FOUND DEAD! Tg* O

Dr. J. W. Free, of Pierson Township, Found Dead In His Bed Yea-. terday Evening.

George W. Myers, a resident of Pierson township, came up from Hartford on the eleven o'clock train last night, to notify Coroner Laughead of the sudden and somewhat mysterious death of Dr. J. W. Free, who

resided

about four miles east

of Hartford. Free, who i» a distant relative of Myers, had been boarding with the latter until Saturday morning, his wife, from whom he is separated, together with his children, living* in Orange county. On the morning named Free notified his relative that he believed he would "bach" from that time GD, and Myers saw nothing of him after Saturday, until the discovery of hi* death was made. Yesterday morning a neighbor named Harris called at the doctor's residence, distant some forty rods from Myers' hense, but was unable to find him, the doors beicg" locked, ar.d the curtains down. MyfrS was working slJ day yesterday in a fieliJ opposite Free's house, and as the latter did not putin an appearance during the day, at six o'clock last night, in company with several companions, Myers visited the house. The doors were still locked, and no notice had been written on the slate in trout of the house. The men then broko a pane of glass out of the window, near which the bed sat. When the paper which covered the window was raised, Free was discovered in the bed in a sleeping posture, dead. The men did not enter the houre or further disturb the body, but awaited the arrival of the coroner. Myers says that Dr. Free was subject to congestive spells with his stomach, and it is the supposition that in one of these spells he died. He has a sister in this city, Mary Ann Akers, whs lives near the corner of Third and Poplar streets. She was notified of his death.

Coroner Laughead went down at 3:40 this morning to hold an

body.

A COLD BATH-

Bob Linn Takes a Divo for 83,000 and Gets It.

Bob Linn, well known in this city, has for some time been keeping a store at Hymera, Sullivan county. .Recently he disposed of the stock, and last Sunday he started for Hartford, to board the up E. & T. H. train for this city. He had with him in a valise about $3,000, in gold, silver, currency and checks. The valise rested in the bottom of the spring wagon in which the journey from Hymera to Hartford was made. In crossing Basseron creek a sudden jerk threw the valise out of the wagon into the water, which was about eight feet deep. Not feeling able to lose this sum of money, Bob immediately set to work to recover it. He first tried to wade in and get it, but in this he was unsuccessful. Then stripping himself he dived for it. Seven times he dived and was also unsuccessful. The eighth time however he brought the treasure up. By this time he was thoroughly chilled through, and he

WSB

taken in

and thawed out by some of the farmers living near by, who had observed his manoeuvers, and had reached him abont the time his successful dive was made. Robert believes in water in its place, but thinks he had enough on Sunday for one day.

THIEF 0AU&HT.

Ben. Williams, a Colored man, Arrested for tbe Tbelt at ltnpp's.

Sunday morning about five o'clock Lieutenant Vandever and Officers Cain and Conaghan arrested Ben. Williams, a colored man, on First street, for the theft at Rupp's meat shop, on Saturday night. Attention was first called to Williams by the very profuse manner in which he had been spending money. Another colored man, Pat Fitzpatrick, was arrested wifh him, but was discharged after it was discovered that he was not connected with the affair. The matter was taken before the grand jury yesterday, and that body returned an indictment against Williams for grand larceny. He has already served a two years' sentence south for stealing froo^ W. H. Scudder.

Physician's Protective Association.

The permanent organization of this society was effected last night, at the office of Dr. W. H. Roberts. The following officers wereelectcd:

President—Dr. M. H. Waters. Vice President—Dr. J. D. Mitchell. Secretary—Dr. H. D. Mann. Treasurer—Dr. W. P. Armstrong. Executive Committee—Drs. C. Gerstmever, W. P. Elder and G. W. Crapo.

The names of several physicians were added to the lilt, making a total membership of over thirty. The organization starts out with good prospects, and the moat perfect harmony.

A man was arrested at Paris within the past few days, with a number of pieces of jewelry on his person, among them a baby's gold sleeve pin with tbe name "Maud" engraved upon it. He went from this city to Paris, and it is thought perhaps some of the jeweiry can be identified. Full information can be gained at police headqurrters.

Woman Suffrage-

From Circular of I. W. S. Association.

The Indiana Woman's Suffrage Association sends New Year's greeting to all the friends in every part of our State, anc says, let us start. anew the camp-fires in all the ontposts and send the watchward all along the line, that we will work with renewed zeal to stir up the people—to educate them up to the standard of the suffrage amendmeltt to the Constitution. Agitate! agitate! Make the people know that we understand the justice of our claim and will defend it. Look after the men who are candidates for the Legislature that they are right on this question.

MARY F. THOMAS.

For two months past Mrs. Dr. Annie B. Campbell has been actively engaged in the lecture field in the interest of the State Woman's Christian Temperance Union. As one of these interests is tke acquiring of the right to vote as they pray, Mrs. Campbell has been doing much effective work in behalf of the woman suffrage amendment. She reports a surprisingly strong suffrage element in the localities she has visited. Mrs. C. will soon begin a series of meetings in the southwestern section of the State.

Mrs. Lillie Devereux Blake, of New York Mrs. Virginia L. Minor, of St. Louis, and Mrs. Clara Bewick Colby, of Nebraska, have been appointed by the chairman of tbe executive committee of the National Woman Suffrage Association as a special committee to do tbe work in Washington, preliminary to the annary convention, which promises to be mo»t interesting. An executive session will be held on the 17th inst. Pnblic sessions will follow on the 18th, 19th and 20th inst. Indiana will be represented by several of her most prominent workers. It is desirable that different parts of the Sute be represented, and local societies would do well to select their delegates at once. Accredited delegates from all societies in the name of woman suffrage are

received by the National Woman Snffrage Association.—[May,J^fight Sswell.

We see that the best results accomplished by the executive masculine ele ment in government, are that they require a standing army of foor millions and a half of men, and a thousand millions of dollaiB annually to maintain their governments, even on a peace footing and we, to-day, find ourselves confronted by great social problems, which men have as yet been unable to solve. Polygamy and kindred social evils owe their existence to, and derive their strength from, the unnatural position of women and the false idea of her inferiority and subservience, and they, will never be wiped out until woman's political equality is recognized, and we have a true republic. Your only plan thus far, and the best fruits of your unaided wisdom, have been to compromise with the great Bocial vices, attempt to regulate them through license, by. which the State is to endeavor to increase her revenues, aad then build penitentiaries, jails and pauper houses, in which to receivt their criminals and victims. Can it be that these are to be the best results of tbe Christian civilization of the nineteenth century? Or may it not be possible that there is some other element in human society which will, if recognized as a factor in government, bring about a better state of things? Is it not, at least, worth making tbe trial? Matters could not be much worse. When we realize that virtue, intelligence, patriotism, and a love of liberty, are the pillars which support our free institutions, will not the Government necessarily

loss, while one-

half of the people regard the other half with contempt and relegate them, at least so tar as political equality is concerned, to the sphere of idiots, criminals and children, thereby rendering them ignorant of and indifferent to the best interests of the Government, especially as to them, as mothers and teacherp, the education of the future citizen is largely intrusted. Can we reasonably be expected to teach our sons and pupils to honor a government which first dishorn rs us?—[Mrs. Z. G. Wallace.

The youngest of my thirty-six feet of boys, now a man with silver hair on his brow, spent last summer with his wife in Wyoming Territory. I asked him how the people there looked upon Woman's Suffrage. His answer, in brief, was: "As a fixed fact, beneficial to all the best interests of the community—'morally, spiritually, financially, and socially. I have heard no clamor xgainst it."—Francis D. Gage, in Woman's Journal.

Woman may vote as a stockholder upon a railroad from one end of the country to another. But if she sells her stock and buys a house with the money, she has no voice in the laying out of the road before her door, which her house is taxed to keep 8Hd pay for. And why? In the name of good sense, if a responsible human being may vote upon specific projects, may she not

vote

upon the industrial

regulation of the State?—[Geo. Wm. Curtis.

I think myself that in determining the policies which shall govern our schools, the most important single question which comes before legislative bodies in determining the policies which shall govern onr civil serve, which is so largely filled by women to-day: in determining the questions which concern the sale of intoxicating liquors, and all classes of questions where the sphere and the purity and morality of Auterican citizenship are concerned, we may well, before we come to a conclusion, count the vote and ascertain the judgment and obey the wish of the women ot America. Proud as I am of the history of this country, proud as I am of the history of the English race to which I belong, I do not think it has shown any absolute wisdom or inspiration in its capacity to provide for the government of States, which enables it to look with disdain on the proposition to avail itself of feminine purity, of feminine instinct, or of feminine wisdom in dealing with the great subject with which States have to deal.—[Senator Hoar in U. 8 Senate.

MEN AND DOGS.

ItoTT (he lutrlMffcut Celltra Wo in Search ot U*e Stray Ones of tbe Fold. Colorado Letter of Dio Lewis.

The best of these shepherd dogB are worth $200, or even more. One herder, whom we met at Cold Spring Ranch, showed us a very pretty one tbat he said he would not sell for $500. She had at that time four young puppies. The night we arrived we visited his camp and were greatly interested in the little mother and her nursing babies. Amid those wild, vast mountains, this little nest of motherly devotion and baby trust was very beautiful. While we were exclaiming, the assistant herder came to say that there were more than twenty sheep missing. Two male dogs, both larger than the little mother, were standing about, with their hands in their breeches, doing nothing. But the herder said neither Tom nor Dick would find them. Flora must go It was urged by the assistants that her foot was sore, she had been hard at work all day, was nearly worn out and must suckle her puppies. The boss insisted that she must go. The sun was setting. There was no time to lose, Flora was called and told to hunt for lost sheep, while her master pointed to a great forest, through the edge of which they had passed on their way up. She raised her head, but seemed very loth to leave her babies. The boss called sharply to her. She rose, looking tired and lowspirited, with head and taH down, and trotted off toward the forest. I said: "That is too bad." "Oh, she'll be right back. She's lightning on stray sheep."

The next morning I went over to learn whether Flora found the strays. While we were speaking the sheep were returning, driven by the little dog who did not raise her head or wag her tail even when spoken to, but crawled to her puppies and lay down by them, offering the little empty breasts. She had been out all night, and while her little babies were tugging away, fell asleep. I have never seen anything so touching. So far as I was concerned, "there was not a dry eye in the house."

How often that Scene comes back to me —the vast, gloomy forest, and that little creature, with the sore foot and her heart crying for her babies, limping and creeping about in the wild canyons all throngh the long, dark hours, finding and gathering in the lost sheep.

I wonder if any preacher of the gospel ever searched for lost sheep under circumstances so hard, and with such painful sacrifices? But, then, we must not expect too much of men. It is tbe dog that stands for fidelity and sacrifice. The best part of man is the dog that is in him.

MILWAUKEE, January 9.—E. H. Abbott, for himself and' the majority of the stockholders of the Milwankee Daily Sentinel, undertook to attend the annual meeting of the Sentinel Company to-day, and was forcibly expelled from the office. Mr. Abbott called a meeting on the sidewalk, and adjourned until January 30. The contest is between wealthy capitalists heie who claim to have bought a majority of the stock of the Sentinel, and the President, N. S. Murphy, and Secretary McCerde, of the company, who have present possession of the office. The affair creates great excitement in local circles.

A Girl's Taot and Courage. The Revolution of 1776 not only tried ben's souls, bat the women's also. Many anecdotes are still told which Illustrate the tact and courage of noble women, who sacrificed much to the colonies1 independence. One of these anecdotes, the scene ol which is laid in Flatbush, New York, shows the strong sympathy of a girl of sixteen for the

Eibiting

atriot's cause, and her courage in exit. King's County, Long Island, was for a long time during the war occupied by the British. Soldiers were quartered upon the inhabitants, to whom policy, therefore, dictated a wise reticence as to their sympathies. But one girl would not disguise her sentiments, though her mother often checked her boldness.

One day a line of artillery wagons was passing. The driver of the foremost wagon, anxious to avoid a mudhole, turned his horses npon the sidewalk, in front of her house. Of course kll the other drivers would follow his lead. The sixteen-year-old girl determined to prevent this desecration, rushed out of the house, and so frightened the team which followed that the horses overturned the wagon. There was a storm which required the presence of the mother to allay.

But an old German doctor, attached to one of the English regiments, saw the girl's attack, and laughed immoderately over it. "O, vat a heroine vas our leetle Femmetia!" he Said, laughingly, to a Hessian officer. "She attack dese big artillery rneq! She attack him wis a broomstick! She is one brave leetle ladvl"

Notwithstapding the presence of the British troops, the patriotic citizens of King's County loaned large sums of money for the advancement of the American cause. An agent went around secretly collecting tbe money, as his life would hate been taken if he had been caught.

One day the girl's mother was counting out a sum of gold to this agent. Looking up, she saw a British officer enter toe doorvard. "Femmetia, she said to her daughter*, "hurry out and meet that officer, and don't let him come in this room, as yoa value your life. Don't fail us now, chad."

The daughter obeyed. She met that officer, ana was so entertaining that he did not seek to enter the house until after the money had been gathered, and the agent hidden. It was the first and last time that her mother complimented her for entertaining a British officer.

Wearing the Beard,

The fashion of the apostles, now almost universally restored among men, says the Daily Advertiser, was regarded with deep detestation by ono of the merchant princes of Boston, whose name for three generations has been held in high honor. He had once made an appointment with a young artist, being himself confined to his house by infirmity of increasing years. When the artist appeared, his handsome face decorated then, as now, by a full beard, the gentleman gazed upon him with amazement for a moment, and then, forgetting his business and his infiumity, and with exceeding warmth of manner, ordered the young man out of his presence.

In 1850 a young man, who had contracted with a highly respectable Pine street (New Yors) merchant for twelvo months' service, was seized with a desire to let the hair grow on his upper lip. His employer treated it as a breach of contract, insisting that it would be a great damage to his trade for a clerk "to exhibit such a heathenish face."

This was the common feeling in banks, insurance companies, and like institutions. But it was especially fervent and intolerant in the church. One of the members of Rev. Dr. Bethuno's church, in Brooklyn, having met with an accident which interrupted his usual habit of shaving for two or three weeks, found so little discomfort from the growth of that time that he decided to give it further trial. When he appeared at church there was commotion among the good people, men and women. Several of them waited upon the doctor, after the service, to enlist him against this daring innovation. To their astonishment he had already gone over to the enemy, and quoted Scripture and the church fathers in support of tho heresy. "But imagine," said one old lady, "a Chalmers or a Newton with such an unsightly growth!" The doctor gently answered, "When you come to example, my dear woman, imagine St. Paul or our Savior without it, if you can!"

Modjeska and Soott-Siddons. A pretty story of Modjeska has been told in Boston. It is as follows: When last Bhe played in Boston she was a guest at Hotel Vendomo, tho literary and artistic centre of Boston. Mrs. Scott-Siddons was also playing an engagement here, and was invited by Mmo. Modjeska to a lady's lunch given by the gifted artist. At the table Mrs. Siddons questioned Mme. Modjeska somowhat closely about hor methods of business in her two leading roles, emphasizing in particular her own manner of playing Juliet From this Mrs. Siddons proceeded to elaborate hor own elocutionary powers, and somewhat

Ee

ointedly asserted tho benefit it would to madame to take English lessons of her. The beautiful Modjeska listened to it all with that graceful deference of manner that so characterizes her, and after the little party was over and tho

fy

uests dispersed, she remarked to a laguest at tho hotel, who had also been one of her own guests at the private lunch: "Poor Mme. Siddons! her husband do treat her so bad, and use up all her money I hope if you can ever be of use to her you will. It would do me such pleasure to help her." In all the admiration Modjes&a has so well merited and received as an artist, there has been nothing, after all, so beautiful as this revelation of her sweet, generous womanhood—that perfect courtesy which forbade hor to put any but the best interpretation on the manner of hfr e0636- ...

A Bebuke From a Boston Waiter. Boston is tho center of so much intelligence and knowledge of the proprieties and exactnesses of speech that even the hotel waiters talk like so many Lindley Murrays, and appear as animated first fruits of the" science of orthoepy. An evidently foreign gentleman was at breakfast in one of our leading caravansaries tho other moraine, and seeing salmon on the bill of fare, ordered some. But he was unacquainted with the correct pronunciation of the word, and so in saying, "Please brins me some salmon," gave the "1" in the namo of the fish its full force. The waiter's countenanco was agitated by a spasm of pain, but he soon recovered himself enough to say: "/Sal-mon, sir? Sammon, sir sammon,sir! Yes, sir," and glided in a stately way to the kitchen, leaving the foreign gentleman staring blankly after him, and wondering at the amazing cheek of the Boston waiter.—Boston Journal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Yesterday afternoon, fire was discovered in the ware room on the first floor ol the great sugar house of Hon. Theodore A. Havemeyer, at First street and South, in the Third Brooklyn District. Mr. Havemeyer had been over the building, and had only just left, when a volume of smoke, making its way up through the building, gave unmistakable evidence of the presence of fire. There was in the building at the time the chief engineer and assistant, two superintendents, three watchmen, and two [other men. Before two minutes had elapsed these men had seized the hose in the building and turned on streams of water. Three fire alarms were sent out in rapid succession, and were lesponded to by fifteen fire engines, but the fiaines rushed through the entire building at a rapid rate, and soon all hope of saving the place vanished. The building, which was seven stories in height and covered a surface of two bundred by one hundred and fifty feet, becaine'one mass of Same, which lit up the whole neighborhood and river, and presented a grand sight to the people on the east side of New York city. The buildingjwas used as $e boiling or pan house of Havemeyer & Elder's sugar works.

When the walls began to fall, carrying down the immense copper pans, weighing fifteen and twenty tons each,crash after crash came in rapid succession, and shook tho ground like shocks of earthquake. On the opposite side of First street was the char house, also covering a block, and ten stories in height. The two buildings were connected by abridge on top and by tunnels underneath the street. The bridge fell with a tremendous noise, carrying down about fifty feet of the center of the tho front wall of fche house on fire. The flames flashed across the street fastened up on the window sashes of the char house The latter was, however, fire-proof, and only the woodon structure on top was seriously damaged. The boiling-house was burned to the ground, only a few sections of remnants of tho walls beidg left standing.

Mr. Havemeyer says the loss on the building and machinery is $1,500,000. There was but little stock in the place. The firm say the insurance will probably amount to sixty per cent, of the loss. It is distributed in small risks in companies all over the United States, but foreign insurance companies will sutler most, comparatively.

On the opposite side of the street is the refinery in which there is at present eight thousand barrels of refined sugars. Thi3 building, which also covers an entire block, was saved, principally by the New York fire boat, the Wm. F. Havemeyer, and a number of tugs working from the river. The loss on the char house, almost wholly by water, is about $25,000.

The only accident was to Wm. Hogan, foreman of engine No. 7, who received severe, but not fatal, injuries. The fire attracted immense crowds from Brooklyn and New York. It burned up to midnight. One thousand men will be thrown out of employment. Mr. Havemeyer says this is the first fire the firm has had in their twenty-five years in business. Anew and larger building will be erected with all possible dispatch.

ST.Lotna.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 8.—Fire broke out about 7 o'clock last evening in the rear of the third story of the wholesale hat and cap store of'F. Watkins & Co., 600 Washington avenue, and before the flames could be subdued the entire store and the entire store and the large picture-frame house and art gallery of Pettes & Leathe, 608, adjoining on the west, were burned out. Watkins & Co.'s stock was valued at $100,000 and the loss will fee total insured for $95,000. The stock of Pettes & Leathe was valued at about $80,000 insured for $80,000. The next building west, Nos. 610 and 612, was occupied by Thorb & Boland, books aud stationery, and Mack and Co., clothiers, but at present writing their loss cannot be stated. That of Thorb & Boland will be principally by water and smoke, and the destruction of the rear part of their store by a falliag wall, while that of Mack & Co., will probably be light, as no fire and very little water entered their house. The building, Nos. 606 and 608 was owned by Samuel H. Leathe, of the firm of Pettes & Leathe, and was probably worth $75,000 it is damaged one-third of its value insured tor $80,000. The building 610 and 612 was olso owned by Mr. Leathe damage not estimated insurance $25,000. The origin of the fire is not yet known.

These buildings are directly opposite

sortment in town of

422 Main Street,
