Lafayette Courier. No little excitement was created to-day when it became known that Wm. B. Ripley, the Apollo Bel videre of the Monon ticket office, Was invisible to the naked eye, as was sbtafe $439/75 oi the money contained in tbe oaehdrAwer of the safe when Mr. Lsaif BrtJcfeeiiB^flgh, the agent, last investi^tfeii it' la£e yesterday evenin*.

WM, was a profound surprise .to everyone. Ripley was known to be fast and what is tended a steady drinker of late, although but seldom seen underlie influence of liquor. -5Jf-be]otlg5d to the class of m^ers/df whbiii h^ was chief. His

Uddsome p^irsdn, elegant address 'and cool an^ ^y manners made liim more than ordinarily seductive. Six feet four inches high, of perfect form, large dreamy hazelJ fS^Cs,' 'a perfect nose and with a beautiful light brown mustache that swept in graceful curves on either side of his face like the shadow of a great sorrow, no wonder the ladies went wild over thij ." Adpnis, and ho wonder they troopedj^y ,i»pen door of the ticket officeafea^fiditas of the day aud away into tisii'flight & catch a sly glimpse of this perf^^rt^'ijf^phy^ical manhood perhaps to 'be, TjapJsd, i?r their worship by a smile that would melt- the heart of boarding-h6tf4if "fbtitter,, dr. pert -a base' burner to the felusb. No wonder this young ,ladies were gone- on -Jiim, and there are some who may not think it strange that- one or two of the fair sex who, having Vowed to love, honor and obey another man, should feel the ties that bound thdm to honor all too weak to resist this' modern Paris of America.

However that fray be, it is claimed that Ripley's tupping and his hasty flight was the result of being too free with the ladies, and that he had reason to fear the wrath of o&e whom he had wronged as only one man, can wrong another and deserve death. Yesterday Mr. Brockenbrough went home early, as bis wife was sick, and left Bipley in charge of the office. Last evening the latter called at the former's residence and informed him that the cash would not balance later Mr. Brockenbrough went to the office and checked up this cash, which eame out all right, Bipley having found some errors after his visit to Mr. B.'s residence. There was just $578.50 in the cash drawer. 37.75 of which was in silver. ^VTh»u agent told his assistant to take the money to the American Express Co.'s office and send it to the First National bank at Chicago, as was the custom according to the instructions of the company. Bipley said he would do so, but that he had an engagement with a young lady th4 early part of the evening, and would take it over when he returned from his calk This was the last time Mr. Brockenbrough saw him or the

reater portipn of the money. Officer who,saw him about midnight, said that he was evidently under the influence of liqaoi", but as he was able to carry a great deal with, comfort no one else noticed this circumstance, .bout 1 o'clockjgiplev went into the id accosted the night clerk, umpe, handing him the key of him to open it ose it for him

About this time Klum|te received a telephone message from soffle one, not Bipley, asking him to say nothing about what Bipley had said to him, or anything about the afiair. Whether or not Bipley took the train lor Chicago it is not kiiown, but he failed to return to the office^ and this morning Mr. Brockenbrough, when he opened thebaic, found that moet of its cash contents were (one the silyer was done up in packages, as though itlii^t been the original intention to take. ,Viat away also. He was neidier surprised' nor alarmed at the money being gone, thinking that his assistant had followed his instructions and ^Itaken it to the express office. Later in the day, however, his suspicions were aroused by this non-appearance of Bipley, he telephoned the express office to

and know if cash was on alarmed, Mr. Brockenbrough telegraphed General Ticket Agent Baldwin, at Chi cago, that Ripley had skipped by the Ifohi ot the' moon, with over four hundred dollars of the company's money, and requested him to notify the officers of the road. Another was sent to Bol Lister, conductor of I*""* Big Four train at the Sherman house, Chicago, asking him if Bipley went on through with h»m, or if he •ot off at any station. No reply being from Lister, another mesmm was sent to Baldwin, astting him to co to the Sherman house and get an interview with Listtt As yet no word whatever has come from Chicago, and everybody is in the /dark here. It transpires that in addition ttw company's money Uken from (fie safe Bipfey took with him $18 borrowed- from Mr. Brocken brough, and $2496 remittances of Conductors Francisco and D^wdwi, which will make a totaJ reported thus far of $478.70 with ohf precincts to hear trom.

the middle finger, the property of one of his inamorates. Ripley came here from Chicago, where he bad been employed in the office-ot the general auditor oi the road, aud succeeded H. Mitchell at the request of the general ticket agent. He gave .no bond, and if the company insist upon it, Mr. Brockenbrough will doubtless have to make good his assistant's defalcations, although he was all along dissatisfied with nim, and only last week1 told the traveling'auditor that Bipley must give a. bond for his good behavior. Before his employment in the Chicago office the defaulter was employed at Buffalo, N. Y., in the general offices of the Buffalo, New York & Philadelphia railroad. His parents reside at Terre Haute, and are among that city's most honored citizens. When he left here last night Eipley had on a dark gray suit, cut away coat and carried a dark brown fall overcoat on his arm. He wore'a brown Derby hat and a gray neckscarf. He is an inveterate cigarette smoker has a habit of placing his hand on the back of his thigh when talking— the result of rheumatism when he walks he had an affected and dudish way of carrying his wrists about six inches from his hips, with hands Inclined toward the body. It would be extremely1 difficult for him to diguise himself, and if he has absconded and has not been foully dealt with, which latter suggestion is not entertained by Mr. Brockenbrough or the police, it is more than probable we shall again see: Monon Adonis in Lafayette, but: shorn, perhaps, of much ox his pristine glory, and minus his nonchalent manners so fascinating to the ladies.

A telegram received late this afternoon from Conductor Listor states that Bipley went through on his train to Chicago. Lafayette Journal (Yesterday Morning).

He was a man of splendid appearance, tall, well formed and dashing. His manners were so pleasant that he soon surrounded himself by a large circle of friends. His handsome face and pleasant ways soon made him a conspicuous favorite of the ladies. To add to these attractions, he sang well and played'the piano some. He was sought out by society and was a general favorite. Several ladies became so infatuated with him that they haunted the ticket office, and were the cause of considerable talk among those who were outdone by his gallantry and grace. He fulfilled his duties faithfully, and was considered entirely trustworthy by the company with wUOm be was a general favorite. His accounts were al ways as straight as a die and no one dared to think that he was otherwise than what he appeared, a true gentleman. The gales Thursday, were unusually large, owing to the Michigan City excursion The money on hand at the close of the day amounted to nearly $500. Bipley, when he made his appropriation, kindly ignored about $40 in silver, reducing the amount secured by him to about $450. The company at the time was indebted to him to about $100. Deducting this from the gross amount the company is short about $850. Bipley seemed to have eluded the bevy oi officers on his trail and nothing more was heard concerning the matter until about 6 o'clock last night when Capt. Goodman received a telegram from the chief of police of Detroit enquiring: "Do you bold warrant for Ripley's arrest." The tenor of the dispatch was rather vague and the conclusion jumped at was that he had fallen into the clutch of the law. "Yes. Have you got him was immediately wired in answer to the inquiry. Anxiously the officers waited the reply. On it hung the possibilty of escape equally balanced by

The answer came:

arrest." .It brought its disappointment but led to hope. This was the last information the wires furnished in the matter. The action of Bipley is one of those ciiminal freaks impossible to explain. He drew"a salary of $50 a month, barely considered a living for the modern young man, dressed neatly but inexpensively and did not show outward signs of any corroding vice. He mingled in society unassumingly, was a general favorite, took an occasional drive and drank his beer. If he gambled no one ever knew it but himself and the dealer. While he drank, it was never to excess: never unfitted him for business. With women he was more immoderate. He charmed them by his manner and they, sought him. They came to the office waited for him on the street. The fact had been mentioned to him in a friendly way his attention was called to the fact that it was causing some unfavorable comment, and he promised to curtail these demonstrations as far as possible. They may have turned his head and moved him to the crime. No one knows probably never will. It is done and he is a fugitive. Ripley has been of late troubled with a peculiar nervous ailment which affected his sight, and_ so he sUted not long ago. to the writer, greatly depressed him. He was told by_ a physician that this was amorosio, a disease of the optic nerve that was apt to result in blindness —in fact did so in the great majority of cases. He brooded a good deal over the matter and remarked that if "he had to lose his sight he didn't care what become bf him. It is possible that this fear may have had something to do with the men tal condition necessary to the act with which he now stands charged. His father and mother are highly respected and reside at Terre Haute.' His act will almost crush them. For them pity too deep, too warm cannot be felt. With all these condemning facts weaving a network of crime about his character there was something indescribably attractive about the man. He drew people to him and made them friends by the force of his presence. At his old home, Terre Haute, he was a favorite. Four years he acted as orderly sergeant of the McKeen Cadets, and was the pet of the company and one of the best drilled men in the state. His aCt has blighted a promising life. While there may be facts that will tend to lessen the intensity of the guilt, that may show some pretext for its commission, some circumstance that might have been irresistible, yet the stern, cruel truth remains. Whatever his* motives, candor acknowledges his ppilt. A man tf his height, commanding appearance and soldierlys

With his departure, many hopes have fallen but other hopes havei fallen before. Lieutenant Rinard_ -left for Chicago at 3 o'clock, to assist in the gearch. ». [Mr. Geo. F. Bipley, father of the young man, left here Friday night for Lafayette. Yesterday he telegraphed as follows:

IN MRS. WALKUP'S FAVOR.

The Latest Testimony Taken by the Emporia Coroner's Jury. EMPORIA, Kan., August 29.—The Walkup case has become more of a mystery than ever. Mrs. Walkup was called before the coroner's jurjr.to-day. at the court bouse, where the inquest is being held. She was composed and easy in her' manner, though serious and careworn in her countenance. Her counsel, W. W. Scott, stated that whilei she was herself ready to testify, he took upon himself the responsibility of prohibiting her from testifying before the jury at this time. She then retired in company with a deputy sheriff.

D. S. Bell, who was Mr. Walkup'spart ner in the coal business, testified that on Friday, the 21, wKen Mr. Walkup was first spoken to aboout poison being the suspected cause of his sickness, he said that his wife had informed him, a week or ten days before, that Bhe had purchased strychnine to take the- stains out of her clothing.

Dr. J. W. Filkins testified that he had treated Mr. Walkup in the summer of 18S3 for sickness similar in its symptoms to his late fatal illness, and had been informed by Mr. Walkup that he was subject to such spells of sickness.

Information outside of the inquests so far, but reliable, is that Mr. Baldwin, a well-known farmer near Lawrence, stated to Sheriff Wilhite and Mr. L. S. Every, in Emporia, on the day of Mr. Walkup's iuneral, that in December, 1884, on Mr. Walkup's first visit to New Orleans, that gentleman, with Mr. Baldwin, the two Mr. Hatchs' nephew and son, of Des Moines, Io., and a Mr. Green, oi Jacksonville, 111., all went from St. Louis to New Orlean on the steamer Baton Rouge, and uring the passage Mr. Walkup became seriously ill just as he seemed in his recent atfal illnes in Emporia, and Dr. Neal, of' Nebraska,' who Was on the bort, prescribed for him saying to him that he could uot have many more such attacks without a fatal result. When Mr. Walkup became sick on that occasion he entrusted his money, $300 or $400, to Mr. Baldwin, and the latter said on the day of Walkup's funeral that it looks to him now as ii he might have been arrested for poisoning Mr. Walkup, had the latter died in the boat in December. Mr. Walkup had not then seen his wife or any member of the Wallace family, this being his first visit to New •Orleans. The following telegram was received in this city to-day,

NEW OntEANS, August 28.—Judge W. T. Houston, Emporia: In studying np the Walkup case I have discovered that sub-nitrate of bismuth contains arsenic unless carefully made.

Serious Charges Against the Federal Court Officials io Sitka, Alaska. WASHINGTON, D. C., August 29.— The action of the United States court at Sitka, Alaska, in granting a writ of habeas corpus for the delivery Of an Indian child to it parents against the wish of a Presbyterian institution which claimed to have control of the child, has been reported to Washington as a sufficient cause for removal of the judge and other officials. The managers of the institution charge that the child has been delivered to a life of prostitution that the court officials are drunkards and are guilty of worse crimes, and that the reform of the Indians has been rendered almost an impossibility. The Indians take sides with the court The mother of the child has dictated a letter to the Great Father, stating her case in poetical language. Her child, she says, is her heart, and she would not train her to walk barefooted. When she allowed her to enter the institution she did it because she wanted her to learn, how to make the books talk, and how to write her mother's words and make them talk again. The "Bostons" were too slow, however, and the father wanted his child back. She heard the words of the judge who gave back her heart, and they sounded in her ears like running water at night-time she could still hear them until she fell asleep. As to the charge that her husband had used violence in attempting to take the child from the insti tution,she said: "My husband was not there to see how I was treated. If he had been tears would have been shed by Others, for he is a man." The charges on hoth sides are of such a serious nature that a special investigation has been ordered.

Anew time table goes into effect this morning at 7 o'cleck. The limiteds, as previously .announced, will be discontinued. This is not because the trains were not paying. It will be remembered that when the trains were put on they were dubbed "teasers." The I. &. St. L. was forced to put on similar trains. It is understood the & St. L, will follow suit and discontinue its limiteds. Several changes have been made in the time of arrival and departure of trains. The following is the table:

Globe Democrat: The Vandalia'sopen rate for New York tickets yesterday was $18. The Bee Line quoted'the same rate, but the selling rate at- some of the other offices was $16, while scalpers could do. still better. When the July agreement was under discussion, certain Tines insisted upon a differential of $2, but it was not granted. Now these lines have a chance to take a differential of as ha any dollars as they like, and they should take advantage of the opportunity. If a ticket via the Vandalia was worth $2 more than via the Wabash on July 2, it should be worth the same to-day—hence the Wabash rate should be $15 against the Van dalia's $17.

TORNADO WARNINGS.

A Sis nal Service Man Who Savs that Tornadoes Can Be Predicted Honrs Before They Occur.

Naw YOKK, N. Y., August 29.—Lieu tenant P. Finley, of the signal service at Washington, arrived in town to-night on an inspection tour of the signal stations, under orders from the war department. He said this afternoon that the question of tornadoes was one of such vital importance that-congress would be called upon to pass appropriations for tornado signals to ^warn the people of their approach. "Two, years ago," he continued, "we knew nothing about predicting tornadoes, but since then we have been gathering data in an ibductive way, and are now able to absolutely predict their approach many hours before they occur. Eastern people have no idea what teiror exists in the west during the tornado season. People flee panic stricken sit the approach of a dark-look ing cloud. Now this cloud may be perfectly harmless. What we propose is to put out at 7 a. m. flags that indicate the approach or non-approach of a tornado that day. That would relieve the anxiety of the people and they could go about their day's labor.
