MAX KRONHEIM'S HARD LUCK
FOUND WANDERING WEAK AND BEWIL-
DERED IN THE STREET.

A Young German of Good Family Who Can
not Account for His Copditon-He II
Identified by Mr.. TbnImessinser, Of the
Merchants and Traders Bnnk-Taken to
Bellevue Hospital Under Restraint.
Max Kronheim, q young German who has
been only fifteen days in this country, has
started on a train of singularly unpleasant
experiences. He is at present in Bellevue
Hospital, where several physicians have pro-
nounced him insane and others are still con-
sidering his case.
Kronheim is twenty-one years of age. He
is rather fashily dressed. He is n cookbook
ing and we'll built fellow, and he wears a
beard of the yandyke pattern. He appeared
at the Belyedere Hotel, Feb. 4, and registered
as "Kronheim, Buenos Aires, Republica
Argentina" After staying several days at
the hotel, he told the clerk one morning that
he was going to move uptown, and that he
would call for his trunk and pay his bill.
Instead of doing this, he returned to the
Belvedere, took his former room and re-
manned there until Tuesday afternoon of this
week.
Yesterday morning early Kronheim was
found wandering, weak aud bewildered, in
front of las East Fifteenth street. He was
taken into the hallway there while an ambu-
lance was sent for. He had lost his overcoat.
his watch and whatever money that he had
possessed. Up to this time he has refused to
tell how his loss came about, or to say any
thing of his doings and adventures since he
left Germany.
He said to the ambulance surgeon that he
had friends at 1853 Bowery, which is the Me-
chanics and Traders Bank, and thither he
was taken hat some particulars concerning
him might be learned. His friend there
proved to be Meyer Thalnessinger, Presi,
dent of the bank, to whom he had letters of
introduction.
Mr.. Thalmessinger said that he knew of
Kronheim's people in Germany, and that
While waiting to see Mr.. Thalmessinger,
Kronheim became violent. Police assistance
was required to keep him from running
away. He was ut length quieted and taken
to the hospital.
His trunk remains at the Belvedere. The
hospital record has him set down as q book
keeper.

FROZE THE BODY FOR SHIPMENT.
Two Brooklyn Physicians Charged with
Violating the Laws.

Health Counsel Baldwin F. Stauss and
Officer Grant, of Brooklyn, preferred
charges of violating the sanitary laws and
the laws of the State against DIR. Lucy Hall
and DIR. Washington I. Thayer, in Justice
Walsh's Court, in Brooklyn, this morning.
Mrs. Charles w. Rogers, ir., of 452 Tenth
street, Brooklyn, gave birth to a still-born
child on Feb. s. Her husband left the body
of the child in a cold room until it froze, and
then shipped it by express to his father in
Baltimore.
1t is said that DIR. Lucy Hall, who attended
Mrs. Rogers, suggested that the child's body
be frozen for shipment to Baltimore, rs there
was no more harm in it than in freezing q
chicken. DR.. Thayer, it is understood. sug-
gested tho matter to DR.. Lucy Hall. He is
willing to take his share of the responsibility.
EX-Health COMMISSIONS Raymond as
serted that the charge against the physicians
was frivolous. Upon his application the case
was adjourned for IA week.

hud taken place.

A BAD OUTLOOK FOR TOM GOULD.

Judge Barrett May Fine Him and Send Him
to Prison for Contempt.
Tom Gould will have to face Judge Barrett
Tomorrow. There is every reason to suppose
that he will be fined heavily for contempt of
court and also sent to prison.
He had to pay a money penalty not long
ago for running his establishment on West
Thirty first street in defiance of an injunc-
ton. He is now accused of a second viola
ton of the injunction.
1t is said that Judge Barrett is incensed at
Gould's violation of his promise, and that he
means to inflict the full penalty of the law in
contempt of court proceedings.
There was q rumor at the Sheriff's Office
this afternoon hat Gould had his overcoat
pockets bullying out with doctors certificates
regarding his health.

Hundreds of their friends thronged to
Irving Hall that evening, the gentlemen in

full evening dress. The host and hostess ell
tered the hall to the enlivening strains of a

the happy feeling aroused by the occasion,
seemed to communicate their joyous senti.
ments to the rest of the assembly, and every
body was beaming good-naturedly on his
neighbor, and there was q buzz of lively
talk.
OF course, it was an occasion when speeches
we're in order, speeches of felicitation to the
husband and wife, and pleasant references to
the beautiful example presented by them of
a serene and happy union through so many
years.
1t fell to my lot to be among the speech
makers. With such n jolly crowd and so

drawn us all together it was not as difficult a
task to make a speech as it is at times, and
was going through the ordeal without much

much annoyance to my auditors. l had
