A 100000 DUKE.
Miss Isabelle Blanche Singer to Marry
Penniless French Nebleman.

MISS ISaDelle bianCuc Sih8OA W 4sA"AAy .
Penniless French Nebleman.
New York, March 30.--David Hawley,
executor of the estate of Isaac M. Singer, re-
ceived a letter from Isabelle Blanch Singer,
who is in Paris, asking him to request the
courts to allow her the sum of $50, GOO to
meet the expenses of her coming mar iage
with the Due de Cazes.
Miss Singer is one of the six children of
Isaac Singer, he sewing machine maIufac-
turer. by his third and latest surviving wife.
He died in England in 1875, leaving for
tune of about SIS, ,G00, 900 and three wives.
There was a contest over the estate, which
was finally ended in decision that the third
was his lawful wife and entitled to the
money. She is now the Duchesse de Cam
poselice and has resided In Paris with her
dau ghter Isabelle since 1879.
Miss Singer is nineteen years old and is to
be married on April 25. Due de Cazes be-
longs to one of the oldest families of France,
but has no fortune. Miss Singer is WORTH
however, about 81 SOC, 900, which, Mr. Haw-
ley says, sis set apart for her sole and
separate use, free from the interference or
control of any husband she may marry"
Her willingness to pay the marriage ex-
penses, however. is taken up as an indica-
ton by her friends in this city that she
will not let her husband want for pocket
money

Where Is the Lancaster =?

New YORK, March 30.-The Tribune's
Washington special says the fact that the
man-o war Lancaster aaS not been heard
from in some time is beginning to attract at
tention. The Lancaster left Montev1deo
January II last for Gibraltar where she was
to join the Mediterranean squadron. 1t was
expected that the voyage would take fifty
days, though a reasonable time beyond that
period would not have been remarkable
But yesterday was the seventieth day since
she started. Provisions were taken for
ninety days. Prior to leaving Montevideo
the Lancaster's boilers were in such bad con-
dition that they could not be used, and it
was expected that most of the voyage woul
have to be made under sail She may have
stopped at st. Helena, which is cut off from

MIR. .ARTHURINTERVIEWED
IN REGARD TO THE STRIKERS DE-
SERTlNG THEIR LEADERS.

lie Knows Nothing of 1t if Such is the
Case-switchmen From the East Taking
the Burlington Strikers Places--Cincin-
natl Observation-Disclosures Troubles
CHICAGO, March 30-Referring to the
statement that the strikers had cut loose
from tho leaders and their grievance COM
mittees. Chief Arthur said this morning
'The statement that they have done SO is a
base falsehood There is not word of truth
u itn
''Have the impulsive ones become impa-
tient over what is called your slow and ap-
parently unsuccessful methodist
'sThere is not a word of truth in such a
rumor. The grievance committee represent
ing two systems have unanimously indorsed
the action of the grand chief all the way
through"
at is said that every road running into
Chicago has been visited by committees ap-
pointed by the radicals, and that pledges
have been obtained from all the switchmen
and switch engineers, that under no circum-
stance will they move Burlington car"
~ am not aware Of any such move. If it
has been made it is unbeknown to me.n
STRIKERS are quoted as saying that an in
flexible boycott has been established against
Burlington cars, and that they were positive
not a Burlington car would be moved to-day
except on Burlington tracks"
Il don't believe the members of the Broth
erhood will do anything contrary to the laws
of the organization or not endorsed by me"
Thirty-nine switchnen, said to be Reading
men, arrived last night from Philadelphia,
to take positions with the Burlington road.
Forty-six additional switchmen, also from
the Reading and New York district, came
over the Lake Shore road These were
taken to the yards and the Western avenue
round house, where they remained over
night. Among those that came were nine
teen from the New York Central road, and
few from the Boston & Albany and the
Fitchburg. The remainder were from the
Reading, and one of them said that there
were i50 more ready to come whenever sum-
moned.
The Burlington company received informa-
ton this morning that fifty of their switch
men at Creston, Iowa, quit work. Their
places are reported to have been filled by
conductors and brakemen

was very quiet, not a striker was visible in
that portion of the yards. The belief that
Pinkerton men are unnecessary and super
fiuous, in view of the fact that the strikers
have not yet manifested the slightest dispo-
sition to interfere with the new switchmen,
is beginning to be entertained. 1t looks as
though the strikers were not to be judged by
the conduct of switchmen in previous strikes,
and that they rely upon other means than
violence to carry their point.

Didn't Consult Him.
Montgomery Advertiser.

Montgomery Advertiser
The bill which passed the House of
Representatives requiring Judge Toul
min to hold the United States Courts in
Mobile and Montgomery, and Judge
Bruce to preside at Birmingham and
Huntsville, has come to a standstill in
the Senate. The bill has the unanimous
support of the Alabama Senators and
Representatives, who think it would be
better distribution of judicial labors
than the present arrangement, whereby
Judge Toulmin holds one court and
Judge Bruce three. The Selma Times
says: "It is reported that some opposi-
ton is being manifested to this measure,
by court officials in Montgomery, but it
is difficult to understand WHY opposi.
ton should exist from any source" The
opposition to the bill, as We understand,
comes from Judge Bruce himself, who
claims that the bill was surprise to
him and that in no manner, shape OF
form, was he consulted about it. The
bill would undoubtedly relieve him of
one third of his judicial labors, but his
friends feel aggrieved at the introduction
of the measure into the House without
his knowledge. The Republican Sena.
tors will probably make party question
out of it and thus defeat the bill.
