Make NV Heart Thy Dwelling.

Father replenish with thy grace
This longing heart OF mine;
Make it thy quiet dwelling-place,
Thy sacred inmost shrine
Forgive that oft my spirit wears
Her time and strength in trivial cares;
Enfold her in thy changeless peace,
So she from all but thee may cease
-Angelus Silesius, 1861.

"LAWFER" WALCoTr REBUKED.
The woman whom He Accused OF Stealing 05
Cents from Him Discharged.

Merritt d. Walcott was robuked by Judge
Jerome In Special Sessions Court yesterday
when he appeared before tho Judges to testify
against Grace Richards, 20 years old. whom ho
caused q policeman TO arrest at 3 A. NJ. last
Sunday on n charge that she had robbed him OF
IS cents in saloon at Seventh avenue and
Forty-hrst street, where they had had several
drinks. WHlCott at the time said that he
lawyer associated with II. b. bradbury at 30
Nassau street. The money he alleged the woman
had stolen was changc for round OF drinks
which he had ordered.
On cross-cxamination Walcott admitted that
he was not lawyer. The prisoner. who has
been locked up In the Tomhs since her arrest,
testified that 1t was brought about by spite,
aroused by her refusal to accept Walcotts ad-
vanCeB
The Judges quickly acquitted tho girl. This
was Judge Jeromo's closing remark 10 Wal.
colt: "It 10 very manifest that no sclfrcspect-
ing court would allow any ono to be convicted
on the testimony Of this complainant. This un-
fortunate woman may not he as good as sho
ought to bo, but her evidence is worthy OF just
as much crcdenCe and entitled to as much

II Leads TO tho Arrest or Richard Linke for

It Leads TO tho Arrest or Richard Linke for
Running n Bogus Rmpioy yment Agency.
Richard Linke, who opened an employment
agency few days ago at IL Montgomery street,
Jersey City, was arrested yesterday on o charge
Of swndling. The complaint was made by
Harry Lang OF 1s Greenwich street. this city.
LanS's story leads the police to believe that
Linke is in collusion with man named Gluck-
man, who keeps an agency at Sl6 Ninth street,
this city. On Sept. 10 Lang called at Gluck-
mans in answer TO an advertisement for col
lector. Gluckman exacted a fee of So and then
sent Lang to LinEc. at 2l9 Third avenue.
GluCkman had guaranteed that he would get a
position. SO Lang says. Linke required Lang
10 pay another fee OF 81 and give $50
security. Lang pawned his watch and rings
ano raised $40. He gave that 10 Lin Ike. and said
he would pay tho balance out OF his wages,
which were fixed at So 80 week Linkc made
him sign a throo months note for $50. Lnke
paid him his salary in installments of 25 or so
cents. and he had received in all $3.50 when
Linke moved TO Jersey City.
i.inke put out two signs in the Jersey City
trai Business Exchange" and the other as tho
star Employment Agency. In day or two
Lang concluded that the establishment was a
swindlng concern and communicated with the
police. The arrest OF Linke followed.
Reinhard Schubert Of o23 Bloomfield street,
Iioboken, Is another complainant. Linke was
remRnded, and the Jersey City police will con-
suit with the police authorities OF this city con-
ccrning Gluckman.

READING, Pa, Sept. 23.-Augustus NJ. Ang-
stadt and his two married sisters. OF this county.
to-day retained Messrs. Rieser and Schaeffer, at
torneys.at-law. of Reading 10 begin proceedings
to set aside the strange and unusual will of DIR.
T. NJ. Angstadt. who committed suicide by
poison In order that he might give his estate to
a suffering pationt he was unable to cure, and
because the patient needed the money moro
than the doctor. DR.. Angstadt was Al years o d.
and was born here. He graduated at Mullen
berg college, was ordained q Lutheran clergy
man at the Theological Seminary in Philadel-
phia, and received q call In Nova Scotia. He
preached four years at Malone Bay and re-
turned. Tn II he went to Jefferson Medical Col
lege, graduated. and two years ago went back to
Nova Scotia and practiced medicine.
Among his patients was young man named
Enoch Elsenhsuer; a great sufferer. whom tho
even after an operation had been performed.
This SO worked on the mind Of DR.. -Angstadt
that he went into the barn OF the Rev. J; Maurer.
took dose of poison, and ended his life. His
last will was opened, in which he directed that
all his property worth about $1,000. he given to
the suffering Mr.. Eisenhauer, and he calls on
"all merciful people who know tho sufferer to
aid him all they can. The first news of this
strange affair camo in a letter to his relatives
written Just before his doath, but the Halifax
Herald also received to-day. contains a long
account OF the suicide. and adds:
DIR. Angstadt did everything In his power to
relieve the pain Of the man. He was hourly
haunted with the face and tho cries Of tho suf-
ferer. until the thought that he could neither
share nor euro the suffering caused him to take
his own life. This knowledge caused this warm.
hearted, oversensitive man to end his days,
leaving his property to the sufferer.
As DR.. Ahgstadts will had no witnesses, his
relatives here and tho attorneys think thero
will be no difficulty in securing the estate for
the heirs here,

Verdict or the CeroneT's Jury as to the Ameri-
car Tract Society Fatality.

Coroner Hoeber and jury concluded tho
inquest yesterday In the case Of Nicholas Mol.
son and Isaac Bachrach, who were killed on tho
night Of Sept. 10 by the falling of one Of tho
passenger elevators in tho American Tract So
ciety building at Nassau and Spruce streets
Bachrach was in charge of the elevator that fell
and Nelson was engineer OF the building.
Before the proceedings began, tho Coroner
said that much valuable time had been wasted
the two preceding days by some Of the lawyers
who had no legal standing in the case.
II have decided" said the Coroner mot to
allow any one of counsel present to question
witnesses except counsel for the Crane Com
pany and for the American Tract Society. We
arc not hero for tho purpose Of obtaining in.
formation for the benefit OF lawyers repre-
senting tho families of deceased TO bring civil
actions upon. / have no objection to tho coun-
sci remaining In court but Will not allow them
TO examine witnesses"
AsselnblyInnn Joseph l. Green, who repre-.
sented the Bachrach family, was indignant at
the Coroner's action.
II appreciate" no said, that have been al
lowed to take part In these proceedings by the
courtesy OF the Coroner, but hope In tho near
books that viii completely cover r. the @ rights Of
relatives or deceaHed persons in cases like this
and give them some standing in Coroner's
Mr.. Green then picked up his hat and walked
out of court.

who was recalled. He said that IL Engineer
Nelson had left tho elevator alone until the
next morning the accident would not have 90
CURED The machinery, he said, was us per-
foct as could be devised by human skill. but
Nelson was not competent to tamper with it.
Norton p. Otis, President OF the Otis Ele-
vator Company, testified that Nelson had re-
ceived instructions not to interfere with tho
machinery of the elevators, and not to attempt
to make repairs II anything went wrong with
the cars at night.
Prof. James L. Denton Of the Stevens Insti
tute gave 1t as his opinion that the leak IN tho
discharge tank was not tho cause of tho aCci-
dent. He said he had not been able to con-
struct theory that would account for 1t.
This concluded the testimony in the case. Tho
jury then retired After some deliberatiou they
handed In tho following verdict, which was
signed by nine of them
"Wo find that the accident was occasioned
by tho release of the safety guards of the ele-
rator after same had been pawled.
"Wo lind that no one who understood the
system In use was in charge at the time. but
hold no one criminally responsible for the ac-
cident; and We recommend. as citizens OF the
community, that hiHh.spced elevators. the use
OF which is open 10 the public, should DO in
charge OF competent engineer ut any and all
times"
John Darragh, the remaining juror, objected
to the words, that no ono who understood tho
system in use was in Charge" but agreed with
the rest of tho verdict
