Mary Ellen With the Tigers Grin.

lSpecialto THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Dispatch.
Mary Ellen Martin, or Egan, as she
sometimes calls herself, is eighteen wears
old and very small. she is now awaiting
disposition by a magistrate of BROOKLYN.
Her jailors have bestowed upon her the
title of MARY Ellen, With the Tigers
Grip" Her strength is of such propor-
lions that neither the penitentiary officials
nor the authorities of the House of the
Good Shepard care to have her as an in
mate. In the former institution the girl
unloosened the screws that held fast the
bars OF the cell In which she was incarce-
rated and made her way out of her cell. In
the other Institution it was an easy matter
for her TO gain her liberty at any time by
forcing open doors no matter how heavily
they were padlocked.
The matron of the Jail where Ellen is
confined knows her antecedents and in
talking about her to-day said: From in
fancy the girl has developed extraordinary
strength and l have seen three men at q
time trying to quiet her when she became
unruly. From what the girl told me her.
self she has been wayward for the last five
or six years. Her mother died two years
ago and not long ago her only sister died.
Her father deserted her long time ago on
account of her bad habits and he is some
where in New York. She told me it was
an easy thing for her to lift almost any
weight and have seen her bend the thick
bars of her cell as easily as though they
were of wire. The doctors have been here
several times to examine her, but she is
far from being insane. She possesses
Greater strength than horse Her arms
do not show it, but it is nevertheless fact.
1 have seen her lift two heavy men as
though they were made of paper, since
she has been here, but she has been very
good and given no one any trouble.n

OMAHA FORBIDDEN
By Order of Court to Turn Over $50, 900 in
Bonds to the Union Pacific,

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 31.-A temporary in
junction was granted on the petition of
Ernest Stull, of Omaha, to prevent the
$4,000 in bonds voted by the city to aid
the Union Pacific railroad in the construc-
ton of union depot here, from being
turned over to that company.
The injunction is based on the ground
that the Union Pacific should allow all
roads access to the depot on reasonable
terms, and it now shows a disposition to
violate this contract. The hearing was set
for January ).
After the order of court was served on
the Union Pacific last night and that COM
pany learned from the court that St Paul
trains could come across the bridge, an
attempt was made to bring fast train on
the latter road from Council Bluffs. The
train progressed but short distance when
it was brought to a standstill by the tracks
being torn up for $50 feet An attempt
was made to take the train over another
route, but the switch was blocked by an
engine ordered there to keep the train from
going through.

ReyieM of the Wool Trade.

BosToN, Dec. 31.-The american B'ool
Reporter in its annual review of the wool
trade of the United States, will say to-
morrow:
1.-THE amount of wool on hand in most of
the primary markets of the United States
now is excessive. The supply in Boston is
considerably lighter than year ago. A
recapitulation of the stocks in the principal
markets, to which is added the estimated
amounts in other markets, concealed sup
plies of wool and pullers brands, gives a
total supply of 80, o19,SS2 pounds, against
99,2S4 1853 a year ago The figures for the
first ten months of 1890 for the whole
United States show total importations of
1914, 1874 pounds in comparison with no.
lO9, 446 for the corresponding time last
year, and in consequence of the amount of
foreign wool on the market, and the fact
that there is a very marked improvement
in wooden goods business, the supplies of
wool in the United States cannot be con-
sidered burdensome. The only weak spot
In the outlook is the probability of in
creased importations of foreign woods after
the beginning of the year."

eighty feet OF course the company never
intended to DO this, but proposed to float
its stock and bonds and then Jump the

A National Museum of Art.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
NEW YORK, Dec. 31-Franklin Smith, a
wealthy resident of ST. Augustine, Florida,
has gigantic scheme on hand. He pro-
poses that other public spirited art col
lectors besides himself should form them
selves into body having for its object the
erection of an enormous structure in Wash
ington which should be our national home
of art. Surprising that ten of these citi-
zens should advance $4,000 each, the work
could Immediately be begun and then other
their checks and aid IN the completion of
the building. Congress, it is expected,
would furnish the ground for the building,
or more properly speaking buildings, which
would cost S5,000,000 to erect. An addi-
tional S5,00O0 a0 would be required to keep
the museum in order and increase treasures.

Sullivan and Slavin the best man in the

''That would depend on circumstances.
The big fellow in good condition, / think,
could whip Slavin, but he would have to be
well. He and McAuliffe are fast friends
since the fight. Slavin told me at the train
that he would be glad of chance to fight
Corbett or any man in this country, and
dare say he will come out here soonn

tween Slavin and Charley Mitchella'
There are no prospects of such a match

AFTER The SPOILS.
Dubois, Shoup and Mcconnell Will
Hold Conferences
TO ARRANGE A PATRONAGE PLAN
yer Dividing Federal Offices in Idaho-Belle-
vac Wants the Agricultural College-A
Fraudulent Land Company.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 Special telegram
30 THE HERALD. With the arrival of
Senator Mcconnell, who is expected to-
night, the Idaho delegation will begin
series of conferences to settle the yexed
question OF federal patronage in the state.
This conference will consist of the two
recently elected Senators, Senator elect
Dubois and Representative Sweet. There
is a manifest disposition on the part OF
Messrs. Shoup Dubois and Sweet so to
distribute the political plums as TO give
general satisfaction all round. The more
important of these Offices are those Of
United States judge, marshal and clerk.
The delegation viii also endeavor to secure
an internal revenue district which shall be
limited to the state of Idaho alone; and if
this be done, there viii also be at their dis
posal the selection of a revenue collector as
%ell. Then there are certain postoffices,
the incumbents of which are held over
Democrats, and their successors must also
be selected.
There are hints that other changes quite
unexpected may be made before the quar-
tette finish their deliberations. When they
shall have done this they will present the
slate agreed upon to the President and ask
that the various appointments be made in
conformity with Its personnel This is
what the California delegation did upon
the incoming of the Harrison administra-
ton. 1t took them some time to reach a
satisfactory conclusion, but when this was
done their labor, as well as their pickering
ceased. The President made the appoint
ments as they desired and held the delega-
ton responsible for the good conduct of
the appointees in each case. 1t was an
original plan and it has worked admirably.
The Idaho delegation will no doubt find it
equally effective. 1t is said that the num-
Der of applicants for the three federal of
fees above named is something appalling.
The number Of gentlemen in Idaho who
apparently regard themselves as good ma
terial from which a United States Judge
may be made is said to be nearly forty.
AS there are not more than forty lawyers
in the entire commonwealth, it is fair to
assume that every member of the profess
sion has filed an application in his own be-
half. The list of applicants for the mar
shalship and clerkship is also equally large
