CALVARY RECORDS SEARCHED.
Health Authorities to Taka Aotlan
In the Matter Two Ordi
nances Violated.
William Cunningham, of iU East Six
tieth afreet, foreman of the laborers
employed on the annex of the Hotel
Bavoy, thinks he has identified at the
Morgue the body of his Infant child,
which Undertaker McCaddln, of 820
East Sixty-first street, says be buried
last Sunday a week In Calvary Ceme
tery. The baby boy was only eight hours
old at the time of Its death on July M
last. In fact, the parents had scarcely
had time to have the Infant baptised by
Rev. Father Rels. of the Cathollo
Church of Our Lady of Perpetual
Health, In East Slxtyrflrst street, when
It died.
A Mrs. McGlnty, who had been caring
for Mrs. Cunningham and the child,
railed In Undertaker UoCaddln, of 220
East Sixty-first street, and the latter
agreed to bury the body for 130.
Cunningham said he had no money
right then, but would pay that amount
is soon as he received his wages.
The undertaker consented, and It was
treed that the burial was to take place ,
in Calvary Cemetery.
Late last Saturday an infant's body
was taken to the Morgue by Under-'
taker McCaddln and left there, with a
certificate of death calling for the burial
of "John Callahan," of 224 East Sixtieth
street, who died of an Infantile com
plaint on July 28 last. The place of
burial marked on the certificate had
originally been "Calvary," but this
name was crossed out and the word
"City" substituted Instead.
There Is no doubt In the mind of Cun
ningham or of Morgue Keeper White
that this body Is the same one as that
which was given to the undertaker by i
Cunningham. The features of the body
are, however, so obliterated that the I
father was scarcely able to recognise
them.
The Board of Health officials say that
under no circumstances had McCaddln
ny right to retain a body In his estab-
Illihment since July 28, especially In view i
at the excessively hot days that inter-'
vened between that date and the time
fee took the body to the Morgue. For
this offense alone. If there be no other,
the undertaker is subject to penalty by '
Uw, I
One of the undertaker's assistants,
"htn questioned about the matter. In
'I'ted that the body of John Cunning
ham was buried more than a week ago
in Calvary Cemetery.
Cunningham says he is going to have
the records of Cavalry Cemetery searched,
and if u does not appear from them that
" child was burled there he will press
charges against the undertaker. It Is
AM Cunningham's theory that the under-
13 '(er held back the body until the 230
iqB would be paid, and that when he found
III 'hit ine money was not forthcoming
llM " caued the place of burial to be
'OH 'hn6ed from Cavalry and turned the
body over ta the Morgue to be burled

HER PLEA SAVED HIM.
Mrs. 8edgviok Sues for Pardon for
a Man Who Tried to Bob Her.
He Wat Out of Work and Hit
Family Starving.
Released by Recorder Smyth and
Employment Promised.
Although Bhakespeare says that "the
robbed that smiles steals something
from the thief," It is not often that the
robbed begs for mercy for the robber.
That was the situation, however, when
"Francis Boyle," a young fellow of
twenty-seven years, was arraigned be
fore Recorder Smyth, in Part I. of the
Court of General Sessions, this morning
to answer for grand larceny, second de
gree, and the pleader was a woman,
womanly, kindly, gentle hearted.
"Francis Boyle" made an unsuccess
ful attempt to snatch Mrs. Ida Sedg
wick's pocketbook, containing a small
watch and IS, while she was passing the
Boulevard and Seventy-third street, at
noon on July 17. His case reveals a sad
phase of the hard times.
When Assistant District-Attorney
O'Hare called "Boyle" to bar, to-day,
it was not to press blm to trial and
conviction for grand larceny, second
degree, but to join with Mrs. Bedgwlck
in asking mercy for him, more sinned
against by society than sinning.
With the Indictment and the sworn
complaint, Mr. O'Hare handed up to
the grave-faced Recorder, several other
documents, curious documents in a case
of this kind.
The largest and most Important one
was signed by Mrs. Bedgwlck. She had
investigated the case of "Boyle" and
had discovered that his real name was
Allan McLean, and that he lived In
wretched poverty with a young wife, a
babe and an aged father, at (42 West
Fifty-third street.
Mrs. Sedgwick says In her plea for
mercy:

The wan, little wife of McLean sat In
the box nursing the baby. Her cheeks
were sunken, her eyes hollow, her whole
1 aspect wretched ana anxious, while Jhon
Ford, lawyer, argued for clemency. The
lawyer's most eloquent argument con
sisted ot forty pawn tickets, represent
ing every article which the family could
pledge for the wherewithal to stave off
gaunt starvation.
John F. Redly, of the New York Life
Insurance Company, and Walter Ross,
ot Barrets, Palmer A Heal, 346 Canal
street, each wrote a letter of commenda
tion of McLean as an honest, upright.
Industrious man When he was given a
fair chance In the world. McLean had
been employed for long periods by each
of these concerns.
Prosecutor O'Hare recommended the
! dismissal of the Indictment, indorsing
I the paper as follows:
Tha dtttraea which Impelled this defendant to
' attempt tha commtaelon ot the crime charged
agalnat him, tha harrowing detUtutlon of hla
I family and tha abundant eTldenea ot hla previous

to a crime. The palliation la so extreme aa to
JusUfy the dlimlaaal of this Indictment.
I Mr. O'Hare was Joined In the recom
mendation by Harry Macdona, Acting
District-Attorney.
In discussing the Indictment Recorder
Smyth said:
"The District-Attorney says that your
condition and that of your family bor-
dered upon starvation, and that condi
tion was due to misfortune, not to
whiskey. The good woman whom you
tried to rob writes a long letter which
leads me to believe that you are an hon
est man."
While the Recorder spoke the fright
need little wife and mother could not
contain herself. She left her chair and
paced up and down the narrow enclosure
with her baby girl In her arms, and
when her husband was released she
rushed forward and fell Into his arms
and cried and laughed all at the same
time. And so they went away.

ment, and he was given Ood speed by a
dozen sympathetic strangers as he left

DIDTHE MEN ESCAPE?
Humor that Twenty Prisoners Got
Free from Blaokwell'u Island.
Said to Have Swam Across to
Aftcria,
Charities Commissioners Say They
Have No Confirmation of It
It was reported this morning that a
wholesale escape of prisoners from
Ulackwell's Island had been made
shortly before T o'clock, the prisoners
swimming safely to the Long Island
shore, and landing nt tho little cove
Just south of the Astoria ferry slip.
The story Is to the effect that between
fifteen and tnenty prisoners confined In
the workhouse left their quarters at 6.M
this morning in charge of six keepers.
They were assigned to work on the
Homoeopathic Hospital and the Insane
Asylum.
Taking up the march In line, they
proceeded along the eastern shore of
the Island, the guards falling In be
hind, as usual. The escape must have
been well planned, for each man in the
gang seems to have been watching his
opportunity.
When almost oposlte Astoria, near
the northern end of the Island, one ot
the men discovered that the attention
of the guards was withdrawn for an
Instant.
Immediately, It Is said, a signal was
given, and the whole gang rushed simul
taneously to the sea wall and plunged
overboard before the astonished keepers
knew what the movement meant.
The time was as well chosen aa was
the place where the dash for liberty was
made. It was Impossible for the guards
to summon aid at once, the nearest build
ing being many yards distant.
The keepers, i It Is said, did not succeed
In collecting their senses until the pris
oners were well on their way to the Long
Island shore.
No patrol rowboats are on either side
of the river before 7 o'clock In the morn
ing, and the escaping gang had no fear
of recapture through this means.
By the time the alarm had been given'
and a beat launched, all the swimmers
are said to have gained the shore and
disappeared. .
At the office of the Charities and Cor
rection Commissioners, Eleventh street
and Third avenue, the story was dis
credited, the official In charge explain
ing that. If an escape had occurred, he
would know of It Immediately, No sucrf
news had reached him.

On a Frospeotive Fortune Young
Parsons Lived Like a Lord.
Bearded, Drank and Borrowed
Money at Aug. F. Claussen's.
Insisted on Marrying Pretty Sadie
Dunn and Then Disappeared.
If any one sees a little blond fellow
with an Innocent, child-like countenance,
a light-blue Summer suit, ot which very
wide trousers Is the conspicuous gar
ment, the lsrgest white straw sailor hat
In the market worn on the back ot his
head, a cane and vtalk which Is described
like that ot a duck, he may know that
It Is Willie C. Parsons.
It the finder will take Willie around
to the saloon of Aug F. Claussen, at the
corner of One Hundred and Eighteenth
street and Eighth avenue, he will be
suitably rewarded and have the enjoy
ment of seeing Willie kicked through
the fan-light by Papa Claussen.
Willie Is "wanted" to settle for the
good time he has had at the expense of
Mr Claussen and many others In that
part of Harlem, and while Willie did not
do anything so far as discoverable that
was actually criminal, he played a game
of small rascality that deserves punish
ment. He turned up at Claussen's four weeks
ago, and took room and board with the
family. He was respectable-looking and
of good manners. He explained that he
was an American, born In Havana, where
an aunt had Just died and left him 220,
000, payable the next week, when he
would be twenty-one years old.
He told this with so much corroborative
detail and In such a refined, matter-of-fact
way tht It would have been bar
barous to have refused htm a small line
ot credit.
Claussen has, among other good things
of this world, two pretty and smart
grown daughters, Annie and May. They
are very light-hearted and merry young
girls, and they have a young friend Just
like them. Sadie Dunn, of Williamsburg.
Sadie comes over to see them once In a
while, and rooms with Annie overnight
on these visits.
Two nights after Willie's arrival, Sadie
waa over and with Annie and May and
rothex young people were having a good
' time In the 'True Blue Roam," a pretty
blue chamber behind the saloon, where
both ladles and "gents" may have a
bUet and a drop In seclusion. Willie came
Inland Instantly demanded an Introduc
tion to Sadie.
The courtesy wan granted, and after
a , rapid cross-examination he learned
tflht she was heart whole and fancy free,
and then declared his Intention to marry
Jhsr Just as soon as he got his Inheritance,
Which would likely be the next week.
Willie was always swift, direct and dra
ltlc In all bis methods.
Sadie kept coming over a little more
frequently and staying two and three
dayB at a time. She ''kind o' liked him,"
she said, and a fellow with 230,000 Isn't
always easy to get.
"That's Just the way Sadie looked at
It," said Miss Annie, in telling "The
Evening World" reporter about It this
morning. "It was a pretty good thing If
Willie was a little bit oft."
"Off!" ejaculated May, who came In
Just then. "You know he's plumb
'nutty.' "
"Now, May, maybe he's not so bad as
that. Some think so, while everybody
who saw him sold, he was 'mixed.'
'Mixed,' you know, is the polite way of
saying that a person's 'faking,' 'no good'
and that sort ot thing, and he was an
awful liar."
"He most surely could lie a lot. In
dorsed May. "But he was clever, too."
"Indeed, he was." assented Annie. "He
bragged around here that he could do
most anything under the sun, and we
tried to call him down. He said he could
play the violin, and we got one for him,
and he played It. He said he could rlne
a bicycle. We stuck him upon one and
he rode It. He said he could talk Chinee.
We took him down to a laundry, and he
had a long confab with the Chinaman."
"Oh, he was a bird!" chimed in Muy.
"He was desperately gone on Sadie,
and she liked him well enough, but she
laid the law down to him," resumed An
nie. "You bet she did," Interrupted May.
"She told him, 'You get the dough and
I'll marry you. No dough, no marry.
It's a plain case of If.' "
Some of Willie's amorous antics during
these halcyon days seem to bear out the
opinion ot the girls that he was not al
together responsible. He repeatedly
threatened to shoot himself.
The Claussen girls at these times
amused themselves by handing him an
old unlosded pistol and advising him to
go out and perform the happy despatch,
but not to die In the house. Once when
particularly wounded by Sadie's heart
lessnrss he sat down and drew up his
last will and testament, which he gave
to Claussen's son, Charley, Hera Is the
Instrument:
NEW YORK. July M. ..
I. William C Paraone. bequeath mr fortune to
s. Dunn, of IM Drlgge avenue, Williamsburg,
Brooklyn, otherwlee known aa my Intended wife.
WILLIAM C. PARSONS.
A. D.
Meanwhile he hung around Claussen's
saloon buying drinks for himself on
time and promising all the frequenters
of the place, who thought him a very ec
centric but open-hearted young fellow,
all sorts of good times when he got his
money.
The situation finally narrow down to
a point when he had to make some show
ot his financial boasts. Last Sunday
Sadie told him to get his money or sus
pend his suit. He left the house and
came back In an hour with a check for
t2i,000 drawn In a achool-boy hand, on
the Southern National Hank, payable to
himself, and signed with the name of
Jas. E. Hahn.
Willie explained that Halm was his
lawer and that was the check for his
Inheritance. It hai Ing coeit to.COO to set
tle the estate.
The wedding waa arranged for last
Tuesday evening, Aug, 2. Willie was
gaiety Itself and said that he would
take the Claussen boys and girls with
him on his bridal trip to the Ctaskllls,
Sadie was willing and made prepara
tions. It was to be a plain wedding In
travelling costume, followed by a little
aunper and mualo at Claussen's.
Thursday morning Willie handed his
precious check to Mr. Claussen for safe
keeping, and borrowed W. which com
pleted a total debt to the oil gentleman
of 7. Il went to the Hamilton Na
tional Hank and entered his signature
as a prospective depositor. Then he
railed upon Father Coogan, on One Hun
dred and Eighteenth streets and got his
promise to perform the ceremony, lie
went to a neighboring restaurant and
ordered a dinner. He hired a band of

three pieces, and then disappeared.
That Is the last the Claussen or any
body else, who will report on the matter,
have seen of Willie.
A stupid situation Itself for the musi
cians and the restaurant people that
night, but old man Claussen only
I laughed. As for Badle she went of! to
bed with Annie, remarking only:
"I knew that fellow was a liar and, a
lunatic from the beginning."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The Demo
cratic tariff couferrecs were In session
again to-day at 11 o'clock and resumed
the mjrk of trying to reach an agree-
' ment on the points of difference. When
some of the members of the Committee
came out of the conference room ut 12
o'clock they stated that no perceptible
progress had been made, and that to all
'appearances the situation was the same
'as It had been for the past week.
Secretary Carllslo haa recently been
called Into frequent consultation by In
dividual members of the conference,
and he was called on Saturday night by
a sub-committee of the conference. He
inado certain suggestions concerning
the administrative features of some of
the proposed compromise features, and
It In understood that slnco these sugges
tions were received, the conference has
been considering their bearing upon the
questions at Issue. The coal and Iron
questions have been taken up, with a
view to reaching an understanding upon
them, but progress has been slow.
It is understood thnt the Senate con
ferred! have Indicated a willingness to
make a concession 'n the way of time
that the duty shall continue, but not to
lessen lhe amount of duty provided In
either case. The House members have
not Indicated a disposition to accept

morning In the big event ot the regstt
ot the Royal London Yacht Club. A bet- jfl

the weather was what the experts "'fwVB

The course was around the Isle of.WlgtC v
s'tartlnc eastward, once around to miki'JtB
A total distance or about 'fifty-five rnUesC,' :?
A superb marine spectacle was .J pre. '4$fl
asnttd. There were nearly three hua-'fjiM
dred yachts of al! sizes ahd descriptions ZU
lying In the Roads, making a .perfect ,.9
forest of masts all ablaze wlth'color ,M
when. In response to a signal from (he 'il
Royal Yacht Squadron Castle, nearly ijH
every craft afloat "dressed ship' with, sM
multi-color flags, rainbow fashion, frets! 'z?M
stem to stern. -:
The American yachts Atalanta, White 'M
Ladye, May and other boats flying (he- fM
Stars and Stripes, were all similarly .
beflagged, the c'.ean, white hulls of several 'M
of the steam-yachts giving additional M
eclat to the scene, while along the e'o- 9
plsnade many ensigns were flying frons '-M
tall flagposts and the balconies of most 'hm
ot the houses, covered with red cloth,.
were crowded with fashionable people, '."9
The sole topics of conversation prevl-
ous to the start were Vlgilant's plo- ?jU

Immediately after crossing the line aa 9
exciting and pretty contest occurred M
between Britannia and Vigilant The VM
former was holding the windward posl- 'M

But the Prince of Wales's cutter lea- 'jj
mediately luffed up and held Vigilant. ,;
For a time, consequently, both yachts 19
made little forward progress. 5 Bfl
Satanita, in the meantime, rapidly ,W
forged ahead, and an Idea directly struck .
all the spectators that Britannia's ma. v9
neouvre In holding Vigilant was tho r-1
suit of a tacit agreement between tfre M
two British captains to work In unison, tl
so that the winner of the cup wouW) ,l
be a British vessel, this being a day ot . M

but a small chance of winning. Tlwrw-Ttfll
