70 these walls on the part of the inhab-
stants of the upper sections of New
York city is based on the fact that
they render the street SO bleak and
ugly, particularly when the walls are
high. The ideal wall is admitted to be
a low affair, with trees towering above
st, but these do not insure as much
privacy as do the high ones. AT pres
snt the whole subject of city walls and
the laws bearing upon them is being
investigated for the estate in question
by an eminent lawyer.
Nevertheless, the architectural tastes
of the wealthy New Workers are show
ing decided tendency to the wall as
insuring privacy. Whenever Gotham
millionaire gives an unusually elabor-
ate social affair the crowds of idle on
lockers make things unpleasant by
staring at the guests as they arrive and
depart. Heretofore the only way Of
avoiding the nuisance was to pay the
policeman on the beat to drive the
crowds away. And in this connection
I'm interesting narrative might be made
hp from the experiences Of the more
Fashionable portion of the metropolis
with this famous police force Of ours.
II is a regular thing for the people of
fashion to be blackmailed on the plea
that their enterta inments in the sea-
son are noisy and interfere with the
sleep of less fashionable neigh bors. not
TO speak of the impeachment TO pedes-
trians in the shape OF carriages, avn
sngs and footmen. The Astors have
been known to give money to the po-
9icemen on the beat as a Christmas
present, but the Stevenses, the Kipses
and others are declared TO be forced
into it. Perhaps, therefore. the New
York men OF millions are putting up
garden walls to protect themselves
from the police.

ALL had III HAND UP
Another Train Held Up by
Texan Bandits = Many
Shots Fired.

HENNESSEY, Okla, Dec. IL, 1884,
Following closely upon the arrest of the
men suspected. of holding up and robbing
the Texas. and Pacific passenger train
at Mary's Creek, near Benbrook, Texas,
comes another bold piece of outlawry,
the plundering of another train in the
same State. At 1:50 o'clock last night
the north bound passenger and express
train on the Rock Island Road was
stopped by three masked men about one
mile south of Red River, in Texas, and
near the Indian Territory line. The men
compelled the engineer and fireman to as
sist them in breaking open the express
car, which they entered and rifled. 1t
is believed that the job was done by mem
bers of the Cook gang, who have not
been heard from for some time. The
methods of the men implicated in last
nights hold-up were similar to those en-
ployed by the Benbrook gang. The point
where the robbery was committed is
considerable distance from the scene of
the Benbrook affair." and the men taking
part in that affair would have had ample
time to have changed the scene of their
operations.
The outlaws. who climbed over the
tender and on the engine, compelled the
engineer to stop the train, and then took
the engineer and fireman and called to
the express messenger to open the door,
which was done, but as no money is
carried at night, nothing was secured.
They then turned their attention to the
passengers, going through the cars and
robbing the passengers of money and
valuables. At present the report is that
about $500 was secured, together with
several watches.
The passengers were awakened and
compelled to hand over their valuables.
Several shots were fired into the train,
and two shots were fired at Conductor
Kannon through the open door. Pull
man Conductor Brown was struck by
a bullet which lodged in his leg. There
were three robbers, who were masked,
and after accomplishing their work they
left, going west.

Mrs Hegeman that her husband must
be dead, as he was hanging in the barn.
Mrs. Hegenaan called her children that
were at home and told them. Instead

Loss. Half a Million.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Dec. II, 1S94.-Birge's
wall paper factory, covering half square
at Niagara, Maryland and Seventh

ing, causing loss of about half a million
dollars and throwing from 500 to 200 EN-
ployes out of work The plant was
valued at s40O, 900, with 100000 of insur-
ance. There was s150,0OO worth of fin
ished goods in storage. The factory was
running to it's full capacity and over
time The fire started at four O'Clock
at Niagara and Maryland streets and
spread through the one-story frame
structure like a whirlwind- A general
alarm brought dozen engines to the
scene, but despite their efforts the entire
plant was either gutted or reduced to
ashes The surrounding property was
saved without damage.
Saloon-keeper McDonough, who lives
on the opposite corner from the factory,
says that he heard an explosion just be-
fore the flames burst out, but there is
nothing to confirm his story. The Birge
factory was the largest individual plant
of its kind in the United States and per-
haps in the world.
The Birges had persistently remained
outside of the Trust, and enjoyed an inn

MARY WALKERS ALMY CLAIM.

CONCORD, N. H, Dec. II, 1S94.-Dr.
Mary Walker is here in answer to a
notification sent her by the clerk of the
court, to the effect that the Almy reward
case was to be argued before the full
bench today.
DR.. Mary will argue in behalf of her
own claim to the reward offered for the
apprehension of the Hanover murderer.
She still insists that the man hanged
here for the crime was a suppositious
Almy, and that she caused the arrest
in Rochester, N. Y, of the real Grim
inal and genuine Almy. The fact that
the authorities saw fit to discharge him
from custody she will argue does not
affect the validity Of her claim.
