Endeabored to Discover Identity of Parents and Obtained a Court Order to Show Cause Why He Might Not Examine Books of Institution. New York, July I8.- Henrv F. King, thirty vears old, entered the of- fice of the New York foundling asyl- am, vesterday and shot two sisters of charity, He then ran into the asylum grounds amd shot himself in the breast, inflicting a flesh wound. He was committed without bail for ex- amination Saturday. The injured sis- ters are meter Angelo, shot in the arm. and sister Cecelia, shot in the arm and side, neither fatally. Kine, who has frequently visited the foundling asylum is believed to he de- mented. He has suffered for some time, according to the police, from melan- choly. On May 7th, he was arrested in the institution vard after having at- tempted suicide with carbolic acid When arraigned he said he had vainly hegged the asviom anthorities to in form him about his birth, which re- fusal so enraged him that he did not know what he was doing. King came to the city in 1898 from Baltimore and commenced a search to discover the identity of his parents. Tn Jume, 1900; he obtained | an order from justice McAdam of the supreme court directing the authorities of the New York foundling asylum to show cause why they should not allow him to examine the books of the institu tion. He asserted that he had heen placed in the institution in 1871, when a baby, and subsequently in 1873, farmed out to Thomas R. Gardiner, of Bryantown, Md. with whose fami ly he remained until 1594, when he went to Baltimore. He claimed the books of the asylum would disclose the identity of his parents. The application for the writ was argued before justice O'Gorman, when | Jane C. McCrystal, the treasurer of the hospital since 1868, stated the re- cord of the books was "Henry J King, one day old; no name left with child. October 28th, 1871, 8.30 p.m." Justice ("Gorman denied King's ap- plication to see the books of the asy- lam. ee ee -- KISSED A BUTCHER. 0dd Ways Some Women Earned Money. Freehold, N.J., July 18 Kissing butchers is the latest scheme in rais- ing church aid funds. It was devised by Mis Mildred Dangler, a charming young woman, of twenty, who lives at Wayside, a hamlet near Freehold. A few nights ago a "dollar social' was held at the home of Miss Matilda Belshaw, at Wayside, for the benefit of the carpet fund of the Methodist church, and $36 was added to the cash in hand. . Some people turned in their dollars without any explanation a= to how they were earned, but others gave funny accounts of how they obtained the money. Edith Curran pressed a suit of dothes for Thaddeus Havens, and swept Mré. Haven's porches. Amelia White, Emma and Sadie Dangler, and Etta Graman said their money was given to thofn. Jennie Fary hulled strawberries. Mildred Dangler sold milk, bunched rhubarb, kissed Dewitt Dangler, the butcher, and allowed Charles Taylor to escort her home. Mrs, Wiliam F. Graman shampooed her. sister's huir, gave her baby niece a bath; sold Howers, and cleaned the church communion set Y Ina Dangler earned part of her money by turning around the horse and. carriagh Of her cousin Albert Wardell, without upsetting the wag- om " Mrs. Sidonia Fields made some of the money she turned in by sewing Mis Bertha Dangler got hers. by picking strawberries, and Henry Gra- man prepared a breakfast. -- NEARLY POSSIBLE SCORES.

William Gossage called at the Whig office today, and related the trow bles he bas passed through He is an Englishman, middle aged, and is ob jiged to use crutches as the result of an accident sustained while working for Davis & Sons, contractors, for the building of the canal ai Cardinal, four years ago. He states that a steam shovel dropped its load upon him, maiming him for life. He spent about three weeks in the Montreal general hospital, and says they turn- ed him out as incurable, He return ed to Canlinal, and the contractors, be alleges, promised him a couple, of thousand dollars, but never gave him anything. The town authorities bust- led him off to the Athens house of in- dustry, from which he ran away the latter part' of June. He has letters in his possession from Hutchison & Fisher, Brockville lawyers, whom engaged to recover damages for him from the contractors. The letters state that the best they could do was was to obtain a promise from the contractors to place $200 at his credit while he was in the house of industry. Mr. Gossage says that a Mr. Rich- ardson, of Brockville, now has the money. The injured man, however, will not touch it, because he believes he is entitled to $2,000 or £3,000, He declares he is not a pauper, and that he will not stay in the workhouse. Mr. Gossage also shows letters writ- ten by the contractors to his sister in England, in which they disclaim all responsibility for his accident. te A SCENE IN COURT. ---- Defendant Attempts to Choke and Strike Plaintiff. James Thompson and Malcolm Me- Dee were, at the police court this morning, charged with drunkenness. A plea of guilty was entered. Sentence Was reservea, John Delaney, on a charge of using grossf' infulting and blasphemous language on the street, was fined $10. and costs, with the option of going to jail for one month. The magistrate «aid that Delaney's record was not a desirable one, and he warned the voung man that if he ever again ap peared in court, he would be sent to a place where he would be well cared for for some years. Delaney is the young man who twice attackea a voung lady on the street a night or two ago. ' The adjourned case against Joseph Knott. charged with using insulting and threatening language towards J. D. Cummings, was again called. After hearing further evidence, the magis- trate fined Knott 85 and costs. Knott claimed that he had not re ceived justice, that he was being per- wentea and hounded. He became very violent, and, turning towards Cum- mings, the plaintiff in the case, he caught him by the throat and at- tempted to strike him, but was pre vented. Knott was taken in hand and locked up. After court had acl journed Knott was brought before the magis- trate and given g souna lecture upon the necessity of his keeping his temper curbed and living within the limits of the law. Served Time Here. Fred lee Rice, the unfortunate young man who suffered the death penalty at Toronto this morning for complicity in the murder of constable Bovd: upwards of a year ago, was an inmate of the Kingston penitentiary for about five months, prior to being placed on trial in Toronto on a charge of murder. He was confined in a separate apartment in the insane ward, and saw nobody during his term of imprisonmept, but the guard who watched over him. He won the good opinions of his jailers by his exemplary condyet, not causing the least anxiety or giving any trouble whatever. As to his past career he kept discreet silence, never mentioning anything that would throw any light upon his career, as a criminal or a law-abiding citizen. ------------ Bricklaying By Machinery. For about hali a century bricks have been made by machinery as well a® by hand, and now some one has invented a machine which, worked by two men and a lad, will lay 400 to 600 bricks per hour. Door and window spaces cause only a slight delay. The | machine is suited for all plain work, such as walls, sheds, mills, factories, | rows of cottages, piers of ridges, ete. (Considerable pressure is put on the bricks. and the work is more firmly done than by hand. The invention will do the work of six or seven skilled bricklayers, and a machine adaptea to build a factory about 60x40 feet could be put on the market for £500. The apparatus can be readily worked after | a fortnight's instruction. Thirty Boys For Camp.
