the same moment the gripman sent the
car ahead. 1t came In collision with
the hind wheel of the truck, pushing the
vehicle ahead for distance OF twenty
feet. When the car was brought to a
standstill. the heavy iron axle of the
truck was found to have been bent as II
made of lead.
The officers Of the company, however.
alIege that the accident could not have

she will steam over to pier /. North

Her agents say she will sail Sept. or

ments OF arms and ammunition for ports
Of the belligerents in the present war,
and also announced the fact that some
of these consignments had since been
refused, owing to their contraband char
acter.

THINKS MAADELBAUM DElD.|
Inspector Mclaughlin Does Not
Believe the Latest Story.
IL Is to the Effect that the Famous
"Fence" Is Alive and Well.

Inspector Mclaughlin does not believe
that Mother Mandelbaum, the once no
torious Fence" whose death in Mon
treal, Canada, was reported several
months ago and whose burial In a Long
Island cemetery was said to have taken
place, ia alive. as intimated in a Column
bus (O) despatch this morning.
The Inspector said to-day to an
Evening World" reporter:
1T Is not surprising to hear of a
woman thought to be Mother Mandel-
baum. for ] have frequently seen de-
spatches mentioning such a person, even
when the original Mandelbaum was
alive, This woman in the West very
much resembled Mother Mandelbaum,
and in plying her wiles went about sell

very much like the old fence and
the old lace-selier.. and not being ac-
quainted with the facts, should become
puzzled over the rather remarkable
According to the Western despatch

was seen in Columbus two weeks ago

AS a matter of fact, there IL no one ir

she once declared she would end heI

can be ascertained, the casket which

Mother Mandelbaum, was never exam
amined in Its transit through this cit,

1t may or may not have been fillet

A son Of Mother Mandelbaum is salt

MUST HAVE MORE WATER.
BroOkIyn's situation Daily Grow
ing More PrecariOus.

Brooklyn's situation Daily Grow
ing More Precarious.
City Works Commissioner White, of
Brooklyn, said this morning that by
Wednesday. at the latest, he will name
the contractor who Is to get the work
OF the new water extension which Is
to relieve the city of q possibel water
famine and increase the water supply
&c, 900, 900 gallons.
The scarcity Of water In Brooklyn is
growing more serious each day, as
frequently several millions more gallons
are consumed than the machinery can
pump when taxed at its full capacity.
On Saturday there We're 349 gal
Ions pumped and 7O.s21, 4S gallons con-
sumed. Yesterday 72.204, sos gallons were
consumed and only Sc, S03, 293 gallons
pumped into the reservoirs.
The amount OF water now In the
storage reservoir at Hampstead has
fallen until there is a depth of a few
inches over three feet. In few days.
or possibly by tomorrow, the depth will
be decreased to below three feet, when
1t will no longer be safe to draw
water.
A house to house canvass has been
made in many sections OF the city by
the police, and the tenants warned not
to waste the water.

SUICIDES SISTER MISSING.
She Has Not Been SEEM since Last
Tuesday.

The body Of Joseph Fichtar, who was
found hanging In his fiat at 159 East
Ninety-ninth street, yesterday, will be
buried In Potters Field to-day, unless
some of his relatives put in an appear
ance.
Fichtar was a varnisher, and lived
with his sister. Mrs. Veronica Krouse
The latter is sixty years old and crippled.
She went away Tuesday. Fichtar was
seen the following day.
Yesterday Janitor Torrance Turtle
looked into Fichtar's apartments from
the fire-escape and saw him hanging
from a door frame. He notified the
police OF the East One Hundred and
Fourth Street Station, who cut the body
down and had It removed to Duffy's un-
dertaking store on Third avenue.
Some OF the ,nelghbors said to an
Evening World" reporter to-day that
Fichtar complained OF having lost $500
recently in cigar store on Second ave-
nue., which probably affected his mind.
Mrs. Krouse has not been seen since
Fichtar's body was found. She has
married sons living in the city, and il
is supposed that she is living with one OF
them, in ignorance OF her brothers
death.
