MRs CUNNINGHAM BuRDELL AND THE
New York REroRTERs-The New York
Evening Post has published, of late. a series
OF articles on Matrimonial Brokerage" in
which Mrs Cunningham was made TO play
conspicuous part. The writer was Mr.. AL
fred c. Hills the city reporter Of the POST
who was assisted by Nh. A. j. Marsh, also of
the Post, but formerly of this city. Mr. Hills
went to the house of broker in matrimony,
and bad interviews with Mrs Cunningham
He found that she was most unprinciplod
woman-ready to do anything-to go south
to spend the winter, or to engage in any neia-
rious plot. During one of his interviews he
thought he was in danger Of being robbed.
He found himself locked into the house with
her, while she forbade him to leave, and when
he attempted to rise forced him back into his
chair with a nerve and strength quite superior
to his own powers lie got off finally by pay
ing her IS and promising to come and finish
his business another day.
Mr.. Hills says that these houses of matri-
monial brokerage are nothing but designation
houses or worse than that. Mrs Cunning
ham has published a note denying these state
ments, but Mossrs. Hills and Marsh have re-
spondod by publishing afIidavits vouching
that their assertions are true. These invests
cations are soon to be published in book form.

An incident Of thrilling aud almost
terrible interest, combining in itself all
the pslpitating chances OF hair breadth

lures Of that weired semblance OF life,
somnambulism, occurred On the MI hit
before Inst. The scene Of this unusual
episode was on Catherine street, ut the
resideuce Of Mr.. Israel Moreton, and FROM
whose Inns We received the statement Of
particulars.
At about n clock 10 the morning he
wns awakened by knocking at the front
door Of his residence, and, upon answer
ing the CALL found man on the steps,
who, in very incoherent and excited
manner, requested him to walk across
the street aud look At the top Of his
house. The proposition was SO strange
that he declined, and stood irrcsolute for
few moments. and was about retiring
again, suspicious Of foul play, when his
owe caught moving shadow on the from,
Of the opposite house, cast BY tho moon,
which was shining dimly through the
Aeeoy clouds Of gathering equinoctia
storm. It indicated that some moving
living thing was walking niselessly along
tho narrow ridge Of his roef, aod, Is h
looked It it, slow, creeping motion, Al
irde6nablo chill crept over him. Tn
