Boston, November 23. -William Reed, treasurer of the South Boston horse rail road company, was arrested this morning | nt. his home in South Boston by Inspectors Hanscom and Houghton upoii a warrant charging him wilh the embezzlement of $35,000 of the railroad funds. In the police station Reed confessed his guilt, rind acknowledged the embezzlement of $00,600 in cash and an over issue of 345 shares of the stock of the road having a cash value of $34,500, making the total amount of the defalcation $104,000, Reed became treasurer of the company about eight, years ago. Ho had been very active and efficient in looking after the' affairs of the company and had the fullest confidence of the hoard of di rectors. His unauthorized use of the company’s funds began, it is stated, in 1881. lie invested heavily in Mexican Central securities at high prices, and suc ceeded until a few days ago in concealing his illegal operation's from the oilier officials of the company. The discov-, cry "of his irregularities was caused by the election of Chus. H. Horsy to the presidency of the company. That gentle man and Hon. Benj. Dean, one of the di rectors, began an investigation about ten days ago, which resulted in an application for a warrant for Reed’s arrest. Reed had been ill at his home for three or tour days, but he accompanied the officers to the po lice headquarters. Soon after his arrest ho turned e ver to the directors ail of his prop erty, worth about $15,009, and his secur- ties worth about $10,000. He also made over his stock contracts which he and the directors believe will nearly if not quite make good the full amount of his embezzlement. Reed was arraigned in the municipal court this after noon. He waived examination, and was held in $50,000 bonds for the grand jury, in default of which he was committed to Jail. A gentleman familiar with the inside facts connected with Treasurer Reed’s embez zlement, and who has known him for years, said this afternoon that it would be impossible for some time yet to state positively how much the loss will be. An expert has been at work on the company's books for a week, and from the present appearances, says this gentlemafi, it would seem as if the company has been practically ruined by Reed’s defalcation, undoubtedly it.*, capital stock and surplus will be wiped out entirely. Reed has been engaged some six or seven years ill de frauding the company mid it is a matter of surprise that his crookedness was not discovered long before. The discovery came about in this way: Reed had been speculating in stocks for a number of years and losing constantly. After losing all tin- money stolen from the company, Reed put up overissues of the company’s stuck as col lateral for margins on stocks being carried for him. Bo mu b of the company’s papers lacing offered without apparently any reason for it, ns it was supposed the com pany had m ney on hand to pay bins aroused suspicion and the directors wore notified. * An examination was begun, and while it was pending Reed was kept under con slant, surveillance at his residence by men hired by the company. Reed broke down j completely. He fairly cursed himself into : a severe sickness, and was unsparing in | his denunciations of his folly and crime. ! It is stated that this is the first defalcation by an over issue of fitoek known in ibis city. It is probable that when the certificates of stock are offered for verification at the- company’s office in about one month’s time it will be known just how much stock has been over issued, and not before. Treasurer Reed lost all his money in stock -pecula tions. Ho was of a retiring disposition, moderate in his expenditures, and with no bad habits as fur as they are known. Do mestic troubles are believed to have hastened him in hisdownward career. Itecd did not own a share of stock in the road. He is said to be largely interested in prices in Utah as well as iu mining, railroads and other speculation schemes in Mexico. He is also treasurer j of tho Mexico Telegram Company, the I funds of which lie asserts are in good con- j dition. Owingto the doubt as the genuine ness of the stock certificates of the South i Bostan Railway Company, the sales of its j sbare3 were enjoined in the brokers bourd | this afternoon. of its connection, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis unit Chicago being memners of the p o'. In seeking for grain freight, however, it will probably do iis iiriueip.il business through St. Louis, operating al that point over the Evansville and St. Louis. It is stated that it will make the same through rate via Newport News ns is now being made via New Orleans, and if this means a barge line rale it will cut considerably under pool rates. In this connection it. is stated that a rate is being made from Kansas City to Liverpool, all rail to New Orleans via Fort Scott, Springfield and Memphis and connections, of 55 cents il hundred. This, it is slated, is sufficient to turn Hoar and corn and wheat in that di rection, 8t. Louis also participating in the trade to a large extent. CALLED BY HER DEAD LOVER. THEY DIDN’T WANT IT.

Washington, November 23.—The presi dent is experiencing some difficulty in fill ing the office of United States district at torney for the eastern distric t of Wiscon sin. A. K.

There is a hitch in its operation in this territory by reason Strange fiiTUiiisfnnri's 1'veeeiling tlie Dentil of a Voting (lirl. From Hie Malt Lake Herald, Nov. 3. A few days ago we chronloiletl the death of .Mias Athuliall Gilbert, of South Cotton wood. At the time of tho announcement there were reporta current that some events out of the ordinary were connected with hot decease, but at that time there were no means of ascertaining the particu lars. Yesterday, however, Mr. James Gil bert, flic young lady’s father, and several other Cottonwood people were In tiro city, and from them a reporter learned the tacts which ibLuv.'. Al! l:._ : tinned arc those of responsible and well known citizens, and unreal as the nev: - tlon sounds there can he.no doubt oi Us authenticity. The young lady was 10 years old at the time of her death, and appears to have been possessed of one ot those warm lova ble, bright and even-tempered dispositions which endear the owner to every one with whom she comes in contact. Though so young, she took a busy part in all church duties, and in improvement associations and tho Sunday senool her name always had a prominent place. Some throe or four years ago she formed an intimacy with a youth named John Cunliffe, the soil of a neighbor, and despite the tenner years of both, they became strongly attached to each other, and provoked no end of com ment ab their old-fashioned devotion and steadfast affection for one another. This state of affairs continued until tue girl was fifteen years bid, when the association was rudely broken by the doatu of young Cunliffe. lie lost his life from the kick of a wild horse about a year ago. When the intelligence ■ was brought u> Miss Gilbert, her father says, it gave her a shock from which she never recovered. She almost sank beneath the bio tv, and at his funeral her paroxysms of grief were so violent that it was feared her reason would depart. In time, how ever, she resumed her accustomed dulivs, but it was evident that the blow she hud sustained had sunk deep into her life. Blie seldom roused herself from a deep let.nargy of sadness, and day by day her color and strength and the freshness ol youth seem ed to he ebbing away. A few months ago she alarmed her sister by Lolling her that “John” had visited her chamber and bad told her that she musl prepare to come to him. She manifested no tear, but, accord ing to her sister, had told him she could not leave hor parents, but lie had only said again that she must come. Once again, Inter, she told her sister boat he h id coma to her with the same message, and idio hud now evidently given up desiring to roimpn, as she told her sister liow she wished to be dressed at her burial and whom she wished to dress her. Boon after that young Cunliffc’s father came to Mr. Gilbert, sorely disturbed, ami told him that, one nterning as lie was lying down, his son had come to him and stood lit the foot of ids bed. His father Had asked him what it was he desired, and he replied: “I came to sec you, lather. I am staying at Gilbert’s, and L am going back there now. I have been there ever since I left you. Where elsu should I be?” Mr. Gilbert attempted to reason the old gentleman out of ids notion, but he insisted that it was no dream or vis ion, but thut his son hud actually visited and spoken to him, and thill in broad day light. In tlie -meantime, Mias Gilbert con tinued to maintain that her last day was approaching, and no amount of persuasion seemed to shake her belief. One week jjgo last evening she and her parents were attending a birthday party at a neighbor’s. Miss Gilbert was sitting ai the lunch tablo chatting with some companions, when, without a word of warning, she fell to the floor motionless. Her father and mother raised her, and both said her heart had ceased to beat. Their erics and lamentations and their frenzied attempts r.o arouse her, they state, rallied her for a few moments, ami she was hurriedly conveyed home, where she expired shortly afterward, leaving her friends almost stupefied with grief. Her funeral was one of Uic largestconvoeations of mourners ever seen in that locality. An Importunt Kidlrinul .Viliam e. Chicago, November 23.—An important conference with far reaching results was held here to-day between Traffic-Manager Mair, ol' the Ches.ipeak and Ohio road; General-Manager Walker, of the Kanawha Dispatch Line and a committee from tho Central Traffic Association, it. W. Geiger, of the Pennsylvania Company; J. M. Culp, of the Louisville and Nashville; G. J. Gl um mer, of the Evansville and Terre Haute and Commissioner Blanchard, repre sented tile Central Traffic Association. After some discussion the fact v.as con ceded that the Chesapeake and Ohio was not necessarily to bo regarded as a form idable rival of the Central Traffic Associa tion. Both parties then agreed to do the best they could to promote each other’s interest. The Chesapeake and Ohio prom ised to maintain by its all-rail lines the Central Traffic Association’s all- rail rales. The differentials heretofore awarded the Chesapeake and Ohio road on the business taken by its water route will be continued. That road will also charge Baltimore rates on husiucss taken by it to Newport Nows.

Calendars are pop ular not because they tench the people anything, but because they cater to a childish and ridiculous iove of peer ing into the unknown relations of life.

There is no i hope for the full emancipation of the race while the feminine mind is the abject slave | of tlie callendar. I mean this. Every woman, every girl, nowadays hies a , calendar hung up in her room, a Lowell calendar, or a Whit- I tier calendar, or a Browning, a Holmes or a Mrs. Whitney calendar. They are to be found in the humble chamber of the housemaid as well as in tlie [ boudoir of the belle; and every Eve’s i daughter of the whole lot tears off her morning’s rations of sentiment with a 1 superstitious thrill as to the effect of what 1 she shall road upon her day’s actions.

The young woman I was arrayed in the garments of a lightning I change artist, anil could, without the re- | moval of an article, change her dress into ' four distinct styles. When the prisoner ! saw that her trick was discovered, she did not hesitate to illustrate its operation for the entertainment of her captors. When arrested she wore a black cashmere dress, a tight bodice of tlie same color and material, and a bat with a wide brim. A swift displacement of hooks, eyes and buttons: a deft adjustment of unseen fastenings here and there; a crushing squeeze oft lie hat, nml the lady stood with a brown woolen dress with corded front bodice, and a neat little turban upoq her head. Another sot of manipulations, and the dress was transformed into a gown, the turban gave place to a coif, a chaplet fell from the girdle, and the woman stood arrayed as a brown nun. Once more, presto, change, a tug of the skirt, u yank at the coif and waist, a flush of hands everywhere ut once, and the nun was transformed into a young lady of aspiring fashion in bright col ored alpaca and tho original wide brimmed hat. Miss Fitzpatrick is a pretty but very depraved young woman. During the past few weeks she has been going about in the various garbs she could so readily assume, begging money for Father Dorsey’s church, as She claimed she has reaped a rich harvest from the wealthy and liberal Catholics of the north side. The police have been on her trail for more I him a week, but her many guises baffled detection. Yesterday morning Lieutenant Schumacker met her on Clark street, when siie was in the black cashmere raiment, and recognized her from descriptions. Less Tliuo a Kourtli Were I’ure.
