CHICAGO, March 13-A few days
ago the police were notified that
detective was wanted at house

and in a miserable tenement found woman
Of apparently refined and cultured nature
who told them o strange story. She OK
planned that there existed an
organization amongst certain hotel employees
which made business OF system at cally
robbing hotels and their guests. She gave
the name of n man with whom she was
living, Frank Emmett, as one of the gang
The police found him to he a trusted watch
man at the Sherman house. He and the other
employees of that hotel have been arrested,
aud steps are being taken to hunt down
the thieves in other large hotels here, who
include both male and female help. Several
wagon loads of goods have been recovered
from various places, including all classes Of
hotel linen, table ware, guests clothing, etc
The woman who gave the first information to
the police gave her name as Mrs. James w.
Murry, and tells romantic story of
her life. Her maiden nnmo she claims was
Kerns, and she was the dauhgter of one
time lord mayor of Dublin. She was edu-
Gated in the finest manner abroad and her
mother and several sisters are living now
in England. She was married in 1859 to
James W. Murray, then wealthy shoe
dealer in Limerick, In the second
wear of their marriage they came to Phila-
dephia, where he is now a member of a large
manufacturing firm. They did not get along
we'll together and she left him, after which
he procured divorce on the grounds of
desertion. During a long period of Illness in
New York she was befriended by Emmett,
who was her only friend and since her re-
covery has been living with him. She would
have married him but for the fact that, as a
q catholic she is still the wife of Muiry.
Pride prevented her from making her un-
fortunate condition known to her relatives.

When Hon. Thomas Patterson arose to
make the final appeal for his fair client
hundreds of eyes. were riveted upon him
and every ear was strained to- catch his
words. He never made grander appeal,
and as he tenderly alluded to the suffer-
ings endured by the patient, loving
wife, tears ran from the eyes of
many ladies', while others sobbed aloud.
A number of the jurors, too, wept
unrestraineuly. AT A O'Clock the jury re-

Still Raging iu Washington.

WAsHINGToN, March 13.-The fierce wind
storm which struck Washington last Satur-
day night has continued uninterrupted since
that time and shows no signs of abatement.
The day has been cloudless, but the force
and iciness of the wind kept indoors all ex-
cept those who were compelled to brave it.
The work done yesterday in the way of re-
pairing telegraph wires leading to the city
and clearing the distractions from the rail
road tracks was, to n large extent, undone
by the wind of last night and to-day. A
force of linemen between Philadelphia and
Washington removed from the railroad
tracks 700 telegraph poles. The cutoff be-
tween this city and New York seems TO be
hopeless for the present at least, and there
appears TO be no chance. of re-establishing
communications so long as the weather con
tnues so severe Telegraph. men state that
the wreck of the lines is the worst they have
ever known. The railroad situation is prac7
tically unchanged since yesterday.
b. Three trains arrived tonight from Phlla-
delphia, after a long. and hard trip. No
trains have arrived from New York since the
one which came in yesterday. AT the signal
office it is said the present storm is un.
precedented since the origin of the signal
service, The temperature to-day is lower
than ever before known at this season of the

A New Line of Action.

CHICAGO, March ia meeting attended
by representatives, of the grievance committee
from each road leading east from Chicago
was held at McCoy's hotel Extreme secrecy
marked the proceedings, and after the ses-
sion the thirty or forty men present refused
to answer any inquiries whatever. Chief
Arthur's headquarters at the Grand
Pacific were totally deserted all
evening, and were left unlighted. The
belief was expressed by a group of
railway officials tonight that the brother
hood has adopted new line of action against
which legal proceedings will not avail. The
idea is that that the grievance committees
will ostensibly assent to the requests of con-
Meeting lines that 80" freight will be
handled. When the test comes, however,
the engineers, one after another, will abso-
lutely decline to touch "Qn car. This in
