ELIZIBETH'S ELOPEMENT.
A Lively Tilt Between Counsel In the Trial
OF RepplIer for Larceny.

ELIZABETH, n. j., June 3.-Harry Rep
plier the married man who eloped a few weeks
ago with Miss Lizzie Hotchkiss and was cap
tured in Philadelphia. was the cause of lively
scene in the court room to-day. Reppier's ar
rest resulted in a civil suit and for his appear
ance he furnished 5000 bail. He was also in
dicted for grand larceny tor having stolen Jew
ery belonging to Miss Hotchkisss father. In
the trial OF the latter case to-day there was
wrangle among the lawyers. Prosecutor Fay
called several witnesses but only one appeared.
The Prosecutor said that most Of the witnesses
were residents Of Philadelphia, and it was
doubtful whether they would testify. lie want
ed the counsel for the defendant to admit that
Miss Hotchkiss had taken the jewelry at the de-
fendants persuasion, that he might realize
money on II 10y pawnng II.
Mr.. English. the defendants counsel, refused
10 make any such admissions.
Tho Prosecutor then refused TO move the
case in the present term. ALVEY time followed.
The dcirndaut's counsel accused the Prosecutor
of bringing his client 10 this city and locking
him IN without the least show Of legality. and
alleged that the crime, II il WIS such, WAS Miss
Ilotchkiss's offence. not the Defendants. and
that the Prosecutor never Intended calling the
case this term. and would put credible witnesses
on the stand to prove what he had said.
The Prosecutor denied the allegations.
Judge Mccormick instructed the Prosecutor
TO TX the day q trial IN tns term; The Prose

Judge Mccormick replied that he would not
permit the Court to hr trifed with. and he dis
charged the prisoner on his own recugni2ance.
It's generally believed that Reppier will forfeit
Miss Hotchkiss ever since her return. has
suffered from hysteria, and her nervous sys-
tenn has sustained such a severe shock that II is
doubted whether she will ever be fully restored

Circumstantial Evidence Curious
Cases.

The old controversy which has so long
agitated the public mind, whether direct
or circumstantial evidence may the more
safely be depended on, still continues.
Elementary writers and jurists maintain
that in both civil and criminal cases, cir
cumstances alone often lead to a conclu-
sion far more satisfactory than direct evil
dence can produce. But laymen do not
very generally concur in this view. Es.
peCially do they doubt whether it is ever
justitiable to take human life on evidence
which is all circumstantial, and at this
very time a great effort is being made 10
secure the CommutatiOn of sentence of
death soon to be executed on a prisoner
in this State, the sole ground of the move
ment being that the conviction was based
entirely upon circumstances, without any
direct proof.
Slight circumstances, put together,
sometimes seal suspected persons doom.
On recent criminal trial where the de-
fendant was convicted and sentenced to
fifteen months imprisonment, a principal
point in the circumstantial evidence
against him was that the footmarks in
the mud about the place where the of.
fense was committed exactly correspond
ed with the nails in his shoes, from which
there was one nail missing.
In a case of arson in Massachusetts,
the perpetrator of the crime was detected
in very singular manner. He hired
horse and wagon, and drove distance of
fourteen miles, on a rainy night, to set
fire to the house of an old couple who had
some time previously refused him their
daughter in marriage. In the night the
weather cleared off cold, and the mud
froze stiff, so that the tracks of the horse
could be very distinctly traced in the
morning.
1t happened that the animal, in conse-
queHce of cracked hoof, had been shod
in peculiar way on one foot; one of the
corks was turned lengthwise, instead of
being made in the usual manner, at right
angles with the heel of the shoe. This
popularity led to the conviction of the
prisoner. He was sentenced to be hanged,
but the punishment was afterwards com
muted to imprisonment for life.
In another case murderer who shot his
victim was detected by finding that an
unconsumed paper wad from the gun
with which the shooting was done, sup.
piled missing piece of newspaper in
the prisoners possession. BY such cir.
cumstances, trivial in themselves, great
crimes are often proven.-N. Y. Ledger.

A Sad Ending.

For years Beau Brummel was the lead
er Of London fashionable society; but
his spendthrift habits brought him to
poverty, and his last days are thus de-
scribed by writer in Chambers Journal: :
A poor neglected imbecile is living in
squalid lodgings at Calais. 1t is scarcely
possible to recognize in this unhappy be-
ing the once gay and elegant Beau Brum-
mel, the glass of fashion and mould of
form to the men and women of his gener-
alton, whom he ruled with the despOtism
of an autocrat. Yet this is the poor Beau
and no other.
He is holding phantom reception.
Having desired his attendant to arrange
his apartment, set out the whist tables
and light the candle, alas! only tallow,
he is ready at eight o'clock to receive
the guests which the servant, previously
instructed, now announces.
First comes the Duchess 6f Devonshire.
On hearing her name, the Beau leaves
his chair, and with the courtliest bow, the
only reminiscence Of his departed glory,
he advances to the door and greets the
phantom duchess with all the honor that
he would have given the beautiful Geor-
giana.
He takes her hand and leads her to a
seat, saying, as he does So "Ah, my dear
duchess, how rejoiced | am to see you
So very amiable of you to come at this
short notice. Pray bury yourself in this
armchair. Do you know it was the gift
to me of the Duchess of York, who was
a very kind friend Of minel--but, poor
thing, you know she is no more"
At this point tears of idiocy would fall
from his eyes, and he would sink into the
armchair himself, awaiting the arrival of
other guests, who, being duly announced,
