LONG DELAY FOR HOMEGOERs.
Trolleys Stalled on Bridge and In brooklyn
in Rush Hour.

A big portion OF the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit system was effectually tied up
for more than an hour last evening when
the rush from Manhattan was at it's height
causing one Of the most complete trolley
traffic blockades in the history Of the bor-
ough At about $50 o'clock every trolley
car on the bridge and in the lower part
Of Brooklyn came to a sudden stop through
the cutting of Of the electric current
The bridge cars bound for Brooklyn
were packed with passengers, and az the
minutes passed without any prospect Of
relief many persons got of and either
walked to Brooklyn on the roadway or
returned to the Manhattan terminal to
fight their way to the bridge trains.
The crush to the trains was SO terrific,
however that hundreds of people hurried
to the ferries,
At 7 o'clock all the lower thoroughfsres
in Brooklyn. as we'll as the bridge, presented
an array of stalled cars such as never has
been witnessed there before. The blocked
cars extended up Fulton street from the
ferry all througih; the shopping district, s,. !,
avenue, Washington street. Sands street.
Adams street, Atlantic avenue and Court
street
Although the mishap which caused all
Rapid Transit system. th- De Kalb avenue
line was also paralyzed. its cans being
hemmcd in by those OF the other company.
General Manager j. F. Catherwood Of
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company ex-
planned that the tie-up was caused by the
cutting of Of the electricity in the switch
box al tho Wallabout Basin. where the
submerged cable, which supplies the cur
rent for the bridge and downtown traffic.
extends from the Kent avenue power house
In the shifting Of the electric power from
one district to another blazr was started
through the grounding Of the wires and
the power was cut on.
The damage was repaired, Mr. Gather
wood said In the quickest time possible.
Some passengers remained on the cars
during the long blockade, but most Of them
became wearied, got out and either walked
home or took tho elevated trains. 1t was
after o'clock before the trolley tangle
was Strengthened out.

Into the Woods.

MOUNT VERNON, n. Y. June 23.-After
the commencement exercises tonight at
the Mount Vernon High School twelve
boys OF the graduating class we're kid
mapped by the High School alumni and
carried OF to the woods.
Their captona, numbering about nifty,
had followed them to an ice cream parlor
and when they came out had pounced upon
them and tied them with ropes, after which
they put them aboard trolley cars and
carried them away in the direction Of the
Tuckahoe woods.
The scuffle between the graduates and
their captors occurred in the street, and
some women who were returning from
the exercises became badly frightened
The police heard Of the affair and at mid
night Roundsman Reilly and several cops
left for the woods.
They were instructed not to interfere
unless the horseplay became too violent
One of the kidnapped graduates was Will
liam Lyle, colored youth.
The same thing occurred last year. when
the male graduates were taken to the woods
and bound to trees. They gnawed the
ropes and set each other free. and then had
to walk home from the Tuckahoe woods,
as the last trolley car had gone.

LoaANspoRr, Ind. June 23.--William
Herrell, an ex-convot. has successfully
eluded the marshals Of two villages, the
police of Peru and Logansport, three Pan
handle detectives and q posse OF fifty
farmers. After spending the entire day in

and abandoned the pursuit.
Herrell was sighted early this morning
in clunp of woods. He was surrounded
and the posse beat the bushes cautiously
for hours, well aware that Herrell was
fully armed and desperate. He had vowed
not to be taken alive, and the officers ex-
pected to shoot him on sight. When the
circle narrowed down it was found Herrell
had slipped through the line.
Early Monday morning, il is alleged
Herrell went to the Lake Erie station at
Bunker Hill, where he amused himself
by shooting at passengers in the waiting
room. Then he went TO Kings saloon,

1000 BARBEPs AFTER ODELL.
Because He Left Italians or Their Ex.
amininE Board.

Teutonia Hall was full Of Romans last
night when 1000 members OF the Italian
BARRIERS Bene VIOLENT Society assembled
to lambast Gov Odell for not putting an
Italian on the Board Of Barber Examiners.
James March, Republican leader Of the
Sixth Assembly district, which includes
Mulberry street, also caught it. He won't
be leader long if the other voters Of the
Italian colony help the BARRIERS to carry
out their threats of last night.
In their resolutions the BARRIERS declared
their belief in BARRIERS examiners, BARRIERS
colleges and all other institutions to -ele-
vate our art" They related how two
efficient Italians who had been recon-
mended TO the Governor were ignored
altogether, which fact was cited in the reso-
lutions as "another indication OF the unfair
treatment accorded natives OF Italy who
have made this country their land by adop-
ton, as we'll as to the large number Of citi-
zens bv inheritance of foreign extraction"
Then in behalf Of the country at large
the BARRIERS resolved:
To call upon all citizens Of Ita lian birth or
parentage TO. exercise their right OF free
sDSse and e Of our snse h. N
ecutive toward their race as an act I'M
worthy of and uneecomnH Governor Of
institutions OF this form Of free and popular
government, where race. birthright and
religion should play no part IN the shaping
OF governmental policies and the orderly
administration Of the law.
Joseph Freechi, an Italian lawyer, told
how much more honored the BARRIERS were
in the time of Henry VIII, when they were
bloodletters by design as we'll as by acci-
dent, than they are now in the reign of
Emperor Ben. II was basso for Ben and
bromo for the BARRIERS for the rest Of the
meeting, Freschi said that il he should
make such speech in another country he
would be -rddled with bullets.
The 1000 Italians rose in a body, with
out any prompting from their chairman
when the band played ~The Star-Spanged
Banner and their greatest enthusiasm
was shown when one speaker after another
told them that they were American citizens.
Chevalier Joseph Francolini, a member
of the Board Of Education and president Of
the Italian Savings Bank. said:
Don't protest vote. Vote and have
patience, for the Gsy will come ard VIC
ltelisns will be on top. In the bank Of
which I am president there are deposits
Of 81 10000 belonging to the poor, hard
working Italians OF this city. In all the
saving banks OF the city the Italians have
S25 900 ,OO0 al d they own H0,0O0,0Oi worth
Of real estate. That means something.
"The time will come when tho sensa-
tional American press will give up the
habit OF creditng every mysterious crime
to the Italians. Now, when there is a
murder that they cannot solve, they say,
oh, well, it was the dago, the stiletto man..
But 1t won't always be 80.
