NEW YORK, April 3.-This is a true story
of tenement house life in New York in one
of its many phases; the story of an old bag
who, having outlived the allotted threescore
and ten years Of human existence in rags
and filthy squalor, falls down on her own
dirty floor in a dying condition from lack
of food and other nourishment while her
vermin-thronged effects are fairly alive
with gold.
At u o'clock to-day the janitor Of the
building at 90 James street reported to
Sergt Maagan Of the Fourth precinct that
Mrs. Catherine Roche, al old woman &C.
cupying room on the third floor, had not
been see for three days, and that her door
wat locked on the inside. Policemen
Walker and Di tai we're sent to investigate.
They climbed UP the fire-escape broke
open the window. Such scene OF squalor
and filth has seldom been witnessed, even IN
the slums of Ills city. On the floor, COW
cred with filthy and ragged garments, was
Mrs. Roche, evidently slowly dying OF
starvation. The woman had not tasted
food for three days and was too weak to
stand. She said she was a native OF Ireland
and 20 years old. An ambulance was sum-
moned and the woman was sent to the
Chambers street hospital.
BANK BOOK.
The first article OF interest discovered by
the policeman was bank book of tho I'm
migrant Savings bank. The first deposits
were to the credit of Daniel Roche, but
later ones to the credit Of Daniel Roche or
niece, Catherine Roche. Soon another
bank book was found under pile Of rags.
Then, in moving some Of the old clothing,
the policemen heard the unInistakable
clink of gold. A package carefully wrapped
in paper and rags was found. 1t was
heavy. The policemen opened it and it was
found to contain a number Of $40 gold
pieces, besides 159 English sovereigns.
Dirt and rags were everywhere. The

The Tomb of Seminole Princess

During his recent visit to Florida Magis-
trate South came across the tomb or an
Indian princess. aud took a photograph Of
her royal highness remains The tomb was
on a beautiful hillock of palmetto trees on
the Klssimmee prairie, $50 miles shout Of
the town Of Kissimmee. Fla, and was built
Of cypress logs. 1t was feet square and 6
feet high, with cross on the top. The re-
mains Of this Seminole princess had long
siuce been reduced to a skeleton, but around
her was the furniture Of her wigwam, while
from her bony neck hung string Of beads,
cameo ring was on her finger, and q silver
watch Of ancient make at her side.
After taking the photograph the tomb was
closed by replacing the ogs. Not "ithstand-
ing the fact that the noble squaw has lain
there for many years, no one, even IN that
wiid country, has ever yet carried off the
ornaments and relics 10 which she was
originally buried.

KANSAS CRY, No., April Horace
McKim, who was chief clerk Of ex-Clty
Treasurer Peake. who embezEled SOS, 900 Of
the city's money, consented to-day, for the
first ii g, to tell what he knew about the
defalcation. He says the shortage began in
September, 1889, when Kingston, Peake a
Co. failed The ex-treasurer was q mem
Der of the firm, aud just before the failure,
made cd out of the city's funds sew
eral large checks OF the firm which
had been dishonored at the bank. Mr.
Peake was also treasurer of the Central
Presbyterian church, and had wrongfullv
appropriated about $500 of the churchis
mouey. When warrants were drawn on
him by the trustees ne would pay them and
instruct bis clerk TO put the warrants in the
cash drawer, and charge them against him
(Peake.
POOLING HIS BoNDsMEN.
Whenever his bondsmea would make an
investigation of his office Peake would
borrow enough cash 10 cover the shortage
and Immediately afterward would return
it. McKim states that Peake has been at
tempting to throw the responsibility of the
dedication upon employees of the office,
and that he has been assisted in this by the
Investigating committee of the council,
which would not hear his (NcKim's) evil
dence. McKim also claims that the prose-
cutting attorney has agreed to mol. pross, the
criminal case against feake. which comes
up for trial in short time on the ground
of lack of evidence. McKim makes the
above statement to clear himself and his
fellow clerks FROM the suspicion that has
been cast upon them.
