The Easter ukase of the car Of
Russia was aimed at the Cancellation
of the peasantry. as a shield against
the reform agitation. 1t provides for
the annulment of the peasants m
debtedness to the government for ad-
vances in the recent insolvent condi-
ton of village communes and orders
that all Christian sects be permitted
to exist without penalty. This re-
movaI of religious disabilities enabled
the old believers of Moscow to cele-
brate Easter in the churches OF the
Rogoshk quarters. The affairs mao
been closed for 40 years. Many price
less paintings and ikons were found
to be ruined by dampness. Many of
the congregation loudly invoked the
Almighty's blessing on the emperor.

Yelled Murderess Was Lady Elliott.

Mrs Charlotte p Norris of Chicago has
unveiled the mystery of the Yelled Muir
deress" who died Sunday in prison at Mat
teawan, N. Y. They were classmates in
the Emma Willard School in Troy sixty
years ago. The maiden name of the
woman was Charlotte Ward Her father
was a wealthy Canadian merchant
She married an Englishman Of rank. Sir
William F. Elliott, but after two years
residence in England ran away from her
husband and returned to this country She
found her fathers door closed to her. She
was arrested In 1853 for a double poisoning
in Troy. Mrs Morris said:
Charlotte Ward a beauty and a
woman of the highest acc mplishments.
She was a hard student and a rema rka Bile
linguist
Charlotte had three sisters, all of whom
at one time or another were pupils OF Miss
Wizards. One of the elder sisters, who
had left the Troy school before Charlotte
entered, had been engaged to New York
won't give 1t. He afterward was the cause
of the Wrecking of Charlotte's life.
when she ran away from her husban nd 8
home in England and had come back to
find her fathers house closed TO her she
went to Troy, hoping to find employment
as teacher at the Willard School. Before

ON CHARGE OF LARCENY.
Louise Fenemore in Custody Of the
Local Police

In the capture of Louise Fcnemore who
was arrested on Pennsylvania avenue last
night by Detectives Muller, Hewlett and
Pratt, the police express the belief that
they have In custody one of the cleverest
operators that has worked In this city for
some time. While she was arrested to an
swer a charge of larceny from Peter Des-
mond, 1t Is believed by the police that she
can be connected with similar work of
which others have complained. She was
taken to the house OF detention last night,
but this morning she brought to
police headquarters, where she was meas
ured and was interviewed by Capt. Board
man of the detective bureau. She will be
arraigned in the Police Court tomorrow
morning.
According to the report to the police Des-
mond was on Pennsylvania avenue last Sat
urday night and met a rather attractive
young woman, with whom he struck up an
acquaintance. They visited several drink
ing places together, and late in the evening
the woman asked him TO go to a drug store
to get something for her While he was in
the store the cab in which he had left the
girl drove off. When he went to pay the
bill in the store he discovered that roll
of his money, amounting to about $40, was
missing. He reported the matter to the
police and Detectives Muller and Cornwell
were assigned to the case
They We're furnished with a very accurate

wore a black hat, he said, and check gray
and black suit, and had genteel appear
ance generally. AS Detectives Muller
Pratt and Hewlett were walking along the
avenue last evening they spotted a girl who
answered the description and arrested her.
She declared in strong terms that II was an
imposition to arrest her and denied the
charge of larceny. When confronted with
Desmond al police headquarters, however,
she admitted that she had been out with
him last Saturday night. but denied taking
the roll of bills from his pocket. She said
he spent his money literally Saturday even
ing and that is where the money must
have gone.
Miss Fenemore says that she is a Vir-
gilman by birth and that she has often visit
ed in this city, stopping at various hotels.
She is twenty-five years old, Is about five
feet eight inches tall, has fair complexion
and blue eyes. During a severe cross-ex-
animation this morning she maintained her
innocence She has never been arrested
her before.
