ENDED HIS LIFE.
Man Who Sought for Work to Support His
 Family.

New York, Dec 15.--After trudging through the snow from one end of the city to the other in the vain hope of securing employment, his wife and six children without food and ordered to leave their home in an upper east side tenement house because of nom payment of rent, John Corcoran, d clerk, to-day ended his life by drink ing carbolic acid.
 Corcoran lost his position three weeks ago through illness and during the period of idleness his scanty saw ings disappeared. Yesterday Corcor- an obtained work with gang of city snow shovelers. but he was too weak from illness and was forced to quit after an hours trial with the shovel. Then the task of searching for em- ployment was again resumed. Thor oughly discouraged Corcoran returned home last night to find his wife and children without food and the notice of dispossession on the door. "I'll be back soon with better news,'I lln told his wife. Early this morning Cor coran returned and without saying u word started to raise a bottle of car bolic acid to his lips. The woman, realizing what he was about to do, leaped to take 1t from him and then ensued n struggle in the presence of the six little ones. in which the man finally conquered and drank the poi son. When an ambulance surgeon arr rived Corcoran was dead.

 The board of public works met at 80 o'clock this afternoon and award cd the contract for plankang and 0th- or repairs on the West Main street bridge over the Mad aiver to Tracy Bros Go for the sum of $1.09s. No other proposal was received. The bid IS higher by over a hundred dol lars than the company's offer to do the job couple ofsweeks ago, but at that time they wanted to retain all the old lumber, but under the condi- tions of the present one the discard ed stock belongs to the city.
 Tho board concluded to continue to rent the City hall for amusements under the restrictions imposed last year, that is. limiting the number of persons admitted to HOO. This an- ton was taken in answer to psti4 tion from Fl.

WIDOW ON STAND
Called Again To- Day States Case Nearly
 Finished.

New York, Dec 15--It seemed quite possible at the opening of the Patter- son trial today that the case of the prosecution against the former show girl would be completed before the close of this week. Following the brief appearance of Mrs Young, the widow of the dead boolxmaker, on the stand yesterday, it was said that she would be called to-day by Assistant District Attorney Rand to tell all she knows of the affairs between her hus- band and Miss Patterson.
 Itfwas believed that the examination of Mrs Young would open the way for another legal battle between Abraham Levy and Mir Rand, and there was an element of doubt as to whether or not Justice Dayis would allow the widow to tell all the, prosecutor would have her in order to bring out in stronger relief his theory of murder.
 With the conclusion of the evidence of Mrs Young the peoples case will be very nearly complete. The other witnesses who will be called should not occupy more than one days ses. sion, so there is every indication that MT Rand will be able to close his case on Friday.
 What attitude the defense will then adopt is matter of con ecture, The counsel for Miss Patterson declare that they win not decide whether or not to put any witnesses on the stand before all of the prosecution's testi- mony has been heard Tn view of the courts exclusion of testimony relat- ing to the alleged flight from justice of J. Morgan Smith, Mir Levy has ex- pressed tie opinion that he will not need to put in any defense. Whether or not Mir Rand still had some start ling disclosures to make. of course, was not known to Miss Patterson's s attorneys when the trial was resumed to-day.
