AMAZING TENACITY.

Remarkable Recovery

of a

Badly Wounded Man.

HIS PHYSICIANS ASTONISHED.

The Victim Now in Court Prosecuting the Man That Shot Him—Murder Trial in Progress in Wayne County—Desperado

Fatally Shot Scourge of Diphtheria. •Other Indiana States News. RICHMOND, Ind.. Jan. 28. The

Wayne county circuit court is hearing the case of James Sipples, who shot •Joseph Revelee, inflicting what was pronounced by three physicians a fatal wound. The shooting occurred at Milton Feb. 26, 1895. The men had previously quarreled about a trivial affair. They met that day on the street, Revelee being in a wagon. As soon as he seen Sipples he yelled: "All light, Jim Til settle with you in Richmond."

Sipples, it is stated, replied: "Why not settle it right here Revelee jumped off his wagon and advanced toward Sipples, who jerked a revolver from his pocket and fired twice. One shot took effect, entering the left breast, grazing the point of the heart, passed entirely through the left lung and lodged in the back. The lung, after a few weeks, became solid below the point through which the bullet had passed, and the heart became pushed six inches to the right of its normal position.

The attending physicians were perplexed at the wonderful tenacity with which Revelee stuck to life, and for weeks the man lay upon his bed apparently unconscious to all surroundings, and unable to take any solid food of any sort. Now the injured lung has begun to clear, and after passing through the very jaws of death, there is every indication that he will live for years at least his wound will not be the cause of his death.

During all of this time, almost, a year, Sipples has been in the county jail awaiting a hearing of some sort. Owing to his victim's condition, the county prosecutor thought it wise to wait until the exact result of the wound was known.

The grand jury, at its last session, returned an indictment against Sipples, charging him with shooting with intent to commit murder, and upon this charge he is being tried this week.

Trying the Amish.

DECATUR, Ind., Jan. 28.—The cases against the Amish church members were begun in the circuit court here yesterday. Three cases were tried, two against Jacob Swartz for solemnizing the marriages of first .cousins and marrying without license, and the third against, David Swartz for unlawfully solemnizing marriages. They were tried before Judge Heller, who will not render a verdict for several days. The court experienced great trouble with the witnesses, as they refused to either be sworn or affirm, and said they would violate any laws contrary to those of Christ. Twelve other cases will be tried by jury.

Mysterious JH'ind.

ELKHART, Ind., Jan. 28.—A sensation has developed at Baintertown, a small village, five miles south of Goshen. Some workmen about the flouring mill found a large-sized satchel near the race, containing a white shirt, razor, clothes brush, etc., and naturalization papers of one Ross, whose birth is given for 1848. Letters were also found among the effects which were written last October, and addressed to him in Wisconsin. Persons have dragged the race and other efforts are being made to unravel the mystery.

Desperado Fatally Shot.

BRAZIL, Ind., Jan. 28.—James Dalgarn, the notorious forger, who has served time in prison south, and who was captured Saturday, after an exciting chase, is said to be fatally wounded. He attempted to escape from the sheriff's posse, when lie was shot through the back by James F. Davis, the Coal City merchant, on whom Dalgarn passed a forged note for $50 last Thursday. He was also shot through the arm.

Narrow Escape From Drowning. PEKU, Ind., Jan. 28.—While George

RESULT OF A FIRE.

Two Babies Dead and Their Mother Dying of Her Injuries.

PITTSBURG,

Jan. 28.—Two babies dead

and their mother dying is the result of afire at the -home of John Steele, a lamp chimney maker on the South Side, last night. The victims are:

Mary Steele, aged 5 years, burned to death. Nora Steele, aged 2 years, burned to death.

Mrs. Jennie Steele, aged 27, fatally injured by jumping from a second story window.

About 9 o'clock last night, while Mr. Steele was at work in Hagan, Evans & 'Company's glass factory, the mother took her four children Johnny, 7, years old, Mary, Nora, and a 7-months-old babe, upstairs to put fchem to bed. The older .ones were in bed and the baby was being washed when Nora, lying in her crib, playfully kicked over a stand on which stood a lamp. Johnny, who tells the story, says the lamp fell on the floor and exploded. His mother kicked it from the room down the stairs and within a few moments the stairway was in flames cutting off escape that way.

The frantic mother then picked up the baby and followed by the boy, ran to a second story front window, tied the baby in the blanket and let it down to the ground in safety. She then saved Johnny in the same manner and turned back to rescue the two little girls, but the rear portion of the dwelling was all in flames and she was compelled to abandon them. In jumping from the window to save herself she struck on her head, sustaining a fracture of the skull and internal' injuries from the effects of which she will die.

The father was summoned from his work and is crazed with grief. KNOCKED OUT IN TWO ROUNDS. Dan Creedon, middleweight, Defeats Jen*.

Smith, Heavyweight.

LONDON, Jan. 28.—Dan Creedon, middleweight, last night defeated Jem Smith, heavyweight, in two rounds. Creedon weighed 162 pounds and Smith 180. Creedon showed himself the more clever of the two, besides having a longer reach.

Creedon had the best of the first round, the company expressing its disapproval of Smith's tactics. The latter was blowing freely when time was called.

In the second round there were a number of smart exchanges and finally Creedon swung his right with great force on the mark. Smith fell like a log and failed to rise, the round only lasting 1 minute and 20 seconds.

No One to Blame.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 28.—After the submission of considerable expert testimony at the inquest into the cause of the deaths of Fireman Rhody and Stanton Kerely, a verdict was reached by the coroner's jury, finding that no one was to blame for the collapse of the Aloe building, which was partially destroyed by fire last week. The jury, however, recommended a stricter system of inspection for buildings in the business district and the vigorous enforcement of inspection laws.

No Desecration of Our Flag.

WASHINGTON,

Jan. 28.—Senator Hans-

brough has decided upon a modification of his bill to prevent the desecration of the national flag which is a change of phraseology more than of meaning. The bill as changed will make it "unlawful for any person or persons, corporation or company, to use the national flag or the coat of arms of the United States or any pattern, imitation, or representation thereof, upon or in co^"ecvion with any advertisement for .1:0 gain."

F., Jan. 28.—The destitution is increasing and the demands for labor are becoming more vehementThe streets are impassable from the recent snowstorms, thus affording work for a hundred men, yet no steps have been taken to clear them. Petitions are preparing for presentation to Governor Murray, urging the adoption of relief measures. Trains on one section of the railroad broke through the snow blockade after five days.

THE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION.

General Harrison Explains How It Was Made by tlie People.

Ex-President Harrison's paper in The Ladies' Home Journal of "This Country of Ours" series treats comprehensively of the constitution and its application and operation, defining the instrument, its scope and limitations clearly. "Theword 'constitution,' he writes, "as nsed among us implies a written instrument, but in England it is used to describe a governmental system or organization made up of charters —as the Magna Charta—the general acts of parliament and a body of long established legal usages or customs. These are not compiled in any single instrument as with us, but are to be sought in many places. "The common American usage in making a state constitution is to elect by a popular vote delegates to a convention, whose duty it is to prepare a plan of government. When the delegates have agreed and have properly certified the instrument, it is submitted to a direct vote of the people, and each voter oasts a ballot 'For the constitution' or 'Against the constitution. If a majority vote for the constitution, it then becomes thei paramount law of the state. The legislature does not make the constitution the constitution makes the fogfelatuftt.

I "The delegates to the convention--that"

framed the constitution of the United States were not, however, chosen by a popular vote in the states, but by the legislatures. Nor was the question ofT the adoption of the constitution submitted in the stales to a direct popular, vote. There have been 15 amend--.-, ments to the constitution adopted. Tenof these were proposed to the legislatnres of the states by the First congress and ratified. The other five amendments have in like manner been submitted by congress to the state legislatures for ratification, conventions in the states noiP having been used in any case. It will benoticed also that the vote upon tihf* adoption of the constitution and upon amendments thereto is by states, each* state, without regard to its population^ having one vote. But while these provisions make the popular control less direct than is usual in the states and necessarily recognize the states in the process of making and amending the constitution, the idea that constitutions prop eeed from the people is not lost.
