AWFUL DEATH
TEAMsTER HURL.
ED FROM BRIDGE NEARLY
ONE HUNDRED FEET HIGH.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-Throngs
of people passing along Delaney
street, under the Williamsburg bridge
this morning witnessed sight that
made their blood run cold. 1t was
that of man being hurled from the
bridge at height of nearly one hum
.dred feet, his body turning several
somersaults in the air and striking
on the stone pavement of the street
causing scene that made women faint
and the strong hearts of men weaken.
The unfortunate man was driver
employed by the Williamsburg News
company. He was driving across the
bridge on one of that company's de-
livery wagons when the horse became
frightened, supposedly at passing
trolley and ran away. The driver was
seen to tug at the reins in a vain en-
Geavor 10 stop the animal. Reaching
point on the bridge about over Lew
is street the wagon swerved against
the curb and the impact was sufficient
to throw the driver from his seat like
a shot. His body few over the guard
rail to the street below where it was
picked up mass of broken bones
and crumpled flesh. An ambulance
surgeon said that death had been in
stantaneous. The body was removed
to the Delaney street police station,
where It was identified by union
cprd found in the pockets, as William
A. Furisch, S5 years of age. No ad-
dress was given. The horse contin-
ued on its run to the New York end
OF the bridge where it was stopped by
employees who saw it coming and
closed the gates.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
TO BE USED TO PREVENT RAIL
WAY WRECKS IN GER
MANY.

y WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
Wireless telegraphy's new function
will be the prevention of railway acci-
dents. Consul Ernest L. Harris, at
Chemnitz, Germany, writes that the
German government has conducted
exhaustive experiments on the mill.
tary. railway between Berlin and Zos-
sen, telegraph stations and trains be-
ing equipped with wireless apparatus.
Ordinary telegraph lines were also
used to facilitate the, work. Expert
ments proved conclusively that the va
rious stations could communicate
with trains running at full speed. In
case of emergency, warning could be
flashed to trains, and communication
established under circumstances pro-
hibitiye of signalling by the old sys-
tenn. The wireless device is believed
to be of special value on single track
lines with trains running in both d.
rections. Recent railway accidents
in Germany will, it is believed, lead
to a general installation of wireless
on railways.

GUILTY OF THE MURDER OF Az,
eusTus PFEIFFER, is THE
VERDICT OF POLICE.
BADLY BITTEN HAND AND HIS
CONTINUED ABSENCE RE-
sPoMsIsLE FOR THIS BE-
LIEF.


NEW YORK, Sept. 1s.-The police
have discovered fact, which. ac-
cording to their theory, removes the
last trace of doubt as to the guilt
of Joseph Girard. the missing team
ster, whom they accuse of the murder
of Augusta Pfeiffer. whose body was
found in taicket on the Pelham road
on Saturday. This fact is that when
Girard arrived home late Wednesday
night he had badly bitten right
hand.
In the opinion of the police this
bite was inflicted by the girl when
she was struggling for her life.
Another mystery that the police are
trying to solve in connection with the
murder is the place where the girls
body was kept from the time the
crime was committed Wednesday
night until 1t was found Saturday.
There is the possibility of an accom-
plice, who took care of the girl, max
ing no effort to restore her or to help
her, but hiding her during the two
days that followed the crime. A
dairyman has been found who says
that on Friday he beat the thickets
