w. \. CASE d Co. are receiving man,
compliments on their Millinery Openings O.
last week. The "March farewell" of thi.
well equipped establishment was something
to be remembered. The Opening continued
from Thursday to Saturday inclusive, and
one visit meant another one for all so stu,
ated as to return, for no one purposely or
willingly missed as many repetitions of the
first visit as possible.
The spacious room was beautifully decor.
ated with finely wrought specimens of the
artists handiwork, reinforced by choice
contributions from natures bowers.
If "poems in ribbons" exist, some of them
found their birth in this collection. Dres.
den, Taffeta Silk-in short, everything i'm.
aginable in exquisite shades and designs,
was included in this well selected "rlbbon
ensemble" Pretty collarettes, new laces,
new hats from Paris-everywhere something
new. The Little Duchess" that the ladies
have been reading about in their magazines
and admiring in the fashion plates, was
there, rivaling in the delicacy of its esthetic
makeupits unique companion, the Napoleon.
A handsome hat was the "Prince of Wales"
garnished with row of sparkling cabschone
beneath the rim.

new this year. Very choice cases of new,

| Council held session one day last week
with representatives of the Turner Dye
Works. to consider proposition from that
| concern, which as we understand it, is sub
stantially this: The town is to release the
company from the payment of the $25, 900
loaned it in consideration of locating the
dye plant here, provided at the end of ten
years the Turner people shall have increased
the capital stock by $4,000 in addition to
the $4,000 released, and shall have made
certain material additions to the plant and
doubled the pay roll, which they claim is
$4,000 per year.
Council does not seem favorably inclined
to the proposition. In the first place SIC, 900

Buckeye Chair Co., and individual members
OF the Council express themselves in favor
OF expending the 1000 for public improve

people to afford them relief are in keeping

that lies at the foundation of humanity's
truest instincts and best conception of duty.
A young pilferer who has been making

ID. Nj. CIeweNs Residence Destroyed
by Fire.
Between and 10 O'Clock last Thursday
morning, an alarm of fire was sent in from
the residence of D. NJ. Clewell, corner OF
Bowery and Meridian streets. Mrs. l.. P.
Seymour, neighbor, was the first to dlscoV-
er the flames, which had already burst
through the roof and we're under vigorous
headway. The department were longer than
usual getting out, owing to the fact that the
horses were away from the barn, but did
good service when they got to work. Not
withstanding their efforts the beautiful home
was we'll nigh ruined.
The fire seemed to have originated from a
defective chimney in the south side of the
house, whence it travelled between the plas-
tering and outer walls, encircling the front,
side and roof of the main part, and pene-
trating a considerable distance into the rear
of the building. The upstairs apartments
were very badly burned and the whole house
and contents greatly damaged by fire and
water. Immediately under the room in
which the fire originated was the sleeping
apartment of brand Mrs.G. Waggoner, who
and domestic, we're the only occupants of
he building, Mr.. Clewell not yet having re-
:urned from the Holy Land. DIR. Waggoner
was attending patient in Streetsboro and
lid not learn of the fire until he was return
ng, about noon.
That the fire occurred in the daytime is a
natter of thankful appreciation.
The once fine residence presents a melan-
holy and desolate sight. A considerable
'ortion of the roof is gone, great holes ap.
'ear in the walls, and what remains standing
3 very badly scorched.
The building was insured for So 800, in the |
'henix, of Hartford, and Home, of New |
,ork, and the household goods for 81 500, in |
he same companies, both represented by
V. 81. Beebe, of this city. 1t is thought the
uilding can be repaired for somewhere near
ne amount of the insurance. The loss on
ne household goods is probably covered by
but among the articles destroyed
ere large number of keepsakes and relics,
ome of them very old, which money will
OF replace. Mr.. Clewell is expected home
bout the 18th.

WATER TIGHT COMPARTMENTS.
Their Value in Cases of Collision Evil
IDENTIFY Oyerestimated.


The water-tight compartment is one of
the most soothing and reassuring devices
which ship-builders have put into practical
use. Anybody who has ever crossed the
ocean on one of the modern steamers, of
which the Elbe was type, cannot have
failed to experience sense of abiding Sc
curity from the explanations of the officers
of the ship about the water-tight compart-
ments. Not only the longitudinal bulk

are so large and firm and so constantly in
the way of the passengers that they rapidly
learn to feel a great respect for them.
There IS not an officer on the ship, from
the doctor to the captain, who cannot ex-
plain to the entire satisfaction of every
passenger that owing to the bulkhead and
compartment system it is absolutely i'm
possible to sink the ship by collision with
another vessel. The customary wind-up
of any discussion on this subject is the
statement by the officer: 'Why, this ship
might be cut in two and so perfectly these
water-tight compartments work that both
ends would float independently of each
other" The fact that little Scotch steam
er crashed into one of these ships the other
day and sunk it in twenty minutes does
not seem to have any bearing upon the

MAISON DOREE ATTACHED
The Well-Known Kearny-Street Res
taurant in the Hands of
Sheriff Whelan.
a Mortgage and Claims Amounting to
$4,000 and Poor Business the
Cause of the Trouble.

The after-theater diners who assembled
at the Maison Doree, at pit Kearny street,
at IL o'clock last night were treated to an
event which did not appear on the menu.
The event alluded to was the appearance
of Sheriff Whelan and a deputy, who in
formed Mrs. L. Lony, the wife of the pro-
prietor, that he was compelled to place an
attachment on the place at the instance of
creditors, whose claims aggregate $4,000.
In pursuance of his duty Sheriff Whelan
attached the money in the cash register.
amounting to $11. He then placed the
deputy in charge OF the restaurant and
went upstairs, where the Six-Thirty Club
was holding its annual meeting. The $25
which it intended to pay to the owner of
the apartment was turned over to the
Sheriff and he retired from the scene.
The story of the attachment is an inter
esting one Mr.. Lony conducted the Mai
son Doree for six years. He purchased the
good will of the business and stock in trade
Consisting of furniture on four floors, an
extensive caterers outfit, ETC., for 500, 000
Some time ago business became dull and
Lony was forced to make loan OF $4,000
from Mrs. Suter, living at the William
Tell House, giving her as security mort
gage for that amount on the furniture and
stock contained in the building. Lony
found himself unable to meet his pay
ments, and a few days ago he gave bill of
sale TO Mrs. Suter, whose son, Daniel E.
Suter, the attorney, then took possession
| of the place.
When the creditors, consisting mainly of
| wholesale grocers and caterers supply
houses heard of the transfer they began to
wonder how they were to collect their
money. A meeting was held yesterday
and late in the afternoon it was decided to
attach the place. The papers were then
made out and served at II o'clock last
night.
Mrs. Lony states that the difficulty was
due to the hard times and warm competi-
ton. Her husband found it to be impos-
sible to pay the monthly rental of $500 and
meet the other expenses. Inasmuch as
Mrs. Suter was the heaviest creditor he
concluded to turn over the business to her
| in consideration of u release from the in
debtedness.
The other creditors object to this pro-
cedure strenuously and it is certain that
| litigation will ensue. The creditors de-
mand that the place be put in charge of a
receiver. 1t is understood that this matter
will come up in court to-day. Meanwhile
the business will remain in charge of the
| Sheriff.

CHASE TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Several Societies to Which He Belongs
Are Anxious to Make
Inquiries.
Mrs. Nelson's Interesting Account of
Chase's Remarkable Bust
ness Methods.

The reputation of John G. Chase, an ex-
PEELED Forester, who wants 500 900 from THE
CALL for exposing his rascality, is begin
ming to prove stumbling-block in the
Ancient Order of Foresters of America, of
which he is now member.
The stories published in THE CALL con-
corning Chase have had the effect of rous-
ing the officers of the American branch of
the order to action. and at the next meet
ing of the Grand Council steps will be
taken to investigate his record.
'sThe matter of investigating Chase" said
Grand Secretary c. III. Bremen yesterday,
"was discussed last evening by Sol Peiser,
grand recording secretary, S. L. Waller,
grand treasurer, and myself. The opinion
was expressed that if John G. Chase was
guilty of the crimes imputed to him he
was a disgrace to the order and ought to be
expelled. 1t is not the object of the
Ancient Order of Foresters of America to
screen any one whose character is ques-
tionable. Ii Mr.. Chase is thief and per-
iurer, as The CALL says he is, he will not
long remain member of this order. | do
not know the man very we'll as he has
been a member of the order only a. few
weeks | regret the notoriety the Ameri-
can Foresters have gained through Chase s
connection with the order.''
Solomon Peiser said he was in favor OF
an immediate investigation and in his
Judgment the Grand Council was forced to
take action at once, or rest under the
stigma of sheltering renegade from an
other order.
Chase is also member of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen and of the Red
Men. 1t was reported yesterday that in
the near future these orders would inquire
officially into his case and if sufficient evil
dence could be obtained in proof of the

Mrs. Nelson of 80312 Treat avenue, for
whom Chase built dwelling house some
time ago, charges that he swindled her in
the construction of the building.
''He claimed money. said she, for
work which he did not do, and in many
other ways took advantage OF me. He was
totally unprincipled in as conduct toward
me. 1 had no redress in court, for he
produced periured testimony against me
and won his case. He thinks he is smart,
and there is no denying the fact that he is
a clever scoundrel, who succeeds in cover
ing up his tracks very well. He has been
sued very :often, but it always turned out
that his property was in his wife's name.
That is the sort of man John G. Chase is,
and l am glad that THE CALL has exposed
him as he deserved to be exposed
There are numerous stories af1oat con-
Meeting Chase's name with the criminal
calendar of the Police Court. He was once
arrested for cruelty beating little girl on
Powell avenue, and some years ago he
caused the arrest of woman who, angered
at some act of his, broke his nose with a
beer bottle. He openly declares that he
has pull in the Police Court and is III a
position to defy any one.
