The steamship Carondolet, said to be owned
by the Mallory line, and which was seized in
New York Wednesday for violating the neutral
ity laws, is stll in custody, and is likely to re-
main in possession of the government for sew
eral weeks to come. United States Marshal
Holmes estimates the vessels value, together
with her cargo, at s250.0OO. The only way for
the owners to secure her release is TO file bonds
That course would take months to dispose Of
1t Is not believed that the officer will adopt
this method. as the evidence submitted by Mr..
Preston, the Hayden minister to show that the
vessel had contraband goods of war destined
for Hippolytes north Haytien army, is very
convincing. The penalty for this offense Il
confiscation. and one-fourth of the money OBJ
tanned from the sale Of the vessel goes to the
informer, at the discretion Of the Judge, and
the remainder to the United States govern
ment. The vessel has on board several cases

his application for permission of the health
officer to remove the dead bodies from the Ebe-
nezer and Union Beneficial cemeteries in South

A Queer Government Depository.

YOUNG WOMAN CARRYING THE RECEIPTS OF A
PosT-oFFICE IN HER DRESS POCKETS.
A dispatch from North Creek, N. Y. Febru-
airy Z, says: A government post-ofice inspector
has been here investigating Postmaster Shee-
hams accounts, it being alleged that he was a
defaulter. His accounts were really short
$1,000, which he has to-day made good. The
investigation disclosed peculiar state of af-
fairs. Postmaster Sheehan left the Office in
charge of his daughter. When it was found
the Office was short in its accounts an official
came here and looked over the books. The
books showed that the money had been re-
ceived. He was surprised and asked where the
money was. He was astounded when the girl
took the money from her dress pocket and
said: Why, here it is" Instead OF sending il
to Washington when it was received she let
the money accumulate, and intended to for
ward it in bulk
Ibid you not think il dangerous to have that
amount Of money in the safe?" inquired the
representative of the government.
YES" was the reply; 80 l carried it in my
dress pocket all the time"
The young woman had attended balls and
parties, but never for a moment thought that
she was taking any chances. and perhaps she
wasn't. Everything was Strengthened out salts
factorily, but the postmaster was cautioned to
more strict compliance with the regulations

opinion that the vaults of the Treasury was a
safer place to keep government money than q

Boston Special to the New York World. Feb. z.
The legislative committee to-day gave hear
ing to the order Of Representative Mccall pro-
hibiting the improper use of money at cleo
tions or conventions. Mr.. Mccall said the i'm
proper use Of money at elections had reached
such proportions that o class Of men had arisen
whose chief business 1t was to aid in securing
nominations and elections, and who made their
living out Of politics. The reports of the use
OF money in the recent national elections were
simply amazing, and while it would be great
strain upon the credulity of anybody to believe
them all. no one would probably deny that
each Of the two great parties spent far more
money than in any previous national election,
and that the expenditure was out OF all proper
ton to any honest need
