—-----▼ 1D1TH HAMMOND. The Female Accomplice of » Well-KnOwu New York KaecaL 'tit. Louis Ckronlcls. Edith Hammond is the wickest wo man In the world! She declares so her self and says she is glad of it. She was once the fond daughter of a millionaire and the wife of one of the most promi nent men lu New York, and yet two nights ago sho was found pressed iu ragged garmeuts and stupid from drink ing, upon the cornsr of Pine and Four teenth streets. Her career is unequalled. She has reused more uuhappiness and commit ted more crimes than any woman who ever lived. She is but thirty-two years old, but she looks twice that age. Ham moud was her maiden name, and twelve years ago she was a leader in New York society and was the heiress of $2,000,000. Her mother was dead, and her father, Wilbur B. Hammond, was one of the most prominent bankers in New York. To please her father she married Herman B. Thompson, a young New Yorker of wealth and family. It was not long before she discovered that she did not lovo him and never could. While spending a few days of her wed ding tour in Chicago, she met the famous “Billy” Buttner, the celebrated “divorce shark.” who is now serving a sentence of fifteen years in Sing Sing Prison. He fell desperately In love with her and she with him. Sne shut him from her mind. She had choseu her husband and must abide by her choice. Not so with him, however. He knew she was a wife, but that did not stop him from winniug her love. He followed her to New York and wrote letter after letter to her, begglug her to meet him and telling her of his love. Love finally tri umphed, aad the youug wife commenced her downward career. Buttner, after much persuasion, in duced her to leave her husband and fly with him. She took her jewels and what money she could get and the pair went to Chicago. Buttner had nothiug but his brains and a handsome face. The young wifo soon repented of her rash deed, but it was too late, and nothing was laft to her but to follow the fortunes of the compaolou she had sacrificed so much for. In Chicago he installed her iu luxurious apartments, and then com menced a life of crime and daring swin dling schemes. Her wouderful beauty fascinated the victims, and when cards were produced they failed to notice the clever tricks that were costing them thousands of dollars. Champagne flowed as freely as water, and daylight usually found a victim an occupant of Buttner s apart ments. Then the game commenced iu earnest. Victims finally became scarce. Peo ple ha<l heard of Huttner atid steered clear of him. Something must be done. He was a lawyer, and he puzzled his brain for a money-making scheme. Fi nally he formed a plan, which for cun ningress and daring has never been equalled. He opened an office an Lasalle street, and advertized that he could procure divorces “for men only" quickly, and on the slightest provocation. When a man called and wanted to sue his wife for divorce, Huttner would sit down and draw uv a p#p**r. charging the wif« with every offence h<* could think of. The ph[mts he would til*' in some ob scure <’<i'ura i > court, but the client's wire would never be notified. When th“ case was called “Dashing** Edith hi:im:m>!:'i w >u!d app< i'* in court and repr.Mtit her>* if as the mans wife. 1 • * eh re* s would be made, ard when she in.'k' the “Mnl sh“ wonld at fir-'t d« • y *vcrythiug, and finally break down, and with tears in her bright blue eyes r: owl edge t ti :i * the charges were true, and upon her knees beg “her husband” to forgive h^r and take her back. Of course lie would refuse, and a divorce would be immediately granted. The first the man’s wife would know about it was when she was told her hu«bar.d had b*'en granted a divorce, and she wss cast aside forever. She was powerless. No one would listen to her tale, and she would finally submit to tho outrage. So clever was Edith Hammond that by wearing disguises >ho has appeared In one Court before th*» same Judge three times in one month, ard imper sonated the wives of different men. They continued to secure fraud ulent divorces for many months, miking thousands of dollars. Chicago became too hot for the pair about two years ago, and they tied to New York. In that city a short time ago Huttner was arrested for forg'- g the m »I of the Su preme Court to divorce papers. He was sentence I to fift- eu years iu Sing Sing, and Edith was left alone. G. A. K.

New York, July 5.—Pollticlansinfchis city are very much interested In the re cent developments in Canada of what they term the “contract boodling scheme” in the Dominion. In the offi cial inquiry which is in progress this week st Ottawa, wituess Owou E. Mur phy stated on sath that he had paid $15,000 of the boodle raised by the con tractors to Sir Hector Langevin, Minis ter of Public Works, as the latter’s share of the bribery fund. Public opin ion has set against the Minister very strongly, and it was announced yester day la dispatches from Ottawa that Sir Hector had decided to retire from pub lic life. The witness in this case, Owen E. Murphy, is well remembered in New York as the Treasurer of the Excise Hoard who embezzled $10,000 and fled to Canada thirteen years ago. The story of Murphy’s escapade is not without in terest. After coming from Ireland as a boy, ho learned the trade of a tinsmith and prospered in his little shop iu East Houston street. Taking an active in terest in politics in the Seventeenth ward he was sent to the Assembly In the year 1807 and also in 1S70 from the Tenth Assembly District. Through his political influence he was appointed Excise Commissioner, and it was while he was Treasurer of the Board in 1878 that the celebrated contest between Augustus Schell and Johu Morrissey for Congress excited much attention. Murphy, was iu the vernacular “fly ing high” about that time. He bet heavily on Schell. When his favorite was defeated, Murphy had to shell out about $20,000 in cold cash, which broke | his heart, and made him a thief. Of ' course it was Excise money which had been wagered, and when the Board’s j Treasurer balanced his books the next Jav ho found that his accounts were ! $40,000 short, because the city’s money J had been freely used iu other ways. Notwithstanding the fact that Mur phy was on the top wave of success and was slated for Fire Board, he resolved to join the boodie colony in Canada, which was not extensive in those days. So he went to the safe one morning, aud finding $20,000 in bills, weighed the package carefully iu both hands, and pocketed half. Two days later he was in Canada, an embezzler to the amouut [ of $50,000. Doing directly to his cousin, Mr. Con nolly, at St. Catherines, Murphy, with tears iu his eyes, told of his shame. “Well, it’s very lucky,” exclaimed tho | cousin, cheerily. “Why, I am a ruined man,” said Murphy, sadly. “Not a bit of it. Open that closet door and you will find a broken old pitcher. I’ut in your hand and you may take out $28,000 which I was about to bank Hasten b;-bk to New \ork and settle up like a man.” Murphy, however, said that he feared t f ce the Indignant citizens of New York, who had advertised him as a thief. So the embezzlement still stands against the fugitive. Through agents Mnrphy managed t<-> sell his New York real estate for $2»,000 before the city could secure a judgment against him. He then wont | to Brazil and secured a subvention from Emperor Don Pedro by which he was to get 1.500 acres of land for his services in bringing a large number of immigrants to Brazil. The scheme failed, and Murphy drifted back to Canada and set up in business as a con tractor on a large scale. T' >r several years past Murphy has succeeded in underbidding all competi tors, and bribery has more than once been hinted at. It is said that the man has accumulated a fortune of 1300,000 by methods peeulitr to himself, and in his latest boodle scheme he has fort ver ruined one of the brightest political le aders in the Dominion, DEAD TO THE WOKLD. I’ecuUor Condition of r* Baltimore Hospital l'utltnt—swelled L'p by Breathing. Baltimore, July 6.—The physicians of th*> Maryland University Hospital i have one of the strangest cases they have ever dealt with in the person of | Frede rick Besslnger, a German. Bee singer, who is about 30 years of age, was found on the street apparently un : sciou>. The doctors tried to revive him, but he remained in a state of coma. As a la*t resort ammonia was applied to hi* nostrils, and he regained his senses in a moment. While inhaling it he was sensible, but as soon as it was taken away he became unconscious again. While under the influence of the ammo nia he told his name, and said he llvod in Milwaukee. All day long ho lies In his cot blankiv staring at the ceiling. After a consultation of the Faculty the Doctors have arrived at the conclu sion to-day that his ailment is a rare form of hysteria. They say his brain and nerves are affected to such an o\ I tent that he imagines himself ill. The | strange part of his ailment is that ara [ rnouia is the only thing yet tried that has any effect on him. As soon as a ! towel saturated with it is placed to his r.onrils he becomes rational in a moment. To bodily pain he appears to be inseu sib’e. Pins stuck in his flesh are un noticed by him. A galvanic battery aroused him for awhile, but the effect was not permanent. Dr. Finckle, who i has the the case In charge, says it is the strangest he ever saw. To prove that the man was not unconscious, he made a move as though to stfck his fin ger in his eye. Instantly the eyelids closed. Another strange feature of the easels that the patient asks for food and water when he requires it. The doctor made him fa>t for a day to observe the effect i on him. He quickly wanted to know when his dinner would bo ready, and j begged for water. His memory seems , to be very bad. At one time he says a : thing and soon afterward contradicts it. Bessinger has now been at the Hospital five day*. Another curfons case is that of Otto Weir, who fell from a car at Canton. In falling Weir ruptured his left lung, causing the air to escape into his stom ach as he breathed It In, and it is only by the use of strong bandages that his body can be kept from bursting. Weir’s body is swollen to twice the nat ural size, and his chances for recovery are small. Savings Hank Closes* Montgomery, Ala., July 6.—Moses Bros’, bank suspended payment this morning. All their real estate, personal proparty and bills of exchange have been Included In their assignment. The liabilities are said to be about half a | million dollars. They did a savings bank business, and have many scores of | depositors among the poor people. They i say their assets will amount to more than their liabilities. For Colds, Croups, Asshma. Bron chitis and Sore Throat use Dr. Thomas’ Electric CHI, and g€t the genuine THK RACKABOAR. A Remarkable Animal, and, ol Comae, Chicago Haa One. Chicago Sort. Lincoln Park has a new cariosity. We regard it as the most remarkable specimen of animal life in the zoologic al quartet. It is a rackaboar, the gift of Edward G. Mason, the historian, who, at a great expense, has brought the rare and strange creature from Egypt and presented it to our North Side Park. This curious beast was captured in the wild mountaiuous country about 4oo miles above Cairo and a short distauce back from the Nile. It has somewhat the appearance of a goat, except that its fleece is very curly and of a blueish-black color, and its neck is of extraordinary length. Its eyes are surprisingly large and beautiful, and its small head is sur mounted by two slender cork-screw horns, perhaps four inches in length. The rackaboar lives altogether upon tbe shelf mountains of Its native district. These mountains are composed, as their name indicates, of a mighty series of rocky shelves or steps, of so regular a formation that one might fancy that these same shelves or steps had been hewed out by artisans instead of being simply a beautiful caprice of nature. Upon these shelves or steps does the rackaboar abide, subsisting on the hardy herbage there abounding, and, to en able It to move swiftly and securely over this unusual surface, nature has provided the beast with two short and two longer legs, thus enabling the rack aboar to career at full speed upon the rocky shelves. The legs upon the right side of the beast are from three to seveu inches longer than those on the left side, consequently the rackaooar pursues his way, easily, gracefully and swiftly, one set of feet resting on a lower shelf of the mountain and the other'restlng on the superadjacent shelf. When pursued by lions, jackals, hy enas, or other foes the rackaboar easily escapes, for he is exceedingly fleet, and has this advantage, viz., that whereas he is formed to run upon a side hill, the others are not, and so he quickly van ishes aud his adversaries, footsore and embarrassed, rie>ist from the chase. When, as frequently happens beasts of prey come face to face with this harm less creature, the rackaboar instinctive ly doubles its long neck back under its belly, thrusts its head up between its hind legs, and, thus reversed, makes ffond its flight in the opposite direction. Tbo only way whereby tho rackaboar can be captured Is to station bands of hunters both before and behind it, and then the beast may betaken with lassoes. Barn urn once had a rackaboar in his menagerie, but tho poor creature soon died of a surfeit of peanuts and popcorn fed to him by children when the keeper was not. looking. This specimen which Mr. Mason has derated to Lincoln Park is tho second which has been taken out of Egypt. Ho is now provided with quarters near the aviary, and seems to be contented enough on the rough pile of stone steps hastily constructed for his accommodation. Mr. Edbrooke, the architect, says that rackaboars used to abound in the Rocky Mountains when he lirst went to Colorado, but that tho harmless crea tures were soon exterminated by sports men. In Africa the species are rapidly becoming extinct. liy the writers of antiquity the rackaboar was frequently mentioned. Pliny confounds him with the unicorn; Herodotus gives a lively description; Aristotle calls him the mountain sheep; Marco Polo declares that be is to ho found in Tartary, and Sir John Mandeville praises his flesh as being “Full swete for eatingo and for yo remouving of ailo curst distempers and mischievous rheums that prey in ye livre and ye reins of marine and goo about totilling ye sowlo with horrid con I temptations.” -- LOVE IN TUE ItICi WINDY. A Wild Tale of Human Emotions from the Suburbs of Chicago. Chicago Tribun*. Tho wind sighed fitfully through the trees that lined the quiet street. Tho cheerful hum of the suburban mos quito prevaded tho sultry air, ihe pale yellow moon shone billiously down on a landscape that looked tired, and the voice of Penobscot Bellamus, the young man from down town, had a fuzzy and precarious sound like an E siring getting readv to break at the close of a warm evening devoted to solos from the old masters. ‘•You do not pretend to misunder stand me, Miss Naggus?” he said, ap pealingly, and moving forward in his chair till he sat on the extreme edge. “Why, Mr. Bellamus,” she replied, “I —I am not exactly sure that—that I The young man-moved forward stiil farther and dropped on his knees be fore her with a mournful thud. “Why do you suppose I have been coming to see all these months?” he exclaimed, “Kate Naggus, look at mo!” i'T suppose,*lr. Bellamus, you have i had to go somewhere, you know, and— but, of course, when I see a young man before me on his knees, why, then, I— I-” “You know he means business, of course,” he said, coming promptly and cheerfully to her assistance. “That's what he moans!” The high-keyed voice of Mr. Penob scot Bellamus suddenly broke, but with out a moment’s pause ho went ahead on the A string. “Kate Naggus, the supreme moment of my life has come! On your decision now rests all my hope of earthly happi ness-all my dread of earthly misery. The time has come when I can bear the suspense no longer. Bewildered by your glorious beauty, intoxicated by the magic of your smile and the music of your voice. I have let precious time go to waste! Enchantress of my heart this moment must decide my fate! My whole future, my destiny for weal or woe. is wrapped up in it 1 If the pure and hon est love of a faithful heart, the earnest and self-sacrificing devotion of a life time can move you, dearest, let me offer you—” lie paused. He seemed to listen a moment. With a look of wild alarm he glanced at his watch, jumped to his feet and grabbed his hat. “Miss Naggus,” he exclaimed in breathless haste, “I have just time to catch the last train in! Good night!” German Socialist Programme. Berlin, July 5.—The Socialists have published an official programme which is more like a scheme of radical reform thau an a Socialist manifesto. In it they demand universal suffrage for both men and women, a capitol and suc cession tax, the abollition of the stand ing army, the abolition of fees in courts of law, and the granting of free medical assistance.

Foster, Milburn & Co., Buffalo, N, Y. Gentlemen -.—When about ten or twelve years old I was troubled with cracks across the palm of my left hand, and when they healed the trouble broke out on my head, and every winter it would come out as a sort of tetter and make 6calea all over my bead. I have not been free from it a single winter since, but it was worie last winter after I had the grippe, for then it came out in spots all over my body. I had a doctor examine me, and he told me that there was no cure for me. 1 trot worse and worse, Scales would form over the sores and then dry out until they would crack and pop open, showing a watery matter. My skin was all like a dry wrapper. It felt as though it had dried on me. The scales were so bad that they would collect in the bed and have to be shaken out. It was about this time that I commenced using B. B. B. I was so bad that I was ashamed to take mv hat off before ft neighbor. I had used five bottles of another medicine without noticing any effect; but when I commenced to take B. B. B. the sores came out thicker than before, and they burned like fire; they were immense blotches of fire that would burn so I could not sleep. The way they burned and itched can not be told, and I hope no one else may ever know from experience. The only relief I could get was from washing the sores wiih some B. B. B. I stuck to the medldoe and was on the fourth bottle before I could see that I was really better, although I knew that it was better to get such rottenness out of my blood than to have it stay there. I did say once that I wished I had never commenced taking *. B. B.. but my wife encouraged me. and to-day I thank hi - for the ad vice for I am in good health now, and I don't believe I ever would hate been wuh my blood in such a condition as it was.
