Tho fact that the trees wither and dio while in a thrifty growing condition renders tho natural gas theory plausible.
MAKES A CONFESSION.
Ed Holloway Says He Helped Mis
place the Switch That Caused the Disastrous Wreck at Fontanet.
It was a great surprise to the people of this city when Ed Holloway was arrested as a suspect of being implicated in tho wreck of tho passenger train at Fontanet last week. It was a matter of greater astonishment, however, when tho confession below was mado by him. Until the first of June Ed was employed at the electric light works in this city, when ho went to Indianapolis to secure work and soon accepted a position as brakeman on tho St. Louis division of the Big Four. Ho was a member of tho P. O. S. of A. commandery and also of Company I, and was considered an honest and law abiding citizen. llo has retained Whito & Reeves and T. L. Stilwell, of this city, and Tom Davis, of Terro Haute, as his counsol. Messrs. Reeves and Stilwell went to Terro Haute on Tuesday and held a counsel with Holloway in tho jail there. To them ho stated that ho had nothing to do in throwing tho switch, but the next day made a full confession to the railroad's attorneys as it appeared in Wednesday's Terro Haute Gazette: "My name is Edward M. Holloway, am .30 years old and reside at 3 -13Y Virginia avenue. Indianapolis I was employed by tho Big Four company on the 11th of July and wont to work the following day. I rodo into Fontanet on a freight train, arriving thero at 7:30 o'clock Thursday evening, July 12th. The train was in charge of Conductor Weber and 1 was a rear brakeman. I was in
Fontanet when tho wreck occurred which was between 1:20 and 2 o'clock in the morning and left shortly afterward. "When tho train arrived at Carbon a crovvd collected at tho station and tried to intimidate the train
rcrow.
A crowd
surrounded mo and ordered me to leave the train. 1 refused to desert but went on to Coal Bluff and from thero to Fontanet. The train was running slowly and a number of men, including minors and strikers, boarded tho train and commenced setting the brakes. They succeeded in stopping the train and then commenced throwing missiles one of which struck me in tho face. The crowd swarmed on the train and threatened to kill mo if I didn't get off. 1 got down as best I could and found myself surrounded by an angry mob. They said: 'Wo aro going to stop tho trains if we have to wreck the whole thing and you have got to help do it.' The crowd, myself included, waited around until nearly midnight when six or eight of them went to tho switch, forcing me to accompany them. One of the party said to me, 'you will havo to help throw the switch and get the freight train off. If you refuse wo will hang you.' The men had a hammer which was handed to me with the remark. 'Here, you will havo to pound that lock and get it off.' I hit it a few licks but my hands being soro from handling the brakes they took the hammer away from mo and one of tho party knocked the lock off and threw it away. They then asked me to raise tho handle of the switch, and being in their power and unable to got away 1 complied. 1 raised the switch bar up a little ana then some of tho rest of them took hold of it and adjusted it to their own satisfaction. Ono of them said: 'That will be about right. We'll let it go at that. Wo don't want the red light to show or the trainmen will see it and stop.' I moved tho switch just a little and then the others handled it and moved it a little more. That occurred not more than can hour before the train came along. After the switch was thrown we scattered off and hid in some weeds near the track. We remained thero until the crash came. One of the men said: 'I don't care how many of tho scabs are killed." After the crash all of us scattered. 1 started west with two other men. We went about a mile and I then got separated from them. I walked northwest on the C. & I. C. tracks to Rosedalo. Before 1 left the crowd they threatened to hang mo if I ever revealed anything about throwing tho switch."
Holloway testified that ho reached Jessup at 5 o'clock and told several citizens of that place that men were stopping trains at Fontanet. Ho didn't think ho told about the wreck. He met a man a short distance this side of Rockvillo and told nim thero had been a wreck at Fontanet in which tho engineer and fireman wore killed. Tho man mentioned is Isaac Davis, who has been hero and identified Holloway as tho man who told him about tho wreck.
In answer to questions by Coroner Mattox, Holloway said that the track was fixed to wreck a freight train and the men apparently did not know that a passenger train would be wrecked. Ho claims that the men who were with him and who helped to throw the switch are total strangers to him.
Holloway said he wa6 not a member of the A. R. U. or any other railroad order. Tho only organization of any kind of which he is a member is the Patriotic Sons of America, Washington camp No. G,

Tho doleful sounding of tho electric light wbistlo on Tuesday morning soon had our population in an uproar and many were tho anxious inquiries as to the ominous call. Tho arrival of the military company of Covington, under tho command of Capt. Earl McCampbell, formerly of this city, only added to the deep suspicion of those who feared there was troublo ahead. Tho report soon spread to the country that a large number of people had been killed by a dastardly dynamite bomb at Chicago, and that 10,000 A, R. U. men had gone out on a strike. it had a glad and soothing effect, however, when Capt. Lamb gave out tho information that his company and that of McCampbell had only been called to Hammond to relieve the companies who havo been on guard duty thero for about two weeks. In this way all the State companies will get a taste of actual service aad thereby preclude the necessity of a State encampment this year. The two companies left on tho aftevneon train and many were tho fond good bys and tender admonitions to bo true to their trust from parents and sweethearts as the train departed from the station.
The following is tho list of tho boyB who composed the company: W I.nmb, Capl Clins Wllhite. 1st Clms Williams, :M I. lint Williams 1st S Chas t'ritler, •lames Dinneen, 2d S Win MeNeoly, Stli Kd Guthrio, 1st Albert Sweoten, r.tti S 1 Inward Scott, :id Clareneo Newell llarlcy Nutt Will Hutulior Clms Benson Wm 15ea.ii Oni 1) Cook Goo Cole wm Kiannican Thomas Kara i,ei l-'aust WillLarriok Wm Konyon iny MeMain« Gordon Robinson Ed Sorgont steward Vest Tnu'iiy t'WWray W IlurrotiKh- Robert Ilartman I. illiauis l-'orost Youuk Thomas Foster W Johnson Harry SergeM Cyo I.ytli Thomas Ni.iiol-s Chas Socman' A1 S'h!• 'jt iy Walter Scoring Wm Tinsley Chas Wray Wm A Whito John Williams 1 oin -Snyder John Goodman .lake Hendricks
Tho police force earned their salary Wednesday night, as the toughs seemed to bo out for a rough time. Goose Nibble seemed to bo pining for fresh notority ana got it. A gang had been gu/.v.ling quire freely and when police JauK Banister attempted to take Jack O'Neal he was pounced upon by tho crowd and Jack was released. Tho entire police forco was soon on the scene and the gang safely landed in jail.
Johnson B. Harris, who sails under the suggestive sobriquet of "Bull" Harris, and John Osbom settled their differences by getting into a street fight and afterward settled with tho Mayor. Altogether it was a night on the bowery and tried the nerve of tho now night policemen.
Ociilli of John I£. Courtney.
Death came to poor John R. Courtney at Indianapolis Tuesday afternoon
at 4
o'clock. His brother-in-law, Dr. Frank West, was at his bedside when he expired. His mind has been almost completely gone for some timo and other disabilities rendered him as helpless as
a
child. The remains were brought to this city on the midnight train. Dr. Greene conducted the funeral service at the home on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock. The members of the local bar attended the service in a body and tho following of their number acted as pall bearers: S. C. Kennedy, Read Hanna, Will Maxedon, frank Hurley, Wallaco Sparks and Frank Abraham. A most brave and devoted wife and four lovely children are left to mourn. Tho internment was in Oak Hill.

On Wednesday night burglars broke into 1' iolds, Coons tfc Hays' hardware store at Waynetown and carried off a lot of knives, revolvers, etc. Entrance was gained from the rear of the store. The jewelry of Charley Owens' was also visited, and after decorating with such articles as suited the taste, his slyness departed as easily as he entered. At last reports there was no clue to the miscroants.
