STORM BOUND.
The People Who Met In One Hallway
and What They Did While They
Waited.

and what They Did While They
Waited.
From the New York Sun.
1t came on to rain hard and stopped in
a hallway to wait. 1t was an old building
in a busy downtown street. / was alone at
first. except for the company that had in
the blight OF a hoist rope Of an old-fashioned
hoisting apparatus. which fell in a long loop
by the wall. The hstchways were closed
After / had been standing there a little
spell / heard footsteps back of me on the
stairs. I looked around and saw two men
coming down. carrying some Photographic
apparatus. / imagined that they had been
doing some work In the building and were
row going away. But when they got down
in the hallway and saw how IL was raining
they set their things down and waited.
Presently a scissors grinder turned in from
the sidewalk and set his machine down near
the door and leaned himself against the side
of the doorway. moment later a newsboy
turned into this hospitable shelter. He was
the last.
1t kept on raining. 1t would let up a little
occasionally, but a glance at the clouds was
enough to show that IL was not yet safe to
together for a time and then they stopped.
One Of them got out newspaper and began
to read; the other lighted a ciga rette and
stood there and smoked and looked out. The
scissors grinder read and smoked too. He
filled his pipe slowly and lighted il care
fully. and when 1t was well a-going he got
out his newspaper.
All this was much too slow for the news
boy. He had very soon got tired Of waiting
and had gone on IN the rain: the rest of us
still waited. The reading photographer
turned a fresh page, the smoker lighted a
fresh cigarette and looked at the clouds
the scissors grinder kept steadily on with
his reading and looked at the endless pro-
cession Of trucks and wagons in the street
and read the signs on them. many of them
with names that were very familiar and
many with names that were entirely new to
me. Of people in all sorts of business in ali
parts Of the town.
Pretty soon the rain slackened; the scis-
sors grinder looked up at the sky and folded
his newspaper and put that and his pipe In
his pockets, then he picked I'D his ma
chne and started; the two photographers
weighed anchor and started in his wake and
1 followed closely. A moment later we were
lost In the passing throng.

Stockholders Give. No Satisfaction to
the Sugar Trust Committee.
The Senate sugar trust investigating COM
mittee developed new line Of inquiry to-
day. Geo. w. Silsby. the stockbroker
through whom Geo. Ransom, son Of Sem
ator Ransom, and Capt. Barnes, N at
tache Of the Senator's Committee room
made their dealings In sugar stock, was the
first witness before the committee, and
one of the questions asked related to the
daily order sheet showing the names of
these gentlemen and how It came to be
made public. When this question was
reached Mr.. Silsby said that an answer to
this question would probably involve refer
ence 10 criminal proceeding, and that he
must decline to reply until he could consult
his attorney.
He was then excused that he might see
MS lawyer. The inference from the hesita-
tion and statement Of Mr.. Silsby, was that
the sheet had been stolen from his office
and that Mr.. Siisby hesitated because of
the charge that an answer would imply.
he did not, after he emerged from the COM
mittee room, deny that This was the case.
Mr.. Silsby confirmed the statement made in
Senator Ransom's testimony as to the deal
tngs in small amounts of stock by George
Ransom and Capt Barnes, and said that
no purchases were made by the Senator
himself. He declined. however, to answer
the general questions as to knowledge of
sugar speculation by Senators through his
establishment. or any other brokerage firm
John w. Mccartney of the firm Of Cor
son & Mccartney. Washington correspond
ents of the New York brokerage firm of
Moore & Schley, was also before the COM
mittee. but his testimony consisted simply
In declining to give the committee any In
formation as to privete orders Of sugar
stock, or to say whether Senators had been
among his customers. He stated however
that In making this reply he did not de-
sire to be understood as conveying the in
ference that Senators had been dealing
through his house In sugar stocks.
The committee did not press the ques-
lions. and Mr.. Mccartney was soon ex-
cused. -
Lester 8. Fisher, telegraph operator for
Corson q Mccartney, was also before the
committee, but he declined to answer aues-
tons as to whether he had wired orders
for sugar stocks. and was excused after a

Sad End to the Life Of Mrs. Adele
Blake,

Blake.
In a squalid room and among surround
ings suggestive Of anything but comfort, a
woman died this morning under circum-
stances that made 1t appear At first a case
of suicide. Investigation by Coroner Wood
ward. this afternoon. however showed that
death was due to natural causes, although
it came in unusual guise.
The unfortunate woman was Adele Blake.
a widow aged about forty-five. She occu-
pied a little room on the third floor Of the
building. No. S31 It'll street, the first floor
Of which is used as q Chinese laundry, and
the two upper floors as tenements. She had
few acquaintance and fewer friends and
her life was that Of thousands of others
who know the discomforts that poverty
brings. There was little to relieve its dull
monotony, and of late sickness was added
to her other miseries. The other roome-s
until her condition became such that she
could hardly stand It longer, and within the
past few days she became more Eighty than
she had been before. and the neighbors
carries. Yesterday she ran into a neighbor-
Ing saloon and demanded whisky.
Was Flighty Yesterday.
But you have had all the whisky you
can stand" said the saloon keeper, who
knew who she was. Instead he gave her a
schooner of water. and this she dashed off
In jiffy. Then she ran out into 7th street,
and her actions led to the conclusion that
she was getting worse again. It has only
been a short time since she was released
from hospital, or the insane asylum, the
neightors are not sure just which.
She occupied her miserable little room
with her son Willie. q boy of about thir-
teen. Last night when he went to bed his
mother lay down on the floor. saying that
she was suffering too much to go to Sleep
Toward morning she called him to get her
a drink of water. and when he had done
this he went back to bed. The next thing
he knew he was awakened by the woman
who had the next room to his, and who
had come In to see how Mrs. Blake was
getting along. Mrs Blake was dead.
Found Dead.
There she lay stretched out and stif.
There she lay when the coroner viewed the
remains and the sight was one that is not
often to be seen. Her coal black hair was
tossed back and fell in a tangled mass on
the floor about and beneath her head. Her
figure was horribly emaciated and the
coarse cotton garments that were open 10
the waist showed a pitifully wasted little
body, which was distorted in an un-humau
way as though death came in hideous form.
Some charitable ladies of Epiphany Church
who heard Of the case will see that she ha 8
