ASKS B|G DAMAGES
 FROM HIS COUSIN
Astonishing Revelations Are
 Promised In Suit
MAN IS SUING A WOMAN
Candidate for the Priesthood Alleges That His Friendship For His Beautiful Cousin Was
 Betrayed By Her.

New York, December 14.-(SpeciaD-Ap- plicaton has been made to Justice Keogh in the supreme court of Westchester county for an order to examine as witness before trial the Rev James B. Goggan, assistant rector of Holy Trim ity church. This application reveals a remarkable suit by which Frank Drugan, former member of tke Jesuit brotherhood, asks $10o,000 damages from his cousin, Mrs. Emily F. Dunphy, alleging assault. The testimony of the Rev. Father Goggan Is desired only because he has been the pastor of the family of Mrs Dunphy and is familiar with some events subsequent to the alleged trial. Many prominent persons, lay and clerical, are involved in the complaint in the application, which was served on the defendant two months ago with allegations more extraordinary than anything in the Thaw trial
 Mrs Dunphy, through her attorneys, entered a denial. Mrs. Dunphy Is the wife of John James Dunphy, formerly a wealthy Gold street leather merchant, who failed in 1905. She is woman of ex- traordinary beauty. She Is the daughter of Thomas H. Barrett, who was deprived of his office as steamboat inspector by President Roosevelt because of his con- nection with the Slocum disaster, but who is a respected resident of Yonkers.
 Mrs. Dunphy now lives separated from her husband at the handsome home of her father in Hillcrest avenue, Yonkers. She was educated at St. Vincents aca- demy and has been prominent in social circles ever since girlhood On account of her beauty, her friends say, she had many offers of marriage before she be- came the wife of John James Dunphy. They lived at No. 8 West End avenue. This was in 1903 After MT. Dunphy $ failure, some IS months later, she return ed to her fathers home for the reason, 1t was said, that her husband could no longer support her in the luxury she de- manded. A divorce was not obtained be- cause of the fact that both were mem bers of the Catholic church.
 It was about this time that her friend ship with her cousin. young Mr. Drugan. then Jesuit student in good standing and a professor in St. Francis Xavier college grew into the alleged infatuatlon, which, according to the papers in this case. led to the withdrawal of his can ddacy for the priesthood.

FIERCE BLOW IN NEW YORK.
Property Is Damaged Several Hun
 dred Thousand Dollars.

New York, December H.-Lashed by the fierce blow of heavy northeaster, New York is in the wintry clutches of storm of wind, hall and rain, which completely swept the whole Atlantic coast from Hat teras to Maine, hampered transportation. demorallzed lines of communication With the outside world and threatened all ships under sail steam that sought to make ports in the teeth of the 60-mie gale. Down off Sandy Hook the bark Edmund Phinney went to pieces on the sandy shores after her skipper and crew had been rescued in the brooches buoy.
 Eleven transatlantic steamships, due in thls port today, were still unreported at Sandy Hook at 10 o'clock tonight, though no apprehension is felt for their safety Six coastwise steamships that set sail to- day for southern ports turned back from the pitching and bounding seas that met them at the harbor gateway and anchored in the shelter of Sandy Hook bay.
 The powerful blasts snapped off 20 feet of the 30o-foot brick chimney of the New York Steam Heating company on Sutton Place. In this city, and sent 1t toppn6 upon a wooden shack in which watch man. David Dooley, was standing. The man was instantly killed. Several tons of brick and mortar fell upon the house of Henry Speitel and crushed through the entire structure. seriously injuring Mrs. Lena Spetel and her two daughters. Two other houses adjoining were damaged.
 In another part of the town an un- known man was killed by a falling flag pole.
 The storm center, which started in the Mississippi valley, sweryed eastward and swept up the Atlantic coast. From the northeast came a fierce gale, driving heavy clouds of rain and cutting sleet fol- lowed The rain turned to snow and then to rain again. but the wind boomed steadily along at 60 miles The rain hung to telephone and telegraph lines and froze. the weighted wires cracked and snapped. while the blasts toppled over scores Of poles. M
 Both telegraph companies had much dif- nculty in even partially restoring com munication in any direction. Westward from New York communication by wire was almost impossible A single wire to Boston was all that remained tonight or the scores of telegraph trunk Ines through New England. North. south and west there was much interruption from sleet and wind, but New England seems to have been the worst sufferer. Railroad traffic suffered much. delay and surface and elevated lines in New York had diff ficulty in maintaining any sort or ser vice.

 TURNS TURTLE Thomas N Lawson Is Lost With Neary All the Grew THROWN UPON JAGGED ROCKS Captain of the Vessel and Only Two of His Crew Are Saved From the Sea--shlp Met Storms All Way Across.
THROWN UPON JAGGED ROCKS

Hughtown. December 14.-After sue- cessfully riding a succession of gales, which she encountered all the way across the Atlantic, in which she lost all her lifeboats, the American schooner Thomas w. Lawson was capsized in Broad Sound, Scilly Islands, where the captain shell tered from the fierce storm raging along the English coast last night Of the crew of IS, including Pilot Hicks, who boarded the vessel from the lfesavers boat during the night, only three were rescued. These were Capt G. W. Dow of Melrose Mass, Edward L. Rowe, the engineer. of Wiscassa, Me, and George Allen of Braford, Eng.
 The schooner left Philadelphia Novem- Der 19, for London, with a cargo of oil. She had hard battle with the seas all the way across and when she en- tered the Broad Sound her captain, knowning the dangers of the coast threw out his anchors. Later, in answer to his signals of distress, the lifesavers put out two lifeboats and found the Lawson anchored in a dangerous position near the rocks. The seas were running high and the gale was increasing when the lifesavers found that their efforts at res- cue were useless. One of the boats re- turned for a tug and the other was com- pelled to put back to shore because of the exhausted condition of the men, During their absence the Thomas W. Lawson turned turtle. w. Allen, one of the res- cued men, is not expected to live, while Captain Dow is suffering from a frac- tured arm. His rescue was effected only through the almost superhuman efforts of the 1ifesavers and the gallantry of Frederick Hicks, the son of Pilot Hicks, who accompanied them on their second trip in the hope of finding his father
 Late this afternoon, after long search, Captain Dow and Engineer Rowe were taken alive from the Helwether rocks, to which they had clung for upwards of 10 hours, the tremendous waves preventing them from making a landing Young Hicks plunged into the boiling seas and swan ashore, carrying a lifeline by means of which Allen and the captain were hauled back to the boat, with the engineer, who was badly injured. After assisting Captain Dow, Hicks was able to reach the boat unaided, but the ef- fort exhausted him and the lifesavers ordered him to remain quiet tonight. Cap tain Dow told the lifesavers that when ne found his vessel was doomed he, the engineer and pilot lashed themselves to the mizzen rigging. When the masts fell the captain and the pilot managed to get clear They jumped to the deck but were washed overheard, being carried by the current to the rocks, where they were found. Pilot Hicks, however, seemed to become entangled in the rigging.

THE CHANGE.

The clouds were all tumbled and
ragged.
And the morning was laden with
rain;
A little boy knelt at the easement
With his nose f1attened out on the
pane;
The drops trickled down on the win
And the tears on his cheeks ran a
race;
Oh, he was so sad! The day was so
bad
That somehow it showed in his face.
He cried and he fretted and scolded
Till the little dog went from his side
Afraid, and the little white kitten
Crept into the closet to hide,
And the little tin soldiers were stand
Way up in the attic alone,
For the little boy knew of nothing to
do,
But kneel at the window and moan.
The clouds journeyed on Ger the
heavens
Till a little light streak of the sky
Shone into his eyes, till they bright
ened,
And the tears on his face were all
dry;
Then the glad sun burst out like
blossom,
And smile spread all over his face;
When the sky was all blue, his, happi-
ness grew
Till joy was all over the place
The dog wagged his tail, and was
merry,
And the kitten came down through
the hall;
She purred, as he stroked her, and told
her:
THE day is all right, after ALL"
And the little tin soldiers were march
ing
Until they were tired of the drill.
And a sleepy-eyed boy, with a heart
full of Joy,
Climbed into his bed and was still.
