Isle, were arrested on Sunday on a charge of

of the policy, $1,000. These papers were sent
in. April, 1887, when in reality the woman
did not die until September ID, 1887, nearly
six months after 1t is alleged that the

and that they forged the name of A. b. Ew-
ing, an undertaken Of Carlisle, to certificate

were held in bail for their appearance at the
next term of court.

UNDER FALSE COLORs.

Hoimnn'S Election Fraud Bill Was oriGi
nnlIy Drafted by n Republican.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-It supervenes
that the bill which Representative Hoi'
man introduced in the House the other
day providing for the purity Of the bal
lot box and punishment for corruption
in elections, did not contain ideas Gre
ated By him. He introduced the same
bill in the first session OF the Forty
ninth Congress, and marked them, on
these occasions, as being introduced
"by request"
The copy of tho bill which he intro
dNced the other day is not marked "by
request" however. The bill was drafted
by General Hovey while he was prac-
ticing law at his bone in Mt. Vernon,
and was sent from there to Mr.. Holman,
who either did not regard the sHgges-
tons it contained Us being judicious and
equitable, or from principle he did not
desire TO push the measure to consider
alton. He was content TO simply intro
dnce it and let it be referred TO a COM
mittee. After the recent agitation Of the
question OF corruption at the polls, Mr..
Holman eXumed General Hovey's bill
and reintrodueed it as his own.
1t does not appear that Dir, Holman
ever asked the committee to take any
action on it, and there is no reason to
believe that he intends to pursue any
other course than that OF the demagogue.

CoLuMuus, Dec. 23.-Prof. II. j. Det-
mcr, of the Ohio State University, has
concluded the task of photographing the
germs causing yellow fever that had
been sent him by DR.. James L. Reeves,
OF Chattanooga.
The Professor says this is the first
time that yellow fever germs have been
found in the tissues, scientists hereto
fore searching for them in vain. They
have been found in zooglea capillary
blood vessels, which appear distendcd
and ruptured, and at these rnpturs
these zooglea masses are dense and large,
The bacili present themselves in four
forms; the first is a plain, dark, round
mass, the second 0u oval, with Il dark
point at each extremity, the third an
oblong disk, with dark points, rs in the
second, and the fourth two dark points
united by n film and strikiDgly resem'
bling a dumbbell.
Being asked as to how the discovery
regarding the cause OF yellow fever came
to be made, the Professor snid "Dr
Sternberg, Of John Hopkins University,
for n number of years has made ex'
haustive search for yellow fever germs,
but without success, in the tissues

Manchester, England, is SO generally
recognized as the home OF the Free
Trade propaganda, that it has given its
name to that school OF political thought
and activity. When Free Trade comes
to he at any discount at all in Manches
ter, Free Trade is in a bad way.
Now that the Presidential campaign
in the United States is over, Manchester
thinks it safe and prudent to attack Free
Trade and 10 hit it hard. Manchester
resolves that duties equal to those i'm
posed on British products should be put
on the wares OF other countries coming
in to compete with the products OF
British industry.

CLEVELAND, o., Dec. 23.-Asuit invol.
wing large amount OF money was be-
gun in the United States Court satur-
day by. George B. Jenkinson, of New
Jersey, against Dan. p. EeiIs, D. W.
Caldwell, Calvin S. Brice, Ex-Governor
Charles Foster, Samuel Thomas, George
I. Seney, John +. Martin, George +.
Stone, Adrian lselin, Walston H. Braun,
Columbus P. Cummings and William G.,
Howard. In his petition Mr.. JenEinson
alleges that in December, 1879, the de-
PENDANTS gave contract to Brown, How.
ard & Co. TO build the Ohio Central rail
road. The contractors were to assume
control Of the old Columbus 4 Sunday
Creek road, and build additions to it.
The new road was to be called the Ohio
Central road, and was to be bought from
Brown, Howard & Co. by the syndicate
for S3,O00,OOO.
The work was done, the syndicate
bought the road and paid the stipulated
sum for it. 1t then issued S5,0O0,00O
worth OF stock, S3,000,000 worth Of first
mortgage bonds and S30OO,0 900 worth Of
income bonds. These were put upon
the market and sold on the representa-.
ton that the whole 100000 was paid
in, whereas all that had ever been paid
was the 100000 paid to the contract
ors. The plaintiff bought some Of the
bonds. The syndicate swOre to the State
Commissioner, Jenkinson says, thai
everything had been paid in. After two
or three years the road became insolvent
and was foreclosed, and only u few dol
lars we're paid on each OF the Sl,00t
bonds.
Mr.. Jenkinson charges fraud upon tit
men composing the syndicate, and de
sircs the court to hold them responsible
for the amount OF the bonds still unpaid
After the petition was filed John S. Stan
ton, Of New York, made application t.
