SCANDAL AT WILLIAMSP0RT.
The Wife of Lawyer Proves Unfaithful and
ElopeS with Druggist of the Town.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WIILIAMsPoRr Ind, Dec. 4-This place is
enjoying frst-class scandal in high life and
from the prominence of the parties involved
promises 20 be the sensation of the season. For
some time past rumor has had it that the wife of
James NJ Hunter, o prominent lawyer and bust
ness man of this place, has not been just what a
true wife should be, and yesterday these rumors
assumed the form of facts. Early yesterday
morning Mr.. Hunter came to town to transact
some business, and returning home earlier than
was his habit, found his his wife in the COM
pany of Will Crawford, druggist of this place.
Crawford, as soon as he found he was discovered
jumped out of q window and made his escape
leaving his coat and hat in his hurried exit
Hunter then came back to town and began pro-
ceedings against his wife for divorce The
papers were suppressed and the grounds
for the divorce are not known.
1t has since been ascertained that Crawford and
Mrs Hunter were seen getting south-bound
train on the G. & /. C. railroad at Attica and
their whereabouts is not known. Crawford is
deeply involved financially, and his store has
been closed by the sheriff on an execution which
he has been holding for some time. Several at
tachment suits have been filed to-day, and more

OPENING THE BOOKS.
That Was What Was Done in Blackford Coun

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
HARTFORD City, Ind, Dee. 4-"Open the
books and count the money" was the baStle-cry
of the Republicans in this county in the last
campaign, and the wisdom Of making the de-
mand and enforcing it is now becoming appar-
ent. No little surprise and excitement were Gre
ated in this city to-day over the announced dis
covery of large defalcation in the accounts of
the Democratic ex-county treasurer, John r.
Huffman. The books in the treasurer's Office
show that at the expiration of his term of Office,
two weeks ago, the county treasury should have
contained $50. 160, but of this sum only $40.
600 has been accounted for, leaving a
deficiency of $40, O,lG0 Mr. Huffman
claims that he has checks and certificates of de-
posit in the Citizens Bank, of this city. suffi-
cient to cover all but So 600 of the discrepancy,
but as vet he has failed to produce them, and
the question remains why he neglected, il they
were in his possession. to turn them over to his
successor with the rest of the funds. the ex-
treasurer yesterday sold his furniture store, and
it is believed is making an honest endeavor to
make good the loss. He has heretofore borne an
excellent reputation, and the story Of his irregu-
larties, as made public to-day, is source of
much regret and chagrin to his friends.

RUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

Renewal of Old Disputes About Boundary
Lines In AfShanistan.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Dec. 4-The Russo.Afehan dispute
promises to supersede the Bulgarian question
during the coming week, as the topic of discus,
sion in diplomatic circles. Sir Joseph NJ. Ridg-
way, the British commissioner, who has been
telegraphed to return at once to London, will ar
rive here tomorrow and the negotiations be-
tween the Cabinets Of England and st. Peters
burg respecting the territory in dispute will then
be commenced. It is admitted that deadlock
exists on the Kham-i-ab question, and that seri-
ous trouble is anticipated in settling the matter
Both Sir ]. w. Ridgway and Major Durand, Of the
British delimitation commission, claim that the
evacuation of Kham-iab to-day means the loss
of the whole of Afghan Turkestan tomorrow,
and that the surrender of the place would polit-
ically have disastrous effect on the population
of Afghanistan so far as England was concerned
The Russian commissioners declared that the
Afghan frontier on the Oxus starts from the
ferry village of Khoj Saleb. and refused to yield
the point The Cosack guards are now so close
to the ferry that the ferry itself is practically in
their hands The revolt in Afghanstan puts
England at greater disadvantage than she
experienced when dealing with the Penjdeh
affair

THE GERMANY ARMY BILL.

Attitude of the Clericals-VoD MOltke Makes
Strong Appeal in Behalf Of the Measure.
BERLIN, Dec. 4.-The debate on the govern
ment's bill for a renewal of the military septen-
nate, or fixing of the army estimates for a period
of seven years. was resumed in the Reichstag
to-day. The present septennate not expiring

during the present debate which is on the frat

Intense interest was manifested when it be-
came known that Dr. Windthorst, the clerical

and diplomatic, and lett doubt as to what the
ultimate vote of the Center would be- He
opened by stating that ne would not prejudice
the position of his party in subsequent divisions

as to how the Center would vote The final de-

Signs Indicating a Peaceful Settlement of
the Bulgarian Dispute.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, Dec. A good sign in favor of a
peaceful and quiet settlement of the Bulgarian
imbrcgio is the disposition in so many quarters
to accept the candidate Russia has put forward.
The Prince of Mingrelia is forty fat and impe-
cunious, and if he goes to Bulgaria he will have
to rely on the Russian exchequer for his means
of support Prince Alexander of Battenberg had
the singular good luck to get his large claims
paid up before the Bulgarian Treasury was
drained, but since then not even military officers
can get their pay. The Prince of Mingreha will,
therefore, be puppet in the hands of the Gear,
his pecuniary necessities alone compelling him
to lean on the Russian ruler. But he will be
swallowed by the powers, nevertheless.
King Milan will receive the deputation Of Bull
garian notables tomorrow. It is reported here
that the Bulgarian regency will make overtures
tosKing Milan to induce him to become a candi-
date for the Bulgarian throne, with view TO ar
ranging union between Servia Eastern Rou-
melia and Bulgaria.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Dec. 4-Many people are al
most going wild here over the big money being
made in consequence of the extension of Massa-

Pools of every imaginable description for in
vestment in real estate are being formed even

npulating deal of no mean proportions. Those
who bought the rural property in the north
western part of the city, which will be affected
by the avenue extension, have made much
money--if they can sell at the current estimate
placed upon their property
There are two or three real estate pools among
men on Capitol hill, who have but ordinary
means. which have been operated for more than
a year with great success The memberships
are limited. usually to about hundred Each
one buys book and it costs $40 or $50 a month.
Officers are elected by the book-holders at
meetings held annually, and an executive COM
mittee selected which makes all the investments.
The pool, as it is known simply buys and sells
residences and vacant lots. None of the high
priced property is touched When anything is
bought it is sold as soon as a good profit can be
obtained. The interest on the investments go
far have netted more than 20 per cent on an
average while one pool that has been in operation
about sixteen months claims to have netted over
80 per cent. None Of the book owners want TO
sell out.

crowded as now Five hundred people are pro-
