THE SUPREME COURT.
Reasons Why the Number of Justices
Should BE Increased.

Reasons Why the Number of Justices
Should BE Increased.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-One of the
reasons which the Supreme Court JUS
tices think should have weight in favor
of the passage of a bill to increase the
number of Justices of the Supreme
Court bench is the large territory over
which some of them have to preside
when they go on circuit during the
summer recess of the court. Justice
Miller's circuit includes Colorado,
Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska
and the Northwest. This circuit is the
one Judge Brewer has presided over,
and there is unanimity of opinion
among lawyers that it is too large for
one Circuit Judge, and that the extreme
Western territory should be divided by
creating at least two additional SUI
preme Court Justices to sit with the
Circuit Judges in the new made dis
trict when not on the bench at Wash
inptOn.

FRAUDS CHARGED.
Grave Accusations Against Henry Craw-

Grave Accusations Against Henry Craw.
ford, Of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-For two days
past two prominent Indiana lawyers,
General Lew Wallace and Lew Hatch,
have been at the Grand Pacific Hotel
on secret mission, and extraordinary
measures have been taken to prevent
publicity. The object of the visit, how
ever, was manifested when they ap-
peared in Judge Gresham's chambers
and laid before the judge charges of a
sensational character against Henry
Crawford, the we'll known Chicago
lawyer and railroad speculatOr.
The accusations against Mr.. Craw-
ford are, in brief, that in 1885 he
bought the Midland Railway Company
of Indiana for $4,000 at a foreclosure
sale, and within a short time thereaf-
ter originated a scheme for floating
bonds for SIC, OOO.OO upon a road the
value of whose rolling stock, right of
way and all other assets was
not over $4,000. Fraud of bold
and ingenious kind is charged against
him, and on a portion of the 10000
600 issue of bonds 1000 are known
to have been obtained with i prospect
that this is only part of the sum
fraudulently realized.
MeSsrs. Wallace and Hatch represent
the Loan & Investment Company of
New York, which claims to be Il victim
of Mr.. Crawford's railroad financiering
to the extent of $50, 600 and is the first

Evidence of the Premature Burial Of q
Young Girl.
MADISON, Wis, Dec. ia sad case
of premature burial has just developed
here. About month ago diphtheria
appeared in the house of prominent
family. A young domestic was terri
bly, frightened and desired to go to her
home in the country, but the attending
physician would not permit her, not
from fear of spreading the disease, but
to render assistance to the family. A
young child died of the dread disease,
and this, with the horror of diseases,
caused the girl to take to her bed, and
she apparently died in few hours,
and was at once buried by the author
tiles. A few days ago her parents OBJ
tanned permission to remove the body
to the country, and upon opening the
casket they were Mortified to discover
