LONDON , Jan. S2. [ Correspondence
Kan Francisco Chronicle ] Tliu latter
part of last May witnessed the arrival oi
nn American gentleman at a well known
private hotel in Londonono of the houses
which appeal only to the patronage ol
tlio-to who are not compelled to count tliu
cost of their accommodations. He se
cured a bedroom and .sitting-room on the
third lloor. Ho was an old man and his
liealtli so precarious that he spent most
of his time indoor.- * , leaving the house
only on tlio warm , clear days which are
BO Infrequent during the early part of
May in London. After ho had been there
n few days the lady who had occupied
the suit of rooms immediately beneath
liis , left for the continent , and theAincri- ]
can engaged those for a friend of his then
on tlio way to London. The friend ar
rived and two highly respcotanlo Ameri
can gentlemen wore now installed ono
over tlio other. The first arrival any
Mr. A. loft a cousidorablosumof money
iu Knglish bank notes in the care of the
manager of the hotel. In the course of
some casual conversation with the mana
ger ho subsequently gave the latter to un
derstand that he was a Chicago railway
man of great wealth. The tnanatrcr had
every reason to believe him , for Mr. A. ,
BO far from trying to obtain c.xessive
credit at tlio hotel , or to easli drafts on
Chicago , hail deposited a quantity of
ready money in tlio safe and paid his bills
f.'jieh week without even drawing on this
fund. In duo course the manager learned
'
that Mr. A'H daughter was nb'out to bo
married and Mr. A. consulted him as to
whcro ho should go to buy her a stilli-
ciently vahiablo sot of diamonds to bo
worn ny n rich man's daughter who was
marryint ? another ricli man.
THE MAKAttEU'S COUOII.
The manager , with lii.s fat commission
in view , arranged to go with Mr. A. to
ono of the largest jewelers inliond street ,
nnd assist him in selecting thostones. Ho
was himself , ho said , n connoisseur , and
Mr. A. admitted that he know very little
about diamonds and that his eyesight was
impaired. As luck would have it , Mr.
A.'s cough grew worse daily , and the
time apuroaehed when he wanted to dis-
natch tlio stones to Chicago without his
having boon able to go to llonil street.
The manager ventured deferentially to
remind him of this , and Mr. \ . said that
lie had about made up his mind to let his
business correspondent in Now York buy
the stones at Tillany's , oven if they were
a little more expensive than they would
bo in London The manager saw that
little commission of his receding toward
the convergence of the lines ot perspec
tive , and proposed to Mr. A. that the man
in Bond street should send round SOUK
Btouos for him to look nt. Mr. At expressed
pressed a doubt ns to whether tlio mat
would bo disposed to send round a larg
assortment of reallv line goods.
The malinger said there would bo no
trouble about that , and ho himself won
round to see tlio jeweler , made an ar
rangcmout about the percentage , whicl
was satisfactory to both parties ; and the
jeweler promised not only to send nrotiiu
the best sets he had , but likewise to get
n larger assortment on approval from the
diamond brokers according to their usua
practice and submit those also.
It should bo noted huro that Mr. A. hat
told the manager that ho did not care so
much for enormously largo stones as for
stones of great brilliancy , real old Bra
zilian and Indian diamonds. His intcn
tlon was to let his daughter have then
Bet in such forms as .she might hcrsol :
prefer , uulobs , indued , ttie jeweler shouk
Happen to have something very striking
in the way of hair ornaments , bracelets
or necklaces , already sot.
TIIE I.KATHKltPAY.
The man of Hoiid stroct was a good ,
Old-fashioned , conservative West-em
tradesman , and when ho saw what an
enormous sum the assortment of jewels
which were going to the hotel aggre
gated , instead of Heading a man roum
witli tiiom , ho wont himself accompanict
by a porter , who carried the leather bag
containing the stones , and who was more
as a matter of habit than because any
apceial precaution seemed necessary
armed witli ono of tho.su fearful am
wonderful Knglish revolvers , which are
about as convenient to carry ns an eight ,
ton gun , and take about as long to coc
and lire. It was , indued , moro because
the jo welor wanted to conduct the nego
tiation In person and use his own judg
ment as to how fetitl'a price ho could in-
Bist upon than because ho had any mis
givings about the good faith of the pur
chaser that ho went to the hotel lumsolf.
Arriving there the manager accom
panied him nnd his porter to Mr. A's
xoom. Mr. A. was reclining on n sofa before -
fore the lire. The jeweler unlocked the
bag which was chained around the per
ter's waist , and the manager removed n
number of books and papers from a table
which stood by the pofn. On the table
the jeweler arranged a tempting display
of sot and unset stones , worth in the ag
gregate , at his prices , some 18,000. of
which ho hopud to bo able to sell about
one-fourth , judging from the way in
which the manager had spoken of his
customer.
Now , what was the position of afl'airs ?
Around the table were the jeweler him
self , bis armed porter , and the manager
of tlio hotel , a man of unimpeachable in-
tegfity. Aside from the presumption
that Mr. A.was _ a most highly respectable
individual , which in this case seomcd to
amount to a moral certainty , he was a
Veak man. attenuated by Jong illness ,
about which there could be no deception.
The odds wore , in reality , far more than
three to onu ; and a pull at the bell would
liave made them moro than that. The
Jeweler pointed to the various sots and
stones , stating their weight , character
and price ; and , in the instance of ono
superb necklace , telling Mr. A. a curious
history of the great lioblunian who had
been frocnnt.y obliged to dispose of
it among his family jewels. Mr. A. lis
tened with great interest , and then said !
"It must bo a nervous sort of business
handling these things. I should bo afraid
that the devil would lly away with them ,
1 think ! "
Tliu jeweler smilingly assured 1dm that
ho did not worry very much about that ,
nt any rate.
rate.TUB
TUB UEDUOOM DEVIL.
Mr. A. then excused himself whdo he
n-out into his bedroom a moment , re
marking that ho expected a friend of Ida
who wtw in tliu hotel to come up there in
a moment , and wanted his advice m
making the selection ,
After the dour closed behind him , the
jeweler smiled at the { manager and the
manager nt the jeweler. The jeweler
thought of hia protits and the manager
of his commission. If the stones wore
safe before , consider what they wore
now , with only the jeweler , the man
ager and the porter in the room , and the
stones in plain view of the tablo. While
Jhoso doors remained closed mid no ono
) ho enturod the room , the jovrols , you
would 6.iv , were as safe as if they had
oocn in the jeweler's iron-wallod strong
room iu Uoud street.
A moment later there was a little noise ,
Uke the sharp closing of tho.lid of n bor ,
and to all ap'pearanccs the devil had
llown away with the stones , it took the
three men in the room a moment to real
ize what had happened , and at the cnl
of that moment the commissionaire at
the door of tliu hotel saw Mr. A. and his
friend , who occupied the room below ,
walk out of the door , the second gentle
men carrying his ulster on his arm , stup
into a liaii otn and drive rapidly down
tlio street. Jti t as tlio cab drove oil' ho
also noticed a tremendous shouting and
boll-ringing , and , in company with the
other employed of tlio house , ran tip to
the corridor on the third story , where hemet
met the jeweler , the porter and tlio man
ager rustling out of Mr. A.'s sitting-room
as if they hud sron a ghost.
THK fcrONKS HKCOViitii : : > .
Iteforo many hours the jeweler was
closeted wilii one of the confidential in
quiry agents , who were described in tlio
last letter as "crooks' agents , " and a few
days later ho recovered the stones by pay
ing the broker JW.OOO. If ho had gone to
the police instead of tlio broker ho would
probably have never succeeded in bring
ing the artists to justice and would cer
tainly have lost the stones altogether.
The police huvo never hoard anything
about tlio operationthe manager had ex
cellent reasons for not advertising his
own blunder in having been hoodwinked ,
and as the jeweler had compounded a
felony , ho certainly wanted to keep his
mouth shut.
The Americans were , it need hardly bo
said , lirst class artists. They had perhaps
in all invested . 'JlfiO ' in the lob , although
when their trunks came to bo examined
they were found to contain an amazing
mlmbcr of all newspapers , which , with
all the respect in tlio world for the peri
odical press , can hardly bo regarded as
valuable assets , The English banknotes
locked in the safe , with the exception of
the olio at the toil of the roll , wore like
the old Bank ot Kleiranco notes ; they
wore some of a quantity of advertisement
having tlio general apper.tnco ot bank
notes which a theatrical manager in
Liverpool was Indiscreet enough to dis
tribute through the streets of that city
not long ago , and which wore s'eixed by
tlio police as soon as they were called to
their attention , but a good many of
which found their way to London in the
meantime. The manager had. of course ,
not scrutinized the notes , as lie merely
saw Mr. A , put them into an envelope
and write his name on it.
A CUItlOIJS TAIIf.E.
This is a story from tlio outside. Now
let us look at it from the inside. A few
days before the robbery Mr. A.'s friend
had bought for him a curious antique
table , which Mr. A. intended to take to
America with them , nnd which , for the
time being , ho had in his sitting-room ,
covered with a cloth to prevent its being
scratched.
It was on this table that the diamonds
had been laid , and , as a matter of fact ,
this table was the devil that How away
with them. It had been made , or rather
remade , from a curious piece of old fur
niture by a manufacturer of stage con
jurors' appliances in Paris. It was a
small , round-topped table , nnd from the
top it sloped in and then spread out
again toward the lloor , something like
the trunk of a tree or an hour-glass with
out its waist being pinched in very
tightly. The top of the table was
inlaid , the pattern consisting of
a number of pio-shapcd pieces
and radiating from an enameled medall
ion in this middle. From the top to the
lloor the table was hollow , when tlio Hat
piece at the bottom of it was unscrewed
and a load weight which made it as heavy
as a solid table was removed. Through
this hollow there ran a stout piece of
heavy fish-lino , fastened to the under side
of the medallion iu tlio top of the tablo.
Uotoro the jeweler's visit this medallion
had been replaced by a wooden plug , in
which was set a little iron ring. On the
under side of tlio cloth a piece of stout
dogskin was securely glued and the ring
sewn to this. When the cord was sharply
jerked the top of the table collapsed to
ward the middle ,
THE 1'IU-SIIAI'ED PIECES
being hinged at the outside , nnd ar
ranged so that their points would drop in
when the cord pulled down the plug.
Therefore , when the cord was pulled the
cloth would bo drawn down into the hol
low part of the table wrapphlg in itself
whatever had been lying on it when the
cord was pulled.
DTlio two crooks had quietly cut n hole
through the lloor of Mr. A.'s sitting-room
and the ceiling of the room below as soon
as the two sitting-rooms had been cleaned
tip by the hotel servants that morning.
In Mr. A's room ttio hole was of course
concealed by the table , but the room below -
low had to bo kept locked and unentered
during tlio morning.
This the partner had easily arranged
by saying that ho was writing letters and
did not wish to bo interrupted. When
ever A. wont into his bedroom from tlio
sitting-room he went out of tlio bedroom
to the corridor and down stairs to his
partner's room , His partner was in
readiness , and when ho know it was
time to act ho stood on a
chair under the hole and hold
his overcoat ready to catch the table
cloth and the stones. Mr. A.stood with the
cord in his loft hand an open knife in his
right. Ho jerked the cord. His part
ner's ulster received what it was waiting
for and he quickly cut the cord close up
to the cloth.
The ulster was hastily doubled over
its contents , and with it on the partner's
arm they walked quickly down the
stairs and were in the hansom before the
people up stairs realized that the stones
wore gone ; and even when they saw that
the top of the table scorned to have fal
len in it took them ti moment to discover
that it was not in that room that they
must look for the vanished diamonds.
The two artists must have had fully live
minutes start , and three minutes was all
they needed to bo lost.

REUNION OF BROTHERS.
Singular Occurrence In the Streets of
tlio City of Mexico.
Two Republics : On the corner of
Ganto and San 1-rancisco streets there
occurred an incident yesterday morning
which shows how small this world really
is in these days of railroads and steam
ship transportation. Karl and Julius
Kretzmar , twin brotors , lirst saw the
light of day fifty-two years ago in what
was then a snmll village just outside ot
the limits of licrlm , but which has since
been incorporated in the great city. They
{ row up together into manhood , served
together in the same regiment as one-
year volunteers , tumor a provision of the
"ompulsory military service of Germany
ay which young men wlio reach the
igo whun they become eligible as sol-
liors may reduce their term of army life
: o one year by feeding and clothing
.hemsolvos. Upon leaving the army they
; ogether entered the establishment of
: holr father , a wholesale grocer
rt'hou they wcro twenty-three years
> ld the father met with financial
reverses which reduced his fortune to
inch an extent that only a small pittance
emained , scarcely enough to decently
iiaintam the family , composed of ten
ihildron. of whom the twins were the
tldcst. When this state of alTuirs became
tpparunt the two brothers resolved to
itriko out for themselves. Karl accepted
i humble position offered him by a Ham-
Hirg merchant iu a branch house of the
inn located in Calcutta , while Julius
mtored the employ of a cloth manufac-
uring establishment In ono of the in-
crier towns of Germany. Karl kept up
cgular correspondence with his brother
or years , but finally tiring of his position
io loft It and for ycar battled against
.dversity . which ho was too proud to
nako known , so ho ceased writing en-
irely from that time. Ho finally drifted
to New York , entered the employ of n
collee-llouso , and came to Mexico three
weeks ago to look Into the cofTeo-ralEinu
Industry of the republic for his firm , of
which ho has become n member. Julius
in the meanwhile had been sent
out as a wool-buyer by the factory
in which he had found employment ,
and through the agent of an American
woolen goods importing house had been
made aware of the advantages oll'ered in
the United States for the establishment
of woolen mills. The stories he heard
determined him to remove to America ,
and as soon as ho had a little sum laid
by ho look ship from Now York , and
traveled from thence to the woolen man
ufacturing center in liliodo Islandwhere
ho found u position , saved his moncyand
is now the proprietor of one ot the
largest mills in the.stato. lie came to
Mexico some days ago to arrange with a
firm In Chihuahua for n wool supply.aml
extended his visit to this ciy to see the
sights. While walking in opposite dircu-
tions on San l-'rancibco street the broth
ers came face to face , and , notwithstand
ing the fact that tiventy-ninu years had
passed since their last meeting , they
rccogni/.ed each other instantly , whether
through an unexplainable instinct , or
whether owing to the fact that they resoluble -
soluble each other so closely in llguruand
features that It is hard to distinguish one
from the other , it is hard to say ,
It 1 4 a Curious Fact
That thn body is now more susceptible to
'
benefit from 'medicine than at any other
soason. Hence the importance of taking
Hood's ' Sarsapanlla now , when it will do
you the most good. It Is really wonder
ful for purifying anil enriching tlio blood ,
creating an appetite and giving tone to
the whole system. He sure to get Hood's
Sarsaparilla , which is peculiar to itself.
