Xew and Interesting Point Brought Up by an Indictment for Murder. Cigarettes Alleged 3 the Canse of InsanityMurderous Cutting Pone bj a Boy of Fifteeu Rich Picking for Burglars. INDIANA. New Question In Criminal Law Developed by an Indictment for Murder. Epcl&l to the IndlanapoUs Journal. Maiuon, Nov. 20. The grand jury ot this county to-day, returned an indictment against John Sage for murder in the first degree for the killing of Harry Cunningham, a two-year-old boy, at Hartford City, nine years ago. The child, an illegitimate one, was a barrier to the marriage of its mother with Sage. The child disappeared, the marriage occurred, the dead body of the boy was found in a creek, the mother confessed, assumed the whole burden of the crime and went to the Female Reformatory for life. Two years ago Sage applied for a divorce, and then his wife exposed him. He was arrested and last March tried and sent to the penitentiary for life, but the Supreme Court found the indictment defective and granted a new trial. Sage's case will present a new question in Indiana criminal law. His first trial was held here on a change of venue. The defective indictment cannot be amended. The case cannot be sent back to Hartford City except on the prisoner's motion, and the question is whether an indictment returned in one county for a crime committed in another will stick. Crazy From Cigarettes. Richmond, Nov. 20. William C. Hawke, of Cincinnati, who created such a sensation in Ctficago, Saturday, by his large purchases of chewing gum and other queer actions, ending in an assault on Hittou, the clerk at the Palmer House, was originally from this city. This morning his mother said that Willie's trouble is attributable to two causes. He had a partner, who had disappointed him in many respects, and made business com plications which constantly worried his mind. He had also become a constant user of cigarettes, smoking them continually when not eating. In filing an inventory of his father's effects, young Hawke, as executor of the estate, failed to report 82,500 in government bonds, which his mother and sisters knew nothing of until about three weeks ago, when a Mr. Holt, of Cincinnati, informed Hon. John Yaryan, the attorney employed in the settlement of the estate, of their existence. Then Yaryan sent for young Hawke, who 6aid his father gave them to him. with the admonition to support his mother and divido them with his sisters at her death. When told of his liability to prosecution for omitting them in his sworn inventory of the estate, he became terribly excited, and saying ho had the bonds all safo and could arrange the matter with his sisters, Mrs. Chapman, of Indiauapolis, and Mrs. Foot, of Denver, took his departure for those cities. It was learned from his business associate in Cincinnati he was honest in his statement as to having the bonds secure. While at Indiauapolis he was in such a state that a physician pronounced his mind affected, and on reaching Denver he became insane, spending several hundred dollars in doing divers crazy things. Under treatment, however, he became again rational, and had come as fnras Chicago with his brother-in-law, T. J. k oote, en route to this city. Swindled by a Fraudulent Deed. Terhe Haute, Nov. 20.

He does not know Miller, and the latter admits that he never saw him. Tho deed is acknowledged before one F. R. Sabin, a notary public of Sedgwick county, Kansas, on May 13 last.

Y Nov. 20. It is not altogether unlikely that the New York Central and West Shore railroads may be tied up completely before the close ol the week, unless the companies' officials yield to certain demands of their employes. The sentiment among the men is decidedly in favor of going out at once. They say the com pany is trilling with them, and that unless neroic measures are adopted at once noth ing will como out of the matter except a continuation of the present policy of procrastination on the part of tho officials. The local assembly, which is identified with this trouble, embraces tho counties of Albany and Bensselaer. It has a membership of at least 0,000. This includes conductors, engineers, firemen, brakemen and, in fact, trainmen generally. In tho event of the present trouble culminating in a strike, there seems to be little doubt that tho Brotherhood's sympathy would be entirely with the men. The men claim that the company has been preparing for this emergency for some time, and, in corroboration, of this statement, cite an order said to have been received at DeWitt, the western terminus of the eastern division, to ship no freight except live stock and perishable property until further notice. A trainman on the Central, high np in the councils of the Knights of Labort said a strike would be undoubtedly of brief duration. "Our terms would have to be acceded to1 he said.

The free-trad o organs which perverted the reports of the coal miners', strikes to make it appear that there was general discontent among the wape-earners of tho United States, will find it difficult to explain the cause of the strikes in free-trade England.

The fact that the miners' strike has been the big exception, makes all the more plain the truth that the dullness in tho market was owing to peculiar and exceptional causes, which had no relation to the tariff, directly or indirectly.
