is tested among a pile ol rocks in tho prettiest and
most childlike of attitudes, looking off in tho Uistanco
tor tbo expected companion. Sho it dressed in
white, nud wcart a yellow straw hat, trimmed
with wild bowers, and holds In her littlo
hands an old dull, whose rod dress partly
toru from tho waist shows that, in spilo ol Us want o(
beauty, it is a favorite companion of her ratubloa. Tho
season represented is early tall, aud tho little girl's
neck and arms are covered by the dress, hut in tho
laco tho artist has shown uucomruou skill in tteeh
painting. Tho shadow thrown by tho broad brimmed
hat covers tho upper part of the lace, aud
below this the light Is allowed to tall in
its lull strength. Here Is seen the tender color
ol childhood, tho del.cute Hush on the check and
the exquisite pearly Huts, whore the hall tones blend
into tho shudows, and all are rendered with a
Urm touch, which represents well the texture ot flesh,
lu modelling this the artist has successfully ovurcomo ;

and which would, it not itiuuugud skilfully, weaken the

A piece ol creamy white old lace envelopes tho

thigh Is symmetrical and natural, hot in the counterfeit

on Monday, and it Is aulictpated that each will
claim a separate hearing, as did their companion in

or two of the cases may bo disposod of during
tho two weeks of tho session, but that will
depend very much upon tho trouble which may bo
met with In empanelling the necessary jurors to try
the Important cases. Kerrigan, who has made an important
coulession in relation to liis own complicity
and that of the other perpetrators of the murder, w ill
not probably be placed at tho bur this term, as he will
bo needed as a witness iu the murder cases to bu dcturmmed

During his incarceration and trial Doyle hue ex- !
hlblted a reinarkuble degree o saiyj/'rvid. At his ecu

by the Court if he had anything to any why judgment
should not he pronounced, said:?"1 don't care what

Yesterday bis manhood completely gave way. He presented
a most pitiable spectacle, ami when the Sherltf

inevitable futo which hangs impending over his asso- |
elates in guilt will have the ellect to completely cow (
this desperate guug of luen, and when the curtain
drops upon the sad scenes of this tragic history it is
to be hoped that Molly Maguirism will he hidden Iroin
public view forever. The days of terrorism which so
long existed in the anthracite coal Holds of Pennsylvania
have come to an end. anil their bloouy annals will
belong, it Is believed, to ma past.

representative of tho Irish society, said that ho would !
endeavor to get the copy at Washington on Mk)inlay, j
Meanwhile tho benefit of Castle Garden will be o.\londud

Mr. John N. Abbott, general passenger agent of tho 1

A BROOKLYN BANK ROBBED.
Yostcrday morning it transpired in business circles
that a robbery bud occurred en Friday, March 17, In tho
Fullon Bank, Fulton street, Brooklyn, and that tho fact
hud been kept secret by the officials of tho institution
and by the police for tho purpose of facilitating tho
pursuit of the alleged criminal, who is a fugitive. In
the early part oi the week u few observers of bank
stock remarked that there was a slight lulling off ,
in the stock of the Kultou. but thoy .did uot attach
much attention to it until yesterday, when the
mystery was solved by the directors publishing a card,
sotting forth the fact that the receiving teller, B. l>.
lingers, had stolen between $'24,000 and $'25,000 in currency
Irom tho bunk. On last Friday week, when tho
doors ol the hank had been closed lor tho day and tho
clerks bad doparlcd for their homes, Rogers took
from tho safe the ahovo amount of money In
greenbacks of vurlous denominations, which
was intended for the business of the following
day, uud wrapping up the packugo in a newspaper lie
placed it under his arm and left tho premises. He
then went to bis residence. No. 11*24 1'iilon street, South
Brooklyn, lie did not tell his wife what tho packngo
contained, but shortly alter entering the house he took
it up and said he was going to hut shoemaker's. He
lell the house, and that was the last she saw of him.
Iaite on the same evening Mrs. Hogors received a note
ltom her husband, which cuuio by a messenger of the
American District Telegraph Company, informing her
ihut ho was very sorry that ho could not roturu to his
homo that night, us he hud met with a iriend and ho
had gone with the iatlor to Uridgc|iort, and would return
the day following. On Saturday morning a letter
was received by Mia Rogers irom hor husband, winch
contained statements that are withheld by iho (mlice
authorities. It also oncloao^ $?>00, which was handed
over to the l'olico I'roporty Clerk, and is held
in trust till the arrest ami examination of
Rogers shall determine whether the lugitlvo
is entitled to It. As soon as tho robbery was discovered,
upon opening the sale In tho bunk on tho
morning ol Saturday, March It*, tho Drcsideui of tho
Institution, Mr. luuubert, at once notified Superintendent
Cumpbcll of the facts, ulid that ol'lclal ud\ isod
the strictest secrecy in the case. Nut a word or it hint
was to be given to tno pre.-s. for one entire week the
silent system worked well, and tbe public was kept iu
ignorance dt tbe tacu It is rather a remarkable circumstance
that tno same Institution was roll tied of a
much forger amount by a former teller, named Foster,
a lew years ago; but iu thai case the relatives ol the
defaulter, who were highly respectable and wealthy,
reimbursed the bank tor its Ions, and the matter was
dropped. The Superintendent in the present case
put Detectives Corwin and Folk on the trail of
Rogers. Due olticcr went to Orange county.
Sew York, whuro the accused hud some
relatives living. The other detective went lo
Baltimore. Md., in which city Mrs. Rogors, who Is a
most excellent and roll nod Southern lady, resided
nrior to her marriage. In neither locality did succe.-s at
tcml the search ol the ollicers. M r- Rogers gave I bo
police, besides the $f>00 alluded to above, which

as to where her husband col'M have (um, as lie arm

Considerable excitement was occasioned in this city
to-day by tho report of the arrest of Irr. Cordon W.
Briggs, for unlawlul surgical treatment upon Clara K.
Patterson. on Ashburton street, which resulted in her
death. A fruitless attempt was made to get the dyiug
deposition of the girl. The warrant against the abortionist,
winch had been issued bolore tho girl's death,
was w ithdrawn and substituted for ono charging hiin
with murder. Ho was arraigned iu the Court of Justices
this morning, and pleaded not guilty. H?
was ready to furnish ball, but it was refused by tht
Judge, and be was romovod to jail until next Wodues
day, when the examination will take place. The court
room was crowded, and the feeling is very stron|
against him.
