HELD UP NEAR BALLARD, ORE. Conductor Reports That Seven Men Were in Robbery--Two Boys Are Captured. Portland, October 3-A dispatch from Seattle says that the Great Northwestern overland train, which left Seattle 'at 8:30 o'clock last night, was held up and a baggage and express car dynamited half a mile east of Mile Post No. 10, about five miles from Ballard, at 8:45 P.M. It wag 11 o'clock before the train pulled into Edmonds and only meager reports were sent to the local office.

Three men are known to have done the work, although two boys who climbed on the blind baggage there took advantage of the situation and when the train was halted went through the passenger coaches, holding up the passengers. The boys were captured. So far as known, no one was killed, but it is reported that Charles Anderson, express messenger, was slightly injured. The robbers secured the contents of the safe in the express car and departed in an easterly direction. Manager Waring, Great Northern Express Company, said later that he did not know what the contents of the safe were, but believed that it contained only a small amount of money.

The train was flagged near the brick yard and as the engineer up two men, wearing rain coats and hats, climbed slowed, over the tender and presented revolvers at the engineer's head. Conductor Grant's report of the holdup shows that at least seven men were engaged in the robbery. The conductor believes there were other men farther down the track, but they did not take any part, possibly because the train had stopped too soon. When once inside the car, the robbers began dynamiting, the first explosion being of six sticks, the second of twelve and the third of eighteen. While the robbers were engaged on the safe, the two boys who had been riding on the blind baggage slipped off and went through the train, attempting to hold up the passengers.

They had no guns, but took advantage the timidity of the passengers while the shooting was going on outside. The boys, who gave their names as Frank Alfred and Roland Gibbs, are now in jail at Everett. A passenger on the train says their method while going through the coaches consisted ed of more of a begging character than holdup. No one was injured seriously, although a continual fire of revolvers was kept up. Stories differ as to the number of the robbers engaged in the job.

There were at least three. There may have been four or even more. The express messenger says he does not know how much was obtained by the holdups. The local safe was not molested. JILTED GIRL TRIES SUICIDE.

Delia Markowitz Had a Quarrel With Her Lover and Then Jumped Into the River. Della Markowitz, 20 years old, of 236 Henry street, Manhattan, tried to drown herself in the East River this morning, but was prevented by the timely appearance on the scene of William McMahon, a volunteer life saver. The girl, who will recover, is now in Gouverneur Hospital a prisoner, charged with attempted suicide. Miss Markowite, was seen by several persons on East River, which is at the foot Grand street, to make her way to the end of the pier and without hesitation leap into the water. The cries of the spectators brought McMahon to the spot on the run.

Seeing the girl struggling in the water, he jau ped in and managed to get her to a raft, from which, with the assistance of the spectators, he brought her to shore. Then Patrolman Dedlick called an ambulance from Gouverneur Hospital. After the ambulance surgeon had pumped the young woman out she was taken to the hospital. On the way there she told Policeman Dedlick that she and her lover had quarreled the night before, and when the latter left it was with a vow never to see her, again. thought about it all through the night, and this morning I had arrived at the conclusion that life was no longer worth the she added, "and so I sought the river."

Before, Surrogate Church this morning, Mrs. Emma Collins, a daughter of the late Mary J. Lynch, asked that the will of her mother be set aside as involuntary and fraudulent. Mrs. Lynch's will, dated June 14.

1905, bequeathed to two of her daughters $500 each; to another daughter, Mary J. Stokes, $600, to be held in trust for the maintenance of grandchildren, and all the rest of the $20,000 estate to Mary J. Stokes. The testimony of witnesses brought to light quarrels that bad long existed between Mrs. Stokes and her sisters, the principal point of friction seeming to be the fact that the aged mother was cared for by Mrs.

Stokes, who, the sisters claimed, was using this means of making herself the chief beneficiary under the will. Lawyer Steenworth, who drew the will, testifed that he believed the will to be regular. The statements of further witnesses showed that there had evidently been great rivalry between Mrs. Stokes and the other sisters as to the expected terms of the will, and the evidence, to the mind of Surrogate Church. seemed to prove that Mrs.

Stokes had used undue influence in getting her mother to make a will whereby she was the executrix and principal benefciary. The Surrogate set aside the will as in- voluntary. NEW MEMBER OF SCHOOL BOARD. Justice Maddox, of the Supreme Court. this morning administered the oath of office to Mrs.

C. M. Stagg, of 115 Miller avenue, who was appointed a member of the local school board of District No. 40. The board now consists of John T.

McKechnie, chairman; Edward R. Vollmer, H. Ruggles, Miss Ives and Mrs. Stagg. "PAT" CROWE IDENTIFIED.

CONEY ISLAND PROTECTED BY HIGH PRESSURE WATER City Officials Witnessed This Morning Test of New FireFighting Method.

NO SHORTAGE OF WATER NOW. Draw Supply From Ocean by Way of Coney Island Creek-Test Is Declared a Success. Coney Island had an exhibition test of her new high-pressure fire service water mains this morning, the first in the city. It was not so spectacularly successful as was expected, but it was sufficient to give confidence to property owners in Coney who have become accustomed to having their houses, stores, burned out every winter. The test proved that wonderful results can be obtained with high-pressure mains.

Not once was there a shortage of water, and at times the pressure was several times as it is for ordinary city fires. Theoretically, the Fire Department, assisted by the Water Department, put out a great conflagration that was raging on the sandy beach of Sea Breeze Park. The imaginary fire had made headway when Water Commissioner Oakley, Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle, Fire Chief Lally, and a few other officials decided to discover the blaze. They turned in an alarm at 10:23. In just fifty seconds a hose wagon loaded with men came tearing out of West Eighth street and up Surf avenue.

The clatter of horses' hoofs made clangor, for Coney is quiet as a graveyard this time of year. In one minute and five seconds after the alarm was given, the firemen were at the easternmost hydrant of the high pressure main on Surf avenue and in one minute and forty-eight seconds four streams of water were pouring over the broad beach. There was not a second lost, no time was used in coupling hose to engines, or going through the usual work required at a city fire. In six minutes after the alarm was sounded eleven streams pouring thousands of gallons of salt water upon the beach. If there had been a real fire, it would have been drowned out in no time.

It took just about ten minutes to make a lake on the beach. The pressure was not so high as was desired. When the first four hose were screwed to the hydrant, the pressure was only thirty-seven pounds. It should have been much higher. The trouble was with the engineers and their assistants at the pumping station, over on Coney Island Creek.

The employes of the Water Department in charge of the three gas pumping engines, lost their heads because Commissioner Oakley and the other big fellows were down at the Island to pass judgment upon their work. In the excitement they let the air get out of the chambers and only two of the engines could be started. These two engines ran the pressure up to 130 pounds for a few minutes, but, with all the eleven streams going, the average pressure maintained was about forty pounds. Chief Lally and the water officials decided to have another test. They waited an hour while the engineers at the pumping station recovered their heads and filled the air chambers.

Then at 11:46 the signal was given and the first engine started. In two seconds it seemed the water was pouring out of the hose nozzles. The hose was already attached to the hydrants for this test so all that was necessary was to start the engines and turn a crank at each hydrant. This time all the engines worked and the pressure went up to 130 pounds where it was maintained. It did not go as high as 150 pounds when all the hose were connected, but the firemen expect to develop 165 pounds pressure when needed.

The triple Siamese hose gave a wonderful exhibition of power. This hose is a contrivance to join three hose together in one nozzle to intensify the force and power of the stream. It sent a powerful stream of water more than 200 feet. The firemen did clever work in connecting the triple hose nozzle to three individual hose pipes with hardly ten seconds let up 10 the flow of water Despite the fact that the test failed to come up to the programme, Commissioner Oakley expressed himself as perfectly satisfied. Chief Engineer De Varona, of the Water Department, and Deputy Chief Laily, of the Fire Department, said that the exhibition was not so good as the one last Sunday, when a private test was made at the time the high pressure mains were connected with the pumping station.

At that time it took only 37 seconds to get the first engine working after the alarm wos sounded. Other engines were started and all three were working in less than two minutes. In a phenomenally short time the firemen had strung out hose and had sixteen streams going along Surt avenue. The high pressure mains have not yet been turned over to the city. When accepted they will be under the control of the Water Department, though intended for the use of the Fire Department.

The Fire Department will have no one at the pumping station The engineers there will have orders to furnish all the pressure demanded by the firemen. When an alarm is turned in one of the gas engines will start up an immediate pressure of water from the creek. The two other engines will be put into use as required. Already 5,150 feet of 16-inch mains have been completed and 2.700 feet of 12-inch mains put into use. Along these mains are nineteen three-nozzle hydrants, and twentyeight four -nozzle hydrants, so that 169 streams could be thrown if such a large number should be necessary.

Sixteen hose marks the limit of the number the three fire companies at the island can handle conveniently. The pressure is maintained entirely by the three gas engines, each connected to three pumps of a capacity of 1,500 gallons per minute each, or a total capacity of 6,480,000 gallons in twenty-four hours, at a pressure of 150 pounds. This should be enough to wash away the whole of Coney Island. The district already protected by the high pressure mains extends from Surf avenue to West Seventeenth street and West Fifth street, and about 400 feet on either side of Surf Material has been ordered to extend the service to give complete protection to the island. The mains in use to-day provide protection for most of the congested district.

A feature of to-day's exhibition was the quick change from salt water to fresh. It took just a minute to turn on the suction pipes and pour fresh water out of the nozzles, from which had issued salt water from Coney Island Creek. In addition to the high power mains, the people of Coney are protected by the regular city mains. to which Are engines can be attached, as in the city. After the test, Commissioner Oakley, Deputy Fire Commissioner Doyle, Deputy Water Commissioner Frank J.

Goodwin. Deputy Water Commissioner Thomas R. Farrell of Brooklyn and the other officials went down to the pumping station and witnessed the tests in starting the engines. The high pressure mains were built this summer at A cost of about $92.000. The estimated cost of operating the high pressure station is $7,500 a year.

It is the intention to establish high pressure mains and pumping stations all over the congested districts of the city. In this way the salt water from the rivers can be used to good effect and there will never be a shortage of water. JUSTICE J. M. BARKER DEAD.

KNOCKED OFF CAR BY AUTO. James C. Wright Was Thrown Twenty Feet and Sustained Injuries That May Cause Death. James Wright, 35 years old, a rainter, of 246 West One Hundred and Fourteenth street, Manhattan, is dying in Roosevelt Hospital, from a double fracture of his skull, as the result of an accident at Forty-first street and Eighth avenue, where he was knocked off the running board of a street car by a close- passing automobile early this morning. Wright incautiously swung his body out so far from the side of the car that he was struck by the hood of the automobile and thrown off.

He was hurled about twenty feet ahead, falling in the path of the automobile, but the chauffeur managed to stop before reaching the prostrate man. Wright was found to have suffered a compound depressed fracture at the top of his skull and another fracture at the base, each of which is alone likely to kill him. The automobile is owned by A. W. Schalle, a broker, of 50 Broad street, but his chauffeur, W.

W. Harris, who gave his address as the Majestic Automobile Company of Fiftyfourth street and Broadway, was the only person in it at the time of the accident. It was at first thought Wright was but slightly injured, SO the chauffeur was not arrested. If the victim dies, as is now feared, Harris will be taken into custody. 0000 0000 8 THE REALTY MARKET.

The officers went to the Rockaway avenue a address about 1 o'clock and say they were greeted with a volley of profanity from Mrs. Konicke. She did not take kindly to the visitors, who disturbed a number of fashionably dressed women, one of whom said later that she was there to get her fortune told and that when the officers arrived Mrs.

Konicke advised her to give a "fake" name and address. When Mrs. Konicke found that her vile language did not disturb the officers she turned to Patrolman Rang, whom she recognized as a visitor of the day before and called out in dramatic tones: "My curses be upon your bead." Mrs. Konicke told her son to "run for id Schneider because she did not want to sit in a cell" and the boy started in the direction of Broadway. A Broadway liquor dealer.

named Schneider, who bad bailed the woman when she was last in trouble did not furnish the bonds yesterday apparently, for the name of William R. McGuire, of 527 Willoughby avenue, is signed to the bail bond produced in court to-day. Mrs. Konicke, wearing a well -tailored black suit, with a white bat, trimmed witn red, yellow and white ostrich plumes, seemed very nervous when she arrived in court. She seemed overjoyed when Mr.

Schneider, the former bondsman, arrived. and clasped hie hand and invited him to seat beside her. Mr. Schneider did not seem altogether at ease, and took a seat behind the woman. Mr.

McGuire, appeared as counsel for Mrs. Konicke when the case was called, and pleaded not guilty and caid he wished to have the examination at once. It was agreed that the case should go on later. Then there was a consultation between Mr. Schneider, Mra.

Konicke and Lawyer Kathan, after which Mr. McGuire went away, and it was understood that he had retired in favor of Mr. Kathan, who represented Mrs. Konicke in court in May last. Officer Rang claims that he visited the home of Mrs.

Konicke, on Sunday evening, in company with Officer Busick, both new membere of the force, and that Mrs. Konicke pretended to tell hie fortune by the use of picture cards. She told him, be said. that he had a sweetheart whom he was looking for. The sweetheart had left him for another, but would come back.

for she loved him far better than the man she had gone with. On this evidence a warrant was secured. When the police visited the Rockaway avenue house in the spring they found circulare, setting forth the rate of luck charme, love potions, and others giving prices for powders that would cure almost every disease man is heir to. The circulars, Mrs. Konicke said, did not belong to her.

She wan found guilty of being a disorderly person, on the complaint Officer Hellman, and May 24 placed under $500 bail by Magietrate Furlong. to keep the peace. Later Lawyer Kathan got a return on appeal in the County Court. and all the papers were forwarded. Nobody in Gates avenue court seen to-day could tell what the outcome had been.

"CRAZY GEORGE" IS DEAD. Eccentric Character of E. D. Succumbs to an Attack of Heart Failure. George Vogel, an eccentric character, known about the Eastern District for over twenty years, died of heart failure, late yesterday afternoon, while carrying ashes from the Church of the Annunciation, North Fifth and Havemeyer streets.

Vogel, who was widely known wn as "Crazy George," wag harmless in every respect, but a he had a mania for running to fires and attending funerals. There was scarcely a funeral of any note in that part of the city that the presence of "Crazy George" was not noticed. No one knew his age or where he came from. He had no definite home and slept wherever he could get lodging free. He made on precarious living carrying ashes from dwellings and replacing the empty barrels.

No matter what Vogel was doing, the passing of a funeral would cause him to stop and join in the procession. It was the same case in an alarm of fire, and he always headed political and other processions. It is said that his habit of attending. funerals brought him to that of President McKinley at Washington. How he managed to reach the Capitol is a mystery.

He considered it wag his duty to attend the funeral of every deceased policeman, freman and Grand Army veteran. He was assisting in removing the ashes from the church when he failed to return for another barrel. Joseph Bretano, who used Vogel as an assistant, looked for him and came across his body in the alley adJoining the church. NEW SUBWAY DUCTS IN QUEENS. High and Low Power Wires Separated on 600 Miles of Streets.

The New York and New Jersey Telephone Company, conferring with the Queens Department Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, has prepared plans for an ample system of subway ducts from the junction of Onderdonk and Flushing avenues, Metropolitan, just over the Brooklyn line, to which point subways have already been built out to Flushing Creek, a distance of miles. There will be eight and twelve ducts in the various section of the trench which will proceed through Flushing avenue, Grand street, Broadway, Flushing and Newtown Turnpike, and Jackson avenue to Flushing Creek, and from there to the proposed new big central, at Flushing, which is to serve all the northside territory. The company has already laid its subway duets through the town of Jamaica, from Brooklyn to the Nassau County line, by way of Atlantic avenue and Guion place, thence by Fulton and Hempstead Turnpike and Jericho turnpike, to the Nassau county line. There is an average of 7 ducts in each trench making a total of 10 miles of ducts. On Jackson avenue, Long Island City, miles of 8 ducts have been laid.

10 miles of duets, miles of 4 ducts on Main street, Flushing from Main street to Broadway station, 7 miles of ducts, and miles of 6 ducts in Fulton street, Astoria, from the river to Steinway avenue, 9 miles of ducts. In the great storm of 1900, when 300 miles of wires were down, and the high powered electric light wires and telephone and telegraph wires were mixed up in such inextricable confusion, so much loss was suffered and so much danger menaced, it was de- MISCELLANEOUS.
