PETTIT'B BODY

Was Buried Beside His Father at Oswego, and Hot Beside Mrs. Pettit. The Oswego (N. Y.) Palladium of Monday, commenting upon the death of Fettit, says: "His body arrived here to-day, and ia at Dain'a undertaking rooms. It was the dying wish of Pettit that his body be buried beside that of his wife at West Monroe. The friends Mrs. Pettit were notified, but they refused to reoeiye the body of the man who had killed the woman he had promised to love and cherish, BO the remains will be buried here." This extract is a simple statement of the facts in the caee. Mrs. Baker, Petlit's aunt, upon receipt of Warden French's telegram announcing his death and request to be buried beside his dead wife, wired the warden to send on the remains, and addiessed Mrs. Shields a note informing her of the facts, and the request. Mrs. Shields' answer was a peremptory refusal to permit it so the remains were held at Oswego, and buried in the cemetery there beside those of his father, and there they rest. Pettit's mother, his only near relative, has lost her reason in consequence of his trouble, and is living a helpless, but harmless, maniac with

Mrs. Baker, She does not know that her son iB dead, and the family are keeping the knowledge from her, apprehending that it would but hasten the end. Lafayette Call.

Where Our Qas Games From. The Indiana Natural and Illuminating Gas Company which now owns the plants at Lebanon, Frankfort Thorntown and this city now has about forty wells in the Sheridan fields. They are all piped to the regulator which is located one mile north of Sheridan, and from there the gas is sent on its errand of good oheer to the different cities, The old Lebanon line has been taken up and an eight inch line put down connecting with the main line at Pike's Crossing. A line also has been run from .the Sheridan regulator oonnecting the Frankfort line at Kempton, twelve miles north. The Frankfort line runs on east into the Elwood fields where the company has a good supply of wells, so that, as a matter of fact, a portion of the gas that Crawfordsvilie consume comee from that part of the State. At the regulating station the company owns an acre of land on which there is an ex eel lent well. Besides the regulatiDg machinery the aore oontains a handsome cottate, a barn and a shop, and all neat ly and well kept, making it a most d* eirable home for the superintendent. Judging from the number of wells now in use in both the Sheridan and Elwood fields aad the number that are being constantly added, Crawfordsvilie can rest assured that it will be supplied with an abundance of gas for many years to come.

1 rait Tree Swindlers.

A newfrnit tree swindle haa developed in several counties in the State. One method of operations is to represent that a big mill is being built in Whitely referring to the Whitely malleable iron works, and that the mill will contract for all the grapes raised in this county at 5 cents per pound. On the strength of this argument one woman purchased one thousand grape vines. Another man formed a partnership in the nursery business with the agent and ordered $500 worth of trees. It now develops that the order he signed stated that the company was in no WBy responsible for any contraot entered into with their agents, and the man now has the material to start a good nursery and dispose of it as he pleasee, but haa no partner ship or experience. Another alle that the agent delivered a 625 order to his home in his absence, and that the agent induced his wife to sign a note for $35. In this deal the agent expeots to make $10.

Smallpox Patients flare Bights. Secretary Metcalf, ot the State Board of Health, has returned from Muncie, where he was called to see an obstreperous smallpox sufferer who refused to be sent to the hospital. The secretary, after looking up the law, ascertained that a oitizen has aright to the refusal of hospital treatment if he eo desiree and is able to maintain suitable medical attendance and nurses. However, little diplomacy on the part of the Doo tor had its effect, and the stubborn pa tient was carted to the hospital without difficulty.—Indianapolis Jour'al.

THE WBATTEN BUTCHERY

The OonfesBion of Stone—The Tidal Wave of Orime—Its Cause and Kemedy. LCorrespondence of The Journal.]

WASHINGTON, Ind., Oct. 23, 1893.—I suppose of course that all your readers are familiar with the shocking butchery of the Wratten family near this city on the night ot Sept. 18. It was, when you understand the details, the most horrible thing of the kind in Indiana criminal annals. A helpless, wasted man, his unprotected wife and three helpless children, the youngest not three years old, and an aged woman being literally chopped to pieces with corn knives and hatchets. For over a month the dews have been hidden, although the deed was committed by some of the nearest neighbors. The grand jury was in session here last week and succeeded in getting a clew, which it worked well, and at midnight Saturday night James Stone, a mere suspect, weakened and told the whole story, his wife having given the jury a hint. He implicated six men with him. The self confessed murderer furnishes a psyoologloal study. He has always been considered a good oitizen, though given to lying at timee. He comee ot a good family, hie father being a Justice of the Peace, and bis brothers good men. He says he took no hand in the -murder, getting there after the work was done, but that he was taken into the house by his companions and rolled on the iioor in the blood and the bloody knivee and hatchets were wiped on his clothes. These he washed at the spring, hid the bloody pants in the garret where they were found Sunday morning, and went to bed, telling his wife that the blood spots on his shirt came from a tooth he had had palled at Glendale, he having gotten up at midnight to go there. The next morning early he went by order ot the orowd to the Wratten home, "discovered" the dead bodies and gave the alarm. All day he mixed freely among the people, assisted undertaker Bon ham, of this oity, to wash, dress and lay out the bodies of the dead family, and acted as pallbearer at the funeral. All the time he evidenced the keenest interest in the searoh tor the murderers and has been unceasing in his efforts, talking freely to the officers. He is a nephew ot the old lady Wratten, and seemed very anxious "that her murderer be brought to justice. He was a very religions man, held family prayers twice daily. Saturday morning when the deputy sheriff went out to summon him before the grand jury, it was before breakfast, and Stone called all the faml ly into the front room, explaining to the officer their custom. They sang a song, read a chapter and he offered a fervent prayer to God to bless his family, and to do justice to all, and twelve hours later he had made the bloody confession which drives the nails in his coffin and in those of probably six more. The investigation proves his story in the main oorrect, one ot the arrested men corroborating him in several particulars though not making a confession. The entire lot were taken secretly to Jeffersonville

Sunday morning, as the maddened peowould have lynched them at once. All day Sunday and Monday the streets of Washington were thronged with an exoited crowd, and when- the men are brought baok here for arraignment, no prophet can tell what will happen. The State militia has been ordered to be in readiness to repel any attack.

The spirit of orime seems to be rampant in this section of the State. There are no less than a dozen unpunished murders in this county, the record of the past twenty years. Barns have been burned promiscuously over Daviess county and even in the oity of Wash ington incendiary fires have been kindled. Men have been found dead with no clew as to who killed them. The court house was burned, the Wratten family butohergd and this morning an old man came to the city from Reeve township bearing a large bundle of beech switches left at his door by White Caps last night. The murders and outrages in southern Indiana and the train robbers at Kendallville in the north, with the Wesner-Brown tragedy in the oenter, and innumerable lesser crimes throughout the State Indiana is fast establishing her reputation as a border State. If she only had a Kentucky feud and would burn a darkey or two, the laurels of Texas would be gone. Why these things are so is a mystery.

We have ohurches and schools everywhere and as high a state of civilization as anywhere in the Union, yet a wave of crime seems to have swept over the State. It is a condition of affairs well worthy the study of our philanthropists, Christians and statesmen. But these are things the Indiana Legislature is a stranger to. When the saloon and dead beat element rules in politios we cannot expect anything less than anarchy and orime. Those things shook the publio mind tor a short time only and do not make the impreesion they should. They indicate that anew regime must take hold of things, and men with the welfare of the country and its citizens at heart must supplant mere politioal time servers, whose selfish purposes gained, have no farther interests at stake. Anarchy and murder, the terrorizing of the public, the paralyzing of justice are nothing, provided their spoon is in the politioal flesh pot. I can only aocount for orime on the theory of bad government, and cite the rebellions action of Green Smith as the beginning ot the

end. There is not an honest Democrat in Indiana who will not admit that the action of the Legislature of that historic session wns revolutionary, and the leckless spirit of a legislative body, bred the same spirit in the lower clawes of Bn entire State.

'. Pine fiidge Indians. Purdue defeated Chioago University yesterday by a score of 20 to 10. Purdue has an elegant team and its work is a credit to the State. Her team work is better than ever before and she is able to cope with any team .west of the Alleghaney mountains.

One feature ot the game played at Lafayette, however, is not a credit to Indiana, Lafayette, Purdue University or anything else save that barbarous, heathen instinct which animates the ignorant and bloodthirsty Pine ltidge Indians. From the moment the guests appear rn the field. until their back disappears after the game they are made the objects of the disgusting ridicule and insulting taunts and epithets ot the uncouth Purdue students and ill mannered hoodlums of Lafayette. Nothing like it has ever before disgraced inter-collegiate contests in the country and oauses all visitors to go away disgusted with Pardue and thankful that their lives have been spared. Yesterday, during the first half, when it looked as though the Chicago team would win, affairs BEHU med a most threatening aspect. There were cries to kill Stagg, to stone the team and to mob the umpire, Mr. McCord, who is Purdue's umpire, and a most fair one in all respects. Big men jumped the fence, taking off their coats, and the unshaved students filled the air with their odious language. The Wabash boyB may expeot a rougher reception by the crowd than by the team, and that promisee to be rough enough.

i: A Pretty Wedding.

A beautiful wedding was that of George Thomas, Jr., and Miss ElHe Alexander, which was solemnized at noon Oct. 25, at the residence of the bride's father, G. W. Alexander, near Elmdale, in the presence of a large oompany of their relatives and friends. Promptly at the hour appointed the bride and groom, preceded by the attendants, Dook Alexander, brother of the bride, and Miss Josie Beadle, faced the officiating clergyman, liev. M. H. Appleby, and were united for life, after the beautiful ritual of the Methodist Episcopal chnrch. The wedding march was beautifully placed during the ceremony by MisB Roxie Snyder, of Wingate, and to the brilliant strains the guests repaired to the dining room, where a sumptuous dinner was served. The bride was attired in flesh colored LanBdowne, trimmed with Duchesse lace and pearls, and presented a charm ing picture of beauty and grace. The many elegant presents testified to the high esteem in which the couple are held. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas are among the most worthy young people in the oounty, and their large circle ot friends wish them a prosperous journey through lite. They go to housekeeping at once upon the farm of Mr. Thomas, a few miles north of Crawfordsvilie.

^The Moose Kicks.

Fred Lee, Terre Haute, John A. Wise, Lafayette, Wm. J. Klein, Cincinnati, and John Snyder, Crawfordsvilie, represent' ing the National Loyal Order of Moose, arrived in the city late Tuesday afternoon, and prepared an injunction complaint to be filed in the Federal Court against H. O. Sontag, of Cleveland, who, they allege, is trying to'nsurp the constitution and by-laws ot the old order and start anew one with himself grand dictator. Sontag was defeated for that offioe at the last election and they claim that his action in starting new order is) prompted by jealousy.— Indianapolis Sun.
