hospital, Brooklyn Since Saturday, when
she was taken 60 the hospital. she has
been racked by commissions. The case
perplexes ths doctors. From a vigorous
young woman she has become a mere
skeleton.
The hiccouahins was brought on by
fright. Miss ooldstein was walking In
the neighborhood OF Saratoga avenue and
Thatford steet a week ago when. II Is al
legged, Samuel Baltz attacked her. She
called for help and several men respond
ed. when they arrived she stood on

Miss Goidsteins home on Pitkin avenue.
near Stone avenue. When she saw him
she screamed and resumed the hiccough-
ing.
A physician came, but her conditions
puzzled him. She was then taken to the
hospital.
The hospital physicians attribute the
spasms to fright. Sleeping draughts were
administered. but even in sleep the hic-
coughing continued. Yesterday she was
so weak that she could hardly lift her
head. The physicians say she may fall
into q slumber, from which she will
awaken cured OF tho mysterious malady.
Should the hiccoughing continue much
longer they say she must succumb.
Baitz has been held In $500 bail.

Owners OF Local Team Not After
Minor League Honors.

President Thomas J. Hickey. of the pro-
posed Western League. has given out
statement in Omaha to the effect that In
dianapolis and Louisville are negotiating
for franchises I'm the Western League He
also said their admission would probably
mean the dropping OF Denver and Pueblo
This statement was read to President Wat
kins. of the Indianapolis club. last night
before ne left TO spend New Years at his
homo i'm Michigan. President Watkins
would not discuss the statement from any
standpoint as he said he will continue TO
remain quiet regarding all reports for the
present. as he has done for the last few
months.
From an Indianapolis standpoint how
ever the statement OF President Hickey
IS not taken seriously. as il is not believed
that President Watkins and his partner
Mr.. Ruschalpt. are. endeayoring To secure
admission TO any rlinor league. for they
are still confident of being in the American
League circuit. IL they were not confident
on that point IL would not be necessary for
them TO seek admission TO a minor league
as indianapolis would be invited TO join
almost any league. IL Is hardly probable
that President Watkins will seek admission
&c any league that is not as strong as the
one In which this city was represented last
season. Tie Indianapolis magnates will
probably rest on their oars for the presenr
and await developments.
