Juror No. In the ODonnell -prill rase, now being heard ln Part XIII, Special Term, Supreme Court, before Justice Betts and a Jury, was arrested by Detectives Stransky and Cooney yesterday,- charged with offering to get a verdict from the jury for $1,000. Herbert I* Kamber, who said that he lived at No. 152 Henry- St.. alleged to be the man who conducted the negotiations, was arrested at the same time on a similar charge. Both were locked up at Police Headqiiarfars and will b« arraigned to day before JusL're Olmstead. who issued tha warrants. On Monday, November 14. three brothers, John, Anthony and Andrew, eons of the late Neal O'Donncll, assisted by a sister and a niece, both named Reberra O'Donnell, joined Issue in the Supreme Court to fret the rotate nt Neal O'Donnoll and his brother Hugh. The two brothers lived to be octogenarians at No. 202 i Henry-st. They aninssnd more than $1,000,000 in the cooperage business under the firm name of the H. & N. O'Donnell Cooperage Company. The ajred brothers made mutual wills, and Hugh's death preceded Neal's by about two weeks. After making: small bequests to relatives, the residue of th? estates was divided into 250 equal parts, of which Manhattan College, the De La Salle Institute nnd the Sacred Heart Academy were to receive twenty each, the remainder going to other institutions in smaller propor tions. Archbishop Corrigan received twenty sliarou Jo devote to the propagation of the Romw Cathoii,- faith. For years, it is said, the brothers had been spending more than $40,000 annually in charity. The contestants declare, that Neal was not competent to make a will at the time of his death. Rumors wer« rife in the county court house last week that one of the juries there was under suspicion. According to Assistant District Attorney Gans, in the middle of the week a man who fiaid he was Herbert L. Kamber went to the office of Thomas J. Bracken, an attorney for Andrew O'Donnell. and declared that he wished to retain Mr. Bracken in a matter in which he was In terested. He then told Andrew O'Donnell, Mr. \ Cans says, that the will case Jury could be "fixed." The meeting was arranged for Fr;day, and a Pink^rton detective named Mason was in troduced to Kamber as "Martin O'Donnell," of Michigan, one of the collateral relations who ; were furnishing the money for the prosecution of the suit. Mr. Gans says that "Martin O'Don- | r.ell" was to pay $1,000. The District At- : torney's office was informed of the trap, and it j was sprung under the supervision of Jerome's men. "Martin O'Donnell" demanded that he sco the juror who could be "fixed" and have a personal talk with him before he paid the money. The detective and Andrew O'Donnfll declare that they hired a room at the Fifth Avenue j Hotel, and that Kamber took into their presence ]>co Cohen. O'Donnell and the detective assert that Cohen said that he was sure that he could bring others of the jury over to his way of thinking, and that the Job .ould be completed for $].*hk'» i lie to settle with Kamber. "Martin O'Donnell" suggested another meet ing a; the Grand Union Hou-l yesterday. AH kt-pt th*- engagement, and watching were De tective-? Ktransky and Cooney. After a short conversation the detectives arrested Cohen and Kamber. ESCAPES, THEX DROWNS. Ttco Other Soldier Prisoners Picked Up by Boat and Get to Safety. Rowing hard against a heavy sea, driven by the northwest gale, three men crossing Butter milk Channel at 7 o'clock last night were in danger of drowning by swamping, or of having their frail boat smashed against the bulkhead of the Atlantic Dock. Their peril was seen by the passengers on the South Brooklyn ferryboat West Brooklyn, and by Captain Smedley. who was at the wheel in the pilot house. He ran hin boat to windward of the small rowboat. Two of the men in it caught the rope that was thrown them by a deckhand, but the third man, who had been "sculling" the boat, was drowned. The others were hauled on board, soaking wet and half drowned. They were sent to the Sreroom, where they were resuscitated and put to work shovelling coal. It was soon discovered that the men were two soldiers, escaping from the prison on Gov ernor's Island, for they wore their blue uni form with the big letter "P" (signifying pris oner) on the backs of their coats. When Cap tain Smedley heard this he blew a long blast of the steam whistle as the boat approached the Brooklyn slip a*. Thirty- ninth-st. Patrolman George Rogers, of the Forty-third Precinct, re sponded to the call, and made his way on board the boat as soon as she touched th« ferry bridge, only to find that the prisoners, who had changed clothes with some of the firemen, had escaped with the crowd that hurried ashore. Rogers re ported the case to Sergeant Hurlbert, at the Korty-thlrd-st. police station. At Governor's Island it was said that the en tire police force of New-York City were hunt ing for the escaped men. Their names are said to be John Doyle and William Danning. The name of the man who was drowned could not be learned. GOES 147 MILES IN 150 MINUTES. New-Yorker Make:. Run to Scranton on a Special Train to Reach Father's Bedside. Uontclair, N.

Where, a man w^ killed In ilf conflagration early yesterday morning. Cros s shows where body was found. KILLED IN FLUSHING FIRE ONE MAN, S HORSES, DEAD. Worst Since IS 72 — Entire Business IVE District Threatened. orst Since 1872— Entire Business District Threatened. One man and eight horses burned to death, three larga stables and a carriage factory en tirely destroyed, another large stable badly eked and half a dozen other buildings scorched, is the record in brief of a disastrous fire that visited Flushing parly yesterday morn ing and at one time threatened the entire busi ness section of the village. It was the worst lire in Flushing since 1872. The damage done is about $30,000. It is because of a defective telegraph fire alarm system that the fins got great headway. It broke out at 4:3"> a. m. in a frame stable in the rear of No. 72 Broadway, and occupied by L. Boyer & Sons, of No. 80 Water-st.. Man hattan. They run a freight steamer between Manhattan and Flushing, and used this stable for horses and trucks. The fire was discovered by Patrolman William Fountain. The nearest alarm box Is at Broad way and Main-st., about half a block away. Fountain pulled this, but it would not work. Then he ran to Box 85. at Linden-aye. and State-st.. two blocks distant. This. too. would not work. Then Fountain ran four blocks to Box 24. in Main-st., between Washington and Amity sts. This proved as useless as the others. In the mean time. Patrolman Armstrong had pulled Box 26, at Lawrence-st. and Broadway, but had no hotter results than Fountain. Then Sergeant Murray at the police station dispatched a messenger to the home of Charles Wilson, sexton of St. George's Parish Church, fully half a mile distance. He was roused from his bed, hurried to the church tower and tolled the church bell. Tho police records «no« £w*t twenty-live minutes elapsed from the time the fire was discovered until the alarm was sounded on this bell. In the mean time, however, the engineer of the newspaper train or. its way back from Whitestone saw the fire before the train left College Point and blew the locomotive whis tle all the way from that place to Flushing. Before the firemen succeeded in getting ef fective streams on the flames the stable of Boyer & Sons was entirely consumed, and the flames had communicated to the stable of Sam uel Jackson, a furniture dealer; to the carriage manufactory of Joseph B. Van Nostrand; to the stable of Henry McCreedy, a hackman; to the Flushing Hotel, to the large stables of Frederick C. Ayer, a liveryman, where there were over sixty horses, and to 'The Flushing Daily Times" building. In fact, the entire central part of the large block bounded by Broadway, North Prlnce st., Statist, and Farri:igton-st. was one blazing mass. All the police reserves were called out from the Seventy-sixth, Seventy-fifth and Seventy-fourth precincts; also, from the first and second sub precincts or the Seventy-sixth. Firemen arrived from Long Island City, from College Point and from Whitestone It was only by heroic work that the Flushing Hotel and "The Tines" building were saved. All the guests of the hotel hurried from their rooms in their night clothes and took refuge in the Fountain House, on the opposite side of tho park. Practically everything movable was taken from the newspaper building, piled in the street and guarded by police reserves. Both buildings are badly scorched, but are not dam aged to any extent. The storage warerooms of Samuel Jackson, at No. 68 Broadway, where thousands of dollars* worth of fine furniture is kept, were also on lire several times. By 6 o'clock the lire was practically out, and the large crowd which had gathered began to disperse. In the stable of Boyer & Sons investigators found the charred body of a man. It was later ascertained to be that of James, or "Spike" Hogan, a helper employed on one of the firm's trucks. Ilogan was much given to drinking, and it is believed that he went Into the stable while Intoxicated to remain for the night, smoking and that his cigar or pipe set fire to the stable after he was asleep. Hogan was about forty years old. He lived with an unmarried sister. Miss Katharine Hogan, at No. 100 Washington st. t Flushing. The total loss will probably be nearly $30,000 Later in the morning a horse that had been forgotten was found alive in a box stall in the rear of Ayr* stable. The stall was underneath the hay loft, and the water soaked hay had pro tected the horse from the heat, but that the ani mal escaped suffocation is considered remark able. TRIES TO PUT LETTER IN FIRE BOX. j Last of a Comedy of Errors Caused by a Closet Fire. Scores of persona living in. the Brunswick apart ment house, at Eighty-nlnth-st. and Marilson-ave., > became almost p&niestrJcken yesterday, following ! all kinds of alarms caused by a flre in a closet on \ the third floor, In addition to the firm alarm from j the box at ESghty-elghth-st ant * Madlson-ave., four ! •were unwittingly sounded for messengers, lndl- | eating that brrglars were in the building' or that i the police were wanted. After the firemen had left j the scene mi unknown man tried to drop a letter j in the Ore alarm box nt the Eighty-eighth-si cor ner, and a<?aln the firemen responded. Mrs. Lens Strause, in ■ third floor apartment. dropped a lighted match in a clothes closet and Ignited several garments. She ran ■creaming Into the ball, and soon the. building was In an uproar, many persona lustily snouting "Fire.:" When scores of tenants, many accompanied by visitors, | were clamoring to be lowered to the street on ele- j vators that were already crowded beyond their safe capacity, four polio* or burglar alarms were sounded from Individual boxen. When th firemen arrived tho fire, ha/1 be*»n extin- ; guished. Thirty minutes after th« lirst alarm from the box at ESghtj-elghth-st and Madlaon-ava., s i man walked dreamily up to the box. and, with a letter In his hand, fumbled with the lmndle. He then appeared surprised and sauntered away. THE PASSENGER LINK FOR CLEVELAND.
