the unexpected and unannounced ap-
pearance of a trolley car, which entered
bodily through the dining-room window.
The car, No. $50 of the Nassau Elec-

Rogers Avenue and East Broadway.
II was going in the direction OF Man
haitian Beach, and being late was 60

When ii left the track il caromed up
against a telegraph spole which i'm

and then careened madly over the side

There were no passengers and the mo-

car left the rails
A wood fence formed but slight OBJ
stacle to the runaway car; It crashed
through ii and across Justice Curran's
trim-kept park lawn. ending its wild
flight by projecting fully one-third of its
length through the Justices dining-room
windows
The members of the family, who had
just sat down TO table were terribly
frightened. but no one was injured.
The trolley car was eventually hauled
back TO the track and ignominously
showed to the stable in a used-up condi-

HER MURDER A MYSTERY.
killing of Daisy Smith Appears to
Battle the Authorities.

Selin's Grove, Pa. Oct. l2-The remains
of pretty Daisy Smith lie in the parlor Of
her parents home at Boiles Run, while
the young man suspected of being her
slayer languishes in a prison cell. When
seen yesterday the mother and six sis
tiers were hysterical, but the father bore
his grief with that calmness that indi-
Gates sorrow almost unfathomable. and
bodies no good for her slayer.
The motive for the crime is still mys-
terry, as every one was Daisy's friend
and the physicians summoned by Coro-
ner Shindle declare that there are no in
dications OF felonious assault
The inhabitants OF the neighborhood
upon sober second thought, have ceased
their threats against the accused. owing
to the meager evidence against him, but
the authorities think they have the right
man.
So far as has been made public, all the
evidence that County Detective Dough-
erty has secured against young Krissin-
ger is the fact that he was seen washing
questioned concerning it, he stated that
his nose had been bleeding.
Blood was also found upon his gun
when his home was searched.
Krissinger is but eighteen years of age
and although he had been arrested about
two years ago for assaulting a young
girl. he was permitted TO go free after
serving time for the costs of the case.

The YACHT Defender.

New York, Oct. 12.-The Merritt Wreck
ing Company sent a diver to New Rochelle
yesterday, and he occupied the day from
10 O o'clock to o'clock cleaning the bottom
of the Defender. The diver used an ordi-
nary scrubbing brush, and began his work
on the starboard side at the bow. When
he finished for the day about two-thirds
of that side of the boat had been gone
over. 1t will take several days to COM
plete the work. No barnacles were found
on the yachts bottom and very little dirt
The diver was surprised that the plates
were so clean, particularly as the cutter
has been lying in her present position
more than three years. The piece of alu-
minum taken from the yacht under the
counter on the starboard side and sent
to the Herreshoffs that it's strength might
be tested has been temporarily replaced.
Some portions of the upper aluminium
plating are warped, and the bronze rivets
are loose. It Is rumored about New Ro-
chelle that the new defender will be built
entirely of aluminium, but of this there
is doubt. =

GREAT COAL and OIL deal
Rockefeller Seeks Control of
Indian Lands.
WEALTH OF THE TERRITORY
Agents of the Multi-MiIliOnaire
Have Been at Work for Year
and 1t LIS Reported That the Alb
Origines Will Sell or Lease the
Title tn Their Lands.

Wichita, Kan, Oct. 12.-The deal now On
| foot by which John D. Rockefeller Indy
come into possession of the coal and oil
| lands in the Indian Territory will be one
of the largest ever made by one rlan. It
| will involve thousands of acres of land
| make millions of dollars for Mr.. s.nckeCeI-
| Ter and give good revenue to the IN
| dians.
The total product OF Indian Territory
| coal in 1897 was more than y00,JD tons
| No report was made on oil, but one coz
| poration in Chelsea in the Cherokee ma
tion, sold more than 500 barrels in six
| months. 1t is said that this company Is
already under Rockefeiler's control.
1t Is known that J. II. Seaton, manager
| OF the company, was formerly an assist
ant superintendent of the STANDARD Oil
Company, in Philadelphia, and Edward
Bird, the Indian upon whose land it is To-
Gated, admitted that Rockefeller paid the
| bills.
Ihe report of the Department of the In
terror. in an extra census bulletin for
1894, says that the coal in the Choctaw ra-
tion is the best west of the Mississipni
River
Mr.. Rockefeller sent his agents to South
McAllister, /. T, early in the present
year, when there was much talk in
Congress of the immediate opening of
the Indian Territory. These agents made
arrangements with j. J. McAIister. John
Builett, Richard Adams and other prom
nent Indians to push a deal through the
| council to lease or sell them all of the
mineral lands in the Territory
This would comprise about six million
acres or less. If Mr.. Rockefeller pushes
this deal he can lease this land for less
than 81 an acre a year
Agents have been among the five tribes
for nearly a year now, and it is certain
they have performed their duty The
Creek council, in which nation there are
large mineral deposits. convened in ses-
sion today to accept the Dawes treaty
and the Cherokee council convenes next
eek
This deal for leasing lands will be
brought up before these bodies. in all
probability. when all facts will be let out
The Indians are reticent about informa-
tion until the deal is closed. The money
for the lease will be paid into the sub
treasury in st. Louis in yearly install
mentS.

MENDICANT'S STORY.
Beggar Burkawitz Fefgned Blind
ness TIL He Loses His Sight

New York. Oct. Pin the West Side
police court yesterday was man who
feigned blindness so long that he really
became sightless. The man was Charles
Burkawitz, n mendicant, who, on the
complaint of Mr.. Jerome. an agent of
the Charity Organization Society, was
committed to Blackwelrs Island for three
months.
BurkawitZ profited through his afffic-
ton, pretended and real, to the extent
OF thousands of dollars, given him in
charity. He is only thirty years old, but
says he has been married four times For
nearly ten years he has been a familiar
figure in the shopping district Fre-
quently he would disappear. sometimes
for month or more at time At such
times he would be in jail as a vagrant
Burkawitz, according to the story
which Mr. Jerome says the man told him.
was brought to this country from Russia
by his uncle ten years ago He was not
blind then, but his eyes were weak, and
he could turn them up SO as to suggest
blindness. 1t occurred TO the uncle that
his nephew would be a success as a men
dicant, and the young man entered that
field of endeavor. For five years, almost
daily, he appeared in the shopping dis
trict with bunch of pencils in his hand
The pencils, ostensiby, were for sale.
Seldom did anybody take a pencil but
many passers-by dropped coins into the
hat he pleadingly held out. More than
once he was arrested for refusing to
move on, but the deception he was prac-
ticlng was never detected and he was
treated with comparative leniency in the
police courts.
Burkawitz's uncle shared the profits of
his nephew'S mendicancy. One day he
decamped with $500 belonging to his
nephew. Despite his loss Burkawitz was
not financially embarrassed His sam
blindness had made him comparatively
wealthy.
He sent to Russia for his cousin. an at
tractive young woman. whom he mar
ried. She died within a year. Not long
afterward the widower engaged in an
other matrimonial venture
Standing on street corners facing a
strong light with upturned eyes, already
weak. had disastrous effect on Burka-
Wits sight. He paid no heed to the pains
and dimness of vision that threatened to-
tai blindness, and before long he was
really blind. His second wife died and
he married again.
After he was really bind he became
bolder and more impertinelt, and again
and again he was sent to Jail. Eventu-
ally he cast aside his bunch of pencils
and got a small organ. AS an organ
grinder he would often take up his stand
in front of Grace Church.
Mr.. Jerome and Policeman Loblin ar
rested the man on Monday evening. He
said then that he was living with his
fourth wife and his child. two months
old, at No l60 Lewis Street
In court he pleaded with Magistrate
Olmsted as he had pleaded often before.
He produced a tattered license permitting
him to play his hand organ on street cor
ners and said his wife and baby were
starving, but Mr. Jerome told his story
and he was sent to BlackwelTs Island.

serve the historic house, which. being

purposes is continually threatened, is in
imminent peril of destruction.
