New York, March 7.-Colonel Storey,
chief OF Surveyor Lyons staff of inspec-
tors, made an important seizure of goods
in the trunks of seven cabin passengers
on the French steamship Ia Bourgogne,
which arrived here yesterday from
Havre. Three OF the trunks belong to
.dressmakers in this city and four to peo-
pie in Chicago. Their contents are esti-
mated to be worth thousands OF dollars.
One OF the trunks, stored with laces,
silk dresses, tea gowns and othcrarticlcs
OF woman's attire belonged to Mrs.
Allibonc. She said she was a stranger
in this country, did not know the Gus
toms laws, and merely came to this
country on visit, not knowing exactly
what parts Of it she should visit. She
was dumbfounded when the inspector
told her that she could not bo quite
such a stranger here, as she kept fash
ionable dressmalsing establishment at
1851 Michigan avenue, Chicago. Two of
the other trunks arc said to belong to
women connected with Kate Reilly, tho
dressmaker whosename came before the
public in connection with a recent

NEW York, March Mrs. Kate
Scanlan died in New York hospital this
morning, the victim Of her jealous hus-
bands rage and his outraged feelings.
Richard Scanlan went home last night
about 1880 o'clock and he alleges he
found his vile in compromising situa-:
ton with his own brother, Michael
Scanlan, handsome man Of thirty.iive
years. A vigorous quarrel cnsucd and
harsh words followed until rendered al
most insane, the husband snatched q
lighted lamp from a table and hurled it
at the head OF his wife. The lamp
struck her under the left ego and
knocked the woman to the floor. In q
moment she was 4 blazing bundle, and
rcgainins her feet ran shrieking to the
street, where she was caught; and car.
ried to neighboring house, the flames
having been quenchetl. She was horri-
bly, burned on every part OF her body,
and six hours later she died in terrible
agony. The husband was found three
hours after the commission OF the deed.
He acknowledged that he threw the
lamp which caused his wife's awful
death. aa.

WASHINGTON, D. G., March Repre-
sentative springer's condition tonight
is not materially changed. He has
passed a comfortable day. He began
the night, said the doctor, under favor
able conditions. There has been a very
slight return OF delirium, but as a whole
he has had avery fair day and held his
own well.
The condition OF Congressman SPRING
er was improved this morning and hope
WIS once more revived in the bosom of
his friends. The three physicians held
a long consultation at II o'clock this
forenoon and at its conclusion, DR..
John A. Vincent, OF Illinois, made the
following statements:
"Mr. Springer. passed favorable
night and his condition is very much
improved this morning. His pulse and
temperature are reduced and he mani
tests much less delirium than yesterday.
Lis mind appears to be clearing UP and
tho periods Of coma arc less fre0uent.
lie takes nourishment well today, and
another very good condition OF improve
ment is that he is more sensitive to ex-
tcrnal impressions and sounds than he
has been since his illness assumed q
serious stage Tho crysipclas today
has nearly stopped spreading and there
are indications in some places that it is
beginning to disappear. His vitality is
still very low. lie complains this morn
ing OF great weakness. While that is
true, yet the fact that he complains OF
it, IS not an indication that he is any
weaker than in tho past, but merely
that he is conscious OF that weakness. u,
