ESPECIAL rELEeRAh TO THE pIsPkrCH.f
NEW YORK, June 21.-Henry Harding,
an Englishman in good circumstances, came
to this country in 1888 on business. Two
weeks ago he kidnapped his own child in
Brooklyn and sailed for England. This
closed strange domestic melodrama in
which an artists model was the
principal actor. While in New York
the first time Harding met, in the
studio Of an artist, young girl whose
scarcely matured beauty made her a model
much sought after in the studios. Her name
was Jennie Hamilton, and her age was 16.
Harding fell in love with her. Within q
lew months they were married. They lived
In New York for eight months, and then
suddenly the young wife disappeared.
ELoPED WITH AN ARTIST.
1t was speedily discovered that she had
eloped with an artist, one who had formerly
employed her as a model. 1t was terrible
blow to Harding. He at once abandoned
his business in New York and returned to
England. He found himself unable to re-
main there, and year later he came back
to find his wife. He did find her. She was
anxious to return to him, and he was glad to
forgive her and re-establish their home.
During their separation a little girl had
been born, and all three went to live in n
pleasant home in Newark. The home was
happy one for three years. Then they moved
to Brooklyn. 1t was in connection with fur
nishing their new home that the new trouble
began. Mrs. Harding, in purchas-
ing furniture, became acquainted with
r. j. Armbeister, who was con-
nected with a large furniture
establishment. They met clandestinely.
Harding discovered it and again went to
England. After remaining in England
more than year, Harding came back here,
determined to secure a divorce and get pos
session of his little girl.
When he arrived Harding EMPLOYED de-
tectives to find the couple. Their residence
was found in curious way. Both Arm
beister and Mrs. Harding were e1-
tremely fond of music and thew
were singers of no mean ability.
A female detective remembered having
seen among the recent issues of new songs, a
piece Of music bearing Armbeister's rather
peculiar name. The publishers reported
that Armbeister was dead, and that his sup
posed wife had been to them to collect the
money due him with which to bury him.
Later it was found that Mrs. Harding was
also dead and had been buried in the same
grave with her lover. Harding found his g.
yesr-old daughter living with her grand
mother in Brooklyn, and stole her away.
Meantime the deserted wife and children,
Mrs. Armbeister and her little ones are liv-
ing humbly in narrow apartments on ths
Top floor of 143 Lorimer street, Brooklyn.

Then, too, the tin deposits Of South
Dakota and extending into Wyoming,
among the Black Hills, have long been
known to be the richest in the world, but
CAPITAL has neglected them, in spite of the
fact that the United States annually i'm
port $50 900 900 worth ofpig tin. But now a
gigantic syndicate has been formed among
number of capitalist in Chicago, Balti-
more. Omaha, Pittsburg and other cities,
that proposes to buy all the promising
locations in Bear Gulch and the adjoining
tin country, and to develop and treat the
ores of these mines.
Chicago men have agreed to raise
$4,000, 600 for the purpose. and the other
cities mentioned above will contribute
enough to run the amount to $40 ,000,OOO.
This will not only keep in the country
money hitherto sent to Europe but will
build upan industry furnishing thousands
with employment.
Tin ore has also been recently struck
three miles from Barker. Montana. Three
men are discoveries of vein, which they
have cross-cut for twelve feet Without find
ing the other wall The orc and formation
both. when compared, are identical to
that of the famous Eta tin mines of
Black Hills. Assays have not yet been
obtained, but there is no doubt it will run
as high, if not higher than the Eta
specimens which have been compared
with it, and it averages per cent. If it
continues according to surface indications
one of the largest mines in the world has
been struck at Barker. Like the Black
Hills tin mines, it carries a large per cent
of tourmaline, which, of course, rem
ders it base. The only thing that now
depends upon its being a tin mine of value
is to determine its extent, which is about
.all there is to be done for any tin mine
ever discovered west of the Mississippi
river, for any tin ore that will yield 3 per
cent or more will pay. The tin mines of
Cornwall pay but . per cent and 100000
tons of ore now on the dump of the Har-
vey Polk tin mine averages three per cent.
This discovery, it is believed, is only the
first of many yet to be made and at no
distant day the Belt mountains will COM
pare favorably in all mineral resources,
with perhaps the exception of gold,w with her
twin sister, the Black Hills Of South
Dakota.
