THE ICARIANS
An Iowa Community Will Divide Their
PrOperty

property
Corning, Iowa, Feb 23.-The mem
bers of the Icarian community, three
miles east OF this city, have agreed to
division of their property and dissolu-
ton of their society, and steps are now
being taken to that end The interest of
heirs of the deceased and other legal in
tricacies have rendered it advisable to ap-
point receiver and put the matter into
the hands of the court. This community
is socialistic in the extreme. Its founder
was Il. CADET, and its inception dated
back to a period Just previous to tn e
French revolution, when sixty-nine So
cialists embarked from Havre and located
near Red River. Internal troubles dis
couraged the band and they removed to
New Orleans. AS soon as CADET learn ed
of this change of base, he sailed for New
Orleans and resumed personal supervision
of the colony. Under his leaders hip they
migrated to Nauvoo, ILL., Here the Icari-
ans were successful for time. Discussions
arose, and during 1856 CADET and 10 ,ad-
herents left the remainder and went to
st. Louis, where the founder of Iearia
died hte same year. Meantime the other
faction had settled in Adams county,
Iowa. and were incorporated under the
laws of the state as Icaria. They have re-
sided here ever since.
Another rupture occurred in 1879, when
the property was equally divided. The
remaining members have since continued
in the original manner OF living.

To Discipline Davis

Oakland, Feb 23.-Rev. J. V. Coombs
of Connorsville, Ind, a minister of the
Christian church and an accredited evan
gelist, has written to some of his co-relig-
ionists at Oakland, asking for further de-
tails concerning the Associated Press
stories of the sensational pulpit methods
employed by Rev. Edward Davis, who
waltzed in his pulpit, gave Shakespearean
impersonations and indorsed poker. Mr.
Coombs says that he will come to Oak
land, discipline the young clergyman and
preach the true principles of the Christian
Church. Mr.. Davis has lately adopted
evening dress as his pulpit costume on
tions. He disclaims heterodoxy and
claims to be practical Christian" with
the single aim to do good and preach the
gospel

Was Probably rlurdered

st. Louis, Feb 23.-Developments in
connection with the finding of body of
a man on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad track at Ashley, ILL.,, revealed that
he is John +. Manning of Quincy, ILL.,,
formerly of st. Louis, and that he was
probably murdered for purposes of rob-
berry. A close examination of the in
juries which caused the man death show
that all were not inflicted by train. His
throat was cut from ear to ear, and the
appearance of this wound indicates that
it was inflicted by knife or razor
rather than the flange of wheel. In adj
dition a hole, having the appearance of
having been inflicted by a bullet, wa
found in the head of the corpse. Rob-
berry is supposed to have been the motive
for the murder, as Manning had at least
$3.50 in his possession when murdered.

Through the Negligence of an officer

Nassau, n. H., Feb. 23.-The opinion
of the court of inquiry convened to de-
termine the responsibility for the loss of
the steamer Cienfuegos was rendered to
the Governor last night. The court holds
that the Cienfuegos was lost through the
negligence of her commanding officer,
Captain Hoyt His navigation of the ship
was faulty in every particular. 1t ap-
peared in evidence that no precaution was
taken in making the dangerous island on
which the steamer was wrecked: The
ordinary use of the deviation charts was
ignored and the course steered was de-
termined by guesswork
