ARREST OF "A THIEF.



VIM Rexroth is tramp book binder,
vino about week ago ObtaiEcd employ
ment at W. II. Roy's bindcry, South
Queen street. Yesterday he was paid off,
bid Mr.. Roy and his men good. by, and
said he was going to Harrisburg. This
morning about II O'Clock, Mr.. Roy dis
covered that his gun q valuable brecch-load
ing Remington, had been stolen. and n
further investigation showed that y num-
ber of his tools, and about Il half pack of
gold leaf were also missing. ReXrnth was
suspected of being the thief, and Mr.. Roy
at once gave notice to that effect to the
mayor, and procured a team and sent it
to the several toll-gates outside
the city to ascertain if 10 had passed
through them. Meantime, the several
hotels were visited and RexrOth was found
in the bar-room of the Black Horse hotel
very drunk. Mr.. G. NJ. Zahm, Mr.. Roy's
father-in-law, requested Special Police
man Gensemcr to arrest him, telling him
that he had robbed house last
night but the officer refused to
make the arrest because he had
no warrant. Mr. Zahm then attempted to
arrest Rexroth himself, but Mr.. Slough,
proprietor of the hotel, refused to allow
him to do so, and as is alleged pushed Mr..
Zahm Off with some violence, Meantime
Officer Harman had gone to get a warrant
for RexrOth's arrest, but before he put in
an appearance Officer Eicholtz and Dstec-
tive Sprechcr appeared, and without a
warrant, and took RexrOth into custody,
Notwithstanding Mr.. Slough's opposition
and protestation that Rcxroth was not
out of the house since yesterday afternoon,
being too drunk to go ont. The officers
with great crowd followIn. at their heels
took Rexroth to Alderman Spurrier's
Office. The gold-leaf, the tools. and some
of the cartridges were found in his posses
sion, but the gun was not recovered. He
was committed liz default of bail for !;
hearing on Saturday.
Mr.. Zahm entered suit against AIr. John
Slough for assault and battery, and Mr..
Slough protests that lie was only endeavor-
ing to protect ono of his guests, whom he
believed to be innocent from what he be-
lieved to be an Illegal arcs. He entered |
bail for a hearing.
The arrest of RcxrOth ritAoM & warrant |
while he was under the the surveillance Of
a special officer and others who were
awaiting the appearance OF another officer
'eiN a warrant. causes much comment
some maintaining that the arrest was
clearly illegal, and others that EichoItz
and Sprecher acted exactly right. Per-
laps the case, before it is ei.lsd, will af-
ford an opportunity OF determining how
lar officers may go in ;:rresting, without
persons suspected of crime.
It is not known positively how Rexroih
,ame into possession of the property, but
t is believed that, being we'll acquainted
With the premises, he effected an entrance
Trough the front basement window, and
,aving stolen the property, left the build
ng the same way.

Last night about o. o'clock the box fac
tory OF Messrs. F. A. Weiser & Son, on
Gas alley, east of George street, in the
borough of York, was partially
burned. The fire is supposed to
have been caused by an incendiary.
The contents of the building were valu-
able, both in machinery and materials, all
of which, together with the building, were
almost totally destroyed. The boiler and
engine are uninjured, that part of the fac
tory, situated against the west end of the
building, fortunately, escaping the ravases
Of the flames.

terday, at No. 33 Eldridge street, New
| York, and afterwards shot himself
through tho temple, blowing out his
brains. Jealousy of the young man, who
he believed sustained tho relations
| OF accepted lover towards his wife, is
thought to have been the reason for the
| crime, though Memeroth. who had long
been sick, was undoubtedly out Of his
mind when the shooting took place, Mem
eroth pursuing his victim into the yard in
the rear. Pauly was taken to Bellevue
hospital fatally wounded, four bullets be-
ing in his body. In Memeroth's pockets
were found some letters and poetry signed
Your faithful and loving Emil" which
We're supposed to have been sent to Meme
roth's wife, and were the cause of the
tragedy. The dying man and the murderer
V,le both German wood carvers and native q
vi Berlin. Prussia, where MemerOth's vile
had been brought up from childhood with
Pauly in the same house. Mcmeroth and
his wife did not live in unity together,
and separation of six months was the
result, but reconciliation was brought
about and then came emigration. Mis-
trusting their sOn-in- law, Mrs. MemerOth's
parents made Pauly promise them solemn
ly before they started on the voyage that
he would protect their daughter always,
come what might. Since their arrival in
this city the family have lived together on
the second floor Gf the tenement house
No. 33 Eldridge street.
Memeroth was suffrring from disease
of the heart, which seemed to affect his
head, when he would become exceedingly
violent, to the great terror of his wife.
Monday night he was particularly morose
and spoke angrily to his wife and board
ers. In the morning Pauly went to his
work AMI MemerOth stayed at home.
Toward noon he went out with his FIVE
year-old boy, and stopping at a hardware
store purchased heavy nickel-plated re-
volver and a quantity Of cartrid gcs. He
put them in his pocket aud warned the
boy particularly to say nothing to any
one about it.
Then he led the boy to the shop where
Pauly was working, when the three went
to No. 35 Eldridgc street to dinner. Mrs.
Mameroth had arranged to 60 out with |
her husband Dinner over, the party pro-
ceeded down stairs. As they emerged |
from the hallway Memeroth drew the pis-
tol and with a fierce exclamation sprang
upon his boarder and fired it in his face.
The bullets struck him in the face. Pauly
staggered back but bullet after bullet.
fired by MemerOth, struck him. breaking
his arm in two places and penetrating. his
side. He then ran up the street pursued
~ Memeroth, and in the rear alley at No
II Eldridge street he discharged the pistol
raight at Pauly's head, who fell to tire
ground. Memeroth then pus the pistol to
his own temple and fired, blowing out his
brains and falling dead. !:

As for any bargain between the presi-
dent and Malone beyond the basket of
flowers sent him yesterday, there are Re-
publican members Of Congress from Vir-
ginia who have something to say and will
insist Oh saying it. Two of them have al
ready openly threatened that if such a
bargain were made On the basis of federal
patronage in that state they would vote
with the Democrats to organize the
House. They will go to any extreme to
prevent Malone from realizing OH his in
vestment. 1t may be, after all. that the

Value of Character.

Mr.. w. II. Baldwin recently deliv.
cred an address before body of young
men in Brookline, Massachusetts,, which
is especially valuable on account of the
speakers long association with the in
terests OF young people.
The brave young man" said the
speaker, is the one who stands boldly
up in the presence of companions and
positively refuses to do that which his
conscience tells him is wrong, when
tempted as so many young men are, and
80 very often. He is the brave young
man who has the courage to say no, OF
to say yes, decisions which shall be at
the same time based upon the prompt
action of his God-given conscience, the
great guide and dictator which God has
80 kindly given to each and every child
of his creation.
"The coward is the young man who
can not, or rather does not, stand the
pressure of evil companions, or friends
VINO tempt and urge him. and who
though he knows what is right, il
weak, has not the moral courage he
should possess--in fact, he is coward
"Abrahsm Lincoln was once called
upon to address some young people
He responded to the call, but said he
would not attempt to give them an ad
dress, but rather short sermon. The
sermon was as follows: Don't swear
don't gamble, don't lie, don't cheat
don't steal, don't drink, don't smoke
don't chew; love God aud man, and b.
happy"

All things pure and frail and fair,

some Two or tire, months ago, had boy
about two years old that Ia suffered for d
year with severe eruption on the head and
face, caused by teetning. The child was IN
such misery that it would often be awakened
out of sleep by the severe itching. He
would then scratch his head and face until
the blood ran from the scabs. We tried
everything We could find, but nothing
seemed to give any permanent relief until
We tried PHOSPHATE SOAP. Before we
had used one cake, tue child's head and face
were entirely healed, and there he's been no
