MAY Be A Big HOAX.
This Bottle Held Keys and a Story
Of Collision at Sea.
Signed by Two BrookIyn.tes Who
Went for q Sail.
states that They Were Run Down
by the Steamship Paris.

Friends of John Heath, the engineer
In cha.ge OF Engine Company %, In
Brooklyn, and Fitch Lattridge. who
keeps a stove store at 45l Ia Atlantic
avenue. are undecided whether these
two men are practical jokers or victims
of a collision ut sea.
Until to-day they were supposed to be
cruising down the bay In an old whale.
boat that had been fitted up us yacht
but the news came to Brooklyn this
| morning that John Cavanaugh, while
walking along the beach at Coney Island
picked up a bottle containing note and
some keys.
Inc note was as follows:
Our boat was struck by the steam
er Paris, bound for Europe.
Help was refused.
Our boat Is now nearly filed with
water. We are sinking fast. No boat
near to help US.
''Good-by. all. God only can save US.
Keys In bottle for my locker In
room of Engine Company. Is, State
near Nevins street"
JOHN HEATH,
FITCH LOTTRIDGE."
At the engine-house the firemen were
inclined to regard the matter as joke.
Heath lived at AZ Atlantic avenue,
with his wife and one child. q boy.
Mrs. Heath only returned from the
Catslills yesterday. Sac knew her hus-
band had started for Atlantic Highlands.
but has heard nothing from him.
At Lottridge's store this morning, a
postal card was received by Thomas
- lak.
said: I'VE arrived at the Highlands at
II o'clock this morning. We are all
right"
The steamship Paris sailed from her
dock In this city after IL o'clock A. NJ. on
Wednesday, Aug. Is. the same day upon
which the postal card was mailed by
Loturidge at Atlantic Highlands.
1t Is possible, of course, that the men
may have landed at Atlantic Highlands
and mailed the postal card. 1t Is also
possible that they may have started out
again for q sail and got into the course
of the Paris as she went out
The general belief In shipping circles,
however, is that the story In the bottle
was a Joke, concocted and carried out
by the men in the boat on their way to
Atlantic highlands, and that the postal
CdEu was UDdileu dt AtidHtiC
as an attertnought and to reassure their
friends should the bottle have been
picked up in the interval between their
departure for and arrival at Atlantic
highlands.
When Manager Wright, of the Amer
lean line, to which the Paris belongs,
was shown a copy OF the mole. ne re-
marked positively that II wasn't So.
How do you known" he was asked.
1T simply isn't So" he replied. and
he stin maintained that he was right
when 1t was suggested that the mana
ger Of a siea msaip line doesn't know
any more about what is going on at sea
than ordinary land lubbers.
Other officials Of the american line
said the Paris passed out OF the Hook
at l2.47. and 1t would not then have
been very foggy, for she was sighted.
Except In thick fog. 1t was. stated that
a steamship could not run down boat
without seeing II, and that in case Of
such an accident. help would be Of
fered.
Weather Forecaster Dunn said that
his records show that 1t was foggy
along the coast all day Wednesday.

A DESERTED ALBIN0 IN A CAB.
Hickman Pallmann Drives HIS
Charge to q Police station.

~ 5NutIOhs
An excited cabman named Emil PAIL
mann, living at 43 West Thirty-ninth
street. drove at a rattling pace to the
West Sixty-eighth street police station,
at o'clock this morning. hurried into
the station-house and said: Sergeant,
I've got a woman outside In my cab.
She was deserted by her escort in Cen
trail Park. who threatened me with q
razor"
On being further questioned he said /:
He jumped out of the cab while II was
moving. l went after him. but he drew
a razor and j let him go out OF my
sight. l had been driving the couple
about the city for four hours.
when i came back to the cab I
found the woman kicking up q merry
row and thought 1t best to bring her
here"
The woman. who proved to be q beau
tiful albino, about twenty-five years
old. was carried into the station-h house
by Officer Paulding. She was heiplessly
drunk. She described herself as Lizzie
Hess. OF .52 West Thirty-ninth street
She refused to tell the name OF her de-
serter.
BY order OF the Sergeant a complaint
OF intoxication was made against her.
She looked crestfallen when arraigned
before Justice Meade at the Yorkville
Court at o'clock, and had nothing TO
say for herself. The Judge fined her -,
and as she did not have the money she
was led Into the prison.

FOR PERJURY Now
Arnold Will Have His Self-styled
F; Wife Arrested Again.
She Secures a Reduction Of Bail In
The Threatening Letter Case.
Lawyer Hummel Says She Is y
Cuban's Discarded Mistress.

Annie Fisher. alias Alten, the
woman whom the wealthy manu-
facturer, Nathan Arnold, caused
to be arrested for sending him
threatening letters, won a victory this
morning by having her bail reduced
by Justice Beach in the Supreme Court
from 5000 to $1,000.
The smile that came to her face when
Justice Beach announced his decision
quickly gave way to a frown, however,
when Lawyer Abe Hummel stated that
his client, Mr.. Arnold, would now have
her arrested on a charge of perjury.
Arnold is a mild-mannered man OF
about thirty years, and a member Of
the firm Of d. II. Arnold & Co., Of Is
West Houston street. Annie Fisher IL q

Ing appearance.
She met Arnold about eleven years
ago, when he was q youth just out Of
school They had been intimate since
then until a short time. ago, when. as
both admit. Arnold tired OF her.
Then there was a settlement, and
Arnold says he gave her $1,000 He al
ieges that she In return made an AFT
davit, setting forth that before meeting
him she had lived as a wife with the
son OF q wealthy Cuban planter had
peen sent to New York by her lovers
father. and had then met Arnold and
MIN as her husband.
A short time ago. however. the woman
commenced suit Tor separation from
Arnold, and In an aff1davit claimed
that he was her common-law husband.
1t Is on account of these alleged con-
Trajectory affidavits that the charge of
perjury Is to be made.
In ordering reduction of bail on the
charges of sending threatening letters,
Justice Beach said that the amount as
fixed by Police Justice Grady yesterday,
virtually commenced punishment before
there had been an examination.
The charges Of sending threatening let
tiers will come UP before Justice Grady
tomorrow.
Lawyer. Moss stated this afternoon
that the charge of perjury would not be
made until tomorrow.
Counsel for Mrs. F'isher stated
that she would during the day deposit
with the City Chamberlain, q sufficient
sum to secure her release.
