A Prima Donna OutWitted.

Mr.. Croft is drawing-room car agent
on the Pennsylvania Railroad. He has
distinguished himself, if story told by
the Baltimore Gazette is accurate, by
wonderful self-possession and novelty of
resource in trying moment. Miss Hauk,
the prima donna, on her way to Balti-
more from the West, found on her arri-
val at the station that there was no
drawing-room seat for her, but that she
must ride, if at all, in an ordinary car
She put her foot down decisively, and
declared that she would 60 no further.
This was an unexpected emergency,
and she was to sing in Baltimore that
evening. At this juncture Mr.. Croft
came to the rescue. He stepped forward,
and unblushingly told Miss Hauk that
the car in which accommodation had been
reserved for her had been wrecked in a
frightful disaster. as that SOP said the
singer, relenting> "I swear it," the rail.
road man replied; "and if you will come
to the other end of the depot | will show
you the wreck-the dead and dying have
been removed. Nineteen bodies were
taken from the wreck, and thirty persons
badly wounded" Miss Hauk believed
made no further trouble, but took the
other car.

Outrageous Vandalism.

loprlngHelu hepuOHcal.
The meanest deed probably ever perpe-
trated in Holyoke, Mass, was done Sun
day night at the house of Mrs. Asa Will
ard, of Dwight street. Unknown parties
entered her apartments and mutilated
her personal property with pair of
shears to the extent of about 5000. Three
oil paintings, said to have cost over $3.50
each, were mutilated beyond repair; an
oil portrait of Mrs. Willard's dead child
was cut so that one eye and half the hair
only was left, and the cuttings were
burned in the stove. The sofa covering
was then cut its whole length.
The wretches next pulled Mrs. Will
lard's $175 sealskin cloak from drawer,
making in it no less than nineteen slashes,
besides cutting in two her sealskin muff;
and after hacking into ruin a nicely
trimmed wooden cloak belonging to q
Mrs. Barnes, visitor, they took from an
upstairs closet Mrs. Willard's 500 silk
dress, which was hacked and cut till
ruined. Mrs. Willards infants hood
and cloak were also cut up. The police
and neighbors agree that it was the handi.
work of a woman, and one who must
live in the house. Not thing was stolen,
although jcwelry and other valuables
were exposed, and every act showed ac'
quaintance with the locations, especially
the taking of the dress from the up-stairs
closet, which was opened by key placed
over the door and reached by some shor,
person climbing chair left near the
door.

KleptOnlania Again.

New YORK sun.
An extraordinary trial interested the
spectators in the General Sessions yester-
day. Assistant District Attorney Bell
prefaced it.
Gentlemen of the jury" he said,
"the oath that you have taken is not
often administered in criminal court.
You were called to try Minnie Smith,
the prisoner at the bar, for robbery,
but her counsel has interposed the plea
that she is insane. 1t now becomes your
duty, under your oath, to decide whether
she is sane.
"If you find that she is insane, ofcourse
she is not to be tried for the robbery In
this event she will be taken to an asylum
for the insane and retained there until
her sanity is restored. desire to say
that her mania, if she is insane, appears
to be practice of robbing the Offices of
physicians in their absence. She has
been imprisoned, under the name of
Helen Miller for an otiense of this kind,
and yet, on the Sth Of January, only Il
short time after her release, as alleged,
she stole an overcoat, valued at SAT, from
DIR. James B. Leaning of No. 100 West
Twenty-third street, and, on the Sd ult.,
one hundred dollars worth of surgical
instruments from DR.. Chas. Milner of 208
East Forty-sixth street. 1t is for the lat
ter ofense that she may be tried if your
verdict is that she is sane"
DR.. Hardy, City Physician, testified
that Miss Smith was taken to the City
Prison few months ago from the Asy-
lum for Insane Criminals at Auburn.
The officer who accompanied her had
letter from DR.. Mcdonald, the Medical
Superintendent of the Asylum, to the ef-
feet that Miss Smith had been taken
there from State Prison, and that, as her
term Of imprisonment was nearly ended,
be deemed it his duty to send her back
to this county, in which she was con
victed and sentenced. DR.. Mcdonald
suggested that Miss Smith be taken care
of, because it was probable that she
might repeat the oftense of which she
had been convicted. DR.. Hardy sent her
to Blackwelps Island, and he does moi
know how she obtained her release. In
his opinion she is utterly unable to re
strain her propensity to steal from ply
sicians' Offices.
'Do you know" Mr.. Bell inquired
"that there is still another phase of he
alleged insanity-that she sells what sh
! steals from physicians offices and put

The Archbishop's Affairs.

Yesterday afternoon the Trustees held a
meeting, and decided to make public the
statement OF their labors. The substance
of the report is as follows; The Trustees
have received and passed on claims to the
number of 5000, aggregating 1881 ,643 02.
To this must be added $117 ,000 which the
Archbishop owes to various banks, which
makes the total liabilities about $685.
643 90. The value of the property assigned
yesterday, which comprises nearly all the
Archbishop's assets. is estimated to be
worth $459,000 The Trustees estimate that
during the past ten years the Archbishop
has paid interest on deposits amounting to
$545, $50 90, and that during the past forty
years the compound interest he has paid
will equal his present liabilities.
