BURGLARS BREAK INTO
NEvIN KENNEDY'S STORES
Kearny Mans Butcher Shop and Gro
Gerry Rihed by Thieves, Who
Used S~tepladder.

Burglars entered the butcher shop and
grocery store of Nevln Kennedy in John
son avenue, near Grant avenue, Kearny,
last night, and stole S12.25 from the cash
registers. Entrance was gained through
the trensoms OF both places.
Large holes were cut in the panes of
glass that permitted the working of the
bolts. The burglars tried to force open
the rear doors, but being unsuccessful, OBJ
tanned a step-ladder from the owners barn
to aid them in their work.
Mrs. Charles Hueston, who resides on
the top floor over the stores, said she
heard noises early this morning, which
she concluded, was caused by the horses
in the barn, and gave no further thought
10 the matter.
A thorough search of the place today by
MIR. Kennedy resulted in the conclusion
that no merchandise was taken.
The affair was reported to Chief of Police
William Tolen, of Kearny, who is making

JURY IN RUFF CASE
 UNABLE 10 AGREE
Evenly Divided There Was Never a Hope of Unanimity.

San Francisco, May 21.-Unable to agree after being out almost forty four hours, the jury in the case of Ruef, charged with offering a bribe to former Supervisor Phillips, was dis charged this evening by Judge Dool- ing
 Thirteen ballots were taken and the jury stood six to six from the outset. At no stage was there a chance for agreement, the cerdibility of the wit nesses being the main point upon which the jurors were divided.
 Foreman Penny stated that minor issues were swept aside and that the main point during the deliberations was the credibility of the witnesses. At one stage an effort was made to come to an agreement on the testi- mOny of Phillips, but the six who stood for acquittal claimed that the testimony of Phillips placed the prov ing of the alleged crime on Gallagher and Gallagher they would not be- lieve.
 LangdOn made a statement to the effect that the prosecution will not cease the work that has been cut out and that, as soon as possible, he will proceed to try Ruef on one of the other IF indictments pending.
 The attorneys for Ruef were plain ly disappointed and said that they fully expected his acquittal. The trial occupied seven weeks, four of which were devoted to securing the jury. over 600 talesmen were ex- amined.

 It was forthwith granted by Justice O'Gorman, who rendering his decision said: T cannot credit the plaintiffs evidence as to the alleged marriage The testimony impresses the court that this is a most wicked design to support false and fictitious claim by forgery and perjury"
 Forthwith Justice O'Gorman ordered Miss Wood committed to the Tombs on charge of perjury, fixing her bail at $5,O00.
 She was obviously staggered by the sudden turn of affairs and the shock caused by order of arrest which the court made. She quickly regained her cOmposure. however, and by the time she reached the city prison she had re- sumed the air of confidence which she had held practically throughout the trial.
 At the district attorneys office to- night it was said that Miss Woods case would be speedily presented to the grand jury and pressed for trial if an indictment is found.
 At a late hour Miss Wood had not been able to furnish the bail demanded in her case and was still locked up.

THE WORST
 IN EUROPE A Railway Horror On a
 Belgian Line
Sixty Killed and Perhaps a Hundred Hurt in a Collision.

Antwerp, May 21.-One of the worst railroad accidents in Europe in recent times occurred at Contich, a station six miles southeast this city, on the main line, at 8 this morning.
 The exact number of victims has not been determined up to a late hour to- night owing to the difficulty of remov- ing the bodies from the debris, but the latest estimates places the number of dead at sixty, with 100 wounded
 The catastrophe appears to have been due to a defective switch where the main line crosses a local line. A train carrying a large number of pill grims on their way to a local shrine, was standing. Into this the Antwerp Brussels express dashed at a speed of fifty miles per hour, literally leaping on top of it. The heavy coaches of the express train crushed the lighter train into solinters.
 The sides of the express cars were torn from their fastenings, the floors practically collapsing. thus precipitat- ing the passengers to the side of the track, uninjured, whence they fled, frenzied.
 Few occupants of the local train es- capped alive. Those not killed are badly injured, many mortally. The rescuers, even the doctors who are hardened to such scenes. were sicken- ed at the sight that met their gaze. Evidences were found of horrible death struggles that occurred in the crushed coaches. In one place a dismembered hand was found clutching one of the supporters of the torn car. One body was lying across the boiler of the To- comotive. crushed into a shapeless mass. A maority of the dead could not be recognized either being decap- itated or their heads terribly crushed.
 The judicial authorities of Antwerp soon arrived on the scene and opened an investigation of the disaster. They ordered the signal men in charge of the switches under arrest, although i> is believed that tg-y are blameless. The engineer and fireman of the eX- press were both killed at their posts.

The Commitment of Miss Mae Woods On
 Charge of Perjury
This Order of the Court Followed Upon the Heels of the Sudden Dismissal of Her Action Divorce.

New York, May 2f-Mae c. Wood, whose suit for absolute divorce from United States Senator Thomas c. Platt of New York, who has been on trial in the supreme court here for several days was committed to the Tombs prison here late today after Justice O'Gorman had dismissed her complaint in the action and ordered her held in 5000 bail on a charge of perjury.
 The decision in Platt's favor a sud- den and sensational ending of the suit came after a day which the defense had occupied largely with the intro duction of expert, and other testimony attacking the authenticity of the doc uments by which the plaintiff was seeking to establish her alleged mar riage to Platt. A handwriting expert testifies that in his opinion the body of the letter in which Platt was al- legged to have admitted his relation as husband to the plaintiff was added after the senator's signature had been affixed. More telling still for the de- fense were the depOsitiOns of engrav- CTS and statiOners called by counsel for Platt. The blank form upon which the alleged Platt-WOOd marriage cer- tificate was prepared was not litho- graphed until three months after the date upon which the marriage of Miss Wood to Platt is alleged to have taken place.
 Miss Wood was recalled to the stand ini rebuttal She was asked if, after hearing the testimony about the marriage certificate, she still reiter- ated that the defendant gave her the certificate as she had previously tes- tified.
 T still reiterate it," she replied.
 Justice O'GOrman turned to Miss Wood and pointedly questioned her She repeated the assertion that the marriage occurred as stated. She ad- mitted that Platt had never supported her. When asked by the court if she did not consider it the duty of a hus- band to support his wife, she replied: T do. But as long as he was not

THE NEW MODERATOR
 OF THE PRESBYTtRIANS
pr. Fullerton the First Presiding Of- ficer From the Southern Branch of the Church.

Kansas City, May 21.-Rev. Dr.. Baxter P. Fullerton of St. Louis, was elected moderator of the assembly of the Presbyterian church of the United States today to succeed Rev. Dr. Will liam H. Roberts of Philadelphia. Dr. Fullerton was not opposed in his can didacy for the office. In assuming the duties of moderator Dr. Fullerton also became the stated clerk of the assem- bly. The selection has a happy sig nificance in the fact that he belongs to tLe so-called southern branch of the church, being the first moderator from that branch since the amalgamation of the two churches.
 Moderator Roberts delivered his farewell sermon before the greatest audience ever assembled at a confer ence of the church. There were 500 authorized commissioners present from all parts of the world. Ten thousand churches with fully 10000 adherents, most of them communi- cants, were represented.

AN ARBITRATION PLAN
 FOR CLEVELAND STRIKE
A Tentative Agreement Which is to Be Submitted to the Men.

Cleveland, May 21.-There is left only the selection of the third arbitra- tor to bring about a cessation of the street railway strike. This point was discussed today. Tonight the media tors adjourned until tomorrow, when the question will be taken up again.

 If the vote results adversely, nego- tiations will stop, and the strike will continue.
 Up to p. m. no serious disturbances had been reported.
