NOVELTY IN CRIME.
Vienna Physicinn Robs His Own Safe
to Obtain Insurance.

A crime OF remarkable and novel
character came TO light here recently
Dr. Tomka, a well-known medical writer
and an aurist. with a large practice at
Budapest, left his house during the
Christmas week and came with his wife
to Vienna. When he returned he discov-
cred that his house had been broken into,
and that jewels and papers to the value
OF 10000 crowns had been taken from
the safe. In itself the opening of the safe
was a masterpiece OF the houscbreaker S
art In the upper part no fewer than
sixty holes were bored the layer OF ashes
was removed. and a similar number OF
holes was pierced in the second plate. In
addition to all the valuable papers, eight
oil paintings were taken, but collection
of rare anatomical preparations was en-
tirely destroyed.
Yesterday the papers were discovered
by the police. Securities belonging To Dr.
Tomka had been sold in Vienna while
their owner was in the Austrian capital.
The police telegra phed to the physician
to come TO Vienna and explain matters.
Dr. TOmka left his own residence. but,
instead of going to the railroad station,
he entered a strange house in a retired
street and threw himself out OF fourth
story window. Death was instantaneous.
lie left behind a letter stating that nerv-
Gus troubles had driven him to suicide,
but doubts quickly arcse as to the ac-
curucy OF this statement.
1t appears that Dr. Tomka had ensured
his property against burglary for 100000
crowns, 50 that in any case he would nave
lost nothing. Further researches In
Budapest and Vienna revealed the fact
that he had broken into his own house
and sold his securities in Vienna, having
disguised himself with u false beard. He
at once reported his alleged loss to the
police and the insurance Office. ON per
cejving the suspicious of the police he
committed suicide. The doctor, VINO was
only lately married, was wealthy and re-
spected. Conjecture Is busy in suggest
ing motives for the crime but up TO the
present the real cause remains unknown.

PROMENADE IN A WATCH.
Gigantic C"ntri,nuce to BE EuiIt for
st. Louis Fair.

A promenade inside a watch that is
all the while doing its ordinary duty of
telling the time is a pleasure in store
for visitors to the forthcoming St Louis
exposition. 1t is even stated that a small
restaurant with walters. cooks. aud the
ordinary paraphernalia of such an insti-
tuition is to be located inside this monster
timepiece. The watch is already in
course of construction. Its Dimensions
are, for a timepece enormous. the
diameter being nearly - feet, and the
height more than 40 feet.
Tiny staircases will be scattered
throughout the watch. and there will be
spacious galleries, where visitors may
pass and repass with ease The wheels
will be so protected that no one can
suffer injury either to person or clothing.
The wheel known as the balance
wheel" will, in THIS monster watch
weigh a ton. while the so-called hair
spring" will be considerably thicker than
a rolling pin. Approximately two min
utes Will be consumed by the swings back
and forth Of the wheel above mentioned
This wheel will be piyOted on two huge
agate blocks.
Needless to say, the handspring of this
extraordinary watch VIII be enormous
Three hundred feet will hardly measure
it's length and it is to be made of ten
spring steel banGs, two inches thick
bound together. as it would be impossible
to roll so large piece.
When finished. the watch will lie on
its back. II will possess polished metal

Enforcement Of Labor Contracts.
The question of the enforcement of the

arisen from inJunctions carelessly issued

judges of inferior courts in States which

rogative writ. and should be awarded
only after the most careful examination
by a tribunal thoroughly competent
Wherever possible, and wherever the
transaction complained of is a simple
criminal offence, it should be left to the
jurisdiction of the local criminal courts
aided. if necessary, by the police or mill
tary authorities: but when the case is
one which is properly a subject of equity
jurisdiction. and where issuance of an in
junction is really necessary to prevent
irreparable loss or wrong IL seems to
be gCing too far to say that no contempt
OF the injunction shall be punished with
out all the delays and safeguards of an
ordinary jury trial. 1t might be well to
limit punishment for contempt to impris-
onment for brief period but euuity
courts must not be deprived OF the power
to protect themselves and make their
DEGREES respected. At the same time the
practice of awarding blanket injunctions
against all the world. or against numer-
Gus unnamed defendants as well as the
practice of indirectly enforcing the con-
tract for personal service by enjoining
employees from quitting work should be
discouraged not only by popular senti-
ment, but by intelligent judicial opinion
There should be no unnecessary depart
ure from the time-honored principle that
the contract of personal service cannot
be specifically enforced, because to do so
entails condition of practical slavery.
