IDENTIFIED
BY FARMER

Got My Money" Says
Chester Van Scoy.
NINE. FAY IN COUNTY JAIL

Madame Zola Fay, who was arrest
ed at the carnival Saturday, on q
charge of swindling Chester Van

titled at New Brunswick by her vic
tim.
Mr.. Van Scoy and Detective Jones,
of Wilkes Barre, Pa, came here Mon
day to identify the fortune teller,
but found that she had been taken
to the county seat, where, as soon as
the clairvoyant was brought into
their presence, the farmer shouted
There's the woman that's got my
thousand dollars .
Madame Fay. who has shown re-
markable nerve since her arrest, de-
MED to Mr.. Van Scoy that she had
taken his money, but later wanted to
have a private interview with him.
The farmer refused to consent, stat
ing that he was afraid of the woman
and would not talk to her unless
Detective Jones or Detective Long

duped and Detective Long says the
farmer believed he was going to get
$4,000 for the $1,000 which he
placed in the envelope. 1t is sup

velopes while sealing the one contain
ing the money.

Passengers Hurled from
Their Seats by Crash Near
East Railway.
TWENTY PERTH AMBOY
PEOPLE IN THE COACHES
Obstruction Removed With
Difficulty and Train Pro-
ceeds to This City.

Passengers on the Central pas
senger train known as the Red Bank
express, due in this city at 1854
o'clock, last night barely escaped
with their lives and some of them
were bruised when 1t hit two ties
near East Railway. The train
struck the ties with full force,
while going at a speed of about for
ty miles an hour. The engineer, a
youthful man., kept his presence of
mind, and threw on the sand and
emergency brakes, stopping his train
in about 100 feet Passengers were
hurled about the coaches, some be-
ing badly bruised, but none was
seriously injured.
The train started two or three
minutes late, 1t is declared, from
Jersey City. 1t was between Trem-
ley and East Railway that the en-
gineer was trying to pick up time.
The last stop had been Elizabeth av-
enue and the train was humming
along at the rate of about forty
miles an hour. when there was sud
den grind of brakes, and many
were hurled from their seats. The
train came to a sudden stop and the
travellers alghted 10 see WnaJ nad
happened. Two big railroad ties
were found wedged between the
front wheels of the locomotive,
which the engineer, assisted by pas
Sengers, among whom were Manager
Mason of the Lyric theatre in this
city, removed. About a half-hour
was lost in removing the ties and the
train was thirty-eight minutes behind
lime when this city was reached.
Though the engineer said he had
expected to see the locomotive and
train land in the ditch, no serious
results followed the sudden stop. 1t
is not known how the ties came to
be placed across the tracks,, except
that they were placed there by mis-
ehief makers.
About twenty persons alighted
from the train upon its arrival in
this city.
