Svory Innjo city in the country has
, his curious commercial character.
7'heao inun have hud a monopoly ol
.ho business In St. Louis for years ,
-ud at the donth of every madr.m whc
imu departed for the ahiulng sheri
during the last decade ono of UIOBO
neil has come to the front with
mortzngo on the furniture and ofTucts
of the chcoased. For aroinai
who has had dealings for years
with tteeo uion an outline
jf a business that borders
on usury 'Was obtained , "Thcso men
visit thu houBoa and eel -upon oomo
woman -who is popular among the
frequcntcrd of the place , and dhowo a
nack ot entertaining company. To
lier they propose a plan to start her ii
ousinoD.1 for herself , provided she
shows the other noceauary qualtfica
tions. A fallen woman's only nmbi
tion almost is to own a house of her
own , -and the victim readily assents
to the proposition , which puts her
into 'tho ' clutches of her friend , with
but the slightest hope of every get
ting clear. It is not possible to innko
out usury in any of thceo transactions
aa the money lender ia guided by thi
advice of attorneys who frequent ! ;
loud their names to the papers ti
hield their client , The moat note
riot- man engaged in thii bus !
near in St. Louis is now of
ficiug in a nest of attorneys ii
tho'Oranito building with two of then
in his pay. I'll outline- you the lift
turo of thcso trniiEactions. A house
is cecured , or a "stand , " as it is
known in the parlance of the aban
doned women , the rent paid , renovated
vatod and elegantly furnished , The
now tenant has nothing to do will
these arrangements. If she has boon
of a thrifty disposition ulio advance
? 500 or $1,000 as a clincher to the
bargain. The lender never calculate
on Dotting lees than 25 per cent , ot
his investment , but it is not done s
aa to eomo within the scope of tb
law. The fitting -and furnishing o
thcso houses range between 52,00
and $5,000. Now oupposo the expenditure
pendituro amounts to $11,000 , th
money lender obtains a iirst niort
gugo on the house , making out th
ofltenniblu proprietress1 indebtedness
to him $3r > 00 , payable in monthly
inctallmenti ) of $100 nr $200 pu
month , with special contract for th
payment of 100 per cent on the whole
Then the uphill work for thu woman
bugniH. If HI defaults for a few
days on any of the first payments
tuuo is extended her with great tin
willingness , but juct so noon aa th
money lundnr is safe , that IH , wlici
ho has been pild back about h.tlf o
the original indebtedness , and thu
furniture is good for over thu othe
half , it is a bid time to bo n day behindhand
hindhand in making u payment
With threM or four ttxcoptiomi ever
one of thu largu honaca : n thu cit
have Deen started in this way , Th
work of gutting out of thu clutched o
one of thcBo Hlmrta is harder than
this They visst thcsu Iiouses regularly
larly to rnako their collections , IIIH
in this way ascertain just how goo (
an investment lias boon made. If th
paj meiitd arc prompt and thu probabilities
bilitios of the woman getting out o
debt good , they soon diecovor tha
some of the furniture bhould b-j replaced
placed with a more beaultful eot , aiu
consequently moru costly articles , i
new chimbor net \i added to the debt
Or elao the times of payment in ex
tended , and by the timu thu Iwt $50
of the debt in being cleared away , th
original furniture worn and damagoi :
the tapestry torn and soiled , it I
found nocoasary to replace ono-hti !
the furnishing of thu house. In thi
nay the woman Is kept continually 1
debt paying big interest and near !
double money for what aha purchases.
"Mow many men are engaged 1
thii business in St. Louie ? "
1'There are four doing the butlnors
but tha bulk of the houses are owne (
by one roan , who , I believe , make
this hie regular basinets. A Fourt
street diamond broker and two real
orUato men have figured iu ( thcso trana-
actions ; but , as I say , moat ( > f the
tmnaaciions wcro with ono man. "
Tlio Shylookian avarice of those
money lenders iaas well known to tlio
court oflicial a to the victims. TJicir
gtcod of gain know no bountls. A
tow month * aeo the dying request < > f
the Into Ada Vaneo , thu proprioirp * of
H Ninth street house , wai that a Ii.iir
diesttitf set and some email trink-U ,
which aho prlz-vl during lifo for thrir
lUi'itii-rit H , bo qiven to her mother as
tokens from ti lost dnuchler. She
willed nil si.i- . had to bur mother , but
t bur ditij i nidiipy-lrndor put in an
ppearruicn , nnd , undur Ilio auction. ,
cr's gixvel sold the furniture and ht-
lo eouvuiiits novcr covered by the
nvsgo to Hatif > fy thn demands of a
icbl , the payment of which d : ith
topped. A eonlidnnl of the dead
vomnn , who was charged to rescue
ho few little souveiiira for thu poor
viimnn'a mother , found thorn tlio
trr'y of thooo who hold them in
to higher approoiation than the fen
icnta iboy would brine nt Rale ,
Another branch of the business ,
vhich possesses no moro redeeming
catnro than thu tint named , is lami
ng money on personal property , A
woman located in a house , on the rec
ommendation of the landlady , can
nako any purchase. They are imp-
jliod with underwear , dicsacs , dia-
uotid jewelry , horse and phiuton , or
nything they dcnlru , on the payment
if the interest. Speaking of the deal-
ngs with ouo of tlicso men , aninmnto
if P house near Eleventh and Loctmt
troot oaid : "Oh , yes ; I know this
nan. I hate to acknowledge my pov
rty , but I'll tell you. Ho bought mo
t dross , which with the trimming and
king amounted to ? 1G7. I paid
dm $10 \vook on this amount from
ho time I got the drcsf , but when I
tad to give him ( en per cent , interest
MI thu whole amount just aa if I had
lot paid him a cent until I paid thu
ast § 10. Ho called every Saturday
IB regular aa clock work. 1 know an- ,
ithor girl who got n dross from him
vorth § 200. She had to put ton per
cent on the whole amount just aa I
did. "
" \Yill ho make , this arrangement for
ull purchasers ? "
"Yes , ho will buy dlamondn , Miavrls ,
circulars , sealskin sacques , dreasoa ,
furniture , or anything else an long ns
io has security for his money and guta
lis inturent. When u woman ia broke
she will readily make any arrangement
'or dross , "
The elegant silks and sparkling
atones which make up the llaehiuoea of
v disreputable woman on the otruct
were but , borrowed plumes on which a

With such exorbitant latoa an are

Details of tbo Romarkublo Crime
I'orpetrutod In Hungary.
The Vienna correspondent of th
London Standard gives HOinu furtho
purticularn respecting thu extraordinary
nary trial in Hungary. Ho stales tha
Thekia Popoy , the peasant woinu
who ia being tried on n charge of aid
inn and abetting upward of ono limit
red women in poisoning their hus
bunds , ia a very remarkable ohuractc
destined to occupy a position a
once unique and picturesque in th
annuals of crime. She in n gypey , am
ia now Bomu seventy years of ngo
iSho livoa In a little village named Mo
lunce , and it may almost bo oulc
that murder was her trade. i'o >
pie fcay uho had her agents and oniis
caries wliono business it was to kee
up her "connection , " and it mui
hr.yo been a horrid and grucsonu
spectacle to tto the grizzly hag aoatoi
In her arm chair every day rocclvln
her cuatomeiB during buBlncss houi
and giving them thu diabolical advic
and aid they sought. They wcr
nearly all married women from th
neighboring country side , eager fo
ono reason or another , to get rid o
husbands who obstinately refused t
die In thu ordinary coursu of nature
but who , by ThaMa'a friendly ollicea
might bu made amenable to th
mourccB of art. These vretche
paid \ the old gipsy n fco
of from r > 0 In 100 llorins
for I each bottle of poison they bought ,
iid uoro duly instructed by her in
> o R.tfc l methods of its "exhibition. "
hukla Piipov'n clio'itn wore , however ,
ot always married women. Some-
IIKB aho Imd dealings with young
; irls who quarrelled with their nwcAt-
U' rti ! , mid who from jealousy nr
mo Imd determined to killed them ,
'ins woman's terrible trade prorpcud
nazitiij for I wo jonro. She excited
( i suanicion , because the drills flic
iminiatert d acted slowly , though
irely , and in cll'ecis Blimulatod tlio
r'mptotiiA of disease. Kven lion- that
10 bodies of nointi of her victitna
uivo been exhumed they ohow no
ijns of p ianning , though thu atom *
clis are oaten away.
Thu tint enna that sot pecple on ( ho
lert nits that of .loc/.a Kukin , rich
/easant , who died nt Mobile/J two
iionths ago. Ugly rumors about his
eath wi ro npre.ul , and the uoscipa
hieperod mysterious hints cf foul
> lay. There was in consequence nn
iqucat , but the moat careful post
lortem examination failed to revon !
ny traces of poisoning in his case ,
'he whole story was slipping out of
10 memories of tlio vllhgera , when
nddenly n dreadful revelation was
iado. A gypsy girl , the daughter of
Id Thelku Popoy , came bpforo
iio court at Gross Budakorek , and
torrilied It by thu tale .she had to tell ,
ho confessed that olio had given the
rife of Joczn Kukin n bottlu of some
od liquid poison prepared by her
lothcr. She had done this by her
lothcr'a instructions. Having had n
uarrol with her reopoctud parcuta
vcr some property , BIU determined
o betray her. Thek.t Popoy's daugh-
or further declared that aim had nc-
ually seen Kukin's wife pour Ulio
joioon into his coll'eo , and that the
iad told her mother what aho
cnew and had seen. To this
ho old gypsy replied ; "OnO day
will pntnon > ou , unlena you
lold your tongue. " Of course tliia
tatomont caused Thokla Popoy and
ho widow of Kukin to bo arrested.
! hey , however , denied the charge
irought agaiiiBt them. Oddly enough ,
hu judge , by a clever ruse not quite
n keeping with English notions of
air piny to accused prisoners , mnn-
igcd to overhear the two women talk-
ng the ad'air over in jail. Among
ithor things ho overheard wa
vuktn's widow saying to her accom
) lice : "Well , I am yotinT mid
irotty. Ho was old aivl n jly. Why
ihould ho not diol" Tlio judge , after
Jiat , had little doubt that the pris
oners were guilty. They were , there-
"ore , put on their trial , and thu clew
, hus unexpectedly placed in the hands
) f the authorities was actively fol-
owed up. Strange discoveries were
BOOH made , allowing that from thii
woman TJio'da Popov as n centre , n
vast and complex ramification of crime
extended for and wide throughout the
community , The trial has boon du
rorrod for several weeks , so that tin
> odiea of men auppoaed to have been
murdered by their wivea may bo ox-
mined and subjected to peat mortem
examination.
