Tragic Episode OF Police Captain, Cor oner,
Chinaman and Meat saw.

Twenty members OF German Turn
verein. who have been touring this country
partly for pleasure and partly to study
social life in America, were the guests last
night of Coroner Gustav Scholer in a trip
through Chinatown. The Coroner and his
guests were escorted by Capt. Brown of
the Elizabeth street station and two de-
tectves. The party visited the joss house
and most of the other places worth seeing,
and finally wound ur IN a Chinese butcher
shop in Pell street
Coroner Schoer proposed then that
they go with him and look at the Coroner S
Office in the Criminal Courts Building They
had got about 100 feet away from the meat
shop when they discovered that they were
being pursued by an excited Chinaman.
Somebody, he said, had taken his meat saw
and he wanted it back.
Nobody in this crowd said Capt. Brown.
"Prepostero,s, said the Coroner.
But the Chinnman couldn't see things
that way. He continued to follow and
demand in louder voice that his meat
saw be returned. Other Cinnamon gath
cred and in few minutes Pell street was
almost blocked.
Again the captain protested and again
the Coroner spluttered. The Coroner also
apologized to his guests, explaining in
German what the trouble was. A few
seconds later the party started on again
and as they did so the meat saw was found
living in the road None of the Germans
knew ANYTHING about 1t.

ALDERMEN'S TRANSIT HOLDUP.
Stay OF Justice Blanchard's Order Granted
Elk Parte by Justice Truax.

Stay OF Justice Blancharh's Order Granted
Elk Parte by Justice Truax.
1t will be remembered that at the instiga-
ton Of the Board of Aldermen a taxpayer
named Wilcox began a suit about three
weeks ago to enjoin the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment from acting on the
| rapid transit routes which short time
before had been adopted by the Rapid
Transit Commission after months of in
veetigation. This suit was based upon
the contention that the recent legislation
transferring the franchise granting power
from the Board of Aldermen to the Board
Of Estimate and Apportionment was I'M
constitutional
In that suit the plaintiff applied for an
injunction, which. after argument, was
denied by Justice Blanchard, who wrote
strong opinion upholding the constitu-
tionality of the legislation. This decision
apparently left the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment free to act upon the rapid
transit routes. They took preliminary
action last week and have made the matter
a special order for their weekly meeting
tomorrow.
1t has just been discovered that several
days ago Justice TruaX granted ex parte
an order staying Justice Blanchard's order.
This stay. so long as it is in force, utilities
Justice Blanchard's decision.
The motion TO continue Justice Iruax's
stay comes up lefore Justice Gildersleeve
this morning, and the Corporation Counsel,
acting for the Board of Estimate and Appor-
tionment, will endeavor to have the stay
vacated. II the stay is vacated, then the
Board Of Estimate and Apportionment will
lie free to act upon the rapid transit routes
at It's meeting on Friday. II, however. the
stay is not vacated and it is not able to act
on Friday it may not e al lie to act until
Septemf err, as there will lie no full meeting
Of the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment for about two months, legtnning with
July IA.
The purpose Of the tactics of the Board of
Aldermen and Of their allies who are seeking
to delay rapid transit is admitted They
hope to prevent the Board Of Estimate and
Apportionment from acting on the rapid
transit franchises until fall, thus insuring
delay Of at least three months in the e.
ginning Of the construction OF the new
subways. If, however Justice Gildersleeve
vacates the stay the Board of Estimate and
Appointment will lie free to act on Friday.

POSTUM CEREAL.
IN COLONEL'S TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home of the famous "Keyhnel
Keeyartah of Cartersvile," away down
South, comes an enthusiastic letter about
Postum.
Il was in very delicate health, suffering
from indigestion and nervous trouble
so severe that | could hardly sleep. The
doctor ordered me to discontinue the use
Of the old kind Of coffee, which was like
poison to me, producing such extreme
disturbance that could not control my
self. But such was my love for it that l
could not get my own consent to give it
till my father one day brought home a
package Of Postum Food Coffee.
IL had the new food drink carefully pre-
pared according to directions and gave
it a fair trial. 1t proved to have rich
flavor and made a healthy, wholesome
and delightful drink, To my taste the ad-
dition of cream greatly improves it.
MY health began to improve as soon as
the drug effect of the old coffee was re-
moved and the Postum Coffee had time
to make its influence felt. My nervous
troubles were speedily relieved and the
sleep which the old coffee drove from my
pillow always came to soothe and strengthen
me after l had drunk Postum-in a very
short time | began to sleep letter than
had for years Lefore. | have now used
Postum Coffee for several years and like
it better and find it more beneficial than
when / first began. 1t is an unspeakable
joy to lie relieved of the old distress and
sickness" Name given by Postum Com

CARONIA SHAVED A YACHT.
Thought 1t Was the Corsair When 1t Showed

A clergyman who was a passen ger by the
Cunard liner Caronia. in yesterday from
Liverpool says that at o'clock on Tues
day afternoon, in a dense fog. a large steam
yacht appeared on the port bow Of the liner
and seemed about to cross her course.
The yacht was not more than thirty yards
away and the steamship. which was going
at reduced speed, slowed down to avoid her.
More than twenty-five men were seen
on the yachts decks, the clergyman says,
and the boats we're swinging out on the
davts as if ready for emergency. The
impression Of the clergyman was that the
yacht was j, Perpont Morgan's Corsair.
