Remarkable Carcer of a Notorions Woman Pickpocket, Mollie Rolbrook's Chi 0, Bxploits— Her Clever Escape nnda— Rearrested in Bosto To Chicago belongs the honor of hav- ing produ Mollie Holbrook, the “Queen of Crooks,” who returned from Boston, where she passed a year in re- tirement, and was consigned a few days ago to Blackwell s Isiand for the next five years. Sheis the female pickpocket par excellence. History throws no light on the date of Mollie’s birth, and her age is largely a matter of conjecture, 1t is safe to say, however, that she is still on_the sunny side of half a century. Her picture, which is accorded a place of honor in the Rogues’ Gallory at Police Headquarters, was taken somo five or six years ago, and is numbered 1,371, Tt is a singular face, and never fails to attract the attention of visitors. Mollie can lay no claim to beauty. Her forehead is high and nar- row; heavy brows overshadow a pair of deep sunken, piercing eyes; the cheek bones are high, the nose s of medi length, upper lip long and mouth evi- dently contiacted to meet the require- ments of a free-lunch fiend. She looks down from the wall on which she hangs with a smile as bland and contented as if she had been photographed by tho in- stantaneous process immediately after the perpetration of & more than ordinarily remunerative crime. The picture is in- scribed *‘Mollic Hoey, alias Holbrook, alias Williams. Expert thief.” She is five feet two inches in height, has dark brown hair and light complexion, Yearsfago, when Chicago was a com- paratively small town, Mollie sud hor husband, who was known as ‘‘Buck” Holbrook, kept a notorious saloon on Wells street, that was the headquarters of all the desperate characters in town. “Buck’s” talents lay in the way of bur- glary and bank breaking, and in his nu- merous exploits he was ably seconded by his amiable better half. Ile came to an untimely end at tho hands of an officer, who shot him while he was attempting to break jail. After the death of her partmer Mollio continued to carry on tho business, and in 1872 brought herself prominently be- fore the notice of the police by robbing a Chicago merchant named Daniels of a triflo of §40,000. She enticed Daniels to her room and drugged him, afterwards relieving bim of all his valuables, ¥ind- ing that Chicago was too hot for her she flod to New York. Three months later after her arrival here she was observed by Detective Dosenberry, in the act of picking tho pocket of an old lady on the corner of Lighth stteet and Droadway. When it was found that she was *‘wanted’ in Chicago for the £40,000 robbery she was sont to that city in charge of Detec- tive Fisher, of Chicago. The detective committed the indiscre- tion of purchasing tickets for himself and bis fair charge via the Canada Southern line, and when the train reached Hamil- ton and a stop was made for lunch Mollie put down her little foot and refused posi- tively to continue the journey, alleging re- | er court w that she was on British soil, and that the detective had no further jurisdietion over her. She was backed up in this step by Johnny Hoey, the notorious burglar, with whom she had been living since her hus- band’s death, and who had taken passage on the same train. Her view of the law was confirmed by the Canadian courts, and she was once moro a free woman, She again returned to Now York, was again arrested and sent to Chicago, whero, however, her case never came up for trial, Atter that for some years she con- fined hor operations to the smaller cities, where she prospered exceedingly by hir- ing as a domestic, and at night decamp- ing with her employer’s valuables. 1In 1876 she was again in New York and it is believed that she was one of the women who then hired a room at No, 76 Ludlow street, adjoining Ludlow Street jail, and oxcavated the hole through which *‘Red Leary” escaped. Oun the 30th of September, 1881, she visited Macy's store in company with a confederate named Emma Jennings, alias “Little Emma,” where she was detected in the act of stealing a pocketbook from an old lady trom Schenectady, named Mrs. Catharine Curtis, When a floor- walker named Kigdeway attempted to detain her she resisted desperately, tear- ing his clothes and knocking him down. She would have escaped had ot a police- man came to the rescuo. Sho was placed under bond but jumped her bail and agnin disappeared. On Junuary 28, 1882, she was arrested by Inspector Byrnes at the elevatod sta- tion at Fronklin st. She was tried and sentencod to five years imprisonment,but pending the appeal of her case to a high again released on bail. Sho teok advantage of her liberty to go to Boston, where she was a fow days after arrival again caught at her favorite pas- time of picking ladies pockets and sen- tenced to one year's imprisionment. Her term expired on Saturday, and as she was leaving the prison and congratulat- ing herself on again being free she was ounced upon by two Of Inspector yrne's detectives, who brought her to this city to serve out her term for rob- bery in Macy's. e e— First Class Insurs Tnsuro with Zhomas' clectrio Oil, 1t s the cheapest aud best mothod of insurauce we know of, By its use you are sure to escape umay grelvous achostand pains.

N 29, TH0LE, &o. i b T ) 3 *'Not oftener than two or three times. Conyicts will not leave when they know good hounds are on hand to catch them." “Couid you not dispense with the hounds and depend upon your gunsi” “'No, indeed; you cannot hold conviots with shot-guns. It is fear of the hounds which keeps thewm quiet. Desertion is useless when recapture is a moral certain- ity, as is tho cuse when good hounds are llmplqtd." *'Lo you have dificulty in properly training your hounds?" *'Ob, no; that is about the only sport there is. Hero comes the puppies. We will give them a run and let you seo how it is done.” A trusty was sent down the lane and over the fence, through a large field, on arun for dear lifo. When he had ac- complished about a_half a mile, or half his circuit, the puppics, three six months old hounds, were put on his track, and they started, noising the ground and yelping as they ran. On they kept, over fences and through the stubbles and litches, never ceasing their noise. metimes they would run over the trail where the trusty had made an abrupt turn, but soon they would return to the spot where they lost the scent and cau- tiously feel their way until certain they had the trail, when they would off again, The trusty was a long distance runner, but tho soft ground made his impromptu track heavy, aud ho lagged as he ap- proached the end of his run, evidently fatigued. The dogs gained on him_rapidly, and wore yelping close upon him. He was ordered to run to a tree or fence and get out of the way, 8o that they would have to find him by the scent. ~ Ho first tried to climb a high gate post, but the dogs, with their noses to the ground, were wpon him almost, and forced him to take shelter in & wagon which was standing in the yard, where he hid himself in the bed just as the dogs came to the gate. They {ooked up the gate post and smelled around a little, then without delay fol- lowed the trail to the wagon and discov- ered their prey, lying panting like a tug- boat, I looked at the perspiring convict, wnd my heart smote me for being the cause of his race, but I soon found out that it was a groat privilege, enjoyed by but fow, and giving the puppies a race was considered by them the very essence of pleasure, Tho convict took an old blanket in his hand and alighted on the ground, where the dogs fought him fiercely, making vicious springs for him. Ho ropulsed them by bufferting thom with the blanket, jumping away and thwarting them in any manner without hurting them. Finally one of the dogs fastoned his teeth in the convict's coarse pants, and, holding on with unyielding tenacity, was swung round and round with vigor until tired. The dogs were then taken by a guard, and Tthe convict wont away highly pleased with his sport. e — Horstord's Acid Phosphate As a Brain Food, D, 8. F. Newcovkr, Groonfield, 0., says: *‘In casos of general debility and torpor of the mind and body, it does exceedingly well,” —— A BATILE IN SCHOOL. A Long Island Pedagogue's Method ot Katorcing Order. Cor, Brooklyn Faglo, Curenoavs,, L. 1., Feb. 6.—Since the murder of James Wickham and his wife, nearly thixty years ago, this placo has had no such excitement as that which rocke it to-day. Every houschold is animated with the discussion of the affair, the es- sence of which is that the school-teacher, Rev. Ezra Miner, drow a knife on a pu- pil named Patrick Glenn, declaring as he did so, “*This shall be a tight of life and death.” Tho good sense of the scholar in awaiting further offensive action by the man of peace doubtless prevented blood- shed. The threatening attitude of the wan_ and boy had the effect of emp- tying the school of all but three or four of the older scholars, and those who 80 summarily dismissed themselves ran home with the story that Patsey Glenn aud Mr. Miner were murdering each other, Every man in_the village hurried to the school expecting to find the youth and the pedagogue weltering in gore, but, instead, found them in the attitude of defiance. It was a rude tab- leau of Ajax defying the lightning. The Rev. Eza ]%linur 18 about fifty years of age, small of stature, wiry, and his neighbors say possessed of a peppery temper. Ho has lived here some years owning a snug farm. He claims asso- cation with the Gieorgia Methodist Epis- copal conference, but the Methodists of this place wogld not sit quietly under R e T (S prosent Methodist pastor has not seen fit to cultivate Mr.. Miner’s acquaintance. The former pastor, Rev. Mr. Fanning, not being aware at_the beginning of his pas- tora'e of the feelings of the people, in- vited Mr. Miner to the pulpit. This kindly nct was instantly resented by the parighioners, and the spirit of rebellion quite alarmed the good Mr. Fanning. The burden of the objection to Mr. Miner is that he is arbitrary and dicta- torial in an offensive degree, anxious to subordinate every mind to his own on tho theory that his is & mind of superior culture, fit to govern. The poople read- ily acknowledge his scholastic ability, but are quick . to assert that ho lacks good common gense. The man above all others gifted with the latter bless- ing, the pung!o say, is Rev. Mr, \\"fmlu , of the Presbyterian church, In the Methodist church there exists a spirit of rebellion so deep that Pastor McNicholl and some of the worshippers are not on speaking terms. ‘lhe Presby- terians claim that on one occasion, when Rev, Mr. McNicholl was delivering a lecture, Mr, Miner insulted the speaker and his followers by declaring in the meeting that the locture was not mi terial in tone. It is charged that on an- other occasion Rev. Mr. McNicholl at- tempted to change a custom that had ex- isted for thirty years, by proposing to hold temperance meetings quarterly in- stead of monthly, The reason he ,as- signed for desiring the change was that there was not suffi- cient intelligence in the vil- lage to make monthly meetings interesting. Every man and woman felt this to be a persoval insult, Rev. Mr, MecNicholl, on another oceasion, so the peoplo say, denounced as & loafers’ re. treat a place where nothing worse than oigars, candies and peanuts were sold by a member of his own church. Now, with the school war added, the place for miles around is beset with the unholy spirit of strife, contention and back- biting. Rov. Eara Miner is well known througheu’, Long Island, having preached and taught school in many places. Dur- ing the war he was an agent of the Froedman's bauk in the south, Among the boys attending the minis- ter's school was one named Roscoe Conk- ling. He is an exceptionally bright boy, with so keen a relish of tne humorous that he could not restrain his laughter while narrating the incidents of the school fight, 1t appears that the pupils relieved the tediousness of the school hour by the boy at one end of the row hitting his neighbor, and so on until the tap had gone the round of the room, Patsey Glenn was the boy last hit, it seems, and Patsey passed the strokeback in the best of humor, It was carried to such an extent that the boys tittered, then laughed, but all were suddenly re- stored to a state of solemn silence by a resounding blow of the fist which the Reov. Mr, Miner lot fall on Glenn’s head. Glenu is eighteen years old, as large as the minister probably stronger. When some of the boys tittered again, Glenn could not restrain his merriment, and his laugh set the school in uproar. Rov. Mr. Miner seized a alato and ap- pronched Glenn with it uplifted, ready to strike. The fun took a serious and alarming turn, Glenn jumped out hin seat, brandishing a pair of heavy iron skates and glared defiance at the minis- ter, who came to a sudden halt, His face was livid with rage. He dropped the alate and put his heel through it Hia right hand brought a jack knife out of his trowsors pocket, and he opened a blade almost as Jong as a dirk, “‘Come on,” shouted the teacher, like another Macduff, “‘this shall be a battle of life and death.” “Don’t take another step or I'll brain you,” said Glenn. “8it down, you bloodthirsty young villain!"” ordered the teacher. “‘Put up your knife first, you coward'” retorted Glenn, Neither moved astep, They eyed each other like panthers waiting an opportuni- ty to spring. All the time the timid children were hurrying out of the school, while the older and bolder boys edged their way up to Glenn, doubtless willing to assist him, and encouraged him hy mying: “Stand your ground, Patsey.” Finally the minister gave in. When he had pocketed his knife GGlenn sat down. “Take all that belongs to you and never come back,” said the teacher, ‘‘Good riddance,” said Patsey, and they all left. It was a vory foggy day for the Rev. Mr. Miner. o — YTRYING” WING MACHIN Impositions Complained of by the Dealers, San Francisco Chron ““Taking sewing machines on trial has become a mania among the ladies,” said the proprietor of an ugency yesterday to a reporter who had called to make some inquirios concerning the business, *You know any one is considered protty smart who can outdo a sewing-machine canvas. ser and any means to that end are looked upon as justifiable, even by people who are perfectly honest and upright in every other way.” “‘But what has unscrupulous dealing withagents to do with your first statement regarding the taking of machineson trial?” was asked. “Kverything. You see, of late years thia system of leaving machines at all the places where they are suspected of being required and afterwards bought has be- come 80 general that they are sold, I might say, in no other way; at least it is extremely rare for a castomer to enter a store and buy a machine outright before having tested it at home. What has led to this practice—a pernicious one, 1 must say—has been the anxiety of new makers to rush their manufactures upon the warket, and, of course, as tho system became general among the more recently established firms and agencies, the old sowing-machine men had to follow or fose a great amount of trade. [t has been attempted frequently within the past year to introduce somo new method of nelling sewing machines, but the ladies will not hear of any other plan than that which now rules and which can only be changed by the united action of agents and dealers, which is an impossibility among the jealous rivals they have made of each other through malicious misrep- resentations of competitors’ machines in the attempt to put their own as far for- ward as possible.” A MACH OR NOTHING, “How does this trial system interfere with the workings of a gosd sewing- machine business!” “T'll tell you. There are a good num- ber of women who take machines on trial, never intending to buy them. We allow a lady to use a machine two weeks, and then call on her and if she raakesan excuse for not purchasing, we must cart our machine back to the store. in the meantime, perhaps, this same person has made an arrangement with another agent to try one of a different manufacturs, with no more intention of making a bar- gain than in the first instance. At the end of two weeks that machine goes, an- other takes its place, and 8o on for sev- eral months, Why, I have known pri- vate sramatressos to do a whole year's sewing on different machines without pay- ing one cent toward their purchase or ever having the slizhtest intention of doing s0. A good machine costs about $60, and they run as high as 390—quite an outlay of money to some persons of moderate means, you see; but this ex- pense is escaped by many economical people in this city in the way I have mentioned.” ““Porsons of the poorer class!” suggeat- ed the reporter. “‘That's where yaumake a big mistake, sir. This scheme 1s resorted to by ladies of considerablo means, among them wealthy people. As [ said before, they think it all right to make such arrango- mentswith canvassers and cannot be made to see the wrong that isdone. Machines are often marred and broken and we can do nothing in the way of payment for our troublein varnishining aud repair- ing them,” TRIAL MACHINES, “But is it not considerable trouble to ladies, this changing of sewing wma- chines!” **No trouble at all and no expense, as we handle them all and shift them from place to place at the will of the person who takes them to try.” And all dealers nowadays allow ma- chines to go out on trial?” “Yea, as I said before, they are forced t do it or suspend business operations, this kind, where the trial system is not permitted, A number of manufacturers ave mude machines for the express pur- pose of sending them out to be tested by people who talk about buying, and this, in its way, is not a bad idea, for the same machinory can be made up in an unfin- ished shupe and the wooden portion may be of cheap material. Then, it the ma- chine-tryer really intends buying, an arti- cle of the same pattern and finished in good shape may be sold. But I am against this whole ssstem of letting out machines on trial. * It people want to test the quality of sewing machines let them come to the stora and try them there, The trial i * Petroleum V., Nasoy, D.

Engineer Tells a Story of the Great Destrnction of Cattle Lincoln Democrat, 21. There have been many conflicting stories regarding the death of cattle in the Republican valley, some contending that the ioss has been light, while others claim that the loss is unprecedented. Our reporter has looked the matter up, and learns from Simon Lewis, tae en- gineer who draws the pay car, a story of untold destruction of cattle in the west. He says that on his last trip over the west the valleys and gulches are hiterally strewn with the carcasses of cattle that have starved to death. Great herds, numbering thousands, will wander about looking for water and food, and going into these gulches, toojweak to get out, die there by the thousands. Mr. Lewis said if he had one live steer for every 16 he saw strewu along the line of the Bur- lington & Missouri road he would have a herd second to none in the west. Several times the train was stopped by the poor, weak and starved beasts as they gathered on the track, refueing to move except as pushed off by the engine, and at other times the train would be compelled to stop and wait while a_herd of 25,000 or 50,000 cattle crossed the track, as it was utterly useless to attempt to pass through. Another engineer says that on a single trip through the Republican river valley his engine killed no fess than 33 head. The suow is about two feet deep, and the weather intensely cold, and with neither food, water nor sheiter, what more could be expocted! —— ARE YOU GOING TO EUROPF? 1n another column will be found the an- ouncement of Messrs, THOS, COOK & SON, ourist Agents, 261 Broadway, New York, relative to the very complete arrangements they have made for tours i the coming Spring and Summer, sionist,” containing maps and fuii particuiacs, will be mailed to any address on receipt of 10 cents, From “Mexico and is _Antiquities,” Scicnce Monthly for March. The next most important deposits are the immense beds of iron, chiefly in the form of the magnetite and hematite ores, The well-known Cerrc del Mercado, in the state of Durango, has been estimated to contain sixty million cubic yards of iron-ore, which have a weight of five billion quintals, and give, according to analysis by Mr. M. H. Borje, of Phila- delphia, sixty-six per cent of pure metal, Lead-ores are abundant; copper is mined at various places; oxide of tin is found in veinr,alluvial beds ut Durango.

The an- thracite-bed recently discovered at Bar- ranca, on the Yaqui river in Sonora, is probably the largest and richest deposit of coal in the republic. Lignite, or brown coal, ocours in many places, but is not used to any great extent. The de- mand for ceal, is so far, much greater than the supply accessible to the rail- ronds. Mining is still conducted by working on the old Mexican plan, and this system has been found, under exist- ing circumstances, to be more economical and profitable than a system in which modern and improved methods are ap- plied. Some of the oldest mines in Mexico, many of which were worked before the ish conquest, are at Pachua, in the state of Hidalgo, There are about one hundred and fifty of them, seventy-five of which are in the Real del Monte,afford- ing an ore compoaed mainly of blackish silver sulphides.
