WOULDN'T HAVE HIS LEG CUT OFF
Now Peter DAILY Will Probably Lose
His Life as NXeu as the Limb.

A gang of employees of the Central
Railroad Company were walking toward
the Pacific avenue station last night
when one of their number stumbled over
a body which to all appearances was
lifeIess.
The body was carried to the station
house when the man opened his eyes
and complained of his foot. When ex-
amined, it was found that his left foot
was crushed almost out of shape.
An ambulance removed him to the
City Hospital, where he said his name
was. Peter H. Daily, twenty five years of
age. and living at No. 1,ol4 Second ave-
nue., New York
The doctors at the hospital decided to
amputate his leg, but DAILY would not
consent.
Warden Osborne notified his relations,
who came to see him and upheld his
objection to amputation.
In the night Inflammation set in and
greatly weakened him.e This morning
DAILY agreed to allow the doctors to cnt
off his leg, but it is doubtful If the oper-
alton can be safely performed at this

bard Taylor Smith of Indiana made the
highest percentage in the examination

LONDON, Jurse "a, 1S95.-The Cornell
men have been made honorary members
of the Sports and Leander Clubs, and
Guy Nickells, the famous amateur scul-
Ter, has invited the crew to take din
ner and stay over night with him after
the race. Sir John Moss and other
notable persons call frequently at the
Cornell quarters, and every one treats
the crew with marked consideration.
They are anXiously awaiting cabled in
formation from home as to the result
of the intercollegiate race at Pough-
keepsie.
Before taking breakfast at Henley
yesterday the members of the Argondut
Rowing Club of Toronto. went out and
had a long spin on the river and this
afternon they took a long bicycle ride.
The Cornell crew spent the day in
resting. Today the Cornell men went
down the course and back three times.
Returning they made two spurts of a
minute each at forty stroke. Leh-
man, the coach of the Leanders,- wit
messed their work and expressed his
disapproval of their style.
The Argonauts went to Rambledon and
back today, rowing easily and steadily
at thirty-six stroke. Their boat seems
weak and too small.
E. A. Thompson of the Argonauts
took a long pull at the single sculls,
travelling very fast.

THE TABLES TURNED.
CompIaiuant Against Green Goods
EEen Arrested Himself.

Francis Nevin, alias G. S. Rivers, was
placed on trial today IN the General
Sessions on an indictment for dealing in
| "green goods" The story of his oper-
atoms has been fully told in THE
Jersey City News" In brief the facts
were these:-On January % John Shelf
field came from Watkins Glen, New
York, to meet Nev:n at Taylors Hotel.
Nevin was to sell him some green
goods" When Sheffield met Nevin the
latter had companion with him The
three went to a room in the hotel and
Nevin took S1,600 good money from his
pocket and said, "This is the kind of
goods we deal in.''
and drawing a heavy blackjack from his
pocket struck Neyin on the head with
t. Sheffield fled down stairs to the
panion. They caught Sheffield on the
Sidewalk, and Detective McNally, who
was standing there, arrested the green
escaped. Sheffield and the S1,6oO We're
taken to Police Headquarters Shef-
field had an examination be4ore the
Police Justice and was discharged. The
money was conflscated because Shelf
field admitted it was not his and the
green goods men failed t call for it.
Three months later Nevin was found
and arrested.
Detective McNally today testified to
these facts. and Detective Dalton swore
three or four years ago. He then went
by the name of Rivers. Chief Murphy
testified to the arrest of Nevin in New
York and proceedings for extradition, and
Sheffield was then put on the stand.
He testified that he received two letters
from Nevin. one of which made the ap-
pointment at Taylor's Hotel. He, said
further that he told McNally, when he
saw him on the sidewalk, that he want

that he had ever had conversation with
Judge Hanna about taking money not
Haven't you been promised money

trial?''
'Didn't, you say to Judge Hanna that
you wouldn't. identify Nevin If he paid
you money!"
THAT is ALL said the Prosecutor
Ex-Judget Hoffman and Alexander
Simpson declined to cross-examine the
Louis Miller testified that he worked
at Taylor's Hotel on the day in ques-
ton and that he never saw Nevin or
Rivers there.
That closed the case. and the Court
directed an accuittal for want of iden-
tifcation.
The Court then ordered Sheffield taken
into custody on charges of larceny and
atrocious assault.

BAD FOR WILLIAM NOW
The Henry Suspects Story Con-
tradieted Alleged New
CleWs.

BROOKLYN, June 24, 1S95-The police
have given up hope of finding the bloody
clothing which must have been worn
by the murderer of the miser. Charles
w. Henry, at No. 95 South Portland
avenue. and they are now engaged in
bringing to the surface all the dark
places in the life of William Henry,
who they feel confident committed the
atrocious crime.
Hitherto their efforts seem to have
been mainly directed in proving that
William Henry was worthless, if not
absolutely vicious.
The police feel that the drift of pub
lie opinion is now turning against the
prisoner in Raymond street Jail. His
record supraFes vhi1ns thay say, to- have
been less harmless than was at first
thought. Superintendent McKelvey said
today:-"We are positive thai the old
man was murdered between Wednesday
night ard Thursday morning. All the
circumstances point to that. The blinds
were down on Thursday, the old man did
not go out to buy his two cents worth
of rolls or daily papers; his account
of expenses stops with Wednesday, and.
in a word, it seems conclusive that he
was dead at o'clock Thursday morning.
Now strong contradiction of WI
'liam's story in most important point
is that furnished by the people who are
friendly to him The Walkers say. they
saw him trying to get into the house
on Wednesday. Baker Riley also saw
him there and so did the barber. Now
William Henry declares positively that
he was not near the house after Satur-
day previous to the murder when he and
his mother were turned out of doors by
the old man"
When asked concerning the second ar
Superintendent McKelvey sad that some
clews had been discovered in the house
which were at first overlooked. They
We're being followed, and they might
lead, to an important discovery. It was
still too early to tell, he added.

loss of attention and services on the
part of his wife. Mrs. David Al Louns-
bury of this city was thrown from a
carriage two years ago and sustained
severe injuries. She sued the city for
Sc, 600 and the Superior Court allowed her
500. Then her husband sued for $4,000
claiming damages because he was de-
prived of the services and society of his
wife, and was obliged to pay for medical
attendance. The city demurred claim
ing the statute did not provide for losses
of this character. The Supreme Court
