Standing on the porch of the Planters

building which was the first ediice
erected in Anaheim. 1t was built by
Mr.. Benjamin Dreyfus, who drove the
first stake in this now classic ground.
Mr.. Dreyfus was one of the original in
cdfporators of the colony, and was the

ter example could be given OF the pros.
perity which has attended this famous

his appearance in Anaheim, he was by

A day or two ago an elderly man,
holding a prominent financial posi-
ton called on detective in Boston and
said that he had friend who was in
serious trouble and asked the detective
to ADVISE with him. An appointment
WIS made, but few minutes afterwsrd
the man returned, and nervously con.
tessed, 81 am the friend" Then he
told the circumstances which had kent
him in hopeessI despair for two days He
WAS a grandfather and u deacon. and
had for many years held responsible
position in the business community,
but he believed his ruin was at hand
A few days before while walking TO-
ward home at the South End. he met
a young woman OF fascinating address
who claimed TO recognize him as a for
mer acquaintance. Ma uraliy he escor-
ted her Eomevard and was induced to
make a brief call lie did not CON
promise himself very seriously while in
the house, but he was IN very uudig-
nitied situation when the door WAS
opened and woman announced, HAT.
tie, here is YOUR husband" The old
nan hnrriediy got out Of the house. A
day or two afterward he received note
from a lawyer requesting him to call at
his office. The lawyer was visited, and
he claimed to know nothing about the
case except that his client stated that
the old man had overstepped the bounds
of prOpriety with his wife, and he want
ed satisfaction. BY little shrewd de-
tectve work the seductive feiuale was
induced to rope in the wrong man, and
Az the right stage Of the game she and
her confederates were arrested. Being
thus exposed they were warned out of
town, it not being desired to bring the
deacon's troubles into Court. His joy
over his deliverauce extended to tears.

A shocking suicide occurred on the
Baltimore division of the Penpsy lvanis
Railroad in Trenton, N. j., on Thurs.
day. An unknown man deliberately
placed his neck across q rail before the
wheels of q passing coal train and had
his head almost severed from his body.
He was dressed in workingmen's
clothes, was about tbirty-iOur years of
age, and is believed to have been a
German. loverty was doubtless the
cause of the act. The previous night
he accOs,ed several workmen who were
returning from work, and asked them
for any cold food that they might have
renniriug in their dinner kettles. No
attention was paid to him and he
wandered the streets all night, occasion
ally seeking the shelter of q doorway
until ordered away by the police. When
he approached the railroad track on
Thursday he appeared to be almost ex-
hausted. The remains were removed
to the mOrgue.

The Delaware Ledger, Of Saturday,
says. william Is. jackson, son of
Jsstcs Of tho Peace John G. Jackson,
appeared before Squire Valandigham,
AT his office in This town, last WedDes-
day AFTERNOON to ansWer charges pre-
ferred against him by his neighbor
P-,er Cornell. Mr.. Jackson allowed
iic Odiss Of several horses that had
died Of "a preva lent infectious disease.
, 10 renGiI unbnriel near the public
rced tor several weeks.
The stencil 40 Cifeudod the DeighbOr-
hood, aud the ueighbors fearing for
their own health and that Of their
f. och, complained TO Mr.. jackson, 1t Is
said, asking him to abate the nuisance,
but he was needless of the requests,
and this brought the matter before
| Squire Nallandigham. Thirteen wit
nesses we're examined, eleven testifying
In opposition to the defendant, and two
III his favor.
Mr. Jackson declared that there was
no unpleasant odor arising from the
babies and that they bad not been
buried because the weather was cold
enough 10 keep them frozen, and hence
lnotieusive, aud that he had intended
To have buried them az eocn as the
ground should thaw so as to better eba-
bic him 10 do 80.
Hs ssid that he did not know that
there Wtrs complaints in the neigh
boruuod in regard TO the matter and
thai three days after he found this TO
he the case he put the bodies under
ground.
Constable Albert william son stated
that Aa had notified MIR. jackson that
the matter WAS compl aimed Of by his
ntighbors. Squire jackson, the de-
PENDANTS father, after the witnesses
had ieen examined. made quite a
lengthy appeal in behalf Of his son.
He satd that if any otlense had been
committed it was done innOcently, but
that the whole charge was out OF ma
lice. That there WAS no OdOr arising
from The dead bodies, and that the con
dition in which they remarked WAS an
ofiense TO no one.
The case cIused, and Justice Valan.
dianEn, In rendering his decision, said
he thought IT a clear Que. IL was evi
dent from the testimony OF unimpeach-
cd citizens that the matter had been
the talk OF the neR borbOod.
The weather had been midland CON
mon sense proves that dead bodies
could not have remained IN the onen
Air for weeks without giving otfensc.
A few might not have noticed it; still
there were many present who had.
Consequently the defendant was held
in the sum of $500 to appear at the
next term of court. Mr. jackson lives
near Hockessin, Delaware.

WAS entirely satisfactory. The ira ctlon

who cLloroformed her. While upcOn.
scious she was taken to house, where
she found herself when she returned to

says her abductors told her they would
not harm her; all they wanted was ran
som money. They wrote her uncle,
Ohver Garrison, a letter to-day, telling
him what they wanted. The publicity

the girl loose at dark tonight.

by back door and then through sever.
al alleys by a woman, who left her after
directing her to the police station. The
girl says she was to, frightened to
