December 8 Although the absence of news from the Rosalind has caused considerable anxiety here, the agentB of the Red Cross Line state that they believe that she will be heard from to-day. They think that she suffered some damage In the gales of last week, and that her wireless apparatus has been disabled. Her cargo was bo light, they say, that the steamer was liable to toss about badlyin a storm.

Nearly all of the passengers on board the steamer are Newfoundland people. Harold Anderson was the only passenger who boarded the steamer here. Among those Balling from New York were a Mr. Job, of a well-known St. John's firm of merchants, and a Mrs.

Harvey, the wife of a prominent business man of St; John's. The Rosalind, which has been successively known as the Admiral and the To-sarl, was built at Newcastle in 1S90. She has a net tonnage of 1634, is 300.4 feet long, 41.1 feet beam and 21.6 feet depth of bold. She 1b commanded by Captain Smith and has been plying between New York. Halifax and St.

Johns for several years. The Red Cross Line's headquarters In this city stated to-day that the last the had heard of the Rosalind was when the St. John's office reported that the steamship had passed Cape Race, N. on Friday on its way from Halifax to St. John's.

From this report the officials here hoped that tho Rosalind was safe and was being detained from making a landing at St. John's because of the heavy weather and dense which have prevailed In that vicinity for several days. It is not known here how- many passengers the Rosalind carried out of Halifax but her passenger liflt on arriving at this port has been usually large. The Maritime Exchange had received no, news of the missing steamship Rosalind to-day and fears were entertained for the safety of the. vessel.

Another vessel over which the Maritime Exchange is perturbed Is the British freighter Strathclyde, Captain Crevar, which Bailed on October 30. from Barry for Hampton roads, and which has not been reported. She was In ballast and had a crew of thirty-five men. The vessel was due on November 19, the school. But by that time four of KILLED BY TRAIN.

December 6 Charles Lewis Dow, a brother of Clarence Dow, the station agent at Hicksville, met his death here Saturday evening in an attempt to jump on a through train. He was in Hicksville visiting his brother, and, not wishing to wait for a regular train to take him to his home at Pine-lawn, where ho Is employed as a gardener at the Pinelawn cemetery, he thought he would try to get aboard through train No, 637, as It seemed to be slowing down considerably. He endeavored to catch the tailing, but missed it and was thrown under the wheels, between the baggage car and the smoker.

The train was stopped Immediately, but when the trainmen and spectators reached the man he was dead. His lert leg was cut off and the body was mutilated In a frightful manner. Dow was 34 years of age and was married. to do his duty, he was permitted to go. But he went to where The men In charge of the home fell that they have something to be grateful for, notwithstanding the attempt at a wholesale delivery of the boys in the home, and that is the consideration which the alleged conspirators showed for the other boys in creating the excitement at an hour when tho boys were all in the lower part of the building.

If they had chosen an hour after bedtime to start a blaze, if indeed, yesterday's blaze was Incendiary, the results would undoubtedly have been disastrous and entailed great loss of Buijding Condemned as Fire Trap. Not long ago an official Inspection of the main building resulted in a Veport that the structure was a fire trap and that unless'tmprovements looking towards the better protection of life were installed, the buildings would have to be vacated. Official suggestions were made recently that the institution should be abolished altogether Superintendent Haigney of the school asked the Parkville police last night to send out an alarm for the four boys whose names are John Mahlen, Victor Olsen, Mathew Fields and Ernest Schoon-maker, each 13 years old. The washroom was damaged lconslderably and ex remained. In the meantime, an iuuict-.

meni was found against him by ths Queens County grand Jury under the netf, statute relating to men who fall to sup double loop system. Strong efforts will be made to Induce tho Interborough to withdraw from the position it. has taken in regard to this matter, with what success remains, of course, to be seen. An attempt will also be made, it was learned to-dny, to Induce the Interborough, should it finally decide to construct the Cranberry street tunnel, to enlarge are area of its loop. According to the present plan, this lower loop wuld begin at the new Municipal Building, in Manhattan; extend south under North William and Williams street to Maiden Lane; across the river to Cranberry street by tunnel: continue east to Flat-bush avenue under Fulton street, and return to the starting point via the Flat-bush avenue extension, the Manhattan Bridge and the lower section of the Center street tunnel.

Somehow ths detectives learned tnat In the Queens County Surrogate's Court there have just been filed papers In an accounting of the estate of Enoch Harris, who up until last June was a prosperous real estate operator in Long Island City.

On the 13th of that month his dead body was found In his apartments on Twelfth street, Long Island City. A gas Jet was turned on in the room, and Harris had died from asphyxiation. It was given out that death had been caused by accident. The young man was about to be married to a young woman of wealth and social prominence of Astoria. His body waB found the day following a dinner which he had attended in company with his" intended bride.

The papers In the accounting were filed by Attorney John T. Robinson of Elm-hurst, and he has In his possession two letters which throw some light on the probable cause of Harris' death. They were written within a month after his death. The first letter was signed by Ruth Hulse, 33 Pearle street, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It ie as follows: "I write concerning Enoch I ain the young lady be wa's engaged to bs married to.

I believe you have all his belongings In your care. I have written to his brother, but I should be 'glad to know If you could grant me anything for the maintenance of his child, which is only 6 years old. He has always kept it up to the time of his death. We were about to be married. I suppose you have found no will.

I know It would be his wiah for ub. but I would be glad if you could do anything for me." The second letter is signed by Samuel H. Peorre, 232 Buxton, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England, and reads as follows: "On behalf of Enoch Harris' estate, I wish to make claim for my sister-in-law, Miss Ruth Hulse, and for her child.

L. December 6 The fire department of this village and Its promoters are coming to the front with demands for next year in the way of new apparatus, etc. A new truck for Excelsior Hook and Ladder Company, to cost several thousand dollars, Is one of the movements under way, and a new Are alarm system to cost between $5,000 and $7,000 is another. The department is an efficient one and at present turns out to fires in response to alarms from a whistle at the village power house and bells at the different fire houses. The whistle can be heard for a long distance, but sometimes during the day or night delays occur between reporting the Are and blowing of the whistle, it has been claimed.

The village has less than a dozen fires a year, and these have mainly been of small caliber. The village is under quite a stiff taxation at present, and it has been proposed to Issue bonds for the alarm system instead of raising the sum wanted by an Immediate tax levy.

The action ot the Bankers Land and Mortgage Corporation in turning over to the East Elmhurst Taxpayers Association the deeds for the park at that place, which consists of 12 twenty-foot lots on the shore front, valued at $35,000, has caused some trouble among the property owners, which may lead -to a long legal fight. A large number of.

the taxpayers of East Elmhurst, who are not members of the association, believe that they have not been justly treated in the transaction and are making arrangements for a meeting to be held the latter part of the week at which they will decide Just what action they will take. When East Elmhurst was laid out Into city lots years ago the Bankers Land and Mortgage Corporation set aside twelve water front lots, which have a frontage of 240 feet on Flushing Bay to belong to each lot owner of that place.

A north-bound Fifth avenue trolley car dropped its rear fender and continued on without the car crew knowing that the fender was missing. It dropped squarely between the east trolley tracks. Before the next car came, a large black touring car whizzed along the slight down grade on Fifth avenue. The street Is paved with cobblestones and the chauffeur was careful to keep his machine on the car tracks. The automobile must have been exceeding the speed limit, according to witnesses.

The driver did not see the fender until it was too late to swerve aside. The contact with the fender sent the machine skidding out over the cobble-Btones. It struck tho east sidewalk with a jolt that sent the occupants of the car into a heap. The curbing didn't stop the maohetne, which -went on over the sidewalk, just missed crashing Into a florist's Bhop. and then took the road again as the driver onc-e more gained control of his car.

He sent the machine on down hill without stopping. Defines American Woman's Attitude Toward Home Life and Says Love Is Great Aid to All.
