THE MISSING LINK DISCOVERED
Choice Additions to the Specimens in
the American Museum of Natural His


From the NeaO York Sun.
Prof. Joel Asaph Allen, the zoologist
DR.. II. A. Ward, of Rochester, the collec-
tor of geological specimens, and Fernan.
do FerrarI Perez, President Of the States
University Of Puebla de Zaragoza and
naturalist of the Mexican Geographical
Commission, met at the American Mu-
scum of Natural History, in Central Park,
yesterday.
Prof. Allen comes from Cambridge,
where he has been in charge of the
Museum of Comparative Zoology. He
VIII become curator of the department of
birds and mammals in the American
Museum, which he expects to raise to the
level of the best institutions of the kind.
He has brought with him a large variety
Of specimens Of eggs and birds.
DR.. Ward was just back from a trip
abroad in the interests OF the museum.
In speaking Of this he said:
"Morris X. Jesup has supplied money
to secure one specimen of every known
variety of monkey, ape and babOOn for
this museum. | have just returned from
a trip to Madagascar in search of speci-
mems, and must report defeat. Nearly
all the species of lemurs come from that
island. When | was there a French feet

were at war with it. Finding | could not

America. and have here some specimens
Indigenous TO that continent. ! believe it
will require two years TO fill this order.
Some of the quadrumana, or four-handed
mammals, are almost impossible to secure.
For instance, there is the Zanzibar
monkey, of which only one specimen has
ever been found. | have personally given
up search and left my agents to do the
work. Mr.. Robert Colgate has supplied
money to complete the museums cOllec-
ton of North American birds and mann
mails, and | shall soon be able to complete
my contract with him.
Il have one important item of infOrma-
ton to impart. Last fall. mysterious
dispatch was sent 10 the British scientists
at Montreal, saying that the missing link
had been found IN, Australia. ] went
there, and have brought back thirty of
these strange creatures. a group of the
ornithorynchus. This is the most remark.
able of all scientific discoveries. This
strange animal is the connecting link he.
tween birds and mammals. 1t
looks like the beaver, but instead of hay.
ing hair on its back it has scales,
and in place of scales on its tail 10 has
hair. This in itself would not constitute
a missing link, but after long investiga-
ton we find that it lays an egg like a
/ bird, but suckles its young like a nam.

misery as this. My children are all dead,
. and my husband and ! are alone IN the
world; but IL will not be for long"
As she said this her eyes tiiied with
tears. and she turned her face away to
To hide her emotion.
That same evening when Mrs. Wald
sent one Of her children 10 return the
plate the door was found locked, and no
answer could be obtained in response to
repeated knocks.
On saturday afternoon Mrs. Wald found
the door still locked, and on looking
through the keyhole she saw that the key
was on the inside. she then looked through
the window and saw the old man lying on
the floor but srpposing him to he asleep
She went away and made no QUERY.
Yesterday, on looking through The win
dow again, Mrs. Valid saw Leman lying
in the same position, which excited her
suspicion, and an officer was sent for, who
forced the door open, and the dreadful
truth was at once made manifest.
The old man lay upon the floor face
downward, clad only in his shirt, the
front OF which was stained with the
poison, and in a tiny little inner room
Mrs. Leman lay dead across the bed.
Upon the wooden table two cups and
piece Of paper which had contained the
poison told plainly the story OF their
tragic death.
II was evident that they had divided
the fatal draugbt into two portions and
each had drained the cup, and that both
had then lain down 10 die. IT was also
evident that the husband in his death
agony had risen from the bed and stag
gered towards the door, either to unlock
it or call for assistance.
His wife was probably dead by this
time, and before he could reach the door
he must have lost his consciousness, fall
en- TO tue floor and expired in that po-
sitiOn.
Some Of the neighbors say they heard,
late on Friday night, the noise OF some
one walking in the room, followed by
heavy tall.
Through the failure to obtain employ
ment, and the dread of being again thrust
out upon the streets, the aged couple had
resolved TO end their misery locked in
each others arms, on the day above all
others that should have brought them
pleasant memories.
Nothing was found in the miserable
room that could give any clue to the his
tory of the aged couple.

A GRIM GOLDEN WEDDING.
Aged, Starving, FrIendIess Husband and
Wife Drink Poison.


Overtaken in their old age by dire
poverty and with starvation staring them
in the face, Charles Leman and his wife
Elizabeth celebrated their golden wedding
by pledging each other in draught OF
death.
Their bodies were found yesterday after
noon in a miserable apartment in the
tenement house No. 3l5 East seventy.flth
street. Side by side on rcketv table.
almost the sole article Of furniture In the
room, stood two CUPS, smcared with the
dregs Of Paris green.
Leman was y years Of age. and his wife
one year his junior. Both wer" Germans.
Six months ago they hired two small rooms
on the third floor Of the tenement. the hus-
bsnd being employed at the time as a
night Waterman IA a downtown store.
The wife was too old and feeble 10 work
A couple Of months later Leman lost his
situation. and from month 10 month the
old couple were pressed by the landlord
for the rent. which. though but pittauca.
they were unable 20 pay, the old man i'm
the meantime tying in vain 70 obtain EN-.

A. last, on May I. Mrs. Miller, the
h0usekeeper who collects the rents for
the landlord. was reluctantly Obliged 20

ola couple, hungry aud poorly clad,
wandered around In the cold drlzzling
rain and mist.
On Wednesday, five days ofterward. the
