REPORTERS FIND LEAK.
The Grand Jury OutWitted in an
 Election Case.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The federal building was besieged with politicians of both parties from an early hour this morning in consequence of the fact that Joseph c. Mackin, the ce1e- brated local Democratic politician and secre-
 tary of the amalgamated Democratic clubs of
 Cook county, had been subpenaed by the
 grand jury to tell what he knew of the al-
 legged ballot box fraud in the Leman-Brand
 case All the parties concerned in the en-
 graving and printing of the spurious ballots
 have testified under oath that the work was
 done for Mackin and the work delivered to
 him and to-days' developments were expected
 to be of highly sensational character. By
 order of Judge Blodgett all rooms surround
 ing the grand jury chamber are examined
 every morning in order to prevent any re- porters or stenographers secreting themselves and the doors are doubly secured with heavy wax seals. A force of officers has also been detailed to prevent press representatives as- cending to the floor occupied by the grand jury Notwithstanding these precautions some of the morning papers, notably the Herald continue to publish full reports of the testi- 1 mony given and minute details of the scenes which occur United States District Attor- ney Tuthill has exhausted every effort to dis cover the leak.
 J. C. Mackin was in the grand jury room exactly six minutes. He gave them no in- | formation whatever ahdS it was consider. | ably impressed with, his astute evasiyeness. l The watchman who had charge of the bal lot boxes and the officials of the county clerks l office we're examined at length, No indict- l mehts have been found.

The Peculiar Banking Methods Em-
 ployed by Mrs. Howe.
 BOSTON, Dec. 4.-The sensation here in tensifes over the attempt of Mrs. Howe to re-establish her Woman's bank on the basis of fabulous interest of eight per cent. a month. It seems that soon after her release from the house of correction, where she had served term for the old swindle, she sent to Augustus Russ, the assignee, for the books and money belonging to her. MT. Russ re- piled in effect that as the liabilities of the old concern were soAe $400,000 and the assets only $21, ,000 he had no balance to hand over and the books and papers he considered as records. After calling herself and sending her attor- ney, but without result, she opened a new bank at 132 West Concord street, evidently starting a new set of books and advertising by card to pay eight per cent. month on all deposits, three months interest to be paid in advance and offering to pay six per cent. in- terest on all deposits made to her during the year 1881, winch she was sent to prison, up to date. The exposure was made by lady reporter of the Traveller, who called on Mrs. Howe with the avowed purpose of investing in the bank. Mrs. Howe's associate is one Mrs. EviIle and they refuse to disclose their methods or have any conversation with males, but seem to be doing thriving busi- ness with ladies of means, who are not satis- fed that Mrs. Howe is not a much abused woman. Their method of receiving custom CTS is very peculiar, they refuse any in formation as to their manner of investment. This forenoon very modest and ladylike woman was met coming from the bank. She was met by an acquaintance and said: "You know have some money come to me now from my husbands estate in the West. Well, heard that Mrs. Howe, who used to keep the Woman's bank and pay such great interest, was out of jail and had started again, so as I want to make all the money can I called on her just now. I was met at the door by a lady who wore wig and when I asked for Mrs. Howe she refused eith- CT to permit me to step inside or to call Mrs. Howe. She said she could not be seen by anyone. then told her my business and asked her how much per cent. was paid and on what terms money was taken. She said ladies brought their money there for deposit and were satisfied with the profits without concerning themselves about it. The money was safe and the profits to the depositors very large. The same method of doing business is pursued as at the other place. If I had any money with me she would take it, but would tell me nothing more about it now When she found was not disposed to make de- Well, bring your money and shut the

A SINGULAR LAWSUIT.
Property Claimed by the Heirs of a Man From Whom 1t Was Confscat. ed in the Revolution.

Property Claimed by the Heirs of
 Man From Whom 1t Was Confiscat-
 ed in the Revolution.
 HALIFAX, N. J., Dec. 4.-The greater part of the city of Maiden, Mass, is claimed for Nova Scotian heirs under the following cir cumstances: About the time of the Ameri- can revolution Peter Tufts emigrated from England to Massachusetts and settled on the site of the present city of Maiden where he acquired by purchase and possession a large and valuable portion of the ground now covered by the city. He left only one child, the greater number of whose descendants now reside in Nova Scotia, but some are still in the States. After a num- Der of years of peaceful enjoyment and occupation of his property it seems he tenn porarily left it and his descendants claim it and say they are prepared to show that he was lost on an American vessel owned by American patriots. The property, however, was confscated by the government, and since sold, built upon and occupied, the gov ernment claiming the right to confiscation on the assumption that Peter had been a loyal ist and gone to the provinces to reside. The claimants consider that by they can have the confscation set aside and claim the value of the property from the government, to whom the present possessors will in such event have to look for redress. Joseph Coombs, of this city, is now acting on behalf of the heirs here and in the States and intends taking active proceedings in the matter. He says the statute of limitations does not apply in the case and anticipates no particular difficulty in substantiating his expectations. The prop erty now amounts to a very large fortune and the particiants he says being of a long lived race, and number of the minor claims in the States having been bought up by others, will not number over fifty. MT. Coombs has been in receipt of mass of correspondence about the matter and now considers that he has the case down fine.

A DRAMATIC SUICIDE.

The Music Teacher Who Was
 Charged With An Infamous Crime
 Ends His Life.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The circumstances connected with the death of Professor De Wolowski, the music teacher who committed suicide this morning, are very sensational and if his last dying statements are to be be- ieved he is more sinned against than shining. He was arrested about three weeks ago on @ charge preferred by his daughter in which he was accused of committing a gross and unnatural crime, the daughter being the victim. Wolowski denied this and alleged at the time that his daughter had been in duced by third parties to prefer these charges. Wolowski was out on bail
 and alone at his residence, a finely furnished three story brick house, last night. When found this morning he was lying dead upon the dining room floor with three bullet wounds in his body. The surroundings in- dicated deliberate preparation for commi1tlng the deed. One revolver with three empty chambers was in his -Sying grasp and still p4other revolver and knife were found on the mante1 pad dining room table. The unfor- tnnpse man had made an improvised a+ar of chair in the room and this contained fic- ture of the Virgin Mary, several Bibles, sonA in French and others in the Polish language; also prayer written in French and picture of his daughter and one of a gentleman. In DeWolowskis handwriting on the picture of the gentleman was the following:

 1 My last kiss for the while, praying to the holy | father. God bless you, am dying:
