Mr.. Rockefeller and Mr.. Morgan each
looked surprised at seeing the other
present. When the roll was called
they answered to their names and
when called upon to serve as jurors
they quietly took their seats, Mr.. Rock
efeller sitting a tier above Mr. Morgan.
AS the witnesses appeared before I'm
der Sheriff Mulvaney for examination
they gazed aSkance at the unusually
well-groomed jury before them. They
were not accustomed to seeing jurors
in frock coats, holding shining silk
hats in hand.
After disposing of three title cases
they listened to the testimony of Rich
ard Tapolian, who had brought suit
against his employer, George B. Chris
tian, for damages received by falling
beam. He asked for $4,000, but the jury
only gave him $1,000. The case that
provided genuine enjoyment to Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Morgan was that
of Mary E. Dowd against Bridget
White for SANDER. The plaintiff sued
for $4,000 damages, but the jury only
assessed the damage at $50. The wo-
men were employed in a box factory

and Mr.. Morgan had difnculty in re-
straining their laughter. More than
once a litter was family audible in
the court room. Proudly facing them
and looking at Mr.. Morgan, she said:

After the cases had been disposed of
the third panel held business meet

From the New York World.

Lewis c. Tewksbury, stock broker,
horseman and man-about-town, who
disappeared from his offices at No. 80
Broadway, on June 90 last, leaving
creditors vainly looking for sums es-
timated at 100000 intrusted to his
care, is doing a thriving business in
the City of Mexico, where he is living
in opulence under an assumed name
and enjoying the friendship of high Of
ficials in the republic of Mexico.
A few weeks after he vanished from
New York Tewksbury leased for five
years a store nearly opposite and from
Americana, on Gale de San Francisco,
in the most advantageous section of
the City of Mexico. This he fitted up
in the most magnificent style. The
World correspondent reports that the
place has no equal in the republic.
The discovery that Tewksbury is liv-
ing prosperOuSly in the Mexican CAPT.
tai was verified yesterday by we'll
known New York woman living on the
upper west side. At the request of this
woman, who know sthe broker person
ally, her name is withheld. When ask
ed if she had seen Tewksbury in the
City of Mexico. she replied that she
had visited his store there few weeks
ago, and that she had seen the broker
both at the store and at several priv
ate functions.
Il thought it strange at the time
she said, that a man of his New York
connections should have made that
city his home. He was living in fine
style and had the confidence of the
business men of the city. There was
no question there as to his honesty,
and he was such a favorite, both So
cially and in a business way. that an
impeachment of his honor would have
resulted unfavorably for his accuser'
The disappearance of Tewksbury Gre
ated a sensation in Wall street, where
it was generally believed that he was
wealthy and that his brokerage meth
DDS were legitimate. OF the forty
creditors notone would swear out a
warrant for his arrest, declaring that
he would return and settle his obi
cations. So great has been the faith
of those to whom Tewksbury owed
large sums of money that even today
they hold to the same opinion. Those
however. who were intimately asso-
ciated with the broker were not sur
prised at the collapse.
Tewksbury came to this citl from
Manchester, N. H, in 1888, bringing
with him little money and an abun-
dance of Yankee shrewdness and nerve
His meteoric fight to wealth began
shortly after his arrival, when he be-
came member of the Consolidated

She sought assistance from the Old
Slip station and in a fair, round hand
set forth the facts in the case. De-
tective Quigley accompanied her to
the little cobbler's shop in Coenties
Slip. They found Samuel hard at work
at his bench, but he smiled sardOni-
cally when asked to return the wheel.
All hands adjourned to the Center
street court, where the puzzling case
was presented to the judicial mind of
Magistrate Flammer.
Plaintiff and defendant were provid-
ed with states.
Detective Quigley stated the facts
of the case in spoken language, and
then Magistrate Flammer took up the
pencil.
Where is the bicycle?" and did
you take it?" he wrote.
Il did" and q won't tell, because she
refused to marry me-"
But you must tell,' wrote the mag
istrate.

Then the widow turned her SORROW
full eyes upon her lover. Her hands
flew. His flew in return. They grew
more and more excited, and the pris-
Oner turned a radiant face to the mag
istrate.
"She has promised to marry him,

"DismisSed,'' shouted Magistrate
Flammer so loud that even the deaf
ought tOhave heard. And arm in arm
the erstwhile vindictive couple left the
court room to seek deaf and dumb

RICn MEN ON THE JURY.
j. Pierpont Morgan and Rockefeller
Hear a $50 Case.

New York millionaireS have hereto
fore shown an aversion to serving as
jurors. preferring to pay the 800 fine
which the court usually inflicted. To-
day some of them found out how much
there was of interest and amusement
in the nearby world which they had
missed. William Rockefeller, ]. Pier
pont Morgan, Peter Cooper Hewitt and
other wealthy men like Frederick T.
Adams, Francis Draz. Benjamin T.
Rhodes, Frederick l.. Eldridge and A.
A. Seligsberg acted as jurors on the

The aggregate wealth of the jury
would probably amount to hundreds of
millions and they solemnly discussed
the pros and cons in a suit for Islander
in which two Irish women were the

ed damages not greater than $4,000.
When court convened there were about
sixty out of the 100 members of the
third panel present.
Did you ever see SO many 'sleepers
here before?" ventured a court attache
to Under Sheriff Mulvaney. In court
house parlance a sleeper" is a juror
who generally pays his fine in prefer

the under sheriff made no reply he
could scarcely repress a smile as he
glanced around him. There was Just

Special Correspondence of The Herald.
PHOENIX, A. T, Dec. 16-'F1re wa
ter" could not have had the powerful
effect on the ignorant Papago Indians
south of Tucson, as did the curious
teachings Of Julia Schaffer, one of the
most remarkable of religious fanatics.
Where the woman is now, nobody
seems to know The Indians are in a
rage because she has been frightened
on the reservation By the whites. and
they threaten trouble in case the wo-
man, who is regarded as messenger
from the happy hunting grounds. is
not restored to them. Julia Pa
pago squaw, who was almost adored by
all Papagos who held her up as an ea-
ponent of virtue and beauty, is in the
wreck because she accepted the teach
ings of Julia Schaffer. The Indians
assert positively that this woman is
possessed of remarkable healing pow
ers They believed in her teachings
because they seemed reasonable, but
they were certain the woman was di-
vine messenger when she performed
several miracles. She causes the blind
to see and the lame to walk. according
to the Indians and restored to health
several Indians who were on their
death bed.
Julia Schaffer's doctrine is peculiar
mixture, embracing parts of the creeds
OF the Jews. the Hindoos, the Bramahs
and the Indians OF this country She
believes in many of the commandments
but does not seek to discourage the
practice of plural wives. The domi-
nent feature of the new creed is the be-
lief in dreams. which according to the
strange woman presage ones future.
When she first went among the In
dams several weeks ago the Papagoes
regarded her with suspicion. They
soon abandoned their own religion,
however, and the teaching of mis-
sionaries and followed the woman
about az the diciples followed Jesus
Christ. She exercised complete control
over her subjects and proceeded to
launch a Utopian manner of living in
which the Indians were to earn their
bread without sweating at the brow.

She commenced by telling them that
they must abide by the apparent teach
ings of their dreams, and that by them
they can obtain glimpses of the future.
She declared the world would soon
cease to exist or would be hurled into
unlimited space, when the Indians
would take up their bows and arrows.
many miles from the deserts of the
Apaches.
The strange womans teachings have
made a wonderful effect on the Indians.
Some of them are morose on account
of unpleasant dreams and contemplate
suicide, while others have abandoned
their ordinary pursuits and are patient
Iy awaiting the happiness indicated in
their visions. Most of the Papagoes
are on the verge of insanity and the
authorities are encountering a great
deal of difficulty in correcting the eff
feet of the peculiar teachings and re-
storing the Indians to their normal
methods of living. Soon after Julia
Schaffer commenced working among
the reds, J. Harndon. of the Tucson
mission school, went into the reserva-
ton to preach as usual, but he could
assemble no congregation. The women
and bucks had turned their heads to-
ward a more fascinating creed.
Julia Schaffer came to Phoenix about
a year ago and manifested a great deal
of interest in the Mormon religion
which she studied in the smaller towns
near this place. Very little is known
of her. She is a mixture of Dutch and
Indian and her husband recently came
from Holland. She established a col
ony in Phoenix and taught the strange
creed which she said had been revealed
to her in a vision.
She soon obtained a number of fol-
lowers. One of them created a scene
on the streets by announcing to a
large assembly of citizens the early ar
rival of Jesus Christ, and the follow
ing day he was committed to the asy-
lum. Others of the eccentric flock
were later adjudged insane. but evil
dence strong enough to establish the
insanity of the woman. who on all
matters Except religion appeared abso-
lutely rational and even intelligent,
could not be produced. She left Phoe-
nix quietly few months ago and moth
ing more was heard of her until she
made her appearance among the ig-
norant Papagoes.

magnetic in manner, suave, courteous
and possessed admirable GOODNESS.
1t was said of him that he could lose
$500. 900 without showing the slightest
time he had great wealth. An init
mate friend declared at the time the
firm went to the wall that TewkSbury
once owned government bonds alone
valued at 81 100000. In addition he
bought house on West Seventy-sec-
ond street for 100000 and was the
owner of the famous PAGERS John r.
Gentry. with record of 2:00h, and
Robert j., 2:O11a.
Tewksbury was lover of art, and
his magnificent home was filled with
choice collections of statuary, tapes
tries and bric-a-brac. The collecting
of scarf-pinS was one of his fadS, and
it is said that no price was too great
for a pin, once he made up his mind
that he wanted it. Among his associ-
ateS Tewksbury was known as one of
the most prosperous bankers and brok-
ers in town, a liberal entertainer and
a man who would bet any amount in
backing his judgment.
His greatest fad was driving fast
horses. Robert J. and John R. Gentry
at the time the two greatest PAGERS in
the world, were taken off the track
and put in road harness. He built
magnificent stable and seemed to have
unlimited means to crafty his tastes.
He built palatial private car to take
his horses about the country with him.
