He Falls In With a Handsointj Dame and Gtg Lectured In Court as a Sucker. ft The trial of Gus Goldback and Frank Thomas, charged with stealing $450 from Sarah Freeman, alias Lotta Richmond, the variety actress, was concluded in Indianapolis by the discharge of the defendants. Goldback is the gilded youth from Fensacola Florida, who followed the Richmond woman North In April last, and who afterwards was arrested In Chicago, together with Thomas, for the alleged theft as above. Gdldback, claimed that he orlglnully hadfTOO, all of which, with the exception of $330, he squandered on the woman, and this amount he Intrusted to her for Thomas Is her brother-in-law. Discovering that Lotta was trying to throw hlni, Goldback resorted to a ruse to recover his $350.

Thomas aided him, and together they, fled to Chicago. This morning the court remarked that the case was a repetition of the story of "The Sucker and the Siren," and while Goldback ought to go to the Insane asylum for being the "sucker" there was nothing warranting his committal to tbe penitentiary. The woman's testimony concerning her own life was decidedly queer. She is still young and attractive. According to her story, she was the wife of John Larue for eight months; Henry Farkner for two years; James Claibourne, eight months; David Robertson, five years, and Joseph Cook, two years, and she admitted that she had lived with William P.

Leal of Grand Rapids seven months, and with several other men. Goldback's experience with her is in the nature startling. He is a youngster, not yet 20, and when he went dazed on her he was the owner of considerable personal property, all of which he converted into cash. What remains is the $350, for which she has filed attachment proceedings, and she has also attached his trunks, clothing and a $150 watch, and if he has anything left jt vet attached she doesn't know it. Besides this he has spent several weeks in jail nnd he will have to wait till Setptember before the riehts of property are determined.

During the trial Thomas testified that Lot" ta, who is his siHter-in-law, offered him $100 to help "down" Goldback for that remaining and that he refused the proposition. Goldback and he never met prior to April last. Adders In France. i Foreign Letter. At one time adders were in great demand, in France for certain medicinal preparations.

Knox carried a four-chambered Smith Wesson revolver, carrying a large ball Sheahan had what Mr.

Chase described as a big pistol, something like a British bull dog. They said they were ready and the word to fire was given. Each man pulled the trigger and the bullets whistled harmlessly through the air. At that Knox said he was satisfied. He hid demanded an apology or a fight from Sheahan.

Sheahan wouldn't apologize, but he had shown he would fight and Mr. Knox was satisfied. Not so with Mr. Sheahan, he suddenly be came very obstinate. He swore he had come out there to fight and he was going to fight; so tne word was given again.

This time Mr. Knox's ball again went wide of Mr. Shea-han's, but Mr. Sheahan'g ball penetrated the fleshy part of Mr. Knox's left arm near the shoulder.

A MOMENT OF SUSPENSE. A Girl Tries to Throw Herself from a hi story Building.

Mrs. Staver and her two daughters, both grown, and one an invalid, occupy an upper suite of apartments in the six-story flat house, No. 121 West Eleventh street, New York. Early this morning the mother and daughters were in their rooms awaiting the arrival of some friends who were to take the invalid girl to a hospital for treatment. Sud denly the girl got up from her chair, and, saying: "Mamma, dear, I cannot stay in this room, it is so close let me go for a little air," ran lightly up the stairs and disap peared through the attic door.

The younger sister followed her sometime after, ap parently not fearing any danger. As she reached the roof she was horrified to see the girl sitting on the coping. She called her mother, and as the latter reached the roof. the girl, bending down and catching hold oJ tne cornice swung herself over. The pave1.

yard was six stories below. The mother with a shriek, rushed forward and caught the girl by the arm just as she was relaxing her grasp on the cornice. The daughter struggled violently. "Let me go," she cried, again and again. I want to die want to die 1 The mother, with a strength that seemed supernatural, still held the girl, although her whole weight' now depended upon the mother's grasp.

But the sister came to her assistance and both called hys terically for aid. Their cries "save her! help! help!" rang through all the. neighborhood. Some children in the yard below shrieked, then came to the windows, and, after a brief look, rushed for the stairs and to the street, Everybody shouted for help. A lady In the apartment below, with a gentleman beside her, leaned far out tho window directly un der the struggling girl.

But she could barely reach her. She could secure a slight hold upon one of Miss Staver's ankles, and this hold she kept at great personal danger, somewhat checking the hapless girl's efforts to get free from her mother's grasp. It was evident to the shuddering spectators that in a moment the strength of the women above must give out that the crazed girl would plunge down to death, carrying with her her weight the lady below her andperhaps the mother and sister. In this supreme mo ment of suspense, above the cries of mother and daughter and on-lookers, the girl shrieked loudly: "Let mo drop; it will be better for me; I want to go. Then ayoung girl rushed on the roof and gave her feeble aid to the two ladies, and then a head and shoulders appeared through the trap-door, and the first of the rescuers swung himself on the roof.

There was a glad shout and then profound silence, except for the cries of the maniac. In an Instant he was at the edge of the roof, and, leaning far over, had his arms about the girl 's shoulders A second stalwart man came to his assistance. The mother and sister fell back fainting. The two men slowly drew the still struggling girl over the parapet and to safety. It appears that the girl's mother had determined to send her to a charity hospital on acoount of melancholy which was fast devel-onlnor violent insanity, and the cirl.

rather than become separated from her family, determined upon suicide. His Career Ended. In Dodge City, Kansas, a party of five cow-boys well under the influence of liquor, mounted their horses to leave town, and when near the Dalree house one of theni rode his horse on the porch and fired off his six shooter.

The city marshal and his assistant quickly arrived, and sent a few shots afterhem and when about three hundred yards off one of tbem fell from his horse.

AJ Number oi Reasons Assigned for the Catastrophe Forty Bodies Recovered from the Water Many Persons Bruised and Wounded The Vessel Now at the Bottom of the Clyde. Intelligence has reached us of a terrible calamity during the launch of the steamship Daphne at Glasgow, Scotland.

While being launched she fell over on her side, preclpl tating a number of people into the water According to the dispatches thus far received CO persons were drowned. A later dispatch from Glasgow says the Daphne capsized near Renfrew, five miles from Glasgow. Traffic In the Clyde is suspended owing to the Interruption to navigation by the capsiz ed steamer. The Daphne was going at a very fast rate, and when she gained the water she rolled from side to side. Persons on board fearing she would capsize ran to and fro.

The vessel finally reeled over and nearly disappeared beneath the water. Those who had maintained positions on the portion of the steamer not submerged did their utmost to save those who were cast overboard. At the same time the boats pulled to assist In the work of rescuing the unfortunate people and succeeded in saving quite a number. It is known, however, there were 50 persons belew in the Daphne when the vessel went over, and they must all have been drowned. Crowds of grief-stricken relatives of the victims are flocking to the scene of the ca lamity.

Another dispatch says the cause of her capsizing was she had too much top weight. Steameis are dragging the water for. the bodies of the victims. Several of the people who were taken from the water alive were so exhausted that it was necessary to remove them to an infirmary. The steamer Is now under water with the fifty bodies before mentioned on board of her.

The Daphne had all her machinery on board when she was launched. A later dispatch from Glasgow says many of the persons who were precipitated into the water swam to the shore. The Daphne turned upside down before she sank. An eye-witness saw a great number of men struggling in the water and shrieking for help Many were bruised and covered with blood, having been struck by debris. Accounts of the number of persons on board and the number lost continue to vary widely.

Several bodies were found at the foot of the ways. Divers are searching for other bodies. Fifty-two names are published -as those of missing persons. As visiters were admitted to view the launch, It is believed some of them whose names are unknown, are amonj. the missing.

Many dead bodies are visible through the port-holes of the ship. There was a rapid ebb tide and it is feared many bodies were carried to sea. There was a large number of boys on board. The foreman joiner, who had charge of 20 workmen, says he has seen only three of his men since the accident. Passage by the sunken ship is unimpeded for small vessels, but dangerous for large Atlantic steamers.

A number of men at a ship yard on the opposite side of the river, who witnessed the disaster but were unable to render any assistance at the time, say the whole affair occupied about three minutes. They immediately set to work to help the people struggling In the water. They say some of the men on the Daphne jumped overboard and others were thrown overboard; that a quantity of loose fittings fell from the deck and crushed many unfortunates struggling in the water. A number of swimmers were visible directly after the ship capsized, but many of them were afterwards seen to sink. Six men were seen clinging together; four endeavored to climb upon the steamer as she was sinking, but were forced to desist Dy tne rusn oi sieam rrom a port-hole.

Some climbed upon the keel Just Wore the Bhip was submerged. According to statements of witnesses and survivors of the disaster the vessel left the slip too rapidly, causing her stern, which entered first, to sink deeply in the water. She was then caught by the strong current of the river by which, as well as by her top weight, she was caused to keel over so far that the water entered her port. The last report from the scene ot the disaster states that seven bodies had been identified. A diver states that the companion-way of the Daphne is blocked Up by a solid mass of bodies one upon another It appears that the men who were at work below when the ship went over rushed from their work and became jammed in the passage-way.

Some bodies still have tools in their hands. The diver thinks there are in the vessel at least as many corpses as have already been recovered. Forty-one bodies had been found when darkness stopped the search, Divers say they felt many more bodies The bodies of 88 victims of the-disaster have been identified. SnOT IN THE SHOULDER. i J.

Post-Dispatch Special. Mary Marsh, also known as' 'Aunt Mary" and 'Aunty Peanuts, eighty-six years old and reputed to be a wealthy miser, was discovered Sunday morning on the verge of starvation in her attic room in the rear of No. 100 North Fourth street, Brooklyn. She had locked herself in the apartment about six days ago, and the other tenants, thinking that she was dead, yesterday burst open the door. They found her reduced to a skeleton, lying stark naked on the floor, and barely able to moan, A policeman was sent to the bouse, He raised up the woman, who was literally covered with vermin, and put her in a bed Then he left her in charge of the other tenants, saying that he would notify the charity commissioners and call again.

Up to 8 p. m. however, neither he nor any of the commissioners had appeared. The front building at No. 106 North Fourth street is occupied by a livery-stable.

The rear is known as "bull's alley," and is probably the most miserable poverty-stricken spot in all Brooklyn. A swinging door admits one to the alley, a narrow, dirt-begrimed passage paved with cobble-stones. The alley leads Into a yard, and facing the latter are two white-washed frame shanties. Mary Marsh lives in one of them. When a reporter opened the door of Mary Marsh's room, a sickening, stupefying odor issued from it that for a moment made him stagger.

The room Is about eight by ten feet in extent, and opens into another, smaller in size. Except the bed and stove, there was not an article of furniture In either room. They were crammed with the most heter ogeneous mass of articles ever seen In a junk shop. There were old and broken pots and pans, a dozen empty tomato cans, soap boxes, empty bottles, pieces of iron pipe and bundles of rags of all sorts. All these ar tides were strewn about both rooms in confusion, and on all of them the dirt rested an inch thick.

The bed-stead is of painted pine-wood, and worn with age. On It was a mass of filthy rags which supplied the place of bedding. A snow-white object stood out from its dark colored surroundings. At first it was motionless and it was only when it moved and MOANS ISSUED FROM IT that the reporter realized that it was a hu man face and head. Imagine the skull of an aged with a transparent skin, with' out the least particle of flesh, drawn tightly across it, with every bone of the skull pro truding and the eyes staring wildly from out the depths of their sockets.

Picture this animated" skull with a head of hair as white as snow, and one will in some measure be able to realize the face and features of Mary Marsh. As she became aware that there were visitors in the room, she raised the torn and tattered coverlet with her right arm and hand, which were as thin almost as those of a babe, and revealed the upper portion of her body, which was entirely nude, and which was that of a veritable skeleton. She was in full possession of her senses, though able to utter only disconnected words. In answer to the question how she came to be in that condition, one of the women present said it was the belief of everybody in the house that "Aunt Mary" had DELIBERATELY STARVED HERSELF, because she was too miserly to satisfy-the cravings of hunger. She had lived for years in the vicinity, and was a well-known character.

The boys, when plaguing her in the street, called her "Aunty Peanuts." It was not known whether she was married or had any children. They had heard she had two nephews. She did nothing for a living, but for years had been accumulating all the rubbish in the room, never selling anything, and never permitting anything to be removed. She always had money wHen she wanted any. In the severest winter weather she bad begrudged herself a fire.

She never cooked a meal in her room, butSvould buy some cabbage or a few potatoes, and cook them at a fire in tho room of one of the other tenants, and beg the grease and drippings from them, with which she would make some soup. She was never known to buy any meat. She would occasionally send one of the children In the alley for some bread, and when they returned would charge them with having bought a smaller loaf and cheated her out of. a few pennies. Thenshe WOULD FLY IN A RAGE, and beat them.

This she did so often that the children had fairly refused to go on any errands for her. She would not permit any of her neighbors to go Into her room if she could help it. She charged them with want-ins to rob her. and locked hnrself In her room day and night. It was in that way she came to be in her present plight.

She had as usual locked herself in and denied herself food so long that she was too weak to leave. The neighbors heard her moan, but did not pay any etteution to it, as she had a habit of doing that almost and was very angry when she had been disturbed on previous occasions. When the door was finally broken open the neighbors gave her some cabbage and potatoes which she ate voraciously. The reporter then went to the 6th precinct and related what he had seen to the ser geant who was in charge of the desk, and asked why the woman nad not been removed to the hospital or an asylum; The sergeant answered that he bad sent word to the police headquarters, and they bad notified the commissioners. That was all he bad to do in the matter, "Cannot the woman be taken to-night to the hospital in South Third street, which is only a few blocks off?" asked the reporter, i 4 5 No, she csnnot be removed until to-1 morrow," replied the Sundav.
