AS GREENWICH
HOUSE is BURNED

Greenwich, Feb. 16-Heirlooms of
much value intrinsically were lost
when the home of Mrs. E. W. Russell,
in North street, three miles from the
borough centre, was burned during
last night. The house was built a
few years ago at a cost of more than
100000. 1t was of English design
and of stone and brick. The furnish
ings included many paintings. etch-
ings, tapestries, rugs, china and sill
verware which with jewelry and per-
sonal belongings, all of which were
lost, had an estimated value of more
than 100000. The heirlooms were
of the Russell family.
Mrs Russell had closed her home,
as Mr.. Russell is in Washington, and
recently she leased it to H. L. Stod-
dard of New York city, who had not
taken up occupancy. There was no
fire to heat the house and precaution
had been taken to protect the cleo
trio wire system. The origin of the
fire cannot be determined. This is
the third fire of large loss in the
town in recent months.
Mrs. Russell and her son, John r.
johnson have been at a hotel here.
There were employees on the estate,
which is SIS acres in extent, but they
knew nothing of the fire until the
Greenwich firemen arrived. The fire.
men saved outlying buildings and the
garage. The fire burned for three
hours.
The loss on the house and on much
of the contents is covered by insur'
ance.

GOES TO HOSPITAL
TO JOIN THE NAVY

An example of patriotism, typical of
the American youth, is given by Albert
Freeman, 10 years old, of Wilmot ave-
nue., an apprentice draughtsman at the
Remington-U. M. c. Company's plant.
Young Freeman applied for enlist
ment in the navy several weeks ago,
but was rejected because of 4 slight
abdominal rupture.
Unda1nted by this. the youth went
to a hospital and had the defect rem
edied by an operation. Today he
made his Temperance at the Naval
Recruiting station and stated his de-
sire to get into the service.
He was slightly weakened by. the
effects of the operation, but in spite
of this Young Freeman wanted to get
into a uniform today. The examining
officers instructed the youth to defer
his enlistment for two weeks so that
he might fully regain his health.

Negotiations with the firm of J. P
for the King of Spain, bilking of w
E. D. Stokes, the proprietor of the
Hotel Ansonia in New York out of
$500 for entertainment of the French
ambassador are all part of the tale
which has amazed the police and
populace of the metropolis.
When Miss Mayher heard that the
pseudo Marquis, chum of crowned
heads, diplomat and ambassador and
plenipotentiary extraordinary, had be-
come entangled in the meshes of the
law through alleged violation of the
espionage act and using the mails to
defraud, she hurried to the Tombs in
New York and offered to bail the
young man out. She expressed great
fondness for the accused Marquis
and even though his bonds were set at
$4,000 she would sacrifice anything
to get him out of trouble.
/ 1t will be remembered that when
Miss Mayher lived in Bridgeport she
resided with the family of William H.
Perry, at the Perry mansion at the
corner of Noble and East WASHINGTON
avenues. Mrs. Perry was Miss May
hers aunt and showered great atten-
ton upon her favorite neice.
When William H. Perry died, he
left Josephine Mayher 100000 be-
side considerable property among
which is the block of yellow brick
houses located between Harriet and
William streets.
Justice George w. Wheeler of the
Supreme Court and Judge Morris B.
Beardsley were the executors of the
Perry estate and after Ghey had set
tied the affairs of the deceased capi-
talist and had handed over 100000
to Josephine Mayher she took her de-
parture from Bridgeport and became
a resident of Manhattan. At the time
of her uncle's death Judge Carl Fos-
ter, of Ills Main street, was Miss
| Mayher's attorney. but beyond her
receiving rentals from her property
here, she did not keep up much in
tercourse with the large number of
friends which she had in this city.
| When she met Edmond Rousselot,
the alleged swindler, has not been re-
vealed, but from her actions since his
arrest it is evident that she became
infatuated with the Marquis
