The Ruins of Two Great Prehistoric Cities

says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. A great
traveller and clever writer, the Russian
Gen PrjeyalslSy, speaking of the. oasis
of Tchertchen, situated in the great
table lands hemmed in by the there un-
broken wall of the Himalayas, says
that close to it are the ruins of two
great cities, the Oldest of which, ac-
cording to local tradition, was de-
stroyed three thousand years ago, and
the other by the Mongolians in the
tenth century of our era. The en-
placement Of the two cities is now COW
cred, owing to the shifting sands and
desert winds, with strange and hetero-.
geneous relics, broken china, kitchen
utensils and human bones. The ma
tives often find copper and gold coins,
ingots, diamonds and turquoises, and,
what is most remarkable, broken glass.
Coffins of some undecaying wood or
material are there also, within which
beautifully preserved embalmed bodies
are found. The male mummies are all

Defaulter Brady Captured.
Oregonian.

Frank G. Brady, who left Portland
early in July, 1892, with $l5, 900, mainly
funds of the Sunnyside Land & I'm prove
ment Company, was arrested yester-
day at Leavenworth, Kan. He was
apprehended through the instrument
tality of Henry w. Minister and Thomas
G. Conklin, the respective superintend-
ents of the Portland and Kansas City
branches of the Pinkerton National
Detective Agency.
The story of Brady's criminal career
is an interesting one. He came to this
city about six years ago, and took the
position of bookkeeper and confidential
clerk of THE OREGoNIAN. He was a
very competent man, and his diligence
and attention to business soon gained
for him the Sunnyside Land & Improve
ment Company. During his connection
with this company he embezzled thou
sands of dollars, but so cleverly did he
conduct his operations that not a
shadow of suspicion was fastened upon
him until after his departure for un-
known pastures.

A Diamond Thief Captured.

New YORK, Feb. 16.-C. T. de M.
Drew, a stylishly-clad Englishman,
about 80 years old, was arraigned in the
Jefferson market police court yesterday,
accused of stealing pair of diamond
earrings worth $500. Tie wife of DIR. G .
Bettini di Noise, director of the
Italian hospital, was the complainant.
Drew engaged a room at the DOCTORS
home about four months ago. Not long
after the coming of the new boarder,
things of value began to disappear. The
doctors medical instruments went first,
but although the other boarders were
told to leave the house, no suspicious
attached to the Englishman until last
Tuesday. On that day the DOCTORS wife
went to see a friend off to Europe.
During her absence Drew entered her
rooom, and the maid saw him examining
the diamond earrings, which were
stuck in cushion on the bureau. The
next day the diamonds disappeared,
and Mrs. di Noise reported the matter
to the police, and Drew was arrested.
In his pockets were found package of
English pawn tickets, and in his room
there were numerous pawn tickets is
sued in this country. Drew was held
in $1,000 bail. The police think the
man is a very clever and dangerous
criminal.
