GETTING HOT.

The Riot Case at LaFayett9 Is Bnnginst Sensational facts to Light. The trial of rioter Murphy nt LaFayette for the attempted assassination of the ex-priest Rudolph, for denouncing Catholicism is assuming mighty sensational proportions. A special from LaF.viettc lest eight caja that Frank Moore, p. charter member of lb" A. A tsatiiku to stiing Muipl.v, tho dt!j .Cail, at the opera house and to seeing shot at. Rudolph. He testified thai Murpliy, after shooting, worked his way down toward tho stage, nearer the speaker, but witness did not see him shoot any more. Witness admitted having kept his eyes oil Murj hy pretty closely from the fact that he had seen him purchase five tickets at the door and t'ike in five friends, some of whom he give seats in ihe lower part of the opera house and some in the gallery. This was the more noticeable to witness beoause of the fact that he had heard something that afternoon that had caused him to be suspicious of trouble. Moore also brought to the surface another shooter—one who, up to this time, had nob come to the front by name, though frequently referred to as "the man who fired at the stage from the parquette." At the time when the excitement was at its greatest in the house, when piBtol shots were ringing out from several directiona and people were falling over each other or dropping behind seats to get out of the way of flying bullets, a man had been seen to walk deliberately toward the footlights, and raising a pistol, fire. Up to this time no one had been able to name the mysterious shooter. Mr. Moore was able to throw some light on the subject. He testified that he saw this man shoot, and that it was

Whitney Thompson, of this city. Mr. Moore

that Thompson aimed at

the man who was trying to hit Rudolph on the head with a long pole. Tne probabilities are that the public will never know whether the man shot at whose name is believed to bo Riley, he being well known), was ever hit or not, for, from the time the riot was over at the opera house up to the present time his whereabouts have been unknown to the State or any of its officers, and a strange mystery surrounds tho affair. The sheriff cannot find him nor learn any traoe of him, and more than once people have expressed tho belief that in the firing that was going on there, both on und off the stage, the man was seriously wounded and taken away by his friends, since dying and being secretly disposed of rather than let anything be known. To-day the pole which is so prominent in the case was introduced in evidence. It is about nine feet long, and is used for shifting the scenery at the opera house. There is a murderous hook at one end, with which the fellow who was operating it seemed to be endeavoring to catch Rudolph.

A further sensation in the caBe resulted this afternoon when Mr. Whitney Thompson, who is a grocer of this city, testified that he did shoot at the man on

Btoge,

who was stik-

ing at Rudolph with a long pole. He aimed, he said, at the fellow's breast. The pole used by the man was produced in court, and about afoot from the end which the fellow held in his hand is a bullet hole, which plowed along the pole for a couple or more inches. Undoubtedly this pole saved the man's life, for Thompson is believed to be a dead shot and used a 38-calibre weapon. Being asked by the defense why he shot, he replied that a public meeting had been broken up,

the

speaker

was being assaulted, shot and about overpowered and murdered, and he fired to protect him. He was not an A. P. A. at that time, but triumphantly declared that he had since joined. Thompson disagreed with Rudolph in one instance. The Professor testified he had fired but once, while Thompson and othor witnesses to-day say he shot twice.

Malaclii on a Rampage,'

Malachi Bill Hcott Iibs again come to the front and contributed to fame. Malachi's fair wifet it seems, has by the death of a Lebanon relative fallen heiress to about $15 or $20. It will be paid over in a few days and inflated with a sense of proprietorship and wealth, and also with good red liquor Malachi proceeded to bis ancestral pile last evening about the going down of the sun. He seemed imbued with the fact that old things had passed awny and that the new should rule. He gazed scornfully at the pile of costjy old china on the dresser and giving it a kick caused fragments of the precious pottery to strew the floor. The silver inlaid grandfather's clock was bodily smashed by two ancient Pompeiian vases which were hnrled against it. The silver plate all stamped with the family's armorial crest was thrown into the back yard as were the mahogany chairs and hair sofas. None of the old time feudal magnificence was left and Malachi finally proceeded to bump the heads or his wife and mother together in order doubtless to get his idea of the aesthetic more clearly into their craniums. He may have been a little rough in thib but was hardly rough enough to warrant his arrest and fine which occurred this morning.

Miss Dempsey, the well known nnd experienced trimmer, has arrived at Myers & Charni's and they are showing an immense stock of new and stylish millinery.

Crime at Darlington.

Special to tho Journal. IArlington, Msrch 28.—For some

time Pannell Beokner has had in his employ one Joseph Penrod. Last Thursday they left Ladoga for Darlington and on reaching Crawfordsville Pannell drew SI 38 from the bank and catne here with the money in his pocket. On reaching here the bank was closed. PanheH ml Joe repaired to the Guntle huuso and went to bed. In ihe morning Punnell took his roll to tho bank and on counting .found that he had but Si 28. Next day Joe wbb watched and was seen to spend monej freely, giving Joe Scannell $2.50 to take him to Colfax with a slow mule in the evening. Monday Pannell swore out a warrant for Joe's

arreBt

and 8. M. Mil

ler found him three miles north ot Clark's Hill, brought him back here where a preliminary trial was had and Joe bound over to answer to court.

Mr. Cunningham Sore.

Con Cunningham is very sore over his alleged disloyalty to the Democratic party and denounces all charges against him as false. He is especially bitter againfet Mr. Luse, of the Review and declared this morning to a friend that the Review's statement was a blackmailing scheme and that fathsr Luee merely wanted to shake him for little. He further, volunteered the pleasing insinuation that Mr. Luse had been run out of Anderson by an aroused and indignant community. Mr. Cunningham is out for blood.

Gay Gamblers.

The arrest of gamblers on grand jury indictments is going merrily on and quite a number of the boys have appeared and liquidated. Clerk Brown smiling remarks: "Nearly all the grand jury's invitations will be accepted. As yet not a single regret has been received."

Death of Daru Graves.

A BLOW TO SLAVERY.

Il«'nr7 Stanley on the Itesult of thu Partition of Africa. Thu partition of Africa among the (Curoix'an powers, as will have been sven, was the first effective blow ilea!t to tho slave trade in inner Africa, writes Henry M. Stanley in Harper's. The east coast, whence a few years ago the slaves marched in battalions to scatter over the wide interior of the continent for pillage and devastation, is to-day guarded by garrisons of German and Uritish troops. The island of Zanzibar, where they were equipped for their murderous enterprises, is under the British flag. Trading steamers ruu up and down the coast The Tana and Jub rivers are being navigated by British steamers two lines of stations secure communications inland for three hundred miles from the sea. Maj. von Wissman is advancing upon Lake Tanganilca llorr Booivherl is marching upon Lake Victoria ('apt. Williams is holding Uganda. These results have followed very rapidly the political partition of the continent.

The final blow has been given by the act of the Brussels anti-slavery conference, lately ratified by tho powers, wherein modem civilisation has fully declared its opinions upon Hie question of slavery, and no single power will dare remain indifferent to them, under penalty of obloquy and shauie.

MUSICAL SIGNALING. I

A Unique System for Securing Safety from Occtiu Colllniont. It is a theory which seems to have been confirmed by practical experiment that a pure tone of voice, such as that used in singing, penetrates to a much greater distance than mere noise. This idea, sa3's Youth's Companion, has given rise to a new system of marine signaling, to be used either at night or in foggy weather, and based entirely upon the action of successive musical tones.

A limited number of combinations of notes can be made to carry on all the conversation necessary between approaching vessels to avoid collision, or between light-houses and dangerous points of the coast, in order to prevent wrecks.

Four notes, for example, serve to ask: "Which way are you heading?" and two others mean: "I am stccringsov.theast."

Tho system can be employed on a large scale by means of machinery consisting of a keyboard, on which the operator would play, and "speaking apparatus." It is expected that by such apparatus communication may be established at a distance of two miles. The invention can bo adapted to the Morse code of signals when it becomes necessary to spell out names or words.

A NOTED FORGERY,

One That Is Without a Parallel In the History of Crlmo.

A Clerrr Xegro Penman Who U»cd the Xfttiie or PreBldeot Grant, to G«t Himself Out of tho Ten-

Itcntlary.

George Lewis (colored!, formerly a member of the Ninth cavalry, who had been serving a long sentence in the penitentiary for forgery, was arrested on another charge of the same kind as ho was leaving the prison gatethcother day. after having completed his last sentence, says a Topcka (Kan.) correspondent of the New York Times.

There was nothing remarkable in this except that his arrest recalls a story of forgery that is without parallel in the history of crime, at least in the west, Lewis had been a messenger in Washington, detailed on duty at the war department. It was while there that he committed the first forgery that led to his imprisonment. He had been in prison less than a year when he procured through the assistance of friends a blank pardon, such as is used by the president of the United States. This lie filled out and signed the names of Presidont Grant and the then assistant secretary of war. Having completed this work, he smuggled it into the prison mail, opportunities for which were plenty, as ho had been detailed as clerk In the warden's office. In due time the friend in Washington to whom it had been sent telegraphed the warden that tho pardon had that day been transmitted, signing the name of the president's private secretary to the dispatch.

When the expected pardon was received by Warden Smith the signatures were compared with others known to be genuine, not that there was suspicion, but merely as a matter of precaution, as had been customary. The pnrdon was pronounced correct, and Lewis was caller] in and informed of its receipt and notified that he was a free man. Had he been satisfied with'his freedom ho would soon have been at liberty, and detection of the forgery might not have occurred for years.

When the warden told him to prepare to change his clothes for those of a citizen Lewis asked that he might have the pardon, in compliance with a marginal note in the paper. This request, showing a knowledge of the contents of the document that had not been shown him, excited the suspicion of the deputy warden, who desired to know what he wanted it for. The answer was ready: "For purposes of identification." He was ordered back to his ct-11, and the warden then telegraphed to

President Grant inquiring if the pardon had been issued on such a date. In less than four hours the answer was returned that it had not been issued then, and that if such a document had been received it was fraudulent.

When confronted with this message Lewis denied all knowledge of the transaction for a time, but the dark cell soon caused him to confess. It was only then that another and equally bold forgery came to light, which was apart of his scheme for providing for himself when free.

He had in some manner secured a draft on a Virginia bank, payable at one of the Leavenworth national banks. The amount on the draft was one dollar, which he skillfully raised to twenty thousand dollars. This he sent to the First national of Leavenworth, with an order that two hundred dollars be paid upon the amount and the balance deposited in a Richmond (Va.) bank to his credit. The two hundred dollars was paid and the deposit made as directed, but it was soon discovered that the draft had been raised. Lewis had miscalculated only two or three days in the time he had arranged for the pardon to arrivo. He had intended, as soon as released, to take the pardon with him for purposes of identification, secure the nineteen thousand eight hundred dollars, and then leave the United States.

After the complete exposure of all his schemes he was asked to write the name of Gen. Grant, which he did so perfectly that tiie most expert could not distinguish it from the genuine signature placed beside it. Lewis claimed that he could reproduce the signatures of most of the public men in Washington of that time from memory.

This last arrest was for forgery and obtaining money under false pretense, being the utterance of the draft for twenty thousand dollars. lie will pass the remainder of his days in the Kansas penitentiary, which is used as a military prison as well as for state convicts. Ilis forgeries were commit led in the prison ofiice, where his work as clerk gave him opportunities and brought him into communication with outsiders. Ilis confederates were never discovered.

Disastrous* KarthquukcH.

Earthquake shocks were experienced in various and widely separated parts of the old world during January and the early part of February about tin? time of the disastrous disturbances in /.ante. There was a destructive earthquake in the island of Samothrace, in the. Grecian archipelago, the latter part of January. The, extent of the. damage done was not estimated at last reports, but all the buildings were said to be destroyed. There was a severe shock in New Zealand on February 1-. It was felt in both the north and south islands, being most severe in the city of Wellington and the town of Nelson. Rut slight damage was occasioned. A very seven? shock was experienced on the borders of Afghanistan, near Quetta. and it had some curious features. The railway near ('haman was utterly destroyed and "the rails were twisted like corkscrews." A deep rent, in the earth's surface was made directly along the old British frontier line with Afghanistan, as it existed before the English extended their dominion over the Khojak ridge to Chatnan. The crack follows the old line of demarkation for miles, and the Afghans say it is a sign from Allah that the old frontier was the proper limit, beyond which the English should not go.
