A correspondent of the Cincinnati Times
relntes the following incident which is
vouched for a. having recently occurred in
New York:
As q capital illustration Of the manner in
which thieves conduct their little well or
ganized and apparently quite Legitimate
calling in Gotham a little affair came under
my observation Il few days ago wherein n
family in the village Of Woodside, on the
Long Island Railroad, were !obbed by bur.
glars Of silver plate aud iewelty. The de-
t%ectives, OF course, could obtain no clue
until n reward was offered for the return Of
the property, which consisted of gifts and
valued heirlooms in the family. A polite
note was ]theroupon received from the gen.
tlemen burglars expressing their regrets at
the inconvenience of the owners, and Offer
ing at once to restore the goods, but in re-
gard for their own necessities, they would
he compelled TO accept the reward offered
as II compliment to their honesty and pro-
fessional skill.
The owner consulted the detective upon
the propricty OF causing The unrest OF the
thieves, but was pcrcmptorily informed that
such n course was not 'honor among
thieves, and would end only in increased
disaster to all concerned, aud e~quivocally
advised him to take what he could get and
ask no questions. lie accordingly, by 0p-
pointment, entered the smoking-car Of an
afternoon train, and found two nobby
gents, with fancy kids, white hats, diamond
pins, and rings, in charge Of a basket con-
tanning his lost ~yalunbles, and there, in the
presence Of the passengers, vino knew
what was going on, the goods were examin
cd, the negotiation happily concluded, aud
the money paid. The nonchalant Jack
Sheppard offered their new friend q fifty
cent Havana, talked merrily and friendly,
and at the next station bid him goodbye IN
the most polite possible, Has fc
ton recorded anything more singularly
cool and refreshing than this? Paul Cliff

A PickpOcket Dodge.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin,
A few words in regardt to a tayorite method
adoptedby piekpockets, known as 'knucks'
TO successfully ply their vocation, may
serve to place the public on their guard
against the encroachments of these light
fingered gentry. Pickpockets ns u general
thing are tolerably well dressed, and so fur
as outward appearances are concerned,
might readily pass for gentlemen. Those
OF the fraternity who have made the pro-
fession n sort of science, dress with scrupu-
lous nentneHs, IRE mt times exceedingly
polite, pleasant in speech, and effect such
Observation-Disclosures that they seldom fail TO
make q favorable impression Hpon society.
There are others who do not come up to
this standard; they are simply coutederates
or pals, - their business being 10 hide the
plumber faxed by their superiors. The
tayoriie resort Of the fraternity Of pick
pockets for the purpose Of pursuing their
profession was for several years the street
cars, generally those which started from
railroad depots Immediately after the arri.
val OF trains, or Mt the places of amusement
at the time of closing. These thieves
would select crowded ears, aud so well ar
ranged were their plans that they never
came in contact with each other. Al the
present time they deviate q little from the
old practice. They do not always Sc
lect crowded cars. They get on the
rear platforms of cars very full,
and insist upon standing there
always being ready with some plausible
excuse, such as "going to get OF directly, -
"only going a couple of squares, or 'its
too hot there" At such a time their plan
of operation is as follows; The car stops
for one or more passengers, who have some
difficulty in efiecting an entrance. The
crowd opens the way, aud as the passenger
passes onward his hat is pushed from be-
hind 80 as to nearly cover his forehead.
This Is so adroitly accomplished by the
thIefa as to throw the passenger aforesaid
OFF his guard. He puts his hand no to re.
adjust his tile, and at the same instant the
scientific "knuck" relieves him of his
pocket-book or other yaluables, which he
handsto his pal" who gets of and disap'
pears.
The Multiplying business is quite q favor,
lite practice, although 1t Is not always at
tended with success. Persons who meet
with such an event, either in getting on
railroad cars, or while waiting nj ticket
offices in depots or at places Of amusement,
should remember these words of caution.
In case any one should feel his hat move
from behind, in the manner above stated,
whether ON a crowded platform or any
other place, rs already indicated, let thai
person Immediately turn around 10 the Oh,
behind him and say, I'm ON that myself
After that he may feel perfectly secure from
further annoyance on that occasion.

AMAN WITHOUT A BREAsrBoNE.



The following euriops physical phene-
mena we're exhibited before the American
Science association in Boston last week.
DR.. GrouN anative Of Hamburg, andat
present a practicing physician in Brooklyn,
~. Y, was born without the turnum or
brtost bone. DR.. J. Baxter Upham, of
Boston having been intimately acquainted
for many years with DR.. Groux, has devot-
ed a number of ingenious experiments by
which in his case the action Of the heart Is
made 70 manifest itself bothto the eyesa and
ears Of persons situated at n considerable
distance. IL should be born in mind that
the action Of the heart in DR.. Groux is per-
fectly normal and healthy, while
tho absence of the sturnum renders
Il. possible to make certain studies OF
the utmost importance, which are impossi-
bic in the case Of the human being as ordi-
narily constructed. DIR. Groux's case has
been treated Of AZ length In various medical
journals in Europe, but never has IL been
brought i'm such n striking manner before
30 large an audience OF scientific men.-
The mechanism Of the heart is somewhat
/ analogous 10 that Of double-action pump.
In both cases the machinery, however per-
fectly IL may work, makes some noise. DIR.
! GrUux was Gble TO show three distinct mo-
tions and sounds occurring successfully,
and With n certain rhythm, in every beat of
the heart. De. GrouX also exercised
The power, rarely bestowed, and never
used without great danger, Of stopping
| at will, during n short period, the &C.
ton of his heart. This was done
this evening to the satisfaction Of several
mendicant men, one ofwhom was listening
with the stethoscope at the chest, the two
others feeling at the wrist for the pulse.
For about 20 seconds the action ofthe vital
organ in the fail chest Of DR.. Groux COM
pletely coased. Some years ago there eX-
istcd an individual who was wont TO exPer-
imenting with himself in this manner, and
who finally persisted through being unable
to resume the ordinary conditions Of human
existence. DIR. Upham so far FROM encour-
aging his friend, DIR. Groux. in the repeti-
ton of this perilous experiment, has ear
nestly cntrCated him never 20 make the
venture again. Some years ago, Dr.. GrouX
having made up his mind TO travel in
various cities Of Europe and America,
caused Rufus Choate, the renowned lawyer,
TO draw up a will making over his body, in
the event of his death, 20 the surgeons for
dissection. Portions of this will, which is
q long document composed in Mr.. Choate's
happiest vein, were read to the great de-
] iBnt VI lut hANAtllufs Inv btibihhi hiulsf
in the inimitable handwriting Of Mr..
Choate himself, was also exhibited. The
experiments and explanations specially re-
latiug TO DR.. Groux were given with great
clearDess by that gentleman, who is n regu-
larly graduated physician. II is clearly Of
great advantage to science that this rare
malfomation occurs in one who is so well
qualified 70 observe the obscure vital pro-
cesses which it affords an opportunity Of

ROMANTIC MARRIAGES

from the Albany Rnickcrbocker Aug. 81.
We have Just heard or a rather romantic
story which has t%mnspired in This city, the
truth of which We. can youch for, notwith.
standing its sensational procliyitics. A
few veSrs since, o girl living as q domestic
in an aristocratic and wealthy family Of
LIVERPOOL. England, won the affections OF
the son Of that family. The young man
became smitten of his inpmomta, aud re-
solved upon marrying her. When he made
bis intentions known to his parents, Sc
rioua opposition was manifested. The
girl, although a good one, y]irtuous and
honest, was not in keeping with the FAM
lily Standing in society. To marry such
a one was considered q disgrace in ing
land. especially when the family Of
the younp man IL of the highest
blood. Notwithstanding all this, the young
q man cast aside all family ties, and married
the poor girl of his affections, who was
only a servant in his fathers house. The
result was, that the boy was driven from
the parental roof, and took mp his humble
abode with his wife. They lived together
in peace and happiness a long while. a
son was born out of this marriage, Final
", the husband of the girl was taken sick
with that terrible disease, consumption,
and died, leaving the girl a widow, with
her child. During the illness Of her hus-
band, the latter received kind considera-
ton at the hands Of his parents, although
they never In person, visited his bedside.
Soon after the death of her husband
the widow and child came TO this country
with her father and mother. They set
tied in this city. The father and mother
took up q home for themselves, while tue
widow went out to service in q well-krown
family living on Washington avenue. She
had been there for a long time, and was
honored by her employers. Last week she
received a letter. announcing the fact that
the whole of the estate Of her husbands
father, amounting to e5O0, 600, had been
bequeathed to her son. Arrangements were
at once perfected, and on Wednesday last,
the servant girl, accompanied by her father,
sailed from New York to Liverpool 10 look
after the fortune coming to them.

The Byron Scandal,

The New York Nation, in commenting
upo n the story of Mrs. Stove in regard to
the separation of Lord and Lady Byron,
says:
We were told the main facts Of this his
tory something more than ten years ago,
and this was how il was told to us: Al
whatever time the incestuous connection
between Byron and his sister may have be-
gun, Lady Byron knew nothing Of il, as we
heard the story, until after the birth Of her
child. Some time after that event, prOba-
bly, about the beginning OF January, 1916,
Byron told her of the intrigue, saying that
he had never loved any other woman than
the partner of his guilt. She.
naturally, supposed il TO be a delusion OF
insanity; and II was under this impression
that she consulted DR.. Baltic about him,
which is one of his main charges against
her in his letters and in Don Juan II was
while under this belief that she wrote the
playful letter to Byron, after leaving him,
which is also ole of the counts in the in
dictment against her. After reaching Kirk
by Mallory, her fathers house, she had GER
tain proofs of the truth of what her hus-
band had told her, from which time she
left him for ever.
- Now we do not affirm that this version
of the story is absolutely authentic. We
tell it as il was told to us; butmost certain
by il is inherently more probable than the
one given by Mrs. Stowe, 1t is q key 10 the
whole mystery, and the solution is greatly
honorable to Lady Byron. II accounts for
her silence as 10 to the cause OF the separa-
ton. Her lips were sealed as long as Mrs.
Leigh lived. IL accounts for her oonsulta-
ton with DR.. Baltic, and Tor herletter after
leaving Byron, and before knowing that a
a separation was inevitable, II accounts,
too, for DIR. Lushington's statements con-
firmlng her own, saying that "a %reconeilia-
ton was impossible, aud that II such an
idea should be entertained no could not,
professionally or otherwise, take any part
towards effecting it,"

An English correspondent Of the Rev
olution says Of Mrs. Harriet Martineau.
I'VE were grieyed to learn that n severe at
tack Of her malady in January last had
brought Mrs. Martineau very low, and that
she had scarcely yet recovod from the effects
of ii. She had not this summer been able,
as yet, to go out on the sunny terrace in
front of her house, but had occasionally
sat in the porch to enjoy the fragrant air,
and all the bird and insect life around.
WEAKNESS and restlessness, rather than
actual pain, are the characteristics of her
complaint"

TRAGEDY IN PHILADELPHIA.


n oNnR Wan SnOote DIS FnNhefs
A terrible tragedy occurred in Philadel
phia on Tuesday morning near the scene
of the Twitchel murder. The family Of
Mr.. Thomas u Evans assembled at break
fast at the usual hour, md during the pro-
gress Of the meal the strange behavior of q
son named Marshall Evans was freely dis
cussed. It had been determined that the
father, after breakfast, should visit the
family physician, DIR. Van Dyke, in order
to procure a certificate Of the sons mental
condition, on which he could be removed
10 an insane asylum. just as the converse
ton was concluded Marshall zane into the
breakfast-rOom and took his seat at the
table. His father babe him good morning,
but he made no response, and IL was
suspected by all present that he had over
heard the conversation. He ate heartily,
and while he was thus engaged his father
left the room 60 change his d~ressing-gown
for q coat, and procuring his hat, Mr.
Evans started down the front stairway. On
his father reaching the hall landing, Mar
shall walked toward the front door, drew a
revolver and shot at his father three times
in rapid succession. Mr.. Evans retreated
through the parlofs and fell near the dining
room. His son followed, and rs the body
was lying ON the floor he bent over 1t but
said nothing, and when the police entered
the last words OF the dying man were:
Don't harm my boy, for he didn't know
what he was doing" Young Evans is 26
years old, has been afflicted with rheuma-
tism for many years, and has recently be-
haved in a violent manner 10 his wife and
members Of his own family. lie was with
out doubt insane, for he has been until q
few weeks a good son and an aflectionate
husband.
