| Again Frightening Women.-"Over-
coat Jack" is again reported on the
streets, and one of his variety is said
to have frightened women at the cor
| ner of Eleventh street and Fourth av-
enue Monday night. He is described
as wearing a felt hat and small coat.
He is also alleged to have been in the
vicinity of Fourth avenue and Nine
teenth street Tuesday evening, and
quite a search was made for him with
out success. This mysterious person
age has continued to appear from time
to time even since the capture of one
of his ilk last spring on the Sixteenth
street hill. and all effort to capture
him has proven unavailing.

were killed by a freight train Monday
night The services were held yester-
day at II O'Clock in the Christ Epis-
copal church and the Greek priest
from Chicago officiated. Three hears
es were used and every carriage in the
city was used to carry the mourners
Five oranges were placed in one of
the collins, beside the deceased, who
it is said was a Greek Mason. and this
custom is practiced in the old country
At the conclusion of the services all
of the Greeks who attended, formed
n line and passed by the dead bodies,
kissing each one, which is another
custom of their native land. Burial
was made at Riverside and all three
were inferred in the same lot.
