CRIME IN NEW YORK.
Attempted Highway Robbery A M.
ger of a Theatre Knocked Dow la
Broadway.
Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock Mr. Thomas
Maguire, well known a one oi the managers of
the Maeuiie A Hinlcy Japanese Troupe, was
knocked down and an attempt whs made to rob
him, at the corner of Broadway and Eighth
street. It sccm that Mr. Maeuire, who had the
large sum of $30C0 and a very valuable gold
watch upon his person, was on his way to his
residence, No. 211 Henry street, but to accom
modate a friend wns making a detour, and was
going up Broadway with the Intention ot going
through Astor place to Third avenue, and there
taking a car home.
At the corner ot Eighth street and Broadway
Mr. Maguire and his lriend were accosted by
two men who spoke to Mr. Maguire, calling him
byl some common name not his own. The
next moment the man who had spoken pro
fessed to have discovered that he had made a
hub take and begged pardon tor it. He then, as
an additional reparation, aked Mr. Maguire and
lriend to take a drink, which proposition being
accepted, the party turned to poiuio the Sinclair
Houee, a few steps distant. The stranger then
recollected that the place was closed, and re
o nested the party to accompany him to a gam
bline house in the vicinity, where he knew their
wants wonld be supplied. This invitation Ma
guire declined, and was in the act of resuming
his walk when he was knocked down, and the
bame instant lei t a hand attempting to reach his
vest breast-pocket.
Mr. Maeuire put his hand over his breast, and
railed "Watch I" at the top of his voice, and his
lriend grappled with one of the two men who
had accosted them. The cries of Maguire were
heard by Otticer Sidgate, of the Fifteenth Pre
cinct, who started on a run to the scene, and,
on arriving, found Maguire surrounded by citi
zens, and Olllcer Tompkins, of the Fifteenth
Precinct, was in pursuit of one of the men, all
trace of whom, however, was lost at Ninth
utreet. Officer Sidgate arrested he other man,
and on arriving at the Station House the pri
soner gave the name of Francis A. Sullivan, and
paid he was a nntive of Albany, and a carpenter
by occupation.
He denied all knowledge of the attempt to
rob Mr. Maguire, and said the man in whose
company he was when they met Maguire was
unknown to him, and he had never seen him
until he met him a few minutes before in a
Broadway saloon. Mr. Maguire had lost
nothing by his adventure, his money not having
been reached nt all, and his watch, although
jerked from his pocket, was safe.
Yesterday afternoon Sullivan was taken before
Justice Dodee, at the Jeffer.-on Market Police
Court, but Mr. Maguire not being able to make
oath that he bad any agency in the attempted
robbery, was not willing to make a complaint
against nim, ana the prisoner was discharged.

More "Black Crook" Developments.
The magistrate was applied to yesterday by
Samuel Hoiheimer, florist, at No. 021 Broadway,
lor a wurrant. He entered a formal complaint
against James Fleisen, F. A. Sands, and J. S.
Bottom, tnree young men. of fast habits, who
had purchased $192 worth of bouquets of him.
These bouquets were constantly lurntshed by
the complainant, from night to night, tdnce the
1st of June last, and were thrown by the accused
to the several lemale leaders in the Black Crook
ballet troupe. When purcha.-ing these floral
tributes the young men represented themselves
as abundantly able to pay for them. The com
plainant avers, however, that he has since ascer
tained that they never intended to pay for the
flower, and that their representations regard
ing wealih and business connections were all
fake. The magistrate issued the warrant as de
sired, though it is probable thai the case will
never appear acniu. ns a settlement was antici
pated. N. Y. Times.
BLOODY AFFRAY 1N WILLIAMSBURG.
On Man Fatally and Another Severely
Stabbed Kecape of the Homicide.
A bloody affray took place shortly after 8
o'clock last ni;ht at the corner of Division ave
nue and First street, Brooklyn, 10. D., between a
party of workmen employed in the suar
relinery of Winijen, Dick & Co., which resulted
in the death of one of the parties concerned
and the wounding of another. It appears that
Hammond tiroes, Lawrence Aerhardt, and a
man named Weber had a trifling difficulty in the
sugar-house during the afternoon, and when
thev left work last, evenlne they renewed the
ouarrel at the corner of Division avenue and
Firht street. After an angry altercation cries of
"Murder! I am stabbed 1 were near a 10 issue
from the partv. Hammoi-d Gross was seen to
fall in the Btreet, Weber staggered up the street,
and Aerhardt fled.
Ofluer Adamson. of the Forty fifth Precinct,
being in the neighborhood at the time, hurried
tn the scene of the blood v conflict, and removed
Gross, who was then speechless trom loss of
blood, to a laeer beer saloon in the neighbor
hood. A physician was immediately sent for,
but the wounded man was bevond surgical aid.
and expired within an hour. A stab wound was
found in the region of the heart. Deceased was
a married man, and resided at No. 22 McKlbbcn
street. Weber's wound is very severe, but not
necessarily fatal. He was taken to his residence,
which is also in McKlbbcn street.
The alleged perpetrator of thi bloody deed is
a single man of more than ordinary physical
powers. He resides iu New York. It is probable
that he will be arretted promptly, as measures
were immediately taken to that end by Captain
Waelom. The utmost excitement prevailed in
the neighborhood of the tragedy up toalaie
hour last nicht.
flnrnner Smith has directed Dr. Creamer to
hold a post-mortem examination in the case of
Gross ltnis morning, ana an inquest win uu mm
immediately thereafter. All the men engaged
iu the sanguinary atfray are natives of Germany

MRS. LINCOLN AND HER WARDROBE.
A Cnrlone Narrative The Ingratitude of
Republic and Republicans.
From the If. Y. Herald of to-day.
A short time since no man was more popular
In the United States than Abraham Lincoln, to
whom all were willing to pay their homage and
express their friendship to himself in protesta
tions, to his family in costly and magniliccnt
presents. This was in the day of power, when
the keen ecent of the place-hunter told him when
to lawn and crnwl, to slide himself Uy any
means into office, so that the country might re
pay bim for the losses sustained in obtaining it.
Times, however, have changed. Mr. Lincoln is
no more. Patron ace is no iongcr in the hands
of his family, and the vultures have flown away.
Now lor one curious sequel.
AN INCOGNITO ARRIVAL AT A
HOTEL.
On the 19th of September last a lady, calling
herself Mrs. Clarke, accompanied by a colored
temale servant, arrived at the Union Square
Hotel, In this city. Her baegage consisted of
two trunks, on the largest of which the name
"Mrs. Lincoln, Springfield, 111.," was visible,
though an etlort had evidently been made to
erase it, the letters "incoln" being quite plain,
as was also the address. A white vlsitinc card,
tacked on, bore the name of "Mis. Clarke,"
written in pencil. The other trunk had the
name "McCay" indistinctly lettered thereon.
Those gentlemen at the hotel who had known
Mr?. Lincoln when she was the first lady in
Washington, thought this Mrs. Clarke was not
she, although others exoressed the opinion that
she was one and the same person.
She went out but very little during her stay
of exactly a week, and left on the 26th of Sep
tember, promising to give directions py letter
subpcqaently as to the disposal of her trunks.
Although some in the hotel were certain of the
identity ot Mrs. Clarke with Mrs. Lincoln,
others were not, but lrom divers little incidents
which occurred, they surmised that Mrs. Clarke
wbb directly connected with the Lincoln family.
It very soon became (known that the lady was
none other than Mrs. Lincoln, who, after leav
ing the Union hotel, absented herself from the
city, but for a short time, and on her return
took rooms at 'the St Denis hotel, under the
same name as when at the Union.
MRS. LINCOLN'S PECUNIARY DIFFICULTIES.
Mrs. Lincoln's visit, so privately, it was ascer
tained, was made tor the purpose of disposing ot
some of her personal property, as her preseut
income is inadequate to tier wants, she being
possessed of in all but $1700 a year, $300 of
which comes from the rent of her old house In
Sprinefleld, the remainder being the iniorest ot
the $25,000 which Coneress appropriated for her
benefit, in place of $100,000 which her friends
made an effort to obtain, but which the friends
of the dead President succeeded in defeating.
The lady, immediately alter living in such
splendid style, felt embarrassed in endeavoring
to support herself and young ones on so small a
pittance.
She went to live at a second-class hotel in
Chicago, where ultimately she found herself
scarcely able to pay her bills. The result was
her determination to part with some of her per
sonal effects, and it was tor this purpose that,
accompanied by her faithful negro servant
Lizzie, the only one who left the luxuries of the
White House to lollow the fortunes of the
President's widow, she visited New York city,
and verv soon entered Into negotiation with a
well-known broker on Broadway, to whom she J
had previously addressed the letters we puDiishea
yesterday.
TBE BROKER ADVANCES MRU. LINCOLN WONKY.
About four days ago Mrs, Lincoln, her son
Tad, and the negro attendaut, arrived In this
city and put up at the Brandretb House, the
lady entering her name on the books as Mrs.
Morris, sne remaiuett within aoors, going to
no place of amusement or public resort except
ing once, when a gentleman having lent her fats
private carriage, sne ana uer son ana servant
took a drive in tne Fart. At tms time, ner
wants becoming very pressing, she was obliged
to send the following note to her broker:
Bent. 30. 18H7. Mrs. I- will trouble Mr. Iirady to
advance her six hundred dollars, which sue hopes
soon to return.
Mr. Bradv complied with the request and re
ceived the following:
New York, Oct. l, 1887. Received of William H.
Brady six hundred dollars.
SURVEYOR WAKE1IAN AND MRS. LINCOLN.
Gentleman interested in the widow of the late
President called at various titles on some of the
Republican office holders, who were partly
indebted to tDat may lor tneir position, out an
to no purpose. Among others, in compliance
with, me following letter, Mirveyor waKeman
was waited on, and promised two or three times
to accede to Mrs. Lincoln's request Up to the
preseut, it is said, he has not been heard
lrom:
Chicaco. Bent. 14. 18A7.-W. IT. Bradv. Emo.-Mv

would scarcely hesitate to return In a small manner

showered upon him. Mr. Wakeman many times ex-
cued my sympathies In bis ortceht appeals for omci,
as well for himself Mothers. Therefore he will only
be too baiicy to relieve me by purcbasinc one or more
or the articles you win please place beiore mm.
DEPARTURE FROM NEW YORE UNAIDED.
Mrs, Lincoln's appeal to her so-called friends
have been made in vain. The men who gave
her valuable presents in her hour ol success,
merely lor the estimation in which they held
her husband, now, in her hour of trial, reluse to
relieve her from comparative want. The ooor
lady by this time has discovered the amount of
honor, honesty, or disinterested oess to be found
in the place-hunter's heart, and It must have
been with disappointment and distrust that she
took her departure yesterday morning trom
city in which reside men of wealth, who have
derived tneir ricnes lrom ner nuDand's bands
and through the instrumentality and influouc
ot herself.
DESCRIPTION OF TUB ARTICLES FOR BALE.
As one enters the room where these articles
are exhibited, the first that attracts the eye are
five elegant camel s hair shawls banging care
lessly on the back of a chair. They are of the
finest texture, and were considered the most ex
Dcnsive in the market at the time ot their pur
chase, the largest costing $1000 in gold, and the
others lrom f iia to Zouu eacu. two white ram
lev shawls lie on the lounge. They are of re
markable fineness and delicate finish, and are
valued at $300 each. On the showcase lies an
exquisite and magnificent white point lace
shawl wtneu cost iiuuu, and near by are nve or
the same, averaging from $200 to $101) each.

It la very larue, and cost $4500 In gold, and is
accompanied by a sable boa valued accordingly,
Thrown upon the furs Is a point lase baud Iter

scribe the various trinkets and other articles
offered for sale, the value of the whole of which
is estimated at close on $30,000 In gold.
Such is the wardrobe and personal parapher
nalia of one who but lately occupied so Impor
tant a position in society the wife of a man
wnose name was known throughout the civilized
world, and whose untimely death called forth
the sympathy of almost all mankind.
In Tbx Evening Telegraph of yesterday we
published the correspondence between Mr.
Lincoln and Mr. Brady in full. The above
covers all the additional particulars, collected
by a corps ol Jenkinses, iupon the subject. It
will be remembered that Mrs. Lincoln denounces
only Raymond, Seward, Weed, and Wakeman as
ungrateful Republicans. As these men have all
lelt that party, our radical friends may rest
easy under the anathemas of Mr. Lincoln.
She says, moreover, that she still loves the
Republican party. We do not wish to
srieak about this sad and disgraceful affair
at lcDgth, but as leading Democrats have
made this exposure for party capital, we
feci it a duty to notice it thns far. We happen
to know that oilers of assistance have been
made to Mrs. Lincoln since her return from
Europe Iby prominent Republicans, in a quiet
and appropriate way. These tender she has
refused most ungraciously. She is said
to be incited to her present course by
certain members of the Todd family, who are
her relatives. That Mrs. Lincoln is not treating
the Inends of her late husband justly may be
seen in the fact that nearly all the articles
offered for sale were presented to her by ad
mirers and partisans of the lamented Lincoln,
ber husband, as tokens ot their love and respect
forhioi. Ed. Evening Telegraph. 1

THE ENLISTMENT QUESTION.

regularly enlisted lutothe survlceof the United states,
and was regularly sworu on Much enlistment, would
appear to nave ueen intenaea to raise me legal fines
tlou of regularity and not the question of the iden
tity ol the peiilioner. lint the testimony ha beeu
andreised to the question of identity.
The recruit was enlisted iu I'hiladelphia. on the 1st
of April last and deserted ou April U. and the peti
tioner was arrested on August 2o; and on cuurges
being pre'erred agaumt linn was sent to uovernor a
Island lor trial, and is now brought up on this habeas
corpus, the point oeing niue mm iw it nut win tmuo
individual who was enlisted. Thougn the traverse
dum not seni to raise this question . yet, aa the testi
mony Is, It is lair lo (lie puriieR to uispose or it upon
Us merits. 1 have examlnud carelully the testimony ,
which was mainly taken beloro Commissioner
Osborne, and the only evidence produced by the pe
titioner is bla own deoosltlon. His laiiKUae Is very
guarded ou this question, whether he did enlist, in
the enlistment papers the recruit swore that be was 21
yeats of age.
1 ue petitioner swears tutiL ue ii uuw 17. nuu una
mother living, his father being dead, and that he has
been living with his mother in Philadelphia antil he
was wrested there on August 20. It Is, therefore, to
be noticed that the petitioner admits that ue lived in
Philadelphia at the time ol this enlistment. There is
nothing In the case to show an alild. The question ot
bis enlistment was put to him, and be suys that he
does not recollect going to the ofliue, and does not re
collect signing tills paper, and does not recollect
inking the oath. The enlistment patient were
shown to him. and he said be could not read
them, but be denied that either or the signatures
wan his. He was asked it be recognised Colonel
l'aik, whose name is three times signed to the papers,
and he said he did not. He was then asked it be
whs not ei listed before Colonel Park, and hla an
swer s, "not that I know ot." On the other aide
Colonel Park was sworn lor the Government, and
on looking at the petitioner he said that lie recognized
lilm; tirst saw him at tbe Burgeon's office; saw him
tlieie on April 1; that he saw the papers and swore
to them beiore the witness: that Hamilton remained
In bis charge till April 6. when be deserted. Then the
medical paper was produced, and Colonel Park testi
fied that be was present at tbe examination, and that
as lar as be could Judge, tbe recruit was perfectly
Hobtr. Colonel Para'e lentimony Is very direct and
clear. He recognize Hamilton aa tbe party who
wore to and signed the enlistment papers. Still, if
the case norped here It might be claimed that It was
but one oath against another. But In addition to that
there Is the correspondence of the petioner's personal
appearance with the description In the eullatment
papers.
He Is described In them as having brown eyes, dark
hair, and florid complexion, and being five feet seven
inches In height. He has brown eyes, dark hair, and
llorld complexion, and on measurement he appuars
to be Ave feet seven and one-quarter Inches in height,
a very slight discrepancy. Another circumstance Is
bis bardwrltlng. There Is a peculiarity In it which
can hardly be the result of accident. Tbe recruit
signed bis name on enlistment In two places, and
alter the word "William" there Is a period. That same
period Is found In tbe same position In tbe signature
ot the petitioner to his petition and to tne traverse. In
tbe latter be baa written out bis uiidolename In lull
William lwls Hamilton and has pat a period after
the word;tewls also, snowing that that was a haul t
ot his, which la quite peculiar, and la a strong cir
cumstance to sLow that the signatures are made by
tbe same person. Moreover, the general correspond
ence of the signatures is anch that there is no room
to doubt that they were so made. In view of the
positive evidenced Colonel Park, tbe correspondence
of the signatures, and the doubtful character ot the
petitioner's testimony, I should have no reasonable
doubt that the petitioner Is the party who slgued tbe
enlistment papers. Moreover, In the medical paper
the burgeon slates tiiitl the recruit has a crucifixion
stamped on his left arm, and t lie petitioner admits
that he has a crucltixiou on bis left arm, with a Virgin
Mary on each side, wince the petitioner was tbe one
who signed the enlistment papers. In which be swore
that be was twentv-one years of age, he was regularly
enlisted, and be must therefore be remanded.
After the rendering: of the decision Lieutenant
Gardner staled to the Court that bis attention bad
been called to a remark made by the District Attor
ney the duy before, charging him with f'auil, and he
wished to eay that be had not perpetrated any fntud,
but bad only appeared In Court for a gallant olllcer,
being himself an olllcer, and that If it bad not been
for the consent or conulvaucs of the authorities of
Philadelphia, that nllloer would not have beeu re
leased from the custody In which he was held.

Tbe telegraph announces the death at t.
Louis yesterday of Hon. Thomas E. ell. mem
ber ot Congress from the Third District of Mis
souri. The deceased was born In Perry ville.
Missouri, April 3, 1839. He received a good
English education, and when nineteen years ol
age be was admitted to the bar, and practised
law until 1861, when be was appointed a Mili
tary Commissioner for the arrest of disloyal
persons. Subsequently he went into the ranks
of the State militia, and obtained the rank of
major, which he held until 1862. In that year
he was appointed a captain in the 19th regi
ment ot regular United States Infantry. In
1804 ho was elected by the Democracy a repre
sentative to the Thirty-ninth Congress from the
Tblrd District of Missouri, serving on the Com
mittees on Private Lund Claims, the Militia, and

A Picthbk Stoles. A short time since some
consternation was excited among the officials
of the Uffizi Gallery, Florence, by the discovery
that one of the pictures of the Flemish school
had been torn away from its place about ten
minutes before the usual time of closing the
culprit having got clear off with his booty.
Prompt measures were taken; a copy of the
picture was photographed immediately, and
the photographs placed in the hands of the
police. Two days afterwards the picture was
discovered exposed at one of those small shops
for the sale of such objects whioh abound, in
Florence. The dealer averred that he had
bought it for two francs of a man. who said
that he had given fifty centimes for it. The
picture, which is one of the best works of Van
Mieris in the gallery, although the size is only
about nine inches by seven, has been replaced,
and search U being diligently made for the
abstractor. The real value of the work cannot
be much less than 700 or 800 sterling.

The Mil. Lincoln Scandal What !
Thought of it In Waehlogivn.
Waphinoton. October 4. The disclosures
concerning Mrs. Lincoln's alleged destitution
and her efforts to sell portion of her wardrobet
excite much comment bore, but do not surprise
people, as ber extravagant habits while at the
White House were matters of common notoriety;
but how she has managed to squander tbe -twenty-five
thousand dollars voted her by Con
Breta In less than two years Is a mystery to
many, who cannot credit the statement. The
interest alone of this sum, if properly invested
would have been sufficient to have supported
htr comfortably during her lifetime. It It
known that Mr. Lincoln left nearly fifty thou
sand dollars to her at his death, and the sale ot
his property In Illinois alter death brought a
considerable sum of moncr.

The Pacific Railroad Difficulty.
Special to Thr Kvr.NiNS Telrobapu by Hasaon's
Independent JNew Agency.J
New York, October 4. The Pacific Railroad
stockholders are still in sosslon at their palatial
otlice, on Nassau street. It was yesterday stated
that the fend had subsided, and that a compro
mise would be effected. A vote upon the new
board was confidentially expected this morn
ing, but up to IP. M. it had uou taken place.
Two new hoards have been a Iron ly eleoied, but
injunctions have been served upon each of
them, so that the old Hoard of Directors still
hold ont. Tne stockh olders prnoltiitn tht. har
mony exists, and that a board will be elected

Murderer Arrested.
New York, Oct. 4. Lawrence Aerhardt, who
killed Hammond Gross last evening in Wll
HamsDurg, during an atlVay, has been arrested.
Congressman Washburn on Impeach
ment. From the Chicago Tribune, Oct. 1.
We had tbe pleasure of a call yesterday from
the Hon. E. B. Wasubume, who lately returned
from Europe, where he had spent some six
months tor the improvement ot his health. He
appears quite recovered from his illness, and
looks halo aud heurty. He bns spent a fortnight
since his return in New England aud New York,
and a few days in Washington, and he expresses
the opinion, founded upon the indications of
public sentiment, which he has everywhere en
countered, that the House of Repiesentatlves
will certainly frame articles ot impeachment
against Andrew Johnson, and, vigorously prose
cute them beiore the Senate.
He regards the course which the President is
pursuing hs little loss than insane, and expresses
his astonishment at the reckless manner in
which he insults and denes the law-making
power, and disregards the manifest wishes of
the loyal masses on the subject of reconstruc
tion. He esteems it fortunate for the country
that General Grant accepted the portfolio of
Secretary of War ad interim, for bad he refusod,
and some Copperheud like Meedman been ap-
Eointed, there is no telling what mischief might
ave been done before tbe reassembling of Con
gress. Mr. Washburne Is pained and chagrined at the
fire in the rear upon General Grant by proteased
Republican papers, and hardly knows to what
to ascribe it; but declares that no better or
firmer friend of the Congressional policy of re
construction lives than General Grant, as his
every act and word proves. The country, he
says, may rely implicitly upon the General doing
bis duty faithfully and ably in reconstructing
the Rebels as he did in conquering them. Aa
he employed his sword In war In behalf of Union
and Liberty, he will exercise bis official powers
in peace to secure civil war and political rights
for all men, Irrespective of color or condition.

Vallandlgham'e Political Hopes.
In a speech made at Columbus on Monday
night, Vallandigham thus specified tbe antici-
fated joys of the Democracy and of himself:
ie predicted the speedy overthrow ot the party
now In power, a prediction which was greatly
applauded. "In a short time we shall regain
the places of power, not for the love of oilice.
not lor plunder, not to steal trom the people
(Applause.) We shall regain the seats of power,
this grand old Democratic party (cheers)' aud
I say to these loyal gentlemen that the
places which now 'know you shall know
vou no more forever. (Cheers.) We
shall reconstruct the Union, and restore
that proud flag which, God forgive me
I have bowed down to in blind adoration In mv
youthful days, and wept before it in tearful de
votion. We are going back to Washington, and
I shall see him (turning to Mr. Voorhees) there
as I saw him in his grandest eloquence on the
Conscription bill, and Pendleton with all his
thunderind oratory, and Seymour, and Georee
W. Morgan, and -yes, and I shill be there; ves!
and may be I'll be Secretary of War. Would it
eo hard with the Republicans I I wonder if Mr
Seward's little bell would be as potent as for
m 'hi.1 8houldmltn"le it? (Cheers.) Yes.
we'll be there; we'll reconstruct the republic
