than Deeming For the heet fifteen yeare
Ile has pessed from place to place on ,the
continent, killing, robbing and lilac:Ismail-
ing without rest. He speaks all Continental
languages, and confesims to at leaet sixty
crimee, He began his criminal cereer in
Copenhagen as a pickpocket. He tried to
rob a Walk, was suspected, and fled to
Switzerland. To escape detection he
entered a monastery near Berne, where
he earned a reputation for exceptional
piety. At the end of six months he atole
part of the corn/minion service, rifled the
treasury of 5,000f. and fled to Italy. .After
squandering the money in Rome he entered
another monastery, from which he disap-
peared shortly after with several hundred
francsvvorth of silver plate. This robbery
was committed near Flerence. Thence he
event through Southern Itely and Sicily
alternately as a highwayman and monk.
•Near Palermo he is said to have killed a
man who resisted his attempt at robbery in
the etreet From Italy Hanna went to
Bosnia, where he robbed a convent and a
clauroh. In Berlin he passed a few weeks
in spending about 12,000f. which he had
realized from his monastic life, and then
•proceeded to Hanover, where he joined
an infantry regiment. He stole
night hundred marks from the officer
at Whinee personal service he was
placed, and deserted before the theft was
discovered. He was captured while making
his way toward. the French border. Hewas
then disguieen as a monk, and lied the
money concealed in the skirts of his habit.
To avoid suspicion he was begging his way
from door to door. He was tried and sen-
tenced to two years' imprisonment in tlae
fortress at Mayence, but escaped by letting
himself over the wall at night. He went
directly to Paris, where, for a few months,
he was the most expert of the city's confi-
dence men. With the money obtained in
this period he set up a flasher establiehment,
introducing himself as a foreign count who
had adopted France as his country. On
the strength of his military experience
in eHanover he posed as a military
mane and eventually joined the French
"army. He served some time in the French
Legion of Honor. •When his funds -began
to dwindle he again put on the garb of a
monk, and after numerous robberies and
attempted murders in French monasteries
he brought up, one year ago, as a Trappist
brother in Aigne-Belle. e affected the
utmost piety, and gave to the Order two
or three hundred francs, which he had
with him when he entered it. One eight,
in the sixth month of his residence there, he
entered the room of Pere Ildefonse, the
bursar, killed him and fled, taking with him
12,135 francs in notes and securities
belonging to the Order. During his trial
Hadelt behaved with the utmost callousness,
alternately laugningat the testimonyagainst
him and glorying in the narrative of some
exceptionally atrocious bit of crime. The
Police of Italian, Swiss, German, Austrian
and Danish cities were active in securing
evidence as to his past life, and the testi-
mony sent in writing fills hundreds of pages.
Hadelt will be guillotined at the end of this
month it is said.
A SUICIDE CLUB.
An 'Uncouth
Fraternity Discovered in e
Windy City.
A Chicago despatch says: Another man,
-who is said to be a member of the suicide
club which is declared to exist in this city,
shot himself in Douglas Park last night,
dying instantly. He was Joseph Kra,ker,
brewery employee. Andrew Rudman is
authority for the assertion that Kraker
- belonged to an organization each member of
which is bound by oath to commit suicide.
Rudman is under arrest. Before being
taken into custody Rudman, who like
Eviler worked in & brewing establishment,
had written a letter announcing e purpose
of perpetrating self.murder. Then Rudman
broke open a room -mate's trunk, abstraeted
$30, bought a revolver, attempted to kill
Miss Eva Diessler, to whom he has been
engaged, and fired a shot at one Meister,
who was the foreman who recently dis-
charged Rudman. The latter fired into a
•group of citizens, and attempted to put a
bullet into a policeman who arrested him.
Rudman's unsteady aim was due to the fact
that he had been drinking heavily. He
will have to postpone further tragic moves
pending his appearance in the Criminal
Court, to which: he was remanded this after-
noon.
A. cmW FOR BREAD.
Newfoundlanders Starving and Dying for
Lack of Food.
A St. John'i (Nfld.) despatch says: In-
formation from the northern coasts depict a
wretched condition of affairs. 0 wing to the
ravages of grip last year the miserable in-
habitants vvere unable to gather their usual
catch of fish. Just before navigation closed
the Government sent the people of Flower's
Cove 60 barrels of flour to save them from
perishing during the winter. For five
months they have been cut of from the out-
side world by ice. Early in February the
people watched with horror the consump-
tion of the last handful of flour. How they
have lived since God alone knows. For two
months the cry of hunger has been heard.
Whole families had not,a crust of bread.
There is not a barrel of flour on the whole
coast between Bonne Bay and St. Anthony.
Borne people have already perished from

affairs existed.

MONEY AND MONIkEY DONE.
An A gel Venezuela Couple Victimized In
Paris.
A Paris cable says: Sala Rubini and his
wife, natives of Venezuela, now travelling
on the continent, reported to the police last
evening the loss of almost 100,000f, and a
pet monkey. Mr. Rubini says that he and
Mrs. Rubini left Paris on the Club train,
intending to cross to England. Before
leaving the station they mimed the basket
containing the monkey, bub decided to leave
without him and telegraph to the police
from London. En route to $t. Denis, Mrs.
Rubini missed her hand satchel, in which
she had jewelry, a letter of credit and bank
notes of a total value of 80,000f. Her
husband alighted at Amiens and took a
train back to Paris, and she, after proceed-
ing to Calais, followed him thither. They
found no trace of the thief or monkey at
the Paris station. On Tuesday Mr. Rubini
was robbed or a purse containing_ 18,0001.
He thinks that the thief, having learned
that he carried much ready money with him,
shadowed him to the Paris station and took
the satchel and basket while they at in the
waiting -room, Mrs. Rubini thinks that the
monkey is following tbe thief. She says
she had left "Joao," as she calls him, out
of his basket for a little air, and when she
put him back did not fasten the cover
securely. She had trained him to attack
anybody touching her belongings, and she
believes he may have jumped out after the
thief when the latter took her satchel,
dragging after him the basket to which he
was chained.
& SUOURING SPECTACLE.'
A Berlin Youth Leaps from a High Build.
• Ing to Death.
A Berlin cable says r., A horrible sight was
witnessed to -day in. tlee Nene Friedrich-
strasse, a young MAT Emmen-Urn' g suicide in
the presence of hundreds of spectators by
jumping from the top of a building. The
unfortunate youth, a clods named Bauer, had
for some tirne pest shown signs of failing
mind. His insanity finally took the
shape of a delusion to the effect that he was
the son of the late King Ludwig of Bavaria,
who committed suicide by jumping into a
lake in the Royal grounds at Munich. To-
day Bauer climbed to the parapet of a house
in the street mentioned and stood there
a long time zinging selections from
Lohengrin and shouting incoherent words
to the people who gathered below.
A physician who lived in the vicinity and a
police officer endeavored to rescue the man
from his perilous position, but he resisted
all their efforts, and they nearly lost their
lives in the attempt to reach him. Finally
they succeeded in getting tipem the roof, and
were about to seize the maniac, when he
rushed to the edge of the parapet,' and
shrieking out "I will die as my father
did," he sprang to the pavement. His body
was smashed into a shapeless mass by
contact with the stones.
THE GERMAN SIMMER'S LIFE.
The Brutality of Officers Driving Privates

A Berlin cable says: • The body of the
Grenadier Hermsdorf, of the let Regiment
of Foot Guards in Potsdam who disap-
peared some time ago, has been found in the
River Navel. At the time of his disappear-
ance August Bebel, Social Democrat, said
that Hermsdorf had been driven to suicide
by abuse from the non-commiesioned officeze
of the regiment. Hermsdorf had told bis
friends that he WaS compelled to do the
work of a scavenger, was kicked or cuffed
almost daily, and had been kept standingon
one leg for an hour frequently while his
corporal was eating dinner. Bebel eatd this
was a typical case of abuse such as thou-
sands of privates suffered in the best PFUS-
ffirma regiments, The commander in Pots-

reverence the feet of the worship^
peva in the quaint little French Church of
St. Jean Baptiste No. 159 East Seventy-
eixth street, tread the aisles this week.
In a gold -lined casket on the altar haa
lain each day siuce lionclay from half -past
six until 10 a. in, the most morel relic to
Catholic eyes of the days when Christ
walked the earth which ever reached
America.
It is a large fragment of the arm of St.
Ann, mother of the blessed Virgin Mary,
mother of Jesus. For many centuries it has
been guarded more jealously than were ever
guarded royal jewels or kingly crowns by
the-Benedictinemonks at Romi
e n the great
Basilica of $t. Paul's outside the walls.
Now, by special request of His Holiness the
Porte, a portion of it is sent to increase the
faith and devotion a all members of the
church in the United States and Canada,
This relic, which will be regarded by
Catholics everywhere with the deepest feel-
ings of piety and joy, is brought to America
through the efforts of the Cardinal -Arch-
bishop of Quebec and the Right Rev. Mgr.
Marquis, Prothonotary Apostolic,' one of
Quebec's most patriotic and distinguished
prelates. It is to be kept at the Church of
Ste. Anne de Beaupre, on the St Lawrence
River.
Mgr. Marquis reached this city on Sun-
day last, bearing the relic. For a short
time he proposed being the guest of the
Rev. Father Tetreau, pastor of the Church
of St. Jean Baptiste'at the pastoral resi-
dence just around the corner from the
church, No. 1,031 Lexington avenue.
Father Tetreau pleaded with Mgr. Mar-
quis to allow him to expose the sacred
object in his little • church during certain
hours of the day as long as he remained
here. He consented, with the permission
of Mgr. Farley, Vicar -General of the dio-
cese, and every morning at half -past 6 the
extraordinary relic is exposed to,view and is
on exhibition until 10 o'clock. . •
It can be seen today, to -morrow and
Saturday betsveen those hours. It can be
seen and touched by all the Catholics of this
city who desire an opportunity to gaze on
what they must all regard as being so very
near the person of the Incarnate God. Also
can it be seen on Monday up to the hour of
noon, and Monday night the distinguished
divine and his companions will resume their
homeward journey to place the fragment of
the arm of St. Ann in the beautiful church
on the Si. Lawrence, which bears her name
and over which she is believed to have
exerted her blessed influence in many re-
markable ways. •
The news that the relic was at the Church
of Se Jean Baptiste has spread all through
than portion of the city in which it is
situated. Thousands have already seen it,
and as each day passes the number who
crowd the little church during the hours
the doors are open constantly increases.
The Church of Sainte Anne de Beaupre
is twenty miles below Quebec. There nearly
three centuries ago it was_established as a
little mariners' chapenamid scenerywonder-
fully grand and impressive, and • it has
slowly risen from its lowly beginnings to be
a spacious and beautiful temple rising from
the beach.
It has seemed that over the church which
bore her name St. Ann has ever hovered
with her beneficient influence. To Catholics
the place, as Mgr. O'Reilly, of this city,
describes it, "it is like a fountain of living
watere, which purify souls, cure bodily ills,
revive and nourish faith in the Incarnate
God and is the solemn protestation of a.
whole people againet anti-Christian unbe-
lief." .
There is already at the shrine of Sainte
Anne de Beaupre a very small fragment of
one of the fingers of St. Ann, but in view of
the fact that so famous had become the
shrine for the afflicted and the faithful
a larger memento was earnestly desired.
More than 100,000 pilgrims resorted to the
church last year. Thousands and thousands
claim to have been instantly cured through
the intercession of her who was, in the flesh,
the grandparent of the Redeemer.
The body of St. Ann was taken from
Jerusalem to Constantinople in the year 710.
The arm bas betn in Rome for many cen-
turies. The Popes have tor ages refused to
have any part of the member mutilated.. In
the "Revelonions " of the great St.
Bridget, who died in 1873, there is a strik-
ing plumage connected with the relic. St.
Bridget made a pilgrimage to Rome and had
the happiness of venerating the arm of St.
Ann. That night St. Ann appeared to her
and assured her that the arm was her own.
The body of the saint must have been
carefully embalmed, as was the Jewish cue -
tom. The arm, through nearly nineteen
hundred years. was in a good state of pre-
servation when Mgr. Marquis beheld it.
The Prior of St. Paul's accompanied, the
Canadian divine to the spot where the relic
is kept. In his attempt to saw off a piece
of the arm the saw was broken. Mgr.
Marquis had a saw also, and he cut off as
largo a piece as he in decency could. It is
one half of the wrist, and to it the flesh and
skin still adhere. .
The fragment is about three inches in
length. Mgr. Marquis had made for in a
little casket of bronze lined with gold,
around which runs a band of satin, studded
with silver stars. Around the relic is a
piece of paper with this lettering : " Ex
Brachio S. Anne, M. B. M. V."—" From
the arm of Si. Anne, Mother of the Blessed
Virghi,"
The casket nes a glass top through which
the relic can be seen, and the seal of the
Abbot of St. Paul's iS Still unbroken.
" At night the relic is kept in, Father
Tetreau's safe. •
Mgr. Marquis, happy in the possession of
his treasure, beamed smilingly on Father
Tetreau as he talked to nae last night.
"There, before you," he said, "lies the
bone of the forearm of her who clasped to
her maternal bosom the Virgin Mary. Can
we doubt that that arm also held the infant

the part of the young men carded them off
to a lonely moot in the woods, gagged them,
and outraged them in a meet brutal man-
ner,. The girls were beaten insensible, and
remained in that state until the morning,
when they were found and brought back to
this city'. The police were notified, but
their efforts to catch the desperadoes were
very much hampered by the young women's
reluctance to let the affair become known.
Two young men, Geo, Lee and Arm-

being concerned in the outrage.
TIIII DANGEROFS REVOLVER.
A London Lad Nearly Meets Ms Death by
, a Bullet.
A London despatch says: The 12 year-
old son of Mr. J. E. Moorehouse, who lives
on the corner of Bruce and Teresa street;
South London, had a narrow escape from
death on Saturday morning. He was en-
gaged in picking watercress along the west
bank of the Thames, a short distance south
of Victoria Bridge, when he ceme across
jar and picked it up. A boy of about 14
years was standing on the opposite bank,
and saw Moorehouse with the jar, and
called over to him to "put it down or I'll
shoot you." Almost immedieteln there;
after the young rascal pulled the trigger of
a email revolver and discharged it, the
bullet striking Moorehouse behind the left
ear. Fortunately the force of the leaden
messenger was about spent when it reenhed
its: victim and, striking a bone, it glanced
upward about two incliee and lodged in the
flesh. Had it struck a quarter o, an inch
lower the effect would have been very
serious, but the lad is now all right again.
Dr. Graham extracted the bullet and dressed
the wound. The culprit who fired the shot
is not known.

A Washington despatch says : Bower
Robinson, a tramp, was taken from an
officer and swung up to the limb of a tree
on the road between Alexandria and
Fairfax county jail by S'masked men on
Wednesday. On Friday last Robinson
assaulted Mrs. Caton and. Mrs. Lackey on
the Little River turnpike. He knocked
both the ladies down and was only pre-
vented from accomplishing his fiendish pur-
pose by their outcries. Ile was kept hang-
ing from the limb till his face 'WEIS black
and his tongue protruded from his mouth.
He was then lowered to the ground, but as
soon as he regained consciousness he was
again swung up and kept up for three
minutes. Before life was extinct, however,
Robinson was let down a second time He
lay on the ground gasping for breath.
"Don't torture me any longer. Take a
pistol and. blow out my brains," he gasped,
as soon a.s he was able to speak. The
a,ppeal touched his persecutors, and, still
suffering from the fearful torture he had
just undergone he was lifted bade into'the
buggy and driven to the jail.
MARRIED TWENTY' WOMEN.
John Anderson, the Man Who Could Not
Resist the Maidens.
A Cleveland despatch says: The main
evidence against John Anderson, the Dane,
who is supposed to have married twenty
women,' was submitted yesterday. Mrs.
Elba Purcell, of St. Louis, his latest bride,
described how Anderson had brought her
to the city, stole a note and cash amount-
ing to $1,200 from an inner pocket of her
under garments, and lied to the east. The
Dane was put on the stand in his own
defence. He proved to be anything but a
simpleton, and, though his story was
interesting and plausible, the prosecution
succeeded in tangling him upon cross--
examination. He admitted his marriage!
to Mrs. Purcell, but refused to answer
questions concerning the Elmira marriage.
He claimed Mrs. Percell had forced him
into marrying her by putting a policeman
on his track after he hadbecome intimate
with her, and that she insisted upon his
taking all her money and keeping it for his
own use. His reason for deserting her,
was that the was old and so affectionate
that he became disgusted and resolved to
take a vacation.

a tear was -visible on her hard cheeks.
"In my opinion, ,gentlemen," said Judge
Fitzgerald, as he thanked and discharged
the jury, "the verdict of guilty is the only
one that could have been found upon the
evidence. Your reconnnendation to mercy
will receive due consideration.'
Judge Fitzgerald granted Mr. Hummel's
motion to remand Mrs. Adams until next
Tuesday. Then she will be sentenced and
her lawyer will move for is new trial.
Judge Fitzgerald will doubtless deny the
motion, and Hattie will be taken to the
Penitentiary, where she will have to work
and wear striped skirts and where the
absence of curling papers vvill rob her yellow
hair of its curls.
After Judge Fitzgerald sorted out a
choice lot df • sentences for half a dozen
minor criminals, the last day of Hattie
Adams' trial began near noon yesterday.
Lawyer William F. Howe, in splendid con-
dition al to diamonds, voice and a new blue
and white craaat, opened for the defence.
He said : '
" Think, think of Parkhurst, the minister
of the Gavel, as an instigator of crime,
roaming about this city, paying with his
own money poor'degraded women to dis-
grace themselves to such an extent that you
must be disgusted when you think of it I
declare to you that by the law of God, by
the moral law, aye ! by the statutes of the
State of New York, Parkhurst, the minister,
is a criminal. I will show"—
" If Your Honor please," protested Assis-
tant District Attorney McIntyre.
"Allow me, sir," roared Mr. Howe, shak-
ing his greet sides in an avalanche of fury.
" Allow me. I'll prove it. I propose to
show by the evidence that Parkhurst is a
criminal and therefore ought not to be be-
lieved."
Judge Fitzgerald dryly suggested that
Hattie Adams was on trial just tow. Hattie
promptly began to weep. Her little green-
ish eyes almost faded out of sight in a flood
of jury dissolving tears. She spoiled their
effect somewhat by calmly fanning herself
meanwhile.
Mt Howe denounced Dr. Parkhurst by
reading these words -from the Penal Code :
"Any person who directly or indirectly
commands, induces or procures another to
commit a crime is a principal therein."
Then he said: "1 do not know that I ever
felt so much my inability to express my
loathing and disgust for any man as I do
for Parkhurst. In the words of M. Thiers,
I cannot elevate him to the level of my
contempt.'" •
During all this vehemence Dr. Parkhurst
did not look happy. He sat half hidden by
the judge's bench, a newspaper partly
screening his dark and impassive face. He
seemed to be paying polite attention to all
the unsolicited tributes Mr. Howe was
heaping upon him. It would be a slight
exaggeration to say that he looked amused.
Assistant District Attorney John F. Mc-
Intyre delivered a stunning oration for the
prosecution. _
" In my honest judgment," he said, "Dr.
Parkhurst was actuated bylaudable, honest
and i
sincere motives. It s the duty of any
citizen to go about and detect crime and
visit these houses if necessary. Do you be-
lieve that Dr. Parkhurst lied? Do you be-
lieve that a minister of the gospel would go
upon the stand and call upon hie God
to witness that—he would tell the truth,
and then deliberately give perjurious testi-
mony ? Do you believe his story? Con-
trast his character with that of Hattie
Adams. Can there be any doubt as to which
you shall believe ?"
Judge Fitzgerald was all unmoved by the
fierce storm of denunciation and counter
denunciation that had been sweeping around
him. The first words of his charge were a
fine bit of satire.
"1 desire, gentlemen, said he," to attract
your attention to the nature of te cage that
has been actually on trial here." Then
without bias or oratorical effort he went
over the indictment, the testimony and the
law in the matter. The jury retired at nine-
teen minutes past 6 o'clock.
