STALE EGGS FOR TROLLEY CARS.
Bronx Hoodlums Fire Them From Gene
tery-woman Made Deaf.

A gang Of young hoodlums got much
amusement last night by hiding in church
yard at 2leth street and White Plains avenue
and throwing stale eggs at passing trolley
cars. At 8 O'Clock a car bound for Mount
Vernon passed the spot and was met with O
fusillade OF over twenty eggs.
The passengers. most Of them women,
screamed and became greatly excited.
One very ancient specimen exploded as 1t
struck the left ear OF Mrs, Joseph X. Darian,
a widow, living at 2s4th street and Kossuth
avenue Wakefield. Mrs. Darian, who held
her six-months- old baby in her arms has
been suffering from an affection OF the
right ear and could only hear through
her left ear. The explosion OF the egg
injured the drum OF that, and now Mrs.
Darian is totally deaf.
As soon as the egg throwing began
the motorman Of the car put on full speed,
and made no stop until the Wakefield police
station was reached. Capt Gehegan. when
told OF the bombardment, sent a squad
OF detectives in search Of the young mis-
creants. but none was captured last night.

LONDON, Sept, s.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent OF the Daily Telegraph men,
lions rumors in we'll informed quarters that
Emperor William has cautiously sounded
the Cars advisers on-the desirability OF
concluding peace on terms which would
serve as a basis for future negotiations
with view to an offensive and defensive
alliance between Russia and Japan.
1t Is pointed out THAT II Russia had known
Japan's strength she would eagerly have
forestalled Great Britain and made high
bid for such an alliance. There are many
politicians In Toxic who would still eagerly
support such q union II Russia made 1t
worth Japan's while. Tho Anglo-Japanese
alliance will only be operative for a few
years.
Meanwhile the basis for q triple alliance
OF Russia, Germany and Japan might be
prepared, which II realized, would shape
the deetinies OF Asia and Europe.
The correspondent details at length the
reasons governing the suggestion. which
he says, has long been entertained by Rus
sian diplomatists and other influential
men.

THIS GIRL MURDERED?
Body Washed Up by Tide-Marks on Neck
Indicate Foul Play.

NEW HAVEN. Conn, Sept while
clam digger and Yale medical student
named Frances were walking along the
shore at Woodmont at daylight this morn
ing, they stumbled over the body of girl,
about 10 years old. which had been washed
up on the rocks by the tide. The girl was
comfortably dressed.
According to Medical Examiner John F.
Barnett. marks were found op the neck that
would lead to the belief THAI she wat as
saulted and her body thrown into the water
to indicate accidental drowning.
Late tonight the girl was identified by
her mother as Louise Duvoes Of Yalesville.
She had been missing from her home since
last Wednesday.
Her mother is unable to account for her
death and she says there was no reason why
she should commit suicide. Mrs Duvoes
fastened home after the Identification,
promising to return tomorrow and tell
Dr. Barnett all the facts Of the case she
knows.
A girl answering her description was
noticed by several cottagers walking up
and down the beach last night about 8
o'clock. She was alone.
The body was found in point OF rocks
near Woodmont. seven miles west Of here.
and a cursory examination indicated that
the marks might have been caused by the
rocks. The investigation OF Medical Ex-
aminer Barnett. however, disclosed the fact
that there were no indications Of drown
ing. as was at first supposed. The girls
clothing showed that she was In good cir
cumstanoes. Parts Of her clothing and her
shoes bore trademarks Of stores in this
city.

The window glass fell out with q crash
In the first story Of five decker tenement
at 1877 East ioeth street just after o'clock
last night, and out darted q streak Of flame
-Fire!" somebody cried, and the tenants
made a rush for the street.
They all got there safely but Mrs. Goldie
Ferris, 80 years old, and her daughter
Mrs. Jane Messando. feeble woman OF
co. Mother and daughter live on the second
floor rear of the tenement and failed to hear
the shouting.
BY the time the two old women smelled
smoke and peered out Of their rooms the
hallway was filed to suffocation. The
fire had spread rapidly. and roaring
sheet Of fame was making Roadway up
the stairs. The old women rushed back
into their rooms and, stuffing the crevices
OF the doors, kept near the window waiting
for the fremen.
News Of the fire and predioament Of the
two old folks left behind in the house
reached the New Star Theatre, around the
corner in Lexington avenue. Louis Sea-
man, Bernard Lanisky and Harry Nathan,
ushers In the theatre, ran to the burning
tenement and tried to make their way up
the burning stairs. 1t was impossible.
Lets try another way" said Usher Sea-
man. We'll get in somehow"
The three entered the adjoining building
and ran up to the roof. From there the
rescuers got to the roof Of the burning
building and opened the scuttle at the head
OF the stairway. But that merely acted as
hue and increased the volume Of the
flames. The three tried In vain to climb
down through the smoke, but were nearly
choked before they had descended dozen
stairs.
Then they tried what they had seen the
firemen do. The three formed a human
ladder. Nathan, the strongest hung over
the edge Of the roof and suspended Lanisky
by the hands over the rear wall. Seaman,
who is an athlete slid down over Lansky.
He was able to drop to the rear fire escape,
long distance below.
Seaman climbed down the fire escape
through the smoke until he reached the
window leading to the rooms Of the i'm
prisoned women on the second floor. He
kicked in the window and entered. By
this time the rooms were filled with smoke,
but by cropping around Seaman found the
two women and dragged them to the fire
escape. They were only half conscious.
What little air there was on the FIRE escape
revived the women While Seaman was
figuring on how he would get them to the
yard below. the hremen arrived, two lad
ders were quickly placed and the women
and Seaman were taken down IN this way.
It was found that ell three had been slightly
b,irne about the hands and face. All were
treated by an ambulance surgeon. but
none was In need Of hospital treatment.
The Aremen made short work Of the famse,
but not until about e ,ooosdamage-a great
deal in such tenement-had been done.
The fire Is believed to have started through
the carelessnees Of painters who had been
using blow lamps in repainting the frst
floor.
