London, March 25.—A special cabinet council was suddenly summoned and was held in the premier's private room adjoin im the house of commons instead of at his official residence in Downing street. It is understood that the ministers wen called together with this unusual baste in oonso qucnee of news of successful Russian intrigues both at Penjtleh and Constantinople. At the former place CoL Alikhanoff has bees scheming to alienate the Afghan garrison from British influence, and at Constant! nople M. Nelidoff. the Russian minister, hat been assiduously urging a secret treaty between Turkey and Russia. It is said that news was received which showed that the success of both these intrigues was imminent, unless England could concilate the sultan. This gave Lords Granvillo and Kimberly, the secretaries for foreign affairs and for India. Just the argument they needed to induce their colleagues to parley with Turkey. It is said that Mr. Gladstone stoutly resisted any concessions to tho -'unspeakable Turk," but that he was finally convinced against his will that some such course was necessary for British safety both in Afghanistan and Egypt. UST LIKE FERDINAND WARD IN A SMALL SCALE. Bangor, Me., March 25.—The recent stonn and gala was general in New Brunswick. Movements in all directions and at all points have been clogged In St. John, where the people are always beet prepared to carry on business and faoe the elements, the fury of tho storm was more Hi«n could be cultured. Sixteen inches of snow fell, and a Lurricane with a velocity of 00 miles per hour played perfect havoc with the town. The drifts stood as high as some of the houses. They formed an impassable barrier to travel everywhere. A vast quantity of snow had to be removed in order to open the approaches, to business places that were blockaded. On the railroads the greatest inconvoniencea were experienced. Trains were unixi umoniously brought to a standstill as if Vesuvius had buried the track with the contents ot one of her unannounced eruptions. They were held up between stations and were able to go neither forward nor backward. In one instance an engine became stuck in a huge drift, and the engineer walked to Carlton for additional locomotive force, which, when it arrived, proved ot no avail in. helping the passengers out.

Man of ftnppoaed Exemplary Habits Makes Away with Trust and Corporation Funds—An Kxtenslve Swindler RallrMd Umslu-Chl^te ProTialn Markets, tm4 There are many people from the neighbor hoOd at Chivorius' home who have knowu frotn infancy Thomas Judson Cluverius. From some of them it is learned that a few years ago Samuel Tuns tall, a well-to-do far mer of King and Queen county and an undf of Cluverius, made a donation of (5,000 to a well-known educational institution of this city. The remainder of his estate he left tc his wife, at whose house Cluverius was found and arrested fay the officers from this city. At the death of Mrs. Tun stall the estate was to be divided between Thomas J. Cluverius and Miss Fanny Lillian Madison. In the event of the death of the one or the other of these parties the survivor was to inherit the whole estate. Mrs. Tunstall, the aunt of Cluveriris, is advanced in life. Cluverius, a membei'of her family, seeing age gradually but-sorqly making inroads upon an otherwise not strong frame, and being a lawyer by profession and knowing the delays and costs the bequests of his uncle might be subjected to. perhaps thought the best, surest, safest and most profitable way out of his dilemma wou'd be to murder the co-heir of his uncle'f estate, thereby doubling his estate and at the same time getting rid of the woman who stood between him and his affianced. If this be the correct interpretation of Samuel Tun stall's will it's not unreasonable to suppose that a desire for more money prompted the crime. In an Insane Asylum. Washington, March 25.—In addition to a long list of arthy promotions, the president sent to the senate three nominations in which • good deal cf interest was thown by the politicians and rank and file of the Democratic party. The» were William A. J. Sparks, of Lancaster, Pa., March 26.—A correspondent visited the scene of the Linville tragedy and a wilder country can scarcely be found. The scene of the murder (for such it will prove), although the report of Edward Linville's death extensively telegraphed was premature, is in the picturesque Pequea Valley, which stretches north ward from the Pennsylvania railroad at the gap to the Welsh Mountain on the north. The home of the Lin vine's is an unpretentious farm house set in from the pubUc road and as isolated as can well be imagined. Overlooking the dwelling, though nearly two mil* are the Welsh Mountains, on whoee sides an the huts Of as desperate and cunning a set of thieves as over plagued a community. Batavia, N. Y., March 25.—Charles H. Howard, who had been largely engaged in real estate speculations hero, made an assignment a week ago. Though only about 80 years of age he enjoyed the confidence of the community to an unusual degree. He was partner in the firm of Howard & Co., coal and lumber dealers; had held important positions in the Loon and Bidding a.. .cuuioii and Homestead company and was secretary of the Post Sewing Machine company. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and at one time superintendent of the Sunday school. In his assignment he gave preferences for more than $12,- 000, but this did not begin to cover his indebtedness, which has been growing daily for a Week past, and the developments have been such as to cause great astonishment and indignation in the village. He has been borrowing money for the past few .months from whoever he could obtain anything, giving notes of the firm of Howard & Co. to secure the money, which he used in his individual business, pledging as collateral mortgages on property which was already encumbered for its full value, and using trust and company funds to meet obligations that he incurred on his own responsibility. Some of his victims were poor people who placed their all in his hands, believing it more securely invested there than in the bank. [As rvported by Judd, Nye fc Oa., Brokers.

Muldrow, of Mississippi, for assistant secretary of the interior, and Daniel MoConvffle, of Ohio, for auditor of the treasury for the post office department. As these wen portions regarded as properly within the reach ot working politicians, the list was scanned by the place hunters with more interest than the recent diplomatic appointments. Judging from the comments heard among the rank and file, the appointments wen receive J with more satisfaction than those of Monday. They were generally taken by the politicians as indicating that President Cleveland does not intend always to ignore those who s6ek for offioo when they an recommended by congressional delegations and party workers. It was pointed oat that the selection of ex-Congresaman Sparks for land commissioner was due to the efforts of most of the Illinois delegation, by whom he was strongly indorsed. It was also asserted that ex-Congressman Muldrow's nomination was the result of like influences, while Mr. McConville was gleefully declared to be at least one active politician who had received an appointment. These were the views of the crowd. In other circles the nominations were regarded as moderately good, although it was conceded that they wen hardly on the same high level as those hitherto made by Mr. Cleveland. It was said that Mr. Sparks knew something about the public land business, because under President Pierce he was an officer of the United States land office in Illinois. He was a presidential elector in Illinois on the Buchanan , ticket the but time the state was carried by the Democrats, and John A. Logan, then a Democrat, was on the same ticket. The delay in selecting a land commissioner is said in administration circles to have been due to President Cleveland) desire to become thoroughly acquainted with the qualifications of the various applicants before making a selection. Mr. Sparks is credited with a good deal of combativeness, a quality which made him some enemies when he was in congress, and which his friends assert will be displayed when he discovers any crooked transactions in his department. Mr. Muldrow's nomination is declared to be at the request of Secretary Lamar, with whom he has long been on tho most friendly terms, and in whose congressional district he resides. His selection is disappointing to the friends of  man Post, who had hoped to see him given the position Mr. Clark did not live to fill, ■'l'he nomination of Mr. McConville to sucoeed Judge Croweli in the sixth auditor's offloo was a surprise. Judge Croweli was promoted to the auditorship after the death at Mr. Ela last year, and his character and abilities have been such that his friends expected him to remain in the office fersomo time, while many hoped that the president would recognise his merit by retaining him indefinitely. Mr. McConville is known hero as a very active worker in Ohio state politics. His appointment is duo to the request of Gov. Hoadly, Mr. McConville being the governor's private secretary. He is intimately acquainted with the work of the Democratic party in Ohio, and is described by Ohio politicians hen as being a royal good fellow and a thorough Democrat. Bo far as can be learned in Washington, Mr. McConville is competent to perform the dalles which fall to tho lot of the sixth auditor. Judge Croweli handed in his resignation to Secretary Manning, feeling that if the secretary desired to make a change in thr office tba auditor ought cheerfully to aoquiesee. The appointment of Mr. MoConville will no doubt be claimed by the McLean Democrats of Ohio as a sort of balm to feelings deeply wounded by the nomination of Mr. Pendleton to a first-class mission. The capacity of the McLean people to "claim things" is undisputed, but they will not easily be able to demonstrate that in this appointment they have won a substantial victory. Gov. Hoadly obiained it, as the president is disposed to be very friendly to him, and at the same time to admit the services of a very clever, if somewhat Tildenish, Ohio politician. Mr. McConville is a blight, affable, energetic person, without aversion to neat clothing and the use of hair brushes, and he has the business ability to fill the office for which he was chosen. Here dwells Abe Buzzard, but the outrage on the Linvilles is not attributed to him by those best informed In the matter. It was the work of those who were more familiar with the Linvilles and their affairs than Abe Buzzard or any of his gang could have been, and in some* respects is not unlike the famous Clugstone mystery. Miss Emma Linville is about 45 years of age, intelligent and prepossessing, who, with her bachelor brother, Edward P., lived in this secluded pbuft, which they jointly inherited from their father. The murderous thieves, as was afterwards ascer tained, effected an entrance by cutting through the front door and slipping the bolt. It was between 18 and 1 o'clock Monday morning when Miss Linville hearing steps at her door thought it Was her toother, who had come to call her, believing it to be morning, and said: "Yes, Edward, I'm awake." The next instant the light of a dark lantern flashed in her face, and she saw three men, one carrying a gun, the others carrying revolvers. Crying loudly for help, and he brother, hearing her screams, rushed unarmed to her assistance, when one of the wretches deliberately raised his weapon and fired just as the rescuer was entering the door. The bullet struck Linville in the breast, passed through a door and buried itself in the wall of an opposite room. In an instant there was a second flash, a second report and the brother fell prostrate, exclaiming: "Great God, I'm kilted." As s6on as the cabinet council was over, Lord Granville went ttf the foreign office and summoned Musurus Pasha, the Turkish ambassador, and Hassan Fehmy Pasha, the Turkish minister of justice, who is here as a special envoy of the sultan, to a conference. Both the Turkish diplomats promptly rosponcK*!, and a long interview ensued. Musurus Pasha emerged from the foreign office looking radiant, and having the appearance of a man who liad obtained something that he had long sought. Fehmy Pasha could not be found after the interview. It is certain that negotiations of a most important character are progressing between Great Britain and Turkey, and this fact tends to greatly complicate the AngUvRussian problem. Dcvicos were resorted to to lighten the trains by crowding the passengers into baggage and postal cars, and leaving the other airs on tho track, but even by *hi« mrsn" they were unable to reach the station. A train from Frederic ton in a run of 80 miles to Frodericton junction was snowbound all night and part of the next day in the wilderness, and the passengers wan a whole day without food. Most trains, however, were held up in some town, and the passengers had to while away the long hour* at delay, Railroad travel was more completely closed on the New Brunswick lines for years before. Trains are now their regular runs for the first time for nearly a week.

Stories of the plans he adopted to secure funds put in the shade some of the operations of Ferdinand Ward. Howard's assets were comparatively nothing, he having turned over most of his property to secure debts before the assignment. Immediately after the assignment Mr. Howard went to Buffalo, where, it is said, he developed symptoms of in amity so rapidly that it was deemed advisable to place him under restraint, and, on tho certificate of physicians, Judge Hammond committed him to the insane asylum. This happened just before the sheriff appeared to serve paper* upon Howard in an action brought by some of his creditors, and caused much adverse criticism in Batavia, it being the general sentiment that be was placed in the asylum to prevent his going to prison, but it is learned from undoubted authority that he is at the present time suffering from a disordered brain. Dayton, March 25.—About three months ago tho churches of this city inaugurated a series of revival meetings which are still continued. Peoplo by the hundreds have flocked to their meetings, and the result is that many who never before attended church have become converted. Among the converts was 9 young man known as "Curly" Bucher, a lively, reckless sort of sinner, but now one of the hardest workers in the vineyard. In the days of his recklessness ho was familiar with a woman who seemed to have him in her power. She forced him from the church, but he returned and all and threats were in vain. BOYCOTTING A RINK. REV. WILLIAM HARRIS DEAD. Strikers Otyectlng to Their Enemies Being The Treasurer of Princeton Expires Cndei Allowed to Skate. Distressing Circumstances. Nkwark, N. J., March 25.—Men and women quit work several day* ago in the hat factory of F. Berg & Co., in Orange Valley, on account of tbd discharge by Berg ft Co. at a few girls. The bosses say the girls were dismissed for a good causa, but the girls believed the cause was nothing but the fact that they had joined a protective society composed of hat trimmers. When Berg ft Co. refused to take the girls back again, other women in the shop struck, and immediately all the men followed them. Then the firm employed foul hatters ani girls who are not oonnccted with the trimmers' society. On last Friday the strikers began boyeot ting. J. H. Fiedler, a barber; Valentine Kc-rr, a newsdealer, and John Mengell, a saloon keeper, were first notified that if the) sold anything to Berg ft Co., or their prceent employee, the strikers would not buy (rf them. The next day otlrc storekeepers received s similar notice, and on Saturday night several of the striken went to the Empire rink in South Orange and asked William raft, the manager, not to let any person new employed by Berg ft Co. have skates. Th» strikers said if their request was not grantee they would keep out of the rink thsmsstrst and infiuenoe others to remain away. The strikers and others who occupy house* belonging to Berg ft Co. threaten to move out of them unless the firm will discharge itC foul hand?. Mr. Berg says he wi'l not yield, and if necessary he will open a store when his employes may buy what they need. Savannah, Go., March 25.—Rev. William Harris, treasurer ot Princeton college, N. J., and a Presbyterian minister of considerable eminence, died suddenly in this city at 4 o'clock. He was traveling alone, and hi* identity was not discovered for some time. After his arrival in this city by train from Jacksonville, Fla., ho entered the railroad restaurant for breakfast. After the meal had been placed before him he asked for some hot water, and it being brought to him be took a small vial from his pocket and after mixing tho contents, since proven to be bromide of sodium, drank the liquid. On Sunday evening she .became desperate and arming herself with a revolver she went to the church determined to shoot "Curly." A note betraying her intentions preceded her and as soon as she arrived and was seated one of the elders arose and startled the congregation by the announcement that there was a woman present with a revolver in her pocket who had attended the services to com mit murder. He did not denounce her, but uttered a pathetic prayer m her behalf. The entire servioes of the evening were directed at the woman and she left the church subdued and in tears. She returned Monday night and was then again last night. She has asked for the prayers of the congregation, who are now hopeftal of making her a useful member of the church. : ai ."ff* Clewing  "You're not; shut up, shut up, shut up!" yelled the burly brute as he jumped on the prostrate body of the wounded mtul' and tried to stamp out the little spark of life that was left. The sister was now assailed most violently, accompanied by threats that made her shudder. She was then compelled to direct them to the money (a paltry (78) in the brother's secretary. They secured the funds quickly and departed, warning the Linvilles under penalty of death to no outcry inside of ten minutes. No sooner had the burglars left the premises than Miss Linville ran to the nearest neighbors, 800 yards away, alarmed the family, and then returned to the side ot her bleeding, dying brother. The firm of Howard & Co., the moneyed man of which was Maj. H. I. Glowacki, was obliged to make an assignment and Mr. Glowacki, as an individual, also assigned, the employes and his wife bBing the only preferred creditors. The firm did an extensive business, but Howard, unknown to his partner, has floated so much paper in the firm's name and so misappropriated the proceeds that the assignment was made necessary. The astonishing developments has created a great deal of excitement in Batavia.

The result was,the formation of a plan which will rid the community ol the bands of outlaws who have carried terror to the homes of the inhabitants of this usually peaceful valley. ~*f La Libebtad, San Salvador, via Galveston, March 26.—Couriers arriving here from thecity of Son Salvador report that in the latter place the greatest consternation prevail, because Of the approach of President Barrios at the head of his army. The wouldbe dictator is reported to be Stacaniped this morning at the lake near Metapan, about 150 miles from here. His army, which was first thought to number only 8,000 men, is now said to be double that number. He has considerable artillery and cavalry. It is said he is being re-enforced every day. .The most misleading reports are being scattered over this republic and become more exaggerated at each telling. Many of the rich citizens of San Salvador have deported the city and fled to the mountains. Others have taken ship from this port The country is full of Bar rios' spies, and :the San Salvadorian army, which numbers less than -1,500 men, is said to be in a state of revolt.

Bcttalo, March 25.—In reply to the question what he thought of the appointment of Mr. Phelps as minister to England, James Mooney, ex-president of the Irish national league, said: "Personally I&ave no knowledge of Mr. Phelps, but I hope be will be a fair man The great trouble is we never can tell what a man is going to do until he gets to England. So many are caught by the glamour of the court They go as Americans, but it seems they readily become sympathizers with the British government I suppose the appointment of Mr. Phelps was at Mf.

The entire family depended for support on the exertions of the oldest boy, Tom, a bright lad of 13, who sold newspapers. Last fall, Tom, while selling papers, was run over by a Lynn horse car and lost an arm, but so anxious was he to make money tor his father and brothers Ihit within six weeks of the accident he was again at work. The housekeeping of the fataily was performed by the second soo, a child of 10, who also took care of his younger brother, and the revenue of the family rarely exceeding 16 cents a day. The description of the family touched many hearts, and contributions for their assistance were received from several sources. Among those most deeply interested was a banker, who sought to recover damages for the loss of Tom's arm. The railroad compromised the case by the payment of $2,000. A small portion of this will be given to Mr. McDermott to relieve bis present necessities and the balance placed in the hands of responsible parties for the education of stout-hearted Tom.

London, March 25.— Lord Dufferin's vigorous preparations to me& any hostility offered by Russia continue to excite the admiration of those who have become disgusted with Mr. Gladstone's temporizing policy. The viceroy has completed his arrangements for the concentration of an army corps of SO,000 men at Pisheen, with a reserve of 10,000 men, all under the supreme command of Sir Donald Martin Stewart, K.

The Senate Soon to Adjourn. Washington, March 25.—Owing to the protracted debate on the pending supplemental treaty with Mexico proceeding (or a rehearing of the Weil La Abra private claims the day upon which final adjournment ol the senate will take plaoe is still an uncer tainty. In the language of a member of that body: "There is no telling how long senators will talk upon this aged subject." The same senator expressed the belief that as soon as ■ debate upon the treaty shall have bean concluded the senate would quickly adjourn, bat that it was certain the pending treaty wou)4 occupy the time of the senate in executive -sessions—when not engaged upon nominations—up to the day of final adjournment. It is the general impression that the special session will terminate the latter part of this week. Das Moines.

Fall River, Mass., March 25.—The cases of poverty and distress among the poor classes here are gradually increasing and the city is beginning to experience some difficulty in providing for its poor. Several cases of extreme distress have come to the notice of the overseers of the poor, one of which is a widow with a houseful of children occupying • tenement in the lower section of the city, and who had not had a fire in her home nor a mouthful to eat for weeks past, unless that provided by some of her neighbors. Cases of this nature are vary common, as the people are generally too proud to call on the city for assistance. The condition of the laboring people, particularly those engaged in cotton factories, k deplorable and is gradually becoming worse. The streets are filled with idle m?n, both young and old, and it is evident that unless there is an immediate change in the present inactive state of the industries here thsre will he untold suffering and misery among the poor.
