lutely to divulge the identity of the
drowned persons. The rescued were
landed at Stapleton, Staten Island,

BIRTHDAY OF GRAND DUKE.
Assoclated Press Cable to The Evening

Berlin, Sept. 15.-The little duchy of
Saxe-Altenburg is preparing for elab-
crate festivities tomorrow in celebra-
ton of the eightieth birthday of it's
ruler, Duke Ernst. The duke has oc-
cupied the throne for more than fifty
years. His consort died nine years ago
leaving no male issue. and the next
heir to the throne is the Dukes only
brother. Moritz. Prince Moritz, who
is man of n years, enjoys the repu-
tation of being the most utterly blase
man in Europe, and, although in per-
feet physical condition, had been in the
habit of staying in bed for weeks, not
because he was ailing, but simply be-
cause, to use his own words. there was
nothing worth getting up for" Under
the circumstances it is probable that
when the present ruler passes away
Prince Moritz will abandon his rights
of succession to his only son. Prince
Ernst, on the ground that it would be
too much of bore" to reign. Prince
Erst is IS years old and is married to
Princess Adelaide of Schaumburg-
Lippe.

BURGLARY
attempt ED
AT BREWERY

The timely discovery prevented a
burglary at the Clarksburg brewery
at 9 o'clock Monday morning. Of
ficers Richard Brooks and l.. u.
White had been detailed to that
point. the chief having been in-
formed by wire that gang OF
thieves were following the circus,
and at--the hour mentioned they
heard a noise at the brewery. Upon
investigation they found a gang
alongside the brewery on the Short
street side and another gang in the
rear of the brewery. But as the Of
ficers approached the fellows fled
toward the railroad crossing and
separating at that point ran both
ways. There were eight or ten men
in the gang. In making their es-
cape they fell over beer kegs and
doubtless injured themselves but
that did not hinder them from
scamping away. The officers fired a
few shots at them, but, 50 lar as Is
known, did not hit them.
Just previous to the discovery a
colorcd man approached the officers
and inquired whore he could get
some beer They told him there
would be no place until 5o'clock. the
hour for opening the saloons. Then
upon their return from a patrol OF
the beat, they discovered the fellows
trying to break into the brewery.
Had the officers not beef detailed
to that section of the city the brow
cry would.doubtless have been burg
larized and other places might also
have been broken into.
