PnTsBi'Ru, Pa., Dec. 14. Inquiry at
Homestead, u suburb of PitU)urg,
shows that Charles Henry William
Hogg, who was arrested at Washington
last Friday forannoving President Har
rison, is a crank of very large ideas.
He came to Homestead la.t spring mid
remained until September. He did not
seek employment, and seemed to have
enough money 011 which to live comfort
ably. He sought the society of the cler
gymen of the tow n and unfolded 1 3 them
the scheme w hich was upper rn'wt in his
mind. He said that all religious socie
ties at present in existence are founded
on wrong ideas, and that ace will not
come to the world until ail the churches
are destroyed, and one grand central ed
ifice erected w itli branches' of the same
kind in every town. Ho said he had
been appointed to le master architect,
and that nil who agisted in the enter
prise would lo saint. He left for
Washington w ith the express purposo of.
interesting President Harrison in his
nroiect. While at Homestead I loan
conducted himself as a gentleman, and
was considered harmless.

Colcmiii, ()., Dee. 15. At no time
since la grippe fin-t made its apcar-
anee here has it claimed more victims
than just now. The mild weather, with
considerable precipitation, seems to have
furnished just the condition the epi
demic requires to flourish in. and all the
physicians say the amount of sickness in
Columbus now is almost unprecedented;
the schools show irregular attendance,
due to the epidemic, but among the
children it has rarely proved fatal. It is
with the older people, andescviallv the
aged, that it is most to lie feared, Even
though they survive the first attack, la
grippe is rarely eliminated from the
system, and often developes into some
other malady w.at eventually proves
fatal.
