PAINE MUST QUIT
POLICE Determined TO
CLOSE PLACE.
Stock Tipster Not in ofice This Morning
and stenographer Doesn't Know
What He'll Do.

J. Overton Paine, whose tipping bu-
reau" was the methods of which Cap
tain Carroll, of the detective bureau,
did not like. wasn't in his Market street
Office this morning. Those in charge
said that he was expected at the office
about noon.
Whether or not the proprietor or
operator of the bureau was out gath
ering valuable information about tho
stock market for his customers is not
known. At least the stenographer did
not know, she said. She did not know,
either, whether the Office was open for
business. All she knew, she said, was
that Paine was not in and had not
been in up to that time today.
Paine threatened several suits
against different persons and papers
in connection with the order received
by him to quit business. Detective
Sergeant Tuite says that Paines busi-
ness is not legal and he will have to
discontinue it. The detective sergeant
has enough evidence at hand, he says,
to drive Paine out of business IL he
persists in continuing his business.
1.-The stock market tipster claims
that he will not give up his office, but
the police do not take him seriously, y
said Tuite.

MADE EN- TURN PALE
FASHIONABLE SECTION HAS
A SCARE.
In Alarm Diners Jump to Feet as Houses
ouiver-Cause of It ALI Is
Explained.

| Residents in the vicinity of De Graw
and Verona avenues. select neigh
borhood in the Forest Hill section of
the city, had a scare on Thursday night
when a double-pipe cannon, weighing
at least ten pounds, was set off by
means of fifteen foot pole In clump
of bushes next to the home of DR..
Greenville Weeks. at 900 De Graw ave-
nue.. As the thing exploded two men
were seen to run away In the direction
of the Orange branch of the Green
wood Lake division of the Erie Rail
road and disappear.
Dr. Weeks, DIR. Helnlinger and c.
Lockwood Smith, who live across the
street, called up the Second Precinct
police station and asked that several
policemen be sent to the spot. In a
half hour when none appeared, the
three men visited the Second Precinct
station, carrying with them the cam
non and the stick used as a torch to
light 1t. They showed them to Ser
geant Ebert. No report was made OF
the incident to Captain Brown. COM
mander of that precinct, for when
questioned today he said he knew moth
ing of the affair. If such a thing did
happen, he said, he would investigate
1t and also find out why 1t was not re-
ported to him.
The exploding of the cannon occur
ran from their homes terribly fright
ened. SO terrific was the explosion.
Dishes on the tables, for several fam
lilies were at dinner at the time, were
shaken, and the diners were almost
thrown from their chairs.
None of the residents have any idea that
any harm was intended, but 1t is thought
it was done to frighten the people living
in that section to hire a night watchman,
for only two days ago a man visited all
the homes In that neighborhood seeking
employment as a watchman. He even
went so far as to tell those whom he
visited that DR.. Weeks and others had
recommended him to them. The man
failed to get any one of the residents to
employ him.
The cannon and the long stick are now in
the possession of DIR. Weeks, who intends
to keep them for further evidence. The
cannon is of crude construction. A small
gas pipe is placed inside larger one and
lead fills up the space between. It will
hold a good heavy charge, as was evil
denced by the terrific noise 1t made when
1t was discharged.

can on the back of the stove. In a
few minutes the can exploded with a
loud report.
Mrs. Simon tried to extinguish the
flames, and in doing so her clothing
caught fire.
Shouting for help she rushed into
the yard, and several neighbors went
to her assistance and did what they
could to smother the flames.
Catherine Fox a daughter of the owner
of the house, was the first person to meet
the woman In the yard. She took several
rugs that were hanging on a clothesline
and tried to extingush the flames. and
partly succeeded when another neighbor,
John O'Neill got an oilslSin coat and
wrapped 1t around the woman, who was
suffering torture.
nj the meantime an alarm was turned in
from box $50, Bowery and Chapel streets.
which brought several engines and a
truck and also the Third Precinct patrol
wagon with Policemen Scanlon, Dunn and
Snslow. Scanlon and Saslow put the
woman in the patrol and drove as fast as
possible to St. James's oHspital, where
everything possible was done to save the
woman's life.
The victims husband. Alphonse Simon,
who was at the Sherwin- Williams paint
factory, was informed o fthe accident by
his S-year-old son, who was playing in
the street at the time his mother ran out
In the yard, screaming, ablaze, Simon
hurried to the hospital, but when he
realized there is was only to find that his
wife was in such a precarious condition
that 1t was not deemed advisable to alolw
him to see her.
1t is believed that the woman inhaled
some Of the flames.
The FIRE did about $25 damages, and was

KILLING THAT
WAS NOT
MURDER
Took a Coroner'S Jury Only
a Minute and a Half TO
Reach That Conclusion.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE coroner's
jury in the case of Mrs. Madeline Wass-
ner Langlotz took only one and half
minutes yesterday afternoon to decide
that she was not murderess.
I'VE fnd," the jury reported, "that
Mrs. Gustav Wassner came to her
death from bullet wounds inflicted by
a pistol in the hands of Gustav Wass-
ner, and we find that Gustav Wassner
came to his death from a bullet wound
from a pistol in the hands of an un-
known person."
"That means, gentlemen" said Cor
oner Hamburger, 'that this prisoner is
discharged. Young woman, you may
CO."
The young woman staggered to her
feet and through her tears murmured,
'I thank you
The foreman of the jury asked the
coroner not to adjourn court immedi-
ately, as the jury had another matter
to attend to before Mrs. Langlotz left.
1t was arranged swiftly. The Jurors
took up collection and a good-sized
sum was handed to the young widow.
The discharge of Mrs. Langlotz, who
had killed her father after he had shot
her mother in their home at 2058 Third
avenue on Thursday, followed dramatic
scenes in the coroners court. After
the young woman had told her story
on the stand every member of the jury
wept
1t was a story of fathers bru-
tality and a family's misery for years,
as it could be told only by one who
had suffered. A 12-year-old girl, Annie
Wassner had told on the stand how
her father had wronged her when she
was years old.
In taking the stand to tell of the
shooting, Mrs. Langlotz said that in
the excitement of the day before she
had been unable to tell all that had
happened. She never intended to shoot
her father, she said. although he de-
served 1t for the way he had treated
his family.
She told her story In straightforward
way. So thorough was her explanation
that Assistant District-Attorney Symonds
didn't cross-examine her. She described
how she and her mother and sister had
moved from. place to place every month
in order to get away from the wrath of
her father. She told OF how Wassner had
beat her and her mother and tied them
with rope and locked them up in the
cellar OF their home In Germany years ago.
Mrs. Wassner almost died in a hospital
at one time because Wassner had kicked
her after an operation for a tumor.
On one occasion. Mrs Langlotz told the
jury, 1t was necessary to dress her mother
in mans clothing and carry her over the
roof of their home in Eighty-seventh street
to escape Wassner. who had sworn to kill
his wife. The family had lived in dread OF
Wassner and they had to put heavy locks
on the doors ever since he went away two
years ago. to return only to kick and cuff
them.

Spectacular Blaze Spreads
From Cork Factory to
Coffee Stores.
POLICE RESCUE WOMEN
Wanted to Jump, but Are Taken
Out in Safety..Big Msrning
Rush Hour Crewd on Way
to New Ysrk See Fire
on the Waterfront.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.--One of the
most spectacular fires that New York
has had in years broke out today in
four big dock warehouses in Brooklyn,
just in time to make an early morn
ing spectacle for the hurrying Brook
lynites on their way to Manhattan.
The location of the fire, just below
the Fulton Ferry, was such that 1t was
in plain sight of everyone on the
Brooklyn Bridge and the lower East
River ferries. Like all waterfront fires,
1t made an interesting and appalling
sight. Great volumes of black smoke
rose high in the air, and tongues of
flame shooting from the windows and
through the roofs of the building
threw lurid glory on the scene.
The fire was discovered on the top
flor of the four-story brick factory oc-
oupied by the J. H. Paddock Cork
at 500 a. m.
The building was entirely destroyed
and the los is estimated at $250,0OO

Manufacturing Compnay's establish
ment at so and 81 Columbia Heights,
and also to 4S Columbia Heights, owned
and occupied by Miss Agnes o'Neill
and her sister, Kate, a two-story frame
residence. Agnes O'Neill is a paralytic,
and Sergeant Carety, with two other
policemen, carried the two women out
of the house in a semi-conscious condi-
ton.
Captain Bermotell, who occupied a
room on the top floor of the house, was
overcome by smoke, and carried out by
the same officers.
Helen Madden and her sister Agnes,
of 1888 Bridge street, employed in the
cork works, tainted and were carried
out of the building by the firemen.
There was panic among the 200
girls employed in the cork works and
the De Haven factory, but all got out
in safety.
The fire also reached the New York
and Baltimore Coffee Company's plant
at 81 Furman street and to the Mas
sau Coffee Company's establishment at
SO Furman street. About 10000 bags or
coffee were burned.
There were four alarms and a score
of engines and three fireboats turned
out.
