Police Points.

Yesterday morning several OF the
residents down along Second avenue
in the vicinity of Eleventh and
Twelfth streets found that on the
previous evening they had been
bothered with some one pilfering
flowers. etc. \ step-ladder and
porch chair were also missed and the
facts were reported 10 Chief Sexton.
The latter detailed Officer Ryan on
the case. who afterward reported
some matters to his chief which re-
suited in the latter going to a resi-
dence down on Fourth avenue and
finding the missing articles. The
woman was in trouble only a short
time ago and was not arrested this
time. a. the facts surrounding the
last occurrence seem TO leave a doubt
in the chiefs mind a. to whether the
actions are with view of personal
gain ~ rather an affection OF klope-
mania. Ii the latter ii i indeed a
misfortune.

Dempsey Is Guilty.

litSbnrs. Jan. 21.-.Iudgr Stowe de-
llverrd his charge in the Homestead
poisoning case against Hugh +. Dempsey,
| district master workman of the X. of
L.. at the opening of court to-day. and
the special jury returned with Il verdict
of guilty. In his charge Judge Stowe
said:
You will first determine as questions
OF fact whether poison was used by
Gallagher in the mill. us he says it was,
and if SO whether w. H. Griffith. the
man named in the Indictment. was sick
rned 10y such poison, and if So whether
Hugh II. Dempsey. the defendant was II
party to such poisoning as alleged by the
commonwealth. l have carefully avoid
cd anything like an opinion upon either
of these facts hccauS" it is for YOU alone
to determine them and render your YER
dict III accordance with such dctermna-
ton. without fear Or favor.
The jury WAS out about three hours
They came INTO court once and asked
for further instructions as to the third
and fourth counts which charged defend
ant with conspiracy with divers persons
unknown L" administer poison. The
court told the jury there waS no evil
uencr to warrant conviction on these
counts. and the case turned on the first
count. which charged him with ;ldIniniS-
trring poison with the intent to commit
murder. If the jury believed him guilty
of being implicated in the administration
of poison. he was guilty on the first
count. The court room wuS crowded
with frit nIs of the defendant at the time
and the verdict created Il sensation. but
there was no outward demonstration.
The defendant turn vi pale at the an
noulccment and at one left the court
room in company with his counsel. He
is under $4,000 bail.
The extreme penalty for the crime of
which Dempsey has been convicted is Il
fine of $500 and ten years Imprisonment.

with stomach trouble, and was for
all that time under treatment by a
physician. He finally, after trying
everything, said my stomach was
worn out, and that I would have to
cease eating solid food. On the rec

a bottle of August Flower. Itseem-

TOMB OF A ROMANTIC PAST.
Venice No Longer a Living City. but
Merely Vast Museum,

Venice No Longer a Living City. but
Merely a Vast Museum.
Venetian life in the large old sense
has since come to an end, and the es-
sential present character OF the most
melancholy OF cities resides simply in
its being the most beautiful OF tombs,
says Scribner's. Nowhere else has the
past been laid to rest with such ten
derness. such a sadness OF resignation
and remembrance. Nowhere else is
the present so alien, so discontinuous
so like crowd in cemetery without
garlands for the graves. 1t has no
flowers in it's hands, but as COM
pensation, perhaps-and the thing is
doubtless more to the point-it has
money and little red books. The ever
lasting shuttle, in the piazza, of these
irresponsiblevisitors is contemporary
Venetian life. Everything else is only a
reverberation of that. The vast mau-
soleum has a turnstile at the door, and
q functionary in shabby uniform
lets you in, as per tariff, to see how
dead it is. From this constation,
this cold curiosity, proceed all the in
dustry, the prosperity, the vitality of
the place. The shopkeepers and gon-
doliers, the beggars and the models,
depend upon it for a living; they are
the custodians and the ushers OF the
great museum-they are even them
selves to certain extent the objects
on exhibition. 1t is in the WIDE vesti-
bule of the square that the polygot
pilgrims gather most densely; Plaza
San Marco is like the lobby OF the
opera in the intervals OF the perform
ance. The present fortune Of Venice,
the lamentable difference, is most
easily measured there, and that is
why, in the effort to resist our pessim.
ism, we must turn away both from
the purchasers and from the vendors

OF this city determined 10 hold Il process
sion to impress upon the authorities and
citizens the lire poverty which is af-
ilic;ing the working classes To-day was
thu time fixed for the procession. and at
an early hour men began to gather from
all parts of the city. After great con-
fusion the line was started No csti-
mates have been made us to the number
of men who took part, but in view of
what occurred. it was fortunate that
the large number who did march had no
firearms. As 4 matter of course. the
socialists here had much if not all to
do with the procession, and when it
started many of the men began to
sing SocialiStc SONGS. The procession
passed through Il number Of the principal
streets, CROWN" noiSer and more lcmOn-

did not interfere. Finally they became
so disortrrly that a body of POO police
attempted to diSpcrSc them. The mob

were quite badly injured. The police,
with drawn swords. rapidly charged the

broken up. but even then isolated patches
of the rioters continued fighting for hours.
The leaders of the mob We're captured

much excitement in the city. and it is
