A flury of excitement was caused this evening by the report that Mosher had been indicted by the federal grand jur being arraigned had pleaded guilty to em- zlement, and had son 1 to five the penitent The ofiicials of the federal court besought with in quiries and were kept busy for fully an hour denying the report It is stated, however, on very good author- ity that the grand jury is at work on the case and that five counts have already been filed there against Mosher. There are countless other cases to follow, in the event that anything comes of those already filod It is understood that Bank Examiner ifiith found the afMairs of the bank in very bad shape find evidence of fraud that impelled him to lay the matter bofore the grand jury.

The statement was made this evening by a man who is supposed to be as familiar with the inside facts as any one, that Mosher would not be here in the morning. He further stated that the bank swould not pay 05 cents on the dullar: and « when taken up by a local banker, made a bet that the bank would not even pay 5 cents on the aollar. Sufe In the Penitentiary. Mosher remained within the walls of the penitentiary all day, while his attorney was seurrying heve and there in the role of a messénger boy. Mosher refused to attend the meeting of the directors of the bank this afternoon, claiming that he was too busy with his' personal matters. The meeting was uneventful, as the reason for holding it was to get the president of the institution before the directors, in order to require him o make an explanation and answera lot of uestions regarding matters on which they esived to be enlichtened. Mosher was alto- gether too foxy to be caught in any such trap and could not be induced to mike a move that would allow the directors to get hold of him. ne neern busy men who ss on a small capital, and as to have their money d to accept the terms that something was settled of up that Boggs will be presi Beatrice him to receiver here also dipping into tt oice is K. 15, Balch of on, ar d is get- Detec- Trying to Get F.

Brruiy, Jun, %.—Kive fresh cases of cholera and two deaths were reported at the Nietelben insane asylum up to 6 o'clock this ovening. At Thorth, where the dis hen | ease appeared yestorday, cight new cases have occeurred today, and three of the per- sons previously attacked have died Prof. Koch, who wuas seut by Emperor William to the Nietelben asylum to investi the cholera there, is now at ‘Irith where he is examining into the appearance of the disease at that place, He has advised that the proposed cclebrations at Halle on the anniversary of the emperor's birth be prohibited for the danger of cholera infec tion. The authorities of Halle have received o letter concerning the epidemic from Prof Rettenkefer of Munich, who considers the outbreak at Nietelben an illustration of his theory that cholera is bred by local condi- tions of the soifand wuter, rather than by imported bacillus. Prof. Rettenkefer says that there is nothing surprising in the ap- of the dises Nietelben, A outbreak took place in the Lauff when eighty-three inmates of the prison died in three weeks. Nobody was able to discover how the discase was intro- duced into the prison and the town remained ely free from the epidemic. The his- y of the present Nietelben epidemic would be similar. From the epidemiological point of view, Prof. Rettenkefer says the d velopement and progress of the discase ut Nietelben ure of the greatest significance, WANTS AN ENGLISH DIVORCE.
