puted watch-loan swinders, formed quite dra-
matte episode. He had, apparently, in the char
acter of q substantial commission merchant,
won the heart OF young lady named Rosalie
Mayer, belonging to q respectable and wealthy
family living at "a East Fifty-fifth street, and
was engaged to be married to her. The two
lovers had gone out for a walk, and on their re-
turn, about half past 10, Strauss was arrested in
the presence of his betrothed, whose grief and
shame knew no bounds. The deceived girl APP
peared at Police Headquarters, where all the
prisoners concerned In the business were con-
tined, yesterday morning, TO learn the true state
or the case. At her request she was permitted
to have an Interview with Strauss, whom, when
admitted to his cell, she overwhelmed with re-
proaches, and flung the ring of their betrothal
into his face. after which she abruptly turned
her back to the disgrsced lover, and, taking
the arm OF her guardian, who had accompanied
her, left the building.-N. \. World, 2ah'
