Notorious Crawford County White Cap Cases End in Acquittal of Defendants. Another Chapter of the Muncie Murder Mystery Gamblers Sue a Sheriff Wholesale Burglaries Verdict in a Murder Case. INDIANA Three Minute Sufficient for a Jury to Acquit the Crawford Connty "White Cap. Ejecial to tL Indianapolis Journal. Com'DOX, April 2. The Leavenworth White Cap trials resulted in the acquittal of all the defendants, the jury returning a Terdictof not guilty after being out but three minutes. The trial was a long and tedious one, lasting a' week, andthe expense to the county will be great. There were ISO witnesses, mostly poor people, and it vas a great hardship upon them to be compelled to remain in Leavenworth and pay hotel ' . bills during the time. They were not permitted to go home at any time because night sessions of court were held. There was some direct evidence agair.s the defendants, an d a great deal of strong circumstantial evidence against a few of them, but they proved alibis by their families, and. as there was a reasonable doubt as to their guilt, were acquitted. There is practically no sentiment in Crawford county against "White Cap methods, and it is not only impossible to get a jury to convict, but witnesses cannot be made to swear to what they know. -.'' The Monde Murder Myt tery. Muncie, April 2. The finding of the dead body on the railroad track and the disappearance of Henry T. Bateman under suspicious circumstances is still engrossing the attention of police authorities ;here. Litfle things are cropping out each day, showing that Batenian's explanation of certain details of his visit here are not founded . Dn truth. Gossip is given a fresh impetus " by another alleged letter from the supposed murderer. It is written on paper bearing the heading of the Grand Central Kuropean Hotel, of St. Louis, and dated March 23. It. reads: To the Chief of Police, Mnncie, Ind.: Dear BlrSince writing you from Terre Haute, Iflst evening, I discovered the loss of a receipt for money paid the receipt belli siraed by V. Doelfcer. was there such a paper found in the Socket of the man killed near your place Tuesayt if so, will you please forward tme to me In Denver! I was knocked to read in this evening's pa ier the mmpioiou that the man found dead had been frilled by me and placed on the raiiroad. In order that people would be led to think It was I. The lda is preposterous. If the " man found dead was the same man to whom I gave some clothlnz, and who went with me to the ccuDtrv, the shoes and hat which he had on would, tn themselves, have teen sufficient evidence that he was not II. F. Bateman. The idea is too preposterous and ridiculous to give serious thought. As to my previous relations with the government, that is a personal affair of lay own. Mr resignation was tendered and not refused. As to having overdrawn my pay accounts, . that statement is falf e. What the trouble Is in which I have "been for some time," I know not, as my business and family affairs are in the most pleasant condition. Newspapers and some people always scire on the slieatest thing to make, as the Indians say, big talk.' Yours very respectfully, II. F. BATEMAX. " The opinion is gaining ground with some of the citizens that Batesman is innocent of the crime, but they all admit he will have a hard time clearing his skirts of suspicion. The Times has otTered a reward of fclQO for the arrest of the murderers. Gamblers Kouted by a Sheriff. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Logansport, April 2. Sheriff James Stanley scored a victory, to-day, in the Circuit Court, over the gambling fraternity.

A LESSON IN ETIQUETTE. How the Duke of Edinburgh Was Taken Down by a British Admiral. 3IaiU Letter In the New York Times. The great harbor of Valetta is at present as gay as a naval review with British and foreign iron-clads, and tho town- itself is filled to overflowing with the crowds of visitors that have been drawn hither by the angust presence of that admirable priuco of whom an English workman once said (with a pithy distinction between the popularity or his boyhood and the countless scandals of of his riper years), 'God bless Prince Alfred, but tho devil rly away with tho Duke of Edinburgh." I never hear the Duke's name mentioned now without instantly recalling a story told me by an old messmate of mine about an incident that occurred during his Royal llighness's ocean cruise with the English squadron a9 captaiu of her Majesty's steamer (ialatea. While the squadron was lying off tho Australian coast the admiral "in command of it invited nil his captains to dine with him on board of the ring-ship, and at the appointed hour they were all assembled upon her quarter-deck in full uniform, except the captain of the Galatea i. e., the Duke of Edinburgh himself: While they were all looking toward tho vessel in the expectation of seeing a boat lowered, and wondering what could have happened to delay the Duke, a there boat was seen coining off from the land, in the stern e beet a of which sat the missing Duke himself, in plain clothes and with a cigar in his mouth. At this flagrant violation of etiquette the other captains exchanged significant glances; but, as if even this were not enough, it was soon apparent that he did not mean to make amends for the delav by going at once to his own vessel and nutting on his uniform, but was coming straight aboard the flagship lust as he stood plain clothes, cigar and all. Theu those who stood nearest to the admirul a sturdy seaman of the old schoolsaw his weather-beaten face harden all nt once like suddenly congealed metal, as he turned and gave orders to man the yards and to fire a royal salute, thus retalfatmg upon the free-and-easy Duko by receiving him with all the extra ceremony due to a member of the reigning family. That the rebuke had told was quickly evident, for even at that distance the witnesses of this strange scene could perceive that his Royal 1 Ugliness gave a start and moved uneasily in his place. But on ho came toward the flag-ship nevertheless, as if determined to brazen it out. He came hastily up the side nil the other captains dolling their cocked hats to him as he did so, in order to intensify the formality of this 'rovaf reception and etepping up to tho admiral, said with

an unsuccessful affectation of perfect ease: Well 1 suppose we can go to dinner now there's nothing to keep us waiting, is there!" The old admiral drewfliimsolf up like a tower, and bowing with au air of stern courtesy, answered coldly: "Pardon me, your Roval Highness, 1 am waiting for the captain of the tialatea." Despite his assumed coolness, the Duko colored up to his eyebrows, and gointr back into his boat without a word pulled oil at once to th Galatea,' from which ho speedily returned in full uniform, to exhibit a much more subdued demeanor, not only during the whole of that evening, but throughout the entire remainder of the cruise.

NAVAL TORPEDOES. Their Construction and How They Are Operated in the Water Method of Discharge. Ner York Commercial Advertiser. : Tho Patrick Torpedo, of which pattern Mr. Whitney, while Secretary of the Navy, contracted for three for uso in the navy, at a total amount of 655,000, is of the controllable or dirigiblo type, carrying about four hundred pounds of dynamite, and is guaranteed to run one statute mile at the rate of twenty knots an hour. The result of four trials last summer indicated an average speed over a measured mile of 20.2 statute miles, the best mile being made in two minutes fifty-three seconds,. ; or at the rate of 20.81 miles an hour. , The order for torpedoes, above referred to, is the outcome of a series of experiments made with this and various other torpedoes, in accordance with an act of Congress about three . years ago, which appropriated seventy-five thousand .dollars for manufacturing, purchasing and experimenting with torpedoes of domestic manufacture. The owners of torpedoes were required, in addition to plans, models and so on, to state exactly what they claimed their weapons could perform, as well as define the scope of their usefulness; that is, whether they would act efficiently under the general conditions prevailing at sea, or whether they were intended for use in smooth water, or iu special circumstances only. The qualities that should be possessed by a torpedo adapted to naval warare are accuracy, certainty of launching and starting on the course, certainty of explosive action on contact with the target, velocity, range, ability to break through or avoid hostile defensive obstructions, destructiveness, safety in handling, ability to keep in readiness for immediate action, facility of manipulation, simplicity noiselessness, ability to be operated with safety from an enemy's fire, and simplicity and efficiency of launching apparatus. Very considerable importance is attached to the last two qualities, for if there are no practical means by which the torpedo can bo efficiently, safely and conveniently launched in the more important directions desirable in active service, this fact would detract very greatly from its usefulness; and if it could not be held conveniently in tho launching position under the circumstances in which it is supposed to be used, or be readily pointed or ue sheltered properly from an enemy's great gun or machine fire, until the vessel that carries it should arrive within woiking range, it would fall far short of being an effective weapon. Other poiDts to be noted are whether the torpedoes require great accuracy in their manufacture to attain uniform results if great structural strength be necessary; what efiect the motion of the vessel has on facility of pointing; is the actuating material or apparatus reasonably safe and harmless both when loaded and when in store! Can the torpedo be made automatically innocuous at the end of its flightT It is of gTeat importance to obtain the velocity and energy of torpedoes at different points in their flight, and 'the striking energy at tho working range is of essential importance, as it is a measure of the ability of the torpedo to break through defense-nets and other obstructions. The direction of the torpedo's flight is another feature requiring careful observation, and in tho case of subaqueous torpedoes, both in smooth and in rough water, every effort must be made to ascertain whether they keep a constant depth of submersion, and to value such oscillations as may occur. Tho steadiness of flight must be carefully observed on all occasions. These are only the essential features to be taken into acconnt, and with the majority of which torpedoes must comply in order to be accepted. In tho number submitted no one excelled in all the individual conditions, but of its class the Patrick possesses very many qualities recommending its use both to military and naval purposes. It is the outcome of several years' experience with various similar weapons under different names, and embodies many marked improvements, doing away with most all the objectionable features that have from time to time developed in the earlier patterns, and prevented their being accepted by tho government. The torpedo is made of sheet copper, is fusiform in shape and is kept at a submersion of one metre by being made heavier than its displacement, and sustained by a fusiform float which is practically indestrnctible by machine gun fire during the short time It would be exposed. By being kept under water, the propeller ana rudder work in solid wator so that the former cannot easily be fouled or grappled: tho explosion also takes place under water. .In the application of the motive Sower as well as in - many other etails it differs from other previous models. The propeller is twobladed on a hollow shaft, though which the cable carrying the conductor is paid out. There are copper cylinder heaters containing dilute sulphuric acid, each having a cvlindricai trough in the top holding lime. This trough is divided longitudinally into two parts, kept closed by a series of hooks on a common rod, connected with a a piston in a cylinder outside the heater. A pipe leads from the steering engine to this cylinder, and by porting, tho helm, bofore starting the mam engines, gas is admitted to it, drawing back the rod, freeing the two parts of the trough, which are then forced apart by springs, and dumping the lime into tho sulphuric acid, which produces the desired heat. There are six double-acting cylinders grouped about the central shaft, which turns the propellers. These cylinders exhaust through the hollow shaft, and have mado as high as 1,100 revolutions. The rudder is balanced and placed forward of the propeller. The dynamite charge, which forms the explosive, is fired electrically at will or by contact. To perform the functions of start, 6top, starboard, port and fire, a two-wire cable is used in connection with an electric battery. The cable is about a mile and a half in length, about one-eighth of an inch in diameter, and runs from the torpedo to the controlling instrument on the shore or aboard the vessel. The speed and perfect control of this torpedo, the invulnerability of the shell and the protection afforded tho propeller and cable, combine to make it a rare weapon for harbor defense. Its advantages as compared with others of its type are good speed, great regularityof speetlmiriug tho entire run, and considerable mobility, it and its appurtenances being independent of an elaborate and special-fixed plant from which to receive its motive power. A Last Resort. Merchant Traveler, "Look out, young feller; what are yon about!" said the policeman in a certain Southern town to a young traveling man, who was tapping with his cane with the evident iuteutiou of smashing in the glass around a street lamp. 4Ah, there you are," said the traveling man, as tho glass gave way with a crash. "Now, if you will be good enough to arrest me. I will oe obliged to you." "You seem mighty anxious to get arrested," said the otticer. "Yes; I was a little bit afraid you wouldn't notice me. I've cot to star here about three days till I hear from my firm on a business matter." "Well, you don't want to spend that time m iau, doyoiij" Tes; I've tried both the hotels here." The cultivator of the smallest farm falls far below his nrivilecre if he does not have constantly at hand at least two or three of the best agricultural journals to be had. and read them thoroughly and systemat ically, lhey bring to him the thoughts and experiences of many others, their successes aud failures. He inav criticise and find fault with what they say, but even this exercise will develop his own thoughts, and lead his mind into new channels, and the result cannot but be useful. A few dollars expended nt papers aro sure to return manv fold their expense to the owner of even a email farm. From long and wide ob servation, we can confidently assure that it will pay.

Discussion. m i. m i . 4l - , . When Leo XIII Dies. London Figaro. It has long been the unwritten law of the pontifical court that when a Pope dies the cost of erecting a suitable monument over his remains shall be dofravetl in equal portions by those of the cardinals he created duriug his pontificate who may survive him. and Leo XIII decided long ago -that he shall be buried in that famous sacred edifice outside of Rome kuown as the Church of i$t. John Lateran. He hasven approved tho design for his sepnlchral monument which the official Vatican architect drew up at his order; so that the cardinals will not have any trouble in settling tho details. Meanwhile, his Holiness is himself spending money lavishly on the church in question, especially in connection with the erection of a superb monument over tho tomb which now contains the ashes of Pope Innocent III, that masterful pontiff who, besides placing France under an interdict when Philip Augustus dared to divorce his wife in spite of the Pope's caution, excommunicated our own Kiug John.

liberately raised his head as high as he could, dashed the egg down on the carpet, and "kikoed" franticallv with glee. The little animal would .always find out a scented handkerchief, foil it up into a tight ball, sit upright, hold the ball to his nose with his forepaws, and sniif at it with eyes closed in ecstacy. After enjoying it for sometime, he would turn round and rnb it gently up and down his tail. This tail was a funny piece of furniture, for it never moved to tho right or left when he turned round, but stuck stiflly in an arch behind. He was very fond ot lying inside the fender, and whenever we preceived a smell of burning we always knew it was only Kiko's tail raking out the lower bar as he turned.

Ban Francisco Chronicle. There was a terrible time the other night in one of our nicest boarding-houses, where a lot of society people live, it was late and a rich old gentleman, who has rooms there, rang the alarm-bell, so to speak. He rushed down stairs, hastily clad, and aroused the house with the intimation that there was a burglar there, and he had been robbed of his watch and purse. They rang all the alarms in tho district telegraph box from coal to messenger; they assembled outside, and watched the houso . all round, while 6oinebody was dispatched for a policeman. I have been robbed," said the old gentleman. "The burglar must be around here yet. 1 havff been robbed." "What did he take!" asked the policeman. "My watch and my purse." "How much was in the purse!" "Sixty dollars in gold." The policeman searched everywhere, but found no burglar. He quieted the excited boarders and they returned to slumber. Next morning tho talk was of the robbery, and tho old gentleman was talking about the purse with 60 in gold when his daughter appeared. "I told you-you'd get robbed, papa. It you didn't lock your door; and now-" "I am robbed7 "No. I stole into your room and took the things just to let you see how easily it could be done. Here's your watch and your purse. It only had S3.85 in silver, but it might have been more." The daughter didn't fully understand the titter her disclosure met with but that G0 in gold? Why She Was Interested. Terre ITaute Express.
