WILLIAM GREER's VAGARIEs.
Not Allowed to Die, He Takes Life To
Merrily.

Not Allowed to Die, He Takes Life Too
Merrily.
William Greer, the well known butcher
who lives at No. 135 Palisade avenue,
found Sunday an eventful day. In
some unknown manner he succeeded
in wandering to the Erie Rail
road when Edward Mccormick
a night watchman, heard him ask
when the first train would pass. 1t was
nearly three O'Clock in the morning and
noticing Greer's condition Mccormick
followed him. Greer went to the tracks
of the passenger trains and quietly seated
himself III a place where death would be
certain, remarking that he was tired of
his world and would try another.
Mccormick concluded that although
he looked unfit for even this portion Of
this mundane sphere Greer was certainly
more unfit for heaven, and he dragged
him from the tracks. Greer then meand-
cred on both sidewalks at once, taking up
at the same time large section of the
street until he reached the park. There
he saw Policeman Lowery drinking some
milk from can and he yelled at him.
Policeman Moore was near by, and he
resented the insult to Lowery, and to-
gether they ran him in. This morning
Justice Stilsing adjourned his examina-

The Shocking Plight of New York Girl
Drink the Cause.
Policeman Brennan, of the Sixth pre-
cinct, about half-past eleven a'clock, last
evening, saw woman lying in the va
cant lots at North street and Sherman
avenue. She was hatless, and her right
eye was blackened Though the rain was
beating in her face, she seemed uncon-
sclous of her position. Brennan tried to
arouse her. but failed. Then he carried
her to an adjacent house. and after
placing her in charge of the people there
went to the station house and summoned
the City Hospital ambulance. When it
arrived they lifted the woman into it and
drove to the police station, where she was
aroused sufficiently to give her name
as Lizzie Lee, of No. 1856 East Fifteenth
street. New York. Nothing more could
be learned from her. She seemed
to be about twenty eight years
of age, of trim form and
dressed in the ordinary attire of a work
ing girl The police believed the woman
had been visiting the Schuetzen ParK,
and in walking home had been attacked
either by a companion or some one who
had followed her from the park, and made
the victim of an assault.
This morning Detective McNally visited
the hospital and saw the woman. He
said ne saw her at the elevator station on
the Heights yesterday afternoon. She
was then quite drunk and fell part of the
way down the elevator stairs, bruising
her face.
At the hospital this morning the War
den said the woman was not suffering
from the results of an assault, but was
merely dead drunk when brought to the
hospital. The Warden believed she
was one of the FOUNDERS who hocked to
the park yesterday She was with
man; whose name is not known, in the
park He became involved in q fight and
She attempted to find her way to New
York alone, but wandered into the lots,

FAMILY LIKENESsES.

Harmonious Companionship Said to
Make People Resemble Each other.
Some curious Investigations have re-
Gently been undertaken by a photo
graphic society in Geneva. The purpose
was to show that the longer married
couple lived together, we apprehend har-
moniously, the more and more marked
became the resemblance which the two
persons bore to each other. Photographs
Of seventy-eight old couples were taken,
as well as of an equal number of adult
brothers and sisters. On careful inspec-
tion it was found that the married cou-
pier were more like each other than the
brothers and sisters of the same blood
Apparently, therefore, there seems to be
a staonger force available for the produe-
tion of family hkenesses' even than
that Of hereditary transmission.
In accepting the statement of the So
ciety in question as true as to fact. and
not regarding it as the outcome of an at
tempt TO make practice and theory meet,
