REAR ADMIRAL GILMORE DEAD.
Retired Two Years Ago Because Of Illness
After Service In China.

Rear Admiral Fernando P. Gilmore died
early yesterday morning In a private sani-
tarium at 20 West Sixty-frst street, OF
Brghts disease, from which he had been
suffering since his campaign in the Philip
pines and China. and because Of which he
was retired from the navy two years ago.
The Admiral and Mrs. Gilmore had spent
the summer in Europe, remaining for the
greater part of the time at Aix-les- Bains,
France. 1t was hoped that the trip would
improve his health, but while visiting in
Paris he suddenly became worse and an
immediate return to New York was neces-
sary. His condition was 80 critical that
upon his arrival on Wednesday by the
steamship Vaderland he was removed In
a carriage to the Hotel Carlton. at 20s West
Fifty-fourth street, and soon afterward to
the sanitarimn.
Rear Admiral Gilmore was born on Aug.
10, 1887, In Steubenville, Ohio. In 1890 he
was graduated from the Naval Academy 1t
Annapolis, and Immediately entered the
service.
In the Spanish American War he was
Admiral Bunce Later he got command Of
the monitor Monadnook, and was sta.
toned with this vessel In China when Ill
health compelled him to retire.
In 1900 the Rear Admiral was married to
Mrs. Lydia E. Sears Of this city. One
brother, who lives IN Steubenville. Ohio,
survives him.
Definite arrangements for the funeral
have not vet been made. II will be q naval
funeral, and the body will be escorted by q
detachment from the Brooklyn navy yard.

FAMILY JAR on WHEELS.
Loyal VIE Of the O'Connor Makes Polio,
Sergeant Laugh.

Patrick O'Connor, longshoreman. living
ct SO Horatio street. went yesterday with
his wife and nine year-old son to the funeral
OF Mrs. Callahan, who died at her home on
Gansevoort street several days ago. Com
ing home 4 young man was put in the car
rage with the O'Connors.
Several stops were made on the return
to this city. and the longshoreman became
Ill hundred. He accused the young man
Of being too friendly with Mrs. O'Connor.
Pat hurled the strange young man out Of
the carriage and turned on his wife. She
was more formidable opponent. By the
time the carriage reached Twenty-third
street and Fifth avenue, Mr.. and Mrs.
O'Connor we're delivering right and left
hand iolts rapidly and with telling effect.
Mrs. O'Connor was screaming, but not
near as loud as nipe-year-old Pat, Jr., who
had fallen beneath the feet OF his parents
At Seventeenth street policeman
jumped up on the drivers seat and ordered
the carrings driven to the Tenderloin sta
ton. Mrs OConnoy had two puffy eyes
and her gown had been almost entirely
torn off. The boy was lame and sore.
When O'Connor was led back to q cell,
his wife tainted. When she was revived

The woman was told that her husband
was locked up.
'Too bad, too bad she cried, .and him

At that the hardened police sergeant
broke down and laughed.

Az likely as not the owner Is impressed

not to modest the poor thing for couple Of
weeks, and Of course have to do what
she asks.
sThat sort OF thing doesn't happen very
often, though. In these days owners OF
tenement property are as ioath to deal
first hand with tenants az a doctor is to pre-.
scribe for his own family. Collecting rents
In higher grade apartment houses Is quite
another story, of course. BY comparison
It IL easy. In the cheaper class tenement
property though, an agent can save money
to an ow'ner--thats why he is employed.
AT the same time. no matter how clever
and skilful an agent may be, he is generally
skinned out Of 15 per cent. OF his rents by
the tenants every vesr."
