BLACKMAILING N.NEW YORK.

A Talk With Inspect n Byrnes About it,
Does the punishment Of crime prevent
its recurrence"
well, said Inspector Byrnes, who had
just effected the capture of the man Welies
who had threatened the life of Mr.. jay
Gould, Il can answer yes and no to that
question. That it does not, the casual OBJ.
server OF affairs is led to believe by the
consideration of the many cases, such as
one for which Welles was arrested, which
have occurred in this city within the past
few months. / mean instances which are
known to every one, and which, at the time,
attracted widespread notoriety. 1t has
been only short time since Rev. DR.. Nor
gan DIX was prosecuted by blackmailer.
This man was arrested, convicted and SEN
fenced. and died shortly after entering Sing
Sing prison. Within the current year the
blackmailer Sagert was shot dead in Lex
ington avenue. This fellow was after $780,
600. you remember, reatening if the
money was not quietly handed him to steal
the child Of the father from whom he de-
manded the money"
"The punishment" the inspector con-
tinued, (which followed both these crimes
was swift. If the punishment did not pre-
vent the recurrence of the crime it stayed
it for time"
"A gentleman who is connected with a
very large corporation" the inspector said,
"came to me one day with Il big bundle of
letters. These letters I have received,
threatening me with exposure of improper
conduct with some Of the young women in

son who, If do not give the money, is to
make her accusations known
"Well. sent a boy to his Office with in
structions, and located two detectives few
doors from the place. In the afternoon
the boy, who was known to tho detectives,
came from the office following the woman.
The detectives shadowed both away up
town until the woman met a we'll. dressed
lady. While they stood conv ersing the de-
tectives arrested them, and who do you
think they were' The blackmailer was the
sister Of the wife Of the mans mos! init
mate friend. That evening, when I ques-
toned him, he spoke very highly Of his
friend and wife. To the question, DO
you know the womans sister?' he replied:
Very we'll; an estimablo woman
"'Would you think her guilty of persecut-
ing you?
"'Oh, no"
Il opened the door of my room, and,
pointing to her, said:
Yet she is the person. There was a

PRESIDENT HOOD.
To this young man the multltudes who throng
Pen Mar throughout the summer owe thanks not
only for making the place one of the most desir-
able resorts, but for placing within their reach so
much for SO small sum. The fare is exceedingly
low each passenger gets seat, and arriving at
PEN Mar Is taken to High Rock two miles for the
small sum of twenty cents. Since Tom Scott's
death Hood stands unriyaed as a railroad man
agcr He regards the public as his friend and
patron, to be dealt with honestly, not as
his enemy, to be treated unfairly. He
has none of the bluffness or blustel
so disgusting in many railroad officials, who
imagine that the graces of gentleman are less ol
a desideratum than the suriness of a boor Under
his management the Western Maryland Railroad
has been eminently successful, He has made II q

PROGRESS OF TEMPERANCE.

town-Numerous sIgners.
Last Saturday night gave striking evil
dence that the work commenced week ago In
Georgetown by Bud Eaglcston in the cause Of
temperance is destined to be crowned with a sue
cess exceeding even that which rewarded his re.
cent great triumph on Capitol Hill. A pathetic
and effective address was delivered on the occa.
sion indicated by Judge W. II. Howard, a member
of Pioneer Council, Sons Of Jonadab, appealing
especially to the attention of the young men and
imprcssing upon them the significant fact that
upon their sobricty depends not alone their own
future usefulness aud worth as citizens, but alike
that Of the integrity, honor, power and perpe.
tuity of the Nation. At the close of Mr.. How
ards appeal party of some six or eight
gentlemen stepped forward from among the
audience and "sgned the pledge" amid the
heartiest cheering Of all present, The demonstra
ton was unusually emphatic and expressive, and
suggested to :" Bud" and his friends upon the
stand that the gentlemen who had just signed must
be citizens Of prominence and popularity. And
such, indeed, proved to be the fact, for II soon de-
veloped that the gentlemen referred to are old and
highly respectable wealthy citizens Of Georgetown,
whose daily patronage OF certain big hotel there
almost supports II, 1t may be said, then that the
enlistment OF these gentlemen into the Cold
Water Army" is a triumph of the highest i'm.
portanCe, as not only the many men IN their i'm.

thereby, but so will many others also
