Another conference between the Super.

been requested by the Trustees to tell the
Board that, inasmuch as the only business
that was to be attended to was the hearing
of legal opinions as to the Supervisors
powers in the premises, they did not see
the necessity Of their attendance.
Business was then proceeded with.
District Attorney Bruner, to whom, in
conjunction with Mr.. Johnson, had been
referred the drainage tangle by the Super

CAPE A NIGHT IN JAIL.

took carriage and drove to fashionable
restaurant, where they dined.
Throughout the day the corridors adjoin-
ing the grand jury rooms were haunted by
angry creditors. In the County Court other
sufferers watched the investigation progress
ing there regarding Prettyman's affairs.
According to admissions OF H. H. Bishop,
the silent partner of the banker. the collapse

A BURNING SEPULCHRE.
CHASTITY SPECTACLE AT AN INDIANA
MEDICAL COLLEGE FIRE.
Firemen Forced to Battle With the Horrors
of Dissecting Room in Addition to the
F1ames-Dead Bodies Carelessly Hustled
Into Corners.


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsrAFcH.I
INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. ia fire broke
out in the Indiana Medical College early
this morning. The fremen had peculiar
experience. A young man, hatless and
coatless, and with face blackened with
smoke, met the first company at the entrance
to the broad stairway and called out: "Up
in the dissecting ROOM "Great heavens"
exclaimed one of the boys in blue, who had
never been known to finch, but who always
had horror for dead people. ANY stlts
up there?" asked another fireman, as he
grabbed his ak and started toward the door,
"Only 10, said the young medical student.
The stalrways and Railways were full of
smoke, and, as the top flight was ap-
preached, stencil, a mixture of the smell
which ALWAYS cores from dissecting room
and of roasting flesh, was met Some OF the
fremen fell back a moment, but they soon
recovered and pushed on to the uppermost
floor. They pushed open the door and this
is the sight that met their eyes: A big
room with floor covered couple OF inches
with sawdust; broad tables, on which were
stretched human forms; some men, some
women, some young, some old, some beauti-
full, some homely, some with forms as per-
feet as death had left them, some carved un-
til little but the skeletons remained. A
dense smoke was issuing from the floor, and
flames threw halo OF light across this YER
liable sepulchre, revealing more plainly
the features of the dead and great spots of
blood that here and there appeared on the
floor of sawdust.
"Cut the foor," came the order, and in a
moment tables upon which were stretched
the nude bodies of the dead were being
hustled to another corner of the room. A
fireman stumbled, and one middle-aged
man, whose right limb had been laid open,
rolled off into the sawdust. Two fremen
grabbed him and threw him over into a
corner as if he had been only bag of salt
The bodies that had rested directly over the
fire had already begun to sizzle from the
effects of the heat, and the faces, few
minutes before as natural as life, were
blackened with the smoke. It was stub
born fight, but the building was saved. The
students, while engaged in dissecting bodies,
had thrown lighted cigarettes on the floor

For Excavating Delphi, but a Stumbling
Block in the Way.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
CAMBRIDGE, MASS, Dec. 12.-There has
been considerable talk in the papers to the
effect that the project for excavating Delphi
under the auspices of the American Arch
biological Institute has been abandoned.
Prof G. Norton, who has been considerably
interested in the matter, has made public
these facts: Harvard College has raised the
sum promised by her for the excavations at
Delphi, and not only she, but also America,
stands ready with the promised sum to be-
gin the work.
'But affairs have come to a standstill,
owing to a change of Ministry in Greece.
The former Minister was ready to help US in
every way, but the new Minister is
opposed to him, not only polit-
ically, but also personally. Whether
he will allow US to begin the work and help
us in it, remains to be seen. Meanwhile
negotiations are being opened with him, and
in the course of few months we shall know
whether he favors our project or not Until
then nothing further can be done"

Bad Lands.
PINE RIDGE AGENCY, Dec. 12.-Gen-
eral Brooke has wired to General Miles
that few of the Indians in the Bad Lands
had broken away and were moving north

Sioux, including the bands of Two Strike,
are marching in from the Bad Lands to
Pine Ridge Agency in obedience to Gen.
eral Brooke's order, and will report to him

ing that great many Indians who have
been keeping up ghost dances are now COM
ing down with something like la grippe;

taking hold upon them. Dancing naked
in the cold weather that recently prevailed
was too much even for the toughened saw
ages.

Britain and ireland against the Monterey
and Mexican Gulf Railroad Company, for
the recovery of $780, 900 for breach of con-

Tampico, and subsequently for a second line
from Monterey to Vanadito, the lines to be
exempt from taxation for 20 years. In 1888

pany completed the roads. The bonds were
taken up by the foreign company, which
also took second mortgage, agreeing to ad-
vance $780, 200. The railroad company
failed in its contract with the plaintiff.

In Resisting Arrest for Assault, Murder Is
Added to Other Crimes.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 12.-W. b. Curl, who
was whipped by personal enemies, near
Brandenburg last week, is still hardly able
to be about. The men were about to hang
him, but upon his plea for the sake of his
children. contented themselves with beating
him until he was bleeding from heavy welts
from his shoulders to his knees.
When Constable Massey, with the warrant,
called upon Thomas Burgess to answer the
charge of beating Curl, Burgess took his
shotgun and fired through the door. None
of the shots took effect. Then he went to
the window and fired the other barrel. The
charge entered the bowels of John Foote,
and he fell to the ground dead. During
the excitement created by the shooting of
Foote, Burgess escaped through a rear
window and is at large.
