and intended arising at 4 A. NJ. to catch
the early train for his home. At
o'clock, when the family arose. II was
discovered that Mr.. Price was still asleep.

ceeded in arousing him. and he unlocked

removed TO another room, where restora-
tions were administered. DR.. X. T..
Franklin was called in. and succeeded In

lowing the gas to escape. Luckily. the
full head Of gas was not turned on. else
Mr.. Price would not have escaped.

THE COLO-BRIcK CASES.
Preliminary Examinations Of Parker and
Norris Fixed for To-Day.

This will be an interesting day at the
Police Court.
The cases of Thomas III. Parker alias
Frank Lockwood Smith, the gold-brick
swindler. and John II. Norris, the Ohio
detective. who is in Jail as a suspicious
character, Will come up for preliminary
hearing. and while ii IL likely that Mr..
l.. O. Wendenburg. counsel for Parker
will waive examination so far as his eli
ent is concerned. there will probably be a
hard fight to totally vindicate the detec-
tive.
In the event only the case OF Norris
is gone into II will reveal much racy
and interesting information concerning
confidence men and gold-brick sharks.
The detective told a Dispatch man last
night that he had secured warrants and
Information against Parker in the last
two or three days involving the stealing
Of nearly 10000. He says he is ready to
assist the Commonwealth in every way
that he can If his aid is accepted. Mr..
Smith is ready TO so into the case.
Mr.. Withers Is still In the city, and
Emery will probably be In court this
morning.

When the old New York Hotel x,s
about to be torn down. more than A wear
aso. Mr.. Farrell. who was head bar.
keeper there, collected the Bibles In thu
rooms and distributed them Co his friends
So the New York Hotel Bible Soclety,s
was formed. and the Herald printed A
paragraph about Il.
The paragraph was seen by Mrs. Rainh
Preston. and II enabled her 10 recall
something which was greatly 20 her Al.
vantage. She had been married In is9t AZ
the Church OF the Strangers 10 Ralnh
Preston. n son of a wealthy yiryin,,
family. She and her husband nj the ,lme
OF the marriage were guests at the New

RESTORED TO THE WIFE. '
They sailed for Europe the day after
the wedding. There young preston's love
cooled. He left his wife. and she w,s
helped by members ~ the American colo.
ny In Paris. Her husband died. by tho
aid OF her Paris friends she was enabled
10 return 10 this country with her infant
child. Her husbands family refused 20
recognize her. saying that she had never
been legally married To- Preston.
She could not find her marriage certin-
cate. Not until she saw the story In the
Herald did she remember that she had
folded up the document and placed il In
n Bible at the New York Hotel. She cams
at once to New York. She found Mr.. Far
