found him drunk in the
street and tool him 10 the Oak street sta
ton. When searched he was found to have
three five thousand dollar gold certificates, a
five hundred dollar bill, $160 in ten dollar
bills and $3.47 in change. Total, S15, 663. Al.
Besides this he had o valuable gold watch
and chain. q ~pocketbook and some papers, q
p~enknife, an old umbrella and O wel-worp

He denied being drunk and claimed that
he was paralyzed. The officers said he was
paralyzed, indeed.

Warden Osborne will take care of him until
