sTEFFENs COMES TO GRIEF.
The Genial "Dr." Who Swindled the
Screven Captured in Montana

me Genial DR." Who Swindled the
Screven Captured in Montana.
Julius Stelfens, alias Louis Lovick, who
swindled the Screven house out of $500 by
securing the Endorsement of Proprietor
Dub to bogus check last April, was cap
tured the other day in Butte City, Mont.
Detective ST Basch received yesterday from
Chief Detective n. T. Walkers of Helena
letter giving the particulars of Stefens'
arrest, his crime and sentence. Steffens
went by the name Of Hart in Mootana. He
kept up the trick that he played 50 admir-
ably here, and worked several hotels in
the northwest. In Helena he forged two
checks aggregating a little less than 81, 600
The Montana detective inclosed in his
letter TO Detective Bisch a photograph OF
of Steffens He said that Hart, which is
Stetfens' alias in Montana, had forged in
that town $3.50 check, and 81 500 check
on Relnhart Bros. of the Second Ma
tional Bank Of New York. He was arrested
In Butte City, and was tried IN Helena and
convicted of forgery. He received a SEN
tence OF four and one-half years in the
United States penitentiary at Dear Lodge,
Mont.
Before Steffens was taken away to the
penltentiary dispatch was received from
the authorities in Rochester, ". Y, saying
that he had played similar games in that
city, and he was wanted there. Supt.
Cleart of the Rochester police said that
500 was offered for the capture of the
slick-handed swindler. A photograph was
sent to the officer in Rochester. and it was
at once identified as that Of Steffens, and
the Rochester authorities will put him
through when they get a chance.

LIGHTS TWO MILES UNDER WATER
Some OF the Remarkable Things They
Revealed

In the investigations that were under
taken by the Prince of Monaco in deep sea
soundings, says the Electrical ReuielU, an
ingenious method was adopted to obtain
specimens of the living creatures existing
at the bottom of the ocean. The apparatus
used was shown at the Paris exhibition. The
cage in which the submarine animals were
caught, according to LIE Genie CiuiI, con-
sisted of a cylinder of wire, having three
conical entrances, like a lobster pot. ana
weighted for submersion with detachable
weights. 1t was. however, very unlikely
that at these immense depths, where the
darkness is practically total, any fish would
voluntarily find their way into the trap,
aud steps were taken to attract them by a
light placed inside it. Obviously, no light
was available but an electric light, but to
get an electric light TO burn a mile or two
under water was not easy.
The only resource was to supply the in
candescent wire from battery in the trap.
Here, however, another difficulty occurred.
1t was necessary to inclOse the battery,
which had to be Of considerable power in a
box Of some kind, and as the hydrostatic
pressure at such depths was 600 or 700
pounds to the square inch, it was found i'm
possible to make a box which was not
crushed before it reached its destination.
by the curious device Of connecting the box
| with balloon. The balloon was made of
cloth dipped in india rubber and so
arranged that the air in t was in commune
cation with that in the battery box.
| On siuking the apparatus, the hydrostatic
pressure, being virtually uniform all round
| the balloon, compressed it equally on all
sides, forcing the air out Of 1t into the
battery box, until the pressure inside the
box and balloon exactly balanced the pres
sure outside. This process went on to any
| extent, so that at the bottom of the sea, al
| though the balloon was reduced by the
enormous force exerted on it to a small
fraction Of its original size, it still kept the
| internal and external pressure equal. On
raising the apparatus again it expanded as
the pressure diminished, and brought the
battery box to the surface uninjured. So
successful was this device that, not content
with capturing deep sea fish, the prince and
his assistants propose on their next expedi-
ton to send down a Photographic ap-
paratus and bring back negatives of the
bottom Of the ocean, as seen by the electric
light

TO BE FURTHER LOOKED INTO.
The Fackler Case to Go Before the
Grand Jury.

Grand Jury.
There was considerable comment yester-
day upon the verdict of the coroaer's. jury
in the Fackler inquest, and that the jury
should have made up its verdict until
it had heard the testimony of Mrs. Della
Roche and Mrs. Scarboro and her daughter,
the Scarboro family being next-door neigh
bors of the Packers, and the policeman
having been summoned by Mrs. Scarboro,
who heard a scufiiing next door,"
Mrs. Roche was detained in the city
court as a witness until after the coroner's
jury had been discharged. but Coroner
Dixon says that she informed him that she
knew nothing whatever about the circum-
stances Of Mrs Packers death, and had
merely stopped at the stoop and talked to
Fackler during the afternoon.
The ladies VINO visited the Fackler home
to look after the preparation Of the body
for burial found, it is said, evidence that a
woman's hair had been torn out from the
head. Long hair, corresponding to that
OF Mrs. Fackler, was found on the floor.
The condition of the interior of
the dwelling showed signs of q struggle.
Chairs were overturned and tho bedding
was badly disarrauged. fully corroborating
the story OF Mrs. Scarboro that there
mad been struggle in the bedroom.
Solicitor General Fraser sal 4 yesterday that
Mrs. Roche and the Scarboro family should
nave been before the coroner's jury before
the verdict was made up. He said that he
could not stop the case on trial in which
Mrs. Roche was witness. but that her ties
umony should have been taken by the cor
oner's jury. Under all the circumstances
surrounding the case, the solicitor general
says that hs will have thorough investi-
CATION by the superior court grand jury.
Fackler, after the funeral of his wife day
before yesterday afternoon, went to st.
Joseph's infirmarv, where be has since re-
manned. He has applied for weekly IS
sick benefit, such as is paid to members by
the typographical union, of which he is
member, but which he is not likely to get.
1t is understood that the Jurors were
largely guided in their conclusions by the
belief That Fackler was too weak to have
inflicted mortal injuries upon his wife.

A Necessity of Health.

1t is prime necessity of health that the ac-
ton of the bowels should be kept regular. But
the way to overcome temporary fit of consti-
patton. or TO remedy chronic costiveness, is not
to deluge the stomach and drench the bowels
with purgatiyes of violent and painful action.
The happy medium between an imperative and
violent cathartic is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
which acts just sufficiently upon the bowels TO
relax them without pain, and which, being a
wholesome tonic, as well as aperient, has the
effect of strengthening both them and the stom-
internal economy. The removal of bile from the
blood, increased activity of the liver, usually
dormant in cases of costiveness, and sound
icne, as thorough and genial in its effects as it
is safe and pure in composition. Rheumatism,
fever ana ague, kidney troubles and debility
are also remedied by it.
