Seitz Flunks on The Bonds.

B. M. Seitz, the Chicago broker or faker, who bid off the hew court house bonds,on July 28th. has gone back on his bargain, and will not take them. lie had by the terms of the sale a week in which to make the first pajmept of S2OOO. When the week was up, last Friday, instead of sending the $2,000, he sent for a full* transcript of all proceedings connected with the sale. This was sent him together with a notice from the commissioners that they would extend his time to complete the purchase until last Monday noon. And that is the last that has been heard of Seitz. A representive of»W. J P Hays <fc Son, of Cleveland, whose bid was only $55 less than Seitz’s, is here, as are also some other parties anxious to buy the bonds, and it seems probable that they will be disposed of with little loss on account of Seitz’s flunk. If the matter is settled by the time we go to press the result will be found at the end of this article. I. F. Heinzman, of Noblesville is here getting ready to begin work today, ( Thursday. ) The first work being of course, the tearing down of the old building, which will begin today, with a large force <?f men. J. A. Lutz, a master stone'mason, who was overseer of the stonework on Monticello, Rochester and Hartford City court houses, is here also, and will probably be engaged for a like capacity on this building. Mr. Heinzman and Mr. Lutz examined the stone at Yeoman’s quarry Tuesday . with a_ view to using it for the foundations, if it was suitable; but they decided it did not possess sufficient crushing strength for a building that size and weight; and it is not therefore, to be used.
