WITH SUM- He
IS STABBED
SchOOlboy Dying as Re-
suit Of Classmates Anger
Over Refusal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-JoJseph Bro
gan 9 years old, an orphan, who boards
at 40 Grand street, williamsburg. is in
a dangerous condition in the Eastern
District Hospital and expected to die
today from a stab wound in the left
breast inflicted by John Curry, 10 years
old, in a classroom of the parochial
school of SIS. Peter and Paul, at Berry
and South Second streets, Williams
burg, yesterday. Curry, whose home is
at so South Second street, is a prisoner
at the Children's Society rooms,
charged with felonious assault. y
Brogan says Curry asked him to help
him out in an example in arithmetic,
and because he refused to do so Curry
stabbed him. There were twenty-five
boys in the class, of which Miss May
Tierney is the teacher. Brogan fell to
the floor, and as he lay bleeding Miss
Tierney had all she could do to keep
the excited boys in the room. But she
succeeded in doing so, also in sending
one of them to call the j%anitor, Hugh
Lorraine. The janitor picked up Bro
gan and carried him to the Eastern
District Hospital. Meantime Curry had
escaped from Miss Tierney and gone
home. There detectives of the Bedford
avenue police station arrested him.

SMALL WAlF TELLS SAD
STORY OF MISFORTUNE.
Homeless for Months, Sleeping in Sheds
and Streets, with Seldom
Enough to Eat.

A badly dressed boy, less than 10
years old, who bore every mark of
hardship, was picked UP last night
while apparently trying to find a place
on the granite porch OF the City Hall
to spend the night. He was made COM
Portable and was taken to the First
Precinct, where he was provided for
for the night. His story is being in
vestigated by superintendent John A.
Cullen, of the Catholic Children's Aid
Society.
Michael f. Towey found the lad ear
ly in the night. Towey is night watch
man. He took the child up to the city
clerks office, where Night Clerk John
C~avanaugh lent a hand in meeting the
emergency. They sent out and bought
him a good lunch, n wrapped him
in an old sweater found in the room.
He told a sad story. He stated that
his father died, and his mother sur
vived only a few months. He was left
without friends or relatives, and for a
long time had to sleep in sheds or on
porches. His God was such as he
found on the streets or was handed to
him by kindly natured strangers. He
couldn't recall the last night he had
enough to eat.

stimulants after operations, instead of
alcoholics, at the Frances Willard
Hospital. The alcohol rundown has
been done away with, salt being
used as a substitute. The latest medi-
