tisement of the change kept coming
to the depot, as usual, it was kept
on until last night, when it ran for
positively the last time, and took a
half dozen passengers out to Bay

ONCE LEADER OF FASHIONS.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 8.-It is
learned from New York that Mrs.
Caroline Kerkow, formerly prominent
in fashionable German circles of this
city, is in Jail there for swindling by
various devices. She il known to
have secured at least $4,000. Her
latest device was to alter draft for
81, 900 on Valentine Blatz, brewer OF
this city, which she got cashed. She
has been stopping at st. Dennis Hotel,
Gilsey House, Grand Hotel, New
York Hotel, Hotel Brunswick and
other leading hotels in gorgeous style,
and, it is said, made rule to pay
nothing but hotel bills. Mrs. Kerkow
was fashionable milliner here, but
afterwards married a travelling man
named John Heyman. Her beauty
aud fine address won her place in
fashionable German circles here, and
her home was the resort of German
actresses and gay young men, who de-
sired to make their acquaintance.
Then there began unpleasant whisper
ings in regard to her character, and
falling into disrepute she quilted the
city, and has since followed the career
of an adroit confidence woman.

VOORHEES, AND MALONE.

WASHINGTON, April 2. 2.-Senators
Voorhees, and Malone decline to be
interviewed on the subjecG Of tAeir
sparring exhibition in the Senate yes
terday afternoon. Friends of both
gentlemen are endesvoring to arrange
a mutual explanation for Monday,
with every chance of success. Sena
tor Voorhees, has stated to friend
that h5 is content TO let the eontro-
versy between himself and Senator
Mahone rest just where it is. He is
satisfi' d, certainly, if the Senator from
Virginia is. One thing is very clear,
there will be no pistol and coffee fool

of either of them, and they need not

EARLY BREAK IN THE SENATE DEAD
LOCK ANTICIPATED-PUR OF
THE MALONE PARTY IN VIRGINIA
AND ELSEWHERE.
From the N. Y. Herald.
WASHINGTON, April 8, 1881.
The line between administration and
standardization republicans Is not
yet 80 clearly drawn as 1t may be next
winter. The party majority Is SO small
that neither faction can accomplish any
hing without democratic help, but it is
given out freely that the administration
desires the Senate to proceed TO execu-
tive business, and takes little or no in.
terest in the change of Senate officers.
This wish and u slo"ing iDpatience
among republican senators at the petit
ness Of the squabble in which they are
engaged promises to effect break of the
deadlock early in the week.
"We may as well drop those twin
relics of barbarism, Messrs. Gorham anu
k!ddlebrger, and go TO work, so as to gel
home," said republican senator yesler-
dav. "The debate has really done all
that 1t was meant to do. With the DO
tent help Of Senator Hill it has made So
wide and efiectual breach between
General Malone aud the Democrats that
they can never get together again. That
was the main object to be accomplished
and it is done"
The leaders of the Southern indepen-
dents will probably get together during
Tie coming summer TO plan their opera
tions for tie fall. General Malone has
a severe struggle before him in Virginia,
but The Malone men believe they will
carry the Legislature AID elect theil
Governor. They are disposed to see
their independent movement take
vigorous life also in other States, and
their plan,so far as it has been developed,
is to labor for The organization of
formidable independent party in every
5 utbern State. II they can accomplish
this they desire to hold this organization
aloof from alliance with either of the two
present parties 10 Congress, and hope to
oc able 70 elect such body Of Congress-
men two years from now as, acting to-
gether, will hold the balance of power
i'll tue House. Ii they eau succeed in
this they say The interests Of the South
era States, so far as Congressional ap-
and legislation can AFFECT
thetn, will be safe in their hands. Those
who favor this plan believe that stale
nent Of II TO the voters in tae Southern
States will Itself do very much to create
a formidable independent sentiment, as
1t will be seen that with republican ad-
aud repuSl can Senate the
democrats, even should they convrol the |
House after two years, would not be able |
to do anything Tor Southern interests,
while body of Southern Independents
could accomplish everything that is
wanted.
1t is hopeful feature of this move.

make ga free vote aud fair count" one
