Be CatchM Two Sneak Thieves at Warli and
Hay Oct at Police Sbleld.
Philip J. Lynch, the Janitor ot an apartment
house at 144 Seventh avenue, Brooklyn, yester
day afternoon noticed two young men loitering
In the neighborhood and determined to keep a
close watch on them. Soon he saw one of them
enter the ofllce ot Dr. H. B. Bayllss, at 123
Seventh avenue, while the other remained on
the sldowalk In front. In a few momenta the
former emerged from the doctor's ofllos with
a coat on his back which he had not had on
when he entered, and two other coats in
his arms. He threw one of the coats to
his companion, and then both men
started off down Seventh avenue almost on a
run. The Janitor Jumped on a passing grocer's
wagon and, pointing to the two young men in tho
distance, told the driver to whip up his horse
and overtoko them. Policeman Dennis Slattery
of the Bergen street station Just then loomed up
In a side street and Lynch hailed him and put
him on the track of the supposed thieves, who
seemed to hare realized that they were chased,
for they discarded the ooata and. turning off
Berenth avenue, started up the hill in the direc
tion of the park.
Both fugitives were captured after a lively
chase. One of them, who gave the name of
Qeorge Babcock, showed flgnt and drew a revol
ver, which Policeman Slattery quickly knocked
from his hand with his clnb. The exhibition ot
the revolver was evidently a bluff, tor it was
found to be unloaded. Babcock and his com
panion, who gave the name of Joseph McCoy,
were locked up in the Bergen street station.
The three coats were stolen from the cloaet in
Dr. Bay lias's office by Babcock, who told tho ser
vant that he bod on engagement with the
Doctor.
Babcock la said to be a son of the notorious
Nellie Babcock, whose picture Is in the Rogues'
Gallery, and who at one time disputed with
Ella Larrabee for the distinction of being the
most notorious female robber In Brooklyn. Ce.pt.
Campbell complimented Janitor Lynch on the
excellent detective skill he tad exhibited, and
will recommend him to Commissioner Welles
for a special police shield.

tVlthdraws the Charce an lunch's Sabralt
llaa to ne Dltoreed by Rabbi, So That
she Could Marry at Voraaor Sweetheart.
Tho ICppsx Market Prison was the scene of a
Hebrew tllvoreo preceding, with all the at
tendant ccrouionles, yesterday afternoon, but
the keepers, being Ignorant ot tho Yiddish dia
lect, were passive and Ignorant spectators. The
dlvorco was one of tho features of an eastsltlo
romance not uncommon In that aoctlon. Unless
Magistrate Hodges Is made acquainted with tho
facta to-day, all the parties to the affair will
probably regard It as being happily settled.
Tho woman In the case is Mrs. IdaBloch.28
years old, ot 47 Forsyth street. She was mar
ried to William Bloch, who Is 23 year old, in
Russia about olght years ago. Although the
couple did not live harmoniously, they came to
gether to this country about three years ago and
began housekeeping. They separated in a short
time, and have since lived apart.
Mrs. Bloch, who is attractive in appearance,
called on Hyroan Rosonschein, an Essex street
lawyer, on Thursday and confided to him that
she had an opportunity to marry a former sweet
heart in Russia, who had grown very rich since
her departure. Bho asked for advice as to how
sho could accept the offer. According to the
Hebrew religion it would be necessary to get a
rabbinical dlvorco, and the question of a legal
divorce under the laws of New York formed no
partot tho affair.
Bloch was interviewed on the subject and
asked to consent to n Hebrew divorce. Ho would
not listen to the proposition. He said he loved
his wife and did not want her to marry any one
else. Tho legal machinery of the Essex Markot
Police Court Is of ten used to collect debts, pay
back grudges, and settle all kinds ot business
and love affairs, and it furnished an instrument
in this enso to overcome the difficulties attend
ing Bloch'a reluctance to part with his wife.
Magistrato Hedges, on the application of Mrs,
Bloch, granted a warrant for Illoch's arrest, and
he was arraigned In the Essex Market Court on
Thursday afternoon on a charge of non-support.
Magistrate Hedges held Bloch In WOO bonds to
?ay his wife 92 a week. Bloch could not furnish
he bonds, and was committed to jail for six
months.
Yesterday morning his wife visited blm In tho
Essex Market Prison, and pleaded with him to
consent to the divorce. He was obdurate at
first, but after she promised to withdraw
the proceedings and have him released from
Jail, he consented. Accompanied by Lawyer
Rosenscheln and by the rabbi, whose name could
not bo ascertained, and three witnesses, she vis
ited the, jail yesterday afternoon. Lawyer
Rosenscheln asked to see Bloch, and the latter
waa brought down from his cell. A prated win
dow separates tho offloe from the Jail proper.
Bloch pressed bis face against the bar, whllo
the others stood around the window in tho
office. The keepers, supposing that an ordinary
consultation was golna; on. paid no attention to
what went on.
The rabbi produced a Hehrow Bible and re
cited several passages from it. He then read a
number of questions to Blooh In Hebrew.
" Do you give up all rights, title, and claim to
this woman f ' asked the rabbi.
" Yos," replied Bloch.
" Do you renounoe her as your legal wife f
" I do."
" Do you consent willingly to free her to marry
another man I"
"I do."
"Then I proncmnoe yen divorced and you are
free to go your separate ways," pronounced the
rabbi.
The paper containing the questions was signed
by Bloch, and the three witnesses affixed their
names to it. Bloch. with tears running down
his face, then kiaednls wife through the bars.
In the exuberance of her Joy she extended her
arms through the opening and wound them
around his neck.
" Now, Willie." sho said," I will get you out
of Jail."
Law) er Rosenscheln then escorted the woman
Into the courtroom and brought her beforo
Magistrate Hedges.
No one told the Magistrate about the divorce
in the jail, but the woman said to blm in He
brew, which was translated by the interpreter:
"I want to withdraw my claim against my
husband. I now bellevo he is willing to support
me, and I am willing to live with him."
It Is customary In cases ot this kind to release
a man on the application ot his wife if she signs
a paper acknowledging satisfaction. This Mrs.
Bloch was willing to do. but, owing to the late
ness of the bour.Magistrate Hedges told her to
come to the court to-day, when he would proba
bly grant her request.
"As soon a he is released," she said to her
lawyer, "I will get ready to go to Russia."

U (Care luehes r Water Thaat as the Lowest
Sfarlc Last Baoiaarr.
CnrcuGo. June 18. Tho heavy spring rainfall
has already had an appreciable effect upon the
level of Lake Michigan. The marks at the tug
offices show that the water early this morning
had reached the highest point in several years,
being fully six Inches higher than the low-water
mark of last summer. The variations, however,
in the level of the lake by reason of winds are
so great that tugmen, who pay tho closest atten
tion to this very important item In their busi
ness, are not certain as to the probable average
Increase.
" As nearly as I can estimate," Superintendent
Sinclair ot the Dunham lino said to-day, "tho
average increase In the depth of water is bu
tween four and five Inches since January. Borne
of this is probably due to the fact that we have
had ao much north wind during most ot the
soring. I do not know bow the impression not
abroad that the lake level had risen alx feet,
which has been reported. Any such rise would
flood the docks and ruin th sewerago system."

from Europo Mr. Crokor will go to lUdiDcld

"If no olhor in-iu In tho Democratlo Btato
Committee doos It, I will nominate for Chief
Judgoot tho Court of Appeals Charles E. Pat
terson ot Troy."
"What was Mr, Patterson's record on tho
monoy question I"
"I think that Mr. Patterson," replied Mr.
Molloy, " was quiescent. He is an nblo lawyer
and a clover gonUeman, and he would do honor
to tho placo."
"I'm tor Alton B. Parkor," said Col. John F.
Gaynor, Treasurer ot the Democratic Stato Com
mittee who was with Mr. Molloy at tho time.
Justice Parker of the Supreme Court Bench Is
a personal friend of ex-Senator David B. II11L
Mr. Hill, it was said, would llko to nominato
Justice Parkor for Chief Judgo, but doos
not believe thnt the Democrats can win
in New York State this toll, and
would not like to seo his friend Parker

It was added, would like to bring about a com
promise on the Judicial nomination this year, so
that Judge John Clinton Gray could be nomi
nated by both Btato Committees. Judge Gray
has suddenly departed for Europe and nothing
can be settled In the matter until Judge Gray's
roturn. Sonator Murphy Is sold to be opposed
to any coalition with the Republicans on this
.nomination, and it has been printed in True Bun
thnt a majority of the Democratlo State Com
mittee believe In nominating an out-and-out froo
sllver Bryan man as tho successor of Chief Judgo
Andrews ot tbe Court of Appeals, Mr. Hill will
endeavor to bring about a compromise, and
some of his friends thought yosterday that bo
would be successful. Mr. Hill had a long talk
with Chairman Elliot Danforth ot tho Demo
cratic Stato Committee.
Mr. Hill met a number of friends at the Hotol
Kormandle yesterday. He lsgreatly Interested
in the fight for a Mayor of Greater Now York.
Mr. Hill is a veteran in politics, and tho friends
who talked with him said that he ad
mired President MoKlnley' course in tryingr
to "keep tho Republican party together.
It was so different from President Cleveland's
conduct. Mr. Hill believes that Mr. MoKlnley
will be successful in his mission, not only to
keep tbe leaders of the Republican party to

Mr. Hlll.it was. added, paid this tributo to a

QUAY SUGGESTS A TLAIT.
Appropriations to Bo Pared Down and Ponn
oylvaaba IjesTtslatare to Adjourn.
nAiuusnuno, Pa June 18. Many Senators
and members of tho House aro remaining at the
Capitol over to-day to assist In opening up a
programme for smoothing out tbe kink In the
adjournment programme. They now seem to
have a definite programmo In view. Tho things
practically decided upon are these: To adjourn
on July 1 If posslblo; to drop the new Direct In
heritance Tax bill, and to pare down appropria
tions instead of increasing taxation In any one
place.
Tho formulation of a programme was begun
yesterday during Senator Pcnroso's visit and on
llncaof advice given by Senator Quay, who be
lieves that lack of hcadwork is lnri, iy responsi
ble for tho present muss. As part of tho prob
lem ot ndjourning on July 1, tho appropriation
bills will begin to coma out of committee on
Monday nhtht. No effort will be msdo to ex
tend tho session until Junt before noon of July 1,
when. If the work cannot be completed, a resolu
tion extending tbo term a few days will bo pre
sented. State Chairman Elkln Is rcFDonslble for the
statement that tbo now Direct Inheritanco Tax
bill ". 111 bo dropped. He said to-day:
" It will not bo necessary If tho appropriation
bills are pared down to meet tho situation. I
am satisfied thnt tho original direct Inhoritam e
act is constitutional and thnt tho Supreme
Court will so deddo when tho case is fully
ariruod. That law and the small revenue meas
ures now uasslng tbo Senate will supply addi
tional revenues enough to help tide oer the
present dliilrulty, without creating a burden
somo tax upon any single InU-reu I am satis
HihI also that tho situation will clarify
within tho next ten days and that tbo Legisla
ture can adjourn on tlmo or within a day or two
of tho tlmo ilxed."
The Beer lax bills will dlo therefore.
