The CONDITION Of MISS scott.

The condition Of Miss Annie Scott,
who attempted to commit suicide on
Tuesday last, was much better this
morning, although she is still very
weak from the effects of the drug. She
does not seem to be cognizant of the
deed which she has done but imagines
she has been i'll for some time. Yester-
day her condition was critical. She
had two spasms during the day and
passed q restless night last night. DR..
Burwell is the physician in charge and
under his skillful treatment the girl
will probably recover. The only cause
that can be assigned for the rash act is
q disappointment in love affair.

CAPE MAY, August 9.
Yesterday, on commitment made
out by the Mayor of the city, an En-
glish couple, giving the name Of Will
liams, were sent to the County Prison
at Cape May Court House, to await
trial on charge Of picking pockets,
the information being entered by Mr..
Burr, of Philadelphia. TIE method of
operating pursued by the parties, ac-
cording to Mr.. BLrr's: testimony,
was peculiar. On Friday even
ing last about dusk he was walking
along the beach near theStocktonH House
when he was met by the woman, who
Is petite and pretty, and under the pre-
tence ofhaving lost her way she enlist
ed the sympathies of Mr.. Burr, who 10
q gallant bachelor, and got him to walk
with her to the Stockton House where
she said she was stopping. They came
to pretty cottage, which afterward
turned out to be that Of George d. Nc
Creary Of PhilRdelphia, the gate of
which stood invitingly open, and the
woman informed her unsuspecting es.
cort that she was staying there.
She stopped inside the gate and when
about to take leave of Mr.. Barr sudden
ly pretended she was seized by . spell
of faintness, so that accommodating
gentleman was fain to seize her about
the waist and support her until she re-
gained her strength. t.t'E
At this point man appeared and
dem anded roughly to know what they
did there, saying 1t was private property
and ordering them away. The woman
fed instantly, but Mr.. Barr stood his
ground, apologized and explained mat
Ters. Then he left, when suddenly he
was prompted to feel for his pocket
book. 1t was gone and along with 1t
so in greenbaCks. He hurried back,
but the man alao had disappeared.
Next day he saw the couple bathing
together and at once posted of and se'
cured an officer. They were arrested
and taken before the Mayor, and upon
being searched about $50 of the money
was found upon them. Meantime 1t
leaked out that another prominent
Philadelphian had been swipdl led out
of $50 by the woman in the same way
q day or two before. # ''.
He was summoned by telegraph and
fully identified both woman and man.
At the request Of the Mayor j. Gran
vile Leach, of Philadelphia, appeared
for the couple and secured reduction
of their bail from 81, 900 each to $500
each and also had them kept out of the
lookup over Sunday by placing them
under the custody oftwo special officers
pending an effort to get bail.
In this they we're unsuccessful and
yesterday the Mayor committed them
for trial, as stated. A we'll known
Philadelphia ice man was also ap'
preached by the woman one evening
last week, who endeavored to make a
victim of him, but he was a little toe
old to be taken in and threatened hel
with arrest, upon which she hastily
disappeared. The party have all the

made this singular statement: "The In

and they give as reason that, If they
