for Begging.

Robert I. Johnson, thrty-nine years
old, formerly a minister at Essex, N.
Y, was sentenced to six months on the
island by Justice Noorhis I'm Jefferson
Market Police Court this morning for
begging and obtaining money under
false pretenses. He was very shabbily
dressed, and presented a pitiable figure.
Agent Jerome, of the Gerry Society. who
was the complainant in court, said John
son had been convicted on the same
charge before, and had finished serving
sentence of two years only four
months ago.
Johnson was arrested last night on the
complaint of Banker Charles Lanier, of
30 East Thirty-seventh street, at whose
house he called last night and presented
a begging letter. Lanier sent for a po-
liceman and Johnson was arrested.
Fully thirty letters, addressed to the
most prominent people of the city, to-
gether with three pawn tickets, were
found on him. The letters were all
worded alike Among those whom he
evidently intended to ask for s. were

StubIcA.
SOUTHAMPTON, L. l., Oct. 4-The
stables of the Shlnnecock Inn were COM
pletely destroyed by fire late last night.
The flames started in the Monmouth
County Hunts quarters and spread with
great rapidity.
The stables were occupied by a num-
Der of hounds, horses, deer and foxes,
The animals were released from the
stables, and, startled by the flames and
noise they started for the hills.
Ihe hounds returned after a short
absence, and the deer, foxes and horses
were soon recaptured.
The master of the hounds who slept
In the stable, is said to have had n
narrow escape with his life.
The whippers-in lost all their possess
sions, including saddles, wardrobes and
hunting regalia.
The fire started in a bedroom while
the help were at supper, and as there
was no water convenient the whole barn
burned. There were fourteen valuable
Imported hunters, worth from $1,000 TO
$1,000 each, in the barn at the time of the
fire, but they were all gotten out safely.

HER TESTIMONY DISTORTED.
Witness in the COurte Divorce Case
Not Correctly Interpreted.

Judge Giegerich, OF the Court of Com
mon Pleas, has reserved decision in the
suit brought by Peter Courte for an alb
solute divorce from Charlotte Courte.
The case came up for hearing last
week. The plaintiff testified that his
wife ran away from him while they were
living in Chicago and came to this city
with another man.
The next witness was Mrs. Amanda
Courte, a sister-in-law of the plaintiff.
In her first testimony she testified
that on the night OF Sept. /. while she
was on the roof OF her house In West
Twenty-seventh street, she saw into the
rear windows of the apartments occupied
by the defendant; that on that occasion
Mrs Courte had man in her apart

whore she could not see them.
Judge Pryor did not consider the evil
dcnce sufficient to grant n divorce, and
adjourned the case TO give the plain
tn's lawyer time to Introduce further
evidence.
After the case was adjourned Mrs.
Amanda Courte learned, so she alleges.
that her testimony had not been cor
rectly translated by the interpreter. An
irNestiEation was at once begun and II
was learned that the Interpreter had
been selected from the crowd in the
corridor awaiting naturalization papers,
and that his knowledge of either French
or English was not very good.
When these facts were laid before
Judge Giegerch he ordered another eX-
animation. ON her second examination
Mrs. Courte added many material facts
to her testimony. With this new evil
denCe Judge Giegerich took all the
papers and reserved decision,

a Commercial Cupid.

He wanted her all for his own, as
some foolish lovers do, but she was not
an emotional lnonopolist of that kind.
On the contrary, she had syndicated
her affections, and there were half a

quite as much to her as was this young
Romeo ]. Gould.
Not only had she disposed of a num-
Der of blocks Of stock i'll her heart, but
she gloried in it with true speculative
pride, and when he would seek to claim
her as his own she would taunt him
with it and tell him she could not afford
to make an emotional speciality of him,
and that he must be content with what
she felt inclined to let him have.

redwood trees cut down go years ago
have made sprouts which are new trees

growth of some of these trees which
leads people to doubt their great age,
