MATHEWS STRANGE SICKNESS.
He is Found In a COmatose Condition
No Explanation at Hand.


Henry Mathews, a guest at the Y. u.
clearinghouse, on South Second, between
Yesler avenue and Washington street, is
lying in his room in q comatose condition,
and last evening the physicians could not
tell what was the cause.
Mathews came in about II O'Clock Mon
day night and registered, paying so cents
for a room. He retired Immediately, and
at o'clock last evening, as he had not
arisen. the proprietor of the house tried to
call him up. No response was made TO
repeated rappings at the door, which was
locked, and entrance to the room was
gained over the transom. The door was
unlocked from the inside, and when the
proprietor and clerk entered they found
Mathews in bed, in an apparently dying
condition.
DIR. Heliker, assistant city physician,
and Coroner Horton were at once sum-
moned. The latter was informed that the
man was dead, and ordered the undertaken
to the lodging-house to get the corpse. The
two doctors and the undertaken with his
box reached the place about the same time.
but the services of the latter were not re-
CURED, as Mathews was still alive.
The physicians found him in a thorough
w comatose condition, and could not
arouse him from it. There We're no traces
of any attempt at suicide and nothing
could be extracted from his stomach. At
a late hour lass night he seemed to be i'm
proving. as he would occasionally open his
eyes, but he was still unable to move or
converse.
Mathews, who is a stranger at the house.
is well dressed man about forty-fIye
years of age. There are no papers or doc
umeuts to be found in his clothing that
would throw any light upon his identity.
The physicians were completely puzzled
and unable to state what were his pros
poets of recovery.

AND NOW THE WOMAN TALKS.
Mrs. Ball Answers the Allegations of
Her Husband,

The sensational divorce case of Frank J..
Ball against Dora +. Bali again came to
the front yesterday on the filing of cross
complaint and petition for divorce by Dora
Ball, the defendant. Last week Frank Bal
sued for divorce, alleging in his petition
that his wife deserted him on July 10 and
treated him so cruelty that life to him has
become burden. He said that she abused
him. used profane language, and villitied
him by charging him with being drunk
ard and frequenter of low houses.
Yesterday Dora Bali filed her answer
and cross-compIaint. in which she charges
her husband with being an habitual drunk
ard and frequenter of saloons and houses
of i'll repute, and that he spends all of his
time and money at these places and is a
total wreck morally, mentally and physic-
ally. She began an action for divorce IN
July and reeited the same grounds, but for
some unknown reason withdrew her COM
plaint and abandoned the suit.
Both parents want the care and custody
of their little 2-year-old daughter Vera, the
only connecting link between the estranged
and embittered man and wife. Frank Ball
petitioDed the court to issue an attach
ment for the child, on the grounds that
Dora Bell was about to take her out Of the
state. but none has been issued, and the
child is still with her mother.

THE SYNDICATE BOUNCED HIM.
Cause Of an Ex-Brewery Drummer's
Suit for Damages.

Claussen-Sweeney Brewing Company
was sued yesterday in the superior court
by Herman I. Heller, through his attor-
ney, Colonel Charles I'll. Fishback, for
$6,515.40. On July 8, according TO Heller's
statement, he was employed by the brew
ing company as solicitor and travelling
statesmen, at salary of 5000 per annum
and all expenses, and was to have had the
salary increased at the expiration of the
years contract and also bonus. But
after only three months work with the
company the brewery passed under con-
troll of the English syndicate and Heller
was discharged. He claims that there was
no reason for his discharge except that his
services were no longer required under the
new management, but the brewing COM
pany claimed that Heller had not been a
success as salesman and was therefore of
no use to it.
Heller got employment with the Bruins
wick-Balke Billiard Company ON leaving
the brewing company, but his salary is
only $125 per month, so he sues for
$l,5l5.40 as the balance due him ON his
years contract with the Claussen-Sweeney
company, and for -, 600 damages for hav-
ing been discharged and the consequent
injury to his reputation as a business man.
He says he left q lucrative and permanent
position TO accept the place with the Claus
sen-Sweeney company and was then earn
ing $i0o q month more than at present.

heavy Sentences and Fines Scare Away
Its Female Inhabitants.

heavy sentences and Fines Scare Away
Its Female Inhabitants.
Thirty more women were taken before
police Judge Rivers yesterday and were
fined $40 each for living disreputlble lives.
1t IS the regular custom of the police force
to once month compel all such women to
pay into the city treasury fine of $40, and
this month the work of gathering in the
women has fallen on Lieutenant Temple
ton OF the First patrol. He reports that at
least 500 women subject to such fine are
now in the city, but owing to their evading
the officers, it will be impossible to collect
the fine from them ALL
A few months ago Whitechapel con-
tanned nearly 200 women, now there are
scarcely one-fourth that number in the en-
tire quarter. The depopulation is due to
several causes, the principal one being the
quarantine" which was placed on that
district by the chief of police shortly be-
fore the last city election. Although
Whitechapel is but little better guarded
now than before the temporary stringent
measures were taken. the women have not
returned, but instead continue to leave.
Many of them lived in the infested quarter
for the sole purpose of plumber and rob-
berry, but the sending away of thirty-four
men TO the state penitentiary within the
past four months has had it's wholesome
effect, and the male accomplices of the fe-
male thieves have sought more genial
chimes in which to ply their vecations.
This class of women have followed in the
wake OF their male companions, and
many of the class that are now left COM
plain of the monthly $40 fine and denounce
II as an imposition, and they too are leav-
ing. From present appearances it would
seem that before many days the much
talked of Seattle Whitechapel will have
passed into history. The glory of that
quarter presented few months ago,
with its hundreds of women and scores of
men in low dives, dancing to the strains
of horse fiddle and an old banjo; and
the wiley pickpocket and blood-thirsty
garroter, waiting until the victim has lost
his senses in the flowing bowl, will pass
into history.
