An Immense Fraud.


Early In 1914 the bank of England,
and, in fact, tho whole Stock Ex-
change, were victimized, by a "bull"
fraud that rivals in its magnitude, and
certainly in its daring, the most ia
nous Of our Wall street corners, not
excepting even that of "Black Fri
day" England was almost exhausted
by her terrible fifteen years struggle
with Napoleon, and tottercd on the
verge of revolution and financial ru-
in. Tho successful military operations
which had checked the last grand CO.
alition had added to the deep anxiety
and depressed tho funds to an alarm.
ing extent. of sudden there was
tremendous rally. Consols rose with
jump, and the transfers of a single
day were greater than those OF months
previous. The transactions on Change
were of such magnitude that tho nim-
bic fingers of the clerks could scarce
ly find time to record them. The
cause OF the excitement was this: On
the 2lst Of February, about l o'clock
in tho morning, violent knocking
was heard at the door Of the Ship Inn,
at Dover. The intruder announced
himself as Lieutenant Colonel Du.
boug, aid-de-camp of Lord Cathoart.
His richly embroidered uniform, his
stars, orders, gold lace, etc, supported
the assertion, and the salt spray
which wetted him confirmed his story
that he had bribed a French smuggler
10 bring him across the Strait. His
news was important. Napoleon had
been slain in battle, and the allied ar
mics were in Paris.
The widest excitement was pro-
duced. The news was forwarded to
London and spread like wildfro,-

4 COMMONPLACE MURDER.

The murder in Broome-st. on Sunday night
was one of a kind too common to excite
general attention and sympathy. Francis
Gillen, aged 23 steam-ftter and rowdy by
trade. murdered his wife, miliiner, aged 1S,
on the sidewalk as she was going home to
her fathers house. The man was in blind
fury of passion, for he stabbed the poor
young woman six times, intlicting no
less than four mortal wounds. He had
no cause of quarrel with her, except
that he had treated her so badly she
could not live with him, and so she was earn
ing her own livelihood under her fathers pro-
lection. The case affords no material for
public excitement or comment. 1t will not be
discussed at tea-tabes, nor in the col
umns of newspapers. 1t is all common
place and unheroic. The parties are all
mechanics the poor victim will be
missed from her shop until her place is filled,
the murderer will be missed from no place
we can decently mention, and the heart
broken father will drive his cart as usual to
gain his daily bread, as he belongs to class
that cannot afford the luxury of senti-
mental sorrow. 1t is an item of police news
of no general interest.
Yet this case contains within itself the whole
question of domestic authority. A pretty and
willful young girl, only 10, with blue eyes
and blond hair, two years ago attracted the
attention of a prohigate young fellow, who
found her pleasant relief from the worse
women he generally associated with, and won
her fancy. This is an easy thing for disso-
Lutte youth to do. These flashy, idle,
rowdyish boys, whose vices give them
leisure, are creatures of romance to certain
class of working girls. If they know how
worthless the boy is it makesno difference. An
innocent woman never admits, even to herself
the existence of the worst forms of wickedness
"a little wild" is the vagae formula that
covers the most groveling infamies, and the
prospect of reforming the fascinating truant
from the paths of virtue presents an irresisti-
bic allurement. Parental opposition adds
only fuel to the flame No girl IN
love, Or in what she calls by
that name, is capable of thinking that her
father can tell her anything worth knowing
about the object of her fancy. The father OF
this unfortunate woman found out this as soon

Immediately made a clandestino marriage with
Gillen. Her honeymoon turned quickly 70

Tor she belonged TO him by law, and was The
helpless victim Of his cruelties. After few
weeks Of this frightful punishment, she left
him and went home to her father again, and
by his help obtained respectable means Of
earning her living.
But this brutal ruliian, though he recognized
no obligations resting upon himself from tho
marriage tie, considered himself grossl,

idea never seemed to occur to him that she

ton Of duty presented itself to him.
This idea of marital right is not confined to
men like Gillen alone. The policeman who
saw HIM just before the murder is said to
have acknowledged that he feared some
trouble, but did not like to interfere between
man and wife. This man, Gillen, it is re-
ported, has long been known to the police as
q vicious and dangerous character. Yet the
law, which muzzles harmless dogs under
the superstition that they may 90

wild beast from stealing young
girl from her father, marrying, maltreating.
and killing her-nOt all at once, but diffusing
the crime over two years. We need not draw
a moral which would be as commonplace az
the murder, and would touch upon two com.
mOnpace and evident faults of the time-the
claim Of children that their parents have no
right to interfere with their bestowal of their
affections, and the claim Of husbands that
their wives are their property.

BROOKLYN TAXES.

The first effect of THE TRIBUNE's exposures
of the designs of the Ring of Brooklyn to in
crease taxation from So SO hundred to S. 25
were visible at the meeting which we reported
yesterday. The Board of Estimate took pains
to announce that the rate of taxation would
not be increased. These are fair promises !;
perhaps they will be kept to the ear and
broken TO the hope.
Those citizens of Brooklyn who have been
aroused by oppression, in the manner of taxes,
to jealous scrutiny Of their rulers, will do well
To watch those who are TO make the assess
ments. The Board of Estimate will bs forced

TIE LEGISLATURE AND THIS CITY.

TIE LEGISLAIUhE dNO IHio CiAi'
Our Albany correspondent in another part
of this paper gives a careful summary OF 80
much legislation, particularly relating to New
York City. as had become law by receiving
the signature of the Governor mp to Tuesday
night 1t will be seen that the city IS still
most decidedly governed by the Legislature
Local self-gOvernment remains almost myth,
so far as this metropolis is concerned. The
Legislature has given us an entire new char
ter to begin with Besides that, il has passed
special acts regulating the police force and in
creasing the pay of firemen; reorganizng the
police courts and the public school depart
ment providing for the construction OF new
armories and new city prison, and for the
completion of county buildings; establishing
n commission of charitable correction, and
making important financial arrangements. by
the common will and consent of the Legisla-
ture, the officers of the City and County Gov
ernment, and the taxpayers, the noble debt
of the municipality continues vigorously to
increase. On the whole, it must be confessed,
we have escaped from this last Legislature
with fewer injuries than we anticipated,
thanks to the independence of few high
minded men in the State Senate. The City
Government, taking it altogether, is now more
honestly administered than it has been Tor
quarter Of century. For the fact that 1t Is
so we have to thank the voters Of the city
The force of public opinion prevented the
Legislature from tbwarting the will OF the
people, and has defeated the professional
highwaymen called politicians in many con
tests both at Albany and Mt home. While we
are not such UtOpians as to hope for unmlxed
good we yet feel some confidence that the
people Of this city can be trusted to elect
good men for places of responsibility We In
sist that the Legislature shall let them carry
out the experiment.
The last two Legislatures have done all
that Legislatures can do to give the city RAPID
transit 1t remains to be seen whether capi-
talists have sufficient confidence that there is
a real necessity for quicker and more com
Portable means Of getting about than those
now afforded. This will probably be deter
mined in year or two. If by that time
there shall be no prospect Of practical solu-
ton of the rapid transit question, let the City
do the work.
The number of laws enacted relating to
charitable and religious societies shows that
the will to do good work is still strong and
active, as it ever has been in New-York. We
may mention as instances of this principle
that three new hospitals have been incor-
porated this year, Young Ladies' Christian
Association instituted, and an organization
perfected for building a grand cathedral for
the Protestant Episcopal Church. At every
session charitable corporations are forced to
apply for amendments to their charters to
permit them to hold property exceeding in
value the original limitation. Whatever the
character of the Legislature, there is always
some pleasure to be found in reviewing this
mart of its work

taxation; but the swindle will come IN when

This is an old time prevarication OF the Rlng
leaders, but it will not serve them on TING
occasion. Brooklyn property is not increasing;
any owner of it will tell the Ring so. There

For good account of the great sale of the
Perkins Library in London, chief biblo-
graphical event of the day, we refer to the
letter of our London correspondent herewith
printed. The number of books disposed OF
was not so great as to be remarkable, but the
prices paid were extremely large for individ-
ual lots. Upon single day the bids amounted
to over $4,000, and never at any sale have
been offered the four Shakespearean foliOs and
two coAes Of the Mazarin Bible. Details of
the sale of these most interesting books will
be found in our correspondents letter His
notice of the Mazarin Bible and of the Shake
speares is both entertaining and instructive.
Indeed, there has not been in London sale
attracting so much attention since that of the
Boccacio at the Roxburg auction. The prices
paid were very good, but they were no higher
than the extreme rarity of the books de-
manded. Another obliging correspondent has
added some particulars, to which we also
refer the reader.
