DEAD BODY FOUND
 IN AN ALLEY WAY
A SALVATION ARMY OFFICER MAKES GHASTLY FIND EARLY IN THE MoRNING-CoRoNER IS INVESTIGATING

The dead body of Steven O'Flarety was found yesterday morning by member of the Salvation army in small alley way in the rear of No. 2109 Second avenue. The body presented a horrible appearance as the arms of the deceased were out stretched in silent prayer or mute pro- test against an attack that was about to be made.
 The death of the man, who lived at Bessie Mines, Is a complete mystery and Coroner Paris Is called upon to solve the mystery. He is giving the matter his per- sonal attention, and expects in a day or two to be able to definitely determine whether the man met death in an acci- dental manner or was murdered
 Capt S. N. James of the Salvation army found the body of O Flarety. In discussing his ghastly find the captain stated that he had just come from his room in the army hall and chanced to look out of a window and saw a man lying on the ground. He states that he at once noti- fled the coroner and police headquarters. The officer says that he had never pre- viously seen the dead man and felt conf dent that If he had been in the hall the night previous he would have seen him.
 The body was badly bruised and a hole in the head bore evidence of severe fall or the fact that the dead man had been hit in the head with some blunt instru- ment The collarbone was broken. which 1t is thought was due to a fall. The physi- clans expressed doubt as to the cause of death, the wound in the head or the broken collarbone, which was a serious in' jury.

Llln O. FER GOES
 TO STRANDED SHIP
ROBERT SMITH PERFORMS A HE. Rolc FEAT OF MAKING PoSSl- HLE THE RESCUE OF PAssEN. GERS AND CREW FROM AReo.

Holland, Mich, November 24.-Where- ever the story is told of the wreck of the passenger steamer Arge from Chicago, (Which struck a sand bar today while att tempting to enter this harbor in the early hours of the morning, the name of Life Saver Robert Smith will be held in vener- ation.
 The life saving crew had labored hours in futile attempts to reach the stranded ship. Men and women passengers and the crew stood helpless at the end of the life line. not knowing how to manipulate the brooches buoy that would carry them i've hundred feet over the slender line to safety ashore. Then it was that Robert Smith tied about his body line thrown from the wreck to the struggling life boat and was dragged through the foaming waves to the deck of the Argo, sending safely ashore first the four women pas- .sengers and a little girl, and then one after another the other passengers and those of the crew who had not chosen to nemainN with Capt. John Stewart on board
 For hours the life savers had vainly tried to row their life boat to the wreck and after repeated efforts they were com pelled to desist and resort to the cannon and life line. Twenty-Five passengers and thirteen of the crew were hauled ashore, but Captain Stewart with a few picked men of his crew refused to desert the ship. This evening they were still on board, the brooches buoy being kept in readiness for their rescue the moment the ship should begin to show signs Of going to pieces.
 Representatives of the Graham and Morton steamer liner assert that their steamer, in trying to make the harbor, struck shoal. and losing her headway, was tossed helplessly against the north pier During the day she wroked north- ward along the beach, lying 1900 feet north of the pier, and within 200 feet of the shore. Displaying remarkable self-control the Argos messengers and crew betrayed no tendency to go into a panic, as they anxiously watched for hours the desper- ate efforts being made for their rescue. The wreck, spectacular and thrilling as it was, was devoid of fatalities.

The sentiment seemed to be general among followers of the sport that much depended on the character of to- morrow's play, and among the student body at Harvard almost as much anxiety on this point was shown as on the final result.
 The night before the game found Har- yard hopeful and the Yale men confi- dent, while Yale tonight was strong favorite among the multitude which ex- pected to witness the play.
