Neatly Captured-A Broker Who Alb
CHICAGO, April 18.-Simeon Peppers, q
New York stock broker, was arrested here
to-day in the postoaace by three detectives
who have been shadowing that ediice for
several weeks in search of him. About two
weeks ago DR.. Morrill,, a wealthy New York
speculator, placed in the hands of Peppers
$50 600 worth of Oregon Transcontinental
railroad bonds with instructions to dispose
of them at the best figures possible.
Peppers sold $4,000 worth at suoh
a ruinous price that Morrill, demanded by
letter that he return the balance. Failing to
hear from his broker the doctor called at his
Office which he found vacant and learn
ed that Peppers had absconded ia
the West with the remaining gao, 900. De-
tectives were Immediately put upon his
track and he was located in Chi
eago. Knowing Peppers wife, who re-
manned in New York, was in correspondence
with her husband, the detectives armed
with handouts and a description af the
defaulter patiently awaited his appearance
at the Rostofsioe. On hearing the
ominous words s'You are my pris-
oner" Peppers made a dash for lib
erty, but was restrained. He returned
to New York tonight. No trace of
the $50, 900 worth Of bonds has been dis
covered, although it is believed they have
not been disposed of.

Indifferent to His Doom-Braced by Re-
Ifgion, Murderer Hoffman meets His
End.
WHITE PLAINS, April 1S.-Theodore Hoff-
man was hanged in the Jail here this morn
ing for the murder of Zife Marks Jewish
peddler, whom he waylaid and brutally muir
dered over a year ago near the village of
Port Chester, N. Y. The execution was
strictly private. The condemned man arose
early and breakfasted lightly. His for
mer indifference entirely left him, but when
his spiritual adviser, the Rev. DIR. Van
Kleeck, arrived he appeared to derive some
consolation. From this on until the execu-
ton the prisoner spent his time in alternate
ly singing and praying. Shortly after
o'clock the sheriff walked to the door of the
cell, and, informing him that his time had
come, proceeded to read the death warrant
Hoffman listened to the reading in an appar-
emily unconcerned manner and at It's conclu-
sion bowed his head as a token of submission.
His arms were then pinioned and &C.
companied by his spiritual adviser,
the sheriff and few of his
firm step to the gallows. On reaching the
scaffold the clergyman and the condemned
man prayed for a short time and then the
Rev. Mr.. Van Kleeck babe the prisoner good
bye and quickly stepped aside. The sheriff
came forward and, drawing the black cap,
adjusted the moose and gave the signal The
rope was cut at precisely 7:12 a M, and
Hoffman's body shot up into the air. There
was brief struggle and then the body swung
motionless to and fro. After hanging about
80 minutes the body was cut down and af-
ter being placed in the coffin turned over to
Hoffman's father.

Novelty i'm BaIioOning-The Basket
Replaced by jackson WagOp.
JACKSON. April 18,-Prof. E. D. Hogan,
the aeronaut, made his first ascension of the
season to-day with his new oiled silk balloon.
It is sixty feet in height and holds seventy
five thousand feet of gas. The novelty of
the occasion was increased by the fact that
instead of the usual basket Prof. Hogan
chose regular Jackson wagon which was
suspended to the balloon with strong ropes.
The Professor thought he would have an
easier and pleasanter trip in the new con-
veyance than he ever had in his basket or on
the trapeze. Prof. Hogan has made 1876
ascensions. The ropes were released at 10
o'clock. The balloon ross rapidly and when
half mile from earth drifted off gracefully
in southwesterly direction. Later on i,
was seen over Fayette. o, apparently all
right.

stated that Jerome j. Collins had the i'm
preston at one time that there was a COM

when others left he would show his silent
contempt. For some time subsequently
Collins refused to speak to his companions.
Judge Curtis asked witness whether he said
while in Siberia that he would have Captain
