noppnRY IN THE MARKET.
A hold and Slick Scheme that Worked
Successfully.


A hold and Slick Scheme that Worked
Successfully.
One OF the boldcst robberies on rec
ord was successfully worked in the Sec
ond ward market yesterday forenoon
toward the close of Market hours.
George Zoeckler, the Fulton butcher,
had left his stall to get a lunch, leaving
his boy t o look after it. A strange man,
we'll dressed, soon stopped at the place
and asked the boy where his father
was. Being told, he asked the boy to
go and bring him to the stall, as the
stranger had to leave town in q few
minutes, and Mr.. Zoeckler owed him
some money for hogs, and he wanted to
get it before he left,
The boy did as requested without
suspicion, but when he and his mysti-
fed father returned the hog merchant
was gone; SO were the contents of the
money drawer, between S45 and $50.
There were a good many people about
at tho time, and to force open the
drawer and take out the money was a
bold proceeding. Nobody seems TO
have seen the thief, and no clue to his
identity was left.

sweethearts for "A year. She is only sew

He had not been home since. but Sat

NO MONEY, N HYNEN.
Louis ROSen Sold Bananas and Wore a
Stunning Yachting Cap.
IDA GOLDE LOVED HIM AND DEPOSITED
MARRIAGE FORFEIT.
HIS FORTUNE AND HER FANCY FADED.

Ida Code, the cight~cen-year-old dnuEh-
ter of the venerable Rabbi HirsCh
Code. of No. 1Oj Clinton street,
loved Louis Roscn so fondly that she
deposited 500. her own savings, with
Banker Moses Jarmulowsky, OF No. j6
Canal street. as forfeit To insure her
leading the young man to the altar.
Under the terms of the 'tenoyim,"
or Hebrew marriage contract, signed
by the couple amid great rejoicinEs
at the house of Hirsch Code, should
the daughter OF the house fail to
merry Rosen, half of the So" should he
paid to Itosen, who had deposited moth
in ana IA therefore in a "heads-l-
win-tails-you-lose'' position.
Ida Code finally concluded she did not
want Louis Itosen. Perhaps 1t vas be-
cause the Sl.SO0 Rosen was supposed to
have in the Citizens Savings Bank and
other institutions proved to be n myth.
and perhaps 1t was because she had tired
of his y~achting-cap, that had long been
regarded as the most fashionable thing
of its sort in either Clinton or Essex
streets. At all events she threw Rosen
over and began suit against the banker
for the recovery OF her 500 stake. Rosen.
having lost the girl, claimed his half of
aer deposit. The banker made Rosen
co-defendant, and yesterday the case
came to trial in the Fifth District Court
to determine whether or not the wounded
feelings of the yachting-Cap young man
should be a%ssulged with the 500.
Yesterday the maiden and the young
man. Ida and Louis, were in court,
much awe-stricken in the presence
of Judge Goldfogle. Louis carried his
beautiful yachting cap and twirled 1t
%nervously as he awaited his turn in the
chair. The rabbi aud his daughter tes-
titled as to Iouis's representations that
he had the 81 500. Miss Ida flushed as
she said her lover had SO represented,
and ROsen so far forgot himself that
he ShOuted:
you are n liar!'

Then the erstwhile lover subsidized.
Neither father nor daughter could re-

Rosen said he had never represented
thii n" hat E.NW and that he had never
seen so much money in all his life. He

a good citizen"
The jury believed tha he had made
representations about his fictitious $l,SlO,

only attraction he possessed. After a
