 Few.

 'to Girl.

Troy, x. r., July 17.-The impene- trable veil of mystery behind which lies hidden the secret of the slayer of Hazel Drew: the story of the tragedy of the abandoned mill pond, may never be lifted.
 Somewhere, possibly among the charcoal burners In the hills beyond Taberton. on one of the farms in the vicinity or perhaps in the city of Troy, the perpetrator of the crime may be mingling with those who are endeavcr- ing to bring hm to justice. So baf- fling is the mystery that after almost a week of careful inquiry along the paths which might lead to it's solution, thetinvestigation has come almost to a standstll.
 Where Hazel was on the night ot July G. and until she was seen on the lonely road, leading to Taberton the following evening, when she Is suppos- ed to have met her death. is puzzle that the authorities have yet to solve.
 This accomplished, the motive and the murder remain to be accounted for Murder, accident, and suicide theories abound, but facts are few. Even thu reward of $l,oo0 which the county ha. offered as an incentive to further ac tivities in the case, has pot served t bring out anything of helpful char acter.
 Letters are beginning to reach tn hands of District Attorney O'Bre. containing suggestions, Some giv names of those whom 1t Is said ma, know something about the case. few received today were unsigned.

THICK BRICK WALL
 SAVES GREENWICH
Threatened Conhagration Halt ed After Causing Damage
 of $225,000.
PosToFFICE IS sCoRCHED
Children Playing With Matches Start Fire--Buslncss Section En-
 dangered.

Greenwich, July 17.--A double brick wall between the postoifice building at the Junction of Greenwich avenue and Lewis street to-day saved the entire business section of this town from being swept by fire. About eight years ago this wall also saved the town, and the two fires were alike m many respects. To-day's blaze, start ing just before noon in the livery sta ble of r. B. Moshier in Lewis street, ran with great rapidity through the old paint shop next door, into the carriage repository of MT. Ray ,anl then leaped out to attack the post office building on the corner, In which, on the upper foor was the telephone exchange, and on the intermediate floors, rooms and offices.
 But the double brick wall put in years ago when MT. Ray divided his big structure and sold the corner part to Deputy Sheriff Rltch, hurled back the flames which then leaped across Lewis street and took huge mouthfuls out of the Allen and Hassett buildings | in which were the Boston Dry Goods store, the feed store of Timothy Laugh lin and the machine shop of Mir. Kir- hoffer The stable of George Fitch provided more food, but the flames were in the back yards of the build lngs which fronted on Greenwich ave nue and could be surrounded.
 In the turmoil of fighting the blaze, which within q few minutes had almost assumed conhagration proportions 1t was thought the postoffice building was | doomed, but by the middle of the af-
 ternoon the flames had died down.
 Today's fire is said to have started
 from children playing with matches lnear the Moshier's stable, Rays car
