MILLER'S NICKEUMINE.

R«n« Faets Brought Oat by the Pnrebuo of (tic .Hetiil. New YORK, October 1.—The passage of the bill to permit the Secretory of the Navy to buy $1,000,000 worth ofjuickel to use in making nickel »teel plates for ship armors brings out the curious fact that ex-Senator Warner Miller and a number of friends are owners of a nickel mine in Nevada, which they have stocked for $5,000,000, or rather which was stocked for that amount when they secured control of it. The man who explored the mine was the late Thomas M. Nicliol, once the iftctotum of Senator John Sherman, and for a time private secretary -of General Garfield. Ilia peculiar wasting it way to death while at the same tirno he daily consumed enough food for two or three men was widely reported in the New York papers two yearn ago. At the time of bis death ho waa deeply in debt, and had pledged large quantities of bis nickel mine stock as security. Senator Miller had loaned him money from time to time, and had accepted stock as security. After death it waa determined to make an ftxanv ination of the property, which pfoved BO (satisfactory that money was raisfd to develope it. One of tho syndicate gays fchev havo ore enough on the dump to atippfy the full amount of nickel which the secretary of the navy will buy and will hasten the completion of asmeltor which they are now putting up in order to be the market. It is said it is free from any alloy and does not require roup.ting aa is the case with Canadian nickel about which so much has been recently said. The yield pi the metal is enormous, being from 50 to 7a per cent, whereas tho Canadian ore averages only about 5 per cent.

M'KEEN'S MONEY MATTERS.

A COMPUTI VINDICATION OPTBB VAXDALIA'H PBE5IDE5T.

His CoDDtelioa With the Im ported to Coorl to Have Been Perf#lly Honorable and FiJr.

W. P. Fishback, master in chance^* to whom was referred the suit in equity of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Company vs. Win. R. McKeen, has completed his report and filed it with the United States Circuit court at Indianapolis. In the report he completely vindicates Mr. McKeen from the serions charges set forth by the complainant. These charges are, in brief, that Mr. McKeen knew that the C. H.&. D. directory had authorized Ives to purchase 20,000 shares of T. H. & I. stock at not more than $100 per share that be agreed to sell to Ives as trustee 11,160 share3 at $100 that be agreed to sell Ives the 8,840 shares of stock owned by the company which stood in the name of McKeen, as president, at $62.50 per share, and that in consideration of said sale, Ives agreed to pay McKeen individually $331,500 that Ives also agreed to purchase from McKeen individually 4,440 shares of Terre Haute« Logansport stock at the par value of $50 per share, at the price of 50 per cent.. to-wit: $110,150, which stock was of little or no value that Ives agreed to pay McKeen $889,500 in cash and the other half of the $1,116,000 in January, 1888, together with the other sum of §111,600 and that Ives to cover said payments, caused to be drafted and signed the written agreement embodied in the complaint.

In reeard to these charges Master Commissioner Fishback reports as follows" "That McKeen, during the negotiation when the agreement waa signed, had no knowledge or notice whatever of the action of the board of directors of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad Company authorizing Ives, as trnutee, to buy the stock of the Torre Haute Indianapolis Company. "That McKeen made no agreement with Ives in relation to the sale of the Stock of the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Company other tfian tho writtt agreement, signed and dated Juno 1, 1S87. "That McKeen did not agree to sell Ives any of the 8,840 shares of the stock of tho Terre Haute & Indianapolis Company which stood in his name as president, but refused to make such agreement, although solicited to do so by Ives, imd that the allegation that he received, or was to receive, individually, the sum of $331,5000, or any sum, on account of or as part consideration of the sale tolves of said 8,840 shares of stock, is.unsupported by the evidence.

McKeen did agree te sell to Ives

4,440 flb#es of tho Terre Haute & Logansport stoiSt for the sum of $111,150, which sum was'included in the aggregate sum paid and agreed to be paid by Ives to McKe&n, as expressed in the written agreement of June 1, 887, for the 11,1W) shares of Terre Haute & Indianapolis stock nn| the 4,440 shares of Terre Haute & Loganiport stock.

1

I also report and find that the price agreed to bo paid by Ives for the Terre Haute & Logansport stock was its fair value.* •The allegations that the contents and subject matter of tho written agreement, dated June 1, 1887, were concealed from tho officers or directors of the 0., H. & I)., or were unknown to them, is not supported by the evidence. The fact is, the original draft of the agreement was prepared jointly by Mr. Williams, the attorney for McKeen, and Mr. Ramsey, counsel for tho C., H. & D., or the parties who were purchasing the stock. The allegitisns of the complaint as to the payments of cash to McKeen, and the execution of tho promissory note for the deferred payment, and the transfers of the stock certificates, are substantially proved and that the money paid to McKeen was from the treasury of tho C. tl. & D. is true, as shown by tbe evidence but the allegation that McKeen received said mouev in fraud of tho complainant and its stockholder*, and that he knew when he received it that the entire transaction and payment waa illegal and fraadelent, is not supported by the evidence. "It is also true that McKeen held the I ves proxies and voted on them at the election of January '88. It is also true that the resolution of tho C. II. & D. directory empowering Ives to make the purchase at $100 per share for T. H. & I.

Jd not empower him to buy T. H. & stock, but when informed by McKeen and Williams that he must negotiate for both or neither Ives returned to tho East and arranged for the funds to complete tue purchase. The agreement was then drawn up in tliis city bv McKeen and Williams with Ramsey, Short, Waite and Rockwell present all representing the C. II. D. and whatever may have been Ives motives, McKeen action was open and above board. The conduct of McKeen in his efforts to fill his contract te severely criticised by plaintiff, and especially his dealings with the Ladies'Aid Society ot Terre Haute, Tho facta do not justify the criticism. So far as the evidence disdkwes there was nothing in McKeen's conduct or dealings

In the purchase of stock from parties Terto Haute which was unfair or discreditable. The testimony upon this subject waa admitted by the roaster with some hesitancy, and, as it now appears, it would have been more proper to have excluded ii altogether. So far aa the real issues in the case are concerned it is difficult to discover Ui relevancy. I therefore re* commend that the complainant's hill be dismissed for wantof equity."

EVERLY GETS Six YEARS-

ne

jury'* Verdict Soatewbat or a «t»r-

Judge Mack instructed the jury in the of the state against James M. Everly for alleged criminal assault upon Mrs. Clara Van Cleve, at two o'clock yesterday afternosn. About five o'clock a verdict was returned sentencing Everly to six years in the penitentiary. It is claimed that the evidence in the case did not show that Everly was aware of Mrs. Van Cleave's insanity—if indeed she was insane at the time the crime is alleged to have been committed—and if such was the case the jury's verdict is unwarranted.

Suffice to say that not a 'ittle surprise and considerable caustic comment were caused by the decision among many persons who gave their attention to the trial. It is a fact that juries are very unreliable and capricious ia criminaVeaRes. It is bard for the best informed lawyer, who has given a case his undivided interest, to sav, when the evidence is concluded, whether the prisoner will be turned out or get a life-time sentence.

A Snake iu the Water Pipe. An incident happened in The Tribune building which may be an effectual warning against drinking water from open faucets or from any vessel in the dark. Mrs. Finn, one of the women who clean the offices, was drawing water from a faucet at a sink on the seventh floor when she was startled by the sndden appearance of an extremely lively snake about two feet long. Mrs. Finn wasn't? looking for snakes or thinking about them just then, and vhen this one emerged from the fauCtet slie dropped her mop and pail and fled screaming through the corridors and down the stairs.

The janitor finally caught her and obtained a somewhat incoherent explanation. Seising a stout stick, the janitor hurried np to the seventh floor, where he found the snake crawling in lively fashion over the tiled floor. The janitor was not frightened, and he soon crushed tho reptile's head. It was a common water snake, not poisonous, but a decidedly unpleasant thing to come across in water used for drinking purposes.— New York Tribune.

Price of Peanata Going Up. Hard days are coining for those who love to crack and munch the savory peanut, and the small boy especially can prepare for misery, for the price of the peanut is moving skyward. Tho high price is due, it is said, to tho short crops of last year and the year before. The best grade of Virginia hand picked peanuts is now selling at nine and a half cents a pound, and it is stated by dealers that soon tho price will be ten cents a pound. The peanuts coming to this market are mostly from Virginia. The Virginia nut is medium sized, with a well defined and pleasant flavor. Tbe North Carolina nuts are smaller than the Virginia, but havejibout the same kind of inside shell.—New York Times,

The Josophliium Opened. CHICAGO, October 1.7-The Josephinura, a new Catholic institution, founded by the order of the Sisters of Christian charity, and which is in reality an academy for young ladies in which thev can receive not only a thorough intellectual and Christian training, but also several course# in culinary science, was formally dedicated to-day. The Josephinnni is a beautiful structure located on the prairie in tho western section of the city, and, with its erounds. cost one hundred thousand dollars. It has accommodations for seventy-five boarders and two hundred dav pupils. The dedicatory services were conducted by Right Rev. Archbishop Feehan in English, while the Right Rev. Bishop Zardetti, of Saint Cloud, Minnesota, delivered a sermon in German. Zangl festival mass was rendered by Saint Aloysius' choir.

Fighting a Wildcat.

George A. Taylor, an express messenger, had a frightful experience the other night on his run from Kansas City to St. Louis. Among the packages intrusted to bis care was a box containing two wildcats. One of them got out of tho box and sprang at Taylor. The messenger picked up a piece of tarpaulin, which he held in front of him, and its claws became fastened in the canvas. Taylor kicked the brute loose, but it returned to the attack again and again. At last he threw the canvas around the oat, and thus imprisoned he got hold of a coupling pin and knocked it into insensibiiity.—Exchange.

met last night to consider the water

question. AprojjflB of die subject to be considered Judge Jump, the overworked attorney for the water works company, came in with an Umbrella under hts arm. His entree was greeted with smiles and then Mr. Weldele came in good naturedly humming a bit of a song something about Sarah possessing an artificial limb which she will preserve for a future emergency. Grisjrold and Larkins came in and the former called the latter to tbe dark southwest comer of tl room for a moment's private consultat-on. Griswold whispered something in Larkins' ear, Larkins smiled, they shook ha ds and then they left the council chamber. Burnes came in with Store, came up to Haggertv, S]5oke to the party of councilmen, Mayor Danaldson and the reporters with one of his best smiles and then sat down.

Superintendent Lee Williamson was on hand and, Is usual, was in good humor.

Mayor Danaldson said he hoped the gentlemen of the council would rush the matter through as he had "ap engagement" ii" vVhy don't you marry the girl, your honor," queried Deputy City Clerk Piepenbrink. Somebody said something about the lady having a little choice in that matter herself, and the mayor confusedly rapped for order amid a shower of blushes.

There seemed 4,0 be some question as to whether it was a jneeting of the council or a meeting of the committee of the whole. Mr. Storz said that his motion called for a special meeting of the council, but tbe mayor objected, saying that, fiye members had not requested that a cali for a special meeting be extended, and be held. warm, and then the orator from the Sixth rose to his feet and let fall the following startling declaration: "Tho motion was to have the council meet, I care not who says no.

Her parents are greatly distressed.

They fear the child has been abducted by her own mother or by some person intending no good to her. The girl is rather heavv set, well-formed, has a fine head of long blonde hair, a slight scar on the right cheek and blue eyes, which are inclined to be a trifle weak. She wore a light blue dress. The police have been notified.

The-girl was returned to her home this morning. She had remained overnight with a familly in Swaffordsviile. She could give no account of herself further than that she went to tbe home of the parties who returned her sometime yesterday evening. The lamily said she was crying when she came to them. The girl's relatives sav that she feared a whipping at home and ran away.

WHOLE FAMILIES STARVING.

Distressing Condition of Affairs at Calais. PARIS, October 1.—The labor situation at Calais is very serious. Tho lockout of lace workers has left five to eight thousand unemployed, most of them without means of livelihood. The result is widespread destitution and distress. Whole families are starving. An application has been made to the municipal authorities for relief, but they refuse to help the strikers, whom they charge with causing the lockout. Hostility is manifested towards the members of the city government, who are hissed, hooted and threatened whenever they appear on tbe street.

Jim Fitzpatrick's Shortage. City Clerk Duddleston and City Treasurer Hauck think they will be able to report tc the council next Tuesday night the full statement of the shortage of exCitv Treasurer Fitzpatrick covering both terms which he served. There has been a deficit found in tbe accounts of his first term but neither the clerk or treasurer will make any statement of the amount of the shortage. It seems, however, that Fitzpatrick began his infamous manipulations shortly after he took charge of the cityfc money. In order to complete this report to tbe council the clerk and treaourer will be compelled to work every night this week. When the fignres are finally revealed they will doubtless be as great a surprise as wAs the first intimations that Fitzpatrick was a defaulter. It is said that his stealings will run considerably over the original discovery of $13,000.
