The woman was denounced as a fraud. The matter was placed In the hands of the police , anil Sunday It culminated In the arrest , of Mrs. William IloaB , * ho la already not unknown to the police. MM. Unas has been working various church conKrcRatlons , and especially those of Trinity cathedral , All Saints' and the First Unitarian church. Her practice hao been to obtain a roll of the membership of each church and visit the prominent members. Shu gave as her refcrcnccn the beat people In the congregations , and therefore had no Olinciilty In securing old. She has acknowl edged her guilt. In her trlpa the woman has given eight different mimca. She also concocted a dif ferent story for each person visited. To one nho said that her huabuml wan Hick ; to still another , that she had tcvon or eight atnrv- liit ; children , anil so on. She told one person that her liuslmml WIIH 111 nnd that she wax In danger of losing all the household furni ture and personal belongings , which had been placed In pawn In order to raise money. This story worked so upon the svmpathlta of the woman to whom It was told that she gave the beggar a gold watch , which waa to be gold and the proceeds used to redeem the pawned uioprrty. The woman succeeded In securing all kinds of clothing and food and In addition reaped a monetary profit Rome people giving her as much as J5. Her rooms on youth Seventeenth- street , when visited , were found stocked with provlslonr nuil clothes. As n matter of fact , she nni her husband were living on the very bes that the market afforded. Hvon wine was found on the premises.

The organization of tlio city council cf IS)7 ! ) will be effected ono week from last night , and nwv the various can- dldntce for the ) prctldrncy arc getting down to work nnd with nil posMblo vigor nro fixing fences. The frequently repented ns- eertlona of the corporation managers that * they wotill not take n hand In the contest hnve been liberally discounted by those who IIP.VC observed the manipulations of thcso Indlvlduaht In the past .nnd consequently no ono Is surprlo < | that within the last day or two the corporations hfive jumped Into the fight with all their umal energy. A week ngo It was promised that the three-cornered contest between Mercer , Ucchel nnd Illngham would be carried on amicably and without any particular fight. The man who proved to have the most voles when the time came would simply bo chosen without serious opposition , nnd the ballot would bo merely n matter of form. Within the past few days certain potentialities nro bringing their strength to boar In favor of Oeorgo Mercer , and thu result Is that several councllmen who were against him a week ago arc now getting ready to assist In hl election. A week ngo It seemed that Mercer was out of It and that I ho race was between Illngham and Heche ) . Now It looks equally certain that Mercer will bo n formidable candidate. It Is now a fight between Mercer and ningham. Uechel Llmaolf Is not an active candidate for the position. Ho says that he ha never even n'ked any councilman to vole for him , but two or three of his friends have been urging him on account of his ability as n presIdIng - Ing olllcer. As the situation now stands ho has no apparent chance on a straight Issue , but there la a possibility that he may hold the balance of power and win as the com prise man. The fight between the corporations and their opponents promises to develop Into about as Interesting n skirmish as baa been observed In several ycaro. There nro Just n half dozen members of the now council who declare that for once nt least the corpora tions shall not organize the council nnd dictate coir.mlttces In tholr Intereots , They claim to hav ; eight votes to begin with , and , with the ren.nlnlng ton divided between two other candidates , they say that the cor poration. ? can bo beaten. With n week of time before them the corporations may be expected to Induce more than onu ; council man to change hi mind. A vigorous effort has already been made to pull Hlngham oft the track. Ho wns seen by representatives of ths corporations , who assured him that If ho would pull out In Mercer's Interests they would sec that ho was made priBldcnt of the council In 1S3S. As ningham's teim expires next year , this did not prove a par ticularly glittering Inducement. Ulri'ghnm gave it out that ho hail not sought the presidency. Some of liU friends had KOCII lit to make him a candidate and so long as any ono of those friends wanted to vote for him ho would remain In the race. The Inducement offered to Illngham Is vcr > similar to the plan by which Saundorn was clouted last January. At that time Mercer wns nn active candidate , but ho pulled out on a pledge from the corpoiatlons that he should get the honor next time. The cor poration managers now say that they an- making the light solely to keep this promise , ns they have no personal objection to any of the candidates.

RECOGNITION LIKELY TO LEAD TO WAR .Senator DrelnrcM Mr Will Vole for It Tilth I'llll KlKMVlcilUI * tlf lllC CoiiNiMiicno | < > H Financial Slilu of An audience of more than ordinary pro portions assembled at the First Methodist church last night to hear Senator John M. Thurston discuss the Cuban question. The address was ono of the scries of talks on llvo questions which form n fenturc of the weekly meetings of the Chautnuqua circle. During the regular program of the course the lecture room was filled to an uncomfort- nblo extent nnd before Senntor Thurston spoke the crowd wns transferred to the audi torium In which every seat was occupied. The speaker was Introduced by 11 , W. Brcck- Inrldgo who spoke of the Importance of the- Cuban question In the minds of the Amer ican people and said that there was no ono better qualified to give the real situation than Senator Thurston. The senator discussed Cuba from the standpoint of ono who had fully made up his mind what the situation cnllod for. In beginning ho announced his Intention to vote- for the recognition of Cuban Independ ence nnd townrds the latter part of his speech his words gave the Impression that he would bo u llttlo disappointed If tlmt ac tion failed to bring on a war. Ho declared that ho did not want war. Hut there were wcrso things. As had been said by nn Omn ha preacher , "war Is God's thunderstorm which clears the atmosphere. " All through history wnr had been the most powerful lactor in bringing about progress. A. wnr that had for its purpose liberty nnd justice wns God's war nnd worked out God's pur pose In the destinies of mankind. Senator Thurston said that ho would c.ist his vote for the recognition of Cubnn Inde pendence with the full knowledge that sucl action wns fraught with grave danger to ou national peace. Spain was the descendan of nn nristocrntlc fnmlly nnd was tenaeiou of family pride. Ho seriously npprehcndei that when this country placed Itself on rcc ord for Cuban recognition the Spanish niln Istry would declare war on the Unltcc States regardless of the consequences. BLOT ON CIVILIZATION. rtcferrlng to Cuba , the speaker said that the situation was a blot on the clvlllzci world and a reproach to every American cltlzon. Its condition called for patriotic action by every lover of liberty on this side of the ocean. This country also had a com mercial interest In the matter. Cuba un der normal conditions produced and ex ported 100,000.000 pounds of sugar , of which 90 per cent came to this country. The United States also consumed more than 6 ( per cent of nil Its other products. Under normal conditions the opportunity was open to the people of this country to exchange for these commodities the products of the United States. The present condition of Cuba was some thing awful to contemplate. Spain was carrying on the same port of warfare with which It had almost depopulated Mexico nnd Peru. Their warfare was characterized by the same cruelty nnd bigotry that had established and maintained the Inquisition. The 1,600,000 people of Cuba were absolutely ruled by 150,000 Spaniards. Senator Thurston referred to the rebel lion that begun in 1SC8 , and in which with less than 10,000 men In arms the Cubans had for ten years defied Spain's standing army of 1GO.OOO men. They were never beaten nnd finally Spain was compelled to compromise on what appeared to bo a Just basis. This war had cost Spain 200,000 men and $700,000,000 In money , nnd yet there were people In the United States who de- clnred thnt the Cubans were not capable of Eclf-government nnd that they should be allowed to ram a In under the dominion of the Spanish crown. The Cubans were not as well educated as we might wish , but when would they ever be nny better fitted for self-government ns long as the Spanish rule was continued. The governments founded by Mexico and the South American republics that had broken nwny from Spain had no'j been stable nt first , but during the past three-quarters of a century they had boon firadually working out the plan of self goveinmcnt. From the moment the Span ish Hag left the Island of Cuba Its people would never ECO a day when they would not bo better governed than they wore un der the Spanish dominion. The rcguluar program of the Chautauqua circle which preceded Senator Thurston's address consisted of four essays on matters nnd events connected with French history , which the circle Is now studying. Mrs. W. F. Mllroy nnd Mrs. White dUcussed "Tho Intelligence of France , " Charles Battcll spoke of the cities of France outside of Paris and J. 0.

At the regular meeting of the Fire and Police board last night the subject of grantIng - Ing a pension to the widow of the late Chief Galllgan of the fire department was brought up for a flnnl hearing. T. J. Mnhoncy , attor ney for Mrs. Gnlllgnn , wns present as nlso wore n number of witnesses for his client. Dr. J. H. Pcabody testified to treating the Into chief for pneumonia which ho was of the opinion had been Incurred by exposure whllo attending fires. Fireman Blake , who formerly drove for Galllgan , stated that he knew of many Instances whcro the chief had suffered hemorrhages while working at a fire during his last years of service. Fre- man Gilbert corroborated the statements of Blake. Mrs. Galllgan nnd nlso the mother of the deceased were placed on the stand nnd gave an outline of the chief's sickness which finally caused his death. According to the late order Issued by Judge Keysor from the district court the Fire nnd Police board will have to make n decision in the matter , so at last evening's session the board announced thnt It would tnkc It under aitvisemcnt until mursuny ami inane known Its decision at the special meeting on that day which will bo held nt 3 o'clock.
