The Now Workers have become COIL
slderably alarmed at the prospect ola
short supply OF Croton water, and fear
the destruction Of their city from that
cause. They may perhaps, however,
derive some little consolation from the
fact that some parts Of London are re-
ported 70 b also IN actual peril from
the same cause. A short time ago the
inhabitants Of Wimbledon, In Surrey,
were reused by the cry Of Fire"
The fire brigade with their engine at
once turned out. Ths turncock was
promptly on the spot. The fire plug
was drawn out, but hero arose q hitch
In the proceedings. It was found that
there was no water In the main. The
surveyor to the local board put down
his rule and found only two inches OF
water In the pipe. Under these cir
cumstances the brigade returned to
their station and dispatched a telegram
to the water works at Battersea, but
for sometipe got no reply. An answer
at length was obtained. and the signal
was given to put on pressure. The
brigade again turned out, but as no
water was forthcoming, At l:30 A. NJ.

An Eccentric Detective.

On the night of the 10th of April bur
glars entered the house of William Jordan,
of Trumbull, Conn, and stole five bank
books, representing $1,000, several deeds
and a sum of money. Every effort was
made to trace the thieves, and a search was
made in Hartford for them but nothing
could be learned of their whereabouts. A
day or two since gentleman called on Mr..
Jordan and asked him if he had lost any
money, and ON being told that he had the
stranger said he was New York detec-
tive, and that he had discovered the proper

for other stolen property. The detective
would receive no compensation for his SER

Lights and Shadows of New York life,
or the Sights and Sensations of a great
City, work descriptive of N. Y.city in all its
phases Its SplendOrs and Wretchedness; It's high
and low life; Its Marble Palaces and Dark Dens
Its Attractions and Dangers; Its Rings and
Frauds; Its Leading Men and Politicians; Its
Adventures; Its Mysteries and its Crimes. BY
James ID. McCabe, Jr.
What Paris is to the Frenchman, or London to
the Briton, New York is to the American. 1t Is
not only the Metropolis but 1t is the chief attrac
ton upon this continent, the great centre to which
men and women resort for both business and
pleasure, and as such is source of never-failing
interest. OF late years several attempts have been
made to reproduce its varied attractions in book
form. The most successful result of these efforts
is the book now before us. The author has had
unusual facilities to see every feature OF the great
city, and has written the work with an enthusiasm
which is apparent in every page. He has not
merely produced sensational story, but has given
us record of actual facts, of which he is personal
ly cognizant
The book is as fascinating and absorbing as
novel and were it not for the evidence he furnishes
we should be tempted to believe that he has car
red us into the realm of fiction. He tells us the
history of the great city which has grown to be the
most remarkable in America, and relates its old
traditions with zest and humOr. He introduces us
to all classes OF people and initiates us into their
ways and manner of life lie brings us face to
face with great merchants and bankers, actors
editors, working women, ballet girls, thieves
gamblers, sailors, quacks firemen, and host OF
others. He delights us with his sketches of the
better and brighter side OF city life of the genius
enterprise charity and humanity of the great city,
and appals us with his thrilling accounts of the
darker and more terrible side of the life he is de-
! llneating.
A truthful picture of New York life cannot be
otherwise than deeply interesting. Our author
has succeeded admirably in his task, and we pre-
diet for his book large sale. 1t is brlm full OF
useful information, brilliant and fascinating and
an emphatic warning against the vices of the CITY,
1t Is pure and lofty In tone, and while II discusses
fully OF many of the darker sides OF city life, 1t
does SO with dellcacy and candor An interesting
feature Of the book is powerfully written history
OF the Tammany Ring frauds with sketches of the
actors therein.
1t is comprised in one large octave volume OF
$50 pages, illustrated with nearly 200 fine engra-
wings OF noted places life and scenes in New York,
and published by the National Publishing Co., OF
| Philadelphia
| The low price at which the work is issued, brings
II within the reach OF ALL and no one who wants to
know New York as II really is, should fail to buy
this book. II is published In English and German,
sold by subscription only agents wanted In every
| county.

ADreadful Incident.

AS already stated among the victims of
the recent railroad smash-up at Metuchen,
N. j., was Danish couple named Potass-
en-, but two months married, Mr.. Potassen
being the son of Danish nobleman. They
were on their bridal tour, and were on the
way to San Francisco, where Potassen's
brother is Danish Consul. When the terri
BILE crash came all was darkness and confu-
sion for few moments but the gentle
man soon recovered consciousness, and his
first thought was of his bride. An imme-
diate search was made for the lady, who
was at last found beneath heap of debris,
senseless, and covered with blood. Upon
raising her up, her husband was Mortified
pletely torn off.
The unfortunate lady was removed to
shelter, and the husband began the sick
ening task of seeking his wife's missing
arm. He proclaimed that upon one of the
fingers was diamond wedding ring jew
el worth many hundred dollars, and in
stantly general search was begun. A
mong the providers about the wreck was a
train hand, who was observed to secrete
something under his coat and walk away.
He was soon overhauled and on perceiving
that he had been detected he threw down
his burden, which proved to be the lost
arm. 1t was picked up by the nobleman,
who removed the ring, and caused the arm
to be taken care of. The lady was brought
to St. Barnabas' Hospital in Newark, where
she now lies in a fair way of recovery.

CB- Buenos Ayres is stirred to a great
degree of excitement by recent attempt
upon the life of lady of high rank. The
victim was the Donna de Castellanos, and
she belonged to the highest order Of native
nobility. She was going out of store in
the company Of her daughter, when she
was approached by man, who stabbed her
in the back with stiletto. He instantly
fled, and has not been taken. The blow
was aimed with great accuracy at the heart,
but the lady was quite fieshy, and the blade
failed to reach the vital part.

Gbe Gintes, Mem BLOOMFIELD, 1)a.

eB- "A mulatto attempted terrible out
rage on little girl ten years of age, in
Pana, Christian county, Wisconsin. Fail
ing to accomplish his design, he cut her
throat, but so hastily that the child still
lives, and identified the scoundrel who was
arrested. The excitement was SO great
that the prisoner had to be taken from the
town to prevent his being lynched.
CB- Recently in Doylestown while Mr..
Lovett was digging well or pit in the
corner of his yard, for the purpose of drain
ing his cellar, at the depth of six or eight
feet he came across mass of reddish
brown earth, of a very smooth and fine
consistence. On examination, he conclu-
ded this was valuable as pigment, and on
grinding it with oil and applying with
brush it was found to work very well. A
company was formed to develope it.
tB- During the performance of a farce
at the Metropolitan variety theatre, New
York, on last Thursday a week, Charley
Brown, Banjo player, shot man named
Keegan, song and dance man. 1t was
supposed that the musket which Brown
discharged at Keegan contained only pow
der, but the ram rod had carelessly been
left in the barrel. The rod entered Kee-
gan's head, inficting a dangerous wound.
The parties were the best of friends. The
shooting was purely accidental.
G5S- On the 1st inst, at the residence of
Planter Wray, near Brownsville, Tenn,
and his brother-in-law, John A. Wilson,
about a horse trade which occurred two
years ago. Wray shot Wilson through the
heart, killing him instantly. He then ran
into the yard, followed by Wilson'S wife,
begging him not to shoot her husband
again, not knowing he was dead. Her
screams, it is supposed, caused him to
place the pistol to his breast and fire, it
caused a fatal wound. The parties are all
respectable, and the affair causes great ex-
citement.
GB A Minnesota wood chopper hewed
down tall tree the other day, and upon
epliILlnB up uHe IrulR WlUn an axe ana
wedge, found imbedded in the wood at the
point where the trunk diverged into branch
es, leather bride of antique pattern, with
bit and buckles attached, and all in a re-
markable state of preservation. 1t had
been fully thirty feet from the ground and
its presence there can only be accounted for
by the supposition that some passing horse
man had used the crotch of a sapling as a
rest for his bride, and led from the place
in pursuit of his straying horse had been
unable to find it again, and abandoned the
bride to be carried up and entombed by
the slow growth of the tree. 1t is believed
that the tree must have been fifty years in
hiding its treasure.

THE Philadelphia liquor case came up
before the Supreme Court on Tuesday last,
and the majority of the Judges being op-
posed to hearing the arguments at present,
the case went over to next term. The City
Solicitor gave notice that he should advise
the Commissioners now to issue the Lii
censes. Counsel for the temperance party
ask the Court of Common Pleas to issue an
injunction. In that case the liquor dealers
will appea! to the Supreme Court, and de-
cision will probably be given by next No
vember.
