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 gitarvation, and, at the date of the last ad- vices, March 26th, a terrible condition of affairs existed. THE COMPARTMENT CAla.

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 to Suicide. 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- dam contended that Ifferinielorf ban deserted. The finding of the body and the accom- panying proof of suicide will be made the basis of a motion in the next reesion of the Reichstag for the investigation of the maltreatment of soldiers in Ruminant regi. ments.

' A New Yerk despatch of het Tuesday ntght saya With more than wonted 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 Jesus 1 am proud, ti have Such a relio to show to my people. And / am glad to know that now on its way across the sea is another similar fragment of the arm of the blessed $t. Aim which has been given to our little Church o'f St, jean Baptiste."

AFFAIU, Shucking Outrage qf Two Vomit/ Ladles by lave lattillaus. A London despatch says: Further pus ticulare ot the recent herrible affair et Dreaney's Corners show that two respect- able young women of this city were driven out to Dreaneyn Corners, on Sunday evens Som by a young man to whom one of them e engaged. At about 10 o'clock the yourig people were preparieg to return home, end the two young gide stood ia front of Younn's hotel speaking te a lady friend while their escort was getting his buggy out of the shed Demme the street. Suddenly a gang of five ruffians seized the young women, and in spite of their strueglemand a fighting effort op 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- strong, have been arrested on suspicion of 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 — — Tramp Captured by a Virginia Crowds an Tortured. 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. Condensation of a Three-Voinme Novel.

HATTIE 'ADAMS CUILTY. Rev, Dr, Parkhurst Vilna Rie in Oourt, Oase THE SENTENCE , AWAITING HER. A New York despatch of last youdty night, says ; Hattie Adam is con - meted. After two' hours' deliberation the jury in the Court of General Sessiona found then sb,e was guilty of keeping is die- oiderly house. The punishment premriben i by law s one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary or $500 fine, or both. Thet is the maximum penalty. Hattie may be fined and not imprisoned for the full terna. But if Judge Fitzgerald's utterances during the trial are to serve as indications Hattie may en well prepare herself for the full penalty. Mine. Hattie had no appetite for dinner. She sat Alone in the prisonere' pen at half - past six o'clock. The jury had jut retired. In spite of her gaily flowered hat and her red, shiny, apple -like cheeks and the purple and green and violet beads on her cream colored wrap, she was a very dejected look- ing -woman. Hattie heard the soraphig and shuffling ot scores of teet at a quarter past 8 onlock. The door of the pen —was unlocked and Hattie advanced to the bar, Abe Hummel sat at her right hand. Judge Fitzgerald hurried to his seat upon the bench. nle clerk, with his emotionless voice, swiftly called the roll of the jury, and the twelve men answered "Here 1" like so many schoolboys. Had they agreed upon a ver- dict? They had, answered Foreman Albert A. Steininger. "We find'the defendant guilty, with a recommendation to mercy." • Hattie's hard face did not exhibit any change. In fact, she looked at Abe Hum- mel with that I-told.you-so expression that is a balm even to a convicted woman. Not 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. ".4.
