MOST POWERFUL YET

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, May 2s.-
Engine No. 24e0, built by the sche-
nectady plant OF the American Loco
motive company for the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, will be taken next
week to ST. Louis, where it will be
exhibited as the most prominent feat
ure inS the transportation building
at the worlds fair.
The locomotive is the most power
full ever built. The design follows
that of the Mallet compound used for
heavy hauling. There are six pairs
OF driving wheels. Three pairs are
under the forward end OF the boiler
and the remaining three beneath the
frebox. The driving wheels are quite
small, being but sc inches In diane
ter. The weight is $4,000 pounds.
Preliminary tests conducted here go
to show that the locomotive is IN
times more powerful than any other
locomotive ever constructed.

CRIME IN new YORK

NEW YORK, May 2s.-There seems
to be a perfect epidemic of crime in
this city at present, particularly
crimes against the person, and the
daily papers are filled with the most
sensational stories of murders, sui
cides, mysterious disappearance, etc.
During the last three months the
number Of children and grown per-
sons who have mysteriously disap-
peared was unusually great and 1t
may be added that the police depart
ment of Greater New York has not
distinguished itself by it's success in
finding traces Of the missing persons.
One of the most sensational cases Is
the disappearance of Mrs. Leroy
Jones, the wife of wealthy man and
quite prominent in society circles.
The disappearance of the woman hs s
led to the unearthing Of a good sized
skeleton IN the Jones family closet.

loss of perhaps $500, fully covered by

G. w. Odgers.
The fire department made one OF the
most sensational runs to the scene on
record. The streets were crowded
when the alarm was turned in and 1t is
a wonder that no one was run over
when the department crossed River
side avenue. Business was stopped for
noon and the corner was thronged.
Scarcely had the department arrived

TWO GIRLS ELOPE

Jack Waters told the following
story Of the affair this morning:
EARLY yesterday afternoon two
girls came to the barn-I know them
by sight-and just about then the
telephone rang. went to answer it
and found one of the girls with the
receiver to her ear. took it rom
her and then she asked me If I'd
loan her and her friend the two BIZ
cycles. They claimed to know the
owners. refused them the wheels
and returned to my work. When
again went to the Office the girls and
the wheels were gone. A man who had
been sitting there during the CONVEX
sation told me they had taken the
wheels.
II afterward heard one Of the girls
name was Grace Comstock. Some
body also told me he saw them rid

hAR|0h BLOCK WILL De
CLEANED OUT

The Bringgold case is nearing an
end. The testimony has all been
taken. On Tuesday the argument in
the case will be heard. Some start
ling testimony has been introduced in
the last few days, little of which re-
bounded to the credit of Otto Bring
gold. Seven letters alleged to have
been written by Bringgold to a wom-
an named Emma Harder were intro
duced. In these letters 1t appears
that Otto represented to the woman
that he was an unmarried man and
that he was engaged to marry her.
In one letter she asked why he did
not come to Portland and marry her
as he promised. The Harder woman
is the woman with whom Bringgold
connected J. r. Woodley when he
broke up the latters family. Bring
gold some time ago told Mrs. Wood
ley that her husband was intimate
with this woman.
From Bringeold's testimony It APP
pears that the woman was not in the
city for year previous to the time
she was alleged to have been in the
care of woodley. The latter is a we'll
known real estate and mining man in
the city. Woodley was called to tes-
tify against Bringgold. Before the
court could stop him he called Bring
gold a black cur, q liar and other
uncomplimentary epithets. 1t has APP
peared in the testimony that besides
the Woodley family Bringgold has
broken up the family Of Jasper ELK
man.
Before the plaintiff closed her case
Lulu White was called and testified
that about a week ago Bringgold
came to her and offered her $40 to
accompany him to a room. The White
woman lived in the Marion block.
Yesterday William Beaton and Kitty
Dixon swore that the White woman
admitted to them that she had testi-
fed to a lie. Beaton is proprietor of

His death leaves void, not only in

1t is said by his friends that as Il
