FOR TEN YEARS.

BANK WRECKER JOHNSON GKT8 THE LAW'S LIMIT ON ONE O N

gent to Columbus, O. Penitentiary to Serve HI* Sentence Which He Received Without Agitation.

^John F. Johnson, the Logansport bank •wrecker, was arraigned in the Federal court at Indianapolis Friday morning before Judge Baker, to answer to an indictment of nine counts. The long indictment was read by District Attorney Wishard,

nn

Bank Examiner Caldwell made a statement. He said that the amount of Johnson's peculations is $364,000, outside of the $1U0,000 borrowed by Johnson from individuals on Ills personal credit. Mr. Caldwell said: "On the 39th day of May I began the examination of the State National Bank of Logansport. In the afternoon of the 19tli Mr. Johnson confessed to me as to the various shortages, some' of which I had discovered. The first discovery I made in the bank, to which I called his attention, was the 'dummy' or forged paper of business firms of Logansport, to the amount of $201,000, as I have it! The next morning Mr. Johnson called on mi- at my hotel, and. in the presence of two of the directors cf the bank, admitted still further shortages which I had not then discovered, $61,500 of which he said was concealed in the certificate of deposit account of the bank, and, as he remembered, $40,00 or $12,000 in the individual ledger. My verification of these Smoks so far reveals the $61,500 in the iritiiieale of deposit account, and $27,000 shortage in the individual ledger. I have still further found from outside sources certificates of deposit of $75 000—one of $30.wo and one of $25,000—issued by Johnson without authority of the board of directors, and without the making of any record on the books of the bank between the dates of May li and May 12."

John Jt. lison, one of tin1 attorneys for J.dnison, then read a number of affidavits sworn to by many Logansport citizens. attesting Johnson's good character in everything outside of his present crime.

A lengthy written statement by Mr. Johnson was then read in which he pleaded sui!ly and admits everything charged against him and sets forth what he claimed were the circumstances leading up to his criminal actions, the principal one being the debt of $136,000 said to have been inherited from his father. -Mr. Wilson, attorney for Mr. Johnson, then made a plea for mercy for his client after which Attorney Wishard made a brief statement on behalf of the government. stating that the eoim could not do le.ss than to give the prisoner a sentence of ten years.

Judge Baker then said: "You may come forward, Mr. Johnson." and Johnson iiuictly walked from his seat and stood facing the judge. "Have you anything that you wish to say to the court us to why the court should not proceed to pronounce judgment on your plea of guilty?" "Nothing whatever: no. sir, except what has been said." replied the prisoner. an almost inaudible voice without displaying emotion.

Judge Baker then proceeded to pass sentence at considerable length, closing as follows: "Now under this statute, under which you have been Indicted, every separate ofiense is made punishable by imprisonment of not less than live nor more than ten e,irs. In this indictment there are a number of separate offenses charged. The court would have the power, if it thought proper, to inflict a separate and cumulative sentence upon each count in tile indictment. That, however, would be entirely disproportionate to the measure of punishment that in my judgment ought to be inflicted. But I do think, •and it is the judgment of the court, that the court would not perform the full measure of Its duty if it did not assess upon yo-,: the full punishment of the law for one infraction of it. So that the sentence of the court is that you be imprisoned in the state prison at Columbus, O., for the period of ten years, _:id that the .marshal be charged with the execution of that sentence."

Mr. Johnson was taken to Columbus on ,. .Saturday. By making "good time" he can reduce his term of imprisonment to seven y«..'Irs. but it is supposed that he expects a pardon long before that time has expired.

AN UNACCEl'TAltLli "ANG ICLt."

Tlio Michigan Professor Persona Noil Grata to the Sultan.

Professor Angell. of the University of Michigan, who was appointed minister to Turkey by President Mclvlnley anwas promptly confirmed by the Senate. Is persona non grata to the Sultan of Turkey. The State Department was notified by the Turkish minister that his government refused to receive the new minister. The grounds for the action of the Turkish government are not yet stated, but It is understood that an old speech of Prof. Angell containing some criticisms of the "sick man of Europe," has found its way into the hands of the Turks. This government is powerless in the matter if the Sultan refuses to receive Prof. Angell. and nothing is left to President MeKinley but to appoint another minister to Turkey.

Got. Mount at Winona.

Eagle Lake special: Governor Mount appeared before the General Assembly soon after the session opened, as chairman of the committee on ministerial relief.

He Introduced the report of his committee by saying: "I consider it a great honor that in my Stato I am placed at the head of the charitable, benevolent and reformatory institutions. 1 think the most enduring monuments erected in my State are the buildings pointing heavenward, dedicated to the work of charily and love—institutions where wo care tenderly for the unfortunate wards of our Stale. I consider it. a great honor conferred upon me that I am permitted, as chairman of the ministerial relief committee of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America, to submit this report. 1 believe the greatest monument built by our church ought to be that of love and charity, and the board of which 1 speak is the channel through which those Christian graces should be exemplified." (Applause.)

Bobiiya as State Senator from Allen and Whitley counties, the resignation being required on account of Mr. Bobilya's having been appointed auditor of Allen county to fill a vacancy caused by death. As there will be no further services required from the Senator unless in case of a special session, the vacancy will probably not be filled till the election of next year.

TILLMAN RAMPANT.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR VIGOROUSLY USKS HIS PITCHFORK.

Demands Immediate Investigation of Scandalous Charges In Connection With the Sugar Schedule.

Washington special: "Pitchfork" Tillman made some wild charges today regarding speculation by Senators which

the Senate would like very much to ignore, but the Senators who feel that way do not know that they can afTord to do so. A speech of Senator Aldrich, in which he stamped the reports of corruption as false and defamatory and courting the fullest investigation, may not satisfy the country, and another committee may be found necessary. The resolution calling for the appointment of such a committee has been referred to one of the most inert committees in the Senate— that of contingent expenses—over which Senator Jones: of Nevada, presides. It takes a volcanic explosion to move Senator Jones to action and it may be some time before a report is made, if at all. on the Tillman proposition. The "pilchforker's" speech was no less dramatic in its delivery than sensational in its allegations. He preceded it by presenting a resolution for the appointment of a special committee of five Senators to investigate charges of speculation by Senators while the tariff bill was before the committee. In advocating the resolution Mr. Tillman threw aside the usual conventionalities of the Senate, and with a plainness of speech seldom heard about the halls of Congress called on his associates to investigate the published charges of senatorial speculation, anil if found true, purge the Senate of those who debauched it. Mr. Aldrlch. in charge of the tariff bill, answered Mr. Tillman in a sweeping denial.

Mr. Tillman's resolution, .after reciting the proceedings in the Chapman and Havemeyer trials. Is as follows:

Whereas, Within the last thirty days sundry newspaper correspondents have openly charged Senators with speculating in sugar stocks while the sugar schedule is under discussion ,and also charged that brokers In New York knew in advance as to what the Senate finance committee would report as to the sugar schedule, all of which Involved a question of the highest privilege, to-wit, the right of the Senate to protect its members from slander and to protect the body as a whole from these open charges of corruption therefore, be it "Resolved, That a committee of five be appointed, with power to send for persons and papers, to employ a stenographer and administer oaths, to inquire into the truth or falsehood of the charges made in May, 1894, and into the charges recently made, and the scope of the investigation shall cover everything embraced in the resolution of May 17, 1894, as well as the methods pursued by the American

Sugar Refining Company, better known as the Sugar Trust, in controlling legislation in its favor at the present time, and especially whether it has in any wise contributed to or controlled the election of a Senator in this body at any time."

DEADLY DUEL IN TEXAS.

Two Young Men Quarrel and Deliberately Make Targets of Each Other.

Sweethome, Tex., special: The people of the neighborhood were assembled at Salem Church, eight miles from here, Sunday in observance of Memorial Day. Two young men. Will Lewis and Wit Bosworth, were among the number. Bad blood existed between them, too much talk being the cause. They walked away from the crowd together and stopped after going some distance, appearing to talk the matter over very calmly. One turned as if to leave, when the other drew a revolver. The other wheeled and both fired about the same instant, and continued until their revolvers were empty. Both were dead when their friends got to them. Every bullet fired by each man took effect in his oppo­

nent.

Lewis was shot three times

through the body and once through the arm. Boswortn was hit twice In the leg. The duel could have been prevented but every one thought when they walked away they were likely to patch up their troubles, and as this was desired they were allowed a clear field.

Indians Constructing an Air Ship from Newspaper Illustration.

Phoenix, A. T„ special: The air-ship craze has Invaded the Pina Indian reservation. After a big pow-wow which lasted many days the young men of the tribe set to work early last week,_ under the direction of two of the chief medicine men, to construct the aerial navigation ship from a model found in one of the illustrated weekly papers that, reaches tlio reservation. Work has progressed to the point where the thing has assumed defllnite shape and design.

The ship Is a can-shaped affair and the propeller is a huge revolving wheel, very much like that which appears In the illustrations of most of the standard airships. Charles Barnett, who has arrived from the reservation, says the Indiana will surely attempt to launch their contrivance from the highest perpendicular bluff on the Pima reservation.

Havemeyer Not Guilty.

H. O. Havemeyer, the sugar magnate, on trial at Washington for several days for contempt of the Senate in refusing to answer questions, was acquitted according to the Judge's instructions. Havemeyer was indicted for refusing to tell the committee about his contributions to local political campaign funds, he having previously given similar information about contributions towards campaigns involving federal elections. The belief which has been growing lately that it would be held that Havemeyer had not actually been in contempt of the investigating committee proves to have been sound.

Tlio Things They l»o.

Charles Lamb once said: '"Books think for me." So the modern,housewife might say: "Advertisements think for me." Ot course, they do not render individuality of thought superfluous they have not attained to that perfection. But they have advanced so far that in many cases it is easier for a woman to find out her actual needs by turning to the morning newspaper than by overhauling her closets and her wardrobes.—Philadelphia Record.

(MICTS'REBELLIOS

OPEN REVOLT OF NEARLY SEVEN HUNDRED MEN AT SAN yUENTIN, CAL.

Oatllng Guns Trained on the Cells of the Mutineers—Prisoners Form Itarrlvade and Wrcck the Dungeons.

A serious revolt broke out In the California State Prison at San Quentin last week. The trouble started in the demand of the prisoners for the restoration of certain privileges. Eor one thing their cigarette papers were shut oft and they were not allowed to receive fresh fruit from the outside any more, as much opium had been smuggled into the prison with it. Thursday the men in the jute mill refused to work and were put Into solitary confinement, with bread and water diet. Then came the wrecking of the dungeons, and now every department of the prison is affected and no one knows what the end will be, for there are 1,500 desperate prison*, rs to cope with and the prison officials seem unequal to the task and unwilling to call in outside .aid. It is said that the governor will remove War-. den Hale.

A San Francisco special of Monday' says: The situation regarding the recalcitrant convicts at Sail Quentin prison remains unchanged. The rebellious prisoners stdl maintain their defiant attitude nnd make as much noise as possible whenever a guard shows himself. Despite the fact that he expressed the opinion that the lnsubordlnates are weakening. Warden Halo has doubled his guards and armed every available man within the precincts of the prison with shot guns, while Gatllng guns are trained upon the cells occupied by the mutineers.

At Intervals of every ten minutes yesterday the prison was a pandemonium. The convicts yelled, beat upon the steel doors, and in every conceivable way raised disturbances. Tlio spread of disaffection was shown at dinner time. When the prisoners not under restraint left tin dining-room each grabbed a chunk of bread and as many potatoes aa possible. The orders of the guards to drop the bread were unheeded. As these marched by the cells they threw tho victuals to the men in confinement. Then Capt. Edgar went down the line and told the convicts that any man who stuck hia he,ad through the wicket of his cell dooi would be shot dead. Tho guards wera given strict instructions to carry out thfl order.

There are now COO men In close confinement. Seventy arc on broad and water allowance once a day and the others have tho same diet twice a day. Tho warden's plan is to decrease tho bread and thus starve the men into submission.

The seventy are the men who tore down the walls of the dungeon, supposed to be tho strongest part of the prison. Th« convicts dug their way out of their cells, barricaded the entrance to their place ol confinement with fourteen heavy cell doors, re-inforced with a sack of balls and chains, and tore down tho brick partition between the cells and provided themselves with weapons in the shape ol bricks and chains. Wtih ball and chain they battered down the masonry and all got out Into the corridor. There they wrenched off the three-hundred-pound steel doors and formed a barricade neat the entrance to thp dungeons.

When the officers found out what was going on they opened the outer door and the. convicts greeted them with a showei of bricks, knocking down several of th« guards. The order was given to fire and a shower of bullets went into t'..u corridor, but the convicts had run behind theii barricade, and only one man was Injured He was Oliver W. WInthrop, who kid. napped Millionaire Campbell of Hawaii in iin attempt to extort money. A spent bullet struck him in the breast. Inflicting a light wound. The guards were the« armed with pick handles and amid another shower of bricks, entered the corridor, overpowered the desperate men and removed them to steel cells. The dungeons are a complete wreck.
