jrawYowc, Jane 18.—Mr*. F. G. Hnd•od, one of the most troublt**ome confidence women known to the police of New York and Bo*ton, pot on end to her life early feeterdav morning by taking laudanum at the boarding house of Annie Goes. The history of the women is full of strange ineidsnts, and illustrates with painful force the ease with which some women can drift from a life of respectability to an existence of shame and crime. Mrs. Hudson was born in Baltimore forty-five years ago. She was highly educated and had all the comforts a luxurious home affords. She had been in society but a ehort time when she met and married Rev. David Hudson, a young Methodist minister, who was pastor of a church at SnowhiU, Md. Tiring of the ministry, Rev. Mr. Hudson, who was a man of some wealth, began the study of medicine, and when he received his degree moved bis family to Medway, Maas., where ho oponed an office and began the practice of his profession. The life of a country doctor was not such as Mrs. Hudson had been accustomed to. Its rural simplicity weaned her and she soon found occasion to quarrel with her husband. To break the monotrnv she began to give expensive entertainments, and in very short order enveloped him in debt. Broken in health and

When her board bill reached a couple of hundred dollars ahe notified Landlord Rodgers that her apartments had been broken into and all her jewelry, valued at a fabblous sum, stolen. Mr. Rodgers, of course, was shocked, and immediately took steps to find the thief. In the meantime Mrs. Hudson was so upset over the loss of her valuables that

The widow, Mrs. Heiser, was no other than the same Mrs. Hudson who so cleverly euchred Landlord Rodgers. He recognized the similarity >tf the two persons described and notified the Boston police. The woman was arrested, taken to Boston, tried and convicted. She was released from prison October 2, 1885, but was arrested afterward and sent to the penitentiary for a year. Little is

She was taken to Christ’s Hospital, where she gave tbe name of Mrs. Irving, and when she recovered she was taken to New York, indicted and sentenced to prison for obtaining goods from Aiken & Co., of Broadway, on false pretenses. She had korked the same doage on a number of merchants, but was convicted for only one

bffense.

During her trial the fact was brought out (hat the woman was in the habit of blackmailing clergymen. She had tried her game »n Bishop Potter, of this city, but without success. When she was arrested a letter was found In her possession in which she informed the Bishop that Rev. J. B. Potter, pastor of St. Paul’s Church, Boston, had introduced her to some of his congregation as his sister, and she managed to beat them out of $600. Bishop Potter, of course, paid no heed to the adventuress, and she was sentenced to a year on the Island. When released from prison Mrs. Hudson went to live with Mrs. Abe Taylor, of Lexington avenue. She passed herself off as the daughter of General Robert Lee, and when asked for reference referred to Bishop Hungton, of Syracuse, N. Y. Mrs. Taylor was so happy in having such a distinguished boarder that she neglected to inquire of Bishop Hungton until Mrs. Hudson had run up a board bill of about $100. By the time Mrs. Taylor received a reply from the Bishop her boarder had taken quarters elsewhere. Mrs. Taylor subsequently learned that her boarder had defrauded any number of clergymen as well as' Dr. Henry A. Hart, who had made the woman a collector to raise funds for the Columbian Institute. The woman’s last act before going to the hoarding house at 132 East Eighteenth Street was to find employment at the house of Wm.

A COURT-MABTIAL.

Major Kimball Churned With Netrliffsnoe—His Defense.

Tucson, Ariz., June 18.—The trial by court-martial of Major A. S. Kimball, U. 8. A., Chief Quartermaster of the Department of Arizona, on the charge of negligence in the execution of a lease for offices at Tucson commenced yesterday. After the. first witness was sworn Major Kimball entered an objection to the introdnetion of any testimony tending to show that the rentals under the leases in question were exorbitant or that diligence was not used by him to satisfy himself that the amount of rent to be paid by the United States Government was reasonable and proper, and that the Government was wrongfully required to pay, and did pay, under said leases any rentals whatever. Major Kimball made this objection on the wound that it is not a duty of the Chief Quartermaster of the department to provide offices. He asserted that it is the duty of the commanding officer and the Quartermaster present at a station to provide necessary quarters and offices and that the Chief Quartermaster is nowhere recognized as having any duty whatever in connection therewith. Captain Miltimere was the local Quartermaster at Tuscon and it was his duty to provide offices for all disbursing officers stationed there. Captain Miltimere did perform this duty and afterward submitted the leases to the Chief Quartermaster to be signed as required by the regulation. The courtmartial adjourned without taking action on Major Kimball’s objection. Contract Labor Violations.

Des Moines, la., June 18.—Judge Kavanagh has rendered a decision in the original package case of the State vs. Terry Chambers. The Judge sustains the lower court in condemning the liquors, the evidence tending to show that Chambers had broken' the original packages, and was selling in quantities to suit purchasers. The opinion savs that the right of a-citizen to import intoxicating liquors into the State and the corollary right of the importer to sell the goods thus brought in is no longer a controverted question, but - holds that the goods must remain in the package in which they were imported. Baltimore, June 18.—A jury in the Criminal Court yesterday decided that social clubs possess no more rights than private citizens, and found August Bender and Alphone Maveth, President and Secretary of the Carrollton Club, guilty of selling liquor on Sunday.

SITUATION AT DUNBAR.

THX RESCUING PARTY AND HOPXLBS8 WORK.

▲ Bell Rings Oat la the Sabtermninn Caverns and Gives Rise to Speculation—Fears of Another Explosion — Terrible Heat.

Dunbar, June 18.—There is not s ray of hope or encouragement offered thfr weary rescuing parties at Farm Hill mine this morning except that they are one day nearer the completion of their work, that now grows more difficult every hour. The loose piles of iallen slate and coal in the disused chambers of the Mahoning mine have been passed with but little trouble. The main work is now in hand. The rescuing parties from the Mahoning are digging through the fallen wreck that reaches to the root and are working now within seventy feet of where thev expect to break into the Farm Hill lead. There is, as usual, a conflict of authority on the question, as some still claim thev are digging straight enough into the burning mine, but that they are fully 300 feet beyond where the men are supposed to be. Tne men will probably not be obliged to dig through the solid wall after all. There is a steady draft setting in toward the burning chambers, and it now looks as if the men had made no mistake in their calculations and will hit the nearest point to a hairsbreadth. There are even graver fears now of another explosion since an occurrence of this morning. About 2 o’clock a heavy fall wjas heard in tbe mine, andthose standing about saw the smoke that had been pouring out in an ever increasing stream, suadenly stop. At the same time the trip bell away down in the burning mine rang out loudly. Many thought the men rad reached it to give an alarm, but this is absurd, for even if alive they would be obliged to traverse at least 300 yards of flame before they could have reached the bell. It was found out after that a heavy fall had occurred in the main slope and had shut off the draft. This has turned the smoke and beat back into the chambers, in such volumes that no man could-live. The heat in the Mahoning drift is growing more intense, and only an occasional blast from the fan makes their work bearable. This stoppage of the draft will also shut in the gas and work is proceeding even more cautiously than before. Inspector Keighley is in the lead every moment now, as they expect to break through to-day. He will make but a small opening at first and then make a thorough test of the gas before venturing farther. AFRICAN TERRITORY.

England and Germany Will Understand Eace Other—Adjustment. LoxnON, June 18.—Lord Salisbury’s dispatch to Sir Edward Malet, British Embassador to Berlin, containing England’s agreement with Germany, declares that Germany’s claim that where one power occupies a coast, another power may not without the consent of the first power occupy unclaimed regions in the rear, can not be allowed in cases where the country is occupied by Englishmen. Where there are no English settlements Lord Salisbury admits that there is no English title. The agreement is that England retain tbe Stevenson road, which is to be the boundary line between the English and German’spheres. The line stretches from the mouth of the Boukera west from Lake Nyassa to the mouth of the Kilambo south, and from Lake Tanganyika northward. Germany retains the region as far as the Congo State along the first degree south latitude, the boundary diverging around the western shore of the Nyanza, so as to make the frontier meet the territory covered by Stanley’s treatise. The agreement also accords a mutual free passage for English and German subjects through the respective territories. Germany’s concession of Vitu, with the islands of Somoli, Manda and Patta, comprises a coastline exceeding 200 miles. England is allowed the exclusive protectorate over Zanzibar and Pemba. Heligoland is conceded to Germany, subject to the consent of Parliament. The status quo is to remain pending the ratification of the agreement. The English Press View. Berlin, June 18.—The newspapers of this city approve the agreement between Germany and England concerning their respective territories in Africa, and express congratulations that all the points in dispute between the two countries has been satisfactorily settled. The agreement, the papers say, will establish the best relations between Germany and England in the near future. The North German Gazette, in an article on the subject, says that the negotiations were a fortunate "battle in which all the participants were victors, and no one was vanquished. CANADIAN ELECTIONS.

Premier Meroier and His Government Returned to Power.

Quebec, June 18.—Premier Mercier and his government were returned to power yesterday at the general provincial election by a maority of 23 to 25 in a house of 73 members. This shows a large ministerial gain, Herder’s majority in the house recently dissolved having been 18. Mercier declared on Sunday that he would have a majority of 20 to 22; so that the result has exceeded his expectations. The late boodle developments were the main features of Mercier’s opposition, in rural constituencies, votes of simple French Canadian peasantry were caught by the plea that Mercier was the friend of the Catholic Church, bad returned to the Jesuits their confiscated estates, and had received from the Pope the highest honors ever accorded to a layman in America. This argument lost Mercier almost the entire English vote, but gave him tbe bulk of French-Canadian influence. The majority of the ultra royal element and all imperial federationista voted on the Conservative side. Opponents of imperial federation, advocates of abolition of the federal right of veto in provincial matters, and all democrats and annexationists voted for Mercier. Tbe loss of the Province of Quebec to the Conservatives so soon before the general Dominion elections is considered a severe blow for Sir John Macdonald, who draws moat of his support from Quebec, and who has no more implacable foe than Mercier. Sir John has the more cause for alarm that Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have recently declared against the Conservatives. The Grand Trunk Railway Company gave Mercier considerable assistance. They were actuated in this by a desire to be revenged upon Sir John Macdonald for his lavish supply of federal subsidies to the Canadian Pacific, also by a sense of gratitude to Mercier for a heavy Provincial subsidy to one of their branch lines, the Champlain Junction Railroad. Two of Menders Ministers (Attorney General Tureotte and Commissioner of Agriculture Rhoades) are defeated, but will find other constituencies. Meanwhile the Opposition has lost nearly all its chiefs, including the leader, Mr. Tallion. A Colored Ex-Legislator Lynched. Nkw Orleans, J une 18.—G*o.Swaysee,a colored ex-member of the Louisiana Legislature, was lynched in the pariah of East Feliciana yesterday. He had been arrested charged with being a dangerous and suspicious oharaoter, but was taken by a mob from officers of the law and hanged. Sway-

see. it is thought, was distributing circulars to negroes in the parish, advising them not to take part in the election for State Senator, to fill a vacancy, which come# of!' tomorrow, as it was purely a Democratic factional fight. A short time ago several leading white citizens of East Feliciana sent an open letter to John A. Morris, Manager of the Louisiana Lottery, warning him against attempting to send emissaries into that section to influence votes for the lottery, and it is supposed that Swaysee was sent on a mission of that sort Swaysee was charged with having murdered Judge Winter in West Feliciana parish fourteen years ago. Of late he has been on the laborers’ roll of the Custom House in this city. He was one of the most intelligent negroes in the State. . " -* — COLLEGE EXERCISES.

iSpecial to The Indianapolis Nsws.; Rochester, June 18.—The Republicans of this county have selected delegates for the Congressional Convention of the Tenth District, and, as this is the first delegation to be organized, proceedings have been watched with considerable interest. Hon. W. D. Owen has served the District in an efficient and satisfactory manner during the past six years, and he is immensely popular with the rank and file of the party. During the Democratic administration, when there was no patronage to bestow, he had no trouble in keeping his party harmonized and no opposition developed toward him, but with the incoming of the Harrison administration there were increased responsibilities for Mr. Owen. It is conceded that he has acted fairly with all parties and applicants for office, that he has made no promises that he has not fulfilled, and that he ha? ever treated his constituents in an honest and courteous manner, yet there are disgruntled and disappointed office-seekers throughout the district who will use every means within their power to prevent his renomination. It is difficult to predict to what extent this opposition will manifest itself, but as there are no other active candidates in the field, it is hoped by the friends of Mr. Owen that they will seeure his re-nomination on the first ballot. He will secure the Fulton County delegation, with possibly one or two exceptions, as some of the townships instructed their delegates to support him, and the active workers of the party in this county are his enthusiastic admirers. 8tearners for the Missouri.

JUSTICE AND MERCY.

▲ Man Justified for Defending HI* Wifo—Two Small Boys. Judge Sullivan ladled out justice this morning with an even, steady ’hand. The quality of his mercy was not strained. John Bishop was arrested for Insnlting the wife of William Baker, and Baker was arrested for smashing Bishop on the nose. Mrs. Baker testified, and Bishop could offer no defense. “I think a man who would act as you did,” said the Court to Bishop, “deserves punishment. I will fine you $25 and costs.” When Baker was tried the evidence showed that he had assaulted Bishop because of the insult to Mrs. Baker, which was proven to be of an aggravated nature. “You did not do anythingyou should not have done, Mr. Baker. A man should always protect his wife, and while the law compels me to fine yon for taking the Ihw in your hands, I will make it the least sum possible and will let you go on a commitment As for you, sir,” continued the Court, turning to Bishop, “from the evidence in this case, I am satisfied that the punishment I inflicted on you is too light for your offense. In addition to the fine of $25 I will add ten days in the Work House. That is the place for all insulters of women.” Two bright little boys, well dressed, were arrested for larceny. It was their first and only offense, and the property had been recovered. The mother of the children pleaded for them. “I do not intend to .allow a feeling of sympathy to enter into my decisions hera,” said Judge Sullivan. “If I did I would release many a prisoner that I have had to fine. But here is a different case. These boys can be saved or they can be ruined. A term in jail may mean ruination to them. Bad associations will make bad hoys. They have not sinned so grievously but that there is a chance for them. They can yet grow up to be good men, and this’will be’ a lesson to them. They can see how near their first sin brought them to the door of a prison. The law does not require me to throw an obstacle in the way of reformation, and I won’t do it. You can go home with your mother, and let this be a warning to you.” BUDDENBAUM FOB GERMAN.

hr the Finance Commit*^ of tbm Senate—The silver Bill in the Honee.

He Says He Waa Not Elected On the German Isaue—Hla Conatltuenta. There has been some doubt as to the position of School Commissioner Buddenbaum, on the question of teaching German in the public schools. It has been strenuously asserted by citizens in his district that his election was due to an understanding that he was to oppose the teaching of German. He would have been defeated, they say, had it been known that he favored German. A News reporter called on Mr. Buddenbaum to-day to ascertain his views. “I shall vote as I have voted,”he said. “I shall vote in favor of German as long as the law demands it, as it now does. As far as I know, the question of German was not up at all when I was elected. The only question up was the defeat of the other man.” Citizens of Buddenbaura’s district say that at 11 o’clock on election day (at the election before last Saturday’s) they discovered that the other man was for German in tbe schools, and that, understanding that Buddenbaum would oppose German, they turned out in force and elected him. High School Drawing Exhibition. The drawing classes of the High School have covered the walls of the large hall with their work and decorated it with flowers ana arrangements of still life in a very pretty manner for the closing exhibition tonight. Drawings and sketches in pencil, charcoal, crayon and water colors, most of them from nature, show that the instruction has been of the best sort and that talent bas a place among the merits of the High School pupils. The two sketeh-elabs under Miss Selick. “The High School Sketching Club/' organized three years ago, and the “Hints of Haunts” in rts second year, have an especially interesting exhibit The sketches of Miss Lillian Butler, Miss Anna Spann, Miss Flora Hamilton and Master Willie Adams are among the best, though there are many deserving praise.

Warrington, June 18.—A fuU meeting of the Senate Finance Committee was held todav, at which the Chairman, Mr. Morrill, was authorized by a strict party vote to report the tariff bill with amendments. A member of the committee cays that, with the exception of the wool and agricultural schedules, the bill is almost Identically ths same as that bill of the Senate Finance Committee reported In 1888. No format report accompanied the bill, nor ie it certais that any will be prepared. A statement will be reported to the Senate as soon as it can be prepared, showing the effects of the provisions of the bill upon the receipts of customs as compared with the receipts under the present law and those estimated under the House bill. SS understanding that the debate on the bill will not begin until about July 1, in order that ample time may be give* tor study of the bill. A member of th< Finance Committee savs that the Demo crats intimated that if "opportunities were given in advance to study the schedules, the debate would be materially curtailed. The following are the principal changes made by the committee in the bill: The glassware classifications are ebanged and a large general reduction made. Steel rails, reduced from $13.44 to$11.20 per ton; mica and crude nickel are pnt on the free list: sawed boards, $1 per 1,000 feet instead of No bounty is to be given tor less than 500 pounds of sugar annually; and sugars between 13° and 16° Dutch standarT pay a duty of 3-10 cent per pound. Sugars above 16 pay 6-10 cent, instead of 4-10 cent per pound. Tobacco is unchanged. Slight reductions are made in many items in the agricultural schedule, and exporters of meat are not allowed rebate on salt used in curing meats. Natural effervescing mineral waters are made free. The dnty on cotton manufactures are reduced all through the schedule, is in the flax, hemp and jut* schedule. Only slight changes are made in wool, ths principal one being to correct a typographical error that the House refused to correct. The bounty for silk and silk cocoons raised and reeled in the United States is stricken out. All buttons, except agate, pearl and shell, are made dutiable as manufactures of the material of which they are composed—a large reduction. Works of art are taken from the free list and made dutiable per cent, ad valorem. Limitation ol $o00 as value of wearing apparel a person may bnng to the United States Is striokta out The PUver BUI in the House. The silver bill, as amended by the Senate was presented to the House at 12:48. R was received with tremendous applause by the Democratic aide, and Mr. Bland, of Missouri, immediately moved that the committee of the whole rise in order that the House might at once proceed to the consideration of the bill. Mr. Peel, of Arkansas, who had the floor, was induced to yield to thia motion, but tne chairman of th* committee (Mr. Allen, of Michigan) directed the elerk to continue the reading of a long printed precedent bearing upon the poiul of order then under disenssion. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Bland’s motion was pnt and waa defeated on a standing vote by 79 to 89. On a vote by tellers, tbe committee refused to rise—yeas 94, nays 105—and continued the consideration of the Indiau appropriation bill. silver an Absorbing Topic. Hie all-absorbing topic of interest to-day in the House is the probable disposition of the silver bill which passed the Senate yeeterday. When the bill was recei red from the Senate thia afterimon Mr. Bland's motion that the committee of the whole rise in order to immediately consider the kill, was received with wild'applause by his fellow Democrats, who saw a chance to score a point, and supported it u a unit, with two exceptions. No Republicans voted for the motion, as it was entirely improbable that the bill could have bean reached even bad the committee risen. Silver on Wall Street. New York, June 18.—Judging by tin, eflect on Wall street yesterday’s vote in the Senate on the silver bill did not go very fat toward settling the question. Bar silvei wonld be worth abont 129 should a free coinage bill be paeeed, yet it is quoted to day at 105, against mk last night. Tht Evening Post in its financial article says] The stock market was stimulated thi< morning to a slight extent by the prospeck of sUver legislation indicated by the votinji in the Senate yesterday afternoon. The volume of business, however, was as small as ever and it was apparent thatspecalatore would wait for something more definite before venturing to enlarge their lines of either long or short stocks very mneh.
