STORE DETECTIVES.
They Have Become "a Necessity in !
Goods Houses.

They Have Become u Necessity in Dry
Goods Houses.
The detective has become pc1rna-
nent fixture in the big dry goods houses.
Not one of the uptown establishments
is without a vigilant fly cop" and
many have as many as four or five men
detailed to do this kind of duty at this
time of the year, says the New York
Star. These men in not few cases
were selected on the advice of Inspector
Byrnes. The holiday season brings the
shoplifters and the petty thieves, male
and female, to the front, and they min
gle with the crowds which throng the
stores.
Pickpockets, too, find the busy stores
a profitable field for their art. The de-
tective, who, mayhap, is acting as floor
walker, or presiding with a tape and
check blank at some counter, has his
eyes open for this element of the popu-
lation. Many ''crook" feels tap on
his shoulder and hears a whisper in his
ear to make hurried exit.
The shoplifters give the detectives the
most concern. Toys and small articles
are tumbled about in confusion on the
counters in the big stores, and while the
girl attending is for the moment am
swering some inquiry, or busying her
self with some detail of her work, the
shoplifter essays to make quick and
big haul.
The detective is on the lookout FOR
this kind of customers, and few get
farther than the door. If they escape
one man, the scrutiny of another, near
the entrance, will hardly fail to detect
the shoplifter's suspicious actions With
all these precautions. however, the big
stores annually lose large sum through
theft.

The newest wallSing-sticlS for men is
one that bears the somewhat suggest
lfe title of the "clubman's stick" Il
lias a round head and looks like any
oodys cane, but its popularity appears
when its head is unscrewed. as it can
be, disclosing tiny electric light in a
glass bulb. The fitness of the
title appears at once, says the New
York sun. No more sleight-of-hand
performances with the key-hole when
the busy clubman gets home late md
tired. No more unhappy and dis
turbing stumbling through dark halls
and into unlighted apartments. When
the kindly office of the stick as an aid
to walking has been fulfilled, the stick
literally becomes light unto his feet
and lamp unto his path.

BERL|NER's MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Young Suicide Had Deceived
His Wife and Parents.

The mystery surrounding the suicide Of
William H. Berliner, who killed himself by
taking poison last night at GAL East Fifth

these words written on 1t:
Ny home, 81 q i East "a. Il, Firth t stree. street.
die tor the love OF my wife and child, and ask
May God biess my mother. wife and child.
Good by to all. l..
Give this to my wifo. W.
The card was In Berllner's handwriting,
and the mention OF his wife was the first init
nation his parents, with whom he lived, had
that he was married. They Immediately
made an Investigation. and found that q
young and very pretty Mrs. Berliner lived at
the Third street address.
She, in turn, was shocked at the tragedy,
and surprised to learn that the parents did
not know OF their sons marriage to her. She
said this morning:
"He told me that he had informed them OF
Ii last week, and that at first they were OPP
posed to me but finally became reconciled.
"AS an evidence OF this reconciliation he
gave me a check for 5000, which, he said, his
mother had given him so that we could set
up housekeeping.
"He also broGght around lot of things,
saying they were presents from relatives
lie nhu nlTtu HAT on Eleventh Slrcet INTO
which VIC were to have moved to-day.
The check, found out this morning was
n forgery, and the things which he said were
presents he had bought himself.
I" ] don't know why he should have deceived
me so cruelty. suppose he was ashamed OF
his conduct and killed himself. And now,
remember, he told my mother on Sunday last
that he was sorry he was married"
Bcrlincr married his wife last August. She
was a widow then. The child Berliner spoke
OF was hts wife's by her former husband
whose name was Backus. The wife's maiden
name was Anna kaufman. she is only nine.
teen years old and widow for the second
time.
Bcrlner was q determined suicide. II the
poison had not done Its work he would most
likely have finished himself with knife, FOR
one was found clutched In his right hand
with the blade open.
The suicide was twenty-four years old. lie
was employed as an agent for Max lIein
dealer in photographers supplies at lss
Grand street. Last night when he returned
from work he went directly to his room.
His mother saw him put white powder
into glass OF water and drink It.. Then he
threw himself on the ped. A few moments
later he called his mother and said:
- have taken poison. Good-by. Forgive
me-"
A doctor was called, but too late to save
him. lie died within twenty minutes.

ROBBERS WHO KNEW HOW.
Fast Train on the St Louis Road
Held Up Scientifically.
Passengers Prevented from Assisting
the Express Messenger.
TpY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 1.-Further details to-day
show that the robbery Of Train No. > on the
st. Louis and San Francisco road last night
was one OF the most daring perpetrated In
years.
When the train LETT the depot last night ut
S.25 o'clock II was just twenty-five minutes
late. The limits OF the city had been passed
and the engineer was Just preparing to make
up for lost time, when three men, who had
boarded the train at Old orchard, climbed
over the water-tanK ana coal ana covered
the fireman and engineer with revolvers.
The engineer was ordered to stop the train
near Glendale, and as an additional induce
mcnt to him to obey orders three men who
were in ambush at that point opened fire on
the train with rifles
When the train had been brought to a
standstill the engineer and fireman were or
dercd down from the cab, and, after detailing
two OF the band to keep guard over them, the
other four men started back for the express
car, in which was the safe OF the Adams Ex-
press Company containing about $4,000.
Messenger Mulrenen, who was In charge Of
the car, hurriedy secured the door just as the
men reached 1t.
The robbers first tried to induce him to
open 1t and, falling, tried to pry 1t open, but
the stout door foiled all their efforts, and
after spending about ten minutes in this
work they put charge Of dynamite under
the door and blew 1t open.
AS soon as the door was broken the four
men leaped In. Messenger Mulrenen made a
brave resistance, but the robbers beat him
into condition OF paSsivity with the butts OF
their revolvers and began operations on the
sale.
This did not long resist their attacks, and
after riflng 1t OF It's contents the guard was
called OIL and the sextet OF desperadoes took
to the woods.
The men were oil masked, and had ev1-
IDENTIFY planned their work well, as each one
seemed to know exactly what to do, and but
few words were spoken during the entire
operation.
Immediately on receipt Of the news a spe-
cial train, well manned with Officers, was
/ sent to the scene.
During the time the train was stopped at
Glendale some or the trainmen and paSSen-
gers attempted to come to the assistance OF
the engineer and messenger, but the guard
placed over the former covered each side OF
the train with their rifles and warned them
back on pain Of death.
Besides rifing the safe OF the Express
Company II is said the robbers opened several
bags OF registered mail matter on the car and
selectirg what appeared to be OF most value,
carried 1t of.
About hve years ago train was held up
and robbed at about the same place, near
Glendale.

AsBURY PARK, n. j., Dec. 1.-The sudden
death OF Miss Mamie Bishop, the step.
daughter CT David W. Rowland, Of West Park,
Is causing much talk In this community,
where the girl had large circle Of friends.
The opinion now prevails that Miss Bishops
death was caused, not by morphine poison
ing, as was at first thought, but by criminal
operation performed upon her by some per-
son as yet unnamed.
Coroner Van Dyde and Drs. Brown and
JohnSUn, under whose direction the autopsy
was Eeld, absolutely refuse to say anything
regarding the case 1h!S reticcnce on their
part has tended TO strengthen the belief that
the unfortunate girl was victim OF NAL
practice.
Dr. Dcs Anges, the Rowland family physi-
clan, SIN adhercS to the belief that his pa
tient died OF neuralgia or the heart. He had
given n certificate stating that this was the
cause or death.
The inquest was to have been held this
morning. but was postponed for n week, pend
ing an analysis OF the dead girls stomach by

A Broken Grip Delayed Trains and

Thousands OF people walked across tho big
bridge this morning, although they had no
intention Of giving themselves that exercise
when they LETT home. II was case Of walk
or take 10 the ferries apparently, for the
Brooklyn entrance TO the cable cars was
Jammed. and the only information those on
the outer edge OF the crowd could get was
that The bridge cars had stopped, and that no
one knew the cause or how soon they would
resume their trips.
II was Just 7.56 O'Clock when the blockade
began, aud At y O'Clock the promenade was
MED with solid mass OF people, extending

who had been unable TO get out OF the jam
and walk across themselves, g0Od-naturrdiy

The cause OF the blockade was later re-
ported TO be the failure OF a grip TO work,
which necessitated pulling back and unload-
