AN OIL KINGS PERIL
Magnate John D. Rockefeller's
House Guarded.
POLICE ALWAYS ON DUTY.
The Reason for this Extraordinary Sur
veillancs is Kept Secret

1Ir. Rockefeller Declines to Talk About
the Matter-It Is Said that 1T is Possible
that the Millionaire is III From Worry
Over Some Mysterious Enemy He is so
Carefully Guarded Against.
NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-There is a special
guard over the house of John D. Rookie
Teller. Three uniformed policemen-all
picked men for bravery, intelligence and
reliability-are keeping a special and ex-
elusive guard over his residence and
have been for nearly two months. Since
January they have taken turns by day
aud night in watching the millionaire's
palatial residence, West 54th street.
which has never been left unprotected
for moment. In broad daylight passers
by would not discover that the place is
guarded, for the policeman stands in the
shadow at the entrance to ST. Luke's
Hospital, which is directly opposite Mr..
Rockefeller's house.
Why this extraordinary police surveil-
lance is a carefully guarded secret. Mr..
Rockefeller himself declines to state, or
in fact, thus far, to be seen in regard to
Il at all. The comparatively great length
of time this remarkable precaution has
been exercised serves to heighten the
curiosity of those few who know Of the
matter, and what is more strange, from
all that can be learned, it is likely to be
kept up indefinitely. 1t is the only pri-
vate residence in the country, probably,
that is so protected.
Although four or five efforts have been
made by reporter to see Mr.. Rockefeller
personally in reference to the matter,
they were unsuccessful On Thursday
afternoon he pleaded indisposition,
Friday afternoon, when a final endeavor
was made, he was again found at home,
but had word conveyed to the reporter
that he preferred not to say anything OH
: the subject.
1t was ascertained that Mr.. Rockefeller
had asked the servants if they had fur
nished any information, and also that he
was ill enough to require the services of
his physician. In fact the doctor called
while the reporter was there and it was
some minutes before the former was ad-
mitted to his patients room. 1t is posi-
BILE that the millionaire is i'll from worry
over the mysterious enemy he is SO care
fully guarding against, and that the
81, GOO, 900 gift, made known on that day,
as special thanksgiving to God for re-
turning health, was also for some great
danger escaped or to be feared.

The slenet of Cheops.

The most curious nd remarka BILE
relic of antiquity in the world, the
Holy Coat Of Treves and the Iron Crown
of Lombardy not excepted, now lies
among the treasures of the Abbott col.
lection in the museum Of che New York
historical society. This relic is the
signet ring of Cheops, the builder Of
the largest of the Egyptian pyramids.
The knowledge of the fact that this
famous curiosity is in an American col
lection. easily accessible to all, should
make every reader feel a thrill of salts
faction that can be felt only by those
who have sense of being joint owners
in priceless treasure. The finding Of
this ring was the browning prize of DR..

Diseraceful ACTIONS Of a Juror.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio, Feb. 29.-The dis
graceful actions and remarks Saturday
in open court of a drunken juror in the
somewhat celebrated Freeman murder
case, in which Julia Freeman, a buxom
woman of 40, is charged with having
killed Paul Harvey, will undoubtedly
give the woman a new trial. The juror
in question is Daniel w. Wright, JUS
tice of the peace living at Vienna. While
Prosecutor Chase Stewart was making
his argument, Wright jumped up and
shouted: "That is right, Chase. We are
with you" He also left tho jury box
without being excused, and had to be
brought back by the court bailiff. The
jury brought in verdict of manslaughter
against the Freeman woman.

Her Trial.


Her Trial.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb 29.-Lillie John
son. who was admitted to bail Saturday
in the sum of $40, 900, is confined to her
bed completely FRUSTRATED, and it would
not surprise her friends and relatives if
death should end her trouble before the
time for her trial arrives.
Judge Dubose was more than usually
gruff Saturday when Miss Johnson was
carried into conrt to hear the decision in
her application for bail.
He denounced the crime as one of the
most diabolical that it had ever been his
province to try, and said that he had no
doubt that Lille Johnson did aid and
abet Alice Mitchell in cutting Freda
Wards throat.
When these words were uttered in the
thunder-like tones of Judge Dubose.
Lille Johnson shrank down in her chair
and a moan escaped her lips.
The court said he admitted her to bail
solely from the fact that confinement in
the Jail would kill her.
The next proceeding in this case will
be the trial of Alice Mitchell for lunacy
which will not take place for several
week.

A NARROW ESCAPE,
Another Team Struck at the Burnham |

Street Crossing.
John Anderson, an employee of Bere-
dict & Burnhams, while returning
Saturday evening with his wife and
little daughter, who had come with q
team to bring him home, had a very
narrow escape from death. The Ander-
sons live on Town Plot and had driven
along Burnham street, reaching the
Naugatuck crossing at the same time
that a train went south. The train shot
out from behind the Holmes, Booth 6,
Haydens' fence and Anderson succeeded
in stopping his horse and was endeavor-
ing to back him. The animal plunged
wildly, and the wagon was finally
struck by tile steps of one of the cars,
turned suddenly around and upset. Mr.
Anderson is somewhat cut about the
face and eyes, his wife is badly bruised
about the face and left eye, which
swelled up Immediately. She COM
planned much about her side and limbs.
The little girl escaped unhurt. They
claim they heard no whistle until the
train was almost on the crossing.
Something should be done about this
crossing. People going west on Burn
ham street are unable to see the ap-
preaching trains on account of the high
fence on the Holmes, Booth & Haydens'
property on one side and the Magner
property on the other. This is the
second accident on this same crossing,
and under similar circumstances in two
weeks.

our l4AReoR DEFENCE.
Plans for vessel That win BE Terro
ON the Sea.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs for some days
has had under consideration bill pro-
viding for the addition to the navy of 3
novel craft, which, If the assertions of
its designers are realized, will revolu-
tionize the present practice of harbor de-
fence.
The details of the boat are said to have
been carefully worked out, and the cal
culations have been verified by experts
Gen. Flagler, the chief of ordnance of the
army, has approved the plans, and Gen.
Borden stated to the committee that
Cramp & Sons stand ready to guarantee
the performance of the vessel.
The vessel Ia to be known as the Berdan
ironclad destroyer. 1t is to be 260 feet in
length by 40 feet In breadth and 16 feet
draft, giving a displacement of 2, ACC tons,
with speed of 20 knots per houe.
The feature of the design is found in
an enormous submarine gun, carried at
the bow below the water line. Sub ma
rine guns have been tried before this,
notably by Ericsson, and the Navy de-
partment is experimenting in this direc-
ton, but the projectors of the pending
bill feel that they have successfully over
come the difficulties encountered in this
attempt, and have now a practical means
at hand to drive an enormous she'll loaded
with an explosive charge of gunpowder
or guncotton, into the hull of any IRON
clad afloat, and explode it in the very
vitals of the ship.
According to the design submitted to
the committee and explained by Gen.
Berdan, a hydraulic buffer projects from
the bow of the vessel. This is so ad-
justed that it will stop the boat at dis
lance of eight feet from the enemy's
ship without injury to the boat. At this
short range the buffer automatically dis
charges the submarine gun directly at
the huh of the ship, and lodges within it
a she'll carrying bursting charge of 450
pounds of powder, sufficient to blow
down every bulkhead in the ship and
wreck the bottom.
