The dead body of Chas. Stein ocqnpied the dissecting table at the morgue this morning. Stein was about thirty-five years old. He re- cently came here from Germany, and found em- ploymentas agardener for Mrs. Mary Schultze, the florist, at No. 609 D street northwest. He had worked there for about two years, He was an enthusiastic republican, and won several bets on the recent election. According to in- formation received by the police he was elated over his suecess, and got on a spree and kept it up. Saturday night, it was stated, he was under the influence of intoxieants, and re- tired at anearly hour. When breakfast was ready yesterday morning he was called, but made no response. No attention was paid to this, as it was supposed he would be down be- fore the meal was finished. He did not do so, and an investigation revealed the fact that he was dead. The police were notified, and the body was removed to the morgue. When the police arrived at the house Mrs. Schultze they found the body of the dead man lying across the bed. His clothing was ona chair be- | side it. In one of his pockets was found a box of “rough on rats,” which seemed to indicate that Stein had taken the poison with suicidal intent.

Saturday afternoon a young colored woman dressed in black was seen on 12th street by Officer Kendig going from door to door with a paper asking for assistance. The officer placed her under arrest and took from her the paper which reads as follows: “Mrs. Emily Johnson will he thankful if her friends will help her to bury her child that She is a poor widow and has no one to help. God will bless you for any- thing that you may give her. Emtty Jounson, Dr. Frances. Fantuer Watcu.” The paper showed that she had collected 22.20. She told the officer that her name was Emily Grinnell, but that her late husband was named Johnson. She admitted that she had no dead child at home, and the officer locked her up ona charge of vagrancy. This morn- ing in the Police Court Judge Miller informed her that unless she mended her ways she would render herself liable to a prosecution for false pretenses that might land her in the peniten- tiary. Her brother-in-law, who appeared in her behalf, was accepted on her bond, and she was released. eh gelato The Old Year Out and the New Year In.

The Sons of Jonadab will hold their customary watch-meeting services. The “watch-night party” will be a decided feature this season. number of young ladies and gentlemen meet at some pleasant rendezvons— the house of a friend—and there, with song, story, dance, and refreshments, while away the hours until midnight. Then the gentlemen escort the ladies home. The elocution classes of the Martyn Business College give an enter- tainment which will commence at 7:30 and last until the new year has been announced. The chimes of Metropolitan M. E. church will ring merrily in response to the exertions of Mr. Fred. Reichenbach. seman: <7 Sick JupcEs.—There was no session of the Court in General Term to-day.

A romantic story of love that induced a Ro- man Catholic to become a Hebrew has come to light at San Francisco in the marriage of Hermann Amann to Sarah Seefeldt. Amann comes of good family in South Germany. Seven years ago he came to this country and settled in Chicago, where he obtained a posi- tion as chef in a restaurant. He fell in love with Sarah Seefeldt, a beautiful young Jewess, and wanted to marry her, but she refused be- cause he was not of her faith. For seven years he was her suitor, but her firmness never way- ered. Finally her health began to fail, and hysicians ordered her last month to come to n Francisco. Here Amann followed her and here he decided to renounce his faith to secure her hand. The necessary rites were performed early this month, and the wedding took place Wednesday night. The couple propose to live = eee Francisco on account of the bride’s eal —— —- +00 On a Pilgrimage of Love. A NORTH CAROLINA YOUTH AND HIS INDIAN SWEETHEART ON THEIR WAY TO GEORGIA TO GET MARRIED. A pretty Indian girl and her lover, a young white man, were arrested at Columbia, 8. C., some weeks ago because the girl was dressed in man’s clothing. That they had not been living together as man and wife was ascertained at their lodging-house. Atlast they became weary of their confinement and told their story, which has been verified to the satisfaction of the police, and they have been sent on their way rejoicing. The girl is a Cherokee Indian, and was raised near Fayetteville, N.C. Her com- pero was living in the neighborhood and be- ionged to a good family. They fell in love with each other, but their families would not hear of a union, and the laws of the state forbade it. They accordingly determined to start for Georgia on foot. The girl’s arm was broken b; a falling log and all their money was exhausted. The man had to work in different towns, but this was the first town where the sex of the girl was suspected. They expect to meet friends in Georgia and be married. ——@e—_______ The Hatfield-McCoy Feud. WALLACE, A MEMBER OF THE HATFIELD FACTION, SHOT DOWN BY OFFICERS.

When royalty’s physician in London told Mr. Chauncey Depew that he must take exercise op grow to be a grouty old man, neither doctor nor patient knew that Yankee ingenuity had devised machinery for giving men exercise without their going to the trouble of taking long walks, riding horseback, boxing, fencing, or sitting down on the floor to pull weights up and down, or to make-believe row. One of the features of a so-called sanitarium within a mile of the city hall is such an invention. The patients who go there are mainly business men, They may live a block away, but they must leave their homes and live in the sanitar- ium with the doctors. This is in order that they may get just the food required for each case, take their medicine at the right time, and be put under the care of a special man or valet, who bathes them, rubs them, and even puts them to sleep with — manipulation after they are in bed.

The czar thanked “Brock” for the service he had rendered and decorated him with various orde: }a reward. Charity’s Queer Ways. From the Pittsburg Dispatch, “Charity,” said a well-known caterer, “is quite an art, I should judge, knowing how suc- cessful some people are who practice it.” “At what are you driving?” asked a reporter. “Only this, that it isn’t hard to tell when you're making a sale to a lady for a charitable affair. Now one went out of here only a few minutes ago, having bought a cake for an af- fair which is going on this afternoon. A cake for 75 cents was the extent of her chase, andI have no doubt that she will fly P aa high with it, because it isan angel cake. Every- thing which is to be given away is cheap, and there is no better showing for this than in the sale of candies to Sunday schools for their Christmas treats. The officers usually want the cheapest, and then at prices lower than can conveniently be made. I never like to sell any onthat account; and further, I might say that the cheap candy such people buy is of more value to the doctors than to the scholars,” oe Captured in Connecticut. A BRIGAND WHO MURDERED AN ITALIAN NOBLE- MAN ARRESTED IN THIS COUNTRY. Pietro Dinarvo, an Italian brigand, who rob- bed and murdered the Marquis Giulio San- duzzi, at the latter’s villa, near Torella, Italy, in 1886, was arrested Thursday by Inspector Byrnes’ men, who found him at Stamford, Conn., and he willbe taken back to Italy, ex- tradition pees having already been granted. The marquis was very wealthy and noted for his benevolence, and was killed while heroic- ally resisting three burglars, led by Dinarvo, who had entered the villa and were rifling the strong-box. They secured over 100,000 francs. The affair made a great sensation throughout Itaiy. Two of the robbers were caught in the mountains. They confessed and betrayed Dinarvo, but he escaped from the country. The New York police were notified, and after a long search they have captured the murderer. A Pig for a Walking Companion.

The case was an attempt on the part of Christopher Craft to get control of his children, who had run away from their stepmother to live with their grand- mother. The court decided that the children must go back to their father. Then the storm broke. The children broke into such fierce yells that court had to be ad- journed. They defied every attempt to take them from their grandparents. Lawyers pres- ent began to take sides, one bystander drew a knife, Sd ghtpsng the children and ariot seemed imminent when Judge Hosmer hurriedly called the court to order and said the grandmother might have the children a day or two longer, Then the boy and girl broke out into smiles and ran out of the room. — see —— Senator Heanst’sVineyarp.—Senator Hearst has bought the Madrone vineyard, the finest property of the kind in California, and proposes to raise grapes to be used in making wines, The vineyard is a historical one, as the mansion on it was built by General Sherman and after- ward was the home of “Fighting Joe” Hooker and of General Ston ——se0e—_____ Pastor aND Exper Fiont 1x Cuvnrcy.—It has leaked out at Columbus, Ohio, that at a meeting of the officers of the Christian church last Mon- day evening the troubles that have arisen be- cause of the bad reports concerning their new pastor, Rey.
