DISAPPOINTED CRAcKSMEN.
After Blowing Open a College
Place Safe They Got Only $45.
Probably Disturbed, for They Left
Kit of Tools.

Burglars got into the wholesale liquor
store of T Altschul & Co, % and 20
College place. on Monday night and
cracked the safe They knocked of the
combination and then drilled Il hole and
blew the safe open.
All they got were some warehouse re-
ceipts. a life insurance policy and a Will.
which are Of no earthly use to any one
except Mr. Altschul. and about sii. The
burglars got into the store from avacant
building In Warren street. and then cut
Il hole in the thin wooden partition OF
the stairway. They were evidently
scared on. for they left kit of tools
in the office. which nre now In posses
sion of the police OF the Church street
station
The place where the opening was made
Is In plain view OF the street After
gaining access. the burglars proceeded
to the rear OF the place and entered
the private office. a heavy safe stands
near window opening into n light
shaft. The safe can easily be seen from
the street, as there is a glass front on
the partition separating the office from
the warerooms.

OWiTER TRIAL BEGUN AGAIN.
Nothing to Indicate that There Is n
Poet in This Jury.

The second trial OF the suit OF Leo
Owiter against the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company to recover 5000 for
false arrest and malicious prosecution
was begun to-day before Judge Newber-
ger. in the City Court
In September. 1899, Owiter. 1t is al
legged entered the service of the insur-
ance company, at their brooklyn office,
under the name Of Leo OwshowitZ.
Afterwards he secured employment in
one of the Company's New York offices.
at West Fourteenth street, under the
name OF Leo Owiter. which is said to be
his correct name.
When the Insurance Company learned
OF his former connection with the Com
pany under a different name. they had
him arrested for obtaining the position
by fraud and false pretenses.
The Grand Jury failed to indict
Owiter, and he began suit against the
Insurance Company for damages.
On the former trial the jury failed TO
agree. and In leu OF n verdict returned
to the Court several verses OF poetry,
in which they explained in IA humorous
way their failure to agree. The verses
were printed In THE Evening World"
There Is nothing In the appearance OF
the present iurymen to indicate that
there is poet among them.

STOOD BY THE DRIVER.

A broad backed young farmer had
come into Detroit by the Michigan ave-
nue. cars, says the Detroit Free Press,
and as he rode on the front platform
the driver was so civil that the young
man felt compelled to say:
you know, how TO treat fellow
white, you do and II l can ever do
anything for you I'll be right on deck"
Just then brewers delivery wagon
took the track ahead and refused to get
off at the jangle Of the bell.
Il said I'd be glad to do you a favor,
and here's the chance" exclaimed the
young man. Amy, Teller what bothers
you has got to lick me. Hey, you git
off'n the track! You won't. Ell? Wen
see If you won't And he jumped
down, seized a handy rock about as big
as goose egg, and at the end OF Its
flight 1t struck the driver in the back
and doubled him up like an old Jack:

locked wheels withasand-wagon.
Anybody else you want licked before

as he mounted the car again. Il hain't

THE BALLOON FOR WARFARE.
Ingenious Methods Employed to

The train moves along at n good round
pace, easily keeping up with or even
particular spot at which II has been
determined to commence balloon OPP
erations, which is usually on the top
of good high hill.
An ascent is an easy enough matter
and is soon accomplished. The balloon
is securely fixed TO the end of the wire
rope. and the two men who are TO
ascend take their places. At the word
OF command the men who have been
holding down the car let go, and up
shoots the balloon, unwlndinG the rope

eide Which Killed Conway.

The inquest before Coroner Shea into
the death OF Bernard Conway. which
was to have been held this morning was

pital by Mary rse a nurse. The hospital
authorities admit the overdose. but claim
II had nothing to do with the fastening
OF Conways death: that he lived as long
as he did with severe fracture OF the
skull received from falling on the Ele-
waited structure at Twenty-hrst street
and Ninth avenue. they claim, Is a sur
prise to all the medical men.

SAVED ny THEIR HORSES.
Lost Maine Men Trusted to Animal
Instinct.

Il had an experience to be remembered
once at Moosehead." said Joseph Will
Iams to Lewiston journal reporter.
Three OF us were cut on the lake one
winters day In January when storm
came up. We had a couple ~ horses
and rode on sledges made OF split birch
poles. To get home and settled in the
cabins before night came was our one
wish. but for two hours the Icy clouds
had been blowing upon the horizon and
now came down IN whirl OF snow and
icy wind. In half an hour We were lost
on the ice. Two hours later we crossed
our own tracks again and knew that We
had been going about In circle
ITO STAY out there all night would be
death, and to keep on travelling about
nimlessly meant to fall ut last eX-
haustcd Finally. as the wind blew
kcener along the level surface. and the
snow beat on our bronzed faces with
more cutting effect. we called a halt
and discussed again the chances. An old
guide who was with us suggested that We
let the horses take their own way on the
lake II seemed foolish. but we agreed
Striking the horses smart clips with
the whips. we were surprised to see
them turn each other TO the left and
start on to the east We thought that
this would take us further into the lake,
but submitted, and In half an hour the
trees along the bank doomed up through
the storm, and we were safe. A horse
knows by instinct what a man doubts
and questions In such timeA"

Competition for the egg of the Great

London Telegraph. 1t is believed that
there are but sixty-eight specimens Of
this egg in existence, and the bird itself,

In the Orkneys down to 1872 and the

and within two minutes the UNDERWATER
was under fifty feet of water. One OF
the crew standing near the gunwale at
the time of the crash was thrown over
into the water, but was rescued by the
cook.
The tugs of the Raymond Towing Com
pany saw the crash from this side OF the
river and half n dozen OF them made a
great race across. The tug Fred B. Dali
2iel reached the sinking boat first and
took off the entire crew.
Agent DalZiell. OF the Boston Towboat
Company, began to make arrangements
TO have the boat raised almost before
she had fairly settled on the bottom.
He said to an Evening World" reporter
that the engineer did not have sufficient
time to let the steam escape, and he
feared that an explosion had resulted,
which would mean the forcing of Of the
entire house.
People who were on the pier at the
time the tug went down. said that they
distinctly heard three separate muffied
explosions. Capt. Clifford said he did
not hear any.
The Underwater was built in Phila-
delphia in 1863 since which time she has
been rebuilt. She was registered at 321
tons. and was 120 feet long. "a feet beam,
and 10 feet depth of hold. Mr.. Dalzieli
valued her at $4,000.

FATAL DRUNK FOR MANY.

A curious and remarkable occurrence.
reported in the Novosti Duya, a Moscow
paper, gives some idea OF the subsection
in which the Russian peasantry are held
by King Vodka. who, as regards large
portions OF Russia, is ruler OF that coun-
try in far truer sense than the Empe-
ror himself. II appears that combined
goods and passenger train ran OF the
Riazan-Ural line. with the result that
twelve carriages were Immediately shat
tered and n large freight OF vodka ran
out on the line and formed a miniature
sea
News OF the AFFAIR soon spread to the
neighboring villages, and In a very short
space OF time these were almost depleted
OF their inha bitants, who fiocked to the
scene OF the accident to have a FREQ
drink. Throwing themselves on the
rails. they drank with such avidity that
within half an hour many OF them were
in a dying condition. and others were
only rescued from death by the efforts
OF the district physicians summoned 70
the spot. The remainder were packed
or to their homes in q state Of stupes.

NOT A CASE OF MURDER.
Drug Clerk Hollis Tomatoes and
Puzzles Several Citizens.

The snow in front OF Or. Jamieson's
drug store on SiXty-third stteet was
splashed with crimson stains and badly
trampled. At one place there was a
big red blotch, as though the rudy
fluid had formed a pool which. during
the night, had soaked into the snow.
Very few persons had appeared on the
street. says the Chicago Record. and
the stores had not yet opened when
the first man saw the stains and
stopped suddenly. He stood on the
edge Of the sidewalk and studied the red
spots A second man came around the
corner and Joined him.
