An Extraordinary BIackmaiI Case.

From the New York Msil and Express.
An extraordinary Matchmaking case is re-
ported from Vienna A woman of great
wealth received call from a well-dressed
man, who obtained interview on the pre-
tense that he had been the friend of a dead
brother. He opened the conversation by
bringing a large fiat bottle out of his pocket
and telling the lady that unless she handed
over a sum equivalent to 5000 in small
bank notes he would break the bottle in her
presence, adding that the bottle contained
the bacilH of various infectious diseases.
which would certainly cause death to her
self and all her household The lady, with
great presence of mind, temporiZed with
the scoundrel, and left him in the room
while she went into adjoining apartment
to get the money. She hurriedly scrubbed
a note, placed it in a vase and threw it out
of window.
The breaking vase attracted the attention
of q policeman, who read the note. He
called a second police officer to his aid and
entering the house by the servants en-
trance was quickly ushered in, with his
companion, to the ladys presence, who was
found in the act of counting out the notes
to the avarcious gentleman with the fat
bottle. The rascal was seized before he
could do anything with the bottle which
on being examined at the police station
was found to contain variety of the dead
Hest germs In the way Of Asiatic plaques
The blackmailer, 1t seems, was a medical
student, and had stolen the bottle from tho
lecture room Of his hospital. He only re-
ceived eighteen months hard labor.
