ALBANY. Oct. l5.--The increase in idle

in the allied metal trades was big during

according to the bulletin just issued from

the increase in idleness was greater than

LOOKING FOR AN AMBILANCE.
Two Men Arrested, One Of whom said He
Didn't Know Ills Unconscious Brother.

The attention Of Detectives Sylvester
and Brierson OF the Flatbish precinct in
Brooklyn was attracted early yesterday
morning by the actions OF two men.
They seemed anxious to get away, but
unwilling TO attra ct attention by nnseemly
haste. Sylvester asked them where they
we're going.
After an ambulance" one Of the men
answered after a pause, and attempted
to brush by.
Wait a minute" Sylvester suggested.
-we'll help you find one. What's the
trouble. anyway"
The trouble wac that man had been
knocked down with club and at that
moment was lying on the west side Of
Kingston avenue near Maple street with
"A fractured skull and four gashes in his
leg. The detectives insisted on more de-
tails. 30 the two men walked back from
Albany avenue and Clarkson street.
where they had been intercepted. to the
place where the wounded man lay.
Up to that time the detectives were
wondering whether they had prevented
a burglary. They now began to suspect
that they had stumbled upon a murder

they made haste to a telephone. intent on
calling an ambulance. after which they
informed the men that they we're under
arrest.
Al the station house the prisoners said
they we're Thomas Farrell, 80 years old.
and George Kane. 81. Farrell lives at
Malbone street md Brooklyn avenue. and
Kane lives in Montgomery street. near
Rogers avenue. But that was all the
prisoners could tell the police. They
said they didn't know how the injured
man had got hurt. They had just STUN
bled across him and had hurried away for
an ambulance.
II was found that the man in the hos
pital was Thomas Farreli's brother. John
Farrell. 90 years old. Thomas Farrell s
failure to recognize John seemed so pecu-
liar to the police that Farrell and Kane
were locked up and later arraigned in the
Flatbush court on suspicion of having
committed the assault. Kane was sent
I o the island for six months on vagrancy
charge and Farrell was held in bail Of
81 900 for further examination.
Because Of the unconscious condition
oflthe wounded man. who is in the Kings
County Hospital, the detectives were un-
able to work up their assault theory and
got the Magistrate to hold the prisoners
on other charges instead. An operation
was performed on John Farrell yesterday
and II is believed that he will recover.

this morning to try to get $500 900 which
he sa vs. was left by an aunt. Mrs. Bridget
Clark, widow Of a mere hant who died
childless seven years ago. Capt. Ormond's

telling him that his sister had bequeathed
her fortune { o him. He paid no attention
to the notifications. declaring that he
would have nothing to do with the money
/ his sister had inherited from her husband.
II was not until after the death Of his
mother recently that Capt Ormond was
! told that his father was the heir Of Mrs.
Clark. and he decided that he would make
claim on the estate OF his aunt just as
soon as he got to America in the leisurely
course of his journeyings in tramp
| steamship.
The Reigate ran into typhoon OF the
north end OF the island Of Luzon and for
four days her skipper wondered whether
he would ever be able to get any nearer
to Chicago than Davy Jones's locker.
The ship was within two miles Of shore
at one time when the blast was not less
than eighty miles and it required all the
steam the freighter could get up to work
her OF shore. In atroubled nap that Capt.
Ormond was forced TO take while the seas
were breaking over the ship he dreamed
that his father was beck oning him toward
Anne rica.
He says he has not the remotest idea
what has become of the estate of his aunt,
but that he 'underst ood from his mot her
that Mrs. Clark's husband had no near
relatives and that he believes he is the
legitimate heir to the estate IL 1t is true
that Mrs Clark bequeathed it 10 his father,
as his mother told him and as papers left
by his fat her indicate.
Capt Ormond will make an effort to
find the postmaster who notified his
father and the lawyer who attended TO
Mrs Clarks affairs. He believes that it
will not take him more than day or so
to find out definitely what his rights in the
matter are and he will return to New York
and keep on tramping. leaving the settle
ment of the case in the hands of lawyer
