WHO IS MORTIMER EMERSON ?
He Was Knocked SenseIess in a
Dispute About a Woman.

The name OF Mortimer Emerson is entered
among the list OF patients at the New FORK
Hospital this morning, and thereby hangs Q
tale of mystery. a strange assault in the dark
and hnally the sudden disappearance Of Emer-
son himself.
There Is woman in the case. and she was
the cause OF Emersons black eye and severe
confusion over 1t.
Emerson was brought to the New York Hos
piIsl, unconscious, by Policeman McGovern,
OF the Thirtieth street station. about o O'Clock
last night. The ofIicer found him lying on the
sidewalk on Sixteenth street, near Seventh
avenue.
McGovern was told that Emerson and two
men were in q cab together. The cab came to
q halt near where the assault occurred. Angry
words were heard The two strangers accused
Emerson ofhaving circulated malicious reports
about n lady. Emerson was heard to give
them the lie, then the door Of the cab lew
open, Emerson came out, head nrst, falling
violently against the curb.
Then the cab door smut with bang. A head
was stuck out OF the window and O voice cried
"Drive on.
When McGovern arrived on the scene there
was only Emerson, bleeding aud senseless on
the pavement and no arrests were made.
At the hospital, whore he revived. Emerson
said that he was . clerk, living at 149 IVES,
Sixteenth street He said he knew who as
saulted him, but refused to state the names oil
his assailsnis or TO talk about the AFFAIR.
He insisted on being discharged at 5 O'Clock
this morning, against the advIce of the house
| surgeon, who considered his condition serious.
Az he was not prisoner, however, he was al
lowed 10 depart.
At lao West sixteenth street Emerson 10 not
known. Neither Is his name In the dire ectory.
The police think that the man gave fictitious
name to conceal q scandal in high life. His
appearance indicated q man OF fashion and
wealth, and II he is clerk, he is high aalaried
one. He was good looking, richly dressed aud
had costly tewelry on his person. HIS age he
gave as twenty-five, and his nation ality the
United States.
When he left tho hospital he turned up his
| coat collar and pulled his hat down over his
forehead to hide his face. He walked east on
Fifteenth street and disappeared around the
corner on Fifth avenue.

A rather interesting ten-round contest took
place last night at Knickerbocker Garden,
Hoboken, between Dan Egan, the Montana
Kid, and Frank Cavanah, OF Newark. The
puRihsta, with party of two or three hundred
sporting men came on IRON Newark in special
train. In order TO pull the neht OF without
police interference It was advertised as ten
round 90, but It was thoroughly understood
tha, 1t was TO be to finish. They only fought
teu rounds, however, ~ the police captain
jumped into the ring at this stage OF the game,
and refused to allow them TO light any longer.
Cavanah WAS not knocked out, but lie was so
near It tnat he could not possibly have lasted
another round. Egan was declared the
winner, as he had everything mis- own
way, and would have knocked his man
out on a half dozen different occasions had IL
not been for his dropping down TO avoid
punishment The only real good blow
Cavsnah dealt Egan was In the seventh round,
when he landed chance swinging right
handed blow full on the "Kld's" nose. II com.

freely. In his bewiidermeat he put his hand

IT CLOSES. TOO BARLY.

The success OF the flower market is all
that was expected. There is no reason
why 1t should not become as charming a
feature in the list of city attractions as are
the flower mars of Paris and London.
But there is one obvious improvement
which should be made ut once. IL should
be kept open all day, or at least all tho
morning. -.--.. .-...-r
There are thousands OF people who lose
the glowing mass OF color which freshens
Union Square in the gray morning. thou
sands whose souls are not quickened by
the rich. perfume. charging the cool air with
heavy odors. Why should not good no
simple, benefit so free, reach as many as
possiblep
Crowds Of children play about the square.
What healthier object lesson In beauty
could these little ones have than from the
howery treasures set forth by the florists
But children and women are not abroad at
seven in the morning.
Therefore, let the flower market be open
the whole day, or at least till noon. There
is not grain of reasonable objection to 1t.
There are scores OF reasons for 1t. 1t helps
the florist, pleases, educates and reflnes
the people, and 1t will give greater stability
and scope to this admirable institution. All
