By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. New York, September 5.—A beautiful young girl, about 15 years old, entered the Brighton Beach Hotel at Coney Island yesterday morning, and, approaching the clerk, asked for a loan of $5. The clerk was astounded, as he had never seen her befote, and refused to lend the money. She then accosted several others in the corridor with a like request and with similar results, after which she went to the cigar counter and asked for inking the liberately went ind the counter, and. opening the case took out a handful of cigars, and then went to the piazza, where she offered 27 to some gentle- men.

As she Ert the otel with the man, Detective Irving became inter- ested and had his suspicions aroused. He followed the couple down the concourse toward the West end. On nearing the Iron pier, both got into a stage and continued down toward the other end of — island. When almost opposite the Beach Palace Hotel, another „biete oing in the opposite direction, was ailed and the two were about to board it. Officer Irving had meanwhile communicated his suspicions that the girl was being led astray to one of the Coney Island Police, and the latter forthwith ar- rested her and took her to police headquarters. IN THE EXCITEMENT of the moment, the girl’s companion walked away, but subsequently called at 9 to make in- quiries concerning her. While being detained the young lady became very hysterical and sobbed vio- lently. During her rational moments she said she was Sophia Richter resides with her mother at No 47 Brooklyn. She said on Wednesday boarded the cars at Williamsburg, intending to take a short ride, as was her custom. Seated next to her was a man whom she thought she recognized as 22 friend of her dead father, and to him she — ‘How do you do, Mr. Hartford?” The man replied that he was not Mr. Hartford. adding, but I will do as well.“ “You must excuse me,” she continued, “but you look so like him that I was mistaken.” A general conversation ensued, during which he asked her to go to Coney Island, which invitation after some little persuasion, she — He told her that his name was Stonington that his home was in Mineola, Long Island.

He attempted to JUSTIFY HIS ACTION by saying that he knew the girl to be a dissolute character, although he had never seen her before. It is believed that the girl was drugged in that house. About 2 o'clock a lady and gentieman arrived at police headquarters vend inquired for the girl The lady gave her name as Miss Etta Newman, of No. 106 Summit — 1 Brooklyn, a cousin of Miss Richter. She sai her cousin, who was scarcely fifteen years had shown symptoms of derangement since 1 father died. some three years She was a pupil of the Packer Institute, in Mrs. Philbrick's de part- ment, but she did not graduate, — gine ill health.

SOME PREDICTIONS. The Importance of Ohio as a Factor in the November Elections, By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch.

The result was that they went into stock speculat and lost. W. K. was the first to appeal to his father for aid. The latter, it will be remembered, denied at the time that he had given any financial aidto W. K. That is true, but I have every reason to believe — he assumed all of his son's holdings of stock at rice to relieve him of loss, and this isthe secret his own entry into the market and his alliance with Jay com BULL STOCKS.

AT IT AGAIN, A County Official and “Reformed” Convict Wanted for Forgery. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch, Easton, Pa., September 5.—Two years ago Alfred Hahn, of Moore's township, was put on the Demo- cratic ticket for County Auditor. After the conven- tion it was learned that he had served a term in Lehigh County for forgery, and efforts were made to have him removed from the ticket. This would have been done had he not begged hard to be spared the additional disgrace, saying he had reformed and intended to lead a better life, and did not want to be hounded to death. He was then keeping hotel, and the matter was overlooked, and Hahn is now filling the office. To-day it was learned that lately he had given considerable commercial paper, all of which was forged. He treated all alike, even his best friends. © first to come to light was a $20 8822 note held by Rosenfelt Brothers. As soon forgery was discovered a warrant was issued, but Hahn cannot be found. Itia known that the Easton National bank holds a $700 forged note ou the Northampton 1 National Bank for $20; A. 8. Knecht, $500; W. H. Lawall. $170, and Hunty Treasurer Keasiler, $100. The name of John Mayer, father-in-law of Hahn, ia that used in every instance. Kessler recently advanced Hahn a considerable amount of money, so that he could take up a forged note in Allentown, and save himself from arrest, and the holders of the notes will lose everything, unless Mayer pays his son-in-law’s forged notes.
