ASTO2 IS BURNED IN EFFIGY
Indignant New Workers Resent His
Becoming British Subject.
RICH DOCTOR PRIME MOVER.

New YORK, Aug 5. Surrounded by
hooting, jeering crowd of several
hundred persons, William Waldorf
Astor was burned in effigy last night
in Longacre square. DIR. f. w. Grove,
an elderly physician, who lives in his
own handsome brown stone dwelling
at No. 22S West Forty-ninth street.
was the prime mover in the incident.
He hired thirty men to assist him.
At $50 p. m. he carried big rocking
chair from his house to a truck driven
by Anthony Kemmer With it he had
an oil-soallcd barrel. On the chair he
placed lay figure CARRIED in a striped
suit, black fedora hat, kid gloves,
tight fitting trousers and good shoes.
Across the chest of the figure was
sign, two by four feet, with this
Legend "Astor, the Traitor"
The wagon. followed by crowd,
was driven down Broadway to point
near Thirty-sixth street, where the
doctor tried to make a speech, but the
police ordered him on. Up Sixth
avenue to Longacre went the wagon.
There DIR. Grove planted the barrel
on the asphalt, poured over it two
quarts of oil and applied match.
The flames cracked and licked up the
lay figure. A big hole was burned in
the asphalt pavement. The police ar
rived too late to find the doctor. He
had disappeared in the crowd. His
driver was arrested but released at the
station house. The police are looking
for DR.. Grove.
DR.. Grove has been much interested
in the reports about Mr.. Astor taking
the oath of allegiance to Queen Vic
toria. The more he read the madden
he grew. For some days he has talk
ed of little else, and his act was no
surprise to his neighbors.

Michigan People Welcome the Returning
Ex-Cabinet Oficer.
DETROIT, Mich, Aug 4. -Whatever
may have been the personal feelings
of the late secretary of war, General
Russell A. Alger, concerning recent
incidents of his official career, all SEN
timents save those of genuine happi-
ness were very evidently banished
yesterday afternoon and evening by
the magnificent welcome rendered
him by the people of his own city and
saate.
From o'clock, when the welcom-
ing committee crowded into his pri-
vate car upon it's arrival at Toledo,
until 9 o'clock, when the general
ceased grasping outstretched hands,
the scene was a constant and spon-
taneous ovation. Smiles and tears
repeatedly struggled for the mastery
over the secretary's bronzed counten-
ance, as he gazed into the eager faces
of the multitudes who loudly and con-
vincingly insisted that "Alger's all
right" and no dissonant voice was
heard
