John W. Hildreth Wedded to Miss Agnes C. Ryding of Syracuse HELPED WRECK A TRAIN HILDRETH AND COMPANIONS EMULATED DARING DEEDS CF TRAIN ROBBERS AND WERE CENT TO PRISON. Publishers Press Home, N'. Y., Aug. It. A romance that was begun in the state prison at Dannemora, X .Y., had. its culmination at a small village seven miles north of here when John Watson Hildreth, of New York City, son of Lawyer J. II.

The fact that the wedding had taken place was niado public by the filing of the certificate of marriage here today. Emulated Train Robbers. Young Hildreth, with Theodore Hibbard, Herbert Plate and Fred IJristol. as a result of much reading of "yellow literature," in Xovember, llu):, decided that they would emulate the example of noted train robbers and hold up a train. They went down along the line of the Xew York Central and Hudson River railway one morning just before daybreak and planned to hold up the fast western mail train from the west. In order to stop the train they removed a rail from the track and when the train came along, drawn by one of the largest locomotives in the service, SNS, a companion to the famous !:! shown at the Chicago Exposition, and running 70 miles an hour .the entire train went into the ditch. Engineer Nathan Hagar of Albany and Robert Bond, a Syracuse inolder, who was stealing a ride, were instantly killed and a dozen mail clerks seriously hurt. The boys lied, but were later captured and all were convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to imprisonment for life, with the exception of Plato, who died in jail awaiting trial. Bristol later died in prison, but Hildreth and Hibbard were pardoned less than a year auo. llefoiv his arrest Hildreth had met Miss Ryding and there was an attachment between them whith was of the stalwart kind and during his incarceration a correspondence between them was kept up as regular as the prison regulations would permit.

MORE THAN MILLION AND HALF DOLLARS HAVE PASSED THROUGH HANDS OF TREASURER TENNIS DURING TERM. Henry L. Smith, expert, accountant j Mated yesterday that the auditing of ! the City Treasurer's books will be ! completed about the middle of this i week. j No discrepancies have been found I and Accountant Smith states that j from the "run" of the books so far he does not expect that any will be. ; The reco' ds are in the best of shape. i Owing to the fact that two svstems of bookkeeping have been used it takes a good deal f time to work the balances out. Good System in Vogue. It aimears that the tp-esent method of bookkeeping employed by the city is longer and move tedious than the old system. The present method calls for bill couchers and warrants, and when a bill is nresented it must have the "(). K." of the Board of Public Works, City Clerk and the Citv Controller, before it is paid. This system is very thorough. Mr. Smith is auditii: the hooks back from a period when the old system was used and he has to wo-k out the duplicate book system and the bill-voucher system at the same time. Councilman Honker said last night that it is remarkable the swift way in which Mr. Smith executes his work and that he had gotten farther than he expected him to at this time. East night the auditing was completed nn to IftOf) and tomorrow the work on this year's accounts will be begun.

DELAY IN CONDUIT WORK WILL BE STARTED AGAIN IN SHORT TIME, HOWEVER TWO EXCHANGE PLANS UNDER CONSIDERATION BY COMPANY. Tho report has started anew that the Pell telephone interests which control the Central Telephone company of this city, have negotiations on for the purchase of the Home Telephone Company's plant. It was even asserted to the Palladium yesterday that 'perhaps the sale had already been made," but when an investigation was begun, it was quickly developed that if any such thing was in the air, the- local men who are stockholders in the Hone Telephone company, know nothing of it. One of them said to the Palladium last night that he did not believe that any such attempt was being made by the Central Union for the reason that in other attempts they had failed and probably were aware that the Home company intends to continue business independent of the great corporation which is the veritable "grandmother" of the telephone world. The Home company is just at present balked in its work of laying conduits because of the delay in getting material and also because of the fact that it has not been decided definitely which of two routes for the conduits system will be taken. Another matter that has been under consideration for some weeks and which is not settled is relative to the equipment for the exchange. Though some of the board members favor the automatic system, it has not been fully determined to install a system of this character.

LIVES 70 YEARS ON FARM THE DEATH OF A PIONEER Daniel Shank, 95 Years of Age, Died Yesterday Afternoon Was a Resident of Wayne County for a Period of 88 Years.

The funeral will be held on Monday afternoon at the home at 3 o'clock. THE PROSPERITY OF THE COUNTRY Wall Street Conditions Denote That Business Outlook is Bright. THE CAUSES MADE KNOWN BOUNTIFUL CROPS THE SECRET OF THE NATION'S PROSPERITY JUST AT PRESENT WILL CONTINUE INDEFINITELY. Publishers' Press New York, Aug. 11. The Wall street attitude today at the close of the week once more brings into view the two sides of the market position, which have so often, during the past year .stood against each other in sharp contrast. On the one hand, everything relating to the general business outlook is in the highest degree favorable. After yesterday's report of ths gov ernment, there can be no doubt that(! the crops of wheat and corn will ex ceed all previous records and last week's official estimates on cotton showed that it is in excellent shape. With an extraordinary out turn assured, it is quite as certain that the high pnee at which staple products have been selling for the last fewdays would be retained. The reason for this lies in the reduced state of reserve supplies throughout the world and in the shortage of the principal foreign harvests. Looking ahead to what all this means for the general business prosperity of the country .there can scarcely be a question that it points to prosperity continuing on a scale equal if not greater than anything heretofore realized. I Couldn't Tell His Name. Officer Bundy picked up a happy drunk last night on Main street. The man was colored and was in such a condition when he arrived at the station he could not give his name.

THINK AMATEUR IS Opinion of the Police Relative to the Frequent Burglaries. ANOTHER CASE REPORTED EFFORT MADE ON TUESDAY NIGHT TO ENTER WESTCOTT HOME ON EAST MAIN STREET POLICE NOTIFIED. "I think that the man doing the small robberies around the city is an amateur. In many cases he has passed over table silver and money when might have been easily taken hud he made a thorough search." Such was the statement of Supt. Pailey of the police department when asked by the Palladium yesterday regarding the frequency of house burglaries in the city during the past month or so. According to the statement in one of the evening papers the police de partment did not ciedit truth to the printed reports in the Palladium Saturday of two burglaries that occurred during the week, yet it can be stated with great positiveness that the homes of Thomas Swanner and Ledger P. Winer were both entered and sums of money taken as stated. It is also a fact that an attempt was made to enter the house of .1. M. Westcott on East Main street on last Tuesday night. A member of the household was awakened by a noise and looking out of a window saw a man endeavoring to pry open a window. The intruder was frightened away, the police department notified, and officers were sent to the house. The frequency of burglaries in the city has had the effect to badly alarm people, particularly women and until the individual who is doing the work is apprehended there will not be a feeling of security in any quarter of the city. The police department is making an effort to put a stop to the work that is going on, but up to the present has met with ill success. The argument advanced that the beats of patrolmen are so large that, they cannot pronerly protect property, seems to be generally approved, though it would require the services of several new patrolmen to lessen the territory covered by the present force to any considerable degree.

FACTS BEING HELD BACK

ALL RUSSIAN NEWSPAPERS FOR. BIDDEN TO TELL THE TRUTH OF THE ATTEMPTED MURDER ON SATURDAY. PuMIshiM's' Prossl St. Petersburg, Aug. 12. The at temp; to kill the grand duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch. president of the na tional council of defense by the first battalion of the sharpshooters of the guard, at the review in the camp at Krasnoye Saturday is likely to have a widespread result on the internal mat ters in Russia. Although the news papers have been forbidden to prin any intimation of the occurrence the news is spreading rapidly throughout the empire and the consensus of opinion is that the attempt would have been successful were it not for tha fact that certain of those entrusted with the deed were too impatient and fired before it was possible to secure the exact range of the grand duke and the hated members of the general staff who were acting as an escort. The Czar Feels Danger. It is now reported that the Czar has directed that the mcst extraordinary precautions be taken from now on to prevent even an attempt on the life of any member of the Royal family or of the high official class. Member! of the secret police have been instruct ?d that from now on it is their duty to kill all persons who are believed tc be plotting assassination and these orders are .very likely to be literally obeyed. The result will be outrages that are likely to inflame all Russia. Conditions in Finland continue critical. By order of the governorgeneral, Captain Koch, leader of the red guard, has again been arrested, it being alleged that he is responsible for the recent mutiny at Helsingforo. Patriots Thrown in Prison. St. Petersburg. Aug. 12 All of the prisons in Finland are filling with patriots, whose only crime Is that they have declined to cheer for the Czar and the Russian government. There are ugly niutterings among tho populace .and it is freely reported that the Finnish revolutionary organization la planning a general attack upon all of the Russian prisons next week, at which time an attempt will be made to release all political offenders. At Sevastopol the situation remains quiet, but the troops and sailors in the garrison are simply held in check by tho vigilance of their officers. In the Caucasus fighting continues, but it is not of the intensity of the past few days and the officials hero state that the troops are gradually regaining control. Three officers who are declared to have been ringleaders In tho Sveaborg mutiny, have been found guilty of mutiny and sentenced to be shot. HAD DELIGHTFUL TRIP. Rev. and Mrs. J. O.
