Emigrants Held at Cuxhaven Sail for New York Danger of Infection From Germany Remote. Cuxhaven, Prussia, September 2 The Hamburg-American line Bteamer Moltke, bound for New York, waited until Thursday while all her steerage passengers were examined in quarantine. No suspicions of cholera were found among them and they re-embarked on the Moltke and proceeded. Berlin, September 2 The German Imperial Health office to-day made the following statement concerning the probability of cholera reaching the United States from Germany: "The danger of the migration of cholera to America from Germany Is remote. Since the experiences of 1892-93 arrangements have been perfected to combat the disease, even U' its importation cannot be prevented.

Hamburg and Bremen are the most dangerous spots and to them the most care has been devoted. The water system of Hamburg, which ueed to be fed from the Elbe, has been changed so that no drinking water Is taken from the Elbe. That was the cause of the epidemic of 1892. So far only sporadic cases have occurred within German territory, derived from Russian raftsmen and the single emigrant who died at Hamburg." Radom, Russian Poland, September 2 No case of cholera has been discovered In Radom Province or elsewhere in this vicinity. Warsaw, Russian Poland, September 2 Tho reports from West Prussia and the an nouncement of three deaths from cholera In Gallcla yesterday no longer leave any doubt that the Vistula district Is infected with the disease at present.

It Is known that four deaths from cholera occurred in Russian Poland and several suspected cases are announced from Clechoeinek. a water ing place not far from the Russian frontier. The government of Kielce bordering on Gallcla is still free from the epidemic. Warsaw itself Is also exempt and the report of a case of cholera at Lodz is denied. Doctors have been sent to various points along the Vistula for the purpose of observation nnd a special committee Is ready to act in caso of an Increase of the disease.

SIGNING CEREMONY ON MONDAY. Tuesday the Latest Date for Important Function Article Relating to Sat halin Mutually Satisfactory. Portsmouth, N. September 2 It Is ex pected that the text of the treaty will he completed to-day. Only two articles remain to be Two callgraphers from the State Department are already here to be gin the work of engrossing, and everything; now Indicates that the ceremony of signing the treaty can tnke place Tuesday at the latest, possibly Monday.

The statement made last night that the series of conferences which continued until almost midnight related to differences over the article concerning the division of Sak 'halin, is fully confirmed. The Japanese at first were inclined to be obdurate, but an arrangement mutually satisfactory was pro visionally agreed to and is expected to be finally ratified by the chief plenipotentiaries during the day. The article relating to Sakhalin will be In accordance with the original agreement as given in the Associated Press dispatches of Tuesday night, namely, mutual obligation not to fortify Sakhalin and obligation on the part ot Japan not to fortify La Perouse Straits. The only other question which re mains to be resolved Involves the details of the evacuation of Manchuria. The troops are to be immediately withdrawn, the Japanese to the line of Mukden and the Russians to Harbin.

The details of the subsequent with drawal have not yet been arranged. The Japanese desired that the word de scribing the statue of La Perouse Straits should be "open," but the Russians wanted it distinctly specified that no fortifications should be erected on Japan's side which could supporm war neet, or under whoie guns a fleet, could operate. They did not want the situation to be similar to that of Gibraltar which, although "open" could, if England desired, be Instantly closed. As to the evacuation of Manchuria, the Japanese want the method and time of the withdrawal of troops particularized and the number of the "railroad guards" which are to. remain specified in the bond.

To permit this question to be left open would be equlv. alent to a tacit understanding that Russia was to retain her "sphere of influence" In northern and Japan hers In southern Man churla. It would revive, in a way, the very situation which existed before the war. Con trol of Manchuria might become a bone of contention leading eventually tp another war. CZAR AWAITS DETAILS.

Until They Are at Hand No Formal Steps to End War Will Be Taken. St. Petersburg, September 2 At the War Office this afternoon It was said that no formal orders have yet been given regard ing the armistice; that no steps have yet been taken to terminate the movements of troops going to the Far East and that no recent mobilization has been discontinued. In fact, no steps whatever have yet been taken toward putting an end to the regular work of shipping men and supplies to Man churia or any other business connected with keeping the Manchurian army on a war footing. The explanation was that no orders would be given to these ends until the details of the formal announcement of armistice are fully understood with the Japanese after formal orders have been sent by Russia and Japan to their respective commanders who will meet In the field and arrange the details uch as determining the dividing line, etc ENVOYS COMING TO OYSTER BAY Russian and Japanese Delegations Will Be President's Guests on Separate Days in Near Future.

Oyster Bay, September 2 Arrangements have already been shaped. In a tentative way, for the return of President Roosevelt to Washington. Such business as Is not of a pressing nature Is being postponed until the President can take it up directly with his Cabinet offlers at tho White House.

The (rates for the luncheons have not been fixed, but will be dependent In great degree on the conclusions and signing; of the peace treaty. The President will make no formal expression concerning the conclusion of Deaco until the treaty shall have been signed. No visitors were scheduled to arrive at Sngamoro Hill to-day.

Wood Alcohol MAn Boasted "Money in Politics" Would Change State Map In Spite of Law.

Facts are leaking out, substantiating rumors of big steals or Illicit transfers of public foresti lands In the Adirondacks. The people of the state, feeling that these preserves have been fully protected by state statutes, have given little thought to the possibility that transactions have been under way for several years depriving the state not only of choice forests, but also of the lands on which these forests have grown. Ramond S. Spears, In Forest and Stream, Issued to-day. says that the administration of the Adirondack forest lands has always been amazing as any one would know who was cognizant of events when Middleton was turned out of the Forest Commission of New York.

He Bays people were surprised and indignant at the way public lands were being "skinned by thieves in the pulp and lumber business." That the state allowed the thleveB to keep the pulp on payment of 20 or 30 per cent. In "hues." He says that pulp wood is worth $4 a cord and since no primitive flue is interesting to the casual reader. And now that the state will levy a charge of $2 a cord does not seem to mend matters. Mr. Spears states further that while It was quite evident that timber was being stolen and the man who tried to stop it was "marked" by the thieves, It was little dreamed that the very land on which the timber grew would be stolen lor that was contrary to the state constitution, and it was believed that the constitution forbade the sale of forest landB also.

But not so; for, through the machinations politics and money the thing has come to puss, and into private hands In response to the boast of a wood alcoholy man that it could be secured by money plus a political influence. This particular tract, known as the "Halter or "State lot" No. 79, lay above Northwood, In Herkimer County, Town of Ohio, and ie famous among backwoodsmen of that locality for its rutlled grouse In the hardwood growths, and lis hillsides, and the woodcocK in the alder beda on its Hats. Its coves and bayous afford excellent duck shooting, and deer have a runway through It. This year the map of the state lands In the Adirondacks does not show lot No.

79 In red any more, which is assumed to be proof that the boast of the wood alcohol manufacture has been realized. Mr. Spears, thinking that the disappearance of the red cast, signifying state lands, bad been omitted In this particular tract owing to some typographical error, wrote to Secretary WhlBh, of the Forest Commission, tor Information concerning it. Mr. Whlsh replied as follows: "He (Superintendent Fox.

of the Forest) Bays In reference to the old Hatter place, lot 79, Remsenburg patent, that the State Land Board sold it to the Finch Chemical Company without consulting the commission. In former reports, he says, he had protested against such acts without apparent success." Commenting on this unconstitutional transaction, Mr. Spears writes: "Evidently the State Land Board has committed tha outrage against which protested hundreds of thousands of voters who put in the Constitution an amendment forbidding the sale of land in the forest preserve. Here is a case where state lands are alleged to have been sold to a private corporation, those lands being a part of the forest preservo lor the integrity and maintenance of which public sentiment Is overwhelmingly favorable. "People wanted the forest lands preserved to maintain the water supply, to preserve the game, and most of all, to keep It- open for the public health and pleasure.

And yet. right here is a case where forest land, wlt'j hardwood upon it, was sold to a company engaged in making wood alcohol and charcoal, the most destructive thing to forest lands, next to a fire and water overflow." Mr. Spears says further f.iat he notes that other tracts have, in recent years, changed from red to wljlte on the map. and that it is up to the state authorities to explain why It is so, and It Is the duty of societies having the interest of the state at heart to probe the matter and trail down the men who have state lands in their possession, by virtue of their office, or otherwise. TMe writer referred also to lake lands In the town of Harrletston, Franklin county, which have lately changed from red to whitg or the map.

"It looks to me," he says, "that the most noted of Adirondack ponl3 bad been Juggled out of the hands of the people into those of some private outfit." He says. too. ttiat while Colonel W. F. Fox say-B he has protested against such acts, it la well known that "Colonel Fox has been trying to get things so fixed that 'Judicious lumbering' could be carried out on staie lands." MISCREANTS POISON PET DOGS.

Congressman Waldo'3 Handsome Conch Spaniel and Neighbor's King Charles Killed With Strychnine. Dog poisoners are at work In Flatbush. Last Sunday, Congressman George E. Waldo's beautiful black Bpaniel coach dog, Tom, waa poisoned In some unaccountable way, and at the same time a little King Charles spaniel. Prince, owned by Mra.

Badger, who lives next door to the Waldos on East Eighteenth street, was killed In the same manner. Mystery surrounds the incident, nnd there Is no clew to the perpetrators of the deed. Congressman Waldo, with his wife and children, are traveling in Europe. In his absence the house Is occupied by Mr. Hobby, his secretary, Tom, the dog, wns an especial favorite of Mrs.

Waldo for nine years and when he acted queerly last Sunday Mr Dobby thought It was an exhibition of grid for his absent mistress. But when the dog howled plteously In pain he sent for a veterinary surgeon, who pronounced the dog to be suffering from strychnine poisoning. The same surgeon was called in to examine Mrs. Badger's dog Prince, which was ailing from some unknown trouble. The veterinary found thnt the spaniel had aMo been poisoned with strychnine.

He did what he could to arrest the course of the drus. but without succies. Both Tom and Prince died within a short time after the was administered. These dog poisoning cases havo not been reported to the police, but nn effort Is being made to discover the identity of the miscreants. If they are found out those who have Buffered from their work have promised to make thlnss Interesting for thorn.

Wicks responded to the ambulance call and after attending the man removed him to the hospital for treatment PEACE NEWS BY WIRELESS. Passengers on La Lorraine Learned of the Agreement When 800 Miles Out at Sea. How the news of the Russian-Japanese peace agreement was flashed about the Atlantic Ocean and received by vessels Btill several days out of port and hundreds of miles beyond direct communication with wireless telegraph stations on land, was reported by the steamship La Lorraine, which arrived hero to-day. Last ThurEday, while La Lorraine was about 800 miles east of Xew York, the peace message was suddenly caught on its wireless instruments and the bp rider was learned to be the steamship Kronprlnz Wilhelm, bound for Europe, and already about two days out of New York harbor. An iceberg was sighted the same dav very near La Lorraine.

A defect in one of La Lorraine's shafts caused the steamship to make part of the passage at reduced speed. FATAL FALL FROM WINDOW. Mrs. Josephine Gilmartin Tumbled Out While Walking in Her Sleep. Mrs.

Josephine Gilmartin, 55 years old, and for fifteen years employed as a nurse on Randall's Island, went over to Manhattan last night to visit her friend Bridget Berrill, who lives on the third floor of 2056 Second avenue. During the night Mrs. Gilmartin arose in her sleep, it 1b believed, and fell out of a window. Patrolman O'Brien, of the East One Hun-dren and Fourth street station, found the woman lying on the sidewalk, unconscious. She was carried back to the Berrill apartments, where she died before the arrival of an ambulance surgeon from the Harlem Hospital.

BURNED BY THE THIRD RAIL. Henry Kline and John Petro, of Brooklyn, Severely Injured While Working on an Track. Henry Kline, 21 years old, a riveter. In the employ of the Interborough Company, and John Petro, 21 years old, a driller, were badly burned about the face, arms and hands this morning while at work on the track at One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street and Eighth avenue, Manhattan, a few feet north of the station platform. The men were engaged in replacing old rivets in the track with new ones.

It Is supposed that one of them dropped a rivet on the third rail. At any rate, there was a loud report, followed by a blinding flash of flame, and then the two workmen were seen lying prone upon a boardwalk that runs alongside the track, their clothing afire. A number of ties near them were also ablaze. Employes of the station ran to the men and picked them up, while others extinguished the burning ties. A surgeon from the J.

Hood Wright Hospital, who came in response to an ambulance call, dresed the Injured men's burns and took them to the hospital. He pronounced the burns serious but not dangerous. The accident occurred at 7:30 an hour when the station platform was well filled with passengers, and for a time there was a small panic. Kline lives at 183 Aveunc and Petro at 63 Pacific street, Brooklyn. DR.

HUNT IS AGAIN ARRESTED. Igorrote Village Manager Gives Bail When Wife Causes Apprehension on Abandonment Charge. The troubles of Dr. Truman K. Hunt, manager of the Igorrote village at Dreamland, are not yet at an end, seemingly, as he was again arrested last night at Coney Island, this time on a charge of abandonment.

He was placed under arrest at Dreamland by Policeman John J. Allen, of the Fifth District Court In Manhattan, on a warrant Issued by Magistrate Sewell Baker. The complainant in the warrant is Mrs. Elso W. Hunt.

The physician was immediately admitted to ball, Samuel W. Gumperts. manr ager of Dreamland, signing for his appearance in the Manhattan court when wanted. Hunt returned to the Igorrote village as soon ns tho bail bond was signed. Ho was arrested Wednesday night by Thomas McGuire.

who said he was a state detective, on a charge of bigamy. McGuire, who said his shield number was 133, asked the assistance of Captain Dooley In arresting Hunt, but the captain simply sent a man along with McGuire. The latter showed no warrant when tho prisoner was taken to the police station and he was unable to give the name of the complainant who charged him with bigamy. When Hunt was arraigned before Magistrate Voorhees the following morning, neither McGuire nor the complainant were present, and tho physician was discharged. Dr.

Hunt refused to say anything about the can. BLAZE IN APARTMENT HOUSE.

Order of Health Oflicer Baker Has Stirred Up the Community. NOISE DISTURBS MR. QUICK. Church Trustees Vow They Will Not Obey Order Case May Get Into the Courts. (Special to the Eagle.) Bellport, L.

September 2 Dr. C. W. Baker, health officer of Brookhaven Town, this week notified the trustees of the Bell-port M. E.

Church that they must stop an alleged nuisance In the excessive ringing of the church bell on Sunday mornings. Under the order of the town health officer, the bell ringer must not strike the bell moro than twenty strokes for each of the three services, morning, afternoon and evening, and, in addition to the limited number of strokes, the bell clapper must be wrapped with a felt covering to deaden the noise. On week days the bell must not be struck more than twenty times for the services. The trustees of the church were given five days in which to comply with the order of felting" the bell, and if the order is not complied with by to-morrow the work will be done by the health board and tho expense collected In whatever way possible from the church. The unusual order of the health officer has caused considerable discussion as to his right to Issue it, and it Is believed that this is the first time in the hstory of Long Island that such an order had been given.

It is claimed by the friends of the church under the ban of the health board that the proceeding was uncalled for and unnecessary, as the bell has been rung for years without previous con.olaint. and it is hinted that certain influences have been working against the Methodist people in calling in the town authorities on tho matter. The people of Bellport are highly Indignant at the order of Health Officer Baker, and the trustees of the church saytbey will not ohey it, and will "positively refuse to aiiuv uiiy unu iu L'liiri me ami vu iu ivi.wt. out the Instructions laid down. Prominent citizens interviewed by an Eagle reporter say the order is an outrage, and add that they cannot understand Dr.

Baker's attitude, while it is hinted that certal'2 prominent politicians are behind the matter. The complaint against the church bell was entered by Fred T. Quick, a New York stock broker, who has a handsome summer home acros3 the street from the church. He has not been well of late and be claimed the bell aggravated his nervousness. The rest-dents here, church members and non-churcb) members, contend that Mr.

Quick's action Is uncalled for and that he has no right thus intrude upon time honored privilege of the community. The trustees of the church, who will re fuse to obey the town order, are E. M. a former Brooklynite; John Corwia. Ira Rog.

era, John Ryder and Edward A. Hawkins. Dr. Baker's order, as filed with Town Clerk Chichester here yesterday, reads that "the bell must not be rung more than twenty strokes for any regular or preaching service, not to exceed three times on Sunday, and not to exceed twenty strokes on any week day." If necessary tho church people will take tho matter Into the courtB. Postmaster Cor-win said: "It Is one of the worst outrages that ever happened In a community; It is without principle and against humanity." Mr.

Quick recently, while running his automobile on Ocean avenue, in Patchogue, wa3 barely saved from collision with a rail road train by Gateman Terrell closing thai gates at the crossing. MILE IN 36 SECONDS. Frank Kulick's Fast Practice Spin at Atlantic City Expects to Break Eecord. (Special to the Eagle.) Atlantic City, N. September 2 Crowds of enthusiasts have gathered here to witness the automobile racing on the beach this afternoon.

Early In the morning the weather was unpropitous, but a strong east wind has come up and clear but clouded weather will be in order this afternoon. Over seventy cars have been entered in the races and nearly all of them are on hand ready to start. The fast cars were tried out on the beach yesterday afternoon and the best time reported was a milo In 36 seconds by Frank Kulick, driving Henry Ford's new 60 horsepower speed creation. Kulick says that tha beach here is much faster than the Capa May course and almost equal to the Florida btf.cn. A.

L. Campbell, who piloted the 80 fiorte-power Dnrracq over the Cape May course in 38 seconds, has been here several days, but refuses to say what times he has matlu on the beach in practice. Chevrolet and Cedrleo with the 120 horsepower Gordon Bennett Fiat and tho "Flat Junior," had a day's practice and tuning up and expect to make a much better showing than they did at Cape May. The race, which is attracting the most attention is the one between Mrs. Joan Newton Cuneo.

who dcove her White enr with so much skill In the Glidden tour, nnd Mrs. E. T. Fltler, carried off several prizes with her Packard ear at P.in. Mav Walter Christie has been practicing here for a week with his double ended racing car and his friends are bnclting him to make the fastest time.

The wise ones shake their when record breaking Is mentioned and point out the fact that the damp weather will make a very poor mixture in the carburetors. In consequence the various cars will be unable to develop their best speed. DENOUNCED ARREST OF GIRLS. Magistrate Voorhees Scores Two Policemen for Making Unwarranted Accusations of VagTancy. A young woman describing herself as Helen Pease, 20 years old, and giving her address as Bowery and Stratton's walk, was arrested last night by Patrolman Sangunlt-to, of the Coney Inland station, on a charge oi vagrancy.

Tho policeman said the girl could not give a good account of herself and had been on Cony Island for Be vera! weeks. The gtrl said she had a room on Coney Inland.

The girls had commited no crime, uor had they violated any law. "It appears that girls have no right to promenade the boardwalk or the street at Coney island, according to tho police oylo- iou, gaui tue magistrate.

The Last Dispatches Received Told of Discontent and Anger at Peace Conditions. MAYBE TYPHOONS HURT CABLES The Single Cable Owned by the Government, However, Is Working, but Well Censored. The mysterious silence of the Japanese government concerning the peace treaty was given an almost ominous aspect this morning when it was announced by two- cable companies that cable communication with Japan had been Interrupted and that the Mikado's empire was cut off from the rest of the world all of ycsterdiy and lost night. Several wild suggestions were made today In explanation of the strange break In the cables Just at the time when the world was waiting to hear what the Mikado say of the work his envoys had done at Portsmouth. Ouo theory advanced was that there had been an outbreak in Japan and that the insurgents had cut the wires, or the government had seized them.

This suggestion was not received favorably by the cable companies. They thought the cables had been brok en by typhoons. Typhoons are getting lively Just now, but they are going unusually deep If they are breaking cables at the bottom of the ocean, ocean. The situation was made even more mysterious this afternoon by the word from the Commercial Cable Company that Japan could be reached by way of Formosa over the government cable. This line is known as the Loo-Choo Islands route.

It Is owned by the government of Japan. All privately owned cables running Into Japan are cut or broken. It Is absolutely Impossible to reach Japan over the regular route via Shanghai. Though the Geirrmereial Cable Company will take messages to Japan by way of Formosa, It subjects all messages to conditions as to delay In transmission or failure to transmit. The superintendent of the Cable Company's general offices at 20 Broad street said this afternoon that he bad no idea how long It would take a message to reach Japan.

Last News Beceived From Japan Was Disquieting. Not a word has come from Toklo, or any part of Japan In nearly two days, so far as could be ascertained this afternoon. The Japanese envoys at Portsmouth may well be mystified at this silence, especially when they learn that the Mikado's own cable by way of the Loo-Choo Islands Is in operation. They may well ask why he doesn't send some word that way, if the other lines are broken. The last news from Toklo was of a very disquieting niture.

It told of the anger of tho people because of Japan's concessions to Russia. In some of the newspaper utterances cabled from Toklo there was a veiled threat of trouble. "Arise, brethren!" was the sensational Introduction of an editorial In the Yorozu, an Independent radical organ of Tokio. This paper made a bitter attack on the settlement at Portsmouth, and, after recalling the attempt to asslnate Count Okuma. it said: "The people will never remain quiet when the national Interests are menaced." 1 ho Yorozu said that the nation would be humiliated unless strong action wai? taken by the people.

It said national disgrace could be prevented only by the speedy inter vention of the people. "If such Intervention docs not come," It pays, "our brothers killed on the field will have died an inglorious death." The J1J1 declared that a peace concluded on such terms could never satisfy the nation. Other newspapers denounced the peaco as a humiliating climax to a serleB of glori ous victories on land and sea. The last press dispatch from Toklo said that Marquis ito and Premie Katsura had received many protests and memorials appealing against the terms of peace as made public in the newspapers. The full terms have not yet reached the Japanese public, and it was annouueed that it might be a month before the peace treaty would be gazetted.

No Word of Congratulation From the Mikado. Every dispatch from Portsmouth tells of the anxiety of the Japanese envoys over tho continued E'llence of their government. They say that monsoons have no doubt interrupted cable communication, but they neglect to explain why the Mikado waited four days until monsoons broke the wires, while he could have sent a telegram of congratulations with greater ease than the correspondents In Toklo got through their daily dispatches. Though the kings and emperors and great men of the world have crowded the wires with messages of congratulation for President Rooaevelt, there has come no word from the Mikado. Czar Nicholas hastened to thank and congratulate the President, and his message to his envoys reached Ports-mouth some time ago.

The government cable line by way of Formosa is rarely used, except for government business. Messages to Japan go west by way of the Commercial Pacific Cable Company's line, via Guam and the Philippines. Instead of going to Shanghai and thence to Nagasaki, as all messages of the envoys have traveled to Tokio, the messages are sent to-day to Foochow, China. They go from Foochow to Tam-Sui, in the extreme north of the Japanese Island of Formosa. From Tam-Sui the government cable runs through the Loo-Choo chain of islands, the line touching at Sakiycda.

Ryu-Kyu. Dishlhoml, and reaching Japan at Ohama. It was said nt the offices of the Commercial Cable Company that no explanation of the break in the wires beyond Shanghai, China, had been received. Messages yesterday got as far as Hongkong and Shanghai, but no further. The last dispatch received by tho Associated Press from Jnpan left Tokio dny before yesterday and come through without delay.

That dispntch was sent more than forty-eight hours ago. It told how the public had been kept from knowing that Sakhalin was to be divided and that the Indemnity had been waived. It said that the people were criticising nnd objecting, and that cabinet changes were inevitable. Since then every attempt to get. in communication with the Associated Press correspondent in the Japanese capital has failed.

The suggestion of Mr. Snto, nt Portsmouth, that rigid censorship might be responsible fo rlack of news, is believed by many persons to be the true explanation, yet It seems peculiar that censorship should be so rigid and severe ns to prevent the Mikado himself from sending through a llttlo message.

Mrs. Eastwood, of Bay Shore, Informed L. I. City Police Conspirators Had Offer of $50,000 to Kill Her. "I am beautiful and 40, and $50,000 has been offered to conspirators to murder me," was the startling exclamation uttered by a stout, undersized woman, dressed In deep mourning, who arrived in Long Island City on the 1:30 Bay Shore train yesterday afternoon.

On emerging from the depot she sought the protection of Policeman Joseph Kane, who is stationed at the entrance to the ferry. The woman said that she had fled from Bay Shore to elude her would-be murderers, and that she hadn't slept a wink all night, as her assassins had to be constantly fought off. She told Officer Kane that her name was Mrs. Eastwood, that she was a widow, and that her husband was a policeman attached to the Ninth Precinct, on Charles street, Manhattan, during the time that the late Captain Copeland was In command, and that he had lost his life in the discharge of his duty, while arresting two burglars. Detective John Kennedy, of the Hunter's Point police station, came to the scene, and upon further questioning the woman calmed down considerably and became apparently perfectly rational, and waB allowed to depart.

She said, in parting with the officers, that she was going to the Jefferson Market police court, and would make application for warrants for the arrest of the people who sought her life, but her mind was not quite clear as to who these vindictive persons were, nor what their object was in doing so. Mrs. Eastwood is evidently a woman of refinement, was richly dressed and la a small bag which she carried she had a roll of bills. Inquiry at Bay Shore revealed tho fact that Mrs. Eastwood does live there.

She is tho widow of William Eastwood, a retired police officer, who died some years ago. She lives alone there, and is said to be more than 40 years of age. She is described as possessing a mania that her age is 40, and that thieves are constantly trying to rob her of her diamonds and other Jewelry or do her bodily harm. It is said Mrs. Eastwood is wealthy, and except for the delusions mentioned Is entirely capable of caring for herself.
