A HORRIBLE CHARGE.
A Young Man Arrested on Charge of
Gross immortality.

GROSS immortality.
Officer Taylor arrested a man, named
Smith, yesterday, on a horrible charge.
He is stranger, and is engaged in some
advertising scheme. Yesterday about
noon, he was sitting in the Centre mar
ket, talking to two little girls, both under
eight years of age. The charge is that he
endeayored by money and persuasions to
induce them to go down over the river
bank with him, for a horribly immoral
purpose. A REGISTER reporter found a
crowd of citizens excitedly talking over
the matter, near the market house, while
Taylor escorted the man away. They be-
lieved the tale and were greatly wrought
up over il, threatening all sorts of dire
things. Taylor said he asked the children
and they told him what the man wanted,
whereupon, after ascertaining his authori.
ty in the n after, he arrested the man and
committed him to the lookup.
He was there visited by REGISTER re-
porter, and found to be q man of good APP
pearance and looking altogether unlike q
person who could contemplate such q
crime. He was very indignant at his ar
rest, and tells very plausible story. The
girls, he says, came TO him and asked for
five cents to buy some candy. This he gave
them, and smilingly said he would give
them IS If he could win on the coming
boat race. That he walked toward the
river and they accompanied him, but tina the
ever made any improper proposal and of.
fered any iDducement, he denounces as ut
terly untrue. He has only recently been
married, and that he would attempt the
crime with which he is charged seems
highly improbable. For his own sake, as
we'll as for the cause of decency and NOR
slity, it is to be hoped he will exonerate
himself

The Probable End 0fthe Matsmofas
Mystery.
Several papers are now engaged in still
publishing the exploded Masamoras sensa-
ton, and some are publishing facts conclu'
siyely showing its falsity. A correspondent
of Petersburg paper writes:
Your correspondent being well scquain-
ted with all these alleged murdereIs, was
slow to believe that snch horrible crime
had been committed by them, and dstsrm-
ined to give the whole matter q thorough
sitting before giving currency to reports SO
sikening in detail, and therefore
sent to the scene q man compe-
tent to hear and correctly determ-
inc the truth from all the conflicting re-
ports. Meantime there came rumor that
Mrs. Ward, widow of one of the actors, had
refused TO permit the we'll to be opened,
thus confirming the worst suspicious, but
Immediately there appeared in the dis
patches a report that the well had been
opened and a skull found, and numerous
other reports Of similar character, and fol-
lowing this closely came parties who con:
suited the prosecuting attorney in regard
to forced opening Of the well.
Well! we'll! This began to look like busi'
ness, and so on last Friday two eonstabies
and posse of excited citizens proceedei TO
take the filling out of that we'll without IN
any way mourning the hostility OF Mrs.
Ward or any one else-in fact, il turns out
that she and all others interested were anx.
ious to see the bottom OF that well, aud
thus reach the bottom facts connected with
the whole affair, but meanwhile ghosts and
hobgoblins had appeared and held nightly
carnival around the bloody spot and
the old Ward cabin had become the
center of attraction by its mysterious
rappings and unearthly sounds. But: not.
withstsnding all this, men were found
willing TO do or die in The service OF the
valiant constables. and so gradually, hour
after hour, the difficult work OF removing
the debris from the well went on until at
last the bottom was reached, and, horrible
to relate, the bones had decayed, and there
only remained a horseshoe and q brass
candle. stick-tbe former the last shoe of
the pale horse, no doubt, and the latter all
that remained of the jack o.lantern to
throw light on this horrid suspicion.

Current fear--Gen-
eraI Doings.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Education was held at their
rooms last night, with the following men,
bers present: DobbiDs, Eberling, Jepson,
Maxwell, Miller J. G, Naylor, Shockey,
seidler, Whally, Wilson W. A, Work and
Mr.. President.
Fred. Unruh, as school collector, and
sureties, appeared, and the bond was ap-
proved.
By permission, DR.. Reeves made short
speech to the Board In relation 10 that
bodys subscribing a suitable sum OF
money toward making up the purse OF 500
which the doctor agreed to raise If the
Board of Public Works would lay the brick
pavement on Chapline, between Twenty
and Twenty-fourth streets. Mr.. Maxwell
moved to appropriate $50.
Mr.. Wilson did not think the Board had
any right or power to appropriate money
for the purpose OF improving the streets oil
the city.
Mr.. Maxwell thought it was nothing
more than right for this body to stand a
portion OF the expense along with the other
property holders, for the improving OF the
street would enhance the value OF the
school property.
This money is levied for specific pur-
pose," said Mr.. Wilson, land can not be ap'
propriated for any other purpose"
Mr.. Whally-'I think we have the same
right to appropriate money for this pur:.
pose, as we have to hire carriages and
hacks to haul graduates around in"
Mr.. Wilson moved to amend the resolu-
ton of Mr.. Maxwell by referring the matter
to the Finance Committee for rsport, which
amendment was lost by large vote. The
original resolution, 20 appropriate $50, was
placed before the body and sdopted by
vote of 10 to 4. The clerk was authorized
to draw an order for the above sum, in IA
vor of the Board of Public Works, which
was not however, to be paid until the work
was fully completed.

THE OBNOXIOUS ORDINANCE.
How Merchants Regard the HaulinI
Down of Their Signs.

How Merchants Regard the Hauling
Down Of Their Signs.
General orders were issued from head.
quarters of the Standing Army yesterday
instructing the privates to notify mer-
chants to remove all signs projecting more
than two feet over the sidewalk from the
building to which they were attached. The
Army deployed as skirmishers and the not
itications were soon spread broadcast. AS
a result the business portion of the city
was torn upin terrible way. Now, Capt
Bennett is not to blame for enforcing the
ordinances cf The city, but merchants rec
ognize only the agents in the affair, and as
consequence curses not loud, but deep, fell
on his devoted head and those of the high
privates in the Standing Army. 1t was
somewhat narrowing to the merchants to
have to take down a sign that cost him
anywhere from $50 to 800, and without
any apparent reason, and when he did it, it
was not by any means in Christian frame
Of mind.
But the signs did come. Barber poles
on Twelfth street were rooted up and laid
Hat like wheat after the reaper has passed
Signs disappeared on the same street and
on Main south of it and nearly every mer.
chant could show sign neatly folded up
and slowed away inside his door. One
merchant had sign for which he had Just
paid S1l5, and it was not to be expected he
would take it down willingly and smil.
ingly.
Why was such an ordinance passed?
Only because the one in force, which
ordered down signs on parts of Mann and
Market streets, was deemed unfair
and discriminating. That was all
But why was the first one passed? No one
seems to know, and merchants would like
nightly for some one to rise and explain.
A petition will be presented to Council, at
its next meeting, asking a repeal OF the
obnoxious law, but in the meantime, it is
probable test case will be made. Several
merchants are Of opinion the ordinance
won't hold and they desire to test a case

A sTEUBENVILLE STORY
OF a search for a Fallen Girl With q
Fortune.

A story was given circulation in Pitts
burgh yesterday morning to the effect that
on the previous evening young man hail
ing from Steubenville, Ohio, called at the
mayors office and procured the services Of
one OF the best detectives to search the
spCItirg hCIsts for his sister, stating that
her right name was Ella Foley. bat who
vas supposed TO be sailing under the cOgno-
n Ell of Miss Hauch, and that she had ia len
heir 10 portion of her fathers estate, sit
Uated in the suburbs of Steubenyille and
valued at $4,000. The same story located
the girl st a house on Second avenue, but
this was found to be untrue. Yesterday
morning. however, it was learned that
the party wanted was an inmate
of the house on First avenue
near Ferry, owned and until recently pre-
sided over by Ida Ralston, VINO is now
summering at the SeashOre \ visit 10 lhe
quarters indicated yesterday morning re-
vealed the fact that the much. wanted MISS
Foley alias HauTcb. has not been there for
some time and her present location is un-
known. The story however, Is generally
considered q canar1, since the officials at
the Mayors when spoken u Yesterday
UOrning knew nothing OF any of their
number being approached By young man
to make such q search as stated above, and
