scale than here, the municipality simply

tinuous. In fact, the persons who started

TO enlarge their public benefaction and

The Commissioners may not have the
requisite funds to extend the refuse box
system very much, but it may be possible
for them to add a few streets. Mean
while they should ask Congress for an ap-
preparation sufficiently liberal 10 enable
them to put up the refuse boxes on all
business streets After while the resi-
dental sections would get their chance.
The usefulness OF these receptacles win
become evident to anyone who will take
a walk OF say a half hours duration
through any dozen OF streets, business or
private. he may select. The majority of
them have the appearance as il some
gigantic rag bag had become undone
and its contents blown by the wind an
over town. The accumulation of the
stuff is simply astounding. 1t is thrown
Into the streets carelessly, thoughtIessly,
and because people have no other place
to put it. If the refuse boxes were
put up at the corners the majority Of
persons would carry their waste paper
and deposit it in them rather than see
their sidewalks and not infrequently a
Goodly portion of the driveway Uttered up
with it. The cost of this Improvement
would be comparatively small, even il it
were extended, as it should be, over the
whole city. 1t would be money well spent,
for it would relieve our beautiful streets
OF a serious drawback.

One Man Was Killed.

Boston. Dec. 15.-Adyiees received from
Fernandina, Fla, state that the schooner
James f. Woodhouse, Capt Bridgewater,
which arrived at that port Saturday from
Teneriffe, had on board Capt. Gibbons
and mate and one seaman OF the New
Bedford whaling schooner Sarah W. Hunt.
The Hunt left the Azores on October
3 to continne her whaling cruise On No
vember the vessel sprung bad leak,
making t necessary to put into Teneriffe
for repairs. on examination it was found
that five of her planks were started
and very loose and she was hauled on the
ways for repairs.
While this was being done the main cable
attached to the engine broke, letting the
vessel back. the recoil OF the cable killing
one man and injming two others.
The vessel lay at anchor and that night
during heavy sea she parted from her
inoorings and drifted ashore. She was
subsequently pulled off by a tug for which
services they libeiled the vessel.
The schooner was total wreck and
not seaworthy and was condemned. The
remainder of the whaier's crew were fur
nisled with transportation to New York
by the American consul.

BELMONT SUED FOR S35.
Firm of Decorators Claim Expenses
for Trip TO Newport.


for Trip to Newport.
New York. Dec. 15.-aIr. .. Fl. P. Bel
mont and his lawyer, Mr.. Duer, of Deyo,
Duer & Bensdorf, were on hand in the
Third judicial district court this morning
to conduct their end OF fight for S35
with Peter Dunn & Co., as holders OF a
claim of A. Koeher & Co, of Union Square
The latter firm are decorators, and were
engaged by Mr.. Belmont, he said, 10 make
lay figures TO sustain several sets of an
cient arInor he wished to set up in his
Newport house. This they did. and sent
in bill for S35, $3.50 OF which was
for work at the rate of ST per hour; a
charge which in their bill is marked as
agreed upon
The remainder OF the $35 went, they say.
for travelling expenses to and from New
port, and hotel charges there while at
work. Mr. Belmont refused to pay the biz
on the ground that the work had been
badly done.
Later Koehler & Co. assigned their claim
to Peter Dunn & Co., who brought suit
through their attorney, Mayf Payne, OF
156 Fifth avenue.
For long time il was impossible, said
Major Payne, to serve the summons and
complaint upon Mr.. Belmont. His door was
always guarded by an English butler who,
according to the lawyers story. took
yindictive pleasure in keeping ont any
one bearing the least Sernhlance TO lawyeT's
clerks.
Mr. Payne himself, he said, could not gain
adrnittance on one occasion. Finally Major
Payne seutHenry Mansfield, an En- nsliSi,Han,
to serve the summons He succeeded in see
ing Mr. Belmont. said Payne, by represent
ing himself as a recent arrival from Eng
land bearing messages from Mr.. Eelmonts s
friends abroad The butler, was deceived,
and the papers were served.
This story Mr.. Belmont denied this morn
ing Mansfield represented himself as
poor actor, he said at first, and asked for
assistance. After consulting with his law
yer Mr. Belmont modified this account slight
ly, saying that Mansfield called d second
time, and sent up a card disclosing the true
object Of his visit.
Mr.. Belmont wore a pepper and salt

gartled the proceedings in an interested
way. Tie case was No. 3 Oh a calendar
of tw enty, and was the second called for
trial Then Major Payne discovered
that his witnesses were absent. aid asked
permission of the court to place the case
lower on the calendar. Mr.. Duer was
willing, and Mr.. Belmont. after character
izing the whole proceedings as nuisance,
also consented.
Major Payne then endeavored to reach
his witnesses By telephone, but failed.
and came into the court room to ask for
an adjournment. The two lawyers con-
suited about the date, ,sand finally asked
Mr. Belmont il d week from today would

The two lawyers consulted again for
few minutes, and then asked Mr.. Bel
mont if he could put IN an appearance ON
December %, which is a week from to-
morrow. Mr. Belmont answered in the
affirmative. The lawyers announced to
the court that they would be ready ON
that date, and then they discovered that
court would not be held on December 23.
After further consultation. the case was
put on the calendar for December "a, and
Mr.. Belmont left the courtroom in COM
pany with his lawyer.
Major Payne still sticks TO his story
about the way in which the summons as
served, and IS ready to produce the clerk,
Mansfield, in proof OF it. MFR. Belmont said
the whole story is cooked up He seemed
To find the case rather interesting, al
though bit Of nuisance.
