All day the hot south wind b,eg as
from furnace. The leaves OF the trees
and the blades OF grass were dry and
curled and cracked under foot. The
white fiery ball OF the sun beat down
until the air on the hill tops quivered
rs it does on the desert. Dust swept by
in clouds. envelopirg houses and trees
AID whole streets. When the wind
GAINED moment one noticed an added
ridge of whitish- brown on the window
stills. Women remained unseen within
doors, Men with powdered h air, dusty.
wilted collars, and little channels of
perspiration trickIing down their che aks,
bent their heads 10 the wind at the
street corners and hurried to business
that goes on unceasing. In the corner
OF their eyes were black specks of dirt.
and the lids were tight drawn, and
wrinkles ran from the ends TO the
temples. like one looking intently at the
sun Tor long time.
Out by the cemetery a movers wagon
crept slowly up tie little hill. The
horses heads were bent close to the
ground. A deg with limping foot fol-
lowed YEARLY, IFS tongue lolling out and
swinging fIom side to side. The black
enei canvass OF the wagon futtered
and Mapped and beat against the sides
MOSTLY. as the wind caught and whipped
it about.
On tie seat sat a man and woman.
The mans face was brown and un.
shaver and IN his eyes spoke despair
and desperation. The woman beside
bsnt over bund' in her lap ard wept
hot tear, which, falling upon a little.
wh lie. pinched fac., rolled through the
encrusting dust and dirt on to the
womsn's dress be,ox. But the tears
and the dust and the wind and the heat
striking the littl face called forth no
cry now. Still and lifeless with closed
eyes. it lay there bathei 10 the mothers
grief Fer the child was dead.
The horses md the wagon and the
limp:ng dog crept up the hill and on
over the top into the burning, glowing
distance. The wind from the southern
furnace blew all that day and many
more. The trees grew brown and bare,
the earth parched and scanned with huge
cracks. And out by the cemetery the
road glowed and glistened and quivered
under the desert sun.

KILLED WHILE STEALING 4 RIDE.
A Newsboy's Skull Fractured Near the Grand
Central Station.


Since the reconstruction of the Grand Cen
trail Station began the newsboys who sell pa
pers about the entrance have amused them-
selves by stealing rides on the trucks that carry
the iron girders from the East River to q va.
cant lot near tho building, where they are
sorted preliminary to being put in place.
John Lottogian, 10 years old. Of 237 East
Forty fourth street, who for several years had
sold papers about the station, was at Wander
bilt avenue and Forty-fourth street at dusk
yesterday when a truck laden with ten tons OF
girders swung into the avenue. Tho girders
projected behind the rear wheels OF the truck,
and Daniel Murphy, the driver, swung his
four horses around so far as they entered tho
avenue that the leaders went past the entrance
to the sorting ground. Murphy stopped the
horses and backed them. AS they hacked up
Lottogian and another boy jumped on the pro-
jecting girders, and straddling them, prepared
to ride until they were discovered.
Murphy finally brought his horses around and
started through a gate. He had to turn them
q little inside the gate, aud the girders swung
around SO that Lottogian was crushed against
a pillar. His companion tumbled Off in time
to escape unhurt, but Lottogian's skull was
fractured. He died instantly
His body was taken to the Grand Central
police station. and from there to his homo.
Murphy was arrested, but was admitted to bail
by Coroner Hoeber. Murphy had been obliged
to stop several times on his trip from the river
to the station to drive boys of the girders.

San JOSH. Cal. Nov. 22.-In Judge Iorigan's
Court to-day there was a FREQ fight and other
sensations that grew out OF the Judges attempt
to discover who had revealed the secrets of the
Grand Jury room. 1t seems that the Grand
Jury recently returned indictments against
several Justices of the Peace for crooked work
on the bench, but when these were submitted to
Lorigan he quashed them as illegal because
they were not properly drawn. The inference
drawn, was that the Judge was standing in"
with the Justices. This was published in a San
Jose.
To-day the Judge had the Grand Jury before
him and questioned each member, Juror Car

Reruse-ReducIng Plant.

MISUNDERSTANDING Plant.
Mayor Strong set his face yesterday against
one of Commissioner Warnings street cleaning
plans. Col. Warning asked the Board Of Esti-
mate and Apportionment for $4s, 900 to erect n
plant for the final disposition of street and
house refuse. The reducing plant was to DO
erected on Riker's Island and the residue was
to be used to I'LL in land around the island. The
plan involved the payment of a royalty Of about
$ls a day to the inventor of the system to be
used.
Comptroller Fitch opposed it on this ground.
Mayor Strong said that he could not approve 1t,
as he considered 1t unwise to do anything to
hamper the incoming administration. The new
Street Cleaning Commissioner. he said. might
find no use for the scheme and plant. and the
taxpayers would be hurdcned unnecessarily.
The Comptroller recalled the fact that Col.
WarinG, when he came into office, found q gar
bage disinfecting plant purchased by his prede-
cessor. II cost tho city $50. 900. yet Col. Warning
sold it by auction for $4,000. He suggested that
history, might repeat itself. Col. Warning
pleaded for his plant, but the board refused to
grant his request.

HIS Niece.

HIS Niece.
Park Policeman Edward O'Loughlin was ar
rested yesterday on a charge Of abducting his
niece. Lizette Georgi. a 14-year-old girl Of
Nyack. Rockland county, and was arraigned in
the Yorkville Court. where he gave 81 900 bail
to appear in Nyack when the hearing is fixed.
The warrant of arrest was issued BY Justice
OF the Peace William H. Christie of Nyack on
information furnished by Nathan Davis, tho
girls stepfather. He complained to the Over
seer of the Poor that the girl was liable to be-
come a charge on the town and that 0'Lough-
lin was responsible for her condition. He
added that the Park policeman was in the habit
OF visiting his house before the death of his
wife, the policeman's sister, six weeks ago.
OLoughlin said in court that Davis was at
enmity with him and tried consequently to
shift the blame for the girls condition on him.
He added that he had frequently advised his
sister to leave her second husband because he
would not do ANYTHING for her support but. on
her first husband In foolish business ventures.
Capt. C. G.. Collins OF tho Park police said
that OLoughlin had been in the department
for seven years, and that during that time there
was not a single complaint against him. His
record as a policeman was excellent.

request"
Tho lawyer FASTENED to Sergeant Kelly of the
court squad as soon as he got to Jefferson Mar
ket and inquired II Miss Irwin had arrived.
YES. she's in tho prisoners pen" nswered
the Sergeant.
The lawyer worked himself up into a hne
frenzy, ut this. and cried: she is there with
those drunks and disorderlies! Obi"
Bring her out!' he said, and she was brought.
Then his equanimity was partly restored, for 1t
was not the actress who came forth. but another
May Irwin, who was arrested on Sunday for dis
orderly conduct. The lawyer made the hest Of
1t, and got the prisoner discharged. He then
hurried Off to offer apologies TO the actress.
