HE PERSPIRES GRAVEL.
DIR. Spurricr Here to Consult About q
Patients Strange Case.

DR.. ]. H. Spurrier. of Rushville, while in
the city yesterday for the Loyal Legion
meeting, called to consult with DR.. ]. N.
Hurry concerning a most peculiar case that
has come under his observation. A week
ago Daniel McQueery. of Cynthia, in Shelby
county, twelve miles from Rushville, con-
suited DR.. Spurrier for treatment for pc
culiar disease with which he is afflicted,
which, for want of a better term, is styled
gravel sweating" Mr.. McQueery is about
sixty-two years of age and, aside from the
peculiar disease with which he is annoyed,
is in fair health. About a year ago he told
DR.. Spurrier his thumb became somewhat
caloused and he feared that he was about
to have ''run-around."
One day while he was rubbing the ball of
the thumb he was surprised to feel a fiinty
substance break through the skin. What
he discovered was much like white gravel,
about as large as a grain of wheat. Mr..
McQueery SAID that fully two spoonfuls of
the fakes were removed. Since that time
similar chafing and pressure on other parts
of the body have been followed by the
gravel breaking through the skin. while
he was talking to me- said DR.. Spurrier.
The gave a demonstration by chatng his
forehead
The gravel, or whatever it may be, will
not yield to ordinary acid tests, and DR..
Spurrier arranged to have analyses made
by DR.. Hurry, after which he will consult
with other physicians concerning remedies.

HELD FOR HOMICIDE.
Barber ZanOi Supposed to Have Poi
sOned His Fourth Wife.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-Charles Zanoli, the
barber, who has been held suspicion of
causing the deaths of some of the many
people on whose lives he obtained insur-
ance, was arraigned in Police Court to-day
on the charge of homicide in causing the
death of Jennie Sumner, his fourth and last
wife, by the use of poison or some other
means. The eharge was based on the re-
suit Of the preliminary examination on the
body of Jennie SUMNER which was ex-
humed yesterday The death certificate of
that woman gave typhoid fever as the
cause. The cursory Investigation made by
the experts yesterday proved that typhoid
fever was not q direct cause of death.
Zanoli has already pleaded guilty to the
charge, of defrauding an insurance COM
pany, but has publicly denied that he was
in any way responsible for the deaths of his
four wives and the other persons whose in
surance he obtained. Zanoli was held with
out bail on the charge of homicide. He will
be examined on Saturday next. Through
out the proceedings to-day Zanoli appeared
perfectly calm.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, Dec. H.-Presi-
dents Cake and Spellman, of the fiatteners
and cutters league, are here to-day, and
the condition of the windowglass workers
organization is in a turmoil. There is hard
ly any doubt but that the cutters and fat
teners' association is going to pieces, so far
as this preceptory is concerned. The flat
teners claim there is a conspiracy to de-
plete their treasury. They do not fancy
President Cakes action in demanding 81, 700

has kept the men out of employment for
three months. Many cutters are also out

Eleven fiatteners signed contracts with
the Hartford City Glass Company to-day,

The cutters and fiattenerS, headed by their
presidents, held a conferene here to-day,
but nothing was accomplished. Many of
the fiatteners believe the rumor that Cake
is being benefited by keeping them from 60

the men.

ENGLISH, Ina, Dec. H.-Mrs. p. II. Will
lett, wife Of the missing cashier, arrived at
this place yesterday from Bonneville, where
she had been in consultation with Frank
Hatfield, a prominent attorney and cousin
of Willett. Several letters have recently
been received from Willett and it has leaked
out that he is now under the treatment of
a physician, but where, no one seems to
know. These letters are written in ram
bling sort of way as if the writer were suf-
fering from some great mental trouble. In
all his letters he makes the statement that
he has wronged his best friends, and if it
was not for his wife and child, whom he
dearly loves, he would kill himself He
is of the opinion that the people have lost
confidence in him and fears bodily harm if
he returns. He states that he will return if
he is assured protection.
No name is signed to the letters and they
were mailed on an l.. E. & w. mail train.
Letters have been sent from this place re-
Gently to Groves End, Ontario, Canada, but
this is much as can be learned about the
matter. 1t is believed they reach Willett.

Fierce storm Rushes Seward.

Poor Economy.
New York Sun.

"One of the most difficult things to under
stand,' said man who frequently Is to be
seen in restaurants, lis the attempts of
some restaurant kepeerS 10 economize in
expenses by limiting the number of walters
The wages paid to the men are very SMALL
and a large part of what they get comes
from the tips, so in the end their expense
really comes out of the pockets of their
patrons. But in spite of that the poor serv-
ice which one encounters in restaurants
comes in nine cases out of ten from the fact
that the number of walters is three or four
short. l have known restaurants to gain
the reputation of having very bad service
merely because the proprietor limited the
number of his men, and by trying to save
what would have been paid to three or four
men succeeded in getting bad name for
his place That happens not only in cheap
places but in those of the better class as
well, and / have known men to have five
tables to serve when if that number had
been diminished by one or two they might
have done very we'll. But this kind of
economy is one very often met with in
high-priced places, and it is the most eX-
pensive way in the world of trying to save
money.

Two Example. of Commercial Honor


Two very interesting examples Of high
sense of commercial honor came to light
last month in New York. The first was the
payment by Mr. Amos f. Emo of debts of
the dry goods firm of Emo, Bueren &. VAL
entine, which failed in 1861, from causes in
cident to the outbreak of the war. Accord
ing to law, and even according to ordinary
equity, there was no obligation to pay the
debts of this bankrupt firm, but apparently
Mr. Emo remembered them for years after
every one else had forgotten them, and de-
termined to hunt up the persons to whom
they were due, or their heirs, and pay
them, principal and interest. He went
about it very quietly, and knowledge of his
action came Indirectly to the public
through his efforts to discover to whom the
funds which he desired to distribute should
be offered. Mr.. Emo is the son of Mr.
years ago in spending a great sum OF
money to repair the consequences of a mis-
gotten In New York. 1t was perhaps
quixotic in the younger Emo to pay these
old and outlawed debts, but 1t is an ex-
emplary sort of quixotism, the existence of
which in this money-loving community it
is pleasant to record The disbursement is
not a small one, but amounts to no one
knows what, but possibly to half million
dollars.
The other case is the settlement by Judge
Henry Hilton of the claims against the firm
August, 1896. The liabilities of the firm, OF
which Judge Hilton's son was the senior
partner We're about $22OO.OOO, the assets
Judge Hilton said that he would be respon-
sible for all of the firms debts For about
$1,0OO,00O he was legally liable as indorser of
the firms notes; for the rest he was not
answerable. Ninety-five per cent. of these
liabilities has been paid. and the remainder
is In process of payment. 1t has been a
costly indulgence to Judge Hilton, but it
has been worth the money. Money spent
as he and Mr.. Emo have spent theirs, in
paying debts not legally collectible is spent
as truly for the public good as though 1t
went to endow a college or a hospital.
There is nothing more important for Amer
leans to learn than the worth of honor and
integrity in business dealings.
