Bank of the Ohio Valley, offered to
loan the city for one year the amount
of money necessary to take up the
bonds. The committee instructed City
Clerk Thomas O'Brien, Jr., to write to
Winslow. LINER & Co., bankers, of
Wall street, New York city, who rep
resent the holders of the ebonds, Vim
structing them to send sight drafts for
the face value of the bonds.
While the rate of interest to be
charged by the bank was not made
public, it will be less than the legal
rate, and is understood to be four and
one-half or five per cent. The bonds
bear interest at the rate of three per
cent.
The first effort to provide for the
payment of the compromise loan was
included in the refunding ordinance,
which the voters refused to ratify at
the polls. 1t is understood that they
have not abandoned the refunding idea,
but propose to again submit it in the
event that the next Council is Republic
can.

BODY Of A YOUNG MAN
THOUGHT TO BE THAT OF WILLIAM
FRANCY, OF TORONTO.
OHIO.
FOUND IN THE BACK RIVER
Early Yesterday AfternOon-It Had
Evidently Been i'm the Water For
Some Time-Discovery Made by
Several Boys-ResuIt of the Corr
Oner's investigation.

Yesterday afternoon about two
O'Clock several boys found the body
of a young man in the Back" river
at the foot of Virginia street, and it is
believed to be that of Wilmot Francy,
who was drowned neal his home at
Toronto, o., about three months ago.
The body was imbedded in the sand
near the shore and had apparently
been in the water for quite a while,
as it was considerably decomposed and
also mutilated.
The boys Immediately informed the
Island fremen of the discovery, and
Coroner ]. w. Schultze. who was noti-
fed, ordered the remains to be taken
to Foster & Watkins undertaking es-
tablihment to be prepared for burial.
Later the coroner made an investiga-
ton, and came to the conclusion that
it was evidently that of Wilmot Fran
cy, of Toronto, o., who was drowned
at that place April list. Young Francy
was described as being 19 years old,
5 feet 6 inches tall, with light hair,
rather long; smooth face, and wearing
two coats, brown canvas hunting coat
oyer a cloth coat, two pairs of trous-
ers and rubber boots. The appearance
of the body tailed with Francy's de-
Scription as to the age and over
alls and boots. The body was unfit
for identification, as both arms and
the right leg and also part of the face
were gone. Around the waist of the
body was a leather strap t%hree-quar-
tiers of an inch wide, and the wearing
apparel consisted only of a pair of
oyeralls and heavy farmer brogan
rubber boots with felt tops. Owing
to the condition of the remains, they
were taken as soon as possible to PEN
insula cemetery Coroner Schultze in
tends to communicate with Franey's
relatives at Toronto to inform them of
the facts of the discovery.

HANDICAPPED BY A WILL.
North and south Side OF an Indinha
House Left to Different
People.

G. B. Kelly. once a prominent citizen
OF Dublin. Ind. died 20 years ago ard
more. While still living he erected a
fine and costly monument in the cerl-
etery there for his own use, says the
Boston Transcript. After his death his
body was taken TO Boston, Mass, for
burial beside the body Of his first wife.
He was married three times, and there
was but one child. a daughter by his
first wife. His second wife is dead and
is buried here. The third wife is still
living. His daughter is also living, and
she owns an orange grove IN Cailfor-
MIA, where she resides.
Mr.. Kelly owned a large brick house
in Dublin, with three acres of ground
attached--an equal amount of ground
on each side of the house. The house
has hall running clear through. In
his will Mr.. Kelly bequeathed the north
side of the house and the south side
of the lot to his daughter, and the
south side of the house and the north
side of the lot to his wife. There was
an estranged feeling between the bene-
ficiaries,. and neither has occupied her
side since the death of Mr.. Kelly. Each
has goods stored in her respective por-
ton. The property cannot be sold sep
arately nor rented, as no tenant nor
buyer wants it in that shape. The
house has remained unoccuped for 20
years, save that one room is leased on
the daughters side by Col. Davenport,
who lives there alone
