day or two, owing to the sudden and mysterious
death Of Miss Sophia Smith, young girl re-
specially connected. Many deemed il another FL
len Jewett affair." though the coroners jury brought
in verdict of neutrality-suspicious.. She was found
in the atic-room of clearinghouse, in one of our
most fashionable streets, Invested Of all clothing
lying upon the floor, with band of cotton some
FIVE feet in length crammed into her mouth, about
the same length wound round her neck, and hei
face tied up with handkerchief, passing under hei
chin, and tied at the top Of her head. She was al.
80 stabbed with a penknife seven or eight times
in the abdomen, and retained the knife in her hand
when found. II appeared so utterly impossi-
BILE for her TO have committed the act herself
that second inquest has been held; the police were
active in procuring facts and evidence, but moth
ing elected, and the second jury came to
the same conclusion as the first.
Another horrible discovery was made last night.
A female physician named Costello, alias Maxwell,
was charged with having procured an abortion upon
young female, and causing her death--the body
sold and shipped away; also, for performing the
same operation upon another young girl some six
years Of age who, though she lived evident
ly but a short time for this world. She has not
only exposed this female monster and her husband,
but the viler and more hated being her seducer who
employed the wretch Costello to perform this opera
ton. The whole three arrested, to meet, trust,
their just deserts.
Our city never was more crowded with strangers,
mostly merchants laying in their fall supply Of mer-
chandise Our fashionable streets are thronged,
while the business ones are piled mountain-high
with boxes and bales of merchandise waiting ship
n,ent to some distant State Our fashonabcs, being
fond of novelty, are ever striving for something

our monster steamers, during these warm evenings,
put of some Of the neighboring islands, raise
immense tent and there strip il on the light fantas-
tic toe" until the small hours bid them repair to
their water-crah and, while enjoying an excellent
supper, they are skimmng over the seas. But their
supper and their sail come TO an end about the
same timc when they land and seek each his or her
own quiet home. The last place selected for these
nocturnal parties is Coney island, place not alto
gethcr unknown even TO some Of our southern
friends
The 10Th and 18th wards had an immense gather

strong and effective resolutions were passed highly
approving the course of the administration towards
Texas, and Of the language Of the President in ref

commencement of popular movements.

Wv ''1here is no such thing fair in the history
Of this wonderful BALSAM. Evidence the most con
vincing-evidence that no doubt-fully estab-
fishes this fact For the sake of bcvity we selectte

Isaac Platt, Esq, Editor of the Po'keepsie Eagle
one of the most influential papers in the state of New
York, states under the authority of his own name that
ayoung lady, relative his, of very delicate consti.
tuition, was attacked in February, 1892 with severe
cold, which Immediately produced splitting of blood
cough, fever and ether dangerous and alarming symp-
toms. Through medical treatment and care She par
TALLY recovered during summer. But on the return of
winter she was attacked more violently than at first
she became scarcely able to walk, and was troubled
with cough chils and fever every day and appeared
to be going rapidly with consumption; at this time,
when there was no sign of improvement, Mr.. Plat
procured bottle of WlSTAR'S BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY, which she took, aud ii seemingly restored
her. She got sccond and before it was half taken
she was restored to perfect health, which she has Ell
joyed TO the present time, without the slightest symp
toms of her former disease.
