Residence in Albany, N. ", Has Most
Costly Adornment.
A portion of one Of the walls of an
old-fashioned, unpretentious residence
in Albany, N. Y, is adorned with wall
paper valued at upward of 5000, 900.
To be more specific, the wall paper
mentioned is valued at the rate of $50
per suare inch. This high-priced wall
paper consists of very rare revenue
stamps, priced in current stamp cata.
logues at $3.50 each, and readily sell at
500 per copy. Fairy tales of apart
ments having walls plastered with
stamps of priceless value have gone
the rounds of stamp" journals, but
this is true story. A local stamp
dealer has investigated the matter per-
sonally and vouches for the accuracy
OF the statements.

HOLD UP
FISH DEALER
Demanded Money at Point Of
Pistol In Dark Piece Of Road
Near harrington.

Another highway robbery occurred last
night in which Italians participated. and
the victim was George Cornell, well
known Ash dealer of Bristol. The affair
took place in a dark section OF the road
In harrington. near Warren and as Mr..
Cornell passed two villainous looking
Italians sprang from the shadows and
demanded his money.
As the demand was reinforced by a
suggestive movement OF wicked look
ing revolver, Mr.. Cornell readily COM
piled and handed over all the money he
happened to have. and the men grabbed
IL and escaped.
Nv good fortune Mr.. Cornell had only
seven dollars with him at the time, but
ne only gave them two of that overlook
ing the rest, and his loss is not great.
but n no had several hundred IL would
have been the same for with a pistol
leveled at his head a man Is not usually
In the mood to auibble over few dol
lars.
When relieved of the menacing weapon
Mr. Cornell continued to his home which
was very near the place where the hold
up occurred and he made his experience
known A search for the miscreants In
the darkness proved fruitless, for the
men doubtless had made tracks as soon
as they got the money and no trace could
be obtained.
1t may be that the fellows knowing that
Mr.. Cornell was In business had carefully
planned 10 relieve him of his money after
having closed up his store and that they
were not successful was due solely to the
fact that he did not bring the money
home with him. The presence OF desper-
ate Italians OF this character In the vi
cinity OF harrington has caused consld-
erable alarm to be felt by the residents
and especially in the vicinity OF Mathew
son avenue where this occurred and
women and children will fear to go out
after dark until the assurance OF ther
capture is made.
The darkness prevented Mr.. cornell
from getting a good description OF tho
men other than their nationality, but the
police have what details he can give,
meagre as they are and are working on
the case.

FIRST TRAIN PASSED
OVER ELEVATED TODAY
New Tracks Between Lamo-
kin and Thurlow Used
for First Time

Amid the shouts of hundreds, the
blowing of factory whistles and the
footing Of other engines the first regu-
lar train TO run over the new elevated
railroad of the Pennsylvania Company
between Lamokn and Thurlow made
its way safely over the new tracks this
morning. The train selected for this
honor was the Philadelphia and Balti-
more accommodation. No Q. due in this
city at 1O.1S.
The passengers on the train were
treated to a surprise. Nobody but the
crew knew of the intention TO try the
new tracks. AS the train began inak-
ing the ascent those on board were
surprised TO see the throngs all along
the tracks, ana wondered what the
cheering and blowing Of whistles was
about Many thought there was some
dignitary on board. All the windows
of the train We're thrown w. and The
passengers, as if proud of their posi-
ton, answered the cheers of the
crowds.
The speed maintained by the train,
although not what it was capable Of,
was fast. The engineer knowing the
responsibility of the venture was eau
tious.
All trains viii take the elevated
tracks hereafter, and much better time
may be expected between this city and
Philadelphia.

QUESTION OF QUALIFIED
VOTERS DISCUSSED
Members of Board of Educa-
ton Have Different Views
on the Matter

There is a difference of opinion be-
tween at least two members of the
Board of Education in reference to the
qualifications required. in order to give
a person the privilege of voting at the
coming school election. The question
was brought up at the meeting of the
board last night and was the topic Of
considerable discussion.
Robert Adair and Robert c. Fraim,
members Of the board, both attorneys,
took the leading part. The former held
that property owners only can vote,
while Mr.. Fraim was of the opinion
that all registered voters are entitled
to take part in the election.
The discussion ended by Mr.. Fraim
and Mr.. Adair agreeing that the reg
istration books should be at the polling
places, but they could not agree on the
qualification question. Mr.. Adair read
a section of law providing for a fine Of
$50 for any person who voted illegally
at a school election.
The matter of voting will probably
be left as heretofore, only persons
paying school taxes being allowed to
vote.
