Burglar and Forger and Bogus Brother.

| The New York police were lately hunting
| for burg ar and robber, and caught a torger
after whom they had been looking vainly tor
| months. The Prussian Consul in New York
some months ago received orders from his
government to have Joseph Schwinck caught
| in case he set foot in New York and extradited.
He had raised money by forgeries to the
| amount of 100000 thalers, and his Prussian
| victims wanted settl ment with him. His
photograph and dissertation were sent He
had q scar on his forehead and the little finger
| OF the left hand. A detective watched the YES
sells at Quarantine for some time, and as no
body answering to the photograph and de-
scription Of Schwinck came, he finally gave
it up. PROBABLY the German crews had help
ed the fellow through, as they sometimes take
pity on countryman IN distress
The other night Mrs. Louisa Shaw's hair
store was robbed of $3.50 worth of goods,
and the robbery looked us if it had been done
from the inside. The police asked Mrs Shaw
if she suspected no one about the house. She
did not: she knew all her family and help per-
tee ly well, except her husbands's step-brother,
John Schultz who had arrived from Europe
only few months ago. But she considered
him above suspicion. He was away at pres
ent-gone to Yonkers. An officer went to
Yonkers and found schultz sitting smoking
cigar on the steps OF hotel in gloved hands
The officer knew about Schwinck, and that
German scamp came in his mind when he
looked in the face Of Schultz and observed
scar on his forehead. He arrested Schultz
and asked him to take off his gloves tor
minute. Shultz objected, but the gloves
had to come Oft, and the man had no little
finger on his lett hand. His glove finger Was
filled out with cotton, and he had several
other pairs Of gloves in his trunk with the
same cotton attachment. Schwinck was
caught, fully identified by the photograph
and, though none of Mrs. Shaws hair was
found on him, he was wanted to take a trip to
Europe. Mr.. Shaw had told his wife that
Schui4 was step-brother, and she had taken
him into the family on the strength OF this
relationship. Now Shaw says that Schultz is
in no way related to him, but he ought at
least to explain to his wife why he adopted the
stranger as a brother. However, that is a
private matter between Mr. and Mrs Shaw
The CoLoRED POPULATION IN Biloxi
About $500 negroes from Mobile and New Or
leans came over to Biloxi, Monday, picnicing
They claimed to belong to the order Of Odd |
Fellows, but we believe the movement po- !
lltical one. 1t was variegated crowd, surely |
Prominent white-skinned Radicals were seen |
moving among this mass, and seemed to be
perfectly at ease. Mike Hahn, ex-Gov |
ernor OF Louisiana, showed his Butlel |
face, and there were other Louisiana;
politicians present, whose names we di,
not learn. The day was spent by the negroe.
in speaking eating and drinking. During
the day an attempt was made by some of tn
yellow negroes to drink in the bar-rooms
out they could not come it over the Biloxi
They were told by the bar
tenders that no negro could be waited on il
their houses; that they were for white mel
md not negroes. The negroes returned DIR,
md somewhat disappointed. There was n,
disturbance, and the crowd left about
. clock Monday evening for their respective
homes, yelling like wild Indians.
