A HARROWING TALE.

A Wabash Sludniit’s Frantic Ffiorts to

Recapture a #20 Bill. ( rawfordsville Journal.

(’hurley Wedding hails from beer burdened Evansville and is a stu dent of Wabash college and past worshipful prelate of the Red I Dragon. Chraley has money (enough to burn a wet dog and then some to buy text books. He has, however, acquired the reprehensible habit of carrying coin in all his pockets, and this is what caused trouble yesterday. On Saturday morning he concluded he wanted a pair of pantaloons pressed, so he took the money out ot all the pockets but one, which he over looked, and then carried the <;ar ment to Frank Robinson's pressery with instructions not to press too high up the leg. Yesterday morning he got into a discussion as to how many pockets a fellow ought to have in his pants and this caused him to recollect that he had forgotten one pocket in the pants he had taken to be pressed. He didn't keep anything hut $‘20 | bills in those pants so be concluded that as the day was tine and Christmas coming he might as well stroll down the street and rescue that sawhuck. He met President Robinson of the pressery and told his trouble. Mr. Robinson went with j him to the shop and carefully j hacked the pantaloons out of their ! stall in the wardrobe. The $20 hi 1 was gone. Tom Ilennessy, a journeyman tailor, was also gone. It ; was found that Mr. ilennessy had | gone to Greencastle and both Mr. Robinson and Mr. Wedding pre sumed that he was chaperoning that $20 bill. Accordingly they got on hoard the covered ears and went to Greencastle, too. They found Mr. Ilennessy there in the Rig Four station. He was also in a state of aggravated mellowness, thus refuting the old theory that a man can’t be two places at the same time. He disgorged $15 of the twenty he had taken and was allowed to go. Charley has concluded to keep all his money in one 1 pocket herealter and to travel with

Washington, Dee. 10, 1895. Speaker Reed will probably not announce the House committees until just before the adjournment for the Christmas recess, which is expected to take place on Friday or Saturday of this week. There is still much oncer tainty as to the chairmen of such important committees as ways and means and appropriations, although the contest is believed to have narrowed down to Payne, of New York, and Dingley. of Maine, for the ttrst. and Cannon, of Illinois, and Henderson, of Iowa, for tiie last. The members of the Utah commission arrived n. Washington several days ago and will remain until they can get an opportunity to present a handsomely engrossed copy of the constitution, ratilied by the election held last month, to Mr. Cleveland with the request that his proclamati u formally declaring Utah a state be issued at an early day. Had Mr. Cleveland been in Washington where it is certainly his duty to be during ihe session of engress, if at no other time, the members of the commission might have saved on their hotel bills, but wi.ether Utah would have become a state any sooner is doubtful, as Mr. Cleveland will not issue the pr - clamation until he gels good and ready. It is not yet certain whether the republicans will reorganize tiie senate be fore tiie Christinas recess or wait until January, but the latter is regarded :■» most possible. The caucus comiiiittee lias completed the work of assigning tiie chairmen of committees and the re publican membership of the committee-,-and the job is probably as satisfactory as it could have been made, although lots of senators are not as well provided for as they wished to he. The reorganization is not now a matter jjf doubt. The populists senators after voting once for a slate of their own are going t" retire front the senate chamber. That will leave the republicans in the majority and reorganization will be quickly accomplished. So tn.ich has been printed since the selection of St. Louis as tiie eon vent ion city about a move lo pack the convention for a nomination that n synopsis of tne contract made between the republican national committee and t he committee representing the city of St. I ouis is hereby giyen as the best refutation of such stories: A hall with a seating capacity of 12,000 or more to be furnished properly decorated, but no pictures of or name of any living republican to be used in said decorations; rooms for the national committee and for convention committees; tiie engraving and printing of tickets, and suitable music, all to he free of cost to the national committee. Of the 12,0'H) tickets printed, one-third, less 1000 are to b ' turned over to St. Louis, 500 of this n tniber to he given the (J. A. II., and the other live hundred to distinguished guests, the distribution to he under the supervision of a sub-conimittee of the National Committee. And it is specially stipu’ated that none of the 3,001) tickets to he distributed by the St liouis Citizen’s C’ommitte shall be used in tiie interest of any candidate. It would seem that in that contract the National Committee had taken every poxsiblc precaution to avoid ground for any just charge of favoritism. The democratic party isn’t going to wait until the holding of its National Convention to split into gold anil silver factions. The split lias already come. Within a stone’s throw of the U. S. Capitol the headquarters of the silver faction, which is being led by Senator Harris, of'i’enn., has been established and a llag bearing the motto, “No quirtcr to gold democrats,” Hung to the breeze. One of the silver democrats speaking of the split said; “Thn democrats nave no possible chance of electing a president next year, but we are determined to settle for good and all whether it is to be a gold party or a silver party; whether Grover Cleveland is to make its platform, or a majority of the delegates elected to its National Convention. The light will be to’h death, and tne survivors can then proceed to build a new democratic party on what is left, which may get into fair righting condition for the campaign of 1900.’’ Senator Sherman proposes making a set speech at an early day to show how ridiculous that portion of the preUdent’s message which treats of finance really is. Speaking on the subject Senator Sherman said: “From Jan. I, 1880. when we resumed specie payments until Mr. Cleveland assumed the ottioe of (’resident there wa« no difiiculty in maintaining the gold reserve. During that period it never cost one dollar to get all the gold necessary for the re serve fund. Gold naturally came intithe treasury in exchange for U. S notes or other forms of money. At om period when I was secretary of the treasury. I bought sixty millions ot gold for sixty millions of silver e«rtitt* tales. No difficulty could have arisen at this time except for the fact that bv die Wilson-Gormau tariff hill duties were so reduced as to Ire insufficient to pay the current expenses of the govemment.

THE HEARNE CASEState I'llim; tip Kvt'leiir-* ,j. K. Stillwell Kxautitteu on Monilny The Hearnc case is exciting continued interest here and the St. Louis papers that publish daily reports of the testimony are in great demand. The Chronicle ol todat says ip. putt: Bowi.ino (ikekx. Mo., Dee. 16.—J. K. Stillwell, nephew ot the murdered man, was examined : Witness testified that he was present at the Monger enrtl party on the night of the mutder, and played cards at the (aide with the n ur tiered tmin and his wife; that Mrs. Stillwell was very morose and absent.* minded, so much so that he was fearful the company \ mild take offense. A. J. Stillwell and wife left the party about 12 o’clock, as did also Dr. Hearue. Upon arriving at the home of his uncle, after the murd-.-r. Dr. Hearnewas there. Hearue examined the wound anti ex elaimed : “Hil hi n a good one, didn’t he?’’ Witness said the bo y was watin when he arrived sit 2o’elot-k. Regarding tilt 1 position of the body and snr rounding-, w it es- told the same stort as U. II. Stillw ,11. An important fact testified to by the witness v. is that no blood was found in the depressiiin made tn the head of de-eea-etl, going ti show that he ha I been struck elsew here and |daet d there; that there was cousltlerahle blood on the It dster w here the head had u.ade an indentation an I running down toward the foot of tne bed. along the indenta‘ton made by the bony, a most unreasntiahle cot'Jil inu if Still - ell assn-nek while standing at the foot of the bed, as elaimed by his w ife. \\ itui-ss testified that matches were seattered prnmisennU'ly over the lower tloof and that they w-re the same eltaraeter of niatehes as the few left in tin* imitch safe in ih<- kitchen: everything was undisturbed, anil that tin te was no e\itleliee of ny windows or doors having been tampered with. Witness testified Dial quire a number of hiirut niatehes were found in the wood hie se, where the ax was; that in the search of the premises Dr. Hearue was th first to find money, which he picked up. saying: “This looks like mo ey.” There were four $5 lulls, moment or two Inter Hearnc found more money, a $5 hill. This was in tiie yard, and the poeketbook was found in the alley by Dr. Gleason and not far away Dr. Gleason also found the bloody ax. Witness said that Dr. Hearne was near-sighted and that the light l»v which a search was made was furnished only by a lantern. The bloody a v wa< handed to the witness by Mr. Heather In passing to the witness stand with the ax in his hand Heather passed between Hearne and his w ife. She turned her head away. On erosa-examinntion the witness testified that Mrs. Stillwell took the prize at progressive em-h’-e at th*- Monger party, regardless of the fact that she was morose. Just prior to Mrs. A. J. Stillwell leaving for Battle Creek, Mich., Dr. Hearne said to witness : ‘-One or two things about the in irder is certain—it was either done bv a burglar or Mrs. Si ill well knew- all about it; that it was the time for her friends to rally around her; that his name had been connected with it: that the only way to atop it. 'by G-d, was to do some shooting.’ ” While John E. S'ill well was testifying at 10:30 Mrs. Hearue htoke down and wept bitterly, giving way to the nervous strain. Dr. Hearne sat by and paid no attention to her. Attorney Ball wed to her and w hispered something in tier ear, and she overcame her emotions, comforted by her devoted sou. Harold. This is the first time sh ■ habroken down during the trial. There was nothing in Stillwell’s story at the time to particularly aflect her. After rc-ovoring from her emotion. Mrs. Hearne'- face was very much flushed. She w - presented with a fan by Attorney Motley, it being furnished by the Deputy ShoritV. The attempt to discredit the witness was ui-oicoos-ful. There was some variatii n in hi- statements but not material. .lolm K. Stillwell, while being e o s-pxttmined by Dryden, gave it as h - opinion the calm expression on the fac • of the dead man proved to his mind that hi< uncle w as not struck while confronting a burglar. “His eves were closed a« if in peaceful sleep,” said the witne-s.
