OOOGlNG JURY DUTY.

The Methodical Habits OF Traveller
Sustain His Explanations.
Among the jurors in Justice Cullen's
court on Tuesday was a well built man,
who looked youthful in spite of his sill
very gray hair and mustache. He had
been summoned to appear in court that
day, bat had not yet been called when
the reporter met him.
~ wonder" he said, whether J. will
really be made juror this time? have
been lodging jury service every year
since came to Brooklyn to live, twenty
eight years ago"
THAT is frank confession.
ooh, but / didn't know anything
about it at any time until it was too late.
You SEQ, go travelling every winter

strange chance the subpoena server al

subpoena lay in the hall where he put it,
until nv return. Then would godow1

I put down every day while travelling

ROBBERS RAID A TRAIN.
ROAD AGENTS EMPTY THE POCKETS

Pullman Car Passengers Relieved OF
Money and vaiuabIes In Western
Wnds.
SEATTLE, Wash, Nov. 25.-The over
land west bound train on the Northern
Pacific railroad was held up last evening
near Hot Springs by three masked men
who robbed all of the male passengers in
the Pullman sleeper, six in all.
The robbers entered the car, il is be-
lieved at Hot Springs. as the train had
not goue five miles from that place
when the men entered the rear part of
the sleeper. One of the highwaymen
went to the extreme end of the car
while the others stood at the end they
entered. All were dressed in dark
clothes, iovercoats, slouch hats and
wore handlxerchiefs over their faces with
holes cut out for eyes. They placed re-
volvers at the heads of the passengers
and commanded them to hold up their
hands.
The robbers did not molest the ladies',
of whom there we're four with two
children, telling them to keep quiet and
no harm would come to them.
After robbing everybody in the car and
without going TO any of the other cars,
the robbers pulled the bell cord. giving
the proper signals, and when the car
stopped they pulled the bell to start
again and then jumped off, fed to the
woods, firing parting fusilade as they
disappeared The total amount taken
was 81 200, besides the gold watches
iewelry and other valuable.
From the fact that the robbers gave
perfect signals it is believed that they
are railaoad men. They were all armed
with big Colt revolvers The train arrived
here about o'clock this morning, enrout'

Struck.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 25.-All the firsmo
in the New York Steam company's great
plant in Greenwich and Washington
streets, between Cortland and Dey
streets, struck at 1910 this morning
against reduction Of wages.
The company employs about fifty fire.
men on the fftysix boilers located
around the bases of the great chimneys,
which are among the most prominent
landmarks Of the city They had been
receiving % cents an hour and were
working from eight to ten hours a day.
The company had announced that here
after they would be paid but 20 cents
an hour and would be expected to work
twelve hours a day
Nearly all Of them had been steamship
lremen and these said that this reduc-
tion would bring their wages down
10 a lower figure than they could
get at sea, especially on American boats,
and all joined in saying that it was a
physical impossibility for a man to fire
the boilers Of the steam companys plant
twelve hours day for many days in
succession. The steamship men said
that the fire rooms of the plant were
hotter than the stoke holes OF modern
steamer, where a man only worked four
hours at a stretch and was then allowed
TO rest eight hours, TO say nothing Of the
long vacations with full pay when the
vessel was lying in port.
The men at work left their posts one
by one There was not a fireman left In
the house and before the men had left
they had opened the dampers, letting
great volumns of cold air into the fur
neces and bringing the steam pressure
down like shot
Chief Engineer Clarence, who was In
charge, rushed out into the street and
begged the men to return, but was met
with peremptory but polite refusal
The strikers were jubilant at the
consternation they had caused Before
! o'clock the steam had fallen from the
regular pressure of eighty five pounds to
the square inch TO less than fifty pounds
and was still rapidly falling The eleva-
tors In the Western Union Telegraph
building at Broadway and Dey street had
TO stop running, and in this building and
in the general post Office the electric
lights went out as there was not power
enough TO run the dynamos.
There was a great hurrying around to
start fires beneath the long idle boilers
Of their steam plants and there was
pandemonium in those Of the morning
newspaper Offices that were caught with
out power az the very hour when their
presses were about TO start.
Superintendent Gaines of the New York
Steam Heating company at 10 o'clock
this morning said that the places Of the
striking iremen had all been filed and that
there were more applicants for positions
than they could employ
The cause Of the strike, Mr.. Gaines
said, was not So much the reduction in
wages as the amount OF liquor the night
men imbibed during and after their
Thanksgiving dinner.
