Some time ago Mrs. Francis Liggett filed a suit against the Citizens' Natural-gas, Oil and Water Company, claiming damages because the company had removed from her stoves the mixers belonging to the company. Tho company this day filed an answer of about twenty pages, and the leg il fight between a stockholder and the corporation is on in dead earnest. The facts in the case aro thes: ilrs.

At their last session they agreed that, if Hendricks connty would ofier 8200, they would ofler 3C00 for this county, making a total reward of $500. They wrote to the Hendricks County Commissioners and have received no reply.

DID NOT CUT TIIE IUWSER

The HoliPinia Wanted toTow tho Umbria for the Sake of the Salvage Money, An.l Whfn the Mnes Broke the Crew Was Great ly lhaprflited Developments in the Grrat Panama Canal bc;mlal. WASTED TO TOW TIIE CSinitlA. The liohemla Did Not Cut the Hawser that Connected tier xrlih thn Ditnhled Steamer. Hamburg, Jan. 5. Upon tho arrival here to-day of the Hamburg-American steamer Bohemia, interviews were had with several pereous aboard of her in regard to her attempt to tow the disabled Cunard liner Umbria, and to the report ' tbat the towipg-hawser had been cut on board the Bohemia. Everybody on the steamer emphatically denied that the hawser was cut. They say that the weather wae fairly cairn when tho steel hawser and several other lines from the Bohemia were made fast on board the Umbria. The Bohemia then forged ahead with the Conard liner in tow, but in the evening a violent storm set in. Both vessels pitched heavily and the strain upon the towing lines was tremendous. At 10 o'clock at nigbt it was snowing heavily and at that hour the starboard liue and the port hawser parted. The breaks were not closo on board but a considerable distance from the Bohemia. Many feet of tho hawser was lett trailing astern when tho break occured and this fact ellectually disproves the statement that tho hawser was cut on board the Bohemia. When the liues parted the Bohemia stopped and signaled repeatedly to tho Umbria, but no answer was received. When daylight broke the sea was closely scanned tor the Umbria, but no sian of her could be seen. Tho Bohemia, therefore, proceeded on her voyage. The crew of tho Bohemia kuew that if they succeeded in taking the Umbria into Halifax, they would receive a share of the salvage money and they were enthusiastic at the prospect. When tho lines broko they wero greatly disappointed, as their hope of reward disappeared. According to thoso interviewed, the commander of the Bohemia would have beon only too triad to have towed the Umbria into port, and had his lines not broken he would certainly have done so. The breaking of the lrnet was dne to tho great Htrain upon them, and not to their having been cut on the Bohemia, and any statement to the contrary la not based upon knowledge of the facts. THE CANAL SCANDAL. Millions of Mouey Lost in Contracts Charges Against M. JIalhat. Paris, Jan. 5. The parliamentary com mission of Inquiry resumed to-day its sit tings, suspended during tho holidays. The principal witness called was Viscount Do Villebols-Marouil, monarchist Deputy for Mayenne. He said that the expenditure of the Panama Canal Company in cor rupting the press was a trillo when compared with tho enormous amount lost through the contracts. He urged the commission to call the principal contractors andexamino as to the amounts re ceived and the work actually done. The wide discrepancy, between the two items wonld then be revealed. The committee de la union of Panama, be said, had been formed especially to inlluenco Deputies and conspicuous men in the provinces to favor the lottery loan. Tho commission appointed a sub-commission to .inquire iuto Viscount Ho Villebios-Mareuirs charges, and then adjourned until Saturday. M. Baihut, Minister of Public Works in the Cabinet of M. De Freycinet, in 1880. was to-day brought before M. Franqueville, ex amining magistrate, to confront Charles de Lesseps and Marius Fontaine, imprisoned direotors of the Panama Canal Company. After an examination of two hours M. Baihut was ordered to prepare to appear before M. Franqueville again before Jan. 10. M. Baihnt's present position is enig matical. He has been accused by W. Ferdinand Martin, a banker, who says tie was employed uy ine ranama company to influence Deputies, of having received repeated payments trom the company. 31. Armenegaud, a civil en gineer, and former member of the City Council, also made damaging charges against him. M. liaihnt was the classfellow of M. Armenegaud at an engineer ing school, and bis intimato friend and frequent visitor at his country-houso at St. Lea until about live years ago, when M. Baihut got Madame Armenegaud to elone with him. although she was the moth er of threo children. M. Armenegaud had to divorce ber, and to liqui date her fortune, which, when they married, amounted to 2,000.OJ0 francs. A third part went by law to the husband for his lifetime, and a third to the chil dren. The rest went back to her. M. Armenegaud had stated that M. Baihut was nenniless until he got hoid of Madame Armenegaud's 1,000,000 francs. M. Baihut has already replied to this statement in a letter calculated to show tbat he had, before an independent income of 40,000 francs. The charges of M. Martin have also been denied by M. Baihut liow far the "resent examination concerns them can only bo sur mised. M. Ulondin. who was arrested vesterdav afternoon, bavins been examined bv M. Franqueville, is accused of having been an intermediary between thecorrupt KeinachArton combination and Deputies. At tho time ho was.M. Baihut a private secretary. His arrest Has been tho one topic of discussion in the lobbies of tho Chamber. It is supposed that his evidence yesterday implicated M. Baihut, and was tho direct cause of the latter a examination to-day. M. iilondin is simply a clerk in the employ of tho Credit Lyonnalse, without any connection with or responsibility lor the management of the Credit Lyonnaiso, and his employment as clork with the Credit Lyunnaine begau some time after tho period of his alleged complicity in the Panama scandal. It will bo seen, therefore, that the mention of the Credit Lynnuaise in connection with the arrest of M. Blondin should not be interpreted as in the slightest degreo involving that institution m M. Blondin's association with tho Panama canal enterprise. There is a report, still unconfirmed. that M. Herbette. French embuBsador in Berlin, is one of the "lnllucntial personages 7 implicated in the Panama scandal whose name M, Andrieuz refused to divulge in his testimony before the parliamentary commission of inquiry. M. Heihette was a schoolmate of Charles de Lesseps. and the two men have Ions been intimate triends. M. Herbutte owes his diplomatic position largely to the friend snip and patronage or M. i)e freycinet, the present Minister ol War. Egyptian Camlrjr limited br Derrlslie. Cairo, Jan. 5. Details of the recent fighting between Dervishes and Kgyptian troops near Ambigot have just beon received here. The Egyptian camelry numbered 120, including a body of Shaggiyeh irregulars. The Dervishes were surprised by the camelry at daylight and retreated to the hills, keening up an incessant tiring. A sqad of camelr, which followed them, soon found its If cnt oil from the main body. A hand-to-hand tight ensued in which the Egyptians made a gallant defense, but unsuccessfully, ns they wero greatly outnumbered. A similar fate befell another detachment of camelry that followed the Dervishes. Tho lighting continued until Captain Bayne and a native ofiicerfell. The Egrptians then rotreated. Besides the los B"B mentioned twenty-eight oi mo cameiry and eignt Miaggiyehs were killed and lifteen were wounded. llloi tn Gertaanr. Berlin. Jan. 5. Yesterday was a day of keen anxiety in the Saar district with the striking miners. In Puttlingen. yesterday a mob of two hundred strikers raided the bouses of the men who had refused to join them, dragged out and beat several. and smashed the windows. In Forbach a mob, starting out with a similar purpose

was stopped for a moment by a priest, who begged tho men to be reasonable and not to make innocent workingmen sutler for tryiug to support their families. A pistol was fired at the priest as he poke against .a . - he Anarchists, and then a shower of stones fell around him. The mob made a rush for away. The mob broko a few windows, beat two miners who bad refused to ntop work and dispersed. Muiy of tho strikers are armed with revolvers and a few rtlies. and they bavo been tiring recklessly in th neighborhood of the pit. A meeting of three thousand strikers was held to-day near Snar Louis, nud tour leaders were elected to act in the room cf the two already arrested. After the meeting broke up, ttie men marched oil in tbree bodies, bring revolvers, singing the Marseillaise and insulting all respectably dressed men in sight. Cold Weather on the Continent. London', Jan. 5. The present cold spell on the continent bids fair to be almost as disastrous in its effects as was the great cold spell of two years ago. The river Scheldt, in Belgium, is almost completely closed by ice, which renders navigation from Antwerp to tho sta extremely dangerous, bailing vessels laden with petroleum aro not allowed to go either up or down the river. All other sailing vessels must be towed. A dispatch from Flume, Austria, says that a railway train was stalled in the snow near thero for eighteen hours, and the imprisoned passengers were famished and half frozen when rescued. During the recent severe snow-storm a cottage at Herzogenburg. a town of Austria on the Trazen, about thirty-live miles west of Vienna, was buried under a mass of biiow. Tho cottage was inhabited by a laborer nnmed Michaoleka and his family, nntnbering in all eignt persons.
