cedes the common law and is the exclusive

Recorder Smyth carried downtown this

as to Mr.. DeLancey's complaint against Jay
Gould and Russell Sage.
1t was twenty-five pages long, and every

Sage and District-Attorney Fellows to leap
with Joy.
In it the learned Recorder deliberately
states the facts alleged In the complaint, the
result Of the examination had thereon before
the Grand Jury, the charge made by Judge
Cowing, and the decision rendered, and then
in stately terms he concludes to deny the
application by Col. Fellows for permission to
resubmit the case to another Grand Jury.
The Recorder says In part " l am unable
to convince myself that there should be a re-
submission of this case. Further, the Dis
trict-Attorney has frankly stated to me that

by Judge Cowing and that he could present

Phenomenaliy Quick Work by the Model
Firemen In the "still Alarm"

Firenen In the "Still Alarm.0
There was an element Of unusual interest
in the performance Of the still Alarm " at
the Fourteenth Street Theatre last evening.
AS every one knows, the most thrilling scene
in the play is the e~ngine-house scene in the
third act.
The lightning speed with which the horses
are hitched to the truck has fascinated
crowded audiences for many consecutive
weeks, and the spectacle has been no unim-
portant factor in the phenomenal success Of
the play.
A great deal Of discussion has taken place
as to the exact time taken up in the evolu-
tions, and last evening Manager Rosenauest
gave a number of interested persons an OPP
portunity of viewing the scene from the
stage.
Everything was lone to perfection. The
" still alarm came in the dead of night,
when all the men were fast asleep. The gong
was struck, the horses plunged from their
stalls and the men hurried down from their
cots. From the time the alarm was received
to the moment when the horses were hitched
up and all was ready for the start it was just
six seconds, an unprecedented rate of speed.
There was q full house i'll spite of the
storm, and those invited to witness the dis
play were highly gratified.

William Schweers, q German carpenter,
forty-six years old, hanged himself in his
workshop in the cellar of 173 Elizabeth
street, opposite his home, early this morn
ing.
Schweers was addicted to drink and the
liquor affected his brain, making him subject
to fits. Two years ago in such a fit he fell
from a five-story building. Two months ago
in another tit he fell down two flights Of
stairs, and two weeks ago in a third fit he fell
off q stoop in Mott street.
In nearly every instance he was injured
about the head and his brain was still more
affected. After a spree last July he was for
fourteen weeks in an insane asylum. After
his last fall he said to his wife -" am too
bad a man to be killed, l will have to be my
own e%xecutioner yet"
He had been drinking for q week. He
promised another carpenter named Koock

mitted suicide.
