AXES, PICKS AND HAMMERS.
The Long Island Railroad Buildings
Torn to Pieces.
THEY WE'RE NOT NICE ENOUGH.
Mayor Gleason Leads the Assault and
the Police Keep Back the
Enthusiastic Citizens
Taken Into Court.
A Second Grand Assou,t.

New YORK, July ~27.-TSpecial Telegram to
The Bee. AL Long Island City gathered
about the Long Island railroad depot on
Front street yesterday afternoon. The
crowd began TO collect at noon and at Q
o'clock there were thousands of people push
ing, yelling and shouting in the little street.
Inc cause was the report that Mayor Pat
rick D. Gleason was going to begin a second
grand assault on the Long Island railroad
company buildings which are obstructing the
town. Mayor Gleason was In his little ONCE,
hardly q stones throw from the depot, with
the commissioners OF public works and police,
ton stout laborers, armed with picks and
hammers, and six policemen. Gleason turned
to his little army and said:
Get your axes and your hammers and
tear down all those sheds, every one of them,
and don't let any man stop you"
The mayor himself led the charge, and
struck the first blow at the shed. A lady
wanted to pm a boquet on his coat, but he
would not let her. The mayor lifted a pick,
swung IL back and struck, with all the force
OF his powerful arm, the prop Of the first
shed. There was a crashing and splintering
OF wood, and the prop came down, bringing
the end of the shed with it. A roar went UP
from the crowd, which could almost be heard
m Vow IoIh' lHen tHe mayor ana his men
hacked and tore away, some of them on the
roof, some digging up the foundations and
some carrying off the debris. The six police.
men formed IA Gordon around the street to
keep the enormous crowd back.
The mayor kept up a running fire of COM
ment: THAT'S right, Mike; hit her again;
KNOCK that prop away that's one hindrance
less TO honest people. Bully for YOU, Bill
Wen show them the people own this town.
GIVE that post another rap. We've been run
long enough by the Long Island railroad.
Hammer away, boys, tooth and nail"
FINALLY the whole line of sheds along Front
street for fully 200 feet was torn down and
scattered about the street. Mean
time the railroad had been send
ing out special trains IN every
direction to get a judge to issue u warrant
for the arrest of Long Island City's mayor.
Finally one was found, but the mayor vowed
he would tear down all the buildings before
he would stop permanently, and merely nd
lourned with the force for u time, to begin
again tomorrow.
Late last evening Mayor Gleason was
served with an injunction to restrain him
from tearing up the tracks. He, IN turn, has
ordered the railroad officers to appear before
him August | to answer for violating the law.

SIOUX CRY, July N.-LSpecial Telegram
to THE BEE. Tine Sioux City club took a
new departure to-day and won a game from
Chicago, ana a beautiful game it was. Chi
cago succeeded in batting Sioux .City's new
left-handed pitcher, Siebel, but the energetic
fielding of the home club destroyed all the
benefits thereof. The only run scored by
Chicago was q clear gift of the bad judy
ment Of the home shortstop. One thing that
handicapped Chicago was the bad luck of its
catcher, Hoover, in hurting his arm while
running down Phelan between the home
plate and third base. The score:

WOMAN'S KINGDOM.
Mrs. MOrtOn's HOusemaid Leaves to

SatNSo W
Shine Upon the Stage.
New York World: Here is a curious
servaut-girl episode that is said to have
occurred in the household OF Mrs. Levi
p. Morton, the wife OF the republican
vice-presidential candidate. She had
in her employ n young Oma who did
what is vulgurly known as the sup
stairs work., or, in other words, was a
housemaid. This housemaid did her
work neatly and with dispatch. Her
beds were always snowy parallelograms,
without a wrinkle; there was never to
be found, even in the most secret cor
ners, a fragment of neglected dust,
and she never broke ornaments. I'm
agine what was Mrs. Morton's disgust
when this rara avis came one day to
when her month was up.
"But why do you wish to go?" in
CURED the house mistress. "Are you
dissatisfied in any way?" mo" said
the house maid, "but / mean to give up
homework and study for the s~taoe,h
"Stagel" gasped Mrs. Morton, who had
only begun to recover from the shock of
seeing society women appear before the
footlights, and was aghast at this for
Yard movement from the other end of
the social line. "What has ever put it
in TO your head to go on the stageY"

ment. They always ask me to recite,
and they applaud me so much that I
thought perhaps I had a real talent, so
l ave saved Il little money and I'm
going to give up IL year to study"
But what do you fecite?" Mrs. Nor

the maid, modestly, "but Pm very fond
of reciting from Browning, too" Mrs.
Browning, of course" said her mistress.
"Oh. no, ma'am! Not a tall. Mr.. E,rown-
ing" "Do you mean to tell me that
you recite Robert Browring's poems,"
demanded the ast1nished lady. "Yes'm.
And l have a copypof his poems with his
name written in it that he sent me him
self. 1t happened very curiously.
There was a lady who came to the club
sometimes who gave our library a copy
of his poems, and she was very much
interested in me because / read and re-
cited them so often. She w--s n COUSIN
of the American lady young Mr.. Oscar
Browning married, and when she went
| to England she saw Mr.. Browning him
self and told him about my reciting his
poems, so he took a volume of them and
wrote his name on the fly leaf, and
asked her to give me the book when she
came home."

last will be played September 10 with Des
Moines. The team finishes the season away
from home.
Jack Brennan, the umpire, has been re-
leased and Joe Quest, the veteran seco nd
baseman, appointed in his stead. Quest
has arrived here and will umpire the
game with Minneapolis this afternoon.
The release of Brennan was an arbitrary
action on the part Of Secretary Morton, and
Brennan does not propose to submit tamely.
Late yesterday afternoon Brennan received
a telegram from Menges. of Kansas City,
anu Barnes, of st. Paul, telling him to go on
the field here to-day and umpire the game;
that Morton had no legal right to dismiss
him. Brennan will do 80. 1t takes six clubs
TO dismiss an umpire.

German, giving his name as G. Peterson, a
~cigarmaker, living at 39S Austin avenue,
Chicago, applied to the chief of police of this
city yesterday for help in finding his wife,
who, he said, had eloped with a United

guilty pair were found and things discovered
to be as Peterson had represented. Brought
into court, Mrs. Peterson seemed glad to see
her husband, and expressed a desire to re-
turn to Chicago with him, but a difficulty
stood IN the way. Mr.. Peterson had not the
money to purchase the tickets. The kind
hearted mayor, however, generously ad-
vanced the amount necessary, and the two
started to the depot.

AUGUSTA, Ca, July 27.-One year ago the
residence of L. G. Sessions, q few miles from
this city, was robbed Of some money and sill
yer plate. The thief was discovered and al.
most captured, when he mysteriously disap-
peared in the darkness, and the most diligent
search failed to trace him. Yesterday Ses-
sions ordered a tree to be cut, as it gave evil
dence of rapid decay, and It's proximity to his
residence made it dangerous. 1t was an i'm
mense ancestral oak, and for years a hollow
had extended up through it. When the tree
fell the skeleton of q man was found wedged
In the hollow, ard near him the silverware.and
money that had been stolen from Sessions.
The supposition is that the burglar in escap-
ing climbed the tree and stepped in the hol-
low SO as to elude discovery, but found it i'm
possible to extricate himself.
