Kearney avenue, near jackson avenue.
Mr.. Mitchell had been driving over ON
Staten Island. With his lady friend,
Miss Mary Foster, he was seated in his
buggy on board the ferryboat, crossing to
Bergen Point.

When about mid-stream his attention
was attracted by cries Of 'sHelpl' the
rush of deck hands to the boats side, and
the noise of the boats bells and whistles.

stern and at some distance away
woman's scream came floating through
the darkness and rang in the ears of the
twenty or thirty passengers who mad
rushed to the after deck
Mr.. Mitchell had jumped from his
buggy In a moment his coat, vest and
hat were lying On the deck, and he had
plunged into the swift moving current

He had been disabled by being struck

existence among the upper crusts of
society.

Mr.. Mitchell Immediately looked after
himself as soon as his brave act of hero
ism had been performed. His card was
asked for, and he gave it. But he did not

of No. so Gregory street, and Thomas Con-
molly, aged fifty-six years, of No. 1923
Grand street, were arraigned before JUS
tice Stilsing this morning, charged by
Policeman Kelly with disorderly conduct.
The policeman said that they were
fighting on Grand street yesterday. Con-
molly had Kelly down, and was hitting
him about the head when Kelly came up
and arrested them.
The policeman produced Patrick Con-
roy, a consequential individual, who
kissed the book with q rousing smack,
and took his seat in the witness chair with
the air of a man who was about to divulge
some weighty matter.
In a very impressive manner and rich
brogue he said that he saw the two men
arguing, and he went across the street to
see what it was about.
When | got there" he said impress
sively, II saw it wuz gettin' serious and
just walked away"
And is that all you know about it?"
asked his Honor in disgust.
Yis, sor," replied Mr.. Conroy, and he
was excused from testifying further.
Kelly had black eye and was other
wise badly punished, so he was dis
charged, while Connolly was fined $40.
