WOMEN PAY MORE.
Why Insurance Companies Discrim
mate Against the Gentle Sex.

Medical examiners of insurance
companies say that the reason a
woman pays more for the privilege
Of insurance than a man is from
the fact that women more readily
fall victims to indigestion and stom-
ach troubles and the fatal ailments
that spring from these causes.
All persons, they say, who have
weakened digestive system and suf-
fer from sick headache, dizzy spells,
distress after eating, specks before
the eyes, bloating, nervousness,
sleeplessness, and the many other
symptoms of indigestion soon lower
the tone of the whole system and are
most susceptible to a fatal Illness.
For curative power in all stomach
troubles, nothing else is as safe yet
effective, nothing else can be thor
oughly relied upon to relieve all
troubles from Indigestion as Mi-o-na.
1t Is unlike any remedy heretofore
known and is really one of the val
liable discoveries in modern medical
science
II is not the acute attacks that
influence the Insurance. examiners
alone. but the constant feelings OF
weakness. headaches, indigestion
and stomach troubles--these things,
physicians say, kill more people than
many more serious diseases.
To escape this condition OF i'll

Charles o. Turner. alias James Bur-
nett, who says he lives at 81 Fair
mount avenue, and also at 266 West
115th street. New York, will be ar
raigned in the Fifth Precinct Police
Court this afternoon on suspicion Of
being concerned in several robheries in
the Roseville section of the city.
The police believe him to be one of
a gang who have been making a spe-
cialty of breaking into vacant houses
and cutting out the lead pipe and the
brass faucets.
Turner and another man were caught
by Policemen Mulvey and Bailey yes
terday, as they were about to enter a
vacant house at COG North Seventh
street. When aecosted by the police
men Turner displayed a deputy sherin's
badge and said that he and his friend
were going to inspect the house. They
were taken to the police station.
Mulvey left Bailey to guard the
house and started to walk the two to
the police station. He had not gone
a block when one of them broke away
and ran. Mulvey fired shot at the
fellow but it appeared only to accele-
rate his speed and no escaped into
Sussex avenue. The policeman held on
to Turner and locked him up.
The police say that they will have
sufficient evidence to hold Turner for
the Grand Jury.

Catherine Vicchi, ID years old, Of "a
Nassau street, last night and wanted
her to take him as a Christmas pres
eit. When she refused he pulled ra-
Zor from his pocket and slashed her on
the left side of the face, as they we're
standing in front of her home.
Screaming with pain, the girl rushed
into the house. and when she made
known to her father who her assallant
was he grabbed q revolver and started
to hunt for Adriosio, but the latter
made good his escape.
DIR. A. Bardonello attended the girls

chased a steamship ticket for Italy

Mr.. Vicchi appeared at the Second

that his daughter could not appear to

clan had forbidden her to leave the
house. He was told that as soon as
she was able to appear in court her
complaint would be taken.
Mr.. Vicchi said that he had forbid

Furnace Shaker, ClOtted
With Blood and Hair,
Found Under Hotel Piano.
TRIAL WILL Be RUSHED
Confession Placed Before Jurors
by Prosecutor Young..Ring
Is sShown..All Principal Wit.
nessesAre I1eard..ROmer's
Will Is Pr0bated.

The most important discovery since
the arrest of George Wilson. or Will
Jams. the negro accused of the brutal
murder of Frederick r. Romer. the
Orange undertaken, was made at 2
o'clock this morning in a way which
had its humorous side. although the
find was in a measure CHASTITY.
The implement with which Wilson
is believed to have killed Romer was
found under the piano in the parlor
of the Park Hotel, Orange. The hotel
cat had hid behind the piano. and the
night watchman, Theodore Hadden, in
trying to poke it out with an UNI
brella struck something. 1t was fur
mace shaker. 1t had blood stains and
some of Romer's hair on it.
Ever since the commission of the
crime the authorities have been at
odds as to the weapon used by the
murderer. when in cold blood and with
no apparent motive, aside from rob-
berry, he struck Romer down in his
own room in the hotel and brutally
beat him to death. In the confession
made by Wilson he says that the in
juries inflicted upon Romer were done
with Romer's pistol, claiming that he
wrenched the gun out of Romer's hand
when Romer tried to shoot him.
The finding of the bloody furnace
shaker eontradicts this statement. 1t is
a long furnace shaker, with the usual
wrench hole on one end, while the
handle has the usual curve. Clotted
with blood stains and matted with
hair, 1t spoke louder than any confess
sion could have done as to the pur-
pose for which it had been used.
Yesterday Mrs. Francis Kieb, wife of
the proprietor of the hotel, gave orders
that the pet cat in the hotel should be
kept out of the parlor. Ever since the

Vain Endeavor TO Avert
Collision.

A freight train on the West Newark
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad
crashed into the rear part of a Mt.
Prospect avenue trolley car as the
latter was stalled on the Elizabeth
avenue crossing at 2 o'clock this after
noon.
The train hit the vestibule end of the
car SO hard that it was strewn for
over fifteen feet along the tracks.
There were eight women and several
men I'm the car at the time, and the
former screamed and the men were
badly scared, as they felt the car moved
along. expecting every moment that it
would be turned over and they
crushed to death
Fortunately the train pushed the car
far enough to one side so that nobody
was injured except by pieces of broken
glass, which showered on them from
the ventilators in the roof.
All of the passengers got out as
quickly as they could, and as they saw
how close a call they had to death they
trembled with fear.
The car was stalled on the steam rail-
road tracks through the trolley pole
slipping off the wire, which is also
guarded by an iron protector
The conductor was on the south side
of the railroad tracks keeping the Safe
ty switch closed, for the trolley car 10

clear the pole left the wire.
Then the motorman got off to put the
pole back on the wire, and it was moi

dare to leave his post, so shouted to the
motorman to hurry for his life.
The engineer of the freight train was
signaled by several people, but his en-
gine was too far in the rear of the
train that he was unable to stop the
train until several freight cars had
run over the crossing.
