THIEVES AT HORSE SHOW.
Press toe Raided In the Night and Cigars
and WhIskey taken.

Central 0n1ce detectives were busy at
Madison Square Garden yesterday trying
to find out who had robbed the place in
the early hours of the morning. The door
leading to the press room had been twisted
of and the room was turned topsy turvy.
The thieves got awav with $50 cigars
that were locked in a desk. Two pairs
Of field glasses were also taken. One OF
these pairs belonged TO a newspaper mar
and the other pair was the property Of
F. Augustus Schermerhorn, who is the
representative Of the directors in the press
gallery.
A bottle OF whiskey, which the -Only
Dennis" one Of James Villipigue the ca
terer's walters, had carefully tucked in a
drawer, was also gone. Dennis had been
presented with this bottle by one OF the
Horse Show management and he had ex-
pected TO take 1t home. An attempt was
made to get away with the typewriter OF
a newspaper but a stout chain con-
Meeting the machine with a desk prevented.
Watchmen employed in the building
say that the press room door was all right
at / O'Clock in the morning. The detect
ives questioned the hostlers and Others
who we're about the place, but we're unable
get any clue. The Madison Square
Garden watchmen declare that no one
could have gained an entrance from the
outside, and that had a crook or several
crooks remained In the place after the
crowd filed out a door would show where
they left the building. All exits, the watch
men said, were bolted in good shape when
the early morning inspection wa made.

E.. Dervteux Encounters Three
EOOinads in the Woods.

( Francis f.. Dervieux, who has a dyeing
business at 22S West ll6th street and who
lives in Fort Lee, N. j., fought of three
highwaymen Friday evening near his home
and escaped with his valuables. He was
badly hurt by a blow on the head which one
OF the robbers gave him.
Mr.. Dervieux gets home from business
about 73O every evening. Usually be car
ries a small hand satohel filed with articles
of clothing or business papers. La t
Thursday afternoon while he was passing
through a clump Of woods pack of Fort Lee
near his home he noticed three men who
seemed TO be interested in his movements
and who eyed the satchel closely.
They made no attempt to modest him, but
after he had gone past them a little way
he caught a scrap OF their talk. One OF
them said: Il guess we are a little late to-
day for the job, but it will keep. He's got
the grip all right" Mr.. Dervieux thought
little of the remark and didn't observe the
men closely.
On Friday evening he carried the satchel
as usual. In his pockets was a good sized
roll Of bills, perhaps $500. and a gold watch
and chain, and he wore a diamond stud that
he valued at $500. In Jersey he left the
trolley line at Cella's road and started to
walk home. He took. as usual, a short cut
through a thick woods within half a mile Of
his house.
As he got near the spot where he had seen
the three men the afternoon before the
same three. wearing black masks. jumped
out from behind a growth Of bushes. Mr..
Dervieux leaped back and started to run,
but one OF the men caught up withthim
and struck him on the head with what Mr..
Dervieux thought was a jimmy. He was
half stunned by the blow n would have
been helpless IL Capt. Anthony OBrien, who
had heard his cry for help, hadn't shown
up, running through the woods from the
direction OF his home. Capt. O'Brien was
unarmed, but he went straight for the three
highwaymen, who had started TO search
Mr.. Dervieux's pockets.
Mr.. Dervieux struggled to his feet when
he saw his friend and prepared to make a
fight Of it. Capt. O'Brien shouted for help
and struck at one Of the men with his fist.
The man drew a revolver and levelled 1t at
O'Brien.
You beat it or you'll get a bullet through
Mr.. Dervieux had a chance TO get away
and he made the most OF his chance. The
three men then threatened O'Brien with
the revolver and reiterated through the
woods. They got nothing. Mr.: D~ervieux,s
head was cut deeply and badly bruised.
He went to a doctors as soon as he could
after getting home, and then reported the
attempted boldup to the Fort Lee police.
He described one Of the men as stout, an
other as heavy and tall and the third AZ a
thin little man.
Il am sure that the highwaymen were the
same that l saw Thursday" said Mr..
Dervieux. They probably noticed that l
was in the habit Of carrying a satchel home
and supposed hat l carried large sums
of money in il. The fact is I never car
ried money that way and seldom have a
large sum in my pockets. Last evening the
satchel contained nothing but laundry l
had had done in Manhattan"

OPPOSE COLONY FOR THE BLIND.
Ex-Ileut. -GOv. Jones One OF Those who
Object to Carmen SylvA's scheme.

The experiment of Queen Carmen Sylvia
OF Rumania in establishing a colony for
blind people has aroused much interest In
this country. Mrs. Francis Fearn, who has
recently been much with Queen Carmen
Sylvia, has announced that she will shortly
return to America and attempt to inaugu-
rate some of the Queens charities for the
blind in this country.
On Friday afternoon q number Of prorni-
nent blind people and friends OF the blind
met at the home Of Miss Winifred Holt, secre-
tary OF the New York Association for the
Blind. and discussed this idea Of the blind
colony. There were present besides the
Misses Holt n Mrs. Hewitt, who is a very
active worker in the interests OF the ass ocia-
ton, DR.. Carl, a blind man. who was for
many years a professor in Columbia College;
o.. H. Burritt, superintendent of the State
School for the Blind at Batavia, n. Y; DR..
+. E. Allen, superintendent Of the School for
the Blind at Philadelphia, Pa; DR.. F. Park
Lewis Of Buffalo, N. Y; Walter G. Holmes Of
the ZiegIer Magazine for The Blind; Eben
Morford, q blind man. who is superintendent
Of the very successful Industrial Home for
the Blind in Brooklyn, and Gen. Edward F..
Jones Of Binghamton, NY, ex-Lieutenant-
Governor OF the State, who has been blind
for several years.
The objection to ~segregating the blind
w. 10y NAVSNnoONg oAhd oAAiOAAS NNo iV"
sons offered for opposing such a plan was
that the blind should associate as much as
possible with seeing people and learn their
ways; and that il was much easier for them
to earn a livelihood when assisted by and in
the sympathy Of sighted people. The great
est objection of all was that if Thrown together
there was the great danger OF intermarriage
among blind people.
Gen. Jones was most positive In his state
ments along this line.
Il do wish the press Of the country would
take the matter up, and oppose any such
idea,' he said. Il shall bitterly oppose this
idea Of ~segregating the blind in colonies as
having no good features and very many
disastrous ones. The s-uperintendents OF
every school for the blind in the States will
indorse my views on this subject. An ex-
pertinent was made in an Iowa town some
years g in a small way of establishing a
colony for the blind and 1t soon resulted in a
rapidly growing colony Of blind children,
so much so that real estate went down to
almost nothing in the town, n the under
taking was abandoned

SKELETON FOUND INTACT.
But No Horn. DOg or q Buried with
Missionary william Leeds.

RED BANK, N. j., Nov. 24.-The remains OF
William Leeds were removed to-day from
the old Church farm at Lincroft to the
Episcopal burying ground at Shrewsbury.
Mr.. Leeds was one Of the early settlers Of
East Jersey and vas sent here from England
by the society for the propagation OF the
gospel in foreign lands.
He was a farmer az well as a missionary
and found time amidst his church duties to
cultivate a large tract OF land. He bought
the tract comprising Leedsville from the
Kickaton tribe of Indians in 1880.
About fifty years later Mr.. Leeds died,
leaving his acres to the Episcopal Church
Of Shrewsbury. The skeleton Of the old
missionary remained entire. Tradition said
that Mr.. Leeds's horse, dog and gun were
buried with him, but this was disproved
when the remains were exhumed to-day.
