bana.
The Urbana Daily Citizen OF Wednesday
makes decidedly startling revelation which,
If true, affects people in this city and is OF a
sufficiently serious character to demand i'm
mediate investigation by the health and
police authorities here. 1t is that the flesh
OF cattle dying from disease has been brought
here and retailed out in the market to con-
zen says that a gang has been operating in
and around Urbans for sometime, stealing
horses, cattle, hogs, chickens and SO forth.
seeming to have regular organization
| thorties. Recently, however, two OF the
gang, John O'Pelt aud Billy liegly, were ar
| rested for cattle stealing and are now in Jail
Seeing that the jig was probably up, several
are said to have vamoosed, while others are
shaking in their boots. New developments
are being made and number of additional
| arrests are likely to be made shortly. But
the statement which most intimately concerns
this community is rs follows, as made by the
Citizen OF last evening"
The worst case yet reported is the butcher
ing OF diseased co and taking the meat TO
| Springfield where il WIS sold. The COW be-
| longed to a Mr.. Unkefer, of Concord town
ship, and was purchased by Hegly and an-
other man. The COW when purchased by
these two men was lying in the road, almost
dead with milk fever, and had been doctored
tor the disease without being cured. The gen.
tlemau who sJld them the COW supposed they
only wanted the hide and never dreamed Of
them selling the meat After the COW was
| butchered the meat was taken 10 Springfield
where 1t was sold to a butcher tor fresh and
sound meat, and by him in turn retailed to
his custom,rs
Thus the gang have not only been stealing
by the wholesale, but they have been selling
diseased meat to the Springfield butchers.
There is heavy penalty onnected with this
crime, and as the meat was sold in Spring
field, the authorities will have to look it up.
There has been occasional hints here Of
something of this kind, but nothing so direct
before this time The attention OF the au-
thorities is called to the matter, as an oppor-
tunity here presents Tor some unusually nice
detective work, and all reputable dealers are
interested in having the matter thoroughly

Yesterday afternoon the Mayor bound S.
G.. Clarke over to court in the sum OF 500 on
a charge ot embezzlemeut, preferred by the
Hanika Iron Fence Company. 1t seems that
Clarks had received $50 from the cemetery
trustees OF Manchester in payment OF con-
tract which he had fulfilled on behalf of the
fence company, and for which he was to get
S25 wages. He paid out of it $24 to settle
private bill, and, as the company was in
debted to him still for work on
previous contract, he refused to hand
over the money, and deposited it
with Charles Woods for safe keeping, as
disinterested party. The Fence Company
served notice on Woods to pay over the
money, but he did not do it, fearing that
Clarke might come back on him tor it. The
Fence Company then preferred the charge Of
embezzlement and it was argned last Friday,
but the decision was reserved until today
This morning the suit of the Fence Company
against Charles Woods to recover the money
($6l) which lies in his safe. The decision
was reserved. II is hard luck that a
technicality OF the law, which Clarke did no,
understand should hold him up for embezzle.

decision by saying that defendant had NJ

An Accident That Might Have Been
Worse,

An Accident That Might Have Been
At 5;l5 last evening a great commotion
was caused on Market Square by the falling
of the scaiiolding in front of Spangenberger s
new building on Market street, Just south OF
Washington. The masons we're engaged dur
ing the afternoon in putting on the cornice Of
brick aud stone at the top Of the tall build
ing, aud it was noticed that the AIRY wooden
scafiold had been rocking aud shaking very
violently under the weight of the
heavy stone they were handling.
This motion had caused the nails by
which the scatiold was loosely held together
to work partly out and at the time mentioned
they all gave away at once, precipitsting tie
braces, boards and bricks that were on them
to the ground in Il perfect shower. Three
masohs, Henry Wiley, colored, Charlie Cook
and George Mori'z. were on the scaffold and
saved themselves by grasping the supporting
posts and clinging to them for dear life,
afterwsrd working down the posts and in at
the windows There were a great many
passengers in the street below, and
two ladies, Mrs. Dinke and Miss
Camille Kittrell were Immediately be-
meath it when the bricks began to shower
about their heads and the boards came crash
ing down. They sprang from under and by
pure good luck, escaped without scratch,
though they were So frightened that they
had to rest in keye's shoe shop, next door,
for almost an hour before they had recovered
strength sufficiently to continue to their
homes. The workmen on the roof imagined
the whole front Of the building was falling
in and the manner in which they got down
by the back way was anything but slow. AL
together 1t was probably as lucky an accident
as ever occurred.

ing-Instructions Received by the Com
mittee Last Night.
John Kinnane, chairman OF the newly ap-
pointed commission to select site tor the
government building, last night received his
official instructions from Secretary Manning,
accompanied by the necessary papers and
blanks. Each member OF the commission

the property selected. If a corner lot is se-
cured it must be so by l30 feet; if frontage
on only one street can be secured the lot
must he 200 feet front by 80 feet deep.
Sealed proposals for the sale Of the
property must be received by July %,
1888. The commission will open these
bids and forward them to Washington, rec
ommeniing the site they have selected rs the
most suitable; but the Treasury Department
reserves the right to reject any or all the bids.
The proposals must be advertised for in two
papers of good circulation. The date fixed
for opening the bids is much earlier than was
expected, and means that the Department in
tends to rush the work as rapidly as possible.
Ia speaking OF the matter this morning, a
prominent manufacturer said; There never
was better time to make public improve
ments than Just now, when there are hun
dreds OF honest men who can find no work to
support their families The Government
