New YORK, Sept. 12.-As Francis de
Lisle of No. 1853 Spring street was walking
through Elizabeth street last evening, he
was stopped by two women named Kate
Quinn and Eliza Hay, who engaged him

found that his pocketbook. containing
$l40, was gone. He caused their arrest,
and the stolen property was found in
their possession. At the Tombs Police
Court this morning, Justice Flammer held
them 81 900 each to answer.
