Miss stieu has been in the habit of picking
up little things in the shOp-lifting way for
some years, and it is only recently that she
changed her mode of operations. Officer
Fender took the young lady in custody,
when she instantly resorted to tears and
shed the same profusely. But inding that
her tears availed nothing she hit upon an
expedient that came very near proving
successful. She pretended that her skirts
were coming down aud begged to retire
into an alley. The officer consented, but
upon casting his eye in tho direction Of his
charge found her running away. Sho was
soon overhnuled and after walking short
distance slyly lOosened her skirts, and then
with show ofreasOn aud PrOPriety asked
the privilege Of stepping into some out Of
the way place. Again the privilege was
granted and again she attempted to escape
with no greater success than before. She
was finally conducted before Esquire Me-
Cornell and committed to jail.

WAsHIsGToS, Dec. l9.-The Secretary Of
the Treasury in answer to resolution of
the House has sent a communication to the
SPeakeF,in which he states that the requI-
sitiOus Of the Secretary of War for money
for the payment of troops has always been
promptly met at the treasury when any alb
solute want of means did not prevent. lie
says since the first of July last, the sum of
$66,554, 2Sl has been paid on such requi-
sitiOns as follows:
Bounties on enlistments $1,000, 900; re-
cruiting, drilling and organizing troops
SIC, l73.360 IL, ordinary pay S4s. ssl $751;
49, the amount OF acquisitions OF this des-
cription now in the Treasury Department
is $2s, 100000. These unpaid acquisitions
are about equul to tue amount required for
pay during one hi monthly period. When
the resources Oftbe Treasury became mad
equate to the demaud upon il, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury Communicated the
fact to the SecretArys Of War and Navy
aud requested them TO designate tue par
ticular requisitiOn which they regarded as
most urgent, To the amount of about $780,
900 daily. To this extent acquisitions are
daily met from customs from internal rev
enue, from the proceeds OF conversions OF
temporary loans, and from issues of U. S.
notes. These resources though large are
as the Congress has already been informed
inadequate.

p9rTRIA1 OF O'ByaNg, THn l,,a,.,sr

R9rTRIAL OF 0'BvaxE, THH bIsAAIsr.-
Some of the Witnesses from this city who
have been attending the trial of John
O'Byrne, the alleged bigamis., returned
yesterday from Doddridge court. They re-
port that there is little hope for the accus.
ed though the jury had not returned YER
dict when the witnesses left. saE
Some of our readers doubtless recollect
the particulars of this case. o'Byrue Is an
Irishman. he carried on a marble estab-
Iishneut in this city for some two or three
years and lived with woman said to be
his wife. Some months ago, it is alleged
he sent the woman with whom he had been
living, away, land shortly Afterwards, while
on business tour up in Doddridge county
became acquainted with widow Maxwell,
whose husband had been dead for year
or SO and over whose grave the sympa-
thetic O'Byrne, proposed, for eopsidera-
ton, to place monument. Mrs. Maxwelps
wealth is counted by tens of thousands of
dollars. O'Byrne succeeded, while making
the dicker abOutthe tombstone, in winning
her heart, and without the knowledge or
consent of relations, married her and pass
ing through this city went to Pittsburg to
spend the honeymoon. While in Pittsburg
he run out of money and he wrote to his
Wife's brother to send him $500. The form
er Mrs. Maxwell's brother, Mr. Pritchard,
IN the meantime discovered that o'Byrne
had another wife living, aud perhaps two
OF them, SO instead ofsendiug the $500 he
left his quiet home in Doddridge and went
to Pittsburg himself Not knowing the
exact locality which had been select
ed by Mr.. o'Byrne and lady to hang out
during their sojouru, Mr.. Prisehard con-
suited with policeman. The policeman
stood watch at the postofice and when Mr.,
O'Byrne called at that establishment for
the $500 which he confidently expected,
the policeman knabbed him aud himself
and wife were taken back to Doddridgs.-
This week he has been undergoing trial
for bigamy. 1t is said that the facts have
been pretty clearly established against Mr.. |
OBJ, and that in all human probability he
will be sent to tho peuitsntiary. rs,tl

out, she touched at the Sandwich Islands TO take
III fresh water and provisions. They also laid in
a large stock Of frewood.
When the ship reached Canton a mandarin
came on board, and noticing their ~frewood, ask
ed the price Of it at once. The Captain laughed
at such a question, but signifed that he was
open 70 an offer. The mandarin offered $500 a
ton, and every part Of it sold 1T that price. That
was sandal wood.
For seventeen years Mr.. Astor enjoyed that
lucrative sandal wood without a rival. No
other concern in the United States or England
the shrewd Boston ship-owner detailed a ship to
follow one OF Mr.. Astor's and observe the events
OF the voyage. Then, for some time, that house
was a participant in this valuable trade.
1t was a curious fact that Mrs. Astor knew
more Of the value of furs than he did. She
would select a cargo for the Canton market, and
make no mistake.
When they became very afiuent, she used TO
make him pay her $500 an hour for using her
Judgment OF fur TO promote his commercial plans.
He paid her whatever she asked.

in 1916, Just after the war. His name was
George. He died in 1882.

left a widow but no children.
He was in the habit of selecting young girls,
adopting, educating, and starting them in life
when they married. | reeollect one of them,
Eliza Astor, married Mr.. Constant, the oil mer-
chant.
These facts concerning the renowned John

ing to the general reader than the dry stuff pub
lished in his - Life" and what is more, no man
would enjoy their publication more than Mr..
AstOr himself, were he now alive.

HOW HE GOT RICH

Rufss. King, the founder Of the King family of
this city, built the house and sold it to Mr.. Aston.
When Mr.. Aston started m this city he resided
as No. 40 Little Dock street, (now Water.) He
then moved to l49 Broadway. He kept his Office
Mt II Liberty street.
In 1902 he moved his residence tc JOB Broad
way, and there he lived as late as in 1896. when
be gave up that house to Nilsson William B.
His neighbors, who occupied houses facing up
on Broadway, where the Aston House now stands,
were all prominent men. 1 think the numbers
were 213 to 237. Mr.. Astor, as l have said,
lived at 223-north of him, on the corner of
Barclay, was 227. That house was owned and
sceupied by John G. Coster. IL was the last
property purchased by Mr.. Astor to give him all
the land required to build his contemplated hotel.
He had purchased all the other portions at very
ox psises. Not over $l5, OOO for a lot and

ever wanting money, or of being forced to sell.

Patriotic Resolutions.

The East Baltimore Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church passed the
following resolutions at its annual meeting,
which assembled on the 9Th inst:
Whersns, Since the annual session of this
body, fearful rebellion has broken out in
several OF the Southern States, threatening
to overthrow the best and most benign
Government the world ever saw: and
whereas, the Federal authority has been
compelled to use force of arms to suppress
said rebellion and to maintain its own
supremacy and whereas, patriotism is a
Christian virtue taught in the Word of God
and enjolned upon us in the twenty third
article OF religion: therefore,
Resoired, That, as a body of Christian
ministers in Conference assembled, we
hereby express our adherence of the rebel
being reasonable in its origin, sanguinary
in its progress, and as tending to retard the
progress Of civil liberty throughout the
world.
Resolred, That we hereby endore and
approve of the prcsemt wise and patriotic
administration of the Federal Government
in its efforts to overcome the armed resis-
lance Of the so-callcd Confederate States,
with the view Of maintaining the unity and
perpetuity Of the Government.
Resolred, That, in our patriotic efforts in
the past or the present to sustain the Gov.
eminent Of our country in her time of trial,
we are not justly liable to the charge OF
political teaching, and in the incubation of
loyal principles and sentiments we regard
the pulpit and press as legitimate instru-
mentalities.
Resoired, That a copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolutions be transmitted to
the President of the United States, signed
by the president and countersigned by the
secretary of the Conference.
