GANG THAT STEALS TYPEWRITERS.
A.. II. Zefgler, of Chicago. Alleged to
BE I'm the Scheme.

A. r. Zeigler was arrested yesterday
upon information from the police depart
ment of Chicago and slated as a fugitive.
Patrolnan Corrigan made the arrest upon
orders of Superintendent Powell. Zeig,er
came here about three weeks ago, bringing
with him a typewriting machine, which he
has since pawned. Detectives for the
Remington Typewriting Machine Company
have u~nearthed, so 1t Is alleged, a gang
OF sharks with headquarters in Chicago,
who have been stealing machines from the
company. The latter rents them out. and
the gang has made a business Of renting
machines and then shipping them to some
other point for sale In this way the COM
pany has lost a score of machines. Zeigier,
1t is claimed, Is in some way interested in
the scheme. He is the same young man
who some time ago asked Superintendent
Powell to arrest a medical student who
was paying attention TO his wife. The
student and the wife were detained for a
time at the headquarters, but as there was
no charge which could be placed against
them. they were released. Zeigler gained
considerable notoriety at the time OF the af-
fair.

CIRCUIT COURT WILL DECIDE.
County Commissioner Ignore Wayne
Township Election Frauds.

The County Commissioners yesterday de-
cided the Wayne township election contest
against John Golf. the Republican candi-
date for trustee. This is the case in which
the legality Of the pauper vote was brought
into question. f. Marion Clark, the DEM
ocratic candidate for trustee, was elected
by four votes over John Golf, the Repub-
lican candidate. Through attorneys Hovey
& Harding the defeated candidate began
an action before the County Commissioners
to set aside the election of Clark. alleging
that forty illegal votes had been cast by
the inmates of the poor farm and contend
ing that the inmates of an almshouse were
not competent TO vote. Attorney McCul-
Tough, representing Clark, filed an answer
setting out that forty illegal votes had been
cast in each precinct of Wayne township.
When the case came up before the COM
missioners yesterday, r. NJ. Boon. steward
at the poor farm, was called. He was clerk
OF the election board at the poor farm vot-
torneys how many of the inmates voted
the Republican ticket. He was not per-
Cuilough contending that the statutes pro-
hibited the clerk of an election board re-
vealing the manner in which an elector
point at length. He thought that the pro-
vision of the election law prohibiting clerks
divulging the nature of ballots cast was
not to protect them in case of a judicial
inquiry, but was for the purpose of pre-
venting frauds. To maintain that the clerk
was to be prohibited eternally from dis
closing the secrets of the booth, Mr.. Hovey
thought was a perversion of justice. He
held that under the established rules and
precedents the electors in question were
illegal voters. Mr.. Hovey said that he did
not believe Golf had received any illegal
possible to show tina a number of illegal
ballots had been cast for Clark in other
precincts. Mr.. McCullough's argument oc-
mi m hOIr nffar hi0 rho GOmm1S
sioners advised together for a few min
utes. At the close of the consultation they
declined to take any action in the case.
Attorney Hovey announced that he would
carry the contest into the Circuit Court.

STATE CAMPAIGN In 1896.
Chairman Everett, of Allen County,
ON the GubernatOrial Honor.

c. e. Everett, chairman of the Allen
county Republican committee. is in town
on political business connected with the
campaign of 1886. He said last night that
the Republicans of Allen county, who have
been voting the ticket so many years with
out success in local affairs, could not in
many instances be made to believe that
success was possible in the last campaign,
and nearly seven hundred of them did not
take the trouble to set business aside and
vote. If they had done so two of the
county ticket might have been elected.
AS 1t was the Democratic plurality was
reduced over four thousand.
ALLEN county will go, Republican next
time, however, he said, "and we have
begun to organize for the election of that
year. We mean to show the party in the
State that Allen county can be carried for
the Republican county ticket. We want
the LEGISLATURE to make a record that will
help us convert the county. Our organiza-
ton was very complete In the last cam
paign, and every week, as chairman, I
heard reports from over nine hundred
working Republicans"

Shoe and Leather Bank Stockholders
Will Make Good the Deficit.

NEW YORK. Nov. 27.-The directors of
the swindIed National Shoe and Leather
Bank have made an assessment of q per
cent. against the stock to make good book
keeper Seeley's defalcation. Cashier Van
Week announced to-day that the deficit In

President Crane says that the banks coun-
sci will endeavor to restrain the insurance
companies In which Baker held policies
from paying to Bakers heirs money on
any policy not made payable to Bakers
widow. This Is done because of the laws
preventing contests of policies made in
favor of the relicts OF the policy purchas-
ers. 1t Is also understood that counsel of
the bank Is making a careful search for
property owned by Baker with a view of
beginning action against the heirs.
Vice President Pease, Receiving Teller
Lapman and Bookkeeper Peeram went TO
Sands Point to-day to view the body OF
Baker. Their object is to verify the identi-
fcation Of the dead man as a depositor OF
the bank. Mr.. Pease, who. yesterday. de-
clared that he was not sure he could iden-
tify Baker, has since said that he knew
him when both attended Henry Ward
Beecher's Church. However, he had come
very little In contact with lake OF late
years.

lever Trick by a Muncie Prisoner In
Making His Escape.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. :
MUNCIE, Ind, Nov. 2.-Jack Young. O.
Jail inmate, employed in the city work
house, escaped to-day in a rather novel and
original manner. Sheriff Sherry has a good
sized water spaniel named Jack that does
duty as a watchdog over the prisoners and
has more than once caught one of the gang
attempting to escape. The dog is kept
close to the kho laborers and little
attention is paid to them by Superintendent
Franklin when the spaniel is around. At
noon to-day Young had the nerve to make
a dash for liberty. Jack was sent after
him, but as the dog approached Young
played a clever trick and completely fooled
the dog. By clapping his hands and calling
TO the dog to ''sick him. Jack was de-
ceived and ran on past Young as if the
prisoner wanted was on ahead. Soon the
dog turned a corner and freed a farmer
walking along the street with his team.
The farmer turned on the dog with his
long whip. and, while they were fighting
1t out, the prisoner made good his escape.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Nov. E.-The county
seat war that for the last twenty-five years
has been waged in Jackson county, south
Of here. is taking Jill new life. Men have
grown old in politics and died since this
scheme was first contemplated, but dur
ing the last twenty-five years 1t has been
revived with the meeting of each Legisia-
ture, only 10 meet defeat because of fac
tional fights among the Democratic poll
ticians. Now a new feature presents itself
and the fight is on Will more ferceness
than ever before. Republicans are in power
and the workers for the change are more
hopeful than ever. Congressman Jason
Brown. who is soon to have ex prefixed
to his narle, is in the fight. as he asserts,
to a finish. He has spent one day here
in conference with Hon. c. F. Remy, Rep
resentative-elect from this county, and it is
understood that he has received much en-
enlargement from him, as we'll as from
others who will occupy seats in the next
General Assembly.
Seymour is located on the east side of
Jackson county, on the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore & Ohio southwestern railroads,
and has a population of 5,3S7, while Browns
town. the present county seat. is eleven
miles southwest of 1t, has only one railroad
and a population Of 49,. In former fights
thousands of dollars have been spent on
both sides, and the coming one promises
to be no exception. Because Of contem-
plated changes of the county seat the
County Commissioners have avoided the ex-
penditures of money for a costly court
house. and the county Jail is a rudely con-
structed one.
Parties are also at work now arranging
DfanS to revive the old cOunty seat war In
Jennings that for years has been on be-
tween the towns of Vernon and North Yer
non, which are only two miles apart, and
which are now connected by a street rail-
way. T coming Legislature cannot hope
to avoid a wrestle with these county-seat
fights.
