INGENIOUS MATR1MoNY.

Benjamin Treat Mapes, if all the charges
alleged against him are true, is very inge-
NOUS marrying scoundrel. He married
Miss Harriet Flynn Jenkins in New York
last August, and has already deserted her
and gone into retirement of single blessed
ness, where he cannot be traced. The de-
scription of his pereon calls wildly to mind
one II. b. Martin, who, in 1877, performed
slippery matrimonial feat with great address
and dexterity, and Mapes and Martin are be-
lleyed to be one. A Southern family
residing in New York we're about to
remove and advertised for place
as q governess or companion for a
young girl who had been living with them
and in whom they had an interest. They
received letter from Hartford, purporting
to be from Mrs. Helen Kingsley, who
wanted a companion to travel with her to
help her take care of an invalid brother.
Ihe girl accepted the position at salary
that was satisfactory. place of meetino
Mrs. Kingsley was fixed upon, and the Girl
had to travel some distance alone to get to
the place. When she got there she did not
ind Mrs. Kingsley but the invalid brother
IN waiting. Mrs. Kingsley was somewhere
else awaiting them. The invalid brother and
the girl went by boat. On the boat the in
aid Wasseized with spasm and had to re :
tire to his state-room. It became
the girls duty to put mustard
plasters upon him. This she did and
was early broken into her position as nurse.
At the place designated Mrs. Kingsley did
not appear, but the invalid brother got
letter signed Mrs. Judge Kingsley, and ex-
cuslng herself for not putting in an appear
ance on the plea of sickness, and charging
the new companion to take the best care of
her brother, who was subject to cramps, and
liable to be attacked by them at any mo-
ment: The girl could not leave sick man
OF whom she had taken charge, away from
nome and friends, SO she continued to travel
with him and apply mustard plasters to his
cramps, which he had very frequently.
SO they travelled to Buffalo, and
to Jamestown, Ohio, where the
invalid said he had large estates.
He showed the girl his property and asked
her to marry him. This she refused to do
until their return to New York, where the
invalid brother married his caretaker. Verv
soon he left for Northampton, Mass, to re-
turn IN three days and embark with his wife
for Europe. He did not return, and never
has returned. Then another Kingsley let
ter came stating that the absent husband
was very sick, and telling the deserted wife
that II she did not get another letter she
might know that he was dead. She did not
get another letter of course-and that is the
way d. b. Martin got rid of his wife. All
the circumstances point to Mapes and Martin
being one. Down with Washburn and the

A DisreputabIe Woman.

There's no use of kicking against the
pricks, thought Mrs. E. A. Bates. So yester-
day, when her name was called in the munlci-
pal court, she withdrew her plea of not
guilty, and confessed that her feet took hold
on hell. The court, adjudged her q com
mon prostitute and fined her the usual
amount assessed against this class, 500. The
police are willing to swear she is an
uncommon prostitute. She has been
procuress of the worst type. She
has procured and prostituted young girls.
Hers has been rendezvous for
those, to all but the initiated, who are re-
spectacle. If not able to supply the demand,
she offered her daughter as sacrifice to her
lust for money. A few years ago she came
to this city pauper; to-day, she can faunt
her silks in the face of virtue. During all
these years she has defied detection,
having powerful patrons, and has
accumulated wealth on the sale of
souls to ruin. Undoubtedly an un-
common prostitute, and one so dangerous,
that Mayor Dawson has ordered her cigar
shop to be closed up. Down with Wash

BURGLARY.
A Grocery Store Entered, but Small Game

A Grocery Store Entered, but Small Game
Secured.
Thursday night burglary was committed
in this city. Thomas Manning's grocery
store, No. 100 Jackson street, was the scene
of the midnight operations. Fortunately,
the operatives did not make much of haul.
They forced an entrance through the back
door. A knife was used to cut off strip of
the door, and then knife blade or wire was
inserted, and the hook fastening the door
was lifted from the hasp. Gaining entrance,
they seem to have rummaged around among
the stock, but took nothing but few cans
of oysters. The't till was tapped, and there
they found about $5 in nickels and other
small change. The indications are that the
burglars were amateurs, and even suspicion
has pointed out two or three, as the actors
and accomplish in the n 'ght adventure. But
as proof positive, as yet, cannot be fixed
against them, they are allowed rope enough,
this time, to hang themselves ultimately.
Hence the saying, down with Washburn and

stated he was urging his business forward as

Some persons are always seeing ghosts.
The latest cause Of alright to the hypo-
chondriacs is the appearance Of a new chief
at the head of the Bureau of Elections in
the Police Department. An active republic
can politician retires from the Custom
House, where he has filled the Office of
weigher at salary of twenty-five hundred
dollars year, and is appointed by his po-
litical friends to place under the Police
Commission at FIVE thousand dollars n year,
and straightway there is conspiracy be-
tween Tammany and the republicans; the
ballot boxes are to be stuffed, the election
returns falsifed and the city divided up
between Roscoe Conkling and John Kelly.
1t is true that the position bestowed on the
ex-weigher was vacant by reason Of tho
expiration of his predecessors term of
office; that the former chief Of the Election
Bureau is resident of Brooklyn, and that
his successor was born and has always lived
in New York considerations which might
reasonably account 10 ordinary minds for
the change. But the ghost-seers are not
ordinary people, and they insist on regard
ing the new chief of the Election Bureau as
q raw head and bloody bones whose pres
ence, like that of Banquo at the feast, is
any thing but agreeable.
It will be seen from the interview with

Where is Kearney-he Of California, who
left the Pacific coast week ago in palace
car, and who has been anxiously looked for
by the oppressed workingmen along the
route? Speeches of cheer and welcome
have awaited him, but he has not appeared
to receive them. Transparencies and ban
ners have been painted in all colors of the
rainbow, but small boys have not yet had
the chance to throw stones at tn EN-. Has
capital spirited him away as he approached
the Nevada bonanzas, or has some clique of
bloated bondholders farther East dealt
foully with him? The question rises from
the level of individual safety to the dignity
of n national affair. Kearney is not merely
man; he is on apostle Of something or
other, and while the East is overstocked
with the ordinary run of apostles and
prophets, one who can and does pay his
own railroad fares, and on palace car toe,
is rara avis, and we all want to see him.
If, as is imagined by some, Mr.. Kearney's
modesty has impelled him to stop over,
change his train, and thus avoid observa-
ton, we want to say to him, as friend.
that this sort of thing will never do. He
aspires to be n leader, and thousands of
workingmen insist that he shall be one; but
if he would succeed he must first realize
that modesty is the most deadly vice to
which he can yield himself He had better
get over this weakness even before he
reaches Boston, for they are SO utterly I'M
used to that style of politician in the Bay
State that they might forcibly remove him
from his boots and place some native
therein.

is one thing more than another which takes
from the interest of public contests at the
oar it is frequent postponements, and In
country with SO many fine stretches OF water
it is astonishing how few courses there are
on which the rowers may almost always
be sure of racing water, and of that even
more important thing-good practice water.
England's narrow streams make her better
OF in this respect, and her races are gener-
ally rowed at the time appointed. But the
bends and currents of her streams tell
greatly against fair racing, and if we have
lakes SO sheltered as to insure smooth wa
ter the racing should be had on them. for
they have neither tide nor current. All the
week, while it was so rough at Watkins, the
Owasco people say their lake was smooth
and in fine order for rowing and the same
was doubtless the fact elsewhere. Care,
too, should be taken to set the hour late in
the afternoon, so that the breeze of the
afternoon shall, as is so usual in the sum.
mer, have died away. and SO make all the
conditions of the race as even and fair %
possible.

OIL stoves.

An inquest on woman killed by the ex-
plosion of an ''oil stove" has given promi-
nence to the opinions of some judges of
these contrivances Of which the public
should take notice. Could these utensils
be so constructed as to be absolutely safe
it is evident that they would be articles of
the greatest value to many families but
more particularly to the families that oc-
cupy small apartments in tenement
houses. Where family lives in perhaps
two rooms life is scarcely more than
endurable when the rooms reach such q
temperature as is given by the heat Of the
day: but in one of these rooms fire must
be kindled to prepare the family meals, and
the addition thus made to the heat is often,
perhaps, direct cause of death; conse-
quently lamp stove. that concentrated
from the flame of little kerosene just
enough heat to boil the coffee or tea and do
other light cooking, must be a great boon,
and could scarcely be more desirable for
economy than for comfort But, from the
opinions given by experts on the inquest to
which we refer, it is to be apprehended that
none of these stoves are safe, and that an
explosion is always imminent where one of
them is in use.
