A detective was sent to work by the
railroad company. In the course of his
investigations he came across Mrs. Mon-
roe. 1t is alleged that he frequently saw
the conductors pass her without taking
her ticket. Finding out where she
lived, he called ON her one day this
week. The interview was brief, but
effective. He accused her of receiving
uncanceled railroad tickets from GER
tain conductors. She stoutly denied
the charge until she was threat
ened with arrest. 1t is said that she
then broke down and confessed to hay
ing received presents of tickets from
Conductors Travis, Baker, Casey, Sim
clair and Williams of the Bushwick
branch. She said the tickets she didn't
use herself she gave to her friends and
acQuaintances. She then, it is said,
produced hatful of tickets, which she
turned over to the detective.
The first the conductors knew they
were discharged. When the nature of
the charges were made known they all
entered general denial, and said they
were the victims of conspir acy. The
railroad officials say they will give them
an opportunity to disprOve the charge
in court.
Since his discharge one of the con-
ductOrS has made several trips to
Ozone Park for the purpose of getting
Mrs. Monroe to sign an affidavit re-
tracing the statement made in relation
to him. The conductors discharged are
all married men, some have families.

New YORK, Sept. 7.-One of the most
determined attempts at suicide ever
heard of was made last night by Lena
HertZog, seventeen years old, who re-
sides with her parents in Williamsburg.
The girl is comely brunette, plump of
form and of pleasing appearance. She
was passenger Oh the ferry boat from
Brooklyn on the 1910 o'clock trip last
night to this city. When the boat
reached the Grand street ferry on this
side Miss HertZog came ashore, but i'm
mediately returned and paid her fare
and once more took seat in the cabin.
The boat had not yet cleared
the slip when one of the decks
hands saw the girl walk rapidly out of
the cabin toward the stern of the
boat. For moment she stood still and
then suddenly swung herself clean of
the east rail and disappeared. The
deck hand gave the alarm and the boat
was stopped. Inside of few seconds
life preseryers. ladders and ropes were
called into requiSition. The electric
light made things as clear as day. The
first life preServer thrown fell close to
the girl, but she pushed 1t away with
an angry gesture. The noise and shouts
attracted the ticket chopper, James
Kelly, who is an expert swimmer, and
has already saved thirteen people from
drowning. He jumped into the river,
seized the girl by the waist and lifted
her bodily up so that she might breathe.
The girl turned upon him and struggled
to free herself from his grasp. Kelly
held on, however, and made for the slip.
A desperate struggle followed. The
half-drowned girl seemed to gain new
strength and she fought like a tigress.
When near the slip ropes were tmown
Kelly caught one and wound it round
the body of his charge. but it was
quickly thrown off.--This the girl re-
peated three times. and then seizing her
rescuer by the arm, sayagely bit him.
Kelly was becoming exhausted, and
saw that if the girls life was to be
saved violence would have to be used,
so he was compelled to beat her into
submission. The blows had the desired
effect for time, but when an attempt
was made to lift her up on the ladder
she broke out afreSh, but was finally
landed wet, limp and exhausted. This
water battle lasted fully fifteen min
utes. When stimulantS were offered
the girl later on, she threw the glass
from her and smashed it. Finally the
reckless creature was placed under ar
rest and afterwards sent to hospital in
an ambulance, where to-day she was
doing nicely. Her parents say that the
whole adventure arose FROM love

Reproduction Ofthe Capture of
Stage Coach,

The feature of the day occurred in
the forenoon. 1t was the thrilling and
realistic scene of an old-tlme stage
coach robbery, embellished with the
traditional bloody battle between cow
boys and redskins. The Nushka club
coach was the one that was robbed. 1t
was driven by a typical-lOOking stage
driver, and on the top of the
coach were seated President Bush

land, of this city, and j. Cooper. of st.
Cloud. The robbery was a very real
istic one. The cowboys came dashing
up, firing off their revolvers, and COM
PEELED the coach to stop. Then the in
mates were compelled to get out
and have their pockets rifled
of all valuables. The coach
was allowed to proceed. but before
great distance had been traversed a
band of Redskins came rushing out of
ambush and attacked it. Miss Denny
was seized by one of the braves, and,
with triumphant whOop, carried off.

SWEET STUFF sCORCHEs.
A Big Sugar Mill Burned InvOlv
ing a Loss of $2,OOO,OOO.

ing a LOSS Oh Sl,OOO,OOO.
New YORK, Sept. IA very disas-
trous fire broke out at about 80 o'clock
this afternoon in the mammoth sugar
plant of Dick, Meyer & Co., ON North
Seventh and North Eighth streets,
Williamsburgh. The fire started with
an explosion, the exact cause of which
is not known. 1t is supposed to have
been caused by the explosive nature of
finely powdered particles of sugar which
had permeated the air in the mills where
the granulated sugar was reduced to the
powdered product. There were three
mills at work reducing the granulated
sugar to powder. The entire establish
ment which consisted of a collec-
tion of buildings, eight stories in
height, extending about 400 feet
on North Seventh street, 800 feet on
North Eighth street and 250 feet along
the dock, was reduced to a mass of
ruins. 1t was filled with very valuable
machinery, and the loss on the build
ings and machinery is estimated at
about 81, 100000. Within the building
were 1,700 barrels of sugar valued at
about $500, 900, making total loss of
about S2,000.000. There were number
of men injured by the explosion or
burned by the fire. Their names are
not yet Obtainable. The mills employ
about 200 men who will be thrown out
of employment.
The name of the firm is the Dick &
Meyer Sugar Refinery company. The
explosion occurred on the fifth floor in
the new refinery situated on North
Eighth street. Four alarms and a
special call were sent out. The filter
house, next door to the refinery, soon
caught fire and shortly afterwards the
second filter house on North Seventh
street was seized by the hungry flames.
Almost at the same time the machine
building, Office building and number
of sheds were attacked. At. 2:30
the floors and the walls of the
building had fallen in, and at
5 O'Clock the flames had had
reached the storage house on North
Seventh street, where 5000 barrels of
sugar were stored. In half an hour
this was all burned up, and soon the en-
tire plant of twelve buildings was in
ruins. The property was insured for
nearly the entire value. The capacity
of the burned refinery is 1000, 600 pounds
daily, and about 10000 barrels of sugar
went up in smoke. During the progress
of the fire Martin Schmidt was burned
about the face, John Keller about the
head and George Swallen had his arm
fractured by a falling brick. Three
other men were slightly injured. At 6
o'clock the flames were under control.

ried in the Fall.


NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 7.-George A.
Ballantine, son of the big brewer of
this city, is to marry Miss Lathrop, a
member of one of the most prominent
Boston families, this fall. He proposes
to bring his bride to very handsome
home, and he is busy giving the orders
for fitting up residence in the
most elaborate style. He has purchased
the Abeel residence, on east Park
street, one of the finest old houses
in the state. He will overhaul it
thoroughly, ,and fit it up in the most mod
ern fashion. An architect has Just fin
ished the designs. The dining room
will be furnished in quartered oak, the
library in San Domingo mahogany, and
the parlor will be decorated in white
and gold. The stained glass will be
from special designs by Tiffany. The
fireplace in the dining room will have
a facing of yellow tile to match the oak,
and low china closets will be placed IN

with handsome loaded glass doors. The
mantel will be handsomely carved. The
buffet will be of quartered oak, with
bevel plate glass doors. The chairs will
Russian leather. The library will also

were suggested by Mr.. Ballantine.
There will be stable in the rear which
will be fitted up for three stalls and one
box stall, harness closet and harness
dressing room. A large part of the
work, which is very expensive, is put
together in such way that it can be
taken away when Mr.. Ballantine is pre-
pared to build on Mt. Pleasant avenue,
near the residence of Mr.. Clark, the
wealthy thread manufacturer, thing
that he says he is liable to do in the
course of few years. In the mean
time, however, his wife will find her
self decidedly comfortable in the mag
nificent home now being put in shape
for her.

QUEBEC's SENSATION.
Disgraceful Encounter Between
Society Ladies of the Dominion.


Society Ladies of the Dominion.
QUEBEC, Sept. 7.-Quebec society is
agitated over an encounter that occurred
an evening or two ago in the presence
of the governor general between two
well-known society ladies of this city
one the Countess de Londieres, the wife
of the chancellor of the French
consulate at Quebec, and the other
a sister of the attorney general of
the province of Quebec, and the wife of
prominent French journalist. The
ladies were included in a select COM
pany of about a hundred guests that
were invited by the governor general
and Lady Stanley to dance at the
vice-regal quarters at the citadel,
with the admiral and officers of
the North American feet now
here, and with the lieutenant gov
ernor of the province and party. The
countess. while promenading with a
partner of the previous dance, spied
her husband on the other side of the
ballroom, having on his arm a young
married lady of this city, who is not
only exceedingly prominent in Quebec's
best society, but also deserved
ly esteemed for her amiabil-
ity of manner and propriety of
conduct; the terrible suspicious of
the countess and the insinuations con-
veyed in number of anonymous let
tiers received by her, to the contrary
notwithstanding. The countess dashed
over to her husband, and tearing him
from the lady On his arm, ordered him
to come home with her at once, ex-
postulating angrily with him at the
same time for being with the lady
In question. reminding him that she
had forbidden him to speak to
her. One rumor alleges that the count
ess struck the other lady in the face
with her fan. and that the disgraceful
scene continued until member of the
vice-regal staff interfered to stop it..
This is declared by friends of the lady
to be an eyaggeration. The incident
is the sensation of the day. which was
heightened Tuesday by the newspa-
pers controlled by the other lady's
husband advising that the ladies of the
consulate should be kept under the con-
jugal roof, where they belong, in order
to avoid the repetition of disgraceful
scenes that could be eharitably be at
tributed only to excessive nervousness.
Two angry-looking husbands, each
claiming to be we'll armed, were look
ing around yesterday for each other,
but whether a tragedy will result from
their meeting may we'll be doubted.

Cattle and Horses That Deserve
the Attention They Attract.

ing fineness of the show. Supt. Lig-
gett. of Liggett & Wilcox's Benson
stock farm, enters ten youngers, the
get of their celebrated Shorthorn Won

his sons in the present show is seven
months old, and weighs 700 pounds.

VICTIMS OF A WOMAN.
Conductors Forget Their Duty
and Are Discharged Without
CeremOny.


NEW YORK, Sept. IA pretty wom-
ans smiles and Pinkerton detectives
sagacity have been the means of caus-
ing heap of trouble for Conductors
Baker, Travis, Sinclair, Casey and Will
iams, of the Bushwick branch of the
Rockaway Beach T New York railroad.
The conductors have been discharged
and the woman has been estranged
from her husband. A sequel to the
story may be the arrest of the conduct
Ors and a suit for divorce.
She is the wife of Alfred Monroe, a
well-to-do oyster dealer. They live in a
Queen Anne cottage in Patch avenue,
Ozone Park. Mrs. Monroe is twenty
three years old. She has blue eyes and
chestnut hair. Mr.. Monroe's business
takes him away from home days at a
time. 1t is said Mrs. Monroe has been
an almost daily visitor to Rockaway
Beach during the season. On these oc-
casiOnS she always took along her
pretty, curly-headed five-year-old boy.
She was familiar figure on the train
and appeared to be well acquainted with
the trainmen.
For some time the company has no
ticed discrepancy in the sale and re-
turn of tickets at the Bushwick station.
The sale of tickets at this station eX-
ceeded largely the number turned in by
the conductors. Contrary to the usual
custom, the tickets are not punched at
