he frequently had large sums of money on
him, and they thought he did his banking
in his own home. 1t was with an idea of
getting some of this money, 1t is thought,
that three men called at the house this
morning.
According 10 Mrs. Garegarne's complaint,
the three men called at the house soon af-
ter her husband and Sperro George had

Two of them, she said. came upstairs TO

the weapon on her, she said, he demanded
money. but she had none TO give him.
Finally the men were frightened away
and she went and found her husband. De-
tective Rhodes heard the woman's COM
plant. She does not know the names OF
the men. although. she says, she will be
able to identify them.

hnhdsOme Structure Nearly Com
pieted on Mt. Royal Avenue.
An army of mechanics. under the general
superintendent of Chief Engineer Man.
ming of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company, is today engaged in putting the
finishing touches on the new Mount Royal
avenue station of the company in Balti-
more, as i is desired to open the depot for
travel tomorrow morning, at which time
the new shops of the road at Cumberland
will also be put into service, the terminals
of the second and third and the Pittsburg
divisions established at the same city and
number of changes made as to the Off
cial locations of various officers, the names
Of which have appeared in The Star from
time to time.
The train shed is about 43O feet long, and
the flooring Is laid flush with the tracks,
so that passengers Will have no difficulty
In walking across them to and from the
trains. By the plan adopted the ballast
and ties are completely covered and only
the rails are exposed. The platforms are
composed OF thick patent stone, and every
thlng about the place is substantial. A
flight OF granite steps leads from Mount
Royal avenue to the new station and there
is slso wide driveway, bordered by grass
pats. The shed will be covered. with wired
glass.
The new station. which, as already stat
ed, presents beautiful appearance, is
built Of Port Deposit granite, with trim
mings of Indiana limestone, and Is of the
Renaissance style of architecture. The
central portion Of the structure is but one
story in height, giving very high ceilings
to the two waiting rooms.
1t is expected that it will take almost the
entire month of September to entirely fin
ish the station and it's surroundings. The
electric overhead work for the Belt line
motors is being rearranged. In the train
shed 1t is hung from the trusses, the heavy
trolley poles Of bridge work having been
removed at that point to prevent their be-
ing in the way of passengers and employees.
There are five tracks, with switches. just
inside the big bell-shaped mouth Of the
tunnel, SO that trains stopping at the new
station cah be taken in close to the gates
If need be.
The opening of the new station afforded
an opportunity to Receiver Murray to pro-
mote a faithful employe, Mr. Lawrence
McC. Boyd, who for six years past was
night ticket examiner at Camden station,
and Mr.. Boyd has already entered upon
the duties Of his rev and responsible posi-
ton as station master. Mr.. Boyd was for
merly a resident of Winchester, Va, where
many of his relatives now live.
