BOY BLOCKS SUBWAY.
BY Experimenting With Copper Wire
Down a VentIator.

NEW YORK. Feb 2O.-Louis Schnei-
der, ID years old. of 40 Division street
was very much interested in a repair
gang working on a grating of the sub
way at City Hall Park yesterday af-
ternoon. When the men got far enough
away. leaving a large coil of copper
wire on the grating Louis lost no time
in making some experiments with the
third rail. 80 feet below the grating.
When the end of the wire he lower
ed got within few inches of the third
rail the boy gave it a final push and
let loose. Instantly there was a great
display of electric sparks and they siz-
zled all over the Brooklyn Bridge sub
way station. The system was short
circuited and trains were delayed sew
eral minutes until a workman with
rubber gloves removed the wire.
AS fOOling with third rails in that
manner is a felony, Louis was turned
over to the Gerry society.

charging cargo at the fuel wharves
here today the Norwegian steamer,
Thor. with coal from Baltimore, was
visited by an enormous jaguar. which
leaped upon the deck from the adJa-
cent shore and made vicious attack
on the crew.
The frightened men sought shelter,
wardng off the attack of the beast as
best they could. One of the crew fin
ally secured a rifle from the captains
cabin and shot and killed it.
The fuel docks are situated at the
point where habitations are the fewest
and on both sides are marshes where
tall reeds grow. 1t is supposed the
iaguar had been prowling about in
search of water, and becoming fright
ened leaped on board the boat.
