vertisement because he wanted a great
deal of fresh milk He drank two. or
three quart daily, and said at breakfast
each morning that the milk did him a
vast amount OF good, but as that con-

When he would say this Miss Billings
would remark that dearest Ferdy was
her one comfort In this world. and she
could not see why people, were not

would then sniff and say with great con-
tempt that he would try and not be the
cause OF removing Miss Billingss sole
comfort. but he could not swear that
he should not some time Kick that pug
into the next world.
The three other boarders would try TO
laugh, as II these remarks were pleas
antries. Occasionally Mr.. Marks, a very
young man. would break out into indig-
nant words addressed TO Mr. Heaton, but
the elder gentleman withered him di-
rectly.
Miss Billings would cast an express
sive glance OF the most ardent gratitude
at the young man, and he would blush.
We all understood that MIR. Marks was
an admirer of Miss Billings. He had
even been known to carry Ferdinand
grinning all the time. She would walk
beside and pat him-the dog. you under

petsy ought to know his friends. and

The hour went by and still the kitchen
remained closed. The thought of supper
began to worry us. When a half hour
more had passed we knew we must get

door leading into the woodhouse, where
we were waiting.

Marks. But you wait minute before

TO take her dog away.
"oh, you precious. preciousr' cried the
lady, gathering Ferdy 10 her heart and
carrying him out OF our sight
Mr.. Marks did not come down to
supper. Late In the evening / ventured
| to Knock at his room.
He did not let me see him, but talked
10 me from behind the door, as he held
! II a little open.
He said lie had good many scratches
| on his hands, and his under lip was
| torn; otherwise he was perfectly well.
! He thought however. that he should go
| back 10 Boston by the train that

Miss Billings left us before 1t was
time to wash Ferdy again. She ex-
so sensitive that she required frequent
! change.
The lady who had the room after Miss
Billings brought canary who never

$4,000 FOR LAWYERS.
Roster and Bal Say the Ledger
Entry Was So Expended.
Hammerstein Claims He Was Told
II Was for Influence.
" Monthly Commissions Were Ex-
plained to Him as Police Fees.

Mayor Gilroy, Supt. Byrnes and Capt.
Schmittberger are angry and annoyed
at the latest turn of affairs in tile Ham
merstein- Roster and Bal imbrogllo.
Mr.. Hammerstein, with Lawyer Stein
hart, of Howe & Hummers office, went
to Albany yesterday and asked At
torney-General Hancock for permission
to apply for a receiver for the affairs
Of Roster, Bal & Co., to enforce an
accounting and dissolve the partner
ship.
Mr.. Hammerstein charged Roster and
Bal with mismanagement and with in
tention to defraud the petitioner, who is
Junior member OF the firm. In the course
of his charges Mr.. Hammersteln said that
there were entries on the books for sew
eral thousand dollars which the defend
ants had told him were expended for
municipal influence in securing a license
and subsequent police protection.
Roster and Bal make denial as
sweeping and emphatic as Mr.. Ham,
merstein's charges.
=" He Is liar and lunatic for saying
such things" said Mr.. Roster this morn
ing.
When Supt. Byrnes read the story
this morning, 1t is said, that he at
once sent for Capt. Schmittberger
Neither the Chief nor the Captain could
be found at his office this forenoon.
When approached on the subject
Mayor Gilroy expressed great surprise

Mr.. Hammerstein does not affect tc

4 MERRY FERRY WAR.
Rumor Says that CAROLS BaOkers
Have Grown Timid.
And that Lawyer Boardman's Claim
Is the Cause Of 1t.
Carroll Declares He VIII Execute
tho Lease in Due Time.

The itssx:se rivalry, to put 1t mildly,
which exists between the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Company and Howard
Carroll, has greatly interested the 1000
residents of Staten Island, who journey
daily to New York to do business.
This army of twenty thousand has sue
ceeded in interesting at least five times
as many New Workers in the subject
which has been discussed with more or
less animation since Mr.. Carroll bid in
the ferry franchise.
As result of such discussion there
have cropped to the surface all sorts
of rumors concerning the good faith
Of one or both parties to the transac-
ton.
A rumor which has found some Gre
lence and Is OF considerable interest, is
TO the effect that the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Company has felt conf
Il dent of a monopoly of the ferry fran
chise all along and did not mean to be
4 lured into competitive bidding with
! Howard Carroll or any one else.
An incident in confirmation of this
rumor Is the sale of Communication tick
cts by the Company for the month of
October, after the Company had lost
its legal right to run boats, as the fran
chise had become the property of Mr..
Carroll.
1t is now said that Mr.. Carroll had O
number of wealthy men partly pledged
to Join him in the ferry. scheme and that
they were about to bind themselves by
paying in the necessary money to make
q pool for the operation Of the ferry
and the building of competing railroad

These men, 1t Is asserted, were scared

and o. has this right, but all conced,
that there is something in the claim

that Mr.. Carroll would execute cut i the ieas;
