EXHAUSTING THE FUND.
Claims Allowed for Errors In h
Sewer Assessment.

Claims Allowed Tor ErrOrs HI the
Sewer Assessment.
Yesterday the Board of Works allowed
rebates to property owners on overcharge
for sewer work, as follows: l.. +. Hyde,
$3.50; A. VI. Houck, $3.50; 1. Roberts, $685.;
w. w. Sickles, $3.50; A. SeidensticIer,
1880; H. l.. Whitehead, s11.6s; Fahnley &
McCrea, $3.50; W.. S. Fish, $685.. These are
the amounts paid by these people several
years ago for a local sewer in the first al
ley east Of East street, and now they are
assessed for the larger sewer which has
been built in East street. The old Board
of Works agreed to allow a rebate for these
amounts, but did not have the money TO
pay the claims, and now the present board
is fulfilling it's predecessors promises. The
building of the new sewer in East street
destroyed an old one, and the property
owners along that street have been allowed
$500 as a rebate on that account. Caro-
line Frank was assessed by the old adj
mlnistration $3.50 for the Improvement in
front of a ten foot alley abutting on Fetch
er avenue. The board yesterday allowed
her claim for that amount. w. II. Corba-
ley was allowed s17.52 and William A.
Guthrie $.34 on account of errors in the as
Illinois street. These claims, and S4l0.20 al
street sewer rebate claim, have almost con-
sumed the appropriation Of $1,000 recently
made for erroneous assessment fund, and
still the claims that have been filed have
not all been investigated, and more are be-
filed constantly.

CHARGED WITH A
Harry Butler Bound Over to the Grand
Jury.

The case OF fornication against Harry

Butler No. 2. as she claims to be. was
also there and Butler was brought in to
face them before Superintendent Powell.
Butler persisted that he was guilty of
the charge OF fornication but not OF bigamy.
Mrs. Butler No. 2, however, remained just
as emphatic in her accusations. Mrs. But
Ter No. I became greatly enraged at her
husbands unmindful air and broke out In
a torrent of abuse against him. She said
that she had in her possession a number
of letters that showed that Butler had a
weak spot toward the gentler sex. Butler

Benton County Woman Who shot Her

Nellie c. Payne, who is serving a four
years term at the woman's prison, having
been convicted and sentenced a year ago,
IN the Benton Circuit Court, for shooting
her husband. James w. Payne. a Fowler
merchant. with intent toskill. has appealed
TO the Supreme Court for a new trial. The
papers were fled yesterday. and assert that
the lover court erred In refusing to quash
the four counts Of the indictment, in over
ruling the motion for a change of venue.
as well as the motion for a new trial. The
case created a great sensation at the time
OF the trial at Fowler. Benton county, last
April Payne had a policy on his life made
payable TO his wife, and charged that the
motive OF her crime was TO secure the
CURED on the night of Feb. IL last year,
Payne awakening from a sound sleep and
finding his night clothing in flames, at the
same time hearing the report OF what he
said sounded like a bunch of frecrackerS.
A few moments afterwards he discovered
hat he had been wounded and at first
thought il was only a flesh wound. II proved
more serious, however, and he still suffers
from the effects OF the shooting. His wife
told him there were burglars in the house,
but no traces of them were to be found.
Subsequent developments were such as TO
lead him to prosecute his wife for attempt
ed murder. Their married life was not alto
gether a smooth one, and Payne made other
charges against his wife in the course of
the trial which followed. She asserted her
innocence, and claimed that her husband
was prosecuting her because of jealousy.

THE LAW AND THE LL0YDS.
Smiths Opinion on
Insurance Matters.

The Encouragement has rendered an
opinion regarding the application Of the In
diana law to insurance companies doing
business In this State under the Lloyds'
plan as individual underwriters. Auditor
Henderson requested such an opinion and
in reply Attorney-general Smith quotes the
law, saying that any agent or agents OF
any insurance company Incorporated by
any other State than Indiana must. before
transacting insurance business in this
State, secure a certificate of authority
from the Auditor of State, TO obtain which
a statement signed under. oath by the pres
ident and secretary of such company must
be furnished the Auditor.
s"The purpose of this law" says the At
orney-general SIS, first. to authorize the
doing of insurance business within the
State by foreign companies, and. second,
to subject. the business SO done to certain
the State, then ii must follow that only
foreign incorporated companies are re-
stricted and subject to the authority of
incorporated companies are authorized
to do business at all under this act. But
the clear intent OF the lawmaking power,
tween individuals, companies, nrms, cOrpOr-
ations or associations and to discriminate
ated by other States, but TO cover the sub
ject of insurance when conducted by any
foreign representative or concern whether
il came as an individual, partnership or
corporation.
From the information before me. the
Lloyds seem to be an association or 1ndl-
viduals who seek TO carry on the business
ordinarily conducted by joint stock COM
panies. The State tax must fall alike upon
all, and its regulations be observed by ev-
cry interest alike. One of the principal OBJ
jects Of the statute is TO protect the people
against imposition, and one of the SureSt'
evidences of a bogus or fraudulent enter
prise is its unwillingness to submit 10 the
fullest Investigation of the State authorl-
ties; for, If stability and safe business
principles characterized its methods. IL
would promptly embrace the opportunity
to inspire the public with confidence
the nature of a quo warranto proceeding,
and In my opinion applicable to the facts
stated to you. affords ample remedy 10 pre-
vent any such associations or their agents
from exercising the rights and privileges
conferred upon insurance companies, until
such case made and provided"

The recent statement OF Rev. ID. r. Lucas
It appears. has stirred up the students OF
Butler University. DR.. Lucas Is credited, in
an interview. with the remark: "When these
young men go from Garvin's classes they
go put imbued with these hobbies and
preach them to the creating OF dissensions
in the churches" A number of the students
of the university. taking exceptions TO this
sta teDnent, called on the minister yesterday,
and, it is claimed, requested him to point
out a specific case Of dissension in one of
their churches. They claim that DIR. Lucas
modified the statement somewhat, and said
that he had not personally known of such
a case. but refused 10 sign a statement pre-
pared by the students to that effect. The
students insist that the object of their con-
ference with DIR. Lucas was not to defend

Secretary Metcalf. of the State Board of
Health. has submitted the following to that
body: 'Since my last report of smallpox
there have developed the following:
Twelve cases in Fulton county, four in
Marshall county. two in Pulaski county
and one in Wayne county.
"Of the cases eighteen are in country
districts, and are the result OF exposure to
a case the true nature of which was not
known until after death and burial. The
source OF this first case is probably from
infected clothing shipped from Chicago.
The case In Wayne county is in the city
of Richmond. and is In the person of True
Wrinkle, who nursed his brother in Chi

Precautions taken: isolation, vaccination
and disinfection. The danger OF the dis
ease spreading is great, as a large number
have been exposed during the sickness and
burial of the first case. The situation In
this city remains the same. No new cases"
The Kewanna mistake Is the one which
caused the trouble in the country districts,
and the doctor who diagnosed a case of
smallpox as measles is to blame.

ATTEMPTED MURDER.
A Strange Visitation in Church
 iIl'S Addition.
ALady AWakens in the Midst of An Attempt, By Mysterious Visit
 ors to StrangIe Her.

4 mysterious, u2sLlcessfdl and pre- sumable attempt at murder was made in Churchili's Addition on Friday night. Mrs. M. Lowrey who lives wi tn her two children on North Fourth street near Fillmore was the intended victim.
 She went to bed soon after o'clock, and half an hour later wes awakened by a sense of asphyxiation. Half awake she detected the pungent odor of chloro- form and the next instant the hand Of 6 man, into which had been poured 8 part of the contents of vial of the an- aesthetic was clapped upon her mouth and nose, With the other he grasped her by the throat. In spite of the strangling and the pressure she succeed ed in screaming and alarming her neighbors in sn adjoining house. Her assailant released her and escaped by the front door, overturning in his flight a parlor lamp and center table.
 The hour was so early that few per sons in the vicinity had gone to bed So that the quiet neighborhood was soon in state Of commotion. The foo otsteps of the intruder as he ran from the house in q northerly di- rection had been heard and one of the neighbors had caught glimpse of him, but it was so uncertain that it afforded no description. Mrs. Lowrey her self is unable to give one. There was a lighted lamp in the room, but it VAS turned so low that ob- jects were only disjinguishable in outline, but unrecognizable. The sudden awakening and consequent excitement also prevented her from taking advantage of the partial light. She gained an idea though that the strange visitor was rather under size and she remembers with distinct ness that his hands seemed soft as velvet.
 There was found afterward Q two ounce bottle containing about 8 drachm of chloroform. The label it bore was Lunds and hsd not been soiled from which circEm- stance it was supposed that it had been recently purchased. The visitor had entered by a front door through a screen porch, the door of which had been fastened by hasp. The hasp had been raised by crooked wire.
 A false or duplicate key had unlocked the front door. No attempt had been made at robbery and no clue has been found or suggested which will likely lead to the detection of the perpetrator of the outrage. The chloroform bottle was returned to the drug store that night but MT. Lund said that none had been sold by him recently or so far as he could remember within a week. He believed that the last person to whom he had sold any was boy.

was. He was hunting ducks in a series of lagoons along the Gulf of California
 A myriad of birds had settled in one locality and Mr. Kellum, concealing himself in an embrasure of floating brush, worked his way among them. He unostentaiiously gathered them in one by one tying them to strong belt which he wore. This was just the sea- son of the year when the ducks were getting ready to migrate north.
 They started right away and took Kellum with them. No stop was made for wood or water until they reached Kamschatka, when the flock settled in the sea ten miles from shore. Kellum was drowned and the north pole was permitted to continue looming up in the center of Arctic solitude.

Murder Probably Added to a Seducer's Crime.
Sensational Disappearance of a
 Woman of Santa Cruz, Cal.
The Man in the Case the Son of a San Francisco Millionaire
 Manufacturer.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SANTA CRUZ, Cal, Dec. 22.-Ths rels- atives of Mrs Robert H. Majors, widow and mother of seven children, believe she has forever disappeared. Mrs. Majors recently brought suit for breach of promise against Harry Cowell, son of Henry A. Cowell, the millionaire lime merchant of San Fran cisco and who has kilns here of which the son was superintendent.
 Mrs. Majors swore that Harry Cowell was intimate with her and that child was the result. On account of the ina bility to serve summons on young Cowell, who went to Washington, the case was transferred to the United States circuit court.
 Sometime ago Mrs. Majors WAS visited by man named Patterson who repre- sented himself to be private detective from San Francisco and whom Mrs. Majors said was looking after her affairs. Mrs. Majors mortgaged her property for $500 aud gave the sleuth $40 of it, and then left town to go to San Francisco to look after her affairs.
 This was 8 month ago and since then her relatives have had no word from her and foul play Is suspected.
