Carroll gave little heed to the matter,
but though /. Of enough Importance
to relate the circumstance to Manager
Thomas Mack.

a Policeman.

Supt. Byrnes had n demand made upon
him this afternoon by another crank,
who wanted 800. 900, which, he asserted,
had been given to him for safe keeping
several years ago. The man had never
been seen around the place before, but
he was known through his letter-writing
mania, as similar demands had been
received by the Superintendent nearly
O year ago.
The man, who was poorly clad, n
gave every evidence of having passed
several nights in cheap lodging-houses,
made his appearance at the Mulberry
street building soon after / =. NJ.
Detective-SerGt. Mangin was ut the
desk in the outer Office. The man SAL
he had important business with tne
Superintendent, to whom alone he could
communicate it. There was nothing in
his appearance to indicate that he was
q crank, so after n little more question
inr he was allowed to enter.

the demand, II called in a detective,
who led the man to the execution
chamber" There he said his name was
Thomas Reilly, a printer, forty-tive years
old. He refused to give his address or
tell anything more about himself.
Reilly had no cap of n Kind.
but when searched several hundred
newspaper clippings all relating To
wealthy men in this CITY. We're found
in his possession. \ postal card which
he had forgotten to mail had been
directed to the Surrogate of New Nort
City and said:

The man had a rosary and several glass
chandelier pendants in his pockets.
Supt. Byrncs in hunting up the mans
record found that he had received a
nostal card from the fellow, signed
Thomas j. Reilly, two years ago. and
that the woman he referred to was Miss
Sarah Bell, of 1l9 East Twenty-ninth
street. The Supcrintodent thinks that
Reilly lives at II Pearl street. This Is

MRS. COOK SOUGHT DEATH.
she Made Two Attempts After Her
Husbands suicide.

The guests of the St. George Hotel, in
Brooklyn, had not recovered this morn
ing from the high state of excitement
into which they were thrown by the sui
eide of Samuel G. Cook, early last even
irg. followed by attempts by Mrs. Cook
to kill herself.
1t was learned this morning that Mrs.
Cock had tried to get hold of the pistol
her husband had used. When this at
tempt failed, she wanted to jump from
the seventh story window.
Mrs. Cook was still very nervous this
morning. A trained nurse was at her
bedside to see that she did not again at
tempt to do herself violence.
The causes which led to Cooks suicide
beyond the fact that he was interested
in some litigation concerning the owner
ship of a zinc mine in Missouri, are Il
mystery.
Lawyer pykman, who was associated
with Horace T.. Drming. of New York,
IN the care of Cooks legal affairs, re-
fused to throw light upon the matter
this morning. He refused to even tell
what the suit was about.
Cook was IA son OF the late .Ahner G.
Cook, of Oswego, n. Y. His father ac-
Cumulated "A fortune in the coal business
and invested largely in a zinc mine in
Joplin. Nj
Owing, to his poor health, Mr.. Cook
placed his son, Samuel &. Cook. in
charge. Through young Cooks misman-
agement, it Is said, the property ran
down. and at his fathers death ne
found that all the property had been
left to his mother, Tn" property re-
manned under his management, and II
Is said that he m~ortgaEed 1t to its fun
value.
The property was sold II short time
ago, and Cook tried to have the sale
set aside. Cook MAS married in Cali
fornia about ten years ago. His dos
nestle affairs became complicated and
he and his wife separated. FOur years
ago he married his present wife. who
is an elocutionist and is said to he very
beautiful.

A FRUITFUL LIFE ENDED.

The sudden death Of Mr. Anthony J. Dreyel
will be deplored in every circle OF society. The
managers of financial institutions, upon WHOM
in this time of perplexity and danger much de-
ponds. will deeply feel the loss OF a colleague
whose slgacty and courage have often been
of great service To the country. multitude
Of persons in less conspicuous places VIII share
the sorrow of personal friends as they think
with gratitude of a long and fruitful LIE now
ended Those whom educational interests, and
especially the cultivation Of practical knowl-
edge, most closely concern will mourn the eX-
tinction of a constant and beneicent force.
Many young men and women struggling against
obstacles toward independence will miss the
encouragement which his presence in the world
afforded The weak and helpless and de>ponl-
eDt will feel that they have lost a friend. To
MANY individuals of every vocation and class
his death will mean more than they are able
to express.
Mr. Drexel's active career did not begin OBJ
securely. He inherited advantages of position,
which he quickly qualified himself to utilize.
For this reason the place which he held in the
esteem of all who knew him or knew OF him
was the more enviable and instructive. His
circumstances were such as have often hardened
the hearts of successful men against the OBJ
scure and unfortunate, and deprived them at
last of the capacity to enjoy in any worthy
sense the fruits Of their own activity. Mr..
Drexel's affections were never so circumscnbed,
and as he advanced in years, in atiluence and
in authority his sympathies expanded to the
measure of his opportunities. Death has
stripped many rich men of all their acquis-
tons. Throughout his life Mr.. Drexel saved
great sums of money by giving them away, and
therefore he has carried priceless possessions

DRYING WILD HORSES.

There is much force in the figure used by
ex-Pre>;dent Harrison when speaking Of the
probability of the repeal OF the Silver Purchase

not the President will be able to drive his wild

yer question, but on pretty much all others.
1t is because the people have begun to realize
this fact that we are now in the midst OF one
Of the worst financial disturbances the country
has experienced for many years Thousands of
citizens who voted for Mr.. Cleveland and are
not ready yet 10 say they are sorry for it be-
cause they still have confidence in the honesty
of his intentions, the soundncsS Of his views
and the tmness Of his temper. freely admit
that it was a mistake to bring in with him a
Democratic Congress, and put that party in
absolute control OF all departments of the Gov
ernmem. They fully appreciate the force and
significance of ex-Pre,ident HarrisOn's figure.
They see, as he does, that not merely with
reference to the silver question, but as to every
other that concerns the prosperity and welfare
of the country, everything depends on Presi-
dent Cleveland's ability TO manage the wild
horses that were harnessed to the team when
he mounted the box and took the reins.
For thirty years the Democratic party has
been seeking power by appeals TO all the fac
tions and dissatisfied, the crazy cranks and
visionary theorists, to come over and help them
turn cut the Republicans. They have been
ready to promise anything and everything for
votes have left no deceit unplactised, no trick
untred. no lie untold to effect their purpose.
II WAS not strange perhaps when the proven
bal tickleness of the people is considered, that
after thirty-twO years Of power, in which it
had been engaged in constructive statesman
ship and positive legislation, the Republican
party raised into minority. During all that
period il had been doing work that necessarily
provoked criticism. II was not, in the nature
of things. that all its acts should meet the
unanimous approval of the party, even if it
made n, mistakes, as all parties do at times,
none being infallible. The inevitable tendency
is to cleavages from the party in power, whose
positive work subjects it 20 constant criticism,
