New ! ork day express, which passes Brat
tleboro at 4:35. The train bore to Spring
field a man who said he was John g.
Peene, jr., the mayor Of \ onkers. y. Y,
who claimed that he had been robbed of
$1,000 on the train George Miller, the
conductor Of the train, said the first init
nation he had of anything wrong was lust
as the train pulled into the station, when
Peene rushed up TO him excitedly and said
he had been robbed of $1,000 He made
no explanation and as soon as the train ar
rived jumped hurriediy of. Miller sum
mOned an officer, but Peene could not be
found. 1t proved that he had rushed over
TO the opposite end and side of the station.
where he had spied the man who, ne
claimed, had robbed him, This man made
a break over into a neighboring lumber
yard and up Chestnut street TO the bridge,
when he climbed up the bank to the sta
ton again and boarded the 6:24 Boston d.
Albany train for Boston. In answer TO
Peene's shouting the train was stopped for
a minute, but Immediately pulled ahead
again, bearing with il the alleged culprit.
Peene refused to tell what happened on the
train, but cut the amount of his loss down
TO $1,000. The curious thing was that he
wouldn't telegraph to Palmer TO have the
man arrested and would give the police no
particulars. The most reasonable theory is
that Peene and others had been playing
cards in the smoker and that Peene had
lost either at poker or had been fieeced by
some sharpers. Conductor Miller says,
however, that he did not notice any card
playing on the train. Mr.. Miller says that
it is not unusual for men on the train to
set up the cry that they had been robbed,
although in this case there had been no
disturbance and no inkling of a robbery
until the train had arrived in Springfield.
A Yonkers despatch says Peene denies
indignantly that he played poker on the
train and asserts that his pocket was
picked.

President Moss VIII Fight.
suit for $4,000 for SANDER has been
brought against Frank b. Moss, president
of the New York police board, by Oscar
Hammerstein, proprietor OF the Olympia"
of that city. Hammerstein alleges that at
a meeting of the police board, May 3. the
defendant made a public statement, ma
liciously accusing him of being the pro-
prietOr OF an immoral resort. He saws
that he has been Inundated and disgraced
by the commissioner statement, in conse-
quence of which he has suffered to the ex-
tent OF $4,000, The case grows out of
one of the minor differences of the police
board. The commissioner could not agree
whether or not 10 punish Policeman Elan
agan for arrestlng a state excise inspector
whose presence at the Hammerstein es-
adjustment displeased its owner. The DO
liceman said that he did not know the in
spector's badge Commissioners Moss and
Andrews thought he should be punished;
Grant and Parker thought not. He was
finally reprlmanded. In the course of the
discussion it is alleged that President Moss
called the Hammerstein place disorderly
house, hence the suit. Mr.. Moss has no
recollection of having made such a state
ment and he will fight the case TO the Bit
ter end. President Moss is a son-in-law
of Z. f. Bruce of South Newfane and he
has spent several vacations at the Bruce
homestead. He has often visited in Brat
tleborO. His recent appointment 10 the
police board was noted with pleasuTebyhis
Newfane friends. He was the confiden-
tial adviser and attorney of DR.. Parkhurst
IN his campaign against crime and vice in
New York few years ago.

that, in order to consume the allotted
four hours, the ship was spun around
twice before starting back For thirty
minutes and forty-fiFe seconds she kenr

the line again, passing the last mark

an average of 1642 knots an hour. d

sing the fifth mark boat the speed of
the battleship did not apparently vary

of course. that the buoys were in the
right position. The fourth third and
second legs of the course were all made
In exactly the same time, twenty-five
minutes and fOrty-two seconds, so thar
when the second mark boat was pas
sed the ship was only six nautical miles
from the finish and glory, and the
reckoners had figured that, barring ac-
cidents, she would make something
over seventeen knots. But there before
the snip, was the handicap of the
course, the shallow water, a fact which
had already held back her sister ships,
cutting down their premiums in more
than one instance Knowing this. every
effort was made to get every pound or
steam on. and every inch of power.
The seconds licked off steadily as she
hurried herself on, the mark boat and

whether she would get to the line in

that the burning out Of the dynamo
was due to the collection of copper
dust on the interior of the machine He
thought it possible to repair the dyna-
mo so that the electrocution could take
place, but the probability of another ac-
cident induced the board Of managers
to question the advisability of proceed
ing with the eIectrocution. If the
electrocution should fail or there should
be any scene, they would be condemn
ed by the public. Conference was ac-
cordingly sought with Gov Bushnell

demned man a respite until the dynamo

to previous custom the death warrant
had been read to Haas during the af-
ternoon. He was found playing check

when the warrant had been read, re-

COLUMBUS, O., April 7.-Although
Gov. Bushnell refused this afternoon
to commute the sentence of William
Haas the Cincinnati murderer, the
electrocution will not take place Thurs
day morning At $3.50 this afternoon,
while final test Of the electrical ma
chinery at the penitentiary was being
made, the dynamo burned out. The
machinery had been tested five times
previously, and the dynamo had carried
1,50O to 1000 volts readily. The final
test was just being finished when the
accident occurred, and the attendant in
the electrocution room stated the cur
rent then registered only 500 volts, al
though it had registered as high as
1,80O volts during the test. AS no one
was in the dynamo room at the time
of the accident except the prisoners de-
tailed to take care Of the machinery,
some of the officials suspected that the
dynamo had been tempered with, but
the prisoners denied the imputatlon.

BATTLESHIP IOWA EARNS S2OO, 900
The Queen of the American Navy.

BOSTON, Mass, April THE battle
ship Iowa, the last of the premium
built battleshipS of the navy, earned
today, for her builders, Messrs VIM
Cramp & Son, Of Philadelphia, $500, 900
by making an average of seventeen
knots an hour over the regular govern
ment course off the Massachusetts
coast, in the four-hour speed trial re-
quired by the government under the
contract. The Iowa, by her grand
work, proved herself to be superior to
either the Indiana or Massachusetts,
by a considerable fraction of a knot
and is today the acknowledge queen of
the American navy, If not the most
formidable battleship afoat.
The weather could not have been
surpassed. A light northerly air, shift
ing to northeast just as the trial be-
gan, helped the forced draught consid-
erably, and, as it shifted around still
further to the east On the run back
it did not hamper the work of the big
blowers. The trial board came down
from the city about o'clock, and with
them were some 200 guests of the build
ers, as we'll as many naval officers sta
toned in and about Boston.
The ship got under way almost i'm
mediately. heading straight for the
twin lights of Cape Ann, and after
run of over an hour, the first boat
mark was sighted with the black buoy
floating, denoting the 33 knot course.
Like race horse, not quite prepared
for her great effort, the Iowa scored
twice, running up to within a mile of
the line and then shying off out to sea,
in order to bottle up a little more steam
and develop a few hundred more horse
power. At the very outset of the trial
1t was evident that every one Of the
picked crew was in dead earnest The
wake left straight out astern showed
that the steadiest of pilots, Lew Cham
bers, was at the helm, while the reg
ular rumble of the engines and OF the
twin screws denoted that another mas
ter hand, hidden from sight, was di-
recting the pOnderous machinery.
There was not the slightest devia-
tion in the course as the ship rushed
by the second mark boat, making the
leg In 1880, which was very satisfac
tory. In the very next leg of the
course the ship began to show what
was in her for she topped the seventeen
knots an hour record by averaging a
tenth over. This was still further in
creased on the next leg to 17.n. bu:
on the fourth there was a falling off
which was decided in the last. the speed
running down to 1886. 1t was proven
however, that the last leg of the course
was somewhat long.
While the ship was preparing for the
run back. the ready reckoners on hoard
figured that on the run down to Boom

dangerous rule to adopt this late in
the session. Senator w. E. Johnson
and others also opposed the resolu-
ton. Senator Wyman said it would
be unjust to the members who were
on committees in session. 1t was finally
referred to the committee on rules.
Senator French asked the passage Of
his resolution requiring committees to
report on all bills at once.
Senator Masterman opposed the res

was not strange, as the state prison
committee had bad bills pocketed for
six weeks. and in reply to the query
of Senator Masterman, cited the Ferris
capital punishment bill, which Sena-
tor Masterman denied had been re-
ferred to the committee.
