and Wines from Her Employer.
Housekceper for President Smith, Of
the Chamber Of Commerce.

Warden Fallon, at the Tomos, has q dis
tingulshed prisoner In the female department
to-day. She is Mrs. Mary +. Roberts, COM
mitted in default Of $4,000 bail on an indict-
ment charging her with grand larceny from

West Forty-seventh street. The property

expensive Irish point lace, Jewelry, scarfs,
embroidery and rare old wines.
simultaneously with her Indictment, Mr..
Smiths lawyers caused an attachment to
issue against Mrs. Roberts's account In the
Kings County Savings Bank, which shows o
balance OF sl,loo to her credit.
Mrs. Roberts is about feet inches tall
and about forty-nve years old. Her form re-
tains Its youthful outlines. She has blue eyes
and glossy dark-brown hair smoothed away
from rather low forehead and wears spec
t.cles.
Sue was averse this morning to talk TO an
EVENING WORLD reporter about her case.
Mr.. smiths sisters came from connecticut
two weeks ago. She desired to look ut some
sables, lace and embroidery which belonged
W MTS- SullIn.
Mrs. Roberts, who was supposed to have
had the keys TO the trunks containing the
articles, was unable to show them, as she
said she had turned the keys over to another
member Uf the Smith family, who Is In Eu-
rope. Her statement caused an inveStiga-
tiOn, and when a search was begun, 1t is sald,
Mrs. Roberts suddenly quilted the house on
the plea OF sickness
Then It was found that iully $4,000 worth
OF property was missing, anl Mr. Smith
sought police assistance.
Detective Gun, OF he East FiIty.flrst street
station, traced the housekeeper to 330 East
Twenty.fourth street, where he arrested her
yesterday, and recovered about 81 900 wort h
OF the property.
The orfcer says she told him that she took
the things 20 make up O trousseau, as she
was engaged to be married.
Mrs Roberts listened intently when the
reporter enumerated the articles she was
accused Of purloining and said not d word
until the wines were mentioned.
"No," she interrupted, 81 never took O
bottle OF Mr.. Smiths wine"
The next minute she said: III Mr.. Smith
was at home know | could explain salts
factorily to him about this l know It was
wrong TO take the things, but | am sure Mr..
Smith has no malice towards me, and could
easily explain everything.
She added that she had bank account, anc
seemed palned to know It had been attached
" ! wanted to use that money to get out or
ball." she added. "Oh! do wish Mr.. Smith
was In New York, for know would get ouI
OF here"

Bitumlnous Coal Companies Con.
templating Consolidation.

Excitement in tho anthracite coal stocks
was renewed at the opening OF business at
the Stock Exchange this morning. The trad
lag again reached colossal proportions, and
sharp fluctuations were recorded.
Advlces from Philadelphia are to the effect
that the Pennsylvania State authorities
would take immediate steps to circumvent
the plans OF the coal barons, and that A. J.
Cassatt, one OF the directors OF the Penn
sylania Railroad Company, had expressed
an opinion that the proposed combination is

Lackawanna declined 2l4 to 15sIS, and re.

selling down to 133, rose to 134Iz, while
Jersey Central broke 3la to 1881 and rallied

Reports were current that the representa-

OF coal 25 cents q ton; but these rumors
were denied, and 1t is said that, for some

NO TyPHuS DEATHS.
None of the Patients Have Died
and No More Are Found.
Steamship Nevada, with Russians
on Board, Is Guaranteed.
Health Board Pushing the Search
for the 3iassillia's Passengers.

The state line steamship Nevada, which
arrived from Liverpool this Iaornina, was de-
tained ut Quarantine because It had thirty
Russian refugees on board.
The passengers will be held until Health
Oricer jenkins can as ertaln whether
the immigrants are from the same localities
In Russia as the passenger who came on the
Massilila, among whom the typhus fever cpl
demlc broke out after their arrival In this
city.
DR.. jenkins at once requested Dr. Cyrus
Edison, Chief OF the Bureau of Contagious
Diseases, to obtain the information for him
from the patients confined In the hospital at
North Brother Island.
DR.. Edison is Of opinion, however, that 1t
will be difflcult to trace the origin OF the

To Turkey, from there to Marseilles, the nee

started on their voyage for the United states,
ana they were twenty.nine days at sea on an
overcrowded, iil-ventilated vessel.
The Inspectors Of the Board OF Health have
all the persons who were exposed to the
dreaded disease under observation, and as soon
as the symptoms OF typhus appear on any OF
them the patient will be removed to North
Brother Island.
All persons who were exposed to danger,
and who may yet develop the NAL

Dr. Edison reported this morning that there
had been no deaths during the night
among the sixty.nine patients at North
Brother Island, and no new cases had been
discovered mp to noon.
The only danger Of the spread OF the plague
now is In case the disease has BEEN communl-
Gated TO any person with whom the tmmi-
grants came In contact.
so far all cases have been confined to the
newcomers

busy to-day trying 10 locate the Italians who
