A LIVELY COPPER.

IN 1p0IIO on the Ne1U Tort Police Force
LeureS His Wife and FOItotcs a WidoV.
A New York special says: Albert Beal
is a good-looking young policeman, who
was detailed some time ago from patrol
duty to do special work about
the central Office in Mulberry street
Last Wednesday he handed in his resigna-
ton to the commissioners. Inquiry int }
the reason of this action developed some
singular facts that created much comment
among the inspectors and other officials
about headquarters, where the news of his
conduct was received last night. Beal is
a married man, and lived with his wife at
No. 135 Bowery. The couple had had three
children, all of whom died in infancy.
About six months ago Mr.. Beal trans
ferred his affections from his wife to Mrs.
Katrina Schiever, pretty widow, who kept
boarding house at No. 322 Bowery. Much
of Beal's time after that was spent with
the widow. When he resigned from the
force he went to his home and told his wife
that she must get ready and 60 to Phila-
delphia, where her parents live, as he was
going to leave the city for some time. Mrs.
Beal did not ask any questions, but I'M
complainingly packed up her things, and
on Friday went to Philadelphia. Mrs.
Schiever heard few weeks ago that she
had fallen heiress to a considerable amount
of money in Germany, so she determined
to go to Europe and claim her windfall.
She formerly kept music store in the
Bowery, and being of thrifty DISPOSE
ton, she had $1,000 in the Bowery savings
bank. She drew this out, and al so dispos-
ed of her personal effects. She
is thought to have had about $4,000 in
cash with her. Last Saturday morning
she got in c2rriage, in front of her
house, and bidding her friends goodbye,
drove to the steamer Necker. In the car
rage with her WIS Zeal. He said that he
was only going to see the widow to the
steamer when he would return. But night
came, and Zeal did not come back. His
mother and sister made inquiries and
learned that he had taken passage on the
same steamer with the widow. Then let
ter from Deal to his wife came to Beal's
mother. In it the policeman urged his
wife not to fret, as he was going to Europe
to get revenged on Mrs. Schiever. Beal's
family and friends think that he has gone
to Europe with the idea of getting pos
session of Mrs. Schiever's money, and then
leaving her. They fancy this will be a
difficult thing to do, as the widow has had
two husbands and is supposed to- know a

Mrs. Bre.rstcr CATS on Hrs. Dorsey.

Washington special to ST. Louis Glo0e-
Democrat There was sensation at 1903
K street the other afternoon when Attor-
ney General Brewster's yellow wheeled
carriage with its two men in drab coats and
cockaded hats. and the two black horses in
dark blue blankets embroidered with the
large coat Of arms in colors, drew up be-
fore the residence of ex-senator Dorsey
The footman dismounted, took the cards
from Mrs. Brewster, who sat inside, and
ran up the terrace steps, laying the cards
upon theibutler's silver tray, iwhen informed
that madame was not receiving that after
noon" This word was returned to the
lady in the carriage, and the equipage
rolled off to another doorway. The puzzled
neighbors could hardly believe the evil
dence of their senses when they saw the
attorney generals family calling on the
star reuters wife. The indignant Mrs.
Dorsey telephoned for the lawyers, and
presented the matter to counsel before she
could carry out any Of her plans of re-
tort. The lawyers examined the cards on
both sides, held them to the light, and SUBJ
mitted them to chemical tests without
reaching clear conclusion as to what
mistake CT intention there could have been
in the matter and there the puzzle stands.

Fa,nous RoU of Greenbacks

For two years past there hash cen a lit
tie tin box containing $4,000 in green
backs in safe in the comptroller's office
at the state capitol. 1t was labeled ''Ses-
sions' Bribery Money and this very well
explained its character, for it was in fact
the $4,000 that Assemblyman Bradley,
of Cattaraugus county, swore he received
from Senator Sessions as bride to vote
for Chauncey NJ. Depew for United States
senator in 1881. Our readers doubtless
remember the day when Gen. George r.
Sharpe, the speaker of the assembly, laid
down the money with sigh of relief be-
fore the assembly bribery investigating
committee and said: There's the money;
1 want nothing more to do with
it; / haven't slept night since
it has been in my possession" 1t
will be also remembered that Bradley
swore he went directly from Sessions room
after receiving the money to the room OF
Speaker Sharpe, and handed him the
money with statement how it camel into
his possession. The investigating com

Damages for Five Children Killed.
1san Francisco Bulletin

In May, 1881, five children of F. H.
Nehrbas, of San Lonrenzo, Alameda coun
ty, were returning home from a May day
picnic in light wagon, and when they
reached the crossing of the Central Pacific
railroad the vehicle was struck by loco
motive and all the inmates were killed.
The father of the children sued the rail
road company for damages. On trial
it was shown that the ap-
preaching train could not be
seen from the highway until close to the
crossing on account of a covered bridge
and eucalyptus trees. 1t was also shown
that the train was behind time, and run
ming from thirty-three to thirty-five miles
an hour, The jury awarded $4,000 dam
ages to the plaintiff, and defendant took
an appeal. The supreme court has affirmed
the judgment, holding that sin view of the
rule of damages prevailing here we cannot
be reasonably expected to hold that for
such loss as the plaintiff in this case sus-
tanned the amount awarded him by the
jury was excessive

Sun Spots.

The periodicity of sun spots is known to
have been discovered by Herr Schwabe, of
Dessau, and from personal observations he
thought the period ten years. Subsequent
researches have proved the phenomenon to
be rather complex, and the conclusions ar
rived at by the Swans who have studied it
do not we'll agree. Herr Wolf, of Zurich,
has recently made fresh investigation
(by a method we need not here describe) of
the most conplete and certain portion of
the observations on record, that extending
from 1851 to the present epoch. He deals
with 520 years. observations, given in .440
monthly averages. His conclusions are
these: 1. There is a period of 10 years:
g. There is period of II years. months;
8. There is not period of II years, i'm
putable to the action of
Jupiter. 1t further appears that not
withstanding the great difference of
the two periods. the interval from mini
mum to the following maximum is the
same for both-viz, AZ years. Again, as
II periods of 10 years are equivalent to 10
periods of II years months, the complete
phenomenon covers ITO years, after which
the maxima and the minima are repro
duced in the same order and with the same
numerical values. To have a full idea of
the phenomenon, we have to add the other
remarkable periodicity, not in the number
but in the geographical distribution of the
spots, suspected by Mr.. Darlington and
brought into clear light by Herr Sperer.
It consists in this, that when after mini
mum the spots commence to reappear on
the sun, they first do so suddenly at high
latitudes. and are then progressively
restrained toward the zones near the equa-
tor till the next epoch of minimum. No
adequate explanation of these remarkable
phenomena has yet been offered.

Geo. A. Pillsbury rose to a personal ex,
plenation. He said that he was misquotec
in the papers on last Monday, regarding
the matter of valuation. He said that
what he said was that the probable valua
ton of the city to-day was about $4,000,
900; that the assessed valuation of $4,000,
600 had been rei by the state board
of equalization 20 ger cent. and that Of
Ramsey county had been raised 10 per cent
Mr.. Pillsbury wished to call attention tc
this because the sta ement published plac-
ed him in a false position before the PEG
pie of St. Paul, who would know that, as
published, the statement was untrue.
The meeting then adjourned.

mittee transferred the money to the comp
troller, who has since had it in his safe, as
we have already said. In the meantime
the state has paid out at least $4,000 to
two lawyers who examined witnesses be-
fore the investigating committee, and
there are other bills connected with this
trial yet npaid. Under these circum-
stances the Hon. Erastus Brooks. thinking
the state ought to confscate the $4,000 to
recoup itself for its disbursements. moved
in the assembly that il should be paid into
the general fund of the state, and the mo-
ton was adopted. Thus disappears into
an ocean % good money this little tainted
roll of greenbacks. 1t is to be hoped it
will not infect the entire amount.
