lack of water to feed the boilers Of the
engines in the terminal yard at Commune
paw. Thousands of commuters were kept
waiting In the station and were late in
getting home for their suppers. Few per-
sons knew the cause of the trouble, and
there were rumors of wrecks along the
road, which added to the anxiety of those
who had friends and relatives and h
had taken earlier trains as We'll as the
persons waiting at home
The first delay occurred shortly before 8
o'clock, when two engines which were due
at the station to AXE out heavily laden
trains failed to appear. The train dis
patcher Investigated and found that they
were at the round-house and could not get
water to fill their boilers. There was not
a drop of water to be had in the lower end
lof the yard, and engines which were due
Mt the station a few minutes apart were all
stalled for lack of It. The Central Rail-
road purchases its water of Jersey City,
and Is supplied through the main h
enters the yard at Jersey and Johnston
avenues.
The trouble was finally located near the
station, and was found to be a misplaced
valve In one of the railroad company's
mains. The valve was quickly reset and
things were soon in q normal condition
again at the terminal. Train Dispatcher
Campbell and Mayor Pagan both thanked
Mr.. Ffnke for his p~romptness In respond

go n told the policeman to follow

Blazi's Patriotism Under Suspicion
Blaze of Oratory When Case Is
Heard in Howell's Court.

There was a case tried before Judge
Howell this morning in the First Precinct
Court that had the old puzzle How old
is Amp beaten a city block, ana, TO
enhance the intricacies of the case itself,
the names of the principals read like
Chinese laundry checks, and Clerk YUM
suggested that they be set to music and
played On a harmonica.
The conundrum that Judge Howell
passed up for the Grand Jury was this:
Was Giuseppe Blazi enough of a patriot
to carry a revolver on the Fourth of July
for the sole intention of celebrating the
independence of his adopted country, or
did he carry it with the Intention of
puncturing the skin of Constantine
Kappa? Second. did he have a gun?
Third, could any Judge be expected to
settle a case when the two principals and
their lawyers were talking at once In
English and a number of witnesses ac-
companying them in Italian?
Constantine Kappa rum a saloon at 24l
Bruce street, and claims that Giuseppe
Blazi, Of Bruce street, his dear, dear
friend, !" whom he loves devotedly, entered
his place IN the night of the Fourth and
attempted to draw a gun, saying that he
would not be happy until he had sent
Kappa to kingdom come.
Eugene Belfatto represented the plaintiff
and James McDermitt represented the de-
PENDANT, and, with the aid of Antonio
Blazi. brother of the accused. who acted
as interpreter. 1t was showed that the
accused went into the saloon of the
plaintiff on the night of the Fourth and
that they had an argument, and that was
all that was brought out, several witnesses
claiming that they did not see the mar
with a revolver, and another witness stat
Ing that when he grabbed Blazf he was
attempting to pull a gun from his pocket
Judge Howell. after hearing the testi-
mony. stated that he would parole the
accused for the Grand Jury.
The court several times had to call the
lawyers to order. and stated that the
hearing was to decide the case, and not t.
afford a display of ability in rhetoric.

Did Much Good.

lin. died yesterday afternoon at the
residence of her daughter. Margaret A,
Widow of Eugene c. Carroll, SO Hudson
street, al the advanced age of So years
The Mullln family is one of the best
known families In Newark. Mrs. Null
lin came here from Dundas. Ont.

dren, but three of whom survive, two
sons, James and Joseph ]. Mullin, and

Michael Culican, settling in Hamilton.

DIAMONDS VANISH
MRS. M JEWELS
STRANGELY DISAPPEAR.
Amazing Series of Robberies Battles
New York sleuths-Stones Seem
to Fly Away.

NEW YORK, July 10.-An amazing
series of jewel robberies in which Mrs
Byrd w, Wenman, of POI West End
avenue. is the victim was reported to-
day when detectives who have been
vainly trying to unravel the mystery
we're called off the case. Mrs. Wen
man, whose husband is a member of
the Cotton Exchange and a well-known
clubman, has been robbed repeatedly,
and each time the diamonds or money
stolen have disappeared as If they just
flew away.
The last visit of the thief came a
few evenings ago when Mrs. Wenman
was sitting in her apartment sewing.
A faithful watchdog was in the room.
On the table lay several fine white
stones of great value. Mrs. Wenman
walked In an adjoining room, returned
and found one of the gems, worth
81. 500, gone.
Another time, not long ago, she
started to a safety deposit company's
vaults with some rings to put in. She
she knew they were in her pocket
book. But one was absent when she
the book at the vault. 1t was
worth 5000. The other rings were not
disturbed.
Once while her pocketbook was on
her lap It was opened and a small sum
extracted. A number of articles OF
jewelry have as strangely disappeared.
Wenman has almost come to the
point of illness owe the visits OF the
mysterious thief.
Her maid a been fully absolved
from all suspicion. The whole u
has been completely searched. Skilled
detectives have hunted high and low
for a clue, and have found absolutely
none. 1t is believed that some social
hiehwayman or highwaywoman may
have mastered an original and batting
way of stealing, and now has the gems
Yet this theory was not favored by the
sleuths.
The wenmans are so puzzled that
they have decided to dismiss the de-
tectives and wait to see what Will
happen next.
