RELIEVED
OF NINETY
DOLLARS.
George W. Hunt PInch,d Of
That Sum WhlIs on a Pral-
Tis Avenue Car Today.

There was a good deal OF fuss made
over a small matter today. First II was
announced that there had been a daring
hold-up OF the people who were on
Prairie avenue car. Then 1t was said
that four villains implicated had terror
lied the conductor and finally that an old
man was the victim of the hold-up.
Now the only hold-up on the car In
question was the strap by which man
who can't get a seat hangs UP TO. or 1t
was the stopping OF the car when the
conductor tapped the bell.
Still an old man did lose his money and
he was on the car when Il was taken
from him.
George NJ. Hunt, who resides at SO
Blackstone street, went 10 the Manufact-
urers' Trust Co. at IL o'clock. today TO
draw some money.
He had about $50 and this he carefully
counted and put into a leather pocket
book and tucked IL into an inside pocket
OF his overcoat.
Evidently four young men who were on
the watch for just such game, saw the
money drawn and put away.
They waited for Mr.. Hunt and as he
was boarding n Prairie avenue car, near
the Arcade, they managed TO block the
platform so that he had TO squeeze
through the group.
Conductor +. A Gardiner noticed the
action of this quartette and when Mr.
Hunt had taken his seat asked him If he
had lost anything.
Mr. Hunt thought that he missed moth
ing.
The conductor urged him TO look for
his money, and then IL was that the old
man discovered his wallet was gone.
The pickpockets had cleverly pinched
the money and so slickly that the victim
did not feel the hand going into his coat
Conductor Gardiner and Mr.. Hunt got
off the car but could see nothing OF the
thieves They had run through lane &c
Exchange place and were lost TO view.
Mr. Hunt made a complaint at head
quarters. but could give Capt. Parker nc
description OF the thieves.

HITCH OVER
PROPOSED
HOSPITAL.
The Structure Recently Bought
by the City Has Been
RspIeVIad.

The city health authorities are some-
disturbance is the recently purchased de-
tention house as there is good prospect
OF losing 1t. This house was to be placed
on the cove lands and TO relieve the TAX
ing OF folks. who might be found sick on
the street with riseases that could be
readily diagnosed. to the city hall.
The large number of cases of smallpox
in nearby towns and the few cases which
have been picked up on the street led the
authorities to determine that 1t was nee
essary to spend some OF the city's money
on a place like the one now causing
trouble.
This determination of the health au-
thorities has led to the bringing of re-
plevin suit by Lawyer John p. Beagan in
behalf OF ono OF his clients. The story or
what led 10 the bringing of the replevin Is
doubly interesting owing 10 It's coDnec-
ton with the proposed hospital.
A Mr. Ward is the plaintiff in the re-
plevin suit. Some time ago Ezra Perkins
got judgment against Il. j. Ward and
took out execution. Some property OF the
defendants on Atwels avenue was leV-
led upon and Sold
on this lot was a building which had
been placed on blocks. The building be-
longed TO the son of Mr. Ward, the de-
fendant In the controversy, with Mr..
Perkins
In fear that trouble might arise Mr..
Ward, Jr., moved the building from the
lot his father formerly owned and which
Mr.. Perkins bought. The building was
only removed to an adjoining lot.
on his way down town yesterday Mr..
Ward saw an Italian laborer at work
about the building and he, Ward, got the
impression the structure was TO be re-
moved. lie was not sure so 10 get more
| accurate information. asked the laborer
what was doing. The reply was that
| the house was 10 be moved down town
| Further investigation showed the build
| ing had been sold 10 the city for the
i purpose above named. The outcome OF
| this case will be watched with gooc
| deal of interest.
| No objection was made 10 the removint
| of the house from the lot on which j
| stood when sold and II is presumed tina
Mr.. Perkins did not know IL had beer
moved when he sold IL 10 the city. This
morning the structure was moved bacl
OF the Union station and then the wri
| was served.

The Late Leonard LeWiSOhn Was
One of the Copper and Coffee
MagnateS of the World.

their productions, as a technical student
would study them, and he become cop
per expert.
FORMED A GIGANTIC POOL.
He took up coffee in the same way, and
when he thought he understood the situa-
ton he began TO buy lie became assured
that the price OF coffee as IL was when
he began buying in 1897 must so higher
and he wanted coffee. He got II, and then
he got more. But the price did not go up
as Mr.. Lewisohn was sure IL would. He
continued in the market for two years.
and at length a day came In 1899 when
the price did advance. Mr.. Lewisohn be-
lieved that was tho turning OF the ude'
and that the price would continue 10 ad-
vance. He sold some Of his holdings, BUT
he bought more than he sold. II was said
today, and finally slump came, leaving
Mr. Lewisohn with more coffee on his
hands than he could dispose Of at proht
But he believed he understood the situa-
ton. He believed he knew the conditions
OF the coffee plantations OF Brazil ana ne

fee had become the hobby OF the man. n

pressed with the idea that there was big

still called the Lewisohn coffee pool. Just
who made up the pool has never been def
initely known. but IL is said that 1t con-
tained four members besides Mr.. Lew
isohn. Under Lewisohn orders coffee was
bought right and left. and IL was said to-
day that the pool still has most OF tho
coffee on It's hands.
CALCULATIONS MAY MIscARRY.
Nobody asserts that either Mr. rLewisohn
on his associates have lost to date, any
very large sum OF money, but the ques-
tion for the surviving members of the
pool TO answer Is, how they are 10 get
rid of their stock. lit was said today that
this venture was one OF the few In which
Leonard Lewisohn was ever interested
that did not return handsome profit.
How Mr.. Lewisohn's calculations mis-
carried was explained by coffee expert
| today In this remark: "As often as Lew
| isohn said that all the coffee acreage IN
| Brazil had been planted in any one year.
| the Brzilians would promptly produce
more coffee"

Since the recent death In London OF
Leonard Lewisohn, senior member OF
Iewisohn Brothers, who established the
Eiectrolytic Copper works at Centrai
Falls. X. l., 1t has come out that no In
considerable item In the schedules OF the
large estate he left-variously estimated
at from s2O0oo,ooo TO s5o,ooo, ,cco-will be
several hundred thousand bags OF coffee.
Ii has been known in financial circles for
some time that Mr.. Lewisohn was buying
coffee but few knew TO what extent IL
will be news, therefore. even TO most OF
the dead merchants friends. that he ana
his associates, at the time OF his death,
owned nearly one-sixth OF the world
visible supply of coffee.
The estimated visible supply of coffee
today was 12,000000 bags, and OF this
amount those who should know some
thing about the situation said that the
Lewisohn pool. as IL is called, owns q
o00 900 bags. Furthermore, IL was stated
that 81. 900 bags were the personal prop
erty OF Mr.. Lewisohn. while he had out
standing contracts, IL was said, for nearly
800, 900 bags more. II IL possible for the
experts TO tell pretty accurately the
amount of coffee any person in the trade
may have on hand but the estimate OF
the late Mr.. Lewisohn's outstanding con-
tracts must De, even 10 tHc eApcEtS,
largely q matter OF conjecture.
COFFEE AND COPPER MAGNATE.
But with ns account taken Of the con-
tracts, Mr.. Lewisohn was one of the
coffee magnates OF the world. II the Ar
buckles and the Woolsen Spice company
of Toledo are excepted. Leonard Lewisohn
was probably the greatest coffee trader
in the world. And yet the business world
knew the man almost only as an expert
in copper and trader in copper prod
ucts. The members of his firm for many
years were the leading traders In ostrich
feathers. but II was as mn expert and
trader In copper and other metals that
its senior member was best known.
Back I'm 1897 Mr.. Lewisohn first turned
his attention to coffee. He became buy
er because he thought the commodity was
cheap. He was ready TO trade In almost
anything I'm which he thought he could
make money and his trading was always
characterized by great daring, but he new
er became interested In a particular prod
act until he thought he knew all that
