carried off a mysterious bundle a few
minutes before. Mrs. Gray could not
conceal her wonder. but Brewster's an

on the mystery. He could not tell her

purchase, the person who received a
dollar of Brewster's money signed a re-
ceipt for the amount. Newsboys and
bo0tblacks were the only beings who
escaped the Formally; tips to walters,
porters, cabbies, etc, were recorded
and afterward put into a class by
themselves. Receipts for the few dol

O'Reilly Went TO Rescue OF Chum h
Couldn't Swim and Both Were Drowned.
As a result of a foolhardy dare made in
a friendly discussion of each others swim
ming ability, Charles O'Reilly, % years
old, and william Hughes, "a, were drowned
in the Hudson River yesterday afternoon
of the foot Of West Thirty-ffth street .
The bodies nave not yet been recovered.
O'Reilly, who was a truck driver in the
employ of James j. Robb, who has a stable
at 5l3-5l5 West Thirty-ffth street, and
Hughes nave for a long time been boon
companions. About two weeks ago Hughes
lost his job in Dillon's fish market on Ninth
avenue near West Thirty-frst street. The
two took to sleeping in the Robb stable
until Hughes's income could enable them
to move into more desirable quarters.
Yesterday afternoon the chums decided
to take a stroll down to the pier at the foot
of the street TO see II they couldn't get
cooled Off. After looking into the water
for a while Hughes, who was not able to
swim a stroke, said to O'Reilly:
This is too good to miss, Charlie; l bet
l can beat you swimming over to the next
dock"
QUIT your kidding, Billy, you know you
can't swim" O'Reilly replied, according to
the statement of one of the bystanders.
Il can't, eh? Well, I'll just show you,-
said Hughes. With that he tossed off his
hat, and stripping off his coat and shoes
made a dive from the stringp ieoe. As soon
as he struck the water he let out a cry.
Throwing of his hat and coat O'Reilly
who is a good swimmer. leaped in after
him. As O'Reilly approached him Hughes
made a grab for his pal, and although
O'Reilly made a desperate effort to break
loose he couldn't shake Hughes off. Before
the men on a canalboat which was tied
up in the dock could reach the men both
sank.
Hughes was unmarried and leaves a
mother, a sister and two brothers. O'Reilly's
mother died about fifteen months ago.

the boat was able to return to the pier and
take on the rest Of the people, who had got
considerably excited at seeing her start

there was a demand from the excursion
committee that the boat stay out long
enough to enable the committee to dispose

shot and killed Frank Hoffman, a ~janitor,
at 1876 West 1854 street Saturday night in
a quarrel, was remanded to the Tombs
yesterday by order of Coroner Acritelli on
the charge of homicide.
From what Capt. Cottrell Of the West
152d street station was able to learn yester-
day there had been bad feeling between
Bulger and Hoffman for the last two weeks,
and the music teacher was afraid that the
~janitor was going to do him harm. Bulger
would not make any statement yesterday
when he was arraigned in the Harlem
court. He said that he shot in sclf-defence
The police are satisfied that Hoffman struck
Bulger with the black Jack which was found

LIGHTNING IN LINERS RIGGING.
SPARKS Came From the Captains Fingers

on La TOuralnc'S NfiuSe.
The French liner Ia Touraine, VIII ioh
got in yesterday, experienced a queer cleo
trioal storm about 9 O'Clock Saturday night
while of the Long Island coast.
Capt. Fajolle and Second Capt. Houvet
were on the bridge when they observed the
curious appearance Of the oceans surface.
The sea was Of a blue black color, notified
with copperish streaks, and the wake Of
the ship stretched backward in startling
Wilderness. At about the same time Capt.
Fajolle and Capt. Houvet noticed that the
wires of the Marconi rigging aloft were
outlined in brilliant gold. Every stay and
line appeared to take on a golden hue and
stood out brightly against the gloom.
The two captains took positions some
yards apart on the bridge and snapped
their fingers at each other. There is the
word of each captain for 1t that little electric
sparks flew from their fingers, cracking
and dancing, while there was a beautiful
display in blue and gold sparks from the
surcharged Marconi wires and the wire
stays.
The air was heavy and oppressive while
the electrical display lasted. In e few min
utes there was a terrific thunderstorm,
accompanied by a %downpour of rain. The
women in the steerage became badly fright
ened and screamed. A few tainted from
fright. The ventilators we're opened to give
as much relief as possible.
The storm lasted only a few minutes.
Capt. Fajolle laid that the b%rilliancy of the
electrical display was unique in his expert
ence; that he had never seen the air 30 SUR

EFT to Be Made In the Senate TO Put the
625. 900 Item In Sundry Civil bill.
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-In view Of the
failure in the House yesterday to secure the
adoption Of the committee amendment
~appropriating S25 600 for the travelling ex-
penses of the President of the United States,
an effort will be made in the Senate to put
the item in the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill. In the House the amendment went
out upon a point Of order against it, a rule
Of the House f%orbidding new legislation to
be attached to appropriation bills. Had
this point Of order not been made the APP
preparation would have been authorized
by the House.
There is no such rule in the Senate, and
it is the plan to have the item referred to
the Appropriations Committee and reported
to the Senate from the committee as part of
the Sundry Civil bill. When the Sundry
Civil bill is returned to the House that body.
without violating its rule, can accept the
Senate amendment.
