1HE GOULD CLAIMANT.
Counsel For the Alleged Widow With
drew From the Case.

New York, Nov. 9.--W. Il. Ward, coun-
sci for Mrs. Angel, who made claim TO
being Jay Gould's widow, appeared be-
fore Justice Smith in the supreme court
and asked the. Judge TO make an crder
dismissing the complaint and giving him
leave TO discontinue the action. lie SAID
he was thoroughly convinced that there
was no foundation for this action. and he
made this motion for the reason that.
having commenced this action yoiuntar-
lily and made the charges, he thought
II was no more than justice TO the de-
PENDANTS that he should take the In
itiative in having the action dismissed
rather than allow IL TO be called on the
calendar.
Elihu Root, who represented the Gould
heirs, warmly commended Mr.. Wards
action. He thought, however. that the
complaint should not be dismissed with
out such a record being made as TO con-
clusively and forever bar the plaintiff
from reassertlng her claim. They in
tended, he said to take action against
the authors Of this conspiracy TO blacken
the reputation and blackmail the heirs
of the late Mr.. Gould. He thought that
Mrs. Angel should be committed TO
this motion, and suggested that the
Justice should make such an order as
would provide for personal notice to her
that this proceeding had been dismissed
and prove that she had authorized the
discontinuance of this suit Otherwise
she might afterwards claim that she
was not a party 10 this motion. He
would rather have the case set down for
trial and let her employ other counsel
and. If she failed 10 avail herself of
that opportunity. then her case should
be dismissed on the merits.
The ustice directed an order TO be
entered denying the motion, and fol-
lowed that by another order providing
that the action should be preferred on
the circuit calendar for the first Monday
in December and that personal service
OF this order be made upon the plaintiff
in the action.

tons Grove Tower.
STRUCK WITHBLACKJACK
While Insensible Watch, Ring and
Money We're Taken.
POLICE SEARCHING FOR CROOKS

Charles Il. Hamilton, telegraph operator
and tower man at Horizons Grove, was
visited by two masked men at 2:2O O'Clock
this morning nt the tower and relieved
of gold watch valued at $50, n dia-
mond ring valued $3.50. and $40 in
cash. There are some peculiar circum-
stances about the robbery which may
finally lead To the Identification of the
robbers Hamilton was left partially un-
conscious and over half an hour elapsed
before he had recovered from the blow of
black jack on the head, To send tele-
graph message to headquarters In this
city.
Inc tower is near Smithfleld avenue
and the two men who visited it and com
mitted the robbery, it would seem from
certain remarks made in regard to Ham
ilton's property. they must have known
they were taking big chances for there are
generally men moving about the yard at
all hours
Ii was shortly before 2:20 o'clock that
the operator was sitting in the tower
awaiting a message when he heard the
men coming up the stairs. The men came
into the tower and they did not gsle the
usual salutation, but Hamilton did not
mind that when he saw the men had
masks on and wore red handkerchiets
about the lower part of their faces. lilo
thought il was joke. n rather gruesome
one might be. but he was determined
not to be taken in so he very coolly
made a pleasant remark. According TO
mis- present story the men were not look
in x for fun of q wet morning Tor thelr
damp clothes seemed to have chilled thelr
spirits for they MADE very ugly remark.
This remark they followed with oaths
and demand for MIR. Hamilton's roll
his watch and z.
Even these Dc sands aud the roughness
accompanying IL did not convince Hamll-
ton that his visitors might not be yard
men whose object in the visit was TO tell
some hours later of good practical JOKE
He found ii Was no joke, however. Tor
his watch. ring and that roll ana were
demanded. Then Hamilton said. II have
no roll, no watch, no ring Then the
man who was the chief talker made some
remarks which apparently showed he
knew sinething about the operators per-
sonal property for he said preluding ms
demand with more oaths. "We want that
roll that watch and that ring that l
know you have" One OF the chaps
crushed i'm between Mr.. Hamilton's chair
and the telegraph instrument and this
man had a revolver and his companion a
black jack. It was hard for the operator
to give up and the man with the black
Jack. Message WAS quickly sent along the
line aud at eight minutes OF o CLOCK
Lieutenant John A. Murray of the Second
police station was notified by the railroad
company Very quickly the Lieutenant
ordered out the reserves the mounted
men and the patrol we're sooE in requisl-
on and in the midst Of a terrible shower
and investigation under the direction of

CONFERENCE WITH CANADIANS.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Among the plans
suggested for a settlement OF the sealing
question is that of an indemnity large
enough to permit Canada to buy out the
scalers and retire them from business.
With this done. the United States. Rus
sia, Japan, Great Britain and Canada
would be together in a suppression OF
pelagic sealing. There is no determina-
ton, however, to advance this plan In
preference to others, and the scope of
the settlement will remain in doubt until
the negotiations open.
Sir Wilfred Laurier and his associates
will urge strongly al the conference this
week that the border immigration ques-
tion be settled, and on this point will con-
fer with the president. Under the
premier's direction the Canadian parlla-
ment passed an alien immigration law
last spring by which American contrac-
tors and American labor were barred
from competing in the work on the
Crows Nest pass railway. a government
undertaking in western Canada. on the
other hand 1t is claimed by the Cana dians
that about 5000 Americans are IN the
klondike territory belonging to Canada.
and that fully 10000 American contract
laborers arc working in the mines of
British Columbia. The United States
immigration laws. Il is asserted. are ad-
rlinistered with harshness along the
Canadian border and are daily source
OF irritation. Sir Wilfred therefore will
suggest that the causes Of irritation be
removed on both sides. II is understood
that he is prepared to offer repeal OF
Canadian restrictions in the Klondike
and other regions IL the administration
Of the American law is made more lem

Schultz to have two teeth that ached ex-
traoted. but the doctor induced her to
have two other teeth attended to and in
filing one of these used something to

poison. She alleges that the poison made
her mouth very sore, and caused her TO
lose her sleep and 70 stay at home from

her teeth used her very roughly and in
suited her.

had TO WORK first upon was very sore. It
was the lady assistant -his-eiliee- he
testified, that held the plaintiff which he
was working on the latter's teeth.
