hat the Good 01*1 County of Montgomery Has Done For the Homeless Children Within Her lSordert*.
Started by the earnest efforts cot' a few philanthropic persons and liberally supported by public spirited county commissioners, the Orphans' Home of Montgomery county has done an untold amount of good in the fourteen years of its existenA. And just now it is entering upon a career of even greater usefulness. The present Board of Commissioners, seeing its great need, decided that the Association should have a new commodious and permanent Home built especially for the purpose. As we all know they purchased a beautiful site in Britton's Glen, just west of the city on the Yountsville road, and on it are erecting a structure which will be a pride to every citizen. It is our pleasure to-day to present to our readers a picture of the Home and the plans of its first and second story, all of which
an
are presented to the public now for the first time. The building, as will be seen, stands in a beautiful grove of trees well back from the road. The generous yard and and comforting shade will be a lasting sourse of benefit and pleasure to the unfortunate children who come within its boundaries. The Home is substantially built of brick with a slate roof and while not ornate in architectural design neither is it plain. The plans of the two floors show it to be admirably adapted to the purpose for which it is intended. There are plenty of closets, a sick room, two stairways, a bath room, a play room, two large dormitories, besides several bed rooms. In looking at the plans as they appear here the bottom is north, the top south, the right hand west and the

left side east. The building is not quite completed, the contractor, Mr. Tinsley, having been delayed by the strike, but it will be ready for occupancy by October 1. The cost of it will be about 87,000.
This will be the sixth location of the Orphans' Home since its organization. It was first at the home of tke first matron, Mrs. Wishard, on the corner of Wabash avenue and Marshall street. It was then removed to the home of the second matron, Mrs. Hell, on Wabash street. In a short time the old Thomson place, on the Elm street hill, was secured and while that place was being used the present matron, Mrs. Iliner, was secured. The next Home was the one on the Yountsville road which burned a year and a half ago. The fifth location is the present one, on the corner of Washington and Jefferson streets.

IN DEEP WATER.
Ed Holloway, a Crawt'ordsvillo Boy, Until Lately in the Electric Light Plant, Charged with An
Awful Crime.
DID HE WRECK THE BIG 4 TRAIN?
lie In Arrested uiui In Jail oil Suspicion of Ii:\ving Caused the Horrible Wreck on the Big 4 at Fontunet!
Ed Holloway, a well-known young man of Crawfordsville, is in jail at Terre Haute charged with being connected with the awful railroad wreck on the Big 4 at Fontanet last Thursday night, in which the engineer and fireman lost their lives and a number of innocent people injured. Until the
first of June Holloway was employed as trimmer at the electrit light works and then left for Indianapolis, where his mother resided, to look for work. He is a. brother-in-law of Wm. Sinkey, of west Franklin street, and resided with him prior to his leaving here. He was a hard working, industrious young man, during his residence here, and was respected by all. People here will be very loathe to believe that he was connected with such an awful crime. The Terre Haute Express of Sunday gives the following account of the arrest and the incidents surrounding it: I Ld Holloway, a non-union railroader, who was employed by the Big 4 Co. to take the place of one of the strikers, and who deserted his train at Fontanet just a few hours before the fatal wreck, was arrested Friday morning at Roelcville and is now in jail here, awaiting investigation. His leave-takiug of
Fontanet immediately after the wreck and his early appearance in Rockville, with details of the horrible affair before the morning papers had reached that town, created suspicion. In is said that after the morning Express arrived at Rockville, Holloway walked up to a man who was reading the paper and began a criticism of the account of the wreck. When asked how he happened to know so much about the affair he failed to give satisfactory answers to questions and the Rockville Marshal put him in jail. The Rockville officer at once notified Sheriff Stout, who immediately sent Deputy Sheriff Crosen to Rockville to see if he could identify the suspect as ene of the men seen about the freight trains before the wreck and while the Sheriffs weie trying to move the captured train. No sooner had Croson entered the Rockville jail than he pointed out Holloway among half a dozen other prisoners. He identified him as the man whom he had'Caught in the act of pulling coupling-pins and aiding the miners in setting brakes. Croson says that he ordered Holloway away from the train, and a few moments later he caught him in the act of pulling another coupling-pin. When he recognized Holloway as the same man he had ordered away but a moment before, Croson drew his revolver and pointing it at Holloway said: "I have told you to keep away from this train often enough. Now, you lift that pin and III shoot." He says Holloway then dropped the pin and went from between the cars. This was the last Croson saw of Holloway until the train started to back to Coal Bluff, the Sheriff announcing the intention to come back through Fontanet at a high rate of speed. When the train started back for Coal Bluff, Croson claims to have seen Holloway standing near the track with a crowd of miners, who were gesticulating in apparent bad bad temper.
Holloway denies having talked to any person between Fontanet and Rockville concerning the wreck or even the trouble. lie also denies having ever seen Deputy Sheriff Croson before his arrest. The suspect has made several statements and no two are alike.
An Express reporter visited the suspect in his cell yesterday and from him obtained a statement which in many instances conllicts with the several
stories he has told since being closely questioned regarding the time of his departure from Fontanel, his arrival at Rockville and his movements between the two points. The following is Holloway's statement to the Express man: "The company misrepresented the state of affairs to me by telling me there was no trouble. I needed work to support my mother and accepted the position offered me on the company's assurance that the old men had been discharged and that the trouble was all over. I left Indianapolis on the last section of No. 43, and when I reached Carbon, east of Fontanet, was told my some men, whom 1 took to be railroad men, that the first three sections of the train were held up at Fontanet. The men at Carbon tried to induce me to quit the train, telling me that if I would leave the train they would give me what I wanted to eat and furnish mo transportation back to Indianapolis. I told them I could not do this, as to desert the train before the end of the trip would make me liable to prosecution. I told them I would finish the trip and then quit. They then told me 1 would never finish the trip. I did not understand what they meant by such talk. The train left Carbon witeout being molested further than the strikers calling me and the rest of the trains scabs. When the train reached Fontanet 1 found the other trains in charge of the miners— I guess they were miners. When the train stopped for coal the other brakenian left the cab and 1 remained in the caboose. Three men came in the cab and one of them called me a of a of a scab and told me to get out of there or he would kick my insides out. lie struck me at the same time and that caused the scar on my face. I was no match for the three men and so got my coat and
left the train. 1 walked along the track a piece and one of the strikers told me 1 had better get out of town. It was then 8:00 or 8:15 o'clock. I left, going across a cornfield in the direction of Rosedale. I sat down in the field and rested for a while. I theu started and walked to Rosedale, getting into Rosedale about i) o'clock. I asked a man where I could get something to eat and he directed me. We did not talk about the strike or the trouble at Fontanet. I then went to a restaurant where I got a lunch, after which I crawled under some boards lying across the top of a car and slept until 4:.'t() Friday morning. When I awoke 1 started north on the railroad track and walked to Judson, where I stopped a few moments. Did not talk to anybody at Judson about the strike or the trouble at Fontanet. Leaving Judson, 1 walked to Rockville, arriving there about 7::i0 o'clock in the morning. I talked to nobody in Rockville about the strike, further than to tell some man I do not know who he was) that they had captured the trains at Fontanet and I had been driven from a train and out of town by the strikers. 1 never saw Deputy Sheriff Croson or any of the other Sheriffs until after I was arrested and in jail at Rockville."
Holloway was taken from the jail to Lamb and Beasley's office last night, where lie made another statement, which, in many important instances, conllicts with the statement printed above and the almost impossible statement he made to the officers prior to meeting the Express reporter. The fact that the suspect has not told the story twice alike causes the officers to believe they have the right man or one that knows more about the dastardly deed than he is willing to divulge.J ,» Messrs. Lamb and Beasley, who are managing the case for] the Big Four Company, caused the suspect to be brought to their offices for an examination, that they might decide his varied statements which give rise to a probability of guilt. As guilt could be the only reason for such an array of misstatements, the atiorneys believe that circumstances warrant a thorough investigation. Notwithstanding that three hours before Holloway told the Express man that the bruise on his face was caused by a lick from one of the strikers, he said last night that it was caused by him running into a barb wire fence while running from the strikers. He told the llockville officers that the wound, which was fresli at the time of the arrest, was inflicted by a rock thrown. This the Rockville officer knew to be untrue from the fact that the wound could not have been inflicted by a rock. Neither could it have been made by a barbed wire. It is the opinion of the officers that the wound, which is merely the scraping of cuticle from the flesh below the left eye, was done by the switch flag grazing his face or from a fall down the dark embankment after throwing the switch. Hollowav's statements regarding the time he left the scene of the wreck is known to be untrue and his story of.his movements on the trip from Fontanet to Rockville is simply impossible. Also his statement denying having talked to any person regarding the wreck before seeing the morning paper is thoroughly disproved. When near Judson he met a man named Isaac Davis to whom he gave a detailed account of the wreck. At this time it would have been impossible for him to see the wreck^ or to have heard of it in any way—it being earlier than 0 o'clock. It is pretty certain that Holloway, instead of the newspaper, carried the news of the disaster to Judson.
Marshal Dyson, of Rockville, with his deputy, who arrested Holloway, were in the city last night and were present at the investigation. Their story in substance is that they noticed the suspect in town early in the morning and as he was acting suspiciouslv concluded he might be one section o*i the much-wanted Wm. Bradd. They watched him and saw him approach Coroner Boyd, of Rockville, who was reading the morning Express. When Holloway had walked away from Boyd the officer approached Boyd and from
