BREAK CLASS AND
STEAL DIAMONDS
Daring Robbers Loot Show Window of
Fleming JeWeIry Store Just
After Patroman Passes
the Spot

More than a thousand dollars worth
of diamonds, watches and set rings
were stolen from the jewelry store OF
j. c. Fleming, AL South Broadway,
between 1850 and II o'clock last night,
by daring robbers who gained access
to the Valuables by breaking the heavy
plate glass front window with a rock.
The robbery was cleverly planned.
Patrolman Christin passed the store at
1850 and everything was all right at
that time. Ten minutes later he again
approached and the front window was
broken and the jewelry gone.
The loot obtained by the robbers con-
sisted of 112 rings set with different
kinds of stones; forty-five diamond
stickpinS and fifteen watches.
1t is probable the robbers lay in wait
until the policeman was seen to pass
the store the first time and then did
their work. The rock with which the
window was broken weighs about two
pounds and had evidently been carried
there for that purpose.
SO far as could be learned no person
heard the window break, although
many were on the street at that hour
The robbers left no clew as to their
identity and no suspicious characters
were seen in that neighborhood during
the night. Detectives were at once
detailed on the case.
The robbery is somewhat similar to
the one committed at 209 South Main
street a month ago. when a number Of
watches and valuable rings were taken,

that institution from a baby having

DR.. Elmendorf was in charge of the

Dr. Elmendorf thought nothing of

Disaster the Worst In the History of
West Virginia-Men Are Amer
leans and Leave Large
Families
Special to The Herald.


CHARLESTON, w. Va, Jan.
29.-With a detonation heard for
miles and hurting debris hundreds
of feet in the air, dust in the Stuart
mine near Fayetteville exploded
this afternoon bringing a terrible
death to eighty or more men who
were at work 500 feet below the
surface.
There is no chance that any will
be taken out alive, for it is thought
that the terrific force of the explo-
sion snuffed out their lives in
stantly. 1t will not be possible
for rescuers to reach the bottom of
the shaft for forty-eight hours.
The disaster is perhaps worst in
the number of killed in the history
of the state. Most of the men
were Americans, many of them
were married men and had large
families. There were a dozen or
more colored men and about
twenty aliens among the victims.
The rescue work was begun as
soon as the shaft house could be
repaired. About two hours after
the explosion three men were
lowered into the shaft in an inn
provised bucket. Before descend
ing seventy-two feet two were
overcome and the other was
barely able to give the signal to
hoist. Further attempts were
abandoned.
Air was supplied by large fans
but the mechanicism was dam
aged and the fans were idle for
about two hours. The fans have
started again and if the men were
not all killed it may be that they
will have air enough to survive
until the rescuers reach them.
The Stuart mine has one open
ing only, although an entry has
been driven to connect with a par
allel mine a short distance away.
The shaft has three compart-
ments, two for the cages and one
for air. Smoke and dust poured
into the air shaft for hundreds of
feet from the ventilating COM
partment and it was wrecked.
It is stated that, nearly all the
men were at work in the entries
near the bottom of the shaft.
No official announcement of the
disaster or it's cause has yet been
made by officials of the company.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-Fire
which started from an explosion in a
paint shop destroyed an entire section
of the big Baldwin Locomotive Works
tonight, entaiing a loss of $1,OO0000.
The destroyed building was about 175
feet long by $50 deep, Immediately ad-
joining the main office at Broad and

These buildings were threatened, as
were other departments along Spring
Garden street and Fifteenth street. The
entire fire department was called out.
About 1000 men were employed in
the burned building. which was about
five stories high. The fire was dis
covered in the east end of the build
ing a few minutes before o'clock
when the workmen were preparing to
leave. Though the flames spread
quickly all were able to get out safely
Shortly after the fire started the up
per portion of the wall on Spring
Garden street fell, and one fireman
and three workmen were caught by the
falling bricks. but fortunately received
only slight injuries.
The firemen, with the assistance OF
the fire patrol from the plant, sue
ceeded in getting the flames under con-
troll within an hour after the fire was
discovered.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works is
the largest industrial plant in the
United States and employees $4,000 men
in this city and nearly 10000 in de-
partments at Lewiston and other
places. The fire will not greatly hinder
work, as the departments destroyed
were duplicated in other parts of the

THAW REJECTS
ACCEPTED JURORS
By Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-The first big
surprise in the trial of Harry X. Thaw
came today when Justice Fitzgerald, on
motion of the district attorney, and
with the consent of the attorneys for
the defense, announced that two of the
jurors selected in tha early days of the
prosecution would be excused.
The men in question were Arthur S.
Campbell, superintendent of tele-
phone construction, and Harold A
Faire, printer and publisher. The
court room was crowded for the open
ing of the afternoon session when the
announcement was made.
/. District Attorney Jerome said:
THE reasons for the action will not
be made public, but they are of a busi-
ness nature.r
One new juror had been added to the
trial panel when the excuse of Faire
and Campbell was announced, and a
second was subsequently secured, thus
offsetting the loss.
When court adjourned there were
nine men in the jury box Forty-siX
talesnen were called before the two
satisfactory Jurors were secured. This
exhausted the original panel of two
hundred men and used up eighteen of
the new panel of one hundred sum-
moned yesterday.
The two Jurors sworn i'm today were:
John II. Denne, travelling freight
agent. 3S years old, unmarried; a ma
tive of New Orleans.
David IL. S. Walker, real estate
broker, "a years old, unmarried, son
of John Brisben Walker. He was
chosen during the afternoon session
and replaced Juror Campbell.
Thaw seemed well pleased with the
selection of Depne and Walker and
smiled when the prosecution withdrew
pending challenges.
