HAD A BAD FALL.

AS John Timlin, residing on Green
wood street, foreman for Sheahan &
Groark, the plumbers and steam filters,
was rapidly descending last evening
the stairs in the Courier building at
the fourth floor, he lost his balance
at the turn in the stairs and fell over
the balustrade of the stairs to the sec
ond floor below. a distance of twenty
or twenty-five feet. He was badly
stunned and was removed TO the
Courier Office by members of the lodge,
the session of which he had been at
tending. His condition being appar-
emily very serious he was removed in
the police ambulance to the New Ha-
ven hospital, where he soon began to
improve. The physicians found that no
bones were broken and that Timlin was
simply badly shaken up and would
probably be able to return home to-
day.

HUNTING FOR VANDERBILT.
Detectives Looking for Five Garfield
Witnesses.

Detectives Looking for Five Garfield
Witnesses.
New York. Feb. 16.-Much against
the wishes of District Attorney Jer-
ONE, Justice Herrick in the criminal
branch of the supreme court to-day
postponed the trial of David w. Buck
lin, indicated as a common gambler,
until Monday of next week.
The adjournment was granted in re-
Spouse to an application by former
Justice Fursman, who asked for two
weeks in which to prepare the defense,
and who declared that the usual cour-
tesy of notice that case would be
moved for trial had not been served up
on him. After Justice Herrick had an
nounced his decision Alfred Lauterbach
asked the court to make an order that
his client Edward Wasserman, be ex-
amined by deposition that he might
keep important engagements in Eu-
rope.
Mr.. Jerome interposed that he had
not been lacking in courtesy, but that
it was known that, as his personal
brokre, Mr. Wasserman had been in
the most intimate contact with the
keeper of the Forty-fourth street house,
and that he ought to be in court for
personal cross-examination before the
jury.
Justice Herrick said he did not be-
lieve he had any power to make such
an order as Mr.. Lauterbach asked for
and that disposed of Mr.. Wasserman's
case.
The district attorney then asked that
the doors be closed until he reserve
the subpoenas showing the new date
for the trial on the important wit
nesses who are to testify for the peo-
pie. The doors were not closed but the
court called these names: H. Archi-
bald Pell Clarence Luce, w. A. II.
Stafford, DR.. D. L. Haight, r. c. VAN
derbilt, H. X. Lingard and Jacob
Fields.
DIR. Haight and Mr.. Fields were the
only ones who replied. Mr.. Jerome in
structed Mr.. Sandford his assistant. to
issue attachments at once for the 9TH
ers.
Five detectives are looking for VAN
derbilt and the other witnesses.

SHERIFF DUNHAM SUED.
Trouble Caused by Chinaman Score

Trouble Caused by Chinaman Scorch-
ing Pair of Pajamas.
Sing Ling, Waterbury laundryman,
Sheriff Durham and former Judge
Houlihan of Waterbury are in great
trouble over the judges valuable COM
bination bath robe and pajamas.
The judge trusted the pajamas in
the care of the Chinaman to be washed.
The laundryman scorched the pajamas
and the judge sued the Chinaman in
civil action, and in default of bail Sing
Ling had to close up his shop and re-
side in the county Jail for a while.
Deputy Sheriff Prior, friendly to Sing
Ling, let the Chinaman out on a Jail
limit so-called. OF course he was not
to go near Waterbury until his time
was up.
Judge Houlihan asserts that he saw
Sing Ling on the streets of Waterbury,
and thought that was sufficient to make
the high sheriff liable. Attorney John
O'Neil of Waterbury Immediately
brought suit against Sheriff Durham
for $50 damages, which will cover the
cost of the scorched pajamas.

OVERCOME BY GAS.
Narrow Escape of Family From Dead
ly Furnace Fumes,

Narrow Escape of Family From Dead
ly Furnace Fumes.
The family of Charles T. Yale of No.
66 Center street, West Haven, had a
narrow escape from death by gas poi
soning eraly Sunday afternoon.
The furnace which had not been in
use for some time evidently did not
draw well. Mr.. Yale, who felt very
rdowsy, heard a fall. Opening the
door he found Mrs. Yale unconscious.
Investigation revealed the inanimate
figures of Mrs. Davis and her two chill
dren.
Mr.. Yale hurried to a neighbor for
aid and word was Immediately sent by
telephone to DR.. c. D. Phelps of No.
1886 Main street and a carriage was
sent for him.
The windows of the house were
thrown open and when the physician
arrived the patients had recovered
slightly. DR.. Phelps took immediate
hour all had recovered. 1t was found
that gas poison from the furnace had
filled the house and affected all of the
inmates except Mr.. Yale. The gas
poison has little odor and the family
did not realize what 1T was that was
overcoming them.
The coal must have generated an I'M
usually large quantity Of gas and this
incident has caused many people to
take extra precautions.
Yesterday morning only Mrs. Yale
and Mrs, Davis felt indisposed, both re-
naming in bed.

WILL STAND BY DIR. CRUH.
PRESIDENT DECLINES TO WITH
DRAM NEGRO'S NAME.

Ifthe Nomination is Not Acted Upon by
the Senate, she President Intends to
Make DIR. CTum a Recess ApPointee to
the Charleston COIIecturskip.
Washington. Feb. 16.-Notwithstand-
ing the adverse report of the senate
committee on commerce. the nominal
tion of DR.. Crum for collector of GUS
toms at Charleston will not be with
drawn. A deputation of senators ad-
vised the withdrawal Of the nomination
last week on the ground that it would
hurt the prestige of the administration
to have the senate formally vote for
rejection.
The president responded that. though
he appreciated the courtesy Of the adj
vice, no friend of his need feel in the
least worried about his share in the
business. He had made the nomination
because he believed it right, and as no
one had yet shown him any reason TO
change that opinion he should stand
by it. The senators warned him that if
he declined to withdraw the nominal
ton the senate might refuse to vote on
it and leave it hung up at the close
of the session.
The presidents answer was that he
had a right to expect the senate to vote
on the nomination-in other words, that
it would shoulder it's share of respon-
sibility as he had shoulder his; and
that if it let the session die without
voting either confirmation or rejection
his present purpose was to make DR.,
Crum a recess appointee. He was not
in the habit, he added, of making posi-
tive and irrevocable forecasts of his
conduct under any particular conditions
and he should not do so now; neither
was the recess appointment to be in
terpreted as a threat. But he wished
the senators to understand fully what
he expected to do, so that in whatever
course it chose to take it could not at
tribute any mistake it might make to
the lack of entire candor on his part.
This is the present alignment of
forces on the Crum issue. 1t is now, in
the cant of the day, up to- the senate
to make the next move.
