III III llnntla.
Dr. C. H. Hunt, a dentist, and wife are
under arrest, charged with setting fire to
their home at 318 Williams street Saturday
night. Hunt was taken Into custody at
3 o'clock yesterday morning nnd lodged In
tho city Jail. Mrs, Hunt was placed urider
arrest several hours later, after sho had
made a confession In tho pretence of Chief
of Police Albro, Chief Temploton of the
Are Oepartmcnt and Detective Weir. For
lack of suitable accommodations at tho
city. Jail she was placed In tho county
bastllo.
Shortly before midnight Saturday tho flro
department was called to tho cottage at
318 Williams street, the alarm having been
turned In by ono of tho nolghbors, who saw
smoke nnd flames Issuing from tho root of
the house. The department, on, reaching
tho premises, found the doors locked nnd
an entranco had to be forced. The flames,
which were principally confined to the
furniture and one corner of the house,
wero quickly extinguished. As soon an
tho smoko cleared away Chief Templcton
discovered ample evidence to lead him to
suspect that the blaze was of Incendiary
origin and he at once commenced an In
vestigation. Mattrea Soaked with Oil,
In the front room tho first thing that
attracted his attention wds a mattress on
tho floor, which was fihnd to be soaked
with kerosene. Near the mattress and
under the several articles of furniture were
heaps of excelsior and oll-soakcd bundles
of paper. Oll-soakcd excelsior and papers
wore found In other parts of tho house and
In several places the plastering had been
torn from tho walls nnd tho excelsior and
paper so laid that when It caught flro tho
flames would easily communlcato to the
woodwork of the hoilso by running up be
tween the plastering and the weatherboards.
While tho flro department was working
nt the fire Dr. Hunt and hln wife arrived
on tho scene and appeared to be very much
perturbed over the loss to tholr furniture.
They said they had been nt tho doctor's
office over Atkins' drug storo on Broadway
when they heard tho Are alarm bell. When
told of the suspicious circumstances attend
ing tho blaze Dr. Hunt expressed much sur
prise and said ho could i,ot understand
what motive anyone would have for at
tempting to burn his home, as he had not,
he believed, a single enemy In the city. As
soon as he discovered tho Indications of a
deliberate attempt to set fire to tho house
Chief Temploton notified the police by tele
phone nnd Detective Weir was detailed on
the case,
Saya Vnlnablea Area flamed.
Detective Weir requested Dr. Hunt to
accompany him to the station, while his
wife and 9-year-old son were taken care
of for the night by ono of the nolghbors.
At the station Dr. Hunt was questioned as
to tho movements of hlmsolf and family
that night, the Insurance he carried on
his furniture and ns to what articles of
valuo he had In the house. He stated that
with his non ho left home shortly boforo
9 o'clock and went to the office, where ho
had some work to do. His wife, he said,
followed him In nbou't half an hour. Ho
said ho had $800 Insurance In a Des Moines
company on his furnlturo and household
effeexs. Ho mentioned In particular In
enumerating his possessions somo silk and
sntln dresses of his wife, valuable rugs and
a long list of wearing apparel. The valu
able dresses, he said, wero contained In a
wardrobe which had been burned.
fSonda 1'oniul at Oilier.
After the examination of the doctor had
lasted about an hour Detective Weir sug
gested that he accompany him to his office
over tho drug store. This Dr. Hunt ap
peared very reluctant to do. but tho officer
Insisted. Hero Detoctivo Weir found two
trunks full of wearing npparcl and soverol
boxes containing uhlnawaro and cooking
utensils. When asked hoyv they happened
to bo In his office instead of at his home,
Dr. Hunt gave an evasive reply. Detective
Weir then told hln he was under arrest and
took hlra to tho city Jail, where ho was
booked on a charge of frson.
After breakfast yesterday morning Mrs.
Hunt was taken to Chief Albro's private
office, where she was questioned before Flro
Chief Temploton and Dotoctlve Weir. It
was but a few moments beforo tho woman
broko down and consented to tell all, Sho
said that her husband had been arranging
to set Are to the houso' for the last three
weeks with n view ta collecting the Insur
ance on the furniture.
Flrat Attempt Falla.
He made an attempt Friday night, but it
failed, only n hole In the carpet and ono
of the mattresses being burned. Hd niado
bettor preparations Saturday night and, not
ing under his instructions, sho started tho
blaze after ho had loft tho house with tholr
son. As soon as she had started the fire
she left the housr and Joined her husband
at his office. Mrs. Hunt Is only 27 years
of age, while the doctor Is 07 years old.
They havo been married ten years and In
her story to tho chief of police sho said she

was but as a child In his hands and that sbo
had to do what he told her.
Dr. Hunt was not told of his wife's con
fession until several hours later. He at
first was considerably excited, but with
an evident effort pulled himself together.
He said ho could not understand what had
Induced his wife to make such a statement,
as sho was entirely Innocent and that be
could and would be able to prove It. When
asked ng to his connection with tho at
tempt to burn tho house, he declined to an
swer, saying his attorney had advised not to
talk at this time. To Chief, Albro ho told
a hard-luck story. He said that since com
ing to Council Bluffs from Oelwcln, la.,
about a year ago bin business had not pros
pered and that he had found It hard to earn
a living for himself and family. For days
at a time, ho Bald, they had barely enough
food In the house to keep them alive.
Tho house belongs to ex-Alderman Atkins
and was but slightly damaged.

FltcKeraltl Bruised.
John Carter, a Milwaukee switchman,
attempted to make a coupling with his
foot yesterday and In consequence had that
member seriously crushed between tho
bumpers. Ho was taken In tho police patrol
wagon to tho Woman's Christian association
hospital. The attending physicians thought
It possible that amputation would not bo
necessary. ,
Jack Fitzgerald, a mnchlnlst In tho em
ploy of the Northwestern railway at the
roundhouse, overslept himself yesterday
morning and finding himself late In get
ting to work sprinted down tho track. Ills

violently to tho ground. His faco struck
a rail, and besides receiving a number of
painful bruises and nbraslons ho was
knocked senseless for n tlmo. The police
patrol was called and he was removed to

GREAT MAJORITY YET TO BE CALLED
Too Enrly In the (.'anipnlgn to Fore
cast Control of the State Conven
tion Many lovrn Church
Gatherings,
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, May 19. (Special.) The
result of tho political conventions of tho
last week nffords llttlo clue to the wishes
of tho people of the state with regard to
the republican nominations. The most sig
nificant action Is In Dallas county, tho
former homo of Minister Conger, whero tho
caucuses In tho leading towns have been
carried for Cummins, but his opponents
are savage In denunciation of the methods
used, claiming that snap Judgment was
taken; that the caucuses were called with
out sufficient notlco and that Improper
Influences were used upon tho republican
voters. However this may be, It Is now
certain that Dallas county will not be for
Minister Conger for governor, but will
send a delegation favorable to Cummins.
This Is generally regarded as ending tho
possibility of ranking nny break in the
Seventh congressional district, which will
bo solid for Cummins for governor. With
Polk, Woodbury, Story, Boone nnd Sao in
structed for Cummins and tho delegations
from Marshall, O'llrlen and Dallas conceded
to him, Cummins has 215 votes as a
starter In the convention. Butler county
has Instructed for Harrlman and Union
nnd Adams are untustructcd, but opposed
to Cummins. During tho present week
thero will be conventions held In twclvo
counties of tho state. Those that are
reasonably certain to be for Cummins are
Carroll, Poweshiek, Kossuth, Dickinson,
Humboldt and Ida counties. Outhrlo county
will Instruct for Herrlott on Thursday.
Bremer, Orundy and Delawnro will, select
delegations favorable to either Trcwln or
Harrlman, Taylor county will select a
delegation opposed to Cummins, Sioux City
Is likely to bo for Cummins, but without
Instructions. Thus Mr. Cummins' list of
delegates is likely to be run up to over
300 before tho close of the week. It Is
conceded, however, that the counties which
aro holding conventions now nro thoso In
which tho candidates feci themselves best
ablo to oontrol easily. There will bo over
1,600 delegates In the state convention, and
tho great majority of county conventions
havo yet to be called.
Church McetliiRa In Iowa.
Several notable church moetlngs are to be
held In Iowa this spring, and at least three
of them aro to bo held this week. The
forty-ninth annual convention of the diocese
of Iowa of tho Episcopal church Is to be
held In Des Moines commencing Tuesday
morning, and In connection therewith the
meeting of tho Women's Auxiliary Board of
Missions for that denomination. Bishop
Morrison of Davenport will be hero nnd on
Tuesday afternoon will road his annual
Episcopal nddress. A matter which Is to
como up which will attract to this meeting
a larger number of the clerical and lay dele
gates than usual is that of the adoption of
new constitution for thediocese and new
canonical laws. A committee of the leading
clergy of the diocese, Including the bishop,
has been nt work the past year revising tho
constitution nnd tho laws and has held
many meetings. Quito a number of Impor
tant changes are to bo recommended. Ono
change which is sure to arouso a discussion
relates to tho ranrrlage question. It is pro
posed to forbid ministers lo marry divorced
persons, even when the causo of divorce Is
adultery, nnd this prohibition will moot the
antagonism of many of the lay members nnd
some of the clergy, as It Is regarded as
entirely too radical.
The annual convention of tho Christian, or
Camphelllte churches, for tho northeastern
Iowa district, will bo held In Marshalltown
beginning Tuesday. Tho state Is divided
Into threo districts for convenience and this
district usually has between 600 and 600
delegates In attendance nt conventions. A
feature will bo tho address of Rev. C. C.
Smith of Cincinnati, O., one of the national
workers In missionary fields. A number of
Des Moines church workers will attend. In

meeting of tho Christian Women's Board of
Missions.

The sixty-second annual convention of tho
