Young Man Showed From Crowded Plat.
form and Killed.
An unidentified man, apparently about
80 years old, was ground to death by a
southbound Second avenue elevated train
at Fulton and Pearl streets just as the train
was coming into the Fulton street station at
O'Clock last evening.
The station platform was crowded at the
time, and as the train approached there
was surging toward the edge Of the plat
form. The man was standing near tho
edge and apparently was pushed OF by the
crowd behind him. The train was almost
upon him and before he could pull himself
out Of the way tho front wheels passed
over his body. The jolting was the first
intimation Of the accident that Motorman
John Higgins had.
The body was wedged in between the
wheels in such way that 1t was necessary
to send for wrecking crew and jack UP the
car before it could be taken out. This took
fully half an hour, and meantime the road
was blocked, long line of trains being
stalled above Fulton street.
In the dead mans pockets we're several
receipts bearing tho name Of j. N. Barr Il
Co.. 1so Front street. The store was closed
last night. There were also two cards is
sued by the New York Cotton Exchange
authorizing NJ. +. Quinn to be q weigher
and inspector. The dead man was about
six feet tall, with dark complexion and
hair and wore dark suit.

Air Meeting In Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 22.-The single takers

broke up in riot at noon to-day. Con-
gresham Robert Baker Of New York city
got into controversy with Anton j. Sch oler.
driver of sprinkling cart, and both accom-
Panied a patrolman to a station house.
William Everett Hicks of New York. who was
speaking at the time was drenched by the
water from the sprinkling cart
Congressman Baker, who was on the out
skirts Of the crowd at the meeting, ordered
the driver to halt. An alteration resulted,
which was closed when Scholer whipped up
his team and drove through the crowd.
Baker, who was clinging to the horses, was
half knocked down.
Scholer then steered his team SO that
stand on which Hicks was standing. 1t
twisted the stand around. and Hicks was
forced to Jump of. As he did so, Scholer
pressed the lever, and a stream Of water
drenched Hicks TO the skin.
Congressman Baker was In the rear Of
the wagon anxious to renew his argument
with the driver, and he. too, was the re-
cipient Of large dose of water. Then the
driver turned his wagon about in the middle
of the crowd, and every one who was in
range was more or less dampened.
When Scholer stopped his wagon Baker
ran to the head Of the team again. Soholer
and Baker got into row, and Scholer
struck Baker over the head with his whip
several times. Then a policeman came
up and placed both under arrest.
Baker was discharged, as there seemed
to be no reason for his arrest, unless the
driver wished to prefer charges against
him. Baker. however, swore out warrant
for Scholers arrest, charging him with

no TAKE ADDICKyS ESTATE.
His Newport Residence to He Used by ths
War Department for q Signal station.

NEWPORT, r. I. Oct. 22.-The Government.
through the War Department, has decided
to take the estate Of J. Edward Addicks In
Newport for purposes Of defenoe, and
as a result MIR. Addicks will leave Newport
as summer home. Several years ago
he bought the place situated on Beacon
Hill, and known as Belvoir, and the first
summer he owned it he rented 1t to Mr..
and Mrs. William T. Vanderbilt, Jr. He
hes since occupied it at times.
Some time ago the War Department
officers, while looking over land in this
neigh borhcod to be used for signal and
searchlight stations, decided that tho Ad-
dicks property was one Of the places wanted.
and the announcement is now made that
it will be taken. The estate comprises
ton acres. Tho Government did not re-
quire It all. but what it will take will greatly
cramp the place. So Mr.. Addicks has de-
cided to dispose Of it all.
Beacon Hill affords a fine view Of tho
ocean, there being an unobstructed sweep
from Block Island and Point Judith on the
west to Gay Head on the east, and it Is on
account Of this commanding position that
the Government has decided to acquire it.

"a, the Adirondack and Montreal Ex-
press, was attacked by two train robbers
in the express car In this city early this
morning. The train passes this station at
44O clock in the morning without making
stop.
As the train was slowing down to cross
State street two men suddenly swung into
the car through the open door at the side.
Wallace, who was lying down, received
heavy blow from one of the men. At the
same time the robbers hat, which had been
pulled down to hide his face, fell of and
Wallace recognized him as one Of the train
men, Fred Avery Of Albany.
He called Avery by name, whereupon the
other man, with an oath, jumped from the
car, which had again increased its speed.
Avery remained in the car where Wallace
lay stunned by the blow he had received
When the train reached Albany the dis
covery was made that the crew was train
man short Arthur Carpenter, who had
been aboard, could not be found. The
conductor found the express messenger
stunned in the express car, and on hearing

with only some slight bruises when he
jumped from the train, was captured.
Both were brought here and lodged in

hit the express messenger hard enough
to knock him out and then to rob
the car. When the messenger recognized
Avery 1t knocked the courage out OF the
amatsur train robbers.

day after day to be called. and objected
strenuously to any short adjournments
until he had been called.

He Is also said to have threatened China
with severe penalties II she sides with Japan.

Japanese gunhoats were also making sim

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Baron Fayashi, the
Japanese Minister, insists that the situation
in the Far East is unchanged. He says that
the alarmist reports that have been re-

newspaper correspondents.
Lloyd's is doing considerable business
in war risks on coal and merchandise for
Far Eastern ports, but the rates are not
very heavy, the percentages being equiva-
lent to odds of to against an early war.
There is, however, an upward tendency
