INSANE FROM SMALLPOX.
The People at Fordham Hospital
Given q Scare.
New Cases of the Disease Discovered
in the Fourth Ward.

An irrational man, about twenty-four
years old, who, II is believed, lives
somewhere in Westchester County, was
removed from Fordham Hospital to
North Brother Island this morning, suf-
fering from smallpox.
He walked into the office OF the hos
pital yesterday afternoon, and said he
wanted the "scars' removed from his
face, motioning with his finger at erup-
lions too thick to be counted. 1t was
discovered that he had smallpox, and
when 1t was SO announced. there was a
stampede of clerks, outdoor patients and
attendants.
The patient talked incoherently, being
unable to tell anything about himself.
He was evidently insane, probably from
the effects of the disease. Where he
came from is n mystery, but 1t was sur
missed that he might be one OF the dis
charged patients from the Charity Hos
pital on Wards Island, who had be-
come infected there. and who had devel-
oped the disease after leaving that in
stitution.
The Health Inspectors had hoped that
they had succeeded In stamping out the
infection in the Fourth Ward, but their
hopes met with disappointment yesterday
The victims were Annie and Lillian
Burke. Of So Oak atreet, aged twenty
seven years and three months, respect

Brother Island this morning also.

were discovered.

y One of the injunctions contained In

the police captains of the several pre-

at o'clock this morning, when all the
saloons in the Tenderloin Precinct
closed their doors.
The order had been transmitted to the
saloon-keepers by policemen on their

1t Ia also said that Central Office de-
tectives were scattered all over the
city last night taking notes and making
observations. This could not be except
by Supt. Byrnes's directions. The OBJ
ject undoubtedly must have been to
make observations for the benefit Of the
superintendent as to how faithfully his
orders were executed by the captains.
sX Supf. Byrnes refused to discuss the
matter to-day or even affirm or deny
whether the saloon and gambling-house
orier was to be OF general application
or what further instructions, II any. he
gave the, captains yesterday.
Az a result of the police vigilance only
two excise arrests were made in the
Tenderloin District last night. They
were Edward Nail, of 4S1 Sixth avenue,
and Joseph Sheim, bartender for
Michael Minden. of 500 Sixth avenue.
There was no evidence produced in court
TO show that they were doing business
after hours. and Justice Mcmahon dis
charged them.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Result of Mrs. Lydia Popp Wilson'S
Preliminary Examination.

The preliminary examination of Mrs.
Lydia Popp Wilson, charged with the
murder of her husband at 1904 Powell
street on September 26, was held before
Judge Joachimsen yesterday.
Mrs. Elizabeth Mckinley, constant Wis
i.or to the City Prison, believing that Mrs.
Wilson was insane, had her taken before
the Insanity Commissioners last Thurs
day, but after hearing several witnesses
the Commissioners reman6ed her back to
the prison and expressed the opinion that
it would be time enough to inquire into her
sanity or insanity when she was held to
answer.
Yesterday the evidence was practica lly
a repetition of that taken before the Cor
Ouer at the inquest on her hus band's body.
The Judge held her to answer before the
Superior Court on the charge of murder
without bail. The evidence is purely cir
cumstantial.

STEINBERGER'S FOUND WILL.
A Contest Filed by Brother of the
TeStator,

The will OF John a. Steinberger, who
died in October, 1892, and whose testament
ary document turned up so mysteriously
only few DAYS ago, will be cOntested by
a brother of the testatOr. Charles NJ. Stein
berger.
In the first place it was never suspected
that the deceased had made any disposition
of his affairs, and when the will turned up
Steinberger's S32. .274 estate had long since
been distributed equally among his broth
ers and sisters. But bv the terms of this
newly found will totally different distri-
button was to be made A policy of in
surance for $4,000 was bequeathed to Mrs.
E izabeth G. Hall, $1,000 10 her daughter,
lie Hall, $1,000 to Mrs. Victoria Morris,
ers and the residue in equal shares 70 Mrs.
Hall and Mrs. Levinia Robinson.
The testator was evidently determined
that no dispute should arise over his prop
erty. He added prOvisO that if any rea-
tive made an attempt TO set aside the Will
the bequest made to him should be re-
voked. This disposition snits Mrs. Hall
all right, but lot Charles inDerger, who
opposes her claims on the following
grounds:
That he is an heir of the estata OF said
decedent and interested in the estate left
by him. =,
THAT said document now offered for
probate is mt the last wilt and testamen {:
Of the deceased.
"That said document now offered for
probate was not duly attested and executed
by said decedent
That at the time said document now
offered for probate is alleged 10 have been
signed by decedent. said decedent was un-
der the restraint and undue influence of
one Mrs. T. O. Hall, who. without right or
claim of any nature whatsoever upon said
decedent. com pelled said decedent TO exc
cute said document IN her favor"

1t Is only within the last few years that
it has been possible for an inexperienced
person to dye black that would not
crock. fade or wash out. Even milI-dye0
black goods were rarely absolutely fast.
The advent of three diamond dye fast
blacks-for wool. for cotton and tor silk
ana feathers-has changed all this. Now,
with 10-cent package of one Of these
dyes the first trial gives perfect success =.
The directions on the packages ale so
plain and simple that even child can get
better results than the experienced dyer
could few years ago.
The prevailing fashion for black stock
lngs, feathers, gowns and cloakS and The
TACT that anything can be coiored with
diamond dyes black that will not crock
or fade explains their almost universal
use.
The peculiar way in which the diamond
dye fast blacks are made gives them a
great superiority over all other methods Of
home dyeing.
There are some forty other colors of
diamond dyes, each OF which is thor
oughly reliable. and as superior to imita-
tons as sunlight is to moonlight.
