the watchkey. AT the request of the gov
eruor Joel described the interior Of
the watchkey which he had re-
naired for Cluverius, and after
ward opened il in the presence
of the governor. His description tailed ex-
aCtIy with the interior OF the watch key. At
the trial the commonwealth asked that the
key be opened by joel. but counsel for the
defense objected. Tais was, perhaps, the
strongest point in the evidence aggInst the

PrOp0Ned nv The 0Mferees.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The conferees on
the interstate commerce bill finished Their
labors this morning and will report their bill
as soon as it can be pr Hted. On the question
OF enforcing the act the commission feature
of the senate is accepted by the house con-
ferees, while the senate contereeS accept the
system proposed in the Reagan bill under
W nicn the shipper is entitled 10 sue for DAM
ages in United Sta rs courts in his own be-
half. This gives shippers the option OF max
ing complaint to the commission
or inSlituting suits in federal
courts. Railroads are prohibited from
cha ging more for short than for longer
distance upon their own lines In the same
direction, but the commits ioa is authorized
upon application OF a rail- ,ad, and after in
vestlgation Of the facts, to relieve the roads
from the operation of gene al rule in special
cases; the senate conferees agree to the az
solute prohibition OF pools contained in the
bill. These were the main .eatures of differ
ence OF the question of pu licity OF rates.
The provisions OF the two bills have been
merely so as TO require each railroad to make
public the rates between ,ints upon its
own road, as proposed in the aouse bill, and
in addition the commission is 'equired TO Sc
cure publicity of through rates in SO far as it
may be found necessary.

The Northwe.lern pool.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-Not being able to agree
upon the question of putting the Milwaukee
local business into the Northwestern passen-
ger pool. the members to-day brought uD the
question of the division of percentage. All
the roads were in favor of arbitration except
the Rock Island, which hung out on the per-
centages being based upon the amount OF
business done for the past three years. As
there was no pool during that time, and the
Rock Island received a large amount OF the
second-ciass business, as it's competitors
ella m, by paying heavy commissions for IT,
they objected TO this method of division
The percentages. as well as the Mi waukse
problem, were finally referred to u committee
OF managers consisting OF Messrs Potter,
HughiLt, Cable, jeffrey. Newman. Smith and
Miller The meeting then adjourned subject
to the call Of the chairman.

AN INSURANCE FRAUD.
The southern eOple Swindl ed by a
smooth Scoundrel.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec. "a fraudulent
and bold insurance scheme. which has been
operating from this city with great success
for the last two years, came to light
to-day Charles Tresenreder was the man
at the head of the concern. He came from
GAINESVILLE, O., to Nashville in 1884, and,
claiming to represent the Standard Life In
surance association, opened an Office and
scattered circulars broadcast over all
the Southern states, with the exception
of Tennessee. Many of the circulars
bore the picture of large building
purporting to be occupied by the company,
but which is in no part of the city. The best
terms were offered TO agents and soon an inn
mense trade was built up. Tresenreder
dressed in the finest style. The author
tiles of the state have received
many letters and kilograms asking about
the company, but always stated they could
give no official information. Tresenreder
claimed that his company was of the mutual
kind and they were exempt from liens. A
short time ago two young men, the Drs.
Flood, from Clear Creek, N. c., who had in
sured with Tresenreder, came to this city,
inquired for the building, the cut of which
they had seen, and found there
was none such here. In the
meantime parties in North Carolina who held
a claim for $1,000 on a policy, had written to
Tresenreder to get the money. His response
was that the BOARD OF directors had not met
yet and ne could not act till they did.
This claim was sent to the Floods,
with instructions to collect it.
They hunted up Tresenreder, and, on his re-
fusing to pay over the policy or refund their
money, denounced him as fraud. The mat
ter was put in the hands of a lawyer, but
Teseureder skipped town as soon as
he heard of the proceedings against
hun, He has been receiving since,
bv each mail, piles of registered
etters which are delivered to his wife. A
man named Oneal, saying he W as a special
agent OF the Standard Life association at Ft.
Wayne, appeared here to-day, He said
Treseureder was humbug. The matter has
occasIoned much talk.

The Bulgarian Question.

CoNsTANTINOPLE, Dec. "a majority of
the powers have replied to the portes circu-
lar asking advice as to the solution of the
Bulgarian difficulty. The replies are all
either evasive or indefinite. Some of the
powers ask for further explanation, and none
throw any new light on the matter. The Earl
of Iddesleigh, British foreign minister, refers
the porte to 'Eugand's views on the Bull
garian situation previously expressed. Italy,
a little moro explicit, aludes to the alleged
difficulty the Bulgarisus must experience in
accepting Prince Nicholas. of Mi grelia. 1t
is now thought the porte will suggest the So
luton of the difficulty Italy refers to.
LONDON, Dec. 10.-The Chronicles Vienna
