MISSING I'M BEER FLOOD.
1 1000 Gallons of Fluid Plunge Through
Floors of Flanagan, Nay & Co.'s
Plant-Five Seriously Hurt.

NEW YORK, Jan. Sin a lake of
beer Thomas Fleming, a steel worker,
was killed, two men are missing and
five others were seriously injured yes
terday as two floors of the three-story
brew house of the Flanagan, Nay &
Co. brewery, on Tenth avenue, col
lapsed. 1t is believed that the collapse
was caused either by improper snoring
or the explosion of ammonia pipes.
The building was undergoing repairs,
and eight men were working inside the
structure when the floors collapsed.
Six watts, each containing 1000 gallons
of beer, plunged through the floors with
a roar, swapping the ammonia pipes
and filing the air with fumes.
The fire department was called and
the fremen waded into the cellar near
ly up to their waist in ammonia and
beer. Fleming was found crushed I'M
der a heavy girder. One by zone the
workmen were extricated, though FIVE
were found to be seriously hurt. Two
workmen could not be found, and they
are believed to be under the debris.

TWELVE EAT $50 OYSTERS.
Guests of General Manager of the Balti-
more Construction Company.

A barrel, or, to be more exact, just
ESQ oysters (blue points, at that, were
dispatched asst night by twelve New
ark business men at a Southern oys-
ter stag held at the residence of Fred
orick Wright, So Lincoln avenue.
Seventy-four oysters per man may
seem a large number to the average
person, but when they are prepared by
a connoisseur and served with all the
solid and liquid trimmings" essential
to complete a Southern oyster stag"
it is a different thing. and those who
enjoyed the hospitality of Mr.. Wright
win tell you there is a way to eat
oysters and a method by which seven
dozen of them can be eaten with relish
and enjoyment without fear of any
serious aftermath.
Mr.. Wright is general manager of
the Baltimore Construction Company,
which is erecting a number of build
ings in the Belleville section, and the
gathering last night vas the fult1lment
of a promise made to those present
some time ago.
Mr.. Wright ever furnished an en-
tertainment for his guests that was
novel, insomuch that he made them be
the entertainers. Nearly everyone
present took a hand In the entertain
ment. and a most enjoyable time re-
suited. Those present were William

PROHIBITION IN SOUTH
BROUGHT ON BY WRISKEY.
Brewer Says Habit Became a Curse,
Running the Youth and Demon
alizing the Negro.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-"The South un-
doubtedly has %overdone the whiskey habit.
It was this, and not religious hysteria or
moral awakening, that caused Georgia TO
adopt prohibition. The State realized that
the drink habit had become a curse.
women had tremendous influence in the
fight for prohibition. They saw theiI
young men, from 10 to 70 years OF age,
following the example of their elders, and
throwing whiskey Into themselves. ano
they determined that 1t must stop. There
is much justification for the prohibition
movement.
''Then, again, the South wanted to take
whiskey away from the negro, in the hope
that he would not commit the dastardly
crimes that he is many times guilty of,
and it decided that to get whiskey away
from the negro 1t would AVE to prohibit
its sale entirely. But prohibition will not
prohibit"
This view of the prohibition movement
In the South was expressed yesterday, not
by a churchman or a temperance advo-
cate, but by Assistant Secretary Mona
han, of the United States Brewers Asso-
citation.
prohibition cannot kill the drinking
habit" declared Mr.. Monahan.
What do you think of the chances Of
introducing prohibition in New York;
Mr.. Monahan was asked.
"There are none. This is a liberal, cos
mopolitan community. The A~nti-Salooi
League will never be able to make a VII
lage OF this CITY,"

WOMAN TAKES POISON
FOR HEADACHE REMEDY.
Mistake in Confusing Tablets, One
Harmless and Other Deadly, Near
Costs Her Life.

TRENTON, Jan. s.-Mrs. Mary Ro-
beco, of 900 Whitaker avenue, had a
narrow escape from death yesterday
when she toow a bichloride of mercury
tablet in mistake for a tablet for a
headache.
Mrs. Robeco had been complaining for
some time about her health and went to
a drug store a few days ago and told
the druggist hat she had a violent
headache. She was given some tablets
which were to be taken every time she
had a similar attack. Previous to her
Illness she had purchased some bichlo-
ride of mercury tablets to be used as an
a~ntiseptic.
Both tablets were IN the same shell
and both were of the same color. When
she sought the headache remedy, in her
hurry, she did not pay much attention
and took a seven inc one-half grain
mercury tablet, which was powerful
enough to cause several deaths. She
placed the tablet in a glass of water
and swallowed 1t. In a few minutes
she was taken Ill and began to suffer
violent pains in the abdomen.

SUES STEPMOTHER'S
SISTER; Is NON-SUITED.
Mrs. Fitzgerald Claimed to Have Turned
Over Pay, but Was Ignored
in Will.

A non=suit was allowed by Judge Heis-
ley in the Supreme Court Circuit late
yesterday afternoon in an action brought
by Mrs. Catherine Fitzgerald against Mrs.
Mary Ebert to recover $1,000 for services
alleged to a been rendered to the
latter by the former.
Mrs. Ebert is a sister of Mrs. Winifred
Godfrey, deceased, who was the step
mother of the plaintiff. The deceased,
after an unfortunate marital experience,
had taken the plaintiff into her family and
the money earned by the plaintiff. so
it was testified, had for many years been
turned over to the stepmother. Besides
this the plaintiff claimed she had nursed
her stepmother for a long time until her
death in November, 1903, and the latter.
so she testifed-had promised to remem-
Der her in her will. This was not done,
however. and the sister, the defendant,
got the estate.
The court said that the plaintiff. while
she evidently had turned her money over
to her stepmother faithfully, had proven
no agreement and had not shown services
rendered.

WITNESS ACCUSED
HELD IN PLACE OF DEFEND
ANT FOR ARSON.
Wife of Latter Told of Conversation She
Heard and Farmland Is Then Con-
fined in Jail in Mt. Holly.

MT. HOLLY, Jan. DIFFERENTIATION
of the authorities to convict the guilty
one led to an interesting turn of affairs
yesterday in the case involving the
burning of Horace Roberts's barns in
Mt. Laurel township on December 30,
causing a loss of over $4,000. A greater
part of the day Prosecutor Atkinson
was trying to convict Arthur House,
one of Mr.. Roberts's farmhands, but
the State failed to prove its case, the
jury having returned with a verdict of
acquittal. The taking of testimony,
however, showed that House was not
the last man in the barn before the
fire was discovered, as Charles Brown,
another farmland. was in he build
ing when House left.
House was suspected because Mr..
Roberts had some words with him over
the disappearance of a Ratchet and
some other matters about the farm.
Moreover, Brown had told his en-
ployer that House had made covert
threats.
After the outcome of the trial was
carefully considered, it was decided
that some person employed on the
farm had started the fire. Mrs. House,
wife of the defendant, declared that
she was in conversation with her hus-
band and Brown on the day of the
fire, and it was the latter and not
House who made the threat against
Mr.. Roberts's property. She was posi-
tive that Brown showed the greatest
ill-feeling over the accusation made by
Mr.. Roberts.
Then it was remembered by Prose-
cutor Atkinson that Brown stated he
became quite angry when House told
him of the Ratchet experience, and
there was nothing in evidence to con-
tradict the statement made by Mrs.
House, which practically switched the
whole Ease upon Brown. At once Off
GERS were summoned and Brown, who
had figured as the most important wit
ness in trying to convict House, was
Il nded in Jail. The serious charge now
rests on his shoulders.
