a Strange COHspiracy-HOw n New York
Firm was OveFreucbed.

A very curious conspiracy has been ex-
posed in New York. Messrs. Phelps, Dodge
~ Co. are in the metal business, and one Of
the oldest and most responsible firms in the
country. A Mr.. Abraham Nelson is q mer-
chant in the same line. Now, Mr.. Nelson
managed TO obtain an insight INTO the af-
fairs Of Phelps, Dodge a. Co. The secrets
OF their trade were all before him. Detee-
fives aseertained that he obtained his in
formation of the business secrets of his COM
petirors in very notable, but not wholly
original manner, stated as follows:
He had begun operations by inquiring of
the janitor as to what be did with the en-
velopes received by the firm, some us in
number. The ianitor told him that he
looked through them to see that no i'm
pOrtant document remained in any of them,
and then destroyed them. Said the tempter
them eff you viii save any of them for me
that have the name of the firm from which
they came printed on the corner viii pay
you for them" This apparently almost
harmless proposition was aceeded to. But
It was only the entering wedge. The first
doubtful step taken, the ianitor was gradu-
ally induced to aid Mr.. Nelson in any plan
that occurred to him by which he might I'm
dermine the business of the venerable firm.
BY means of the envelopes Nelson soon OBJ
tanned list of the correspondents.
That is very much like the operations of
newspaper publishers who obtain lists of
the subscriptions Of competitor We shall
see in the continuation of the account the
logic Of tlIis
Having the ianitor well in hand, he next
sought, with success, to win the stock and
contract clerks as eonfederates. BY the
help of oil these inside traitors, he was en-
abled to get into communication with the
patrons of Phelps, Dodge & Co. He would
write to them, offering metal a little under
the prices at which he knew the old firm
were selling them, and thus obtained their
custom. Again, knowing where they bought, |
and the size and character of their CON
tracts, he was enabled to turn the informa
ton to his own benefit and their injury.
And here is the last development Of this |
sort of crime:
"a silk umbrella purchased by Mr. Dodge |
the day previous, at a cost of twelve dol |
lars was found concealed in the leg of his |
trousers, while quantity of stationery |
was snugly bestowed beneath his vest. A /
pair OF burglars nippers were also in his
possession. Peterson was not found in pos
session OF any property or plumber. The /
latter made full confession"

The curiosity OF one young lady was
thoroughly satisfied at Little Falls the
other day. She visited a telegraph Office.
and there saw a pair Of handouts, left by
an officer who had gone to Syracuse. She
put them on her wrists, and they fitted
well, and SO she snapped them together.
and there they were. There she was. more.
over, for when she tried to get them off
they wouldn't unsnap. Various entreaties
were made to friends and acquaintance in
the vicinity, but they couldn't assist her.
Keys were tried in vain. Tears and ex-
clamatiOn points were used in prOfusion,
but the memorable bracelets remained
fixed Finally a telegraph message was
sent TO the officer at Syracuse to ''COme
back quick" speedily followed by another
of like tenor He returned as soon as pos.
sible, and after having been prisoner sew
eral hours the young lady was released.
She has, it is said, no especial desire for
further experience of any kind. She is
hardly able to appear IN company.
