DARING DIAMOND ROBBERY
STANFORD JEWELER VICTIM OF
Il POLISHED THIEF.

latter Entered the Store of Alexander
Weed About seven O'Clock last Night
when the PrOprIetor's Back Was
Turned for Moment the RObber
Took Over 1000 Worth of Jewels aud
skIPped-Escaped After a Hard Chase
Stamford. Nov. 1S.-One of the most
daring and successful robberies ever
perpetrated in this city took place ear
ly this evening in the jewelry store of
Alexander Weed, and as a result that
merchant lost diamonds valued at
about $4,000.
About Z o'clock a stranger entered
the store and requested Mr.. Weed to
show him some diamond rings. The
jeweler produced a small tray contain
ing three rings. The supposed pur-
chaser con eyed the impression that he
was unabl- to make a desirable selec-
tion from so small a variety, and Mr..
Weed took another tray, containing
eighteen rings from the case and plac-
ed it before the man. At this juncture
Frederick Sackett, New York messen-
ger, entered and retired to the further
end of the store.
Mr.. Weed left his customer for mo-
ment to converse with Sackett, and he
had been doing so but moment when
the stranger made a hasty exit, saying
as he went out the door: II have got
what I wanted" Mr.. Weed perceived
in a moment that the man had pur-
loined every ring in the two trays. He
and Sackett Immediately gave chase,
shouting as they ran to attract the at
tention of persons on the street. The
robber ran half a block up Atlantic
avenue, where he disappeared behind
the opera house. From here he made
his way through several back streets
and eluded his pursuers. 1t is thought
that he made direct for the country. A
large party was Immediately organized
to search for the man, but at midnight
he had not been found; indeed, the po-
lice were unable to get any trace of
him.
Two of the diamond rings taken from
the store were found on the ground
near the opera house, evidently having
been dropped by the robber in his haste
to escape. This leaves him in posses
sion of nineteen rings, one valued at
$500 and the others ranging in price be-
tween $50 and 5000.
The robber is described as a man
about forty years old. very well built
standing about six feet two inches in
height and weighing 225 pounds. He
was we'll dressed and his manner and
speech indicated that he was well ed
ucated. He wore long black over
coat and derby hat Of the same color.
He had very small mustache appar-
emily of recent growth. Mr.. Weed
carries a large and valuable stock OF
diamonds, and says that his loss will
reach about $4,000.
The police of Stamford have sent
broadcast a description of the robber.
The New Haven police were notified
about o'clock last night.

Continued Activity of the Voiean.

London, Nov. 18.-The governor of
the Windward islands has sent a dis
patch to Colonial Secretary Chamber
lain in which he says the prospects OF
the inhabitants of the island of st. Vim
cent are blacker than they have ever
been. He believes that Georgetown
will have to be abandoned while it is
doubtful if any part of the island is out
of the range of danger of La soufriere,
which he describes as ''the terrible vol
cano"
The dispatch adds that the southeast
ern end of the island to which the in
habitants of the district around La
Soufriere have fed in the hope of safe
ty is sadly off for water and IF more
people are crowded there they will not
be able to exist. No term can be fixed
to the action of the mountain and the
people cannot go on like this indefinite

Other Roads in the Vicinity.
Philadelphia, Nov. 1S.-The following
circular letter was issued to-day to the
heads of all departments by the Phila-
delphia & Reading railroad officials:
Taking effect November 1, 1902 the
wages of all employees will be equalized
with those paid by railway companies
in this vicinity. Detailed instructions
will be supplied on application.
By order of the president:
Theodore Voorhees,,
First Vice President"
The increase will not take the form
of 10 per cent. general advance as
was the case Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road company, for the reason, 1t is
said, that many Reading employees are
now receiving higher salaries than
those paid by the Pennsylvania and
other roads in this section.

New York, Nov 1S-Mrs. Lena Dox
heimer, who asserts that until she be-
came a member of the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Hoboken two
years ago, she was associated with an
anarchistic society of that place, is re-

moment of religious ferver and excite
ment a story of alleged anarchist plot
ting against the life of President

moving the president. One of these,
a Frenchman named Meloy, she says,

Want INQUIRY EXPEDITED
COAL COMMISSION DISSATISFIED
WITH THE PROGRESS.
Gray Reminds the Operators
Attorneys of the Value of Time
AIItcheII's Fourth Day on the Stand
Showing Signs of WEAKNESS OF the
CeaseIess Examination, but Still
Maintains His Fine witness Powers,

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 1S-President
Mitchell for the fourth successive day
occupied the witness stand during the
two sessions of the strike commission
to-day, and was cross examined by
three attorneys for as many coal COM
panies. While a considerable amount
of information for the enlightenment
of the commissioners was brought out,
the day was a rather quiet one, COM
pared with those which have preceded
it. The arbitrators are growing rest
less in consequence Of the long cross
examination, which apparently does not
bring out the facts as quickly as the
commission would like to have them
presented. Several times during the
course of to-day's session Chairman
Gray reminded the attorneys of the
value of time, and suggested that the
cross-examination be limited to new
features of those questions that have
already been gone over. The lawyers
| assured the commission that they, too,
were anxious to expedite matters and
would do everything possible to avoid
losing time.
Mr.. Mitchell is showing signs of wea-
| riness from the strain of the cross-ex-
animation, which has lasted since Fri
| day. Thus far his attorney, c. 8. Dar-
M, I,a
| ware and Hudson; Wayne MacVeagh,
for the Erie; Francis l. Gowen, for the
Lehigh Valley, and W. w. Ross, for the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company, has examined the miners
president. The commissioners to-day
| for the first time entered into the dis
cussion with the lawyers and the wit
ness over disputed points which arose
from time to time.
Mr.. MacVeagh, who began his cross
examination of Mr.. Mitchell on Satur-
day, concluded at II o'clock this morn
| ing. The distinguished attorney CEN
tered most of his energies in trying to
| break down the miners reasons for
asking for yearly agreement with the
companies on hours Of labor, wages and
other conditions, which, if made, would
be recognition of the union. Mr.. Mae
Veagh's principal aim throughout his
questioning of Mr.. Mitchell was to
show that the mine workers union, be-
cause of alleged acts of intimidation,
and the use of the boycott by its mem
bers, proved itself unfit to be a party
| to a contract. Mr.. Mitchell would not
admit, nor even assume, for the sake
of illustrating points, that a reign of
terror existed In the anthracite fields
during the last six months. The recog-
milton Of the union is looked upon as

WORK ON NEW DEFENDER.
Pig Lead for the Keel Arrives-Shape OF
the Mould.

Bristol, r. l., Nov. 1S.-Activity of
workmen in the boat shops of the
Herreshoffs was especially noticeable
to-day, when pig lead for the
keel of the new cup defender, some
thing like forty tons, arrived from
Kansas City. The wooden mould for
the keel is completed and it is being
banked with clay as it sets upright on
a marine cradle. The mould is much
after the shape of that used for the
Constitution, but the ends look sharp
er. The lead will be melted probably
under cover instead of in the open as
in the case of the Columbia and the
Constitution.

ranged to hunt to-day with a party Of

MISSISSIPPI HUNT.
Camp Broken Yesterday Afternoon
After an Unsuccessful Chase by the
President la the Morntng-Takes His

Gets a Doe-The start for Memphis.

Smedes, Miss, Nov. 1S.-President
Roosevelt's bear hunt In Mississippi is
ended and he has not had even a shot
at a bear. The last day of the chase
was simply repetition of the three
preceding days, so far as his luck was
concerned. Try as the hunters would,
they could not get a bear within range
of the presidents rife.
The dogs got fresh trail early this
morning and the president and Holt
Collier followed it half a dozen miles
to the Big Sunf1ower river. The bear
crossed mile below the ford; they
went to this point, and, believing he
was making for the cane brake on the
other side, they endeavored to head him
off. When the hunters got into the
brake, however, they were disguised to
find that the bear had doubled on his
tracks and crossed the river still fur
ther down. 1t was then 1 o'clock, and
as arrangements had been made to
break camp at 2;30 o'clock the presi-
dent was reluctantly compelled to
abandon further pursuit of the elusive
bear.
