STATE SEWS AND GOSSIP. The Adams County Lynchers Again Outwitted by Sheriff Mott riff. Rk'liardsTakentobecatnr. and then Brought Safely Back to Port Wayne—Notes amt Gteattings. INDIANA. The Would-Be Ly-ncliers of Adams County Again Knitted. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Ft. Wayne, April 30.— Frederick Richards escaped a 100 b at Decatur again to dny, and now breathes freely behind the bars of the jail at Ft. Wayne. His escape was accomplished by a ruse. Sheriff MeOriff, of Adams county, insisted upon taking him and Smith down to Decatur. early this morning, against the warnings of the sheriff at Ft. Wayne, the chief of police, and others. The party were met by a crowd at the Decatur depot. There were no loud demonstrations at first, and the prisoner was conveyed half a mile, to the sheriff's office in the county court house. The streets were soon filled with men, among whom were recognized men from Celina and Wiltshire, 0., under the leadership of a man from Celina. They said little, but their purpose was well understood. Front the sheriff's office the prisoners were taken to the office of attorney Heller for consultation, and were afterward returned to the sheriff's office. It had been popularly supposed that by the time the consultation of attorneys was over the prisoners were to be moved from tho sheriff's office to Klover's Hall, where tho preliminary examination was to take place. By this time the defense well understood that unless the prisoner, Richards, was got out of town he would be lynched. The sheriff's offieo is in the rear of the court-house, and Smith, the youth, against whom no particular desire for vengea"nce is manifested, was started for the front door, between guards. Meantime soveral persons cried, “Let us go to the hall or wo can't get our seats.” The crowd went out the front door, and Richards was first taken in that direction aud afterwards brought to the rear door of the court-house and placed in a waiting omnibus, which whirled him to the depot. Meantime a locomotive of the Grand Rapids & Indiana railway had been detached from a south-bound freight. Richards, his counsel and guards, hoarded the locomotive, and it backed swiftly northward to Hoaglaud, nine milesfrom Ft. Wayne, where an express train brought.them to Ft. Wayne at 2:45 p. M. It is said that the mob, cheated of their victim, may be expected in this city to-night, which is improbable. Tho prisoners pleaded not guilty, and Smith was taken to the Bluffton jail for safe keeping. It is hoped a confession may be extorted from him. The Adams Circuit Court convenes two weeks from next Monday, when Richards will have another inning. Locomotive Firemen, Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

FAILURE OF JAMES R. KEENE. One of New York’s Greatest Speculators Compelled to Stop Payment. New York, April3o.—The announcementat3 o'clock tliis afternoon, of the failure of James R. Keene, the well known Wall street operator, was receivod by many with incredulity-. It created, at first, tremendous excitement among the smaller dealers and operators, who had apparently not anticipated such a result. The effect on the market was not appreciable this afternoon, as tho announcement came so late that very little accurate information could be gained in regard to the failure, although rumors of the most contradictory character were circulated in large numbers. It was learned, however, that Keene has for some time past confined his stock operations to transactions in privileges and selling “puts” aud ‘'calls. ” A large number of these contracts fell due to-day, and it was said Keene began this morning paying them off. After spending SSO, - 000 iu cashing differences resulting from tho falling market, he found himself running short, and, having no more money at his commaud, he was forced to refuse stock tendered him. This news spread, and soon his office was besieged with customers and creditors, who fought with each other to gain entrance. His secretary, Mr. Wells, confirmed the report of his failure to meet his engagements, and said it was owing to unfavorable speculation. He said Mr. Keene could not make a statement to the public at present, but would furnish a statement at an early date to those who are interested ill his affairs. His transactions have been principally in the stocks of the Erie, Western Union and Pacific companies. He was severely bitten in the recent shrinkage in values in Northern Pacific and Oregon & Transcontinental stocks. He refused to see any reporters at his office to day, and at his house this evening it was said he had gone out of town and was probably in Newport Later in the evening, however, the following statement was issued for publication: After paying out $1,000,000 in cash in the last few months in my efforts to protect my privileges on a falling market, I have filially determined, to-day, to call a halt, in the interest of those with whom I have done business. James R. Keene. Shortly after the announcement of his inability to meet his engagements, Mr Keene was offered by a number of friends and business associates the use of $400,000 cash. He refused to accept it, saying he did not propose to make matters any- worse by keeping up his margins any longer. The failure was the absorbing topic of conversation among the bankers and brokers, who assembled at the Windsor Hotel, aud various comments were made by those who had been friends or opponents of the great operator.

Fort Keogh Letter iu Globe-Democrat. On the Rosebud river, twenty-nine miles from Fort Keogh, are encamped a band of Cheyenne Indians who are peaceably engaged in agriculture. Black Wolf, head, chief of the Cheyennes, a peaceably-disposed, fair-minded Indian, rode up to Zook & Anderson’s ranch last Thursday on his caynse pony, and was greeted by the three or four cowboys present with the customary western salutation of welcome, ‘‘How." Tho savage alighted, lariated his pony and was invited to partake of tho mid-day meal then about to begin. He accepted, and after dinner was concluded went off a little distance, sat down on a log and quietly com* menced smoking. While engaged in this occupation, with his back to tho white men, one of the latter, a hard case cowboy by the name of Talford. iu a spirit of deviltry wagered with one of liia companions that he could put a hole through the Indian’s hat with his six-shooter and not touch the hitter’s head. The bet was promptly accepted, when Talford, drawing his heavy Colt's revolver, took deliberate aim at the Indian’s bat and fired. Black Wolf stumbled off the log. but a moment later staggered to his feet with the blood streaming down his face from a deep gash cut along the crown of his skull, quickly sprang on las pony aud hurriedly made his escape through fear of being killed. The cowboys, swing him depart in the direction of the village, dashing at full speed on his cay use, anticipated trouble, so they quickly mounted their Domes aud rode off iu search of assistance. Help was secured and, when, a few hours later, the cowboys were re turning with increased numbers, they saw a baud of Cheyennes coming in the direction of the ranch and a race commence between the two parties to see which would reach the desired spot first, but when the white men came within range the Indians opened fire aud drove the former from the field. They then set fire to the ranch and outbuildings, burning them to the grouud.

after which they quietly returned to their camp on the Rosebud. Os course, the news spread like wildfire. The whole country was aroused, and every cowboy within a radius of one hundred miles hastened to the spot, ready mid anxious to exterminate the bloody Cheyennes without delay: hut the capture of the guiltv ones was effected, fortunately, without bloodshed, and in a very- short space of time every- warrior in the camp was made a prisoner. They are now confined in tho county jail at Miles City-, awaiting trial, while the rascal Talford is still at large, and is probably by this time far on his journey south into Wyoming. Renovating Feather Beds. Correspondence Country Gentleman. Take a pair ot “sleazy" cotton sheets and sew them together like a bag, leaving an opening of three-fourths of a yard at one end. Then rip open one end of the feather lied the length of threefourths of a yard. Now fasten together the opening in the bag and the opening iu the bed, and gently crowd half of the feathers into the bag. Then take out the basting thread and sew up the gap in the bag. Next put it into a wash tub of rather hot. soft water without soap, and pound lightly. Take out. drain, put through another hot water, drain again, and place the hag with feathers in it iu the open air and sun to dry. They must be stirred often, and it is best to do the work when there is prospect of fair weather, as the feathers might “sour" if too long in drying. Serve the remaining half of the feathers in the same way, and you will be surprised at the bulk, elasticity and beauty- of your bed, for it will lie like new. “Tlie Salem of Hawthorne" Criticised. Boston Journal. Julian Hawthorne's article upon “The Salem of Hawthorne,” in the May Century, is exciting much comment in Salem of an amusing character, The illustrations are many of them so wide of the mark as to be scarcely recognized, even by the oldest inhabitants. The Salem custom-house is made to appear in such an exceedingly- dilapidated and broken-down condition that even the bird ol’ freedom over the front entrance droops his head in sorrow over its decay, whereas in the original the eagle’s head stands as proudly erect as any of its kind in the land. Salem, though an ancient city, is still a neat one. and its customhouse is iu as good repair and as well kept as any of die federal buildings in the country-. It.

Brooklyn Eagle. “I was a fool not to follow my own judgment. I knew if we sent the boy- away from home he would go to perdition,” sobbed Mrs. Blimber, looking up from a letter, which she had been reading. “Why, what's tlie matter with the boy?” asked Mr. B. calmly.

A Good Investment.—One of our prominent business men said to us the other day: “In the spring my wife got all run down and could not eat anything. Passing your store I saw a pile of Flood’s Sarsaparilla in the window, and I got a bottle. After she had taken it a week she had a rousing appetite and did her everything. She took three bottles, and it was tho best three dollars 1 ever invested.” C. I. Hood & Cos. Lowell, Mass. C. E. KREGELG & WHITSETT, FUNERAL DIRECTORS AND EMBALMGRS, No. 77 Nortl\ Delaware Street.
