THE FAST NAIL.

This evening, at the auditorium
will appear the great railroad mel
odrama, Lincoln J. Carriers Fast
Mail" which will be given grand
scenic production, that in many
respects promises to be one of the
most remarkable ever in this city.
The play is constructed on strictly
modern principles. The interest
starts at a terrific pace. and is not
allowed to flag for an instant. The
incidents are made doubly thrilling
by the mechanical and scenic eff
fects that are employed. There is
the rattle and clatter of a patrol
wagon as it comes down the street,
the whistles, bells, etc, of a Miss
issippi steamboat leaving her wharf
moonlight effects on the river, the
glowing furnaces of the boat, and
the explosion and breaking up Of
of the steamer. A gigantic piece of
real water scenery is presented in
the Niagara Falls scene, where the
enormous cataract is represented
with the roar ofthe water, the seeth
ing foam and the rising mist. A
freight train of fourteen cars is run
across the stage. The caboose is
lighted and the engine carries the
engineer and fireman. 1t is every
where acknowledged to be an un-
surpassed achievement in railroad
scenic effect. There seems to be no
limit to the to the possibilities of
stage mechanism, but The Fast
Mail" seems to have covered all the
gaound up to thepresent date. The
company is highly spoken of, and
the play is well constructed, with
strong tinge Of comedy to offset the
serious elements.

Yorker Commits Robbery and Dies.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Driven appa-
rently by lack of food and inability to
support his wife and child, James
Flower, % years DID, committed high
way robbery last night. When captured
he killed himself by swallowing some
prussic acid which he carried on his
person.
Mrs. Margaret Forbes was near her
home at No. 3 east Twelfth street She
carried her pocketbook, containing
$2.16, in her hand. Flower saw this
purse and grabbed it. He ran through
12Sth street toward Madison avenue
David c. Reese saw the robbery and gave
chase. Reese overlook Flower and cap
tured him with the purse still in his
hands. AS Reese caught Flower by the
collar, Flower said: "1t's all up with me
now. | did this for my wife and child"
Plumbing in one of MS pockets Flower
tossed something into his mouth and
swallowed it, Flower was removed to
the Harlem hospital and died five min
utes after he arrived. On his body were
found two letters. One was addressed
to his mother. The other was for his
wife.
The letter to his wife read as follows:
Dear Minnie-I don't know how to
struggle no longer. I have no work, can
get no money, and know you will be
better off without me. Forgive me for
this act. I can't go home and face you
today without money. L had job, but
you know my right arm is G, and
as I cannot hold hammer in
my hand, l have made up my mind to
get out of the world l have destroyed
everything in my pockets, SO no one will
know who l am. Kiss baby for me-
Don't forget to go to mother. as l wrote
to her. Forgive me for this and good
bye. JIM"
The other letter follows:
"DEAR MoTHER:-I write this to say
good bye, as L have made up my mind to
end my miserable life. l am no good to
any one. I am without money to get my
wife and child bread, and every
body would rather see me
dead any how. For Gods sake, don't
think hard of Min, for she did every
thing she could I say good bye once
more. Forgive your wav|ard son.

tors did not think the man had had any

FAIRS WILL GONE.
When the County Clerk Looked
for It,
It Had MysteriouslyDis
from It's Envelope.
SERIOUS TROUBLE
May Result for the Heirs as a
Consequence.
Diligent Search Fails to Find
the Document.
S ERTOUs TROUBLE

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 29.-The will of
the late James G. Fair was stolen from
the county clerks office some time yes
terday afternoon, and there is not the
slightest clew to the perpetrators of the
crime. The discovery was made but
half an hour before the usual time for
closing the office. Some one had come
in and asked for permission to see the
document.
will filed for probate is public doc
nment and like all papers in civil &C
lions and probate proceedings, is sup
posed to be open for the inspection of
any one who is interested in the case and
desires to see it.
The clerk who was asked to produce
the will went to the pigeon hole, where
it had been last placed He took the
bulky envelope on which was inscribed
"Last will and testament of James G.
Fair, and took it to the desk where the
visitor was waiting. When he opened it
he was staggered at the contents.
The precious document was not there.
In its place was lot of worthless paper
which had been carefully folded and in
serted in the envelope in an attempt to
delay the discovery as long as possible
Inc information was impaired to the
chief deputy. He carefully scrutinized
the envelope to make sure that the will
was really missing. A search was made
in the pigeon hole where the document
belonged. There was no sign of it any
where.
A thorough search of the entire Office,
as far as was practicable, was made
The search was fruitless. The will was
gone. There was not the slightest trace
of it. and the investigation was given up
long after the county clerks Of
fee is supposed to be shrouded
in solitude. When the chief deputy
and the other clerks, who had been ap-
prised of the theft, left the clerks office
last evening, there was not a shadow of
doubt in their minds that the will had
been stolen. Still they had hopes it
would turn up all right.
The disappearance of Fairs will is a
far more serious matter than would be
the disappearance of a will in any other
case. The great length and peculiar
verbiage of the document rem
der it almost impossible to prove
the exact language, which is
important even should there be no con-
test. Copies are in possession of the
attorneys, but if there is to be a contest
the accuracy of copies would at once be
questioned.
What is more the signature of the
dead millionaire is gone. 1t cannot be
produced for the scrutiny of experts or
| for identification by the attesting wit
nesses, whose testimony is to be offered
in support of the will on hearing of the
executors petition for admission of the
testament to probate.
