INSANE HOSPITAL FUNDS.
Those Tied Up Since SuIIivan's Detail
cation Finally Released.

The Merchants National Bank. of this
city, yesterday paid into court the sum of
$3043.66, the amount Of a judgment rendered
by Judge McMaster, of Room ], Superior
Court, in favor of Zachariah House. The
case grew out of John E. Sullivan's defalca-
ton while he was holding the office of
county clerk In 1889 Philip Gapen, who was
treasurer of the board of trustees of the
Central Hospital for the Insane. kept the
funds in the Meridian National Bank. On
Feb. 20, 1889, he drew check on the bank,
but payment was refused. Prior to this
time Gapen had Endorsed some of the John
T.. Sullivan paper held by the bank, and
which had not been paid. The bank applied
to honor his check. He brought suit against
the bank, but pending trial he was sue
ceeded as treasurer of the board of trustees
by Zachariah House, who stepped into the
case as plaintiff. When the case came up
for trial the court sustained a demurrer
to the complaint. Afterward the Superior
Court, in general term, reversed this de-
cision The matter went to the Supreme
Court and the action of the Superior judges,
who sat in general term, was there af-
firmed. The case then came back for trial
and Judge McMaster, who heard the evil
dence found for the plaintiff. The Meridian
the Merchants National that institution
was called on to settle the judgment. Yes
terday the money was paid to John Oster-
man, who has succeeded Zachariah House
as treasurer of the Central Hospital board
of trustees.

THE ENGLISH PIN RETURNED
Writer Claims to Have Found It
Hayes StiIl in Jail.

The gold pin set with a diamond which
was lost by Mrs. VIII E. English in En-
glish's Opera House was returned through
the mail to Captain English yesterday morn
ing. In the envelope with it was a letter
which said the writer had found the pin in
the theater the night of the Y. NJ C. A.
entertainment CAST Wednesday night, had
kept it, expecting to see an advertisement
concerning it in the newspapers and had
read an account of the arrest of Edward
Hayes charged with stealing the pin. 1t was
added that if the pin did not prove to be
Mrs. English's it should be returned to the
writer, but no name was signed to the let
ter. The writer did not want to become
involved in the matter" the letter set out
Hayes's case is being considered by the
grand jury, and in the meantime he is in
Jail. Sheriff Clark made him trusty yes
terday, which gave him the privilege of
roaming about the Jail freer than he had
been in a cell in United States row.
The color has left Hayes's face, though
he has been behind bars but few days. At
the police station and among those who
Instituted the prosecution of Hayes it is felt
that the letter Is proof against him, it be-
ing in their eyes an awkward attempt of
some of his friends to set things straight.
Hayes made many friends while he was ION
the door at the the&ter and he was looked
on as an excellent doorkeeper, position
that requires about as much tact as that of
box office man. One of his closest friends
went to him Monday and asked him to
turn up the PIN If he had stolen it, but
Hayes insisted that he was not guilty of
stealing the pin. His friends lose none of
their faith, they assert In the theory that
he is a victim of circumstances. He has a
wife and three children and sister de-
pendent on him, and, so far as is known
here, his reputation has always been en-
tirely clean.

INTERSTATE HOTEL co. PrOprietOrs
POOLS At COUNTY FAIRS.
Managers Fear 1t Would BE Risky to
Encourage Them.

The organization of the Indiana Associa-
ton of Fair Managers was completed yes
terday by the adoption of a constitution
The object OF the association is to promote
the mutual interests of the members and
secure the permanent success of county
fairs in the State. Owing to the absence
of those who were to have read papers
there was an informal discussion Of several
topics of interest to the county fairs.
Methods of Advertising was the subject
Of a discussion led by Charles Downing
of Greenfield. Mr.. Downing expressed him
self as committed TO newspaper advertising
In preference to catch-penny bill posters
and Autographs In the rural Districts no
more than In the cities, he insisted are
people TO be beguiled by the methods of past
decades Mr.. Downing spoke of the LIBERAL
ity of the Indianapolis papers TO the state
fair and was not backward in attributing
past success as in u very large measure
due to this fact.
A discussion followed on pool selling The
consensus was that there is a prejudice
against gambling which makes it risky
thing to permit pool selling in country dis
tricts. Ii might not be SO poor a policy 10
allow privileges of this character in the
large cities, but the general opinion seemed
TO prevail that the country people do not
look with favor upon such features at the
fairs There was no dissenting voice TO the
proposition that immoral shows of all sorts
should be tabooed in the city. as well as in
country. III was ueClQe0 10 make J11r
circuits that will not conflict with each
other more than is necessary. But few
fairs have been arranged for, including the
state fair, which is to be held Sept. is.
Other dates announced were: New Castle
and Bainhridge, Aug. IA; Muncie and Leb-
anon, Aug. 21 Elwood and Sheridan Aug.
e, Lafayette, Sept 4, and Charlottesville,
