IGNORES INJUNCTION.
Mayor johnson Pockets Document and
Tells Men to Go Ahead.

Cleveland O., July 25.-The Municipal
Traction Co, recently organized to con-
struct number of street car lines in
this city on Il three-ccnt-far basis, began
a war on the Cleveland Electric Railway
Co. today by putting n force Of 800 men
at work tearing up the tracks Of the lat
ter company in fulton street. Mayor
johnson. who is credited with being
largely interested in the municipal Trac-
ton Co.. was personally on the ground.
Otticials of the Cleveland Electric Rail
way Co said they would apply for an
injunction ct once.
Mayor Johnson said the action was
taken because the Cleveland company re-
fused or neglected to comply with n
council resolution requiring it to take un
its tracks in Fulton street and remove
them to the east side OF the street.
The mayor int:mated that he would not
obey an injunction of one were issued
and said that as a result he might be in
Jail before night.
Subsequently the mayor said that the
tracks were being removed by city en-
ployes under the supervision of the board
OF public service and not by the Munich
pal lTdClfoli W. uo iiou "e Aii''S 'N'-'
generally believed
Judge Ford granted an injunction re-
straining the city and the Municipal
Traction Co. from further interference
with the tracks of the Cleveland Electric
Railway Co. in Fulton street. The an
junction was served upon Mayor john
son personally as he was overseeing the
work of tearing up the tracks. He ac-
knowledged the service and pat the docu-
mont III his pocket, but told the men to
proceed with their work and ignore the
courts order. Quite a large amount OF
work remained to be done when the in
junction was served.
The work Of tearing up the tracks OF
the Cleveland Electric Railway Co. in
Fulton street was completed shortly af-
ter noon and preparations were at once
begun to lay the tracks of the Municipal
Street Railway Co. in that thoroughfare.
Papers We're served on Mayor John-
son late this afternoon citing him to
appear in common pleas court tomor-
row morning to show cause why ne
should not be punished for contempt
for violating the temporary injunction
issued by Judge Ford today.
Mayor Tom l.. Johnson tonight in a
formal statement defends his own ac-
ton and that Of his subordinates in the
city administration in tearing away the
tracks of the Cleveland Electric Rail-
way. He says in part:
ION June II the city council by reso-
luton ordered the railway company to
move its single track on Fulton street
and directed the board of public SER
vice to move the tracks unless the com
pany complied within 80 days. That
was six weeks ago, and the order has
been utterly ignored by the company
The railway has been violating the law
all the time. and has shown no lncn'
nation to obey the city's order, wnlcf
was a perfectly reasonable and usua
one"
The hearing tomorrow morning. ir
which Mayor johnson is cited before
Judge Ford for contempt. will be stub
bornly contested on both sides ant
promises to be sensational and dra'
matte. ----..--

Wreck Of Bath Schooner
Menace to Navigation.
The John S. Deering Reported
by Captain Of Steamer Cevic.
DIsmantIed nuIl Is Directly Ia Course Of Big
Atlantic Liners and Dang eros.

New York, July 25.-With her hull
lust awash, the wandering derelict,
John S. Deering, of Bath, Me-, was
sighted on July Is, about 1000 miles
west of Queenstown, by the White Star
liner Cevic, from Liverpool, which ar
rived Wednesday.
Cant. Clark of the Cevic said the der
elicit was low in the water with only
the stumps of her fore and main
masts showing. He considers the dere-
lict a serious menace to navigation be-
cause it is directly in the path of all
west bound steamships on the North
Atlantic passenger route. Capt. Clarke
gave the exact position of the derelict
as latitude Alb N, and longitude BIAS
w. He sighted the wreck about 6
o'clock last Wednesday evening. 1t was
slowly drifting eastward.
The John s. Deering was formerly
a three -masted schooner. Late in Feb
ruary last she left Washington. d. C.,
with a cargo of lumber for New York.
Heavy storms were encountered anu
the Deering became dismasted and
waterlogged. In this condition she was
abandoned on March l by her master
and crew who were rescued ana ldHued
at Philadelphia. 1t was off Cope Hat
teras, North Carolina. that the dere-
lict started on her wanderings. and she
has had a remarkably long life as a
menace to navigation.
Since she was left by her crew. she
has noated with the Gulf stream in
northeasterly direction. 1t Is esti-
mated that over 5000 miles have been
covered in the 40 days since she was
abandoned. During this time she has
been sighted by a number of ships.

CLEVER Filler.

Amounting to S5,800,000.
Nc Can Now Sell Option al IO4 and Clear
$3.50 From Tho Deal.

New York. July 25.-The identity of
for $5,S0O,0o0 of the new Panama canal
bonds was learned today. Byerly turns
out to be a clerk in the accounting de-
partment of the American Express Co.
Ever since the bid for the bonds were
announced last Saturday Wall street
has been trying TO learn something
about Mr.. Byerly and has been specu-
lating as to the interest behind his
bid.
Byerly was not inclined to answer
any questions Tuesday afternoon after
he had been located. The treasurer of
the American Express Co. said:
This is entirely a personal matter
with Mr.. Byerly who is one of our
clerks. There is absolutely nothing in
the rumor that he represents interests
in the company"
Byerly had host Of callers Tues
day who wanted to know how he could
afford to bid s5,SOO.0O0 of government
bonds, but he had nothing to say.
The general opinion among those in
the American Express Co.'S. office is
that Byerly is taking a little flier,
which has not cost him anything more.
SO far, than nerve. Under the terms
of the sale no money need to be put up
until Aug. /. Byerly made four bids.
For one million of the bonds he offered
1O4. 125; fer the second million 1903 800;
for the third million 1895; and for the
s2,s19,5SO he offered 1O3S67. The New
York syndicate that got one-half of the
$50 DOC, 900 bonds put up price on them
Tuesday of 104.4O. 1t was ciphered out
by the bond experts Tuesday that
should Byerly sell his option at 1O4, he
would clear $3.50 without putting up u
cent save for the postage stamp which
carried his bid to Washington.

RECORD ON PENN. u. N. Tunnel.
In - Working Days In October a Gain N
d Feet Nas Made In One Heading.

October was the record month for prog
ress in the e~xcavation'of the Pennsylvania
Railroad tunnel being driven under Man
haitian Island. In the twenty-seven work.
ing days the best gain in ground made
in any of tho headings was 2O6 feet, an
average of more than seven and a half feet
"a day. The engineers report that firm
rock has been encountered all along the
line. This means hat every foot forward
has TO be made by blasting, but il saves
the excavators the trouble OF putting in
timber supports.
Every foot of progress means the re-
moval of thirty-two cubic yards of rock.
At the present rate the eastbound and
w~estbound headings of the eastern end
of the tunnel will meet near Third avcnue
within three months. The shafts running
west from Park avenue are not being pushed
as rapidly. The excavation has about
reached the ground under Fifth avenue
The heading was driven under the avenue
without any surface disturbance. At pres
ent the diggerS are AZ work beneath the
cellars of tho NaldoTf-AStOria \ forty

Of a broader length of tho tunnel, running
from Fifth avenue 70 the terminal and
wide enough to carry three tracks side
by side in a single Wupel.
The structure parts east Of Fifth avenue
into two tunnels, each containing Two
tracks. They run undrr Thirty-ScCond
and Thirty-third streets.
The boring under the subway was done
as smoothly as that under the Waldorf,
Astoria. Nobody was shaken up and
nothing was loosened. though dynamite
was tearing apart the solid rock only a
few feet beneath.

IDENTIFIED TWO CORPSES.
woman Looking for Dead Husband Picks
Wrong Man First.

Mrs. Bridget Tierney Of 1852 East 18th
street hurried to the Morgue yesterday
morning in a state OF great excitement
and declared she had made a mistake and
that the body she had taken away on the
previous day was not that Of her husband,
Daniel, but was that Of an entire stranger.
She discovered her error when she went
to view the body after it had been EN-
balmed in the undertaking rooms Of Ber-
tram Sullivan at l777 Third avenue.
She then identified another body in the
Morgue as that Of her husband. She was
positive this time that there was no mistake.
TO convince the officials she went away
and brought back five or six friends who
~substantiated her opinion.
After a protracted session in the Coroners'
Office Mrs. Tieney made affidavit and
had the second body removed from the
Morgue and sent to an undertaken.
The first body was that Of a man s feet 7
inches in height. The second was 4 feet
II inches. The former had only one eye
and was bald; the latter had both eyes
and a shock OF brown hair. The body
that Mrs. Tierney first claimed was that
of a man who had died at ITO Bowery of
chronic alcoholism. The one she now has
was that of a man killed on the elevated
structure at 10th street and Third avenue
She had not lived with her husband for
time before his death.

FOUGHT no SAVE KEHOE'S LIFE.
Dock Department Employee Dies Despite
~P0liceinan's bravery.

Dennis Kehoe, an old employee OF the
dock department, will be buried to- morrow
from his late honrc at 1856 East iO2d street.
kehoe died at the Presbyterian Hospital
last Thursday after he had been saved from
drowning by Policeman James j. Riley.
Riley was assigned to the tugboat Brook
lyn. which makes a trip along the docks
every Thursday to pay of the department
employees on the various piers. The boat
carries $4,000 and Riley had 20 guard this.
At the pier at the loot Of East Ninety
first street two big bargcs we're tied up.
The BROOKLYN made fast 10 the outer one
and the employees. with the exception Of
Kehoe, climbed over the barges to get their
money. Kehoe did not try to cross the
barges, but remained on the pier. Appar-
emily while waiting for his money he was
seized with an attack OF vertigo and fell
between the pierhead and the barge.
In the rush of the men to get their money
nobody noticed the old mans fall save
Policeman Riley. He leaped from the tug
and made for where he had seen him disap-
pear. What made the feat particularly
hazardous was the fact that with the move
ment of the tide the barge now and then
swung against the pierhead..
Riley climbed down the side of the barge
and grabbed the old man just as he was
going down. He held on to Kehoe with ons
hand and Ia a cleat on the side of the barge
with the other. He shouted for help. but
for a time nobody heard him and every
second the barge threatened to swing up
against the piles and crush his life out.
finsllv some one heard him and a ladder
was lowered. just after they hao been
pulled up the swell from a passing boat
struck the bargeS and they hit the pier.
When the two men were pulled no Riley
wa exhausted and one of his fingers had
been cnIshed. Kehoe was hurried to the
hospital, but il was found thar his head had
heen injured and he died shortly afterwaTd.
Riley turned in a brief report that he had
saved n man from drowning. but did not
mentor some Of the details which bowed
