The Queen of Shop-Llfters.
V.
The Now York "Morcury"uays : Among
I lie females now domiciled at the city's ex
pense In the work-house on Illackweil's
Island is Martha Ilargreaves, whose name
1ms figured prominently in some of the
ureat crimes committed In this city. ' fthe
is widely known to the 'detective police ns
having been for many years one nf the
most expert thieves that has evur operated
here. Her history is one nfNatrauje adven
tures and vicissitudes. During the Inst
lifteeu years she has operated as a confi
dence woman, shop-lifter, pick-pocket,
" queer-shover," forget 'a assistant and
"fence" for thieves. Her skill in the dark
and various ways of crime made her a great
favorite among the big professionals of the
Eighth and Fifteenth Wards where she
reigned like a queen. Dan Noble, the
Lord bond robber, who is serving a long
sentence in an Austrian prison ; " Dutch"
lleinrich, the Aliens, and Hharkey, the fu
gitive murderer, trusted her with their
secrets. She is the wife of "Phil" liar
greaves, who was mixed up in a fracas with
the late George Hill, otherwise "Cooly
Keys." She came to New York from
Liverpool with Hargreaves in 1891, and
noon afterwards turned to shop-lifting and
pocket-picking. As a shop-lifter she had
great success. She made many a rich haul
from the dry goods and millinery stores
along Broadway, hardly one of which she
J ias not visited. With ready conversational
jiowers and good address she found it easy
to beguile dull or careless salesmen, and
almost always purloined some valuable ar
ticle without detection It is thought that
he has made over two hundred thousand
dollars in her time, but ehe spent all her
ill-gotten gains for drink. Hhe has fre
quently been known to give some valuable
articles, worth four or live hundred dollars,
for a glass of liquor. In 1873 the men
who committed the two million dollar bond
forgeries in this city trusted her with two
hundred and fifty thousaud dollars of forg
ed Chicago and Northwestern Railroad
bonds to take to London and deliver to
Walter Sheridau, alias Halstou. She sailed
in the steamer Adriatic, and Koberts and
lileaaon, who are now in Ludlow street
jail, were present at her departure. Roberts
was arrested on the wharf by Detective
McDougall, uuder the habitual criminal's
act. The arrest was the first made tinder
the act. Martha delivered the bonds to
Sheridan in London, and he gave thorn to
a noted American burglar lor safe keeping
until he fouud an opportunity to put them
on the British market. Chapman had to
;et out of the way very suddenly, itud he
&ave the bonds to the care of a man who
kept a hotel in London which was resorted
by American fugitives. This man
afterward said that the police made n visit
to the hotel and that he burucd the bonds.
Sheridan, to whom Martha wns seal, is
under conviction for forgery, and is in the
Tombs awaiting sentence. Martha was ar
rested by officer Maher of the Eldridge
street police a few days ago, whilo holpless
ly intoxicated in the street. Judgo Wan
doll sent her to the Island for ten days.
She says that her maiden name is Walsh,
and that she is fifty years of age, and was
born iu Ireland. Sue talks with a strong
Cockney accent. The thieves discarded
her when they found that she was too old
to be of any further service to them in
their operations.
"By their Works ye shall Know Them.''
The Irishman, who thought the druggist
btingy because the emetio was so small, is
only surpassed in his parsimonious drollery
by those who persistently adhere to the use
of those nauseating, disgustingly large and
drastio pills, while "Dr. Tierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets," tard seeds, will, by
their steady and gentle action on the livor,
correct all torpidity, thus ' permanently
over-coming constipation. In South Amer
ica they have almost entirely superseded
all other pills, and are relied on fully by the
people, and often used as a preventive of
t he various affections of the stomach, liver,
and bowels, so prevalent iu that climate.

A Kerosene Lamp Ruins a Piano.
What promised to prove a serious acci
dent happened in the family of Mr. Com
fort Bailey a few days ago, at bis residence,
New Britain, Conn. A kerosene lamp was
left by Mr. Bailey's daughter ou the piano
for a few moments. During her absence
the lamp exploded, the oil running into the
piano. The noise of the explosion was
1 beatd by the family, who, upon entering
the room saw the inside of the piano iu a
blaze. The fire was extinguished, but not
Iwfore the valuable instrument was ruined.
IW A few nights ago the house of Mrs.
McBride, a widow, in West Philadelphia,
was being entered by burglars, but the
noise aroused the old lady and she took
down an old gun and fired into the party,
who fled tu baste. -
