DEAD BELOW THE SHOULDERS.
Gordon's Neck Was Broken by a
Fall Of Four Stories.

Joseph Gordon fell four stories to the ground
and broke his neck, and the fact that he is yet
alive makes his case a remarkable one.
Gordon Is a carpenter, and he was employed
on building at Rutgers place. He was
working on the fourth story when he fell, sus-
tanning, besides the fracture OF the neck, Sc
we're internal injuries and a fracture OF both
forearms.
When the doctors at Gouverneur Hospital,
where he was taken, announced that his neck
was fractured the news was carried to his
wife, who, sharing the popular belief that a
broken neck means sure death, mourned her
husband as lost.
At the hospital she was told, however, that
Gordon was not only alive, but conscious. A
superficial examination showed that the In
jury consisted Of a fracture between the third
and fourth vertebre.
This morning House Surgeon Donohue and
his stan will perform an operation, which, If
alton is something like trepanning, and is
called exploring the spine.
That part OF the body below the fracture is
completely paralyZed-in fact, 1t may be said
that below the third vertebre Joseph Gordon
is dead. He has no feeling whatever there. A
pin stuck into the flesh would not be felt by
him, whereas he complains Of great pain In
the arms and shoulders.
DR.. DOnahue said that there were not many
cases on record where persons lived with a
broken neck. GOrdOn's was an exception to
the rule. The victims usually die.
"Gordon is resting easy this morning. He
may recover, and may not live two weeks"
said DR.. Donahue to an EVENING WORLD re-
porter.
Gordon is twenty-six years old. His wife
and two children live at Suffolk street. He

MURDERED BY RAGP|CKERs.
Young Farmer Davern's Body
Found on the Roadside.
rsprc1Ar, TO THE EVENING worLp.r

RED BANK, N. j., Aug 29.-Thomas Davern,
young farmer living at Headdens Corner, q
small hamlet three miles north OF this place,
lies murdered and the men who killed him
are fugitives-
The murderer was one Of a band Of Italian
ragpickers who live in shanties at a secluded
spot on Bridge avenue near the river.
Davern came to Redbank last night to sell a
wagon load of his farm produce, being accom-
panied by friend, John Simpson.
On the way home the men stopped in front
OF the Italian colony and Davern got out to
make an inquiry.
Some OF the pickers were having wrestling
matches among themselves, and Davern, who
was muscular young man, offered to wrestle
with any one OF them.
The Italians, according to Simpsons story,
closed in on him, and then Davern was seen TO
run away, pursued by the whole band OF rag
pickers.
He ran up the avenue, turning the corner
OF Prospect street. Simpson says that after
Davern turned the corner the Italians came
running towards him, one OF them got the
horse by the head, and another attempted to
get into the wagon. Simpson, however,
whipped up his horse and got away from them
Davern's dead body was discovered about
IL o'clock on Riverside avenue about one
hundred yards from the Italian colony. The
body reclined against tree, with the feet to-
wards the sidewalk.
A cash two inches wide and three inches
deep was discovered In the leg, an artery hav-
ing been severed.
Blood stains were traced from the spot to
the corner OF Prospect street and Bridge
avenue.
Chief OF Police James Walsh was not in
formed OF the murder until this morning, and
he and his assistants are working hard to Sc
cure the arrest OF the murderer.
1t is said that the male members OF the
Italian colony left town early this morning,
some by boat and others by train. The New
York police have been notified
An Italian, giving his name as Michael
Drut, was arrested in Jersey City this morn
ing by Pennsylvania Railroad Detective Nor
rfs on the arrival OF the Long Branch train,
on suspicion OF being the person wanted for
the murder at Red Bank.
The arrest was made on authority OF tele-
gram received from the Chief OF Police OF Red
Bank giving description OF the man wanted,
which the man arrested fully answers.
Drut was committed TO await ldentinca-
tion by the Red Bank authorities.
The prisoner was accompanied by his wife
and daughter, a girl of about ten years
There was blood on his hands and in his
pocket was huge clasp-knite with bloody
blade.
He would make no statement. He is stall
wart, with black hair and eyes, and is de-
Gently dressed in black. His wife and child
followed him to Police Headquarters crying
and wringing their hands.

Siegfrled Zarek, at the corner OF Rivington
street, said:
ave don't get clean streets because the

sheriff street,
There is a suggestion of law and order in
the name one reads on the corner lamp-post,
and the neighborhood is quiet one. This
old thoroughfare is SO far out on "the Hook :
that It is a thoroughfare to nowhere. Few
teams haul their heavy trucks through Sheriff
street. 1t is a local street, and has no tran
silent throng jostling on Its pavements.
A quiet street, where live the working peo-
pie of big town, as the big buildings on
either hand indicate.
one might think that Sheriff street, free
from dirt-bestrewing trafnc, ought to be
clean-but 1t isn't.
Like it's neighbors an either side, like SEEM
ingly all the other $treets of the metrop-
oils, Sheriff street IL neglected and forlorn.
1t runs from Grand to Houston street, and
looking north from Grand street the sight is
one to make the proud New Yorker weep.
The street is a narrow one, and its pave
ment is strewn with the debris Of a fortnights
gathering.

Mr.. Clarke, from the committee appointed
to investigate as to the needs OF the sufferers,
reported that the cases OF actual suffering
were comparatively few-about one In five.
There was quite a number Of cases, how
ever, which demanded immediate relief.
II was suggested by Mayor Grant that
another meeting be held Monday morning
next, when full list OF the sufferers be pre-
sented showing their actual circumstances,
with any change wrought in the same by the
death OF a provider, together with the income
OF the victims. The suggestion was adopted.

sPECAL MIDgUMMER DISCOUNT " E % .s. Ilr

It was irsny to say that the street was ever
clean, though few Of the inhabitants In
sheer desperation of ever getting proper
treatment from the authorities, swept and
polished the pavement before their own habi-
tations, depending on the garbage cartmen
to remove the dirt thus gathered.
"As for the garbage men-sometimes 1
think they do NOR harm than goodn said a
citizen at the corner OF Houston and sherin
streets.
"Just look at that cart |"
garbage gatherer was just passing the
corner on Houston street, bound for the
dumps. Ills cart was overloaded, and though
atarpaulin cover had been thrown over the
nasty mess, it was dropping from the tail of
the cart all over the pavement, leaving an
unsightly trail behind the retreating cart.
