Towerman Knott Held TO Blame sna
Committed to jail.

The inquest on the Long Island railroad
collision at Berlin on Saturday night last
was concluded yesterday. After hearing
several witnesses the case was given % the
jury.
During the entire inquest great interest
has been manifested by the public ana TN
AFTER O'Clock. when the jury weni out the
court room was crowded. After being our
half an hour they returned the following
verdict:
I'VE find that the thirteen persons KILLED
IN the collision came TO their death caused
by collision between a Rockaway Beach
train and Manhattan Beach train on the
night Of August &c. 1888 at a point between
signal blocks No. and No. 6 Of the
Long Island railroad. and we find that
their death was due TO the criminal nsgli-
gence OF Robert J. Knott, employed by the
Long Island Railroad Company as a tower
man at tower No. s. on the night of the
collision. We exonerate from all response
bility the train crews Of both trains ana
also the towerman at tower No. g. We
censure the practice OF the Long Island
Railroad Company of recalling q brakeman
who has gone from a train stopped for any
cause upon a portion OF the road where
trains are run under a very short headpay
the safety OF which trains depend upon
the watchfulness OF a single towerman"
After the verdict had been given Coroner
Brandon discharged from custody the
trainmen who had been put under arrest
and the towerman in tower G. and eon-
signed Knott to the Queens county ,a0

Sucked Into the Outlet Pipe OF ,
Public Bath.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Emil August Goth, aged eleven, the third
son of Mr.. Goth. a traveller. residing at 13
Cannon Street road. st. George sim the
East came to a terrible end on Monday
evening. Owing to the hot weather the peo-
pie in the neighborhood focked in great
numbers to the Jubilee public baths in Belts

utmost to meet the demands. Little Goth,
who was an expert swimmer, able to ac-
complish twelve lengths of the bath with
ease. was engaged to take tickets at the
door.
At $50. the bathers having left the bath.
the water was being run off preparatory to
reflling the bath. Goth assisted to turn the
valve to let the water out, and the grid over
the outflow pipe was removed to allow the
accumulated rubbish at the bottom of the
bath To be carried away without interfering
With the flow. When the bath, which holds
dOUO gallons, was half empty, Goth slipped
OF his clothes, and, IL is said, threw towel
into the bath and at once dived after it,
instead Of rising where he Anticipated he
was carried to the outflow pipe and dragged
into IL.
Although the diameter of the pipe is only
nine inches, SO great was the force of the
water that he was carried down to the bend
in the pipe, where his knee rested and inn
peded his course. 1t was not until after II
O'Clock that the body was got out. A sur
geon was in attendance, but his services
were not required. as the boy had been dead

TO AVOID HIGH TAXES.
George Gould VIII Move. From New
York to Ulster County.


York to Ulster County.
The report that George J. Gould was
going to become a resident of Ulster county
in order to evade taxation in New York
was no surprise to the department Of taxes
and assessments Of that city.
Jay Gould never owned up to more than
$4,000 worth of personal property. The
tax commissioners never could find more
but when Gould died and the inventory of
his estate showed that he was possessed Of
many millions of taxable property the COM
missioners had their inning.
They were guided in their action to a
great extent by the levying Of the collateral
inheritance tax, which was based on a val
uation of s7000o.000
George Gould contested the assessment Of
$0o0o.000 on the estate, and the matter is
now before the courts.
If he claims Ulster county as perma-
nent residence while occupying his 9Th ave-
nue. palace he must either take with him to
Ulster county all of the stocks. bonds, mort
cages and other securities now assessed in
New York. or he must show that they are
all assessed in Ulster county, because in the
assessment law the location of taxable
property is the main point to be considered
So II was said at the tax department.
BY claiming a residence in Ulster county
Mr.. Goulds taxes will be greatly reduced
as the assessments in the rural districts are
lower than in the city.
The case in part is similar to that Of the
David BOWS estate. The heirs of BOWS
claimed residence in Westchester county,
and the courts sustained them.
