INEZ SNYDER'S ATTEMPT.
A Greensburg Young Woman, De-

Miss Inez Snyder, of Greensburg Ind,
who has been visiting sister at No. S34
Park avenue for about three weeks, at
tempted suicide at the latters home yester-
day morning at half past o'clock, by
shooting herself in the body just below the
heart. The revolver used is one that has
been lying carelessly about the house for
a long time. The bullet entered the left
breast near the seventh rio, and made it's
exit from the back slightly lower down.
The course of the bullet is not exactly
known. and. consequently, the chances of
recovery are not known, absolutely. 1t is
hoped that it took a roundabout course
without touching the stomach or the kid
neys, but if either of the latter were pene-
trated, the chances of recovery are slight.
Miss Snyder, who is only twenty-five
years of age and of prepossessing appear
ance, has been suffering with a nervous dis
ease for some time, and came to this city
in the hopes of permanent cure. For sew
isfactory, but at the end of that time she
again took sick and became respondent,
because the doctors could give her no ma
terial encouragement. She had never init
mated any intention of taking her own life

The Aquatic Club Houseboat.

The Aquatic Club, which was organized
some time ago in the interest of water
sports in this city. is progressing well. The
membership, which is limited to 100, is al
ready above fifty, with the outlook bright.
The question of good, substantial house
boat, to be located at Broad Ripple is now
commanding the attention of those most in
terested In this inland city there are few
people acquainted with the ms and outs of
boat building, so that time has been taken
in considering plans for a boat that will
reach the requirements that the members
have fixed on. The idea of buying lumber
and constructing the craft under the super
vision of the members has been abandoned
AT melting last night 1t was decided to al
low two shipwrights who have been found
in this city, to draw plans, similar to VIII 1T
is wanted These plans will be submitted
at a special meeting of the club Saturday
night when bids will be called for and the
contract let to the best bidder 1t is hoped
to have the boat in use before cold weather
sets in, that it may be used for fishing and
other purposes this fall. The winter will
also do much toward seasoning it and pre-
pairing it for the season of 1899, when the
club is expected to afford much pleasure to
it's members.

IN KRAG-REYNOLDS CASE
ASSIGNEE PREPARING TO ATTACK
THE COMPANY'S MORTGAGES.
Intervening Petitions I'm the Litiga-
tiOn-ReynOlds Now in San
Francisco.

Attorney W. T. Brown, representing John
Reagan, assignee for the ag-Reynolds
Company. is preparing to attack the mort
cages given by the company prior to the
assignment. The question of the validity
of the two mortgages will come up in Room
2, Superior Court. Attorney Brown will file
intervening petitions in the litigation, re-
questing that the mortgages be set aside on
the ground that they were illegally exc
cuted. The first mortgage secures the fol-
lowing creditors: Indiana National Bank,
S28,O00 First National Bank, of Chicago,
$4,000; Capital National Bank, of Indian
apolis, $4,000; Eppers, Smith & Weiman, Of
New York, 5000; Nicholas McCarty Harri
son, $4,000; A. B. Gates. $4,000; Nicholas
McCarty. $500.
The second mortgage secures number of
New York banks and many wholesale firms
in the East. The court will be asked to de-
clare the mortgages invalid and instruct the
assignee to collect all the available assets
of the insolvent grocery company. 1t will
then be the duty of the assignee to divide
these assets among all the creditors. 1t is
thought that by an equal distribution the
trust may pay 20 cents on the dollar. The
attorneys say that Charles M. Reynolds,
who was at the head of the wholesale firm,
is in San Francisco engaged in business.

but the fear that his skull was fractured
was unfounded After a good nights rest
at the City Hospital, he was dismissed yes
