ROBBERY.

This morning ST Lung, the proprietor o
laundry on Eighteenth street near Thirt
avenue reported to the police station thai
his establishment had been robbed last
night of some 800 in money and silver
watch. valued at $50. The 'washee man
stated that the money was contained in a
trunk, and that he saw u man at work
rif1ing the contents, but was afraid to
make any disturbance, alth Tough two other
Chinese were asleep in the same room
with him. He described the robber as a
young man without beard, and said the
trunk was carried out of the sleeping room
int the laundry, where the contents were
examined, and the money taken. An in
vestgation of the case leads the police to
discredt the story of the Heather Chinee,
two certificates of deposit and some small
change was found IN the trunk belonging
to ST Lung which were untouched, while
the money belonging to the deceased All
Hin was taken. Another peculiar trans
action was the story that the entrance
of the supposed burglar was gained by
cutting Stat in the blinds. This was so
performed as to render it impossible for
person on the outside to undo the catch and
open the blind, and renders it more proba-
bile that the work was performed by some
one on the inside of the house, and may
have been done to create the impression
that an attempt was made to rob the build
ing It will be remembered that All Hin, the
former proprietor of this laundry, in cele
hrating the Fourth of July received
wound from a toy pistol which superin-
duced lock jaw and resulted in death. Be-
fore his death he had secured the services
of 81 Lung who came down from Chicago.
The estate of All Hin was never taken in
to the probate court but his effects, con-
sisting of some $3.50 in ready money were
kept in trunk at the laundry. In this
same trunk, ST Lung, who assumed charge
of the business, deposited his certificates
of deposit on local bank, and also kept
his ready money. The alleged robber
took $1O4 in bills and $26 in small
change, but left the certificates Of deposit
untouched ST Lung stated this afternoon,
that he failed to lock the blinds last night
and was positive that some one took the
trunk from his sleeping room and made
away with its contents He says he heard
a noise at II o'clock but failed to mention
the fact to his sleeping companion. At 8
O'Clock this morning, he awoke and found
the trunk relieved of its ready money. He
claims that watch belonging to him was
taken. The case will be fully investiga
ted and some developments are expected
within short time.

cept that he came in last night from the
West He says that he doesn't know where
his partner has gone to. 1t was believed
at first that he was implicated in the laun-
dry robbery, but the belief is based On his
having such an amount of small silver in
his possession. No bills were found about
him. The refusal of the pair to halt when
commanded so to do by the police demon
strated that they were crooks" and had
been at work on some criminal business
during the night.

AN ARREST.

This morning at about O'Clock officers
Mitsch and Green, who were standing at
the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth
street, discovered two men coming up the
avenue. They made for them with the in
tention of ascertaining their business.
The two men took to flight, and the officers
followed them. Green commenced firing
and shortly afterwards one of the men gave
himself up. Mitsch followed his man up
as far as Twenty fourth street, discharging
his revolver but without effect, as at the
latter street, the man disappeared and
could not be found. The arrested party
gave his name as Frank Howard. Or
searching him it was found that he had
in his possession about $23 in small change
also some fuses used in blowing up safes
and very handsome gold ring. He re
fused to say anything about himself ex.

A Very Romantic History.

The story of the Countess Benedetti. wife of
the French minister to Prussia, is worth record
ing She was once Greek slave, landed at
Alexandria by Jocosi. the celebrated merchant
of Coustantiuople She had been educated for
salp. and was consequently full of accomplish
ments. One of the wealthest Arab merchants
in Alexandria purchased the girl TO wait upon
bis wife, TO whom he was much attached. The
Greek girl, lively and amusing, diverted the
ennu of the household, and soon became the
ruling spirit.
In the course of time the wife died. and the
aged husband. regrctting that he could not
marry her. adopted her as his child, and the
heir to bis enormous fortune.
At his death tbe former slave inherited his
wealth, and Dencdett. at that time a young
atache belonging to the French Consulate at
Alexandria. happened to present himself to the
heiress, won her affections, and they were mar
ried. The old merchants money enabled
Benediti to cut bis way to a conspicuous posi-
tion in diplomacy, and his wife, lovely and ac-
complished, reigned for long time over the
world of fashion in Paris.

The enterprise, push and progress Of the New
