met before. Britt has considerable
endurance and can stand a fair
amount of punishment, but his
blows lacked steam when he met
the Battler. Britt is much cleverer
than Nelson as boxer; he is striv-
ing to be his master as a fighter
and the only way he can accomplish
that end is by developing a sleep
producing punch.

HOMEOPATHS'
NEW OFFICERS
American Institute and lnterna-
tiOnaI Congress Convened at
Atlantic City Yesterday.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 14.-At
the business session of the American
Institute of Homeopathy, held yes
terday prior to the meeting of the
international congress, the following
officers were elected: President, DR..
e. B. Hooker, Hartford, Conn; first
vice president, DR.. James V. Ward,
health commissioner Of San Francis
co; second vice president, DR.. w. Il.
Reilly, Fulton, Mo; secretary, DR..
Frank Kraft, Cleveland; treasurer;
DR.. T. Franklin Smith, New York;
registrar, DR.. j. II. Bald, Bay City,
Mich: necrologist. DR.. c. B. Kinyon,
Ann Arbor, Mich, and member of
the board of censors, DR.. G. H. Quay.
Cleveland.
A standing vote on the convention
city for next year showed that James
town, Va, had 1877 adherents, and
Oklahoma City, 124. The vote was
questioned, and after some confusion
it was agreed to take a ballot during
the day. 1t was reported that $1,000
had been raised for homeopathic ply
sicians who suffered losses in the Cal
ifornia earthquake. The institute
subscribed $1,000 in aid of the San
Francisco Homeopathic Hospital.
Following the business session, the
international congress convened, and
much of the remainder of the day was
given over to a discussion of tuber-
c~ulosis. DR.. John e. White, of Colo
RADIO Springs, warned physicians
against sending patients west, to
drift. They should have the same care
in Colorado, he said, that they would
have at home under the treatment of
a physician.

TWAS ONLY A
FALSE ALARM.
Screams from Under Trolley Cal
Made Crowd Imagine Fatality
kids Yelled "Stung'.

As a trolley car was passing over
the switch at State and Smith streets
late yesterday afternoon loud screams
were heard from beneath, as of a
man in agony. The cries were so
genuine that pedestrians and wagon
drivers stopped and bystanders and
the workmen who were fixing the
pavement turned, expecting to see the
mangled form of an unfortunate vic
TIM. The a was stopped and peo-
pie ran to investigate.
The surprise of the crowd when
they saw the cause of the sounds
was even greater than their curiosity
and anxiety of a few second previ-
Gus.
The solution was simple. The pave
ment under the tracks had been torn
up for the improvement of the street
upon which a gang of men was at
work. The hole under the track at
one point was large and deep enough
for a man to remain without leaving
any part of his body above the track,
which rested in its usual position,
supported by the cross ties. A work
man, whether because it was the
quickest way to get out of the ap-
preaching cars way or with a joke in
mind is not known, remained in the
excavation while the car passed over.
Whether it was fear or a spirit of
fun which prompted him to scream is
a matter of mystery, but yell he did
with the aforesaid results.
The corner occupants continued
their discussions; the wagon drivers
started their horses; pedestrians con-
tinued up OF down the street; the
dogs ambled along; the workmen re-
sumed their labor; the reporters
grinned; errand boys shifted their
cigarettes,-and, the cause of all the
excitement smiled and went on work.

with the minister and the other men
about him until Patrolman Becker
arrived from West Brighton. Becker
recognized him as Dean and as a man
who had given the police trouble be-
fore and who shot Patrolman Ma
thias a year ago.
Becker decided to call help and
started to get it. Dean broke away
and ran. Those who had him cap
tive gave chase, caught him and de-
tanned him until the patrol wagon
arrived.
Dean is twenty-nine years\of age.
Nine years ago he married Miss
Esther Cozine. They lived happily
for about five years. They have three
children. Four years ago Mrs, Dean
left her husband and went to live
| with her mother. Dean went away
after a year or So, and was away
February. Then he appeared at his
mother-in-law's house and demanded
| permission to see his wife and chill
dren. 1t was denied him, and he
went away, but returned in two
hours. He renewed his demand and
enforced it by firing two shots, One
bullet hit Mrs. Cozine in the left
breast.
Dean her entered the house and
meeting his wife who had run out to
see what had occurred, he attacked
and beat her. Then he disappeared.
Mrs. Cozine was taken to st. Vim
cents Hospital, where she lay on the
verge of death for weeks, but finally
recovered. Nothing more was heard
from Dean until he appeared in the
convention tent.
Dean told the police last night that
he killed a man the same night he
shot Mrs. Cozine and beat his wife.
He says he was fleeing to Tottenville
and me- a man, ~quarrelled with him,
struck him on the head with a club
and killed him. He says this occurred
on the Fresh Kill bridge trestle. The
records show that a MAI was picked
up dead in the water alongside the
trestle a few days after the assault
on Mrs. Cozine and that he was bur-
led unidentified.
Dean says he has been working in
New Jersey, but recently became pos
sessed Of a desire to see his wife and
children, and was on his way to try
to when he was taken with the de-
sire to make the confession to the
clergyman.

CONVENTION
500 Delegates Attended Meeting
of State Fire mems Associa-
ton at Atlantic CITY.
CITY. Sent

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. Ia
Charging that some of the insurance
agents were sending business to
other states in order to save the 2
per eel tax levied for the benefit of
the State Firemen's Associations
fund, used to take care of widows
and children of those killed in the
line of dutyS the State Firemen's AS
ISOLATION convention, in annual SEES
sion mere yesterday on the Steel Pier,
attended by over 500 delegates, de-
cided to request the State Banking
Commissioner to investigate the
charge and have the tax lodging
stopped.
The Atlantic City fire department
muddle appeared in the convention.
The volunteers, who retired two
years ago, claimed the money, and
the paid men, who have been in SER
vice two years, say they are entitled
to one-half of the cash. The courts
have upset the paid department and
therefore the volunteers as a Pigment
of law are in existence while as a
matter of fact, the paid men are on
duty. Local insurance men have held
up the tax pending a court decision.
The news that the plan to place in
surance under federal control had
been decided unconstitutional pleased
the delegates. Thanks we're given to
Governor Stokes and Senator Dryden
for their efforts to benefit the fire
men.
Auditor Gibson reported the great
est gain in the assets of the associa-
ton of any veal in the organization,
$6S,S60. This sum was added after
a payment of 100000 was made for
various purposes. The general fund
now almost reaches $1,000, 600.
Mayor Stoy greeted the visitors,
and General Spencer congratulated
the flremen on the general growth of
the organization. There are 1874 loo
al associations in the state. Resolu-
tons declared against "snap" relief
organization for the exerting of con-
troll over the election of relief bodies.
A new rule was offered under which
such exempt associations must be in
existence for six months before ac-
quiring a voice in the management
of the funds of subordinate organ

Joselson, on State street, yesterday
morning, and there purchased a new
suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, a
waist, a hat, in fact, a full outfit,
which he paid for with the stolen
money.
Other thefts may develop, and the
case IS considered one Of the most
remarkable for youthful criminals
known in the history of the police
records of this city.
Boy Is Maynard.
Fishers parents are reputable PEG
pie, and have tried to keep a close
rein on the youth, without any sue
cess, and will probably be glad that
he is at last to be taken care of.
Fishers father is the man who
found the body of Mary Anderson
who was murdered in 1892, along the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks.
The boy told the police that he
slept at night in barrels, boxes and
sometimes in different doorways.
Many times he was found by the pa
trolmen and brought to the station
house, in either a frozen or half
starved condition last winter.
A picture of the young criminal
was taken by Photographer Tobias
yesterday and it will be one of the
most interesting, when added to the
chiefs collection. Recorder Pickers-
gill will hear the case tonight.
