opened the trunk. taken the money and
left the premises. The robbery was reported
to Chief Splann, who at once put Thorton

he declared, he at Once turned over the en-
tire amount to the woman. She, on the

SPENCER'S ARTESIAN WE'LL.
Excursion of Ladies and Gentlemen to a Place
That Promises to Be a Fine Resort.

Yesterday morning about fifty ladies' and
gentlemen went down to Spencer on the
Vincennes railroad to look at the artesian
well, which is likely to attract considera-
bic attention next summer. There were n
number of ministers among them. Reys.
Baltzly. Lucas and Van Buskirk, and sew
eral physicians. among whom were Drs.
Waterman, Brayton. Todd. Cline. Patter-
son, Eastman, Hurry. Soils Runnels, C. /.
Fletcher and Wagner. There were other
distinguished guests, belonging to neither
the clergy nor the medical profession. and
these were headed by General Coburn and
Professor Bell.
On arrival the party were received by a
large gathering of ladies and gentlemen of
Spencer and conducted to tho residence of
Hon. L. III. Fowler. where they were hand
somely entertained. the LADIES' having pre-
pared a dinner for the visitors. Following
the repast q number of pleasant speeches
were made by both visitors and visited, the
latter being well represented in bright saw
ings of Judge Franklin. Mr.. Fowler and
Mr.. Calvin Fletcher. The artesian well
was visited, and the company strolled
about the beautiful grounds of
Mr.. Fletcher. enjoying as pictur-
esque a bit of landscape as Indiana
affords. The sole object of the excursion
was TO show the great artesian well and
Its inviting surroundings. and all the visit
ors were charmed with the location, beau
tifnl even In mid-winter.
The company, which was formed some
time ago. now has ample capital for the pur-
pose OF building q sanitarium and summer
hotel at Spencer, and will probably begin
operations as soon as the weather will per-
nit The physicians who accompanied the
party spoke IN the highest terms of the
medicinal properties OF the water.

Coroner Doves Finding in Regard to the Re-

At noon. yesterday, DR.. Dove, coroner of
Hamilton county. rendered the finding that
Mrs.. Nellie Eubank. Charles O. Deming,
Miss Hattie Hensley. Miss Mary E. Hoover,
Matte and Lola Oldham came to their
death by means of an accident to train No.
I, upon which they were passengers, on the
Monon division of the L., n. A.. & c. rail-
road, ~three-quarters of q mile north of Car
mel. The Coroner found, from the evil
dence, that the accident was caused by the
overtu.ning of the rail. caused by raising
the track by "shiving." He further noted
that the evidence showed that when about
the middle of a t~hree-degree curve, 1000
feet in length, over Wilkinson's run, while
the train was going at q speed of thirty
miles an hour, a part of it was derailed,
carried over the ties and upon the ~trestie-
work, tearing up the track and
breaking down the %trestle, pre-;
one coach down the embankmeDt
on the west side of the ~trestle, and the
ladies' coach and sleeper on the east side,

Others. The engine remained on the track

bodies of Hattie Hensley. Matte and Lola
Oldham. He found that the employees. in
charge of the train were competent; hat
the trestle had been repaired and strength
ened two weeks prior to the accident. and
that its condition did not directly contrib
ute to the accident.
He further found that on the curve IFS
feet north of the ~trestle, one rail had been
raised by placing blocks from Is to 1 inch
in thickness on IL consecutive ties, and
that spikes of the usual length, sig
inches, had been used to secure them, but
that the ties were not sound at the point
where the spikes were driven, and the road
bed being soft the rail had turned and let
the wheels of one of the trucks drop off on
to the ties. causing the train to leave the
track and 60 through the bridge. In con-
~clnsion, he deemed it 8 dangerous expedi-
ent to use "shiving" on such a curve when
many of the ties are unsound. He said that

A DEFICIENCY REPORTED.
The Minnesota Examiner Advises the Closing
Up Of a Building and Loan Association.

Agents of the American Building and
Loan Association, of Minneapolis. have
met with considerable success in this State
in promoting the interests of that concern.
Thu association has had no general head
quarters for Indiana. but controlled it's
agents directly from the home Office Thoi-
operations have been confined chiefly to
the northern part of the State. where q
large number of shares i'll the association
have been sold. One agent said recently
that during the past year he met with re-
markable success. He sold as high as
800 shares in one month. and at
no time for a liz period did
he sell less than four hundred. The
association is one of those that is national
in it's character, assuming to do the same
business on a vast scale that is transacted
by local loan and building associations.
Men experienced in that line of business
have expressed doubts as to the American
being able to continue long on such a large
system. Their views have been verified by
the conclusions reached by Mr.. Kenyon,
public examiner of Minnesota, who has
been looking into its affairs.
This examination wasmade on the charge

in conflict with Section 4 of the Minnesota
law regarding building, loan and saving as
sociations doing a general business That
section provides that for every loan made
a note ~n0n-negOtiable or bond secured by
first mortgage on real estate shall be given
in double the value of the loan, and salts
factory to the directors. and shall be accom-
panied by a transfer and pledge of the
shares of the borrower to the association.
1t also provides that the shares SO pledged
shall be held by the corporation as collat-
eral security for the performance of the
conditions of said note or bond and mort
gage: provided that the shares, without
other security. may, in the discretion of
the directors, be accepted as security for
the loans for an amount not exceeding their
withdrawal valne.
In his report to the Attorney-general of
Minnesota, Mr.. Kenyon said that it was un-
safe and i~nexpedient for tho American to
continue to transact business. He sub

Excess of receipts over assets. S74,71s.2s

After transacting business for two years
the examiner states that the association. in
addition to the deficiency of S74. 71s.2S,
has aid to agents a sum estimated at
$780, 900. These agents procured subscrip-
lions to the stock of the concern. The
association" continues Mr.. Kenyon in his
report. mot only wants from subscribers TO
stock the payment of fees to relieve il from
the burden of expense to secure such sub
scriptiODs. but also exacts from its bor-
rowers almost the entire expense of
appraising, making abstracts. and
other expenses connected with making
loans. thus making the shortage in the
assets TO appear as having been brought
about by the expense of receiving. caring
for and disbursing the receipts. The de-
ficiency appears to be nearly o per cent. of
the total sum received, and i know of no
loaning business that can safely be pur-
sued where the expense for all purposes
reaches that percentage. An additional
reason that makes il appear to me that
said association should not continue to do
business is the fact that on Aug. 2, 1889. and
Aug. l6, 1889. said association invested n
large sum. ~aggregating 100000, In the stock
