Thought High Plateau Up the State the Garden Spot of the World, and Spent a Fortune to Make It Bet- ter Known, \ —————s he Hon. Patrick Francis Sheedy stde- wteps an argument with District-Attor- wey Jerome, who sald things a day or two ago about Mr, Sheedy which were quite as intentionally rude as anything Ho has recently remarked about Mr. Sheedy's frend Canficld. He went further, in fact, and intimated that It would be interesting to gather the opinions on hydrate of chloral of the party of gentlemen who played poker with Mr. Sheedy on his latest trip ‘broad. To all this Mr. Sheedy, with the fuavity of a diplomat, replies: “I did notice the other day that the Disirict-Attorney honored me with a few Parables. My compliments to him and Way that I have none to hand back. Never yet have I got Into a controversy mith the District-Attorney of this or fny other county, and I am too old to begin now. I see no reason why I should engage in such controversy. If I won T'd lose, and where would your Une! Patrick come in on a game like that? “I've been a gambler most of my life, and I don't know of anything of espe- lal valuo that I've got to show for all the hard work I've done and ali the sleep I've missed. If I had you can Iay all you've got that I wouldn't be in the business. Tho man who has been able to lay by any considerable sum of Money, enough, for instance, to live on his income, and still stick to the busi- hess of an outlaw is—well, his head is berewed on wrong. “More than all that, I've got consid- frable rspect for this man Jerome.

Akin, million- alre and philanthropist, out of his wish ‘to celebrate his hundredth birthday. He died at midnight at his residence, No. 4 West Fifty-sixth street. He had al- ready begun to make preparations for the celebration of his centenary on Aug. 14. His physicians eay that his interest in the event had given him the will- power to resist the inroads of disease. As a fact, Mr. Akin's will had kept him alive for years. He was subject to many infirmities, and all his long life he had never enjoyed robust health. Mr. Akin was the eon of a prominent jurist, but he did not follow the Idw. He entered a dry-goods house, but, fall- ing a victim to nervous dyspepsia, ne gave up meroantile business and re- turned to his home et Quaker Hill and ‘became a farmer. He invested in vari- ous emall railroad enterprises, which later consolidated with the New York Central. In this way Mr, Akin became @ heavy stockhaMer and an associate of the Vanderbilts.

As he came up “T was going to steal whatever I could put my hands on," sald a thief arrested In Jersey City last night after a desper- ate struggle with two men. He was locked up in the Seventh street station. He gave his name as Robert Haw- thorne; sald he was thirty-elght years old, and lived at No. 139 Market street, Philadelphia. ‘When about to retire last night Arthur Betg, son of the late millionaire brow: John Betz, heard a noise in the rear of his handsome home, No. 48 Eighth street. It sounded like some one trying to get into one of the rear parlor wi dows, Mr. Betz was in his pajgmas. His room is on the floor above the parlor. Taking a police whistle from a cabinet in his room Mr. Betz started downstairs. He made his way to the back parlor door, opened {t nolselessly and stepped inside. Just as he closed the door a man came through one of the windows. The in- ‘truder was about to welgh up the situ- ation, when Mr. Betts cred “Hands up! or I'l! shoot," @fhe thiet made a dash for the open “window.
