The New York correspondent o: the Chi.
caso Times says of Bret Harts: "Undoub'-
edly man OF genius, he Is not without some
faults Of genius. Oae OF these is his inca
pscity to take care of money. His family
say he would be no better off with an income
of S25, 600 than he would an income Of
50 500 year. He has had an annual salary
of $4,000 from J. r. O.sood n Co, Of
Boston, though on the close Of December his
purse was as thin as on the first day of Jan
uary. This financial defect, doubtless tenn
perrmental, iuuolves him in obligations he
cannot discharge. A very fsstidicus and
labO,ious writer, he'll apt to be behind IN
his engagements, even after lie has had pc
cnniary inducements TO complete them

About two months since, Molly Holbrook,
member of . gang of New York thieves,
stole $51, 900 in Chicago, with which she
made OF. Detective Miller subsequently, ar.
rested her in New York. but while taking
her to Chicago he made mistake BY going
on the Great Western line instead Of the
Lake Shore. On reaching Hamilton Ont,
Molly broke from him, and running out OF
the cars claimed the protection Of Cana
dian officer, saying that she had been kid
mapped. The protection was accorded, and
the detective Was compelled for the time
being TO give up the chase. Her movements
in Canada were ''shadowed," however, and
on her making preparations to come into the
State, Miller was notified and again took the
trail. MolIie succeeded in escaping to New
York, and from thence went to West Troy
on Friday of last week. From West Troy
she came to this city, and on Wednesday
night last, returned to Troy. Detective Nil.
Ter traced her to West Troy on Wednesday,
and at once communicated with the police.
From Troy MolIie went to Saratoga, and
thi,her the the detective followed, but un-
able to find her. On Tuesday information was
received that she had gone to New York,
and Miller, with Detective Ryan Of Troy,
we're about going down in pursuit, when in
passing through River street, they entered
Bowles' saloon and there beheld the object
of their search. She was, OF course, at once
arrested, and the detective sarted immediate

RocHEFoRr's romantic escape from New
Caledonia was planned by Pascal Gronssel
before the prisoner arrival at the penal
colony. The owner OF the small boat BY
which the hgh, was affected, received TO-.
900 francs, or 5000, for his part in the
work. The Government, it seems, re.l.s
upon the sharks which infest the waters IN
that region to deter the convicts from en-
deavoripg to swim out 10 the small crafts
that rail about in that vicinity, while the
tier are forbidden from approaching within
a certain number of yards from the shore.
Rochetort ard his companions, however,
preferred to risk falling into the jaws OF the
sharks to abiding by the tender merc;es OF
the penal AUTHORITIES. They Therefore swan
out 500 yards to the toat that was awaiting
them, and 80 escaped 10 Sidney, whence
Rochefcft ,elegrsphed to friend in Paris
for 9, 600 frses. Part OF this sum was
supplied by two newspapers. the RsPu6'ique
Froaoaiss and the Raped, and COCO francs
were contributed nv Victor Hugo.

CAPTURED.
The Leader Of a Gang Of Mule
Thieves in Limbo.

News reached the city yesterday that Jas.
Sherman, the notorious horse and mule
thief, had been arrested ard locked up in
the St. Joseph Jail. Sherman with his gang
has been operating for months in Southern
Kansas, running the stolen property up into
Nebraska, where it was disposed OF. On the
route north they picked up all the animals
they could lay hands on, and much
valuable stock in the towns west OF the city
have thus been spirited away beyond :he
reach Of the owners. The police Of this
city have been on the qui rire for the vii
lains for months past, bu: they succeeded in
eluding the strictest vigilance of the officers.
The two mule thieves sent u Olathe day
before yesterday were part o: the gang.
Now that the chief OF the band is in limbo,
the thieves will probably make themselves
scarce, and be.ake themselves to different
erriiory for plumber.
