Fell from a Wagon and Killed.

Fell from Wagon and Killed.
Last Saturday evening, J John Schuele
mann, of the Second ward, the driver
of one of the A. Fuermann Brewing
company's teams, fell from the wagon
while returning from delivering some
being picked up He was discovered
by S. A. Jones, of Hustisford, who was
on his return from the Jefferson fair,
near the residence of Eugene O'Con-
nor, in the town of Emmett, and was
still breathing. The team was found
standing under tree short distance
from where the driver was discov-
cred. DR.. Masterson was sent for, but
by the time he arrived the unfortunate
man had breathed his last. There is
no evidence that Schuelemann was run
over, but from the fact that when found
!, he was bleeding freely from the nose
makes it highly probable that his death
occurred from internal injuries. It is
thought that he fell from his wagon
while asleep, as he had been at his
work since o'clock that morning.
Deceased was 20 years of age and a
most faithful man with his work. He
was the only support of an aged father
and an invalid sister, for both of whom
great sympathy is felt in the loss they
have sustained.

Work. MacFarlane, Pfeiffer. DUNCAN syndi
cate, which it is alleged wrecked the Bank
of America and American Life Insurance
Company, was arrested Thursday night on
warrant sworn out by District Attorney
Allen, and at hearing to-day. in default Of
$4,000 bail, was committed to Moyamen-
sing prison. District Attorney Allen also
swore out warrants for the arrest of State
Senator John J. McFarlane. Louis E.
Pfeifer and James S. DUNCAN, bat Work
was the only ono of the number the consta-
Die could find.
CHARGES OF THE WARRANT.
The warrant on which Work was arrested
charges him with rehypothecating stock
and with conspiracy to cheat and defraud
the depositors and others interested in the
Bank Of America. The warrant also charges
him with similar offenses in connection with
the American Life Insurance Company.

American Life Insurance Company, and

THE CLIMAX.
The peculiar and disastrous financial
methods of the quartette reached q climax
last spring, and when they could no longer
be concealed the bank suspended, and the
insurance company assigned a few DAYS
later. Hundreds Of people lost their all by
the ruin of the two ns.ituti rs, and when
the full truth of the manner in which the
crash was brought about was learned,
the greatest Indignation was ex-
pressed against the officers of the
companies Senator McFarlane disap-
peared and has never returned. Pfeiffer
and DUNCAN were arrested, charged with
receiving deposits after they knew the bank
was insolvent, and an indictment on that
charge is still pending against them. Since
that time an expert accountant has been at
work examining the books, and it was upon
discoveries made by him that the district
attorney issued the warrants for the arrest

WASHINGTON. Dec. l2.-The reapportiou-
meat bill, based on a representation OF 356
members Of the House Of Representatives
as originally proposed by Mr.. Frank OF
Missouri, has been favorably acted on by
the House committee on census.
The agreement to report the bill was
unanimous, although Messrs. Holman and
lfllman reserved the right to vote for a
different number than 35G. The only vote
taken was on motion made by Mr.. Holman
to fix the number at 1872, and it found no
second.
rILLMAN WANTS A LARGE BODY.
Mr. Tillman is In favor of a House COM
posed Of 800 or 600 members, and a Senate
OF six members from each state, and will
PROBABLY make speech in favor of his
views when TIE eapportionment bill comes
up. He made a strong speech in the COM
mittee when the matter was under discus
sion, and the members say his remarks will
certainly be interesting. The bill will be
brought up in the House at an early day.
Ii the claims Of New York city or Brooklyn,
with respect TO the census, should be favor
ably acted upon, the House will be In
creased by the necessary additional repre-
sentauon.

The remainder was 6l, ,90S, ,g06 With
this number the different ratios were
obtained by taking as divisor
any proposed number. Each number was
taken from 1872 to 875. Trials we're made
until a number was found that would give
ratio which in application would secure
each state against any loss In its member
ship, and in no instance leave major frac-
tion without representation. This number
was found to be $50 The ratio was 173 90l.
The number Of members obtained on even 7
division was 339.
MAKING UP THE NUMBER.
The additional II needed TO make 356 was
secured by giving another member TO each

Chairman Farquhar of the House shipping
committee. Representative Cannon, now
tat he is not reelected, has yielded in the
subsidy question. and the new Hou SO sub
sidy bill, which is a substitute for the

House next week and passed. The large
lobby which the steams zip companies de-
string this legislation have kept here ever
slice this congress began its first session has
been augmented CHS week by new lobbyists,
mostly men financially interested in the
companies, who have carefully seen every
man in the House who was opposed and
could be influenced, as well as those in doubt
Mr.. Cannon has of course had many visi
tors. He appears to have gotten tired of
standing up against subsidies, and to have
succumbed to the pressure The subsidy
people have the Senate all fixed, so that if
tne new bill gets through the House it will
soon be through the Senate and in the

LONDON, Dec. 13.-Walter Barttelot,
brother Of the late Maj. Barttelor, g-ites
to the Times: "All that Stanley said about
me Is untrue. 1t is also untrue that my
brother wrote me to prevent Troup divulg-
ing ANYTHING, or that Stanley or his officers
warned me not TO publish my brothers
diaries. Bonny told me some, not all, Of
the tales, but he at the same time told sto-
ries o the discredit of nearly every officer
Of the expedition, including Stanley The
latter's book and all subsequent accusations
are full of irreconcllable c0ntradic ions aud
inconsistencies, largely made up OF the
scourings Of the camp gossip"
Mr. Barttelot continues as follows: "Stan-
ley mas done this TO cover his own culpa-
bility." He encloses a letter from Lieut..
Baert testifying to Maj Barttelot's indomni-
table energy and courage Lieut.. Baert
says that he was on th3 spot, but nsver
hoard the accusations Stanley has made.
