NEW YOKE, an nary 29.—A YOUNG man ealled yesterday at the United States Lxpresa office in Jersey City and inquired about a consignment of furniture. He bad no sooner put bis inquiry than Officers Pearson and Dalton pounced upea him and, having led him to police headquarters, locked him up on a charge of grand larceny. A young woman followed him to the police station. She, too, was arrested and the same charge was made against her. Both refused to give their names. They had been arrested on a dispatch faom Deputy Sheriff Hilde. brandt of Ithaca, N. T., directing the arrest of any person who should call to inquire about the furniture referred to When Deputy Sheriff Hildebrandt arrived, two or three hours later, he brought the story of the reticent couple with him. The man was Frank Potter, a young baker, and a married man ot Ithaca. The woman was Mrs* Julia Lewis, who had been with her husband and family, neighbors of the Potters. "The two became intimate," Sheriff Hildebrandt said to a reporter. "Mrs. Lewis' husband was in good circumstances till some time ago, when he made over all his property to bis wife.

After be had done that he said to mo, and now I guess I'll go home, burn down the house and kill myself." 'It's the only thing left for you to do," I answered jestingly.

A TERRY bTE TIME.

A Wedding That Failed to Materialize. LONG BRANCH, N. J., Jan. 28.—The real role of Enoch Arden came near being played here a few days ago. Seven years ago Miss Elizabeth Terry, then the reigning bill of Asbury Park, tbe wellknown temperance and summer resort adjoining Ocean Grove camp meeting grounds, was joined in wedlock to James Bowne, of that place. For four years the couple lived apparently happy together, two children being born to them. Then Browne suddenly disappeared. He had told his wife before his departure that he was going to New York on business. Believing her husband dead, Mrs. Browne assumed widow's weeds and wore them two years. Then she became engaged to be married to Mr. Russel Hampton, a well-to-do young gentleman of this place. A few days ago on the eve of their marriage, Browne, the long absent husband, made his appearance and claimed his wife. But little sympathy was felt for Browne and it is said he received anything but a cordial welcome from his wife who is nearly prostrated by the shock. It is said that Mr«. Browne will now aeek a legal &eparati(|b from the truant husband who came so near attending his own wife's wedding.

When the runaway couple were arraigned in Justice Stilsing's court yesterday morning it appeared that the charge of grand larceny had been founded on a charge that Mrs. Lewis had stolen her husband's furniture. Justice Stilsing held that a woman could not steal from her husband, and discharged the pair from custody. They went onto Camden, where it is said they propose to live. The woman is not particulary attractive, but she has a sharp tongue.

fPSiflfii K-Y

NEW York, Jan. 88.—While 7ulton street, Brooklyn, was alive with pedestrains yesterday morning, Ihe safe in the jewelry establishment of Edwin B. Hayden, at No. 205 Fulton street, was bcii torn Open by professional burglars, who escaped in broad daylight with almost its entire contents, valued at between $4,000 and $5,000. The store occupies one-half of the ground floor of a double building. About 0 o'clock this morning Samuel B. Whitney, a clerk employed by Mr. Hayden, left his home and visited the store, as has long been his custom, to make an inspection and see that everything about tbe place was all right. He found the gas burning in the rear ol the store, as it had been left at the close of business Saturday night. The windows were fastened securely. He remained in the store uncil 10:55, noticing the time as he was about to take bis departure. He intended to retnrn in an hour. Before locking the 6treet door he disconnected the burglar alarm, which was fastened at the transom over the street door, and which had wires communicating with every part of tbe establishment. The clerk was absent two hours, returning at 18:45. The street was crowded with people returning from church and policemen were patroling their posts on either side of the wav. Whitney unlocked the door and did not notice anything unusual until he went to the back of tiie store. The safe, of Terwill.'nger make, stood in the rear, partly

COVCEALKD VKOM THB STUHBT fell by a stove. The right hand door of this receptacle had been literally torn from its hinges, and lay near the stove. The composition between the internal and external plates of iron was cracked and shattered in pieces about tbe floor. The door on the opposite side remained intact, but had been swung open. The safe is about five feet in height aud four feet in width. It is arranged with numerous shelves, upon which the trays of jewelry and valuables are placed. When the store was closed Saturday ni^ht all the more valuable stock was in the sate and tbe combination lock se^ Not a single article ot tbe jewelry remained in it when the elerk mad* the discovery of the burglary on returning at noon. Without waiting Mr. Whitney reported the case at the Washington street Police Station. Capt. Campbell, accompanied by Detective White and Roundsman Mara, at once began an investigation. Near the safe they found "jimroys," one as heavy as a crowbar and about three feet long, and the other differently arranged at the end and somewhat smaller, two augurs, one heavy sledge-hammer, two chisels, one pair ot nippers, and a small article used to turn a combination loek. In the rear of the store is a small room with one dingy window. It is heavily barred. On a table in this room the police found all the empty trays which had been taken from the safe. Several articles of comparatively little value lay in a pile. The burglars had evidently sorted the stock with excellent judgement,

FOB ONLY COSTLY GOODS,

diamonds, jewelry and heavy plate were taken. Inspector Mackellar had been notified of the burglary in the meantime, and with headquarters detectives Powers, Zundt and Lowery, visited the store. There is a hallway leading from the street to the apartments over Nos. 203 and 205. A stairway connects this hall with a small room the basement. This room is very dark. When the policemen went down to the basement they found that an entrance had been effected by the burglars to the cellar door under tbe jewtlry store. A hole had been cut through the eig!*:een inch btick wall dividing the cellars. Brick and mortar were heaped in a pile on the floor. The hole was about two feet square. Apiece of candle, a carpenter's chisel, a small pdinUd saw and a large screw-driver lay on the lower step of the stairway, while a flask half full cf whisky was found with a brush broom on the pile of bricks. Following the route taken by the burglars through a coal bin the ofii cers reached the stairway leading to Hayden's store. The trap-door in the floor was protected only by a small bolr, which had been easily forced- It is believed that they left the premises at'.er securing tbe plunder in the same way, ior tbe other means of exit were fastened securely. Mrs. Eun:ce E. Seibert^ who occupies aphrtmcnts on the first fl or, over N". 203, informed a repjrier that she heard no noise during the morning, althcugh she was in the upper hall several times

SUPREME C013HT DBCISIOX.

The 8upreme Court has rendered the following decision in the case of David Woods vs. Hugh M. Brown, appealed from this county.

Hammond, J.—A complaint to set aside a judgment for excusable neglect, etc., under section 1881 of the Revised Statutes, must show that the complaint has a valid and meritorious defense to the cause of action upon which the judgement was rendered. (8t led., 305 56 id., 531.) The mere faet that the defendant was a person of unsound mind at the time when a judgment was rendered against him is no cause for its vacation. Such persons are responsible in civil actions tor their torts, except Slander. (44 Am. Dec., 349 42 Am. R., 421 7 Waite'sA. and D., 157.) They aie also liable for necessaries, and where they are not under guardianship tbeir just contracts may not be repudiated without restoring what was received, if tbe other contracting party was ignorant of their mental incapacity. (81 Ind 433 83 id., 18 23 Iowa, 333 2 Am. R., 2*2,18 id., 716 21 id., 24 39 id., 766.) Thb cellec tion of a judgment will not be enjoined for want of jurisdiction where there is no claim of payment of the judgment or denial of the cause of action upon which it was rendered.

days ago, when the i&tejsely ccld weather was-setting in, a beautiful little Jersey calf was born at Mr. O. Ji Baily's place, on the Knoxville road. As evening approached, Mr. Baily directed, his man to cover the calf up well with clean straw, so that it might not suffer cold during the night. This the man did. The mother watched tbe operation with manifest uneasiness and doubt, evidently more than half inclined to resent the liberty taken with her little one, in the most .vigorous and forcible manner. But the second evening she permitted the instruction without a murmur, rather as if it met with her approval. The third evening, when the man went to cover up tbe call, he found, to

hiB

aston­

ishment, that the work was already performed Tbe mother had done it herself, and donef it most effectually. The calf was in one corner, and every bit of straw in the stall was on top of it. It was covered with sti aw afoot deep. The incident is quite remarkable, as cattle are not usually credited with very much intelligence. This enw is quite young, this being her second calf. Mr. Baily bought her in Hartford, Connecticut, about two months ago, and had her sent to Peoria by express.

The Most Remarkable Case of Sex Concealment on Record.

The 8tartling Revelation That Causes a Sensation Among the F- Vs.

WrwcHESTHR, Va.,Jan. 37.—One ®f the best known ladies ot the Shenandoah Valley has turned out to be a man. Miss Elizabeth Rebecca Payne, daughter of the late Joseph Payne, who lived sevea miles from here, and who foT 36 years was apparded as a woman, suddenly startled Jas. P. Riley, Clerk ot the Counttyhere, by applying tor a license to marry aMiss Hinton, who had resided in the Payne family as a domestic. The lady who fired the heart of Miss Payne with such passion as to compel him te throw off the habit of a lifetime and declare his sex is 40 years old and prepossessing. The strange affair has* caused a decided sensation in tbe Shenandoah Valley and nothing else is talked about. Payne is said to have appeared in this world as a female and was brought up as such. No one ever questioned his sex, and his own avowal of masculinity astonished the community. Elizabeth Rebecca Payne was one of a family of five or six daughters. He was brought up as a women and was admitted into the best society in company with other members of the tastily. He was always regarded as a

SOMEWHAT MASCULINE GIRL,

but no one ever suspected he was a man. He was a most graceful and dashing horserider and always challenged general admiration as he frequently rode into Winchester with his habit and somewhat long hair trailing in the wind. In addition to good birth and inherited acres he developed remarkable business talent for a woman. Reverses in the family fortune rendered it necessary for some one to put a shoulder to the wheel. His sisters were distinguished for their culture and persoaal chaims and several ot them married prominent gentlemen. Miss Rebecca Payne devoted himself to the management of a farm and to the supervision of a store, whicb he had established at Rest, where he also held the appointment of postmistress. He also dealt in cattle and horses, and became an expert in that way All his enterprises prospered, and be has acquired considerable wealth. Determining to marry, he threw off bis dresses and applied for a lioensc from the court at Winchester, bat the astonished clerk, who, like every body else, knew him as a woman, declined -o issue a license for a woman to marry a woman. When Payne

PROVED BIS REAL SEX

by producing the certificate of Dr. H. W. Maguire, of Winchester, a license was still refused, on the ground that Virginia law compels a man to have given-names which show his sex before he can act as a man in the eye of the law. Payne then determined to have his name changed at th-s March term of the Circuit Court, which will meet on the 1st prox. In the explanation furnished, Miss Payne said that there had never Deen any occasion to doubt the feminity until about a fortnight since, when being led tc visit Ir. McGuire and Dr. Love at Winchester, these gentlemen performed a simple and perilous operation and announced to their patient that there could be no doubt as to his perfect masculinity. Dr. McGuire is widely known as a skillful surgeon, and Dr. Love, the other practitioner, is a son-in-law of Chas. J. Faulkner, and a highly esteemed physician and gentleman. Miss Payne and Miss Hilton have not teen long associated together in business, but have lived together for years in tbe closest social intimacy, working, eating and sleeping together without the slightest suspicion that they belonged to opposite sexes. Some indignation was at first expressed among their neighbors over the present discovery. One preacher in the neighborhood, who recently invited Miss Payne to sleep with his wife during a visit, scolded to-day considerably because his invitation was accepted, but on further understanding of the matter he beeame pacified.

MARRIED AT MARTINSLiUHtt.
