Mt Dangerous.
New York, July 12.-Mrs. Mack was
found to be very i'll in the Tombs this
afternoon. She told Warden Shay that
she was unable to eat the prison fare,
and that IL she did not get some other
food she would die of starvation. She
appeared to be sick, and the warden
said that he would do what he could
for her
Mrs. Mack then told him that she had
money In the care of Acting Inspector
O'Brien at headquarters, which he had
taken from her when she was arrest
ed and that it had not been given back
to her. She wanted it to buy food for
herself.
Warden Shay then telephoned to In
spector O'Brien, who said that Mrs.
Mack had money there, but that she
had given an order for it to her lawyer
Emanuel Friend. She had not given
any further orders, and he knew that
he could do nothing with 1t until he
heard from Lawyer Friend.
Mrs. Nack's condition is not danger
Gus.
Thus far it has cost the city s12O to
drag the muddy bottom of the East
river along the routes Of the Tenth.
Third and Fourth avenues. The men
at work say that they have dragged
every inch of the bottom of the river
at the points mentioned, but without
success. This fact, instead of aiding
the prosecution, will tend to discredit
the truth of the story told by the Ital-
ian Gotha, who betrayed Thorn. The
harbor police now admit that if the
murdered mans head was ever thrown
overheard it will never be found.
Thorn after his return from court
cbatted pleasantly with the other pris-
oners in the hospital ward, but did not
discuss his case. He eats the prison
fare without complaint.

make 1t convenient to refuse to haul
coal"
Chief P. NJ, Arthur of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, was in
formed of the report that the Ohio
roads were going to refuse to haul
West Virginia coal, and was asked if
the engineers had filed any complaint
or had solicited any advice in the
premises. "None whatever; no COM
plaint has been made he replied.
II do not see how the trainmen are
at all involved in this strike. problem.
OF course they naturally sympathize
with the strikers, but do not anticipate
any refusal on the part of the trainmen
to haul coal"

New York, July 12.-Lightning struck
the state camp at Peekskill, selecting
the Y. M. C. A. tent as it's object. One
man was killed any many others badly
hurt. The storm was terrific one.
Rain fell during the entire day, and
as O. result the men did not have many
duties to~perform. A number gathered
In the Y. M. c. A. tent. occupied gem
orally by those who had writing to do.
About 2:S0 a score of the. men had
gathered there Suddenly there was a
binding flash Of lightning and in mo-
ment the tent was down and in flames.
A general alarm was sounded and the
guardsmen came at double quick.
Almost every man who had been un-
der the canvas was shocked by the
lightning. Corporal J. ]. Mcdonald OF
Co. A, Twenty-second regiment, was
dead. Half a dozen Of the men were
unconscious. The body Of Corporal Nc
Donald was the first taken out of the
mass Of ruins. The surgeons worked
over 1T for an hour or more, but their
efforts were fruitless. Those knocked
unconscious were revived, some Of them
only with great difficulty, and one or
two mem are still in O. serious condition.

papers could legally collect every dol
lar of their bills and that the common
council had no right to say how much
should be paid the papers. He thought
that if anything at all was done IN re-
gard to the financial part of the report
1t should be done carefully, and he ia
Vored referring the report to the poard
of finance, which, he said, was compos-
ed of tnanciers we'll able to deal with
the question.
Councilman Stewart also thought that
the report should be referred to the
board of finance.
Councilman Brown said that ignor-
ance of the law excused no one, and
that there was no reason Why the big
bills should be paid
Councilman Porter stated that he had
been told by a newspaper man that the
papers had two advertising rates, one
for the general public and one for the
city, and that the latter rate was high
er than the former. He though that If
there was any attempt 10 overcharge
the city that the common council
should settle the matter at once, so that
1t would not arise again.
Councilman Fuller said that the ma
Jority report made no recommendations
as to the amounts to be paid for the as
sessment advertising, as the Gentlemen
who signed the majority report decided
that the resolution which ordered the
investigation had called for no such
recommendation.
Councilman Graves moved that both
reports be accepted and placed on file,
but his motion was declared out of or
der.
The question on the adoption of the
minority report was then put and re-
suited in vote in favor of it's adop-
tlon.
The vote was as follows: Ayes. Coo
ney. Wrinn Flanagan, Clifford, Nader,
Kinstey, Fisher, Graves, Porter, Brown,
Coffey and Maher.
Nays, Fuller Liefeld Greuner, Smith,
Burgess, White, Loveland, Isbell, Stew
art and Thorpe.
Two reports were submitted by the
committee on ordinances in regard to
the selection of site for the conta gious
diseases hospital The majority report
favored the site already selected on
Clinton avenue, while the minority re-
port signed by Messrs. Tsbell and Bur
ton recommended the appointment by
the mayor of committee to select a
different site from the one on Clinton
avenue.
Councilman Nader moved the ac-
ceptance of the majority report. The
two reports were discussed at length
and on vote being taken the amend
ment accepting the minority report was
carried.
The proposed ordinance prohibiting
the erection of any awning in front
of the Hyperion theater was next
brought up, and Mr.. Burton, desiring
to speak on the matter called Council
man Greuner to the chair. After the
awning question had been discussed
for some time the board adjourned at
11:15 o'clock.
n 1t was expected that the question of
transferring $4,000 from the sinking
fund to the city treasury, which was
voted favorably on at the last meeting
of the board of aldermen, would come
UP last evening, but the matter was
not brought up.
