Brook Ign. son OF Walter Coleman OF Brooklyn.
told story in Wall street yesterday Of tho
loss OF Sl2.OOO by robbery in Forty-second
street on Wednesday night, The police have
not been notified of tho loss. as tho young man
thinks he can trace the thief more quickly
through private detectives.
On Wednesday Mr.. Coleman says he sent q
young friend OF his to Albany to close up real
estate deal for him. Mr.. Coleman had some
property an Albany man was ready to buy. and
all that was to be done was to exchange the
money and the deed. On Wednesday night he
had no word from the young man he had sent
to Albany. He expected to hear from him by
telegraph on Thursday morning. Instead he
received word that his agent was In a hospital
suffering from injuries received near the
Grand Central Station.
When Mr.. Coleman saw the young man he
learned that the deal was closed satisfactorily
in Albany on Wednesday evening. and that tho
Albany purchaser had given the young man
$4,000 in greenbacks in payment for the
property. The money the Young man put in
the inside pocket OF his wuistcoat and then
pinned it to he pocket. He took the last train
out of Albany for New York.
Near him in the coach. he told Mr. Coleman.

train stopped at each station. The train 10
due in New York ten minutes before mid
night When the young man left the train. he
said. the mulatto followed him, and as he was
walking through Forty second street the mu-
atto came w behind him and sandbaRged
him. When he recovered consciousness he
found newsboy bending over him. His 81
900 was gone. The thief had torn out the sds
OF his waistcoat containing the inside pocket.
The young man was sent to hospital.
Mr.. Coleman refuses to give any particulars.
He told a sun reporter last night that tho
young man Is now out of town. No patient
from the Grand Central station region was re-
ceivsd at Be levuc Hospital or Flower Hospital
on Wednesday night. so far as the hospital
records show. Neither tho Grand Central sta

bottle containing carbolc acid into her face.
Il heard a step close behind me" said Miss Muir

for the Judge and lawyers to inspect. Il turned
partly around to see who il was. and Mrs. Main
who had been following me for distance
threw something into my face. She was close
beside when she did it. cried out from pain.
and ran into doorway short distance away"
The police were unable TO discover any one who
witnessed the alleged assault, and there was no
one to corroborate Miss Murray except her aunt
| TO whose house she went after she was injured
| She had acid upon her face but none Of il was
| spilled upon her clothing
Il was in my own home when she put the acid
on her own face, said Mrs Main, tesufyng in her
own behalf. She put strong emphasis upon the
last words OF her sentence, and her attorney told
the court that he expected to show that Miss Muir
ray had an object in mutatng herself with acid
so that she might accuse Mrs Main of assaulting
her

the States Attorney Il never saw any of IT,

According 10 N. Muhlfeld. the Comtdie
FRANCHISE Is going TO ruin and the one-time
most famous theatre in Europe has now be-
come the home OF Indifferent acting and bad
plays. while bankruptcy stares It in the face.
Complaints are made that the best French
actors are not engaged. while tho best of those
who are employed are allowed to leave the
theatre and act elsewhere.
As matter Of fact. these charges greatly ex-
aggerate the real state OF affairs. II. Claret6
Is not responsible for the absence from the
Coincide Franchise OF such leading actors ms
Noblet. Gintry and Huguenot who prefer the
enormous salaries they can earn in other
theatres to the comparative pittance paid by
the Coincide.
For the same reason and for want OF funds
for the purpose OF paying salaries. NJ Claretle
is compelled to allow member OF tho COM
pany to go on a tour in order 10 add TO their
incomes. Otherwise the company would break
up.
As regards bankruptcy. the reserve fund Of
the Coincide FRANCHISE is 100000. which is
double what it was when NJ. ClaretiG was
appointed. The receipts for lS'lS were greater
than for any year in the previous ten. Tho
decrease this year was chiefly attributable to
