BANKERS IN HOOK.
Kansas City High-FIyers Arrested
for Grand Larceny


. KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Dec. Warrants
for the arrest of George S. Toulmin,
president of the suspended Continental
Trust company, and Horace s. Lynn,
vice president and treasurer OF the same
institution, were issued this afternoon
on complaint of Co-Prosecutor Marcy
h. Brown. They are charged with the
crime of grand larceny by receiving a
deposit of s73S while they knew that
their company was in an insolvent con-
! dltion. The appralsement of the banks
assets shows that the chief debtors of
the bank at the time Of its failure were
Directors Lynn, Toulmin and Hoff-
man. Their Indebtedness, as evil
denced by their notes, amount
ed to almost the full amount of
the deposits, which were about
S115,000. Since the assignment both
. Toulmin and Lynn have decided prop
erty to Assignee Young, as further Sc
curing of their debts. The property
turned in by Toulmin is said to be
heavily encountered, and that turned in
by Lynn is stated to be of small value.
The appraisers were John w. Byers
and James Il. Chandler. Their appraise-
ment is somewhat surprising, in view
OF the fact that depositorS have received
only 5 per cent of their deposits. 1t
places total valuation on the assets of
Sl15,2S The notes, among which are
Toulmin's, Lynn's and Hoffman's, are
appraised at 500. 1874. OVerdrafts at So

A Royal Marriage,

LONDON, Dec. 5.-A dispatch to the
Standard from Vienna says the marriage
OF Princess Elizabeth and Baron Bieg-
fried Battenheim took place in the
presence of their respective families.
The princess and the baron met at a
court ball In Munich and fell in love
with each other at first sight. In spite
of all the entreatieS of her rela-
tiyes. the princess refused to
give him up. although Prince Regent
Luitpold was decidedly opposed to the
alliance. and in order to break the
match he removed Baron Siegfreid Bat
tenheim, who is lieutenant in the Ba-
yarian army, from Munich to Metz.
Finally, Emperor Francis Joseph, who
is the grandfather of the princess on the
maternal side, interceded in her behalf
with the prince regent, who at last gave
reluctant consent to the match.

Aid. Swartz Says That of North
Minneapolis People.
City Engineer Cappelen submitted a
report to the water works committee
yesterday afternoon in regard to the
East side pumping station, which has
been useless ever since the building of
the stone dam began which cut off the
water supply. In order to get water
now it will be necessary to construct a
pen-stock to reach to the river. The
power house also needs attention. The
entire work will cost about $4,000. The
report, and instructed him to proceed
with the work and put the pumping
station in good running order.
The committee voted to award the
contract for putting in steel intake pipe
at the North side pumping station to j.
j. and r. E. Gleason, who bid the low est
sum, viz, $500.
Aid. Flanders and Miner petitioned
the committee to provide public Skat-
ing rink between Thirty-hrst and
Thirty-second streets, east of Aldrich
avenue. Aid. Bradish suggested that
the committee should act in conjunction
with the park board in the matter of
providing skating facilities, but Aid.
Swartz said that he didn't believe in
acting in conjunction with the park
board in any matter. He had no use for
the park board, and he could say that
the people OF North Minneapolis did
not feel bad over the resignation of
President G. NJ. Loring asked after the
meeting why was this so. Aid. Schwartz
said that Mr.. Loring, while president of
the park board, had discrimin ated
against North Minneapolis in the matter
of improving the park there, and had
opposed the improvement of Lyndale
avenue, from Twentieth to Twenty
ninth avenue north, which is not fit to
drive over.
In reference to the skating, the COM
mittee VIII recommend that two public
parks be established in each ward, un-
der the supervision of the alderman of
the ward and the supervisor of water
works.
The ACCESSIBILITY of dispensing with
the timekeeper during the winter was
discussed, but action was postponed.
1t Is not likely any change will be made

JURY SECURED.
The Coughlin Trial VIII Now
Proceed

CHICAGO, Dec. Sat the instance of
the defense. Juror Taylor was dismissed
by Judge Tuthill at the opening of the
Coughlin trial today. The court in dis
missing the juror said that there was
nothing against Taylor's character, but
that he had made mistakes in his exam
ination as venireman which necessi-
tated the dismissal. This for the third
time left the jury incomplete, and prep
arations to secure another juror were
at once made. With unexpectedly little
delay a twelfth juror was secured.
Hiram Wadleigh is the name of the
man who took Juror Taylor's place.
Wadleigh is a river boatman. After
the jury was sworn in Judge Wing, for
the defense, stated that he would try
to prove the evidence of Mrs. Andrew
FoY Incompetent, and asked that the
state be instructed to omit all mention
OF her expected testimony in its OPEN
ing speech. Mrs. Foy is the woman
who, it is said, claims that her husband
was one of the conspirators. and is re-
ported to have learned much from him
in his moments of remorSe regarding the
case. The court took the matter under
aQViS6tnenI.
1t was reported this afternoon that
Rev. Father Seaman, of the Roman
Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Name,
would be placed on the stand by the
state to testify as to statement made to
him by O'Sulliyan at the Joliet peniten-
tiary few weeks before O'Sullivan's
death. The relationship of priest and
confeSsor does not enter into this state
ment, because Father Seaman did not
visit O'Sullivan as minister of the
gospel, but as chance visitor, and
therefore the statement does not come
within the line of privileged communi-
cations.
In this confession, 1t is alleged, O'Sul-
Ivan assured Father Scanlan that he
had no actual part in the killing; that
his understanding was that DR.. Cronin
was to be kept prisoner in the Carlson
cottage until he should consent to give
up certain papers which it was believed
he had.
Father Scanlan this evening said that
as priest of the parish in which the
county Jail is located he had visited Ice
man OSullivan and the other prisoners,
but that he would not have received
from the iceman or any of the suspects
statemento of any crime except in his
official capacity as confessor. A COLI
feSSlo from any one, the priest added,
would not be revealed under any cir
cumStanceS whatever.

Judge Jamison charged the jury. He
called special attention to violations of
the gambling and liquor laws, and in
structed the jury that it was their duty
to investigate these alleged evils. Judge
JamiSon also called attention to the
houses of ill-fame and designation, Sug-
costing that reform might. be effected in
that direction. The remainder of the
charge was of the usual character de-
livered 10 grand juries.
1t is believed that the grand jury will

western Guaranty Loan company and
other insolvent institutions where the

indictments of prominent local finan-
clerS are confidently expected.

IounueQ tier HEAD Into q Jelly
and Cut His Throat.
OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 5.-Martin An
derson. cellar clerk at the grocery house
of Helmrod & Hanson, murdered an
unknown woman in the cellar of the
store this evening. and then cut his
throat fatally. Nothing is known of
the causes for the tragedy. Anderson
was seen leaving the store at o'clock,
when the place was locked up. He had
no key. and so forced his way in from
the rear. About o'clock passers-by
heard woman scream, "Help. help;
my God, he's killing me-" These sounds
came from the cellar. AS soon as pos
sible the police obtained an entrance.
Anderson had used paving stone. and
literally pounded the head of the victim
to jelly. There were signs of an
awful struggle. The dead woman was
apparently about thirty years old, and
almost Anderson's equal physically, so
she was able to make desperate fight
for life. After he had finished his work
of murder, Anderson took dull pocket
knife and haggled CHASTITY hole in his
neck. He sawed and pried wifi the
dull blade until he severed both the
windpipe and the carotid artery. He
died from loss of blood. Anderson was
unmarried, and bore good name with
the firm for which he worked.

-FOUR Men Closed in and Death
Is Certain.
HAZLEPoRT, Pa. Dec. 5.-A fierce
fire broke out in the Crystal Ridge
slope, operated by Pardee & Co., stu
ated about mile west of this city.
Four men are closed IN, and rescuing
parties are working hard to lib
crate them and bring them to the sur
face. This is the same slope in which
fire broke out last spring and did COIL
siderable damage to the mine, and it
has only been in operation again for
short time. How the fire originated
this time is mystery. The flames
are shooting out of the mouth
of the slope and leaping high in
the air, threatening the destruction of a
fine breaker which has recently been
built. and the only thing that saves it
now is the great amount of snow on the
trestle work leading to it. Hundreds of
men set to work pillng up snow on
the woodwork, but fearing that this
would not save it, sent to this
city for fire engine and
the pioneer fire company responded
promptly, and are now doing good work
in trying to save the property. There
is little hope of saving the slope, and
the timbers of that opening must soon
fall. A cave-in is bound to follow, and
the destruction of the property seems
inevitable. No estimate of damage can
be made at this writing, but it will eX-
coed 100000 if not under control before
spreading to the inner workings.

Gov. Nelson Will Not Take Any
Chances That Will in Any Way

Party-A Bit Of History in Con-
nection With the Duluth Dis
trict Recalled.
eff the governor appoints any one
outside of his own party remarked a
we'll known Democrat yesterday. Ito
succeed Judge CAVITY, 1 shall be both
surprised and disappointed"
"Why, it would just suit Judges
Jamison, Russell and Hicks to have
Democrat appointed, for any kind of
deal would be acceptable thai will
insure their Endorsement before
the next conventions. You see, even
his associates would sacrifice him If
deal could be arranged, although Hicks
stands particularly strong in Wright
and some other counties, where he has
the Grand Army backing. AS for Gov.
Nelson. he will not promise anything
that will hamper or in any way have
tendency to hurt the chances of his
party. His record is clear on this score,
as shown by his action in the Duluth
district. When the legislature was in
session a year ago. the Republicans
wanted the bill adding another judge
to that district passed, and they wanted
it bad. But both the Democrats and the
Populists Smelt a mouse. and they
refused to vote for the measure. Finally
Gov Nelson promised to appoint Dem
ocrat if the bill became law. and Oh
these assurances Invent through. Well,
the result is known, and when it came
to making the appointment the plum
was grabbed by the grand old party.
But this is only all instance;
but history repeats itself, and
as matter of fact the Republicans
want everything in sight If they had
their way tine Democrats would be left
SO badly in the cold that they would not
have pillow to lay their heads upon.
In the meantime the friends of Messrs.
Davenport, Mahoney and Brooks are
making fair and honorable contest for
their candidates, and if Gov. Nelson
really wants to tote fair, all pledges
aside, he could not offer a more graceful
compliment than what would rest in the
appointment of one of the aboye-named
gentlemen.
