ED MANY CATHOLIC PRIESTS.

Rate of Interest.

been out on bail of $500 pending a hearing
on charges of embezzlement and forgery
preferred by Father Metzler, a Catholic
priest, of Chippewa Falls. Wis, was sur
rendered by his bondsmen tonight, and is
now in the custody of deputy sheriff. The
action of his bondsmen, one of whom is
Ernst's brother-in-law, is said to be due to
sensational developments in the case, a re-
suit of an investigation which has been
going on since his recent arrest. Ernst is
said TO have received vast sums from peo-
pie throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Eastern States to be invested for them at
a high rate of interest. Many Of his clients
were Catholic priests. who sent their
private fortunes for investment. What the
total amount Of money so received was is
not yet known, but the investigators claim
that 1t was in the neighborhood of $500, 600.
Since his arrest Ernst has filed deed Of
trust to John d. O. Brien, his attorney, con-
veying to him, with power to sell, two Of
flee buildings In the business district This
property is estimated to be worth 500, ,0OO

ing only to about $4,000.

The amount of money which has been ap-

COUNTY BOARDS REPORT.
The report of the Marion County Board
of Charities upon the condition of the City
Hospital, made public short time ago,
says in part:
THE building occupied is unclean, untidy
and unsanitary. The water closets are
filthy. In many places the plastering is off
the walls and ceilings. In the main kitchen
we were told ii was impossible to get rid
of the reaches and water bugs.
I'VE would recommend an immediate and
thorough investigation into existing condi-
tions. We suggest as one way that those
in authority appoint a commission Of three
men and two women, not members of this
board who shall visit the hospital, make
full inquiry into it's condition and needs and
make full report thereof, with recommends
tions."
The total appropriation for the City Hos
pital for 1904 made in the budget approved
in September. is A1.S75. The salary fund
amounts to So les, the repairs fund to $500

CHICAGO, Nov. Sit was expected that
a new executive committee and n chairman
to preside over that body would be elected
to-day by the Western Passenger Associa-
ton. but the election put off until
the session to be held in January. p. s.
Eustis. passenger traffic manager of the
Burlington. and present chairman of the
executive committee, was slated for re-elec-
ton, but owing to the fact that he was
obliged to leave for New Mexico on ac-
count of Ill health he was not present at
the meeting.
Most of the session was devoted to dis
cussing the proposition of home-seekers'
rates. the action of the Southeastern and
Southwestern associations being the
groundwork for the deliberations. These
associations decided some time ago to ex-
tend the rates for home-seekerS until April
10 Of next year. and while many OF the rep
resentatives of the Western lines objected
to extending these rates throughout the
winter months, II was decided TO pass the
matter for the present. AS the matter
stands the home seekers rates will stand
until action is taken by the Western Pas
senger Association. The adjustment of diff
ferences arising in connection with the
division of through rates with other asso-
Citations in territorial business was left to
the arbitration committee. No reduced
rates will he granted for Thanksgiving.

LITTLE HOPE FOR. VESSEL.
Wreckagc Washed Ashore in Alaska
Thought to BE from Nome
Steamer Discovery.

Seattle, Wash, Nov. PA special to
the Post Intelligencer from Juneau,
Alaska, announces that J. Bent, a pas
senger on the steamer Excelsior, which
arrived there Monday, reports that a
mass of wreckage from the Nome
steamer Discovery has washed ashore
at the mouth of Seal river, 80 miles be-
low Yakutat Bent's information makes
it practically certain that the Discovery
is lost and leaves little hope for either
passengers or crew. 1t is believed that
everybody on board persisted. The
wreckage found, Bent says, consists of
pieces of life boats, life preservers and
a large portion of her hull. Bent states
that terrific storm prevailed for week
prior to November 16, on which date
he boarded the Excelsior at Yakutat.
The number of people aboard the Dis
covery, passengers and crew, is esti-
mated at 30. The vessel left Nome early
in October and sailed from Yakutat Oc-
tober 20. This was the last seen of her.
The Discovery, was built at Port
Townsend in 1898 for the Puget Sound
trade. She has been in the Nome traf-
fic for the past three years.

mine in the Cripple Creek district by
an explosion of dynamite, which killed

Camp Goldfeld, the Cripple Creek mil
itary headquarters, they were scattered
about the district to prevent the es-
cape of suspicious characters. After
the arrest of IL men believed to be
connected with the Vindicator explo-
sion, three as principals and nine as
accessories, the troops were again or
dered to proceed to Telluride IF they
arrive at Rldgeway too late to get into
Telluride before dark, they will re-
main at the former place. Conditions
at Telluride are such that Gov. Pea
body says the troops will take no
chances by entering the district at
night.
