THE ENQUIRER. CINCINNATI, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1894. McNEILL Or the Machine's Money Which Will Be the Winner Next Tuesday? Will Business Men Permit Degradation of the Judiciary? Some Facts and Figures About the Coming special ElectionPolitical Pointers. The impression Is growing that the efforts of the Republican machine politicians may not be able to rave the scalp of Attorney Von Fexern, candidate for the office of Judge of the Insolvency Court.

is a year dr political surprises, and it more possible that in the appears coming special election there will be a complete reversal of conditions, as compared with the recent landslide. The assumption is predicated upon the fact that business men have been known to rise and crush the politicians when the politicians jeopardize or seek 1 to Jeopardize the interests of business men. The taxpayers cannot be relied upon to follow the bell- wether when the issue is not so much one of politics as of commerce. NOW IT WAN CHEATED. The Hamilton County Court Insolvency is a ereation of the last Legislature.

Lawyers and business men agree that such a tribunal, with proper would greatly simplify many mercantile entanglements and hasten the settlement of insolvencies. it would be a good thing for all concernedunder a fair, honest and capable Judge. The act establi-hing the Court of Insolvency was pared by the late unlamented Legi-lature and its prime purpose was not to expedite the settlement of business difficulties, but to' provide a place for some machine politician. Attorney Von Serger was selected by the chief engineer of the machine to be rewarded with the Insolvency Court Judge hip. Had it not been for an oversight in drawing the bill Attorney Von Seggern might have had almost a walkover for the place.

name would have been on the regular Republican His. ticket which was elected last Tuesday by such overwhelming majorities. But the error in the bill made it necessary for Attorney Von Feggern to be a candidate singlehanded against some Democrat at a special election. This 14 fortunate. Polities is no eluded entirely, and the issue is based fairly and squarely upon the records and qualifications of the two candidates.

THE TWO MEN. Hon. Aaron McNeill. Mayor of Norwood, and one of the most eminent attorneys at the bar of Hamilton County, is the Democratic candidate. He has twice been elected Mayor of His village, each time overcoming an enornous Republican majority.

Under his excellent administration Norwood has become one of the most flourishing of Cincinnati's maburbs. and even if Mr. McNeill is defeated for Judge of the Insolvency Court he can comfort himself with the thought that hecan be Mayor of Norwood as long as he wants to. Johni R. Von SeaRern, the Republican candidate.

was nominated for the office and is being pushed for it only because the chief of the Republican machine has political obligationi to discharge. As a State Senator Attornex Von Sergern owed his political existence to the machine, and never it when his Vote or his influence was needed. The Bar Association of Hamilton County. strictly organization. numberin in ranks nearly reputable attorhey in the county, has declared against AtVon Seggern for Judge of tue Insolreney Court.

The reasons assigned the 26. tation are simple and openly avowed. It tated as the conviction of the majority of the members of the association that Aaron McNeill is by far the fitter man for place. even leaving out Senator Von Seggern's portical record. and comparing the candi-.

dates.as lawyers only. The managers of the Republican machine fear an uprising against their candidate. They fear a repetition of the waterworks EVER election, when ail the efforts and money. the machine brought out a bare 10,000 votes. The circumstances here are practically the same.

The enormous campaign fund of the machine organization was scarcely touched at rite last election. At least $20,000 has been saved to be used in carrying Von Seggern through. It will again be a case of the people- against the machine and its money. WILL THEY STAND IT? It remains to be seen whether or. not the people will allow the machine to degrade the Judiciary in order to settle political debts.

The Insolvency Court will be an important tribunal to the business man and the taxpayer. Polities has nothing to do with the case. From the standpoint of a politician Attorney Von Seggern's chances cannot be called flattering. There is bound to be a Vast shrinkage in the Republican vote at this special election. The people who want to rebuke Cleveland will searcely hope to reach him, through Vin On the other hand the Democratic vote will decrease but little.

The faithful who turned out Tuesday to for Milton Turner because he is a Democrat, will. most of them. be on hand next Tuesday to vote for Aaron McNeill because he is a Democrat.

HERE THEY ARE. The Additions To the Hospital Staff Named at Last. The reorganization of the medical staff at the City Hospital has at last been made.

and the disciples of E-culapius who have received recognition are accordingly happy. On the other hand, there are several di-appointed physicians in town.

Masonic Funeral of the Late Charles Brown. Elaborate Floral Decorations and Imposing Ceremonies at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Beautiful and impressive in the highest degree were the funeral services over Mason.de the late Charles Brown, at the Scottish Rite Cathedral, yesterday afternoon. scene during the ceremonies was a 'nost imposing one. Fully 1.000 Masons from Cincinnati and other cities were present.

The conn stood directly in front of the stage. It was a plain black cloth-covered casket with eliptical end- and six cloth-covered handles. on the lid was an oxydized plate bearing the inseription: CHARLES BROW Born September 2, 1524. Del November 6, 1834. The lid was partly drawn down.

and through a glass covering could be seen the familiar face with its snow white beard. The kindly features of the old gentleman appeared little changed, as he seemed to be only in a peaceful sleep. Above the casket was thrown the black cloth pall of the Scottish Rite, fringed with silver, while on the part hanging over in front was displayed white skull and cross-bones. At the head of the casket stood two black cloth-covered triangular stands, and a similar one was at the foot. On each of the three stands burned a tall white taper.

In striking contrast to this weird sight at the coflin was the beautiful scene on the stage directly behind it. The front of the stage was adorned with large, handsome floral pieces representting Masonic emblems, resting on easels of terns and evergreens. At the south end was a piece consisting three triangles intertwined, made of white immortelles, with the figures in evergreens in the center. This tribute was from the Ohio Grand Consistory of the Scottish Rite, of which the deceased was one of the charter members. Next to this was the offering of the Shriners -a mammoth claw upside down made of evergreens, with the letters, M.

(Nobles of the Mystic Shrine) in white immortelles in the center, and beneath them a huge bunch of white roses. AND CROWN. The most imposing floral gift was a gigantic crown over three feet in diameter and about three feet high. It was made of hundreds of white immortelles, and in it rested a tall cross of evergreens. This beautiful piece was from the Supreme Council.

Grand Inquisitors General, To the north of this was a large triangle of white immortelles, with the word on one side and on the other. This WAS sent by the bio Grand Lodge F. and A. of which the deceased was Treasurer 19 years. On the extreme north side of the stage was a piece composed of a white immortelle compass and a square of evergreens, crossed, the tribute of Cynthia Lodge No.

Mack stated that this ring had been be-. stowed on Mr. Brown while he was kneeling before Scottish the altar, in Columbus, to receive the Rite degrees on December 17, 1852.

As his son is a Scottish Rite Mason he already has such a ring, and, therefore, it was given to his grandson, in accordance with his dying wish.

GAME WARDENS. A Police Investigation on Foot as To Their Methods. There promises to be some interesting dis. closures regarding the doings of Gume Wardens in this vicinity as an outcome of the action of young Ed Altemeler, of Central Fairmount, in cansing the arrest of Warden John Morris on a charge of shooting at to kill. Chief Deitsch has taken hold of the matter and an investigation has been set on foot which promises some rich developments.

Last Sunday young Altemeier, whose home is on Harrison avenue, Fairmount, took shotgun that had just been repaired, and loading it at his home. went with neighbor boy into the woods to be away from any house, discharge the weapon and test it. Before they had reached the foot of the hill two men carne running toward them and frightened the sinaller boy by having a drawn revolver. Altemeier ran, whereupon one of the men shot at him. He heard the singing sound of the bullet just above him and ran the faster.

The man then called "Stop! and applying a vile epithet to the fugitive fired again and ran after him, calling, in the same manner. to him to halt, fring two more shots as he ran, or four in all. The last shot came so close that Attemeter felt the wind of the bullet in front of his face. The man then returned to where he had left the other boy in the custody of his companion and demanded to know where the young man who had eacaped lived. He went to Altemeier's house and told the latter's people that be was a Game Warden.and unless they came down to Joan Rayborn's, No.

486 West Third street, in the city, that night and nixed the inatter up a warrant would sworn out for him for illegal hunting. His parents sent down the next day to ascertain what it was necessary to do. A man calied at the office of Wm. F. Chambers, attorney for the Altemeiers.

and said the have to be Axed that day or a warrant would be issued for the arrest. of Altemeier, the warrant will be issued from Mt. Washington." He would not stale what waS necessary it up, simply saying, on Mr. Rayborn." As Altemeier's parents did not call, a warrant for Altemeier's arrest was Issued by Squire Garrett, of Mt. Washington, having in his possession, in the open air, for the' purpose of hunting, the implements for shooting, to-wit, a shotgun, and aid bunt on the first day of the week, called Sunday.

There is only one train a day each way to Mr. Washington. 1 The law as passed April 25, 1893, gives the Wardens one halt of the amount that inay be collected on a fine. and by, an act passed April 11, gives the Justice of the Peace absolute final Jurisdiction. The penalty is not less than $25 and not more than $100 for the first offense, and double that amount for each subsequent arrest, and to stand committed to jai! until paid.

Men are selected all over the county to act as assistants to the County Warden. As these Game Wardens go in pairs, their testimony. as against any one person, prevails. In other instances people, rather than sub.nit to the annoyance of being compelled to go to the other end of the county, will probably pay 8 cash consideration to the assistant. The mutter of cases being has been called th attention of Chief Deitsch, a brother of Ed yesterday detailing to of a man to their circyinstance attorney, Mr.

Chambers, as the Chief the regarding the visit stated abore. The Chief has promised to sift the matter thoroughly, and if there has been a shake down' system in operation somebody will hear from him. John Grimsley, Oscar Amerigan and a man Meyers claim that two weeks 820 last Sunday Rayborn arrested them. but let them go upon the payment of $7 50. Rayborn, who 14 employed as a detective by the Big Four Road, is also Game Warden for this dis.

trict. He claims that Grimsley wrote him a letter, demandinz discharged money, it it and was not threatening forthcom- to ing. Rayborn says that he had Grim-ley arrested and bound over by Squire Garrett, of Anderson's Ferry, for attemptinz blackmail. The letter Rayborn claims to have turned over to the Government officials. A GANG of Bicycle Thieves Being Run Down By the Police.

For several days the police have been working on information which led them to hope that they would run down a gang of bicycle thieves. The gang is supposed to have had its headquarters in this city for some time. During the last few weeks a number of bicycles have been stolen, and the detectives who were detailed on the cases came to the conclusion that the work was being done by the same They were not successful in recovering any of the whee's, and this aroused the suspicion that the bikes were being sent to another city to be sold. Last Wednesday Detectives Strieff and Moses ran across a colored man who was trying to dispose of a the bicycle close in various pawn shops. Owing to watch kept by the transactions of this kind he was unsuccessful, and still had the wheel in his posses.

sien when he was caught. He was taken to police headqnarters, and gave his name as Leslie Letcher. The wheel was identited as one which had been stolen from in front of the Pike Building. Letcher said a white man he knew as Euward Smith had given him the wheel. He -aid Smilh was about 22 years of age and could be found at a house on East sixth street.

His story was not believed, but later developments showed that it was true. The derectives found Smith and locked him up. Through him two other stolen wheels were traced. He was charged with grand larceny, and the colored man was released. The police are watching several persons who are supposed to belong.

to the gang which Smith operated with. and some surprising developments are anticipated. A FRAUD Who Claims To Be an Agent of the Franciscan Fathers. A very slick individual has been victimizing a large number of people in different parts of the city during the past few days, and reslized quite a sum from unsuspecting persons. The man, who is described as an undersized fellow with a glib and persuasive tonzue, has been making a canvass from house to house representing himsell a- a book agent, claimjug that he is selling his wares for the beneft of the Franciscan Fathers, and that he was connected with St.

Francis'- Church. on Vine and Liberty streets. His knowledge of church affairs and evident acquaintance with high church dignitaries made it an easy matter tor him to gain the confidence of those he approached. It is unnecessary to say that he obtained good prices for everything he sold and reaped quite a harvest. By the sheerest accident the fraud was di-corered, and the Franciscan Fathers are extremely antious to see the impostor in the clutches of the law.

They heve notifled the authorities of the matter. and in event of his arrest he will be prosecuted to the full extent. "THERE's no such word as fail" in the baking with Dr. Price's peerless powder. A STREET-CAR FIGAT.

Superintendent Smith and Humane Officer Nunn were passing the corner of Central avenue and Ninth, when they caught sight of a norel entertainment furnished by Charies Adans and a man named Cannon. In the large storeroom they had an ape chained to large box. They sold bails to customers at three for a nickie, offering a prize to the person who could hit the animal. The monk was successful in dodzing the balls at times, but was hit quite frequentiy. The officers interfered and put a stop to the sport.

The Mother Whom She Had Mourned as Dead Found Keeping a Low Resort in This City.

A story in which virtue and chastity rose paramount above the love for a parent came to the surface at Central Police Station last evening. A young girl in the flush of womanhood. who for nearly a score of years had been led to believe that her mother was resting beneath the sod. when confronted with the true state of affairs and told that the parent she had mourned as dead was alive and leading a life of shame. looked appealingly around, shrieked aloud and then swooned away on the arm of Night Chief Renkert.

This unusual and touching scene was enacted in the office of Chief Deisch shortly before 8 o'clock last evening. Ir was dramatic in the extreme. When the young girl, on whose cheeks the tinge of robust health and virtue beamed, Anally recovered and overcame her emotion she cried in a voice of anguish; "I will not see her-take me away! Let me out of here!" "But." said Lieutenant Renkert, "your mother is dying, and her last request is to see you." cannot go: I will not see her," the girl again exclaimed. The explanations which later followed bad the desired effect, and the girl visited her mother for the first time since babyhood. A STRANGE LIFE STORY.

The facts leading up to the above climax are as follows: Some 20 years ago there residedtin Chillicothe, Ohio, Jacob Sprouse and his wife. After two years of wedded bliss a child WaS born, in the person of Miss Cora Sprouse, who figured in the case last evening. Soon after the birth of Cora a quarrel arose between the parents, which later resulted in a separation. Mr. Sprouse continued to reside at Chillicothe, and for a time cared for Cora.

When the latter reached the age of reason she was placed in care of a family in that city, where she has since lived as a domestic. Mr. Sprouse then left for the East. and Mrs. Sprouse went South.

The latter came to this city several years ago under the assumed name of Ada Fitch. In her journeys she had fallen by the wayside, and on her arrival here opened up a resort on George street. Of late Miss Fitch, as she is known here, has been ailing, and yesterday alarming symptoms manifested themselves. Thinking that her time had come her mind reverted to the fair-haired toddler -he years before had deserted. and her one desire was to see her once more.

Henry Gabel, who has a meatstore at 418 West Third street, was intrusted the mission of bringing the daughter to this city. HIS PLANS The failure of his plans led to the expose and scene of last evening. Gabel had telegraphed the girl in Chillicothe, but failed to meet her at the depot. Miss Sprouse came as per instructions, arc. meeting cabman.

told him to drive her to the house of her mother. and whose name she said was Mrs. Sprouse. Instead of giving the number of the George street house occupied by "Miss Fitch." the girl gave another numter, which resulted in her being taken to another disreputable place. There the girl.

little thinking of the surprise and shame in store for her, asked to see her mother. The landlady of the house, thinking the girl but shamming and being of the really desirons notifed of becoming an inmate place. the of the Fourth District Police Station. omeers Horn and Smethurst responded and escorted the girl to the office of Chief Deitset. There the true story developed, and Miss Sprouse gave vent to her feelings.

During the examination of the girl in the Chief's office, ho should put in an in appearance but Butcher He stood the doorway, and, calling to the girl. demanded that she follow him. Lieutenant Renkert and Detective Fisher recognized him atonce, and brought him before the girl. His connection with the case. was expiained to her, and the poor girl gave way to a flood of tears.

Gabel was generally scored by the police, and later ordered from the office. Lieutenant Renkert. after a talk, fually induced the girl to see her mother. He accompanied her. AN AFFECTING MEETING.

When the mother's eyes rested on her daughter she fairly leaped from her couch. screaming at the top of her voice, "My The girl, who did not seem to realize the case in all its detail-, coud not restrain herself, and began crying, Slowly she approached the beside, crying: "Is this mother?" The two were left in each other's embrace for a few minutes, but Cora could not content herself. and asked to be taken from the house. When the Fitch woman saw her going through the door she cried: stay with me, and you can have the house. my money and Her daughter.

bowerer. paid no heed to her appeal, and left the house. Lieutenant Kenkert accompanied her to Gerdes Hotel, where she put up for the night. Miss Sprouse says she win leave for home in the morning, and will have nothing to do with her mother. With the closing of the above scene, Butcher Gabel came to the house and began for moving out.

He was ejected by the police. but raised such a racket that he was arrested. When searched at the station a number of bills were found on him. which seemed to indicate that he had an interest in the place, and a charge of keeping a house of ill-fame was placed against him. Mrs.

Sprouse, alias Pitch. was sent to the hospital in Patrol 1 on a like charge. Her condition is serious, and the chances are that she wi.l not recover. It's sheer waste to use low grade baking powders. Dr.
