The Mutual Bui;ding and Loan ksssci.

The Mutual Building and Loan ASCOT
alton appears 10 have taken step In the
right direction in its plan. 30 much mys-
teiy has heretofore characterized the sys-
tenn, upon which these organizations have
been worked, that we take pleasure in call
ing attention to the following circular
issued by the Mutual:
The object OF this Association will be to
enable its members to provide homes for
themselves by obtaining money at lawful
rate of interest, and upon terms suited TO
their ability to pay both principal and in
terest.
A share will represent $780, and the
weekly dues required to be paid thereon is
twenty five cents. Any member borrowing
will receive the fisH amount FOR which
note is given, and will pay interest only on
the actual amount OF money received.
The interest on q share representing SGD,
at per cent. per annum is $500, or thirty
cents per week; hence, the weekly pay
ment on one borrowed share would De
twenty-five cents for dues and thirty cents
interest, making total Of fifty-fye cents q
week, and such weekly premiums as may be
bid for precedence in taking loan.
Any shareholder who may want to with
draw before the end OF the Association,
can have the amount he may have paid re-
funded at any time, and after the irst
year will receive interest on his invest
ment at the rate of 6 per cent; and after
two years a part of the earnings. IL shares
have been borrowed out, the member can
refund to the Association the actual
amount borrowed, and stop the interest
and premium on it; ana can then carry
the stock in the Association, or withdraw
it upon the same terms as though it had
not been borrowed out.
The unsatisfactory feeling which has
heretofore existed with the fundamen tai
principles governing Building Associa-
tians, are, ! n the main, due to one or all OF
the following causes: :,
First-The plans have been so compli.
Gated that none but experts have been able
to understand them.
Second-The rate OF interest under the
old system has been too heavy tax on
the borrower, resulting in many cases in
disaster.
Third-The exorbitant rate OF interest
charged has deferred members from Dor
rowing money! and the result has been the
accum ulation OF money in the treasury OF
the association which had to be awarded
to members who did not want it.
To remedy all this the The Mutual pro-
poses plan equitable in all its features,
and 30 simple that person OF ordinary
intelligence can understand 1t. Its rate OF
interest will be in exact accordance with
law, being 6 per cent per annum on the
actual amount of money loaned; hence, no
difficulty is likely to be, experienced IN
indipg borrowers; but should it ever be-
come necessary to award money, 1t will be
at so late period that person not want
ing TO borrow can withdraw, and get in
addition to the capital an equitable pro-
portion of the earnings of the association
up to the time OF withdrawal. Respectfully,
WIN. C. HAHDLAS,
J. +. MILLER,

GUENTH TALKS
And Say His Heart IL Relieved and He
IN Ready TO Die.

Ever since the bullet from Guenther
Schnelle's pistol crashed through the brain
of DR.. Schuchardt and ended his earthly
career, a curious public has been vainly
searching for probable cause for the muir
der. Schnelle partially explained his act
when he said Schuchardt was his father
and would not acknowledge him
as his son: bat still there
seemed to be a motive lurking behind
even this. That Schuchardt was his father
is substantially corroborated by various
circumstances that have come to the
knowledge or hearing OF the writer, but
this would only seem to make horrible
patricide Of the murder and to leave some
thing still unexplained. This something
was partially uDfolded by Schnelle, him
self, at the Jail, last night.
For the first time, yesterday, he was put
upon prison tare and seemed nearly well.
He paced about his room as lively as
cricket and received those persons who
called upon him. Among them was
REGISTER reporter, who found him in
rather conversational mood and proceed
ed to draw him out. The natural thing to
say was to offer to do anything possible, to
ameliorate his condition and this the re-
porter did, asking him if he could do any
thing for him
Yes" said SChnelle," you can give me
a revolver and let me finish up the job
This of course was declined, and after
some little time, the reporter led the con-
versatiOn around to the killing of the
physician. Schnelle only gave half an
SwerS. but from what he said the following
is drawn:
During the life time of his mother,
Guenther and she had talked OF DR..
SchuChardt, but what passed between them
he would not reveal. She cherished dis.
like to the Doctor and imbued her son with
the same feeling, but if she communicated
the cause, his lips are sealed on the sub
ieCt. He had vowed to her he would kill
the Doctor, and from that time up to last
Monday week he never abandoned
his purpose. He evidently believes DR..
Schuchardt nged her in some way and
the knowledge of that wrong changed the
whole bent of his existence. He had de-
voted himself to revenge and his purpose
had been accomplished and now he only
wanted to complete it by his own selfdes-
truction.
The reporter asked if he had contempla-
ted the consequences of his act, to which
he replied he was ready to die and the
sooner the better. Further than this he
would not reveal.
Several gentlemen called on him in the
evening, and in parting said they "would
see him again." to which he said: II don't
know if you will or not"
gentleman conversng with him in
German said:
"Gueuther did you ev'r have any con-
versation with your mother touching
Schuchsrdt?"
"Of course did; and my heart" laying
his hand on his breast with a pathetic ges
ture lis relieved and am ready to die"
1t is certain there was some powerful
motive for this act and it must come out,

"ESNERALDA."
A Fine Play Rendered by Good Com
pany.

n lhc RAY AtAoCEC1 W - oooe WIZ
pany.
A large audience brayed the storm last
night to witness the first performance in
this city Of the Madison Square Theatre
Company, in "Esmerslda," one of those
remarkable dramatic successes which were
wholly unknown until few years ago. 1t
has all the elements of perfect drama, in
which there is nothing dull or tiresome-
in short, q sweet, pure love story OF fideli-
ty and simplicity.
The company presenting this play last
evening is one the finest that Wheeling
has had for a long time. Every actor
seemed to have expressly crea,et
the part allotted him. This is especially
true Of John Z. Owens, who played the
part of Old Rodgers, with as much facility
as his celebrated Scion Single, The part OF
Estabrook was most acceptable rendered
by Mr.. Chas Walcott, and Mrs. Chas Wal
cot, was simply charming as Nora. Miss
Annie Russell was picture of simplicity
and grace, as Esmeralda. Mr.. Chas. b.
Wells, as Dave" played the honest manly
farmer hero to the life, and was particu ar
ly excellent in his portrayal OF the broken
hearted and faithful lover in the second
act.
Mrs. Kate Denen Wilson's Mrs. Rogers"
was piece of character acting that is sell
dom equaled and never surpassed. She
was the shrewish ambitious mother, and
proved hGcself most finished actress. The
rest of the caste was satisfactory. The
stage settings were handsome and the play
q marked success.
Much credit is due the Opera House Or
chPstra for the fine music furnished, which
added not little to the entertainment.

HOT HEIRS
0uarreling 0ves the Schuchardt
5t Estate, IS asS -
Dicksscheid Arrested, Charged With Steal
ing $1,000, Which He Tried to
Ship Away-jailed In
Default.

There is row among the heirs in set
Ting up the property left by DR..
schuchardt. Four appraisers, Conrad
sshambra, L. swabacker, G. Moenkemiller
and James Reed, were appointed and
made an examination of the premises. A
will, made in 1856, was found, under the
provisions of which, everything wasleft to
Mrs. schuchsrdt. This was admitted to
probate, yesterday, but it is thought there
is a later document. Two boxes, flied
with documents and about $500 in silver
and paper money, were found in the house,
but no bank book or evidence of other
personal property was forthcoming. 1t
had long been believed there was chest
of gold about the house, but it could not
be found, though rumors were al ,at on
Sunday, in effect that il had turned up aud
the Schnelles and Dickescheid, the brother
in-law, had quarreled over it.
The denouement came last night. In the
afternoon Dickescheid took twenty six bags
of gold coin to the Adams Ex press Company
for shipment. For some reason it was re-
fused, or did not 60, and was taken to the
Exchange Bank for safe keeping The
Schnelles learned OF this, and employing
Counsellor Russell, the war began by at.
taching this money in the hands OF John
J. Jones, Cashier.
About midnight, last night, the Schnelles,
with Capt Bennett, hurried up to Justice
Caldwelis Office, where consultation was
held with closed doors. During the
conference, W. F. G. Schnelle swore
out a warrant for Wendelein Dickerscheid,
charging him with stealing $1,000. Capt.
Bennett took this and finding Dickescheid
in bed, arrested him. He was committed
to Jail in default of $4,000 bond, for a
hearing at o'clock to-day.
A REGISTER reporter interviewed hi,n in the
Jail. He said he had talk with DIR.
schucbardt on the Sunday before the shoot
ing, in which the doctor said he was afraid
of being poisoned or shot. He said he
he'd twenty-six sacks Of coin in the house,
containing over 5000, which he gave
to Dickescheid to be given to his daughter,
Amalie Dickescheid. This money Dicke-
scheid sent to the express Office, Yesterday,
to be shipped to Cincinnati. The office
was closed against freight and refused to
keep the money over night 1t was then
taken to the Exchange bank for safe keep.
ing.
Mrs. Dickescheid left for Cincinnati on
Sunday, though her husband says she is
iHSteubenville. She is DR.. Schuchardts
sister and one of the heirs. This is the be-.
ginning of case which may develop into
something OF more importance.
