Charged with False Pretenses.

Frank Wannaker, who represents himself as
a horse buyer from Rochester, N. Y. was
arrested last night by Sergeant Lowe and
charged with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. The arrest was made on the complaint
of Frank Schofeld the owner of livery-stable
on Delaware street Several days ago Wan
maker came to the city and registered
at of the leading hotels. He Wis
tied the horse-dealers of the city, and
announced that he had 81 700 with him he want
ed 10 invest in Indianapolis horses. He became
quite intimate with Mr.. Schofeld. and Saturday
bargained for pair of match horses Mr.. .Scho-
field owned. He asked to have the horses board
ed for few days, he did not desire to have
his 81, 700 check cashed until he had made sever
al purchases. In the meantime it is charged,
he began borrowing money from all
the horse dealers, with the promise
that it would be repaid when he cashed his
check. He got ten dollars from Mr. Schofeld
and like from quite number of other
men. Last evening Wannaker was in sa-
loop on East Washington street, and Mr.. Scho-
field. hearing of it. went there and demanded
the money he had loaned him. Wannaker.
Schof1eld says. confessed that he had no check,
and did not intend to buy any horses.

Insane from Religious Excitement.

A somewhat remarkable case of insanity on
account of religious excitement is reported from
Lawrence township For several weeks re-
vival has been in progress at Bethel Church,
which occasioned a great deal of interest. Two
weeks ago several of those who had become ex-
hausted from excitement began going into
frances. and a gentleman living in the neighbo
hood says that frequently persons remained in
the church in a semi-conscous condition
until 2 and o'clock in the morning. The resi-
dents of the surrounding country be-
came SO excited that all those who
did not attend the meeting were
visited and urged to become converts. Among
those visited was Newton Pollard, member OF
the Christrian Church. Some of his wife's rela-
.tives ong the converts and they daily WIS.,
Hted him. and warned him that he would surely
Fbe-lo unless he attended the meeting and aided
IN the cause. Mr. Pollard became SO affected by
fhe appeals that several days ago he began to
SHOW signs of insanity. and Sunday he became
wildly insane. Unless it becomes positively
necessary he will not be committed to the asy-
