The New York World says: If the werd of a well-known physician can be depended upon, Seely is within thirty miles of the city hall, and he has not been much further away than that at any tim2 since he disappeared, over a week ago. The fugitive is broken in health and spirit, according to this physician, and may have but a few months’ of life left to him. Lying upon a bed in an upper story room of the house in which he has found refuge, this phys'clan says that Seely spent a good deal of time yesterday preparing a statement by which he expects to show that he was only a tool in the hauds of others, and that persons more prominent and better known than Frederick Baker, his dead confederate, profited by his steal- ings. From hints dropped in the presence of his physician the latter has been led to be- lieve that there were really five persons actively concerned in the conspiracy to defraud the Shoe and Leather Bauk, and fes a high position, socially and financial: the five were Baker and Seely, others, according to the statement to be made ‘by Seely,- are connected with big banking houses. Seely had, it Is stated on good authority, Intended to surremler himself last night. He Fad believed that he woull he avle to complete Kis statement by tl tine, but he has b:cken down urder the strum upon his nerves. The statement that he {s preparing will, it is said, deal with the defalcation from the beginning, tell how he was tempt- ed and the man who tempted him, and set forth how much of the money ‘went to the other conspirators and how it was used by the men. ‘TYne claim will be made that much of the money was used in investments. and used in a fruitless effort to make these invesi- ments pay. It is said that some of the money was invested in the business enterprises of a man who is now serving out a sentence of imprisonment for embezzling, and that at the time of kis arrest the conspiracy against the Shce and Leather Bank was on the verge of discovery. How the thefts were extended over a period of nine years without discovery will also be explained, and some sensational al- legations will be made in this connection. —s FoR A DU ARRANGE ae A French Deputy Attacked by An- other and Challenges Him. During the sitting of the French cham- ber of deputies yesterday M. Poincarre, minister of finance, alluded to an insuiting article that had been written by M. Gus- tave Bouanet, a socialist editor who repre- sents a Parisian constituency in the cham- ber. M. Bouanet took umbrage at the lan- guage of M. Poincarre and indulged in a violently abusive tirade against the min- ister. The only reply that M. Poincarre deigned to make to the attack upon him was: “Interruptions of this kind are replied to elsewhere.” This, of course, meant that a challenge to fight a duel would be sent to M. Bou- anct. After the session M. Poincarre sent his seconds to M. Bouanet to arrange for a meeting on the field of honor.

GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS 2 te BERLIN, November 27.—Princess Bis- marok, the wife of Prince Bismarck, died at Varzin at 6 o'clock this morning. The condition of the princess became alarming yesterday, as exclusively told in the Associated Press dispatch from Varzin yesterday afternoon. It was then an- nounced that the princess had suffered a relapse, and that great anxiety was felt in regard to her condition by the prince and by her attendants. All the family were hastily summoned to her bedside. Count Herbert Bismarck arrived yester- day eyening, and was present when his mother passed away. * Although it is feared that the effect of his wife's death upon the prince will be serious, it is satisfactory to add that the great chancellor has been in better health jatély, and that he has been able to re- sume his daily drives. Princess Bismarck (Duchess of Lauen- burg), wife of Prince Bismarck, has been in poor health for a long tine. -Her illness became pronounced two months ago. She was deeply affecteci and received a severe shock when the death of her life-long friend, Frau Kugenie Reckow, prioress of the Stoll institute for Unmarried Women, was announced. ‘Three weeks ago Dr. Schweninger was called to Friedrichsruhe to prescribe tor & serious attack of neu- ralgia. Since that time she has been al- most continuously under the care of a physician. it is feared that the effect of the death of his wife upon Prince Bismarck will be serious, because of his failing health and advancing years. > MORE EARTHQUAKES IN ITALY.

An Affecting Scene Judge Miller’s Court Today.— Judge Miller of the Police Court had a more than usually di to decide this morning, when Agent Lewis of the board of children’s guardian¥ brought be- fore the court Camille Rosetta, an Italian woman, and her two children, Marie, aged thirteen, and Louls, se¥n years old. The people live in Earle’s cdurt, near the Bal- timore and Ohio railroad depot, the court wos told, the father of the children selling fruit from a pushcart, the children be- ing sent out to beg. The girl, a rather at tractive and bright-looking child, it was said was in constant danger of being led to destruction, the parents, ertioularly the father, being utterly indifferent to, { not really promoting, the downward ae of the girl. A charitgbly inclined lady, whose attention had been attracted to the conditions in which the family lived, told the court that the children were kept in rags, the father spending in drink all the children secured by begging. She also stated that the mother had begged her to take care of the girl, as the father beat her and compelled her to beg on the streets. When the court intimated that he would turn the two children over to the board the mother swooned and created quite a scene in court, the two children throwing themselves on their mother and piteously begging the judge net to part them. The scene somewhat disconcerted Judge Miller and he called for further testimony. The little girl admitted that her father beat her end that she was afraid of him, and also stated that it was true that she had been compelled to go out begging anid for beer and whisky for her parents. The mcther, who had first declared that she could not speak English, finally found words enough to protest that the children were well cared for, and that she did not know that it was wrong to send the children out begging. Judge Miller finally decided that the safe- ty of the children demanded that they should be placed under the protection of the board, and so directed, despite the tears and entreaties of the mother and children. ——_—_—-_—_ The Bible Soctety.

Mrs. Trouland avers that her husband has, been an habitual drunkard from the date of their marriage, and that two months after the ceremony he choked her, declared /he. would shoot her, and actually went. for a gun for the purpose of carrying out his threat. A few days later, according to Mrs. Trouland, he attempted to cut her throat’ with a table knife. ‘Iwo days after her eldest child was born, declares the wife, tier husband struck her with a bottle and attempted to throw her out of bed, and since then has as- saulted her in vartous ways. A divorce and the custody of their two children is asked. —>— Dangerous for Herses. Under an arrangement between the Belt Railway Company and the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company, the cars of the former company now run over certain tracks on Ist street northwest between Pernsylvania avenue and Indiana avenue, which are claimed to be owned by the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Com- pany. The manager of the Belt Line road has informed the Commissioners in a letter that some of the covers to the manholes used in connection with the cable line have been so changed as to present a smooth, instead of a corrugated, surface. Such a change, he says, is dangerous to the horses on account of their liability to slip; and if they should fall near Indiana avenue there would be additional danger of a collision with cable cars. He requests that the or- der changing the manholes be revoked. >_ “Kid? Reynolds Arrested.

ANNUAL REPORT OF SECRETARY EMORY Sewing Work Given to Many De- serving Women. THE FINANCIAL RECORD The annual report of Mr. L. 8. Emory, general secretary of the Associated Chari- ties of the District, to the executive board of that organization will be read at the meeting tonight, covering a period of one year from the 8th of November, 1893. In a review of the work accomplished during the period Mr. Emory says: “During the latter part of the fall and the early part of the winter only about the usual number of calls were made upon us, notwithstand- ing the pressure of the prevailing hard times, but it was evident that a severe pressure was to be made upon us as the winter advanced, and wea therefore mado all necessary arrangements, so far as get- ting the volunteer workers ready, estab- lishing agencies in every part of the Dis- trict and getting the records in shape. Meanwhile some of the citizens, fearing that the association would not be able to ccpe with the difficulties which seemed im- minent, organized a citizens’ relief commit- tee to arrange funds to better uip the existing agencies to meet the demands which were properly predicted. The neces- sary agitation naturally attracted the at- tertion of those who were verging upon a distressed condition, as well as of a large class that spring to the front for their share of what is provided whether they need it or not, and it was not long before the association in all its branches felt the tide setting in of a tremendous rush for assistance by all classes and condi- tions of people. “The citizens’ committee did not get or- ganized until rather late, and not until the demand was heavy and nearly at its cli- max in point of numbers. Meanwhile the central office had a little surplus from the previous year, and the Santa Claus Club came in to reinforce that surplus, 80 that we, with a well-equipped force to sift the needy from the imposter, and with patience and economy, were able io meet the demands without much embar- rassment, and saved many from hunger and cold.” Work in the City Divisions, The report goes on to give a sketch of the work in each of the twelve divisions of the District. The first division includes Georgetown and was in charge of J. W. Davis, as secretary, and Miss Dodge, as- sistant secretary. The office was at 1218 Congress street. The second division had headquarters at 2037 H street, with A. M. Gangwer as secretary, and Mrs. M. H. Chapman as agent, covering the territory south of Pennsylvania avenue to the Poto- mac. Mr. Emory says that Mrs. Chapman became faruiliar by personal visits with all the poor families within that division and was able to handle the problem intel- ligently. The headquarters of the third division were at 2117 K street northwest, and were in charge of Mrs. J. E. Pulizzi as agent. She had had thirteen years’ ex- perience at the central office, which en- abled her to manage her division with skill. The division covered the territory north of Pennsylvania avenue to the north- ern boundary of the city. The fourth di- vision extends north of P street from 18th to Ist northeast, and was under the charge of the central office. Later in the season Mr. A. G. Perry took charge of this divis- ion, The fifth division is in the center of the city, between Pennsylvania avenue and New York avenue, west of 7th street. Few cases of distress were found in this section, which was under the care of the central office. The office of the sixth division, which lies between New York avenue and P street, west of 7th street, was on N street between 9th and 10th northwest. This ter- ritory Includes some of the thickly popu- lated alleys from which the needy and some not so needy always thrang when it is known that ald is to be rendered. The work in this division was divided among a number of visitors from the central office, including Rev. C. B. Ramsdell, W. G. Per- ry, Dr, J. O. Adams, Rev. J. H. Bradford, Miss Taylor, Mrs. Dr. Hood and Mrs. Dr. Purvis. The seventh division extends from north of B street to New York avenue and east of 7th street to Ist street northeast. Though including many thickly, populated alleys, it was unorganized last year, being under the care of the central office. Mr. Loring Chappel was director in the eighth division, which includes the territory be- tween Ist street to 15th street northeast,and north of Maryland avenue. He was effectively aided by Mr. W. C. Dodge. Mrs. J. W. Babson of 106 11th street southeast had charge of the ninth division, extend- ing between Maryland and Pennsylvania avenues from the Capitol to the Eastern branch. Mr. Emory, in his report, speaks highly of Mrs. Babson’s work last winter. The tenth division extends from South Capitol street easterly to the branch, south of Pennsylvania avenue, and was under the direction. of Rev. W. E. Parsons, who has been in the work almost since its ex- istence. South Washington comprises the eleventh division, extending to the river. Mr. Emory says that it is the most difficult territory in the city to handle in connection with charity work. Early {n the season its headquarters were established at Faith Chapel, with Rev. George C. Woodruff of that chapei in charge. He has been called away from the city, and will not be avail- able for the same eflicient work this win- ter. The twelfth regular division is known as the Anacostia division, which was un- der the charge of the central office until about the middle of the season, when Mrs. J. W. Polson was placed in charge. The suburban territcry north of this ts covered by visitors from the central office. The Work Well Divided. “The funds during the past year,” con- tinues Mr. Emory's report, “have for the most part passed into the central office and have been apportioned to the different dl- visions as required. Some moncy, how- ever, has been collected by the officers of the divisions and used by them with- out its passage throngh the central of- fice. The werk divided in this way has prevented an cverwhel:ning concentration fat any one point and enables us to more in- telligently, and with promptness and care- ful consideration, prevent the. imposter from obtaining the lon’s share and to di- rect the contributions and assistance where they are most necded. There are no spas- rrodic efforts or occasions, but-a steady and careful watchfulness, which is both economical and helpful to citizenship. “One of the new features of our work has been the employment of women sew- ing. The central office purchased the cloth and when a woman was in need of assis ance and could and preferred to work for the aid she received, we gave her the cloth to make useful garments, paying her a stipulated price, she returning the garments for distribution where they were needed. Early in the season Miss Hattie Blaine, now Mrs. Beall, conferred with the office, and as a result raised the money to purchase cloth and pay ‘the women for their work. She employed forty-five, representing that number of familles who were supported by this work during the greater part of the winter. Mrs. Owens also organized a club, raised money to pay women for sewing, the central office paying for the cloth. About thirty families were supported the greater part of the winter by that agency.” The Record of the Year. The statistics furnished by the general secretary show an increase In the de- mands upon the organization all along the line over the winter previous..

He Says He Will Be Sworn in as Gov- erncr of Alabama. The methcds intended to be pursued by the Kolbites on the matter of Kolb’s in- auguration, at Montgomery, Ala, next Saturday, remain a mystery. Certain it is that Koll will be sworn in, but what the next step will be nobody there knows. Reports from different sections of the | staté indicate that many of Kolb’s fol- lowers will be at Montgomery on Saturday, but whether to assist him in forcibly tak- ing the reins of government or to lend the dignity of numbers to his inauguration is not known. The populist leaders say that Kplb has not consulted them before or since‘ the is- suance of the manifesto declaring himself elected governor, and stating that the grace of God he will take his seat,” and they are therefore taking no hand in the matter. They all unite in the opinion that Kolb cannot assemble a sufficiently large cr well-equipped force on Saturday to offer uny sort of resistance to the state troops, all of whom have been ordered to attend the inauguration of Col. Oates, Capt. Kolb's scheme is no more under- stood by his lieutenants than by his politi- cal adversaries. Many think he will be sworn in, and will then instruct the county officers of his party to refrain from paying over any moneys due the state for taxes into the hands of the state officers install- ed. Under the Alabama law this would be treason, and Kolb would be arrested for it. It is believed he will then appeal to the supreme court and make his alleged elec- tion his defense. Others think he is simply after notoriety. Kolb will not show his hand, and simply: says he will be inaugurated, ‘as stated in his manifesto. Gov. Jones will not talk, but suggests that woe be unto the man’ who attempts an insurrection against the peace and dig- nity of the laws of Alabama. THE RICKS IN VESTIGATION, Cross-Examination of the Defendant. The afternoon session of the Ricks in- vestigation, at Cleveland, yesterday, was devoted to an-examination of Judge Ricks by Mr. Green, who said: “Have you any explanation to offer as to what became of that $1,000 of fees collected from the Central Trust Company?” Judge Ricks—I could do so if the books were before me. Green—In 1803, did Marshal Paskell say to you that he had heard Mr. Sanders say that some stir was being made about the Birdseli case? — think J heard something of that ind. Green—How long was it after these con- versations with Mr. Haskell that you sent a letter to the attorney general? Ricks—I don’t know exactly. Green—You knew you had a report to make, didn’t you? Ricks—I made {t as soon as my leisure and the condition of work in the office per- mitted me to an £0. Green—When did you to Europe? Ricks—In 1891. gi = Green—Had time then, didn’t you? Ricks—That was my summer vacation. Martin W. Sanders, temporary clerk of the United States circuit court, identified certain entries made on the dockets as be- ing in his own handwriting and said: “A number of the cases were ready for decree the day Judge Ricks went on the bench. I suggested that the master’s report be con- firmed, and that the costs be entered. That was done. A few days after that I had oc- casion to go to Judge Ricks’ office. He said the records of cases were his rather than mine, as T had supposed. The outcome was that the fees were taxed to him rather than to me. ave in.” Mr. ‘Did you inciude those fees in your report Sanders—Certainly I did not.” ‘The hearing was adjourned at this point until this morning.
