WERE AFTER JEWELS.
Vandals Who Despoiled Tomb o
General Livingston.

Hudson, N. ", April 27.--Investiga-
tion of the vandalism at the tomb of
General Henry B. Livingston, who died
in 1903. leads the officials here to be-
liCve that the sole object of the ghouls
was to secure jewels of great value
which, according to tradition, We're
buried with Mrs Mary Livingston, the
generals wife, who died in 1856. 1t
is thought no attempt was made to
carry away any of the bodies in the
tomb. AS yet no arrests have been
made, but the officers say they believe
they can solve the mystery and punish
the criminals.
Only one metallic coffin remains In
tact The others, which were of wood,
appear to have crumbled into dust, to-
gether with their contents.
Stories have been current in the
river counties for nearly half a CEN
tury to the effect that jewels of rare
value were buried with Mrs Livingston
at her expressed desire, and it is
thought likely these tales excited the
cupidity of professional robbers.

cinders and flames. which continued
to be propelled into the air until the
engine reached Eleventh street, a

SHERIFF AFTER MARX.
ColChester's Suspected Murderer to
be Brought Back for Trial,

Colchester, April 27.-Sheriff George
o. jackson left here at 1885 this NOM
ing for New York to bring back John
Marx, who is held by the New York
police as fugitive from justice on
account of the murder of Joseph Pa
veil, a farm hand, whose dismembered
body was ound in bag on the Marx
farm in this town The sheriff thought
it possible that he might be able to>Ie
turn to Colchester with his prisoner to-
night If the requisition papers which
had been made ready for the signature
of Governor Odell were forwarded by
messenger to New York city. If the
sheriff finds it necessary to go to AL
bany for the papers, he cannot return
before tomorrow night. 1t is not ex-
pected that the prisoner will insist on
any hearing in New York as he has ex-
pressed his entire willingness to re-
turn without the formality of requisi-
tion papers If that were possible under
the New York laws.
Marx will be brought directly to. Col
chester to remain until his preliminary
hearing is over, after which it is pro
posed to transfer him to the New Lon
don county Jail in Norwich to await
the grand jury's action. Mrs Marx,
wife of the prisoner, is still held with
her children at the town farm here.
She is to be witness in the case, but
thus far the authorities have been able
to draw very little from her in the way
of information.

STEAMER ASHORE
Buffeted by Last NIGHTS
Storm Was Loaded
With Sugar.

Atlantic City, N. J., April 27.-South
Brigantine life saving station reports
steamship ashore about three miles
off that station
The steamship is schooner rugged
and has black funnel with white
stripes. 1t is possible that the vessel
may be a Ward liner, as the tunnels
of steamships of this line are marked
in that way. The steamship was
driven ashore during the severe north
east storm last night.
The agents of the Ward line say that
the steamer ashore near Atlantic City
cannot be one of their line as none
of their steamers have been in that vi
cinity last night.
The Panama railroad steampship
company's steamer Allicanta. which
sailed from here yesterday for Colon,
has black funnel with broad white
band marked with the letter ''P'' in
black.
New York, April 27.-A report from
the life saving station says that the
steamer ashore at Atlantic City is the
British steamer Craigneuk, from Ma
tanzas for New York, with cargo of
sugar. The vessel is resting in a good
position and will probably be foated
at high tide.

the machinists and car workers whose
demands, similar to those of the boiler
makers, are now being considered by
the company officials Members of the
machinists' grievance committee are
still in the city awaiting an answer to'
their demands. According to one oc
the members of the committee, the com
pany has granted thus far only the.
same concessions that the boilermakere
received. This concession was for Al

Chicago, April 27.-Although dispos-
ing of an estate valued at only $1,000,
the will of DR. j. Chester Lyman, coll
lector of relics, who died March 20,

tory of the Cook county probate court.
The instrument goes into minute de-
tails, describing each article owned by
the testator, its origin, its history and

thousands of words does the will CON

FOR TAKING GRAFT.
HAN Now Held in the City Prison al
New York.

New York, April 27-Emil A. Sonner
has been placed in the city prison on
an execution procured by man who
says he paid the prisoner 1925 to be
appointed a policeman. Sonner, a few
hours previously, had made state
ment to-District Attorney Jerome along
the lines of tnat made few days ago
by William Duke, who asserted that at
least 100000 had been collected by
him and paid to certain persons ''high-
er up" for positions in the service of
the city. Sonner in his statement is
said to have actually named men con-
nected with the civil service commits
sion Until his statements have been
verified, however, the district attorney
says he will rest in the belief that both
Duke and Sonner were simply engaged
in the business of getting money from
job hunters without rendering them
any service.

SOAP WORKS FIRE
Three Firemen Buried in
the Ruins at New
York.

New York, April 27-Two probation
ary firemen are supposed to be buried
in the ruins of the John Stanley Soap
works in West Both street, which was
destroyed by fire early today. One
other fireman was caught by falling
walls and was taken to Bellevue hos
p7tal, seriously injured. Many mar
row escapes were had by the large
number of fremen who responded to
the four alarms that were sent out,
one great source of danger being the
frequent explosions Of chemicals in
the building.
The damage to the soap works is
estimated at $13O,OOO The lumber
yards of the Dunbar Box and Timber
Co also were badly damaged. The in
jured fireman is Hugo Arragoni, 24
years old. He was buried under tons
of brick, but was released after hard
work, when it was found that lis
back was badly injured and he was
otherwise bruised.
When he was taken from the ruins
Arragoni said that he was sure two
probationary firemen of mis- company
were caught by the walls that buried
him.
They are Thomas r. Madigan and
John Crehan. The spot at which they
are supposed TO nave been caught was
fifteen feet inside of one of the burning
buildings, and after the crash OF the
falling walls was an almost 1nsur-
mountable mass Of bricks, mortar and
timber.
Relief crews were placed at work at
once in the tangled mass, but the
men, if they were buried, undoubtedly
were killed instantly. If they were
not there was no hope of taking them
out alive.
Fire Chief Croker said later that
there was little doubt that the men
We're buried. He said it would be
hours before their bodies could be
reached. as they are buried under hun
dreds of tons of machinery and wreck
age.
The fire in the lumber yards contin-
ued to burn for many hours, but was
held in control The loss is estimated
at $2OO,OOO

POSTMASTER WANTED.

Congressman Sperry Is having a
great deal of trouble in securing any
one as postmaster of Killingworth, a
small town in NIiddlesex county. He
recently appointed. upon the recon-
mendation of the influential men of
tho town, Harry w. Westall, to take
the place of Charles G. Redfield, de-
ceased, but the postoffice department
to-day notified Mr. Sperry that Mr.
Westall declines the appointment.
The office only pays $172 per year and
NAV be further reduced by rural free
delivery, which is soon to cover most
of the town. It looks as though the
postoffice would have to be abolished
as no one wants the office.

Within few days it will be decld-
ed whether or not there will be q
strike among the carpenters and
joiners in this city. The present out
look for an amicable settlement of the
disagreements between the Journey
men Carpenters union and the Master
Builders association is not very
bright.
About two months ago the carpen-
ters decided to include in their agree
ment with the builders for the year
beginning May 4, 1904, a request that
they should be given $3.50 a day in
stead of $3.50, or in other words an
increase of 80 cents day. Shortly
afterwards q conference between the
committees representing both organi-
cations was held. but no agreement
was reached. Since then neither or
ganization has heard officially from
the other. Things have been at a
StandStill.
Last night a meeting of the Car
penters' union was held. 1t was ex-
pected that an Important communion
tion, bearing upon the question of
wages, would be received from the
Master Builders association, but the
men were disappointed. No commun-
ication of any kind was received. This
displeased the men somewhat and
there were some very strong speeches
made.
1t was finally decided to hold a
special meeting on Saturday night. If
no word is received officially from the
builders in the meantime a strike will
be ordered. The men are determined
to- insist upon their demand for in
creased wages They claim that in
other cities in the state carpenters are
ipaid $3.50 and $500 a day. An Of
f1cer of the union said to-day: IF you
could hear the men talking last night
you would know how they stand on
the matter. They believe that they
are entitled ito the Increase and will
insist upon getting it even if they
have to strike"
