panied by a large delegation, appeared
before the Street and Sewer Depart
'ment this morning in advocacy OF the
appointment Of a commission TO con-
demn Thirteenth street where It crosses
the p. b. e. w. railroad.
DR.. Frantz acted as spokesman OF the
delegation. He said: These men are all
property owners residing east of the
railroad. In the event of no outlet be-
ing given them though Thirteenth
street IL would be an outrageous pro
Iceeding. We think we are only asking
that which is due us as a matter OF
Justice.
Mr.. Carter said "If You will remem-
ber. while the resolution was pending
that | held out for the opening OF
Thirteenth street. but was finally voted
down. am therefore afraid that you
are up against It."
Mr.. Johnson said that he could moi
see how the board could do anythins
in the matter NOW that the Pennsyl
vania railroad had been given the righ
to close the street.
This led Dr. Frantz to say: 'erhes,
men are all poor men, who have pu
their last dollar in their homes. ant
they should not be compelled to pa,
one dollar for legal expenses. and /
the members Of this board do not gran

Mr.. Johnson replied that the mem
lbers of the board are just as much in
terested in laboring men as thei

The matter was referred to the Cit

In bed in his home this morning about
$50 O'Clock. He committed suicide
by asphyxiation
That Fnrrey caused his own destruc-
ton is undoubted. but those who knew
him best cannot give any reason for
the deed.
Furrey was in court yesterday. and
was to have appeared again today. He
kept saloon at Eleventh and Rail-
road avenue. and had been indicted
for selling liquor on Sunday, and also
to intoxicated persons. This seemed to
have preyed on Furrey's mind. and is
thought to be the cause OF his rash act.
He did not want to stand trial
About $50 o'clock yesterday after
noon he returned home and went to
bed. saying he had chill, and told his
wife to send for Dr. Morgan. The doc
tor arrived, prescribed for Furrey and
Then left He said he did not want to
be disturbed
About $50 O'Clock this morning when
his wife called him to go to court, she
received no answer. and became fright
cncd. She called James Connolly who
tended bar for Furrey. and he went to
his room and found the door locked and
forced IL open. Furrey was lying in
bed He had removed the burner from
the gas pipe and attached rubber hose
such as is used for a gas table lamp
He had also removed the pillows OF the
he'd from the head to the foot to be
nearer the hose. IL had been run un-
der the pillow allowing the other end
to come out just under his nose.
AS soon as the discovery was made.
lCoroner's Assistant Chandler was sum-
lmoned. and he will hold an inquest
Furrey was about 3S years old and
had been in the saloon business for

Hooper Young. fer whom the police
of Ntw York have been searching in
connection with the murder OF Mrs.
Anna Nelson Pulitzer. has been found.

fession regarding the killing of Mrs.
Pulitzer. In the guise OF a tramp, he
had been wandering about the country
for several days. when he was arrest.
ed Sunday evening by the Derby po-
lice on suspicion Although his de-
scription corresponded closely with
that sent out by the New York officers,
the prisoner at first denied any con
nection with the murder and even
when he was confronted with a man
who was formerly a fellow workman
he still denied his identity. But last
evening, upon the arrival of a man
with whom he was intimately ac-
quainted, the prisoner acknowledged
that he is William Hooper Young. He
consented 10 go back to New York
without requisition papers.
It was to Max Levy, physical cul-
ture instructor of Brooklyn. and De
tective Sergeant Edward Hughes. Of
New York, that the prisoner admitted
his identity.
"Hello. Hooper," exclaimed Levy, as
soon as the prisoner appeared. There
was no response and no sign of recog-
milton from the suspected man, but
when Levy again saluted him, he said
calmly; 81 don't know you"
"Of course you know me- said Lovy,
and, placing his hand on the shoulder
of the prisoner. he spoke in a low tone
for several minutes The prisoner
said: you should be sure of your iden-
tifcation. This is a terrible crome Tor
which am held"
The officer told the prisoner for
mally the reason for his arrest and
the nature of the crime of which he Is
suspected. The prisoner then for the
first time admitted that he was vii
liam Hooper Young. He talked with
the officer regarding his return to
New York, and expressed a Willingness
to go back at once without requisition
papers.
During the interview with the Off
GERS which followed he is said to have
made a confession regarding the crime
The exact nature of this confession was
not made public. It was said that
Young had spoken of an accomplice
but one Of the officers when questioned
about this replied IF you say slmplJ
that a confession has been made you
will tell the whole story"

source, however. came the information
that Young did say that he had an ac

that the Union Republicans might ac-

In your speech at the Union Repub

Ball could be recognized only when he
