by Io-year-old Helen George, of 81 john
son street, Brooklyn, who has been So

ers whom she never saw or heard OF
before that she has been driven i'll by
their attentions. For more than 10 days.
the girl was unable to set foot in the
street without being logged by one or
more of the men, who, waited for her
at darkened corners and even camped
all night on her doorstep. The fact that
her two brothers thrashed one of her
suitors so severely that he almost need
ed the services of an ambulance sur
geon, and the arrest of another of the
men by the police seems not to have
abated the fervor of the remainder. The
man arrested was Antoine Bardare, 40
years old. The police believe that some
disappointed sutton has hired num-
Der of braves to prosecute the girl. De-

CURED on Monday, at the rush hour,
shortly after o'clock, Elizabeth Smith,
an operator for the Western Electric
Company, who lives at 72 East One
Hundred and Twentieth street, began to
scream and cry and to throw herself
about the car in the widest Mysteries,

the disaster in their dying agonies. Her
condition grew more violent and danger
GUS, and those on the train failing to
control her, the motorman blew the
police whistle, and at Fifty-ninth street
Policeman Holland boarded the train
and sent her to Roosevelt Hospital.
There, in her lucid intervals, it was
learned she had been on the doomed
train on Monday morning, and escaped
from the third car, the one which hung
over the structure and whose trucks fell
into the street, killing those below. She
declared the glimpse of the scene of
the tragedy had brought the whole hor-
ror OF Monday morning back upon her
with uncomfortable force, and she suf-
fered ten times the anguish she expert
enced in her escape from among the
dead and dying.
Thomas French, II. years old, and
student at the High School at East
Orange, N. J., has been arrested by
postofice inspectors charged with send
ing threatening letters to Valentine Ri
ker, also of East Orange, an officer of
an insurance company, and with mailing
to Mr.. Riker three internal machines.
These contrivances are said to resem-
BILE the ones received recently at the
Offices of Jacob H. Schiff and M. Gug-

has never been away from home. In
the garnet of his mothers house he had

missions he is said to have made to the
officers, he constructed the three ma
chimes which he mailed to Mr. Riker.
The boy, it is also alleged, showed the

of them he had made check marks, and
it is said he admitted that fires had
been rung in on these boxes, and that
he was fond of fires.

A burglar with distinctly humorous
vein visited the historic home of DR..
