CASHIER IS UNDER ARREST

II. II. Buscher,of the C, D.iD., Charged with Embezzlement and Larceny. Thonzht to Be Mixed Up in Snyder! Pecnh Hons Was Alont to Ee Carried Successor Appointed. . Detectives Kinney and Richards arrested II. II. Buscher last night, at' the home of his mother. No. 273 Keystone avenue, and, taking him to the station-house, pre erred the charges of embezzlement and grand larceny against him. The arrest is the outcome of an investigation that has been going on by the C, II. &. P. oflicials since the time of the disappearance of W. F. Snyder, confidential book-keeper of the local office, about two Keeks ago. Snyder left, taking with him some of the office's books and papers, among them the ledger, and it was alleged that he was aoout $7,400 oil in his accounts. At that time certain expressions from the C. 11. L D. otliciala led to the rumor that Snyder was not alone in his transactions, and that further developments might follow. Since then the company has set an assiduous watch on the doings of several men, ' chief among them being II. II. Uuscher, the cashier, and the man who was arrested last night. ' Detectives from Cincinnati have worked in collaboration with the local ones employed by the company, and last night, at the request of one of them named Cook, from Cincinnati, who has been stopping at the Cirele Park liotej, Superintendent Colbert ordered the arrest made. This step bad been . preceded by the discharge of Bascher night before last. It is alleged that 13nscher and Snyder were accomplices in the thefts, but just where the dividing line between them, or how much more culpable one is than the other, is not yet known. Uaacber was seen at the station-house by a Journal reporter. He isa man of less than medium height, smooth-shaven and slight of ligure. His appearance is peculiar, from the fact that his face is tbat of a boy's, and that his hair is perfectly white. His age is thirty-six. He absolutely declined to make Buy statement as to his guilt or innocence, saying tbat he preferred to wait until he sought legal advice. To the officers who arrested him he declared tbat he had no connection whatever with the matter lor which he was in custody. His ball was placed at g'2.0C0 and he secured it. Charles F. Meyer, the cigar-dealer, going his security. Mr. Bascher was engaged to be married, and the ceremony was to have takan place in the near future. The young lady's name was Miss Lottie Ennis, and he was just leaving his mother's home in her company when the otlicers arrested him. There were found in hi, pockets, when searched at the station-honse, a large number of receipted bills for household furultnre, some of whion were in her name and some in his. There was also one from Julius Walk for a w&tch, which be had doubtless presented to her. The furniture had all been sent to his mother's home, where be expected to take his bride to live, the mother being a widow and dependent on her son. MissLnnis, the young lady, has been employed in one of the down-town stores, and has resided in rooms with her mother, in the blook at the corner of Washington street and Kentucky avenue. Several weeks ago Miss Ennis resigned her position to prepare for the coming nuptials, and has since spent most of her time with Butcher's mother, her parent leaving the city to reside with a son. Her picture is embossed on the face of the imprisoned man's watch, and there were constant reminders of her in his papers. Other he also absolutely refused to speak other than to say that she had no connection with his trouble, and ought not to be dragged into it. The roceipted bills in his possession amounted to nearly 00. The railroad company will bo idemnitied should they sustain any loss, as Uuscher had a bond given by an Eastern idemnity company. Snyder has not as yet been located, although it is believed that he is in Oskaloosa, la. Later in the evening Buscher said that he had no conneotion whatever with Snyder's affairs. He said tbat Snyder had a - complicated system of books, twenty-four in number, and that it was impossible to keep track of them. Also, tbat he himself had been with the C, II. &. D. for fifteen years, and had always done his duty faithfully and honestly. Investigation Finished. Auditor Lishawa. of the C, II. & D., and his clerical force yesterday completed the examination of the books of the freight office at this point for the purpose of discovering what the shortage of Snyder was, and left for Cincinnati last evening, not giving one word ot information as to the results of their investigation even to II. G. Stiles, the general agent, or to Superintendent Galloway. Mr. Lishawa said bo might bo able to give out some statements later, but could not nutil his report had been placed before his superior otlicers. Their Succemor Appointed. Last evening O. P. Parker was appointed cashier of the company at its Indianapolis freight station, giving the proper bond. Mr. Parker has been in the office some years, and is well Informed as to the work he will be called upon to do. George M. Corbaly has been appointed book-keeper, to succeed Snyder. OHIO FARMERS' COMPANY. It la Black-listed, but Its Indiana Khks Have Not Yet Been Kephced. Insurance Commissioner Dnke yesterday announced that the Ohio Farmers' Insurance Company is no longer authorized to do business in this State. The license was revoked Nor. 11, but the faot withheld from the press, at the request of the company's agents, in order to give time to reinsure the risks in other companies, and thus protect the policy-holders. The company nsked only for six days' time, bnt twenty days have already elapsed and the risks in Indiana, and also Ohio, have not yet been placed The pressure by correspondence from all over the State became too heavy to be longer borne, and yesterday the announcement was determined upon. The company placed its risks in Missouri, Wisconsin and Michigan with the Western Assurance of Toronto, and its Illinois risks in the Itockford ot Kockford.' The liquidation of the company is due. it is said, to the low rates li l. J L Urn l No Ammonia. No Ahua. if-. tarn H LI A pure cream of tartar powder. Used in the,U. S.

At each table was a different llower decoration, aud the tlowers presented each suest designated the table, at which she would find her narao. At the head table were baskets of pink roses and garlands of smilax. The mantel was tilled with maiden-hair ferns, pink carnations and chrysanthemums. Pink candles in dainty sticks yielded a mellow light. At each plate was a souvenir ribbon bearing the initials of Miss Porter and Mr. Manon and the date. An interesting feature was the cutting and serving of the cake. Miss Porter cut the first slice and it was passed. Mrs. Sowall announced that "only the young ladies were to be served, and, as there was no way of designating, would the married ladies please refrain from taking any." The reason for this was that three fates were In the cake. The ring wna found to be in Miss Baker's piece, the thimble in Miss Ayres's and the penny in Miss Wood's.

POPULISTS ABE PUSI1ING

Tanbeneck Says They An Already Organizing for the Next Fight. Their Peopla Counted Out in the South Costly Supplies for State Institutions Selecting Keats. I?. E. Tanbeneck, one of the leaders of the People's party, arrived at the English Hotel last night, having come direct from bis home in Marshall, III. He is here to attend a meeting to-day of Populist Indiana leaders. He was found by a reporter in company with Henry Vincent, secretary of the State committee. "My visit here," he said, int reply to a question, "is to be present at a secret conference with some of the party leaders. Our purpose is to take np the work of the party organization In this State, and get ready to overthrow the Democrats in 1804. The People's party is here to stay, and I believe will rise out of the ruins of the Republican party to overwhelm tbe Democracy." "What gams did yon make at the election!" was asked. "We carried a nnmber of States, and will have twenty-four electoral votes. If the doubt in North Dakota is settled in our favor we will have twenty-seven votes. Ours is tbe iirst third party since that has elected a single member of the Electoral College. We will have twenty-two members of the lower house of Congress, and will gain a Senator in Kansas, Wyoming, possibly in California and several otbT Western States. We will therefore hola the balance of dowerintho United Statos Senate." "To what do you attribute the result of the election! ' "The result was duo to a popular unrest on the subject of money. The tar ill' had some influence, of course, but the deepseated cause rolated to the money issue. There must be n greater circulating medium. The People's party is committed to the free coinage of silver, and that question will not be settled until it is settled our way. The Brussel'a conference will help the People's party movement. The idea of ' Rothschild, the Jew banker, dictating what America shall do in regard to silver! The Western fanner will never agree to anything of the sort. The people have elected the Democratic candidate for President, bnt they will find there is no more to be expected from that party than there was from the Republican party. Tho Dmo:ratio platform otters no relief. Its utterances ou the tariff, as interpreted by Cleveland and tbe party leaders, are meaningless. It is idle to talk about raising the revenue we need by duties on luxuries. No nation ever raised money successfully that way. If the party goes to removing the duties oh the necessaries of life, what will become of our manufacturing interests? What ought to be done is to cut down the tariff so as not to overthrow our industries, and raise the bulk of what we need to raise by an income tax. Three-fourths of tbo money needed to be raised ought to be raised in that way. An income tax was successfully levied dur ing the war, and yielded, as I remember now, auoui clv,uju,uuu during tuo last year.'5' "What of tthe People's party in the South!" "We were counted out of thousands of votes in the Southern States. These States do not have the republican form of government which the Constitution makes it the duty of Congress to seoure to each State. I wish Congress would do its duty. But we elected several members of Congress as it . was. Tom Watson was beaten, but I hear will contest the election. A county in his district having 33.0C0 inhabltauts rolled up 11,010 votes, or about twice tbe normal number, .It has been shown that in Alabama the Democrats had tbe name of a negro on their poll-books who had been killed ten years before by the sheriff. Some one bad casta Democratic vote for him. That's all the nse tbo Democratic party has for a negro. Just in the proportion that tho Democrats lose white voters will they resort ' to tho negroes to help them out. The negroes won't vote. The Democrats will simply vote in thoir names. It required the bayonet to drive tbe .carpet-baggers out of power in the South, and the Democrats will never give up nnttl they are driven out by the bayonet." . "Illinois, went Democratic,'' was suggested. - "Ves, and by a large majority. Tbe Republicans there had a chance to save themselves from a gerrymander by helping tue People's party elect members in Democratic districts. The overture was made to the leaders, but they practically told ns to go to the devil they could carry Illinois anyhow; and now we all know the result. The Democrats have a majority in both houses and will gerrymander the State so that tbe Republicans cannot hope to carry tho Legislature again in many years. The Republicans prevented a gerrymander two years ago only by tbe aid of the People's party members, and our members would azain have acted with them if we had been listened to." "Did your national committee have what funds it needed!" "Hot by any means. We had only S3.000 for all our national expenses, and yet wo polled a million votes. There is not a county in Indiana. I venture to say, where both the old parties did not spend that much." Mr. Tanbeneck thinks Marion Cannon, of California, will succeed to Watson's place as leader of the Populists in Congress. Cannon was in Indianapolis during tbo National Farmers' Alliance, and made a favorable impression for strength of character and intelligence. He was elected as Congressman at large from California, in which State he is a grower of fruits and walnuts. Cootly State- Institutions. Mr. Johnson, secretary of tbe State Board of Charities, yesterday hnbshed his statistical report showing the annual comparative cost of maintenance, etc., of the Indiana State benevolent and penal institutions. The Central Hospital for the lnsano costs generally more to maintain than any of the others. Its coftee, tea and sugar bill is remarkably high, being $0.23 per capita, while the per capita cost for the same . articles in tbo Southern hospital is Si. C3. or just about one-half. This is no doubt duo to the inefficiency of the Central's board, which permits itself to be imposed upon in nearly all its contracts. A few instances of these extravagant contracts, which were clearly Mots," have been exposed by tbe Journal. The butter, eggs, poultry, etc., purchased for the Central hospital costs $11.23 per capita, while in tho Southern hospital the cost is only 87.40 capita. Secretary Johnson realizes the truth and cause of this otucial extravagance, bnt has been powerless to prevent the imposition upon the State. The board is one of the creatures ot the Democratic spoils system. The members insist upon letting all contracts themselves instead of throwing the responsibility upou the superintendent of the hospital. Selecting Their Seats. non. Allon Swope and Hon. John T. Mc Hugh, members of the Legislature, were in the city yesterday, choosing scats for the approaching session. Senator Yaryan. of Richmond, has chosen a seat well located for light and hearing, but ifbappens that it is among the seats chosen by the Democratic members. The Senator, howeuer, exercised his right to choose from among those seats not already takon, and says he will keep possession of it. . He will be tbe oldest member of tho Senate, being a nonagenarian in years. Prominent Republicans In Town.' Hon. Marcus R. Sulzer, of Madison, was a guest of the Denison last night He is a member-elect of the Legislature, and an active Republican. Hon. John K. Gowdy. chairman of the Republican Stato committee, was in the city yesterday in consultation with Secretary Millikau. VmiiU to Ha Clerk of the Ifouae. Charles E.

James Marlow. of Vigo, will also be a candidate to till this office. 'D. H. Fenton, of Lake county, is a candidate for re-election as Principal Secretary of the Senate. DIPHTHERIA IN THE SCHOOLS. Dr. Taylor Gives an Instructive Talk to Teach- , . ers on the Disease. At the High-school building last evening Dr. J. U. Taylor talked to tbo teachers on the subject of diphtheria, a disease which is more or less prevalent at this time. Probably four hundred persons, of whom over two hundred were city teachers, were present and filled the ball. In introducing the speaker, Superintendent Jones stated that the audience was a voluntary, and not a compulsory gathering. After diagnosing diphtheria as a disease, Dr. Taylor confined himself to a discussion of the symptoms of the scourge, and the manner in which its spread may be prevented. In this connection he cited a number of ways in which the germs of the disease are spread. Among these was the giving ot coins to children atUicted with the disease, which they, in turn, gave to other children at tbe earn time transmitting the disease. The speaker suggested that tbe City 13 oar d of Health should adopt a system of rules, which should be placed iu the hands of the teachers in the public schools, thereby enabling them to disseminate to the eighteen thousand school-children of the city beneficial knowledge concerning the disease. He was also of the opinion that as soon as a teacher discovered any pupil atllicted with a sore throat, no matter what the nature of the disease, it should be sent home at once. Pictures were exhibited by the speaker, showing the human throat asitapDears whenatlltoted with diphtheria, and after the lecture a microscopio lesson was given. The two schools that were closed iii the northeastern part of town, opened Monday, but there are still a good many cases of diphtheria in town. GRAND ARMY OFFICERS. Annual Election of Phil. II.

The drawing powers of Siberia,' are wonderful, considering tbat this is the eleventh season for tho play, and coupling this fact with the knowledge tbat the public is capricious and is fond of turning its back upon all things old while continually clamoring for something new and diverting.' The patbetio tale of the drama, told in Campbell's best vein, has lost nono of its appealing element, and the terrible scenes of the Siberian mines are realistic pictnres of tbe hardships and cruel treatment undergone by Siberian prisoners. The Russian views are instructive and correct, and tho entire setting of tbe play is fine. The company of this season is eanally as strong as that of last season. Esther Lyons as Sara, is strong in her delineation, careful in enunciation and makes an attraetiTo Jewess. Mr. Hrandt is the Nicolia Mayotf, and reprtsents the character in a manly and heroie manner. Mr. Pike and Miss Dallas contribute delightful bits of comedy acting. The balance of tbe company are cood and the numerous auxiliaries are well trained. NOTE 5. Sam De Vero and his company will be the next attraction at the Empire. The week's engagement will commence Monday matinee. Seats are now selling at the Grand for the engagement of James O'Neill in "Fonteuelle' the first three nights of next week. Throughout the country Mr. O'Neill is duplicating his former success in "Monte Criftto" in this play, which has been most highly commended everywhere. "Uncle Hiram." with its realistio railroad and saw-mill scenes, is doing a very large bnsiness at the Park. Next week this house will have that which is conceded to be' its strongest attraotion. tbo Wilbur Opera Company, with Susie Kerwin as the star, opening in "Grand Duchess'' Monday. Will S. Rising and Louis DeLangeare playing their successful comedy, "Tangled Up." in surrounding cities. This is the second year of the comedy, and it is to be 'hoped that it will be presented here beforo the season closes. Roth Rising and De Lapse are well known to our theatrical goer Rising was with Lotta last year. The engsgement of Henry K. Dixey and bis big company in "Mr. Dobbs of Chicago," at English's, the tirst three nights of next week, will bo ot especial interest to those who like musical extravaganza, with beautiful scenery and costumes, pretty girls and other bright accessories. In his particular line Dixey is easily a leader. He has fifty people in bis company, including twenty dancers, and gorgeous stagesctliugs are promised. ' Henry II.

ANN ODELIA'S LATEST SWINDLE. flow Diss Delarr, the "Spook" Priestess, Secured $735 by a Trick. Geneva, I1L, Dee. 1. Ann Odelia Diss Debarr, or Vera P. Ara, the "spook priestess," of Sew York, is in jail here. Opposite her name in the record book is a statement to the eflcct that she is charged with stealing $735. Mrs. John Mitchell is an Elgin widow.fifty-fiTe years old, and she was greatly Impressed with the "spook priestess." She accordingly placed great credence in .what Diss Debarr said. So, when Ann Odelia told Mrs. Mitchell that her husband, who had been dead a nnmber of years, was in need of money. Mrs. Mitchell fnrnisbed the som mentioned, which was placed between two slates. After these slates had been tied together Ann Odelia placed them beneath the table. When she removed them and untied the string the money had disap' peared. while on one side was written the word "Thanks." Tho slate trick was one too many for Mrs. Mitchell. After consideration she concluded to make inquiries. So it came about that Mrs. Mitchell decided to cause the arrest of the "spook priestess." This was on Oct. 20. and when the warrant was taken out Ann Odelia bad disappeared. Later she was arrested inQnincy and brought here, and after a preliminary hearing, was bound over to the Kane county court, which will meet in February. Rond was plaoed at $$00, but no one cares to furnish this security. NEW LABOR ORGANIZATION. The United Railway Men of America Drought Into Eiliteoca at Chicago. Chicago, Dec 1. The United Railway Men of America, a labor organization, which may prove one of the most powerful of the time, has just been born. Its headquarters are in Chicago, and it will include members in tho United States and Canada. It will discard insurance and all such side features and will have for its object the maintenance of wages and the redress of grievances. It will not antagonize the brotherhoods of railway employes now in existence, bnt will receive its membership from among the unorganized railway men, of whom its leaders claim there are 750,000 in the United States. The order will join in legislative action with the Knights of Labor, American Frederation of Labor, and the Farmers' Alliance An executive committee of eleven members will be tbe controlling body. The order will include the brotherhoods of engineers, firemen, brakemen, conductors, yardmen, trackmen, telegraphers, blacksmiths, boiler-makers, agents, painters, car inspectors and repairers. Demands of Yanderbtlt Lines Engineers. New York, Dec L The general grievance committee, or board of adjustment, at the men prefer to call it, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, representing all the Vauderbilt lines between New York and Buffalo and Pittsburg, swooped down upon the Grand Ceutral.Station yesterday with a list of troubles which they want settled. The cause of tbe trouble is similar to that which nearly precipitated a strike on tbe New York, New Haven Hartford system several months ago.
