Sarah Emery, alias Emerson, colored, who for some time past, the police say, has been systematically stealing from residences where she has been employed as a domestic, was arraigned before Justice Richardson yesterday morning, but the hearing of the case was continued until July 28. The Emery woman at the time of her arrest Monday was employed as a domestic in the family of B. Bell, a member of the firm of Bell, Conrad wholesale tea and coffee merchants at Nos. 62 and 64 Michigan avenue. During the greater part of 1893 she was employed by Jane Winslee, at No.

2417 Michigan avenue, but during the latter part of her stay there was suspected of stealing articles of jewelry and silverware. Later she was discharged on that account. Officers Farnsworth and Sullivan visited the house on Michigan avenue, and learned of the stealings there during the defendant's employment at that place. After several days' work they finally traced her to the house of Mr. Bell, on Drexel boulevard.

It was some time before they could discover what she did with the stolen goods, but setter which had been sent by Emma Harris of No. 5411 Cottage Grove avenue to Mr. Bell, warning him of the woman, fell into the hands of the officers, and they followed her to 4015 Cottage Grove avenue, a tenement-house occupied by a large number of negroes. In a room on the top floor of this building the officers discovered hundreds of dollars' worth of goods, which they say were stolen the Emery woman from various familles In Chicago. Property belonging to both Mre.

Bell and Mrs. Winslee was found by the officers in the room. Some time ago Mrs. Bell missed a diamond pin valued at $350. The pin was a keepsake, and regarded as priceless.

The Emery woman was a witness in the celebrated Dunham divorce case, which was tried some time ago. She testified in behalf of ex-Congressman Dunham, and yesterday he called at the Harrison street police station and, it is said, was instrumental in securing a bondsman for the prisoner.

Raymond Gregg of No. 3815 Langley avenue said he assisted rescuing the horses, but did not know whether or not any of the burned men were in the barn at the time of the fire.

Chicago, July To the is a grand thing to have railroad tracks elevated, but in the meantime I would like to ask a question or two. During this elevating work all crossings are closed, and passengers by street cars are compelled to foot it from one side of the crossing to the other, which sometimes includes two or three blocks.

This is an inconvenience which we could easily endure in the day time, but after dark nobody seems responsible for life or limb at these crossings. Take the crossing at Lincoln avenue and the Northwestern tracks for an example. Coming home the other night a policeman, the watchman there, kindly informed the passengers from Bowmanville car. who pay two fares, that we must turn to the left. We did turn to the left.

and everything there was dark as black cat In a dark cellar. No one knew there was a steep sandbank, and that the bottom was far below. One poor lady with a baby in her arms only found this out by rolling down. The way to the connecting car was just as dark, and any one who held polley in an accident insurance company had good chance to get comparatively wellto-do. We almost reached the long-hoped-for goal.

-when two bells--the motorman's questionsounded, and Immediately after the conductor's two-bell signal was heard, and we could just see the tools grinning at us as they left us to wait for the next car. Now for the question: 1. Would It not be possible to place a lantern or two along this dark and dangerous passages? 2. Whose duty should it be, the car company's, the railroad compans's, or the city's? And I must add another question. Suppose an accident should happen there, who would be liable? J.

The Detroit Free Press publishes the tollowing: In my judgment an association of men eminent In business and otherwise should be formed In this city without delay, whose duty it should be to write, or procure to be written, a large number of tracts treating solely the question of sound money, to contain not more than 1.000 words each, and to be printed in large type and upon good paper.

These should be distributed, or be ready for distribution by the middle of August, and copies should be placed in the hands of evers page-earner and farmer in the State of Michigan. They would best subserve the purpose If drawn up in the form of a catechism, of which I append a specimen: Q. What is the fundamental contention of the free-coinage advocates? A. That the amount of money in circulation has been decreasing since the demonetization of sitver, and that this decrease has caused a general fall in prices. Q.

Is it true that the money supply has been decreasing? A. It is not. Q. What are the facts? A. As far as the United States is concerned there has been an enormous increase.

In 1860 the money in circulation in this country was in 1872 it was the treasury bulletin at the beginning of the present month of July it Q. What does this show? A. It shows that our money supply has increased 240 per cent as compared with 1860, and 104 per cent as compared with 1872. Q. Has the money supply increased faster than the population? A.

Very much faster. Q. How do you prove this? A. By dividing the total money in circulation at each date by the total population of the country at the same date, and thus finding the circu.ation per capita. Q.

What does such a process show? A. The July per capita 1860, circulation of the Untted States on 1, was on July 1, 1872. It at the beginning of July in 1896 1t was $21.15. Q. But has not the money supply of the world large been decreasing? A.

On the contrary, it has been increasing rapidly. Q. How is this proved? A. By the statistics of new god production. How large has this production been? A.

The reports of the director of the mint, from 1873 to 1894. inclusive, the world's total which are acknowledged authority, show that new gold production has been $2.526.834.900. Q. Is this new product of gold increasing or decreasing? A. It is increasing with enormous rapidity.

Q. Give the figures. A. In 1873 the world's gold production was in 1880. it was $106.436,800.

In the sear 1890 it was $118,849,000. In 1894 it was $180,626,100. For 1895 the exact total is not yet complied, but is c'osely estimated at $199,500,000. Q. What does this mean? A.

It means that the amount of gold annually added to the word's money supply has more than doubled in the last twenty-three sears. Q. But has not the issue of silver with full coinage privileges cut down the total annual addition to the world's metallic money supply! A. It has not. Q.

Why? A. In 1873 the world's gold production was 200.000; its silver production, total, $178.000.000. Last sear the production of gold alone was $199.500.000. Catechisms of a similar kind are being c.reulated in various parts of the country, and why not In Michigan? Much of the arguments which I have read come perilous' near the doctrines of Henry George, who may be set down as the Great Apostle of Confiscation. The above catechism is a specimen of the work of Horace White and others.

Upon arriving all on board the vessel, including Frank Monks of Boston, who was a passenger, were placed under arrest. The United States Consul bere telegraphed to Washington for instructions, pending the recelpt of which he has enjoined all connected with the affair to maintain the strictest silence. In view of these conditions it is difficult to obtain further facts, but it appears that the murders were committed at 2 o'clock the night of the 13th Inst. Captain Nash and his wife were In their respective sleeping apartments and Bramberg was in his, which was separated from those of Captain Nash and wife by the room occupied by Monks.

It was the first officer's watch. When all was quiet on board and those below were soundly sleeping the murderer or murderers crawled aft to the cabin and with axes chopped their victims to death. Negro Cook Takes Command. The affair became known not long afterward. Then the cook, a negro who had shipped at Rosario, became suspicions of Mate Thomas Bram, Nova Scotian and naturalized American, and Bram was- placed in irons.

The man who was at the wheel when the murders were committed was also placed in irons, and the ship was then beaded for Halifax. The bodies of the victims were all placed In a boat and covered with canvas and were towed behind the vessel. They are now in charge of the coroner here, who will ho.d an inquest. Police officers have been placed in charge of the Fuller under direction of the United States Consul, and nobody is allowed on board. The Herbert Fuller hails from Harrington, Me.

Monks first became aware of the horrible crime when he went to the captain's room to inquire if the captatin was ill, having been aroused from his sleep by a groan or a scream. Failing to receive an answer, he entered the room, and found the captain lying on the floor covered with blood. He rushed on deck and confronted the first mate, who was in charge, with the statement that the captain had been murdered. Bram, the mate, seemed much agitated, and appcared not to know what to do. Monks Arouses the Crew.

Monks then rushed below and aroused the crew. The men hurried to the cabin, where the full extent of the crime was made known. As the bodies lay in their respective rooms they presented a horrible sight. Mra. Nash's skull had been split almost la twain.

The fingers of her right hand had been almost while another blow of the ax had cut off a section of the scalp with the bair attached. Her husband's head was also split the second mate, Bramberg. had evidently been killed with the pole of the ax. Bram at first dented all of the murder, but later, from remarks let fall and peculiar actions, suspicion pointed toward him as the murderer, and he was placed in irons. Lahez, the man at the wheel, was also suspected of complicity, and was ironed by the crew.

"He looked at my teeth, Just as if I was a horse, and said to Detective Bock or a clerk: 'Put him down as 22 years I can prove I am only 19 years old by my sister." Annie Stephens, who lived with Frank Crawford as his wife, testified that she was present when the money was divided. The division took place in her apartments on Washington boulevard.

"Doc" Lee divided the money and there was a quarrel over the matter, the other men declaring that "Doc" Lee was unfair in his division, he taking more than iNs share.

Gerbach swore savagely when he returned to his cell. the only one to go to the 'pen' for this job," said be.
