tOdy of detectives to procure bail.
A conscientious Defaalter.

America stated to-day that no new develop

Arrest of a Noted Character
Anthony A. Comstock, Chief Special
Agent of the Society for the. Suppression of
Vice, yesterday afternoon arrested Ann
Lohnan alias Madame Restell, at her man
sion, corner of Fifty-second street and
Fifth avenue. Two complaints were made
against her, one for selling powders de
signed to produce abortion, and another for
selling mechanical contrivances for improp-
er use. Mr.. Comstock at once notified the va
rious newspaper offices and large number
of reporters assembled at Court to witness
the arraignment of the prisoner, who was
very richly dressed. Comstock said when
he made the arrest the wife of a prominent
citizen was consulting with Madame Res
tell in the reception room.
| The prisoner said she was confident she
would be acquitted of the charge made
and asked to be admitted to bail pending
| the examination. Justice Kilbreath de-
| cided not to admit bail pending examina-
ton. Restell then waived examination
and said she hoped bail would be reasona-
BILE. The Judge said the penalty in each
case was $1,000 and two years imprison-
ment on conviction. He fixed the bail at
5000 in each case Restell said she could
not procure such heavy bail at moments
notice, and offered to place in the hands of
the Court $4,000 in United States five
| twenty bonds as security, for her appear
ance when called for. The Judge refused
and madam sent messengers to friends to
furnish her bail. These efforts proved un-
successful and at o clock madam was sent
| to the Tombs, whit ler she was driven in
her own private carriage instead OF the
prison van.
That Congress of Beauty and Cili-
ture.
| New York, Feb. f2.-The Tribune SAYS:
OF all the exhibitions which Gilmores Gar
den has offered for the entertainment of
the public, the Congress of Beauty and Gull
ture which commenced yesterday was pro-
nounced by those who attended it to be the
extreme of vulgarity and folly. The limit
of possibilities in shows of the baby and cat
variety was reached before Benjamin W.
Hitchcock conveyed the idea of Congress
of one thousand beautiful and talented la
dies This attracted last evening four or
five thousand men to Giimore's Garden,
which they converted into pandemonium
of ridicule and rude sport. When the Con-
gress was called to order at o'clock in the
| afternoon Mr. Hitchcock had already ex-
pressed his disgust at the prospect of fail
ure observable on every hand. The i'm
mense array of beautiful and talented la
dies to use his own language, had failed to
appear, and they were waiting, he thought
to see what encouragement the newspapers
would give the enterprise.
There were, however, between forty and
| fifty young women and girls in tawdry or
very plain attire, ranged ON platforms and
in boxes, Or fortified by tables used for the
sale of sheet music and valentines. If one
of them secretly entertained any claim to
beauty or even prettlneSs, IL was case OF
misplaced vanity. On an average they were
several degrees beneath the poorer class of
shop girls in point of looks and refinement
A dozen perhaps appeared to be too good
for their surroundings and probably were
in need of the pitiable salary and the pos
sible prize which the show offered them
The majority were simply light-hearted
girls who giggled but scarcely blushed un-
der the scrutiny of jeering men. A few
matrons were in Che ranks so plain in
features and so sedate that they were not
annoyed. Several of the young women
were evidently of an immoral character
