DEAD GIRL WAS MTss RUzECK.
Amityvfile Authorities Think sho May Have
Been Lured TO Their Town.


While the identity Of the young woman
who was found dying on the platform OF the
railroad station at Amityville, l.. l., about
o'clock on Sunday night has been estab-
lished, the manner in which she met her
death is still mystery.
The body was yesterday identified by
Vincent Ruzeck Of $50 Fifteenth avenue
Brooklyn, as that Of his sister, Frances
Ruzeck, who WAS employed as a cook in
the family of Edward Koenig OF l1oO Mad
ison avenue, Manhattan.
Two theories are advanced to account
for her death. Drs. Markham and Luce
who performed the autopsy, found on
opening the stomach that she had taken
some whiskey, but the condition of the
organs indicated that she had not been a
habitual drinker. This led to the sugges-
ton that, not being used to liquor, she had
become intoxicated after drinking com
paratively. small quantity and that upon
felf and struck her % head % AGAINST AGAINST i a vail 1 or
platform with sufficient force to form cot
Pi blood on the brain, which was the cause
Y death.
The other theory is that the olot Of blood

ihfy said last night that Frances Ruzeck
haeA been in their employ five years, and
that she was reliable and trustworthy, of
exemplary habits and never touched wine
or liquor. They said that she had visited
her BROTHER Vincent on Friday night and
had a&ain left their house on Sunday even

STANDARD TINE 30 YEARS OLD.
An Interesting Anniversary Most Ac.
curately Kept.

Probably the most accurate anniversary
in the annals Of time was celebrated yester-
day when the time ball on the Western
Union Building fell exactly at noon, and
Standard time was just twenty years old
to the fraction Of second. As q result Of
the invention OF William F. Allen, secretary
Of the America n Railway Association. which
was put in practice Nov. Is, 1888, the electric
current which dropped the bill on the
Western Union Building flashed practically
instantaneo,Isly from the Naval Observa-
tory at Washington to all the big cities in
the United States.
The time ball on the Western Union
Building has not been as regular as the
system The building was erected in 1875,
and the ball set in motion in 1893. In 1890
the building burned down. and it was not
until 1882 that il was restored, end the
ball perched aloft once more. The ball
has been changed several times since.
The time is flashed all over the United
States 3ls davs in the year. The ball does
not drop on Sundays.

westerly direction. At Bala, on the
Rock Island road, two people were

thought, fatally. Railroad traffic was
blocked for some time on account of
great trees and debris being blown on
The track. The storm was accompa-

stones as large as hens eggs falling.
Many dwellings and outbuildings were
wrecked.
Eureka, KAMA severe tornado
dipped down on this town, fatally in

Sample. and seriously injuring a half
dozen others.
Phillipsburg, KAMA tornado at Lo-
gan, small station east of here, de-
molished about dozen houses, but
so far as known no one was seriously
hurt. Stormclouds were seen in every
direction and it is feared that reports
OF serious losses will be brought in
later.
Dodge City, KAMA tornado struck
this country nine miles southeast of
here, killing herder, name unknown,
and fatally injuring Mrs. Shane.
The house, barn and windmill Of
John Bellman was blown away and
the herd Of Warren Browns blooded
horses were killed. Tibb Shane, who
came to the city after a physician, says
that he saw over 200 head of dead cat

Kansas City.-Report that Mulvane,

The storm caused more or less damage
at that place, but SO far as can be
learned there was no serious loss and
no casualties are reported.

The Jumbo mine at Rossland is ar

William Blakemore, M. E., consult
ing engineer to the British Columbia
Coal company, Ltd, has awarded 10
seph Wiseman a contract for build
ing pack trail to the company's coal
locations.
Manager S. M. Parrish of the Le
.Roi. at Rossland, reports that in April
the average value of the ore was just
:$1o.S1. The cost of breaking and de-
1ivering the ore on the cars was $2.42
and the cost of development was equal
to So cents a ton. making a total cost
of So for every ton of ore produced.
Coke shipments from the Crows
Nest Pass Coal company to the smell
tiers of the Boundary district have
fallen off appreciably during the past
week. In consequence the CRANKY
company has been obliged to curtail it's
operations, only two furnaces now be-
ing in blast.
One side of the first half of the new
go drill air compressor that has just
been installed by the CRANKY mines
in Phoenix camp was put in commits
sion last week, being thoroughly test
ed, and is now being used for power
for the drills in both the Old Ironsides
and the Knob Hill mines.
A phenomenal strike was recently
made on the Edith L. fraction, adjoin-
ing the Athelstan mine, in Wellington
camp. An upturned tree exposed crop
pings, which, when uncovered, proved
to be over 100 feet wide Of solid ship
ping ore. The big showing is 100 feet
from the Athelstan side line, and 1t is
a certainty that the ore body drifts
into that claim. Average values from
the ledge are $11 in gold and silver.
Ex-Governor Spriggs of Montana, d.
rector in the Frank Coal company, says
