WELLS, FARGO GAR ROBBED
ATTACKED TO OVERLAND TRAIN
 ON THE SANTA FE.

Express Messenger Probably Fatally
 shot-Way safe Riaed but the Main
 One Containing s2OO,OoO in Pension
 Money is Not Toucked-Wounded
 Man in Too Seriously Condition to
 Tell Much About the Affair.
 Los Angeles, Cal, Dec 5.--A Wells. Fargo express ear on an Atchison. To- peka and Santa Fe overland passenger train, west-bound, was entered early to-day somewhere between Needles and Daggett, and Evan O. Roberts, express messenger, was shot and probably fa- tally wounded, The way safe was rified, but the main safe. said to con- tain S200,000 in pension money, was not robbed, 50 far as known, officers of the express company say the robbers only secured about $400.
 The robbery was not discovered until the train reached Daggett, when Con- ductor Hawes opened the door of the express car and found Messenger Rob erts lying on the floor semi conscious, with the contents of the rified safe scattered about the car Roberts was so seriously wounded that he was un- able to tell much about the robbery.
 The bolt on the door at the end of the express car was broken. The interior of the car indicated that the messenger had grappled with the robber before being oYerpowered and finally shot by him.
 After rifling the safe the robber leap- ed from the car while the train was running at fast speed.
 The bandit is believed to be one of a number of colored tramps who have been around Daggett since the con struction work of the Salt Lake road reached that place.

 At the regular monthly meeting of the board of aldermen. held in city hall last evening, the estimated receipts and disbursements of the city of New Haven for the year 1905 were submitted by the board of finance. The estimates were referred to the various sub-com- mittees of the board of aldermen and they will report on them to the board at the next meeting.
 The estimated income and the total 
 appropriations made are the same and the amount is s1.sO7el5.24. This years appropriation was s1,72sSSS.25, which makes an increase for next year (1sO5l of $I7' '71s.9s, which largely goes to the fire and police departments.
 At the present time the assessors re- port the grand list of property in Wards 1--15 Inclusive, as $10T, ,7sO, ,664. Pursuant to section no of the charter. the board has levied for school pur- poses a tax of 1-2 mills upon all prop lerty within the city school district. It has laid a tax exclusive of said school tax of 3-4 mills upon the polls and ratable estates within the limits, of l Wards 1-12, inclusive (section 44), and a tax of mills upon the polls and rat able estates within the limits of Wards 1S-15, inclusive, (section 217. The to- tai tax laid upon the property bearing the full city tax is 13 IA mills.
 In addition to the ordinary current | expenses of the several departments the tax levied provides for the pay ment of $95,OOO to the sinking fund, which must be regarded as the mifi- mum amount to be annually set aside ifor several years in order to retire the outstanding bonds as they fall due. I Provision is also made for a new eighteen room school building in the. l Webster district, costing $65.0O0; for a central fire engine house and site to cost $S3, ,000; a fire engine house on Dix well avenue on the present site of po- lice precinct No 4, to cost $12000; and a new police precinct and site in the vicinity of the delapidated building now in use, to cost 10000. To meet such ex~ 4 traordinary and needed Improvements it is deemed expedient to provide in part for their payment by a temporary loan of s50,Oo0, conditional upon author lity of the next general assembly. By this method it is not only possible to live within the present tax rate of 1S IA mills but from the best information at hand it is believed that the admiris= tration of 1906 will be able to pay said | (fsnu fin,ind n1, cfv+h DO ere

 RIosions.

New York, Dec. 5.-Ten persons were injured and quarter of a million dol lars worth of property destroyed as the result of a spark leaping from a gasoline machine on which a chauffeur was working in an automobile garage on West 39th street to-day.
 Two score automobiles were destroyed or badly damaged and so rapid was the progress of the fire that men work ing in the second story of the building were forced to leap from the windows.
 Five of the injured, Baptiste Mager Louis Hoft, John Julius, John Erskine and Torrance Redmond were the most seriously hurt, and were taken to yari- ous hospitals The others of the in- jured have cuts and bruises, which are not serious.
 The spark which started the fire conl- municated with tank holding 100 gal Ions of gasolene, which exploded spread ing the flames to other tanks, and in a short time there were ten distinct ex- plosiens, filling the building with fire and smoke.

GEORGE YANZ PAROLED
 BY. BOARD OF PARDONS
SLAYER OF GEORGE GoERING
 AGAIN 4 FREE MAN.

To Return to New Haven Where a PO-
 sition Awaits Hin-Two Men, Par
 doned Outright and Another ParoIed
 Petition of Nancy Guilford, Who
 Caused the Death of Emma CHI, Not
 Presented.
 Hartford, Dec. 5.-of the score of prisoners serving time in Wethersfeld, whose petitions for freedom in the shape of a pardon or a parole, were heard to-day by the state board of pardons. but four were successful in re- ceiving immunity at the hands of the board. Two of these four were pardon ed and the other two paroled, while the petitions of the others were either re- fused or not heard. Garrett Dalton, sent up from New Haven county for a period of from two to four years on the charge of theft from person, was one of those pardoned after several witnesses had been examined and two other prisoners to receive a, pardon at the hands of the board were Edwin Taylor sent to Wethersfeld from Bridgeport to serve fifteen years for burglary. Dalton will soon die of con- sumption and Taylor will go to Brazil.
 George Yang of New Haven, who was serving a sentence of five years on the charge of manslaughter. was paroled. Yang was first convicted of second de- gree murder for killing George Goering for alleged intimacy with the formers wife, but this verdict was set aside by by the supreme court on an appeal and later Yang pleaded guilty to a charge of manslaughter. He has been prom Iised employment in New Haven.
 David Scholly, who was serving a sentence of fifteen years on the charge of rape, was also paroled. Scholly was committed from Hebron, Holland coun- | ty.
 A good deal of interest was centered 1 in the petition of Nancy Guilford serv- ing a ten year sentence for manslaugh- ter in causing the death of Emma Gill of Southington through criminal opera tions, but the petition was withdrawn shortly before it was to be considered by the board.
 1 One of the most pathetic cases that the board had to deal with was that 1 of aged John Warren. who is serving a life sentence on the charge of murder ! ing his wife. He did not appear before the board, but the fact that he had been in prison for forty-five years made his case a sad one. Warren's brothers, Levi and Joel were among the many who testified concerning the prisoners exainplary habits. The board refused to grant the aged prisoner a pardon, however.
 1 The other prisoners who applied for pardons or to be paroled were Charles 1 E. White, New London; Richard Coyle, ] New London; William Waite, Wind 1 ham county; F. H. Wardell, Middlesex; Michael Coleman, Middlesex; Daniel Blow, Litchfield; James Bradley, Fair 1 field; Pasauale Calabrese, Fairfield; Frank Howard, Rudolph Hoffman, Ne Haven; George Hull, New Haven; Jo- lseph Klett, New Haven; John McGen- ity, Frank Barlow, Hartford, and Percy IL. Johnson, Bridgeport.

L.an- der, ex-County treasurer. Late this eve ming President BeckWith secured bonds- men in the persons of J. G. w. Cowles, A. J. Gilchrist and George A. Collins, land the aged banker was given his free dom.
 That the Oberlin bank, or President Beckwith, really possessed the notes for $25O,O0O and $500,0OO respectively, with the name of Andrew Carnegie signed thereto, is now known as a definite fact, Whether these notes are forgeries is yet to be known. This is stated on the authority of United States District Attorney Sullivan and a very pronin- ent banker of Cleveland. District At torney Sullivan declared to-day that he had the note for $25O,0Oo in his posses sion, and that it bore the name of An drew Carnegie, and was endorsed by Q, L. Chadwick. A widely known banker who requested that his name be net used, stated positively that he had seen the s5OO,OO0 note signed Andrew Carnegie.
 This banker said he was not familiar enough with MT. Carnegie's signature to state positively whether the signature was genuine or a forgery.

TURBINE LINER 4 FAILURE.
Unable Even to Meet Contract Speed
 Work on Cunarders Suspended.

Glasgow, Dec. 5.-The trials of the Allan line steamer Victorian (the larg- est turbine vessel yet built) which was launched at Belfast August 25, have been so disappointing as to raise seri- ous doubts among the Clyde ship builders as to the value of turbines in the case of large ships. All the efforts made to get the Victorian near con- tract speed were futile and it Is under stood that the construction of the tur- bine engines intended for the new Cum ard line steamers has been suspended pending developments. A sister ship of the Victorian will be launched next month. The two ships were built on tho understanding that the new con- tract for the fast Canadian mail ser- vice would be given to the Allan line.

JAPAN SHOWING IRRITATION

May Make ReprisaIs for Coating of Baltic Fleet.
 Tokio, Dec. 5.-Evening. Popular sentiment regarding the question of as- sistance which neutral powers are giv- ing to the vessels of the Russian sec ond Pacific squadron, which heretofore has been repressed, is now growing more acute, and prominent newspapers are yoicing the demand for determined action by the Japanese government. Apparently it will depend on the course E of events when the Russian ships ar rive in oriental waters. If the squad- ron shall have been permitted to ex- ceed a fair construction of neutrality lit is probable that Japan will consider herself under no obligation to observe neutrality and may send her fleet after the Russians into ports the neutrality of which she believes the Russians are violating.
 | If the Russians seize a base in neu- tral territory, Japan probably will do
 likewise should urgency demand such
 action.
