Police Have a Man They Think Has
Knowledge OF Her Death.

Police Have a Man They Think Has
Knowledge of Her Death.
New York, March THE man who
last Sunday night accompanied Nellie
Fletcher to the boarding house of Mrs.
Farrell in West Thirty-seventh street,
where she was found dead on Thursday
was arrested tonight. The police say
that he is well known shoplifter.
known as Edward Stewart.
Stewart, the police say, has made a
statement that he met the woman in a
saloon on Sunday night, and that she
told him she had run away from her
home in New Haven with a Yale stu
dent and had gone to Chicago. She was
then, she said, on her way to New
Haven, but wished to remain few
days in New York, and wanted to find
boarding house. Stewart says he rec
commended Mrs. Farrelrs, where he
says he left her after she had engaged
room for a week.
Capt. Langan. CHIEF of the detective
bureau, said tonight that it was his
opinion that the woman had died from
the effects of Knockout drops. He
thought she had been robbed, as no
money was found in the room, and if
she had contemplated a trip to New
Haven she would have had enough
money to buy her ticket.
Coroner's Physician Schultz, who
performed an autopsy on the body,
said that pathoIogically he could not
discover the cause of death. the wom-
an apparently having died from no
disease Neither could he find the
trace of any particular poison. The
stomach will be analyzed.

YOUNG PRINCE PRAYED
FOR HIS MOTHER.
He Wanted the Crown Princess to
Return to Him.

Return to Him.
Dresden, March Little Prince
George, oldest son of Crown Prince
Frederick, to-day left the palace, and
for several hours his tutors and the
household officials were in consterna-
ton. The favorite rumors was that
the Prince had been abducted by
agents of his snother the former Crown
Princess Louise; but the boy was
found praying in the cathedral that
his mother might return.
The Socialists are using the Grown
Princess episode for political agitation,
and the unpopularity of the Saxon
monarch appears to have been consid-
erably heightened. The carriage of Prin-
cess Mathilde, sister of the Crown
Prince, was surrounded by crowd in
Wilsdruffer- Strasse, one of the princi-
pal shopping streets of Dresden, one
day last week, and cries of "Give us
our Louisei" were raised. Princess
Mathilde was so frightened that when
the police reached the scene she was
escorted into a shop and eventually
went out by the rear door and took
another carriage.
Several similar Incidents, showing
the unpopularity of the royal house,
have occurred since the agitation caus-
ed by the elopement of the Princess
Louise, but none of them has been
mentioned in the newspapers of Ores
den.

JURY SAYS COMPANY
Is RESPONSIBLE.
Verdict i'm the Inquest Upon the
Death of School Children.


Newark, N. J., March THE coro-
ner's jury that has been investigating
the Clifton avenue trolley car acct
dent, in which nine school children
were killed, returned verdict to-day.
They find the North Jersey Street Rail-
way Company, which operates the troll
ley line, responsible for the accident.
The jury says:
I'VE find that there was ice and
snow to the depth of two or more inch
es on the trolley rails, and we find no
evidence of salt or sand having been
used. We find there were atleast 12O
passengers on the car. Eight or ten
of these were on the front platform
and undoubtedly interfered with the
motorman in controlling his car.
Had the rules been enforced in re-
gard to keeping the platform clear,
there might not have been an acct
dent. We find that the North Jersey
Street Railway Company did not use
modern methods TO protect the public,
inasmuch as they might have placed
a derailing switch at the crossing.
I'VE find the officials OF the North
Jersey Street Railway Company guilty
Of gross negligence. and hold them re-
sponsible for the accident"

SHED FELL UNDER
HUMAN WEIGHT.
Upon 1t to watch a Fire, Were
Killed OF Manned.

Montreal, Que, March 1.-THE Richie
lieu and Ontario Navigation Com
pany's magnificent steamer Montreal,
in course of construction, was burned
to the waters edge tonight.
A huge crowd was attracted by the
conf1agration, and several hundred per-
sons found their way to the roof of an
Allan Line shed. which, unable to
stand the weight. collapsed, roof and
shed. Two persons were killed and
fully seventy-five were injured some
of whom will, it is thought die.
The fire broke out about 8 o'clock
in the after part of the vessel. on the
main deck. How it started no one
knows, but within a few moments
from the time the Waterman first de-
tected it. the boat was a mass of
flames from stem TO stern.
The civil fire department responded
quickly, but considerable delay ensued
in getting the water turned on, it be-
ing necessary to bring the hose a con-
siderable distance or else chop holes
through the ice. BY the time the bril-
gade was able to get in full working
order, practically nothing remained
but to, extinguish the embers. The
cdhfagration attracted an immense
crowd, and it was in the eager quest
for point of vantage that resort was
had to the shed of the Allan Line
alongside.
The building in question was but a
fiimsily constructed affair, originally
built so that it could be removed
from the wharf during the winter
months. When large number of peo-
pie clambered on the roof, attention
was drawn to the danger, and the po-
lice had just begun ordering those on
the roof off when the collapse came.
There was not much of a crash, and
it was not until the screams of those
who went down with the building and
were held pinioned by the timbers,
rent the air. that the big crowd knew
that the accident had occurred.
Ambulances were called from all the
hospitals, but it was fully two hours
before the last of the victims had been
carried away. Two dead bodies were
recovered, those of a man and a boy,
neither of whom up to this hour (mid-
night had been identified.
The boat and engines cost 1856. 600
and fully $4,000 had already been spent
by the company on her uncompleted
fittings. There was insurance of $780,
600 on the boat.

Their Liabilities Are Appropriated
at 81 ,25O,OOO.

New York, March I'D. Leroy
Dresser and Charles Riess, doing bus
mess as commission merchants under
the firm name of Dresser & Co. 10
Green street, made an assignment to-
day, for the benefit of creditors. to
Charles S. Mackenzie. Mr.. Dresser
was until a few days ago president of
the Trust Company of the Republic.
A mercantile agency estimated the
pecuniary strength of the firm at
from 100000 to 100000.
This is the house concerning which
there have been rumors on Wall street
throughout the week. Large banking
interests conferred yesterday in the
effort to extend assistance necessary to
save the firm. but the suspension
could not be averted. The president of
one bank consulted about the matter
said to-day that adjustment of the
firms affairs depended upon the will
ingness of relative of one of the firm
to help it through.
Such assistance, it was said, was re-
fused yesterday but later in the day
it was thought that it would be forth
coming and the concern saved. This
suspension resulted.
Two million dollars of the firms pa
per is said to be outstanding. A con-
siderable amount is held in this CITY,
A. banker said:
""The firms paper is largely. held, I
think, by interior banks. Some of it
is in New York. How this will be ad-
justed l do not know, but efforts WILL
of course, be made to avoid disturb
ance."
There are no preferences. Attor-
neys for the assignee Said that the liza
bilities, as nearly as they can be ap-
proximated, amounted to about $780,
900, and that about half of this in
debtedness was secured. The nominal
assets, as nearly as can be estimated,
in the absence of a statement, accord
ing to the attorneys, are about $780,
900 and consist of cash, accounts re-
ceivable, @and equities in merchandise.
The creditors will be called together
as soon as possible and a settlement
offered to them in the hope of being
able to re-esta blish the firm of Dresser
81 Co in business
