AN ARMED WIDOW
VISITS NEW YORK IN SEARCH OF THE
GOLDEN FLEECE.
She Meets a Green Goods Man and Inspector
Byrne's Detectives Take Her ln-She Makes
Clean Breast Of Her Mission 10 the
Inspector and is Locked Up.

New YORK, November 9.-Mrs. An
gelina Elizabeth Conrad, of Brookville,
Broecken county, KY. has allowed her
self to be duped by the oily circulars of
the ''green goods" swindlers, in the be-
lief that with $500 of good money she
could come to the metropolis and buy
SO, 900 of counterfeit just as good as the
genuine. Inspector Byrnes' detectives
had been shadowing a man named Will
lard, whose picture is in the Rogues'
Gallery. They traced Willard, who is a
crook, to Newark, n. j., where he met
Mrs. Conrad, introducing himself by a
queer symbol figure on telegraph
blank, of which each carried copies.
The detectives followed the sharper and
his dupe to New York and arrested both
near the New York end of the Ferry.
At police headquarters when Mrs.
Conrad was introduced to Inspector
Byrnes last night she at first entertain
ed him by quoting from Holy writ, and
made the remark that she could never
tell lie. She is woman of about 40
years of age. She owns 20 acre farm,
has eight children, and has been a
widow ten years. Her character is de-
cisive, as was seen when 3s-calibre re-
volvcr was found concealed about her
person. She remarked she could take
care of herself. 1t was not till she had
been locked up all night that to-day
Mrs. Conrad made a clean breast of the
whole case to Inspector Byrnes. To-
morrow she will appear against Willard
at the Tombs Police Court.

THE IRISH FAMINE.
The American Committee Recalls Its Ap'
peal-The Reasons.

New YORK. November 9.-The Amer
lean committee for the relief of famine
in ireland issues a public statement say
ing. that the American committee for
the relief of famine in Ireland tempo
rarily withdraws its appeal TO the
American people. The statement also
says the developments OF the past month
have fully confirmed the warning OF inn
pending calamity put forth in the
American Committees appeal.
There has been provided the promise
at least of relief. The British Govern
ment has been spurred to investigate
and to undertake system OF public
works In the distressed districts which
by affording partial relief will at least
postpone the Invasion Of the demon OF
famine. The committee has good reason
for believing that the sudden activity
on the part of the British Government
Is largely due to the prompt sympathy
and support spontaneously offered from
this country, and the committee ac-
cordingly cOngratulates the American
people on having secured for the
sufferers In Ireland substantial hope
of relief without the expenditure of a
dollar. 1t is represented by the visiting
Irish ENJOYS that it would introduce an
interfering element into Irish politics If
aid in any shape should be sent to Ire
land by any charitable agency before
the present resources Of the imperilled
peasants were exhausted.
The crisis will come a about the close
of the year. 1t will then be apparent
whether the pledges Of the British gov
ernment are to be- kept, whether the re-
lief measures to be provided under its
auspices will be adequate. The COM
mittee will accordingly maintain its or
ganization so that it may act at once II
events require.

A CROOKS SPECIALITY.
He Was Employed as Switchman and
Stole From Cars.


Chicago, November 9.-It has devel-
oped to-day that the man giving his
name as Patrick Ford, who, together
with a man named Goodridge, was ar
rested last Sunday for breaking into
the Office of the Gutsch Brewing Com
pany, is one of the most notorious and
willy crooks of his kind in the country.
Yesterday lie was turned over to Sheriff
Noel, of Peoria county, who has been
wanting him badly for the last three
years.
Ford whose right name is William
Idom, was arrested at Peoria three years
ago for blowing open safe in the Office
of the Burlington road at that place. AS
the officers were taking him to Jail he
knocked one of them down, pushed an
other into Il cellarway and made his es-
cape. lie was afJerwuru found III St.
Louis, switching on one of the roads.
The railway officials determined to make
sure of their man, and a whole posse OF
detectives was sent out to capture him.
They found Idom on freight car,
which was standing on the river bank.
The detectives surrounded the car and
ordered him to throw up his hands. In
stead, he plunged into the Mississippi,
leaving the officers to empty their guns
into the river.
A few moths ago Idom came to Chi
cago ana entered the employ OF the
Northwestern road as switchman. Car
robberies became frequent, and j. W..
Norton, chief of detectives for the
Northwestern Company, began to sus-
that Idom was in it. He had been
been watching Idom's movements for
the past three weeks and finally arrest
ed him last Sunday for his connection
with the brewery burglary.
Chief Norton and the detectives OF
the other roads know considerable Of
Idom's history. He operated as crook
in London for years, graduating as a
burglar and safe blower from one OF the
thieves schools of that city. Coming
to this country he began operations in
the West under the guise of switch
man. The detectives say that ldom has
organized and trained gangs Of thieves
at every place they have found him.
He makes speciality of railroad robber-
les and is believed to have been the
leader in scores OF car robberics and
safe-b blowing operations in Chicago,
Kansas City, st. Louis and various
other placcs

-Messrs. Thomas G. Smith, Democratic
candidate for County Clerk; William p.
Rathbone, Democratic candidate for
Clerk Circuit Court and Thomas Quinn,
Democratic candidate for Legislature
pettioned the County Court yesterday
for 4 recount, alleging that Illegal votes
had been cast sufficient to count them
out. There is no doubt many fraudu-
lent votes were cast by the Republicans
in their desperate attempt to override
the will of the people and that upon in
vestigation several parties will find
themselves placed in an uneviable and
risky position.
In this city the prisoners at the Jail
were taken out and voted and COM
PEELED, it is alleged, to vote the Rcpub-
lican ticket by threats of return to the
Jail If they did not. A number of fraudu-
lent votes were cast not only here but
at other precincts, and rigid eXamina-
tion will be made. There is no doubt
that the Republicans of Tyler have been
manipulating the returns at several out

investigated.
The Republican average loss in this
county, compared with 'sS, is about 325.
Another trial and the county will be
Democratic. The Tariff and Force bills
and the outrageous actions of Republi-
cans in office, combined mith a general
dissatisfaction with the monopolistic
trusts, have, rs it was expected, COM
pleted the destruction of the Republican
party.

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Secretary Rusk Says that Everything In
His Line Is in Good Shape.

WASHINGTON, November 9.-The
Secretary Of Agriculture has presented
his annual report to the President. BY
comparing prices at Chicago for Octo-
ber 16, 1890 and Of 1889, he shows
marked increase in the values of agri-
cultural products, especially of cereals.
The Secretary asserts that without ig-
noring the effects Of natural causes in
enhancing values, it is evident that the
economic legislation OF the last session
of Congress has directly benefited the
farmers, the improved values of cereals,
as he believes, being largely due to the
silver legislation.
He declared that not single case OF
contagious pleuro-pneumonia has been
alleged to exist among American cattle
shipped to British ports since March
last, and strongly recommends an in
spection law still more comprehensive
Of all animals slaughtered for Inter-
State or foreign trade.
The outlook for home industry is
considered favorable. Analysis of beets
grown in various States indicate high
per cent. of sugar.
The Secretary announces the estab-
lishment of three natural sugar expert
ment stations, devoted one each to cane,
sorghum and beat sugar.
In the Bureau of Animal Industry ar
rangements have been perfected for n
dairy revision.
The production Of raw silk as an in
digenous industry is referred to in not
very encouraging terms.
Encouraging words are spoken with
reference to the flax culture, Secretary
Rusk believing that the recent changes
in the tariff on linens, will serve to en-
courage the manufacture of homegrown
flax.
Reference is made to the forthcoming
transfer of the weather bureau to the
Department Of Agriculture with a
declaration Of the Secretary's desire TO
widen the present scope of the bureau
so as to increase its benefits to Agricul-
ture.
In concluding his report he says: "a
careful review of the events of the past
year and general survey Of the Agri-
cultural field to-day betokcn marked
improvements in the condition of our
agriculturalists and promise well for
their future well-being."
He ends by declaring that he CLOCKS
forward with confidence to the time
when the high quality of its work, as
well as in the magnitude of its enter
prise, the agriculture of the United
States shall not only lead all other in
dustries in this country, but shall be
the leader in this great industry Of all
other conntries.'

What Socialists Think.

CHICAGO, November 9.-This after
noon there was large attendance at
the meeting of the Socialists. A reso-
luton was offered expressing satisfac-
tion at the results of the late election,
in so far as it makes manifest the dis
content of the great mass of people
with existing conditions. THAT in 1t
we see now the Endorsement OF the
Democratic political machine, which
like its Republican duplicate exists for
spoils only; that the political uphcaval
of the Farmers Alliance and
kindred manifestations are but
the result of progressive ele-
ments: that in this political
ferment we see the preliminary move
ments necessarily precedent to the
organization of new National party,
which will succeed in the confidence Of
the people the organization which now
disgraces the name Republican; also re-
solved that we rejoice over the defeat
of the bogus ALDERMAN, Congressman
Lawler. for Sheriff" The resolutions
were adopted with but one dissenting
vote
