FSiIALE fII.ACKMAII.ERS. The Hideous Vtvjts Which Invest the Great Metropolis. New York, April 30.—One of the most hideous jjosts of New \ or.: is the lunuile blackmailer. Many of them invade tho offices of lawyers and business men as agents for the sale of various portable articles. Btories of their nefarious exploits aro heard on overv hand, but they are seldom pub lished. Human nature is such that it is ready to believe the worst of mankind, and thus the man of spotless life and the woman of whitest sanctity, by a strange and weird exigency, becomes the unconscious confed erates of the female blackmailer. These ad venturesses pretend to be tho widows of soldiers striking a pension, or they are gath ering subscriptions for some well-known charity, or they are selling books or 'works of art or station ery—in fact, almost any pretense is used for the purpose of seeing the banker, merchant or lawyer alone, ft may seem surprising that a lawyer could be entrapped, but it lias been done. The case of Alexander Hamilton is historical. He was entrapped by a voluptuous woman and acceded to some of her demands for money, but when she and her pretended husband went too far ho confessed the whole matter in a public letter, at the smiie time indignantly denying that he had ever used his place as Secretary of tho Treasury, which he then held, to further tho interests of the schemer*. That letter twitched the fangs from the serpent's mouth, audAlexander Hamilton died, as he had lived, the idol of the people. A young lawyer on Nassau street, I heard the other day, was victimized by a woman who sold engrav ings. He bad a large practice in civil cases, but know nothing of the criminal classes. The adventuress in this case was a handsome woman of 30, well dressed and modest in demeanor. He subscribed for the engravings and she delivered them weekly. At the third call the clerks heard a dispute between tho woman and the lawyer in his private office. The woman’s voice was angry and threatening; the lawyer in a lower one was pleading and expostulating. She left in a few minutes ap parently in a state of great excite ment. The lawyer, it was noticed, became nervous and preoccupied. The woman called every week for four months. Then the young lawyer consulted another in the criminal practice and revealed the fact that at the third call, which the woman made for the purpose of leaving the engravings, she had asked him for SIOO as a gift. If he re fused she would go to his wife, to whom he had been married only two years, and tell her that she had lieen in the habit of calliinr Oil him and that he bad conducted himself lr, an improper manner. He had at first re fusal to give her the money and liad defied her to do her utmost. She left her address, however, and said that if she did not receive the money by noon the next day she would carry her threat into execution. He was in a quandary. Before 12 o'clock the next day, however, he had decided that it would be better to pay the money, and he did so. A week later she called and demanded 525 a week as the price of her silence. He weekly paid it for about four months and then called in the assistance of a criminal lawyer, who at once sent a detective to the office to await the arrival of the woman who was to come that day. When the woman entered the detective’s head was bent over a desk in the outer office, apparently engaged in clerical work. He recognized her at once as an adventuress well-known to the police. He allowed her to enter the lawyer’s private office, get her weekly blackmail and leave without a scene. When she stepped into the elevator he followed. She recognized him with a blank look of astonishment. He did not address her until they reached the street and the other passengers in tho eleva too were out of hearing. Then he said to her: “Well. Mollie, I see you are at your old tricks again, ain't you? 5 ’ She did not reply. Then he addad “1 wilt trouble you to give me that $25 you have in your pocket.” The woman gave it up at once. “Now,” said the' detective, “I'm going home with you, Mollie. Where do vou live?” They took the elevated road and went to a handsome fiat up town. The door was opened by an old woman, apparently the younger woman’s mother, and she also had r. servant. Tho surroundings were attrac tive; everything had the appearance of a refined and respectable home. The detec tive said to the handsome adventuress: “Now I om going to search the house for the money you have taken from that man down town.” .‘Oh! don’t do that,” she answered, “I will give you all that I have.” And she soon brought him about $'.K). Theu tho detective left. He knew that he could get no more. nd that if he arrested her there would necessarily bo unwelcome publicity for her victim. The lawyer was never troubled thereafter. The same woman is still at work nn other victims. Those who have been h.ackniailed do not publicly complain, and thus women of that class prey on society al most with impuguity. A clergyman uptown raid blackmail tor a long time before he in voked the aid of his friends. A merchant, jiaid blackmail once w hen a woman thrust herself into bis private office and threat ened to scream if he did not. He never paid again, for he gave strict orders not to admit the woman. Jlany merchants and bankers refuse to see a woman until she bus stated her business in lull to a clerk. This rule protects many imUlouiures from tho wiles of these sharks. In smaller offices such a rule is not so prac ticable. Brokers have often I 'em victimized. nese women do not attempt to extort money at once. They act modestly at first ano merely endeavor to sell the book or picture, but, after a few visits have been J? 8 ®? they try to wheedle money out of ine broker for alleged family necessities, or they threaten to put themselves in com promising positions and scream if money snot given to them. They threaten to go to wives and sweethearts, and marriages, , ls vvp il known, have lv.-en broken off , ,f“J e '-ho blackmailer has borrowed a 'hiid. and thus presented seemingly indis putable evidence against her victim. Inno cent men pay blackmail the most readily, me man of loose morals often proves a hope ess case to the would-be blackmailer. He •uigiiK her to scorn and threatens to kick 'er out oi his office if she does not leave at etice. She leaves. One of the most bare uieeii cases of blackmailing that I ever card of was that of a Wall street broker, wnn rcccivud a note apparently in the hand 'iiting of a business associate to call on vin n! his room in one of the most fash ion time hotels of New York.

New York, April 30.—Alter all the New York reporters had failed it was with some misgivings that I pulled the bell at 35 West Forty-eighth street, where she who was to lie Mrs. Andrew Carnegie resides, last Fri day for the purpose of interviewing her. I was shown into a large parlor, the back of which was used for a diniug room, and re quested to wait until Miss Whitfield should return for lunch from shopping. Near the end of the room was an old-fash ioned square piano, covered with a machine embroidered, scalloped-edge cloth, which used to be the only one in style, for piuno covers. In the centre of the room was a table with a few trinkets on it, and between the windows was a small stand holding an ease! with an Easter card on it and a brass inkstand. The mantel was walnut, and a large mirror was the only decoration above it. On either side of the mantle were two etchings, the only pictures in the room. ex cept one of Mr. Carnegie, which stood on a walnut easel, draped with a velvet scarf, near the door. One fur rug lay before the fireplace, giving a look of warmth to the otherwise cheerless room. The chandelier had no shades, but a small red library lamp on the piano probably gave all the desired light when night came on. The furniture was all of one color, light blue. I was soon aroused from mv observations by the entrance of Miss Whitfield. She came to mo and a soil-introduction, of a most fluttering kind, took place. She was probably 5 feet 4 inches in height. Her build was ol a sickly order, being slim and void of rounded proportions. Her hairwas a, dull light brown color, and her complex ion sallow. She looked much past the age the papers have credited her, not a day less than 28. She wore a brown hat and veil and blue cloth dress. “I don’t think the papers have any right to want to know about us. 1 would not be seen by any one, and Mr. Carnegie v ent to the Union League Club so they could not trouble him. The papers never publish any thing correctly.” “No, they are terrible. They even said you were to be married in the morning.” “Yes, and we are to lie married to-night at 8 o’clock, and there are only fifteen people to be present.” “It was absurd now they were having you marred first in a gray traveling suit and then a white silk,” I suggested. “And lam going to wear neither. I will be married in a dark-colored traveling dress and no flowers.” “I knew you couldn’t have such bad taste as the papers credited you with. After the ceremony you will have dinner and then go to the Fulda.” “Yes.” “When you return next season I suppose the castle at Cresson, Pa., will be cotn pleteted and you will si tend your summers there.” “That castle will never be completed,” she flashed out with spirit. “I will never live there. lam going to have a winter resi dence on Fifth avenue and will spend my summers wherever dictates, but you will have to excuse me. I think the papers want too much and I will not tell them any thing.'’ I bade her good day while I groaned in sympathy for the land agents who for the last ten months have been advertising land at Cresson, “on easy terms, within sight of the Carnegie Castle.” “Cheap, near the site of the Carnegie Castle.” One more fond hope crushed and by a bride. I next went to Hoboken to see the rooms on the Fulda engaged for the couple. I was much interested iu bridal rooms and bridal parties who sail, and the gentleman on board suggested that probably I had de signs on some poor man. “We have a bridal party coming on board to-night,” he whispered, confiden tially. “Come, I'll show you their rooms. Have j’ou read about them? They say he is worth $13,000,000 and the bride is worth $7, 000,000.” The first were the Captain's rooms. The one a little parlor with rosewood centre ta ble, a walnut, combination desk and book case, blue velvet chairs and blue velvet ear pet and rugs and blue silk curtains, which hid from view a lovely little bedroom. The bunk was an wide as any lied and was dressed with taste and for comfort. All the cases had mirrored fronts and the chairs were as easy as the lap of affluence. “This trip cost him something,” the man said, “8200 for passage, $250 for the Cap tain's rooms, S2OO for the engineer’s room and $l5O for the other. That’s what it is to have money, miss. What’s that you want?” lie said, turning to a man who came to tho door with an express book in his hand. “Four cases of susaparilla water for An drew Carnegie. Well, he’s going to have enough water to drink.” “Maybe it’s wine,” was suggested. “No. they are not allowed to bring wine here, even for iorkage. because we have wines cheaper, which we buy in Germany, than can lie bought in New York. The bridal party comes here at 12 o’clock and we sail at i>. Where do they land? At Southampton.” After a man has passed a certain ripe age without being stabbed bv Cupid and made a life-long prisoner by Cupid’s agent, then when he does fall everybody thinks, “How pporly he has done after waiting so many years.,” Did you ever see it otherwise* Nellie Bly. He Revered His Mother. From the Florida Herald. An interesting incident is related of Mrs. Jetfemin Davis, by a lady of Memphis, Tenn., who is now in this city, well ac quainted, and heard it from her. Soon after the arrest of the ex-President in Southwest Georgia Mrs. Davis casually met a gentle man who seemed in entire sympathy with her fallen husband, anil whose character she estimated from expressions of lows and devotion for his mother. Mrs. Davis was encuinliereil at the time with her purse, and no safe place of deposit. Shu politely requested this person to take charge of it and subject to her order, until the trying ordeal that, awaited the family had passed. The ex-President was soon after incarcer ated at Fortress Monroe for two years. It occurred to him to learn of his beloved wife what disposition hail lxvn made of her funds. Who replied: “I have placed it in tlie hands of one who promised its faithful restoration on demand.” “But who is he, and what about him ?" queried Mr. D. Her answer was: “l don’t know him, have never met him be fore, but of one thing I am satisfied, ho is certainly honest find true, for ho spoko of his mother in the most endearing terms, anil no one with such childlike devo tion for his mother can ever prove recreant.” Mr. Davis expressed doubtful forebodings from the confidence reposed, It transpired that at a proper time tho gentleman was faithful to his engagement. HoJmd placed it at interest when the principal had nearly doubled itself. Ho had touched a chord that vibrated responsively to her true, moth erly heart. The Miners Vouch for the Story. From the lira** Volley (Co*.) Union. It is well known that colonies of rats find homes in the underground workings of the mines, where they enjoy good living from the scraps the miners leave from their din ner buckets. The late shut-down of our mines, which lusted three and a half weeks, put the rats on short rations, and in tho Idaho mine they were reduced to such straits that they resorted to the oil cans which were used to oil the machine drills, Tho tups of those ouuh were screwed on, but the rats were ingenious enough to unscrew them and insert their tails through the mouth of the cans and into the oil, and then satisfy their uimetitra by licking the oil from their tails. This sounds problematical, but tho miners, who are not yarn spinners, after the manner of sailors, vouch for the truth of the statement.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MAY 1, 1887-TWELVE PAGES. BUCCANEERS AT NAPLES. An Interesting Story of the Early Days of Florida. Written for the Tallahassee (Fin.) Tallahae seean hy an old Surveyor. Prior to the discovery of steam, as applied to the purposes of navigation, and before the modern rage for scientific exploration and survey had led men to penetrate to the uttermost ends of the earth, tho greater part of Florida was almost an un known land. The Everglades were untrodden, save by unfrequent 1 bands of wandering Semi nole Indians, and even their trespasses in that wilderness were held in check by tho reptiles which swarmed in the oozy swamps. There was no inducement—nothing to re pay—should the patient mariner dream of threading the intricate navigation of the coasts, deeply and variously indented as they are, studded with thousands of islands; home of the pelican and tho cranes, the osprey, the eagle and the screaming sea gull. Each river mouth, too, with sand ana soil washed from the land abounds in treacher ous shoals. Thus coasts and interior alike were ad mirably adapted for and did become the haunt and refuge of the lawless—the savages, the smuggler and the pirate—all of whom frequented these parts unmo lested. carrying on their depredations far and w ide. On the east coast of America and on the Spanish main, we read that Cupt. Kidd was Pirate king, but hero on the west coast of Florida, which now we have good reason to expect will soon become tho garden of the world, and where we now- see l air ami pros porous cities springing into being; here, I say, was the headquarters of a pirate chief, who, judging by the following narration, surpassed in daring and savage cruelty all that I have ever heard ascribed to Capt. Kidd. My informant was an ancient negro named Antonio Perpino, who died in Tal lahassee at the age of 117, shortly after the late war. His ow n history and recollections would fill a good-sized volume. He was born in the Island of Jamaica, and at tho ago of lti was valet to a British officer, who was then stationed there. On the breaking out of the war of independence, Antonio accompanied his master to this con tinent, taking part in numerous engage ments, among others that of Banker’s Hill. At the close of the war he drifted down to the South, finally taking up his abode at St Augustine. When t here he entered the service of the Spanish Governor of the fort, who so far trusted him as to employ him in carrying dispatches between there and the Fort of St. Marks, a service of great responsibility and attended w ith considerable, danger ut that unsettled period. We talk of the severity of Florida winters now-a-days, old Antonio could tell of a snowstorm, the severest be ever experienced, which, in 1802; overtook him on one occasion between St. Augustine and St. Marks. But to return to our tale. He described traveling by land and by sea as dangerous in the extreme. On his frequent journeys (generally made on horseback), he had to beware of hostile Indians, and also the buccaneers, who did not coniine their operations to the ocean only, but it was w ell known that they had stations some dis tance from the coast, so well fortified by nature and art as to lie well nigh impene trable. According to Antonio’s tale, the notorious pirate chief alluded to above, liad such a stronghold on the shores of Gordon’s bay, only accessible through a secret passage or canal cut by the pirates through the outside peninsula. Curiously enough, while survey ing there a feiv weeks ago we came upon this canal, which leads through the side of the town of Naples to a deep natural basin beyond. The basin beyond, sheltered and deep, gave a secure aiichrage to the pirate fleet, while the fort ashore cohld be well garrison ed by the pirate crews. They found it good policy to ally themselves with tho Semi noles, then enraged at the occupancy of the Spaniards, and such an alliance proved most fonnidable, as the unfortuate Governor at St. Augustine found to his cost. Iu spite of the danger attendant upon the voyage between Cuba and tho continent, he kept lip constant communication with the port of Havana, and having hitherto always made the journey with safety, he was in duced, at the earnest solicitude of his young son and daughter, who at that time were nearly grow n up, to let them start for the port of Havana. Never w-as decision attended with more fatal consequences. The pirate flotilla at tacked the vessel in which were the child ren; and after a short, sharp struggle, the crew were overpowered and the chiliiren taken prisoners. Arrived at their stronghold on the bay, the pirates deliberated as to the best way of turning the important capture to account. Summoning their Seminole allies to the council, they at last decided on tho bold stroke of marching on Fort Augustine, and calling on the Governor to surrender. In the event of his ref using, they would threaten to put his children to deutli. Little did they know tho stern stuff of which that brave old soldier was made. In front of the fortress walls, according to their plan, they first produced the girl, threatening to destroy her if their demands were not complied with. The staunch old Governor replied that he would “hold the, fort.” Baffled for the time, they again came forward, this time with the son. who, they believed, was his father's favorite child;still the Governor refused. They then had resort to torture. Iu full view from th ramparts the mis creants led out their captive, und tightly binding round his head a knotted cord, through which was transversely thrust the barrel of a pistol, they deliberately proceed ed to twist this round as a lever, the cord cutting through the skin into tho very skull. The screams of the victim were heard within the fort as he implored his father to yield. But no, the Governor would not treat with them at all. Sorely tried as he must have been he doubtless knew that no dependence could be placed on any treaty made with such treacherous and cruel enemies. Ilatl lie yielded, the probability is that his sub mission would simply mean tho torture and massacre of his whole command. Enraged at his jiei-sistent refusal, thu ruffians so increased the pressure of the ligature that the boy fell lifeless in the hands of his tormentors. It was afterwards found thdt the skull was actually fractured. Maddened by the sight, the Governor, heading the defenders, made a furious sally from the fort, routing the pirates and Indians, who broke for the woods, leaving the dead body of the son, but, un happily, carrying oil’ with them the hapless girl. Prolonged but fruitless was tho chase nfter the fiendish crew. Too well they knew the forest labyrinths, and in deep sorrow and dejection"the pursuers returned. A raid wus afterwards made on the pirates on Gor don's t>ay, but all too late. Tueir stronghold was abandoned, and tho is sir captured girl no more was seen or heard of. Such was the talc as told by the old negro eyewitness and partidpantof those tragical events, and hard it is tost ay, looking at tho quiet water* of the lovely lond-loekril Imy, to realize that midst these scones ho fair, such bloodiy deeds ware done, and at such a re cent date. [The old canal cut across tho Imautiful site selected for tho future city of Naples nud tlie slight remains of the old fort, is all that is left to remind us of its former oc cupancy by tho daring buccaneers. Who knows hut that tho treasures of tills second Capt. Kidd yet lie buried along tho line of this old canal!—Ed. TtUkthasseean.
