THE FEMALE LOBBYIST.

Reports from Boston show that Eugenie
Moseley, the female lobbyist who held such
high sway here last winter, has been found
guilty of intent to defraud, by cheating
hotel out of board bill, and will prob
ably go to the workhouse. If Eugene had
a half hour in Washington she would raise
the money to pay her fine in short order.
At least she certainly did succeed in pay
ing board bills and other demands while
here in very remarkable manner. For a
long time she boarded at the Ebbitt house,
the highest priced hotel in the city except
Wormley's, and was the associate of the
families of senators and repre-
sentatives. Not only was she their
associate, but they made her
their friend, and, in some instances
the r confdaut. One little instance which
came to the knowledge of your CORE
spondent shows her remarkable over. A

The Fire Department and police OF
New York city have been annoyed tor
more than a year by false alarms OF
fire. On Saturday detectives arrested
nine young men, whose ages range
from II t. ~ years, and the prisoners
have made confessions showing that
they not only sent out false alarms, put
committed burglarles AS well. one OF
them, named McCabe, is an expert
lock-maker, and he fashioned keys TO
fit the doors of several stores where
others OF the conSplrators were employ

prisoners that whenever false alarms
were sent out several of them would 60
