An Important Arrest.
from the St. Louis Republican.

From the st. Louis Republican,
New YORK, August 28.-There was in
tense excitement in the Second avenue this
evening, when the police arrested DR.. Jacob
Rosensweig. The doctor is charged with
producing an abortion on the body of the
young woman whose remains were found in
a trunk checked for Chicago on Satur-
day evening. The police, with difficulty,
retained their prisoner, the crowd being
determined to hang him to the nearest
lamp post reinforcement of police was
soon on the ground and the doctor was
finally safely lodged in the Eighteenth ward
stationhouse, He was arrested in drink
ing saloon near his residence, but denies all
knowledge of the affair. He says he never
saw the trunk, never knew anything of the
woman. The truck-driver who is an in
telligent man, however, pointed out the
house without difficulty to the police and
he is sure of his man. He presented him
self voluntarily to the police headquarters
to-day, gave description of the house and
told the police he had not heard of the
story until to-day, else he would have pre-
sented himself to the police on Sunday.
The arrest of the doctor causes a general
feeling of satisfaction throughout the city.

Responsibility of Steamboat Officers.

New YORK, August 28-In the general
sessions to-day Recorder Hackett delivered
a lengthy address to the jury who were re-
assembled to consider the bills of indict-
ment against parties charged with criminal
negligence in the explosion of the boiler of
the steamer Westfeld. He called attention
to section sixteen, by which the captain,
engineer or other person responsible were
deemed guilty of manslaughter in the third
degree If a boiler explodes and life is lost
through the ignorance or gross neglect of
such officers, and section nineteen, by which
every other such killing, not murder, is
manslaughter in the fourth degree; and said
if the inspector did his work negligently, he
should be Indicted under the latter section.
He also directed them that if the president
and superintendent of the ferry company
had such notice of incompetency of the en-
gineer or insecurity of the boiler, as to re-
quire greater care and more rigid inspec-
ton than was exercised, the grand fury
should inquire if these officials did not CON
tribute to the result by culpable negligence.
The first section would also apply to the
engineer. If common carriers could be
made responsible for accidents to passen-
gers, great and beneficial example would
be made. With the whole nation looking
to this jury's judicial action in reference to
this catastrophe, the court, grand jury and
prosecuting officials should give no room for
after reproaches from any quarter.
