Pushcart men and street sweepers
were never SO thick before as they were
Yesterday noon at Spring street and the
Bowery. There were more chestnut
yenders. too, than usual, but strange
thing that might have been noted by an
especially close observer was that they
did not care a great deal whether they
sweepers did not seem to care about
covering great deal of ground. but
scrubbed and scrubbed away in front or
the entrance of the Germania Bank un-
ii! the cobblestones began TO look 8 pol
ished as the proverbial rolling stones.
Just before noon a slightly built dark
and pretty girl came out OF the door OF
the bank carrying a handbag over her
arm. She hugged the bag closely to her
body and looked about nervously before
descending the step to the sidewalk.
There was "A crowd passing, and she
finally mingled with it and started to
walk west in Spring street, still guard
ing her handbag carefully.
She had taken only a few steps when
there was a rush of feet, scufiie and
two men darted away
"Oh. oh. They have taken my hand
bag" the girl cried, holding up the
leather thong by which she had carried
IL slung over her arm.
Then a strange thing happened. Ped
lers and pushcart men, and even the
street sweepers polishing the stones, sud
denly displayed the greatest combina-
ton of alertness, chivalry and agility
that ever was known TO come to the aid
of a maiden in distress. Every one OF
them likewise proved to have pistol in
bia hin pocket. despite the Sullivan law,
and their guns began to crack as they
took up the pursuit of four men who
broke away from the crowd centring
about the screaming girl. Pedlers and
sweepers alike were Headquarters de-
tectives. waiting there for just such a
thing TO happen as did happen.
Tran Bated at "HoId-up Corner"
Bowery and Spring street has become
known as ''hold-up corner" on Saturday
moons. owing to the number'of robberies
there during the last few weeks. A
gang had learned that it was the Gus
tom of a number Of business men to
send their cashiers to the bank at that
hour each week to draw out funds TO
pay their employees. These cases were
reported to the police and Commissioners

The Valves Thrown Open.

Precisely at : o'clock another whistle
sounded from the North Carolina, and
another gun was fired. The crew in
stantly threw open the valves and, with
Captain O'Brien, jumped aboard tug

tance away. Then all eyes In the great
feet were fixed on the wreck, the crews
of the warships lining the rails. All
was silence but for the wash Of the

there was a flash Of blue and white. as

simultaneously the decks were blown up
by the air pressure. and with incredible
velocity the Maine plunged down, leav-
ing no trace save flowers tossing on the
surface of the sea.
The silence was broken by whistle
blasts from the whole fleet, which was
the only salute. Ten minutes later the
Cuban flagship Hatuey fired farewell

Of time is Lydia e. Pinkhan's Vege-

Beckley was confined in the deten-

dence, and while there employed the

the sum of S34. He asked the city
to reimburse him for this amount, and
