Second street, that borough, visited his brother yesterday afternoon at

purchase an engagement ring for his sweetheart. He told his mother he
had just won the hand of a young woman who had money and he wanted to
buy a handsome engagement ring. This was news to his mother and
brother and the latter put MASON off until to-day.
MASON became downcast because he did not get the money, and going to a
front room got pen and ink. He hurriedly wrote a letter and when it
was finished went out and mailed it. Returning to the house he
dictated to his niece a letter directing his brother Charles to visit
Manhattan to-day and collect $10 due the writer for wages.
A few minutes later a pistol shot was heard and MASON was found lying
on the bedroom floor dead from a bullet wound to the right temple.

KILLED HERSELF WHEN SISTER DIED.
Aged Woman Couldn't Bear to Live After Lifelong Companion Had Gone.
SHE MADE SURE OF DEATH.
Papers Found Indicate They Were Well-to Do.
Despondent because of the death of her sister, and tiring of life after
her lifelong companion had passed away, Miss ELINA FRANCORT committed
suicide early to-day by inhaling gas. This is the explanation given by
the police, who were called on to investigate the deaths of the two
elderly women, whose bodies were found in their apartments in a
boarding house at 133 East Eighteenth street.
The body of Miss CLARA FRANCORT was lying in bed where she apparently
had died of asthma. Sitting in a rocking chair by the window of the
room with a rubber tube, which had been attached to an open gas burner,
in her mouth, reposed the body of the other sister.
The woman had made careful preparations to insure death. A cloth
bandage had been tied about her head to hold the tube in her mouth.
The two sisters, both of whom were 76 years old, had lived at the
boarding house for the past six months. Little was known about them,
as they had kept to themselves the greater part of the time.
Miss CLARA FRANCORT had suffered for some time with asthma, and had
been treated by Dr. THEABOLD, of 234 East Twelfth street. The
condition of her body, as found this morning, indicated that she had
died of asthma.
It is believed that Miss ELINA was too deeply grieved over the loss of
her sister and companion to care to live longer and took her own life.
She was last seen alive about 1 o'clock this morning when she was
noticed walking up and down the corridor in front of her rooms. Papers
found in the effects of the two women show that they had received
payments from the estate of MATILDA C. WEIT, of Atlantic City. There
were two cashed checks showing that they had received $6,640 and $2,485
on different dates last year. They had been living in retirement for

NOCQUET'S WILL FOUND ON HIS BODY
Daring Aeronaut Who Perished While Help Was Near Left All to Mother
LURED TO DOOM BY LIGHTS
Friends Go With Baymen to Spot Where He Died.
AMITYVILLE, April 5.---The body of PAUL NOCQUET, the unfortunate
aeronaut, who was found dead on Cott Island last night, was brought to
Amityville this morning and taken to the undertaking establishment of
A.W. WHITE, where Coroner SAVAGE will hold an inquest to-morrow. Those
who had charge of the removal of the body were Capt. GEORGE SMITH, who
found the dead sculptor; ELMER DAVIS, ALANSON HOFF and FREDERICK B.
POWELL.
In an inside pocket of NOCQUET's undercoat was found a letter of four
pages, in which he tells what disposition he desired to be made of his
property in the event of his death. The date line of the letter reads
"New York City, April 1906," the day of the month being omitted. The
letter is as follows:
"My name is PAUL NOCQUET; my address 55 East Fifty-ninth street; my
profession is sculptor. In case of death send for my good friend
GUTSON BORGLUM, Esq., sculptor, who lives at 166 East Thirty-eighth
street, New York. He certainly will be so kind as to write to my
brother-in-law, ALBERT VANDERKINDERE, 91 Rue des Palais, Brussels,
Belgium, who will take all care possible to tell it to my beloved
mother, who lives in Belgium. Her address is Mme. NOCQUET, [ ] Place
Communals, 5 Uccles Brabant, Belgium.
"Everything that belongs to me is for my mother, or, in case of her
death, to my sister, BERTHA NOCQUET, who lived with her. If M.BORGLUM
can do it he can make a auction of my works, bronze, terra cotta,
plaster, which are in my studio or stored in JAMES LEOB's stable, 153
East Thirty-eighth street, opposite BORGLUM's studio.
"My beloved friend, RAOUL MERCIER, 54 Rue Richer, Paris, can keep for
him and until his death all the works he has from me; paintings which
were stored at his home when I came to America. After his death they
might go to my sister, BERTHA NOCQUET.
"My money is deposited in the Madison Avenue Branch of the Mechanics'
and Traders' Bank, Fifty-ninth street, New York. This can be taken
from there by my friend, GUTZON BORGLUM. I do not care for my
sculpture. I only want it to remain in America. I took my first
papers of American citizen and intended to remain in America, a United
States citizen, and consider that I am an American.
[signed] "PAUL NOCQUET"
On the back of the letter are several names with telephone number
opposite them, but they are so badly blurred as to be undecipherable.
Dr. J.P. THOMAS, D.M. MARTIN, F. LUDLOW and STEWART ACKERSON, all
members of the Aero Club, who came here yesterday, were to-day taken to
Cott Island by Capt. SMITH, who will point out the spot where the body
was found.
When found NOCQUET lay face down on a mud flat. NOCQUET, who ascended
from the Bronx in a balloon on Tuesday afternoon, intending to sail to
Philadelphia, had landed his balloon safely at a point on Jones' Beach
two miles from where the body was found. Safety would have been his
had he remained with the balloon for a couple of hours, for the
lifesaving patrol would surely have found him. Safety likewise would
have been his had he allowed his gas to escape or used his parachute
when he hung in a calm in the afternoon 150 feet over Garden City and
shouted to some school boys that he had lost his anchor. Because of
these conditions, the death of the daring French balloonist, it is
conceded, is as peculiarly unfortunate as it was tragic.
"He was mad. Fright made him insane," declared Count DE FAULX to-day.
And this theory is finding favor.
Driven down Long Island by adverse winds, NOCQUET was observed passing
from Jamaica to Hempstead at the rate of forty miles an hour.
Somewhere further down the island, it would seem, he lost his anchor in
a tree. He appeared over Garden City 350 feet in the air. Suddenly
the wind ceased, and he fell to within 150 feet of the earth. While
shouting to the schoolboys the wind suddenly rose and drove him higher
in a flash. His voice died away, and in the gathering dusk he was
driven down the island out of sight and evidently out to sea.
Only the beached balloon and the silent body tell the rest of the
story, and its only redeeming feature is that in his death NOCQUET
indicated his theory that no matter if a balloonist be carried out to
sea he will find a breeze to bring him back to land. About 9 o'clock
at night baymen heard a voice shouting for help over the water in the
darkness. They could not locate the cries. Evidently shortly
afterward the lost balloonist struck the sands.
Four miles away twinkled the lights of Amityville. In the night they
looked scarcely half that distance off. So say the baymen. Anyhow,
they lured the lone Frenchman to his death.
In the dark and in the treacherous mud he struggled and swam, evidently
for hours, from the Atlantic swept strip of sand known as Jones' Beach
towards the beckoning lights. That he won two miles of the desperate
journey has astonished the hardy baymen. A score of so-called islands,
mostly mud flats and quicksands, lay between him and his goal. At
every step on the "islands" he must have sank knee deep in the mud.
The intervening chilly creeks he swam. The lights recede as one
approached; so say the baymen. The battle evidently was getting
heartbreaking, a mile from the balloon. Here the lone venturer cast
off some of his clothing but retained a life belt that was round his
body. Then he resumed his course until overcome by sheer exhaustion,
he fell forward too......[end of article cut off].

GIRL ACTRESS FIGHTS OFF DEATH TILL FATHER COMES.
Catherine Ramona McCARTHY, the 11-year-old actress who appeared with
success in "Buster Brown," won her wish to see her father before she
died by fighting with death for three hours. "Oh, papa, I was waiting
for you so long," the girl said as her father came into her room at
his home at 155 Smith street yesterday. Those were her last words.
Besided playing in "Buster Brown", Catherine had appeared in Hearts
Adrift" and "Little Mother," and was one of the best known children on
the stage. She was taken from the stage a short time ago by her
parents so that she might obtain an education. She became a pupil of

sidewalk and was stunned, but rallied and said she did not feel hurt.
At 4 o'clock yesterday she developed alarming symptoms and sank rapidly.
The doctor said that Catherine kept herself alive till her father came
by sheer will power, repeatedly asking if he had come yet. Mrs.
McCARTHY is known to the stage as Mona DIAZ and is now in Ottawa, Ill.,
where she was informed last night of her daughter's death.

Balancing herself for a fleeting moment on the sill of a window five
stories above the pavement, Mrs. Lena SEIZED, of 918 East 156th street,
Manhattan, yesterday afternoon waved her hand at the horrified crowds
in the street below and then plunged to her death. Her husband, who is
a foreman with the Fuller Construction Company, in Manhattan, said that

been able to accustom herself to urban life, and had suffered greatly
from nostalgia.
Mrs. SEIZES was a handsome young woman of 23. She was married about a
year ago and came to this city with her husband from Boston. Recently
she had complained of feeling homesick, and yesterday afternoon, when

was but a few moments after that Mrs. SEIZES plunged from the window.

heard a piercing scream uttered an instant before her death.

to-day, accompanied by a bondsman, and gave himself up.

street, which is owned by his father.
MCGUCKEN and Miss LOVE, who was the daughter of Dr. I.N. LOVE, one of
the best known physicians of the city at the time of his death,
registered at the hotel has man and wife. Coroner SHRADY says his
investigation has shown that MCGUCKEN and the girl had a violent
quarrel, and it was necessary for the hotel people to warn them to be
quiet although only a few drinks had been served to them. MCGUCKEN was
arrested at the time the girl was found, but was released in the West
Side Court because a physician from Roosevelt Hospital said she was not
badly hurt. MCGUCKEN later called up the hospital, and when he found

up to-day.

BROKER'S SUICIDE REVEALS SWINDLE
Brooklyn Man, His Easiest Dupe, Finds Dreams of Wealth an Empty Bubble
LEFT PENNILESS IN OLD AGE
DUCK Lavished Victim's Money on His Mistresses.
Through a cablegram from London, asking that the body of "A. DARLING,"
who shot himself on March 18 in a room in the Grand Union Hotel,
Manhattan, be given decent burial is revealed a swindle as remarkable
as that of the Franklin Syndicate, operated by "520 per cent," MILLER
and Col. Bob AMMON, now in Sing Sing. For nearly fifteen years, Arthur
E. DUCK, "DARLING's" true name, had fleeced credulous Americans through
the "blind pool" swindle. Millions were poured into the scheme, and as
fast as the money came in, DUCK handed it over to women he was
supporting. His greatest victim, so far known, is Edwin C. BAILEY, a
white haired old man, who has been living in a dingy, shabbily
furnished room at 36 Wyckoff street, and handing over to DUCK every
cent he could possible spare, blindly trusting the broker and believing
that fabulous profits would soon be at his command.
DUCK was a member of one of the richest families of brewers in England.
He was associated with Louis G. TEWKSBURY, now under arrest in
Manhattan, charged with plundering the estate of his divorced wife.
When TEWKSBURY's bucket shop was closed by the police and his famous
windowless mansion in Manhattan seized by creditors, DUCK opened an
office of his own in Broad street and posed as the American
representative of "BARRON, ANDERSON & Co., formerly ANDERSON, BARRON &
Co., of London." This firm, which is now shown to have been merely a
fabrication of DUCK's imagination was supposed to be dealing in the
principal American stocks on the London market.
It was shortly before the exposure of TEWKSBURY's schemes that Edwin C.
BAILEY had recently inherited an estate worth about $40,000. DUCK told
him of a blind pool that ANDERSON, BARRON & Co. were operating. His
accounts of the profits that would result from this speculation were so
alluring that old BAILEY became money mad, sold his comfortable home,
gave all his money to DUCK and went to live on 30 cents a day in the
little room at 36 Wyckoff street. The pool that he had dropped his
money into was to run for eight years. Once in, the agreement
prevented an investor withdrawing his money until the speculation was
ended and the pool dissolved. BAILEY knew of other men who had amassed
fabulous wealth through just such schemes, and the reports he got from
time to time from DUCK were so promising that he sunk more of his
income in the swindle. Some of his property was so tied up that he
could only get at the income, but every cent of this that was not
absolutely necessary for living expenses was turned over to DUCK to be
converted into part of the great fortune BAILEY thought would someday
be his.
When the first pool that he had invested in was closed out, BAILEY was
told that his money, principal and accrued profits, was eight times as
great as the original investment. DUCK showed him this money, or some
of it, stacked up in glittering gold and crisp bank notes in the big
steel save in the broker's office, and asked what disposition BAILEY
wished made of the money. DUCK had previously been careful to tell
his confiding victim of another blind pool that ANDERSON, BARRON & Co.
were going to operate, and BAILEY, with an idea that DUCK was a Midas
and that he would be a modern Croesus, answered simply, "Count me in
for all I have."
That night while BAILEY was munching on a crust of bread and sipping a
glass of milk in his unheated little hall room and thinking of his
growing wealth, DUCK was wining a gay young actress in an up-town cafe,
drinking to the credulity of Americans in general and of old BAILEY in
particular.
But BAILEY, now a feeble old man of 74, was not the only victim.
Hundreds, probably thousands, of persons did as he had done, and
continued to dream of their hatching wealth, until the crash came with
DUCK's death. In fifteen years it is said he squandered more than
$1,500,000 on women, and it was a woman's greed that finally drove him
to take his life.
Money had been coming in slowly, and DUCK with a half dozen women to
support, found it impossible to make both ends meet. He mortgaged his
office fittings and spent the proceeds, but that was merely another
drop in the bucket.
When old BAILEY heard of the broker's death he was stunned. All his
dreams were shattered, and the old man, too feeble now to work for his
support, tottered against the wall a ruined man. Every cent he had was
gone, swallowed up as completely as if he had tossed it into the ocean.
The bubble had burst, and BAILEY from being the supposed possessor of
millions, found himself penniless, with nothing he could call his own
but the rusty suit on his back.
How much DUCK got away with will probably never be known, but the
police from the cursory investigation they have been able to make,
believe that the swindles operated by DUCK netted him fully $2,000,000,
most of which he spent on women and gambled away.
HEART FAILURE KILLS MAN IN BROADWAY
While walking along Broadway, at Myrtle avenue, this morning Thomas

FOUND MANGLED IN STREET MAN DIES IN HOSPITAL
Responding to an appeal from Mrs. Clara DAHLIN, one of his
parishioners, Dr. Fritz JACOBSEN, of the Swedish Lutheran Bethlehem
Church, hurried yesterday to St. John's Hospital, where he found the
woman's husband lying dead, his body, head and limbs covered with
gashes and bruises. Declaring his conviction that murder had been
done, Dr. JACOBSEN refused to perform the funeral service until the
police had been notified and the Coroner had charge of the case. The
hospital authorities assured him that their own suspicions had been
aroused, and proper steps would be taken at once. To use their own
words, "A threshing machine could not have mangled the body in worse
fashion." Police Inspector CROSS has ordered an investigation. The
dead man, Anton DAHLIN, was a mining engineer, but for some time had
been out of employment, and was last seen, before the discovery of his
mangled body by a policeman at 1:30 A.M. Sunday, by Charles LUMBERG, of
689 Classon avenue, at 1 o'clock that morning, who had a conversation
with him, but noted no marks of injury. After arrival at the hospital
the victim lived less than two hours. A peculiar condition lies in the
fact that while the body is covered with wounds like small knife stabs,
no holes are found in the clothing covering the body.

The police of the Fort Hamilton station early this morning discovered
the body of a soldier lying in a vacant lot in Ninety-eighth street,
between Third and Fourth avenues, with a bullet wound in the right side
of his head and a revolver of the regular Army pattern by his side. An
ambulance surgeon who was summoned from the Norwegian Hospital said the
man had been dead some time. Later the man was identified as Julius
VON GLAHN, 25 years old, a member of the Ninety-eighth Company, Coast
Artillery, stationed at Fort Hamilton. The officers of the Fort say
they know of no reason why the man should have taken his own life.

Mrs. Catherine STRINGHAM, who died Tuesday at her home, 896 Madison
street, was one of the oldest women in Brooklyn, having passed her 92d
birthday. She was born in Far Rockaway, Dec. 27, 1813. When she was a
baby her parents moved to New York City, and when she was sixteen they
came to Brooklyn and took up their residence in Bridge street. While
living there she married Albert STRINGHAM, who was employed in the
grocery trade. Their wedding was on July 6, 1835. Mr. STRINGHAM was
killed in an accident in 1888. Besided her six children, Mrs.

to see "Uncle Tom's Cabin." She was a member of the Bushwick Avenue
Baptist Church. Funeral services will be held this evening at her home.
Dennis John HARRINGTON died yesterday in his forty-second year at his
home, 92 Washington street, Flushing. He was born in Ireland and made
a fortune and lost it in the furniture business in Manhattan. As a
politician HARRINGTON was the victim of many a practical joke. Judge
MCMAHON, as leader of the Seventeenth Assembly District, knowing of
HARRINGTON's popularity among the Irishmen of the district, made him an
Alderman in 1898; he served until 1900. The Queen's birthday in 1899
led to his undoing as a politician. A few days before some joker
handed him a paper and told him to "introduce it." It was a republican
calling for the raising of flags on all public buildings in honor of
the Queen. The Clan-na-Gael and other Irish societies passed
resolutions denouncing HARRINGTON. The joke caused so much feeling
that Judge MCMAHON was afraid to renominate HARRINGTON, so the Alderman
started a campaign to take the leadership from the Judge. One night he
started to speak on the top of a hogshead. In a few minutes his
eloquent remarks and violent gesticulations broke in the head of the
barrel, which had been loosened, to drown his remarks in water below.
HARRINGTON's jovial manner made him many friends. About two weeks ago
he fell and broke his hip. He was the owner of the Iroquois Hotel, in
Flushing.
Henrietta WIEDERHOLD MANNECK, whose ancestors, the WIEDERHOLDs, were

with honors from Columbia College in 1859. He studied in the office of
Judge Hooper C. VAN VORST, but put aside the law to take up literary
work. He was the editor of the old "Galaxy Magazine", and was
associated with his brother, Col. William CONANT CHURCH, in the
management of the "Army and Navy Journal" and the "Internal Revenue
Record." In recent years he had taken no part in the management of
these papers, but he remained a director in the corporation which owns

him. They had no children. Mr. CHURCH was a member of the Sons of the
