ATTEMPTED ROBBERY NEAR BRYANT PARK
PREVENTED BY A PHILADELPHIA
BUSINESS MAN.

An attempt OF two seedy looking men to rob an
unknown man near Bryant Park last evening. be-
fore dark was prevented BY a man who said he
was George A. Wallace. merchant Of Phila-
dephia who Is staying at the Grand Union Hotel.
Wallace says he walking along Forty-sec-
ond-st in the direction OF Fffth-ave, when he was
accosted by the two men. who asked him to assist
them In getting something to eat They said that
they had had nothing TO eat for two days and
night that they were mechanics, strangers In this
city and out Of employment They added that
they would be grateful for any amount or money.
no matter how small
After listening 10 their story Wallace gave 10
cents 10 the men, wished them good luck and
hoped that they would soon secure employment.
He regarded them suspicious characters. and
decided to watch them. The men walked In the
direction OF F'lfth-ave. for about fifty feet. when
Wallace them stop a well dressed man. to
whom they repeated their story. The man refused
10 help them and proceeded toward Sixth-ave.
Wallace who had all the time been standing back
OF the men, out Of sight, says he heard one OF the
men say Let take It from him"
The two then ran toward the man who had re-
fused to help them and grabbed him by the neck.
Wallace ran up and told the men they ought to be
ashamed OF themselves, and then called for the
police.
Policemen Clements. Of the West Thirtieth-st.
station heard the call and ran toward the crowd
which had been attracted When the two men saw
Clements they broke through the crowd and ran
toward the park. They kept together until the
centre walk was reached. when they ran In diff
ferent directions.
Clements followed the one who toward Sixth
ave When the man reached the Fortieth-st. gate
he ran through and closed the gate after him.
Clements. who within ten feet OF him, pulled
his revolver from his pocket and called out to the
fellow that IL he did not stop he would fire. The
man threw up his hands and called out:
Don't fire. III give up
Clements took his man 10 the West Thirteth-st.
station house where he gave his pedigree to Ser
geant Daily. He said he was Edward Haughey.
twenty nine years old no home, friends.
When searched there was found In the prisoners
pockets s.. Haughey's companion escaped
In the excitement the man who had been held up
disappeared Wallace went to the station house
and assured Sergeant DAILY that Ae would appear
AGAINST Haughey in court.

No Information is yet obtainable as to the loss

DETAILS OF THE HEARING.

The knowledge that members or the Municipai
Council and OF the Board OF Aldermen were to be
called before the Mazet Committee and the ex-
pectation that an unusually interesting session
would result attracted a much larger attendance
TO Part TX OF the Supreme Court yesterday than on
the two previous days OF the present series OF
hearings The Councilmen and Aldermen who had
been subpnnaed were early on hand and they oc-
c,pied their time before the committee convened In
speculatins among themselves on the nature OF the
evidence they would be called upon to give Ihey
were all Of the opinion, however. that Mr.. Mosss
examination would In some way revolve around the
bond controversy.
Francis ]. Lantry, Commissioner or Correcuon'
was the first witness. Mr.. Lantry started out by
asking the privilege Of reading statement con-
tradictine a newspaper article published yesterday
morning relating to his Department. The request
was refused Mr. Moss remarking that he might
communicate his statement privately and the COM
p,,ttea would then decide as TO the proprfety OF II
going upon the record. Mr.. Moss plunged at once
into the reasons that moved Commissioner Lantry
IN etve all his Departments building and repairing
contracts and architectural work to Horgan Stat
terry.
WHY HE CHOSE HORGAN & SLATTERX.
.why did you select this hrm." Mr. Moss asked.
and the only answer the witness would give after
parleying over the question for some moments. was
that he thought the two men were capabls he had
known them for a number Of years and he had
given them the work partly because they were his
friends.

ferryboat came back to the Manhattan side.
/. F. Logger, agent OF the Long Island Express
Company, Luckey's employer congratulated
him and permitted him TO go 10 his home.
The ferryboat Oregon was trying 10 get into
her slip at the Roosevelt-st. ferry when Hauser
jumped. She, too had many passengers aboard,
and they were as excited as those on the South
ampton.
The car that brought Hauser from Coney ISL
and. together with the little girl who was In part
the innocent cause of all the trouble, proceeded
on It's way after the incident.
William Cannon, bridge rigger, and Police
men Walsh and English. Of the Bridge squad
say they saw Hauser leap. but were too far
away to prevent him. They say his act proves
the need Of more policemen on the Bridge, and
declare that it is possible now for any passenger
on any Of the cars or wagons to make the jump
as the policemen are several hundred feet apart
on the Bridge. Unusual vigilance will be exerted
for some days now, as formerly an effort to
jump from the Bridge has attracted one or more
cranks desrous of emulating the feat" and
especially true is this If the jumper survived.
FRIENDS CANNOT BELIEVE 1T.
The Herald Square Theatre is closed. Several
persons seen last night thought it incredible
that Mr.. Hauser, who is treasurer would make
the jump. They said that they knew OF nothing
that might make Mr.. Hauser do such a thing,
and one man said he did not think he would do
1t "even with big jag on"
Herman Hauser was in the box office of the
Herald Square Theatre last season, and acted
treasurer Of the theatre He was formerly
connected with Hooley's Theatre in Chicago.
He had been despondent Of late and is said to
have threatened at various times to commit
suicide.
Mr.. Hauser. while connected with Hooleys
Theatre, married a Miss Hurd of Milwaukee.
He separated from her after coming to
New-York, and subsequently married May
Horneman. The latter created some notoriety
for herself and her husband by appearing in the
sketch, An Affair of Honor"

Port-au-Prince, Hayti. Aug. 8-The political

The prompt action Of the United States Min
lister here, William r. Powell in the case OF NJ.
Du Vivier, the newspaper man who was taken
by police officers out Of the American Legation,
has created an excellent impression among the
foreign population. who consider that the ac-
ton Of the Haytian Government in surrender
ing the prisoner to the Minister on his demand
probably avoided serious trouble.
The people who have been arrested here are
accused Of plotting the overthrow or the GOV
ernment and the American Minister has asked
the latter to exercise clemency toward the pris-
oners.
Washington, Aug 3-Acting Secretary OF
State Adee has received cable dispatch
from Minister Powell, at Port-au-Prince Hayti,
