The Yeagley Case.
The evidence in the case of the State vs. Frunk Yeagley, for horse stealing, began Monday afternoon in the circuit court. The State proved that Yeagley took the horse and cutter and was captured in Lafayette with them in his possession. John McClamrocrf on the stand gave a shadow to the State's very strong case, however, by testifying that his family and the Yeagleys both used the horse when they saw fit. The defense rested without introducing
evidence,
holding that
Mr. McClatnrock's admission cleared Yeagley. The case was ably argued by Charley Bowers and Dumont Kennedy for the State and Vancleave & Davis for the defendant, going lo the jury shortly before noon. It was nearly dark before that august body returned, giving Yeagley one year in the prison north. It is safe to say that had Mr. Yeagley's fate been decided by a popular vote at a municipal election, he would have been guaranteed a steady job for long, long years to come.

BACK TO AFRICA.
Remarkable Scene at the Sailing of 200 Negro Emigrants.
THEY LEAVE SAVANNAH FOR LIBERIA.
They Depart on Their Long Journey Followed by the Cheers and SongB of Hundreds of Their Race—The
Colony Well Fixed.
SAVANNAH, Ga., March 20.—The steamship Ilorsa with 200 Liberia emigrants sailed from Savannah Tuesday afternoon. Five thousand negroes gathered on the wharf and cheered the vessel as it passed down the river. Over 400 trunks and boxes were taken as baggage. In the boxos are agricultural implements, firearms, ammunition, household utensils and supplies, clothing, etc.
Party Well Supplied.
The party is probably the best equipped that has ever left America for the dark continent. Since their arrival in Savannah they have spent probably §1,500 to §2,000 laying in stores. The majority of the negroes appear to be still quite well supplied with money. There is probably not a man in the party but who has sufficient to provide subsistence for some time after landing in Liberia. Supplied as they are, there is no danger of this party starving to death or otherwise suffering if there is any possibility of making a living at all in the land to which they are going.
A Remarkable Scene.
When the vessel's lines were cast off there was a cheer from the crowd on the wharves and the emigrants sang their parting song: "I'm Going Home to Africa's Shores." The refrain was taken up by those on shore and the singing kept up until the vessel passed the city, and the crowd following along the wharves shouting good-bys, while from the negroes gathered on the crowded deck of the steamship came back answering shouts, and the color-bearer of the party, a sturdy negro, violently waved a large American flag that will be displayed as the Horsa enters the harbor of Monrovia. The Horsa expects to reach Monrovia about April 1, and, after landing the emigrants, will endeavor to secure a return cargo.
The party is accompanied by E. B. Cottingham, secretary of the International Emigration society R. C. Truesdale and J. C. Lancliester and W. M. Simpson, agent of the charterers. The missionary cause is represented by four colored ministers, who go provided with funds to build a church in Monrovia.
Negroes Go to Mexico.
WASHINGTON,March 20.—The secretary of state is advised by the diplomatic representative of the United States in the City of Mexico that between 700 and 800 negro families have recently arrived from the United States at Ilahualila, Burago, Mexico, as colonists under a federal concession granted to W. 11. Ellis, an American citizen.
ROBBED A SAFE.
Burglars Secure ¥4,000 from a Post Office ill Alabamn. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., March 20.—At Camden, Ala., Sunday night, while Postmaster Caldwell was attending church, burglars entered the store in which the post office was located and robbed the safe in which the post office funds were kept, and which was used also as a depositor}' by a number of the citizens of the place. Four thousand dollars in cash belonging to the government, the postmaster and two citizens was stolen. Two suspicious characters who were seen about the town for several days are thought to have done the job.
WINDOW GLASS TRUST.
Combination to Regulate Prices and Wages of the Workmen. PITTSBURGH, Pa., March20.—The combination of the window glass interests of this country is now an assured fact. At a meeting of manufacturers in this city Tuesday the National Association of Window Glass Manufacturers was formed, which is designed to regulate the production, the price of the product and the wages of the workmen. The capital represented in the association is estimated at §25,000,000 and the aggregate yearly output at from 6,000,000 to 7,000,000 boxes.
Burned to Death.
Betiileiikm, Pa., March 20.—Mrs. Frank Gubich returned from a shopping tour Tuesday to find her 1-year-old babe lying dead, almost burned to a crisp, while another boy, aged 3 years, lay beside it writhing in agony from burns which will result in its death. «It is supposed that during the mother's absence the youngest child went too near the fire and its dress caught fire. It is probable that the other child attempted to extinguish the flames and so ignited his own clothing.
Shortage at the Carson Mint. CARSON, Nev., March 20.—Andrew Mason, government mint inspector, has been in Carson the IsSt week inspecting the United States mint. More than 580,000 has mj'steriously disappeared and five clean-ups in quick succession failed to reveal the cause of the Bhortage.

News Briefly Told from Viarous Towns in Indiana.
Woman with Boots and Weapons. BRAZIL, Tnd., March 20.—Trustee Modesitt, of Perry township, had an exciting experience with a man dressed in female attire. Mr. Modesitt came to this city and drew money to pay off the school teachers of this township. On his way home he met a woman carrying a satchel, %vho in low tones asked him if she could ride with him. Her actions aroused his suspicions and suddenly he spied a man's foot protruding ing beneath her dress. As a ruse he dropped his whip and asked the alleged woman to get out and get it for him. She complied, when he drove off at a breakneck speed. When he reached home he examined the woman's satchel and found two revolvers and a bowie knife.
Plot to Get Young Bridges' Money. TERRF. HAUTE, Ind., March 20.—The prosecution Tuesday concluded the introduction of testimony in the trial of Isaac Bridges for the murder of Mrs. Montgomery. Attorney Hamill in his outline of the defense said it would be proved not only did Mrs. Montgomery entrap young Bridges to get the money he had inherited, but that her husband was in the conspiracy. The husband was in the courtroom. Hamill said after the family had robbed the boy, and the woman, who made him believe she loved him, cast him off, he became insane and shot her.
Bogus Checks Are Accepted. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 20.—A man registering as F. Burton has been stopping at the English hotel for some time, and two days ago, when he was about to leave, he presented in payment of his bill a check for §20 signed by Nellie R. Baird. As the supposed signer of the check was known to the hotel people, it was accepted without suspicion, but later it was learned that Mrs. Baird's name had been forged. Other forged checks passed by Burton for sums ranging from §10 to S50 have been discovered. The number of his victims will aggregate nearly 100.
Death of William Herndon. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 20.—William Herndon, aged 78, a first cousin to William Herndon, of Springfield, 111., who was Lincoln's law partner before the war, died at his home in this city.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 20.—The prohibition state committee in session here passed a resolution indorsing the Nicholson temperance act and calling on the members of the party to assist enforcing it. It warned members of the party to "rest satisfied with no legislation short of total unconditional abolishing of traffic in intoxicating beverages in every form."

ANDERSON, Ind., March 20.—The directors of the Farmers' Insurance company have offered a reward of 8400 for the arrest and conviction of the person who fired Isaac Allen's barn. This is one of many recent incendiary fires, and the barn-burners are believed to be residents of Madison county.
