ACCUSED OF FRAUD.
An Investment That Was Never Made
for Mrs. CeIIarius.

According to complaint filed yesterday
in the Superior Court Mrs. Eleanor CeilaTius
has to say that on the lst OF May. 1889, NJ.
=. Light received for her $1,000 from the
Order of Chosen Friends and Is days there
after paid her on account $3.50. lie urged
her then TO permit him to invest the re-
mainder in land in Suffer County.
She assented, and. being deprived Of the
use OF her legs and unable to walk except
with the use Of crutches, and even then only
with the greatest difficulty, she trusted him
with the money, never doubling bat that he
would make the purchase and bring her the
deed. In fact, she says that he did not buy
the lot. but converted the money TO his own
use. On frequent occasions thereafter she
sent for him and demanded the return Of
her money, but on every occasion lie replied
that he had none and neces sarily could not
refund any.
On the Goth of April, 1890. and being again
dunned Tor the money, he threw upon the
table in front Of her two prOmissOry notes
and left the house These notes are still
unpaid, and therefore she has sued him for
$3.50 and interest, that 1t be adiudged that
he was guilty of fraud in contracting the

and that execution be ordered issued against
his person.

altogether on whether they had their own
car or were compelled to use one manufac-
tured In this country. A special track will
have to be laid to the fair grounds and trans
portation building over which TO haul the
gun. A heavy foundation win also have to
be prepared on Which the gun can stand. In
speaking of the matter yesterday Lieutenant
Baker said:
"Our biggest guns are about IS feet in
length. The Krupp gun will be, think,
about 81 feet long. If it were fred on the
lake front the conclusion would be so
great that IL would shatter nearly all the
window-glasses In Chicago. 1t would carry
q ball from the lake front up over the
housetops Of EyanstOwn, distance of 10
or Is miles. Its initial velocity is $500 feet
per second"
The gun viii be shipped to America by a
special steamship and transferred to Chi

pecialiy for it.

Yesterday morning Colonel O'Byrne ap-
peared in Judge Joachimsen's court and
asked that rehearing in the case OF Maggie
