HOPE FOR LUCY s. De F. BELL.
Justice Lawrence Orders Asylum
Doctors TO Examine Her.

Lucy Somerville De Forest Bell, an in
telligent-looking young woman, about
twenty-five years old who Is at present
an inmate OF the City Asylum for the
Insane, on Wards Island, was brought
before Justice Lawrence in Supreme
Court. Chambers. this morning. on
writ of habeas corpus.
Miss Bell, before coming to America
was a teacher of languages in the Royal
Academy at Naples. She holds eleven
diplomas from different European
academies. II liz alleged that Miss Bell
is not insane.
Aug. last Miss Bell was taken to
Bellevue Hospital for treatment for a
sDrained ankle. While there her actions
were such as to cause the physicians
to examine her as to her sanity.
They decided her insane and she was
committed to the asylum on Wards
Island. Since her commitment to the
asylum her mother has been endeavor-
ing to have her released.
II. j. Hare, her counsel, sent two
physicians to the asylum last week. who
examined Miss Bell and reported that
she was sane.
Justice Lawrence adjourned the case
until next Monday to enable the asylum
authorities to examine the woman. and
unless they decide to release her ne
will order an inquisition by n commits
sion and sheriff's jury.

CYCLONE ON THE WARPATH.
Off TIE Florida Coast and Heading
Northward To-Day.
1t May he Felt Here and Then
Again 1t May Not.

A big cyclone is meandering along the
Southern Atlantic coast. about 200 miles
out, to-day, and there Is considerable
speculation in the mathematical mind of
Weatner-Ohserver Dunn as to whether
the storm will be felt in the metropolis
or not.
AS yet the storm centre OF the cyclone
has not been located definitely. 1t start
ed on its wild career last Friday down in
the West Indies, where 1t raised havoc
and devastation
This morning 1t was reported off the
Florida coast, moving about north-north-
west at the rate of fortyfour miles an
hour
The storm was accompanied by rain,
and the barometer was very low and still
falling.
While II not considered safe for south
bound vessels to leave port for a day or
two, as they would probably run right
into the storms centre, Mr.. Dunn il not
prepared to say that the full force OF
the cyclones fury will be felt here.
1t Is possible that the windy terror
may pass out to sea and forget where 1t
is at, but It seems likely that New
Workers may catch a breath of II in a
day or two in the shape OF high winds
and rains.

BOLD THUGS AT WORK
Two Men Robbed on a Well
Lighted, Crowded Street.
StrangIed by the Highwaymen with
Twisted Silk Handkerchief.
The Victims Left Dazed and Nearly
Clicked, While the Thugs Escaped.

The Hoboken police are investigating
to-day the most caring hold-up and rob-
berry that has been report ed there In many
years. UP to the present time no one
has explained just how the thing &C.
Cured, SO daring was the attempt upon
the lives and the property of the two
men attacked.
Acolde Churer. of 433 Spring street, and
Lewis Robacco. of 467 Spring street, two
expert Italians, employed in the silk mills
as foremen. were walking with their
wives last night through West Hoboken,
and were passing out Maple street when
they dropped behind their wives for a
moment
Suddenly three men sprang out from
behind a tree and quick as lightning
threw what seemed to be a cord around
the necks of both men. The silk weavers
were unable to utter a sound, so rapidly
was 1t accomplished. Twisting the cords
tighter and tighter 1t seemed as though
the victims were choking to death.
Completely dazed and almost suffocated
BY the unexpected and unique assault,
they offered no resistance, while the
three strangers went through their pock-
cts and robbed them of all their valua-
bes. They succeeded in getting about
$50, knife. a watch, as we'll as other
little trinkets from the pockets of Ro-
bacco. The amount secured from Churer
was less. but he also lost a watch and
q knife.
AS soon as the thieves had dlsap-
peared the two men rejoined their
wives, and for the first time II was
discovered that the cords which were
hanging about their necks were new
silk handkerchiefs of plain pattern
The men were slightly injured by blows
received on the back OF the head.
The matter was at once reported to
the police. So far the authorities have
NO clue. save the handkerchiefs left
by the thieves. From the pattern, as
well as from the methods employed by
the robbers, 1t Is thought that the men
who made the assault are from the
South of France, or from Italy.
The audacity of the thugs can best
be understood when 1t is known that
the streets were crowded at the time,
and that 1t was comparatively well
lighted in the place where the hold-up
occurred. The escape Of the robbers un-
der those circumstances can only be
explained by the fact that because of
the peculiar methods of attack the men
made no cutlery.
The robbers seemed to work in per-
feet harmony. Two of them attended
to the strangling part OF the programme,
while the third ransacked the pockets OF
the men.

WAS He POISONED :?
Moore Died in Commissions After
Drinking Bitter Tea
He Evidently Suspected Designs
Upon His Life.
Mrs. Hubs Arrested and the Bey-
erage to BE Analysed.

The police OF Jersey City are working
on a case in which every indication
points to murder by poisoning George
Moore. thirtyfour years old. lived at
ia Pine street. that city. taking his
meals from Mrs. Alice Hubbs. of Pine
and Maple streets. Moore was night
foreman in the United States Express
Company's stables in Communlpaw.
Last night, as usual. his supper was
sent to the stables from Mrs. Hubbs s
house. At 1890 o'clock Moore, Joseph
Masset and Edward Hansen, other en-
ployees of the Company, sat down to
eat their lunch. Moore's supper con-
sisted of sandwiches, pie and tea.
After eating some of the sandwiches
Moore took up the pail in which the tea
was and tasted II. He remarked that
1t seemed very bitter and had a peculiar
taste Moore told Masset to taste II,
which he did, and said 1t appeared to
him to be very bitter. Moore. how
ever, drank some more OF the tea.
About ten minutes afterwards Moore
got up and went into an adjoining
room. He was heard by Masset and
Moore writing In commissions, and did
everything they could for him, but he
soon died Before he expired Moore
SAID: Il guess they have done me this
Masset and Hansen became alarmed
ana the police were notified. Detective
Hottie was set to work on the case, and
early this morning arrested Mrs Hubbs
on the charge Of putting the poison into
the tea.
County Physician Converse was also
notified. He ordered the body removed
to Speer's Morgue in Jersey City, where
1t now is. "A portion OF the tea is In the
possession of the County Physician. He
Is going to make an analysis of IT. Mrs
Hubbs denied that she put poison In the
tea.
John Moore, n brother OF the dead
man, lived with Mrs Hubbs. George
tried to induce his brother to leave the
house, but he refused. Then George had
fight with Mrs. Hubbs. and this the
police say. may be the motive for Mrs
Hubbs poisoning George Moore.
Mrs. Hubbs Is in the custody OF De-
tective McNally at her home. John
Moore, the brother of the dead man, is
also under suspicion. Assistant County
Physician Saltonstall Is expected to
make an examination of the body some
time to-day.
Mrs. Hubs is widow, about forty
five years old. She has a daughter.
1t was learned that George Moore was
engaged to be married on Oct. Z, to a
Miss Charles. of Lafayette place.

SHE kNEW MISS POLLARD.

""" -A'so hNew breckinridse Too Well for
the Defendant.
WASHINGTON, March l6-Sarah Goss a
rnulatto, gave testimony in the Pollard
Breckinrldge case that was both sensa-
tional and calculated to corroborate the
worst charge made in the plaintiffs COM
piaint-that of seduction. She said she
had known Miss Pollard foc ten wears, and
Breckinridge ''since | was a girl " and
that she first saw Miss Pollard with the
colonel. Mrs. Goss had lived at Licking
ton since the war and ten years ago Breck-
lnridge Irst visited her house with Miss
Pollard, obtaining room for her there.
At that time, witness said. Miss Pollard
wore dresses above her shoe tops and
sometimes wore her hair in plait-in
fact was girl of about Il wears. The
evening Breckinridge first brought the
girl to Mrs. Goss' house he was alone with
her until IL p. III. When he left Sarah
let him out and and at that time Miss
Pollard was in bed undresscd and Breck-
lnrldEe took her in his arms and kissed
her before he left. This sort of thing
went on for long time, Breckinridge
and Madeline visiting the house fift
times.
Madeline had never visited the house
with any one but Breckinridge. He want
ed to bring her there again year ago Lass
fal, but witness refused, having quit the
business. One of the worst points of this
witness testimony against Breckenridge
was that'he had called on her after the suit
had been brought against him and tried
to influence her not to testify: he had also
wanted two other female witnesses kept
out of the way. Witness told him tha. if
called upon she would speak the truth.
