 THOUGHT OF A COMPANION.

While on camping trip in Webster county, Mr $. I. Stump, of Norman ton, w. Va., had a severe attack of bloody Aux.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE.

FACTOR IN DEVELOPING INTELLECT
 OF THE YOUNG.
 Another educational institute has been added to those in Bridgeport and one which promises to be an import ant factor in the development of the young. This acquisition, new to this city, but recognized throughout the United States as standard college for learning, is Browns college. It is To- cated in the BarnumThompson build- ing on State street. Shorthand, type writing and practical business edu- cation is offered students through this medium. The school room is one of the most model that could be arranged. The room is light, airy, well ventilat- ed and thoroughly equipped.
 This college scarcely needs an intro- duction to the people of this vicinity. For many years the school at South Norwalk has been in existence; it's grad uates are found in all parts of the country. Each clerk has become prom inent in the business world, leading court stenographers and those engaged in trade, were drilled in this college. The institute was one of the first to adopt the system of individual instruc- tiOn, a system far superior to that of class instruction, where you are hurried along any old way to get through the course. References from leading men throughout the country of the bene- fits of this school can be had upon ap- plication at the local institute. The success of the method adopted in this school is due to the practicability of the form of the education. For in- stance, you are not taught banking simply through books. A banking es- tablishment, complete to the minuteSt detail, has been constructed in the school room, the student is placed be- hind the counter just as is the clerk in the banking and brokerage office in the 1 leading banks in the country. Each l clerk has his department and business is transacted in the regular way. Mon ey is Ipaid in, ledger opened, drafts and bills of exchange change hands the books passed, accounts opened anc closed so that boy graduating from this branch can go into any first class bank in the country and take up . place which young men working in { bank have been years in working up to The Remington, Smith Premier ant Yost makes of typewriters are used il the school and students are familiar with them all. This is great benefit over the system of con tining those whl take up this study to one machine The local school will be under the per sonal supervision of l. s.

LENIENCY FOR POSTMASTER.
Judge Baker Suspends Judgment in
Case OF John NJ. Boatman.

John NJ Boatman. formerly postmaster at
Catline, Ind, came before United States
Judge Baker yesterday, accompanied by
his attorneys and number of his fellow
townsmen, and entered plea of guilty to
a grand jury indictment charging him with
embezzling $567.4s of money order funds be-
longing to the government. A strong plea
for mercy was made in Boatman's behalf
By his attorneys, and several citizens of
Catline testified to his previous excellent
character Boatman was agent for the
Adams Express Company and for the VAN
dalia Railroad at Catline, in addition to
being postmaster, and the evidence tended
TO show that his fault arose rather from
carelessness in keeping his various accounts
than from any criminal intent. Judge
Baker was strongly Influenced in the man 8
favor by the statements of express company
and railroad officials that they have such
confidence in the mans honesty that they
intend to keep him in their employ. The
Judge finally consented TO allow a suspen-
sion of sentence during the defendant s
good behavior.

THE ARREST OF c. L. BUM
POLICE THINK THEY HAVE Kun
DOWN CONFIDENCE GAME.
A CONSIGNMENT of Cheese shipped 10
This City-Bunn Denies
the Charges.

The police took into custody yesterday
man giving the name of Chauncey L. buhh'
who claims to live at No. S43 Cherry street.
Columbus, O., and is charged with peing
fugitive and confidence man. Inc arrest
was made by Detectives Asch and Morgan,
following the arrest of two men In Louis
vile, KY, giving the names OF Anderson
and Nash. The three men are thought 10
be members of gang which makes ousi-
ness of confidence games on a large scare
and which has, according to the police
continued for five years.
About a week ago three men, said to be
those under arrest, rented room at Louis
vile, and, assuming the name OF Louis
VILE dealer whose rating is given in the
mercantile reports, wrote to c. F. Udell, of
Sheboygan, Wis. asking for a large con-
signment of cheese, which was shipped to
them. The cheese, after receipt, was taken
out and reshipped to other cities, two por-
tons of 1t being sent to this city. The room
rented for the Louisville business was then
given up and the men disappeared. Mon
day last one of the consignments was re-
ceived here and sold by Bum to +. +.
Shideler & Co., commission merchants, on
Delaware street. According to advices. an
other shipment from Louisville was expect
ed and the detectives waited for 1t. 1t ar
rived about noon Friday, and an express
man came a few minutes after noon yes
terday with bill of lading for 1t. The ex-
pressman pointed out the man for whom he
was working, and who was watching about
a half square from the freight depot. Asch
took him into custody.
Bum denies that he is a confidence man
and says he knows nothing of the men al
Louisville, except that he was selling the
cheese for them and accounting to them
for the proceeds. He has been stopping
here at the Spencer House with his wife.
Mr.. Shideler said he had known Bum for
some time. meeting him in Michigan, and
had purchased the cheese in the belief that
he was reputable commission man.

Grafton Johnson's Remuneration as
Receiver at Greenwood.

The Po1k-Johnson receivership case.
which had been on trial at Franklin for
three days. was brought to close yes
terday by agreement. Grafton Johnson, of
Greenwood, had claimed $4,000 for services
as receiver for the Polk canning establish
ment, which was resisted on the ground
that he had promised TO serve without pay.
The court held this not to be a valid con-
reached whereby Mr.. Johnson's services
were placed at $4,000 five hundred of which
have been paid. Mr.. Polk reserves the
right to appeal on the ground that John
sons promise to act without pay was a
legal contract. The case will be appealed.

THE DEATH PENALTY.
At Present 1t Could Not BE Executed
in Certain Counties.

An investigation of the Indiana statutes
reveals the startling fact that If the death
penalty was returned against a criminal in
certain counties of the State under the law
it could not be executed.
The only section of the statutes which
provides for the death penalty. and pre-
scribes how and and by whom it shall be
executed, is Section 1871, which is as fol-
lows: THAT the punishment of death, pre-
scribed by law, shall be inflicted by hang
ing by the neck until the person is dead,
which hanging shall take place before the
hour of sunrise upon such day, not less
than one hundred days after conviction, as
the court may adjudge, and when sentence
of death is pronounced in any of the coun-
ties of Warren, Fountain, Montgomery,
Boone, Hamilton, Madison, Delaware, Ran
dolph or Marion, or in any counties lying
north of said counties in this State, the
warden of the State Prison North or, in
case of his death, disability or absence, his
deputy shall be the executioner, and when
the sentence is pronounced in any other
county In this State than those above men,
toned the warden of the State Prison
South, or in case of his death. disability or
absence, his deputy shall be the execution
er: Provided. That in any county of this
State in which any person may be under
sentence or judgment of death at the time
of the taking effect of this act, the said
sentence and judgment shall be carried into
effect and executed under the law now in
force for the infiiction of the death penalty.
which said law is hereby continued in ex-
istence for such purpose.
AT the present time there is no prison
South OF the kind contemplated in the
law, the institution having been changed
into a reformatory whose character is en-
| tirely foreign to the execution OF death
penalty. AS a consequence, it is asserted
by lawyers of good repute that if the
death penalty were returned against any
person in any Of the counties south of the
| central counties mentioned in Section 1871
| il could not be executed. for the reason
| that that part Of the statute which refers
| tc the Jeffersonville prison is virtually
null and void
| In order TO remedy this state of affairs
Attorney General Taylor is at present en-
gagged in the preparation of an amendment
TO the section. which will provide that in
cases where the death penalty is returned
against any person il shall be executed al
| Michigan City prison, regardless OF the
/ county in which the sentence was re-
/ turned. The amendment viii carry ar
emergency clause with IL providing that
the amendment take effect from the date
| OF its passage.
