Meyer was stolid tie usual throughout the pro- osediega in the Court oaf General Sessions. He does not appear to be alarmed by the charge that he poisoned Baum while pretending to join him in a plan 'to rob life insurance companies. Meyer agent a fairly comfortable night in lie small but cool Dell at police headquar- ters. He ate a good supper and slept pretty well. He was not toe troubled to do justice to a substantial breakfast yesterday morn - Mg. Then he was led upetaire to Impeotor McLaughlin's office, in the detective depart. meat. r MEYER'S REGISTRATION. The Inspector took the man's hill " made gree," which is as follows Carl Schaffer, alias Dr. Meyer.—Crime, homi- cide ; residence, Detroit, Michigan ; age, 35 years ; color, white ; nativity, German ; occu- pation, delicatessen dealer ; read and write ?— yea;married or unmarried 4—refused to tell ; lruf d, slim ; height, 5 feet 8} inches : weight, M0 pounds ; hair, blonde; eyes, light blue ; nnmploxion, fair.

R.HENRYMEYF has found lodgingt in the Tombs a last He wee taken ther yesterday morning after having refuse to plead to the in diotment ?cousinh him jointly with Maria Meyer, his ENQUIRES FOR HIS WIFE AND CHILD. He was anxious about his wife. He did not refer to her, however, as his wife. He •would not tell me whether she was married to him or not. He kept asking, ' Have you keard anything from the misses ?' " He was also very anxious about his boy. The child is a year and a half old and Meyer said that at the time of his arrest be was feeding the child with some specialIy prepared food because it was suffering from -stomach trouble. He feared the boy would not be properly attended to in his absence. He insisted that Carl Schaffer was his real name." After this interview Detective Sergeants lFraiuea, Von Gerichten and Reilly took Meyer out to be photographed for the rogue's gallery. On the way he met Lawyer Joseph Mose, and, after a few minutes' conversation with lihn, retained Howe & Hummel as his counsel. When it came bo BEING PHOTOGRAPHED the little prisoner demurred. His clothes were brushed, his hair was newly plastered back after his morning toilet and bis tie was neatly arranged, bub he frowned and hung his head and drooped his eyelids when lee found himself before the camera. " Come, you may as well de it," said Detective Von Gerichten in German. Then Meyer Iooked up and the photographer made his portrait, fail face and in profile. After this ordeal the quartette set out for the General Sessions. Meyer was not handcuffed this time, but a detective tat on each side of him in a Fourth avenue car. -On the way to the car he smoked a cigar. There was a long wait in the court building, during which Meyer emoked another cigar, but kept silent. Judge Cowing asoended the bench shortly alter 11 o'clock, and District Attorney Nicoll and Messrs. McIntyre, Lindsay and Battelle appeared before him. The detec- tives brought Meyer BEFORE THE BAR. Two hundred spectators gazed at the shabby ,little man es he atoed there fingering his Aust -stained, yellow straw hat and tightly holding his half -smoked cigar. Most of the time he gazed at the floor, but occasionally hie faded blue eyes darted a sweeping glance around the room and were again averted. Clerk Hail arose and said : " Henry Meyer, otherwise called William Renter, otherwise Hugo Wayler, otherwise Henry Myers. you are indicted for the crime of murder in the first degree "-- " If Your Honor please," Mr. Moes inter- rupted, " may this ease be referred until Thursday morning ? Mr. Howe is engaged elsewhere and we have just been retained." " Don't yon want to plead nob guilty now, with the privilege of withdrawing it on Ilhursday ?" asked Judge Cowing. " No ; we'd rather not plead now," re- plied Mr. Moss. " Very well," said the Judge. " Let the matter go until Thursday, and in the mean. time the prisoner stands committed." SAYS HE I9 INNOCENT. Mr. Moss plucked Meyer's sleeve and started back toward the "prisoners' pen." Deputy Sheriffs O'Donnell and Burke walked, one in front, the other behind Meyer, as the little man followed his lawyer. He had not spoken a word. Presently he was led downstairs, his commitment to the City Prison duly made out and the prisoner passed from the keeping of the city police he that of the Sheriff. Handcuffed between O'Donnell and Burke he aeon walked to the Tombe. No one in the street knew his identity. Mr. Mose .coon followed his new client and within a few minutes saw him in the counsel room in the Tombs. " Meyer's first question," said Mr. Moss to me later, " was, ' When will my naso be tried?' I told him not until autunite " There's no doubt,' said Meyer, ' bhab the insurance companies will spend a lot of money to convict me. But I am innocent,"" New Youn, July 20.—A special from Denver says : Dr. Meyer was arrested here and turned over to the Chicago police on May 9th, 1890. He was then known as C. Dressel, and was aroused of the murder of C. C. Dressel, by which he collected $5,000 .from the Germania Life Insurance Company. Meyer at that time lived' with two women, ,ene of whom was known as his wife and the tither as hie daughter. Lawyer Joseph F. Mose, of Howe & Hum- mel's office, called upon Meyer in the morn- Ing, but the prisoner refused to see him. Dr. W. J. O'Sullivan, representing Mr, Brooke, had had an hour's conversation with Meyer on Tuesday evening, but no definite engagement had been made between them. Mr.Moss' told me on (Tuesday Mr. Howe Would call on Meyer yesterday morning, " bid on call on Meyer 1" I asked Mr. Howe at noon. " No, sir, he replied, H emphatioaily no. We Were tomorning of $'500 this ---as That e a retainer An1y mo n y is not here, Then, too, 1 have learned that the cele. braced Dr. O'Sullivan went to see Meyer last night. I am too old, I have bed too much experience ever to wish to volunteer In a case. I did aeb in the Carlyle W. Hartle oase on the importunity of poor Mrs. Harris, who wee ponnileea. I told her at the time that was the last time I would take part in a homicide case unless I were well paid for it. LAWYER IIOWE WITrII)I:AWS.. Five thousand dollars is the smai1eat fee I would take in:tl:in ease, and as, frem all I can learn, there isn't a probability of Me ors raisin vel the sand cants I k u J' x g shall start for Saratoga en Friday to remain until September 10th. " I don't wish to critioiso Dr. O'Sullivan, but since he has said Howe & Hummel re- sorted to sharp praotioe I reiterate that 1 have no desire to take the Meyer case, or any other 088e, unless there is plenty of money in it. I shall nob appear in the Meyer case and I shall leave the glory to O'Sullivan and antimony." When I asked Dr. O'Sullivan whether he oared to say anything in reply to the above he answered : "•I have no comment to make on it. I think it is very like Mr. Howe," MEYER I9 NOT SICK. It was rumored yesterday that Dr. Meyer was sick in his cell. Warden Fallon told me the rumor was untrue. No physioiau, he said, had called on Meyer. The man's beard had been shaved off ana his lone blond, curly hair had been out close. I called on bim. At first Meyer told the guard on the second tier he was too sick to see anybody. As I turned to leave my guide said, '" Wait ; here he comet." Within a few seconds nimble footsteps sounded on the stone etaire. Meyer soon appeared, He look ed much better than at any time since he arrived in thin city. He recognized my companion, whose business was the same as my own. He scrutinized us for three seconds. Before a word could be spoken he turned toward the keeper: " le that all?" he asked, nodding toward ue. The keeper nodded " Yee." Like a flash Meyer turned on his heel and bounded up the stairway He was out of eight in an instant. This is the way he has received all visitors not his counsel. 1 asked Mr, Bourke and Dr. O'Sullivan late in the afternoon whether they would defend Meyer. " I cannot tell you definitely for several days," replied Mr. Bourke. " We have been asked to defend him, but it will cost a great deal to make a proper defence." So for the prevent Meyer is without coun- sel. WAS THIS THE PRISONER ? Julius Dahimann, who keeps a variety store at No. 16 Whitehall street, told me yesterday he had seen Dr, Henry Meyer's portrait in the newspapers. " It looker very like a portrait of a Dr. Meyer who came to Denver when I lived there in 1887," said Mr, Dahlmann. " He came from Chicago and an- nounced that he was about to become a partner of a druggist named Klotz, whom he had known in that city. The woman who called herself Mrs. Klotz used to be an actress. She knew Dr. Meyer, too, in Chi- eago. Within a short time of Dr. Meyer'e arrival in Denver Klotz became very ill. He had been big and strong. Dr. Meyer operated on him, but Dr Friedrich said the operation was unnecessary and ordered Klotz to try a change of climate. " He accompanied me to Southern Cali- fornia and in three weeks he had entirely recovered Ms health and .strength. Then he returned to Deaver and within a very short time I heard of his death. His al- leged wife gob $1,000 insurance. Dr. Meyer —I do not say he is now in the Tombs, as I have not seen the prinoner—left Denver suddenly some time before Klotz's return frem California. • District Attornay Nicol] would neither affirm nor deny that these persons were to become State witnesses, but he admitted that Wimmers was implicated with the man now amused of wholesale poisoning, it being declared that Wimmers handled the medi- cine given to Baum. Dr. Henry Meyer was handcuffed to a burglar named Kayser yesterday morning and marched to the General Smote= build- ing in charge of Deputy Sterids Burke and O'Donnell. Charles W. Brooke made an arrangement with the Dlatricb Attorney's office on Wednesday by which Meyer's ar- raignment was be be DEFERRED UNTIL NEST TUESDAY. Assietan.t District Attorney John F. Mc- Intyre, who was before JudgeCewing, knew nothing of this and sent for Meyer. Meyer heard his name called sbertly after he reached court and a bsifff told him to go to the bar, "Send that man banns. I want Meyer," said Mn Molntyre. il'he prisoner returned to the "pen," but again came out when his minis was called. Mr. McIntyre was about to order him back again, when he saw that the Haan was really Meyer, but so changed by the obeying of his blonde heard and the shearing of his long, flaxen locks that it *,earned a geed look to fully Identify h•tn. No lawyer ap- peared for Meyer, and i11-. ldolntyre aaked him : " Where are Howe & T1umtn,rl ?" " I don't b, ow an3•t,t,,x.,a about Fleece & Hummel," Mr. Mclntyre segs Moyer re- plied. " I never retained chem." Thereupon the man was again sent back to the " pen," In the face of Meyer'? remark it is inter- esting to know that .7axepb F. Woes, of Howe & Hummel's elks.., had a written retainer from Meyer when he appeared for him. " I didn't ask him ebotat that," said Mr. McIntyre to me later, " 1 suppose he must have forgotten about It." MEYER' LAWYER APPEARS. Word was tolephened to Ceerles W. Brooke, at No. 111 Broadway, that Dr. Meyer was to be arraigned. Be battened to the court and the pre over was again called to the bar to plead to tbe indictment of murder. " My counsel is not here,' said Meyer to Aesistanb District Attorney McIntyre. " Oh, yes, be is," replied Mr. Molntyre, i" Here is Mr. Brooke." "I don't know Mr. Brooke," said Moyer. " I never heard of him, My counsel in Dr. O'Sullivan." Then it was explained that the Doctor is Mn Brooke's partner and Meyer was con- tent. Mr. Brooke said —"' The defendant pleads not guilty, with leave to withdraw the plea. 1 do not desire to go upon record as hie at- torney or counsel." Meyer was hendouffed to Deputy Sheriff Burke, who walked book to the f1 ombe with him. Mr, Brooke told me in the afternoon that he could not decide for lowered days whether or not he will appear for Meyer at the trial. The difficulty lay ib the lack of means to retain export witnebies for the de. fence, WIM1SSRS APPEARS. Four persona entered the Diettiot At- torney's outer oltioe ehortiy after Meyer had returned to the Tombs. They were Mr. and Mre, Wimmers, in cherge.of Detective H. G. J•itlitn and' Denis] G, Gillette. Super. intendenb of the Medical Reverien Depute Mout of the Mutual Lifer Insurance Com. patty. It was their work for the last year that resulted In the meet of Dr. Meyer and hie wife and their indictment for murder, Mr. Gillette had a long consultation With Coroner Louie W. Schultze, the result of whioh neither would tell, and the. Coroner went away. Then Metiers. Gillette and Julien entered Mr. Niooll'e private office. There was a rumor about the building that the life insurance repreoentativee had obtained in Detroit a letter Meyer had written to hie wife, in which he told her to hilla elf and he would find mto h rsons e take his own life bore. I asked District Attorney Nicoll to show rpe the letter, which it waa said ho bad. He would neither affirm uor deny its esisb. 0000. " It there Wae ene," he said, " I would nob give it up to any one." STRONG EN0UGH FOR TRIAL. " I have not formed any opinion," said Mr. Nicoll, " as to whether the oaa0 againet Meyer la strong er weak, It cer- tainly le strong enough to put the man on trial. ' "Where did Gillette and Julian gee Wimme.re and his wife ?" I asked. "In Chicago," was the reply. "They telephoned me from Chicago yesterday, and I telephoned them to bring the man and woman right on or arrest them. Wimmers and his Info came voluntarily, however." " Will Wimmers turn State's evidence Y" "I can't tell yet. 1t in too early in the oase to say exaotly what we will do. I can't say whether or not Wimmers will be indicted. He may not have been in com- plicity to murder Baum, although he may have been in complicity as to fraud." " I spoke to Mr. Gillette about the prieoaer's claim that his name is Sheeler." " 1 could pick out the man among a thousand," said Mr. Gillette. " There is no doubt he is Meyer." Meyer's wife la to be brought to this city on Monday. Wimmers waa sent to the House of De- tention after the consultation in the District .Attorney's office, and his wife was allowed to go to her frienda en promising that she would appear as a witness at the trial. BIS IRON JAW Is `shat Saved ,Cartier From having to Fight. " Big Jim" Cartter, the famous Nevada fighter, died the other day. Mark (twain, in " Roughing It," telae a story of his prowess. Twain's account well illustrates' the quietebut deep determination of the man, says the San Francisco Recorder. One evening Cartter entered a restaurant and unintentionally eat down on the hat of a tall and athletic hot -hooded young gen- tleman, who was with two or three other equally high-spirited companion?. When Cartter realized what he had done he apologized, straightened the bat out to the beat of his ability, and gave his acture ante, on his honor as a gentleman, that it waa nob an intentional affront, and, in a few modest words, endeavored to appease the wrath of the young man, who was, in fact, a worthy citizen, though a trifle inex- perienced. elle man with the broken hat insisted that it was an outrage that could not be forgiven, and, taking off hie coat, challenged the stranger to combat. " If we must fight, we must, I suppose," said Cartter, slowly, as if undecided what to do. " I don't like the idea, though, for I don't believe the whole lot of you would have any chance with me. Let me show yen something." Quietly sitting down at the big table, he took hold of it with his teeth, and bracing bis knees against the lower part of the table, raised it and We contents, a big din- ner forionr, roast and all, and with his heree load stood erect. When be pub the table to the floor, with- out spilling a drop from the well filled glance, there was an oppressive silence, which he broke by saying : " I have already apologized. My name is Cartter. Let's all take a drink," Nobody refused. A Ideal Dude. Once in a while, but only once in a while, a regular comic•paper dude is seen, and there was one ouch at a public entertain- ment a few nights ago. He had a lemon colored overcoat six sizes too large for him that spread ab the bottom as if stiffened with crinoline ; his collar shone like bur- nished tin, and was encircled with an up- roarious tie ; his gloves were brown ; his suit was pearl -colored ; hie cuff buttons were like butter plates ; his hair was parted in the middle, yet also banged ever a nar- row forehead ; his cane was like unto a weaver's beam, and bad a born handle which he really and truly did euok, with an air of fatigue and sadnesa, for minutes ab a time ; a huge flower was in his buttonhole, and his parents, in whoee charge he was, were proud of him. The show on the stage suffered for some time after he arrived.— New York Sun. I00,000,000 Pounds a wear.

The rattlesnake writhed in her grasp and then suddenly became quiet au she fixed her eyes upon ate small, beady orbs. Si.ddealy Dot seemed to relax her gaze and at that instant the snake eprung his rattle and, rearing hie head, struck his fangs into her neck just bank of the left ear.

The Count spends a good portion of the winter, says the Parisi Journal, since the death of hie father-in-Iaw, the Duo de Montpeneier, ab Villamanrique, about 28 miles from Seville, in the midst of the melancholy and denuded plains of Anda- lusia. Villamanrique is an immense estate, valued at $1,000,000 ; the Comte de Paris bas enlarged it recently through the purchase of vash forests, estimated at $600,000, which make the finest hunting ground in Europe. The residence, however, is shabby, and cannot be called a °bateau. The Comte has stables and carriage- housee, but no carriage nor horses. He hires all these at a bargain from a Seville livery stable. For some years the horses were fed at his expenee, but they were re- turned to the livery stable man in such bad,condibien;that thiscontraotor contracted this year the right of himself taking care of the horses. The Comte de Paris has only one amuse- ment ab Villanuanrique—that of hunting. He also is a geed agriculturist, and he busies himself improving iris lands and watching his peasants at week in the fields. On these 000aslone he is dressed " a la Fran - 'raise," bub be wears a bread -brimmed felt hat, which answers as well for an umbrella as a parasol. Comtesee is also fond of that headgear.

DDIE EVANS, don of Chief Evans, leader of a gypsy band now oamp- 'ing flatmate place, was sweated at an early hour this morning charged with abduc- tion. "Eddie" is tho young fellow who, aboutsix weeks ago, eloped with hie pretty sister-in-law, the daughter of Chief Lovell, of a gypsy tribe now Damping near Elizabeth, N. 3. The pair went to Canada and would have remained there were it not for the fact that a few days ago Evans' father telegraphed him that Lovell was sat- isfied to take hie daughter back, and that if he would return Qs ALL WOULD BE FORGIVEN. Young Evans, thinking all was "straight," arrived here with his sister -in• law yesterday afternoon. A big reception was given them in the camp and all went well until an early hour this morning, when the camp was taken by storm by a dozen policemen, who surrounded it and captured the girl and her young abductor, not, hew- ever,before the entire camp was aroused and showed fight. Chief Lovell bad deceived "Eddie's" father in order to lure the couple bank and had then betrayed them to the police. The prieoners were at onoe taken to Newark, N. J., where " Eddie " was placed in a prisoner's cell and the girl MARIE WAS LOCKED V1' as a witness. Lovell then relented and said he desired to forgive Evans, but was told that as he had made the complaint the State would merely go on with the prosecu- tion. Accordingly ='Eddie" was arraigned last night before Judge Baleen' in the First Criminal Court, Newark, and was held for trial. In order to induce the pair to return to the United States Chief Lovell, acting under police instraotions, went to the Evans camp and made the tribe believe that if "Eddie" and Marie came back they would be for. given. Then "Eddie's" father sent bim money to return. He left Brantford laab Friday and reached the Damp on Monday. Superintendent Brown, of the Newark police, told me this. STORY OF THE CAPTURE. " It was arranged bbat on Monday we should visit the camp in the guise of eight - mere shortly after Chief Lovell went there in order that be could bo talking to Evans when we arrived. When Lovell gob there the gypsies feared some treachery and searched bim to see thathe had no weapons with which he might injure "Eddie." In spite of this precaution " Eddie" was afraid and left the camp before we got there. Chief Lovell remained in the camp and kept watch al] night, and we went to a hotel. At 3 o'clock this morn- ing Chief Lovell mw some one enter the Damp atealthily and crawl noiselessly into a waggon. Just as stealtbily the chief left the camp, and in bis bare feet ran to the Asbury Park Police station, where, in ac- cordance with our instructions, several men were sent back to camp with him. The capture was easily made.;, MARIE SEVERELY FLOGGED. "Eddie" wedded Jeannie, the eldeeb daughter of Chief Chisodine Lovell, three years ago. They have two children, and for nearly a year he has been paying much attention to Marie, Ma wife's youngest sister. She was the pet of the camp, and although only fifteen years old last January, is tall and mature for her years. "Eddie's" wife watched them with jealous eyes, and last May told her father her suspicions. Chief Lovell, taking Marie into the thichesb part of the woods some distance from the camp, commanded ber to lay bare her back and then whipped her severely with a heavy lash. The girl, however, protested her innocence. Evans made an affidavit that his relations with Marie were perfectly hon- orable, and ten days afterward the couple' eloped. ANOTHER' GIRL NEEDS FLOGGING. Many curious lettere have been received by Chief Lovell since the elopement. Here is one of them: WEST SUPERIOR, Wis., July 3, 1893.

ALL EYES ARE ON SIAL The Autocrat of the Land of the, White Elephant, THE DARK-13:KINNED CZAR. Sines Siam is to the fote as an inter- national bone of contention, the following article from the San Francisco Chronicle' 'will e xntereabixx 1; o to meet readers genet.. ally : The King of rf Siam, says the phronicle, is a monarch who has sero, absolute power over his subjects than the Czar. Few men in this world have es much. to make them feel big and important, but, for one in his position he is a very much civilized fin de siecle young person. He is small in person. Hiq head is crowned with a golden pyramid of jewels, rising in circular tiere, diminishing as they go upward, untilm they end in a long, pencil -like point, whioh extends nearly two feet above the forehead of its kingly owner. His body is diad in a gorgeous coat and vest, heavily embroi dered in gold and jewels, and in place of` pantaloons he has the rich brocaded among, of the Siamese about his loins and waist. Ib cornea dawn below his knees at the front, and it Moira not unlike a pair of fanoy knickerbockers. Below these aro is pair of- ebapely calves,in white silk stcchinge, and hie, feet are thrust in jewel -covered, heelless• slippers, pointed like the shoe of the Turk. The whole makes a costume brilliant and. grand. He is a pleasant•lookieg fellow, and his olive -brown face . ie plump and un- wrinkled. He has beautiful liquid black eyes, a broad, high, end rather full fors - head, and ahort, straight black hair. Under his rather ehort and half -flat nose• there is a silky black mustache, and below this the Ups are rather thick, and the chin ' plump and well rounded. His hands and feet are well made, and he is, all told, to, good specimen of Siamese beauty. He is the ninth eon of Mahe Mongkut, the last King of Siam, and he was pinked Gut of err family of 84 children to be planed upon the throne. He bas 34 half brothers and 49 half sisters. ABSOLUTE MASTER OP MANY MILLIONS. Looking at him it is hard to imagine that he is the sacred ruler of frem 6,000,000 to 10,000,000 of people, and it is hard for an American to appreciate his absolute power and his holy dignity. The people of the country are his slaves. He has the right to. call them into service either with or with- out pay, and all men in Siam are forced to give him either the whole or a part of their eervices during the year. His word can. throw a man into chains or rut him to death ; can deprive him ef his property or rob him of his daughter. All the women of Siam are supposed to belong to the King, and no one is forbidden to him except hie mother. He is supposed to take one of his sisters as his Queen, and the nobles of the country offer him their daughters by the score. His court is one of intrigue, and all the nobles are glad to have their daughters in the harem so that they may thus better attain the King's friendehip and powerful offices. He taxes the people as he pleases, and theee taxes are so heavy that at times some men have to sell their wives and children as slaves to enable them to pay him. Still, his vaults are full of treasure. Siam has no national debt, and he has an income of more than $10,000,000 a year. He can spend tens of thoueantilief dollars in cremating a dead wife or iteeet 'b- liehing a petty navy. HE HAS ABOLISHED HEAD-BIIMPING. Still, bbis King of Siam is the most pro- greesfve the country has ever had. He ie' far in advance of his people, and he is doing a geed deal to civilize them. Before his second coronation in 1873, all natives who approached the King had to do so on all fours. They had to raise their hands in adoration to him and bump their heads on the mate before him. The King did away with all that, and he has introduced tbe • American handshake into his reception to for- eigners, and he apeake the English tongue, though he never does this when noted foreigners have an audience with him. He has brought the telegraph and the telephone into Bangkok, bas eetabllshed a street car lino sad lights hie harem with electric - lights. THE KING IS A.BUDDHIST. The King of Siam is a Buddhist, and he was for some time a Buddhist priest, as is tbe custom with all men in Siam. Every- one is expected at some time to enter the priesthood, and this royal monarch, with • hie millions of treasure, his scores of wives, and his $10,000,000 a year, once shaved his bead and neminaliy gave tip the Drown and his harem to near a yellow, cotton scarf about his waist and to go fasting and praying. THE SIAMESE QUEEN. The King of Siam has a very large assort - went of wives, but he is so high and mighty that he must marry nobody beneath bim kit rank, his only equals befog his own family. His regular official Queen must, therefore, always be hie half sister. The Queen is not far from 20 years of age ; she rules the harem. and she is a very pretty Siamese girl. Her complexion is a light brown, and her oily blank Bair, about two inches long, stands straight up and is combed backward from a fair, open fore- head. She has beautiful eyes, wears diamond earrings and has a diamond pendant at her neck, and her fingers are , covered with precious stones. She smokes I cigarettes, as does also the King, and she chews the betel nut, making her teeth as black as jet and her lips stick out. The Siamese say that any dog can have white teeth, but that it is only those who are rich enough to afford the betel nut who can have black ones, To Mend Broken Cast Iron.
