ARREST OLA STEAMERS AGENT

A BostOnian Served with a Warrant by
a Detective in Full Evening Dress.
The New York World of Sunday says:
''Nr. NJ. d. O'Connor, the manager of the
passenger department Of the Monarch
line of steamers, yesterday returned from
Boston, where, on Tuesday evening, he
had caused the arrest of the former Ros-
ton agent, Henry Magee, Immediately af-
ter the latter's marriage. Magee had sur
rendered his position some time ago, but
continued to sell prepaid tickets for trips
from London to this country, and, in spite
of repeated requests, did not account
for the money so received. A few weeks
ago he wrote to Mr.. O'COnnor that he
was going to be married a second time.
his first wife being dead; that his pros
pective bride had few houses
and lots in Boston, and that he
would settle up his affairs with the
Monarch line as soon as possible after the
wedding. AT the same time he enclosed a
printed invitation for Mr.. O'COnnor to at
tend the marriage ceremony, which was
to take place on Aug. u. Mr.. O'COnnOr
went to Boston, and, having procured
warrant from local Magistrate, gave
his invitation to a detective. The latter,
armed with the warrant and attired in
full evening dress, attended the wedding.
After the ceremonies were over and CON
gratulatiOns were being showered on the
happy pair, the detective made himself
and his business known to the unsuspect-
ing groom. The latter was obliged to
leave his bride in charge of his best man
and reluctantly accompanied the detec-
tive to the Magistrate, who admitted him
to bail. Every effort was made to have
the guests believe that it was all mis-
take, but the pleasure for the evening
was marred. The young couple were
obliged to postpone their wedding trip in
order that the groom can be present at
the examination.

A LIZARD IN HIS STOMACH.

After Years of Horrible Suffering, st.
Louis Man Disgorses a Hideous Rep

For the past five or six years, says
st. Louis special, John Horan, master
stone-cutter, residing on Magazine street.
has suffered terribly from what doctors
in st. Louis and other cities have regarded
as a complicated intestinal disorder. He
has twice been in hospitals in st. Louis,
and has spent the greater part of his earn
Ings with a view to securing some perma-
nent relief. Last Thursday HOran was at
work in the stone-yard when he was sud-
denly taken i'll. Fearing that he was GO
ing to vomit blood, he closed his eyes and
leaned for support on the stone on which
he was working. He then experienced a
terrible pain in his throat. Next he
VOmited. On recovering and looking
around, he found that he he had not
parted with portion OF his lungs, as the
pain and sensation he experienced led
him to fear he had done, but with a species
of reptile of surprising dimensions.

an hour without being compelled to rest.
Often he had to remain away from work
two or three days a week. He had no
appetite, and when he did take food was
rarely able to retain more than a small
portion of it. Seldom did he obtain an
unbrOken nights rest. He frequently de-
clared that he could feel something turn
ing around in his stomach. The doctors
told him that his intestines were growing
together. Since he had vomited the rep

ATROCIoUs CRIME SUSPECTED.
The Mysterious Disappearance of Young
Women from Berlin,

In consequence of the emigration to the
United States from Germany, especially
on the part Of young men, says a Berlin
cable special, there is always an overplus
of female population in the large German
cities; but there has recently been an
alarming number of mysterious dlsap-
pearances of women and girls of mar
riageable age from Berlin. 1t has been
suggested that these disappearances may
be the result of traffic known to exist
both in London and Berlin, by which GER
tain Infamous houses in Belgium are reg
ularly supplied with fresh victims for i'm
moral purposes.
The Berlin police, however, have an
other theory. The mysterious manner in
which the missing girls have disappeared
leads the police to believe that the infer
nal system of crime for which Hugo
Schenck and Karl Schlossarek were
hanged at Vienna last April has been put
in practice by some miscreants, as yet un-
known, i'll Berlin. The police believe
that servant girls and others, who are
known to have saved little money. are
first entrapped into a correspondence by
means OF matrimonial advertisement,
are persuaded into marriage, and are
then deliberately robbed and murdered.
