A woman who was arrested In Philadelphia
Saturday for uttering o worthless check on the
Philadelphia National Bank has been identified Is
q notorious confidence woman who operated In
that city nine or ten years ago Mrs sophie Je-
rome, by hiring vault box In the several safe de-
post companies, made such hiring the lever
through which she extracted money from her
dupes For instance, In November, 1879, she
robbed German woman named Mrs Rebecca Key
ser, OF No. sol Diamand street She one day ~
duced Mrs. keyser 10 visit the Fidelity Trust Co.
with her. On their arrival at the institution Mrs
jerome invited her victim back 70 the vault TO
her securities. She kept the woman at safe dis
lance, however, when she unlocked the box and
fumbed some papers. A few days afterward,
when she asked Mrs keyser the loan OF a few
thousand dollars she unhesitatngly handed over
the money, Tor she believed that Mrs. jerome was
person OF considerable wealth. Mrs. Keyser
afterward found she was ruined, and Mrs jerome
had victimIzed her. such operations led TO an IN
vestigation, and Mrs Jerome's box was packed
with folded newspapers. All the banks, deposit
and trust companies ordered her not TO enter their
doors under pain OF arrest, and she disappeared
only TO be arrested on her rst attempt at crooked
work again.

In the Criminal Court. Judge Montgomery, this
morning, the trial Of George W. Covington, a
white man, forty live or fifty years OF age, for an
outrage on Lizzie johnson, cOlored girl about
twelve years old, on August 8. was resumed. The
child had testified that the day in question de-
his boat, and took them to the south side OF the
Eastern Branch, where he assaulted and outraged
both OF them. This morning the mother OF the
child testified that the child was sick a week and
half, and was more or less an invalid for month
after being under the care Of physicians.
DIR. Eugene c. c. Winters testified that he found
the girl suffering from violent usage
Reoecca johnson was called, and Mr.. CARING
ton, counsel for defense, said that they proposed
TO show that this girl had made the charge and
now retractS 1t. Witness who Is three or four
years the senior Of the other girl, testified that
Covington did not outrage her, but she had
persuaded to do 50 by 'that lady" pOinting to the
mother OF the other girl).
This closed the Governments case, and Mr.. Car
rington said they expected to prove that Coving-
ton had never been arrestt d; that on the morning
In question he started to go fishing, for, having
few months before lost his son, he did not like 10
remain home; that the girls asked him to take
them in boat, and he did, but he never crossed
the river.
DR.. Alex. Mcwiiliams testified that he had ex-
amined the girl Thompson and she was diseased.

The general objection to the new part In which

scene enough. Its comic possibilities are beyond
question; indeed, at times the situations which
James Robins, butler, dominates verge on the
farccal Anything more absurd than the compli-

purport OF the story, cleveriy developed with
condensed action and bright dialogue as IL is Sc
cures for 1t at once the respect OF the audience.
Mr.. Florence appears as butt IN an aristocratic
English family which he rules with despotic
though genial sway, and to an elderly female
member OF which he Is secretly married. Later
his position Is made still more anomalous by the
engagement or his pretty niece to the young mas:

complished their purpose but for the stand taken
by James, the butler, whose serious enorts 10 VIM
