WOMAN BLOCKS SUBWAY WORK. ‘Ocoupies a Little Triangle at Worth and Elm Streets as a Packing-Case Warehouse and Refuses to Move. LAND NEEDED FOR TUNNEL. But She Has a Lea to Notice » and) Repiles | ange. < Ue Ordereg-to move on a week's notice after having been a tenant for twenty- two years is the story of Mrs, E. J. Armstrong, who since 1882 has made a business of buying and selling packing cases at No. 117 Worth street. The re- moval of Mrs. Armstrong and her busi. ness is because the ground she oocu- ples, or a part of it, is needed for the mubway. For more than a year the subway engineers have reported upon the little trangular strip at Worth and Elm streets. The property belongs to Ford- ham Morris and the engineers decided an easement wes Li eatd aa tae rapid-transit station at that There were two obstacles ta es was of acquiring it, One was the owner, who refused to sell, and the other was the tenant, who refused to move. Shed Condemned, She Must Move. Yesterday the owner signed the stipu- lation providing for condemnation pro- ceedings and the fant epiewsn Q yearly one, was ordered t: few days, the little shed that has lt the’ office of the woman merchant in packing cases will ‘be torn down. She will have to seek other quarters, The Rapid Transit people are willing to al- low her an entrance to the cellar where phe stores her goods, but then she would have no office. The landlord, however, has decided that as, there will of neces- sity be alterations she had better move, and moye Mrs, Armstrong will have to. ‘Through the dry goods district, wher- ever the merchant recetves fresh, clean packing cases from the mills with few marks upon them, Mrs. Armstrong 1s known. Her business was built up by her husband, ‘They lived in Leonart street and the business of buying and selling packing cases was founded forty years ago. ‘4 In 1883 Armstrong died and the widow, @ handsome woman with fine soft eyes and delicate features, little used to busi- ness, decided she would continue the bust- ness. Sho had a family to raise, boys to educate, and believed there was room in the world for a woman with pluck. Merchants Her adn. ‘The office of the husband was about the size of one of the largest packing cases, elght feet long three feet wide and elgat feet high, It cogtained a desk built on the wall, a higi? stool, a little cannon stove, and then there was just room| enough to open and close the door.} Aolngside it ran a runway leading to the cellar, where the boxes purchased wero store until needed. Into this the new business woman of Worth street went. Porters and others who sold packing casea soon learned that she was a busi- ness woman; that she knew the value of a case; how to buy and how to sell. ‘The men who drove her trucks saw that she was a woman with a purpose and proposed to prosper. ‘The merchants be- gan to know her signature on checks, and only to the new comer was it any novelty to see this woman merchant Grepsed in black ordering truckmen about and haggling with porters about the prices she would pay or take. Will Keep Up Business, ‘Mrs, Armstrong still shows traces of the beauty she must have been in her younger days, mild mannered and soft Spoken, she discussed being disposseased to-dny: “Wor twenty-two years in this office.” . “and I was told only recent: that unless I wanted to I would have to get out, Mr..Morris told m: that, and tow thé agent sends me word I must leave.

It was not until he and the man whose victim he was had reached the Forty- seventh street police station that Richter fell in a faint to the floor. At Roosevelt Hospital, where hé was taken, the doctors sald to-day be had a small chance to live. John D. Trosé, a negro, sald he had been insulted in @ saloon at ‘Phirty- ninth street and Eighth avenue, He was followed to the bidewalk by several mon who jeered at him, and when on the wtreet he drew a revolver and fired four shots at the crowd which had gathered. One of the bullets entered Richter’s breast, just above the heart. At the time he felt only @ sting, and with others he stanted after the negro. ‘Tross ran up the street and took refug® in the wholesale grocery-of Dantel J. Quinlan, at Fortleth street and Eighth avenue, When Richter reached the store he was at the head of 300 men and ‘boys, all shouting for the negro. Before they could: find Tross among the boxes in the rear of the store Po- cemen McIver, Flynn and Martin had arrived and seized the fugttive. Richter and his companions attempted to take Tross away from the police and in the fight the interior of the store ‘was nearly wrecked. A riot call was sent in and the reserves from the West Forty-seventh street station came in time to keep the crowd, which had been locked out on the street, from breaking into the store. ‘When the crowd was dispersed, Tross, who had been pleading to be saved\from what he believed to be an imminent lynching, was taken to the station with Richter, who insisted that he was not seriously wounded. But while telling the police about the shootin, ne in the station he dropped to the floor, He was hurried to Roopevelt Hos pital, where it was said he was danger- ‘ously wounded.
