A. SENSATIONAL. ROBBERY. J. 8.

Schott Claims to Have Beau Held Up lor $2,700. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning a mau who gave his name at J. S. Schott, of Columbus, accosted an officer on Penn avenue saying he had just been robbed of by two men who had held him up at the poiut of a revolver. Schott said he was a commission merchaot, and had arrived over the Panhandle on the 3 A.

M. train. He said he went to the St. James Hotel, but finding their rates were I 50 per day started out to find a cheaper hotel, lie met a man at the door who volunteered to guide him to a che.tp hotel out Peon avenue. They started and had reached Thirteenth street when another mau came up and, while the first held a revolver at his head, the newcomer, who was evidently an accomplice, snatched a small satchel containing from his hand, and started oil' with it.

Schott's guide then told him to start oil in the opposite direction, threatening to blow his heart out if" ho made a Bound. Schcit says he obeyed the command and had wa.ked two squares without raming an alarm belore he met a diceman. A thorough search of the neighborhood was made at once and the entire force of the city kept a lookout for the uiissine satchel yesterday, but no clue to it was found. Schott could give description of the nieu and was quite vague in several poiuts of his story, run clem at the St. James Hotel remembered Sjaott bat says he had no vabsj with him when he called at the hutel yeSLerdy mvtuiiu.

Perhaps there's one in a hundred who doesn't need a medicine in the showery spring April. To the ninety-nine we oiler Paine's Cel Compound, with the ery guarantee that it is the medi cine needed in the springtime. Why? Because spring debility affects the whole system, and to overcome it a medicine that will purify the blood, strengthen the same the nerves and at time regulate liver, kidneys Pai ne's and bowels is needed. Celerv Compound is such a medicine. It is etable; guaranteed entirely veg-it is a physician's pre scription; your neighbors use and endorse it.

General W. L. Greenleaf, of Burlington, who was in the drug business for nearly twenty years, is familiar with the medicinal, properties of its different ingredients, and says that as a general tonic and spring medicine he does not know its equal. With a leap and a bound Paine's Celery Compound has jumped right into popular favor. It possesses such sup merit that it is going tc there.

Witnesses Tell of the Remarkable Resemblance Between the Claimant and Deceased Trouble Over Oil Leases. Other Legal News of Note. The Sheehan will case was continued before Judge Hawkins in the orphans' court yesterday. Miss Mitchell, or Sheehan, was put on the stand again and asked if she ever heard the name Sheehan mentioned by the people she lived with. She replied she had, but that at the time she did not know in what connection.

She said she had been called Julia Mary from her first recollection. Mrs. Sheehan was recalled and questioned as to whether she had told a neigh-bar, Mrs. Walsb, that there was no birthmark on the child. She replied "I do not remember tellinp Mrs.

Walsh any such thing. My husband went to St. Louis to get the child from an orphan asylum, but I never beard him say that she was dead, or that he saw where she was buried. AVhen Mr. Sheehan was on his death-bed I told him I would find our child if she was alive." Charles G.

Orr, of the law firm of Lazar Orr, said he had heard Mrs. Siieehan say she know her daughter by a birthmark on her body. John Slay, J. D. Kobinson, Thomas Keach and Thomas Saint all testified that they knew Thomas Sheehan and that there was a strikinj resemblance between him and Julia Mary.

Mrs. Mary Clark said: "I had a conversation with Mrs. Sheehan Ions beiore Julia Mary caiu ami she told me she would know her by a birthmark." B- C. Hull', an attorney at 'ew Castle, said Julia Mary came to his office eight years ago and told the s.ime story of her li as she detailed in court on Monday. After dinner quite a number of witnesses were phioed on the stand, who tos-tihed as to the remar kable resemblance between the girl and tbe deal man.

Probably the most important testimony yet given was that of Jerry Gibbons, of Jacksonville, 111., a brotlier-iu-Iaw of Thomas Sheehan. He tostined that the child, or heir to the estate, had died in Keokuk, and had been buried in the Catholic cemetery there. He never saw Thomas Sheehan out there. Catlien tie Slatterr, of Webster avenue, was the witness called, but her testimony was unimportant. The court then adjourned until 9:30 this morning.

CHAHGES OF FRAUD. Oil Btrik es Lead to Law Suits in Stowe Township. A bill in equity was filed yesterday bv Elizabeth and Saraue! Hibler, of Stowe township, against W. F. Hogan.

The plaintiffs own a tract of land in the township, and oil and gas having been discovered in large quantities on neighboring lands within the past year.it has be-n rendered very valuable. Last August the oil ami gas richts on the place was leased to Messrs. Cirner Smith. On last Friday Hogaii went to Hihler's, and it is claimed, by improper and fraudulent means inducod Hibler to aiza a lease of the oil and gas rights to l.im. Hogan represented that he had broken Carner Smith's air-ement on leirnl grounds.

He also onerrd to pav fl.t'OJ bonus in ad lition to making the same terms as had beon with Carner Sm'ta. At tbe time, they signed a document pur- i ported to be simply an agreement but which was afterward discovered to be a regular lease, giving all rights to Hogau, tor 1,000 payable in six An injunction was asked f-r to restrain Hoean irom gosug ou the place and putting down wells, which he was about to do. Tua injunction was granted and Saturday fixed for a hearing. THE CITV AGAINST HER. One Woman Makes Matters lnterestine for the Municipal Authorities.

City Attorney Moreland yesterday obtained a preliminary injunction restraining Mr. and Mrs. Alex. McComhs troin interfering with city employes in the openlna of Euclid avenue. Twentieth ward.

The plaintiff in the case is William R. Brown, city In the bill in equity which was filed it is stated that after the ordinance had been issed for opening Euclid avenue from Migoaette street to Center avenue, McCotnbs appealed from the decision of the Board of Awards and received a verdict for 53,0 )0 damages, as the opening of the street would necessitate tearing down his house. The money was paid over to Mc-Combs by tiie city. A few days ano work wag commenced on that portion ot the street on which McOombs' property is t-uated, but th workmen were resisted by Mrs. McCombs.

Sbe threatened to do them bodilv harm it they continued, and it was decided to take tbe matter to court. Judge Stowe granted the preliminary injunction, fixing Saturday for a hearing in the matter of miking it perpetual. The Criminal Calendar.

A Can-Can Dance Early in the Morning at the Eden Theater Fast Women W.th Fine Manners Exposition Prices Asked for Everything. Paris, April IS. The Danse des Incoherents in the Eden Theater brought forth all the old features of the Mabille with the concomitant display of fantastic actions that have made the French people famed for their faring attempts to bring down to modem date the unrestrained Saturnalia the Romans. It was vulgar, licentious, beautiful, in fact essentially Parisian. Girls dressed in street costume, vith ordinary feminine attire throughout, walked about on their hands, an the young women gave a mqst grotesque nd difficult performance of a dance on fine hand and one foot.

It was more remarkable for its ingeniousness than its charm, but it made a great hit with these inventive Frenchmen. An astonishing feature of this ball was that staid, solid, respectable looking old fellows joined in the dance, instead of standing around to watch others icing it, as tbe case always is at New York masquerades. They evinced no nneasiness at being seen in the frolic, any more than if they had been sitting in an audience seeing a stage show. There was a genuine can-can danced at 1 o'clock in the morning, and we all crowded about to see that wild arrange- tuent which no one but a Paris cocotte can render with its complete embellishments. There were two girls and two liarlequim in this dance at the Eden, and for fully 15 minutes without cessation they went through the flights and gyrations necessary for a successful production of the terrible frolic.

Of the two female dancers only one was at all remarkable. She was scarcely more thau seventeen years old, and her Jijjure was slender therefore not excessively indecent when exposed. She gathered her skirts up around her waist, leaving the complete lower part of her body free. And she was as light as a butterfly, flashing her feet high above lier head, and laughing as though it was the greatest sport in the world. "When another girl step ed from the crowd and, stealing up behind the dancer, gave her a resounding slap, there was a great roar of approval went up from the audience and the little kicker was as much amused as anyone.

During the dance there was a perfect shower of coin fluttering up from the crowd and falling into the dancing ring. The women would flounder down upon the floor and scoop up the money and then thrust it into the top of their stockings. AVhen the band wound up its mad melody with a great flourish the little can-can girls jumped up op the shoulders of one of the harlequins and rode him around the theater pig-back. A gentleman tossed her a bottle of wine and she quaffed every drop of its contents without hesitation. I have no doubt these were professional dancers I bad seen, but they were all the more remarkable if their exuberant abandon was forced.

An American could scarcely pretend such deep naughtiness. I met a young artist at the Cafe Helder one night last week, who was as thoroughly typical of the happy-go-lucky nature of the life of Paris as anyone I have yet seen. He mentioned the struggle he had passed through here to get aiong and what wretcued straits he was put to at times to keep from perishing of want. I observed that he was evidently well provided for at present, and he said that his prosperity was the transformation of a few months, as the salon exhibit of last yeir was his salvation. He mide a hit, and since then had dined every day.

"Last summer," ha said, "my lodgings were Tuileries Gardens, fiist tree orTtiie right as you go in at the north entrance." We talked of tbe gay women of Paris. He spoke glowingly of the disposition of the Paris women of the type I had referred to, declaring that they were the best bred, and most refiued women to be found in the world, and said if their manners could be transposed to the morals of the most respectable people he knew we should have a femiuiue population to be proud of. "And they are sentimental," he cried. "Let me tell you of an instance. I made the acquaintance of a girl at a ball.

Her name was Bianca Montgenie. On the way home I bought her some violets. Reaching her rooms she placed the flowers in a vase and assured me that she would love me until they faded. I expressed myself satisfied. Violets live about three days, you know.

We grew quite foud of each other, at least I did of her. One evening I called on her and entered without rapping. Looking jTKE PHTSBURSH PARERS. ALL ARE GOOD! SOME AKE JJETTEIi!

Addresa KEYSTONE WICK No. Fourth ave room f. PuimJTE: nik.rf And my artist friend, looking up, shouted: "Ah, Bianca, ma petite'" I heard a feminine exclamation in response to this, and glanced up quick enough to see a most charming young woman, dressed in divine clothes, come fluttering across the small room to our table. She kissed the artist on both cheeks and then commenced to rattle away in fascinating French. Then she kissed the artist aain, and left to join a handsome young fellow on the other side of the room who had come in with her.

"Were she a countess," said the artist, "I and her handsome companion would fight at daybreak. She is Bianca, nothing more, and he hasher regard momeu-tarilv. Ah, Paris, what a town you are!" I was about to say as much myself. In Paris even the women of menial employment are apt to look well in the streets, and you may see working women with baskets of fruit or clothes for the wash balanced on their heads, but who, from their crowns to their toes, are still embodiments of tidiness. With the exception of wines I do not find the refreshment for the inner man is any cheaper in Paris than in America.

You are forever told to go to this place and that for the best table d'hote in the city, but when you go and have pai-taken of the repast offered you find that it is not a whit better than they serve at the same price in Xew York. For instance, the table d'hote at the BruDs-wick is better than anything of the sort in Paris. The thing of it is here that restaurant-keepers think people desire to dabble with infinitesimal bits of food instead of really eating sensible portions. They serve you about three tablespoon-fuls of soup, a small pot of fish, some radishes, a tiny filet, a grasshopper-like bird, an ice and some coffee, and expect you to be charmed by the utter delicacy of the thing. And by no manner of means can I live cheaper here than iu America if I go it a la carte.

I went to dine at Big-non's, in the Avenue de 1 Opera, one evening this week, where I not only found the prices exorbitant but the service abominable. I partook of a light soup, a bit of broiled tish, a filet a la bearnaise, a mere suspicion ot pheasant, and some cheese and conee. lo my astonishment I found that my bill amounted to over 15 francs or 3. While in America we could easily pass this over without remark, yet here from where a popular impression is gone abroad that ail living expenses are much less, it strikes one as just a little strong. Moreover, I have learned that most all articles that one will purchase in the shops are quite as dear as at home.

The jewelers' windows are filled with such exquisite wares that we ca unot help going in to price them, but they invariably turn out to be quite as expensive as they would be at Tiffany's. A small match-box with au enamelled picture of a ballet dancer on one side cost a friend of mine 130 francs yesterday. "When this was shown to a jeweler from Xew York at the hotel later, he informed my friend that he was having several just such boxes manufactured for his house, and that they would be sold at home for a sum just a trifle less than what he had paid for this one. "You are American, you know," said the jeweler, "and the shop-keepers here know they can charge you almost anything. A Frenciirnau would have got that box for you for much less money." So perhaps the prices that are obtained here now are put up to meet the demands of the huge crowd of Americans that have swarmed down upon the city because it is the exposition year.
