Good him Are Bound 20 Happe n TO
ABDUL Mahomet Of the Sea.

Osman Abrom, sersng OF the British
steamship Bantu, which Is discharging
sugar at Bush's docks. wen TO the cabin
Of Capt. Wooster yesterday and said that
Abdul Mahomet was siling.
The very severe weather Of the last few
days seem 10 have got on his lungs said
the serang.
Capt. Wooster went forw ard and found
the man Abdul i'll. There is no surgeon on
the Bantu, SO the captain called an am
bulance.
The man has pneumonia, said the doo-
tor: Ibis chances Of recovery are small
unless we get him to the hospital at once"
And so Abdul was bundled up and put in
the ambulance.
But before he vent he called the captain
10 his side.
Capt. Sahib, I will not die, said Abdul,
Il will live And go back TO India. Did not
the priest tell me that I would have much
luck2
Capt. Sahib. in Punjab my father ia a
tiller Of the soil, but his wealth is so great
that each year he pays 10 the treasury Of
the temple two cows. 1t was the priest
OF the temple that told me of my future,
and I know that I will yet go back
-Abdul's good luck began when he shipped
with me at Colombo some six months since"
said Capt. Wooster later. -Out Calcutta
way he fell down the main hatch and broke
his leg. Then he was washed overheard
in the Indian Ocean and saved only be-
cause he was a good swimmer. He was
bitten by the ships pet dog, whipped in
three fights with Lascars, who thought
that he held himself above them, guyed
by every one forward, and now he's threat
ened with pneumonia"
There are thirty other Lascars on the
Bantu, all shipped In Colombo, but they
are only half OF the number that signed.
The others when they heard that the vessel
was to come to America quit at Shields.
Nothing would induce them to risk the
rigors OF the north Atlantic in winter.
Hanging on the wall of Capt. Wooster's
cabin until yesterday were two spears,
the points Of which the captain had been
told were covered with some deadly poison.
Yesterday a pet cat jumped on the table
while the captain was at his dinner. The
first officer took one of the spears and play
fully jabbed the cat. In two minutes the
animal was dead. Then the spears went
overboard-at least, you can't prove any
thing by them.

international sesmsn's Union Acts Against
a Local Body,

Word reached this city yesterday from
Boston that the International Seamen's
Union, which has its headquarters there,
has expelled the Manhattan Ferrymen's
Association, recently formed as one Of its
locals, for acting contrary to trade union
rules. II was explained last night at 81
South street, the headquarters of the At
lantic coast branch of the International
Seamen's Union, hat though no official
notification had reached the Atlantic Coast
branch of the expulsion Of the new union
such action was expected. Delegate Plum
mer OF the Atlantic Coast Seamen's Union
said:
THE Manhattan Ferrymen's Association
has been violating trade union rules since
IL was organized right along by invading
the jurisdiction of other unions. There
ave been constant complaints about it,"
One OF the complaints is the Eccentric
Firemen's Union, which has been COM
planning hat although there are two unions
Of firemen in existence the new union has
been organizing the firemen on the ferry
boats. James Holland, business agent Of
the Eccentric Firemen's Union, warned the
new union recently that il IL did not stop
organizing the ferryboat firemen in It's
membership strong action would be taken
against it.

Did When the FIremen Came.

bTu ihC AV hN @hts
After the firemen had extinguished a
blaze in the four story tenement at 81 Sec
ond avenue yesterday afternoon and the
story of Speck's cunning had spread through
the n~eighborhood everybody voted Speck
one of the best tour footed mothers in
town. Before the fire was discov cred
and the sixteen families occupying the
building rushed to the street Speck was
practically unknown.
Speck and her kittens, who were born
two weeks ago, occupied a cosey box in the
plumbing shop of F. T~urkowsky in the
basement. She and the kittens were en-
joying a nap late in the afternoon when a
defective gas meter exploded, setting fire
to the ceiling and wall. Turkowsky had
locked the door and zone home for the
day, n there was no way .Speck and her
kittens could get out. But she could meow,
and she did Justify,
Roundsman Hellmers Of the Fifth street
station was passing the tenement when
his attention was attracted by her cries.
Peering through he door leading to the
basement, he saw flames licking the ceiling
and wall. By the time the firemen arrived
the fire had made rapid progress. Fire
man Joseph Hurley Oh Truck 0 smashed
Speck, with one Of her kittens in her mouth,
at the top Of a low landing. 81 ran up
the steps. deposited it on the sidewalk and
then dashed back into the shop and CROPPED
her way to the corner where she had carried
her little ones away from danger. Selling
the second kitten, she hurried to the street.
Twice more she wen back and had her
offspring safe in the street long before
the fremen conquered the fire.
Roundsman Hellmers said he would
probably rave failed to discover the blaze
but for the meowing Of the cat. The fire

MILES BEACH'S NAME IN SUIT.
n Late Justices stock speCuIa lions at
the Bottom OF the Bennett Case.

H-hN y ~ ONe hhoAe -
the Bottom OF the bennett Case.
A suit which had for its origin stock
speculations Of Miles Beach. the Supreme
Court Justice who died some years ago.
came to light yesterday through the filing
Of a report by Hamilton Odell as referee.
The suit was brought by Henry S. Bennett
a lawyer, TO recover s2l 800 from Frank
Work and the other members Of the stock
broking firm Of Work, Strong 4 Co. Mr..
Odell holds that the suit should be dismissed
The evidence showed that over twenty
years 4 Justice Beach bought and sold
stocks through Work, Strong 4 Co. In
1885 he owed the firm sl4, $50, which il sought
vainly 70 collect. Three years later Work,
Strong Il Co. retained Bennett to begin an
action to recover from Justice Beach the
noun he owed the firm.
The suit was fought in every court till
in 1891 the Court OF Appeals affirmed a judg-
ment against Justice Beach in favor Of
collected some months later and then
Benefits services in this matter ended.
While the Beach suit was pending on
appeal, Bennett was specializing himself
through Work, Strong d Co. He had two
accounts with the firm, one Of which was
closed in 1892 and the other in 1894.
Ten years later, In 1904, Bennett started
a suit against Frank Work and the survivors
Of Work, Strong a Co. to recover s21 500.
He alleged hat the Arm owed him $500
for his services in the Beach case and that
there was SIS 900 more due him for profits
in his speculations. The defendants denied
owing him anything, and set up the statute
Of limitations. The suit was tried before
Mr.. Odell.
The referee finds that the statute Of
limitations Ia a complete bar 20 the action,
but he points out further that IL il were
not he cannot find that there is anything
owing TO Mr.. Bennett.

GILLETTE WILL APPEAL.
Apparently Unm owed by the Verdict Chats
GayIy with Callers.

GsyIy with Callers.
HERKIMER, N. Y, Dec. 5.-Chester Gillette
arose this morning after a sound sleep, ate
a hearty breakfast and then received a
number Of callers from Cortland, with
whom he chatted gayly and passed the COM
pliments Of the season. When they had
gone he sat down quietly and read.
During the morning a telegram came to
him from his mother which read; Have
wired your attorneys to appeal. viii DO
with you lei trial.
Gillette replied: Have plenty Of courage.
Have until tomorrow TO appeal
Gillette's attorneys intend to make a
strong fizht for him yet, and hope to have
the case sent pack by the Court of Appeals
for retrial. Amotion was to have been made
tomorrow TO set aside the verdict as against
the weight OF evidence, but Mr.. Mills has
not had time 10 prepare IL, and Senator Mills
said to-day that sentence would not be pro-
nounced until Monday.
The contention of the defence will be that
there was no evidence TO prove premedi;
tation and murder In the first degree and will
appeal on that ground.
Some Of the jurors went TO see Gillette
to-day. II seemed a case OF rubbing IL in,
but the stoical young prisoner received
them with a pleasant face.

morning. II has been a hard three weeks
for them. and Mrs. Brown looked as II her
trouble would shorten her life.
Gillette heard the verdict that doomed
him to death at just 11:l5 o'clock last night.
At midnight he was sleeping soundly. His
keepers had to wake him up this morning
as one who might a been sleeping late
after a dance the night before. II the
mans apparent lack OF feeling is assumed
he has been consistent TO the end and proved
himself a wonderful actor.

POLICE SERGEANTS' RATING.
2 OF Them Pass the Examination for
Promotion TO Captains Grade.

Three hundred and twenty-nine police
sergeants and detective sergeants have
passed the Civil Service examination for
promotion to captaincies. Detective Ser
geant John +. Linden of Inspector McLaugh-
Inns stan heads the list, which was made
public yesterday. He has a percentage Of
90. SO.
Sergt. Thomas Palmer OF the West Forty
seventh street station tops the list of those
not eligible for promotion until they have
put in three years as desk sergeant. II
Palmer's rating included three years service
on desk duty his percentage would be the
highest OF any man who passed the exami-
nation. He has headed the list in every
examination he entered since he has been
in the department..
An unusually large number Of detective
sergeants have landed well up in the list,
eighteen being among the first thirty. The
list will stand for four years, and in that
time it is likely that about twenty Of the
eligible will be promoted to the rank of
captain. The remaining 800 candidates
will hen have to go into a new examina-
ton.

GAS DEPOSITS TOO LARGE.
Consum ers object to q $40 Advancc Even
At an so Cent Rate.

Supreme Court Justice Davis heard srgu-
ment yesterday in Ia applications by gas
nsum for injunctions to restrain the
Consolidated Gas Company and the allied
companies from enforcing a new plan OF
demanding a SO deposit instead of the
ordinary t5 deposit from persons who re-
fuse TO pay more than the 80 cents per
thousand feet of gas.
Clarence j. Shearn, for all the applicants,
said that the increase was being applied
by the company TO meet the difference
between the 50 cent and the old dollar rate
andMr. Shearn denounced the entire scheme
as illegal and unconscionable.
Lawyer Benedict Of Shearman a Sterling,
for the Consolidated, said that the law
authorized the demand for a deposit equiva-
lent to about two months consumption OF
gas. He denied that the extra deposit
was being used to make up the difference
In the bills.
Justice Davis reserved his decision,
but expressed It as his opinion that the
important point at issue was what was being
done with the extra deposit money. II
II was being used to make up the difference
In the bills, then he thought, he said, that
the action OF the company was illegal.

Engineers society Hears a Boston Man
Explain the System Used There-says
Ihat Cars as Wen ~ the Tunnels
should Have Fresh Air Constantly.
Subway ventilation; the evolution OF
gas power, a scheme OF apprenticeship
whereby the supply Of skilled worhmeB
can be made to keep up with the demand,
and President Taylor's criticism Of the
rule of thumb" method Of cutting metal
were some Of the things considered at yes
terday's three sessions OF the American
Society Of Mechanical Engineers, which Is
holding its annual convention at a West
Twenty-seventh street. The programme
for Friday morning was shifted TO la {
evening, leaving Friday clear for the trip
TO the Sandy Hook proving ground and
Fort Hancock which h members Of the
society are to take as the guests of the
War Department. d.
The subway matter was introduced by
II. A. Carson's paper on the ventilation OF
Boston's tunnels. He explained that the
ventilating system for -four and one-third
miles of subway is based on the admission OF
fresh air at stations and portals and the
withdrawal Of soiled air by exhaust fans
at places about half way between. The
air can be entirely renewed four times or
more every hour, Mr.. Carson said.
II was his opinion that complete ven-
tilation in electric subways is incomplete
unless the cars are also ventilated.
The engineers were so interested in WIN.
Alexander's paper on a Plan to Provide
Skilled Workmen" that they had It raised
from the bottom to the top Of last nights
programme. The plan described was that
adopted by tn General Electric Company
at West Lynn, Mass, TO keep itself supplied
with well trained men by having training
schools.
On Tuesday in his address on The Art
Of Cutting Metals " President Frederick
W. Taylor declared that the skilled mechanic
seldom does more thar one-third OF what
he could do scientifically. When this state
ment and the discoveries announced by
I Mr.. Taylor came p for discussion yesterday
morning there ensued a sharp debate.
Some OF the engineers declared that the re-
suits of his experiments would revolutionize
the metal cutting industry.
The society elected as president Prof.
Frederick R. Hutton OF Columbia, who has
been secretary for twenty-three years.
More papers will be read this morning.
In the afternoon the engineers and their
wives will visit the Port Morris power
station Of the New York Central Railroad.

CHAPEL FOR WORK AMONG JEWS.
E~piscopaIlans Intend 20 Improve the Old
PrO-Cathedral.

E~piscopalians are planning increased
work among the Jews, especially among
Russian Jews Of the East Side. 1t will be
done through the Episcopal City Mission
Society. Some time since the society
sought to axe over from st. Georges
parish the property in Stanton street which
used to be called the Pro-Cathedral. A
legal point arose which has delayed the
plan, but as soon as the Legislature meets
a bill perfecting the title will be presented.
That accomplished, about $50 600 will be ex-
pesded.
The property includes a chapel and
q parish house. When the City Mission
Society acquires the property these will
be named the Chapel of st. Priscilla and
the House Of Aquils, the latter to be run
rs . neighborhood house. II was explained
yesterday that the names were chosen
because Aquila and Priscilla were Jews,
thought in their day competent to be sup
porters Of st. Paul in his work and so able
that Apollos sat at their feet to be taught.
A nember Of the society, speaking yester-
day Of the contemplated work, said:
I'VE have not changed our plans because
of anything said in the recent convention
or OF any letters that AVE been written
rcne way or the other concerning attempts
TO c~hristianize the Jews. We have nothing
70 cay about crimes among Jews or among
anybody else. Nor are we going out OF
COR way to reach the Jews. Under various
nAmes our church has been in Stanton
EJECT for s~eventy-tve years. We have
not gone to the Jews. When we went
there Christians lived there. The Jews
caxpe to US. That is, our doors are open
and they come in. First they moved into
sour neishborhood there. Then they came
20 Christian services. We have clubs with
members Of $50, almost exclusively Russian
them we'll, Of course. We are going to
continue to treat well all jews and all other
people who come. II Jews go and Italians
come they will ave the same treatment"
10 was stated on behalf of the society
fhat after the improvements are made there
Will be no attempt to conceal the fact that
~ 10 a place of Christian work and worship.
There will be no double dealing. 1t will
DO a Christian neighborhood house and a
Christian chapel.
