WOMAN'S WILES.

Their Little Game ae Cape nay
Picking Their WOuld-bo
PrOtectors' Pockets.
On a commitment made out by the
mayor of Cape May, on Wednesday, an
Enslish couple, by the name of Williams,
were sent to the county prison at Cape
Nav court house, to await trial on a
charge of picking pockets, the informa-
ton being entered by Mr.. Barr, of Phila
delphia. Tho method of operating pur-
Bars testimony before the mayor, was
peculiar. On Friday evening last about
dusk he was walking along the beach
he was met by the woman, who
is petite and pretty, and under
the pretence of having lost her way she
enlisted the sympathies of Mr.. Barr, who
is a gallant bachelor, and got him to walk
with her up to Stockton avenue, where she
said she was stopping. They came to q
pretty cottage, which afterward turned
out to be that of Mr.. George D. McCreary,
of Philadelphia, tho gate of which stood
invitingly open, aud the woman informed
her unsuspecting escort that she was stay
ing there. She stopped inside the gate
and when about to take leave of Mr.. Barr
suddenly pretended she was seized by .
spell of faintness, SO that that accOmmO-
dating gentleman was fa;n to seize her
about the waist and support her until she
regained her strength.
At this point man appeared aud de-
manded roughly to know what they did
there, saying it was private property, and
ordering them away. The woman fled
instantly, but Mr.. Barr stood his ground,
apologized and explained matters. Then
he left, when suddenly he was prompted
to feel for his pocket book. 1t was gone
and along with it $40 in greenbacks. He
hurried back, but the man also had dis
peared. Next day he saw the couple
bathing together aud at once posted of
and secured an officer. They were Ar
rested and taken before the mayor, when
upon being searched about $50 of the money
was found upon them. Meantime it
leaked out that another prominent Phila-
delphian had been swindled out of $50 by
the woman in the same way day or two
before. He was summoned by telegraph
and fully identified both woman and mau.
At the request of the mayor j. Granville
Leech, of Philadelphia, appeared for
the couple aud secured reduction
of their bail from $1,000 to $500
each, and also had them kept out OF
the lookup over Sunday by placing them
under the custody Of two special officers
pending an effort to got bail. In this they
were unsuccessful and the mayor commit
ted them for trial as stated. A we'll known
Philadelphia ice man was also approached
by the woman one evening last week, who
endeavored to make a victim Of him, but
he was little too old to be taken in and
threatened her with arrest. upon which
she hastily disappeared. The party have
all tho traits about them Of English pro.
fessiOnals.

The new cattle disease which has been
making such fearful ravages in Berks

famed mucous membrane and dry,
hacking cough, tho nOstrils also being
dry or apparently parched.
After death the spleen has been found
to weigh in some instances ten to twelve
pounds, whereas the ma, ural weight is
from two to three pounds. The spleen
becomes entirely decomposed, and in many
instances is ruptured on being taken out,
and if pressed on by the hand it oozes en-
tirely through tho fingers. The blood is
dark, boing in the nature of fluid, the
color of porter. 1t is greatly congested,
being in every case of q thick quality.
The disease can be checked if taken in

the respiration at it proper standard be,

At a gathering of the Independent

programme for an Grafton that was in
tended to be of a literary character. Dur
lug the course of his remarks he glided
into politics and drew the following por.
trait that is easily recognized as General
Beavers, aud ascathing arraignment of the
methods by which his nomination
was secured. Said General Lear :
"Prblic duties,'' arc prostitute:l for
personal and political ends. and
the local politician is awarded for his
disobedience of the public will and
the betrayal of his constituency.
Designing mon obtain their first
hold of political power, and once inside the
threshold, they proceed to entrerch them
selves as a general docs an army. by a
discriminating use of patronage they Sc
cure the most devoted fuglemen in every
department of the public service. Politica
intrigue assumes the disguise of states.
manship and official jObbcry boldly wears
the livery of patriotism. The chances for
the success of an outrage upon the rights
of tho people increase in the ratio of its
enormity. Editors of party organs are
bribcd by political appointments and sub
s:dized by tho patronage of protligate Off
cials, and woe to the man who presumed
to assert his manhood by questioning the
methods or tho qualifications OF their
masters. He may expect the whole pack
of subservient ours, Tray Blanche

ribaldry and scurrility which are their ia
vorite weapons both for attack and de-
fense.'

with Paul Quiglcy. Bricker was locked
in freight car and tallOn to Chicago,

n;zed by former Lancastrian, be became
alarmed and left, and after wandering
from place to place, with Indifferent sue
cess. resolved to give himself mp, return to
Lancaster and serve out tho balance Of his
term. He was 10th to leave the Jail whom
the gang escaped, and was tho very last
one get over the wall.
Bricker, as is well-knOwn, was convicted
of breaking into and robbiDg HOher's
watch-repairing shop on North Queen
street, and was sentenced to five years
term of imprisonment. The following
special dispatch from Kansas City to tho
New York Star will serve tn show how .
