his daughter, was called at Franklin KY.

ed that Mrs. Cavett and daughter. who

....At last the New York authorities
have succeeded in securing the arrest Of
the notorious Madame Mandelbaum,
with a reasonable hope of bringing hel
career to an end by conviction and long
Imprisonment. She is the queen OF re-
~ceivers Of stolen goods. Fagin was out
of her class, but his business, large as il
was, seems to have been as nothing com
pared with the immense transactions ot
Mother Baum" For twenty five year.
she has defed the police. although i,
seems certain that all the while she ha.
had dozens Of professional thieves work
ing for her, and in the quarter of a cen
tury hundreds Of thousands of dollars
worth of goods have passed through hel
hands. la order to secure her arrest the
District Attorney was forced to employ
private detectives. The relations of the
regular force and of the politicians il
certain official positions with Mrs. Man
delbaum were of such a character thai
it was useless to attempt to convict hel
upon testimony procured through mean.
of the police detectives. This is &C
knowledged with vell-deserved shame b.
the leading New York papers.
