gressors before the police judge yester-
day morning. There were men and
women, white and black. who were ar
raigned to answer for their Sunday
misdeeds. Lilly Sylvester and Tina Mel
son, the colored women who fought with
razOrs over a male friend, had their
case continued until to day under 81, 900
bail. Grace McGinnis. keeper of
Seventh street bagnio, was fined 500,
and another woman and three men
arrested in the place were assessed $25
each. The ifrepressible ''Jocco'' Con-
vey, alias Conway, charged with the
larceny of a hat from Hudson's store,
had his case continued until tomorrow,
as did Ed U'Neill, his accOmplice.
August Williams, for stealing suit of
clothes from a room at 1853 East
,as did James Murphy, caught
in the act of breaking into car on the
Wisconsin Central tracks. C. A. John
son paid s25 for being caught in cheap
lodging house with Polly Kruger, a
dishwasher in a jackson street res
taurant. In default Of the pay ment of
,$25 the girl was sent to the House OF the
Good Shepherd. John Langue, accused
of bastardy by Mary Lange, had his
case continued until tomorrow. Bar
ney Smith, the ex-pugilist, accused of
disorderly conduct, was released on his
own recognizance and will be tried to-
day. He is accused by Jennie La Fren-
erie of breaking into her house, near
Sixth and Minnesota streets, in search
of a woman whom he believed to be in

To Marcia he has been more than father;
for has he not given to her his own name,
and taken her to his bosom-his own eve
lamb, "shorn" of both parents, "shorn too
by disgrace in which she had no share, to
whom the wind indeed needed to be ITEM
peredr' The gallant soldier is childless,
and Marcia is ito him as daughter.
When Doggett was told that Sir Charles
had offered even to the halt of his fortune
if the charge could be withdrawn against
Wharton and Westlake he quantity re-
marked; "Ahl Wharton offered me the
whole of his fortune if / would give him "a
hours start, and he had made "a big pile
over there in a short time"
Which suggests how rarely men think OF
restitution as matter of right and duty;
only as bribe to purchase immunity from
terror and escape from impending punish
ment. Wharton was in position to have
restored the whole amount of the fraud, and
more. Public companies know how to give
kindly welcome to repentant sinners who
come with restitution in their hands.
One more remark of Doggett's. "If
Westlake had taken another name, like his
friend Pierce Wharton-Penryn Wendover
did, Sims might have been looking over
the Continent for him till the crack Of doom.
And if had not gone to Wall street-ex-
cited BY curiosity mainly, for had no bus
iness in that quarter-I guess Mr.. Wend-
over would be speculating still, and this
great insurance fraud would never have
come to light. Chance-eh? Bosh y
at is just the way of the world, :" said
Mr.. Webber, musing over the issues Of the
romantic friendship begun in the old Har-
row days. Gas Cowley says: There have
been fewer friends on earth than kings"

DR.. Westlake, having disposed of his
brother-in-law, lost no time in pursuing his
scheme to the end.
After the interment he produced will in
which life interest in the estate of Pierce
Wharton was left to his widow. The prop
erty was bequeathed to Marcia, in the
event of her mothers death, and Mrs.
Wharton was named as sole executrix of
the will. But there was a further clause
that practically gave to DR.. Westlake su-
preme control over the estate. This clause
appointed Mark Westlake, in conjunction
with the widow, trustee for the estate, and
the wording at this point was singular and
prolix.
1t counselled Mrs. Wharton, rather need
lessly, to confde entirely in Mark West
lakes Judgment in all things It took
knowledge of some real or imaginary indis-
position on Westlake's part to undertake
the responsibilities of a trusteeship. and i'm
plored him to lay aside his objections on
this head, and to act in accordance with
the testator's wishes for the sake of their
former friendship and their near relation
ship.
Owing to the state of Mrs. Wharton's
health, Mark Westlake virtually welded
all the power. His sister was simply called
upon to act as the sign-manual to register
his decisions. But with the entire conf
dence which she reposed in her brother, that
did not matter from her point of view. 1t
left, however, Mark Westlake free hand
to do as be pleased, which was perhaps what
was meant under all this palaver.
The will had been prepared at Norwich
during Wharton's visit to Norfolk in the
spring. 1t was proved without delay, and

HAD TO ACQUIT HER.
A WeIl-Defended Mother Of Four
Children No Seller of Beer.
MRS.CHRISTINA HOFFS EASY CASE,
In Which Real German Swears he Cant
Tell the Taste of Lager.
TWOFAILURES AND OTHER COURT NEWS

The case of Christina Hof, the widow from
Elizabeth township, who was charged with
selling liquor in prohlbitory district, came
up before Judge Magee, yesterday. Mrs.
Hof is the woman who created such
favorable impression on the Court and sew
eral Of the attorneys the other day, and her
acquittal was almost foregone conclusion.
She had been released on her own recog-
nlzance by Judge Magee; but she was in
court early yesterday morning with her four
small children.
Attorneys Montooth and Moore appeared
for the woman, and succeeded in securing
her acquittal. Probably the most amusing
part of the case was the examination of one
Of the witnesses for the Commonwealth. He
was Henry Becker, and he testified to hav-
ing bought a bottle of something that was
marked ''birch beer"
Mr.. Porter-Wasn't it really lager beer7
Mr.. Becker-I don't know.
Mr.. Porter-You know the difference be-
tween lager and birch beer?
Mr.. Becker-No, sir.
Mr.. Porter-Where were you born?
Mr.. Becker-In Germany.
Mrs. Hoff's testimony was the only evil
dence offered for the defense. She said she
had never sold anything but soft drinks;
but that boarder in the house usually kept
a jug of whisky, and sometimes gave some
to his friends.
In charging the jury Judge Magee said it
was dangerous for any one to manufacture
lager beer, label it birch beer and impose
upon poor widow, who was doing what all
mothers do-gathering her children about
her and trying to support them. He said
the only way they could convict her would
be on the assumption that she had sold
whisky belonging to the boarder.
The jury was only out about ten minutes,
and as Mrs. Hoff left the court, the specta-
tors handed her money in amounts rang
ing from 10 cents to half dollar.

The mutiny was crushed at last and order
and security reigned throughout our Indian
possessions. Major Lowndes, no longer
major, but Colonel Lowndes, now returned
with his regiment to receive the honor Of
knighthood at the hands of his sovereign
for gallantry and devotion, and still higher
military honors were in store for him.
Sir Charles Lowndes, as we must now
call him, "bore his blushing honors thick
upon him" with the modesty that sits so
we'll on truly brave man. he returned to
England bringing young wife with him
the rich widow of a Calcutta merchant
barely out of her teens. His small savings,
that had proved too severe test for Pierce
Wharton's honesty, were trivial matter to
him, now that he had married the lady who
was reputed to be the richest woman in
Hindustan. But he learned from Slingsby,
who had risen to be @. c., that commu-
nicatIon had been received from DIR. West
lake informing him that among his broth
er-in-law's effects was a statement that a
certain sum just realized on Major Lown-
des's shares was to be banked in his name
in the Bank of England. DR.. Westlake
stated that he had carried out the instruc-
tion which his brother-in-law had not lived
to carry out for himself. So Sir Charles re-
ceived his money without the slightest sus-
picion of the true circumstances.
Two years later the UniUerSal suffered
heavily by succession of fires that occurred
in the United States, one of which, at the
least, was believed to be an incendiary char
acter. Mr.. Doggett was sent over to consult
with the New York police and investigate.
The day after his arrival Doggett had
just turned into Wall street when he ran
plump against Pierce Wharton in the flesh.
The detective kept his head, wisely refusing
to regard Mr.. Pierce Wharton as an appa-
rition from the other world, and betrayed
no sign of recognition. Doggett was
familiar with Wharton's face in old city
days before the latter's voluntary exile.
There was no mistaking the man, although
he had shaved off his mustache and culti-

EXECUTIONS FOR OVER s45, 900

Brewers Supply Dealers.


The store of L. H. Smith, the dealer in
mantels, on Sixth street, was closed yester-
day by the Sheriff, on executions issued
against him aggregating SIG, ,S29 q. The
executions were for the following sums: L.
G. McCauley, s15, 1856 80; Maria E. veech,

Mr.. O'Reilly, it is stated, said that, when
the old st. Julien Brewery Company failed,
he Endorsed about S35, 900 of its paper. Since
then he has been paying on principal and
interest, and would have continued to pay,
but for the stagnation in business caused by
the Brooks bill and the prohibitory amend
ment agitation.

The Origin Of visiting Cards.

As is the case in many other in
stances, we " the invention OF
visiting cards to the Chinese. So
long as the period of the Tong
dynasty (%61s-sO7) visiting cards
were known to be in common use il
China (says the Toronto Times)
and that is also the date Of the intro
duction OF the red silken cords
which figures so conspicuously Oh
the engagement cards of that coun-
try. From very ancient to the pres
ent day the Chinese have observed
the strictest economy with regard &c
paying of visits. The cards which
they use for this purpose are very
large and usually of q bright red
color. When a Chinaman desires to
marry, his parents intimate that fact
to a professional match maker,
who thereupon runs through the list
of her visiting acquaintance, and
selects one whom abe considers 3
fitting bride for the young man. and
then she calls upon the young
woman's parents, armed with the
bridegroom's card, on which are in
scribed his ancestral name and the
eight symbols which denote the day
of his birth. II the answer is I'D
acceptance Of his suit, the brides
card is sent in return, and should the
oracles prophesy good concerning
the union the particulars of the en-
gagement are written on two large
cards tied together with red cords
