Regaled With a Splendid Banquet at the Grand Hotel Magnificent Patriotic Demonstration. Yesterday Cincinnati formally welcomed the traJIitnt heroes of lh Sixth Regiment.

There wu hoim of the hysterical frenzy which characterised the reception accorded the Soldiers when they arrived In the city Tuesday, night, but it was a heartfelt wel- crrm tor all that. It was a great day for the Sixth and for the citizens of the Queen Cty. By unanimous consent the usual half holiday was turned Into a whole holiday. and business was practically suspended. Of course the great feature of the so far av the cltlsens were concerned, was the pa rau.

The Sixth left Camp Wetherlll promptly at 8 a. and the boys were con vy-d in special cars to the head of Hon- enouth street, in Newport, where they begun their march through the city. The Fulton TOuarda Military Band met Chief Dei tic and the police escort at the City Hall at 8 o'clock, and they inarched over to Newport, where they met the Sixth and escorted them to this Hide or TKC ftlVBR. At Fourth and Broadway the parade formed as follows: Fulton Ouards Military Bans. Mounted Police.

The streets alone the line of march were Jammed with patriotic citizens, who vied with each other In tendering homage to THB MASCH1NQ BBROKS. The decorations were superb and Old Glory swung to the breeze from every window, Arriving at the Grand Hotel the Sixth Rejrlment wait banqueted In royal styje. in the afternoon there was a ball game ml Park between teams representing the Sixth Regiment and the First Ohio, and the regulars won.

This concluded the day's festivities. One of the features of the parade was the vehicles of the Ohio Red Cross Auxiliary. In these were soldiers who wsre not able to march. There were refreshments In the carriages, and Mrs. Mary E.

Marshall, President of the society, was In charge. With Miss Vlelotte and Dr. G. W. Lake as assistants.

roEMATioy OCtbe Sixth la fan try In Newport For the Parade. It was 9:15 o'clock when Chief of Police Bennett, at the head of the entire police force, gave the command to move at Kiev enth and Monniooth streets. The intention had been to move the regiment from Camp Wetherlll to the above corner In street cars, and Superintendent Jenkins sent 10 special cars out to the camp for that purpose, but by some misunderstanding tbe command had marched half Way In to Newport when the cars arrived, and they were sent back empty. At Tenth and Moneaouth streets they were Joined by a detail of police under Chief Deltach. four patrol wagons, a squad of mounted police, the Chamber of Com merce Band, the big band of 104 pieces led by Bandmaster Lud wig Klnne.

of the Sixth and the Covington an Newport companies of 'the Second Kentucky Volunteer Infan try. The parade moved north on York street to the Central bridge, and crossed to this aide. All along tbe line the regiment re reived on continuous ovation. There nothing but criticism for the Fire Department of Newport and the men who had charge of the cannon. They made such an infernal din that the music of the splendid big band was entirely lost to peo pie in the vicinity of the Newport Court' bouse.

OVATION Given the Sixth Along the Line of March. It was when the Sixth came along that the pent up enthusiasm burst forth In one great overpowering wave. It. was the Sixth that the people wanted to see, and It was for them that the cheers were reserved. True It la that many of the crowd who as sembled along the line of march yesterday were those who had held the same places on last Tuesday evening, and at that time tfiey had seemed to cheer themselves hoarse.

Nevertheless, Srhen the Fighting Sixth came marching by yesterday the aanie people who had exerted their vocal i organs on last Tuesday were aa enthuel- as tic aa ever and from start to finish the Sixth waa cheered ss never regiment was cheered tn this city before. Riding at the heed of the regiment was Colonel C. W. Winer with his staff. Nearly all of the citizens have come to be familiar with the physiognomy of Colonel Miner, nearly all of them know the man who commanded the immortal Sixth after Colonel Egbert had gone down with what seemed to be a I mortal wound, and aa his familiar features came within sight one tremendous cheer went up all along the line of march.

"Here comes the Sixth," waa all that wa said, yet those few words were enough to stir the -aoula of the people Standing I along the sidewalks, and as the regiment -progressed cheer after eheer went up. of the officers are. well knocsm In this city, and aehey passed shouts of greeting went up from Individuals in the Colonel Miner, with -his staff, consisting of Major CrowelV, Lieutenant Bennett and Lieutenant Schlndel, came first, and re-. calved an ovation, but when Captain Tor- rey, commanding the first battaUon," and Captain Kennon, commanding the second, came along the feverish crowd lost control of itself, and men. and women rushed to hake hands with the two men -who 'did more than their share In the fight at San- tlago.

1 Behind the officer came a column' of men whose looks told a pathetde story. Suffering and privation seemed written on the countenance of every yet these very men hare never been heard to make -'a -complaint. Not one of them has ever come to a weaken. All of them responded with alacrity when the order for-i ward was given at San Juan. They wore their laurels easily yesterday, 1 and did nothing more than smile at the I.

outbursts of an almost frantic populace, "it's good to get back," said one of the enlisted men; "good to feel that the people I- realize that we did what was expected -of us. bat that's all -we did. When the or- der was given to take San Juan Hill we '-went on and did -our share of tbe work, Toothing more." It la this same modest way 'that all of the' officers and men of the Sixth talk of the fighting they did. and. while the people of Cincinnati are anxious to honor tbetn In every way possible, the members of the i seal meat simply stand back and smile, say- Ih fceM nn the recrataticrn UM th Sixth Infantry during tbe last hundred yean, and that la saying enough." 8PLEIDED rAiasnber ghowfac Made By th of Connorcs Mew Directly following the police.

nod heeded by the Chamber of Commerce) Band, cam the members of the CThamiex--of Com mere Oeorge H. Thorns Post and the loung Men's Business Club, and with these organ-rzations ciUzons In general who desired to turn out with parade. There were near ly 200 rn Una. marching four abreast, and was evident- that the members of tba Chamber and citix4b preferred to ba at soma point along the rout and see the famous Sixth Regiment and obeer the boys ae they passed. The first four In tba column was mad up of Grand Marshal John H- Allen and Ms aids, C.

B. Murray, Superintendent of the Chamber of Commerce; J. W. Dunn and Albert Lack man. Following them came Col onel M.

A. Cochran, who, until retired, was the commander of the Sixth Regiment; Colonel H. C. Egbert, who led the regiment un til wounded In the Barrtlago campaign, and Congressman J. H.

BromweU. It waa not known until the Chamber of Commerce members sad rHlzens had marched from the Chamber to Fourth and Broadway, where they were met by these two officers. that they were going to march as citizens. Tlwy decided to-do so, however, and when tlwy made this known a carriage waa Immediately telephoned for, with orders that should mwt the para- at some point and fall In directly behind the police, so that Colonel Cochran and Colonel Egbert might be placed In a conspicuous place where they could he recognized. The carriage could not get through the lines, however, and the two famous warriors marched afoot all the way, as th-y had Intended doing from the first.

this poHltlon, arid In citizens' clothes. they were not recognized by the crowds as much as they would have been had they been placed tijgfs conspicuously. They were satlslled, however, and there was something both slgnillcant and pathetic In this action the two commanders who Insisted on marching on foot in the special escort to the honor of. the regiment over which they nun neen siauoneu lor so long. After the oftlcers came Prv-sideTit R.

WKt. of the Chamber, with Vice f'resldent V. H. Melmh and ex -President Wm. Me- alliHter.

There were other prominent citi zens In line, including M-mbers Amor Smith, and JamA M. fjlenn, of the Hoard of City Affalrm President Robert l-tUdlaw, of the Manufacturers' Club, and President Oeorge M. Verltv. of tha Youiw Men's Business Club. The civic division of the parade formed at 9 o'clock In the Chamber of Commerce, and when the end of the line had been reached they marched back there again; headed by the Chamber of Commerce Band.

THE BAND. Largest of the Kind Kvcr Organized in This Cenntry. Next to the Sixth Regiment heroes the feature of the parade was the great band that preceded the gallant boys in blue. It waa the lurgeHt military band that has ever paraded In this country, and the 173 men produced a volume of sound that surpasmed anything ever heard on the streets of any city of the nited States. All along the line of march the allied bands of Cincin nati met with a most enthusiastic recep tion.

They only played five different marches. "The Stars and Stripes Forever' and "Thb Enquirer March" being the most popular. Bandmaster Kinney, of the Sixth, directed the mammoth so that there could be no suspicion that any of the rival band leaders of the city Weber, Bellstedt, Brand, Schwebel or others were being favored. The men played delightfully. They per.

formed with a dash and power that was in spired by the surroundings, and the fact that they had tendered their services with out cobt. It is singularly true that musi cians play better when they are doing it as a comnllment or labor of love. Joseph A. Weber. President of the Musicians' Protec tive Union No.

1, modestly marched In the rear of the band without his instrument. while George Oobrecht and Steve Bonbright acted as his ald-de-camps. Probably one half of the union did not turn out for vari ous reasons, but tbe Immense number of players testified to the marvelous facilities of this city as a musical center, fjle -band men all wore darx suits, wnite ties ana white caps, which added to their attractive ness, it was a treat sucn as tnis city nas never had before, and may never have again, for to hire such an organization at the regular union prices would cost more than S700. The names of the musicians who took part in tbe enormous band were: Piccolo aa Theo. Hahn.

The police arrangements were perfect, and the streets along the line 'of march were kept clear during the parade. A company of picked men. four patrol wagons and all the mounted men were In the parade. They were headed by Chief Del tech. Cap tain Duffy and Lieutenant Carroll on horseback.

As a cdmpltment to the gallant Sixth the police went over to Newport to meet- them, and Colonel Miner thanked Colonel Deltsch for having brought his men over the river to meet the soldiers, when coronet miner spoke about ItColonelDeltsch said: "That's all right. Colonel; there's nocning too gooa ror tne noys or the Sixth, and we are only too giad to show that we appreciate them.1 On Race street tbe notlrw srava an nhL Mtioa drill, and were roundly applauded by wre eiievuuvfa. GREAT SHOWPfg Made By' the Eighth Regiment Yesterday's Beaded by a man who is entitled to wear a congressional medal for conspicuous bravery -on the Held of battle, but who ap peared in tbe parade of yesterday entirely unadorned, the Eighth Regiment swept over the streets the admired of all admirers. There was something to be learned from watching the Eighth pass; tt demonstrated that properly officered colored men make a magnificent body of troops, and those who saw the march yesterday- were unanimous in their expressions, all of them saying that: It was a model; regiment.

Am wfon as the head of the column reached the hotel tbe corridors were cleared, and within a tew minutes the Sixth came swinging In.

Everything had been prepared for them and in the capacious hails to tbe east of the large corridor the enHsted men found tempting lunch awaiting them. no question asked, tt waa a case of "Boys, help yourselves," and the hearty boys of the Sixth went right straight ahead, just as they did at San Juan. Tbe corridors of the hotel were thronged with prominent citizens, and each citizen was particularly enxiooa to carry otl tbe officers of the regiment to the cafe, where toasts were drunk In every beverage known to the modern barkeeper. Such a Jolly crowd aa gathered at tbe cafe has not been seen in tree Grand Hotel in many a day, and over all the clamor rose tbe hearty cheers from the throats of men who are not at all accustomed to letting their feelings overcome them. No one placed any restraint upon himself yesterday, however.

The citizens were glad to see the officers and the officers were glad to see the citizens, and under such conditions the few hours spent in the Grand Hotel could not be anything but pleasant. It was up In the big private dining room that the most pleasant part of the day was spent, however. Colonel D. C. Shears sounded the assembly for all of tbe officers nhortly after the bells had rung noon, and there was no need for a second call; every one was hungry.

Those who htid the privilege of gathering around the table with the officers yesterday will never forget the occasion. Sitting at the head was Colonel Miner, modest, unassum- lnit. irenlaJ ana Kind. Gathered about him were the men who fought through the Cuban campaign wltn him: all of them heroes, all of them with very little to say about what they had done, There waa Major Crow ell, who left here a Captain, and went all through the hardest of the lighting without receiving a wound: Captain "Hickory Nut" Torrey, who stopped a Mauser bullet on the San Juan hill the is called "Hickory Nut" because he withstood the hardships of the campaign and the horrors of the hospital, and came, out looking exactly like he did when he started Captain Kennon. looking some what a viking Chieftain returned worn but tiiumrhant from a cruise: Lieutenant Purdy, boyish and sunburned, and a look of the greatest happiness on his Napoleonic countenance, and a half dozen other officers, all of whom had weathered the awful stnrm of bullets that rained upon the Sixth when they charged up San Juan hill.

About the table were gathered a few civilians, to whom had been accorded the prized priv ilege of sitting down to dinner with- the officers of the immortal Sixth. Of couree. there were toasts. Mr. A.

fl. Corre acting as Loaetraaster. Long speeches were not suffered, and about as far as tbe majority, of the men who rose to respond to toasts got was to say 'How. Then the health of the Sixth and its officers was drunk with all standing. Colonel Cochran.

the former commander of the regiment, was present, and it seemed exceeding fit that he should offer the toast to the Sixth, at which every man present rose and joined in a hearty cheer. The entrance of Mr. H. F. Farny waa one of tbe happy surprises of the dinner.

He Is an old friend of the majority of the officers of the regiment, and his appearance was greeted wlfh a spontaneous cheer. Mr. Farny was not allowed to leave without mtiklne a soeech. and his remarks unon "The Regular Army" were particularly opportune and happy. After the dinner the officers and their civilian friends took a car for the ball park, where they witnessed the game between the aixtirand the First nines.

The banquet to the officers was given by jxiesara. unp ana onem.ru, ana was sucn a delightful affair as only a well appointed notet iiae me urana can provide. HERO Who Lad Company Up San Juan Hill.

At the head of tlhs company was Captain Kennon. who waa undoubtedly the first man on the crest ofthe hilL He CAPTAIN KENNON. The Man Who Led Company of the Sixth. never asked his men to do anything that he would not do himself. The Captain would make a good member of one of the Wag nerian opera companies; handsome to an Idealistic degree, and possessed of a magnificent bass voice, he seems1lke the reincar nation of some one of the old Vikings, and the very man to lead others In a charge against a storm of death-dealing lead.

It is still the victorious Sixth. Yesterday afternoon the fighting reputation of the gal lant soldier boys was again in evidence, this time upon the bloodless ball field at League Park. In the exciting contest between the teams from the Sixth and the First O.

To this grand undertaking a crowd of about 3.000 enthusiasts lent their presence and en couragement. The attraction sras the base ball garner-hut prior to this the entire regi ment paraded -around the park, amidst' greatest applause of those In the grand stand. The regiment, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Miner, marched, upon the green ball field behind the Chamber of Com merce-Band, and.

Corporal Meyers, of the Sixth Cnited States Infantry, who is at piteeut enjoy Ing-e, furlough and recovering from a gun-hot wound in the foot. In Una city, received during the charge up the Ban Joan Hill, stated yesterday that the regular soldiers have nothing to complain of in connection prtth tba late war. The Corporal says that men mat are sent tfl the front ought to ex pect to face a few hardships, and when they come to meet them without a grumble.

Meyers secured his discharge over a year ago, having served 12 years tn the army, but re-enlisted'when the war waa declared, He says that he experienced far more hardships during the year of 1892 and when In the cavalry branch of the service. At that time he was a trooper tn Troop B. of the Third Cavalry. Their commander was Captain Hardee, and they were stationed on the banks of the Rio Grande, with a territory of 100 miles In length to patrol, from Ft. Macintosh to the Gulf of Mexico.

At this time tbe rebel Garcia 'had organized a guerrilla band, whose object was to over- inrow toe uias uovernment in jaexico, ana the band waa In the habit of sllDDtrur off Into United States territory when too hotly pursued oy Mexican troops.

HUSTOH Placed la Command of Engineers at Camp Meade. A dispatch to The Enqcirstr from Camp Meade, says that the company of engineers from this city, commanded by Captain T. L. Huston, has signally distinguished itself and will in ail probability remain with tbe Second Army Corps for an indefinite time. Some time ago the two companies of the Second Regiment of Engineers stationed at Camp Meade were ordered to rejoin their regiment at Montauk Point, but this order was countermanded upon tbe personal request of Major General Graham, who Is In command at Camp Meade, and who has been very much impressed by the work done by the battalion of engineers from the Second Regiment.

Captain Weber, of Company H. the com pany organised Omaha, has been ap pointed Acting Chief Engineer of tbe Second Army Corps, and Captain Huston has been placed in command of the battalion of engineers. Tbe orders bringing about these changes are regarded ae significant and mean that Captain Huston's company and Che one from Omaha are to remain with the Second Army Corps and will doubtlessly go to Cuba or the Philippine Islands with It-Captain Huston has been signally honored several times by General Graham, and these honors have come simply because of tbe Captain's ability aa an engineer. The request of General Graham that tbe two companies oi engineers be left with, his army corn Is a compliment which few officers have nald to them, and sneaks Toiumes ior tpiui nusron ana ms mag- ninuent company.

One of the most fortunate men of the Sixth was Sergeant Carter, of Company F.

Corporal Meyers was snot In tbe right foot during the charge ea San Juan Hill, and walks with difficulty. Wbea tbe reariment came marchlnsT uo Broadway to the sound of martial music the soldier gave vent to bis enthusiasm in one vocireraus veil, and loudly bewailed the fact that be had no uniform or he would at once Join tbe ranks. He is at present on a furlough, and la making his borne with a brother-in-law in Corryville. The crowd was most dense at Fourth and Broadway, and the sight of a number of ladles perched npon a large cylindrical boiler In front of a scrap Iron establishment between Pearl and Third streets showed to what lengths even the fair sex win go in order to find vantage ground from which to witness a parade. How they had succeeded in climbing to that neigm ana now tney maintained their position after getting there is a mystery.

They had spread dainty handkerchiefs on the rustv Iron and aat in the broiling sun. viewing the parade with complacency. In direct contrast to their elevated and somewhat warm seat was the expedient employed by several Ice men on tne opposite side of the street. '1 lieir wagon had been stopped at Pearl and Broadway by the police, so they simply turned it about, spread tarpaulins over the hug cakes of Ice and sat In the shade of th wagon upon their cool seats. Some one of a sarcastic turn of mind offered them a fan.

but It was not accepted. Some of tbe members of the First Ohio were rather emphatic In their remarks In comparing tbe treatment they received during the parade yesterday in this city to the way In which they were treated by the oeoDle of Jacksonville. durlnrr the grand review held In that city some weeks -go. itiey claimed that tney were formed In ranks at e.

One of the most inspiring scenes of the day occurred in front of The Fair Building, at Sixth and Race streets. When tbe regi ment reached this point a flve-mlnute halt was called.

MYSTERY i Enshronds' Shooting Of Ex-SenaUr Bj Both Sides Refuse To Speak About tie Affair. Haldenun Returned Home Earlj Yesterday Hernia, ISP Bat Is Being Secladed From tit Pnb- lie His Dying Victim Stys Hq Also Best Him. The element of mystery, is greater than ever In the case of the shooting of ex- Senator Richardson by his business part ner and relative, Mr. Haldeman, at their paper mill In Lockland.

last Friday. Some et of a grave nature Is behind It all. but both aides of the case seem determined that It shall not escape. The shots had scarcely ceased echoing in the quiet little village before the curtain of 'concealment was drawn and buttoned. Inside tbe room where the tragedy took place, while the victim was still weltering tn his blood, a sentinel stood refusing all persons admit tance.

The story of the quarrel leading up to the shooting is not generally accepted. The two men were alone when the murder was attempted. Haldeman, the would-be murderer, has always been noted for his quiet and amiable disposition. Connecting him with a ferocious, bloodthirsty attack would seem the height of exaggeration. Tet the facts, as far as known, show him to be thoroughly desperate, indicating either Insanity or a deep-eet resolve to get a personal enemy out of the way.

Haldeman appeared at his home yester day morning, but he was at once SECLCDXD PROM THX rTnTUH His brother-in-law. ex-Assistant United States District Attorney' Harry Pro- basco, announced that he had taken charge of him, and would be responsible for his keeping. No statement of his side of tbe affair was given out. The police authorities in both the villages of Oiendale and Lockland nave declined to move In the matter. That a mur- der had been attempted appeared to have no interest for them.

The same mysterious Influence that closed the blood-bespattered door at the factory seemed to paralyze the arm of Justice. Nor does It seem strange to the people In the Mlllcreek Valley, -where both men are among the most prominent. Unless ex-Senator Richardson has told bis family of the circumstances occurring before the- shooting and he should die. It ts apparent that the secret will die with him. Thus the mystery will remain such until the end unless Haldeman should choose to clear it up.

There are many sto ries rife, but no indorsement of them can be secured. It Is known that Haldeman some eight months ago borrowed money on his real estate in Oiendale, signifying that he needed money at that time. The belief that he Is Insane Is based on the pe culiar ferocity of the assault and his queer actions after its occurrence. Tbe general Impression Is that brooding over' business affairs and a certain extravagance in an other direction was the beginning of the train of evils that led up to the effort at murder. Tbe shooting was tbe sole topic of con- vereattion In the Mtllcreek "Valley yesterday.

The ex-Senator's condition Is very serious. and his physic lane, Drs. Oliver and Heady, say tbe chances of his recovery are very slim. If by chance he should recover. which Is not at all probable, his left i wiU be entirely helpless, as two bullets entered tt, battering an unusually large num ber of bones.

After the shooting Haldeman me to the otty, but Inter was seen in Wyoming by a number of his friends. Early yesterday morning Haldeman STaOOKKCD into his bomb All covered with mud, and said he bad been sleeping under a tree all night. Attorney Probasco called on Mayor Allen, and said that Haldeman was ready to give himself up, but that he was not well and on the verge of mental collapse, and that If he would pot hlra under surveillance at his home be could not escape and be could then have medical aid. Mayor Allen in reply said as yet he know nothing of the affair, and as tbe shooting was done In Lockland he. thought the Lock- land authorities would be the proper ones to take action.

He finally said, however: "Mr. Probasco, If you will give me your assurance that he will not attempt to escape and will be satisfied to remain at his home. think it will be satisfactory, as none of the Richardson family have expressed themselves as wanting Haldeman locked up. It was then agreed that Haldeman should re main at hie home until wanted. Dr.

Oliver, who probed for the ballets, says that five of the missile entered the wounded man Instead of four, as waa mjt first reported. He further said that there Js no doubt in bis mind at an but that Hal deman fired at least two shots- when Richardson's back was turned. "The bullet that entered his. back, lodged in his kidneys, and this is the one that is feared will prove fatal. During Friday night the wounded man called for his ton Charles, and to htm said he knew he was injured seriously, and In all probability fatally, and that he did not want any of bis children to- bear any toward William, as he called Haldeman, and above all things requested him not to let any of hut other sons harm hum Hs also said that after he was shot he attempted to get op, and that Haldeman struck him a number of times with some Instrument that looked to him iy jfruMm.

amass This explains the three mysterious bruises onMr. Richardson's head and nose. Tbe home of the maa la Oiendale Is blockaded to every one, and vehicles are even prohibited from passing tn front ef it. for fear of disturbing hiss," It waa reported that Haldeman's Shoulder is dislocated, and that Dr. Shepherd was attending: htm.

Samuel Bailey and S. McLaren, both friends of the two families, will sign any bond tn ease ef Haldeman's arreet. During rnu; lufui. tne wounaea man set delirious, and at times would ear: "Wlliiam, why did you do it; I thought you were my friend." It was reported that the RIcharason boys had word to Msv Prebaa, wbo hsUlemgn's attorney- and tramer-tet law. W.

DEPOSITIONS Of a Sensational Nature Taken at Tippecanoe City in the Baaghmaa-Arneld Breach er Premise Suit. The celebrated Baughroan-Arnold breach of promise suit, wnloh involves two prom inent families of Harrison. Ohio, sumed a sensational turn. It will be remembered by Birauinxa readers that Miss Gen evieve Arnold sued Baughman, a wealthy farmer, for $10,000 damages for ber lacer ated heart and Injured feelings.

Although Mr. Baughman waa much older In years and experience than Miss Arnold, yet a mu tual admiration had long existed between the couple, and the feeling soon ripened Into love. Baughman's attentions to Miss Arnold were so open as to cause comment, and It wss confidently expected that the court ship would culminate In a marriage. In September. ISO.

Miss Arnold made elab- orate preparations for her wedding, she Informed confidential friends. whlch would come off In some distant city. In accord ance with the wishes of Mr. Baughman. The couple left Harrison, not in company but within a few days of each other.

In few weeks both returned singly. Miss Arnold did not havs the appearance of a happy bride, and it soon developed that the marriage did not come off aa per expecta tion. The mystery of their absence has not been cleared up until now, when sensational disclosures nave been made which explains why David's love grew cold. Last week Attorneys Dudley A Wayne and Alfred Benedict, for the plaintiff, and Louis Reem-slin for the defendant, left Cincinnati on an errand having a startling bearing on the famous case. The lawyers went to Tippecanoe City, Ohio, and were busy for a day or so taking depositions from the landlord and other, parties Interested In a hotel at which Baughman and Miss Arnold are al leged to havs stopped ss man and wife.

The register shows that Mr. Baughman, bad adopted tbe given name of his father. It appears that the couple bad been quar tered at the hotel but a few hours when tbey were Joined by Dr. J. H.

Duncan, of Harrison. His appearance there was a great surprise to the woman. He remained i couple of days, and during his stay th woman was conspicuous by ber absences The doctor left early one morning, carry ing a telescope valise that he handled gin gerly. The woman appeared to be ill, and did not make her entrance Into the dining room for several days after the nhyslcian's departure. The depositions were given readily and willingly, and when made public, coupled with the forthcoming accusation of Miss Arnold, Harrison society will nave received a shock that will be as demoralizing as it win oe suaaen.

Early in the last year of the Civil War Ernst Wagner, a stalwart young man, who lived on Vise street, above Liberty, enlist ed In the Union Army as a teamster, de spite the entreaties and tearful opposition of his father, mother and only stater. He went to the front and was so busy dodging bullets that he neglected to write borne. As he did not return at the end of the war, and no inkling was obtained by his relatives as to his whereabouts, they came to the conclusion that he slept in an unmarked grave in the Southland. Tbe years rolled by and the family was broken up by tbe deaths of tbe father and mother, which oc curredin rrnnid succession, and the mar riage of the-pretty daughter to Fred Tie-fenbach, a worthy young fellow who was employed In Moerlein Brewery.

TOADS Of an Unknown Species Carried To This City By the Windstorm Thursday Evening.

i Yesterday Dr. T. C. Minor presented to the Society of Natural History two toads of very peculiar appearance, the scientists at the headquarters of that society declar ing them to be of different species from any found la this part of the United States, If not strangers to ths entire continent of North America. The toads are about the slse of the full-grown varieties found here abouts, but In color and formation marked ly different.

Where they cams from and bow they are mysteries in keeping with tbe strangeness of their first appear- srrbe and capture. Immediately, after tbe sharp and heavy wind and rain flurry of Thursday evening one of the toads was found near an open window of a room on the fourth floor of the Grand Hotel. Shortly after dark the other was seen hopping about near the corner of Central avenue and Fourth street. Its appearance caused quite a sensation among the group of old citlsens that frequent that vicinity at night. Mr.

Shale Forbus was given quite a start on almost stepping on the toad. and.
