and Squalor.
Special TO the Globe.

cpeSln 10 lue OlOoe.
ROCHESTER,, y. Y, March 10.-1Trs.
Elizabeth Emerson has lived in Rochester
over thirty years, formerly at hotel, where
she was noticeable as an intelligent and at
tractive woman. Then she bought house,
shut her self in. kept aloof from everybody,
even the church. and became the myste y
Of her neighbOrhoOd. She never went out,
except for necessities. She lived in squalOr,
and her garments were filthy. Three weeks
ago she fell i'll. but would allow no one TO
assist her. By accident her condition
was discovered by her neighborS. who
sent a nurse to care for her. but she
would have driven the woman away
had she not been too weak. She died two
days since. The fact has just come to light
that this remarkable woman was worth
about $50, 900. She left will, drawn by
herself, devising 500. 900 TO the Presbyter-
ian benevolent societies and the remainder
to the children and grandchildren of Rev.
DIR. Eastman of Smithsville, Ont. whose
daughter, il is said. she was. She was
twice married, her first husbands name be-
ing Gilbert. The executors named are
Charles V. Pond of this city and G. q.
Clark of New York. secretary of the Amer
lean Express company. Mrs. Emerson
left note also, stating that she had no
child, sister or brother, father or mother
living.

New YORK, March 1O.-ln 1871 Gus
tav George Wolfram came TO this city from
Cincinnati and opened a railroad and steam
ship ticket Office and collection agency. He
made money rapidly until he formed the
acquaintance of Gustav Silberberg. who in
duced him to invest between $50, 900 and
$40, 600 in the glass sign business in ''ac-
commOdation" notes and in Wall street
speculation. These ventures proved disas-
trOus. and Silberberg committed suicide a
short time ago. On Saturday Wolfram alb
seconded and is now supposed TO be in Can
ada. His liabilities are about $40, 900 and
his assets SIS, 900 to 81. 900. 1t is supposed
that he took about 81, 900 in cash with him.
His two chief clerks have arranged to 20

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Cold Water Thrown on the Seney
Repeal Bill.

WASHINGTON, March 1O.-The house
committee on civil service reform, Mr..
Pulitzer, chairman, makes the following
report, Mr.. Stone of Missouri alone dissent
ing:
Your committee states that the Seney bill,
instead Of either improving or enlarging the
scope of the present simply provides for the
unconditional and absolute repeal. They
report adversely, and ask that the bill lie upon
the table for the following further reasons:
First-rhe principle of divorcing the subor-
dinate offices of the government from politics
and elections, and making the term of Office
depend, not upon party service but upon
moral and good behavior, is a good one. So
far as this principle is sustained by the pres
eut law the committee think there should be
no change.
Second-The present law has not been on
the statute books long enough to have had a
full and complete trial. If for no other
reason than this, the committee viii oppose
any measure providing for an absolute re-
peal.
Third-No reason or information has been
presented to this committee justifylng an un-
conditional repeal of the present law. 1t may,
perchance, need improvement, but the
remedy is amendment, not total repeal.

city which are most largely occupied by
workingmen were placarded last night with
incendiary appeals to the unemployed.

prosecute Deputy Basby. representative
of the wOrkingmen. and NJ. Quercy. the ed
itOr of a Socialist newspaper, for having in

Short over $4,000.

VNcENNEs, Ind, March 10.-County
Treasurer Hollinsworth is short in his ae-
counts SIS, 27S.3 80. Everybody is dunn
founded and mortified at this gigantic ex-
pose. HOllinsworth was prosperous and
wealthy farmer when he took hold of the
treaSurer's Office. What he has done with
this immense sum of money puzzles every
body. The conjecture is that it has been
squandered in marginal gambling, and in a
woman affair. over which HolllnswOrth has
had one suit in court. EX-County Treas
urer w. W. Berry has been installed in
charge Of the Office.

British Seamen want Redress.

LONDON, March 10.-A procession Of
British seamen marched from the docks to
the city this afternoon to make demon
stration against the government for neglect
ing to take steps towards relieving trade Of
its depresSions. They behaved in an or
derly manner, and were loudly cheered
along the route. They carried a great num-
Der of banners, some of which bore the in
scrlptiOn, British labor is sacrificed in the
interest of foreign labor" etc. The pro-
cesSiOn attracted much attention and the
streets through which it passed were filed
with people. For a time there was some
excitement caused by a fear that some
rOughs and rOwdies might use the occasion
to reproduce the scenes of the Trafalgar
square riots. When the seamen reached
the city they proceeded to the neighbor-
hood of the board of trade rooms where
they held a meeting. At this they ap-
pointed committee to wait upon Mr.. A. J.
Mundela, president of the board of trade.
and urge the necessity of such changes in
the free-trade policy of the government as
might be necessary to revive the foreign
and domestic trade of the empire

The Chamois Money Belt Lost.

ST. LOUIS, March 1O.-An important
factor in the evidence in the case against
II. NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, the alleged
murderer of Charles Arthur Preller, has
disappeared. The lost link is the chamois
money belt which Preller wore Just pre-
vious TO his death. and which was after
wards found in one of Maxwelrs trunks.
The belt had been cut from the body, and
the shape of the incision corresponded eN-
actly with the shape of a pair of surgical
scissors also found among Maxwelrs pos
sessions. All efforts TO recover the lost
article have thus far been fruitless.

ST. Louis, March lot is authorita-

pany will attempt to resume freight traffic
tomorrow. The order of Supt Kerrigan,
herewith presented, applies to all the strik-
ers on the system, and they have all along
the line OF the road withdrawn quietly from
the company's premises. Kerrigan's order
is as follows:
You are hereby notified that your action in
Withdrawing from the emplOymeuto OF the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railway company was volun-
tary abandonment of the service of the COM
pany, and that you are no longer in its en-
ployment, and that your names have been
stricken from its rolls. All such who are now
about the companys premises are hereby
notified that they must Immediately leave the
same TO the end that this company may re-
sumo the traffic Of the country.
wM. KERRIGAN.
RESISTANCE EXPECTED.
The company Is supposed 10 be employ
ing men to take the places of the strikers.
Resistance to the running of trains is eX-
pected. 1t is impossible to transfer freight
from the east side of the river or vice versa,
and freight business is practically suS-
pended. Merchants are loud in their COM
plants and fear business will be perma-
nently diverted from St. Louis. Passenger
traffic is not interfered with. No disturb
ances of any kind have occurred here. New
engineers employed at Fort Worth were
forced to vacate their cabs and the strikers
''kiiled" their engines. Reports come from
Chicago that there will be no strike on the
Northwestern road. as predicted last night;
also that Chicago merchants do not COM
plain OF any delay in delivering goods. The
knights at Marshall, Tex, call upon all en-
plOyes connected with the railroads in this
strike to lend their aid in driving convict
and Chinese labor from the roads.
BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
Dispatches from points on the Missouri
and Kansas roads are to the effect that the
strikers are observing perfect quiet and no
disturbances have occurred. They remain
firm in their determination TO force the
railroad companies to accept their demands,
but as the strike proceeds do not express
such great confidence that this will be the
result as they did when they first ceased
work. The railroad officials at different
points are reticent but seem as confident
and determined as their striking employees.

of judges of the United States. This is now

Thurman sent that order or request to the

only by and with the advise and consent OF
the senate. This was a case requiring the
