SAVED THE ST. JAMES LEASE.
Capt. Corners Creditors Pay the
Rent and Take a Mortgage,
Would BE Landlords Failed to Get
Possession of the Hotel.

With the Ming OF a mortgage OF $4,000
against the leasehold OF capt. wm. NJ. Conner
In the 81. James Hotel there leaked out to-day
the story OF an attempt to supplant him In
the management OF that hostelry.
The mortgage is executed 20 Milton Rob
bins, OF Fulton Market, individually and as
trustee. Mr. Robbins is said TO be the prin-
cipal creditor OF Capt. Conner, his claim
being for an amount approximating $4,000.
He acts as trustee for the other creditors,
and the mortgage Of the leasehold is given to
secure their claims.
The st. James Hotel belongs to the pof-
ford estate, Of which until recently James l..
Spofford was trustee. He was succeeded by
Thomas W. Pearsall and Everett P. Wheeler,
ana Aug. 8, soon after their succession TO the
management OF the estate, Capt. ConDor was
served with papers in proceedings TO dis
possess him for non-payment OF $50, 1000
rent.
The new trustees assorted that they simply
desired to collect the money due the estate
but IL sad that other men were making
arrangements to take charge Of the st. James
Hotel, believing that Capt. Conner would be
unable TO pay the rent demanded.
r. o; RiddioS, newspaper writer, is said to
have been one OF these prospective pro-
prietors, and to have associated with him
Landlord Henry Walter, Of the Albemarle.
When the creditors OF Capt. Conner found
their security, which is the leasehold OF the
st. James's property, threatened, they ad-
Vanced the necessary money TO pay the rent,
accepted the mortgage already noted and the
expiration OF Mr.. Conner's lease, April 80,

LOOKS LIKE A GARBAGE DUMP.

"The old Seventh Ward" is spoken of
reverently by aged New Workers.. 1t was less
than half a century ago that the aristocracy
Of the city had its abiding place here. Many
an old family still remains In the fine old
white-portalled mansions OF thoseHdays, but
between and on every side tall fiat houses
and tenements have reared themselves and
young New York has settled here by the tens
Of thousands.
But what must the spirit OF old Mayor West

neglected condition OF the streets he used to
tread away back in the fortiesr

by the foul odors that arise from the accumu-
latiOns Of rubbish, garbage and debris Of all
kinds on the paved road from Chambers street
to the East River.
Michael Smith, standing in the doorway OF
the six story four-in-hand tenement at ITO,
said to an EVENING WORLD representative
yesterday:
"Sure, the Street Cleaning Department
comes through Madison street once in two
weeks, and it's like this most of the time"
Like this" meant in a distressingly filthy
condition, and MIR. Smith pointed out two old
paint kettles in the middle OF the street that
had been undisturbed since Wednesday week

Gerry at Ill, said she didn't believe the street

notice 1t II the nastiness was ever abated.

STARRED IN A FIsTIC DRAMA.
Actor Travers's Engagement Was
Brief and Improbable.

There was vacancy in Fanny Davenport's
company when It met for rehearsal this
morning at the Standard Theatre.
Charles Travers, who used to do the Sergius
role in Fedora" was the missing Thespian.
He couldn't NIL his part at the rehearsal
simply because he was playing star engage
ment before Justice Hogan in the Jefferson
Market Police Court. Charles had the centre
of the judicial stage all TO himself.
He was the heavy villain OF piece, the
firNt act OF which was given yesterday even
ing, the scene OF action being in Minnott's
saloon, at 400 Sixth avenue.
Another actor whose patronymic is WILL
lam A. Paul, at present sat liberty" shared a
portion OF the honors last night, when he and
Travers collided in Minnott's place.
Paul had, according TO all accounts, been
drinking pretty steadily all day. He said he
would as lief night as sing, and he started in
to do both. Immediately he INDUCED In
sarcasm directed against Travers.
Now, TraVers, who is six feet long and
gamly, demurred 30 stoutly that Paul grabbed

il was then that Trayers stretched hIs Hight HI

He was lald out SenSeless and An ambu-

When Justice Hogan heard all this and

let him Identity bis assailant and tell his
story. 80 that II he should die the authorities

Travers admits slugging Paul, but says
that his jaw must have struck against some
thing when he fell.

MAKING THE TUNNEL SAFER.
Plans for Ventilation and I'm
proved Signalling Adopted.
The Hood System for Carrying or
Smoke and Clnders VIII Ba Tried.

II is announced to-day that the New York
Central Railroad Company's ofllcials have de-
cided upon plans TO reduce the possibility Of
accident in the Fourth Avenue Tunnel TO a
minimum. This course is in obedience to
the suggestions OF the railroad Commission
ers, made In accordance with the law upon
the subject urged to passage by THE EVENING
WORLD at the last session OF the Legislature.
The plans comprise extensive improve
ments in the system of signalling. In addi-
tion, the matter OF ventilation OF the tunnel
without which, AZ The EVENING WORLD has
repeatedly pointed out, no signals can be
adoQuate-has been the subject OF much
study, with the result that the plan OF false
roof, or hood, OF sheet-iron next TO the arch,
with an opening just over the amokestacks OF
the engines. through which smoke and cinders
will be drawn up by strong currents OF air
forced through It by steam fans, has been
practically adopted.
This plan OF ventilation has been fully de-
scribed and illustrated in THE EVENING
WORLD.
The improvements in the signal system are
elaborate There will be separate sets OF
towers and operators for outward bound and
inward bound trains At present trains
going each way are regulated by the same
signalmen.

Edward Blair Meets Death Litor
Three ReSpitsS.
Executed in the PenitentIary at
Columbus, o.
He Kissed the Cross ana Then
Smiled Until the Trap Fell


COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 21.-Edward Blair, who
killed Arthur Henry the night Of March IL,
1890, was hanged in the penitentiary here q
few minutes arter midnight this morning.
He had been twice respited.
During the day Blair maintained q stolid
demeanor. Father Logan was with him a
short time. lie spent the afternoon with HIS
sister Laura, who had taken a deep interest
In securing another respite.
When she parted with her brother at p. \.
she had to be carried to the Warden's quar-
ters.
The comm was then brought in, in which
the body OF Blair will be sent to East Monroe
for burial.
Blair appealed to Gov. Campbell last night
for another respite, debating a long letter,
setting forth that his accomplice, Shoemaker,
who is TO have hearing, may throw snIne
light on the crime. The Governor positively
refused TO interfere.
Blair was brought on to the scafIold at 12.o7
this morning, accompanied by Father Logan,
his spiritual adviser, and the Warden and
deputies.
The work OF adjusting the straps only occu-
pied minute, and, when asked II he had any
thing TO say, he replied In the negative, OK
cept that he bade good-by 10 Manager Wat
kins, OF the Prison Board.
Blair kissed the cross before the black cap
was drawn over his face. He wore q con-
tlnuous smile from the time he came on the
scafrold till the trap fell.
The body writhed for several minutes ana
the opinion was expressed that the neck was
not broken, but that he died from strangu-
lntion.
Death came in twelve minutes and twenty
seconds.
Edward Blair led a career OF crime from
early youth. He was one Of six children
whose father Is shoemaker residing at East
Monroe, Highland County. 49,
In early life he organized gang who were
the terror OF the neighbornood Blair escaped
while convict In 1889 for robbing man
named Johnson.
Under the alias Of Joseph p. Hill he feTi In
with two crooks known as Shoemaker and
stoOps. on the night OF March IL, 1890,
they planned TO rob Arthur Henry, station
agent at harrisburg, Putnam County.
When they entered the place Blair drew hiB
revolver and ordered Henry TO open the safe,
which contained about S75. This the agent
natly refused TO do, and the refusal cost him
his life.
The murderer then escaped, and some
weeks later was captured at ParkersburR, w.
Va He was tried at the November term Of
court found guilty and sentenced TO hang
April 20, 1901. AS has been stated, he was
twice respited.
