DRUNK AND DIsoRDERLY.

A considerable row was raised on
Fourth street last night all on ac-
count of drunken man and a young
boy.
For some time during the afternoon
Jospeh Connors, who claims that he
is a workman for John j. Lumsden
had been cutting up with young Jack
Wharton, in the alley beside the post
office, near the bootblacking stand.
Finnaly Connors took a seat on an
iron wheel barrow standing up beside
the postoffice wall. Young Wharton
came and sat ON the handle of the
wheelbarrow and it upturned. spilling
Connors out. This enraged him. He
made swipe at the boy but missed
him. He then pursued and caught
him and grabbed his arm most vic
iously and started as he said to take
the boy to the police station. The
boy was terrified beyond measure and
screamed and cried, as he took him
down Fourth street.. The escapade
attracted the attention of M. +. Fred
e.'icks, who was formerly an officer of
this city and he started toward the
man and boy and made Conors release
his hold of him. This was not done
any to quickly as Connors had hit the
boy vicious crack in the face al
ready and had badly twisted his arm.
When Fredericks made Connors re-
lease his hold of young Wharton,
Connors turned in fury ON Fredericks.
He began to abuse him until Freder-
icks called him down. Mr.. Fredericks
then saw that the man was determined
upon creating fuss and he called up
the fire department and told the Spe-
cial Officer Dell Newell of the situa
tion Newell came at once and by
the time he reached Fourth street.
Connors was down in front of the Abb
hey saloon. Newell grabbed the man.
The latter began to struggle and re-
fused to go with him, when Newell
hit him bad chug on the back of
the neck. which almost knocked Con-
nors unconscious. An express wagon
was then called and Connors placed !
in limp condition in the wagon and |
taken to the city jail, where he rested
over night
The fuss called around the partici |
pants big crowd, some siding with |
the man Connors and charging that |
he was badly treated and others who
knew the exact situation regarding his
attack on the boy vicious, saying that
he got all he deserved
Unquestionably Mr.. Fredericks did
to protect the boy. The man was in
LIQUOR and was no fit custodian for a
young boy, even though the boy was
blamable for what he had been do
ing.

while they lay PROSTATE. he told them
to follow out his doctrine during his

called missionaries who might visit
them.
For day all went well. until a
Methodist minister named Perkins ar
rived at the settlement and tried to
preach to them. The community df-
vided itself, and one faction Of the wo-
men stripped themselves of clothing, as
they have done on several previous Oc-

Veregin, their leader and self-styled
Christ.
Several men interfered. and a pitched
battle ensued, IN which the contestants
used the first tools which came to
their hands.

DRESSER AGAIN
ON THE STAND
More Details of the Ship-BuiId-
ing Scandal.
HOW He BECAME BANKRUPT
HIS SISTERS NOT INTERESTED
IN HIM.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The hearing ia
IN the bankruptcy proceedings Of the
firm of Dresser & Co., of which
Daniel Leroy Dresser. formerly con-
nected with the United States ship
building concern as president, was
resumed today before Referee Stanley
w. Dexter. At former hearings four
witnesses testified that they had certj-
fed blindly that the securities deposited
for the benefit of the creditors by pro-
meters of a Staten Island Realty COM
pany who wished Mr.. Dresser as pres
ident, were worth $3.50. 900. whereas, at
the time Of the deposit, they knew moth
ing Of the value of the stocks and
bonds delivered in a close package to
6 W YOungman, president Of the Cor
poration Finance company.
Mr.. Dresser was the first witness.
Overtures Made.
Mr.. Dresser told of the overtures TO
him to become president of the realty
company because. he was told, his name
would lend strength 10 the company,
and Of the proposition to deposit $780,
900 in securities to eXtTiCate him from
his financial difficulties. regarding
which, he had told the promoters. he
would have to consult the receivers os
his business and his creditors. After
the delivery Of the securities to Mr..
NOungman, Mr.. Dresser said Mr..
Youngman told him he was satisfied
with the Certjfication Of 100000 Of the
securities. and that the rest was un-
doubleday all right. Afterward N. c.
QIimby, chief promoter Of the com
pany, gave him a list of the. stocks
known to be incorrect. Referring to
the report that the names of his sisters
had been used to aid the credit Of the
realty company, Mr.. Dresser said:
Sisters Not Interested.
Il have stated positively and clearly
to everybody with whom 7 have had
dealings in the last few years that my
sisters. Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt and
Mrs. ]. Nicholas Brown, had nothing
whatever to do with my business. and
that -ey never would have. 1 never
said they would back me in any OF
these undertakings"
A number of questions were asked re-
garding Mr.. Dresser's connection with
the United States Ship Building com
pany and the Trust Company of the
Republic, and Mr.. Dresser said his
failure was due to the loss of $500 900 in
the stock of the trust company. His
interest in the ship building affairs was
only in connection with the trust COM
pany. He said that in November ne had
received about S500,0O0 each of the COM
mon and preferred stock Of the ship
building. company which ne had sold
at once for 100000 and put the money
into his business his credit being cur
tailed on account Of the fall i'm the
