Miserable Ending of a Once Romantic Life. an Francisco Cal A fewd ago there died in this city a man whose life at one time was a houschold word and who was for a_considerable period yecognized as a publie benefactor. His fame was a short lived as the fickleness of dame fortune, which endowed him with plenty but to rob him of it in later yenrs. © Without kith or kin and surrounded by none whom he called friends, he passed away to another world beneath the <heltering roof of the county poor- house. The man was William J. Babeock, known to the world as the inventor of a u\nm;_ruim.».-. which the fore- rof the ingenius e inees that an genius evolved for battling For the past seven years he has )»‘ en an inmate of the almshouse, In 1815, when Illinois was but sparsely settled state on the frontier civilization, Babeock was born. His birthplace was asmall hamlat far r moved from any city of consequence. The daily routine of his life was that of the hard-worked backwoodsmen. This lahorious existence did not_fully accord with the sensitive nature of Babeock. Chance knowledge had fired his ambition and, filled with a determina- tion to attain a higher and hetter posi- tion in the world, he shook off the fet- ters that bound him to the drudgery in which he was and _sought fields that coulp sutify his ambition. He was a man of much mental ability, and his pacity for such labor, as well as an in- scn=ate longing for enlightment, event- ual'y led him to Harvard college, from which he graduated. His i wis next attracted to the stud icine, which he pursued w ‘ofit that he was soon enabled to prac- » that profession. Throughout his early life he evinced a strong l\l\m" for mechanical inven- tions, and this fondnes ided by his wwledge of chemieals, led, after a wumber of years of unsuccessful experi- ments, to the evolution of his widely famed extinguisher, which had been suggested by the ineficieney of fire com- panies to deal promptly with incipient conllagrations, 0 meritorious Babeoek’s con- ivance that it was immediately adopted throughout the country. Success and fortune seemed to turn his head. Heo travelea extensively in the United States, colleeting royalties and dispos- ing of his state rights in the r.m-m Wealth flowed in upon him rapid He planned a trip to the continent of vope that eventuelly led to his down- and ruin. In the gay cupital of wmee he met a bewitching young American girl, whose beauty soon occu- d his entire thoughts, ‘The woman in truth, an adventuress, and she tim to her wiles. They w in time and spent llu'lrhnm-\n\mm and several years beside, in traversing the Enropedn coutinent.

He sank furthe nto degradation, and hisonly de: be came to pacify the growing and craving inspired by liquor. He visited various parts of this const endeavoring to sell his fire. machines. This recourse for money in time failed him, and h up to the hunger for intoxicants. Often he was found in the streets senseless from strong drink.

Lying in Wait For Victims—The Modus Operandi—One Man Saved By a Detective—A Sample Experience. New York Correspondence of tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat: “If T lost my present position,” said & New York police detective to the writer a fow days ago, “T would go into the sawdust business. There's more money in it and less risks thun any similar occupa- tion.” The first part was spoken in jest, but there was a deal of truth in it. The four best known ‘‘green woods™ men in this city have made & barrel of money in the mnt two years. They are Barney McGuire, Jo Little, Chavley Johnson and Charles Parmerly. Each is the leader of a “gang,” for the business re- quires a large force of employes. The minor rogues make only their wages with pickings and stealings, just as in politics and elsewhere, but the leaders grow rich on large and frequent profits. There is the best authority for saying that McGuire's gains during the past two years have not been less than $150,000. The others have not earned s0 much, say #25,000 for Parmerly, 40,000 for Johnson and $50,000 for Lit- tle. Altogether 5 a profitable busi- ness and bids fair to be permanent and safe. The laws do not cover the offense, so that the sawdust man who fights hard can almost always sceure an nequittal. Many of those con- victed have foolishly ple :ded guilty when there was not the least need of it. The methods of these men have been ex- posed without number, but the victims continue to pour in. Newspaper arti- (lw on the subject, though they state the factsin the clearest terms, are only advertisements for the business, and are 80 regarded by the sawdust men. When an expose comes to the hands of a man who is thinking of purchasing “green goods,” he simply sneers at the idea that he can be eaught in such a net, and at once matures a plan to get the best of the swindlers., Tt costs him from 0 to $1.500 to find out that his plan is not reliable. AMPLE Your corresponde |\1 was standing in the Pennsylvanta fe house, foot of Courtland street, early in the nnormmu, justas the passengersof a through train anded in this city. Among them was man whose appearance was so pecu- liar that attention was attractod to him at once.

Johnson is a dark man, 5 feet 5 inches in height, of medium build and is 45 years old, He has curly hair and a dark mustache. Te will be found wearing a dark suit and a black derby hat. His countenance isnotan c-\llum' though his eye is somewhat furtive. Mr. Sweeney will greet the itor clothed in a suit very similar to that of Mr. Johnson, for such ments are not likely to attract attention. He is 28 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, of slender build and light complexion. He is at present wearing a sandy mustache. MYSTIFYING THE STRANGE These two gentlemen watched the stranger from the count When the sitor left the ry house he was fol- lowed at a respectful distanc by Messrs Johnson and Sweeney, Thi tled the question in the writer’s mind, and he joined the procession. After some del. we reached a hotel on Broadway. Sweeney and Johnson then withdrew., The stranger registered at once and went to his room. Shortly thereafter he received a eall from a gentleman named Brady. Mr. Brady is five feet nine inches tall, with light complexion and sandy mustache, He has a fine physique, ahd weighs about one hundred and eighty pounds.

In this way they walked up Broadway a block, then crossed to the Bowery ~and proceeded down that thoroughfare. While wondering what he should do to save the coun- tryman from his impending fate, your correspondent ran against Mr, T Newcombe,formerly pestoflice inspe and now senior partner of Newcombe & Travers' detective age He had come up a side street in time to see Brady and the innocent go by, and was looking down the street after them with an amused smile. “Here's a grand steal going on,” said he. “Come along, and we'll sec if this gentleman (pointing to Brady) connects with the countryman.” We accordingly followed the They turned into Broome street, and shortly afteawards Brady joined the stranger, and they procéeded u short distance in company, when they again parated. **All this rigmarole,” said Newcombe, “is ~n||l1|\ mumluw and terrify the vie- tim. here’s no need in the world of trailing this man through the street and leaving him shivering on corners.

Everybody knows how the first part of the game is played, e “writer,” as he is called, sends out letters to addresses in commercial '8, or to men he hears of from local crooks. The countryman comes to the eity with all he can ruise, goes to hotel and is met by such aman as Brady, to whom he is induced to surren- der the correspondence. The affair is then in charge of the “hoodler,” a man who holds the mone When the deal is complete the writer usually gets 20 per cent.

He is invariably induced to express the valise to his home, for fear the detectives will arrest him for having counterfeit money It is ncedless to say tlmt the valise which goes by express is not the one that contains the money. There are various wiys of turning the trick. Sometimes the change is made in the ai where the money is shown. A sliding panel is arranged in the wall, and while the countryman’s attention is attracted another way the snbstitu- tion is made. The latest thing is the restaurant trick, The victim gets his money in a bundle which he carries in his hand. Then, accompanied by two or three of the thioves, he goes into a restaurant and sits down at a table. Suddenly one of the crooks whispers: *Look out for the fly cop At the same time pointing to one of the gang, who is rigged up asa detec- tive >ut that money wnder the table, out of sight!” continues the crook: and the innocent does it every time.
