The Matchless Resources Which Would Make Possible a Wonderful Exposltlou. ’ Suggestions on the Subject by Coiiiiuisslouers Frey, Cuinbnok and Munn. Commissioner Philip W. Frey of Evansville has broad ideas as to the great centennial proposed as a colobra* tion of the 100th anniversary of the organization of Indiana territory. He says: “The importance of making the celebration of Indiana's centennial a broad and cObQprelieiisive one, cannot be over- j estimated. It might as well be re- ! solved by the commission at the outset, | and understood by the citizens of Indi- | ana, that to inaugurate this celebration on anything but a scale of grandeur, both in conception and execution,would at once write failure over the whole. “Indiana cannot afford in this clay and generation to call the attention of tho entire union, and of the world, to her position as a great state, in a small and narrow project. It should combine not only an epitome of its resourcefulness, but a strong picture of its history in the civil ams military glories of the past 100 years. And the whole should be a stirring incentive, to future achievements in economics and patriotism. “To my mind the commission should early ascertain what the sentiment of the people is in this direction, but if . they should find that sentiment to bo at variance with that general idea, the entire matter should be abandoned rather than that it should fall short of these ideals. As to what permanent shape this should take, it is yet too early to speculate. But it seems to me that whatever is done, it should be in some fitting way, so as to furnish for posterity ths perpetuation of these ideas. Upon these lines it seems to me that the whole state would unite, because of its i importance to the state and its citizens. ” INDIANA’S PROGRESS. “What do you think of the proposed centennial celebration for Indiana?” was asked Hon. Will Cumbackof Greensburg by a press.represokitative. “I am enthusiastically in favor of it." Mr. Cumbach replied. “I am a native of this state, and have been over the state many times—have been in every county, and am perhaps as familiar with the resources and progress of the state as any citizen of the state. Until recently but little was known of our state by the world outside. The progress she has made in every department of human affairs has never been published by our people as in other states. Indiana has never been boomed or advertised. I have been in about forty other states and I think Indiana has less waste land than any state I seen. We cannot only farm almost the entire state, but there is a larger portion of fertile and productive soil in Indiana than any of them in proportion to her territory. No effort has been made to let the world know what we have done, and are doing in agriculture, beyond the exhibit we have made at our state fair. “As a consequence hundreds of thousands of people have passed over this great central state, going to the west and the northwest seeking a home, not think ing it-worth while to even stop and see what we had in Indiana. They went farther and purchased poorer and dearer land. “We have now better railroad transportation than any of them. But a few counties hare one railroad and most of them several. Our excellent gravel roads enable the fanner to haul heavy loads of the product of his farm to a railway station to be shipped to the eastern cities or to the more convenient markets of Chicago, St. Louis, Louisville or Cincinnati. “We have all the improved machinery and tools for farming. We have the best breeds of horses, cattle,, sheep and hogs. There is no state that excels us in all things pertaining to agriculture. “We have the finest stone of any state in the west and are supplying the . world from our inexhaustable quarries. “We have coal in abundance and our natural gas field is the best yet found, and seems to be as strong as when first discovered. “The indications are that before 1900 comes, we will have also the largest oil supply* It is just being developed. “It would take too long to tell all the resources of this great central state. “We have the' very best possible eo’-00l sys.tem and the, school 1 ‘lnnd bit t&ryMtatO with Remaps one exception. Our colleges am£»’iniversities are second to none bi the nation. “Our writers and literary men and women have attracted the attention and won the praise of the cultivated people of the civilized world. We nave in Indiana every element of a highly civilized and progressive people. This proposed celebration will furnish the opportunity to bring forward and Exhibit to the world what we are and *what we have accomplished, If a full and complete showing is made, it will be of iiniucusA advantage to the state. It will dpuble our population in the next 10 years. The term- Hoosier will Save a different meaning to the world outside. lam glad to see that the people of the state are thoroughly in favor oj, the celebration and they want it '• done up in a style worthy the great “occasion. The commission" will no doubt formulate a plan that will do honor to the state.”

;—; : -7 MUST BE WORTHY THE STATE. Hon. Thomas J. Mann of Sullivan is one of the commissioners from the Second district. In expressing his views on the great project, he says: “In regard to the proposed Oentennial oelebra--1 tion of Indiana territory and state, I believe for various reasons that it should be held, and held in the form of an exposition, because in no other way that I can conceive can the past, present and future of Indiana’s erreatnaaa ba on clearly and fully mode known to the general public and her own citizens as well. “The first thing I would consider, however, in an undertaking of this kind would be the amount of money necessary to carry it through successfully, giving an exhibit worthy the state and creditable to her citizens. In no event would I recommend a reckless, extravagant outlay of money. Can it not be done without this, and without the state being worthily and creditably represented in such an exhibit then it were better to not attempt it. The safe, careful, prudent business man always considers well his investment before making it, whether or not it will redound to his own good and profit. So in this proposed celebration, would the citizens of the state be justified in making a -judicious, reasonable expenditure along this i.line? 1 for one uuhekitati ingly say yes; that a reasonable amount , in honest hands, judiciously expended, for various reasons, would bring to its citizens a rich reward. “As is well known in events of this kind that have gone before, Indiana has not been represented as she should have been, ojjin away either worthy or creditable to her. It is with no great amount of state pride that Indianians call to mind her exhibit at the world’s fair, and the same thing could be said of her at the International Exposition at New Orleans in 1885. Yet in the face I of this, what might be termed” “incomI plete exhibits,” we ( are told that she I carried away as many or more first 1 awards, at each place, as any state of I the Unfcqi. Os th s 1 believe her own citizens are not generally aware; neither is the general public aware of the capabilities or possibilities of our state. In " the proposed celebration there are two or three objects that should be kept in mind. T o ir-6 should be to show to the world as strongly as possible (it can not be overdone) what Indiana is. Second, to let her sister states and all nations see her as she was a century ago, as nearly as possible, and then her advancement and achievements through the intervening decades of the century in the world of human endeavor; or, in other words, the great feature of the event should be a retrospective view of the century just then ended —a glance backward showing the progress made by the state in ail branches of science, industry and art. The third and last object of course is to create within the breasts of her own. citizens a just and reasonable pride, bring her into closer and more friendly relations with her sister states, as well as to establish better relations with, the commercial countries of the -earth. For present purposes, what I would say plight all be classed under the first object set out — WHAT INDIANA IS. “The very first thing to bo remembered in this is, that within her .borders •the center of population of the United States rests, thereby making her eligible and available to more+people, to give such tin exhibit, than any other state of the union. Standing as she does in this great sisterhood, of states sixth in point of population and wealth, her own citizens know that in several particular advantages she takes still higher rank than this. Nowhere on earth do I believe they have a better or more productive soil than may be found here in Indiana, one capable of producing a greater number or variety of products of equal quantity and excellence. Another thing to be said in its favor is its great lasting qualities. Many of her great fertile fields that have been in cultivation and yielding their bounteous harvests for one-half, three-fourths, or almost the entire century, are today producing as much or more and better products than a half century ago, and that, too, in the face of but a comparatively small outlay in the way of fertilizers. ‘•This point I would have brought out as strongly as possible byway of exhibit of all her products in the shape of (gain, vegetables, fruits, etc. Following this would come her timber, her re. sources and possibilities in that line; her great coal fields, employing thousands of men, and sending the product throughout the country; her stone quarries, of which there are none richer or better, or of finer quality, being used in almost every city of tho east as well as in other directions; her great natural gas fields, furnishing light and fuel to her citizens, as well as inviting the manufacturer from every quarter of the globe; her great school system,of which there is none better; her manufactories and manufactured goods, embracing articles used in almost every quarter of the civilized earth. All these things, and many others too numerous to be called out here, that the occasion itself would develop as it took shape, that would represent some point of interest and value and as well be a credit to the state, should and would be called out and given prominence in an exposition of this kind. Saving so many natural advantages, as was said at the outset, and that she had not been truly and properly represented in expoin which she had taken part, I certaiiily think a celebration might ba made that would return to her citizens many fold. In doing all this, as said before, I would favor no reckless or lavish expenditure of money, but only ip safe, judicious investment, making a part, at-leaSt, Os her exposition permanent, by preserving everything possible of all that was best in every depart-* ment in some suitable building erected especially for that purpose—a state museum, as it were—and as the years went on adding thereto, as strides in the arts, sciences and industries are made. This would enable future generations to look back with some degree of comprehension upon the great advancement of Indiana territory.” Looks Like Pittsburg-. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 18.—The Dispatch to-day says that Robert ex-secretary National League Republican clubs, has received, a letter from General James- S. Clarkson, in which he instructs Mr. Lindsay to engage a number of rooms at leading Pittsburg hotels for the national convention week. The letter does not provide that if the convention is held in Pittsburg, but positively engages the rooms.

WOnsaM? Attorney Shoemaker Accused of Bribing a Witness. DISBARRED FROM PRACTICE. Qalt. a Sen.atlon la Created In the Fa* moua Holme. Murder Caae—Witneaa Brought Into Court and Corroborate* the Story—Attorney Rotatft Not Implicated. Philadelphia, Nov. 19.—The evil spirit that presides over the destinies of H. H. Holmes, king of murderers, and eventually destroys all who ally themselves with him, found another victim yesterday. The first swift turn this extraordinary case took was on the first day of the trial, when the archcriminal dismissed his lawyers, and the “Prisoner at the bar” became counsel for tho defense. Yesterday the tables were turned and senior counsel for the defense became a prisoner at the bar. ’ William A. Shoemaker, the young attorney whose first association with the case is obscured in tho mystery which envelops its every detail, was held under $1,500 bail to answer a charge of subornation of perjury. This means jthat he manufactured evidence tending to prove that Benjamin F. Pietzel, for whose murder Holmes was convicted two weeks ago, committed suicide, and that he, Shoemaker, paid a woman S2O to sign ami swear to this. But the commonwealth had supplied the woman, although Shoemaker was iguor- / k 11. IT. HOLMES. 1 ant of this, and after he had produced this “after-discovery-evidence” andread | -it to the court, he asked that the argil- . ment on the motion for a new trial be | postponed to give him and his associate I counsel, Samuel P. Rotan, time to run out this and other clews recently obi tai nod. Then it was that District Attorhey Graham arose and exposal the plot. The court stared in wide-eyed amazement the accused lawyer layback in his seat livid and tremulous, and the prisoner in the dock rested his cold blue eyes on the shrinking figure’of his legal : representative and smiled with scorn. Charges Against Shoemaker. Briefly told, the details of the charge are these: The trial for the Pitzel murder was not two days old when Shoemaker approached a private detective ’ named John Schwechler and asked him to procure a woman who lived around Twelfth or Thirteenth and Callownill or Vine streets, who would swear to certain facts, in connection with the finding of Pietzel’s body at 1316 Callowhill street. Schwechler assented, but instead of straightway going to the woman, he told his story to Detective Geyer, who, for the commonwealth, brought to light the evidences of Holmes’ murder of the children. Geyer submitted it to District Attorney Graham, and a most skilful trap was prepared, a trap which has brought about the ruin of the opposing attorney. Under instructions, Geyer went to Mrs. Margaret Reah, matron in the Fourth District Police Station,;, and she, under the name of Blanche A. Hannigan, was taken to Shoemaker by Schwechler. Meantime, Shoemaker ; had prepared an affidavit stating that the'deponent had known Pietzel and ' that to her he had expressed his inten-: tion of committing suicide. Mrs. Han- • nigaii read it; signed aiid swore to this and Shoemaker gave her two $lO bills for so doing. On each bill she marked the initials “B. A. H.” and yesterday she exhibited them in court, ' Lawyer Hoodwinked. Shoemaker walked into the trap blindI folded. When he read the affidavit to ‘ the court, he declared that its contents had been dictated to him by the woman. A moment afterward, irrefutable testimony was produced, showing that he had himself made up the affidavit and ( dictated it to a stenographer before he I had even asked Schwechler to procure a I wotiian to sign it; and that he had not so much as read or explained its purport . to Mrs. Hannigan. i Judge Arnold, who was upon the ! bench during the trial, had called in Judges Thayer and Wilson to hear and decide with him on the merits of the argument for a new trial. As the strange revelations came, the three judges did not hesitate by their bearing and words, to manifest their sense of tno gravity of tne accused. « Shoemaker had nothing to say. He was stunned and shocked beyond I measure, but said this was not the time for him to talk. / Must Have Met A strange story is whispered abont Shoemaker’s initial appearance in this case. A little over a year ago, it is said, he first came to Philadelphia. Whence he came no one seemed to know, but a tale is told' that he had been for some time in a little flown in Indiana. A-few days afterward, Holmes wps arrested in Boston and the story of his manifold crimes came put. It is said that the little . Indiana town 1n which Shoemaker lived was but a short distance fropi another town w fibre Holmes had lived and fostered his multifarious scheme. It is even said that in * Shoemaker's office has been found a map of the county in which these two towns lie, aud that a Uu» m &

i red ink between the places, but so I drawn as to avoid railroads and settlements, cutting through the bare country This curious story is not given out officially, but with those who know of it there is an unanimity as to its details. The Holmes case was the first Shoemaker tried in Philadelphia. It is probably the last. Shoemaker Arreated. At the conclusion of the argument, Judge Thayer soid they would give the case their gravest consideration. Then turning to Mr. Shoemaker, the judge said: “I regret that I now have a very disagreeable duty to perforin toward you, a member of this bar and an attorney of this court. In view of the developments and the testimony of the witnesses whom yon have heard concerfiing the use you attempted to make of the affidavit you procured, the court feel it to be their duty, no other path being left open, to hold you in $1,500 bail to answer the charge of (subornation of perjury, and in default of bail to stand committed.” “The bail is here, your honor,” said the accused attorney. I Court was then adjourned and bail was entered at sidebar, Milton Jackson, Shoemaker’s father-in-law, becoming bondsman. AID FOR AMERICANS. Admiral Selfridge Will Proceed Directly to Alexandretta. Washington, Nov. 19.—Admiral Selfridge cabled the navy department yesterday that he had put in with his flagship San Francisco at Naples to get his mail. He will proceed diiectly to Alexandretta, where he should arrive about Friday next, and will then be in a position to extend aid to the Americans and Europeans in that section in the event of further uprisings. The Turkish situation is absorbing the attention of the state department at present and due notice is taken of the various resolutions adopted by the many religious organizations in the United Stales. INHUMAN FATHER. Kansas Dentist Attempts to Assault His Da lighter. Fort Scott, Kan., Nov.. 19.—Yesterday afternoon Dr. A. (J. Correy, a prominent dentist of this city, attempted to outrage his stepdaughter Cora, a beautiful girl of 17, and in attempting to escape from the police fell from a second story window, alighting on his head, being/nstantly killed. Mrs. Correy was out of the city. Correy was 45 years old and had a large practice. The daughter is almost prostrated with excitement and- grief, but seemed relieved when she heard that her father had killed himself. Distill ries Gri».Pnt- Corn. Peoria, Ills., Nov. 19.—The Peoria distilleries are grinding 19,600 bushels Los corn a day, the greatest capacity at ' which they have run for some time. J. | B. Greenhut, formerly president of the I company, says that the capacity has been increased daily, and that it will be biit a few days until every distillery in Peoria is in operation at its full capacity.. This is a result’ of the recent settlement. .. The revenue collections for this month ' have averaged better than for the last few years and heavy shipments are made daily. , Embezzling Postmaster Caught. St. Louis, Nov. 19.—Postoffice Inspector Johnson has received word that John O Connor, who was postmaster at Marysville, Mo., in 1882, and who disappeared from there in September of that year, and was thought to have been murdered in Omaha, has been arrested at Monett, Mo., on the charge of embezzling government funds when he was postmaster 13 years ago. He will be taken to St. Joe for trial. He admits his identity. Investigating the Aflkir. Cincinnati,* Nov. 19.—The police began today the investigation of the case of John Townsend, colored, from Washington, Ind., who died in the hospital Sunday from a gunshot wound.

iHVELimiISJSTHH; Car Filled With Passengers Coes Through an Open Drawbridge. FIFTEEN PERSONS KILLED. Worat Accident In the Hletory of Cleveland—Work of Reeeue and Pathetic Scenee — A Crowd With a Common ' Grief—More Bodies Recovered—List of Killed. Cleveland, Nov. 18.—The peopld of this city stood appalled yesterday when they realized the full horror of the terrible accident which occurred Saturday evening on the Big Central viaduct. It was the worst accident that had ever happened in this city, and the story Cft how the motorcar, loaded with men, women and children, had plunged through the, open draw straight down 100 feet into the river, was told over and over again. Great crowds are still standing pn the bridge above the wrecked car and about the place where the wreckage is buried in the river, eagerly discussing every detail of the accident. The first reports of the disaster have been verified in every particular, with the possible exception of the number of victims, which is a trifle smaller than was at first supp >s ■I. The work of rescuing the bodies of the victims has gone steadily on since 9 o’clock Saturday evenipg and it is now believed that nothing more can be done until the List bit iif the wreckage of the car has been removed from the river. Work of Rescued The scenes about the river while the work of rescue was being prosecuted were pathet-ic in the extreme. As the bodies were passed from the fireboat to the willing hands on shore, an aisle was made and tae bodies passed along. Every few feet some woman would step out from the crowd, peer into the face of a body as it parsed, and “It’s not him, thank God,” she would say. Aud so the sad procession moved on. As the'body of a young boy was taken from tile fireboat an old lady nearly fell into the river in her anxiety to see the face of the dead boy. bhe would not be put back. She threw herself on the body, looked into the face, and cried: “Thank God.” Failing upon her knees, she raised her vpice to heaven and prayed as only a mother could under the circumstances. Pressing close around her were anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000-people. At another spot two men Wer ■ trying to jiold an almost distracted woman. She believed her husband' was on the illfated car and was almost insane with grief. Crowd With a Common Grief. All the time the search was going on cars kept running over the viaduct. Both rails from the east .to the west approach of the bridge"were blocked with people. In the center of the bridge men, women aud children went this and that way, screaming, jostling each other, women tearing their hair and calling upon God to save their dear ones. Women fainted and were trampled on by the mad, rashing and insujie crowd. It was a crowd with a common grief. Not one of the multitude but knew that perhaps a brother, mother, father or sister was at the moment lying cold in death at the bottom of the river. From the dizzy hight the thousands of people who occupied positions on the bridge itself watched the proceedings below. Their view was unobstructed and they saw everything that took place. The second a body was brought to the surface those on the bridge reported to those in the center of the bridge and then a rush to the rail was made by hundreds. More Bodies Recovered. The number of victims was increased to 15 yesterday by the discovery of two more bodies in the river. All of the dead have been identified, but four persons who were supposed to hatfe been on the illfated car as it made the awful plunge are still missing. One of the bodies found was that of little Gertie Hoffman, aged 4,Lj years, who was going home from the store where her father was employed, with her mother and brother. The other body found was that of Louis Huletz, a mailcarrier, aged 26 years. His head was split open from the fori head down to the chin and there is ho doubt that he was killed before the car settled into the water. One of the unide tified bodies was that of Miss Marie Mitcli<toh-a German domestic. She was 21 years of age. Another body identified was that of Mrs. Martha Palmer, a dressmaker. Augusta Sarinski’s body was picked out of the unidentified at the morgue by her employer. She was a German girl aged 19 and was the daughtet of a police official. She had b> nin this country oniy a few months. The list of-killed is as follows: James MCI ~vi oHi.in, baseball player. Henkv W. Mecklenburg, merchant tailor. Eiovaed Hi»femAx. conductor. John A.

Gut he had hardly started up his campaign he was charged with the oppositiotr^Bjfr's—first, with having set fir« to a Roman Catholic Orphan Asylum—second, with having been lynched out in Colorado —and third, having publicly stated that Governor Hoffman's father was hung —the result of which accusation was that on the following night a mob of his fellow citizens ‘came in the front door as he went out the back. At the next public address he gave, several exceedingly dirty children came upon the platform where he was speaking and called him Pa—and he declined to stand any longer as a candidate. We are happy to say that kind-hearted reporters are generally so fond of dogs, horses and other animals that [although they hava frightened hundreds of thousands of good people almost to death with stories of hydrophobia which had no foundation] yet they have very likely made fifty mistakes in-our favor for every one against us. Only the other day we were surprised to learn that in the state of Massachusetts alone there were now about twenty-three thousand Bands of Mercy, with a million or more members [what a milienium it would bejfor dumb annuals tn live in Massachusetts, if this statement could be proven true], but we do remember a lew cases in which -statements against us have appeared i|bout as n Wide from the mark—for instance, we’remember being charged iVith riding across the beach from Lynn to Nahant in a barge containing fourteen persons drawn by one horse, the fact being that we had only” been to Nahant once that year, and then went and returned by steamboat—and again with having been-Aen riJiug to a railroad depot in a herilie drawn by a lame horse, the tact being we lui.d not. to the best of our recol- . lectmii. been in a berdie for over a year and never rede in a heidie in-our life, to our knowledge, drawn by a lame In rs.e. As we have said before iu'.tljese columns, altnos'j every body believes everything they read in the newspapers, and the preponderance- of evidence is so greatly in our fa-. vor that we have the strongest reasons for gratitude and thanksgiving in this I'.hanksgiving month ot November.
