METHOD IN HIS MADNESS.
DR.. Hostetter Evened Up an In
suit offered Him by the Comp
troller OF Pittsburg.

suit offered Him by the Comp
trolier OF Pittsburg.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Nov. 17.-It has just
been ascertained why DR.. Hostetter lett
no will. IL seems that the millionaire
had made a will, one of the requests
provided for being fund for fine art
gallery and mechanics ball, to be given
to the city of Pittsburg, to cost mill
ion dollars. A few weeks ago, how
ever, the city comptroller took a step
which angered DR.. Hostetter 50 that he
destroyed the will. 1t appears that Dr.
HOstetter was bondSman for city con-
tractor against whom Judgment i'll
favor Of the city had been rendered.
On that judgment the city comptroller
had an execution issued OH some of the
doctors property. The doctor felt that
undue haste was used, as ne was good
for the amount, and would have paid it
without the necessity of an action. The
comptroller's action so offended the doc
tor that he went to the Safe Deposit
company, where he had deposited his
will, and tore it into shreds, and up to
the time of his death he could not be
induced to make another.

Who Murdered Him a?

The body of John Akin, living near Cassop-
oils, who was murdered on the 10th OF
December last, was found floating in Long
lake the other day near the place where he
was last seen alive, and from the bruised
and mangled condition of his face, head and
neck there is ne question but that he met a
violent death. Soon after his disappearance
the lake froze over and until recently has
been covered with ice. He was heard late
in the evening making Outcries, as though
attacked by two ormore persons. Recently
a boy by the name of Wilson has made a
confession, duplicating one Gus Harris, a
desperate character, who has been frequent
ly before the courts charged with minor
offenses, as the murderer, and told many
crooked stories as to the place where the
body was deposited. He led the officers OF
TO lake two miles from whore the body
was found, and fully 1000 people gathered
10 see divers search for the body. Great
excitement attends the case and Gus Harris,
the alleged murderer, is in Jail under arrest
for trivial Offense, but the witness Wilson
has escaped from the officers who had him
under arrest pending the search for the
missing body.

following circular.
HEADQUARTERS DEPT. OF MICHIGAN,
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC,
JACKSON, May 1, 1888,
GENERAL ORDERS.
No2
The annual recurrence of Memorial Day
is near at hand. Its coming should be pre-
coded by thorough and judicious prepare
tion for its observance. AS day its hal
lowed associations have already enshrined
it in the affections of our countrymen. Its
proper observance serves to honor the men,
the sacrifice of whose lives made possible
the preservation of the Union; TO impress
upon manhood and womanhood the tremeGl-
dous cost at which the flag floats over all
the land, and TO teach to childhood and
youth the nature and value OF our institu-
tons, and the Importance of fidelity TO and
maintenance of them.
AS we prepare TO visit the shrines OF the
honored dead, whose sacrifice upon our
country's altar for the upholding of the
Constitution and laws, guarantees TO us our
civil and religious liberties, let all mere par
tisan or sectarian differences DO put aside.
Let the clergy, regardless of denomination
or creed, bs invited to deliver suitable dis
courses TO their respective congregations
on the Sunday Immediately preceding May
80. So far as practicable on that day, let
the post or posts in each locality, uniformed
and in body, attend a union service at
such time and place as may be determined
upon.
In the preparation for Memorial day, it is
recommended and urged that all veterans,
whether members of the Grand Army or
not, be invited to form with the comrades
in line of march; that the Woman's Relief
Corps Sons Of Veterans, municipal officers,
clergy, teachers and pupils in the higher
institutions Of learning and in tho public
schools, as well as the citizens at large, be
invited to participate in the public cere-
monies.
1t is further recommended that nothing
be done or countenauced by the Grand
Army, that shall in any way reflect iniuri
ously upon the order or tend to mar the
solemnities Of an occasion too sacred to be
made subservient TO financial gain or social
festivities. BY command Of
