about $50 o'clock las, night. and either
not knowing OF or forgetting the dual
nature of the platform, fell upon her face
with a crash.
The ticket-chopper was evidently accus-

indifference to this persons mishap. He

her assistance,
At the F~lfty-seventh street station an
other elderly woman stepped from the

ticket-chopper assisted the woman 10 her
feet.

No Truth in the Report that She Is
to he Searched for Opium.

The report that the cid warship Lam
caster, which arrived from Yokohama
last Saturday, had a lot of smuggled
opium and Chinese silk on board, and
that the crew and officers would be sub
jected to a rigid inspection by United
States Custom-House officers, proves
upon investigation to be untrue.
At Collector Gilbreth's office 1t was
stated this morning that no orders had
been received from Washington to search
the Lancaster. Col. Phelps, chief Of the
Ninth Division OF the Custom-House.
stated that the story about the old cor
vette had probably originated in the
fact that she was detained off Stapleton,
s. l., on inspection orders from the Navy
Department instead of proceeding imme-
diately to the Government pier.
Officers rave been permitted to go on
shore, and yesterday the ship was crowd
cd with visitors, who could without
hindrance have taken of n smuggled

Special Inspection Agent Cross, OF the
