ArRMPRRANoK LECTURER

Fails TO Appear TO Lecture-Arrestet
and Jailed for an outrageou'
Crime.
Henry Barney, aged forty-three, a resi-
dent of Brooklyn, n. Y, q temperance
| lecturer, who was to have lectured last
| evening before the w. c. T. U. of Fair
Haven at the hall at IL Grand avenue,
corner of North Front street, has fallen
from grace and now lies behind the bars
of station 2. His crime is a most heinous
| one.
He came to this city few days ago we'll
recommended from ladies in wallingford
and several small towns In the state. He
lectured very eloquently Sunday on tenn
perance, and took his audience by storm.
He was recommended to a widow lady,
Mrs. Inez Grosvenor, who, with her little
eight-year-old daughter, Florence, lives at
81 Bright street. Yesterday while In the
house he made improper advances to Mre.
Grosvenor and took improper liberties
with the daughter. The woman ordered
him from her house.
Last evening he became intoxicated and
took Graham Hutchinson, a seven-year-old
girl who lives at 3S Bright street, and Luz
ella Adams, aged nine, of the same street
and number, and the three went up Ferry
street.
He stopped at the st. Francis church and
going up on the steps exposed his person.
He then took tine girls around the church
to the water closet and there tried to out
rage them.
While there he was seen by James q.
Fahy, a conductor on the Consolidated
road who lives at ia Ferry street and was
lust going to work. He arrested the
wretch and brought him to Grand avenue,
where Officers McKeon and Marlowe met
him and took charge of the prisoner.
The prisoner is a medium sized, fairly
good looking, well spoken man. He has
but one arm. He took his arrest very
calmly, and it seemed q vely matter-ot-
course affair to him.
Mr.. Fahy, who caught him, Gays his
name Is not Barney, but Barry, and that he
has lived in this city.
About two hundred people were dissp-
pointed last evening at the non appearance
of the reformer, and more SO when it was
announced that he had been arrested for
drunkenness. What the feelings will be
when the whole facts are known it is not
hard to imagine.
The subject for his lecture lest night was
to have been, Behind the Scenes" The
scenes in his case happen to be prison
bars. He will undoubtedly be bound over
to the superior conrt.

DANBURY, Conn, Aug. -Four hun

York Betting and Packing compsny's
works in Newtown this morning. The
strikers protested against new check sys-
ten which was recently introduced by the
company. The system requires the men
to be numbered and whenever a man enters

check bearing his number in a box at the
entrance to the factory. F. G. Jones Of
New York, manager of the Newtown
works, was sent for and is tonight trying

is about the only industry there. 1t is

An Austrian Couple Eclipse the Ben
der Family.
VIENNA, Jan. 27.-The trial of the
Schneiders, husband and wife, on the
charge of numbering servant girls for the
purpose of obtaining possession of their
money and goods, is attracting wide
spread attention. The Schneiders lived
III secluded place near the city and
made a practice of hiring servant girls
who were from distance and who were
not likely to be missed in Vienna. Having
decoyed them to their house, they killed
the girls, concealed the bodies and kept
whatever the victims brought with them.
Detection was brought about by the cir
cumstance that Johanna Stoiber, an in
tended victim, became suspicious and
succeeded in making her escape.
Since being arrested the Schneiders
have both confessed, the husband laying
the chief guilt upon the wife and she
upon the husband. Schneider told a
shocking story. He admitted that he
himself had murdered one girl and out
ragged two others, but he claimed that mis-
wife had supplied and murdered three.
When asked how the killing was done he
said that the victims We're prevented from
breathing by holding the hand over the
nostrils and mouth. The Schneiders be-
gan to weep and he and the wife broke
out into mutual charges and recrimina-
tons.
The fact that the husband is trained
athlete and the wife a wretched dwarf in
clineS the authorities to the belief that
the husband was the chief perpetrator OF
the murders, the wife assisting in decoy-
ing and plundering the victims.
