Drop of Forty Feet---The Fires
 man Was Killed.
ROCKS ON TRACK THE CAUSE

The Train Was the Regular Nigha Express Between Boston and Mon-
 treal-All the Passengers Were
 Shaken Up, But None Injured-Hn-
 zine and Three Cars Went Over the
 Precipice.
 Northfield, Vt, April 3.--A mass ok rock which had fallen onto the tracks Of the Central Vermont railroad. one mile south of Northfeld, caused the wreck of the northbound express run- ming from Boston to Montreal to-day. The locomotive and three cars plunged over an embankment 40 feet high, but only one man, Timothy O'NeiI of Northfield, che fireman lost his life. All on board the train were violently shaken but none of the trainhands 0r passengers were injured, beyond few slight bruises.
 The express was the regular night tram which leaves Boston at 7;8O D. h., and runs over the Boston & MaiYas Central Vermont and Grand Trunk railroads via White River function. Last nights express was made up of eleven cars, three of which were for mail, baggage and express. Pullman sleepers, day coach and second class cars. As the train was quite a heavy one there had been some delay aa points south. At Bethel the regular express locomotive became disabled and 1t was found necessary to order q freight engine.
 The train reached here fully an hour late At point about one mile south or Northfield in a narrow cut, at a speed & thirty miles, the train ran into the obstruction. The locomotive struck the pile of rocks with a terrific thud. which seemed to lift the huge machine lnto the air The forward cars ex- press, mail and baggage left tha rasIa and would have piled upon the locos motive, had not the train suddenlv sWerved from the road and tunbled oyer the embankment, the cars sIitiinq ahead of the engine in the descent.

WORK OF MAF|A SOCIETY.
Attempted to Kidnap Wealthy
 Banker of New Rochelle

Thomas Balletto Called to His Door by
 Strangers at 2 O'clock in the Morn-
 ing-He Thought Some One Was
 Playing an April Fool Joke on Him
 The Police are Searching for the
 Men Who Were in a Runabout.
 New Rochelle, N. Y., April 3.-The police of this place are Investigating an attempt by two men, believed to be members of the Mafia society, to kid nap Thomas Balletto, a wealthy bank CT. Mir Balletto was aroused about ? a. m. by a loud knocking at his door. Responding to the call, he found run about containing two men standing in front of the house. The strangers wore ulsters and slouch hats, which entirely concealed their faces. When the bank CT appeared they sprang upon him and ordered him to go with them. Bal letto pleaded with the men to let him go.
 At first he thought they were some friends of his playing an April fool joke. He was in his night clothes, and as he had been i'll, pleaded that he would catch more cold The strangers tried vainly to drag him toward the rig. Then one of them drew a long stiletto and fourished it in his face.
 MT Balletto realized that they were in earnest. They told him that if he did not go with them they would kill him on the spot. He succeeded in breaking away from them and ran up stairs, where he got his revolver and began shooting from q window and the strangers drove away.
 Laterin the morning q general alarm was sent out, and two men who were driving without light were arrested They said they were Antonio Rafe1o and Louis Roth of Mount Vernon Mir Balletto believes they are the men that tried to kidnap him. They were held for trial. The banker is at loss to understand why the Mafia should have singled him out for punishment unless it be that he is a deputy sheriff and has served many warrants on his fel- low countrymen.

BLUE JAYs HUNT SNAKES.
The Birds Have Strong Antipathy
 Toward Venonous Reptiles.

The Birds Have Strong Antiquity
 Toward yenomous Reptiles. It IS commonly supposed JnaJ all birds, at least those of the small spe- cies, fall easy victims to snakes. There are stories innumera ble of the manner in which the reptiles charm the feath- cred creatures and end by swallowing them at a gulp. But there Is one bird that is not susceptible to the fascina tion of his snakeship's eye, and that is the common blue jay, found in the woods all over the United States, says the Chicago Chronicle.
 A gentleman who has lived for many years in the country asserts positively that the blue jay can speak at least one word as plainly as a human being and that word is snake .When a boy" he said recently. II killed many snakes that would have escaped but for the sharp eyes of the blue jay. Some species of reptiles will climb small trees and bushes and trap their prey in that manner. They feed on small birds principally. But they never catch jaybird. He is the snake detective for the whole bird family. As soon as blue jay sees a snake he sounds the alarm. You can hear him squall quarter of a mile, and he ar ticulates the word snake as plainly as can. He will hop about on a limb and yell snake! snake!' in such Q thrill, excited voice that pretty soon others of his tribe hasten to the scene, and all join in giving the alarm. All other birds, hearing this warning cry, fly away, but the blue jay splits his throat with cries until the enemy has disappeared.
 A snake once caught blue jay by charming him. The jay yelled Snake! snake!' at the top of his voice. Several hundred blue jays flew to his rescue and pecked the snakes eyes out, and literally picked him to pieces, thus say ing the life of their companion. Ever since that time the blue jay, upon sec ing snake, gives the alarm and all blue jays within hearing will hasten to the scent and lend their voices to the warning. This may sound incred- ulous, but it's true" said the narrator in conclusion. Not at all, but it's good story to forget under the cir cumstances," added the nervous young man, who at once proposed the con- s1deration of the rela ton of the jocund grape to the doctrine of metempsy- choSiS,

TENEMENT HOUSE FIRE.
Dead Body Burned Beyond Rec
 ognition

Woman Jumped from Second Story
 Window-A ENfeman Caught Her,
 But She Was Badly Injured and Had
 Both Legs Broken-Fourteen Years
 Old Girls Desperate Effort to
 Save Man That Was Burned.
 New York, April 3.-At least one person was killed and several people were hurt to-day in a tenement house fire 1n Henry street, on the east side. F1remen found q dead body on the top floor in the rear so badly burned that they could not tell whether it was the body of man or woman. The twenty four families in the building were greatly excited, and one woman, Mrs Greenfield, 50 years old, jumped from the second story. A fireman caught the woman in his arms, but was knock ed down. The woman's legs were broken and she was otherwise badly hurt. A fireman was severely hurt while carrying a woman and children down ladder.
 The body found was that of Harris Rothstein, S4 years old, an invalid. The building was being renovated for the feSst of the passover and painters were at work in the halls and rooms. A similar fire occurred on Rivington street last night.
 When the cry of fire was heard in the house there was 14-year-old girl and the invalid in the Rothstein apart ments on the third floor. The little girl dragged the old man, her cousin, up three flights of stairs and was try ing to get him up the ladder leading to the roof when she was scorched by the flames and forced to abandon him. Men and women who were passing them on their way to safety took no no- tice of their appeal for help
