SOHO HOSPITAL
HEAD EXPLAINS
DELAY IN OPENING
Lack Of Furniture Responsible
for Failure to Receive Patients
in isolation Institution.

In a long communication presented
to the joint conference between the
board of managers of the Isolation
] -ospital at Soho and the finance and
building committee Of the Board of
Freeholders, DIR. j. M. Synnott, head of
the institution. has replied 10 the criti-
cism he said had been made by several
freeholders because the hospital was
not yet ready for business. III,
DR.. Synnott said that the managers
were unable to receive patients because
the buildings had not yet been COM
pletely furnished. AS soon as this was
done, he added. everything would be in
readiness to receive cases of scarlet
fever and diphtheria, the only diseases
for which provision had been made.
The board of managers, he stated. had
considered the question of receiving
cases of tuberculosis. and a report on
this phase would be presented at some
future time.
DR.. Synnott urged THE need Of addi-
tional buildings, one for smallpox
patients, and made the point that as
Newark was about to destroy it's isola-
ton buildings 1t was. 'up to- the free
holders to look out for structures to
replace them. 1t was estimated that
the cost of additions would be about
$4,000.
The need Of furniture for the ad-
ministration' building was also said to
be. Imperative, and, County Counsel Ell

When the balloon had risen fifty feet

tinued to breathe he was hurried to the

he would recover. CODY suffered from
an injured spine and internal hurts.
The lion, being dazed by its fall ana
tangled in the wreckage of the para
chutes, was captured easily and forced

PRIEST WHO SAVED
CHURCH BY PRAYER DEAD.
Father Brophy Started Sections
First Catholic Congregation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-Tlle bell of
the Church Of Our Lady of Solace, in
Mermaid avenue, Coney Island. tolled
thirty-nina times yesterday and gave
the first intimation to the members of
the parish that their pastor. the Rev.
DR.. Joseph T.. Brophy, was dead.
Within a few minutes after the bell
carried the message, nearly 1000 mem
bers of the congregation. most rf
whom are Italians, had gathered to
pray for the repose of the soul of their
beloved pastor. More than one of
them repeated the story of Father
Brophy's prayers on the occasion of
the disastrous fire that almost wiped
out Coney Island eight years ago. just
after he went there as a young priest
to establish the first Catholic church
in the resort section of Coney Island.
Father Brophy had taken q dance
hall and had transformed 1t into q
church, in which he had built UP in
q few months a large congregation
which include most of the Catholic
amusement vendors there. On the
night of h fire, when the flames,
driven by a heavy wind from the
ocean. had swept most of the south
side Of Surf avenue and were threaten
ing the north side and the building
containing Father Brophy's church. he
knelt In the middle Of Surf avenue and
prayed that the wind change it's course.
Within q short time the wind swung
erourd to the north and carried the
names back over the district already
devastated.
