At Hammond.

The Indianapolis Kcirs speaking of the military change at Hammond says: "This shifting of military duty is' thought advisable by the Governor, as it will doubtless be several days before the country about Chicago can be relieved of the soldiers. The troops are being kept there to protect property from a possible invasion of strikers from Chicago. The service at Hammond and in that neighborhood has not been play for the soldiers. They have had some severe forced marches, and have day and night patrolled a large tract of country. The militia is made up of young men from every kind of business life, and the Governor thinks their employers should receive some consideration. The companies that were ordered out last night have never seen active service. They have only participated in encampments and experience such as may be obtained at Hammond will, it is believed, be of benefit. There are now only four! companies in the State that have not been in the. service this year. The Governor says the change in forces does not imply that there will be no I encampment this year. That has not been determined.

On account of the brief notice given there was not a full meeting of the Post, but the remarks made indicated but one opinion and that was that the laws must be upheld, and that the Governor and the President must be sustained in their efforts to suppress lawlessness in whatever form it may take or in whatever part of the •State or the country it may occur. A committee consisting of L. A. Foote, T. T. Munhall and M. V. Ii. Smith was appointed to draft resolutions in consonance with these sentiments and transmit copies of the same to Governor Matthews and President Cleveland.

I Terre Haute Exp.c.ts The confesS siou of Edward Holloway is as follows: I "I was employed by the Big Four comparty on the lltli of July and went to I work on the following day. I rode into Fontanet on a freight train, arriving there at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening, July 12. The train was in charge of Conductor Weber, and 1 was rear brakeman. I was in Fontanet when the wreck occurred, which was between 1:20 and 2 o'clock in the morning, and left shortly afterward.

When the train arrived at Carbon a crowd collected at the station and tried to intimidate the train crew. A crowd surrounded me and ordered me to leave the train. 1 refused to desert but went on the Coal Bluff and front there to Fontanet. The train was running slowly and a number of men, including miners and strikers, boarded the train and commenced setting the brakes. They succeeded in stopping the train and then commenced throwing missiles, one of which struck me in the face. The crowd swarmed on the track and threatened to kill me if I didn't get off. 1 got

While euroute from Indianapolis to this city Holloway made another statement to Sheriff Stout and Detective Grady. He said that he had lied in stating that he had accomplices in perpetrating the terrible crime that he had done the work alone and was alone responsible for the deed. On reaching this city he was taken to Coroner Mattox's office, where he made the second confession as follows: "1 make this statement voluntarily,' no coercion or strategy being employed in getting me to make it. My statement made to the coroner of Vigo county yesterday is correct excepting that part of it which relates to opening the switch, and I make this after statement to stop further trouble and to keep innocent men from suspicion. 1 was the one who opened the loek and threw the switch and no one was with me when 1 did it. I opened the. lock by striking it with a coupling pin. after which 1 threw the lock to one side."

Sue-

John R. Courtney died yesterday afternoon in the hospital at Indianapolis where he had been for several months confined by that terrible disease, paresis. He was taken there several months ago for treatment but continued to grew worse until death finally relieved his sufferings.

Mrs. Cochenour anil Mrs. Gen. Carrington. came to Crawfordsville and he entered Wabash College, graduating in the class of 1S73. The year after his graduation he was married to Miss Lizzie Graham, who, with four children, survives him. Mr. Courtney being admitted to the bar of the county come into a good practice and acquired quite a reputation over the State for his brilliancy and ability. He figured in a number of important cases and was always intensely loyal to liis clients, many of whom he defended without remuneration.

Paul were appointed a committe on resolutions to report on the first day of the September term. The pall bearers for the funeral were also appointed.

CARMENCITA WINS A NAME.

lb® Spanish lancer Christened by a Rami of Brigand* While a Captive. "In my time," said Carmeucita, "I have danced before tho queen of Spain and other notables and have been impressed by the surroundings, but no dancing that I ever did had such peculiar and impressive surroundings as one that I did when a littlo girl before a band of Spanish brigands. When I was 16, I was living with my aunt and ttnole, who had a produce farm not very far from Madrid and equally near to tho palace of the Escurial. I was in the habit of loading a donkey with fresh eggs and vegetables for the priests who had charge of the church, and on one particular morning I not only had a heavy load of provisions for the fa-

foam-!

ing soda water tain. the appropriation. Mrs. John Sloan who lives just east of the scene of the tragedy, states that about 8:.'i0 she observed two won en and a man at the dining room window. One clambered through and coming out on the. eneiiclosed porch opened the door. Mrs. Sloan thought this was a part of the initiation, however, and so said noth-

"I wus proceeding along slowly with my donkey, not thinking of anything else except the bull fight I had seen on the previous Sunday, when I was suddenly surrounded by fierce looking men, and in a few minutes I was being hurried down a rocky path into some dark woods, where a tall and dignified man, the chief of the robbers, was lying asleep. He was awakened by our coming and smiled kindly at my poor little trembling self and asked me my namo. 'Carmen,' I exclaimed through my chattering teeth. 'Well, Carmeucita, don't be frightened, and perhaps I will let you go home soon.' I may tell you that I that was the first time I was ever addressed as 'Carmeucita'—Little Carmen —tho same as I now call myself, so I was christened by a brigand, I may say.

.. "Well, I sat down and watched tho Several parties are suspected of ,. robbers making omelets out of my fresh eggs and crunching my crisp onions, and how 1 wished every mouthful would choke them I After awhilo tho chief looked to where I was crouching in a corner and called me to him and made mo drink a big tincupful of wine, and then ho demanded to know where I had hidden tho money for my greataunt's masses. I was dumfounded. 'How do you know that I have any money?' I asked. 'Oh, I know, littlo one. Let us count the shining coins and see if tboro is enough.' And motioning to ono of the women of his hand I was soon relieved of the treasure hidden in my bodice. I implored him not to take it and told him how sure would bo the vengeance of tho holy saints if he robbed them of their dues. "Like most Spaniards, tho bandits were truly religious, and I noticed that my pleading in the name of the church was having its effect on tho other members of the band, and then somebody began playing a mandolin. For a fow minutes everybody listened, and whether it was the wine I drank or what I don't know, but I began tapping the ground with my feet and nodding in tuno with the aria. 'Ah you dance?' said the chief. 'Now, come, littlo ono, see if you can't earn back your mass money.' "I sent up a silent prayer to tho blessed Virgin and followed tho band to a smooth piece of grassy ground just beyond tho cavern. Round this the robbers squatted, tailor fashion, excepting two of them who stood on one side strumming guitars. I danced, and tho good saints must have inspired every movement of my body, for soon tho entire band was clapping their hands and shouting 'Brava, bravissimal' For nearly an hour I continued until I at last had to stop from exhaustion. But when I had finished the robber ohief lifted me in his arms and kissed me and handod mo bark the purse with all tho mass money untouched. Then he told ono of hie men to bring out my donkey, and next ho took off his hat and went around among his band, saying, 'Now, boys, let us pay Carmencita for the good breakfast she brought us.' I heard the olink of money falling in his hat, and in a few minutes lie came to mo and told mo to place my two hands together like a pocket, and then ho poured on my palms a sum far larger than I should have received from tho priests for my farm produce. Then, with two more of his men, ho escorted me and my donkey nearly to the gates of the Escurial, and before he left ho gave me a small, curiously bent piece of iron. 'This,' said he, 'will save you from all molestation in this portion of Spain if you ever have tho fortuno to meet any moro gentlemen of my profession.' "I told my story to the father! at tho palace, and a troop of dragoon* was sent in pursuit, but I am glad to say they did not catch Antanazia Thatiwas the bandit chief's name.
