to the policemen that they ascend the
tower by the inside stairs so as TO se-
cure the crazy man when he reached
the top
The three were almost exhausted
when they reached the platform.
Kratz was still slowly moving upward
on the cable, ignorant of the presence
of the police, who crouched down so
as not to be seen. When the climber
was near enough to the top the police,
upon a signal, bounced out and
grabbed him and dragged him over
the edge, where they threw him to the
floor. The dimensions of the plat
form are 25x15 feet. There is but

Kratz, who seemed possessed of
great strength, made lunge at Smith
with the razor and cut his uniform
Then the Russian freed himself and
bounded for the north side tower He
was about TO jump from 1t to the river
when the policemen grabbed him. and
the desperate struggle was renewed
The Russian struck out with both
fists, and when he could kicked the
policemen's shhs. When clinched
the four swayed back and forth and
time and again were at the edge. with
the Russian struggling with all his
might to shove his defenders over.
They were clinched most of the
| time and It was with difficulty that
he policemen got their clubs into
play. When they did the insane man
fought with even greater ferocity.
Blow after blow upon his head seemed
not to feaze him, but all of sudden
he wllted, his arms dropped Imply to
his side, and he reeled forward.
The policemen laid him out there
where the battle had been fought and
sat down to rest and get their breath
Before Kratz revived his hands were
handcuffed and his legs securely tied
with rope.
How to get the man down from the
top puzzled the officers. After trying
several ways they finally got Kraft
onto Smiths back, and while the 9th

NEW YORK feels more than mere
~ ly curious interest in the oft-re-
peated prediction that the coal mines
of the country will be exhausted in an
other hundred years. for the city is the
greatest coal consumer in the world.
According TO statistics recently col
Iected the metropolis uses 25,OOO,OOO
tons annually and requires the serv-
ices of $4,000 men to keep itself
warmed and lighted. More than
$3.50, 900 900 is invested in the business
of supplying New York residents with
coal, and 1000 barges and 150 tugs
are kept busy transporting It about the
harbor. These barges average in ca
pacity from $50 TO 1900 tons. and In
them there is always afioat more than
1900 900 tons. Every day there is
loaded into barges in the harbor of
New York more coal than Is used In
a year throughout the empire Of China.
