1t Was Given Away by n Negro Named
Albert johnson.
1t is now certain that the Shea raid was
given away before the policemen, under Ser
geant Daley. reached the house. A negro
named Albert johnson, who spends much of
his time on the sidewalk about the neighbor-
hood Of the Police Court, and who does odd
jobs for lawyers, Is the individual who gave
the information to Lawyer Eugene j. b.
O'Neill. This lawyer defended Shea when
he was tried months ago. and the negro
naturally supposed that he would appear
this time in the same capacity. The war
rant was sworn out Monday. and that after
noon johnson told O'Neill about 1t. He
claimed that another negro named Ian
caster, who is known to the police as
Lang, told him about the intended raid,
and wanted $50 for the information. Law
yer y Neill told a Star reporter thfs morning
tnat he assured the negro that he would
pay the money for the information IL 1t was
a put-up job and he would tell how the
JoD was fixed. This, Of course, was to be
PAID In the event of ONeilrs employment
as counsel. But ONeill was not employed
IN the case and 1t Is needless to say that

case and he will defend Shea. The colored

Favorable Conditions Were the Feat.
ures of the Past Week.
A low death rate has prevailed during
another week. AS favorable as was the last
report by the health department it has been
followed by still further improvement in
the rate Of mortality throughout the city.
The decline from week before last is COM
paratively small, but the reports indicate
the almost total absence of contagious dis
eases in fatal form and a material decline
In the sickness among young children.
There was no death from either diphtheria
or scarlet lever reported, while there were
seven fatal cases denominated as typhoid
fever against six during the same period
last year and eight in the year previous to
that. But few aged people were called
hence. and in general terms it may be said
that there was marked repression in the
prevalence of constitutional ailments.
The report for the week ending Septem-
Der 10 is as follows: Number of deaths-9O;
white, 80; colOred, 81 Death rate per 1000
per annum-White. 1872; colored, 17.9; total
population, 1874. Twenty-eight were under
nve years OF age. q were under one year
old and II over sixty years. Twelve of the
deaths occurred in hospitals and public in
situations.
The deaths by classes were as follows:
Zymotic. Is; constitutional, Ii; local, AZ;
developmental. 4; violence, g.
The principal causes of death were: Con-
sumption, 9; diarrhoeal, u: typhoid fever, 4:

lungs, 2; bronchitis, 1; whooping cough, -
kidney diseases. ]; meningitis. 1; cancers, 3.

From Harper's Bazaar.
One of the most distasteful of housekeep-
Ing duties is the weekly mending, and still
worse the monthly mending-for the inch
darn that. would have been all sufficient
three weeks earlier now demands a full
half hour of steady work that raises strong
doubts as to. whether the game is worth
the candle, while toes and heels have come
through stockings that needed only a few
stitches when first noticed. The woman
who hesitates about m ending at the outset
nipping decay in the bud, as it were, is as
suredly lost so far as any further satisfac-
ton in the neglected garments is concern
ed, and every time they are washed fresh
gaps are sure to appear.
The smallest thin place should be dsrned
as evenly as though it were embroidery,
and the dGrning stitch is often used for this
purpose. When fine and regular, the work
is really beautiful, and in imparting this
fact to child will greatly mitigate the
woes of her first lesson in darning The
evenness and regularity of a darn give it
dignity and elevate it into a work of art.
1t is important, however, to know when
to darn and when not to darn, as most wo-
mems time in these busy days is of far
more value than ordinary material in
half-Worn condition.
