A Jury Secured.

NEW York, Oct. 26.-Thc work of
securing a jury for the trial of Ferdinand
Ward was completed this afternoon.
District Attorney Martin opened the case.
He said Ward had been indicted for lar
ceny and he read the statutes covering the
crime. While the district attorney was
speaking james ID. Fish entered the court
room with his c~ustodians. lie glanced
at Ward and was removed to a private
room where he remained until wanted as
a witness. The district attorney said that
Ward on May !, 1884, in this city, pre-
sented a check for SIS. 900 to the Marine
bank drawn against a check for $4,000 Of
the First National bank. Ward received
the money from the Marine bank. The
$4,000 check was not honored by the
First National bank and Ward was guilty
of grand larceny by procuring 81 200 on
it from the Marine bank. The jury must
remember the fact that Ward was not on
trial for running Gen. Grant and sending
him broken hearted to the grave, or for
sending to the state prison for ten years
a gentleman highly connected in banking
circles, but was on trial for grand lar
ceny.
James d. Fish was the first witness
called. He leaned over in his chair and
glared s~avagely at Ward, who lowered his
eyes. Wards counsel moved that the
jury be dismissed on account Of the state
ment of the district attorney regarding
Gen. Grant and Mr.. Fish. The motion
was denied.

Question-''Is the prisoner here the

Fish Cleaning over again)-'I would
like to see him. Yes, that is the man"
(contemptuously). Continuing, the wit
ness said: Il said over the telephone,
Ward, have your check here for certi-
fcation for 81 500 against an unccrtiicd
check for $4,000 Ward telephoncd

Witness then detailed the oft-told story
of the events leading to the break down
of the Marine bank.
The Witness brother, Benjamin Fish,
paying teller of the Marine bank, cor
roborated the ex-president's testimony.
and the court then adjourned until TO

A MERMAID SOLD BY a SAILOR.
How Tho Purchaser Was URdeceived-
The Work of Clever Taxldermist

How Tho Purchaser Was URdecafved-
The Work of Clever Taxldermist.
The foreman of Hoes press works one
day last week, says the New York Irj-
bune, made the acquaintance Ofa weather
beaten sailor, VINO sold him mermaid for
a good round sum. The ia related the
story Of the mermaids capture near the
coral islands OF the South Pacific. She
had been surprised by party of sailors,
while sitting on rock c0mbing her long
tresses. Every effort was made to keep
her alive on the yoya9e home, but ten
days after the ship had sailed out Of sight
of her native reefs and caves the mermaid
died of a broken heart.
ManV friends OF the foreman inspected
the mermaid and declared il was genuine.
/ "DuubtpsS." thought the lucky foreman,
"the government VIII pay high for the body
Of the only mermaid ever caught. MY for
! tune is ready made" He was advised to
c, mmunicate with Commissioner Black
ford, who is an authority on he value Of
mprmalds. and to try to sell it through
HIM to the National Museum in Washing
ton.
My poor fellow" said Mr.. Blackford as
he inspected the wonderful inhabitant of
the South Seas, ''s0me scamp of q sailor
has taken you in. That thing is no mer-
maid, but 1t is an imposition made by a
clever taXidermist. The tail is that OF a
hake and it is so nicely joined on to the
upper part of a monkeys skeleton that it
would deceive any one. Those tresses
are from a hCrse's tail. Find that sailor
and tell him to repent"
The blood of the foreman fell ten degrees
below zero as bis visions of wealth
resolved into thin January air.
s'ThOse taXidermists ought to be prose-
cuted,'' said Mr.. Blackford. THAT mer-
maid business is worked extensively in
this CITY and the victims feel so ashamed
OF themselves that they never say any
thing about it,"

TREATED BY FAITH DOCTORS.
MarveIous Cures Some of Them ars
Reported to Have Made.

6arVeious Cures Some of Them ars
Reported to Have Made.
Remarkable cures are alleged to have
been wrought by faith doctors in the
neighborhood of New London Conn
within year. Marvellous accounts,
that are said to be true, are given of Grip
pies who threw away their crutche5 and
of persons bedridden for years that got
up and walked after one or two treat
ments by the laying on Of hands. The faith
cure was introduced into the seacoast
village CT Mystic, in Grot0n, last summer.
A young lady, Miss Fanny E. Brown, who
had been an invalid for years, confined to
dark room and much Of the time help
less, was treated twice by a Boston faith
doctor. In two days she got off her bed,
walked into the garden. and gathered
flowers. In less than week she went
down town perfectly cured Her father,
Randall Brown, Esq, an influential
citizen Of Mystic, a skeptic at first, was
converted to the faith creed in three DAYS.
Miss Fanny e. Browns remarkable
recovery led her TO try to heal the sick
herself She went to Boston and studied
in the faith schools. A few weeks ago
she came home and began to cure her
sick naishbOr8. Her most notable
achievement was in the family of John
Pitt Williams. Matte w. Williams, q
daughter, had been a helpless Invalid for
thirteen yeares and tor eleven years had
been shut out from the outside world
AS Miss Brown, looking the picture of
health, entered the house the patient was
iii a-fjaFh1ned room on bed from which
she had not risen ln nearly ten years.
The sick girl could not lilt her head from
the pillow, and light was int0lerable. The
young physician sat down OF the side of
;he bed ana related the story Of her own
Illness and complete recovery. She told
the invalid to have hope, assuring her
that without faith no maiady could be
cured. Look at me-" she said, sit was
faith alone that brought me health and
strength" The invalid raised her eyes
and said: 81 viii try"
chat is right; can help you then"
was the reply OF the faith doctor. Miss
Brown prayed, and then placed her hands
on the inValid's shTunken body, moving
them rapidly up and down, while she
talked hopefully to the girl. She re-
NAMED IN the room for several hours. 1t
was on Saturday evening, NOF. /, that
Miss Browns first visit was made. The
disease was angular curvature OF the
spine, heretofore pronounced by pbysi-
clans to be incurable On Sunday morn
ing, Nov. 2, Matte Williams was able to
5e helped out OF bed and to sit in a chair.
In a week she was strong enough to stand
up. In ten days she walked about the
house. At the end Of two weeks she took
short carriage rides. In a month she
was well.
