A QUEEN OF CROOKS.
Remarkable Career of a Merion
Woman Pickpocket ,

Hear rested In Huston.
hlcago New * .
To Chicago belongs the honor of hav-
ig produced Mollie Ilolbrook , the
( juecn of Crooks , " who returned from
ioaton , where she passed n year in ro-
iroment , and waa consigned a few days
( ; o to Itlackwoll a Island for the next live
'earn. ' She ia the f cmalo pickpocket par
xcollenco.
History throws no light on the date of
ilollio's birth , and her ago ia largely a
nattor of conjecture. It is nafo to say ,
lowovor , that she is sttll on the sunny
idp of half a century. Ilor picture ,
which is accorded a place of honor in the
loguos1 Gallery nt Police Headquartera ,
was taken aoino five or six years ago , ami
a numbered 1,1)71. ) Itia a singular face ,
ind never fails to attract the attention of
r'iaitora. Mollie can lay no claim to
loauty. llur forehead ia high and nur-
ow ; heavy brows ovorahadow a pair of
deep Bunkcn , piercing ojcs ; the cheek
) ones are high , the none ia of medium
ongth , upper lip long and mouth evi
dently contacted to meet the require-
ncnts of a free-lunch fiend. She looks
down from the wall on which nho hangs
with a smile as bland and contented as if
iho had been photographed by the in-
itantancous process immediately after tlio
jiorpotration of a moro than ordinarily
omnnorativo crime. The picture is in
scribed "Mollio Ilooy , alias Ilolbrook ,
alias Williams. Expert thief. "
She is flvo foot two inches in height ,
lias dark brown hair and light complexion.
Yeanfligo , when Chicago was a com
paratively small town , Mollie and her
lusband , who waa known as "Duct"
[ lolbrook , kept a notorious naloon on
\Vclls street , that was the headquarters
of all the desperate characters in town.
"Muck's" talents lay in the way of bur
glary and bank breaking , and in his nu
merous exploits ho was ably seconded by
lis nmiablo better half , llo came to an
untimely end at the hands of an ollicur ,
vho shot him while ho wai attempting
.o break jail.
After the death of her partunr Mollie
continued to carry on the business , and
'n 1872 brought heraolf prominently bo-
ere the notice of the police by robbing a
Jhicago merchant named Danioli of a
riflu of $40,000. She enticed Daniola
.o her room and drugged him , afterwards
clioving him of all hm valuables. Find-
ng that Chicago was too hot for her she
led to Now York. Three inontlm later
tfter her arrival here she was observed
> y Detective Doaonbcriy , in the act of
licking the pocket of an old lady on the
3iirnei of Eighth nttoot nnd ISroadnay.
When it was found that oho was "wanted"
n Chicago for the § 10,000 robbery oho
A ns sent to that city in churgo of Detoc-
ivo Fisher , of Chicago.
The detective committed thoindiscro -
ion of purchasing tickets for himself and
lib fair charge via the Canada Southern
me , and when the train reached llamil-
,011 and a stop was made for lunch Mollie
Hit down her little foot and refused posi-
ivoly to continue the journey , alleging
, lmt ho was on British neil , und.that the
lotcctivo had no further jurisdiction ovrr
iur. She was backed up in thin step by
Johnny Ilooy , the notorious burglarwith
, vhom she had boon living since her hus
band's death , and who had taken passage
on the B imu train. Her view of the law
,1 confirmed by the Canadian courts ,
uid she was once moro n free woman.
She again returned to Now York , was
ujain arrested and sent to Chicagowhoro ,
However , her case never came up for
; rial. At tor that for some years she con-
lued her operations to the smaller cities ,
ivlioro she prospered exceedingly by hir
ing as a domestic , and at night decamp-
iiiK with her employer's valuables. In
1870 she was again in Now York and it
is believed that she was ono of the women
who then hired a room nt No , 70 Ludlow
street , adjoining Ludlow Street jai > , and
excavated the hole through which "Ited
Leary" escaped.
On ho 80th of September , 1881 , she
visited Macy's store in company with a
confederate named Emma Jennings , alias
"Little Emma , " where she waa detected
in the act of stealing a pocketbook from
nn old liuly from Schonoclady , named
Mis. Catharine Curtis. When a floor
walker named Kigdoway attempted to
detain her slid resisted desperately , tear
ing his clothes nnd knocking him down.
She would have escaped hud not a police
man came to the rescue. She waa placed
under bond but jumped her Iwil and
ngum disappeared.
On .January 28 , 1882 , she was arrested
by Inspector Byrnes at the elevated sta
tion at Fnnkltn at. She was tried and
sentenced to five years imprisonment.but
pending the appeal of her case ro a high
er court was again U'lcascd on bail. She
took advantage of her liberty to go to
Boston , where she was a fevr days after
arrival again caught at her favorite pastime -
time nf picking ladies packets and sentenced >
toncod to ono year's imprisionmeut. Her
term expired ou Saturday , and at. she
wat leaving the prison and congratulat
ing herself on again being free nho was
pounced upon by two of Inspector
Byrne's detectives , who brought her to
this city to servo out her term for rob
bery in Macy'a.

"Yea , they are the famous blood
hounds tliat is , as much blood-hound
as you will find in Texas , They are aim
ply fox'linunda trained to hunt men. "
"Do you keen them shut up all the
timel"
"Yea , they would make it lively fo
the boys if they got out. "
"How often do you have occasaion to
ute them during the year/ / "
' 'Not of toner than two or three times
Convicts will not leave when they know
good hounds are on hand to catcl
thorn , "
"Could you not dispense with the
hounds and depend upon your guns ? "
"No , indeed ; you cannot hold convicts
with uhot-guua. It isoar of the hounds
which keeps thorn quiet. Desertion ie
ueelesa when recapture is a moral certain
j ty , as Is the cuso when good hounds are
I employed. "
"Do have in
> you difficulty properly
j training your hounds ? "
| "Oh , no ; that is ubout tlio only epor
there is. lloro comes the puppies. Wo
will give them a run and lot you see how
it is dono. "
A trusty wai sent down the lane and
over the fence , through a largo field , on
a run for dear life. When ho had ac
complished about a half a mile , or half
his circuit , the puppies , three six months
old hounds , were put on his track , nnd
they started , noising the ground and
jolping as they ran. On they kept , over
fences and through the stubbles and
clitchc ? , never ceasing their noi o.
Sometimes they would run over the trail
where the trusty had made an abrupt
turn , but soon they would return to the
spot where they loat the scent nnd cau
tiously fool their way until certain they
had the trail , when they would off again.
The trtiity was a long distance runner ,
but the soft ground made his impromptu
track ho'kvy , and ho logged an ho approached
preached the end of his run , evidently
fatigued.
1 he dogs gained on him rapidly , and
were yelping close- upon him. llo was
ordered to rim to a tree or fence and got
out of the way , no that they would have
to find him by the scent. llo first tried
to climbi\ _ high gate post , but the dogs ,
with their notes to the ground , were
npon him almost , and forced him to tulip
shelter in a wagon which waa standing in
10 yard , where ho hid himself in the bed
ust as the dogs came to the gate , They
ooked up the gate | iost and smollcd
round a little , then without delay fol-
> wed the trail to the wagon and discov-
red their prey , lying panting like a tug-
o.it. I looked at the perspiring convict ,
nd my heart ulnoto mo for being the
, auso of his race , but I soon found out
liat it was a great privilege , enjoyed by
nit foTf , and giving the puppies a race
vas considered by them the very casonco
f pleasure. The comict took an old
ilankot in his hand and alighted on the
Tonnd , where the dogs fought him
iorcely , making vicious springs for him.
io repulsed them by bufl'etting thorn
vith the blanket , jumping away and
hwarting thorn in any manner without
nirting them. Finally ono of thn dogs
astonod his tooth in the convict'u coarse
mnts , and , holding on with unyielding
onacity , waa swung round and round
vith vigor until tired. The dogs were
hen taken by n guard , nnd "the convict
wont away highly pleased with his sport.

CuTc'iioouK , , L. L , Fob. 0. Since the
inurdor of Jameu Wickham and his wife ,
nearly thiity years ago , this place has had
no such excitement us that which rooks
it to-day. Every household is nnimatci
with the discussion of the affair , the es
sence of which is that the school-teacher ,
Kov. E/ra Minor , drew a knife on n pu-
til named Patrick Glenn , declaring na ho
did so , "This shall bo n fight of lifo and
death. " The good sense of the scholar
"n awaiting further offensive action by the
nan of peace doubtless prevented blood-
shod. The threatening attitude of the
nan and boy had the oll'eot of omp-
ying the school of all but thrco
or four of the older scholars , and those
who so summarily dismissed themselves
ran homo with the story that Patsoy
Glenn and Mr. Miner were murdering
jach other. Every man in the village
mrriod to the school expecting to find
-lie youth and the pedagogue weltering
in gore , but , instead , found them in the
tttttudo of defiance. It was a rude tab
leau of Ajaxdtfying the lightning.
The llov. Ezra Miner in about fifty
years of ago , small of stature , wiry , and
liis neighbors say possessed of a peppery
temper. Ho has lived here some ycara
owning a snug farm. Ho claima asao-
ciation with the Georgia Methodist Epis
copal conference , but the Methodists of
this place wo ild not sit quietly under
liis preaching , and tno present
Methodist pastor has not anon fit to
cultivate Mr.i Minor's acquaintance. The
former pastor , Rov. Mr. Fanning , not
being nwaro at the beginning of his pas-
tora'o of the feelings of the people , in
vited Mr. Minor to the pulpit. This
kindly net wa instantly resented by the
parishioners , and the spirit of rebellion
Unite alaimod the good Mr. Fanning.
The burden of the objection to Mr.
Minor is that ho is arbitrary and dicta
torial in an ollbnaivo degree , anxious to
uubordinato every mind to his own on
the theory that Ins is n mind of superior
cultinv , fit to govern. The people read
ily acknowledge his scholastic ability , but
aio quick to assort that he lacks good
common BOIIHU. Thn man above all
others gifted with the latter bloss-
iiiK , the people say , is Rev. Mr.
Wlialoy , of the Presbyterian church , In
the Methodist church thoio exists n
spirit of rebellion BO deep that Pastor
MoNicholl and some of the worshippers
are not on apcaking terms. ' 1'ho ' Presby
terians claim that on ono occasion , wheii
Uov. Mr. McNicholl waa delivering n
lecture , Mr. Miner insulted the speaker
and his followers by declaring in the
meeting that the lecture waa not minis-
toriul in tone. It is charged that on an
other occasion Rev. Mr. McNicholl attempted -
tempted to change a custom that had ex
isted for thirty years , by proposing io
hold temperance meetings quarterly in
stead nf monthly. The reason ho .as
signed for desiring the change was
that there was not sufli
ciont intelligence in the vil
lage to make monthly meetings
interesting , Every man and woman f < < !
this to bo u personal insult. Itev. Air ,
MoNicholl , on another occasion , so the
people say , denounced as a loafers' retreat
treat a place where nothing worse thai
cigars , candioa and peanuts were sold by
a member of his own church. Now
with the school war added , the place fo :
miles around is boaut with the unholj
spirit of strife , contention and back
biting. Kov. E/rn Minor is well known
throughout Long Islandhaving pio.tclioi
mid taught school in many places. Ltur
ing the war ho waa an agent of the
Froodman's bank in the south.
Among the boys attending the minis
tor's school was ono named Itoscoo Conk
ling. Ho is an exceptionally bright boy
with so keen a relish of tne humorous
that ho could not restrain his laughter
while narrating the incidents of the
school fight. It appears that the pupil
relieved the tcdiouonoaa of the schoo
hour by the boy at ono end of the row
hitting his neighbor , and so on until the
tap had iono ; the round of the room
Patsoy Glenn was the boy last hit , i
seems , and Patsoy paescd the strokoback
in the best of humor. It was carried to
such an extent that the boys tittered
then laughed , but all were suddenly restored
stored to n state of solemn silence by o
resounding bjow of the fist which the
Uov , Mr. Minor Jot fall on Glenn's head ,
Olenu is eighteen yearn old , as largo at
the minister and probably stronger ,
When some of the b"ys tittered og n
Olcnn could not restrain his merriment ,
and his tnugh tot the school in uproar.
Kov. Mr. Minor seized a slatu and an.
irotichod Olcnn with it uplifted , ready
a ntriko. The fun took a serious and
alarming turn. Olcnn jumped out of
na sent , brandishing a pnir of heavy iron
kales and glared defiance at the minis-
or , who cimp to a sudden halt. His
nco was livid with rngo. Ho dropped
ho slate and put his heel through It ,
Ii right hand brought n jack knife out
if his tronscrs pocket , and ho opened a
> lade almost as long as n dirk.
"Como on , " shouted the teacher , like
nnothor Macduff , "this shall bo a battle
if life and death. "
"Don't take another atop or I'll brain
'on , " said Glenn.
"Sit down , jou bloodthirsty young
illninl" ordered the teacher.
"Put up your knife first , you coward' "
'otortcd ' Glenn ,
Neither moved nstcp. They eyed each
ithor like panthers waiting an opportuni-
y to spring. All the time the titnid
hijdrcn wore hurrying out of the school ,
wliilo the older and bolder boys edged
heir way up to Glenn , doubtless willing
o assist him , and uncouragcd him by
nying : "Stand your ground , Patsoy.
finally the minister gave in. When ho
ind pocketed his knife Glenn sat down ,
Take all that belongs to you and never
cpmo back , " said the teacher , "Good
iddnnco , " said Patauy , and they all left ,
t was a very foggy duy for the llov. Mr.
Minor.

San I'ranclsoo Chronicle.
"Taking soning machines on trial has
jucomo a mnnia among the ladies , " said
the proprietor of an ugency yesterday to
v reporter who had called to make sonio
nqmrios concerning the business. "You
know any ono is considered pretty smart
who ran outdo a sowing-macninu canvas
ser and any moans to that end are looked
upon as justifiable , uvon by people who
are perfectly honest and upright in. ovary
other way. "
"But what has unscruoulous dealing
withagcnts to do with your flrststattimont
regardingtho taking of machincson trial ! "
wa asked.
' Everything. You BOO , of late years
this system of leaving machines at all the
places where they are suspected of being
required and afterwards bought has become -
como so general that they are sold , I
might say , in no other way ; at least it is
extremely r.iro for a customer to outer a
storp and buy a machine outright bcforo
having tested it at homo. What has led
to this practice a pernicious one , 1 must
soy has been the anxiety of now makers
to rush their manufactures upon the
market , and , of course , as the sjstuin
became general among the moro recently
established firms and agencies , the old
Rowing-machine men had to follow or
IUBO a great amount ot' trado. It has
been attempted frequently within the
pot year to introduce aoino now method
of nulling sowing machines , but the ladies
will not hear of any other plan than that
which now rules and which can only bo
changed by the united action of agents
and dealers , which is an impossibility
among the jealous rivals they have made
of each other through malicious misrop-
reRontations of competitors' machines in
the attempt to put their own an far for
ward as p' ssibl6. "
. \ MACHINE FOIl NOTHINfl.
"How docs this trial system interfere
with the workings of a good sowing-
macbino business ? "
"I'll ' tell you. There are a good num
ber of women who take machines on
trial , never intending to buy thorn. Wo
allow a lady to use a tnachino two weeks ,
and then call on her and if she makes an
oxcuao for not purchasing , wo must cart
our machine back to the store , in the
meantime , perhaps , this same person has
undo an arrangement with another agent
; o try ono of a different manufacture ,
with no moro intention of making a bar
gain than in the first instance. At the
end of two weeks that machine goes , an
other takes its place , and ao on for sev
eral months , Why , I have known pri-
vnto spamntressos to do a whole year's
sowing on ditVerent machines without pay-
ng ono cent toward their purchase or
over having the sl'ghtost intention of
loing so. A good machine costs about
ifiO , and they run as high as 5tO ! quite
an outlay of money to some persons of
moderate menus , you goo ; but this ox-
lonso is escaped by many economical
icoplo in this city in the way I have
; nentioncd. "
"Persons of the poorer class ? " auggcat-
cd the reporter.
"That's where ynumako a big mistake ,
bir. This scheme is resorted to by ladies
of considerable means , among them
nrenlthy people. As I said before , they
think it all right to make such arrange
ments with canviBtcra nnd cannot bo made
to BCD the wrong that is done. Machines
are often marred and broken and wo
can do nothing in the way of payment
For our trouble in varnishfnmg and repair
ing them. "
TIUAI , MACHINES.
JBut is it not considerable trouble to
ladies , this changing of sowing ma
chines I"
"No trouble at all and no expense , as
wo bundle them all and shift them from
place tn place at the will of the person
who takes them to try. "
"And all dealers nowadays allow ma
chines to go out on trial ) "
"Yes , as I said before , they are forced
t < do it or suspend business operations ,
as no success will attend an ontoipriao of
this kind , where the trial system is not
permitted. A number of minufacturers
have mudo machines for the express pur
pose of sending them out to bo tested by
pcoplo who talk about buying , and this ,
in its way , is not a bad idea , for the same
machinery can bo made up in an unfin.
ished slmpo and the wooden portion may
bo of cheap material. Then , it the ma-
chino-tryor really intends buy ing , an arti
cle of I ho same pattern and finished in
good slmpn may bo sold. But I am
against this whole ssstom of letting oul
machines on trial. If people want to
teat the quality of Bowing machines let
them como to the store and try them
there. The trial plan is a nuisance , "

DEATH OP CATlIiE.
A II. Ji , M. EiiKlnocr Tells a Storj of
the Great Demi-notion ol'Ctittlo
Lincoln Democrat , 21.
There have been many conllicting
stories regarding the death of cattle _ in
the Republican Milloy , some contending
that the loss has been light , while othcts
claim that the loss is unprecedented.
Our reporter has looked the matter up ,
and Icarus from Simon Lewis , tno en
gineer who draws the pay car , a story of
untold destruction of cattle in the west.
Ho says that on his last trip over the
west the valleys and gulches are literally
strewn with the caicassos of cattle that
have starved to death. Great herds ,
numbering thousands , will wander about
looking for water and food , and going
into these gulches , toojtrcnk to got out ,
die there by the thousands. Mr. Lewis
said if ho had ono live steer for every Hi
ho saw strewn along the line of the .Bur
lington & Missouri load ho would have ft
herd second to none in the west. Several
times the train was stopped by the poor ,
weak and starved beaslu as they gathered
on the track , refusing to move except as
pu hcd oil' by the engine , and at other
timea the train \yould bo compelled to
stop and wait while a herd of 25,000 or
i0,00l ; ) cnttlo crossed the track , as it
vras utterly useless to attempt to pass
through.
Another engineer says that on a single
trip through the Republican river valley
his engine kill d no lens than 1(3 ( head.
The snow is about two foot deep , and the
weather intensely cold , and with neither
food , water nor shoitor , what moro could
bo expected ?

The next most important deposits are
the immense beds of iron , chielly in the
form of ttio magnetite and hematite ores.
The well-known Corrc del Morcado , in
the state of Durango , has been estimated
to contain sixty million cubic yards of
iron-ore , which have a weight of five
billion quintals , and civo , according to
analysis by Mr. M. II. Borjo , of Phila
delphia , sixty-nix per cent ot pure metal.
Luid-ores are abundant ; copper is mined
at various pUces ; oxide of tin is found in
voimvilluvial beds tit Durango. Mrrcury
occurs as cinnabar in sover.il states ; and
zinc-ores , with platinum , aiiatimony , co
balt , and nickel , in not largo quantities ,
are found in Chihuahua. Tito principal
coal-beds are in the stales of Oaxaca ,
Yora COM , Mexico , Fuobla , Nuevo
Loon , Tatnaulipas , and Sonora. Thu nn-
thrixcito-bed recently discovered at Bar
ranca , on the Yaqui river in Sonora , is
probably the largest and richest deposit
of coal in the republic. Ljgnito , or
brown coal , occurs in many places , but is
not used to tiny great extent. The de
mand for coal , is so far , much greater
than the supply accessible to the rail
roads. Mining is still conducted by
working on the old Mexican plan , and
this system has been found , under exist
ing circumstances , to bo tuoro economical
and profitable than a system in which
modern nnd improved methods are ap
plied.
Some of the oldest mines in Mexico ,
many of which were worked before the
Spanish conquest , are t Pacbua , in the
state of Hidalgo. There tire about ono
hundred and hfty of thorn , sovonty-iivo
of which are in the Real dpi Monte.ulibrd-
ing an ere composed mainly of blackish
silver sulphides. The ere ) H worked
hero , as at Guanajuato , by the patio pro
cess which.
