How a Minister Outwitted a Street
Car Piokpooket.

In New York the other day Rev.
Chas. A. Stoddard, one Of the editors
of the New York Observer, aud his
wife, MIS-. Mary 2. Stoddard, who re-
side at One Hundred and. Fifty fifth
street and Tenth avenue. were riding
down town in stage of the Thirty
third Street line from the Thirtieth
street depot Of the Hudson River rail
road While turning the corner Of
Ninth avenue and Twenty third street,
man who had been seated beside
Mrs. Stoddard got up suddenly and
hurriedly left the stage. When he
was almost cut of sight man sitting
opposite winked at Mrs. Stoddard,
and, pointed at the man who had Left
the stage, said, MADAM, that man has
got your pocket.bo Mrs. Stod
dard then found that her pocket book,
containing $40 and al unset amethyss,
had disappeared. Mr.. Stoddard who
was seated opposite to his wife, did
not make any movement to pursue the
supposed theft, but closely watched
the man who bad given the informa-
ton. Under the scrutiny the man
became very uneasy, and at Eighth
avenue left the stage. Mr. Stoddard
followed him. He walked leisurely at
first, but finding that he was being
followed he quickened his pace into
run. Mr.. Stoddard ran after him !.
and the fugitive, discovering that he
was closely pressed, threw away q
pocket book, which subsequently prov
ed to be the pocket book of Mrs. Stod-
dard, with its contents intact. Patrol
man Madden, of the Sixteenth pre-.
cinct. joined in the pursuit and sue
ceeded in arresting the fugitive. Oa
being taken to the station.house he
gave his name as Walter Brown, and
was recognized as an adroit pick -pock-
ct, whose portrait is in the Rognes'
Gallery at police headquarters. Brown
was subsequently ariaigned at the
Washington Place police court, and
comuitted for trial in default of g.
900 bail. 1t was apparent that the
man who sat beside Mrs. Stoddard
was confederate of Brown and stole
the pocket book. In leaving the stage
be passed it to Brown, who, when his
confederate had proceeded far enough
to make his capture doubtful, inform
ed Mrs. Stoddard that she had been.
robbed, hoping that the lady would
leave The stage and pursue the thief,
and thus give him an opportunity 20
escape with the booty. This adroit
scheme was frustrated by the pre-
sence of mind and selfpossession of
Mr.. Stoddard and wife.

Lawyer and Thief.

Some time ago, while a lawyer was
attending court in an interior county,
he was applied to by singular speci-
men of humanity, charged with grand
larceny, to defend him. The lawyer
very naturally inquired what crime he
was accused of. The accused replied
that somebody had been mean enough
to charge him with stealing $3.50 in
bills and got him indicted.
"Are you guilty ?" asked the law
yer,
"That's mono of your business" re-
piled the accused. "They say that
makes no difference with you, wheth-
er man is guilty or not, you will
contrive to dig him out some way. So,
don't talk any more about guilt till
you hear what the jury says.
"Well, what about the pay?" said
the lawyer.
"You just hold on till the trial is
over; give K-(the complainant)
fits on the cross examination and that
other fellow he has got to back him
up, and you'll have no more trouble
a,out the pay"
The trial commenced, and proved
to be a somewhat protracted one. The
District Attorney, proved that the
money in question was composed of
two fifty dollar bills on a certain bank,
and the remainder all in ten dollar
bills, all of which were wrapped up in
peice of oiled silk. The jury after
listening to the counsel in the case
and receiving the charge of the judge,
retired, aud soon returned with a YER
dict of not guilty. The accused, who
was greatly elated over the result Of
the trial and the effort Of his counsel,
invited the latter iuto one Of the va
cant iury-rooms. AS soon as they
were alone he slapped his counsel on
the shoulder and exclaimed f:
Free as water, aintI? What's the
use of trying a man for stealing when
you are around? Now ! suppose you
want your pay"
"Yes, have you got anything to pay
with ?'' said the lawyer.
"Lend me your knife and We'll see
about that"
The lawyer, slightly startled at such
proposition, rather reluctantly com.
piled. The accused Immediately com
menced ripping and cutting away at
the waistbaud of his pantaloons, and
soon produced the roll of bills for the
stealing of which he had just been
tried, wrapped up in the identical
piece of oiled silk described by the
witness for the prosecution, and throw.
ing it down on the table before the
astonished lawyer, exclaimed:
"There take your pay out of that
guess there is enough there to pay you
tolerably we'll,
"What, you villain you stole that
money after ALL" said the lawyer
"Do you expect me to take any Of
that stolen money ?"
"Stole that moAey! Why, what
are you talking about! Didn't them
twelve men up stairs just say didn't
steal it? What's the use Of your try
ing to raise a question of conscience
after twelve respectable men have Civ
en- their opinion on the subject? TAKE
your pay out of that and ask no ques
tions. Don't be modest in taking ;,
got it easy enough, and you've work
ed hard enough for it,"
The chap didn't have much chang'
left after the lawyer had satisfied hi
conscience in the premises.

DeplOrahIe Case of Poverty.

The Miners Journal of Pottsville says
The other day man entered a grocery
store on Centre street and asked to be
trusted to sack of flour. AS he owed a
large bill already he was refused further
credit. He begged for it, but was still
refused. Going out he picked up sack
that was near the door, put it under his
arm and took it home. The grocer swore
out warrant against him, and had it
placed in the hands of constable. The
officer went to the house, and on being
admitted found the family sitting around
the sack and eating the dry flour with
spoons. Without saying word he re-
turned to the grocery and offered to pay
for the flour himself, stating at the same
time what he had seen. The grocer
would not take the money rendered him,
but made up good sized basket of pro-
visions and sent them to the poor man IS
house. The man has since found en-
ployment.
