A BLOODY DEED.

Horrible Act of Unknown Fiends Near Washington, Ind.

THEY MURDER AN ENTIRE FAMILY.

Farmer Wratten, Hla Aged Mother, HI* Wife and Two GbUdrau Found Dead In Their Home—A Third Child la

Fatally Wounded.

BOBBERY THE MOTIVK.

WASHiweTON, Ind., Sept. 80.—A farmer came galloping into Washington Tuesday to announce that six murders, all in one family, had been committed early that morning in Harrison township, Daviess county. This section of the county has been long notorious for its disrespect of all law. It is miles from this city. The tragedies had occurred at the farm residence of Denson Wratten.

The Awful Uliooftrj.

A neighbor had oalled at the house to inquire after the condition of Mr. Wratten, who had been in bed with a violent oase of typhoid fever. He saw the side door open leading into the farmer's sitting-room. In the middle of the floor, with the blood still oozing from several deep gashes in her head, lay the body of Mr. Wratten's aged mother. There was evidence that she had engaged in a terrible struggle with her assassins. The walls were bespattered with blood and several pools were on the floor. Both hands of the old lady were nearly severed at the wrists. She had held on to her leather sack containing several hundred dollars of pension money until her clutch had to be broken with blows from tbe robbers' weapons. This money is supposed to furnish a motive lor the orime.

The Wife end Mother Butchered* Near the body of old Mrs. Wratten was the lifeless form of her daughter-in-law, who had apparently stood by the side of the elder woman and fought the murderers until she received the fatal blow that cleft her forehead, splitting the skull to the crown of the head. A sharp liatchct or ax had been used, and there were several deep gashes in the shoulders and arms of the younger woman.

Three Children Slain.

Two little children were found in a corner of the next room behind the bed with their heads chopped. One, a girl of 15 years, was not dead, but unconscious. A 8-year-old baby was found in its crib. The entire family had been butchered.

The Husband and Father Murdered. On the floor beside the bed was the body of the typhoid patient with his throat cut and head nearly severed. Two of his fingers were cut nearly off, showing that even in his weakness the sick man had attempted to combat with his assailants.

Killed with a Hatchet.

The murdere were probably committed with a hatchet, and entrance was made through a window on the porch, which entered the room of the grandmother. Inspection of the premises showed the footprints of three men in the barnyard and it is believed a party of tramps did the work.

The murder was probably committed early in the%ight, for when an examination was made by physicians they stated that, from the discoloration of the skin, the blows must have been made ten or twelve hours before.

Robbery the Objeet.

Various theories have been advanced, and the most probable one is that the perpetrators were after money which the old lady was supposed to have, as she had been receiving a widow's pension for many years, and was thought to have from tl.000 to t2,000 secreted around the house.

The contents of the drawers were turned out on the floor and the whole house seemed to have been ransacked, but in their hurry they overlooked $32 sewed in the dress of the younger Mrs. Wratten and 17.66 in the bureau of the room which tlieolder Mrs. Wratten occupied.

Bloodhounds ou the Track. While the coroner went to the house to take evidence the neighbors for miles around gathered and with several scores from the city formed a hunting party and started to scour the country for the murderers. Word was sent to Seymour for the bloodhounds used there in tracking thieves. They arrived Tuesday afternoon and were taken to the house in the country and set on the track of the robbers.

FLOODS IN VIRGINIA.

Village of Crlgleravllle and Four Large Mills Swept Away. WASHINGTON, Sept 20.—Advices received here from Madison Courthouse, Va., say that the floods in that section have caused immense damage to crops and fencing. Four large mills on the banks of the Rapidan river and three dwellings in the county have been washed away. The village of Criglersville, on Robinson river, is almost swept out of existence Many narrow escapes have been made, but so far no lives are reported as lost.

It Falls to the L*t of IVon. William B. Hornblower, of Mew York—Appointed to Succeed the Late Justice Blatchford on the flupreme Bench*

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—President Cleveland has nominated William Butler flornblower, of New York, to be associate justice of the United States supreme court, vice Samuel Blatchford, deceased. While the nomination was not unexpected it caused some surprise, nevertheless. For some weeks it had been surmised that the distinguished

WILLIAM B. HORNBLOWER.

[Mr. Hornblower was born in May, 1861, and is one of tbe most eminent lawyers In New York, one of his great-grandfathers having been a signer of the declaration of indo pendence.

One uncle was the late Justice Bradtey of the United States supreme court, and another the late Judge Woodruff of the United States clrcult court Sis father was the late Rev. Dr. Hornblower of the Presbyterian church.

SENATE TALKS OF CLOSURE.

Voorhees Wants to Tote on Silver and Piatt Gives Notice of a Resolution. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—In the senate a substitute for the silver repeal bill was given notice of by Senator Squire (Wash.). It permits the deposit of silver bullion by its owner and the coinage thereof into standard silver dollars, of which he is to receive only the amount corresponding to its commercial value. The coinage is not to exceed $4,000,000 a month or 1200,000,000 in all. The dollars are to be legal-ten-der and no certificates are to be issued.

Senator Voorliees defended himself from adverse criticism in the management of the bill by showing the impossibility under the rules of making greater haste. He again asked that a day be fixed for a final vote.

Senator Dubois (rep., Idaho) as a representative of the silver men, objected in a bitter speech, defying Senator Voorhees to force the issue. In reply, Senator Voorhees said there was no use in talking of closure, as the discussion of that proposition would take up all the time of this and the next congress. He therefore gave notice that he will ask the senate to remain in session longer, perhaps, at night. How long he did not say, but sufficient to remove the great ground of complaint on the part of the silver men.

Senator Piatt (rep., Conn.) gave notice of a closure resolution, which he had read at the clerk's desk. After a few remarks by Senator Stewart (rep., Nev.) Senator Mills (dera., Tex.) took the floor on the silver bill.

HONORED DEAD REMOVED. Remains .of Kx-Presldent Polk and Wife Relnterred at Nashville. Tcmi.

NASHVILI.B, Tenn., Sept 20.—With simple but solemn ceremonies the remains of James Knox Polk, tenth president of the United States, and those of his venerated wife, Mrs. Sarah Childress Polk, were on Monday removed from the tomb at Polk place, the old family residence in this city, to a picturesque spot at the state capitol grounds and there reinterred. The services at Polk place and capitol hill were very impressive and the occasion was observed with due honor and respect by the siate, the city, the church and the public. During the hour fixed for the removal the public offices and busines's establishments were closed and the bells in the city hall and the various churches were tolled.

Still Filibustering.

WASHINGTON, Sept 20.—After an objection was made to the resolution offered by Mr. Flynn (O. T.) calling on the secretary of war for information relative to the shooting of settlers on the Cherokee strip by the United States soldiers, the house resumed the fight over the federal election bill, and the yeas and nays were ordered on Mr. Burrows' old motion to dispense with the call of committees. The democrats came within five of a quorum, securing 173 votes. The house then adjourned.

IN A BLAZING TMEATKJL.

CANTON, 111., Sept 20.—The new opera house at this place was burned to the ground Tuesday night duringthe progress of a play and eighteen persons were burned, some of them fatally. No one is known to have been killed outright, but one man, Peter Curry, is missing and is thought to have perished in the flames. The estimated money loss is $100,000. The list of injured is:

PatKeenan, Pierre Morganson, Wilbur Dobbins, Elmer Martin, JohD Thomas. John Peckard, James Heok, John Belt, W. C. Walgamot, Dan Wills, Philander Downing, Riley Miller, Ernest McVan. Lawrence Seward, Martin Moran, Fred Walsh, Arthur Stevens, John Brady.

Caused a Panic.

The Baldwin-Melville company was playing "Michael Strogoff." During the battle scene in the third act the fireworks exploded, setting fire to the scenery. Instantly the audience was in an uproar, but the manager hastened to the front of the stage and urged every one to remain in his seat, saying there was no danger. This checked the panic for a moment, and it was this short delay in clearing the house that came near causing terrible loss ni life.

Whole Hetrie in a Blaxo.

In less than a minute after the curtain dropped a sheet of (lames burst from the .stage, rolled along the ceiling of the gallery and enveloped those in that part of the house who had not yet escaped. Man.v of those in the gallery jumped to the balcony below, crushing and bruising themseves and those upon whom they fell. Tbeir cries of pain could be heard for blocks. As quickly as possible those who were unable to walk were carried into the various drug Btores about the public square on which the opera house was situated and physicians were summoned.

Think Several Were Hurned to Death. It is believed there are bodies in the ruins, but only one person, a tailor named Peter Curry, who is known to have been in the gallery, is not yet accounted for. There were, however, a number of strangers in the house. In less time than it takes to till it the opera house was a mass of flames. The firemen were helpless to stay their progress and in less than twenty minutes the roof fell in. The flames spread to the opera house block, completely destroying it For two hours the firemen worked before they had the fire under control.

The third story of the opera house block was occupicd by the masonic lodge. Only the records were saved. The second story was occupied by the offices of the Canton Masonic Mutual Insurance company. Dr. Whiting, dentist, and O. R. Cobleigh as living rooms. But little was saved from this story.

I.oss Will Be 100,000.

The first floor was occupied by Woods & Wonderly, dry goods, and Schradzki & Sklarek, clothiers. The greater portion of these stocks were removed into the street. The loss on the opera house block and ihe goods will amount to fl00,000. The Baldwin-Melville company lost everything, the members escaping with only the costumes they had on. Walter S. Baldwin, the manager, lost $2,000 in oash, which was left in one of his coat pockets on the stage. Some of the members of the company escaped from under the stage by forcing off the heavy wire grating. None of them were seriously injured.

YELLOW FEVER SPREADING.

Discouraging Reports Received from the City of Brunswick. WASHINGTON, Sept 20.—The yellow fever situation at Brunswick, Ga., is constantly growing worse and there seems little hope now of averting a yellow fever epidemic. A telegram has been received from R. D. Murray, surgeon of the United States marine hospital service, addressed to Dr. Wyiunn, statin} that twenty cases of yeliuvv fever are now under treatment at Brunswick and that there was one death on Monday. He believes that there is no need of more physicians r.t present and' states that volunteers will not be welcome at this time. Neither are nurses from abroad wanted. The fever pervades every part of the city and a siege of six weeks of epidemic seems inevitable. A local hospital service is to be opened. The people of the city do not seem to be particularly nervous or panic-stricken, and the present destitution will be met by private contributions.

Odd Fellows Parade.

%'"r*

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 20.—The Sovereign Grand Lod^e of Odd Fellows continued its session. In the afternoon tlier^ was a parade of odd fellows, and local lodges as well as visiting'members of the order turned out in large numbers. There were about 1,000 men in line. The [sovereign grand lodge reviewed the parade. The sovereign grand lodge voted to meet at Chattanooga, Tenn., next year.

I'ort Tmvngeml Bank Closed. TACOMA, Wash., Sept 20.—The Port Townseud national bank failed to open its doors. The suspension is the result of the suspension of the Commercial national and Portland savings bank of Portland, Ore. The total liabilities are less than $100,000 assets between $120,000 and $130,000. Officials say the bank will resume in thirty days. Directors give a personal pledge to pay the depositors in full.

AN UGLY RUMOR.

Berlcua Charge Against Pour Engineer.

KA.VKAKKIC, 111., Sept. "-iO,—Eight persons Iciilf.i and eighteen injured is the record of the "Big- Four" collision at Manteno. 111. Three more deaths may yet bt.' added to the list. The list of injured is tiliout the same as already published. The revised list of dead is as follows:

The Dead.

Charles Dlekendastaer, Colutnbus, O. Miss Minni" Dugan, Lower Albany. Ind. David Jaek.son. Cynthluna, O. CbrlBt, ICtmmel, Dayton, ). James W. Powell, New Vienna, O. Mrs. Mattie Seholter, Ripley, O. Jake Simper, Col mbus», O, and L. L». Sweet, Louisville, Ky.

Wan Ho Aslcrp.

Daylight brought little mitigation of the horror of the accident. It increased the list of the dead by one and tho responsibility of those to wl.om were Intrusted the lives of the passengers on the train. Monday uight there was talk of a heavy curve in the track, of blinding: clouds of dust, and of lights that could not be seen. Dawn showed many things. It showed a stretch of track straight as a taut bowstring and bedded with dustless road metal. It brought to light the testimony of a man who saw the lights on the rear of the ill-fated train, and with it came the ugly rumor of an engineer asleep at his post and a flagman negligent of his du ty.

Train No. 45 leaves Chicago in two sections, ten minutes apart. Each train is made up of mixed sleepers and day coaches. Ahead of the first section Monday night was train No. 23 of the Illinois Central. A little south of Manteno No. !i3 got a hot box and had to pull up. A flagman was sent back to flag the approaching No. 1 section of train 45. The signal was observed and this section stopped.

Statement of the Flagman*

Oliver C. Duncan, brakeman of this section, says he swung off his train and went back to flnjr the second suction. Section No. 2 of 45 was pounding along behind at the rate of forty-live miles an hour, but the brakeman claims lit had time to go back quite a distance. He says that he signaled the train. His alleged signal was not heeded and the second section tore down upon the rear of the train ahead.

Track Straight for Miles.

The track was straight, and is straight for miles each side of the spot, yet it was not until the headlight of No. 930 gleamed upon the rear coach of the train ahead that Engineer Ames reversed his lever. As he did so he jumped. His fireman stuck to his post

What, happened then is soon told. Driven on by the ponderous weight of engine No. 980, backed by momentum, those two heavy Pullman cars simply came together. Caught between their mammoth mass was the little day coach, and the day coach went to pieces. It was annihilated. The roof was flung off bodily, and one side fell out but of the remainder not a piece the size of a man's hand could be found.

Dead and Injnrqd In One Cars All the dead and all the injured were in the coach that was demolished. There was no telescoping of cars engine No. 980 is a bit bent and the rear sleeper has lost Its roof, but nothing else was damaged. It was only the one car that suffered, and of the people in it not one escaped injury. They were caught and crushed. Eight were tortured to death.

Believe the Engineer Was Asleep. •After the collision the crews of both trains vanished as though they had never been. Among railroad men in lvankakee the belief is openly expressed that the engineer of the second section was sleeping at his post At any rate, according- to the statement of Flagman Duncan, given above, no attention was paid to his signal. Duncan'B story is corroborated by his conductor, W. B. Tanner, one of the oldest employes of the Big Kour system, especially that portion of it which declares that bis signal was not heeded.

Denies a I.ight Was Sent Baek. J. T. Tamscott, fireman of the engine pulling the second section, flatly denies all this. He says no light was sent back and that the first section had no business to be where it was. He said: "The flrst section sent back no light It was due in Kankakee ten minutes before tbe time when the accident took place and we never thought of its being just ahead ot us. When we approached Manteno 1 saw Ames, my engineer, step to the side of the cab and look out. 1 also looked out and saw a little red light ahead that seemed to me to bo a turned switch light. I had no time to jump. The next minute we struck the car ahead of us. The engineer jumped, hut I stuck by the engine and came out all right"

Coroner's Investigation Vegan. Coroner Willman, of Kankakee county, in which Manteno is situated, impaneled a jury and began taking testimony Tuesday afternoon. The two engineers and Fireman Thometz were the only persons examined so far, the inquest having been adjourned until this morning at 9 o'clock. The evidence so far as given tends to show that the cause of the wreck was the lack of bright-red lamps on the rear of the first section of train No. 45.
