Improvements Will Continue Yet AwhIe'
Exports.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. March l2.-Not-
witbstanding the failure Of Congress to
make appropriations fer rivers and harbors
the engineers in charge of improvements
will he able TO continue work for some time.
OF the fourteen millions appropriated at
the close of the first session OF the last Con-
gress there was about nine million balance
in the treasury in the latter part OF Febru-
ary. This appropriation was not made un-
iii July 1884 and it was not until August 1t
was available. At that time but a short
period remained during which work could
be accomplished. Especially was this the
case in the north. A considerable portion
of the nine millions will be used
in contracts which have been made and un-
der which contractors will work the coming
season. In the bill which passed both
houses of Congress last year there was a
clause providing that engineers in charge
of improvements on Portland, KY, St.
Msry's, Mich, and Des MoineS, Ia, canals,
should draw upon the Treasury, through
the Secretary OF War, for operating expenses
and repairs without reference to any appro'
priation. This will enable officers in charge
of these improvements to continue work
without hindrance.
Officers in the engineer department ofthe
army say the Mississippi river will be the
greatest sufferer, because OF the failure OF
Congress to make an appropriation. There
was available at the beginning OF the pres
ent year but about S500,O0O for continuing
improvements on that river Other i'm
provements to suffer will be those whose
rapid completion is necessary. VI the
money appropriated now on hand IS sutil'
cient sum to preserveimprovements, and uu'
til another appropriation is made 1t will be
reserved wherever possible.

NEWARK, n. j., March l2.-Ex-Secretsry

in this city yesterday. He had come directly
from Washington to Newark, and was found
comfortably seated in his library by repor-
ter to-day, who called to pay his respects. As
he went on carefully asserting collection Of
papers, he courteously, but firmly, declined
to be interviewed at any considerable length
on the subject ofpoitics. He, however, ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in the integ.
rity of the new administration. While Of
his successor he spoke in the kindest and
most complimentary terms. He referred to
his long and intimate acquaintance with
Secretary BaYard and paid glowing tribute
to the latter fitness for the position he has
been called upon to occupy. Mr.. Frellng-
huysen expects to remain in Newark indeh-
nitely and as soon as some routine matters
in connection with his retirement from the
State department are disposed of, he will
devote himself to the law practice which he
abandoned to accept position in the Cabi'
net OF the late administration

robbed Of her diamond earrings, gold watch
and chain, rings and pocket book, which
contained SIS in bills and some small change.
On the road between the north side and
Cohoes there is q. small strip Of woodland
which is the resort Of tramps. Here several
robberies have occurred Of late, the authori-
ties failing to capture the perpetrators Of the
crimes. Women have been waylaid and

not safe for any one to walk along the road
without company. 1t was 3 o'clock when
Miss Emerson left school with number of
her companions, who left her at the cross.

the place where she was attacked. When
she reached the centre Of the woods two
yillainous looking men jumped out from be-
hind the trees, one Of them seizing her
about the waist while the other began to
strangle her. The tramps then dragged
her into the woods. The brave girl
fought fercely 10 free herself, and at
last, after biting one Of the rascars hands,
she was able to cry for help. One OF the
tramps then delt her fearful blow on the
head with his fist which knocked her sense
less. They then stripped her Of her valua-
bles, but before they could do more some
men from the factories in Cohoes, who were
passing along the road and heard the girls
cries, rushed into the woods. The tramps
saw them, and letting 60 Of their victim
rushed off toward Troy before the men
reached the spot where the insensible girl
was lying. The men picked Miss Emerson
up and carried her TO neighboring farm
house A search party was organized, but
up TO this time they have been unable to
find any trace of the trsmps. Miss Emer.
son was taken to her fathers house and is
quite i'll. Her clothes we're torn when
found and her face was scratched. There
is great excitement over the assault, ard if
the men are captured the chances are they
will be lynched.
