rHECHARITY HOSPITAL FUNDS.

There is considerable inquiry on the part
of the citizens of Dallas, who contribute
literally to the cause concerning the
funds raised by series of entertainments
given for the building of new hospital; A
in bank. Those who had the matter in
charge are waiting for the city to take some
steps to wards erecting good hospital when
the money will be turned over to assist
ip its erection. The ground upon which
the hospital stands has been sold by the
city for free school purposes, and now the
city council will find it necessary to secure
a site upon which to erect the building,
which II badly needed.

City Marshal Larimer, of Greenville, O., and
G. W. Moore, of the firm of Fort Johnston & Co,
arrived at the station-house last evening at $50
with an important prison er. He was registered
as Frank Kennedy, alias John Zegler, and will
be remembered as the artist who six weeks ago
MADE remarkably neat and successful deal in
cattle by representing himself as a member of
the firm of Fort Johnston & Co., and, by forging
the name of that house, victimized Elijah Swack-
hamer, of Frankfort, this State, out of two car
loads of cattle worth nearly $4,000, and,
after selling the cattle at the stock
yards here. disappeared with his ill-gotten
wealth and a new overcoat, Swackhamer and
Fort, Johnston & Co. united in offering a re-,
ward of $3.50 for the swinder, but for nearly
five weeks nothing was heard of the much-de-
sired Zieger. The first intipation of his where
abouts came to Major Robbins, day or two be-
fore that gentleman retired as chief of police. 1t
was a letter from the marshal of Greenvile,
asking description of Zieger. description
was sent, and upon second communication
from the marshal Mr.. Moore went over to
Greenville to identify the man the mar
shall had under suspicion. Zieger was not
at Greenville, but the man. who called him
self Kennedy, and who answered the descrip
ton, was said to bs at St. Paris, buying hogs.
absent, having gone into the country TO look at
some nogs Mr.. Moore, the marshal. and two
others who had Joined the party, waited for him
at the hotel. and in the evening ION Monday he
came in and Eir. Moore recognized him the
man he wanted. He was told to hold up his
hands, the bracelets were nut on him, and here
he is He lives at Miami City, Ohio, from which
place u seems he came direct to this city and ar
ranged the forgery that swlndled the Frankfort
parties Previous to coming to indianapolis he
had committed a sxty-dollar forgery a farm
er, drawn on a bank at New London, Ohio,
and it was with that money that he came here.
After getting paid for the Schwackhamer cattle,
and two heads bought of another farmer near
Frankfort, he went TO Kansas, where he found
an invalid brother, whom he brought home to
Miami City. In explaining his flush condition at
home, he said that he had had great luck at Chi
cago and st. Louis playing faro bank To quiet
things near home he hunted up the farmer and
squared the sixuy-dollar transaction, and with
the proceeds of his Indiana transaction ne was
doing a legitimate business. He will be taken
to Clinton county for trial.

BROWN, BoNNELL & co.
Defeat of a Shrewd Attempt to Secure the
Discharge of the Receiver.

TOLEDO, Dec. 18.-.Argument in the case of
heard and passed upon in the United States
Court In this city to-day, by Judges Baxter and
Welker, in the presence of large number of at
tOrneys and others interested. Judgment for
$500 having been taken last February, in the
United States Court in Cleveland, against
stance of a certain Michigan iron company, re-
oeiver was appointed in the person of Fay
Browne, of Cleveland. Atterward other claims
to the amount of 81, $4,000 were proved upon
an order for sale and general distribution.
Meantime certain creditors procured confession
of Judgment for $4,000, and their attorney,
going to Cleveland and paying off the original
be discontinued and the receiver discharged.
i his motion was argued at length to-day
by Henry Crawford, of Chicago, in support of
the motion to dismiss the receiver his line of ar
gument being that the court had no jurisdiction,
and that the original papers did not set forth
grounds sufficient for the appointment OF a re-
cever.
Judge Ranney, of Cleveland, spoke in opposi-
ton to the motion.
Judge Baxter announced his decision, saying
that the property should be held in trust for all
the creditors alike, none of whom could be dis
eliminated against by the Judgment creditors in
state court; that if they undertook to disturb
the property of the company under the judg-
ments obtained at Youngstown, he wonld enjoin
them. The motion was therefore overruled, the
Jurisdiction of the United States Court atfi rmed,
the proceedings would be continued, and the
property of Brown, Oonnell & Co. held in trust
Tor all the creditors, and the proceeds of 1t,
Wnen sold, De distributed to all pro rata.

A wife and Brothers Murd.rous Plan.

DENVER, Dec. 1S.-Last Saturday Mary
Kafford, called on Doctor Rose, a prominent
dentist, of Leadvile, and made a startling re-
quest that he furnish her with poison which
cOuld not be detected by an autopsy. She Of
fered him $500 as compensation, reluctantly adj
uniting that she wished to get rid of her nus
hand, Hans KOfford, IN order that her husbands
brother, of whom she enamOred and her
self might together enjoy insurance of
$500 which her husband carried. After max
ing an appointment to meet both persons at his
Office last evening, the doctor arranged with the
police and several interested insurance men to
be present but concealed at the interview. The
whole dabolical plan was made known. The
pair were Immediately arrested and placed in
jail. The parties are Danish. The youngest
brother is sixty years of age and the woman
thirty five.

The Wisconsin experiment station has
been making a series of interesting expert
ments to ascertain the value of sweet milk
for feeding pigs Two lots of pigs were fed
separately; one lot upon corn meal, the other
lot upon milk, the latter being given all they
would take. After twenty five days the
milk-fed pigs had gained fifty and one-hali
pounds, against forty and three-quarters by
the meal-fed lot. The lots were then. re-
versed. the milk-fed pigs being put on meal,
and the meal-fed lot being given milk foa
twenty-five more days, at the end of. which
time the milk fed had made gain of seven
ty-nine pounds, and the meal-fed only sixty
enc and half pounds.
The weight of both lots of food were re-
corded, and showed that 500 pounds of corn
meal made a pound of pork, end that 1000
pounds of milk made the same quantity Of
pork live weight, so that when live hogs are
worth five cents per pound, milk is worth
about half cent per pound.
Other experiments in feeding meal and
milk together showed very much more value
in the milk, ranging from forty cents to
ninety cents per 100 pounds. AT the latter
rate the value per quart would be one and
three-fourths cents. This is surely pretty
strong showing in favor of butter or cheese
making, instead of sending milk off to the
cities at only two cents per quart the price
al which much has been sold within the past
few wears

A SERIOUS EXPLOSION.
A Half-Dozen Employees Seriously Injured,
Three of Whom VIII Probably Die.

PITTsBURG, Dec. 19-An explosion of the
boilers in d. P. Reighard Co.'s oil refining
works, to-day, resulted in the severe injury of
six persons, three of whom may die. Three men
were sitting in a shed with their backs against
the boilers, two were at the door, and one was
some distance away. without warning a ter
rife explosion occurred The conclusion was
great, and followed by the noise of escaping
steam. The Doiler-house, a brick and frame
structure, was completely demolished, and hot
ashes, flying bricks and fragments of iron were
scattered in all directions. The remains of the
shed were ignited and the fire companies were
summoned to the scene. The fire was soon ex-
uInguished, and attention then paid the
work of extricating the injured, whose names
John Lee, en- gineer and fireman, scalded seri-
ousy and cut about the head, believed to have
inhaled steam, injuries supposed to be fatal;
Wesley Roup machinist. badly scalded and in
jured internally, probably fatally; VIM. Fisher,
electrician, head cut in several places, severely
burned and inhaled steam, recovery doubIfu
Samuel Henderson, boiler-maker, head cut and
badly bruised; Johnny Roup, boy. burned on the
face and neck and cut in several places by flying
bricks; Emil Schmidt, foreman, nose crushed and
head cut, but not seriously.
There is difference of opinion as to the cause
dition, and were allowed TO carry sixty-five
pounds of steam. The gauge registered sixty
five pounds shortly before the explosion Pieces
of iron recovered burnt, and this leads a
majority of experts to believe the explosion was
caused by low water. Loss, $4,000.
