A BLAoKMAIL SCHEME.
Adventurers Trying to Extort Money from
Mary Anderson,

PITTsBURG, April S.-An attempt to
blackmail Mary Anderson, the actress, by
DR., A. g. Marshall, skilled but worthless
physician OF this city, became known to.
night, although the attempt was made
some two months ago. DR.. Marshall, about
six months ago, was released from the peni-
tentiary, where he had served a term of
Iour years for heing implicated in an abor-
tion which became notorious case. Some
time in the early part of January he
wrote to DR.. Hamilton Griffin, Miss Ander-
sons step-father saying that he had In his
possession some letters written by Miss An
derson, which greatly compromised her. As
he did not doubt that their publication
would injure Miss Anderson in her profess
sion and in her private life, he presumed
DR. Griffin would like to get possession Of
them.
No notice was paid to this letter, and DR..
Marshall wrote again, saying that he would
certainly have the letters published unless
ne was paid $4,000 for them. Dr. Griffin
then sent the letters to Chief of Police
Heise, with instructions to look up DR..
Marshall, find out his character and
have him prosecuted for blackmail.
He further stated that he had a
picture of Miss Anderson in a state that
would not be pleasant to be made pubic,
and that unless he was paid $4,000 copies
Of the pictures would be taken in reduced
size, put in covers, ETC., and sold. Chief
Heisel, after a little investigation, deter
mined to turn the matter over to the post
office authorities, and Special Agent Coates
is now working it up.

Many readers remember our
saying a year ago that morn
ings we almost always had a
certain make OF plain black
silk grenadine at $l.50, but
were often out of it before
night. We got all we could
of it; but could not get enough
to supply the demand. That
same grenadine is here yet al
the same price; at present, the
supply is ample.
The same with satin stripes
we have sold for years at So.
We have a little of it now for
$l.25. Stripes are not done
with, but down a bit.
Another plain grenadine, al
most exactly like the frs
aforementioned, that was il
the maket a year ago at $l.5(
(not here) we have two thou
sand yards at 81 a yard. While
it lasts it will be in the way o
that singularly perfect and re
liable one at $1.50; but, S,
great is the force OF confidenc,
in steady and constant virtue
many will pay the $50 still

But there's a great difference
in the qualities of the perfumes
of even a great perfumer. No
man has ever yet made many
perfumes of strictly the first
quality. ALFRED WRIGHT per-
haps has made as many as
anybody. His "White Rose
is certainly of the very highest
excellence; and we ment on it
because it is one that every
body likes. There are at least
half-a-dozen of like quality,
though perhaps no other is so
delightful to everybody, taught
or untaught.

A Ridiculsus Failure.

Again the model Mayor and Chief OF
Police are In disgrace, and this time their
trouble arose from an abortive attempt to
dis tract public attention from their OVID
numerous shortcomings by constituting mis-
takes caused by their own ignorance into
reasonable grounds for suspecting little
crookedness on the part of Chief Maxwell ,
who was Hawkins predecessor during the
administration of Mayor Almond. 1t hap
psned In this way
Some time ago the model Chief looked for
the police court records OF 1880, but con-
Quoted the search in such stupid manner
that he could not find them, although,
nguratiyely speaking, they were fright
"under his nose, all the time. The same
officer also discovered,i lin cursOry examina-
ton OF the Auditors books, an entry that
made 1t appear as though ex-Chief Maxwell
had not been exactly correct in one of his
monthly settlements with the city during
his term of office.
Here was bonanza, and without making
q careful examination to see If they had any
ground to stand upon, the models at one'
covcry. Sly little inuendoes began to aP
pear in the police station organs, and tht
models fairly revelled in delight at the pros
pect of the grand elimination of their mag
nifcent find.
1t came rather sooner than they expected
and was hastened by the ill-advised pre-
cipitancy of the chief police station organ
which hinted SO broadly on Saturday tina
ex-Chief Maxwell had made away with
portion of his official records and left a dis
crepancy in his accounts, that the gentle
man thus accused at once determined +
step all further talk about the matter
Armed with every receipt given him by tn
Auditor during his term of office h
made a complete examination, ant
not only proved to his model successor tina
the apparent discrepancy was simply cleI
ical error on the part of the Auditors clerk
but insisted on making a personal scare
for the missing record about whic
50 much had been said. He took tn
present chief into the Mayor
Office, opened the closet which ha
been used as a receptacle for police cou
documents, and there found the missin
record, )" which Chief Hawkins had stupid
overlooked when he went to find it himsel
The record was just as Chief Maxwell ha
left 1t, not Il page or a letter having bee
defaced.
This, in brief, is the stoEy of the brillian
attempt on the part of the model police ad
ninistratiop -tt6 gain little Cheap credit a
the Expense of its predecessor. 1t failed a
signally as the models have failed in thei
efforts to give the people ample and satisfaC
tory police protection, and leaves them, MOI
than ever, obi eets of public pity and col
tempt. Poor models Their future effor
in reference to their predecessors had bett'
be in the direction of emulating their goc
points and striving to make themselves ha
as satisfactory to the public they are paid
serve.

WHILE 1T MAY be very desirable to have
the Third street and Market street bridges
over the Chrstiana replaced by iron struc-
lures, such radical improvement will not
be necessary for years to come. The sudden
discovery made in certain quarters
that these bridges are extremely
rotten and need rebuilding at once is very
suspicious, and looks as though some par
ties were anxious for bridge-building con-
tracts. AS for the Washington street bridge
it would benefit but few people, and cannot
be urged as a public convenience, much
less public necessity, for a long time.

TIE TEXAs DISASTER.
Names of Those Killed and Wounded by
the Falling of a Hotel at GreenviIIe.


the Failing of a Hotel at GreenviIIe.
GALVESTON, TEX, April S.-A dispatch
from GreeuWlle gives the following in re-
laton TO the disaster on Friday night
When the hotel fell the shrieks and cries
from the inmates who were crushed in the
ruins were appalling, but the fire, which at
once started in the ruins, spread rapidly,
and soon all cries were hushed, the flames
having done their deadly work. The fol
lowing were either killed outright by the
falling Of the building or burned
to death in the ruins Mrs.

crushed; r. K. Neal, Miss Lou Davis, j. E..

They were all buried beneath the ruins, and
it was utterly impossible to render assistance
to those who were not killed instantly. Up
to this hour, few Jumps of charred flesh
and bones, representing the remains of hui
man beings, have been recovered.
The following inmates of the hotel wert
injured: W. D. Pruitt, badly mangled; DR.
Turner, probably fatally crushed; NJ. q

| by a second falling OF walls, which released
him. One man cut his throat when h
found the flames consuming him.
The relief train from Sherman made tht
time of a mile per minute. The cause o
the calamity is uncertain. 1t is though
that an explosion of powder in Armstead' ;
hardware store blew out the West walls
causing the entire building to fall. Th
adjoining buildings were destroyed. Tn
amount of the losses is not yet known.

1T Is BUT justice to Mr.. Kyne, who CONES
in this morning Tor his share OF the chronic
Misrepresentation OF the News, that he

is therefore disposed to allow his creditors
reasonable time in paying up their

it is intimated, is no better known

THE morning organs pretended apology
to ex-Chief Maxwell for its unjust insinua-

1t went through the performance with very
