New York, July 25.-When James
Burke, trackman, went to work this
morning on the Third Avenue elevat-
ed, he told of a nightmare he had
had Wednesday night to Patrick Ma
honey. a fellow-laborer.
81 was in the arms of gigantic
apes,' said Burke. "All around me
were gigantic figures, with red eyes
and long, muscular arms. There were
the teeth ,fangs long, and ycllo wand
the nails of the apes hands, long and
crooked like the beak of an eagle. The
long crooked nails sank into my
throat and the red eyes were close
to mine and | felt heated breath IS
sue from beneath the yellow fangs'
| dreampt that | was choking, that
the nails were cutting my throat"
81 didn't want to come to work to-
day." he went on. ~ thought it might
be the last time
"You probably ate something tt"t
didn't agree with you," declared Ma:
money cheerfully.
The men began work. Burke start
ed to cross the tracks with a crow
bar on his shoulder, missed his foot
ing and stepped between two ties.
The crowbar, on which Burke re-
tained his hold, fell on the third rail
There was flash and more than a
hundred persons on the platforms at
Chatham Square saw Burke's bcdY
straighten as the electric current
passed through'it. A doctor who re,
sponded to a call said death had beer

LoNG-EsTABLIsHED HOUSE.
Oldest Hardware Establishment in
This Section of the Country.

Elsewhere in today's Gazette will
be found the card of the Carlin-Hul-
fish Company Incorporated, which en-
joys the distinction Of being the old
est hardware house in this section of
the country, and with the exception
of E. S. Leadbeater & Sons, drug
gists, doubtless has the-longest record
Of any continuous business in the city.
Beginning in a most modest way,
the late Jas F. Carlin established the
business in 1874 in small store room
across the street from the present To-
cation, and since then the concern
has grown steadily until at the pres
ent time the business requires four
teen store rooms and four Easements
in the two three-story buildings, 313-
315 King street, to properly supply
their trade in the city and in all the
adjacent counties of Virginia and
Maryland.
Since the death of the founder in
1882, his example and sound business
policy has been carefully followed,
and the business today stands mon
ument to his spirit and influence as
well as to the good judgment and en-
!ergy of the present management.
The firm v'as Incorporated in 1906.
under the name of Carlin-Hulfsh Co.,
with the officers as shown in their

The senior member of the firm Mr..
Worth Hulfsh, who has been Presi
dent and treasurer since the incorpo-
ration, is today receiving the congrat-
ulations of his friends, on his compile
ton of 30 years continuous service
with this business, he having started
when a boy with Mr. Jas. F. Carlin on
