Liability of Married Woman for Debts.


WASHINGTON, April ia decision was
rendered by the supreme court of the United
States to-day in the case of Frances Dodge
ct al, appellants, against Thomas Knowles,
which presents the question of the liability
of a married woman for certain debts con-
tracted by her husband nominally as her
trustee. The court holds that neither the
liability for provisions supplied at dwelling
house where a husband and wife and
their children are living together,
nor a promissory note given by
the husband describing himself as
trustee for the wife in payment for such sup
plies, can be charged in equity upon the wife's
separate estate, without clear proof that she
contracted the debt in her own behalf or in
tended TO bind her separate estate for its pay
meut. The decree of the court below is re-
versed and the case remanded with directions
to dismiss the bill.
Decisions were also rendered in the tax
case of the Gloucester, Pa, Ferry company,
and in the Bridgeport Steamboat com pany.
The chief justice notified the bar that the
court would adjourn for the term of May z,
and will hear no arguments after April "a.

Internal Revenue Collectors.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-In view of what
appears on the surface to be an indisposition
or unnecessary delay on the part oflhe ad-
ministratiou in making changes in the force
of internal revenue collectors, it is proper to
state that the necessities of the service require
shat the collection of special taxes which
become due on the 1st of May, should be made
by the present force. This collection should
undoubtedly occupy the entire month of
May, and Secretary Manning and Commits
sioner Miller are both disposed to allow the
collectors in good standing the privilege of
settling their accounts to the close of the
general fiscal year ending June 80 next.
During the ensuing month of June the COM
missioner of internal revenue viii determine
the amount of allowance to be made to
various collectors for the expenses OF their
collection districts. The number of depu-
ties and the pay of the same, which will
hinge upon the possible consolidation
and changes of districts as they now
exist. Commissioner Miller will make special
effort to reduce the expenses of the internal
revenue department TO the lowest practicable
sum, and to that end it is possible that
several districts will be consolidated, and the
services of their collectors dispensed with.
There will be few If any changes at present
in the force of internal revenue agents, but
in proper time this branch OF service will be
thoroughly organized.
Gen. Sewen, the present supervising rev.
euue agent stationed at Washington, viii
doubtless be superseded BY an incumbent
specially chosen By Commissioner Miller.

IMPLORING HELP,

Great excitement prevails. No one had
been rescued at O'Clock and it is feared that
at least three men are dead. The
burners which fell with the men are
about 100 feet high and 30 feet
across. The men were inside, about thirty
feet from the ground, repairing the brick
walls. when their scaffolding gave way and
brought down the mass of bricks and lum Der
upon them. Most of the men have families,
who are anxiously waiting around the ruins.

LATER PARTICIPANTS.

There were seven men in the burner
which fell in this afternoon, the seventh
being unknown by name. Five were
killed outright, Biddle, Mitchell,
Maynard and Hardwichk, and
the unknown. Fulton was severely burned
and fatally injured, and Carbon, aged II,
marvelously escaped any serious injury.
Nearly all those killed were mangled beyond
recognition. The last man was taken from
the ruins at 9 o'clock. The terrible affair
has cast gloom over the whole town. A
gang of men will work all night to remove
the remaining debris in search for others
who may possibly be in the ruins.

LONDON. February 5.-The Morning
Post combats the position taken by
John Bright on the question of British
imperial federation. The Post urges a
closer knitting of Canada with England,
to insure the protection of England's
increasing commerce in the China seas
against possible encroachments by
France and Russia. Containing, the
paper says, England has no territory in
the Pacific region and aspires to none.
The completion of the Canadian Pacific
railway will provide England with a
new route to Hong Kong, occupying
but little over a month, sixteen days
less than the Suez canal route. The
new route would enable England to
land troops in China at least ten days
in advance of troops starting at the
same time from Marseilles, or Russian
troops from Odessa. In the event of
the Suez canal falling into hostile hands,
Canada might even send 20, 900 or 30 900
men, which she could easily spare in an
emergency, in twenty-five days. All
depends upon the cultivation of good
feeling between Canada and England
