Terence O'Reilly Of 517 East Seventy second

Peter Murphy, who complained that the man
assaulted him in East Fortleth street Monday
night.
Il hit him. your Honor. because he or some
one with him whistled and said Bow! wowl
WOW! at me-" explained O'Reilly.
Magistrate Wentworth remarked that he did
not consider that sufficient provocation for an
assault.
OReilly explained that there was nothing
that eIasperated him SO much as to be re-
minded OF a certain clam chowJer he attended
years ago. For a time his life was made miser-
able by people in his neiGhborhood whistling
at him and then barking like a dog. and he
was obliged to move to another part of the city
TO escape the torment. 1t was on u visit TO his
old neighborhood on Monday night that the
men; who evidently know him. revived the old
insult.

the chowder and disappeared.
Ihere. was q big crowd at the howder in
GLIDING the men from Corcorans Roost. The
ehoyder was cooked Oh the Roost In a boiler
by Mrs. Corcoran under Mickey Fay's direc-
ton and was brought over to the saloon to the
back room. The men all enjoyed the chow
der SO much that when II was all eaten they
called on Fay for more. He said nothing for
q time. but finally came to the door and threw
somlething inside on the floor and said;
There ye are. boys. There's all, there Is
him and YOU might as well eat his skin
We looSed. down on the floor continued
SIeilly:, and saw the Ne wfoundland dogs
hide. Then we understood that We had been
eating dog chowder and not clam chowder.
Mickey went in hiding for "a week. which was
good for him. bIt some OF us were too sick TO
DO him any harm. even IL we had caught him..
He said he had killed the dog. because it had
the lim.lams. and to play a trick on the boys

REAL ESTATE NEWS.

inc sales at private contract yesterday were
numerous and substantial. and the properties
disposed OF were well distributed throughout
the various sections OF the city. The offerings
at auction were for the most part desirable
properties. and the attendance at the sales was
large. The voluntary sales in the auction
room were successful. perhaps owing to the
announcement OF the auctioneers that the
sales were to be without reserve and that there
would be no protection by the owners.
The sales OF vacant properties are still a con-
spicuous feature Of the market, Among the
transactions OF this character reported yester-
day were tho sales OF large plots on upper
Broadway and on 105th street near Riverside
Drive.
A number OF sales involving property In the
W sections OF the city were reported. and,
as the property consists mainly of old build
ings. 1t Is probable that improvement will fol-
low the purchases.
The purchase OF No. 57S Madison avenue by
Francis 3. Kinney makes available another
plot for the erection OF the large apartment
house contemplated by him. Mr.. Kinney now
owns Nos. 57S. 578. 574 and 572 Madison ave-
nue.. giving him a plot 99.11x75.
Samuel Spencer is the buyer OF No. 81 West
Fifty-second street. the sale OF which has al
ready been reported.
The Washington Life Insurance Company
took title yesterday to the Morse building. on
the northeast corner OF Nassau and Beekman
streets. The insurance company secured the
property at auction. as the plaintiff in FORE
closure proceedings. some time ago.
Park & Tilford filed plans for an eight-story
warehouse at 152 West Thirty-sixth street.
The estimated cost is 100000.
