A REMARKABLE ROBBERY.
Daring Theft of a Pair of Diamond
Earrings on a Public Street.

Daring Theft of a Pair of Diamond
Earrings on a Public Street.
As bold a highway robbery as ever
occurred in the city was committed on
Euclid avenue early last evening. 1t is
doubtful if the annals of the police can
show d case parallel to it. A party of
four ladies were walking on Euclid ave-
nue. on the way home from a shopping
expedition. They were Mrs. H. A Grit
fin. MRS. f. A. AFTER. Miss Griffin and
Miss After. At $50 o'clock they were
in front Of the residence of Colonel John
Hay, on Euclid avenue, opposite Huron
street. 1t was dark, but many persons
were passing on their way home. The
ladies were interested in conversation
and gave no attention to the stealthy ap-
proach behind them of tall, spare
young man, attired in light colored
overcoat. He stepped behind Mrs. AFTER
and placed one hand on each side of her
head. He pressed them against either
cheek and then turned and fed. His ac-
ton was so unexpected and the ladies so
startled that they failed for Il moment to
understand it. Then Mrs. AFTER raised
her hands to her head and learned that
she had been robbed of her diamond ear
rings.
''Oh, dear. my earrings are gone!" she
exclaimed.
A cry for assistance was at once raised
by all OF the ladies. Calls were made for
the police. A large crowd gathered in a
few moments, but too late to be of serv-
ice. The thief after securing his plum
der started at rapid gait along the
driveway between the residences of Colo
mel Hay and General James j. Tracy.
A man left his buggy to chase him, but
the fugitive easily eluded him in the
darkness. He had probably ascertained
the lay of the land in advance and knew
exactly the best course to pursue.
The highwayman gained possession of
the earrings by opening the clasps and
slipping them out of the ears. Mrs.
AFTER escaped injury and only learned
the absence of the earrings when she in
stinctively reached for them and found
them gone. Each of them contained
large solitaire diamond, and she priced
them highly. The value of the gems is
about $500.
- 0tAN OAAAy S1SC VI IIlO hllld VI
which | have ever heard said Captain
Humphrey, of the detectives There
are a few cases in which earrings have
been torn from the ears, but do not be-
Eeve that any other highwaymanh has had
the nerve to open the clasps and remove
the earrings just as the owner would
have done. Everything conspired in fa-
vor of the thief. When Mrs. AFTER felt
the mans hands pressed against her
cheeks from behind, she supposed that it
was her husband, and that>he had over
taken her and proposed to give her sur
prise. The first thought of the other
ladies in the party was that Mrs. AFTER
was receiving singular greeting from
some relative whom they did not know.
Of course it was all over in moment,
and then they discovered their mistake"

The controversy going on between
the Rutland Herald and the Hard
wick Gazette and the st. Johnsbury
Republican, regarding free school
books is decidedly interesting. The
two latter papers strongly adj
vocate the "idea" while the Her
aid, usually on the right side, is en-
dpavoring to show that the times
are not yet ripe for free books. 1t is
struggling manfully, but it appears
to US that it has an uphill job on its
hands. The people want free text
books and it was only by a sleight-
ofhand movement that the bill failed
to become a law at berecent session.

WHERE THE COOP DIE OLD.-The
mOrtuary record of the town of Ben
nington, Vt, for 1892 presents some
interesting facts. There we're eighty
one deaths, three less than in 1891
The prevalence of the grip last winter
was particularly fatal to the very
old, as is evidenced by the death-rate
at this extreme of life. There are in
the list nineteen who are more than
seventy, nine more than eighty, and
two more than ninety years of age
The sexes are divided as follows
males, At; females, 81. Consump-
ton had ten victims, heart disease
eight, pneumonia nine, typhoid fever
seven and Bright's disease eight. A
large number of deaths, especially of
the old, was due to a gradual failure
of the vital powers. Excluding the
deaths of the eleven infants. the
average of each person at death was
nearly siXty-two years, remarkable
average, and it is believed that few
towns can make so good showing.
AS the population of the town of
Bennington is about 5000, the NOR
tuary record shows that there has
been only a fraction more than ten
deaths in a thouand.

To DoUBLE-TRACK The CENTRAL. =
1t is said that the enormous and con-
tinued increasing business of the Cen
trail Vermont railroad company has
brought President Smith to the con
clusion that another line must be
built from St. Adams to Essex june
ton, making a double-track road
between those places. From Essex
Junction to Bellows Falls the Cen
trail Vermont is practically a double
track road, thelines via White River
Junction and Rutland merging to-
together at the latter village. The

bans is frequently blockaded with
freight cars and trains, nearly all the

A Sure SIGN.

Two or three days ago on Jefferson
avenue car there was "a man occupying
seat while lady was standing. He
was reading his paper intently and was
evidently oblivious of his surroundings.
a Detrolter on the rear platform
watched him for five minutes. Then he
sung out to the conductor, who was in
eide taking tickets:
Conductor, will you ask that gentle
man from New York to give the lady
his seat?'
The conductor didn't obey, but the
man took the hint, slight as it was, and
as he moved out wanted to know how in
thunder anybody knew he was from New
York.-Detroit Free Press.

Equals the Slaughter of a Battle.


The synopsis of the statistics of
railways in the United States for the
year ending June 30, 1891, has just
been issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission and contains
much valuable and interesting in
formation. The part devoted to the
number of lives lost and persons in
jured during the year by reason of
accidents of one kind and another
shows that tits something appalling.
Seventy thousand and twenty-nine
were killed outright, while the num-
Der of injured was 33,SS1. This is
equal to the slaughter of terrible
battle, and if concentrated in single
event would produce a profound
sensation. OF the killed, 1850, and
of the injured, %, 40 were employees
of railroads, and in many cases the
causes of death and injury were of an
unavoidable kind. In coupling and
uncoupling ears AS lives were lost
and 9,431 persons injured; and
these casualties would be greatly re-
duced in number by the general
. lOption of automatic couplers.
Nearly 600 persons were killed and
over 5000 injured by falling from
cars and engines; and a large pro-
portion of such accidents are due to
the lack Of protection against falling
from the top of freight cars. The
greater number of other deaths and
injuries was from the collision of
trains. which could be rendered less
frequent by the general use of the
"block " system of signals. Of pas
senger the largest number were killed
and injured in collisions and derail-
m9nts and at highway crossings.
As these are spoken of as "passen-
gers" they probably do not include
persons killed and injured who were
not riding upon the cars. The grade
crossing is one of the most deadly
contrivances connected with the rail
road system of the country. tits rath-
erdepressing to learn that the killing
and manning of people on railroads
is on the increase, not only absolute
ly bat relatively to the mileage of
railroads and to the number of per-
sons carried and employed.
