Another Swindlo Exposed.

The N. Y. Sun of last Tuesday says -
For some time letters have been sent to
the Sun from persons in all directions, say
ing that they had been swindled out of
sums of $15 and upwards by "Robert ].
Mulligan s. Co., and others protesting to
be sewing machine manufacturers. The
letters having been handed to Superintend-
ent WallinG, he said that he had received
many of the same kind, and they were
handed over to Detectives Heidelberg and
Tilley. Yesterday the officers arrested
Robert j. Mulligan, Alias Burbank, and
two boys, William ]. Corrigan and Bernard
Mclaughlin, in room in the rear end of
the tenement at 304 West Fortieth street,
the hiding place of "Mr. Mulligan," who
of course is never at the Office when in
cern, representing business of thousands
of dollars in the past year, and hundreds of
letters from the dupes Of the concern, were
seized by the detectives, and with them
some of the advertised "Household Sew
ing Machines"
The chief Office of the concern was at
Greenwich and Cortlandt streets, Mulligan
having another at II Nassau street, where
he has been selling sewing machines to the
country folks under the name of Jerome p.
Hudson, and one at 95 Liberty street un-
der the name of George w. Paine. The fac
tory is supposed to be at S36 Canal street,
but there is no factory there. The boys
who were arrested say that they were en-
ployed by the week to address envelopes
containing circulars, and that they are in
.nocent With Mulligan, they are to be
taken to court to-day.
The Household Sewing Machine" is a
worthless toy that is operated by crank,
and is like the old-fashioned domestic cof-
fee mill"
The above is concern that wished to adj
vertise with us, but we thought they were
fraud, and SO declined to have anything
to do with them.

MysteriOus Shooting Of a Lady.

The recent killing of Mrs. Wagner on the
outskirts of Chicago, is one Of the most re-
markable that ever defied police investiga-
tion. While standing at tho front door Of
her daughters house, in broad daylight,
she was struck by bullet, which passed
entirely through her body and then through
a fence-paling. She died in Is minutes af-
ter receiving the wound.
In front Of the house was an open prairie,
with no person in sight save small boy
tending some COWS. When this boy heard
of the killing of Mrs. Wagner he reported
that he had seen two policemen practicing
pistol firing, the mark being the wooden
stringer of the railroad track over ditch.
When hunted up, the policemen aclOnowl-
edged that they had been firing, and that
one of the balls missed the target. The
pistols they used were small pocket-revol-
vers, and, as the ball that killed Mrs. Wag-
neE cannot be found, no comparison OF It
can be made with the calibre Of the weap-
ons.
An extraordinary fact connected with the
case is that the policemen were 600 feet
from the door in which the woman was
standing when shot, which seems to render
it wholly improbable that they are respOn-
sible for her death. 1t is doubtful whether
pocket pistol can carry ball that dis
tanee at any elevation, aud before it can be
even presumed that these officers are guilty
it will have to be proved by actual expert
ment that that particular revolyercan throw
ball the distance mentioned with force
enough to go through human body and Q
board fence.

Pastoral Call Disturbed.

The Brooklyn Argus tells that the Rev.
Mr.. Coddle, having been much impressed
by the suggestion of the New York Herald
that a Sunday school scholar would be the
proper thing for clergyman to have about
his person while visiting his female parish
toner's, took with him his pupil and adopt
ed son, Sam.
While engaged with Mrs. Lillywhite'in in
the back parlor, Samuel took q fancy to in
terviewing the sevres china upon the chin
ney piece. His legs growing nervous and
shaly, they slipped, and so also did an ele-
giant Sevres vase. Mrs. Lillywhite tainted,
the Doctor bore Sam home by the ragged
edges of his roundabout polished him of
thoroughly with an old copy of "Baxter's
Saints Rest, and then sat down and wrote
an article warning clergymen against the
malignant influence of the Herald.

The FavOrIte Home Remedy,
PAIN- K ILLER,

has Deen before the public over Thirty Years, and
probably has wider and better reputatIon than
any other proprietary incidence OF the present day
At this period there are but few unacouainted
with the merits OF the PAIN. KILLER; but while
some exto 1t as liniment, they know but little OF
Its power in easing pain when taken internally;
while others use 1t internally with great success
but are equally ignorant of its healing virtues
when applied externally. We therefore wish to
say to all, that it is equally successful whether
used Internally or externally II is sufficient evil
dence OF its virtues as standard medicine to
know that 1t is now used in all parts of the world.
and that its sale is constantly increasing No Gu.
rative agent has had such a widespread sale or
given such universal satisfaction.
DAVIS PAIN-KJLLER is purely vegetable
compound prepared from the best and purest
materials, and with care that insures the most
perfect uniformity in the medicine; and while 1t
Is most effective remedy for PAIN IL is a perfect
ly SAFE medicine, even in the most unskiful hands.
1t is eminently Family Medicine; and by being
kept ready for immediate resort, will save many
an hour OF suffering, and many dollar in time
and Doctors bills.
After over thirty years trial. 1t is still receiving
the most unqualified testimonials to its virtues.
from persons of the highest character and respon.
slbility. Eminent Physicians commend 1t as a
most eifectual preparation for the extinction of
pain. 1t is not only the best remedy ever known
for Bruises, Cuts Burns, &C.. but for Dysentery,
or Cholera or any sort of bowel complaint, 1t is a
remedy unsurpassed for efficiency, and rapidity of
action. In the great cities Of India and other hot
climates, it has become the standard medicine for
all such complaints, as well as for Dyspepsia,
Liver Complaints, and all other kindred disorders.
For Coughs and Colds, Canker, Asthma, and
Rheumatic difficulties, it has been proved by the
most abundant and convincing testimony to be an
invaluable medicine.
We would caution the public against all imita.
tions Of our preparation, either in name, or style
