Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept 16. The Bn- quirer' Indianapolis special says: loe re turns are comin in slowly from tho town ship order swindle, but they are sufficient to indicate that it baa been gen erally practiced all over the state, and that its aggregate amount will certainly reach $1100,000, aud may isn atly exceed it. An attorney who is in vestigating tiie fraud report that Davis K. Co.. of Chicago, who are implicated in It, re not altogether unknown here. Iu 1S8U Mr. Davia lived in Indianapolis Iwin- a partner in thn business college of Granger & Davis and he subsequently re- niovej to Clii-aeo. where he went into the school furniture business, and recently he wrote to a relative that be had made f 100,000 in the last year. It was he and Frank Pollard who made the heavy deal in thu orders at Washington City. Davis.it U said, offering $100,0.10 ot it at one time there. A gentleman from Oreenshur;;, who has known Pollard for years, status that be saw him in Chicago three weeks aeo, aud he then bad a valine full of uioney and United Hlates bondi. which he doubtless took with him to Canada. The legal status of the orders is as yet un- leterrained, and opinions are very greatly at variance about them. A number ol lutrttes who have purchased them are pre paring to bring Miit on the official bonds of the tru-tee-, claiming that if the warrants are illegal the sureties are responsible for them to the esstent of t'.ieir bonds, and if they are valid the townships will have to pay for them. The general opiuiou aiuomr the best lawyers here is that payment can be euforced only when the bonds were issued in payment' for supplies actually bought and delivered at reasonable prices, though they all agree that there is absolutely no limit on the tru tee's power to buy as much stuff as he pleases and issue warrants for its payment. and that tbe-e are valid obligations. John M. butler, however, is inclined to think that the trustee's certificate that the sup plies were actually bought is sufficient. Hadison, lnd., Sept. la If the frauds- lent warrants of the festive trustees are held to be legal obligations of the town ships by the courts, many townships will be linancially embarra-sl for years. they are declared not binding npon the town.bips, capitalists and bauks will suffer. These orders were considered a profitable investment, as they could generally be ob tained at a discount and bore b per cent in. terast Chicago, Sept 1ft. The Inter Ocean' Indianapolis apecial says: There is muc comment in financial circles here over the failure of the Jennings county bank of Vr nun, lnd., which occurred Monday.on account of having made large purchases of fraudu lent township orders, the amount being variously stated from $10,000 to $50, 000, and numerous other failures banks and private individuals are an ticipated. A private dispatch received announces that L. C. Fenton, trustee of Adams township, Warren county, is miss ing, and has probably gone to Canada, and that Trustee Clawson. of Warren township, same county, is at London, Out. The de velopments of the last threedays have shown that Oavie-s county oraer.t lu the amounts named below are out: Jennings County bank $ 8,300 Bedford riauK .ooii Murdiiiit.

Ibis being based on a recent ruling of the supreme court of ANOTHER INHUMAN OUTRAGE, And a rrlxe Verdlet by a Coroner's Jury- Unknown Woman Murdered. New York, Sept 16. A young woman went into a saloon at the pleasure resort at Fort Lee, (Sunday evening, and asked for lodgings for the night The rooms were full, and three young men in the place with whom she became friendly told her they could take ber to place up the road where she could get lodging. A wagon was procured and the party started toward Englewood. At the entrance to Lydecker park the men induced the woman to alight, telling her there was a holol near by. Then they at tacked her. There was a struggle in the dark, and dually the woman fell, striking her bead against a stone. She lay stunned, and in a few niiuutes was dead. The men further abused the helpless young woman's body, and then drove back to Fort Lee. Monday morning some ohildren found tbe dead body in the bushes near the road, and the men who had been seen with the woman Sunday evening were arrested during tbe day. Tbey are John Scbicks, tiustave Patzer and Albert Dahne. Patzer is tbe only one of tbe three who has any regular occupation. The others are men of bad local repute. Patzer claims he was induced by tiie others to go along Co see the fun, ane that be took no active part in what hap pened. Scbicks told substantially tbe story related above, and excused himself on tbt ground that be was too drunk to realiM what he was dom;. Daluie fully corrobor ated Scbicks1 slory. The coroner's jury, athr hearing the evidence, returned a verdict that I be woman came to ber death at the hands of Scbicks, Petzer and Dahne, but that her death was unintentional on their part Ihe verdict was received with murmurs oi astonishineut "y tbe crowd. The accused were locked up The woman's body has not been identified. The pockets of the clothing contained a hundkerchief with the initials "S. U." and a napkin from a Coney Island hotel. The woman was about 30 yars old and had dark hair, blue eyes and a light complexion. ltard Coal Market.

The remains of Hon. Emory A. Storrs were buried Tuesday at Gr.tceland cemetery. Many people visited the Leland hotel during the morning to take a last look at the dead, but were dis appointed, as the casket wa closed. It was of dark purple-colored velvet Upon the casket was a silver plate bearing the name "Emery A. Storrs" in old English letters, and beneath in script, "Born Aug. 12, 1S35; died Sept 1J, 1S85." Soon after 1 o'clock, toe hearse, carriages containing Mrs. Storrs and her son George, and two lady friends, and an honorary escort oomposed of members of the bar and distinguished citizens, moved in funeral pace to Unity church, which was already well tilled before their arrival. Owing to the illness of Rev. Dr. Thomas, Rev. David Swing had sole charge of tbe services, assisted only by the Schubert quar tette, which rendered exquisitely mournlul music, which seemed to greatly affect Mrs. Storrs. After the services, which were very brief, tbe large audience was given an opportunity to look at the features of the deceased, which were composed and natural. In front of the lesk and around the cas ket were a number of beautiful floral de signs. Tbe pall- bearers were S. W. Aller ton, P. U. Armour, L P. Kumsey, Charles Counselman, Gen. Ge rge W.

A dispatch from Regina states that Kiel has been respited, pending tbe decision of tbe British privy council on his appeal. For several days paxt his counsel, Mrs. Lemeux and fitziatrii'k, have been arguing this course Qon Governor General Laiudowne. They contended that a respite ought to be granted because there Is wide difference of opinion among lawyers to whether the execution of a sentence passed upon Kiel could be staid by simply with hold lug the order Ho have it carried out They insisted that it was notrigbt that their client be made to run the risk which resulted so unfortunately in tbe ca-ie of Connors, who was hanged at Kegiua while his appeal was pending in the privy oouncil, and will therefore ak for a respite until tbe decision of the privy council in the Kiel case is made known.
