Made n had Mess
Alderman Ball was seen last evening
at his home on College avenue. He
said: Il do not care 10 be quoted in
this matter. There is no doubt but Mr.
Jacobs has made bad mess OF this mat
ter. When Mayor Stuart called me into
the committee room Monday night
had not the faintest idea Of what was
coming. He asked Jacobs what he paid
Wagner. and MIR. Jacobs replied sL50 a
day. The mayor then questioned him
regarding each item OF the bib and MIR.
jacobs answers conceded with the bill
exactly. Mayor Stuart then told Mr.
Jacobs what he had learned from Mr..
Wagner. Mr.. JACOBS denied Ii all and
said he had the receipts and documents
at home to prove that MIR. Wagner was

HoRsEWHlPPED THE PASTOR.
He Had Reproved the Young Men for
Talking in Church.

Winamac, Ind, October 31.-People
here were shocked yesterday to see Rev.
J Orten Presbyterian minister of this
city, publicly horsewhipped. At Sunday
nights services Merl Moss and John
Thompson, aged IS and 10 respectively,
were laughing and talking during the
service. Mr.. Orten called them by name
three different times, and finally ordered
them to leave the church. Yesterday
when Mr.. Orten went to the post office
for his mail, the boys were there and
Moss began to whip him with large
blacksnake whip. Seeing his peril. the
minister started to run down Main
street, and at every step for block and a
half he was cut with the long lash. Moss
and Thompson, who are sons of promi-
nent citizens, were arrested.

THE EMPERoR's OFFICERS.
william Is Disposed to Overhaul Their
Gambling Debts.

Berlin, October 31.-Emperor William
is very much in earnest in his determine
ton to suppress gambling in the army.
The revelations in the great gambling
case now on trial in Hanover have opened
his eyes to the fact that little attention
was paid to the imperial rescript issued
some time ago on the subject of gamb-
ling by army officers, and the results are
likely to prove disastrous to a number of
officers who did not heed the Emperor's s
warning. AS has been stated before, a
large number of officers in all branches
of the service, but more especially in the
cavalry branch, are implicated in the
Hanover scandal. The Emperor has or
dered that strict inquiry be made into
the debts of these officers and their abili-
ty to pay the obligations they have con-
tracted. His Majesty has lalso ordered
that the inquiry be not confined to these
officers alone, but that it extend in like
manner to every officer who has been
mixed up in other gambling affairs. AS
a result of this action, it is expected that
many officers will throw up their com
missions. Those who do not resign and
are found to be insolvent through gam
bling debts, and it is believed that there
are many such, will, it is thought, be de-
graded in rank.

The Remains of Chicago's Murdered May
or Taken to the City Hall.

Chicago, October 31.-After simple
religious services at the Harrison resi-
dence the remains of the late Mayor
were removed to the City Hall today.
The Boulevard, not only in front of the
residence but for a block or more on
either side, was packed with people and
heads were reverentially barred as the
solemn possession passed through the
gates. The cortege moved slowly down
the Boulevard to Jackson street and
thence by a circuitous loute to the La
Sale street entrance of the City Hall.
Fully 10000 people had gathered
around the municipal building by the
time the hearse arrived, and it was with
some difficulty that passage was made
through the dense crowd. The members
Of the City Council were in waiting at

and the mainmast and foremast were
cut away. The vessel partly righted and
the sailors spent forty-eight hours on the
forecastle head, exposed to the cold and
weather.
At daylight on the Oath the Victoria
was spoken. The steamship lowered a
boat, and the officer in command told
the crew of the bark to jump into the
boat. A score or more of hungry look
ing sharks had been around the vessel
for several days, waiting for the crew to
drop into the sea from the rigging, and
the sailors announced that they would
take their chances On the rigging rather
than jump. There were seven or eight of
the huge monsters of the sea in sight all
the time. The crew at last made sue
cessful attempt to launch their own
boat, which would hold only six of
them, and, whilessthe boat of the steamer
stood by to battle with the sharks, if
necessary, the bark's little boat went to
and fro until all were conveyed to the

Finances of the Fair.

Chicago, October 31.-With grand to-
tai of 21,477,212 paid admissions, the
Worlds Fair was officially closed last
night. Though these figures represent
the paid admissions during the time al
lowed by Congress in which. the exposi-
ton should be kept open, yet 1t is calcu-
lated that at least over one million tick
cts will yet be purchased before the
White City is dismantled and leveled to
the ground. The total number of ad-
missions or passes was 2,052, 1SS. After
every debt of the Worlds Fair has been
paid, there will remain at least 81 ZOO, 900
and perhaps more to be distributed
among the stockholders.
Treasurer Seeberger made this an
nouncement yesterday afternoon. Since
its organization to yesterday morning,
the Exposition Company has paid out
$50, ,55S, $40, OF three times the amount
the managers expected to spend when
they commenced building the fair. The
gate receipts during the exposition prop
er were little over $4,000, 900. To yes.
terday, $3.300,000 had been collected
from conce ssionaires by Mr.. Blackman'
department, and nearly 100000 were
paid before he took hold.
