The Davics.sOunty Trustee Frauds.
IBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.1

WASHINGTON, IND, September &.
There are some new developments in
the Dayies-county trustee frauds.
Grimsley, Brown, and Clarke, the ab-
scondiDg trustees, have been seen and
interviewed in Hamilton, Ont. Mr.. j.
C. Biltheimer, one of the prominent
attorneys Of Washington, went to Can
ada shortly after they disappeared, and
came across them in Hamilton. Mr..
Biltheimer says: "When l arrived in
Hamilton, Ont, found three Of the
gloomiest trustees ever saw in my
life. They looked sad and forsaken,
but offered no apologies or explana-
tions concerning their schemes. They
blamed Chicago party for good
part Of the mischief. ! don't believe
the three trustees have much left, but
] think the Chicago man beat them out
Of about all they raised on the fraudu-
lent warrants, because the paper was
made out 10 his order, and he made
no promise to hand over the money to
them as he disposed Of the paper. No
one Of the three could say how much
paper he had issued. The total amount,
however, is not less than s250.000."
Posey county has discovered an lille.
gal issue Of $4,000 Of certificates By
its former trustees. There is conster-
nation among the people Of this Sec
ton.

hive. The only outlet is hole at the
side, close down to the ground, which
serves as door, chimney, and window
combined The interior is generally an
undivided chamber; the floor, simply
dried COW dung with followed space
like basin in the centre to form the
fireplace. Round this the occupierS OF
the hut, regardless of overcrowding OF
sanitary laws, sit, talk, smoke, eat and
sleep; their dogs and chickens using
such accommodation as the hut offers,
with the same freedom from restraint as
the owners themselves. There is but
small variety among the huts. That Of
the chief gives but little outward indi-
cation of superior rank and riches. The
inequalities of wealth among the Kafirs
for they exist there quite as much as
with us at home-are chiefly shown by
the possession of more or less cattle.
These latter form their main article of
exchange, and the number of beasts to
be given in lieu of anything forms its
estimated value. This even extends to
the purchase of wives. As a rule the
huts are grouped together, forming vii
lagos, or "kraals," and each kraal is
under the authority of a headman, OF
sub-chief. He is usually chosen from
his social position in the kraal, either as
the head of the family nearest the chief
OF the tribe. or else from his superior
wealth to the other members of the
kraal community. His power is abso.
lutte, and, with the assistance and ad.
vice of the witch doctor-a Kafir fanatic
who lays claim to mystic and super.
natural powers-it isoften accompanied
by the most cruel abuse. These vii.
lagos, dotted all over the hills and
perched in most unexpected places
looked at first sight like anything in the
world but WHAT they really are, viz
human habitations. In fact, as | said
before, the description nearest to the
reality of the impression they produce
is that of countless beehives swarming

You'll know me just ms well.

What would become of an un'
watched public garden in this city to-
day? In a brief space it would be desc
lation. The grounds of the Rochester
University are an example. There is
not towering shrub on these grounds
that is not despoiled of its beauty every
year by those who have not learned tc
respect public property. The children
are not taught to respect such property
as they ought to be. And here it may
be well to suggest that such respect
ought to be inculcated in the schools, i
it is not at home. Rochester Democrat
