HURLED A T0M-CAT AT HER.
AND MRS. BECK is NOW IN ADYING con-
DITION FROM THE BLOW.

Young Adesky Was Drowning Cats and She
demonstrated with IIim-He struck Her
ON the Head with n Cat and Brain Fever
MT Once Set In-She Is Likely to Die.
Hester street is not the most lovely thor
oughfare of New York City, but it is full of
l.fe and activity. Cheap vegetables, poor
fruit, humble delicacies and poverty stricken
people are the most salient features of this
charming street.
Also cats!
Young cats, old cats, white cats, black
cats, the demure kitten. the domestic ma
ternal feline and the lusty, uncomfortable
Thomas. They are all there in great degree.
AT 8 Hester street. on the second floor. in a
dark, dingy room, n woman verging on sixty
lay this morning in u precarious condition.
She was clad in a white smock, open ut the
top, showing her long neck; her gray locks
streamed past her dull, glazing eyes around
her high cheek-bones. and her jaw was fallen
as she breathed heavily. On her left temple
was tue slate-colored mark of o bruise. On
tor. OF her head was a round bladder filled
with cracked ice.
In the adjoining room was her old hus-
band, who looked, with his gray. patriarchal
beard as it he had stravcd to Hester street
out of the book of Leviticus. On the table
was II well-thumbed book lying open. Half
a dozen boys were in the room.
The old woman WIS Mrs. Eidel Beck, aud
she is suffering from inflammation Of the
brain, brought on by having u large live tom
cat hurled at her head by the son of Mrs.
Adesky, who lives in the rear tenement of the
house where the Becks have their rooms.
The bousekeeper, Mrs. Sara Harris, told
TIL EVENING WORLD reporter that she WAS
:" out with the dog" last Saturday, and when
she came in she found Mrs. Beck and Mrs.
Adesky engaged in a violent alteration.
After this the Adesky boy WINS amusing
himself with drowning a few of the superiu-
GUS cats in the nelghborhood. Mrs. Reck
was on the back veranda - taking the ar v
which circulated in Il feeble way IN the little
court, in the middle of which was the usual
cabinet d~'disdnCe which is found in all low
tenement houses.
Being somewhat lender hearted, Mrs. Beck
demonstrated with the Adesky boy for his
cruelty. Ihereupon the boy, iii wrath, util-
lied one of his stock of condemned cats. n
large tomcat, as q weapon, and grasplng IT in
his hands hurled it with fatal accuracy at
Mrs. Beck's head.
This is u novel use for the tomcat. II has
long figured in fact and in story as the target
for missiles, but Its capacity as q missile itself
has never before been tested.
In the hands of young Adesky it proved an
immense success. Mrs. Beck was knocked
down, and when she rallied a little from the
shock tottered upstairs, fell faintlng on the
floor and his been unable to speak or move
since.
DIR. Ludwig Cohn thinks a blood vessel in
her head was ruptured, and it is doubtful if
she will recover.

There are many curious people in the

They are ~recluses and religious enthusiasts.

wrapped it in n rag, and on the second day 1

He and his daughter expect to live always in

They eschew eggs because they are animal,

WHO WILL PAY REILLY'S EXPENSES.

The escape from Detective-Sergt. Phil Reilly
of William A. Bushnell, the absconding clerk of
the law firm of Butler, Stillman & Hubbard,
which was announced from Lima, Peru, yester-
day, caused considerable excitement about
Police Headquarters this morning and espe-
cially in the Detective Bureau.
Inspector ByrneS is away OH vacation and will
not return for Il week or 30. In his absence
there Is no one that will, Orcan, talk upon the sub

ton had been received, and therefore the details
of the escape are not yet knOwn.
Detective Reilly has now been away on the
mission about eight months, and the expense
entailed i'll the case run up into the thousands.
One informant says that this is borne entirely
by the firm who sent after the fugitive; that the
detective has been granted leave of absence
without pay, and all his expenses are paid by
the law firm.
On the other hand, it is said in the Detective
Bureau that Reilly IL away on special dnty.'

" Isn't the matter of likes and dislikes a

What was his Nance" asked Dido, break
The evening world., 1889-07-25

Dido became silent. as Richard was intent
on his own thoughts.
Tolman Bike was the name Of the man who
was to marry Clara Chamberlain.
Tolman Bike was also the name of the
employer of Lucille and Maggie Williams
and Dido Morgan
Tolman Bike, Miss Chamberlain's fance,
was the proprietor of n downtown factory,
50 it must be one and the same man.
Well, and if so could it be possible that
Tolman Bike, the man who was engaged to
marry IA bankers daughter, could have been
III love with Lucille Williams, a poor stenog-
rapher, and persuaded her to leave her home
for him?
Richard was q young man, and the idea was
not a surprising one TO him. According to
what he could learn, the dark haired stenog-
rapher was fond of the things she could little
afford TO possess, and it was likely that her
employer, knowing her desires, made it pos
sib,e for her to crafty them.
Now that he was 10 marry, he would not be
likely to hold out any inducement for the
girl to stay with him, and if they should hap
pen across her now it was possible that she
would gladly return to the humble home of
her sister.
Still, supposing Tolmau Blk had found
no attraction for him in the stenographer?
1t was n very delicate thing to handle consid-
cring thnt Richards knowledge was mostly
superstition.
" DO YOU think that Maggie's sister really
worked those nights she was away from
homo : " Dick asked Dido.
." She always brought extra money homo,
which proved she did" Dido replied posi-
lively.
Did she ever talk about Tolman Bike
Never, except when she mentioned that
he had dictated more work than usual, or
someth,ng of that kind.
well, I believe that ,Tolman Bike can tell
mo something about Maggie's sister, Rich
ard said. Dido looked Mt him with n smile of
doubt. IF she is not with him he can tell
mo who she is with, aud that is Just as well.

My private ~opinion-don't tell Maggie
is that she tired of her family and home md
that she took herself to better quarters and
means to keep them in ignorance of her
whereabouts fearing they would ask her to

"What were her habits Z" asked Dick.
Habits? What she did regularly? Well,
she used to go to Coney Island and Rockaway
and such places in the Summer with some
boys she met in the places she worked, but
after she got work in the offica at the factory

lated her former great triumphs to a small,
dark man. who looked proud of having cap

dark-eyed girl, with very white brow and

her eyes, and very, very golden hair, who
smiled and chatted with an insipid- looking
man with a villains mustache, enormo

BIG JOHN HATCH DIES OF A RARE DISEASE

kwellcd aud Chokcd the Windpipc-A
Week Of Agony Ending In Death.
A death under very singular circumstances
was reported by tho Bellevue Hospital
authorities to-day. Tho victim was John
Hatch, a stalwart laborer, forty years old.
IN July II he went to the Demilt Dis
pensary, corner of Twenty-third street, and
had an aching tooth pulled out.
The next day his neck began to swell, md
it bad swollen 30 by Saturday that it had lost
all its former proportions, and he was unable
to eat and could talk only with great diff
Guilty. He began TO think that the swelling
WINS serious. and went to the Demilt Dlspen-
sary, where N attendant sent him to
Bellevue.
He arrived at 6 o'clock in the evening. At
7 O'Clock DIR. A.. j. White found him ut the
point of sun location from the swelling of the
CLOTHS. To prevent the patient from suffocrt-
ing AN opening was made i'll his windpipe.
and his life was thus prolonged.
DIR. White found that Hatch WINS suffering
from a rare and almost always fatal disease
known ms Ludwig's angina, because 1t was
first described as n distinctive disease by DR..
LUdwig. 1t is n rapid and virulcnt inflam-
III tion of the deep seated tissues of the neck.
Sometimes 1t is caused by the pulling Of a
tooth, hut IT may he caused by any irritation
in or injury TO the mouth. Many cases of
Ludwlg's angina have been described in
medical history, yet the disease is so rare
that DIR. White says II Is only the second case
known.
Hatch fingered through the night in great
suffering, breathing through the aperture in
his windpipe, and died from exhaustion
caused by his sutferlngs early Yesterday
morning. After death i'm examination was
made of his mouth and 1t wa found that his
jawbone had not been broken by the pulling
of the tooth.
Hatch left a widow and some little children
who live in No. 4l6 East Eighteenth street.
