.ssney Hospital Attaches Deny Any
Completely in It.

q. A. Collins, who is employed In the
electrical department Of the Atlantic
Avenue Railroad Company, called at
the Coroner's ONCE. in Brooklyn. this
morning and charged that somebody had
stolen SIS from his deceased friend, John
willie, who lost his life on Wednesday
while at work repairing the company's
trolley wires at Ninth avenue and Third
street. Incidentally, he told story
which seems to call for strict investi-
cation.
willie, who was thirty years old, was
employed as an emergency lineman. and
lived in the railroad depot at Third and
Atlantic avenues.
On Wednesday afternoon Collins told
Deputy Coroner Deegan that he and
willie were paid their salary that day.
willie only had FIVE cents in his pocket.
Immediately after getting their pay
they went to Ninth avenue and Third
street to make some repairs. Willie had
4 shock from the trolley wire which

near BY. Sheehan stood guard while
+ Collins ran for a policeman. He found
an ofiicer half a block distant, told him
20 call an ambulance and returned to
He was not absent more than three
, minutes, he says. An ambulance ar.
rived shortly afterward and removed
the Injured man to the Sensy Hospital,
where he died that night.
iT Collins notified the dead man q

, OF the tragedy, and received a reply that
ahe would bury the remains IL they

count OF a Comma.

BIDS were opened at the meeting OF the

phnlt for walks In Central. Mount Nor
ris and Riverside Parks. and for Man
haitian square. at an estimated cost OF
$4,000. The bidders were the Henfcha-
tel, the Seysel and the favored Siclian
Company. OF which President Clausen
was treasurer. The lowest bidder was
tn" lIenscbatel
The last time when the Sicilian Com
pany was underbd the lowest bid was
rejected
This time however. the contract was
awarded to the Neufchatel Company.
Perhaps the fact that Mr.. Clauscn is
away on his vacation explained this
For delivering 1000 cubic yards of
screened gravel for Central Park the bid
Df George f. Doaks was S2l5 per cubic
yard. The bid Of Z. j. Fleming was SIP
per cubic yard. Fleming got the con-
tract.
\ letter was read from II. II. Topskak
yam, Imperial Persian Commissioner TO
5oners the building used Tor the Persian
exhibit at Chicago. which he thought
might be an ornament to Central Park.
The offer was accepted.
ON the complaint OF Engineer Graham,
in charge OF the Speedway John C.
Howe inspector In charge OF the dredg-
ing, was discharged for refusing to at
tend to his business.
1t was decided to ask the Board Of
Estimate for $1,000 to pay for the prepare
ton of plans for CorleaH Hook Park
and Cathedral Parkway. az Engineer
Kellogg said they could not be prepared
until the money was procured.
j. q. Rodgers, one of the Speedway
contractors. complained that the Comp
roller refuses to pay his bills to the
amount Of S24.644 for work done on the
road. The Comptroller refuses, on the
ground that the work is not yet com
pleted
1t transpired that the dispute arose
over the existence or non-eXistence of
n comma in the specifications. which
| read that contractors should be paid
from time to time FOR material fur
nished aud delivered and work done.
Commissioner Bell said that II there
was comma after delivered Mr..
Rogers could get his money. He was
told to send in two separate bills and
| the matter would be fixed up.
As the appropriation for improving
Riverside Drive Is exhausted, II was
announced that Az men would have to
be dropped pending the making of a
transfer by the Board of Estimate.

The theory of suicide Is ~dlscredited
by the Farells and by Thomas Angel,

Angel said hat Heron was in the
habit OF sleeping with hot water bottles.
Last night, he thinks, Heron heated
water ms usual. and after d"isconnecting
the tube from the stove forgot to turn
off the gas. Heron, 1t is said, had lost
the sense of smell some time ago. and
therefore did not discover that the gas
