SENSATION IN BROOKLYN COURT
Woman Thought to Be Dead Suddenly
,Appeared

The New York Tribune of today says:
There was a sensational scene yesterday
afternoon In the first district municipal
court, Brooklyn, when an old man named
David thinner. who was suing to recover
from life insurance company the sum of
Sis for the alleged death Of his daughter
Annie thinner, was confronted with the
woman in court.
The Zimmer family, consisting of father
and threel daughters, lived at No 343 Gold
street, Brooklyn, and twelve years ago
Annie. then about twenty-one years Of age
took out a policy for $115 In the John Han
cock Mutual Life Insurance Company
She paid the premiums regularly until
about seven years ago, when she suddenly
disappeared, and no trace Of her could be
found. Her father continued to pay the
premiums on his missing daughters insur-
ance policy. He had formerly been an in
surance agent in the employ of the COM
pany he was suing, and knew that under
the law, If a policy holder dropped out of
sight for more than seven years. the miss
ing person was declared satisfactorily dead.
AS his daughter failed to return after
seven years. thinner brought suit against
the insurance company to recover the
amount of the policy, with interest. Zim-
mer and his witnesses testified to the wo-
mans disappearance and her failure to re-
turn, and that they believed she was dead.
The insurance company, 1t appeared,
which had been searching for the woman
since May, had found her, and at the pro-
ceedings yesterday she was secreted, 1t was
said, in a room adjoining the court room.
A sensation followed when she was called
into the court room and was introduced to
Judge Walsh as the missing woman.
Miss thinner testified that she left her
fathers home seven years ago because she
did not like 1t, and went to live elsewhere
in Brooklyn. In the whole seven years,
she declared. she had never lived more
than half a mile from her fathers house.
She denounced her father for bringing the
suit and declaring her to be dead.
thinner declared that the woman was
not his daughter. Judge Walsh, however,
was convinced by the woman's testimony,
and by the fact that her handwriting was
the same as that Of her signature on the
application for her insurance policy, and
dismissed the suit.

ment, and Lieutenant Jordan made re-
port on the subject and forwarded the
names and addresses of seven residents of

BARTHoLIN OF NOBLE BIRTH.
Chicago Murder Suspect Member Of
Prominent Danish Family.

According to- Information unearthed
in Chicago William Bartholin, wanted by
the police In connection with the murder of
his mother and the disappearance Of his
sweetheart, Minnie Mitchell. is a member
of the noble house of Bartholin- -Eichel of
Denmark. 1t has also been discovered that
he has half brother. Frederick Bartholin,
at present living in Chicago, prosperous and
highly respected.
The house OF Bartholia was founded In
1850. when DR.. BarthoIin- -Eichel was made
barcnet for distinguished services. Since
then the house has stood high In the coun-
ellis of the Danish court, its members occu-
pying important positions.
The line descends without blot TIL half
a century ago. Casper Bartholin was and
still Is at the age Of eighty-two years the
reigning baronet. presiding over the lands,
estates and castle of Astrup. His brother
was William Peter Bartholin. who became
the father OF the VIII Bartholin for whom
the police of the country are on the look
Being a younger son. William Peter Bar
tholin had no estates, but by the influence
OF his family was made warden OF the
royal castle at Ribe. where he was made a
tie of his own He married the Countess
Gettholdne Grevencopp-Castenskjol of
Great Frederick Castle. Two sons were
born--George, now editor of the National
hagen, and Frederick. who now lives In
Chicago.
A German servant girl was taken into the
family. and after few years of married
life Bartholin eloped to America with the
servant. taking with him, 1t is alleged, a
large sum Of public money which had been
intrusted to his care. The deserted wife
after few years secured a divorce and
married Bishop Hans Tornoe OF Copen-
hagen, one Of the dignitaries of the Luth-
eran Church.
Meanwhile all did not go well with the
younger son. He served throughout the
civil war, leaving the German serving maid
to her own devices. When the war was
over he returned to Chicago and married
her. and in 1872 VIII Bartholin. the present
fugitive, was born. After various vicissi-
tudes the father died at the Soldiers Home
at Milwaukee Wis.
The next public attention given to this
wayward limb of the noble house was when
the police began to search for Minnie
Mitchell. supposedly murdered. and In their
search discovered the mutilated remains of
Mrs. Bartholn In the basement of her
home
Frederick Bartholin until recently did not

To provide against the failure of the An

Mr.. Macfarland asked r. D. Simms, the
District superintendent Of property. to in
vestigate into the feasibility Of burning soft
coal In the school furnaces. Mr. Simms has
stated that he conferred with the secretary
OF the board OF education and the superin-
tendent of janitors of the public schools in
regard to the use Of bituminous coal i'm the
school furnaces in the event that it should
be impossible at the time of opening the
schools to secure the necessary amount of
anthracite
Il am advised by the officers referred to-"
says Mr. Simns, in his report to Commits
sioner Macfarland, that with the excep-
ton of a few of the buildings the furnaces
are of kind that win admit of the use of
soft coal if the use Of such fuel becomes
necessary. There are a few, however prin-
cipally county schools using stoves for
which it would be absolutely necessary to
buy hard coal. but these would not require
a very considerable amount of fuel'
In connection with the coal inquiry In
spector D. G. Proctor of the street cleaning
department made an interesting suggestion
to Commissioner Macfariand today which
will be followed up. Mr.. Proctor said that
some time ago he tried the experiment Of
using a combination Of soft coal and coke
in firing q furnace, and found 1t to work
admirably. The furnace is fired with al
ternating layers OF coke and bituminous
COAL and in this way. 1t Is claimed COM

Ing one Is secured. Mr.. Macfarland has d.
rected that an experiment Of this character
