and now scertsin Doctor Querner in
Philsdelphia has detected diptheria in
lemons, oranges, pears, and especially in
apples. The doctor declares that he has
been for years engaged in investigating
the causes of this disease, and having
traced 1t in certain cases to the eating of
apples, he examined the fruit with the
microscope, and found the skin covered
withs species of fungus, indentical
with the fungi from a diptheria ulcer
The fact that everybody who eats an sp-
pie does not die of diptheria he accounts
for by the different susceptibility to d.
sease, OF individuals. OF course, per-
sons once infected with these fungi COM
municate them as rapidly as the fruit in
which they originate. DR.. Querner
publishes the remedy for the disease,
based upon the theory of its cause

hero thus immortalizsd is not generally
known. Owen CassabiaDcs, a native OF
Corsica, was born in 1888. His father
was a. distinguished French politician
and nsvsl commander, and his mother 8
beautiful Corsican lady. But she died
young, and little Owen went with his
father in q war vessel, and at the EARL
age of ten he participated with his father
in the battle of the Nile.
The ship caught fire during the action,
and Capt. Cassabisnca fell wounded and
insensible upon the deck, while the brave
boy, unconscious Of his fathers fate, held
lis place at the battery. The flames
ragged around him; the crew fed one by
one, and urged the lad to do the same,
but he refused and fought on until the
whole vessel was in Games, losing his lie
in the tremendous explosion which fol-
lowed.
All of us are familiar with the pretty
little Scottish ballad, Comm thro' tt e
Rye" The common idea of this song is
that rye field is meant, but who ever
saw Scottish lassie walking through q
field of rye, or any other graini The
river Rye, at Daily, in Ayrshire, is
meant. Before the days of bridges it
was no easy matter to cross rivers with
out paying such penalty as has immor-
talised Jennie in the old ballad. Burns
wrote the ballad and Brown modernized
it. As Burns wrote it, it includes the
river plainly enough:

Will Police Commissioner Weber Be
Bounced?

1t is now charged that the conduct OF
Police Commissioner Weber at the meeting
of the Board last Monday surpassed in
rudeness that of Hogan's, for which the
latter was so speedily bounced by Governor
Bishop At the session last Monday an
effort was made to elect fifth member OF
the Board, but it proved unsuccessful.
Mr.. Setchell presented a list of names, to
the Presidenr, of men for whom he said he
was willing to vote. The President de-
cared the reading of the names out of or
der, whereupon, it is said, Weber jumped
up and said that he would read them. The
President objected. II don't care whether
you object or not" replied Weber; and
with that, it is charged, he stamped and
yelled 50 loud that gentlemen passing
along Ninth street were attracted by the
noise. 1t is understood that charges against
Weber, of misconduct in the Board, will be
laid before the Governor.

MISS TILLIE SOLOMON.
Supposed to be Captured in Chicago.

Last Friday evening, it will be remem.
bered, Miss Tillie Solomon, the seventeen
year-old daughter of Mr.. ]. Solomon, the
pawnbroker on Central avenue. near Sew
enth, left home very mysteriously. She
left no word of where she intended going,
and Mr.. Solomon has received no tdings OF
her present whereabouts until yesterday.
when it was heard that Tillie had gone to
st. Louis, and from there to Jefferson City.
This morning Colonel Wappenstein re-
ceived the following dispatch:
CHICAGO, Sept 25-l0:5S A. M.-We
have the girl, Tillie Solomon. What shall
we do? Will parents send for her?
'S Q'DoNNELL, Acting Chief Police"
This telegram pleased Mr.. Solomon very
much when it was shown him, but the fol-
lowing received about half an hour later,
changed the aspect of things considerably:
CHICAGO, Sept. 25-l1:42 A. M.-ltis un-
certain IS to identity of the girl, although
she answers description. She insists she
came from Aurora, Illinois, and that her
parents live there. Will advise you further.
rs. O'DoNNELL."
The Chief is under the impression that
the Chicago officers have the wrong girl, as
he doesn't think that she could get from
Jefferson City to Chicago i'll so short time.

SEWALL'S SHARPNESS.
Hew an Apparently Worthless Estate
? Pans Out.

Special to the Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 25 The Sentinel to-
day publishes the following. 1t will be re-
membered that some two years ago Sewall
was murdered near Madison, this State.
Long before his death he represented him
self to be financially worthless. In view OF
the usual fate of real estate dealers in this
city, his story was readily believed BY most
of his creditors. Sewall finally filed his pc
tition in bankruptcy, scheduling only a
small amount of personal property and
some heavily incumbered real estate.
After his death the wife of the deceased
procured herself to be appointed admins
tratrix of the estate. The inventory she
filed in the court sets forth only small
amount of property, not to exceed $500.
The persistent creditors refused to abide by
such inventory, and demanded further dis
closures of property. M. H, Daniels, one
of these creditors, filed petition for the re-
mova of Mrs. Harriet NJ. Sewall as admin
istratrix which petition was granted, and
David d. Long, professional administrator
OF this city, appointed in her stead. Long
was permitted by Judge Adams to employ
detective to look up the case, and devel-
opments have been taking place.
The detective, Mr.. Patton, went to Gin
cinnati where Mrs. Sewall now resides,
and found valuable property on Walnut
Hills, which had been owned by Sewall ano
transferred to John Sloan, a mythical per
son, and by Sloan to the wife of Sewall
Valuable tracts of property bave been dis
covered in Clermont and Warren Counties
Ohio, all of which property was transferred
through mythical persons to sewalps wife
The detective claims to have discovered
property in Kentucky, Iowa and near Chi
cago. Altogether the property discovered
amounts to several hundred thousands O
dollars in value.
