This Is. in fact, the Oldest toll gate

to the abbey Of Stratford Langthorne,
one OF the earliest Cistercian founda-
lions in England. The abbey in those

itself is considered by some to be de-
rived from an early religious structure
OF this order which stood in the open

In the East end.
curious enough, this old toll gate
at the top of Abbey lane still pos
sesses many ancient privileges, and
the gatekeeper is a person of some i'm
portance. Even the London county
council has no power to open the gate
without the official consent of the
keeper.
AT the old Abbey lane toll gate the
traffic is wise enough to pass around
the other side of the barrier by a pub
lie thoroughfare and thus escape the
toll. And so, the gatekeeper and his
barrier are left severely alone, except

WALKS IN SLEEP IN TUNNEL
Young Woman snatched from DeatI,
just Before Fast Express
Train Dashes BY.

London.-An exciting incident took
place the other day On the London &
Northwestern railway line near Crewe.
A young woman, aged about twenty,
was seen wandering up and down the
approach to the underground tunnel
on the Liverpool line. She was hys-
tsrical and in great distress, and she
had apparently been walking in her
sleep, as she had on only her night
dress.
Suddenly she was seen to run into
the tunnel A young man on the
bank let himself down with a rope
and pursued her. Ropes were placed
under her waist and she was drawn
up to a place of safety.
Had it not been for the timely res
cue she must have been knocked down
and run over by an express which
passed q moment later.
1t appears that she resides in a
house on the railway embankment. A
bedroom window was found opened,
and it is supposed that she got up in
her sleep and got on to the railway.
She appears unable to give any com.
prehensive account Of her movements.

JUROR WHO HOLDS OUT FOR
ACQUITTAL is DISMISSED,

JERSEY CITY, Feb. 16.-Many law
yers here criticise the action
OF Common Pleas Judge Robert Carey
in ~discharging William Reason, of 1873
Boyd avenue, this city, from the panel
of petit jurors for the remainder Of
the December term of the court be-
cause he held out for the acquittal Of
Thomas Rose, John Quinn and John
Lagamisino, who were tried for alleged
ballot-boX stufing in the Hudson
ty Quarter Sessions Court.
1t was charged that Rose, Quinn and
Lagamisino stuffed ballots into a box
at a primary held in Hoboken on April
%, last, for the election of delegates
to the Republican National Conven-
ton. Court Clerk Koppelmann dis
charged the jury when it was an
nounced that no agreement could be
reached.
Judge Carey later held a confer
ence with Assistant Prosecutor James
w. Mccarthy, who represented the
State in the ballot-box case. After
this conference Judge Carey called
Reason, who was one of the twelve
jurors, to the bar and informed him
hat he would be excused from jury
service for the remainder of the term.
He ordered his name taken from the

CONGER CHARGES
WIDEN SCOPE OF
CORRUPTION QUIZ
q. 0. P. Leaders Hasten Probe of
Donations by Bridge Men to
Campaign Funds.

ALBANY, Feb. Ex-senator Con-
gers assertion that the Republican
State committee got a contribution
from the bridge companies legislative
protection fund" in 1902 has only
strengthened the determination of the
Republican leaders here to extend the
bribery investigation without delay. In
whatever way the circumstances of this
contribution, during the craftsmanship
of Colonel George w. Dunn, of Bling
hamton, may be explained. the party
leaders here seem to realize that it
would be suicidal to attempt to stihe
investigation.
Senator Conger's ordeal was not over
when the investigation of his charges
against Senator lothian p. Aids was
taken up by the Senate today. The
Aids charges, however, have all but
sunk from public attention in the flood
of more important revelations. The
Senate is now expected to hurry the
Aids inquiry to it's close, and then
proceed to an investigation along the
lines OF Conger's testimony. An inves-
tigation without limit as to time or
subject, such as is proposed by Sem
ator Wainwright's measure, however, is
hardly a possibility. The present inten-
tion is to turn the spot light next on
the corruption fund, which Conger has
admitted that the bridge companies
raised in 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1905. Con-
gers statement yesterday practically
assures the summoning of Colonel Dunn
'and the financial and disbursing Off
GERS of the State committee of 1902
when the investigation is extended be-
yond the Aids charges. The Demo-
Gratis hope to prove by the bridge peo-
pie that their contribution to the Re-
publican campaign fund was made
with the expectation of an adequate re-
turn.

JAIL BREAK FRUSTRATED
BY TIP FROM TRUSTY,

DOVER, Del. Feb. ia well plotted
conspiracy to break jail was frustrated
here by the caution of Turnkey Wheat
ley, after a tip from a trusty.
Several desperate prisoners planned to
start a fake fight and by cries of MUIR
DER entice the turnkey or sheriff into
the inner apartment of the prison. The
plan was to overpower the official then.
seize the keys and escape.
The turnkey when the plot was set
in motion. refused to enter the Jail
single-handed, sen for the sheriff and
his deputy, who, with others, in a body
entered the Jail. One or two shots
fired in the prison by Wheatley had the
desired effect, the prisoners who had
planned the escape skulking back in
their cells, awed.
The ringleaders were taken to the
iron-clad cells. where they were hand
cuffed and manacled in the darkness.

TRAIN THAT KILLS MAN
ENDS EFFORT TO REFORM.

TRENTON, Feb. 16.-Apparently sor-
ry for his former w%rongdoing and en-
deavoring by thrift and industry to ac-
cumulate enough money to enable him
to return and make amends to his fam
lily. David Davenport's efforts to reform
were suddenly brought to an end when
his life was crushed out by a fast train
on the Pennsylvania Railroad, near
this city yesterday.
Davenport was on his way to his
work in the Brian Pottery, and was
crossing the railroad track when he
was struck.
In his pocket was found a letter,
written by a friend in Liverpool, Eng
land, which was evidently a reply to
one thai Davenport had written telling
of the wrong he had done his family, of
his sorrow for it and of his efforts to
make amends.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 16.-Reforih,
which has many times rome down to
defeat only to come up again for an
other fight, received it's hardest blow
int h municipal election here yester-
day when the Republican organization
swept the city and won everything it
started out to get. For the first time
since the reform movement in Phila-
delphia has amounted to anything not
a reformer was elected to city councils
or to the Board of Magistrates.
The greatest eat of the organization
was the election of men it had selected
for minority representation on the
magisterial board. Fourteen magis-
trates were elected, cut under the law

nine, thus giving the minority parties
a chance to choose the other five. The
Republican organization elected its
nine men by big majorities and threw
enough votes to five other candidates
1t had selected under the party title Of
"~workingmen's league to also elect
them and defeat the Democratic and
reform candidates. Three of the men
on the "workingmen's'' ticket Mare
Democrats and had the assistance of
the Democratic organization.
The Republican organization made
its principal fight against William
Eisenbrown and, Albert Fl. Ladner,
who have been magistrates for a quar-
ter of a century and are Democrats
with independent tendencies. They
were on the Democratic and William
Penn party tickets, and-were defeated
by about 1000.
