WAS FLEEING AT TIME.

Several hundred prohibitionists of
Staten Island gathered in a tent in
Central avenue, Mariners Harbor,
Staten Island, last night for the first
meeting of a two-days rally, in
which they are to nominate a county
ticket for the fall elections.
After the meeting was called to Or
der the Rev. j. ii. Howard, pastor of
the Summerfield Methodist church,
offered prayer. He was calling upon
God for guidance for the convention
when man, hitherto unnoticed by
those seated about MIN, arose from
his seat and walked down the aisle
toward the platform.
His sudden movement caused q
stir among the audience, who were
sitting with bowed heads. They
raised their eyes as the Rev. Mr..
Howard, taken by surprise, ceased
speaking and looked at the man. The
man seemed calm and self-possessed.
AS he approached the platform he
raised his hand and bowed his head,
as though calling for silence. Sever
al men moved toward him to take
him to the door.

Before they had reached him the
man fell on his knees, raised his
hands to the sky and said in loud
voice easily distinguishable in all
parts of the tent

He remained for several seconds
speechless, while all about nm was
hushed and the people leaned for

Victim Was Harry Nelson, of 1S0
Washington Strect-Was at Work
ut the Back of the Roof When
Ladder Fell Backward and He Was
Hurled to the Ground-Thc City
Ambulance Was Called Out.

In spite of the fact that Harry Mel
son, of 1S9 Washington street, fell
almost thirty-five feet yesterday af-
ternoon, he is practically uninjured
today.
At about 230 o'clock the police
received call for the ambulance
from Andrew Lowe, at 157 Broad
street. Patrolman Wood, who went
with the vehicle in answering the
call, found small crowd around
man who was lying on the ground in
front of the house at 1S9 Washing
ton street. A few inquiries revealed
the fact that the supposed injured
man was Frank Nelson, painter,
who while working on the extreme
peak of the dwelling, had fallen from
a ladder to the ground.
Other workmen had heard the
noise, and rushed to the front yard,
where they found Nelson lying near
the fence, bleeding slightly from the
nostrils.
Arose and Walked.
Patrolman Wood wanted the men
present to place the injured man in
the ambulance and taken to the hos
pital, when to his amazement, Nell
son arose, and was able to walk
around, protesting loudly that he
would not go there. Let us take you
home in the ambulance then" said
the officer. NO" said Nelson, 81 am
not hurt; I'll walk home"
Some of the bystanders wanted to
send for doctor, but Nelson insisted
that he was not hurt, and finally
walked to his home on Washington
street, assisted by the policeman
None of Nelson's bones was broken
by the fall, and unless internal in
juries develop, a few cuts on the
face will be the only injuries.
One peculiar thing about the acci-
dent was that Nelson, although he
fell from the peak of the house,
did not strike the porch directly un-
derneath, and the ladder was found
broken near the fence. Judging from
the position in which it was found,
it would seem that the ladder and its
burden had fallen backward.

Six of The Recent Breaking and
Entering Cases Are Now
Solved.
WORKED CASH DRAWER.
George Fisher, Who Was Arrested at
Staten Island Ferry, Furnishes One
of the Most Interesting Cases of
Youthful Criminals the Local Po-
lice Have Ever Handled--Will BE
Arraigned Before Recorder Tonight

Six robberies of recent origin are
now clear to the police, they having
been confessed to yesterday by
George Fisher, eleven years old, of
63 Penn street. Fisher, as told in
yesterdays NEWS, was found at the
ferry yesterday morning by Patrol
man McDermott, who, thinking that
the lad acted suspiciously, took him
to the police station, where careful
questioning by Chief Burke revealed
that young Fisher knew something
about a number of recent petty
thefts. The first one that the youth
confessed to was that of the Fowler
confectionery store.
He was taken there yesterday by
Detective Huff, and told how he had
entered through a back window and
robbed the place of almost 81 in
change, also a large amount of candy.
"What did you do with the can
dy?" asked the detective.
81 ate it," said the boy, without the
slightest hesitation.
Can you open that cash register?''
asked HUH.
Without a word, Fisher got upon 4
chair, and in an instant pressed the
key that opens the drawer.
Where did you learn how to dc
that?" said Huff.
Il saw the lady do it," was the re-
ply of Fisher, who seemed to enjoy
the situation.
Robbed Cafe, Too.
The cafe of Harry Greene's, in
Smith street, was next visited, and
Fisher showed the detective how he
had crawled in between an open win
dow and some barrels. After that he
said he opened the register and tool
out $40.
The places of Wagner & Wurtzell
and Wedeen, the clothier, in State
street, were also visited, and in eacl
instance the culprit said they were
the stores that he had entered. The
drug store of f. A. Seaman on State
street, which was robbed also only a
few weeks ago, is charged to Fishers
credit.
He was also found recently in the
yard of Michael Seaman, the State
street grocer, but was put out before
he had taken anything.

BOIIsChWeiler'S Union Band Heard
by a Few Hundred People
Who Risked Wet Feet.
PROGRAM WAS SPLENDID
When Showers Ceased, Shortly BE-
fore Fight O'Clock, It Was Decided
to Give Second Concert Anyway
Many Were Drawn by the Music,
and Those Who Attended Enjoyed
Selections Greatly and Applauded.

In the face of showers up to al
was given by Bollschweiler's Union
band last night in the stand at City
Hall triangle. Although there was
but handful of people when the
first selection, the Washington Grays
March, was started at $40 o'clock,
the number gradually increased until
a hundred or two stood in the park
and nearby walks, and what they
lacked in numerical strength was
made up in appreciation. The pro-
gram had been prepared by Director
Bollschweiler with special care and
with an eye providing lively, catchy
airs, and the musicians, about twen-
ty-five in number, played exceedingly
well.
Had the weather been fair preced-
ing the time for the concert and had
the ground and the park benches
been dry, it is a certainty that the
crowd of few weeks ago at the first
concert would have been duplicated.
But a heavy rainstorm, accompanied
by lightning and lasting to within a
few minutes of the start of the con-
cert, drenched the walks, roads, grass
and park seats. A number had the
temerity to sit on the park seats,
spreading newspapers to provide a
dry surface, but the majority stood
and walked around and enjoyed the
renditions of this city's splendid mu-
steal organization.
The expenses of the concert were
borne by voluntary gifts.
