THE WICKEDEST MAN.
How He Takes the Death orhis wit,

Mrs. Mary Allen, wife of John Allen, known
1.-The Wickedest Man in New York." died of
dropsy, at her home in Roosevelt street, on
Saturday last. Her health had been declining
for some time, owing to her habits of dissipa-
ton. The property where her family resided is
valued at about $50 600, and is the fruit of Johns
nineteen years of labor in the dance-house busi-
ness in Water street. The funeral took place at
the residence yesterday at ~ p. NJ A goodly
number of people were present, for most of Mrs.
Aliens old dance-house friends had come to take
the last farewell of their old companion. Only
five or six men were to he seen; all the rest were
girls and women. Three Catholic priests
had been in attendance up to the
time of her DEATH The Rev. j. G
Arnold, formerly Superintendent of the
Howard Mission, and an old friend of the Allen
family, was present. large proportion of the
mourners did not appear to manifest much grief
for the loss of an old friend. Some of the men
and women swore strange oaths while others
talked and laughed as they had done so often
on other occasions The Wickedest Man took
things coolly and just before the corpse was re-
moved he went out and got drink. Many of
the women walked up to the coffin, gazed q
moment, then bent over and kissed the face of
the dead three times. Little Chester, a boy of
about eight years, seemed deeply affected and
he could scarcely believe that he was never to
see his mother again in this life The husband
kissed his dead wife for the last time, and then
said, "There is the best friend l ever had, and
that is all can do for her." As the coffin was
being taken down stairs he remarked, ''She is
going to the grave feet first" The burial took
place at Calvary Cemetery.-N T. Tribune of

SPIRITED AWAY.
An Injured Husband Values his Wife at
$4,000.

Lawyers do not often appear in court as defend
ants, but occasionally are compelled to become
their own clients, and then they realize to the
full extent 1.-THE glorious uncertainty of the law"
1t is saying among the profession that the
lawyer who pleads his own case has fool for a
client" For this reason they help each other
out when compelled to defend. \ case is now
pending which will probably call out all the
legal talent of the city in the defense of one who
has been assailed in very tender point with
the weapons of the law.
The case referred to is styled Hiram w. Cady
VS.. James E. Momford, and was entered yester-
day in the Circuit Court. Who Mr.. Cady is we
do not know, except that, like "Othello," he is
damned with fair wife," And there's where
the shoe pinches; for this lovely wife appears to
have attracted the attention of Mr. Momford,
who is bachelor of mature years, ample for
tune, and an eye for beauty. Mr.. Momford is
the gentleman who some years ago, was nomi-
mated for Judge of one of the courts on the
Democratic ticket He was not elected, and so
the judicial ermine is not soiled by the charges
brought against him by Mr.. Cady.
We cannot state, in plain words, all the facts
alleged in the petition of Mr.. Cady for the Ian
guage of his complaint might offend ears polite.
We can only say that he claims $40, 900 damages
for being deprived of the society OF his wife;
that he charges Mumford with having been too
familiar with her, and with spiriting her away,
so that he does not know her present where
abouts. 1t is also stated in the complaint that
improper means were used to destroy the fruit
of the Illicit connection.
| II is to be understood that we totally dscredit
the story of the lawyers depravity. 1t can
hardly be possible that a gentleman of such re-
| fined manners-one moving in the first circles
| the pet of the ladies-the envy of younger and
better looking men-would so far forget the
| decencies of society as to steal away mans
wife, and keep her concealed from him. There
| must be some mistake about the matter, and Mr.
| Cady may be laboring under horrible halluci
| nation caused by jealousy or something worse
| We await the filing of the lawyers answer, tina
we may hear both sides of the case.--St. LOai

Corruption in the Methodist Book Concern.
The y. Y. Times makes the following editorial
announcement, which will occasion q stir in
Church circles. The Concern" of which men
tion is made does an enormous business in sup
plying the churches of the denomination with
books, and is, in fact the central repository for
all such works appertaining to this branch OF
the Christian Church,
1t Is with great reluctance that we give cur
rency to a very unpleasant report which has
reached us in regard to institution which of
all others in the land ought to be beyond re-
proach, or even suspicion. The authority, how
ever for what we are about to announce is OF
such character that silence on our part would,
under the circumstances, amount to delin-
ouency We are credibly assured that the new
Agent of the Methodist Book Concern, Rev. Dr.
Lanahan, has discovered in that establishment
great corruption and fraud, involving losses tc
the amount of several hundred thousand dol
lars. The subject, we understand, is undergoing
investigation, and as soon as the details car
be given to the public without prejudice to any
but culpable parties, we shall endeavor to fur
nish them.

MYSTERY.
Three Skeletons Found Under House.


Early in the past summer three human skele-
tons were found under house at Parkville, No.,
under the following circumstances:-A boy, son
of the people residing in the house, had bor-
rowed an axe of neighbor, which, instead of
returning, he placed under a rock forming part of
the wall of the building. Some time after, being
asked by the neighbor what he had done with
the axe, he told them where he had placed it.
On going to the spot and rolling away the stone
to obtain the axe, human skull was brought to
light. Further investigation by digging resulted
in the startling discovery of three human skele-
tons of men, covered with n slight depth of
EARTH The teeth OF one was found to be filled
with gold filings, proving that the skeletons
most unquestionably belonged to white persons.
The excitement occasioned by so horrible
discovery was intense. Fresh horror is now
added to it by a discovery which may throw
some light on the terrible mystery. On Mon
day, September 13, little girl, daughter of the
family at present residing in the house, went to
a closet to hang up some clothing. Instead OF
coming out backward as almost everybody
would, and as undoubtedly great many had
done who had visited the closet perhaps hun
dred times, she turned around, when her atten-
ton was attracted by some writing on the wall
before her (Which had escaped the notice o.
those who had previously visited the closely;
calling the attention of the family TO it, they

Undoubtedly this has. a connection with the
bodies under the building and may lead to some
developments which will show that murder mos
foul was committed, and that one of the skele
tons found was that of the writer of the above

were with him. The idea occurs to us. says the
Leavenworth Times, from which we take oul
account that these men may have been "Fret
Statesmen either on their way to, or kidnapped
from Kansas in 1857, and killed by ''borde
ruffians." But speculations are needless fo
IN any theories might be advanced and nom
of them be correct. The house in 1857 stoot
isolated from all others, upon hill. Now othe
buildings surround it, and the hill is grade'
down. But at the time indicated by the writint
discovered in the closet, the building was so fa
removed from Others that foul murder coul,
have been done without alarming any Of tn
neighborhood The proprietor at that time i
still living in the county, but many differen
families have since lived in it. This man, it i
stated, was then considered an upright man, an

PARIS SENSATIONS.
rhe Modern Anrl-Art spirIt.

Paris has had sensation in the way OF anti
art NJ. CarpeauX had executed and put up in
front of the new opera house group OF figures
in marble. The centre figure OF the group is a
man holding aloft a tambourne, and beneath
him are some naked women dragging each other
roundin ring and supposed to be dancing. 1t
must be acknowledged that these nude figures
seem heartily ashamed of being thus exposed to
the public gaze. The group when first exposed
was variously criticized, some people contending
that the artist deserved well of his country for
launching into something original, and others
declaring that his originality was nothing but
ndecency. But the other night somebody
quietly smashed bottle of ink over one of the
nude girls great outcry has been raised
against the author of this piece of vandalism,
and no such attack has been made on public
mon ument since gentleman broke the nose of
