COOL HEADED SERVANT GIRL
ExTINGUlsHED BLAZE BEFORE
CALLING FOR HELP.
She Was More Intent on Putting Out
the Fire Than Catching the
Man.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-EverX pO-
liceman in Brooklyn has been given a
description of an incendiary wanted,
and it is believed that if the man is
six mysterious fires on the Prospect
Park slope will have been found.
The police has a clear clew in this
case, for the man was seen by a maid
in the employ of George Brickelmeyer,
Of No. 113 Prospect Park west, stuff
ing excelsior into a cellar window and
setting it on fire.
For weeks the police have been in
vestigating a series of incendiary fires
started in cellars and stairways OF
apartment houses. Precinct detec-
tives, detectives from headquarters
and special men detached from the
fire department have been watching
the district.
Amelia Johns, IS, in the employ of
Mr. Brickelmeyer when sent to the
bakers was approached by tall man,
seedily dressed and wearing a dark
SLOUGH hat. She says that he had
dark hair and light mustache.
He spoke to her, but she ignored
him. Then he tried to detain her by
catching her arm, but she saw a wo-
man ahead of her, ran forward, over
took her and sought protection. The
man turned back.
Miss Johns was about ten minutes
at the bakers, and started back. When
she entered the house she heard a
noise and looking through the area
way door, she saw the same man who
had accosted her STOPPING at the cell
lar window. He stuffed some excelsior
through the bars and drawing a num-
Der of matches bound together with a
rubber band, he lighted them and

shop men who had the engine there re-
ported that one night recently, when
one of the wipers went to put fire in
the box, in the dim light, saw man
standing in the cab with his hand on
the throttle.
He spoke to the man, thinking that
perhaps it was one of the machinists
making some repairs. For this reason
he took particular notice, but went on
with his work. However, not re-
ceiving any answer to his remark, he
looked again and was surprised to
find that he had disappeared. 1t was
found that neither machinist, nor other
employee save the cleaner, had been
on the engine that night.

and she has been removed from the
passenger to the freight service.
One good thing, though, must be
told of No. 239. 1t is her escape from
destruction on the East river bridge.
The engine had left Picton with a
train for Oxford. When the New
Glasgow side of the East river bridge
was reached the, engineer felt the
bridge giving way, and at once put on
full steam to which the engine re-
sponded with a sudden bound, break
ing loose from the tender, which at
that time was going through the
bridge The tender crashed through
into the water, quickly followed by
seven cars, the van and one car re-
manning on the track, but it will take
more than this to eliminate from the
minds of the railwaymen the belief
that this engine of the Intercolonial
has been hoodooed for two years or
more.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-Policeman

he was strung out behind the ma

Nevertheless, he did not forget his du-

The young men were coZily seated

bile was slowed up, and one of the
young men leaped out and laughingly
fled. Slattery, somewhat flushed and
still gasping, told the other he was
under arrest for disorderly conduct
The other man showed up later, both
being released on bail, and went away

ROME, Dec. 23.-Rome is already

festivities with which the Christmas
holiday season is always observed in

particularly joyful Christmas for the
royal family. According to the old
custom in the court of Italy, Queen
Helena has been in person this week
to the leading shops of Rome and the
result is that several rooms of the
Quirinal are filled with the newest
toys and other Christmas gifts. Little
Prince Humbert is too young to ap-

there are more than enough to satisfy
the desires of the little princesses and
their baby brother, and the surplus

NOVA scorIANS BELIEVE THAT
NO. 239 is UNDER A BAD
SPELL.
Only the Bravest Engineers Can BE
Induced to Take the Locomotive
on the Road.

HALIFAX, Dec. 23.-The death IN

James McAuley makes it probable
that the story of locomotive No. 239

Gently had a narrow escape from de-
struction on the East river bridge,
near Pictou, in this province, cannot
be eoualed for disaster on any other
road on this continent
The railwaymen and the public be-
lieve that "239' is "hoodooed," and
it is only the bravest and most dar-
ing engineers on the line who can now
be prevailed on to take a run with
her.
Two years ago this engine was haul
ing an express train which collided at
Belmont, and some of the passengers
were killed. Six months later at
Windsor Junction, this locomotive was
ahead of another collding train, when
four of the train crew met death.
But it is the death that has come to
her engineers that particularly causes
the belief among the railwaymen that
this locomotive is hoodOO engine.
Three of her drivers and two of her
firemen are in their graves, having met
death while holding her throttle or at
work at her fires. and another of her
firemen had a close call for his life
when Driver James McAuley, the Ia
test victim, was killed in the smash

To add to the superstitious horror
with which this engine is regarded
the workmen at the railway shops are
telling that two men were instantly
killed while engaging in her construc-
ton.
