DISCUSSION ON A FOUNDER.
Mrs. Brennan, the matron at the Central
Police Station, said: "Now, there is Kate
Murphy in again, and am positively dis
tressed to hear the language she uses. 1t
seemed to me that the old saying of woman
who is degraded being worse than a de-
graded man was impossible, until 1 came to
this station. can fully believe it now.
There is a woman over So years of age, and
the language she uses is positively shock
ing. tried some time ago to get her sent to
the Poor Farm, where she would at least
have roof over her head and something to
eat. But she could not get whisky there
and refused to go. I do not know what to
do with such a case, and it grieves my heart
to see woman who ought to be thinking of
her end so terribly demoralized.
A JACK WHO WAS JAILED.
For several months ladies,l living in the
vicinity of Lacock and Robinson streets,
Allegheny, have been subject to insults
while alone on the street in the evening
from second edition in q modified form Of
Jack the Ripper, only that the Alle-
ghenv ghoul has never evinced a dis
position to shed the blood of his
victims. The authorities have always been
unable to apprehend the villain or villains,
as he, she or it has invariably taken the
trouble to do his dastardly work when the
police were not in sight. He came to grief
however, last evening, and it is to be hoped
that ladies will be able to traverse the streets
of Allegheny undisturbed in the future.
THE MOST RECENT CASE.
Mrs. Jane Bertram, of Grant street, was
passing along Lacock street last evening,
and when near Morgan street she was sud-
denly approached by a man, who threw his
arms around her waist. She screamed for
help, and Chief of Detectives MUIR
phy and Special Officer Ted
johnson, who happened to be
near rushed to her assistance. When the
fellow saw the officers approaching he fed
down Morgan street with the representa-
tives of the law in hot pursuit. They called
to him to halt, but their calls had exactly
the opposite effect from that desired. They
then shot at him couple Of times and
finally captured the scoundrel after a ten
minutes chase. He was taken to
the City Hall, where he gave
his, name as Henry Drexler. charge
of disorderly conduct was entered against
him, but Detective Murphy states that the
case will be taken into court. Whether the
prisoner belongs to a gang or whether he
has been operating alone is not known. He
is about 80 years Of age, neatly dressed, and
would scarcely be taken as man who
would assault defenseless women. Mrs.
Bertram tainted from fright, and when she
recovered was sent to her home at the corner
Of Third avenue and Grant street, Pitts
burg.
Annie schsuer rained tears last night at
police headquarters. She demanded Of In
snector McAleese the restitution of her
affianced. Her home, she said. was in the
East End, though she had been living as q
domestic with a family in Oakland.
She is about % years Of age, large, strong
looking, and evidently person Of great
determination. So much Of the last named
