H. Woods' Damage Suit County Clerk Wende was notified this morning that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, sitting at Rochester, has handed down a decision reversing the verdict and ordering a new trial of the action in which William H. Woods recovered a verdict of 11558.04 against the Buffalo Railway Company for Injuries he claimed to have suffered by be-v Ing thrown off an Elk street car by a conductor.

i The attorneys for the railway company appealed from the verdict, after being denied a new trial' here, and this decision is quite a victory for them. The case will be tried out again in January or Februrary. "Hesshoutis like that every night." "Nice fallow to have in the house." said Mr. Stautler, rather nervously. "Do you suppose he'll stay in his.

room?" "Of course, he will. He" But the shouter didn't do any such thing. He appeared at the door opening from the front hall Into the parlor and announced his presence by throwing his shoes and coat at Miss Miller's caller. Then he rushed at Miss Miller and loudly announced his Intention of killing her. Soldiers' Votes, Now Being Distributed, Are Closely Guarded.

County Clerk Wende Making Plans to Get the Results in Early Tomorrow. County Clerk Wende and a staff of clerks were hustling at an early hour this morning making final preparations for the delivery of the soldiers' ballots to inspectors of the various election districts of the city and county in which the soldier vote ls to be counted tomorrow. At 10 o'clock the first package was turned over to Deputy Sheriff Sommers of Lancaster for that town, and from that hour until 8 o'clock tomorrow morning the packages will go out, until every dis- ls supplied. There are 121 districts in the city which have soldier votes. Mr.

Wende has made a rule that the chairman of the board of Inspectors In each district should come to his office for the ballots. When they are delivered to him, they are securely sealed In a big envelope with 10-gold seals, and the chairman ls required to give Mr. Wende a receipt for them. From the time he receives them until they are counted tomorrow he is responsible under the law for their protection. Tn the M.a nf Itio K.n-n unto It to nnt Train Which Killed Eight Men Hidden in Smoke and Steam, Men Hurled Into the Air Before Theu Were Conscious of Th eir Danger.

ENGINEER SMITH'S STORY. Says He Blew His Whistle Loudly, Rut Did Not Know the Men Were There Till He Saw a Body in the At. The Coroner's Inquest to determine the tacts concerning tne Kilting ot eignt men on -the near-Loonov- vllle, last Tuesday, began before Coroner Kenney at 9:30 this morning. Charles Tesls of Looneyvllle, a section foreman, was first sworn. He described the lnt-ation of the gangs of men at work there that morning.

A freight train vvns going west on track No. 4, when passen- ger train No. 37 came from the east on track No. 2. The unfortunate men were at work shoveling the snow on track No.

2 when the train struck them. The smoke and cinders from the two freight trains that I had just passed obscured the view of the I men, and before they had any knowl- edge of the approaching train it had struck them. He said a number of these men had been hired that morning they were new men and were warned when they went to work to look out for passing trains. Flags were never put out except when the track was being repaired. "If It had been a clear day," asked Coroner Kenney, "could the men have seen the approaching train?" "No." answered Tests "the smoke from the freights was so thick they could not see It." The engineer and fireman, he said," could not see the men at work until they were close on to them.

Mr. Tests said that the freight train was passing at the same time the express train came up. The son of Foreman John Warner, who was killed, was there, as but at the time of the accident he was quite a distance Two of the men were thrown under the passing freight when they were struck by the passenger train. The freight trains, he said, were not running on any schedule time, and the passenger train was about 10 minutes late. Attorney Clarence M.

Bushncll was present In the Interest of the families of several of the victims. He asked if there were any printed rules or precautions for the protection of workmen In such cases? "No," said Mr. Tates, "I never heard of any. Each foreman is supposed to take care of his gang." "How far could the men see through the steam snd smoke after the freights had passed?" asked Mr. Bushncll.

"Not 10 feet." was the reply. "I want that to appear In the minutes," observed Mr. Bushnell. Younir tVarner's Siory. Harry J.

Commissioners Report on the Chicago Street Viaduct Damages. Nathaniel W. Norton, Hiram Exstein and Charles M.

King, the appraisers appointed to fix the consequential damages caused by the grade crossings improvements at Chicago street, made a report to Justice Hooker In -the Special Term this forenoon. Spencer Clinton, attorney for the Grade Crossings Commissioners, asked that the report be confirmed, and the order was granted. The commissioners find that the Howard Iron Works on Chicago street, which property is owned bv Marin Teniae iioward. Peter P. Burtlss, Gibson How ard and George Gorham.

TO TEST THE i nioim I rlMllI II Lil I I I 1 1 li i Newcomb Carlton Selected to Make the Expert Examination for the City.

The Board of Public Works this morning voted to give tp Mr. Newcomb Cerl- ton of this city, the well-known expert mechanical engineer, the contract for ihhk nv nn omem ipm ni mpiflpw engine and boilers, built by the Lake VrlA Engineering Pomnanv the DUICKLY Erie Engineering Company and the I It Refuses to Discuss Statement That He Is to Succeed A'dridge, He Is Not a Stalking Horse For Anybody in the Matter of Superintendency fsrEClAL TO THE ItYEXINe KEWS.l ALBANY, N. Dec. 19. While there is no certainty yet as to who will be the next Superintendent of Public Works, it can confidently be asserted that Comptroller Roberts has not been acting as a stalking-horse for anybody, no matter i.in hnn str may be the intimations in certaijn sources to the contrary.

It also can be relied on as a fact that Gov. Ro.s.-veIt would gladly see Mr. Rot- erts at the head of this highly Important 'department, on "wfilcn so much" depends that will affect the record of his own administration and the future of the canals of the State. Mr. Roberts' friends make no secret of the fact that he has been urged to take the place made vacant by LSflpt.

Aldridge's voluntary suspension. but at the present time there is positively no assurance that Gov. Roosevelt will succeed in winning the Comptroller to his way of thinking about the duties which busy citizens owe the Commonwealth. When the NEWS correspondent asked Mr. Roberts about the situation this morning he said: "I cannot discuss any of these stories about myself, but as I understand the situation the matter of selecting a new Superintendent of Public Works Is still in the air." It has been generally understood of late that neither Mr.

Hendricks nor Gen. Greene Is eligible to this office because of their connection with the contract work of the canal. It also is pretty well understood that nobody can be confirmed by the Senate for the position unless acceptable to the party leaders, and there Is considerable reason to fear that so many differences of opinion may arise and so many Interests become Involved that the selection of a successor to Supt. Aldridge may be one of the most difficult problems to be solved by the new administration. In the meantime it seems likely that the special deputy Attorney General appointed at this late day to carry out the prosecution, recommended by the CotKS-tryman report, will not be able to get before the gragd jury before the session of the Legislature Is well advanced.

Mr. Shove Is reputed to be an enwgetlc at- -torney, but there Is a prospect that other cases will Intervene, and he may have to ait much longer than is expected or go into another county. W.

UaON BolM gsMf cW f- Coaaeetleot aw W'dr'EM SKVa-RAL lea, Tw; Wa 'STILL II TIE 1, TRUNK FULL OF Police Unearth About $700 in Spi curious Coin After Hard Work. Most of the Stuff is in Half Dollars and is Very Well Made, THREE MEN IN CUSTODY. Police and Federal Officials Are Searching For Another Man Be- lieved to 8e Implicated in the Crime. Capt. Ryan and Precinct-Detective Wellington of the Seneca Street Station and United States Deputy Marshal W.H.

Watts and Detective T. S. Watts unearthed a counterfeiting outfit and about $700 In spurious coin in a tenement house at 31 Scott street last night. As soon as Frank Farrelland Pasquall Antonatch, the alleged counterfeiter, arrested on Saturday night, were safely behind the bars, the officers Btarted out to locate the headquarters of the prison-ers. After hours of diligent work they learned that Ferrell arrived from Cleveland on Dec.

7. bringing with him a trunk. This trunk, the officers, learned, was carried first to the Triangle Saloon back of the Police Headquarters and from there to the Scott street tenement house where It was found last night In rooms occupied by Joseph Marone and family. Marone told the officers the trunk was brought to his roomB yesterday, but professed not to know who owned it. Hidden beneath layers of paper and soiled clothing Capt.

Ryan and the other officers found crucibles for-making all denominations of silver coins, small pieces of copper and zinc and packages of spurious dimes, quarters, halves and dollars. Some of the coins were still unfinished. MARONE UNDER ARREST. Marone was taken' to the Btatlon and Policemen Dillon and Fick of the Seneca Street Station were placed In charge of his rooms, and the women of his household, who are detained as witnesses. Further Investigation convinced Capt, Ryan and the officers working with him that some of the money found In Ma-rone's rooms was made at 41 Commercial street.

In describing the finding of the coun terfeit money and layout, Capt. Ryan said this morning: "After working on the case a few hours we learned that the trunk in which the Tioney was found was brought to Buffalo from Cleveland. It reached here on the night of Dec. 7 and was kept until Dec. 11 at the Triangle saloon, just back-of the Police Headquarters.

On that day 1t was removed to the building at 41 Commercial street, the headquarters of the gang. Yesterday It was taken to the Scott street tenement, where we found It last night. THEY SAW THE TRUNK. "While hunting around for a clew we learned that Tomasso Vincenno, an Italian, living in the rear of 28 Commercial street, knew something about the counterfeiters. We heard he had told other Italians he had seen a man and a boy carrying a trunk on Commercial street, he.

believed was the one wewere searching for. "We also understood that Tomasso had been with the trunk hearers during part of their Journey. We went to his room and found him asleep In bed. He had turned In drunk and was ugly and ready for any kind of a fight when we yanked him from his bunk. He made a crack at me, and jabbered that he would kill everyone of us, but we soon took the fight out of him.

and gave him to understand we wanted to know where that trunk had been taken. "He changed his tactics then, and began to whine that he knew nothing about it. We obliged him to go along, and he led us to Scott Etreet, but professed not to know at what house In that street the trunk had been left. No threats could make him tell us, so there was nothing to do but search every Italian joint on the In the second place we went through we found the money. Maroner the Italian In whose rooms it was found, was taken to the station." "Further Investigation led us to be lieve that the headquarters of the gang was in Commercial street, and our surmises proved to be correct: At 2 o'clock dies, crucibles, acids, in a deserted tenement at 41, on that street.

"I broke the door bpen with an ax. i The stuff was there all right, but the counterfeiters were out. "The mysterious Italian who we believed was associated with Ferrell and Antonatch is still at liberty. He Is the man who, with the assistance of a boy, carried the trunk about." TWO ARRAIGNED AND HELD. Ferrell and Antonatch were arraigned at noon today before United States Commissioner Jewett at the office of Deputy Marshal Watts.

After some difficulty they were made to understand the questions put to them and were stopped In their attempt to make long explanations and protestations in their native tongue. Both pleaded not guilty and waived examination. They were held to await the action of the United States grand jury. Bail was fixed at $2000 In each case. Marone was arraigned later.

He pleaded not guilty and was given an examination. TYRER LODGE'S ELECTION. At the annual election of Tyrer Lodge No. 43, F. ft A.

Rev. Dr. Thomas MrKee-Rrown, rector of the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, died at his home, 144 West Forty-seventh street, this morning. He was stricken with pneumonia three days One week ago yesterday Father Brown preached his anniversary sermon In celebration of his 28th year with the church, fin the same Sunday, fuur years ago.

he had laid the foundation stone of the new St. Mary the Virgin, West Forty-sixth street. To Father Brown the new church wag the triumph of his efforts to Implant ritualism In the service of the Protestant Church of America. He was severely criticised and even the bishops of the dioepse were opposed to the church. Bishop Potter went so far as to refuse to confirm the classes presented to him by the ritualistic branch of the Episcopal Church.

Father Brown was undaunted. He In- troduced orchestral music and advocated the elevation of the host. He introduced'! the surnllced choir and altar candid and Installed a confessional. His congre- gation he taught to cross themselves and Kne-M wncn passing tne anar. His most severe critics went so far as to say that Father Brown had.

pw over to Home. But he finally won. And whfn the new church was opened Bishop Pot trr was present to dedicate It. MANY LETTERS OF APPROVAL. Pan-American Project Receiving Encouragement From All Sides.

One of the reasons which the ffiends of the Pan-American Exposition have for feeling encouraged to go ahead with their workpls the large number of letters of approval which are constantly being received. Among the most notable of the messages Is a letter from Daniel O'Day of New York City, which was received by Mayor Diehl yesterday. It Is as follows: NEW YORK, Dec. IB. 1898.

-Hon. Conrad Diehl, Mayor of Buffalo: Dear Mr. Mayor I write to congratulate you on the broad and liberal ground which you have taken with reference to the promotion of the -Pan-American enterprise. That it Is capable of being made a great success I never have had any doubt whatever, and what little doubt I may have had In the past was entirely removed when you, as the chief executive of the city of Buffalo, took hold of It. I am very sure that nothing could be done that would result In the promotion of the business Interests of the people of Buffalo and in securing labor for those needing it better than the Pan-American scheme.

While I am not a citizen of Buffalo; yet I take a great Interest In its affairs and feel like congratulating the city and everyone Interested in having a Mayor who shows as much enterprise as you do. With best wishes, dear sir, believe me, very truly yours, DANIEL O'DAY.

Miller, a fellow-employe, 1320 Lovejoy street, was arrested last evening for Insanity by Policeman Klrchmeyer of the Broadway Station, after a series of exciting experiences. Foux came to Buffalo recently from Nantlcook, found employment in the railroad shops, and was taken to Miller's house to board. He proved himself a bright, industrious boy, steady and correct In habits, and soon won for himself a place aa a member of the family. Three weeks ago he developed the peculiar habit of shouting aloud In his sleep. It was thought at first that he was suffering with what is commonly known as the but he continued to shout night after night, to the alarm of the Miller household and to the consternation of the entire neighborhood.

When aroused each time he professed absolute ignorance -of having cried aloud in his sleep, but when allowed go to sleep again he would resume his shouting, crying: "Stop him," "There he Is now," etc. POLITELY SAID, "GOOD NIGHT." Last night he retired about 9 o'clock, after saying good-night to Miss Cora Miller and Charles Stautter of Smith street, a young man who was calling upon her. A half an hour later Mr. Staufler and the young woman were alarmed by unearthly shouts emanating from the room occupied by Foux, "That must be Levi," said the girl. Boy Who Turned ih False Alarms Lectured land Fined $59.50.

Frank Lichfeldt, the 11-year-old boy who was caught pulling fire alarm box No. 713 on Ganson street Saturday, without any provocation, was severely dealt with In Judge Hinson's section of the Municipal Court this morning. The Judge gave him a lecture which nearly took him off his feet and fined him and $9.50 costs. Capt. Lynch of the Louisiana Street Police Station, ho arrested the young mischief maker, appeared against him this morning.

After the captain had told his story, the boy, with tears In his eyes, pleaded guilty to the charge against Then Judge Hinson scored htm: "If I had the power, 1 would send you to the Penitentiary," said the Judge. "You need reforming badly. Any boy who goes about the streets pulling fire alarm boxes should be locked up where he will have a chance to meditate. But I can only fine you, so I am going to make that fine high enough to teach, you a lesson." The boy pleaded that he just wanted to see the fire engines come out. and asked the Judge to be lenient with him.

The Judge wuld not relent and made the fine The boy did not have money to pay the fine, so the Judge directed that Judgment be entered against- him for that if he does not pay It by the time he is 16 years pld, a body execution will be Issued against him. WILL VISIT JVTKINLEY. Others Start For Washington This Afternoon. The party to present the names of Dr. Dorr for appointment as Postmaster and Simon Selbert for Appraiser will, leave Buffalo for Washington at 5 P.

today, going over the Pennsylvania road. It is expected that the party will consist of Dr. Dorr, Mr. Selbert, John R. Harel, Chalrman.il.

Kreinheder and John Grimm, of the executive committee. Washington will be reached tomorrow morning. On Wednesday morning the Buffalo part will meet Senator Piatt and Congressman Alexander, and together they will call on President McKinley. Messrs. Dorr.and take with them their indorsements in book form, and these will be presented to the President, together with the recommendations of Mr.

Hazel on behalf of the Erie county organization, and, It is supposed, the recommendation of Senator Piatt on behalf of the State organization. Mr. Hazel this morning received a telephone message from James A. Roberts, stating that he was so busy in the Holler's office that he could not well go to Washington, as had been planned. He said, however, that if it was found that his presence was needed In Washington, he would come in response to a summons by telegraph.

As Congress will, it Is likely, adjourn on Wednesday for the Christmas recess, it Is not very probable that any nominations of Buffalo men will be sent to the Senate until early next year. Just what opposition the advocates of the appointment of Dr Dorr and Senator Selbert will meet when they reach Washington they are unable to estimate just now. It is stated on good authority however, that a prominent Buffalo Republican will be found at the Capital at the same time that Hazel and Kreinheder are there, and from the position he has taken during the past few months It may be easily surmised that his mission Ib to oppose at least one of the men indorsed by the Republican organization.

She ran screaming from the room, and Foux turned his attention to Staufler, with whom he grappled and struggled about the room. Leaving him in one corner, Foux overturned the table and chairs In the parlor, scattered the dining-room furniture about and went into the kitchen, where he tossed pans and dishes around the room, making a great racket and shouting meanwhile at the ton nf hla Vulr-o -Foux then --bulied-out house vaulted a high board fence in the rear, half clad as he was, raced along the railroad tracks and through the fields waving his arm above his head. Staufler ran after him and after much persuasion induced him to enter a house in the neighborhood, where Patrolman Klrchmeyer found him when summoned a half hour later. When the officer took Foux' away, the prisoner's eyes were blazing wildly and he was shaking and trembling. Mrs.

Miller thinks his alleged mental derangement is due to his worrying over, love affairs. He was engaged to marry some girl at Nantlcook and she says the engagement was broken. COUNTY OFFICIALS IT, Sheriff of Lockport Knows Nothmg of Arrest of John Lammerts. fsrEriAI TO THE EVENING NEWS.l NIAGARA FALLS, N. Dec.

19 It ls not generally believed that County Treasurer Lammerts Is technically under arrest. He Is under surveillance, and this fact Is admitted by his friends. Col. John Byrne of Buffalo came to Niagara Falls early yesterday afternoon. He registered at the Prospect House, where he said he expected to eat supper.

As far as any arrest is It is not believed that It has been done. Mr. Lammerts was seen on the streets this morning. He has not been taken to Lockport as yet. He still denies his arrest, and his.

friends deny It also. His bondsmen on his first term also say that Mr. Lammerts is not arrested.

Deputy Sheriff Rarger of Lockport was In town this morning.

He was here on other business, and declared' he had nothing to do with the Lammerts case. What action has been taken was taken by the Trust Company, and those who profess to know here say that no arrest has as yet been made. M. Lcx.kbort Denies It. LOCKPORT, Dec.
