Y., April 9.—Chief of Police Little went to Susquehanna, Pa., and brought back Miss Ella White, the music teacher, who swindled all her friends in the city. The book in which her extensive operations in grain, oil and stocks were recorded, has been found and shows that the remorseless tiger has clutched about D25,000, all of which has been mulcted from Miss White's unsuspecting friends. A fellow boarder fell in love with her, and she charmed him out of $8,000. The accomplished female swindler borrowed money everywhere, giving chattel mortgages on mining stock she never owned and on shares in silk mills in Massachusetts that never existed.

C., lord advocate of Scotland, introduced a Scotch local government bill. The measure creates county councils to be elected by householders. Burghs having less than 7,000 inhabitants are to be merged into counties under one government, but towns of population greater than 7,000 are to be self governed. The powers of the county councils include the right to pass private bills, a power hitherto invested in parliament alone. This is palpably a step toward home rule. New York, April 9.—Mme. A. l'Homme Bougliuvale, a cabin passenger from Havre mi La Qascogne Sunday, is detained at Castle Gorden as an insane person.

TREASURER HUSTON'S QUALIFICATION. Mrs. Kate Hogan, a widow, who lent $3,000 on securities worth nothing, has gone insane. With unparalleled assurance Miss White indorsed her notes with the names of her father «nd other friends whenever necessary. Yesterday afternoon an effort was 'made to settle with her creditors. So numerous were they that the offices of Reynolds, Stadcbfield & Collier, the largest in the city, were overcrowded. Miss White was led weeping to jail and will be arraigned on charges of grand larceny and forgery. Her father is a superannuated employee of the Erie shops at Susquehanna and has transferred his property, amounting to $2,600. The members are active in passing counterfeit money. Within three days it has become known that a large package of counterfeit ten cent pieces lecently cam) from New York to a member of the order here, and that some of the pieces have been pat in circulation by a banana vender. The saloon before mentioned will be c'osed as its 'iconse expires. The $150,000 bond of Mr. Huston, the new United States treasurer, was received by the solicitor ot the treasury yesterday. After being approved the bond was sent to Secretary Windom. ThtD*l.eath of Judge McCue while holding office as sub-treasurer at New York and the appointment of Mr. Huston to succeed Treasurer Hyatt will cause some delay In Mr. Huston's qualification. "Mr. Rob erts, the newly appointed sub-treasurer at New York, will not qualify until Monday next, and Treasurer Hyatt will be compelled to remain in New York until the bond if filed. This will prevent Mr. Huston frttm qualifying until after Mr. Hyatt shall have returned. The counts at both the United States treasury and the sub-treasury will begin next week and will occupy about a fort night.

She wore costly jewels and carried a watdh valued at $500. Her insanity, with which »he became afflicted during the voyage, is of the harmless kind, but was of such a nature as to attract the attention »f her fellow passengers and the officers of the steamer during the trip across the ocean.

London, April 9.—Mr. Albert Bright's trip to Italy has been postponed indefinitely, and it is now possible that he may make his appearance at the Unionist meetings to be held in Birmingham between the present time a»d Monday, when tho election to fill the seat made vacant by the death of his father will be held. Mr. Chamberlain will not assist at the meetings. The Unionist leaders have warned him that his apijearance on the platform would be the signal for an uproar on the part of those who dissent from his political course. The history of the deal between the Unionists and the Tories with regard to the nomination of candidates for the seat for the Central division of Birmingham is gradually oozing out. It appears that Lord Hartington favored the candidacy of Lord Randolph Churchill, and the Tories were quite willing that he kMould stand, but Mr. Chamberlain insisted upon the nomination of Mr. Bright, and threatened to disrupt the Unionist-Tory coalition if Chjirphi.l should be sheeted.

Rochester, April 9.—There was more trouble yesterday than on any day during the strike of the car drivers. Hoodlums interfered on lines on which there bad before been no trouble. There is also a deficiency in police protection so that the company did not run as many cars as it claims to have drivers for. Five aldermen called on the officers of the oar company and requested that they hold a conference on the subject of the strike with a committee of the men, The company agree 1 to a conference with the ftptual strikers, but stipulated that the men discharged without oausj being assigned should not part cipate. This the men refused to accede to and will hold no conference unless the discharged men are allowed to take part. This .* the status of affairs a d hopes of a settlement seem as far off as ever.
