BosToN, April Sit was announced to:
day in the Roman Catholic churches OF
Lawrence that the Augustiuian Society
would be petition of insolvency with the
intention OF abandoning all efforts to re-
duce the indebtedness to depositors in the
Augustinian savings institutions by collec.
tions. Rev. Z. c. McEvoy, Governor
of the Augustine orders, stated that
this course was taken because
the attachments on the church property

by the society all creditors share alike.
There are now twenty-five attachments,
aggregating $50, 900, Indebtedness to seven
hundred and three depositors, S455,000,
which. with the mortgages, make the liabil'
tiles 1865 600. The society claims assets to

CHICAGO. April S-The canvass OF the
returns in the South Town ticket of the
late election has been completed aud
lrings TO light the fact that in the Fourth
precinct of the second ward, the ballot box
was held for day or two by the judges,
part of the time being in a disreputable
saloon, and when opened for canvassing it
was discovered that the tally sheet had
been tampered with by using chemicals,
and 2OO votes transferred from the Repub-
hcan candidates to the Democrats. The
job was bangliugly doae and the evidence
of fraud is said to be conclusive, No ac-
ton has yet been taken towards Furnishing

The probabilities of this assertion are not

Gen. Forsythe's command has returned

modification TO find that the Indians lay

watching the soldiers as they toiled across
the sandy waste, and as soon as night came
they put out for Mexico leaving the sol
diers in the lurch. When Anderson and
his partner were attacked the Indians cap
tured eleven bottles OF whisky, and on
reaching the Animas Mountains, the band
scattered, only TO Join again at the MeXi-

Gen. Mckenzie reached the command, with
orders to return at once TO Separ. These
orders were given on McKenzie's receiving

LOU HAUK ARRAIGNED.
He Pleads "Not Guilty" TO the Charge
Of Murder.

DELAWARE, April S.-Lou Hauk was ar
raigned in Court Friday before Judge Nc
Elroy to answer to the charge of murder.
The proceeding was entirely unexpected
by himself and his attorney here. I. E.
Powell requested a stay of proceedings on
the ground that Hauk's attorney, Black
burn, of Cincinnati, was not here
and was unaware of tie course that was
being taken. Hauk was given the privi-
lege of speaking. and he also asked the
privilege Of Withholding his plea until to.
day. All this, to the many who happened
in the Court room, seemed superhuous. as
Hauk had no intention of pleading other
than not guilty. However, the Judge
granted his request, and after the indict:
ment was read to him ne was remanded
back to Jail.
Yesterday morning he was again ar
raigned, and upon being asked the ques.
ton. Guilty or not guilty. he replied
without any show of fear or concern, Not
guilty" Wednesday, April 18th, was then
set as the day for trial, and the prisoner
was returned to his cell.
II is thought now that Hauk is not so
anxious for the trial in this term OF court,
and there appears to be belief that the
trial will be postponed.
