ELECTRIC TRAINS ON CENTRAL.
Motor Engines Now Take Trains as
Far as Highbridge.

ltEW YORK, December 1.-THE Yonkers
commuter is giving thanks today for the
Installation of electric trains on the liud-
son River division of the New York Central
railroad At 12:11 yesterday noon the first
train hauled by an electric motor car left
the Grand Central station and was well
loaded with passengers. The electric en-
CINE only carried the car as far as High
bridge From Highbridge on to Yonkers
a steam locomotive took its place. There
after all the Yonkers trains were operated
by electricity.
AS soon as possible the electric service
will be extended on the Hudson River d.
vision from Highbridge up to Yonkers.
The trains on the Harlem division are also
to be electrically operated in the course Of
time.
officials of the New York Central in
charge of the electric division refuse to
make any guess as to when the electrifica-
ton will be completed on the Hudson River
division or begun on the Harlem division.
They will only say las soon as possible"
There was no announcement beforehand
by the Central officials that the electric
service would begin yesterday No cele-
bration of any kind marked the occasion.
The temporary terminal which has been
built under the Grand Central Palace at
43d street and Lexington avenue will be
opened tomorrow morning for the dispatch
ing and receiving of all trains running over
the Harlem division. 1t is believed that this
will do much to relieve the congestion at
the 42d street station.

NUBIAN MANUSCRIPTS FOUND.
First Of Their Kind-German Expert
Buys Them in Egypt.

BERLIN, December IA discovery Of
great Importance to philology and history
has just been made at Cairo by Carl
Schmidt, Germant savant, who Is an au-
thority on Coptic and the early Christian
archaeology of Upper Egypt. Some insig-
nificant sheets of parchment, supposed to
be late Coptic manuscripts Of small value,
were offered to him for sale. He at once
noticed that the language was not Coptic.
He concluded from the recurrence Of the
word "Uru," which among modern Nubians
means king, that the text was written in
Nuban. This was q great discovery, since
Nubian, although still spoken, has long
ceased to be a written language. AS soon,
therefore, as the documents can be fully
deciphered pathological science will be
richer by knowledge OF the language spoken
vasion of the Semitic tribes.
probably now be possible to read the in
scriptions on a large number OF ancient
monuments in Egypt, which heretofore
have been a mystery. These will doubtless
throw light on the history Of the earliest
Nubian races.
Herr Schmidt has ascertained already
that two of the Nubian fragments are
translations of Christian works. The first
consists of a collection of extracts from
the New Testament, and the second of a
hymn to the cross. There are frequent
references. to st. Paul. Unfortunately the
Greek original of the hymn is not known.
The manuscripts date from the eighth
century AID.

NEW YORK. December 12.-After fu-

IRISH, widow Of Henry Graham Hilton, In
his heyday one of the handsomest and
gayest of New FORKS golden youth, was

cremated. Following the hearse was q

" more than half dozen mourners stand
ing on the decaying porch of the once
magnificent Hilton mansion on Norris
Heights watched the humble procession.
The service was read by Rev. DR.. Camp

utes the minister. who made no allusion
to the dead woman. committed her body
to the dust. and the service was over. Her
brother, George Rollins. and Samuel Trick
were the two who followed the body.
These simple scenes closed the career OF
one Of the loveliest and brightest women in
American theatrical life.

MARYLAND TOBACCO.
Another Move to Encourage Industry
in the State,

BALTIMORE, Nd, December 12.-It was
announced yesterday that the subcom-
mittee appointed at the recent meeting of
the state tobacco warehouse commission
to formulate plan for the erection of a
new state tobacco warehouse would meet
next Monday to make it's final report.
1t was learned from authoritative
sources that the subcommittee will recon-
| mend the building of a new up-to-date
concrete fireproof building.
The question Of the proposed erection Of
new state tobacco warehouse has at
tracted general attention throughout the
state, and the advisability of such course
on the part of the commission has been
widely discussed. 1t is said that the COM
mission has arrived at the conclusion that
1t is best to build new warehouse because
the growers of the state, or at least eight
out of every ten of them, favor such
course
The structure will be of concrete, eight
stories high, and will cover the entire lot
to the south of Conway street, 100 feet IN
width and 800 feet deep. The building Is
to face Light street and run through to
Charles street.
The members Of the committee believe
that Maryland needs a modern tobacco
warehouse where the crop can be handled
and the business connected with the trade
can be centralized. To accomplish this the
building is to be equipped with a sales
room, or exchange. where the planter, his
consignee and the buyer of the product can
meet and transact business
For several years the tobacco industry of
Maryland has deteriorated, and it Is now
thought that by centralizing the trade in
one place that the grower, the buyer and
the seller will all be benefited.
Three state tobacco warehouses are in
operation in this city, each practically on
an Independent plan, inasmuch as the dep
uty inspectors have a go-as-you-please race
in securing patronage This results in some
of the warehouses getting more than others.
A movement Is on foot looking to the re-
meval of the state tobacco warehouses
from politics. If the commission, which
was appointed under an act of the last leg
iSlature, finds that its plans are working
satisfactorily, it Is proposed to introduce
law at the next session of the leg IS. ature
taking out of the hands of the governor
the appointment of inspectors and subordi-
mates for the warehouses and transferring
to the Tobacco Growers Association of
southern Maryland the power to make such
appointments.
The money for the new warehouse is al
ready in hand. About $275OOO was re-
ceived from insurance on the old houses,
known as Nos 1 and 2, which were de-
stroyed in the fire of 1904, and the remain
der Is made up Of money received from the
city for old No. g. which is to be used in
the widening of Light street. This money
is claimed by the tobacco growers of Mary
land, who originally furnished the means
for the construction of the state ware
houses.

STOLE CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
Post Office Inspectors Accuse Charles
May Of Rifling Mail Packages.

NEW YORK. December 1.-THE Big Eye
peeked through the little hole In the wall
at the branch post Office at Madison ave-
nue. and 44th street yesterday and saw
something curious going on in the distrib-
uting department., where the clerks were
sorting and preparing to send over the rail-
roads the Christmas presents for the old
folks at home throughout New England.
'Ah!" said the Big Eye. 80 that's what
becomes Of all those missing Xmas gifts"
A little later Postal Inspectors Jacobs and
Meyer entered the large room where the
clerks were at work and took away
Charts May, twenty-one years old, who
had been appointed only fifteen months ago.
He was arraigned before the federal au-
thorities and held in s., 500 bail for a further
hearing.
According to the inspectors. May made
a partial confession and gave evidence
which enabled them to find number of
packages which had been rif1ed of their
contents The specific charge on which
the accused clerk was held was the taking
from the mails of scarf pin sent out by
the J. NJ Miller Company Of 9Th avenue and
21st street.
At the rooms Of the inspectors in the
general post Office was a big bundle of
empty packages and articles which it was
alleged May had taken from the mails and
thrown away. Many things have been
missed recently from the Madison avenue
post Office, which is the biggest distribute
ing station in the city.
