The certificate of death gives the cause
as acute ~dysentery. caused by ptomaine
poisoning from eating kidney stew.
The father of the children Is Herman

the sickness are not yet known. but the
matter will be thoroughly sifted by the
health officers, who declare that if tht
cause of death Is really ptomaine poison

Lenox avenue with the new line to be
built to that point.
Alderman Noonan. who introduced the
application. was in the chair. Alderman
Prague tried to speak several times and
was each time promptly called to order.
He finally got the floor and said with
nue. spirit:
"The last franchise this Board gave
away was given before any. Of the

is too much gag law here. l want a
chance to speak, and | object to being

FIVE FAMILIES OUsTED.
Did Nothing but Fight, Which
Tired the Owner.
Bloody Battles Over Young Fred's
Attentions to Clara.

Five families out Of eight in a rear
tenement-house at 514 East Thirteenth
street are being dispossessed this MORN
Ing for fighting.
At IL o'clock last night they had n
general wind-up fight. As a result
Frederick Hyler. fifteen years Did, is in
Bellevue Hospital with a deep cash In
his throat, while Gottleib Seib, a cigar
maker, Is locked UP, charged with be-
ing responsible for the boys condition.
There were two factions in the house
the Hylers and the Uhlrichs. Mrs. Hyler
lives on the ground floor. with her son,
Frederick. her husband and two daugh-
ters. Mrs. Uhlrich occupied the fifth
floor with her husband and daughter,
Clara. All the trouble arose because
Fred Hylcr wanted to keep company
with Clara Uhlrich. Clara didn't object
at all; in fact, she was strongly in favor
OF such an arrangement. But her mother
and her father wouldn't listen to 1t for
a minute. The various families In the
house took sides, and the result has been
a series Of battles, marked with blows
and blood.
Things have been going on in this way
for a year: At least Charles Hassel. the
owner OF the house, couldn't stand 1t any
longer. and sent forth the edict that five
OF the families, including the Hylers and
the Uhlrichs. must 90.
Last night Gottleib Seib went into
the front courtyard and called upstairs
to Fred Hyler to come down n have
1t out. Young Hyler didn't hesitate q
minute He was so anxious to accept
the challenge that he jumped out the
window. The fight was short. Hyler
no sooner landed In the yard than Sell
was by his side with a short knife In
his hand. He struck once. and HyleI
ran into the house with the blood
streaming from his neck.
