abouts.
William III. Gallinger, thirty-three
years old. lives with his cousin Mrs A
+. Johnston, at 2400 Seventh Avenue
About ten nights ago, between " and u
o'clock, he went out TO mail a letter in
the box at 139th Street and Seventh Aye
nue.. AS he stood on the corner a tall
stranger approached and asked the way
to the nearest elevated railway station.
Gallinger told him
Il guess it won't do me much good, :"
remarked the man, for ! haven't money
enough for a fare
Gallinger then offered to give him a
nickel and reached into his pocket, but
a moment later he found himself con-
fronting the barrel of a pistol. and the
stranger was ordering him 10 unburden.
He had to give up his cash, which
amounted to SEQ, as well as his gold
watch and two handsome rings This
done, the man lowered his pistol, com
manded him to stand still, and disap-
peared rapidly around the corner of
14Oth Street toward the west. Gallinger
recovered himself and followed on the
run He succeeded in catching the rob-
ber near Eighth Avenue
This fellow has got all my moncy"
he called to two men sitting on stoop
across the street. Come and help ine
get it away from him
The men on the stoop, however, chose
to vanish inside their house, and Gal
linger had to take care of himself The
robber. apparently desirous of capitu-
lating, proposed that they walk to the
elevated station, only a few feet away.
''I'll give you back your stuff there"
he said.
But when they reached the station
steps he gave Gallinger a punch in the
face and fed upstairs train which
had approached as they drew near
stopped Just in time for him TO jump
aboard. but ii had started down town
before Gallinger managed TO rea3l the
platform. The police got the report tire
same night, but did not make IL public
until they announced that they had d
clue to the robbers identity. They said
they expected 70 arrest the man today.

KEPT HIS PLEDGE,

Physical Wreck.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Aug. 3.-iAlberi
Weizmann. giant blacksmith. with a
mind as powerful as his muscles, swore
of drinking few weeks ago. The other
afternoon he was sent to Jail a mental
and physical wreck. But he had kept his
word
1T is probable the struggle against tine
habit was too much for him." said Police
Surgeon Garstang. "but his determine
tion carried him through to the bitter
end and utter collapse"
Even when the doctor who called pre-
scribed whisky Weizmann hesitated be-
fore he followed the instructions. Weiz-
mann is a complete nervous wreck.
Shaking like an aspen. he could not hold
his own coffee cup or medicine spoon 20
his lips and was a pitiful sight to those
about the jail. who feared that he would
die before he could be taken to the hos

DAILY STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Market Dull and Lisess-Sentiment Still Influenced by
Failure of Bank Statement to Show Contraction of
Loans-Slight Recessions in Prices

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-Left to its own
Initiative, owing to the holiday on the
London stock exchange. the local mar
ket opened dull and spiritless. with mar
row and irregular price changes. Trans
actions in the first ten minutes included
mostly single hundred share lots. Mex
lean Central gained Is, which was the
largest fuctuation on either side of
the account. Atchison started un-
changed, but Baltimore and Ohio. Erie,
Union Pacafic. Big Four. and Steel were
shaded 1s to u. Wabash lost T.
The stock market is professional in
the extremes, the dealings partaking OF
a holiday character. Traders were In
disposed to attempt to countefact the
influence Of the unsatisfactory senti-
ment that pervades the street. On ac-
count of the failure of the bank state
ment to reflect recent enormous nqui-
dation, and lacking London quotations,
the speculation resolved itself into
slight irregular changes There was no
pressure in any direction.
Up 20 the end of the first hour no trad
ing was recorded in Reading, Sugar,
Manhattan. Norfolk and Western. and
number OF other representative Issues.
