New York, Aug. 2l-Railroad detectives
are looking today for three lads. not one
over ten years of age. who tried to wreck
a northbound train on the Pennington
branch at Ringoes. n. J.. last evening.
The train was made up of a combined
smoking and baggage car and passenger
coach when it left Lambertville at ;
o'clock. Forty passengers were on board.
The train passed Browns station, going
forty miles an hour. and started around
the sharp curve which terminates in
deep cut. when Engineer Cooley saw
pile of ties on the track in the cut. He
reversed the lever. and. applying the air
brakes, slackened the speed OF the train,
but the locomotive dashed into the OBJ
struction- The trains speed had been
SO checked. however. that the locomotive
just butted the pile of ties. throwing some
of them TO one side, and did not leave the
track. Engineer Cooley had seen three
boys Chamber up the side of the cut just
before the obstruction was reached He
told the conductor. who sent Brakeman
Hillpot after the lads, but the brakeman
could not catch them. He described
their appearance 10 a farmer. who be-
Heves he can identify them.

NO VENGEANCE ON sPANIARDs
Editor in Ponce Who Demanded
ReIribption Is Arrested.

Ponce. Porto Rico, Aug. 20-La Nueva
Era, an afternoon newspaper. establish
ed the day after the occupation of this
city by United States troops, was tenn
porarily suppressed yesterday by the
United States mAitary authorities be-
cause of the publication Of an article
headed Vengeance" The article called
upon Porto Ricans to destroy Spanish
property and prevent Spanish shopkeep-
ers from doing business.
This is a serious offense in view of the
demonstrations of the last few. nights in
various towns in the southern part of
the island against Spanish residents
Spanish shopkeepers in Ponce are now
afraid to open their places of business
The native police are powerleSS to curb
the spirit of the mob, and it is doubtful
whether they would If they could
La Nueva Era's presses were stopped
after the first edition had been put in the
street. Its editor was arrested on the
charge of inciting mob to violence.
This action and the determined attitude
of the provost guard. it is expected will
bring the citizens quickly back to an or
derly mood
Spanish outrages in the northern part
of the island continue, and the local pa
pers have published a list of the victims
at Ciales and other places. Among the
names are those of many young girls
who have been illtreated by Spanish SOL
diers. Gen Miles probably viii commu-
nicate with Capt. Gen. Macias about the
matter.

GRAVE ROBBERS AT WORK.
Evidence That Newly Inferred Bod
les Were Stolen at EInsoHf, l.. 4.

New York. Aug. 20.-Residents of Hemp
stead, L. l.. and surrounding villages have
been aroused to the greatest Indignation
by the discovery OF evidence that grave
robbers have been at work in the Vicin-
ity- Extraordinary measures have been
taken to prevent recurrence of the out
RACES. In some cemeteries armed men
patrol all night long. ready to send bull
let into any person who might attempt TO
despoil the graves.
Several attempts have already been
made to steal newly inferred bodies from
Elmont. and IL feared that in some cases
the ghouls may have been successful. for
fresh earth has been found strewn around
new graves. An investigation will be made
by the authorities. and the result is anx-
iously awaited by the villagers.
Robbers were heard at work a few
nights ago in the Elmont Cemetery by
Mrs. Burdenhauser, wife Of the rector OF
the parish. She aroused several neigh
bors. and Constable Thorn and a party
armed with reyolvers and shotguns hur-
ried to the burial ground. The robbers
had a wagon and horse in the road out
side, and when they heard the men ap-
preaching they leaped the fence and escap-
ed, though some of the angry citizens
gave chase along the road on foot, until
they were out Of breath.
In the cemetery a pick and a long piece
OF rope were found. where they had been
dropped by the thieves as they fled.

FRACTION OF TIME.

(special cablegram- -Copyrighted.

Especial cabiegram- -Copyrighted.)
London, Aug. 2O.-The acme of preci-
sion has apparently been reached by a
Berlin c!ockmaiser named Lobner. who
has just perfected mechanism for meas
uring and recording the thousandth part
of second. 1t consists of a clock mount
ed on a movable carriage with a dial
plate Of three meters diameter at the edge.
The latter has two concentric rings. the
outer marked with 3e0 degrees, the inner
divided into two hundredth parts The
clockwork moves a single hand at the
rate of five complete turns in a second,
thus enabling the one thousandth part
OF a second to be read on the inner ring.
The instrument would be ruined by
stopping the hand suddenly and the eye
could not follow the pointer. so photo
glaphic apparatus is used to record the
time. Twelve open cameras are arranged
in a circle behind a revolving disk two
meters in diameter, which is provided
with a hole admitting light TO the plates.
As il passes before them, the disk re-
wolves twenty times a second. so that
light is admitted to the twelve plates, one
after the other, in the space OF one
twentieth of a second The pictures
thereby obtained show the position of the
hand on the dial and the object which
is being observed. The apparatus is use
fuI for measuring the speed of bullets,
falling objects, etc. 1t is possible to take
>. $50 photographs in a second.

neglected looking, the poorest and the
most unkempt looking prisoner in the

planned to the court that the Frenchman
had $3.50 IL his clothes.
Asked how he got so much money Re-
veare sad that it was his savings for
some years. Wh2a he had enough he
would go back 10 France.
All the twenty franc gold pieces he had
wrapped ia tissue paper to keep the coin
bright. In his trousers pockets. his vest
pockets, inside and outside, his coat and
in the lining of his vest he had the coins
hidden.
As the money was being taken from
him in the police station it was placed in
hat. and it made a hatful
Gold and bank bills were in Reyeare's :
hoard which was distributed about his
clothes. He said that he was empIoyed I'm
the kitchen of the Windsor Hotel IN
Fifth Avenue. and that he had saved his
wages Tor years. He said he turned his
money as soon as possible into French
gold. He never could trust a bank with
MS money and whenever he got any he
wrapped II up and slowed it away
Magistrate Simms told Reyeare that he
ought to be thankful to the police IF If
had not been for them, the magistrat re
said, the woman he Quarrelled with
might have had ii all.
