Perclvnl Pollard.

Henri Dumay, until lately editor OF the Crit
| terion weekly. and Percival Pollard. u writer
for the publication, are being anxiously
watched these days by their friends. They
have spoken unkind words. Messages are
known to have passed between them. Dumay
has gone to live at the Hotel Griffou, Q
famous resort for French .swordsmen. Pollard
is said to DO perched in an eyrie overlooking
Madison Square Park composing his autobiog-
raphy, which is a compilation of his works up
TO the present day, published and unpub-
lished. Any moment may bring news that will
stir ND cyclones or emotion in the breasts
of all who have followed the affairs or
the Criterion. Whence the fated tidings
may come. no one knows. They may come from
the heights of Hoboken or the sands of Norton's
Point. But this is certain: two great souls are
stirred with reciprocal wrath, and each has
uttered the fateful words:
Something has got to be done about this!'
A call at the Griffou last night resulted
in the tidings that Mr.. Dumay had gone

PARIS. March 7.-Ther Is much excitement
here over the mysterious death of Moses Leh-
mann. who was known under many aliases. and
who was found dead the other day In his lodging
house. He was identified as the forger of a
letter signed "otto." purporting to emanate
from the German Embassy here. discriminating
Count Esterhazy in the sale of military secrets.
1t was this letter that trapped Nj. Rochefort.
editor Of the Intrdnsi0eant, and led him to mako
an attack upon N. Reinach in that paper.
which subsequently led to his imprisonment for
libel.
The authorities give out that Lehman COM
mitted suicide, but they refuse to allow the body
to be seen at the morgue. 1t is probably this
latter fact that has started the rumors that
ehman was murdered for the purpose Of
silencing him. An inquiry is demanded.

Of the story that tho British flag had been

Barney Scullion, who was arrested
several days ago and charged with re-
ceiving a number of sets of buggy har-
ness, knowing them to have been stol-

case in the Superior Court several
months ago.
Justice Henry set the examination
for Wednesday next, and fixed Scul-
lions bonds at $500.
An officer accompanied Scullion about
town in search Of bondsmen for several
hours, but only one person was found
willing to bail for Scullon, and he
still lanquishes behind the bars.
Yesterday another search of Soul
lions premises brought to light por-
tions of a harness stolen from Frank
B. Smith. near Florin, and a saddle
stolen from dairyman z. Hubert, who
lives at Thirty-first and M streets, was
also found there.
When the officers called at Scullion's
place on Wednesday night, just prior TO
placing him under arrest, a woman l1Y-
ing in the house told them that when
they entered the front door Scullon' s
son Harry, who has been in business
with him, left by the back door, and
his present whereabouts are unknown.
1t is understood that an additional
charge will be brought by James
Sharp whose harness found its way
