THIEVES ON RIVERSIDE.
Children and Servants Chosen as YiC-
Tins by Hold-up Gangs.

Petty thieves have been so busy in Riverside
Drive. in the lower eighties" that for several
weeks it has been unsafe for anybody 10 go
through the Drive in that neighboraood after
midnight. Children and servants who have been
out after dark have been the victims for the
most part.
Nest Of the hOld-up men are tTamps who Iurk
in the park and around the freight ears on the
New York Central tracks which lie between the
river and Riverside Park. \ tough gang OF
youths who make their headquarters around
SD street and Amsterdam avenue are believed
to I've responsible for many Of the numerous
petty hold-ups. but the police have been unable
TO fasteu any charge upon them.
Complaints have been made frequently 10 the
police OF the West 6Sth street station. and Cap
tain Burfeind has sent his men up there TO clean
out the gang. While the men were in the neigh
borhoOd the hOld-ups ceased. but the moment
they turned their backs the gangs were back at
work. The Holmes patrolman. who has a beat
at SD street and the Drive. has half a dozen
times in the last fortnight saved servant girls

DRUG FIRMS MERGE.
LAY PLANS FOR BATTLE.
Cas1oeu-Massey and Hegeman Cor
p0rations VIII Fight for Trade.

Within few days new drug store will be
opened at Broadway and Vesey street beneath the
old AstOr House CnimpOrtant as such a move
would ordinarily be, there indications that it
really marks the opening of a titanic struggle be-
tween two huge corporations. each with unlimited
capital. and each seeking control the drug store
trade Of the city.
1t is the location of the store and its owner
ship that lends color to the rumors heard
in the drug trade. Diagonally the way.
down Broadway a little, is the headquarters of the
Hegemap corporation. and across the road, on
Park Row is another store owned by the same cor
poration and only recently acquired by them.
The owners of the Astor House store are Caswell.
Massey & Co. 1t is between these two companies
that is said be likely
Caswell. Massey & Co. of the oldest and
best known firms in the city with main store at
Fifth and 25th street and branches at
Fifth avenue and 47th street and Columbus ave-
and I'D street was recently incorporated under
the name of the Caswell-AIassey Company, with

In an interview recently given by Mr. Knight to
a representative of The American Druggist he is
quoted saying:

the Casweil- Massey Company was to be formei
until after the company had been incorporated and
handle the products Of these corporations. That
say that intend to deal only in the highest class
of drugs, proprietary articles and merchandise.
The success of the corporation is assured.
1t is understood that since Mr. Knight gave this
interview arrangements have been made with Mr.
Liggett whereby his concerns come into the merger
which is therefore of great strength. It is
further said that the corporation has been dcker-
ing for locations for stores and that some
have been acquired.
On the other hand is the powerful Hegeman
Corporation of which John II. Flagler is president
The friendly relation Of the Flagers with the
Standard Oil interests is well known and it is
generally beIeved th't much Standard Oil money
is invested in the company. particularly that of H.
II. Rogers. Like its competitor, the Hegeman con
eern has recently reached out for locations
It now has nine stores, eight in Manhattan and
one in Brooklyn Several of these have been
opened since the beginning OF the year. When
seen by Tribune reporter Mr. Flagler was not
disposed to reveal the details OF his company's
plans. saying
II is true that we have opened several new
stores and that contemDlate oDenng others
In fact negotiations pending the acquisition
OF several in what consider favorable locations
bur I am not prepared to say at the present time
how extensive plans are. In few days / may
have something OF interest 70 say on the matter.
The fact that the Hcgcman Corporation has in
vaded Brooklyn is taken as another sign that the
relations between ii and the CasWc Massey con-
Germ are scarcely friendly. for the Hegeman store
IN Brooklyn is in the territory of the Bolton Drug
Company. which is In the Caswell combination. If
war is declared tho drug trade looks to some
heavy rate cutting for time. until. perhaps. the
two corporations combine, or. at least, reach
understanding as TO territory and prices

THINK STRANGERS A spy
ON STREET CAR EMPLOYEES
Local Conductors and Motorman
Have Noticed mysterious Strang-
er" at Eighth and Main Streets for
Several Days.

Who is the man, What is he
doing standing there all day." and Il
wonder what he is up to-" are the
questions that are being propounded
by the street car men of the city, over
the appearance of a certain man who
has been standing at the corner OF
Eighth and Main streets, for the past
two or three days. The man, accord
ing to the stories of the car men, is
on the spot every time the cars meet
at that point, and yesterday, many
of the employees of the city lines, be-
gan to think that 1.-The mysterious
stranger" had been placed there for
a purpose, by the street car company.
Why, he had been sent to that point
to spy on them they do not know,
but the belief that such is his mission
is gradually fastening it's hold on the
minds of the motormen and conduc-
tors. They say that they can see no
other reason, why a man should
stand on the same spot all day long
for three days in succession.
