The "Wisconsim
Peerless" Refrigerator.

~HE warm weather makes it
Il necessary to have a Re-
W frigerator. which at this
season is by far the most
important consideration of the
housekeeper. We are agents for the
celebrated Wisconsin Peerless"
which we have handled for the past
eight years with the most satisfac-
tory results. The Wisconsin Peer
less" Refrigerator is not new arti-
Gle on the market, it having been
sold successfully for the past twen-
ty-fve years.
One of the simple but important
features is the patent Barrett Drip
Cup, which acts as trap to keep
the cold air from escaping. This is
very accessible, being placed in the
center of the refrigerator, and can
be removed easily at any time for
cleansing. The lining is galvanized
steel, which will not corrode or rust,
and the insulation is mineral wool,
which is by 40 degrees a greater
than the next best
filling-charcoal.
We show 80 styles and sizes.
ranging in price from
$8.95 to $I25.oo.

Street in Name ONLY.

Walter c. Allen. electrical engineer of the
District. has informed the Commissioners
that he has visited Burrville and Dean
wood in answer to the requests of the citi-
Gems association of those places that lamps
be located along the main street
Main street exists ON the map only"
Mr.. Allen says. explaining that while 1t Is
possible to drive along 1t is in no sense a
street, being at the present time nothing
more than a lane across the fields The
recommendation that the petition be re-
fused has been approved by the Commits
sioners.
Rev. A. c. w. Washington of the Burr
Vile and Deanwood Citizens Association
called the matter to the attention of the
commissioners recently, when he asked for
the installation of lights on Sheriff road to
the District line, and on Main street, from
Sheriff road to 9Th street.

NO ARRESTS MADE.
Robbery Of Local Bank Messenger Re-
mains q Mystery.

Detectives have not yet apprehended the
persons alleged to have been implicated in
the robbery of Roscoe c. Bangs. the mes
senger of the Home Savings Bank. who
was relieved of cash and securities aggre-
eating more than $1,000 while riding on
street car last Monday afternoon. 1t was
stated by the police today that no clue to
the identity of the perpetrators of the theft
had been obtained The conductor Of the
car told the detectives that he noticed six
men board his car at 18th street and New
York avenue. He thought there was some
thing suspicious about their conduct. that
occurring to him after he heard of the
robbery The conductor last evening visited
police headquarters and looked at the pic
lures of crooks in the gallery but he was
unable to indicate any bearing a likeness Of
members of the party in question.
The detectives do not think there were six
men working in the so-called mob Of
pickpockets. so large a number seldom go
ing together. Nothing is known at head
quarters of a crowd OF crooks having come
here Monday morning and leaving that
night. 1t is the belief Of the police that
the men who got the money and securities
probably came here on the way to James
town. -.

LYNCHERs LACKED NERVE
Demanded Prisoner, But Made No Pro-
test When Refused.

NEW YORK, June 26.-One of those
near-lynchng mobs that 'lack only
leader" besieged the toy lookup at Wood
mere. l.. l.. late Monday night. and In we'll
modulated tones demanded the life of
Christopher Conarvos, a young italian.
While the lynchers were debating as to
what fearful form Of death they should
impose upon Conarvos. the police force of
the town, consisting of a man named
Belcher. marched the cringing prisoner out
Of the back door and down to the railroad
station. where there was a train-the last
train-for Mineola. Belcher and Conarvos
boarded the train and Conarvos was finally
safely deposited in the Mineola Jail.
The prisoner has a little candy and ice
cream store at Lawrence. He was alone
in the place Monday night when a comedy
young woman entered and asked where
she could get a carriage to take her to the
residence OF Richard Stamford. She ex-
planned that she was Sarah Strenberg.
who had been employed by the Standiford
family as a governess. Conarvo. it is al
legged. told Miss Strenberg that the dis
lance to the Stamford place was short
and that a carriage was not necessary.
He offered to escort her and she accepted
his services ConarvOs closed his store and
started away with the young woman In
a lonely stretch of road. a short distance
from the town. Conarvos. it is alleged,
made proposition to Miss Strenberg that
caused her to turn and run. He pursued
her and she began to scream. Conarvos
caught hold Of her. she asserts and was
choking her into insensibiity, when a man
who heard her calls for help approached
The Italian took to his heels, but by this
time the alarm had spread and he was
headed off. Half a dozen men captured
him and dragged him back to town. where
he was turned over to Policeman Belcher
The cOmmOtion aroused everybody In
Woedmere. and there being nothing else to
do a lynching party was organized. Ropes
were procured and about forty men and
boys marched to the little lookup. The
bulk of the mob halted some distance
from the Jail and a committee of three
went forward to negotiate for the sur
render Of the prisoner. Belcher, on guard.
arose to the occasion.
ITO reach yonder man." he exclaimed
dramatically. "you will have to step over
my dead body by gosh"
Back to the lynching party went the
committee to report progress. There was
a long consultation under the trees.
Belcher opened the back door and did an
transformations getaway with the prisoner.
Miss Strenberg was not badly hurt by
her assailant. but the nervous shock she
sustained was severe. Because Of frequent
attacks upon women of late in Nassau
county the feeling against Conarvos is
bitter.
