WST SIDE EVENTS.
History of an Unfortunate Family
called by the Arrest of Ooe
of Its Members.
Re-
Eighteen years ago the family of
Thomas Williams lived on the West
Bide. Now. it Is broken up by deaths
and the misfortune of the members, and
it9 interesting history was recalled on
Saturday morning when Maggie Wil
liams, one of the children, was arrested
and lodged In the West Side station
house on a charge of vagrancy.
This Maggie Williams was the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wll-
Hams. The family formerly lived on
" North Hyde Park avenue, but suddenly
a blight fell over the home and the then
growing Hyde Park was startled with
some peculiar huppenings. The parents
indirectly accused a West Side young
man. who Is now living, of the betrayal
of the daughter. The case was aired
for a time, but nothing in the way of
prosecution was done.
A few weeks after the birth of the
child the body of Thomas Williams was
found In the Mount Pleasant ravine.
When the discovery was made the
corpse was yet warm and life was not
quite extinct Bruises about the head
and chest showed foul play, and this
theory was enforced by the actions of
the almost lifeless man. who muttered
a few times and then died. People who
were near him when he breathed the
last aver that Williams said that he
could Identify his assailant if he could
again see him. He mentioned no names,
however.
The consternation that the death of
Williams created is still remembered by
the older residents of the West Side.
"He was surely mrdercd," said an old
timer, .as he rehearsed the case to a
Tribune reporter yesterday; Williams
had his enemies and it Is a crying shame
that nothing was done to ferret out his
assailant. But the matter was dropped."
Another incident Is told of in connection
With the tragedy. When Williams left
his home he did so nt the command of
his wife, who had quarreled with him.
She told him to go were he had been
to a saloon and he never returned.
Left without a supporting head, the
widow and her daughter Maggie, whose
child was still living, removed from
Hyde Park avenue to North Main ave
nue, where they opened a candy store in
the old four-block house opposite to
where Clarke Bros.' stores now are.
This four-block house was afterward
torn down and the lot Is now vacant.
It was while keeping this candy Btore
that another fatal accident happened.
Maggie Williams' child, a boy, was six
years old when, one day, he fell Into a
well and was drowned.
Soon after this the girl went to Taylor
to live and afterward made a trip to the
west. Her mother followed her and
died out there. While In the west, Mag
gie married a man named Patrick Sheri
dan and six years ago while Sheridan
was working in the coal mines at
Streeter, III., he had his hand crushed
by a "fall" and his right arm was ampu
tated below the elbow.
After this accident Sheridan and his
wife became tramps.. On Friday they
reached Hyde Park, which Maggie had
not once seen since Bhe left for the west
eighteen years ago. They had been
here but a few hours when Oflicer Saul
arrested them in the Scranton street
section. In police court they were dis
charged. The woman Is not altogether
bad looking, but she shows the effects A
a hard life.
HIS DIMENSIONS.
In the police station aturday morn
ing was another prisoner with a his
tory. He is Wlllinm Lewis and he
calls himself "Little Billo." His
height Is 48 inches, his face Is bearded,
his age is 4ii years, his weight Is 93
pounnds, and one of his legs Is wood
en. He says he killed someone "in the
old country" but is "as happy as the
day."' Three cents In his pocket was
all his wealth and he bought candy
with that.

TO DEFEAT BRYAN.
Gee. Chat. Tracer Doesn't Think the
Third Ticket Will Hart McKinley.
Albany, SepL 6.-!National Commit'
teeman Charles Tracey was at the AI
bany headquarters of the sound money
democrats in the Degraaf building to
day. He returned from Indianapolis
last night. He spoke In very enthusias
tic terms of the prospects of the gold
Democrats, who propose to defeat
Bryan.
"At Indianapolis," he said, "we re
ceived the newa of the Vermont election
with great pleasure, because It realized
our expectation that the Democrats of
the Green Mountain state would hold
fast to the principles of their party. The
result in Vermont belles the assertion
that the farmers. Irrespective of party,
are for free silver coinage. The farm
era of Vermont have had as hard times
as any In the country, and only a short
time ago the .question of abandoned
farms was a serious one. If the Ver
mont farmers believed free silver coin
age would have helped them they would
have voted for the Democratic candl
dates In the state election. The talk
that no effort was made to carry Ver
mont Is nonsense. The Democratic dele.
gates from that state to our convention
at Indianapolis reported that Vermont
was flooded with free silver literature,
bearing the frank of Senator Faulkner,
the chairman of the silver congressional
campaign committee. I hear that In
Maine the Republican candidate for
governor is weak, and the Democrats
have a strong man up. Mark my words,
the vote in Maine will be as significant
as that In Vermont. I do not think our
third ticket In November will interfere
with McKlnley's vote In either Vermont
or Maine. There were Democrats who
stayed at home and others who voted
for Candidate Jackson, who will vote
for Palmer and Buckner In November.
The purpose of our Indianapolis con
vention in adopting a platform and
naming candidates was to preserve the
principles of the party. My personal
opinion is that McKinley will be aided
and not Injured by it. The Republicans
are standing just where they have been.
for protection and sound money, and It
will be difficult to take their votes over
to the Bryan camp. On the other hand,
many Democrats will see In the Indian
apolis platform and candidates what
they have heretofore looked upon as
sound Democracy, and will And it easy
to resist following Mr. Bryan in the
abandonment of the old party. These
Democrats would never go all the way
over to McKinley, but' will come half
way to vote for our candidates and the
preservation of the faith."
General Tracey said he learned at In
dianapolis from various New York and
other delegates that the Democratic de
fection is steadily growing. Tammany
is divided, and any plurality McKinley
may get in this state would not sur
prise him, even if it went over 200,000 or
300,000. Indiana was reported as safe
for McKinley, by at least 20,000, and
Illinois was claimed by some sound
money delegates for the Republicans by
60,000 plurality. Others thought the
vote would be close. Iowa was now
deemed safe for McKinley.' The hardest
light would be in Minnesota and Illinois.
It was a matter of continual surprise,
General Tracey said, to the delegates at
Indianapolis why Senator Hill did not
come out against Bryan and silver.
After his speech at Chicago in opposi
tion to the platform, they could not
understand his hesitation.
VICTIM OF HIS OWN DEVICE.
John Clement Shot by a Gun Trap
Net to Shoot Hoy s in the Leg.
New York, Sept. 6. Mr. John Clem
ent, superintendent of the brass works
of the Manhattan Elevated road of this
city, lives at 85 Galataun avenue, As
toria. The grounds about his hom are
devoted to grape raising, and there are
few finer arbors in the county.. Boys
stole In nt night, robbed the vines, and
broke the arbors down. Mr. Clement re
monstrated. It did no good.
Mr. Clement constructed a gun trap.
It was hidden in the grass. A person
stepping on a small board would cause
the weapon to explode. It was aimed in
such a manner as to hit Its victim
in the calf of the leg. Friday evening
Mr. Clement strolled out umong his
arbors to enjoy his after-dinner cigar.
He sat in a summer house for an hour
or more then he started for the house.
As he passed under the arbors he put
bis foot on the board.
There was an explosion, and Mr.
Clement lay on the ground. The bullet
had entered the calf of the leg and
served an artery. Mr. Clement called
once or twice, but nobody In the house
heard him. He tore a tough wig from
a grape vine and bound it tightly to his
leg, Just above the wound, stopping
the flow of blood. Again Mr. Clement
called, and this time his cries were
heard. Servants bore him into the
house.. Dr. Charles H. McDonald, of the
St. John's Hospital staff extracted the
bullet. Mr. Clement is In no danger.
BUNCOED A BICYCLE CLERK.
A Newark Girl's Glib Talk Convinced
Him, but She la Arrested.
New York, Sept. 6. A nineteen-year-
old girl, who is said to be a professional
bicycle thief, was a prisoner In Police
Justice Potts's court in Jersey City yes
terday morning. She gave her name nnd
address as Rose Woznlck, 206 Onden
street, Newark. On Wednesday last the
young woman called at Smith & Ro
malne's bicycle store, at Erie and
Fourth streets, Jersey City, and looked
over the stock. She told the clerk that
she wanted to buy a good wheel. From
the glib way in which she discoursed
about sprockets and tires and chains
and other appointments of a bicycle, the
clerk was convinced that she was an
expert. When she suggested to the clerk
that she would like to take one of the
wheels out and try It before making a
purchase, the clerk did not ask for
the customary deposit. She told the
clerk that her name was Underhlll and
that she lived on Henderson street. .
The clerk began to get a little bit
worried when several hours had passed
and "Miss Underbill" had not returned.
He sent around to the address in
Henderson street and learned that no
such person lived there. The police were
notified and the young woman was ar
rested in Newark. She was Identified
yesterday by the clerk and was com
mitted to await the action of the Grand
jury. '

MARKETS AND STOCKS
Wall Street Review
New York. Sept. 6. Stocks at the
opening were generally a shade lower
on the failure of Londou to respond to
cur strong closing of yesterday and on
rumors that the bank statement would
make a very unfavorable showing. The
weakness did not last long, however,
and In the closing hour the market was
strong with an advancing tendency,
Local bears held oft for & time when
the bank statement referred to was bet
ter than generally expected, the loss in
surplus reserve being only 1607.650.. In
the upward movement near the close
the Grangers, Manhattan and Great
Eastern were most prominent.
The Improvement In prices In the late
trading was equal to HS-Vi per cent.
with Great Eastern the special feature
with sales up to 2SV4. Speculation closed
firm with the active stocks generally
to 1 per cent, above Friday's final rig-
urea. Total sales were 100,141 shares.
