pense. This was situated on Pearl
street and Coenties Slip, facing the
East river. Toe building was of rough
hewn stone, four stories and attic,
with the high pitched roof common to
all Dutch buildings OF that period.
The gable ends of the roof were ar
ranged in steps, as are many of the
old French buildings which still re-
main in the Province of Quebec.
This Stadts Herbergh or City Inn
was completed in 1912 and was used
for public service till 1854, VIXEN 1t
became the Stadt Hugs or City Hall,
and for almost fifty years continued
to be the meeting place for the coun-
Gil of burgonasters and schepens. In
it was the courtroom and the Jail, and
in front a cafe and whipping post. In
1899 it was sold for 920 shillings and
taken to pieces.
Opposite Bowling Green was the
tavern of Martin Krieger or Kings
Arms" as it was called later. The
garden of this tavern was a favorite
place of resort for the Knickerbocker
citizens, who in krleger's day rested
their bodies on the benches and SOL
EMMY smoked while they watched the
sun set behind the trees. In its lat
ter days it was called the Atlantic
Garden and continued to be a fav-
orite place Of resort for entertainment
and recreation.
At 112 William street stood Golden
Hill Inn, built of Holland brick, one of
the Oldest taverns in Manhattan. 1t
was used as meeting place by the
Liberty Boys" and just back Of the
inn, in an open field, occurred the first
fight with the British regulars in the
war of the Revolution, Jan. 18, ITO.
This open skirmish Of the war was
called the Battle of Golden Hill, and is
commemorated by tablet on a
building at the corner of John and
William streets.

How Two M0narChS Died

made all the grim toilet of death, and
Louis had protested his innocence and

gayon,, proceeded to drown, he again
lost all his self-control. Silence! Be

control, and stamping violently with
his foot. Richard, one Of the execu-
TONERS, then seized a pistol and took
aim at the king. It was necessary to
drag him along by force. With diff

continued to utter terrible cries., only

Made His Death Tragic

In squalid court in Edinburgh
many years ago man who had been
notorious for his cruelties as a slave
trader lay dying. Mental terror made
his end appalling to witness. Accord
ing to Scotch custom, the family
opened the door to let the spirit pass.
To their infinite horror the bloody
head of a black man suddenly rolled
into the room. The family shrieked
with fright, the man on the bed gave
O yell of terror. They turned to his
bedside, but he expired as they
watched. When they looked toward
the door again the head had disap-
peared. There was a splash of fresh
blood upon the floor to mark the spot
where It had been, but nothing else
to certify that the horrid sight had
not been a creation of morbid imagi-
nation.

This appearance Of negro's head
in the room of man dying after he
had committed innumerable barbara
ties upon black slaves was strange
coincidence and nothing more. Prof.
Owen, the famous anatOmist, had
been attending an anatomical lecture
where the body of negro had been
dissected. He was taking the head
home with him to examine it more
carefully. The streets were wet ana
slippery. Just as he was passing the
open door of the house in which the
man lay dying he tripped and tho
head, slipping from the cloth in
which he had it, rolled into the little
room. The cry of the dying mar dr.

were in the room, so that Owen wan

The best measure of litigation il
usually the number of laws or stat
utes, and not, contrary to general be-
lief, the number of lawyers. In this
country it is found generally to be the

subcommittee Decided TO Wait for
Replies to Propositions.
Another meeting of the sup-commit-
tee, having in charge the movement
for line Of boats to Cuba, met yes
terday. Those in attendance were Mr..
George v. Denny, chairman; Mr.. A.
B. Moore and MIR. George F. Tennille.
A discussion was had of the various
projects. especially the one which pro-
posed to interest the owner of a yes
sci in the scheme. AS the reply to the
messenger sent to see this gentleman,
who resides in New York, had not been
received, it was thought best to defer
action. Secretary w. j. Donlan, of
the Chamber of Commerce, was in
structed to get into communication
with a line of steamers with a view to
getting them to have their boats stop
here.
AS soon as any further information
is received the committee will be call
ed together. Facts and figures have
already been prepared showing the
probable income of such a line, and II
was the sentiment of the committee
that a certain amount of tonnage
could be guaranteed.
AS soon as there is anything tangi-
BILE the committee will take up the pro-
ject vigorously, and it is believed the
plan can be successfully worked.
