[ Special Tele- to TIIK llnn.J Tlili afternoon Judge Brown has been listening to the testimony J.or nnd a ilnst W. T. Sawyer of the Ilond 'howl , who is charged by Langdon Frothing- hum with appropriating fMO which did not belong to him. The great dlfllculty , however - ever , is In proving that there was nn actual cast1 of larceny , as Sa\vycr Insists that ho and Frolhlnglmm were In partnership. Hand- nuts thnt ho appropriated the inonoy , but says that ho used U in paying for the expanses " panses of the hotol. It Is "alleged thnt Prof. Frothltighain put In 1500 with Sawyer last fall to run , the hotel , but thnt this was all lost. The professor says that ho afterward was Induced by Sawyer to lot him have 8200 and , In order to secure ) himself from further loss , he demanded and * was allowed permis sion to take the money duo him from tlio re ceipts of the hotel nftor December 20. When ho wished to got his inonoy from this source i , bofound , no cash available and charged Saw yer with Inrcony. The cnso was somewhat Involved and there is considerable doubt as to whether FrotbhiRlmin can make the Chnrpo stick , although he is actually out $700. TIIU nisnoi' iiECoxsiuniis. It is told on very good authority that Bishop Ilouacum has rcconstaered his action , ln suspending Father Walsh from the minis- trillions of the ofllco of priest , nnd will rein- atato him. The notion , it will bo remem bered , was taken because of the fact that Mrs. Shcedy bad accused the father of mak ing Improper advances to her , and bccauso she had icpulscd him ho was pursuing her by his tratimony tcndlnirto Implicate her in h6r husband's murder. The action , it is said , will bo Ukon on account of the pressure of public opinion among the members of the church , with whom Father Walsh is uni versally popular. Bunin.Mi : COUIIT.

Detective Haze has been instrumental in assisting to unearth another story in which a man's perfldy and crime and a woman's credulity , love and shame constitute the lead ing features. Last Sunday ho received a dispatch from Keokulr , la. , asking if thcro was a girl In Omaha named Hulda Linstrum. She was livingso the message said , nt 1515 Burdott street. Later in the tiny a letter was received from the saino parties in Kookuk in which It was explained that an Infant had boon found on a tloor step In Kookuk last Sunday morning with n note attached to its clothing signed "A broken hearted mother , " nnd us a daughter of the gentleman where the child was found had loft homo almost a year ngo and was wandering somewhere , supposed to bo in Oranha , the parents natur ally concluded that the poor girl had gone wrong ana that the foundling was her child. They beirge < l of the Omaha detectives to lind out if possible where their daughter was , and if she had departed from the path of roctl- tudo or had become a mother. With these facts In hand , Detective Haze made a search for the girl but found she had gone to Kcoltuk. Ho learned , however , that she was a mother and had taken the babe with her. On Monday the young woman returned to Omaha and Detective Haze mot her nnd ob tained a full confession of the sad nnd slmmo- lul facts. The girl said that she had been betrayed by a lover named Victor Carl son , who induced her to leave homo and go to Burlington , whcro sbu worked n short tlmo and than cnmo to Omaha. About the same time Carlson betrayed and ruined her ho also ruined nnotfhor girl named Johnson , in Burlington. Carlson was compelled to marry the Johnson girl , and then Miss Ltinstrumioft for Omaha , tSliu lived for a time as a domestic on Park nveuuo and on North Sixteenth street , but on Bcptom or 18 she was obliged to apply for admission at the Opou Door , where she remained until February 13. The baby was born on October liO. Not knowing what to do or where to go , the girl said she de cided to take the baby to her father's honso and leave it on the door stop. Last Saturday she took the train for Kookuk , nrrlvjng there laUi at night. She walked the streets nwhllo , and then concealed herself In the back yard of her old homo and waited for the approach of day. At 4 a. m. she placed the babe on the front stop , rnppod loudly several times , and then sped away to the depot nnd took thooarly morning truln for Omaha. She resumed her duties as helper m the res * Uiurnntnt 1515 Burt street. The girl wept profusely while talking to Detective Haze , und said she would like to go homo , where she could see her baby , which she loves very fondly , The girl's parents nro highly rosocctablo and are very desirous of having their wayward - ward daughter return to the parental roof , wliore she nnd tbo baby uiny have a good homo. She says that Carlson lived but a few weeks with the girl ho was compelled to marry , nnd then departed for parts to bar unknown , . i Mnrclicil to Jail by Ills Father. PEORU , 111. , Fob. 18. Young Spolman , son of the distiller , wa'J marched to Jail this morning.

What It Cost to Clean n Cesspool at the County 1'oor Funn. Thcro was a bandying of hot words in the county commissioners' room yesterday after noon. There wns also a disclosure. Garbage Alastcr Morrlssoy ana Lazarus , the cesspool cleaner , came in looking for Poormaslor Mnhonoy. They said they hoard that Mimonoy had boon punching holes in the county poor farm cesspool , thus Jolting the contents run out ever the county. The call ers also implied thnt by so doing Air. Mahoney - honey was monkeying them out of money tlmt they should bo earning. Mnhonoy llimlly dropped in , and nftor n swift nil-round discussion of the matter ho asked Morrlssoy what ho had been charging up to the county for certain work out at the poor farm. It seems thnt a cesspool some ahtnnco from tno building bccuma iillcd up' the ether day nnu the noormastcr notified Morrissey to hnvo it emptied. The contents uns simply a lot of rofu.so water , which Muhonoy thought didn't amount to much | I and could bo hauled away in thrco or four i wagon loads. Monissoy's reply to Mahonoy's ' i question us to how much of a bill ho had to present for the job almost paralyzed the lat ter. ter."There "There wcro ninety-flvo loads of it , " sold Morrissey , "aud tbo charge Is S3 a load. " "UoodLordl What's ' that you say I" exclaimed - claimed Muhonoy , ns lie gasped hard for breath. Morrissey repeated the figures , slowly and with emphasis. Well , you'll never got it lot me tell you that , right hero and now ! " said Mahoney hotly. "Such a chnrgo ns that Is the worst outrage 1 ever heard of. How could you haul ninety-five loads of water away to the river in four nights and ono day , nnd neb commence until 'j o'clock at night ) JIovv far did yon haul III" "It wns hauled Just ever the railroad tracks out there , nnd dumped. " "Oh , ho ! You took it only thirty or forty feot. did you ! You charged $5 a load for hauling wntcr not ever forty foot , did you ) The ordinance says you must haul cesspool slops to nnd dump them in the rlvor , but then where uld you Und ninety-five loads I" "Kight there In that cesspool , " was the re ply."I "I doubt It , and let roe tell you again tlmt you nro badly fooled it you think you can got the county commissioners to pay you any Buch price or amount us you have irninwi , Four hundred and sovcnty-flvo dollars for four nlglits'-and one day's work !

The ProlllH of * Insurance. Osuiu , Neb. , Feb. 18. To the Editor of Tin : BEC : I noticed in Tin : Dnunn editorial proposing legislation for the reduction of the proilts of Insurance companies ami quoting tha state auditor's report as conclusi vo evl < dcnoo that the pccplo nro ucliig robbed , Tlioso figures nro necessarily incomplete and the percentages given show only the < proportion of losses paid , to gross premium receipts. You reason thnt because the losses ns reported by all companies for last your nvorago 57 nor cent of the receipts , the other 43 per cent Is profit , without stopping to con sider the really most important feature of the business , vlz.j the item of expense. This item includes commissions paid to agents , salaries of ofllccrs nnd ottiora , traveling expenses and other incidentals and will average very nearly 40 per cent of gross receipts ; In fact , the experience of many companies show it to bo much more than that. Hero , then , wo have u loss and ex- pouso ratio of I'T ' per cent , to say nothing of oUiof sources of loss , sucli as defaulting ngonts nnd uncollectible premiums , resulting from a variety of causes. It will thus bo scon that the margins for prnllt , In compari son with the risk taken , is very small ; smaller , wo will venture to state , thau that of any private business in which so much capi tal is staked nnd so much energy and ability expended. Look at the number of companies that nro forced to withdraw from the field every year for the very reason that rates are inadcquatonnd bolngunaulotosecuronpaylng business either reinsure nnd retire or fall al together. Would such results bo posslblo if the profits were anything llko what you have Intimated ? It is true that the successful com panies Increase their assets and surplus year by voar but that is easily accounted for when it is understood that their cesh capital is In vested In mortgages , bonds nnd other securi ties from whicn a revenue is derived nnd fiom this source , usually , the dividends ( if any ) nro paid. Lack of time prevents n ref erence to ether points called to mind by the nrticlo mentioned , but wo may discuss them hereafter. I merely wished to correct nn erroneous impression held by persons who ought to know the whole truth , for In no business Is pure philanthropy more apparent than in thnt of insurance. FAIUHAV.
