From the Philadelphia haouirer

from LnS THteuUetDetu inquirer.
PARIS, Sept. ga startling crime has
just been brought to light, aud an heretofore
inexplicable disappearance has been ex-
planned. Two months ago there was not a
live,ier nor prettier nor more popular girls
cite in the Quarter Latin than Julie Dive
let. She was the favorite of all the stu
dents, was the most ardent and exhilaratipg
dancer at the diurnal balls of tho Butler.
and made a greater display than all the
other charming attractions of that agreeable
resort.
She sometimes diversified her pastime as
a danseuse with the more lucrative and
chic character of model but whatever
she did was done with an artistic air and
and an esthetic abandon that attracted the
attention of that mewhat blaSa district
and made her the mark of compliments and
gifts of the great number Of lovers she
might have had.
She, with true feminine lack of discern
ment, selected the very worst one she posi-
bly, could have chosen, and to him she
pinned her faith. her attentions and her
not over opulent resources. This mans
name was Henri Ducazes, and, not content
with the confidence the maiden gave him
and the entire absorption of her earnings,
he did as most Frenchmen do under the
circumstances, became violently jealous
and INDUCED in resonant quarrels based
upon imagination and attributed to a myth

the society he desired to monopolize This
sort Of life was led by the couple for many
months, until their quarrels became a by
word with their acquaintance and they
had the felicity Of knowing that they were
blamed and pitied according as the critic
leaned toward the one or the other.
Some eight weeks ago Julie spent joy
GUS evening with party of lively acquaint-

was usually set for noon, and after that time
she was missing.
Nothing was heard OF her or from her, no
rumor even of her whereabouts not the
slightest trace to her reason or the possible
direction of what was then considered as her
flight. Henri, too, had gone for two days.
The former associates of the couple specu-
lated as to the probable duration of their
absence and the chances of their return
But on the third day the body of Henri was
found floating in the Seine, face downward
and fully clothed.
When the first chapter of the story was
made public and was told by an acquaint-
ance Of Heuri's, who said that In the even
ing of the day when their absence was first
noticed he was dining at one of the boule-
ward cafes when Henri entered and recog-
nizing him took seat at the same table
They conversed for time on different
topics. when suddenly the acquaintance
noticed blood stains on Henri's clothes and
said:
"Why. your coat is splashed with blood;
whore did you get itT
To which. after glancing in startled
way at the stains, he arose froun the table
and rushed out of doors; be hailed a cab,
jumped into it aud drove to tho Place de la
