3Iysterious Traces of a Death Struggle. Discovered Near Monroe ville. Farmer Strain's Elopement Suicide at Elk hart Legal Difficulties of the Illinois State Normal University. INDIANA. Indications of a Foul Murder Having Been Committed Near 3Ionroevllle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne. Ind., Aug.l. Early yester day morning Mr. Kuan Parker, engineer at Pennsylvania" Company's pumping-house, at Monroeville, sixteen miles east of this city, went forth to put out the switch-light, located east of the pumping-room. Near tho switch he discovered a straw hat com pletely smeared with blood. A 44-caliber revolver was lying near by. The ground showed evidence of a terrible struggle, ana blood spots were traced for a distanced half a mile up the track, when they abruptly terminated at a point in the deep creek. which runfe on iim north siue oi iuo irac&.

County Commissioner Ed Peters, "who is one of the wealthiest farmers in, the county. has finally succumbed to the inlluence of the octopus, and has leased his baronial estate of 403 acres more or less to that sly and insinuating corporation, which is beyond qn?stion tho wealthiest that the world has ever seen. The terras upon which Mr. Peters has leased his farm are such that it is a question whether he or the octopus has the best of the bargain. The agents of the Standard Oil Company have been operating in the neighborhood of Summitville for some time past and have leased a great deal of land. They agree to pay him an annual rental of 200 for each well that thev put down on his farm, and they stipulate that they will put down no less than ten wells, and will sink a well every three months until ten wells are made. This will make an an nual income of $2,000 when tho wells aro all drilled. In addition to this, they agree to put a well down at once, and to have it completed at least bv tho 1st of November, and to pipe it to his house, do tho plumbing in and aronud the house, and at such other places aronnd the premises as ho may desire. Ihis is certainly the most liberal lease that has come under our observation, and unless there is some hook or crook in the lease we are constrained tobelieve that Mr. Peters has made a creat bargain with the octopus. Mr. Peters is also of the same II . 1 1 At 1 ll 1 H A. opinion, lie ininKS mat me tease win not damage him at all. as ho has no desire to sell his land. Nor docs he think that it will interfere in the least with his farming, as it is stipulated in the contract that no moro than one well is to be sunk on torty acres. As to the obiect of the Standard Oil Comoanv. Mr. Peters states that from what he could gather from tho agents, it was the intention to construct a great pipe line to Chicago in the near future, and that gas will be taken from the neighborhood of Summitville to supply this line. It is also the intention of the company to test tho held thoroughly for oil. Kloped with the Hired Man's Wife. Special to the Inrtianapolis Journal. Lebanon, Aug. 1.

He Is Perfectly Willing to Return to Mississippi and Face the Law His Friends' Dilemma. New York, Aug. 1. John L. Sullivan was taken, before Judge O'Brien, in Supreme Court chambers, this noon, andthraugh bis counsel, Delancj- Nicoll, admitted his identity as the person called for in the writ of extradition. He said he was willing to go South, and Judge O'Brien ordered that he bo turned over at once to Deputy Sheriff Childs.of Jackson, Miss. Counsel Nicoll informed the Jndge that before the arrest was made Sullivan had mado np his mind to go back voluntarily and surrender himself to tho authorities of the State of Mississippi, feeling confident he wculd be justly and fairly dealt with. He further said that when Sullivan entered into the compact of fighting Jake Kilrain, he understood that the battle-ground would be in the State of Louisiana, and it was not until the night before the tight that tho place of fighting was changed to Mississippi, and Sullivan did not really know until at the ring-side that he was in the State of Mississippi. He did not change the ground and he had no intention of breaking the law, but he had no alternative but to fight or become a poltroon. Sullivan ia now willing to go back in charge of Deputy Sheriff Childs as soon as that otBcer desires. Assistant District Attorney McDonnell then took a receipt from the deputy sheriff for the body of John L. Sullivan, who was then handed over to his custody by detective Adams. All the fight seemed to have gone out of Sullivan when he reached headquarters again after the surrender in court. Said he: "If I had known that there was a law against fighting in Mississippi, I would not have fought there. I would not have made myself liable to arrest. Well, I will go back and take my medicine." lie chewed the end of his cigar awhile, and continued: "Anyhow, 1 would have fought that fellow, Kilrain. I was goaded to it. The whole gang would have walked all over me if I had not licked him. I suppose I am a scapegoat now for doing it, and Kilrain will go free. Poor fellowl But the3T don't want him he's licked." Three-quarters of an hour after Sullivan's arrival at headquarters he was ready for his trip, and tho police board granted six days' leave of absence to Detective Sergeant Thomas Adams to go along with him to Richburg. Sullivan, after shaking hands with Inspector Byrnes, was transferred to the keeping of agent Childs, of Mississippi, who made out a receipt, as follows: Received from Inspector Thomas Byrnes the body of John L. Sullivan, surrendered under order of the Supreme Court. L. T. CniLDS, Agent. At 2 o'clock the party, accompanied by Mike Cleary and William Muldoon, started for the Vanderbilt Hotel, where they packed up Sullivan's clothes in preparation for the journey. Now that Sullivan is sure to go to Mississippi, quite a number of his friends and backers in this town aro growing worried over the situation of affairs. The fate of Sullivan may be their fate before many more moons, and they are wondering what the next move of Governor Lowry will be. They are at present an unhappy lot of 8portingmen. Now if, according to this law, it is possible to extradite Sullivan, it is equally easy to secure possession of the bodies of William Muldoon. Charlie Johnson, James Wakely and some responsible representative of tne Now York Illustrated News, the backers of Snllivan. If Governor Lowry asks Governor Hill to surrender these men to him, the sporting men have made up their minds that Governor Hill will comply with the request, Tho alternative for them is either to face the music or skip for parts unknown. They do not want to do either. Ono proposition broached this afternoon was: 'As it is dead sure that John has to go back, why not make up a party of the whole gang who went with hini from Belfast to the fighting grounds, and go back with the champion, surrender to the Mississippi authorities. and take tho legal dose administered to them by the courts of that Stater7 That will be standiug by Sullivan," said one of the crowd this afternoon, "and it will show him and the public we aro not the men to go back on him when in a hole " Sullivan left the Grand Central Depot at 7:35 on bis Southern journey, in comnanv with Muldoon, Pat Martin, his brother Mike and a man who called himself P. S. Trout. State Agent Childs and detective Adams made np the party. Itusiness Embarrassments. Boston, Aug. l.W. F.
