ONE MORE BROKEN PILLAR. Death Reveals . Costly Betrayal ,
 TFnaf.

SYRACUSE, Aug. 25.-Judge Israel S. Spen-
 cer, widely known resident of this city,
 who was for many years we'll known so-
 journer at Saratoga and at the Fifth Avenue
 Hotel in New York, died very suddenly in
 his office on the afternoon of March 13. He
 was estimated to be worth $150, 900, and held
 in trust large number of estates, the Gates
 Brinkerhoff estate of Chittenango, Madison county, being one of them. His only son died in Paris in 1889 and he left his proper ty to his wife, who died very suddenly in New York city last June Persons who have lately had occasion to ascertain the facts are surprised to find that there is absolutely nothing in his own estate, and that at least 1000 of the estates held in trust by him cannot be accounted for. About two years before his death Judge Spencer converted about $5O, 900 of choice real estate in this city into money, and this is nowhere to be found. It is supposed that unfortunate ventures in stocks ac- count for the fact that he died poor and a debtor to property which he held in trust. He enjoyed for many years the reputation of being an extremely prudent man and locally he was famous for his supposed skill in all matters pertaining to the making of wills and the closing of estates. He visited Europe and Egypt in 1868, attracting attention on his return by his lecture on Egypt, and gen tle1nen in this city are aware that before starting out on this trip a careful inven Cory of his personal property alone netted $100,- Spencer was 8 veritable pillar in the First Presbyterian church of this city, and the in- formation regarding the condition of his es- tate shocks all who knew him.

 Hut No Conference Held Yet With the Railroad Officials.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Great secrecy was observed today as to the movements of mem- bers of the executive board of the Knights of Labor who have arrived in this city from the South. Alexander Smiley, master workman in this jurisdiction, was found at his case in the composing room of one of the daily pa- Pers. Il know nothing officially" he said, Ion this subject, and if did I would not feel justified in giving it to the public. We are secret body working for our mutual wei fare and it is the part of wisdom to keep our own counsels. I will state generally that the Knights do not encourage strikes where they can possibly be avoided We have had too many foolish strikes in which labor has been the sufferer. Our desire is to have labor and capital come together and consult as to the rights of each so that all differences may be settled by arbitration"
 At the Wabash offices it was stated that no visit had been received from labor dele gates though it was believed that a confer ence with the railroad officials would take place this evening or tomorrow. The mem bers of the executive board who are entrust- ed with the adjustment of the railroad trou- bles are Messrs. Powderly of Scranton, Fur ner of Philadelphia, Buchanan of Denver, Hayes of New Jersey and Bailey of Shawnee, Ohio. Thes0gentlemen had a conference in MT. Powderly's room at the Astor House this afternoon. Nothing could be learned except that the southwestern strike was the subject of discussion. MT. Powderly left at o'clock and returned at 3. He refused to be inter- viewed. Inquiry at Jay Gould's office elicited the fact that no conference had been had there with labor delegates MT.
