soMERBY STILL ABSENT.

He Has Had Time to Get to Indianapolis
but He Has NOT Been Heard From.
About the most interesting fact In con-
necton with the Iron Hall matter Is the
failure of Sreeman ID. Somerby. supreme
justice of the order. to make his appearance
in Indianapolis up to date. kilograms were
sent to him Friday afternoon early, ad-
dressed to New York and Philadelphia.
He would, of course, upon receipt, start
Immediately for Indianapolis. In that case
he would have arrived yesterday afternoon.
But be did not. though the other supreme
officers expected HIM every train.
Their kilograms remain unanswered and
they do not know just were he is. They
thought he would surely arrive on one of
the night trains after seeing the dispatches
sent to the evening papers on Friday. but
q rouna of the hotels after the last train
was in from the East, last night. failed to
chow his arrival.

Charges About the Withdrawal of Funds to

ing to BE Held Aug. 4.


Much Excitement Caused by the Appiica-
tion-UgIy Rumors Ahoat.
As might have been expected. the applI-
cation for q receiver for the Order OF the
Iron Hall has created q profound sensation
in insurance circles not only in Indiana,
but throughout the country. As it was
the pioneer of fratcrnal insurance concerns
OF the tontine basis. so il has done the
largest business of any of them. 1t has
been attacked before. in Massachusetts,.
Philadelphia and here. but never upon
such serious charges.
Yesterdays developments served TO dark
en- the cloud rather than TO tighten it up.
Nothing has been heard from Supreme jus
tice Somerby, and the officials here confess
that they do not know his whereabouts.
The supreme financial officers. the account
ant and cashier, through whose hands the
S3,000,000 per year income of the order is
supposed to pass. confess ignorance as TO
detailed figures about the orders
finances, and decline TO enlighten the
public. In the meantime there is wide
spread alarm among the members through
out the country, and while the majority
probably remain mistaken In their conf
dence, the home Office was yesterday
flooded with kilograms of inquiry and
anxious callers. At the Same time ugly
rumors are aaoat about the withdrawal
of deposits from Indianapolis banks
where they should be under the supervision
of Supreme Cashier DAVIS and their place
ment In the Philadelphia banking concern
in which Somerby Is interested, to tide ir
over losses sustained by the Key stone Bank

To CHEAT THE GALL0WS.
Jersey Lawyer. with Record for Saving
Mems NecSs. Working for Ii. Clay King.

JERSEY CITY, N. j.. July 30-Charles
PschaIi. the lawyer who has three times
saved murderer Edward w. Hallinaer from
the gallows, is taxing an interest In the
case of Col H. Clay King. who is under SEN
tence of death at Memphis for the murder
of Colonel Poston, the execution having
been set for Aug. IA. Mr.. Pschall sent him
the following telegram last night:
Apply to United States District Court. Nash-
Vile, for writ of habeas corpus. II denied. yonr
right of appeal is absolute. See case sun Wung,
29 Federal Reports, and case Jugiro, lao United
States Reports. Mail letter.
Mr. Pschall says that the visit of Colonel
Kings jury to the Arkansas shore makes
his trial u nuility. The jury crossed the
Mississippi river in charge OF constable
during the trial and touched on the other
side. Mr.. Pschall holds that the moment
the boat carrying tue jury passed within
the Arkansas boundary. the jury was law

Myths Of Ancient Mariners.

Sailors yarns have always been cele-
brated for their imaginative character.

tunity for favorable comparison with tho

Their tales presumably did much to
augment the fea~s of the sea which were
commonly entertained In those DAYS,
giving birth To many Of the myths of

inhabitated by lotos eaters, who fed upon
the fruit of forgetfulness and lost all

A Mnn,IrrfnI Kniilrr.

IL once knew an old unreconstructed
Confederate in Arkansas who had a
colony Of rattlesnakes that were trained
to play Dixie with their rattles to his
intense edifcation," said Colonel J. 5.
Evans. Of Meridian, Miss.
The man belonged to my regiment
during the war, and he had rattle
snake that followed him all through the
Louisiana campaign like faithful dog.
He didn't join the army until near the
close of the trouble. and he brought his
snake with him. When the reptile got
tired on the march her master would
coil her around his neck and trudge
along with his pet until camp was
struck. At night he put the snake in a
circle formed with hair rope. so as to
keep her from crawling around to the
dread Of other soldiers. During battle
that snake would dart in aud ont be-
tween the ranks of the fighting men un-
til she found her master, when she
would stick her tail straight into the air
and rattle off the first few bars of Dixie
with pronounced distinctness and the
most ecstatic delight Her master had
of course taught her to do it,
After the war he took his snake back
to the Arkansas farm, and IN little
while her progeny was wonderful When
went to see him fifteen years ago his
barnyard was given over TO rattlesnakes,
and on signal from him, by ringing a
bell, the reptiles would dash 10 the cen.
ter Of the yard. and the clang of Dixie
that the swift movements of their tails
produced was a deafening as it was in
