THEATRE DINERS SAW IT
 ACT NOT ON THE BILLS
Detectives Made Raid On Marlborough Rathskeler- Walters Have Been Robbing Owners-The Cashier Stood In With the Walters and Was Getting One- Seventh of the Swag.

New York, Nov 4.-SeveraI hundred after theater diners at the Marlbor- ough hotel rathskeller were thrown into state of excitement by the descent of squad of police who blocked every exit while detectives made prisoners of half dozen walters charged with de- frauding the management. 1t is stat ed by the latter that at least $1O,OOO had been stolen when the plot was dis covered.
 There had been long search for the leakage in the receipts, and it was learned that the checks were being tempered with by a girl whose duty it was to mark and check the walters tabs. Tn order to pick out the walters involved, a police captain and detec- tives spent several hours at the res- taurant tables. When they had con- cluded observations a signal was giv- en and men in uniform, approaching with drawn revolvers from the outside, blocked all the doors. The guilty wait CTS were panic stricken and, dropping dishes filled with food, attempted to escape. The young woman checker also was arrested and is said to have confessed having received one-seventh of the profits, of which she had saveG several hundred dollars. She declared one of the men had drawn her into the plot by threatening her, with revoi- yer. A great crowd was drawn to the scene and blocked Broadway for some time

MOTHERS SUIT
 AGAINST "A SON-IN-LAW

The story of how Thomas Duqetre obtained $200 from his mother-in-law, Philomena Ecuyer, was told in the dis trict court this afternoon before Judge Cowell Mrs Ecuyer is suing Duqette for the money.
 Mrs Duqette was loving and con- fidential daughter She had the great est trust in her mother and gave her all her money to keep for her up to the time she became Mrs Duqette. Then, of course, she had use for 1t. One day her husband found he had business for few hundred dollars and he asked his mother-in-law for some mon- sey on the natural grounds that his wife had share in 1t. Mrs Ecuyer ap- solutely refused Thereupon Duqette told to his wife the story of her motn- CTS refusal Wait said his wife, .'I'll go to her and see if she'll refuse me-"
 It was the last thing in the world the old lady would do, refuse her dear ly loved daughter With heart full of love and affection she gave her daughter the money, S2OO, and Mrs Duqette gave it to her husband. Then came the trouble. The old lady learned about the money and demanded it back. Duqette, of course, could not return it, because he did not get any from her, and his wife could not re- turn 1t because she had given 1t to him. But he looked upon 1t as his wife's money, not as his mother-in- law's. And he refused to give 1t back Then came this lawsuit. Attorney Bronson appears for the plaintiff and Attorney Lynch for the defendant.

BUSINESS MEN OBJECT
 TO CHEAP TRIPS

There will be no more cheap trips to New York or Boston on account of the opposition of the business people of the valley. The people will regret this news, for these trips, the second of which took place only last week, were decidedly popular. The number of tickets allotted to Waterbury on the occasions of these excursions was only 400, whereas three times that number could be readily sold. A trip to and from New York for $1, or to and from Boston for $1.50, was like picking up money. They were too good to last long.
 There was good deal of conjecture about these trips. Popular opinion had it that they were the result of tt combination of business people in New York and Boston, who paid the rail- road company the balance of the price of the tickets and then made it up in their sales to the shoppers that were brought to them on the trains.

Wong wouIdn't Have the Queue Cut on and They Broke Open the Safe

Philadelphia, Nov 4.-Lee Wong. who runs laundry on Pulaski avenue rabove Coulter street, wanted to return to China rich. To save his money he bought safe with a combination. His combinations were Chinese. Every time he locked his safe he did 1t irA hieroglyphics.
 Lee Wong last night slammed his safes door. When he tried to walk away he found himself fast. His queue was caught. Then Lee found that he had forgotten the combination. His shrieks brought in Policeman Don nelly of the Germantown station.
 "Florgette combination" walled Lee.
 'sGet knife," said Donnelly.
 Lee jumped up in the air as far as his queue would let him.
 'sNo. mol" he shrieked. No cutie pligtail, no get back to China; damn safee blow it up."
 They could not blow up the safe without sending Lee to his ancestors. Lee would not give up his pigtail.
 Finally they got kit of burglars tools from the police station, with some axes and things like that, and the Germantown cops started to work on the safe. Lee groaned and wept every time blow was struck, but his queue won out.
 After five hours work the safe was wrecked and the pigtail released. Later Lee removed his valuables and sold what was left of the safe to junk man.

II spent fifteen years on the supernumerary force,' said MT Ger aghty, land no charge ever was pre-. ferred against me: I made nothing out of it. either, and the least was entitled to now was an honorable dis. charge. I came home from out of town on two different occasions to do duty, on one occasion leaving a good position to come back Lately L felt that there was no use remaining there any longer and I took my badge and club into the police station and turned them over to the chief, telling him as I turned over the property that was through, which was all the rules of the department required me to do whenever wanted to retire. My repu- tation is worth something to me, even though the department of safety may not think so, and I'm going to see if a board of city officials can treat me that AWay''

FOG WAS THICK.
Business In and Around New York Was Par.
 alyzed.

New York, Nov 4.-A thick blanket of fog which settled down over New York city and harbor during the night seriously disarranged traffic both by land and water early to-day and re suited in at least one serious accident, when river ferryboat was run into and sunk All of her passengers were saved, but number of horses which were being taken across the river went down with the boat and were lost. On the harbor and in the rivers craft of all kinds moved only with the great est care and delay was evident in every quarter. In the city the ele- yated and surface cars suffered serious delay and schedules were practically abandoned. On the elevated lines the dense fog made it impossible for the engineers to distinguish signals at any distance and as consequence the trains which usually make fast time during the rush hours were driven very slowly and thousands of persons were late in reaching the downtown districts. In the outlying sections where the elevated trains take the sur face tracks even greater trouble was met and many annoying delays result ed.
 The ferryboat Columbia; of the Wall street line, was run into and sunk to- day by the Norwich liner City of Lowell There was no loss of life. There was heavy fog on the river at the time of the collision.
 There were about 150 passengers and seventeen teams on board the Co- lumbia at the time of the accident. All of the passengers were taken off in safety, but eight or ten of the horses were drowned. The City of Lowell was coming down the river and in the dense fog struck the Columbia amid ships, just clear of the paddlewheel. The Columbia fioated around for awhile and then began to settle. A hawser was thrown from the City of Lowell and the Columbia made fast and all the passengers, so far as known, were taken on board the steamboat Later the hawser parted i'll some unacocuntable manner and the Columbia finally sank near one of the slips of the Union Ferry Go on the Brooklyn side. Captain William Cole was in charge of the Columbia which has been making trips from Montague street, Brooklyn, to Wall street, New York, for thirty years.
 While entering her slip at the Bat tery the Staten island ferryboat Rob-
  as result of submerged log becom- ing entangled in her paddlewheel.
 The boat was laid up for repairs but 1t is expected that she would re- sume her trips later in the day.
 The new steamer General Johnson of the Federal quartermaster's de- partment, went ashore on Governors island during the dense fog to-day.
 The Garden City, ferryboat plying between Long Island city and New York, had many narrow escapes from serious damage during one of her trips up through the dense fog. Seven times she collided with various craft before she reached her slip in this city. The only serious damage sustained by the Garden City was when she bumped into the big steamer Maine. A hole was stove in the ferryboat's side and a portion of her guard rail was carried away. The hole was far above the water line. however, and the ferryboat did not sink. The Garden City had 100 passengers.

WANT THE EARTH.
Claimants Looking For a Strip of.
 Manhattan.


 New York, Nov 4.-Another effort is to be made by expectant heirs to re- claim large strip of Manhattan is- land. The claimants all reside in southern states and number 15O. They are headed by J. T. Cowan of Dallas, Tex, and are descendants of Andrew Hartsfeld, who in 1795 leased to the city of New York 16O acres west of Central park, between Seventy third and 126th streets. This property is estimated to-day to be worth $5OO,- 100000
 A firm of lawyers has been retained here and several well known attorneys in the south are to assist in the effort to recover the great fortune and the heavy rentals due on the property.
 COwan claims to have in his posses sion the original lease and scores of letters written and received by his ancestors relative to the transaction. The land was leased for period of ninety-nine years and day, and for a consideration of one dollar an acre. 1t was to be used for municipal pur- poses, the original idea being to con- vert 1t into park. Shortly after the lease was given, the Hartsfield family removed to Wake county, North Car olina, and now the heirs are found in six of the southern states. Among them are several judges, one United States senator, and twenty-five or thirty wealthy men.
 For nearly a week search has been made but without success, through the early records of the city to find copy of the lease or some entry showing that it was recorded. The heirs de- lSfNx t1na4 Ixse necessary to their case and are now trying to procure from the state rec ords at Albany certified copy of the grant from Great Britain. by which the original Hartsf1eld became the owner of the Iand

DENIES THE STORY.

St Petersburg, Nov 4, 1 p. m.-W While no formal reply will be made to the Japanese protest regarding the use of Chinese clothes by the Russian troops, it is understood that Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, when the protest was pre- sented, informally but categorically denied the truth of the charge that there had been violation of the Ge- neva convention. He explained that there might have been some isolated cases where soldiers whose winter overcoats had not arrived had donned Chinese oyercoats, but not for the pur- pose claimed.
