ACID THROWERS ENCOURAGED.
MRS. PFIsTER's CRIME FOLLOWS CLOSE oN
GRAND JURY's LENIENCY TOWARD
MRS. RYAN

The refusal Of the Grand Jury to indict MIS-
Annia RYAN who caused the death or Mrs Sarah
Mccarthy recently by throwing carbolic acid upon
her aroused considerable adverse comment at the
fine from persons who asserted that women would
thereby be ged to take the law into their
own hands when seeking revenge upon those VINO
had wronged them. These predictions were speedily
verified when Mrs. Mary Phster threw vitriol on
Roundsman Patrick Meehan on Wednesday. This
prompt sequence of crimes, so alike In their nature
and perpetrators, calls attention TO the fact that
not long ago in Paris similar laxity in enforcing
the law against female vitrol throwers resulted in
an alarming increase in the frequency OF that form
Of revenge and the outcry became so great against
a weak administration of the law In this respect
that a halt had to be called in sef-defence. Many
persons yesterday expressed hope that the Grand
Jury which refused TO indct Mrs. Ryan would lay
the lesson of Mrs. Pfsters close following crime
heart.
Meehan may die and Mrs. Pfster is In Bellevue
Hospital suffering from severe burns inflicted by
the vitriol which spashed back upon herself In

NO RACE, ONLY A COINCIDENCE.
THREE STEAMERS COME IN AT A LIVELY GAIT.
WITH PASSENGERS CHEERING.

THREE STEAMERS COME IN AT A LIVELY GAIT,
WITH PASSENGERS CHEERING.
The rivalry TO speed between the excursion
steamers Columbia st. John and General Socum
has this summer almost invariably resulted in some
fast going whenever any two or all Of them came
together. Some might say that they raced, but
their captains soemnly declare that they never
race their increase Of speed whenever they are
anywhere one another and going the same
way is probably merely coincidence.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock one Of these
condolences occurred. The Columbia coming
from Long Branch. and close behind her was the
St John her way from Sandy Hook. AS they
approached Fort Hamilton they were joined by
the Gen. Slocum, from Rockaway Beach, and then
the coincidence" manifested itself. The way those
steamers coincidentally smoked up was truly in
MIGRATING. and the passengers on the respective
boats became singulary interested and even ex-
cited, considering that there no race going on.
They crowded to the sides of the vessels and shout
ed and hurrahed, and some of them even made bets
on the-concidence. Those who bet the General
slocums end of It for she gave the others her
wake and came In ahead by nearly mile. She
couldn't have done better II II had been race
