GIRLS COURAGE
SCARES BURGLAR

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. l7.-Intui-
ton and her cool wit combined with
rare courage saved pretty 17-year-
Maud Buckley from being chloroform-
ed and stripped of $3.50 worth of Jewels
she wore whole alone in her home at
1853 Sixth avenue, Richmond, and the
sole guardian of thousands Of dollars
worth of plate, jewels and the Paris
trousseau of her oldest sister.
With the breath of the marauder on
her cheek and as he tunl.e4 IF ri
pocket for a bottle of chloroform, his
left hand about to grasp her throat,
Miss Buckley shivered with inward
fright but talked calmly over the tele-
phone in the hallway, excusing herself
for a moment with the words:
Hold the wire a minute. There is
a robber in the house"
Turning upon the man within a foot
of her Miss Buckley glared at him and
called her mother from the front porch.
So perfectly possessed was she that the
man was lost in establishment and was
unable to move until the sound of Mrs.
Buckley's approaching footsteps made
him realize his danger and he fled.
Passing through the hallway to the
door leading to the rear yard, through
which he entered, the man was lost
sight Of in the darkness of early night.
Miss Buckley and her mother went
bravely on the hunt and discovered the
thief crOuching beside a fence A
neighbor who had been talking with
Mrs. Buckley spread the news of the
thiefs presence and a dozen young
men scattered through the neighbour
hood.
Hearing the crier of Miss Buckley
and her mother a dozen men, most of
them armed because of the frequent
visits Of thieves and highwaymen to
the neighborhood gave chase. firing
shots in the air, but gave up the hunt
as hopeless after an hour The neigh
bors were thrown into a state of in
tense excitement for the night and the
chief of police has been petitioned to
increase the force of police there.

FAMOUS GERMAN
AERONAUT HERE

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Captain Hugo
Won Abercon, one of the most famous
of Germans aeronauts, arrived today
in company with Cortland F. Bishop,
on "he North German Lloyd steamship
Kronprinzessin Cecilie to take part in
will occur at the end of this month in
st. Louis.
He wore German army cap with a
gold balloon embroidered on the front,
to which he is entitled by reason of
his connection with the Imperial Aer-
onautic Corps, in which Emperor VIII.
liam is deeply interested. In fact, it
Is said that the participation Of the
Germans in the coming race is made
possible by the liberality of the en-
peror and that he is personally bearing
all the expense of their coming here.
The captain was met at the pier by
Captain Hildebrand, another of the
German contestants, who arrived last
week. and several American contest
ants for the cup.
Cortland Bishop said that he feared
that Lieut., Lahm, who won the cup for
America last year, would not be able
to enter the contest, as he was now
convalescent from a serious Illness.
"This is most unfortunate for the
Americans" he said, "but we shall put
Major Hersey, who was with wellman,
in his place and will present a strong
team. I saw one Of our new balloons
when I was in Paris and was very
pleased with it, 1t is of about 10000
cubic feet capacity and we'll fitted in
every particular.
1.-The French and Germans have
made great progress in their dirigible
balloons and it is a common thing in
Paris to go for a ride in one. They are
just as safe too, as a trolley car. The
st. Louis race will do a great deal to
encourage the sport in America and
we are all very hopeful that we shall
keep the cup in America"

DEVICE STOPS
TElESCOP|NG

NEW YORK, Oct 17.--Frank He'd
ley, general manager of the Inter-
borough company. has invented and
patented a device which he believes
will prevent the telescoping of cars in
train wrecks. In speaking of the de-
vice he said:
TT is generally known among rail-
road men that most all of the tele-
scoping of cars is due to the fact that
the front of the rear car is able to
climb upon the rear platform of the
car ahead and thus can go right
through the fiimsy woodwork with
which the upper portion of the car is
usually constructed.
1.-THE device Is a simple one. 1t is
an attachment adapted to be secured
to the end of car or car platform
which has three prongs or projections
on its outer surface. When two cars
come together these prongs on the
platforms interlock and the car is pre-
vented from rising above the platform
of the one which 1t strikes 1t costs
little to put 1t on new car.
I'VE have a number of cars in oper-
alton on the PETERBOROUGH system and
have found the device to work excel
lently."

ALL CUT UP
BY DOCTORS

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-What is de-
scribed by physicians as a remarkable
surgical operation for cancer was per-
formed at the Hahnemann hospital on
Thursday with apparent success. The
patient was Mrs. George Blydenburg,
wife of a wealthy contractor.
Mrs. Blydenburg was suffering from
a cancerous growth of the abdominal
organ. DIR. Walter G. Crump after an
X-ray examination found that her
death was only a question of few
days unless something was done and
decided to perform an operation at
once. The operation was witnessed by
ten physicians. several from out Of
town, one being a woman from Schen-
ectady, and another, DR.. Judson San
ders, of Reading, Pa. The operation
lasted for nearly three hours. In that
time six organs were removed, includ-
ing the upper portion of the bladder,
the vermiform appendix, ten inches of
the ilium and the ascending colon.
According to the physicians opera
tions on these individual organs have
been heretofore made, but never in a
combination Of six.
The third day after the operation
Mrs. Blydenburg showed great i'm
provement Tomorrow an X-ray ma
chine will be used to kill any frag-
ments of the growth in the tissues

In commenting on the operation DIR
Crump said that it appeared now thai
the time was not far distant when al
most any excepting the vital organs
can be removed without danger Of
death.

cured the bear he came to the Missis-
sippi canebrakes to slay.
That a fine specimen was discovered
by Mr.. Golfers dogs within a short
distance of the president and within
less than a mile Of Bear lake, was the
news brought into STEAMBOAT by Brutu6
Jackson, one of the members of the
hunting party, and he says that the
animal was enabled to make good his
escape, going in a direction opposite
to the presidents post.
Four dogs unattended by any Of the
hunters that were trailing the bear UNI
avatlingly all day, struck hot tran
about o'clock and within a trtce
they were almost on the animal. He
was aroused while feeding and with q
snort that was heard afar he darted
Off. The campers say that thick al

Roadway through it. for the short dis
lance he had to run to reach the lake.
Arriving at the waters edge, he un-
hesitatingly plunged in and was well
away from shore when the dogs ar
rived on the scene. Some of the hunt
ers came up a short time afterwards,
but too late to get shot. BY this time
the day was too far advanced to per-
NIT any one to follow.

worlds champions received trifle
more than $4,000 apiece for their siren
uous work in the last week.
This is considerably more than the
White Sox received last year after de-
feating the Cubs, and is a greater sum
than the worlds champions of any year
have earned

 New York, Oct 5.-Both the Demo- cratic and Republican state commit tees met and nominated Edward T. and Willard Bartlett as candidates for vacancies on the bench of the court of appeals.
 The Democrats met at the Victoria hotel, where Daniel F. Cohalan, chair man of the Tammany Hall law con- mittee, said that delegation of labor ing men had called on him and asked for the nomination of J. T. McDon- ough of the Independence league and William J. Gaynor. He said the Demo- crats had made overtures for fusion, but failed, whereupOn the Bartletts were decided upon. The nomination of Edward T. Bartlett was unanimous. To that of Willard Bartlett there was but one negative vote. Lou Payn arose in his seat when the nomination was made and said:

DIVORCE CASE
Properly of Joseph LeviDson
 Was Attached To-Day.

The divorce which Joseph Levin-
 son of Wood streets claims to have secured from LisNwife in 1895 while she was in the old country, is going to be tested. A suit for support was instituted to-day by Mrs Leah Levin son, through Attorney Lauber, and the property of her husband was at- tached to the ariount of S4,0OO. Mrs Levinson came to this country last July searching for her husband. She was accompanied by her two daugh- ters and they succeeded in locating the alleged recreant only about a week ago. To their surprise they found Levinson at his home on Wood street surrounded by a large family. He claims he secured d decree of divorce in 1895 from the woman he left in the old country, aud she claims she was never notified of such a proceeding and therefore it must have been illegal. In Mrs Levinson's suit for support the validity of the divorce decree will form the main point of contention.

Federal Deputies Protect Third Avenue
 Railroad From State Courts. New York; Oct. 5-United States deputy marshals, acting under orders from Federal Judge Lacombe, took physical possession of the Third Aye nue car line to uphold the rights of the federal receivers of the New York City and Metropolitan Street railways against the impending appointment of receivers of the same lines under the laws of New York! A clash between the state and federal authorities was only postponed by reason of the fact that the appointment of state receivers was delayed at least a week. On re- ceipt of information to this effect Unit ed States Marshal Henkel withdrew his deputies.
 Concurrently the fact was establish ed by further delving into the affairs of the Metropolitan that the S9O5, ,6O7 19 shown by the books of the company to have been paid to Anthony N. Brady for the Fulton, Wall and Cortlandt Street Ferries Railroad company was a brazen exchange of almost mil lion dollars for nothing at all.

WORK OF STATE POLICE.
A Number of italians Who Were
 Prosecuted at Canaan.

Prosecuted at Canaan.
 Merrill S. Loucks of No 62 Ed wards street, New Haven, a member of the state police, and one giving the name of James Seaton of Hart ford, have been spending tie sum- mer up in the town of North Canaan getting evidence by the wholesale against a number of Italian yiolators of the liquor laws. Not that Italians were the only game they sought, but somehow or other most everybody except the Italians "got onto" the mission of the men in the town.
 Early in July the detectives went to Canaan and began their opera tions, but they did not go together nor did they pose as beia. anything alike. Seaton masqueraded under the name of Jim Seaman" and he drifted into town as a tramp, got jobs on. the farms and here and there, and finally was employed in George Van Deusen's pool room. Seaman" talked Free Masonry to all the fellows after he had been in Van Deusen's place a while but it isn't learned that his oterations along this line resulted . ything. The pool room has never been under suspicion and the work of the detec- tive seems % have had results only among the large Italian colony in North Canaan.
 Mir Loucks posed as . "Mr De- voe." a gentleman of culture, and he mingled with the silk stocking crowd. What his operations were has not yet appeared. other than that be was on hand the other day when eight of "Seaman's" Italian vietirs were tried at Canaan and given heavy fines for selling liquor in q no-lIeense town.
 The case are not all disposed of, and some of the Italians who are dis posed to fight will be given hearings Monday. Mir Devoe" may have some important disclosures later.

FOR PURE ELECTIONS.
Prevention of the Use of Money the
 Principal End. Desired.

Hartford, Oct 5.-George L. Fox of New Haven, who was prominent
 in the passage of the corrupt prac- tive in behalf of purity in elections, was in Hartford Tuesday to confer with Prof John J. McCook, chairman of the citizens committee which has been watching recent elections in Hartford. As Dr McCook expressed. it, MT Fox came here to find out what was done and how it was done with the idea of applying the knowl- edge at the New Haven elections on Monday. He sought, especially, in formation on the employment of de- tectives and police at the polls. Dr McCook said that in the Hartford elections such police and Pinkerton detectives as were necessary had been called in. He impressed on MT Fox that the principle of the cam paign had been prevention rather than, punishment, that warning rather than arrests were the idea that had been the principal object of the officers and citizen watchers.
 If arrests can be made, go much the better, but the persons appre- hended are usually worthless scape- goats. Corrupt practices have ex- isted so long that they have become a tradition and warning of the re- form measures were only fair, and such warning had baen given at recent elections in Hartford. MT Fox gave Dr McCook to understand that the campaign thus outlined was practically the one that would be employed in New Haven; that police, detectives and volunteer watchers would be used before, turing and after the election, that arrests would be made if necessary and possible, but that prevention of the use of money would be the main purpose.
