Bring. About Their lteturn In * Very
Mysterious Manner.
Boston, Oct. 9.—Four paintings val-
tied at from $15,000 to $ 18,000, that were
stolen from the residence of the late
Frederick L. Ames, at North Easton, iu
the summer of 1885,have been recovered
by the family within a week, and the
recovery has been as mysterious as was
the robbery nine years ago. The family
are still in the dark in regard to where
the pictures have been all these years.
They burglars, have no do idea of the know identity of the
who chiefly nor they concerned the lawyer*
were in the re¬
covery of the pictnires.
At the time of the robbery Mr. Ames
offered $1,500 for information that would
lead to their recovery. Last week in¬
quiries were still made good. as to The whether the re-'
ward was reply was in
the affirmative, and after some myste¬
rious negotiations the pictures were giv¬
en into the possession of the family and
the |1,500 was paid to a lawyer in this
city, to be turned over to the man who
gave nected the with information. the transaction Everybody pledged con¬
was
to secrecy in regard to'the identity of
the others concerned in the deal.
During the summer and fall of 1885
44 houses, stores, banks and offices in
New England cities were robbed.
Among them was ex-Govornor Clafliu’g
house at Newtonville, where about $8,-
000 worth of diamonds and jewelry
were secured. But the robbery of the
Ames house at North Easton was the
most all. peculiar The house, and mysterious of the of costly them
one most
and beautiful private residences in New
England, is North situated iu the center The of
the great Easton estate.
family and all the servants were in the
house the night of the robbery. The
next morning one of the housemaids
found several empty picture frames
lying about. One of the pictures, a
little bit of a panel not more than '8x10
inches, It by Millet, the picture was worth of about $ 10,-
000. was a girl tend¬
ing geese. There was also a small land¬
scape by Rousseau and two others by
famous painters.
Money was spent liberally in trying
to get a trace of the pictures, and pri¬
vate detectives worked steadily on the
case for over a year, but without com¬
ing upon a clue of any value. Mr. Ames
came to the conclusion would long before bis
death that the picture* never be
recovered. He was convinced that the
men who had stolen them did it with
the intention of destroying them, but
why they should want to do thi* nobody
could understand.
A Bliort time ago a man was arrested
in New York for murder. Ho had no
money with whioh to pay hi* lawyer.
Iu this extremity he told the lawyer
that he could get $1,500 for some pic¬
tures that had been stolen by a gang of
which he had been a member, and he
unfolded to him the story of the Ames
robbery. Negotiations were opened with
a Boston lawyer, and the representa¬
tives of the Ames-estate agreed to pay
the money provided the pictures were as
good as when taken. This proved to be
the ease, and the pictures are now in
the possession of the Ames family again,
but slightly blurred. It is supposed
that they had been left with some pawn¬
broker, as the burglar said that he was
indebted to the dealer $1,000, and this
snm he had to pay.

many beautiful and promioeot wed
dings as promise to be this fall. Ev¬
erybody has an invitation to one or
mote of those already announced, or
expect to be remembered at th«se to
come, and of course everybody is
interested - Aod then, what with the
pleasant gossipabout the trousseaux
undet eeteras, the anticipation* of
the events theinseivee as matters of
social note, and the delightfol occu¬
pation of bunting suitable presents
and never knowing just wbattogive,
society has been in a pleasurable ex¬
citement for weeks. The first of
these weddings occurred last even¬
ing, when the wedding bells were set
in tone by the nuptials of Dr. Stew¬
art and Miss Brooks, to find a merry
echo this morning in the marriage of
Miss Annie Barnes.
8TEWABT—BROOKS.
The borne of Mrs. 8 . A. Brooks was
the scene of a pretty and interesting
wedding last night. Standing under
a busket of beautiful M a redial Niel
roses, hung from heliotrope the ceiling and smiiax, by which
loops of
white eatiu ribbon, surrounded by
tbeir families nod friends, a few im¬
pressive words from Rev. W. G.
Wood bridge and a Mw sacred prom
ises given, united the lives of Dr. J.
F. Stewart and Miss Aonie Brooks.
It was a beautiful scene, and the
solemn service was the more impres¬
sive because of the true love story
which found ite consummation in
this union. The bride was nil in
spotless white—a petite fairy rf little 1
figure in white French organdie with
trimmings of lace and satin ribbons, .
while the groom wore the conven¬
tional black evening suit. When
the ceremony was ended, friends
crowded around the newly wishes wedded
pair with earnest good and
congratulations, and while there
probably lingered in the hearts of
near ones a sigh for old broken as¬
sociations, the happiness reflect'd
on the faces of the bride and groom
found an echo in every heart.
This beautiful wedding was made
all the more beautiful by its
artistic and graceful environments.
The elegaut home was abiase with
brilliant lights, beautiful flowers and
handsomely dressed men aod women.
In the parlor where the ceremony
occurred, t be decorations were lovely.
The mantel was banked with trailing,
atnpelopsts and roeee, «nd from win¬
dows and pictures and walls a rape-
lopsi* and smiiax w--re gracefully fes¬
tooned. Oo tables and brackets
stood bowl* of great beautiful roses,
with the morning dew still lingering
in tbeir delicate petals, and their
sweet perfume scenting the air. The
principal decoration was the exquis¬
ite basket under which the bridal
party stood,
One end of. the ball was draped
with lace curtain* looped with deli¬
cate vines, while the stairway was
decked with vines and gay flowers.
A pretty little alcove of evergreens
