April, the mercury rising to 900 each day

the grain crops, though they agree in the
opinion that summer-follow will make
fair crop without more rain, while the

PresIdentiaI Bug.
CHICAGO, June 11th.-Congressma S. V.
White, of Brooklyn, was at the Grand Pa
cific might. He says that Chauncey NJ
Depew's name will be presented to the
Convention, and on the first ballot he will
no doubt receive the full vote of New
York.
Representatives of five Presidential
booms are in the city tonight. Alger and
Allison's agents, who were the
first on the ground, were reinforced
early by Sherman's proxy, and tonight
was added spokesman for Harrison. The
politicians from abroad are making the ac-
quaintance of Judge Gresham, who re-
sides at the Palmer House. His supporters
held another meeting tonight and num-
Der of speeches were made.
AT Allisons headquarters there is quite
a group OF lowans. j. S. Clarkson, Chair
man OF the Iowa delegation, and member
of the Republican National Committee, ex-
presses the opinion that the contest is mar
rowing down 10 three men, one of them
being Senator Allison.
Senator Harrison's interests are being
looked after by Charles T. Griffin, Indiana's
Secretary of State. He said: Thurman
is playing into the hands of Harrison. 1t
makes Indiana more than ever doubtful
State. The people of Indiana want Har-
rison. They are not hostile to Gresham,
but Harrison is their choice, aud every del
egaie is pledged to Lis support Just as long
a. there IS L cnance TO Will"
W. s. Cappelan, Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Committee of Ohio, champions
the cause of Sherman. He says: I'VE do
not put Sherman forward because Thur
man is to be feared, but because he is the
strongest in the field. AS for Thurman,
his nomination is not strong one in
Ohio"
Frank J. Decker and George H. Hopkins
are in the interest OF Alger. They are
jubilant over the expressions of Patrick
Egan and other Irish Americans, favoring
Alger in preference to Gresham. Decker
hints that other surprises are in store.

indications, Alger's agents hope to divide

New York WOman's Method of Keep
ing Down the Surplus,

New YORK, June 11th.-The Customs
Agent and Collector Magone are exercised
over the alleged discovery of smuggling on
an extensive scale by Mrs Rose Ludvigh, a
fashionable dressp iaker of Fourteenth
street. She makes gowns for actresses and
many people OF note, and her patrons fre-
quently have Paris made costumes received
through her. Last year her brother, Maui
rice Desseidorf, who is in business in Paris.
visited her here, and the two returned to
Europe in the fall, the dressmaker with q
large order from customers for Worth cos
tunes. While st the French Capital she
perfected a clever scheme for evading the
duty on the dresses, most of which were
seized to-day by the Collectors agents.
When the costumes were prepared Mrs
Ludvigh went to Miss Bessie Montour Of
this city, who was studying elocution in
London, and induced her to return as an
actress with the Worth costumes as her
wardrobe, and herself as Miss Montour's
maid. In that way the dresses were passed
duty free on the usual declarations. Many
OF the gowns are now being worn, their
owners innocent of the manner of their
importation, and these are likely not to be
seized. Miss Montour has returned to
London to pursue her studies. The entire
importation is valued at $4,000

How Young Sinclair Met his Death in

BANGOR (Me.), June 11th.-The mystery
OF the mail car murder is gradually be-
ing cleared up. Hayes is reported to have
said that sudden quarrel came up be-
tween Sellins and Sinclair about handling
some mail at Waterville, and both men
were exceedingly angry. Hard names
were called by each man, and blows fol-
lowed. They were quarreling in front of the
sorting table. Suddenly, in fit of ungov-
ernable rage, Selllns seized a large knife
which was used by the head clerk in cut
ting twine, and made plunge at Jerry
Sinclair, burying it deep in the side of his
breast. Sinclair was unconscious in few
moments.
They took him over to the mail-bags
and laid him down. After the train started
Seilins threw the knife away and this after
noon it was found.
Hayes saw the stabbing plainly, but it
occurred so quickly that he was powerless
to act.

r. I. Scott, Teller of the Manhattan Com
pany, fled to England in 1885, having en-
bezzed about $l50,000. Subsequently he
made sworn statement that he had in
trusted the greater part of the stolen money
with his brother-in-law, Dunn, who is a
lawyer by profession. Dunn has been in
the Ludlow-street Jail the last ten months.
In opening the case for the people, it was
contended that Dunn did not advise Cashier
Scott as lawyer, but as friend, and that
the proper mode of procedure, when he
found he could not makego his shortage,
was to steal enough to cripple the bank and
force settlement with the Manhattan
Bank Directors. If the testimony bears out
this assertion of the District Attorney, it
Will show that when Scott faltered, the
lawyer egged him to rob to the extent of
an even million dollars.
