THAT SHE SHOULD STOP TALKING
Awful Penalty Voted on . Lady
Manager by Her Colleagues.

CHICAGO. July 26.-The Board of
Lady Managers was almost precipitated
into tears by the bitter attack of one
member against one OF her sisters yes
terday afternoon.
Miss Cunningham, of South Carolina,
boldly shouted that she had been mis-
treated by the Committee on Jurors. and
in an excited way accused Mrs. Mere
dith with personal malice. She charged
that ladies' other than those she had
recommended had been appointed, and
when she cried out that the action was
with malice" a score Of women arose
and objected.
The Secretary was asked to read the
minutes that no mistake might bemade,
and when the terrible words were dis
covered Miss Cunningham was declared
out OF order.
Mrs. Palmer refused to decide whether
the words were such as to compel Miss
Cunningham to desist in her TRADE
Half an hour was spent In n hot quarrel,
during which Mrs. Ball. a member Of
the Committee, said she thought, Miss
Cunningham was largely In the right.
Anger and tears were mixed up In
about equal proportions. Mrs. Barker
said the offense was not terrible enough
to deserve public censure, but the
Board finally voted that Miss Cunning
ham should not talk any more.

HAlsTEO'S SLAYER HELD.
Green Says He Did Not Know His
Victim Had Heart Disease.
Fight Over . Canary Which Ended
in n Death.

Matthew Green, foreman of division
No. 81. of the Street t-Cleaning Depart
ment. charged with the murder Of James
Halstead, yesterday afternoon, was held
by Justice Koch. In Yorkville Police
Court, this forenoon, to await the ac-
ton of the Coroner.
Green, who Is middle-aged, big
fre med man, took things very coolly in
! court to-day. He said he was perfectly
innocent Of any intent to kill Holstead
and that 1t was a chance blow In self
defence which caused the mans death.
He exhibited a very much bruised
and swollen eye as evidence that he
was defending himself when Halstead
was killed.
The trouble was all on account of a
canary bird, whose singing qualities
were being discussed in John Kiefs
aviary at $50 First avenue.
Halstead, who was dyer. with an
establishment at 527 West One Hundred
and Twenty-ninth street. went into
Kiefs place about o'clock yesterday
afternoon, and after talking over the
relative merits of several canaries. con-
cluded to buy a little yellow bird, which
began to sing over in one corner of the
store
Just then Green, who lives at 2l3
place. Neither Of the men had ever
met before.

claimed, was slightly intoxicated.

Young Hummel says that. after Hal

out Of the store. Green followed him
and struck him a terrible blow on the
neck. Halstead pitched forward on his

car track. He was dead when bystand-

FIFTH AVENUE BLAZE.
Fierce Early Morning Fire 0ppc-
site the Waldorf
Occupants Of The House Next to
Demarests Ordered Out.
Hotel Guests SEQ . Greht Battle
with Flames.

There was big fire early this morn
ing at Fifth avenue and Thirty-third
street, across the way from the Hotel
Waldorf. which aroused the Waldorf s
guests, who watched the blaze from the
windows Of the hotel.
The fire was IN the warerooms and
salesrooms of A. T. Demarest & Co.,
manufacturers of fine carriages at 337
and 339 Fifth avenue. at the northeast
corner of Thirty-thlrd street.
The blaze was discovered by Police
man Sloane, of the Tenderloin Precinct.
He was patrolling his post on Fifth ave-
nue. about $3.50 A. NJ. when he saw smoke
coming from the windows on the top
floor. and rang an alarm from the box
at the corner Of Thirty-ti street.
When the fremen arrived flames were
shooting out Of the windows, and Bat
talon Chief Fisher turned in a second
alarm. The fire spread so rapidly that
Chief Bonner struck third alarm.
The rattllng OF the fre-engines caused
some excitement in the numerous hotels
in the district. The guests in the
Waldorf and in the Hotel Cambridge.
on the southwest corner Of Fifth avenue
and Thirty-third street, were awakened
from their slumbers and crowded at the
windows while the firemen were bat
ting with the flames.
There was no scare among the guests
In either the Waldorf or the Cambridge.
although much interest was displayed
by them.
The building in which the fire oc-
CURED. is a five-story brick structure,
with a frontage OF about fifty feet and
a depth Of seventy 'eet. Demarest &
Co. occupy the whole Of It,
The top floor. where the fire started.
was used as a vanishing room. A
large number Of carriages OF fine make
were stored in the lower floors.
The varnish and paints caused the fire
to burn fiercely, and within a short
time after the outbreak the whole top
story was a mass Of flames. which shot
up into the air and lit up the neighbor-
hood.
Chief Bonner ordered the occupants of
the house, 341 Fifth avenue, to get out
as the building, for a time. seemed
threatened.
Lines of hose were DIR .gged UP to the
roofs Of the adjoining houses. and
water tower No. was placed in posi-
tion in front OF the burning building
in Thirty-third street.
Streams Of water from the tower were
shot right into the flames through the
stop story windows.
Although the fire had made much
headway before the firemen could get
to work, they succeeded in confining
the outbreak to the top floor. The fire
did not get into the lower stories, but
large quantities of water were poured
into the building and ran down to the
lower floors.
The members OF the insurance patrol
did good work. They covered up nearly
all the carriages in every floor with tar
paulins, and thereby prevented what
otherwise would have been very heavy
water damage.
The fire was under control in about
an hour. The whole top story was
burned out, and considerable water
damage was done in the rest of the
building.
The loss on the contents of the build.
ing was placed at $4,000, and on the
building at $4,000.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by spontaneous combustion.

CONEY ISLAND, L. l., July 26.-John
Stewart. the wealthy horse owner Of
Chicago. who is now running several
horses at the Brighton Beach race track.
was found unconscious shortly before
midnight last night at the entrance
to the Brighton track.
He was discovered by some stable
boys. His face was badly cut and
bruised and both eyes were discolored
and swollen.
Stewart was carried into house near
by where he was attended by DR.. HILL
The doctor, after working for several
hours, restored the man to conscious
ness, and found that he had not been

This morning Stewart was so weak
that he had to be supported by two
friends when he went to Police Head
quarters to see Chief John Y. McKane.
He told Chief McKane that as he was
about to enter the gate Of the track
late last night, to go to his stable. he
was suddenly attacked by three men.
who knocked him down and beat him
| until he lost consciousness.
Stewart said he did not know the mo-
tive for the assault. as he had no trou-
BILE with any one yesterday, and did not
know why any person should make such
an attack on him.
He made this statement to Chief Nc
Kane In the Chiefs private room.
The police were reticent about the de-
tails.
1t was thought that Stewart may have
been robbed of his money and valuables
although the police would not admit 1t.
Stewart said that he was at O'Brien's
hotel until 10 o'clock. and was drinking
there with some friends. He believes
that he was followed by his assailants
and was struck down with a slungshot
as he has two ugly gashes under his
eyes.
He says he can give no description
Of his assailants, as he was attacked
and struck down 80 suddenly that he
didn't get q good view of them.
