NARROW ESCAPE
When Auto Is Stalled on
Railroad Crossing.

Four school teachers at public
school No. 4, Kreischerville, are to-
day relating a narrow escape that
they had on Wednesday while re-
turning to Tottenville from the

teachers are the Misses Laura Bing-
ham, Helen Sharf, Ida Wilcox and
Laura Tompkins, who board in
Prospect avenue, To~ttenville. They
were returning home in Alfred We'll
ler's seven-passenger touring car
when it became stalled on the
Broadway crossing of the Staten Is

O'Clock train out of Tottenville came
laundering into the Atlantic station.
All four jumped from the machine,
but the engineer, seeing the stalled
car in time, stopped the train within
a short distance of the machine. Mr..

back and forth from the school for

that she will walk now before she
will ride again in an automobile.
The machine was backed off the

UNCLE SAM IS
KING BUILDER
Burnt Clay Resists Fire Bet
tor That Other Material.

The erection of about 100000 900
worth of buildings every year
makes the United States govern
ment the country's largest builder.
The buildings belonging to the Unit
ed States-mints, courts, postofices,
revenue offices, and others-have an
estimated value of between $780,
100000 and S%400,0 00, 900.
The government does not carry
insurance on it's property. Instead,
it makes every effort to put up
buildings that can't burn. The re-
suit of this policy is that the yearly
loss from fire is far less than the
insurance premiums would be.
To attain the highest possible de-
gree of safety, the United States
Geological Survey has carried on
elaborate tests to determine which
materials resist fire most successful
ly. In the last few years the gov
eminent has protected its buildings
with burnt clay in the form of terra
Gotta blocks. The government ex-
pert who was sent to investigate the
effects of the San Francisco fire re-
ported that burnt clay, when used in
sufficient quantities and proper
form, resisted fire better than any,
other material.
The War College in Washington
is one of the examples of perfect fire
protection achieved by the govern
ment methods. The Chicago post
office is another. The home of the
Bureau of American Republics, the
Pension Office, the Congressional
Library, and the Marine Barracks
are a few more buildings that, in
their construction, explain why it is
not necessary for the government to
pay for fire insurance.

OCTOBER TERM
COUNTY COURT
Wilson Candy Case to Come
Up at Thi. Time.

The October term of the county
court for the county of Richmond
will onven at the courthouse in
Richmond on Monday, October Z.
County Judge j. Harry Tiernan will
preside. When the grand jury con-
venes at the same time that body
will be called upon to consider more
than forty cases. Two of these are
murder cases, one is a burglary,
twenty are assault cases and the rest
vary from grand larceny TO abandon
ment Of children. Eighteen prison
ers are in jail and the others are
under bond. Besides these there
are a number of indictments in cases
set down for trial at the coming
term of court. Among these Is the
case of Frank Jackson, the colored
mar indicted for killing Charles
Stevens in Stapleton last summer.
Jackson was captured in Silver Lake
Park after he had attempted suicide
by cutting his throat. He was in
the infirmary for a long time. The
other murder case is that of Pas
quale Juliano, indicted for murder
in the first degree, accused of kill
ing Angelo Crescittello in Tompkins-
vile in July.
The case of J. Wilson Candy, son
of Reuben G. Candy, ST., of Pleas
ant Plains, for a violation of section
2,010 of the penal code, will also be
taken up. Candy is held on two
charges. At a hearing before Mag
istrate Handy, Germaine Braillard,
a French girl, nineteen years old,
swore that Candy decoyed her into
a woods under pretense of showing
her the way to her destination; that
he made improper proposals to her,
beat her with his fists and when she
made an outcry stabbed her with
her own hatpin and robbed her. The
second charge is preferred by a girl
fifteen years old who lives in the
Bronx. She testified in the police
court hat Candy took her to a
dance at South Beach and on the
way home maltreated her. At the
first hearing the accused offered to
marry this girl, but his offer was de-
clined. AT the second hearing he
had a lawyer, who put the prisoners
case in a different light. Magistrate
Handy al this time would not accept
bail and the prisoner has been lock-
ed up in Jail since his arrest OF July
10.
Elizabeth M. Edmunds, who shot
District Attorney Albert G. Each,
has three charges against her, as
sault in the first degree, attempted
murder and carrying a concealed
weapon. She is in jail since the
shooting on August 19.
