Not since that sorrowful night when
Iscarot botrayed bis Master with a kiss In
the Garden ot Qethsemene, has a more
damning tale of treachery been told than
that rehearsed In the Court of Oyer and
Terminer last woek during tho trial of
Sheriff James A. Flack lor conspiracy,
Beside him, arid indicted for the same,
was nls son will riack, wuose ucacuery
and betrayal of his poor old motller, who
trusted him, finds a parallel In Iscarlot, the
betrayer of his Say lour, alono..Tbo wholo
story reads more like one of Zola's evil
noyels than a chapter of New York every
day life. Many years ago a young man
came from tho country with his girl wife
and opened a small bookblndcry In this
city where he worked early and lato till ho
built up a paying business. lie was frugal,
but lived well in a modest style. After a
time his bindery became a resort of tho
local ward polltlcans, and tho young book
binder began to forsake his home evenings,
and might be found in the corner saloons
talking politics with the ward politicians.
It was not long before ho was a candidate
forofllce, and one of the formost men of
his ward. Ue soon found hs way Into
Tammany Hall, and lots of city work was
thrown Into his bindery by his political
friends, and James A. Flack was fast get
ting to be a rich man. This was In the
time of the Tweed ring, when bills against
the city were not unduly scrutinlztd and
political characters needed no Indorsement.
Tweed was deposed, and'Flack became
right bower of John Kelly, his successor:
he got to bo one of the chief sachems of
Tammany with the best jobs and offices in
the city within bis reach. As he grew rich
and powerfnl, the old wife who was the
companion of his early days was not stylish
enough for him. So eighteen years ago he
took from his bindery a handsome young
girl named Sarah Cherry and installed her
in appartments as bis mistress. With her
for eighteen years be was known at yarious
hotels and boarding-houses as James A.
Raymond. A son was born to them, and
Sarah Cherry, who seems to have quite a
religious turn, insisted on haying him
baptized. Mr, Flack Raymond thought
that the rites of the church ought not to
be neglected, so he carried the baby to the
Little Church Aronnd the Corner, and
there It was duly baptized Edward Ray
mond. Flack himself under the name of
Raymond acknowledged the paternity of
the boy, How he could have carried on
this dual life as publicly as he did for
eighteen years Is a mystery that will never
be solved. During that time he occupied
various public stations and received from
the Democratic party two of the highest
offices in Its gift, those of county clerk and
sheriff, and either is worth at least one
hundred thousand dollars a year. Where
were his lynx eyed political enemies all
this time? No one can tell, for no one
appears to have suspected him. He still
kept a nominal home with his first wife
uptown, but he came and went whenever
It suited him, and passed his old wife.,, by
without the slightest notice.
For months he never spoke to her, his
only communication was through his son
Will, their only child, and on him the old
mother leaned, tor he was the only friend
she had in the world now that she was
deserted by his father, so she trusted him
from her Inmost heart.
IKhlle Sarah Cherry went dressed In
silks and diamonds, Mrs. Flack .had the
bare necessaries of life, and was driven to
sleep In a small hall bedroom while her
husband and her son took possession of
the best portion of thelhouse. At last the
demands of his paramour became impera
tive; she would no longer llye as his mis
tress; she wanted to be his wife in name as
well as In fact; she was tired of mas
querading as Mrs. Raymond, sho wanted
to be Mrs. Flack. This could only bs
effected In two ways by divorce ormurder;
murder was dangerous, and Mrs. Flack did
not want a divorce, for sho was determined
that Sarah Cherry, the creature who had
ruined her home, should never be Mrs.
Flack as long as she was alive. But when
Flack became Sheriff he was very near to
the Judges and high officers of the Court,
and ho soon had them subservient tools
for tho working out of his accursed plot.
Flack told bis wife at last that they must
separate, and the poor woman said "I sup
pose so." He said, Hill can prepare the
papers. Will did prepare the papers.
Will Is now a man, nearly forty years old,
and his trusting mother left everything to
him. The papers were drawn up by Flack's
lawyer, one Monell, and instead of a
separation were an application for absolute
dlvorce.the respondent being Sarah Cherry.
Will Flack told his mother that this was a
separation giving her the houso she lived
In and twenty-flve dollars a week for the
remainder of her life. This same Monell
appeared In Court as tho lawyer for Mrs.
Flack demanding the divorce. Judgo
Bookstaver, the friend of Flack, was ready
to do 'most anything to oblige the sheriff,
but to have one lawyer appear on both
sides ot the case was more than be could
swallow, so he advised the substitution of
another name .which was accordingly done,
and a creature of Flack's by the name of
Meeks was appointed referee. Everything
was now all right, and the conspirators got
the divorce on tho application of Mrs.
Flack. H'hen Mrs, Flack found out what
had been done she nearly lost ber reason,
but Flack and his son did not care for that.
The decree of divorce forbad Mr. Flack to
marry again, but that only applied to New
York.- Ho could eo to New Jersey or
Connecticut and marry Sarah Cherry the
next day and no New York Court could
touch him. But the plot was discovered
In the nick of time, and Nemlsls was on
the track of the conspirators. An old
rascal by the name of Jaryls who assisted
in the conspiracy was driven from public
life. It was he who years before had looted
the fortune of the rich Tarsee merchant
who was adjudged a lunatic by the Courts.
Lawyer Monell died of a broken heart; tho
tool Meeks Is under Indictment jrltb Flack.
Judge Bookstaver, who granted divorce,
hangs suspended like JMahoruet's coffin
between heaven and earth, hardly knowing
what Is In store for him. Flack has been
kicked out ot Tammany nail where a

poor.God help them; they had the meanest J cannon, who Is well-known In this county,
of prison fare, and were locked up at sun
down In cells swarming with ycrmln, so
that their lives wero a constant torture.
A sheet or paper and an envelope cost
twenty-five cents, and It cost twenty-flve
cents moro to post tho letter. The Eng
lish bank forgers spent there during a
sojourn of about five months nearly twenty
thousand dollars of their stolen money.
Such a system of shamoless robbery as was
carried on In this vile prison almost ex
ceeds belief. The papers attacked the
abases from time to time, but to no pur
pose. Reforms wero proclaimed, but they
amounted to nothing, except that the
public sale of tho prison was stopped, and
the Sheriff took his share of the plunder
direct, leaving his deputies to squeeze the
wretched prisoners and make all they
could. This week the keeper of the jail
was Indicted for malfeasanco In his office
and two hours after the writ was served on
him he resigned.
Mayor Grant Is under fire from a
legislative committee, who aro looking in
to his past record, and he acknowledges
that during his last year as Sheriff, that In
tho way of pkesents his Special Deputy
had received twelve thousand dollars, of
which .he bad taken six thousand dollars
as his share of tho loot. Where there are
forty millions a year to pay out their must
be some rich pickings; happy the fellow
that gets on the Inside of tho crib If he is
able to keep outside of a prison.
The week before last, before a meeting
held here, attention was called to tho con
dition of poor, old, decayed iethodlst
ministers, and the statement was made
that there were many ministers too old and
Infirm to contribute anything to their own
support, who wero receiving eighty, a
hundred, and a hundred and fifty dollais a
year. Looking at this pitiful statement
with the eye of a lay sinner, It occurred to
me. that perhaps It might be as well to do
without a steeple on the church; or to do
without those beautiful stained glass
windows or oven to let those savages on the
Congo go a little longer without gospel
privileges for the sake of helping these
humble and suffering ministers of Christ.
It may be awful wicked from a' missionary
standpoint; but I would sooner help them
than all tho black savages you could catch
between the Indian ocean and the Moun
tain of the Moon.
I have often told you that wo must have

The Philadelphia Press says In Its Issue
of .March 13, at the close of an editorial on
the forthcoming tariff bill: "There are a
few points in this bill the Prets feels shoul 1
be announced authoritatively. First, the
Republican members are absolutely agreed.
Second, tho result of the agreement In the
shape of a bill will be reported within two
or three weeks to the House, and third,
after proper debate and consideration by
tho House (Reed rule) the bill will be passed
and ultimately after 'full and free confer
ence' with the Senate will become a law."
A nice forecast by Br'er Smith plain sail

would suppose this great Republican high
ship would reach port without a ripple, and
yet delay is threatened; numerous tugs are
