Drained FATHER
Young Man Fractures His
Insane Parents Skull in
Selfdefence.

James Clougher, fifty-two years old,
of No. 544 Saekett street, is lying in the
City Hospital in dying condition, and
his ,twenty-three year old son is held a
prisoner by the police to await the result
of his fathers injuries, as result Of a
terrific battle in which the two men en-
gagged at their home ON Saturday night.
Clougher, the elder, until month ago,
had been for almost fifteen years an IN
mate of the Insane Asylum at Snake
Hill He was released from the insti-
tuition a few weeks ago, but DR.. King,
the attendant physician, told the mans
family that if at any time he showed
signs Of being demented, to Immediately
notify the authorities.
During the past week Clougher has
shown signs of returning insanity, BY sn-
deavoring to force his wife and son to
leave their home, but the family failed
to have any restraint put upon the
man.
Shortly after nine o'clock on Satur-
day night Clougher developed violant
attack of insanity, and, after throwing
his wife bodily out of the house, at
tackled the son. The latter struck the
old man over the head with a frying
pan, fracturing his skull Three police
reserves from the Communipaw avenue
station house had hard tussIe to subdue
Clougher, who refused to get into the
police patrol.
he finally consented to go to the City
Hospital, and was removed to that IN
stitution in an ambulance, where it is
said his injury is of a severe nature.

BOTH WANT
BESSIE
Peculiar Chancery Suit to
Regain Custody Of
Little Girl.
SAYS HER CHILD WAS NEGLECTED
Trials OF Pushcart Peddler,
Now Prosperous and Anx-
ious for Her Daughter.
SAYS HER CHILD WAS NEGLECTED.

A peculiar suit to recover a child was
partly heard by Vice Chancellor Steven
son this morning. 1t was disclosed in a
petition of Mrs Marian Macon, who al
Ieges that Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Rophe,
of No. % Leonard street, this city, have
her daughter, and refuse to give her back
her child
Mrs. Marian Macon said she lived in
Buffalo, and is widow with three chill
dren. Her husband died about eleven
years ago in Europe. leaving five chill
dren, one Of whom was Bessie Macon,
then only two years old. After strug-
gle to support her children sh( emigrated
to America and arrived < New York,
where she found employment as do
mestic servant. She placed her children
in the care of an orphan asylum. She
then met Adolph Rophe and his wife,
Sarah, whe were without family, and
they offered to take little Bessie and edu-
cate her. Mrs. Macon consented to this
and placed the other four children in an
asylum.
REFUSED TO GIVE UP BESSIE.
A year afterwards, Mrs. Macon, hav-
ing saved some money, resolved to go to
Buffalo and start fruit and vegetable
business. She kept stand and push
cart. Having prospered, she took her
children from the New York Asylum,
and she started to hunt up Mr.. and Mrs.
Rophe for little Bessie, but she was sur
prised to find that they had removed to
Jersey City. Mrs. Macon made several
trips here to recover her child, but the
RopEes refused to give her her child,
ahd Sarah Rophe, so Mrs. Macon al
Ieges, prevailed upon Bessie to say that
she was not willing to go with her
mother.
The mother also says that Bessie was
mot sent 10 school or given any proper
education and has been permitted by Mr..
and Mrs. Rophe to remain entirely ig-
norant regarding religious instruction of
any kind and further compelled her to
do the housework, although only thirteen
years old.
In her petition Mrs. Macon says that
the Rophes have demanded sums from
5000 to $500 for the return Of little Bes-
sic.
THE OTHER SIDE OF 1T.
In their answer, presented by Lawyer
George J. McEwan, Mr.. Adolph and
Mrs. Sarah Rophe say they reside at No.
IS Leonard street, this city, and admit
taking the child, but it was from wom-
an named Bessie Sukermann, who was
afterward married to man named
Ginzburg. They denied that the child
was not properly educated. Bessie, they
say, was sent to Public School No. Z,
and was also educated in Hebrew. They
bought her a bicycle and she only did
such housework as was reasonable and
proper. They add that Bessie is able
to decide for herself with whom she de-
sires to live, and she wishes to remain
with her foster parents, whom shes calls
''pappa" and mamma"
When the papers were read the Vice
Chancellor said he would hear testimony
next week and in the meantime Bessie
will remain with Mr.. and Mrs. Rophe.

Peggy and Lucy mines, properties Of the
company in Bald Mountain. The company's
cleanup for the last part Of August
amounted to a little over $4,000, and II
hopes to increase this amount from now on,
as the ore which is being received from the
mines in Bald Mountain carries a little
higher values than has the ore which they
have been treating.
The Wasp II sent down its usual cleanup
for the last half Of August, amounting to
So, 900. The Spearfsh company's cleanup is
ready to send to the assay office and will
reach the usual amount. about $4,000. Last
week the Homestake company shipped TO
New York the result Of fifteen days run OF
its mills on the belt, amounting to 5000, 900.
The Home Mining company of Deadwood
is putting up a pumping plant on its ground
on City creek, within the city limits. A few
weeks ago a shaft was started on the ground
and after reaching a depth Of twenty-five
feet the miners we're compelled to get out,
the water coming in so fast that It could not
be handled with a bucket The company has
a thirty-foot ledge OF pyritic ore, carrying
copper and a small per cent Of gold, which
1t is developing.
The contract for the Golden Crest mill on
Strawberry was let on Friday last and the
plant will be ten stamps. with cyanide tanks
and will be able to treat about fifty tons Of
ore a day. The machinery has been ordered
and should be delivered on the ground in
about ten days.

Nervous About wall street.

BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE bourse last week
lacked uniform tendency. The rather rapid
advance of coal and iron shares of the
previous week, in spite of the unpleasant
reminders that the Industrial situation had
not yet improved was seen to have been
unwarranted. Consequently the tendency
of this department was to take profits and
this was especially true Friday as a re-
suit of the weak New York market of
Thursday. But coal shares recovered
Saturday upon the announcement that the
coke restriction for the month OF August
had been only % per cent, as against rs
per cent for July. Domestic rails scored
further slight gains during the week.
Shares of the North German Lloyd and
Hamburg-American lines were f~ractionally
lower, but succeeded moderately yester-
day. Domestic governments weakened I'M
til yesterday, when there was a strong
recovery. Among foreign rentes the chief
interest centered in Turkish. This was a
result of NJ. Rouvier's unihcation scheme,
which is interpreted here as favorable to
the bondholders. Spanish As were strong
and some Austrian and Swiss railroad
shares were quite active. Canadian Pa
cites had a strong market, but owing to
the tightness of money on Wall street,
which, however, has not affected the ease
of money here, the feeling regarding the
American situation is still nervous. An
advances in the price Of cotton caused Ger
man spinners to raise the price of yarn
and weavers are placing heavy orders far
into 1903 and are expecting higher prices
later.
