Commissioner Owen ald he was op posed to this lnvestlgatlpn being held, lt the reason that he and Mr. Wahle h.rt nothing to do with the price paid for hot see. If two lnrge a price was paid for ash-cart horses by Brennan, the Comptroller Department should have dis covered the fact and not the t'ommls lloners of Accounts. With the people demanding a better Itreet-cleanlng service, and with no funds at hand for sweeping snow, It U of vast Importance to the public to know just what money has been wasted during the Brennan admlnlstrtlon. The "Evening World" In Its expose of "Big Tnm" Brennan's methods.

She Expects a Keconciliation with Kose's Brother. But Kuehne'a Slother Saya It It Impotalble Now. Mrs. Charles Coghlan, who for some weeks hus been a guest with her adopt ed daughter ut the residence of Hose Coghlan, the actress, 47 West Ninety Bixth street, made the statement to an "Evening World" reporter to-day that tt reconciliation would shortly be effected between her ai.d her BO tor husband. Mrs. Coghlan, who has persistently de nied herself to remriers since her ar rival In New York, was reluctant tu speak at first. "The marriage with Kuchne Heverldge was an Insane freuli on my husband's part, ' she said, "and 1 do nut think he knew hat he wus doing. 1 believe, In fact, I know, he regrets It now that he haa come to his senses. I have a most profound affection fur him any wife who hus lived with her husband twenty one years would naturally have such a feeling. "1 am willing to forgive him und every thing will come out light. You say 1 look particularly huppy this morning. Do you not consider that I have a right to look happy? 1 feei beter than I have blnce 1 arrived here." Her attention was called to a rumor that Charles Coghlan had i-alledun her and went on his knees begging her for tflvenesa. "I will neither deny nor alllrm that," she responded. "1 will say, however, that we have seen each other, and that ! everything will come out right between I my husbund and myself. 1 understand that Miss ileveredge Is not with my hus- band now at the hotel." Mrs. Coghlan certainly looked happy. While her face showed traces of her I recent sufferings, her eyes spiirkled and her manner waa light and gay. I At the Colonnade a different story was I told. Charles Coghlan and wife occupied suit 3. He wat confined to bed with the grip and was under the care of L)r. I I'eas, of the Hoffman House. il.iiMiiisN Vor Wrede, mother of Kuehne HevereJge, saw "The Eenlng World" reporter, and expressed mui-11 surprise at the Biatement made by Mrs. Coghlan. "How can there be a reconciliation?" she asked. "Who are to be reconciled? Mr. Coghlan Is here with his wife, iny daughter. They are husband and wife, no matter what his past haa been. I do not see how any question can arise as to the legality of the marriage, when such legal mlnda as Attorney-General Halley, or Indiana, and other equally aa promi nent, looked Into the matter ana gave an opinion that Mr. Coghlan was a single man. "Miss Thorn, or Mrs. Coghlan, as Bhe wishes to call herslf, came here eyester day and requested an interview with Mr. Coghlan. Kuehne, like a noble girl, felt sorry for her, and said Mrs. Coghlan could see him If she wished. Kuehne took her to his room. The Interview, 1 ! think, took place In the Doctor's pres- j ence. I do not know what was said. "I feef sorry for Miss Thorn, but think I she Is making a great mistake In thrust ing herself forward. I do not blame her so much though as I do Hose Cogh- . Ian and her husband, John T. Sullivan. I IVrhaps they want the advertising. I "It's amusing to think of a reconcllln- I tlon between Mr. Coghlan and Miss Thorn. Why. Kuehne coultl not bo torn i from him. Her heart and soul Is actunl- 1 ly wrapped up in him. It was a meet ing of two artistic hearts something that only occurs once In a thousand years.' The Haroness excused herself at this stage to go to Mr. Coghlan's room and ascertain If he wished to n-ake a state ment. She returned, and said he wished to say nothing on the subject. "of course, you appreciate," she sail, "this is 11 peculiarly delicate subject for me to speak. unrn. and 1 should much prefer that nothing at all be published, Tin- papers have said a great many harsh things about Charles. I do not blame , them, for they did not know all the facts. Neither he nor hlc wile has read the ! papers, They have been spared that I much pain, if he wished to speak for 1 publication he could make a statement that would clear everything up, and the public would understand then that he has been a much-abused man." -eavaaBBw SHERMAN ANTI-TRUST LAW. Attorftey-General Olney to Puab a Teat Cane In Supreme Court. tfly Aaaoclated Treaa.) WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. Regarding the Sherman untl-trust law, Attorney General Olney says In his report, made public to-day, that there has been, and probably still Is, a widespread Impres sion that the aim and effect of this stat ute are to prohibit and prevent those aggregations of capital which are so common at the present day. and which are sometimes on so large a scale as to practically conirol all the branches of an extensive industry. It would not he useful, even If It were possible, to ascrtaln the precise pur- poaea "f the framers of the statute. It ! is sufficient to point out what small I bnsls there Is for the popular Impression I referred tu. The report sas that. In view of the one comprehensive lodgment thus far given In a court, th- cases popularly supposed to DC covert-1 by the Matuto ar.- almost without exception obvloualy not within Us provisions, since to make th-m applicable, not in. rely mua.1 capi tal be brought together and applied In lnrge masses, but the accumulation must be made bv men is which impose 11 legal .Usability upon others frum en gaglnb In the same trade or Industry. Numerous suits under Ihe statute, how fver. huve already been brought -other? may le nd ll is manifest. Hi report says, that questions of such gravity, both in hemselves and In respect of the pe runlary Interests Involved, might not le r. st for their final determination upr the decision of a single Judge, howevei forcible and weighty. The Attorney-Gt-.orsl has therefore deein.-l It his dutv t 1 push fir Immedlal hearing a case involving these question" and iinlesa prevented by some untorseei obstacle, will endeavor to have It al vanced for argument at the present tern of the Supreme Court. DIED AT THlTvENDOIIE. f-aiiiu.il Hlrach Suddenly Expiree from Hemorrha.ro. Samuel Hlrsch, a commercial traveller, forty years old, died suddenly this morn ing about 9 30 o'clock at the Vendome Hotel from a hemorrhage. When he was attacked he rushed Into the room of another guest, vbe went for Dr. Henry, the Tiotel physlclun. Hlrsch died before tbe doctor reached htm mmmammmmmmmmmm NO CHECK.S AYS GOULD He Gave Mrs. Nicolaus Money to Get Her to Chicago. Knows Nothing of Her Suit and Hasn't Yet Been Served. Lawyer Howe Says the Q4OaO00 1 mli Was a Dullness Matter, The fifth floor of the Western Union building on Broadway, on which Is lo cated the office of Oeorge Guild, wus crowded this morning with newspaper men anxious to Interview him regarding Mrs. Zella Nlcolaus's suit against him to recover a Slu.uoo check which she claims he gave tier and then took buck. Mrs. Nicolaus Is said to be remark ably goo 1-looklng, and Is only a little over eighteen yearB old. She Is too young to bi Ing suit In her own name so I yesterday Lawyers Howe & Hummel presented an a petition to Judge Mc Adum In the Superior Court for the I appointment of a guurdlan to act for her. Albert Huhm 111 was Immediately ap pointed as such, but the greatest reticence I Is observed, not only aa lo the where abouts of the woman and the address of her newly appointed guardian, but as to the manner In which she came to , receive tne check. Mr. Ilumnn-1 said early this morning that he had a man at the depot In this city of the lersey Central Railroad, ready to serve Mr. Gould with the papers the moment he would urrive. I Mr. Gould, as a matter of fact, left his home at Lokewood at 8.30 o'clock this morning, but somehow- the process server missed him. This fact In Itself gave rise U a story that the millionaire 1 was for the time being trying lo avoid service. George Gould generally reaches his of fice In tile Western I'nlon Building at f 10 o'clock. The reporters who were on hand, however, waited In vain. Every fifteen minutes or so a clerk would come out and state that word had been re- , eelved fnat Mr. Gould would not arrive for Hit hour or so, or that he would I ap ear In a few minutes to give out the , statement which he promised last night, t was exactly 11! o'clock when Mr. 1 Sommervllle, Press Agent of the West ern Union, Invited the newspaper men up to his office on the floor above. He I said he had Just communicated with Mr. 1 Gould over the telephone, and he was I ready t- make a statement. I " do not know," he said, by way of preface, "where Mr. Gould Is at present. He called me up on the telephone, but I whether from Lakewood or Wall street. ; I do not know. Now this is what Mr. I Gould says- " "I know nothing of nny suit having been brought against me, such as Is men tioned in the morning papers. No legal papers of any kind have been served upon me. Should they be served, they I will be referred to my lawyers.' " 'I never gave this woman any check I for any amount. It Is evidently a ' scheme to extort money from me.' " 'The woman mentioned came to my office ah it a year ago, claiming to know many prominent people In Chica go, some of whom 1 am personally ac quainted with, and represented that she i was in destitute circumstances, and wanted to get back to her home.' I " 'I supplied her with the means of doing so. It seems that she did not go bnck to Chicago, but remained here, and calling at the office several times af- I terwarda I had to decline to see her.' ! "That." continued Mr. Sommervllle, "is all Mr. Qould had to sny, and It Is the only statement he has to make or will I make, whether the papers are served I upon him or not. Anything he may have to say afterwards will, of course, be only I upon the advice of his lawyers " 1 Mr. Somervllle said he thought that ex-.ludge Dillon would b? Mr. Gould's lawyer. The latter, however. Is at pres ent In the West. The press agent added that he knew nothing whatever ulmut tile woman bimsi If, nor had Mr. Gould Informed him where she llol at present He added that while talking over the telephone with Mr. Gould the latter said that when the girl first called upon him 1 she mentioned among others the names nf Mr. IMllman. of Chicago, and ex Muvor Hewitt of this city as knowing her well. , Mr. Hewitt was not at his oftlce when bi "Evening World" reporter tailed. Lawyer Howe, who had promised a i statement early In the morning, snld later that he would not b.- ready to give It out for publication until 3 o'clock this I afternoon. My that time he hoped to I have the papers served. ".Ml 1 have to say." he added, after I rending Mr. Gould's statement, "is that ' the woman tells the very opposite story, I Further than that, she has heaps of cor roborative testimony. "Will vou miv what the check was I obtained' for was It a business tmnsac- 1 tlon?" "Yes, It was a business transaction, he said, after a pause, "that was every- I thing." ACTOR WRIGHT ARRESTED. !

Husy New Yorkers do J not like to leave their business to attend ' as jurors thr nigh a long trial, and citl- : zens summoned are quick to catch on j I i the point- which might disqualify them for service. BUIling their coniclencea they i tell ol having acquirer a bias on what they havt rend oi of conscientious scruples against capital punishment which never troubled them before, or they plejtd lllneaa in family or one of a dozen uther things. William H Mutton, of 6 West Twenty ninth stre-'t; Robert A. Williamson, of 707 Hast One Hundred and Koity-tnlrd street, and John K. McAfee, of 4tt3 West Fortv-nlnth street, had conscientious scruples. Albert Oeutach, of 325 Hast Flfty-elKhli street; William Knepke. of 801 Lexington avenue; Huo Weules. of 1?7 Ea-c Sever ty-second street; Alfre.d H. Xrebher. rf 888 Kast Klghty-thlrd street, and Emanuel L, Spellman, of fi8 West Ons Hundred and Nlneteentn street, wre Insured in one or other of 1 the prosecuting Insurance companies. I They WCre excused. So were one or two others who had not imprcvc.l their long residence In New York In forgetting the lnngiiatvre of the lands of their birth and learning that of their adopted coun try. I Then came Henry SchwartzwaJder, manufacturer of casks, at 11 ;t West .Forty-second street, and living at 317 West Fifty-seventh street. ' Mr. Sthwartzw alder was a big man I physically, and In mind and heart ap parently. Ht- went through u searching ' examination without discovering any bias, scruple or danjreroua friendliness ! with any interested parly. ! Mr. Hrooke liked him. but the enigma whose life is at stake solemnly shook his colorless head, nnd the veteran law yer, obeying his client, challenged Mr. Schwartzwalder peremptorily. Fifteen of ( the thirty challenges for the defense were gone. John H. Hall, a provision dealer, liv ing at 41 Bradhurst avenue, passed through the Inquisition of the prosecutors un Lined. Mr. iruoke said promptly: i "We will accept this man Without a ' question." As promptly District-Attorney Ntcoll said: "Then we will challenge him peremp torily.' and Mr. Hall went bank to 1 trad hurst avenue, doubtless wondering why Mr. Brooke was ho easily satisfied with him an i why the prosecutor sus pected him after having onco expressed his contt nl with him. Tills was the fourteenth time the prosecution had exercised Its right to exclude a citizen fiotn the box without giving its reason for it. i Julius llosenberg, of 858 Baal Fiftieth Street, was the next to be examined I He, too, seemed to be a fair man. but Dr. Meyer a git In exercised his precious right of pertmptory challenge. At a little before noon Deputy Sheriff Murray entered the scene of the trial with two women. One was the blue eyed, smiling and prepossessing, though not prety, wife of Dr. Meyer. The other i was a woman whose strong resemblance I to Dr. Meyer was Immediately re . marked ! Dr. Meyer decuared that he had never seen tills woman before. She bad h fa co that would be useful to her if she sought to claim the nlation of sister tu t he 'Viilirii.H." Her laws were very hard ami square. with a heavy binge projecting under her large eyes. Her nose was prominent, humped at the bridge, narrow across the nostrils, i tiding in a point. Her yes were of the same peculiar blue-gray shade as thus.- of the doctor. Her hair, like his, was of the molassea candy order, and even after she became the object of tin scrutiny snd inquiry of all the court audience, her face preserved that same lmnn thill tv thai characterises hhn. and she was entirely unperturbed by her position. When Prosecutor Mclntyra visited iv' prls tm re' boxi where sue had seated her self beside Mrs. Meyer, "ti- woman re fused ti give uiv Information about her self mull t l i that She . lUld liol remain In the box unless he could account tor herself, Then she said she was "Mrs Manger."

ONLY ONE MAN WIS SHED I Turee Life-Saving OrewB Worked Bravely, bat in Vain. on Shore. j NO LIFE-BOAT COULD LIVE Signals of Distress Ceased as the Fated Men Were Washed Away. k (By Aaaoctatad Praia.) "'T-' PROVINCBTOWN, Mass., Dec. . In the howling gale of last night tha ship .las. m. Capt. McMillan, from Qreen- nck, bound for Hoston, went ashora near the Pamet River life station, and thirty-six lives were lost. All night long willing hands sought In vain to aid the ship's crew of thirty- seven, hut only one form came aahont I that contained life. I This morning, the sole survivor of tha ' night of horror hsd revived sufficiently to give his name as Samuel Evans. Three life-saving crews from tha 1 I'ainet River, Highland Light and Cav- hoon's Hollow nations, patrolled tha froxen atormbeaten beach all the long hours of the night, but every effort the ft 11" in men made to launch a boat met with failure. A blinding snowstorm prevented ao urate sight being taken of the wreck. and all effortB to shoot life lines ovtaT ihe vessel also met with failure. At first rockets shot up and signals of dli tress were displayed, but these soon ceased, as the lust of the fated crew were swept Into the sea and black night settled down, disturbed only by tha howling of tho gale and the flaring torches of the watchers upon the beach. It whs 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon whan the Jaron wis first sighted bear- j ing "P before the gal" under reefed sails, rnd It wtu only half an hour later when she wis seen to be drifting helplessly towards the shote. The gale had the ship fast In Ita pltl- lfss clasp, and all the watchers could do Hi to wat.-h and see her meet her doom, .lalf of Ihe time her decks wera awnth In the sea. and her crew could be seen clinging to the rigging. The ship struck at 7.30, and It waai icmc hours later when Evans's form washed ashore on a bit of wreckage. When daylight came this morning It was seen that the Jason had parted in the middle. Thus perished the hope that some sur vivors of the wreck might still remain on board. Not a plank, not a bit of her Iron hull was there visible which might afford a refuge to a clinging sailor. l-:.ans, the survivor, recalled tha na.ae of soma of those drowned, as fol lows: i'.int. McMillan, of Greenock; Klrst Mate Walker, of Falkirk: Second Mate Qalbralth, Boatswain Black, John Callahan, of f .rk; Mike Mulligan.
