graphed to forward no more mail, as he already* had more letters than he could read in a-tnonth. On New Year’s day the Senator's box in the Senate postoffice was staffed full of these letters, and many more lay in a large basket immediately underneath. The effect of this flood of remonstrance has been to modify Mr. Evarts’s views of the subject of Mr. Beck’R brilliant argument, and ho will not, at least, deliver a speech iu a similar strain, as he originally intended. It is now considered doubtful if he takes the floor at all on this question. New Phase of the Silver Question. iVa*liinffton Special. Ex-Representative Horr’s contention that private persons are making a good income by coining silver dollars of the same kind and value of those coined ny the United States has attracted much attention among congressmen. It is generally accepted that such an enterprise is being conducted, and many members of Congress have been made somewhat uneasy over the publication of the fact. It forcibly brings to their mind that they aro taking something less tban eighty cents’ worth of silver for a dollar, and there will probably be a bill introduced to increase the bullion weight of the dollar. THE SUPREME COURT. Tin Case of Paymaster Hmith—Right of a State to Prevent Armed Assemblages. Washington, Jan. 4. —The Supreme Court to-day rendered its decision upon the .petition of Paymaster-general Smith, of the Navy Department, that a writ of prohibition issue restraining the Secretary of the Navy from further proceedings against him by court-martial for offenses alleged to have been committed in connection with the administration of his functions as chief a bureau of the Navy Department. The petition had been denied by the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and this judgment is affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States. The court also rendered the following decisions: Herman Presser, plaintiff in error, against the Stale of Illinois; in error to the Supreme Court of Illinois. The principle involved is tho right of the State to prevent the armed assemblage of its citizens, and their parading as military companies when not organized as such under the laws of the State or of the United States. The court affirm the judgment of the lower tribunal, holding that the State may prevent such assemblages. To deny this right, it says, would be to deny the right to disperse assemblages organized for sedition and treason, and the right io suppress mobs bent on riot. H. C. Brown against the Governor and State officers of Colorado; Appeal from the Circuit Court of tho United states for the district of Colorado. Brown gave to the Territory of Colorado ten acres of land in Denver upon which to erect capitol buildings. Tho Territory became a State before the erection was undertaken. The effort is now made to restrain the State from taking possession of this land, on the theory that it was conveyed to the Territory, and not to the State of Colorado, and that tho Territory did not comply with the terms of its conveyance. The Supreme Court holds that the title to all the property held by the Territory passed to the State. Tho judgment of the lower Gourt, to this effect, is affirmed, with costs. Opinion by Justice Harlan. The Port of Mobile against Henry Watson. The city of Mobile, in its corporate name, issued bonds to aid in the construction of a railroad, and made provision for a special annual tax to be applied to the bonds. Tho Legislature of Alabama, in 1879, passed au act to vacate and annul the charter of the city of Mobile, and on the same day passed another act to incorporate the Port of Mobile, comprising a specific part of the territory and all ths taxable property included in tho limits of the city. Watson obtained judgment against the port, but no property was mentioned upon which to levy. The authorities denied that they were the successors of the city and bounden for the city’s debts. The Supreme Court is of the opinion that the port is the legal successor of the city, and liable for its debts. William G. Ford, administrator of John G. Robinson, deceased appellant, V 9. the United Statos. Appeal from the Court of Claims. This was a suit brought to recover the value of some cotton seized during the Rebellion. The Senate referred the case to the Court of Claims, but that body dismissed it on the ground that it was barred by tho statue of limitations. The Supreme Court affirms the judgment of the Court of Claims. The court says: “The Court of Claims has jurisdiction to hear and determine a claim referred to it by either house of Congress, because, and only because, the law has so declared. But unless Congress otherwise prescribes, that reference will not in itself entitle the co client to a judgment if his ciaim is not well founded, or if. when so referred, it was barred by limitation.”

ARIZONA’S DEBT. Rookless and Extravagant Expenditures of the Territorial Legislature. Washington, Jan. 4. —ln response to a request from Senator Harrison, chairman of the Senate committee on Territories, Governor Zuiiek, of Arizona, has furnished a statement of he Territorial debt The statement shows that he Territory has outstanding warrants amounting to $120,948, upon which it pays interest at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum. In the tabulated statement of bonded and floating indebtedness appear the following items: Insane asylum bonds, $100,000: Gila river bridge, $15,000; Apache wagon-road, $12,000; Territorial university, $15,000. The indebtedness of the several counties of the Territory aggregates $1,101,625. In concluding his report, Governor Zulick says: “The enormous increase of the debt by bonds and appropriations may be properly characterized as usele%s and extravagant legislation—a wanton misappropriation of public funds to purposes from which the people receive no corresponding benefit The insane of the Territory are cared for at the asylum at Stockton, Cal., for $0 per week, which is much less than we could keep them for ourselves, had we the asvlum built. We require neither university nor 'nor mal school. The wagon-road and -bridge bonds are properly county, and not Territorial, charges. The appropriations for expenses for the last Territorial Assembly in excess of congressional appropriations for that purpose, are, in my judgment, in clear violation of the federal statute. M o have a debt, whon all the appropriations of toe last Assembly are provided for, of nearly $700,000, upon which the' Territory must pay an Annual interest of over sso,ooo— a result of the recklessness and extravagance of the legislative government.” BECK AND HIS SILVER SPEECH. He Will Adhere to His Position, bnt He Likes the Administration. tntorrk-w in the CincinuHti Inquirer. “How do the people of Kentucky 1 regard your position on the silver question!” asked the reporter. The able Senator looked over his eye-glasses with a dull thud, as it were, and quickly responded: “Nine-tenths of them say I’m right. There are only a few Louisville bankers who oppose me. Matt Johnson, of Lexington, who is the ablest financier in the South, told mo yesterday that my speech had converted him. He thinks *he President’s views upon that subject are all wrong.” “How does the matter look among your colid&irties at Washington?” “I have counted twenty five Democrats and twenty Republicans who would stand by me on a vote, and there will be new converts every day. Mr. Evarts is with us, and has said openly that my speech upon the question is unanswerable.” “And still you say you have no quarrel with the administration?'’ Mr. Beck looked benignantly into the eyes of the journalist and replied with the air of a man who was at peace both with his God and his President: “No, sir. I like Mr. Cleveland very much.” The sleeping-car porter groaned audibly, and jCocgreasman Morgan, of Mississippi, who was

siß’marfiMr at hand, .heaved a veproachfnl igh, white the wind howled mournfully through the Senator’s luxuriant whiskers. MINOR MATTERS. Tho Indorsement with Which Senator Beck Is Most Pleased. 1 Washington, Jan. 4.—During the holiday recess of Congress, since the delivery of hts speech in favor of silver coinage. Senator Beck has received more letters than any other member of the Senate. In fact, letters have come to him by the hundred daily, urging him to stand firm in support of tho silver dollar. While the bulk of these letters come from the West and South, not a few have been sent by the East. Among the tributes of commendation that reached Senator Beck by mail during the holidays wa3 one from the youngest daughter of Mr. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi It is a neat little letter, representing a silver moon looking down through a sheet of silver clouds upon a prosperous landscape. Below the picture is written: “Diana’s tribute to the champion of silver.” It is perhaps fair to say that ail the commendations he has received failed to please the Senator as much as this little picture. A Protest from Dakota. Washington, Jan. 4.—Hon. A. Brenton, a member of tho Democratic Territorial committee of Dakota, lias written a letter to Senator Harrison, chairman of the committee on Territories, “protesting against the action of the last Legislature of Dakota Territory, in appropriating the Territorial revenues assessed upon all the counties in that Territory for tho expense of a convention composed of delegates from only a portion of the counties, and against the action of n convention held at Sioux Falls, in the southeastern part of the Territory, and tho assumption of the power of a so-called State Legislature recently convened at Huron.” Charges Against Judge Coburn’s Successor. Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Washington, Jan. 4. —It is understood that protests of a vory formidable character have been filed with the Senate committee on judiciary against the jonfirmation of C. R. Pollard, of Delphi, Ind., nominated some time ago to succeed General Coburn, of Indiana, to be associate justice of the Supreme Court of Montana. The charges affect the standing of Mr. Pollard as a lawyer and citizen, and are believed to be sufficient to defeat his confirmation. Crook’s Suspension Under Consideration. Kansas City, Jan. 4.—The Times’s Washington correspondent states that the question of suspending General Crook, in tho department of Arizona, is under consideration by the War Department, and that General Miles is likely to be called to take charge of the campaign against the hostile Indians of that section. General and Personal. Washington, Jan. 4.—William R. Suite has been appointed postmaster at Wiles, a newlyestablished postoffice in Tipton county. Commissions have been issued for the following Indiana postmasters: Ely M. Ford, at Aldine; John O’Neal, at Oatsville; George G. Bean, at Advance; George W. Dodson, at Don Juan; Henry Sullivan, at Survant; Clarence E. Wilsou, at Titusville. The register and receiver of public lands at Pueblo, Colorado, reports to the General Land Office, that he recently had a hearing in twentyfour cases of illegal homestead entries, which had been investigated by special agents of the department None of the claimants appearing, tho entries wore canceled. Jacob Froiicb, of Little Rock, Ark., has been appointed chief of tho mineral division of the General Land Office. The number of commissions issued to fourthclass postmasters since tho 4t’n of March last is 1.1,425. It is said at the Treasury Department that the President will probably nominate an assistant treasurer for New York city to-morrow or the next day, with the view of having the new appointee, if he shall have been confirmed by the Senate, assume charge of the sub-treasury next Monday. The count of the moneys and securities, which began this morning, will be continued without interruption until completed, and it is hoped that the formal transfer of the office to Mr. Acton’s successor can be made during its progress. The Secretary of State has just received and sent to Mr. Ericsson, the distinguished inventor, the grand cross of the Order of Naval Merit, recently conferred on that gentleman bj* the late King of Spain. Two additional mail-carriers have been allowed at Evansville. Senator and Mrs. Harrison, and Mrs. McKee, iheir daughter, will go to Baltimore, on Wednesday, to attend tho marriage of Miss Davis, of West Viaginia, who was Mrs. McKee’s first bridesmaid when the latter was married. Washington Letter: Miss Cleveland’s particular friend, Miss Nelson, of Madison square, has arrived at the White House, and participated quietly in yesterday’s reception as one of tho group at the rear of the Blue Parlor. When here last spring she made a genial impression and also deepened the favorable impression already made by Miss Cleveland through many things she incidentally told of her earlier life. She is a gentlewoman with tastes strongly intellectual and humanitarian. Her manner is chastened, yet vivacious. Her dark hair is touched with gray, and her eyes seem “homos of silent prayer.”

Continuation of Disorder at Matamoras. St. Louis, Jan. 4. —The Matamoras, Mexico, correspondent or the Globe-Democrat telegraphs as follows: “A dispatch was received hero on Saturday from the City of Mexico, directing that the city ticket approved by the State Congress be seated. It was, therefore, proposed to turn over the mayoralty to Yturria to-day, but the friends of Torres rallied in force and swore he should not go in. There is much disorder here, the city being entirely without a city government. Last night roughs were rampant, and there w£re several shooting scrapes, unprotected women being fired upon, ami od9 or two men wounded. A party of fifty rancheros, under Gonzalez, were forced to disperse by the cavalry. The rancheros supported Yturria. On the day the city candidates were seated at Reynosa six men were creating a disturbance at Rodriguez’s store. Policeman Infante went to turn them out. When they resisted him ho fired, killing two and routing the rest. Thejuen killed were Solferina Maroado and Benito Lopez, both noted desperadoes, and part of the gang who murdered Bishop, the Hidalgo county merchant, some years ago, Lopez being the man who hacked him to pieces with a machete. Chicago’s Striking Box-Makers. Chicago, Jan. 4.—The strike at Maxwell Bros.’ box-factory is spreading. This morning twentyfive men who worked in the planing-mill refuged to go to work. They say they held no special meeting of tbeir owu, but their action was based on sympathy with the striking nailers. Thirtyfive non-union nailers went to work in the factory this morning. They were unmolested by the strikers. Contrary to expectation, the firm did not pay off the strikers on Saturday, but the men do not growl about it, “I have sold Athlophoros, and I find it receives more praise from those who purchase it than the usual run of patent medicines,” writes A. Meininger, a druggist of Cincinnati, 0., regarding the groat remedy for rheumatism and neuralgia. Ball-Player Barkley. Pittsburg, Jan. 4.— Samuel Barkley, a St Louis ball-player, signed with the Pittsburg team to-day, and will p\ay here the coming season. Barkley recently signed with the Baltimores, but, as his release had not been obtained from the St. Louis elub, the contract was void.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS Bartholomew County Greatly Excited Over the Brntal Murder of Cooper. Breach of Promise Sait at RichmondCharged with Robbias:an Express Com-pany-State Notes and Gleanings. INDIANA. Bartholomew County Still Excited Over the Cooper Murder—Address from the Sheriff. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Columbus, Jan. 4. —The Cooper murder, a brief account of which was published in the Journal of Sunday, is still the absorbing topic in this community. The coroner’s inquest still continues with closed doors, and there are a number of witnesses yet to be examined. Further developments show it to have been one of the most cold-blooded and brutal crimes ever committed. Thepost-mortem showed thatone ball, in the forehead, had penetrated the brain, and the skull had also been broken by some dull instrument, which wounds probably caused death, and the several pistol shots fired into the body after Cooper had fallen, possibly were after death. He was undoubtedly hauled to where he was found and everything about him arranged so as to indicate that ho was killed tliere, after a violent struggle. The toils are drawing closer around young Fix, who was arrested on Saturday, and the general belief is that he is guilty. The investigation shows that Cooper and Evan Fix worked together at Mrs. Rachel Fix’s, on Tuesday, and that Cooper ate supper there that evening. The Fix family swear that he started away after supper, saying that he was going to Newbern, a village some two mile east, but he was never again seen alive, and the body was found five miles in the opposite direction. The club that lay near the body was found to have been cut from an old reaper-tongue in the Fix barn-lot, the other pieces and the chips hewn from it having been found there, also an ax with nicks in it corresponding to the marks on the club. Blood was aiso found on Fix’s buegy. The inquiry has developed that Fix and Cooper were engaged in stealing clover-seed, and a considerable portion was found stored in the Fix residence. The theory is that they fell out concerning this, or Fix was afraid that Cooper would divulge the secret, and determined to put him out of the way; that he was killed at or near the Fix residence and taken to where found. There were a number of coon-hunters in the wood where the body was found, and the object appeared to be to convey the impression that he had been attacked while hunting. All that region where the murder accurred is intensely wrought up, and mutterings and threats of vengeance are heard on every hand. So serious is the situation that Sheriff Brown this evening published the following address, though it is hoped that no violence will be attempted: “To the Citizens of Clifty Township— Everything that can be done is being accomplistied by the officers of the law to ferret and bring to a just punishment the perpetrators of the foul murder that has been committed upon one of our citizens, and, as is believed, in your very midst. Anything bearing upon the case, which may tend to throw light upon it. should be furnished me in tho fullest detail. Thus the ends of justice will be subserved. But I especially desire to caution everyone against any unauthorized step in as any move to take upon itself tht; punishment of a crime by the public is itself a violation of the law, and renders the actors liable to the law. Better councils should prevail, and any suggestion of lynch law should by frowned upon, so that no blot should attach to the public at large. The officers of the law fully appreciate the terrible character of the crime, and will do their utmost to bring its details to light and its perpetrators to justice. Meantime the cooler judgment of the people should prevail. “James S. Brown, Sheriff.”

Breach of Promise Suit at Richmond. 6pecial to the Indianaeolis Journal. Richmond, Jan. 4.—Johnson & Freeman, attorneys for Lula Prickett, instituted a breach of promise suit against William A. Stidham this morning, claiming damages in the sum of $3,000. The contract of marriage, is alleged to have been entered into in January, 1882, when she was over eighteen and he over twentv-oue years old, and consequently capable of making the said contract; while the complainant also cites that he made a breach of said contract by marrying another, to her unknown, during the spring of 1884, in defiance of her repeated request to fulfill their contract, thereby causing her great mental and physical pain, distress, mortification, and greatly injuring her character and reputation, and otherwise damaging her to the amount for which she asks judgment. She also makes further affidavit that, in the summer of 1882, he again contracted to marry her on the 25th of December, 1883, since which time she has remained willing and ready to fulfill the contract. A Missing Girl. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. * Plainfield, Jan. 4.—Miss Sarah Holmes, a young lady well known here, mysteriously disappeared from her place of employment in Indianapolis several weeks ago. Her sister and broth-er-in-law, A. D. Loy and wife, who live near here, have made rigid search and inquiries for her, but can learn nothing of her whereabouts. DePauw University. The winter term of this popular and progressive, Indiana institution begins on Wednesday. The preparatory school had over 200 students last term, and the Asbury College of Liberal Arts, in its four departments—classical, philosophical, scientific and literature and art—was full to overflowing. The other schools or colleges—normal, music, law, theology, drawing and painting, etc. —have made a. fine beeinning. Board and lodgine are provi ded at the lowest rates. Mrs. Bell A. Mansfield takes Miss Michael’s place as preceptress of the ladies’ hall. Minor Notes. The new Odd fellows’Hall at North Madison will he dedicated on the 14th inst. New Albany is to be given the “Mikado” and cantata of “Esther” by local talent. William Becker, seventeen years old, was drowned at Kendailvillo while skating. Scarlet fever has appeared at Thorntown, and tho public schools have been closed until Jan. 11. Fifty-six persons have lately joined the M. E. Church at Mt. Zion, Switzerland county, on probation. The United States Court, Judge Woods presiding, convened in New Albany yesterday. The docket is light. Dr. Ham, a South Bend octogenarian, has been putting in the pieasant, winter days in his garden, working in hia shirt sleeves, burning brush. H. M. Lafollette, county superintendent of Boone county, and his sister Miss Clara, gave an olegant reception at their home in Thorntown, last Saturday evening. Colonel James Montgomery, of Evansville, is abont to erect a $40,000 building in that city, corner of S:xth and Main streets. The third story will be used by Masonie lodges. Mrs. Ann Parker Hendricks, widow of ex-Gov. William Hendricks, has gone from Madison to Kansas City, Mo., with her daughter, Mrs. E. P. Weyer, for permanent resident Her removal is necessitated because of the death of her son, the late Paul Hendricks, and her great age. The only member of the once numerous Hendricks

family left in Madison is William Parker Hendricks, who is at present the secretary of the Madison Gas-light Company. A saloon burned at Michigantown on Saturday night Fixtures and stock insured for SSOO in the dEtna. Two nights before the residence of Robert Lowden was burned. The drug store of Joseph Holstein, at Pleasantvllle, burned. The fire spread to the store building of W. P. O’Haver. The building was burned, bnt part of the goods were saved. The total loss is estimated at About $12,000, which was partially insured. The Madison Machine Company has closed a contract with Captain Bay, of Ironton, 0., for his new boat a pair of eneines, 12 inches in diameter and 4£ foot stroke, and two boilers 42 inches in diameter and 24 feet long with six flues, to be completed in sixty-five days from Dec. 23, 1885. The Perrin & Gaff Manufacturing Company have moved their box factory back from Cincinnati to the Prison South, where it was formerly located. This necessitates the employment of free laborers, and they have put on an extra force of fifty-three men and boys. In two weeks the entire force will be increased to about seven-ty-five. Miss Lou Kelley, a Pike county school teacher. has instituted suit against Clement Doan, editor of the Jasper Courier, for libel, claiming $5,000 damages for alleged defamation of her character, caused by the publication of a current report that she had killed a child in her schoolroom. Miss Kelley will also commence suit against numerous daily papers in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Illinois, which published the report. It proved to be false in fact, hence the libel suits. During the progress of the gold-brick trial, at Madison, on Saturday, a heated discussion arose on a point of law raised by one of the attorneys, and Capt. M. R. Sulzer was about to speak, when Magistrate Cravens peremptorily refused to hear him. Mr. Sulzer is the regularly-elected prosecutor of the circuit, but, being considerably the junior of most of the lawyers engaged in this case, he had modestly deferred to them, and only wished a few words on this occasion. Considering the magistrate’s action arbitrary and unjust towards him, Mr. Sulzer arose in court, announced bis withdrawal from the case, and indignantly left the room. ILLINOIS. Frank Roland Arrested on Charge of Robbing the Southern Express Company. Galesburg, Jan. 4. —Frank Roland wa3 arrested here late Saturday night, charged with robbing a safe of the Southern Express Company at Brinkley, Ark., of $2,900 in cash and some jewelry. The proof against him is said to be strong. He was tried here m November for breaking into a safe in Oneida, and was acquitted. The sheriff still being suspicious of him, kept watch and traced him to Wyanette and Neponset, in both of which places safe-blowing occurred about the time Roland was there. Nothing more was heard of him until Dec. 21, when he returned here and deposited a large sum of money in one of the ban its, cave the attorney who defended him in November $250 and a gold watch, lavished jewelry on a young woman of this city, to whom ho was soon to be married, and purchased a restaurant which he intended to convert into a cigar factory. The money and jewelry have been identified beyond doubt as those taken from Brinkley Dec. 18. About $2,000 in all has been recovered. He will be taken to Arkansas as soon as a requisition arrives. Charges Against a Police Captain. Special to the Indiaaapolis Journal. Bloomington, Jan. 4.—Capt A. H. Cook, in charge of the night police of the city, is under investigation with closed doors to-day. He is the subject of six serious charges, outlined as follows: First—Giving to gamblers poker chips taken from gamblprs by the police. Second—Using improper language regarding aldermen in reference to the latter’s official actions. Third—Attempting to coerce female prisoners to his desires. Fourth—Being in houses of prostitution unofficially. and while there taking liberties with frail inmates. Fifth—Returning to gamblers money deposited as security for fines. Sixth—Drinking intoxicating liquors while on duty. The outcome cannot be surmised. The charges are brought by several officers of the night force, and, it is claimed by them, will be sustained. The feud between the captain and his men is no new affair. In fact, the greatest discord has prevailed between them for months.

Creditors of the State of Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Mattoon, Jan. 4.—The act passeu by the Indiana Legislature last winter, appropriating money to pay for the actual services rendered by the Indiana miiitiaduring the war, is found to apply to a number of Mattoon soldiers. In July. 1803, when John Morgan crossed the Ohio river into Indiana, Governor Morton telegraphed an invitation to Mattoon for volunteers to join the Indiana Legion in pursuit of the invader. This invitation was accepted, and within twelve hours twenty-five men wore on the road to Indianapolis. They joined in the pursuit, and were on the march five days with the Indiana troops. Os the twenty-five men, only the names of seventeen can now be recalled. The pay to which each one is entitled, for six days’ service at sl3 a month, will not likely overcome any of them, but the fact that the service is being recognized by the State of Indiana is appreciated. Mias Mcßroom's Numerous Duties. Special to the Indianapolis Journal: Mattoon, Jan. 4.—One of the best agents on the Illinois Midland is stationed at Chesterville, and she is a handsome and plncky young lady, Miss Libbie Mcßroom by name. The depot is simply a box car. with the wheels removed, yet the interior is neat and cheerful, the floor being carpeted and the walls tastefully decorated with pictures. Miss Mcßroom is not only agent, baggaeemaster and telegraph operator, but she, in addition, run3 a lumber-yard—all of which shows what a woman can do when she tries. Brief Mention. The assassin of Wm. Massey, at Belleville, is yet unknown. It is thought Massey was killed by mistake for some other man. An export cracksman, Frank Roland, has been arrested at Galesburg, charged with robbing a safe of the Southern Express Company, at Brinkley, Ark., of $2,900 in cash and some jewelry. A Lawyer Indicted for Felony. San Francisco, Jan. 4.—George W. Tiler, leading counsel for Sarah Althea Hill in her famous case for divorce against the late ex-Sen-ator Sharon, was indicted to-day by the county grand jury for felony. The crime with which he is charged is being a party to a falso affidavit, in which a witness, Mrs. Clarke, is made to say that Sharon had secretly told her that Mis3 Hill was his wife. Two other persons, James F. Brown, and Mrs. Wirt, were also convicted of the same offense with which Tiler is charged, and are now serving a term in the State prison. Tiler was granted a week in which to file his bona. Three Men Drowned. Portland, Ore., Jan. 4. —A special from Cape Hancock says: "It is reported that, the fishing schooner Carrie Lake is wrecked on Sand Beach, about twelve miles north of the entrance to the Columbia river. The crew of five men started ashore in a small boat, which was capsized on a sand-bar, and washed off into deep water. Capt. John Exor, Mato Jamison, and a Chinese cook were drowned. The other two succeeded in gettine back to the schooner, and were taken off by a life-saving crew. How Mrs. Knock's Skull Was Broken. Detroit, Jan. 4. —The developments in the Knoch murder case to-day are of a somewhat startling character. The skull of the mother, who was said by the county phpsician at the postmortem to have been killed by a blow on the head, was brought to the city to day and examined by a quartet of physicians. They declare that death resulted from pneumonia, and that thofraotures which County Physician Owen

found were produced by himself in removing the toD of the head to examine the brain. The two sons, Herman and Gustave, who were placed under arrest early yesterday morning, have accordingly been released. DAILY WKATHEK BULLETIN. Indications. War Department, ) Omn or th* Chirk Siomal.
