Extraordinary Lawsuit Between an Under
talxer and Young Woman.


Extraordinary Lawsuit Between an Under
taker and Young Woman.
The jury which has been listening to
the very unique and extraordinary tes-
timony in the case Of Miss Minnie
Heincke against Undertaken Kohler-
mann Of Lawrenceburg, Ind, returned
verdict in favor Of the defendant. The
plaintiff, who is an INDECENT young wo-
man, will have to pay the expenses OF
the court trial, together with attorneys
fees, and the amount will run up to
more than she has earned as a seam
stress within the past year. 1t was a
very singular case, the like Of which
was never docketed before in the civil
courts of this country.
On the 23d day Of last January there
died in Lawrenceburg John Heincke,
a German, aged 60 years. The day after
Heinckes death Undertaken Louis Koh-
hermann was called in to take charge OF
the remains. The family was poor, but
they wanted their dead father laid away
as respectfully as their limited purses
would allow. The undertaken promised
them very neat job for $75.
Sunday afternoon, with all the pomp
and ceremony the family could afford
to indulge in, the body Of the dead was
removed to vault in Greendale ceme-
terry, and there deposited until the
spring, when they should bury it.
The Sunday following the incasement
Of .Heincke's body in the vault Miss
Minnie, the only living daughter, visit
ed the cemetery, together with several
I female friends. She expressed desire
to see her fathers face, and the sexton,
being of an accommodating disposition,
opened the vault. A female companion
Of Miss Heincke's saw the face before
the daughter did and pulled her away
before her eyes had the chance to rest
upon the corpse. The rumor soon became
noised about that the body had been de-
posted in coffin far too small for the
man. The undertaken was consulted
and he went out to see for himself.
Sure enough, the nose touched the glass
] covering. He told the children o.
Heincke that he would change the cot
fin. and he kept his word.
Subsequently the body was inferred

A CURIOUS CATCH.

4 Forty Pound salmon Caught on Trawt
Near Portland.
A genuine curiosity arrived in Port
land, Me-, Thursday, in the shape of
handsome 40 pound salmon. The pecul-
lar thing about the fish was the manner
Of his capture, which, all the, old salts
say, happens very rarely. Wednesday
morning Girard Knipe, one Of the crew
Of the fishing schooner Electric Light,
went ont in dory to haul up some
travis which were set off Pemaquid in
80 fathoms Of water. The usual number
Of cod and haddock were found on the
hooks, but Mr.. Knipe received one OF
the biggest surprises Of his life when he
hauled in handsome salmon.
What in the world the salmon was do
ing out in deep water no one can ex-
plain, and he was certainly very hum

bait of such plebeian fish as cod and had
dock. Patrolman Skillings said: "The

They Fooled the Old Man.

William Bush and Miss Ida Redlen
Of st. Paul eloped the other morning.
The father had objected to the match
because Mr.. Bush is politician. Anew
mornings ago he heard his daughter
arise at about 8 o'clock, and thinking
mischief was brewing he hastily dressed
and got down stairs just in time to see
the lovers drive away. The father seized
q shotgun, mounted a horse and pur-
sued the couple, but they were too swift
for the old gentleman. They stopped
long enough at Stomer for Parson Evans
to pronounce the ceremony, and then
pushed ON to Adams just in time to
catch the east bound train. As they were

Loan and Building Associations.

Elsewhere in this issue are printed the
views Of several officers of our local Loan
and Building Associations. No one can
read them without concluding that Gov
ernor Cleaves was amply justified in tax
ing steps to prevent the miscarriage of the
savings Of those, seeking UGH institutions
for their investments, toforeign companies
of doubtful reputation and questionable
methods.
If we are not misinformed, the bank ex-
aminers Of New England, in their recent
session in Boston for investigating the
Granite State affair, were unanimous ia
their conclusion that it's methods had
been wrong in the past, and were divided
only as to whether or not the promised
abandonment of such in the future would
remove objections to its continuance in
business.
After all that has been said about these
institutions in our State as affording op-
portunities for investment, the greatest Of
all their many advantages are reaped by
the State at large in the provision they
make for building homes for those who
would otherwise own no homes and from
intoxicating those lessons Of prudence,
economy, saving and thrift which lie at
the foundation of material prosperity.
q These associations are Of comparatively
recent origin in Maine, vet already they
have accumulated 81, 123, 62S. 49, OF this
sum in passing it is well to note that
SIS3, 233. 10 is the share Of the seven asso-
Citations in this immediate vicinity. OF as
is sometimes said, in ''The Greater Port
land" Every dollar Of this sum has been
invested at home and the Overwhelming
proportion Of it in enabling those to build
homes for themselves and securing to the
community at large-the State-all the
advantage Of the incentive to good citi-
zenship emanating from such conditions.
