Which He Asks $4,000.

Bef re Judge Douglass and jury was tried
today the suit Of Patrick +. Timothy against
James Casey OF Pawtucket TO recover $1,000 for
services rendered during a period OF many
years. The story told by Patrick and his
mother is that when be and his mother came
70 this country from Ireland. Is years ago. the
defendant agreed TO take Patrick and edu-
cate him. Since that time, or at least, for tho
past 10 years. the young man claims he has
worked hard for Mr.. Casey, but has received
no equivalent for the services given. The de-
fendant denies that the alleged agreement
was ever made and also says that he has been
a very necessary friend to the plaintiff s
mother and done his best for h'r son.

CLEANED IT OUT
Tailor Shop Stripped Of
Cloth and Trousers.
Some Person Got There Be-
fore Partner Gunny Did.
Has His Suspicious, and Has Asked
Police Assistance.

The firm of Gunny & Schneider, psnts-
loon makers in the Hennessey Block on
Canal street has been dissolved in a most
abrupt manner, not at all to the liking Of
the senior partner. Yesterday afternoon
there was in stock 1920 worth OF cloth,
Sla0 worth of which had just been re-
ceived aud paid for through a draft on
the Fifth National Bank of New YORK,
with money that Gunny had borrowed
from q servant girl.
Inc concern had an order from the
Manufacturers Outlet Company fo- go
dozen of pantaloons to be delivered Sat
uroay aud the estimated profit for the
makers on this order would have been,
1t Is claimed, about $500.
That was the fiourishing condition of
the concern yesterday afternoon when the
partners said good day to each other and
shut up sbop for the day.
Ibis morning Meyer Gunny went to
the shop early SO ss to gain time on that
order for sixty dozens, but he found 90
he alleges that Moses Schneider or some
BODY else had boon there even earlier and
not a square yard of that S420 worth OF
cloth nor pair of trousers was In the
place.
The supposition is that the stock was
lifted last night at IL O'clock, carted
away In an express wagon and is now in
Q storehouse In the city.
Mr.. Gunuy has asked the detectives to
look it up and never expects to see bi,
cloth again. Moses Was recently married

Escaping Pupils Wedged Into
a Storm Porch.
Many Borne TO the Floor by Pres
sure From the Rear.
Ten Were Trampled Under Foot and
Very Dangerously Injured.

Boston, FEB. ia fire In q waste
floor OF the Everett school house on
Mort hampton street, resulted in . panic
among the scholars this forenoon, by
which ten children are now living st the
city hospital and three others at their
homes In severely crushed and battered
condition.
The nre was Immediately extinguished
but as considerable smoke mad filed the
building, the principal decided to
give the dismissal ST. nal. The children
Ia the upper stories marched down In an
orderly manner until they reached
the first floor where the smoke was dense.
There they made break for the doors
which was guarded by q storm porch
with doors opening on the sides. Inc
cuttJreu were forced by their companions
bebina lnem to the partition In front OF
tue siae doors bat they had not time to
turn round aud make their escape. In
short SPACE of time the children were
lyiog ten deep in the porthway amidst
the screams and shouts Of the Injured
little ones.
The teachers Immediately went TO the
rescue and in short time had cleared
the porch when IL was found that the
following had been severely injured ana
taken to the hospital:
EIlii Mstcslf.9 years, severe contusions
Sophia Frank, 8 years, coBtusions.
Nellie Hoag, years.
Mary Linneban, 9 years; an unknown
girl, 8 years, unconscious.
sadie Mcneil, 10 years, confusion.
Four oIher chff1ren who are uucon-
scious and whose names cannot be ascer-
| tanned.
The following were taken to their
homes by police smbulan'es: Isabella
Lindsay, IL years, Injuries to limos.
Dora Bernstein, II years, broken wrist.
Jones, IL We RS, injuries TO left arm.
At the lime of the fire there were over
| 200 Gull rem in the school and the excite
ment was so intense that IL seems incred-
| ibls that a number Of others were not
/ incluoed am, ng the injured.
After the excitement caused by the
| tire had subsidel and the injured ones
were taken away, several burned matches
were found close to the waste basket, in
which the blaze started. As there would
be no occasion for matches being used In
the room, he opinion is expressed by one
1 Of the lire msrshsIs assistants that "Ii
looks Ms though the fire must have beer
started by some OF the pupils either &C.
cidentaly or out OF mi chief"
Several city councilmen and nam bei
of the school committee visited the scboo
ard m, assured the doors In the st oru
porch. They were found TO be exact,
thirty inches in width. II WIS through
THESE two doors that the 700 children at
tempted 20 force their way The scboo
Sommi- toner's are severely criticised 10
