NOPLlllS-INNACKCASE
llemurrer Entered to Indictment For.
Guldensuppc Murder.
CROWD IN THE COURTROOM.
The Defense’s Attorneys Ask For 8. Dis-
missal Because Crime “’11.: Charged
In Two Counties—The Case Ad-
journed For Ten Days.
New York, July 13.—Mrs. Augusta
Nack and Martin Thorn, accused of
killing William Guldensuppe, the I’urk-
ish bath rubber, were arraigned today
in the court of general sessions to plead
to the indictment charging them with
murder in the first degree; A large
crowd had gathered to see the prison-
ers, and when Thorn and Mrs. Nack en-
tered the courtroom all the seats were
filled and a. number of persons stood
in the rear of the room.
.. The prisoners were not allowed to
plead. Lawyer Howe made a demurrer
to the indictment.
After listening to the demurrer Judge
Newburger adjourned the case‘, to
Wednesday, July 21.
Thorn and Mrs. Nack left their re—
spective cells in the Tombs in charge of
tw0 deputy sheriffs. They did not go
immediately to part one of general ses-
sions, but remained on the Bridge of
Sighs, between the prison and the big
criminal courts building, and gained out
of the grated windows at the passing
crowds on Franklin street.
Matron Smith said that Mrs. Nack
spent last night quietly and without
demonstration of any kind.
When the two prisoners were excused
last Friday from pleading until-today,
it was intimated by Lawyer Howe, rep-
resenting Thorn, that he would today
demur to the indictment on the ground
that everything concerning the crime
was done in Queens county, and that
section 134 of the code of criminal pro-
cedure did not apply to this case. That
section provides that if a crime be com-
mitted partially in one county and par-
tially in anothe the accused may be
tried in either c nty. '
Thorn was taken over the bridge to
the prisoner’s pen in charge of Deputy
Sheriff Snyder. They were in the rear
of a procession of 30 prisoners. Thorn
was quiet and cool.
Mrs. Nack followed a. dozen women.
She walked between Deputy Sheriff
Kelly and a woman prisoner, Anna
Holtzapple, a fortune teller. Mrs. Nack
was cheerful and talked with the for—
tune teller.
flowo’s Plea For Dismissal.
The two prisoners were taken into
court at 10:35 o’clock. They stood side
by side at the rail while the clerk said,
“Augusta Nack and Martin Thorn, you
are both charged with the crime of mur-
der.”
Lawyer Howe at this juncture arose
and said that before proceeding any
further he wished to say that he had
served a notice of demurrer upon the
district attorney.
Lawyer Howe said that he would move
to have the indictment of Thorn dis-
missed for three reasons: First, that
the grand jury of this city had no pow—
er to find the indictment; second, that
the district attorney did not sign the in-
dictment; third, that.two crimes were
charged, conspiracy in New York and
murder in Queens county.
In support of his demurrer he said
that in handling the case Mr. Olcott had,
like Little Buttercup in “Pinafore,”
mixed up the case in an alarming man-
ner. He had unsexed the courts and the
law and mixed up the babies. Not ex-
actly confident as to where the offense
was committed, he had done his best to
throw a wide net which would catch
somebody. The district attorney had
violated the code in having made two
charges instead of one.
The constitution of the state had dio
vided the state into counties, and no one
had any right to interfere with the ad—
ministration of justice in those coun-
ties. Yet the legislature had done so.
Theeounty of New York had no right
to attempt to try persons accused of
crime alleged to have been committed
in .Queens county. The indictment
therefore, in his judgment, ought to be
dismissed.
Mr. Howe said further that the law
designed that every person accused of
murder should have a preliminary ex-
amination in a police court. This much
was due to the accused, who ought to
know who were the witnesses against
him.
Wanted the Minutes.
Mr. Howe said they had a right to
see the minutes of the grand jury; they
had a right to know where the witnesses
against the accused lived and what they
had said. He spoke bitterly of how the
proceedings before Justice Flammer
were stopped: '
Assistant District Attorney .Rozalsky
opposed the motion to see the minutes
on the ground that this request had
been excluded in other cases.
Judge Newburger denied the motion.
Mr. House, for Mrs. Nack, filed a de—
murrer to Mrs. Nack’s indictment on
the same grounds.
Mr. Hour 0 asked time to prepare his
argument ' \ the demurrer.
"I slgg" Wednesday of next week.
' ill that sun vou?” asked Judge New-
.urgrfr of 1.; -ict Attorney Olcott.
“Yes."
“Wednesday week at 10:30,” said
'udge Newburger. “How much time
.0 you want?" ’
“Five minutes,” said Mr. Howe.
' "Oh, no,” said Judge Newburger, with
reat incredulity.
Everybody laughed. '
Mr. House asked for one and a half
l ours. Judge Newburge'rpsaid he would
.: ive than plenty of time. ' >
Thorn and Mrs. Nack were then led
.ut, Thorn first, almost in a trot, a smile
mended to be grim on his face. Mrs.
I ack stopped a moment and whispered
0 Mr. Friend. She looked more worried
' hen she left the courtroom than when
he came in. Her face was paler, two
little red spots high up on her cheeks
.eing her only color. '
Thorn and Mrs. Nack were hurried
oack to the Tombs and taken to their
espective cells.

CONFEDERATE' MONUMENT NORTH.
Members of Various Camps of G. A. R.
Allelped to Dedicate It.
There was no sound Of discord at the
dedication at Mount Hope Cemetery
near New York, of the beautiful monu-
ment to the memory of the dead sol-I
diers' of the South, which was pre-
sented to the Confederate Veteran
Camp by Charles Broadway Rouss.
Neither was there any sign of enmity
at the reception at Lenox Lyceum. The
Union and Confederate Veterans dwelt
together in unity, and the friendship
between the old soldiers of the South
and the Grand Army men was welded
in speech and prayer.
The Confederate Veteran Camp had
issued invitations to several Grand'
Army posts, which had invited its
members to camp fires, to attend the
dedication. Members of U. S. Grant
and Alexander Hamilton posts, the
Farragut Association of Naval Veter-
ans, the Elizabeth, N. J ., Veteran Zon-
aves and the Judson Kilpatrick Post
and the Old Guard were present at the
cemetery‘in a body. The monument is
on a beautiful site of the cemetery, and
the dgdication was witnessed by a
large gathering, which included'manyy
members of Southern families.
‘he reception at the Lenox Lyceum
was the main feature of the occasion. I
There was an elaborate display of
American flags in the audience hall.I
Around the galleries were bunched the 1
standards of the nation and the coat
of arms of every state. Over the plat-
form was the shield of the United
States, suspended between American
flags. There were roses, hydrangeas
and palms on the platform.
Colonel A. G.'Dickinson, commander
of the Confederate Veteran Camp, wel- :
comed the Union soldiers in a brief
speech, and invited the commanders of
the posts and associations to come
upon the platform. The scene that
followed brought tears to many eyes in
the hall. There were references” to the
Old battles and the recounting of brave
deeds by veterans of both sides—New
York Herald.
SHE DISPLAYED TRUE TACT
And Gained the Respect of the Poor
Wretch Who Demanded Her Money.
A touching little story full of real-
ism is told of Miss Eleanor Calhoun,
who, by the way, is a direct descend-
ant of the great John Calhoun, is a
most high-bred, cultivated young wo-
man, and, like all thoroughly refined
natures, instinctively appeals to the
finer qualities of every one with whom
she comes in contact.
At times of great political disturb-
ances in Paris, when revolution is in
the air, a mob of wretched, fiendish
creatures, who scarce-1y seem human
at all, rise to the surface like some
horrible scum, from nobody knows
where, and after the agitation is over
as suddenly disappear.
During one of these political up
heavuls Miss Calhoun was one day
walking with an older lady near the
Bois do Boulognle, when she was sud-
denly confronted by one of those wolf-
ish demons, who demanded her
money.
Miss Calhoun instantly grasped the
situation, and realized that something
altogether unusual must be done. '
“Yes, I see that you have need of
money,” she said, quite gently, “but,
as you see, my hands are filled with
parcels. If you will just put your
hand into my pocket you will find my
purse.”
“But, madame—madame—” replied
the poor wretch, with a profound bow.
“Oh, you cah- find it quite easily,”
said Miss Calhoun; “it is just at my
side. I would be glad to help you
were it not for these bundles. Please
take my purse‘and help yourself.”
With another deep bow and again a
muttered “Madam-e" the deeper-ado re-
luctantly edged toward her, put his
hand in her pocket, withdrew the
it
the smallest coin that it contained;
then replacing the purse in her pocket,
with a gesture of the most profound
respect and gratitude, he shuffled
away. ~

i THE HONOR 'ro FULTON.
First Submarine Topedo Boat Invented
and Exhibited by Him.
I Verily there is nothing new under the
sun, for a century before Jules Verne
i wrote about the Nautilus Robert Ful-
ton cons-tructéd and successfully
worked a submarine boat of that name.
This fact is: not generally known.
and consequently a lucid memoir on
the subject by M. Eugene Debose, of
the French navy which was recently
issued, is of more than usual interest.
Fulton, he says, launched a subma-
rine boat named Nautilus at a point,
near Rouen in July, 1800.
“On the same day,” he continues,
“Fulton made several experiments
with his boat. They lasted for three
hours, and the stretch of water occu-
pied was between Bapannul and the
woodyard Of Citizen Thibault, where
the depth was twenty-five feet. The
experiments were as satisfactory as
could be desired, in spite of the fact
that there was a strong current. Next
day the inventor went down the Seine
to Havre, where the new harbor was
placed at his disposal.
“There a test was made as to the rel-
ative advantages ,of ours and of a
screw movedbe the arm, and the ,l'e~
sult was a convincing proof that by
means of the screw much muscular
force could be utilized. Seven minutes
were required to work the Nautilus by
means of oars, and only four minutes
by means of a screw, which Fulton
styled a machine ‘with wings like a
windmil-l.’ '
I “When a certain quantity of water
was introduced the Nautilus sank
readily, and in a direction parallel to
herself, and she again came to the suf-
face when the water was forced out by
means of a pump. Some time after-
ward Fulton adOpted a screw with hor-
-izont-al wings, which was placed in
front, and which enabled him to re-
main under water almost constantly,
even while the boat was moving. He
moved to right and left by means of
an ordinary rudder placed at :the poop,
and he also used: a horizontal rudder
divided into two parts. This method
of steering, invented by him. is very
like that which is used in modern sub-
marine boats.
Finding that the French government
twould give him no aid, Fulton, who
i had spent a great deal of time and
’ money on perfecting the Nautilus,
crossed the channel and offered the in-
vention to the British government.
But in London he met even with less
success than in Paris. Pitt seems to
have thought well of his proposition,
but, powerful though he was, he failed
to gain for it official approval.
Very Chnsldorate.
A characteristic story is told of a
New England 1122:; and his wife who
live very methjviically. One evening
at exactly 9 o’czock they went to the
l kitchen to malzc he finai preparations
' for the night. “identity,” said the hus-
lband, after a few moments, “hev ye
wiped the sink dry yit ' , '
“Yes, Josiah,” she rep-tied;
' you ask?” , 5'
“Well,” he answered, “I did want a
drink, but I guess I’ll git along; till
morning.”-—New York Tribune.
“Why do
Floating House‘s.
Bangkok, the principal city of Siam,
out-Venices Venice. Not only are its
thoroughfares canals, but many of its
houses are floating, being, built ‘of
bamboo upon bamboo rafts. When the
dwellers in one of these floating houses
wish to move, they simply cast off the
moorings, and float With the tide, up
or down.the river, as the case may be.
When the capital was moved to Bang-.
kok from Ayuthia, some hundred years
ago, the cholera attacked the inhabi-
tants with such fatality that the king
ordered the dwellers on the shore to
build upon the river itself, and, proba-
bly owing to greater cleanliness and
better ventilation, the place was there-
after much more healthful.—Golden
