A L | George Whittell now rests under the | odium of a charge of fraud preferred yes- terday by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Ellen A. l Fife, wife of George S.

Subsequently devi and bequesis had been settled and 7,200,000 remained W hit- the - various heirs of an interest in the S| fon to be known “Luning Company,” in order that great loss would not be sustained by the prema- ture sale of the assets of the dead capi- talist’s estate. Having full confidence in | the integrity of Whittell, Mrs. Fife's | complaint continues, she agreed to the proposition, all interests in the residue | were pooled, a corporation was formed and by order of court the interests of the heirs were_transferred to the corporation, of which Marion B. Langhorne was ap- pointed secretary. In September of 1894 Mrs. Fife alleges | she was taken ill, and believin® that she was about to die applied to the corpora- | tion for leave to sell her interest in the corporation that she might e inde- | pendent investments for the benefit of her children. Upon the receipt of her appli- cation Mrs. Fife says that Whittell rep- resented to her that the value of her stock in the Luning Company was worth $700,- 000, and he agreed to purchase it for that price and would in addition surrender a [ promissory note held by him against Mrs. | Fife for the sum of $38,638. Believing that Whittell's statements were true and that the sum named was a fair price for her | stock, Mrs. Fife accented the offer and | the note was transferred to her, together | with_four pieces of real estate alleged to | be of the value of 3700,000. Now Mrs. Fife says that the property tra is not worth more than §: pany was worth fully $1400,000, which fact, she ms, was kept from her knowledge by the fraudulent representa- tions of Whittell. TIn consequence she asks for judgment in the sum named and costs of suit. —_————— PHELAN’'S LADDER. Unlike That of Jacob It Was Fatal to | the Carpenter Who Trusted | His Weight Upon It. ! Mayor Phelan appeared at the Coroner's office yesterday as a witness at the in- quest upon the body of John H. Dunste: the carpenter who was Killed last Satur- | day by falling from a rotten ladder on a | house at Thirteenth and Mission streets. The house belonged to the Phelan estate | and it had been reported to the Coroner | that Agent McEIroy and Mr. Phelan had been notified of the dangerous character of the ladder and had failed to put it in | order. Mr. Phelan said that the property be- longed to the estate of the late James | Phelan, his father, and that he was the | executor.

DECOYED BY A MISSIONAR AT R SHE APPEALS TO THE BRITISH CONSUL. e Made to Sleep Upon Straw and to Pawn Her Clothes for Food to Sustain Life Until Assis- tance Should Come. LEL o B Lizzie Downe, an unsophisticated Eng- lish working girl, is the latest victim of Mormon cruelty and duplicity. She was enticed from her home in Eng- land by a Mormon missionary named Arthur Gardiner who promised that he would give her a situation to do house- work in Salt Lake City at wages from $8 to $10 per week. When he got the girl in his clutches fay away from her home he tried to induce her to join the Mormon church, and because she refused to obey his bidding he deserted her and left her to battle with starvation. The young woman and her sister, Mrs. Martha Paternoster, of 28 Marlow road, Kensington, W., appealed to Britisn | Consul Pickersgill of this city for relief. | The Consul forwarded the letters yester- | day to Captain Schell, Acting Immigra- tion Commissioner at this port, and Cap- tain Schell will make a report to Na- tlonal Commissioner Powderly with a view to the deportation of the unfortu- nate woman. Mrs. Paternoster tells a harrowing story in her letter of her sister's sufferings. She writes: “She has been decoyed by a thence to Salt Lake City in an attempt to coerce her into joining the gang known as Mor- mons. She is an unmarried woman and | she left Glasgow by boat in company with Gardiner. On arriving at the New York Custom-house Gardiner induced her to swear that she had seven pounds sterling in order that she might be admitted to this country. * * * She has been perse- cuted and has suffered much privation be- cause she would not join the Mormon gang. She was treated worse than a dog. | with only straw to lie upon, and she has had to sell her clothes to buy food.” PROTECTED HER CARPETS. Miss E. Horgan of the Belgravia Lodging House Had a Team- ster Arrested for Battery. Miss E. Horgan of the Belgravia lodg- ing house, 1715 Polk street, appeared in Judge Graham's court vesterday as com- plaining witness in the case of F. H. Frank, a driver for Morton’s special de- | livery, on a charge of battery. Miss Horgan testified that Frank went to the lodging house for a trunk, and as ! he was dragging it over her carpets she asked him to carry it, but he declined, and when she tried to stop him he pushed her aside. Frank testified that the trunk welghed 200 pounds. He could not carry it, so he dragged it over the carpet. Miss Horgan slanted herself in front of the trunk, and it along she fumped on top. He gently pushed her from the top of the trunk and continued o shove it along till he got to the top of the stairs, when he lifted it on his shoul- ders and_carried it downstairs. The Judge thought that a charge of bat- tery could not stand and dismissed the case. —_—————— INSPECTING HIS OFFICE. Mr. Cleveland’s Mantle to Be Taken Off Deputy Shipping Com- missioners.

A TEST EXPERIMENT. | Peculiar Power Possessed by a New Medicine. | Ot new discoveries there is no end, but one of the most recent, most remarkable and one which will prove invaluable to thousands of people, is a discovery which |it is believed will take the place of all other remedies for the cure of those com- mon and obstinate diseases, dyspepsia and stomach troubles. This discovery is not a loudly advertised, secret patent medicine, but Is a scientific combination of wholesome, perfectly harmless vegeta- ble essences, fruit salts, pure pepsin and | bismuth. These remedies are combined in lozenge form, pleasant to take, and will preserve their good qualities indefinitely, whereas all liquid medicines rapidly lose whatever good qualities they may have had as soon as uncorked and exposed to the air. This preparation is called Stuart’s Dys- persia Tablets and it is claimed that one of these Tablets or lozenges will digest from 300 to 3000 times its own weight of | meat, eggs and other whoiesome food. And this claim has been proven by actual experiments in the following manner: A hard boiled egg cut into small pieces was placed in a bottle containing warm water | heated to ninety-eight degrees (or blood heat). One of these Tablets was then |a half, at the end of which time the egg was as completely digested as it would in a healthy stomach This was undertaken to demon- | bave been experiment |it would alsc do in the stomach, hence | its unquestionable value in the cure of dyspepsia and weak digestion. Very few | people are free from some form of indi- | gestion, but scarcely two will have the | same symptoms.. Some will suffer most | from distress after eating, | gas in the stomach and bowels, others | have acid dyspepsia or heartburn. others palpitaticn or headaches, sleeplessness, pains in chest and under shoulder blades, | extreme nervousness as in nervous dys- pepsia, but they all have same cause, failure to properly digest what is eaten. The stomach must have rest and assist- | ance, and Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets give it both by digesting the food for it angd in a short time it is restored to its normal action and vigor. At same time the Tab- lets are s0 harmless that a child can take them with benefit. This new preparation has already made many astonishing cures, as, for instance, the following: After using only one package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets I have received such great and unexpected benefit that I wish to express my sincere gratitude. In fact, it has been six months since I took the package and I have not had one particle of distress or difficulty since. And all this in the face of the fact that the best doc- tors I consulted told me my case was Chronic Dyspepsia and absolutely incur- able, as I had suffered twenty-five years, 1 distributed half a dozen packages among my friends here, who are very anxious to try this remedy.
