A QUESTION OF INTEREST.
eueer Case Now Before n Cook
County Court


County Court.
Chicago, July 2S.-It has been the Gus
tom of the courts in Cook county for
years that whenever money is in dispute
the money should be left in the hands
OF the clerk of the court pending the set
tiement of the question. In this way
since a large amount of disputed money
Is never called for by the successful liti-
giants there has accumulated IN the hands
OF the clerks of courts a sum of over
S2Oo,100. This sum is regarded as a trust
fund by the clerks and they regularly
draw interest on it, and when their term
of office expires turn it over to their
successors. There are cases on record
where more than $50, 600 in one lump has
been placed in the hands of the clerks of
the court and never been called for after
ward.
In 1889 an action arose between the
Pullman company and the Baltimore &
OHIO railroad and other companies as to
the ownership of $50, 600. According to the
usual custom this amount was turned
INTO the city court and placed in charge
Of Circuit Clerk Best. In 1891 the attor-
neys stipulated that the sum should be
placed in the bank ans draw 21a per cent.
interest. An order was entered thereupon
by Judge Horton to this effect and filed
with the minute clerk of the court. The
case has just been settled by the supreme
court and now it is discovered that Cir
cult Court Clerk Frank Gaulter has no
certificate of deposit, nor did he or his
predecessor, Mr.. Best. know anything
about the order requiring the deposit to
be made. In the meantime the money,
with all others in custody of the clerk,
has been on deposit drawing interest.
The interested parties now claim that the
circuit court clerk is liable for the 2h
per cent. interest on the money. The at
torney for one of the compliments has
raised the point that it is no part of
Mr.. Gaulter'S duty to act as custodian
of such funds and that If he did do so,
it was merely in personal and not an
official capacity and he is entitled to
compensation for his services.

ARMOR FOR THE INDIANA.
Successful Test at Indian Head Prov
ing Ground.

ing OrouE1.
Philadelphia, July 2S.-The successful
test at the Indian Head proving
grounds Of the big 1S-inch armor plate
selected from a group made at Bethle-
EN-, Pa, for the bell of the battleship
Indiana, marks an interesting epoch in
the battleship construction of this
country, because its delivery will enable
the builders of the big modern fighting
ships to get them ready for sea. There
have already been delivered at Cramps
ship yards twenty-five big plates weigh
ing about 600 tons intended for the
Indiana and Massachusetts and within
the next ten weeks nearly 1900 tons
more will be received. The Indiana's
side armor win weigh $50 tons and
'woro was received today that four IS
inch plates, weighing forty tons each,
made for this Ship will be sent from
Bethlehem next week. A gentleman
who visited the big iron works says the
plates are in excellent shape and fit to
the bell, Notwithstanding the severe
process they undergo while being har-
VeyiZed. The work of putting the side
armor plates on the Indiana will not be
begun until ali have been received at
, the yard This delay is necessary be-
cause it is proposed to fit the plates to-
Fgether on the wharf alongside the dock
in which the ship floats before attach
ing any of them to her Sides After
they are placed in exactly the position
they viii rest when on the Indiana, the
heavy wood packing on the ship will
be clipped carefully, shaved and ham
1nered 10 correspond with every slight
irregularity in the metal that is to be
placed over it. The idea is to fit the
armor on the ships side in the same
manner that a shoemaker fits his
leather on 4 last. This work of armor-
ing the battleships will be most inter-
esting and is expected to attract to
Cramps ship yard many men interested
in naval construction both in this
country and in Europe. Some idea of
the massive character Of the armor may
be obtained from the statement that
the bolts which secure it to the ships

BATTLES THE NJ. DIS
Strange Disease Appears ut Mineral
vale, Kansas.

Alliance, Kan, July 2S.--A new and
strange disease which battles the skill
of physicians has caused the death of
three residents of Minersville, three
miles south of this city, within the
past two weeks. John AIorehead was
the first victim, the doctors pronounc-
ing his case blood poisoning. Then
Joseph Poorman was taken i'll with
similar symptoms and died last Sun
day. Doctors from this city and Can
ton were called in consultation and
pronounced Poorman's disease black
erysipelas They were unable to treat
it successfully. Mrs. Levi Pennock,
who assisted in nursing Poorman, had
a sore finger and contracted the dis
ease and died last night
1t is supposed she caught it through
the wound on her finger. Mrs. Ada
Rogers, wash woman, is not expect
ed to live with the disease, having con-
tracted it by washing linen.
Three other cases are reported and
the citizens Of the place are frightened.

BRLMONT'S MENAGERIE.
Collection of Rare and Interesting
Birds and Animals.

Birds and Animals.
New York, July 2S-Just what Mr..
Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont is about to
do with large collection of rare and in
terestlng wild animals and birds that ar
rived today in the steamship Elysia from
Gibraltar is a matter of speculation.
Mr. Belmont is in Newport and his
clerks and others interested profess an
amazing ignorance concerning the ulti-
mate use Of the menagerie. But from the
nature ana extent of it, it looks as if Mr..
Belmont is about to forswear horses, and
enter a useful sphere in the travelling
snow business. This Belmont menagerie
was whispered about in certain circles
before the Elysia swung to its anchor off
quarantine. Upon the deck of the steam
ship, amidships, the menagerie was stow
ed away in monument of crates and
cages. There are three sacred cows six
sacred sacred bulls, two shil1er deer, one a
needle buck; a doe. four mongooses, six
Indian parhidges. eight pheasants, eight
cranes, tive, mouse deer about as big as
a black and tan dog; Indian kiles and
Chinese ducks. blood heart doves, a squir-
rel something like a cat. in size, some
jungle, fowl and golden pigeons. They

REFUGE In THE STEEPLE.
A Negro Who Must be Starved Out
From His Airy Perch.


Cincinnati, July ga most unusual
affair attracted hundreds to st. Phil
omena's church on Pearl street last
eveping. A servant girl in the employ
Of the priest went into the cellar under
the church and found a big negro lying
on the coal. She screamed and the ne
gro ran into the yard and up stairs in
to the attic. The girls cries attracted
a big crowd and two policemen went
into the church to arrest him. A COM
plete search was made and the fellow
was finally located in dark corner.
A man named Mullen, who was with
the police, discovered him lying on a
beam and threw a stone which struck
the negro and knocked him off. Jump
ing to his feet he fired several shots
and made for the belfry door. He
rushed in and down the steps to the
choir loft, jumped forty feet to the
floor below, sprang up and ran in a
door leading to the steeple, up which
he disappeared and remains hidden in
its height, fully 200 feet above the
earth. He will be starved out.
