Fenian Finances, C. 0. L. R. Stephens has hada private con- ference with the New York head centres, from which reporters were excluded, but the New York Express manages to get hold of the tol- lowing facts: Mr. Killian was present, and tock an active part in the conference. Stephens demanded pecuniary aid from all present for the purpose of “sencing ittothe meuin the gap.” The centres, however, replied that the members they represented were at present too demoral- ized to contribute any large amount, but they would make an effort to procure all the fands possible for the Celtic chieftain, 1M has trans, Head: Centre mennndbaderante at? Nie £8 been restored to his official favor, and that he is now contributing his executive ability to restore the Brother hood <o its former strong and vigorous condition. Mr. Stephens has positively refnsed to give the prees the financial report of the committee, whom he appointed to examine the books of O’Mahonéy and Killian. Some of the items found on the books were of an extraordinary character. Mr. Rafferty, whilereading the re- port, came frequently across items denomi- nated by the title of scraps. He read off oc- casionally amounts from $50 to $70 under that head. The frequent record of this item created some surprise among those not initiated in Union Square Fenianism, and one of those present interrupted Mr. Rafferty when he re- peated the rtem thus: “What does scraps*mean? All the meney seems to have been.spent on them scraps.” The only answer to the question of Mr. Raf- ferty was: SCrApSccseesceseeesss cee oe Weesseces = 2 850.00 “I repeat my questioi said the Fenian, “What does scraps mean? Mr. Stephens—You can find that out after— Fenian—I demand an answer. Mr. Rafferty (iaughing)—Well, the item is fer sending men tothe Roberts’ meetings to protect the interests of tne organization. SINGULAR Case or HANGING.—A singular ease of death from hanging occurred near Mahanoy city. Pa., recently. An infant,a few months old, was sleeping with its parents in bed. Awakening some time in the night, the mother missed her child, Raising herself to seareb for the babe, she discovered it hanging outside of the bed suspended by the néck by the string of its night clip caught on one of the pegs of the bed rail. ife was extinct. It seems thatthe child was accidentally sliding out of bed, and, as it passed over the bed- rail, its clothing caught on one of the pegs by which the bed-cord is attached, and thus sns- pended, it could give no cry by which the parents might have been awakened.

RECOVERY OF STOLE» Goops—4 Pawnbroker i Trouble.—Last Wednesday, Mr. S. H. Hable, who keeps @ furnishing store, No. 310 Penn. sylvania avenue, applied at the detective office for aid in recovering a large quantity of goods stelen from him during several months past, and also to secure the arrest of the parties sus- pected. Detectives Kelly and Higley were Sssigned {o the duty, and very soon recovered 240 pairs of boots and shoes. They arrested Robert Cryer, Robert Tasco, and Jas. Whetier, cojored, on suspicion of the larceny, and Ber- nard Bornstine, a licensed {pawn roker, for receiving the stolen goods. Yesterday after- noon the accused had a hearing before Super- intendent Richards; Mr. Utermeble appearing for the prosecution, and Mesers. Bradley, it. and Fendall for the defense. Mr. Hable testified that he had been missing goods from his store during three or four months past, the aggregate of which was S500 to $2,000 Had seen colored men coming about his back shop and store. Hus brother, Isaac Hable, a isd ot 16 ‘was employed as a clerk; he slept in the store and kept the key, and used to have two or three colored men about the store in the mornings to help him open and sweep out. A few evenings ago 8 certain person came to witness and told bim he had some boots believed to be witness’, and thought he knew where there were more of the same sort.
