Robbed in New York.

Among the many passengers who came
over to New York from Jersey City on the
7:30 ferryboat Saturday evening was a
handsome woman, richly dressed, appar-
entity about 30 years of age. She engaged
a cab to take her to Fifth avenue and
Forty. first STREET. No one noticed the
number on the cab. Another man was
riding with the driver. At 10 o'clock at
night the attention Of Detective Jacobs. of
the Hoffman house was attracted to a
woman who was walking on Twenty-fourth
street, between Sixth and Seventh ave-
nues. Her handsome dress was torn, her
eyes were swollen with weeping and there
was blood upon her face and hands. She
seemed to lie in a dazed condition and her
left ear was torn and the diamond earring
that had been in it was missing. Jacobs
conducted her to the hotel and placed her
in one of the ladies' parlors.
Although nervous and frightened, the
lady soon recovered sufficiently to narrate
a startling story of assault and robbery.
Sac said she was Mrs. Edward M. Jordan,
OF Pittsburg. She was on her way to Bos-
ton to JOIN her husband, who was there on
business. She said: 3The cabmar drove
up side street and stopped. A man
opened the door and jumped in. Give me
that pocketbook,' he said, and he snatched
for my purse. screamed and struggled,
but he placed his hand over my mouth and
stifed my cries. Then he pulled out one
of my ear rings, and tainted with pain. /
remember the driver opening the door
above and pushing me out into dark
street and then driving rapidly away. /
walked up as far as Twenty fourth street,
hardly knowing where I was going, but
STRIVING to find the residence of my
friends"
She furnished the address of her friends
and was taken there and placed under the
care of a physician. The police are trying
to find the rascally cabman.

POSSIBLY MURDERED.

Two Young Englishmen Who Came to
Canada and Were Never Heard From.
4. b. Anderson, OF Anderson & Sons,
civil engineers, with Offices in the Stewart
building, New York. has instituted an in
quiry as to the whereabouts of two young
Englishmen, whom he believes were lured
from London TO Canada under the impress
sion that they were going to become
wealthy land owners and farmers.
The story, as told by Mr.. Anderson, is in
substance as follows. Augustus Rawl-
ings, son of an iron merchant in London,
and an intimate friend of Mr.. Anderson,
left that city seven years ago for Canada
to become farm pupil, under the auspices
of an advertising agency. His family re-
ceiyed two letters from him dated in Ham
ilton, Ont, then, but MOTH
ing more has since been heard Of
him. His parents are dead. Mr..
Anderson came to hisscountry Eve years
ago and started in business. While
here he corresponded with Francis Beg
bic, whose father was another old friend of
MIR. Anderson. Young Begbie, who was
81 years old, informed Mr.. Anderson three
years ago that he was about to start for
Canada to learn farming, and subsequent
ly Mr.. Anderson received letters from him
dated in Toronto. Mr.. Anderson, fearing
that his young friend WAS making mis-
take, went to Canada and found Begbie
located on small farm back of Toronto.
He tried to persuade the young man to
leave the place, but as BegDie had $500
sunk in the farm he refused to remove.
Mr.. Alderson's son subsequently wrote to
Begbie, but the letter was returned, mot
found"
The Birchall case attracted Mr.. Alder
sons notice, and he is under the impress
sion that his young friends have shared
Benwell's fate. Mr.. Anderson has sent his
story to Detective Murray in Toronto for
investigation.

ing nearly demolished Dozens of people
