COSTLY LACES SMUGGLED IN
Customs Inspector mt New York Dis
covers Gigantic scheme
to Defraud.

NEW YORK. Sept 4-w. T. Hardy and
Burton Baldwin, dressmakers of this city,
who arrived from Europe yesterday on the
steamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm. were arrested
for smuggling an hour after they landed
Search of Hardys baggage resulted in the
discovery OF several thousands of dollars
worth Of lace. which was pinned inside
shirts, pyjamas and suits, sleeves of coats
and legs of trousers in the trunks and in
the pockets of huge travelling coat which
Hardy carries on his arm.
When Customs Inspector Campbell looked
inside the first shirt and saw that It was
full of lace, Hardy said. coolly: Never
mind taking out the others; they are all
alike" Yard after yard of costly lace was
taken out and piled upon the pier Only
small quantity of lace was found in
Baldwins trunk, ana that he said, had
been put there by Hardy. Mr.. Hardy and
his shipmate were also overhauled. Wound
around the body of Mr.. Hardy were thirty
yards of handmade lace. valued at about
S25 a yard. He accepted the exposure with
smiles.
The customs officials think they have
uncovered a syndicate of smugglers who
have within the last three years brought
into this port more than 100000 worth Of
dutiable goods. The men were each held
in $4,000 bail.

REWARD FOR TRAIN WRECKERS
Prussian Railway OfHcials Are Anx-
ious to Locate Cause of Free
qucnt Disasters.

BERLIN. Sept. 4-The Prussan railway
administration has offered reward for
the discovery of the persons who wrecked
the st. Petersburg Berlin express, between
Strausbourg and Rebfelde, near Berlin,
shortly before midnight, resulting in eleven
persons being injured. Presumably 1t was
the work of anarchists or Russian revolu-
tonists, who hoped to kill a number of
the imperial family who was said to have
been on board. The train was derailed and
several cars were teloscopcd and caught
fire. An examination of the scene of the
wreck at daylight showed that the bolts
had been removed from the fishplates of
fifty-foot rail, resulting in the displacement
of the rail after the locomotive had passed
over It. The persons injured were mostly
inhabitants of Berlin, postal clerks, COM
mercial travellers and two army officers
1t does not appear that any Russian of
high rank was a passenger on the train
but Grand Duke Nicholas Ncolaivitch
with a staff OF six officers. is expected to
arrive here tomorrow on his way to the
German army maneuvers, when he will be
the guest OF Emperor william The OFF,
cials of the Prussian railroads are unusu-
ally alert to stop the recent frequency of
railroad accidents.

chased.

the will left by Richard Mansfield have
been made public here by Irving Ditten-
hocffer. who was in charge OF MIR. Mans

1894. and after providing for the payment
OF all just debts left by Mr.. Mansfield, the
entire estate both real and personal is
left to Mrs. Mansfield, who is made the
sole executrix.

before the birth of Mr.. Mansheld's son,
George Gibbs, the boy will take his share
of the estate as II the actor died without
a will. The will. which is brief, will be
probated on Friday.
Mr.. Dttenhoeffer was unable to say
much concerning the size of the estate
but It is certain that It is much smaller
than 1t was originally thought to be. The
insurance on Mr.. Mansheld's life. which
was given as $500 turns out to be $50, ,OO0
$4,000 Of which goes to the widow and the
remainder to the estate, the value OF which
is given as $4,000. Mr.. Dittenhoeffer said
that for the last ten years all that Mr.
Mansfield accumulated either in real or
personal property had been placed at once
In the name Of his wife. The house at SIC
Riverside Drive and the Connecticut farms
all were transferred to Mrs Mansfield ini-
mediately after their purchase. All plays
and manuscripts. as we'll as all stock held
by Mr.. Mansfield in the Richard Mansfield
company, are left to the widow
