Murder Case Brevities. AN AUSTRIAN BOND LOTTERY. Detective Charles Nordrum, of the Central Station, yesterday afternoon arrested Alexander Z. Zoiakey and Herman Wedoawetler, on a State) warrant sworn oat by Max Henlein, a German bntchet, living at Kensington, charging them with conducting a lottery. Zeiabey and Wedee-weder are agents in the employ of the European Bond and Security Company, a corporation doiug business on the third floor of the btaata Zeitung Building, on the oorner of Washington street and Firth avenue.

The company, while ostensibly a banking institution, really liotbing more than an agent of the various German and Austrian "Uoce" scheme. The principal stock in trade of the European Bond and Security Company is said to consist of mammoth blocks of Antttriaa lottery bonds, issued by the Austrian general government and the nnmeroos municipalities of that empire. For the past two centuries Austiia lias been raising money on those bonds, and the scheme, though well understood in the continental exchanges, is a comparanvely unknown institution here. The plan is worked in this fashion: Austria is pressed for a sum of money for government uses, say 200,000,000 florins. Instead of negotiating the loan at an interest of 5 per cent or more, it issues bonds, in denominations of from 5 to 500 florins.

The interest on florins would be 10,000.000 florins. The bonds are all numbered and put in circulation, principally among tue poorer classes. Instead of paying an annual interest of 10,000,000 florins on the loau made, half that amount is set aside for premiums on the issued securities. When series of the bonds are about to be taken np and paid, the nuniUers'of the bonds are pat into one wheel and numbers representing an aggre gate of 5.000,000 florins deposited in another wheel. The bond numbers are drawn as are the prizes.

When the latter are exhausted, the bonds remaining are taken up and redeemed at their face values. Thus a lOO-florin bond liiay be twenty years without drawing any in- tercet, but eventually it is called in and redeemed at its nominal value. The European Bond and I Security Company dealt mostly in thisi paper. Their plan of sale was ou the "installment" plan. As in the ease of Henlein, offers are made for the sale of the bonds on the monthly payment system, and in this manner considerable nf an advance on their iace value is obtained.

Honloin tired of his bargain before tne bond had been wholly purchased and 'made a kick." -Kraua, Mayer A Stein, who represent the de- fondants, claim tnore is nothing illegitimate in the transaction. The bonds are bandied by every batik of any note in the world, aud, in fact, were received here through a local bank tnd its correspondent in Vienna. "As to the definition of lottery, aa applied in this the matter has been tried and settled by the highest court in New York the Court of Appeals. II was held by that tribunal that, since the bonds represented their face values, and were secure for ultimate redemption, thero was not that element of chance in the original investment which the lottery laws seek to prohibit" FOR THE BOY. A Utile fair-haired German boy sat in Judge Clifford's court 'room yesterday, biting alternately his naste and a large rosy apple, and uW terly cnconcsrns'l in the discussion going on over his status jbotwocn lawyers Fisher and Solomon.

He Fisher ecpresentod the boy's mother, lira. ElenoraHlcdik. and Mr. Solomon argued for his lather, Ernot Melaun. Both want the bov, nd both are determined to ae-sure him if theyoati possibly do so.

Mrs. Hledik. is at present living with Mr. tnd Mrs. ijorflni! at So.

778 Chicago avenue, eame to AmeHca'froin Treaburg, Hungary, two rears sgoi to and little Ernst's father. She brought tbe fw With her and asked Melaun to belp her to support him. A few days after ber arrival Meiaou ber to let him take little Ernst, who wus alien not quite 8 years old. for a He never brought the boy Jback, 1 'anil his mother bas only been alloWgd1 to speak to him three times since that day. A abort time ago Mrs.

Hledik kidnaping the boy. The ease was brought before Justice Lyon, 'but she faded to obtain ber child. Now she is trying to induce Men Clifford to xoroe Melaun to give him and Mr. and Mrs. Koama are helping ner in uie eww Tbe woman waa examined and cross-exam ined by the lawyers yesterday for two or three Honrs, lnrougn an interpreter sne tola her tory.

It appears tnat in 1 1 0 she was married to her husband 'in Treaburg, but they bad no enddren. On tbe 27th of April, 1878, Hledik left ber and' stayed away two years. In the meantime sue met Melaun, who was then a soldier iu the Austrian army. Nearly ten months after her husband's departure little Ernst was born. She acknowledges that Melaun waa tbe child's father, but Melaun left Treeborg and came to Chicago, and Mrs.

Hledik had to support her child. As her Lusbaudhad died in. the meantime, and she was in poor circumstances, she worked as a domestic in a nobleman's family, leaving little Ernst with bis father's parents. She regularly paid for his board, however. When the boy was about -f years old she received a letter from Melaun saying that if she would come to America he would Biarry her and look after their boy.

She at once' made preparations to cross the ocean, and two years ago arrived in Chicago was met at the depot by Ernst Melaan. and his brother John, bbe went to stay with Mrs. Bosnia, and two days afterward Melaun kidnaped the boy, and ret used to have anything more to do with iher, because be was living with a woman named iiotty Schackerslehner. 'lt would have been a good thing to keep this case out of court," said Judge Clifford, "it can only injure the child. Mr.

Fisher waa of tbe same opinion and so waa Mr. Salomon, wnowas inexpressibly grieved that the child should be forced to witness bis mother's blushes. But neither of the lawyers felt the slightest compunction about going intopartic-ulara, aud Mr Fisher waa extremely anxious to show the court that Betty and Melaun were not fit custodians for a boy of ten. Mrs. Bosina was asked what she knew about the case.

She said that after the boy bad been takan away, Mrs. liledik wanted to go with Melaun and him, nut John -Melaun interfered and, slapping bis brother in the face, called him a miserable whelp, and told Mrs. Hledik that if she went to Ho. 308 Wells street, where Betty waa living, she would be as bad as he was, Edward Betuer was then called upon to testify. Betner once lived in the same house with Melaun iud Betty.

He said that Melaun. Betty and her husband, Henry Schackeralehner, all lived together on terms of easy familiarity. "Did Melanw -and Betty occupy the same room!" asked Mr. Fisher. "Yes.

answered the witness "and Henry slept la. another room on the same floor." Betner that to all appearances Mrs. Sohackerslehner was a most respeetablo lady, but yesterday morning she was divorced front ber husband on the ground that he had given per over to toe otner man." After the lawyers bad finished questioning the witnesses Judge Clifford took little Ernst in band, and tried to find out whether be waa well treated by his father. The boy said he loved bis father, and didn't want to go back to his mother, la view of tbe circumstances surrounding tne ease, however, tbe Judge decided to continue it tin til Monday. To-morrow Mrs.

Hledik will be allowed to see ber child alone, a privilege whicn she alleges baa been denied ber by Melaun aud his lawyer. MAKINGTHE FEATHERS PLY. If Chicago can not claim John I Sullivan. she ean claim the champion chicken-dresser of the worn in the person of Jacob T. Dundore, who says he can prepare 100 scalded chickens for the market in thirteen minutes and fifty seconds.

Last night Billy Dundore, the champion's brother, waa to have drosaed chickens against F. Wilson, of St Louis, for $100 a tide. Tbe St Louis man didn't turn up, how-ever, and for quite a little while thero was pan- monium at Schneider's Hall, Wisconsin and J.rtbee itrcete, wherf th ttatvh to hTS TTTE DAILY IOTEB OUEA2T, SATUTOAT APRTIi 23, 1888 SIXTEEN PAGES. taken place. Tbon the champion himself appeared ou the stage, and.

in order to sare the audience from disappointment, offered to race his brother at dressing chickens in a friendly way. Billy took the challenge up, and for a few minutes the featiiers flew all over the stags like wi Id-fire. As Jake's bands were rather sore he didut make very good time, only dressing 25 in 44 minutes. Billy came near making the match a draw by dressing the same number in 41-j minutes. Before the assembly dispersed, George A.

Fischer, a ohicken dresser on tbe West Side, offered to arrange a match with the champion, to take place within three weeks, for $100 a side. The offer waa accepted. Fischer is more modest than Jake, and ouly claims the championship of America, but be says be ean beat the proud possessor of the belt (a mythological emblem) hallow, if be is given a fair show. VALUE OF AMERICAN STOCKS. John Peter Grant, of London, Is the representative of a English syndicate that has agreed to buy the Bissiok gold and sdver mines, in the Guerida district of Colorado, for 1,000,000.

He arrived at the Grand Paciflo yesterday, and to-day be will meet Denis Ryan, of 8k Paul, io negotiate an extension of time of the bond given by tbe capitalists. Ha was asked now the English regarded American investments. He said: "American securities were placed in very bad Odor by the floating of worthless mining and railroad shares, and the imposition upon the English public of wild-cat schemes of all sorts. Sevoral things have worked to correct this view. The- business of America is believed to bo in a healthier condition than ever before.

The course of Congress in dealing with industrial matters bas been reassuring. The adoption of the interstate commerce law baa set railway securities upon their oct by insuring the abolition of ruinous rate wars. The effect of this law bas already become evident in the paying of dividends by certain roads that nover paid a cent in yoars. There is new confluence in railway stocks and bonds. "There are millions of miliums of pounds of 'money in England which do not earn mors than 2a per cent per annum.

There is practically no limit to the capital which may be raised for any promising enterprise. Capital is eager and begging for interest Two yoars ago Sir Arthur Guineas, the bead of the brewing Arm, decided to transfer the business to a stock company. Under the system in vogue in England, two-, thirds of the stock must be offered npon the open market It is not possible, aa here, for owners or an estantisnment to retain all the stock in their own hands. In this case probpootuses were issued bv the thousands, announcing that the stock books for tue tu.wu.uuu capital would be opened at Daring Bros, on a certain day. Before the time came the excitoraont had 'run so high that ooDies of the prospectus, which had formerly been scattered broadcast, sold readily at from a shilling to a crown.

On the day of opening the subscriptions amounted to twenty times the 0.000,000. Of this sum tbe Guin nesses took 2.000,000. and with some favoriteism apportioned the rest A man who had subscribed for 100.000 got 10,000. Ine favorite Investments in England are mining properties, railway bonds, and the stock of loau companies. The stock of English insurance com ponies doing business in America is also very popular.

SHREWD REAL ESTATE SWINDLE. Charles A. and James H. White were charged before Justice B. H.

White with conspiracy and forgery in a suspicious real estate transaction. and held to the Criminal Court in $1,200 bonds each on two charges. County Commissioner Tom Posonan and other witnesses testified that six months ago Herman of Lansing, bought two lota on West Madison street, between Forty-first and Forty-second streets. Soon after ht decided to sell them, and put them into the hands of Cremin it Brenan to dispose of for $2,400. A few days later, the prisoners approached Mr.

Brenan aud talked about buying the property, but tuouh they finally decided to take the lots the bargain was never consummated. One day Mr. Brenan was looking at the published list of real estate transfers and, to bis surprise, found that the two lots bad beon sold by Mr. Schiorholtz to the Whites. He thought something was wrong and tekigraphed to Mr.

Senior holu, who replied that he had not sold the property. Mr. Brenan then visited the ttooord-er's Othco. aud found that the transfer was made out on the stationery of Baird Bradley, the real estate and loan dealere, at No. 00 La-hade street.

He went to their nuice and fouud that James aud Charles Wnito had in their ofnoe bargained with a man they introduced as Schier-holtz for the lots. The trade waa made and the tranafor waa'writton out in Baird A. Bradley's office. April 10, tbe two purchasers came in aud asked for a loan of $M0 on the property. They talked to Mr.

Bradley, and two days later arrangements were maue for the loan for three years, at 7 per cent interest and 2 per cent commission. The notes were made out and signed, and the two men were to return in the atternoon and get their money. In the meantime, however. Mr. Brenan made bis discovery, and the Whites walked into tbe hands of Officers Hartmaa and Wilev.

The prisoners, uncouth looking fellows, with horny bands and brown faces, said that they were laborers. Charles came here from Sheldon, 111., and James cams from Kansas City, where he had earned a living on river steamer. By fourteen years' bard work be had saved $1,200. With this he came to Chicago, and here he met Charles, whom he had not seen for a dozen years. He said Charles claimed to be his brother, and he supposed he was, but oonld not be sure.

Cnarles was stopping at the Globe Hotel, and James joined him there. One evening a gentleman approached him on State street and said that his name was Schierholtx He had heard that James wanted to buy some property, and offered him two lots on West Madison street White was told to go to Cremin it Brenan a office and look up tiis lota "Suierholta" said that he did not care to 1 go to the oflice. as the firm would charge him a commission. White looked up the lots and met "Schierholtz," with whom he went to Baird A Bradley's office and drew np the transfer. The following evening they met again and down to tbe lake frout where, bu one of the benches, the money was counted out and the sale consumated.

White said that he soon found that he had to have some money for taxes, and as Baird A Bradley was the only firm he was acquainted with in Chicago he went to them for tne loan. SERIOUS OFFENSES CHARQED. Colonel James G. Dwen, the real-estate dealer and capitalist, was before Justice Brayton yesterday afternoon to answer to the charge of illegitimate parentage, preferred by Elizabeth Keirle, a domestic formerly in his employ. Attorney James Darlow, for tbe defense, asked for a change of venue so Justice Lyon, and the prosecution took a non-suit Thursday night Mr.

Dwen was arrested on a warrant sworn out before Justice Brad well, charging him with aa attempt to commit an abortion. The case waa set for hearing May 4, in bonds of $1,000. After a non-suit was taken before Justice Brayton, Miss Keirle and her friend. Mrs. Salisbury, of No.

156 South Green street, went to Justice Prindivillo's court where another warrant on a- charge of illegitimate parentage was sworn out Mr. Dwen was rearrested, and the case waa set for bearing May 7. The charge of attempted abortion is based on Miss Keirle's statement that Dwen, on hearing of her condition, gave her some medicines to bring about a miscarriage. A prescription which; it is alleged, is in Dwen'a handwriting, is held as evidence by the prosecution. Mr.

Dwen refused to talk about tho case, and Ma attorney. Mr. Darlow. said; -Wa tin not care to try tbe ease in the newspapers. We have our defense, and will say what it is at tbe proper time.

For the present we will not expose our position and allow them to take advantage of it Miss KairU can well afford to make her side of the ease public, as sympathy is always with tbe woman in such cases. How ever, we are innocent, and will prove it at the i proper time." Miss Keirle has commenced a suit in trespass in the Circuit Court, and claims $25,000 dam ages from at. Dwen, A WOMAN IN THE CASE.

Assistant State's Attorney Elliott spoke for three hoars in the opening address and waa followed by Edmund Fnrthman, who also consumed three hours. Both man went over the evidence carefully and proved conclusively to their own satisfaction that the -prisoner was both insane and sane. Frank Walker, who followed, spoke three hours and a halt Ha paid a glowing tribute to Fnrthman for his untiring seal in the case. "When the vindication of his (Bunch's) disease shall come, and tiod knows it will," said Mr. Walker, "the prisoner ean thank Mr.

Furthman for it If any man ean get at the truth when it is hidden, that man ia Fnrthman. He it is who has established tbe hereditary insanity of this mou."

Dr. R. P.

Mareonx, a dentist, whose office ia located In the Standard Theater, on Halsted street, is well acquainted with Mgr. Leon Boa-laud, the Catholic priest who has lately Joined the Episcopal Church. Dr. Mareonx says he came to Chicago from Central Falls. B.

where he was born and brought up. A few years ago thore came to Central Falls a Catholic priest named Leon Bouland. He waa about 38 years old. and was anything bnt a priest in actions. He was located at Central Falls about two years, and conducted himself more like a sport than a clergyman.

He caused dissension in the church, and finally had to leave on account of some trouble ha got into. Dr. Mareonx said ha alwaya thought Per Boulund would renounce tbe church and go into the saloon business, for which he seems more suited. He waa surprised when he read in Thk IxTia Ocxaji that he had entered the Episcopal Church, ana tninks it was only done as a sensational move, and does not believe he will stick. Dr.

Mareoux considers Fere Hya einthe and Fere Chiniquy honest ia their withdrawal, bnt considers Per Bouland only a sensationalist He has no influence with the French people, and dare not show himself at Central Falls again. i CIGAR STUMP CIQARETTES.

Wlute yesterday that she had a sick mother at No. l'JJ West Taylor street, and waa picking op stumps for ber support Justice White asked ber if she went to school, and she replied that she did not. bnt eould read and write Italian, An old Italian woman said that she would care for the children and keep them off the street Jostles White allowed her to do so, threatening nerwitaafiu una iney were Drougnt in again.

"THE HUB" ANNIVERSARY. Yesterday waa the first anniversary of tho opening ot "The Hub clothing store, at the corner of State aud Jackson streets. The store was handsomely decorated with flowers and plants, and a prominently displayed floral design Anniversary 1888." "We have had twice the crowd I anticipated." aaid Mr. Levy. "The store has just been all day.

When we came np here some thought it too far away from the clothing center, bnt we have sold ou close margins, and have alwaya kept our promises to the public, and the result was tuai wnen we aaveruzea tnat we wonia cat prices jnst in half, they knew we would, and so the crowd came. We have leases now for two additional store-rooms, and propose to push things the coming year more than we have in the year past, and we don propose to take a back seat for anybody. We go on the theory, yon know, that if yon make small profits you wdl make more saiea, and thna you make np in volume what you dispense with in tbe sis of the profits. We are more than satisfied with onr anniversary sale, and yon may look for bigger time even next year." BREVITIES. Her Child sand Her.

Tha contest in the Fourth Congressional Dia-trict between Adama and Waahburne waa a hard and close one. Mr. Adama waa badly left in the city, but Evanston. Jefferson, aad Lake View catne gallantly to bis rescue and gave him a total of 3U delegates to Mr. Washourne's 32.

EIUHTEKKTH If numbers and euthuaiaam count, tbe old Eighteenth waa the banner ward in yesterday's Congressional election. From noon Until 7 clock tue battle between the warring factions waged without even a temporary cessation. The polls at tha North Hide Turner Hall wereopened ai Boon anarp, mil uam containing ouu i bad already formed, imrmg the seven hours that were given to tha Ba-publican voters of the old Eighteenth to record their preference in Congressional can- didatc.ijsortn ciark street, near unieago ave nue, was ttronged witn men awaiang tneir torn to vote; 1 The tide' of enfranchised humanity ebbed and flowed aa voters past mad way for voters present, every man oerore casting bis ballot was aerutiniked carefully by the friends of either candidate, and woa to him who, once being sowpected, had no friends to swear to his true Bupublicanism and residence. For every, vota oast yesterday, in tha okl Eighteenth, two would-be voters were'" turned away. Both sides claimed fraud and corruption and tbe Washburn faction during tbe entire day claimed tbev were not being given a fair show.

The followers of Congressman Adama returned this charge by claiming that repeaters and non-residents were being worked in to help the opposition. It seams improbable that tha great number of voters whose qualifications were questioned by the judges, came to vote honestly and fairly. But on the other hand, the frieuds of both candidates were so- numerous and their acntiny of eacn woma-oa voter so tnorougn. tha--faad anoet have been dis covered before an illegal voter had chance to get into line. The majority of the votes in the Eighteenth were cast by the better class of residents of that aristocratic portion of ths citv.

Well-known financiers, lawyers, and jurists tostied shoulders witn proieasionai politicians. and waited patiently their turn to east a ballot for the man of their choios. An effort waa made to lessen the ennui of the weary crowd with music from peregrinating ban da, but Harmony ont ot place on an occasion of this kind. The voters had eome for business and ware not to be diverted from their object Among tne lesser rows that arose from an effort to free the line from illegal voters, waa a akirmian tnat came near aepriving air. Adama of one of the most aesloos of his aides.

Mr. Harper, tha bridge-tender at Clark street bridge. entered into an argument with a worker named Beardon. The argument ended with blowa given and taken by both men. Beardon resisted arrest when a ticket-peddler for Washburn, named W.

Flint, took a hand in the ngnt All were arrested, ana ail gave bail within five minutes and returned to their labors. This episode exercised a salutary influence on tha minda of tha voters, and no serious disturbances occurred after its close. The Washburn ticket took the lead from the opening and held it to the close of the polls. This fact waa well known from the attitude of tha voters before casting their ballots, bnt tha fear prevailed that Washbnrne tickets would be counted out or Washbnrne voters would not be allowed to deposit their ballots. This fear doubled tbe efforts of tha workers and a crowd was never more thoroughly canvassed than that of yesterday As evening approached the fears of the Washburn men diminished and the result of the count showed tha needleeaneaa of their anxiety.

The result of tbe count was made known at about. 8 o'clock, when a tremendous crowd had assembled outside of the poliing-slace. 1 he result of tha count waa; Adama delegates, 123 votes; Washburn delegates, 042 votes; or a majority of Sltt in favor of Mr. Washburn.
