AROUND THE COUNTRY
INTERESTING INCIDENTS TAKEN
FROM THE WIRES.
The Order OF the Iron Hall Wreck and
the Head Man Skips.---De Fonseca,
of Brazil, IL Dead.
The Iron Hall Wreck.

Judge Taylor of the superior court
at Indianapolis, Ind, appointed James
Il. Faily, prominent capitalist of this
city, receiver for the Order of Iron
Hall. His bond was fixed at 81 900, 900
and he will have no trouble securing
bondsmen. The trial ended rather
abruptly. The counsel for the defense
wanted TO argue the case, but Judge
Taylor informed them that no amount
of argument could convince him that
IA receiver was not necessary for the
order. In all his twenty-five years
experience in the practise OF law he
says he never heard of an institution
where business affairs were so loosely
taken care Of The receiver will as
sumed charge at once.
Supreme Justice Somerby disap-
peared from indianapolis soon after the
receiver for the Iron Hall was APP
pointed and has not been seen since.
1t is believed he took carriage, drove
to Il suburb, whore he boarded train
for destination unknown to inter-
ested persons.
Somcrby undoubtedly feared arrest
and prosecution for Incorporating
the funds of the Iron Hall. That was
the only reason he could possibly have
had for leaving the city in SO mysteri-
Gus manner Arrest had been threat
ened, and Somerby hearing of the
threats evidently did not feel like run
ming the risk of remaining with the
prison staring him in the face. If the
plaintiffs in the late suit had refused
TO institute criminal proceedings
against him, it is possible Davis and
Walker would have done it. They are
very sore at Mr.. Somerby, Davis claim
ing he has done everything to blacken
his character, and he intimated last
evening that he might be the cause of
Somerby's arrest yet.

ozRrlE cARMo KILLED.
The Daring Lady Baiioonist Killed at the
Detroit ExpositIon.

Gertie Carmo, the petite blonde who
has won fame as the most daring fe-
male aeronaut of the country, will
make no more ascensions.
The Detroit Exposition management
had contracted with her TO make ascen-
sions during the week of the fair on
suitable days. The first day an at
tempt was made, but proved failure;
the second day was too wet; on the
third day the brave woman decided to
go up, let the consequences be what
they would. The afternoon was dis
NAL and light, soggy mist fell for
hours. At $3.50 the intrepid little
woman gave orders to initiate the vast
canvas bag and she prepared for the
dangerous journey.
1t was cloudy and dark, everything
seemed dismal and gloomy and the
wind blew hard as the crowd
of 5000 gathered around the
balloon during the preliminaries.
Miss Carmo stepped from her tent
dressed in a suit made after the fashion
of bathing costume, with black tights
underneath. The chief police officer on
the grounds tried to dissuade her from
the foolhardy attempt, but her mind
was made up and she would 90. A
life preserver was strapped about
her waist to aid her in case she
fell into the Detroit river. The great
bag filled with hot air was Juggling and
straining at its ropes when Miss Carmo
gave the command to ''Let it 60"
With bound the thing went up and
in an instant was caught by strong
wind.
The balloon was whirled away over
the tall building with great force. The
crowd saw the danger, for the now
helpless girl was being carried toward
the high central tower of the main
building with frightful force. Then
the crash came and it seemed that she
would be dashed TO pieces but with
great tenacity she chung TO the trapeze
bar and the great hulk of inflated can
vas rose again, but an instant later it's
passenger was seen to loose her grasp
and fall upon the green grass plot
in front of the building 1t was
drop of fully 300 feet
The spectators could scarcely realize
what had happened as the whole oc-
eurrence occupied no more than n min
ute, but the crowd soon gathered
around the poor form. Blood was flow
ing from her nostrils. After n few
gasps her spirit fed and the lifeless
body of a pretty, but willfnll, vain
glorious young lady was conveyed to
the hospital near by. The skull was
fractured, both arms broken, the right
thigh broken besides other injuries
Gertie Carno, or more properly Gertie
Claussen, was a native of Germany,
aged % years. She had been in this
line of daring work for about five years.
Her home was in Detroit with mar
ried sister. Miss Carmo took the place
of poor Jack Hogan who was killed at
the same grounds last year, when she
won a reputation for her great daring.

Dalton Gang Makes Another Haul.

James 3. Wilson, agent of the Kan
sas & Arkansas Valley railroad at No
wata, Indian Territory, was held up
and robbed at late hour by three
masked men supposed TO be member of
the Dalton gang. Wilson resigned a
few days ago intending To take trip
TO San Francisco. Travelling Auditor
Wright and Travelling Passenger Agent
Johnson arrived for the purpose of
checking up his books. They were en-
gagged in that work when the bandits
entered and covered them with revolv-
ers, at the same time commanding
them to throw up their hands. The
order was promptly obeyed. Wilson,
the retiring agent, was then compelled
TO open the safe. While two
others held Wright, Johnson and Wilson
at bay the third emptied the contents of
the safe into sack. About 800 in
cash was secured, one-third of it being
the personal property of Wilson's. After
relieving Wilson, johnson and Wright
of gold watch each and what money
they had in their pocket, the highway
men backed out of the door and disap-
peared in the darkness. AS soon as
the railroad men recovered from their
surprise they gave the alarm. and a
posse started in pursuit.

CAN CURE CHOLERA.
A New York Physician In Paris Claims
to Have "a Sure Remedy.


Medical men in New York city are
greatly interested in a new treatment
of cholera discovered at the Pasteur in
stitute in Paris, and in case the cpl
demic continues to spread the efficacy
of the treatment will be promptly and
thoroughly tested by New York eX-
perts. OF this treatment, which is
analogous TO that employed by Jenner
in smallpox and by Pasteur in hydro
phobia, DIR. Haffkine, who has been
studying at the Pasteur institute for
some years, claims To be the discoverer.
He is confident that the inoculatory
method will do for cholera what it has
already done for smallpox and hydro
phobia. He has used choleraic vaccine
upon several animals with the result
that none of them died, while those
animals subjected TO the virus and not
inoculated all died.
DR.. HafflSine also injected into him
self some attenuated virus of cholera,
and noted that the resultant symptoms
were a slight elevation of the tempera-
ture, pains in the head, dryncss in the
mouth and a swelling Of the skin and
ganglia at the spot where the inocula-
ton took place. There was scarcely
any intestinal arrangement and the
normal condition of health was
restored within "a hours. He next ex-
perimented upon himself with active
virus with the same results, and he con-
cluded that inoculations of this kind
could be made upon human beings
with perfect safety, and, with the
assurance that six days after the vac
cination the patient would be proof
against all attacks of cholera. The
process of injection is simple. The
vaccine is injected into each animal
twice, after which it is pronounced
cholera proof.

Rernlutionarr splrit in Buenos Ayres.

The New York Hearld correspon-
dent at Buenos Ayres says that city is
in state of wild excitement. Meet
ings were held in honor of President
elect Saenz Pena. There were some
1900 Radicals present. They inter
rupted the meeting by shouting for
Alem and Irgoyem, interspersed with
cries of down with Pena." A tumult
arose and there were several collisions.
The police attempted to dispense the
Radicals, and there was riotous dem-
onstration which almost reached the
dignity of battle in the Gale Florida.
The Radicals retreated to the plaza
San Martin, where they made another
stand and there was more hard fight
ing. The whole city is stirred up and
in all probability the troops will have
to be called out to preserve order.
