There has been for many years a friendship approaching affection between young William and the veteran general, .the good will of the Emperor being cordially reciprocated by his eminent subject In the German army also all aeree in their admiration of Von Moltke and the testimony to his abilities and services is as universal as it is sincere.

Berlin and the various municipalities throughout Germany will hold celebrations, and it is said to be the desire of the Emperor that Alsace and Lorraine shall show their loyalty by special demonstrations.

Bismarck Tolnts Out a Danger. Berlin, Oct 23. The Hamburg Kachrichten, in an editorial, supposed to have been inspired by Prince Bismarck, points out the danger of the suggested ignoring of the second clause of the Frankfort treaty in connection with the customs union with Austria. The article contains this declaration: "Whatever France does Germany is bound by her engagements. Her only remedy will be to cancel or modify the clause, which no German statesman wonld dream of doing." It concludes thus: "It is imperative to dictate a policy which will avoid sowing a germ of differences with France in agreements with Austria. If a disputo is once kindled on account of the treaty of 1 rank tort who can foresee the cousequences Offended the Austrian Government. Vienna, Oct. 23. It is reported that Mr. J.

Western Express Hates Will Not Be Advanced. Chicac.o. Oct 23. The traffic committee, composed of representatives from the Adams, the Wells, Fargo & Co., the American, the National, tho Northern Pacific, the Pacific, the Southern and the United States express companies, is holding a meeting here. There will be no advance in Western rates, with perhaps one or twominor exceptions. Last year the rates to one or two points West were reduced and possibly the old rates will be re-established. The only thing of importance will be to complete the schedule for the advance in Eastern rates. The reason, it is said, for this advance of CO cents a hundred is simply the fact that the express companies are losing money at t?.e present rate. The meeting will continue for a day or two.

DAN'L THE FALSE PROPHET

Prosperous State of Trade That Belies the Dire Predictions of Mr. Voorhces. Enthusiastic Republican Campaign Rallies Throughout Indiana Tariff and State Debt Form the Leading Topics. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Brazil, Ind., Oct 23. The autograph letter from Senator Voorhees, in lithograph form, published recently in tho Journal, is being widely scattered by the Democratic State central committee from Indianapolis. Hundreds of comes have been sent to miners and mill men here. ' That Mr. Voorhees is not a good prophet there is evidence in our own midst. In an interview this morning Mr. It L. Keith, of IL C. Keith & Co., wholesale dealers and manufacturers of cuff-holders and other brass novelties, doing a general jobbing business in every city in the United States, says: "This has been the most successful year's business since we began in 1883. Our trade shows the most healthy financial condition of tho country that we have ever experienced. The hue and cry about the McKinley bill havingparalyzea business is utterly false. We have not lost a dollar this year on account failures, which cannot be said of any other year. Besides, we have just closed a contract with a factory in Wasterbury, Conn., for a five years1 supply of goods at 10 per cent less than ever before. Our trade with this house averages $50,000 yearly. It employes a thousand men and does a business aggregating a million dollars yearly. The firm has been in the same line of business for over forty years, and are wide awake, conservative managers. They certainly nave no fears of an upheaval of values as the result of the tariff." Hon. James E Watson on the Stump Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL. Albany, Oct 23. The most practical and eloquent speech of the campaign was made last night by Hon. James . Watson, of Winchester. Mr. Watson is a young man. but the obstructive policy of the Democracy was never shown up in such a light by any speaker to an Albany audience. The beneficial effects of protection and the advantages of reciprocity with certain countries were made so plain that the most simple mind could grasp and understand them. The arguments of Captain Hilligass, the Democratic editor, who spoke the night before, were thoroughly riddled and made to look; as ridiculous as they were. Mr. Watson's speech, following so close upon that of Hon. II. U. Johnson, has almost caused a split among the Democrats here, and they are viewing with alarm the probabilities of the secret ballot under the new law. Mr. Watson spoke for nearly two hourB, and he was followed by Joseph Letter, candidate for prosecutor of this county, in a short but brilliant speech. Mr. Watson will address the people of Howard county next week, closing the campaign in Kush county. Addresses at Muncle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Muncie, Oct 23. Hon. Hiram Brownlee and Senator Thos. E. Boyd further aroused the Republican enthusiasm in this city tonight with their discussions of the political situation of the present campaign before a good sized crowd of citizens at the rink. The gentlemen proved interesting and able orators well versed with the people's affairs. It was shown how a Democratic Legislature and officials made a State debt of eight and a halt millions and were still getting in deeper without devising means to get out. The outrageous acts of partisan overseers of different penal institutions defaulting and leaving worthless bonds as surety and other things done by the Democratic party at the expense of the people for the purpose of holding power were handled. The people of this county are being thoroughly impressed with the serious situation of affairs made by the Democrats. As yet the Democrats havo offered no contradiction ot the facts. Mr. Lovett in Jasper County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Rensselaer, Oct 23. A good audience, composed, in a great part, of farmers, assembled at the court-house, Tuesday afternoon, to listen to an address by Hon. John W. Lovett, Republican candidate for Attorney-general. For nearly two hours the speaker held the closest attention of his audience, who manifested their approval by frequent applause. The speech was logical, forcible aud eloquent, treating of both State and national issues. Protection, the McKinley bill and reciprocity were treated as to their effect upon the farmers and producing classes, and the clear manner in which the speaker showed the benefits to be derived by them was received with approval. The silver bill and labor laws were also ably discussed. Rally at Worthlngton. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Wortiiixgton, Oct. 23. Quite a large Republican meeting was held here last night General Coburn made an able and forcible speech, covering the great issues. The people are aroused to the importance of the work in hand. We have an excel-. lent county ticket Mr. Darnell, the candidate for Congress, was here to-day in the course of his canvass, lie is hopeful of winning the race. There aro four candidates for Congress in the field. Greene will tell a good story for her excellent county ticket on election day. Meeting at Brooklyn. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. Buooklyx, Oct 23. a large and enthusiastic audience heard the McKinley bill ably discussed by W. R. Asher, of Martinsville, who handled the subject to the satisfaction of all. He said the only ground the Democrats were fighting the McKinley bill on were tin plates and pearl buttons. All tho county candidates were in attendance and made short speeches showing why the Republicans were managing tho county in a better way than the Democrats. Morgan county will come out with her usual majority of four to six hundred. Air. Reverldge at Bedford. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bedford, Oct 23. Albert J. Beveridge spoke here to-night to by far the largest meeting of this campaign. Thero were five times as many voters present as Senator McDonald spoke to here last week. The audience listened in deep attention, and was enthusiastic, cheering time and again. The meeting did great good. The Republicans of Lawrence are aroused as tbey are in presidential years, and their fighting blood is up. This meeting was like that of two years ago. Gren Smith la a Newspaper Row. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Washington, Oct 25. Usurper Green Smith, whom the Gazette, of this city, has been making a bitter fight against, directed his remarks in a speech to the Democrats last night wholly to the editors of that paper. To-day the Gazette gave him a terrible overhauling. General Coburn at Bloomfleld. S;tcl&l to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomfield. Oct. 23. General Coburn addressed the Republicans at this place last night in a line speech. The Republicans are active and aggressive in this region, though this was the first political speech of this campaign. ; Ron. John 31. Hutler at Washington. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Oct 23. Hod. John M. Butler addressed a large audience, composed maiuly of farmers, at the opera-house. His speech was a vote-maker. Campaigning In Dubois County. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BlllD's-EYK. Oct. 23. Hon. W. E. Humphrey, of Crawfordaville, has just closed a successful campaign in this county. Hon. J. L. Bretz, Democratic candidate for Congress, refused to meet him in joint debate

at this point Mr. Humphrey's tariff speeches are winning many votes for the party. TERRIFIC GALE OX THE COAST. .

REGARDED IIER AS A FRIEND

If Mrs. Whitehead Was False to Sirs. Tettit the Latter Did Not Suspect It So Much, at Least, All the Evidence Shows Efforts to Prove a Conspiracy The Preacher's Confession to Mrs. Kate Bradley. Special to the Indianapolis JonrnaL Crawfohdsville, Ind., Oct. 23. The Fettit murder trial is still slowly progressing, and the combined testimony, so far, bas failed to show a conspiracy between Fettit and Mrs. Whitehead to slowly kill Mrs. Fettit with repeated doses of strycb- ' nine. At the time Mrs. Whitehead told Yeager that Mrs. Fettit was growing worse. and advised a consultation with Dr. Black, Yeager said be understood the case thoroughly, but would consult as desired. Yet another witness testified that Yeager said he could prescribe what was needed if he knew the patient had run a nail in her foot, conveying the idea that ho did not know what to do. Things seem to be mixed on this point, yet Dr. Yeager testified that be had suspicions all the time that something was wrong. Mrs. Frank Brown also saw Fettit aud Mrs. Whitehead come to a festival at about 11 P. M.. Feb. 14, 18S9, and they seemed to have a great deal to say to each other. Frank Brown also was at the festival, and corroborated what his wife said. Miss Alice Carter went to Pettit'a house on Wednesday morning, the day Mrs. Fettit died, and upon orleriug to help, Fettit referred her to Mrs. Whitehead, who, he said, had charge. While Mrs. Fettit was at South Bend sho saw Fettit and Mrs. Whitehead at the band social, and they ate supper together. After the camp-meeting she had a talk with Fettit and be read to her the letter of Mrs. Shields, who had written, statiug what she bad beard concerning the rumors of Mrs. Fettit being poisoned, and Fettit said: "Ain't this terrible! God knows I am innocent." The cup of tea that he made on Sunday, said to have contained strychnine, was for himself as well as for his wife. Ho had made the tea in a tin cup, and after his wife learned this she said that she bad had strychnine in it and possibly had not washed it. Fettit then threw out all the tea. He said that he was sorry that Mrs. Shields had beard of these rumors, because she would go to the bottom of it. When the witness suggested that lie investigate these rumors, be said his past life was too bad; and the witness wished he would clear it up. After conference, the witness told hirn she was sorry be had withdrawn, and he said that he had done so to keep from having a trial not fit for ladies to attend. He said he was not afraid of the grand jury, because ho wonld be in California or elsewhere. He stored his goods at the house of the witness. Mrs. Kat Bradley heard Mrs. Ford say, soon after the death of Mrs. Fettit, that Fettit should remain in New York several weeks on account of his danghter, and Fettit said he could not because ho had camp-meeting matters to attend to. He made fun of Mrs. Whitehead about having her teeth extracted, and said that Mrs. Whitehead was a jewel of a woman, and a pleasant companion to travel with, as she did not need a Saratoga, but only a handsatchel. This was at the supper table after Mrs. Fettit died, and Fettit seemed to be under the influence of linuor. Fettit said that Mrs. Whitehead had told them her troubles, and they had sympathy for her, and sho had always been a warm friend to them both. About 11 o'clock Fettit and Mrs. Whitehead were absent from the rooms. After awhile Fettit came in through the parlor, carrying some bed-clothing, and just afterward Mrs. Whitehead came in through the dining-room. Fettit said the bed-clothes were to make places for people to sleep on the iloor, which was done. The next witness was Mrs. S. Vater, of Lafayette, wife of the editor of the Call, who was present a portion of the time during the illness of Mrs. Fettit. She did not notice anything particularly strange or uncommon in the conduct of Fettit or Mrs. Whitehead, but knew that Mrs. Whitehead was very anxious about Mrs. Fettit. She went riding with Mrs. Whitehead the afternoon before Mrs. Fettit died. Mrs. Whitehead said she wanted to set a breath of fresh air, because of tho sick-room being so full of chloroform all tho time. Mrs. Whitehead and Fettit went to look at the corpse together at the Shawnee .Mound church. Mrs. Whitehead was at her house when Fettit called on his way back from New Y'ork. Of this she did not think strange, because they both had standing invitations to come at auy time, and she noticed nothing unbecoming in their conduct. When she and Mrs. Whitehead were attending tho May Musical Festival at Indianapolis they did not see Fettit during the time, as has been charged. Mrs. Whitehead often came to her house and then went to musical entertainments at Lafayette, but never with Fettit that, she knew of. While at Fettit'shousesuen'ever thought of anything being wrong in any particular. When tho witness called to see Mrs. Fettit on Monday evening, Mrs. Fettit said she was sorry to keep Mrs. Whitehead away from home, and hoped it would not bo long, as she expected to be better soon. She didn't know how she could spare Mrs. Whitehead, as she was like a sister to her. The evidence is showing all along that Mrs. Fettit and Mrs. Whitehead were very warm friends, instead of enemies. On cross-examination the witness said that she talked with Fettit after his wife died, and he did not seem intoxicated in the evening. Mrs. Kate Barre, of 167 Huron street, Indianapolis, was a witness. She, in 1S&), lived at Shawnee Mound. She remembered the festival spoken about in February, and she saw Mrs. Fettit going with her daughter, and she stopped at her house as he was going. Then she saw Fettit and Mrs. Whitehead come in later. The la?3ters'and the witness, on cross-examination, bad a tilt over the exact time that Mrs. Fettit came to the home of the witness, on her way to the festival. James Wright and wife, of Madison county, both saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead at the social in question, and also saw them driving from West Point upon his return from the funeral of his wife. Alex. Meharry, a cousin of Mrs. "Whitehead, said that in two weeks after the death of his wife, Fettit asked him at Battle Ground his advice about marrying, and wanted to know if it would do to marry in six, eight or twelve months, and the - witness said the latter would do. He then saia that he was going to marry a relative of his (meaning Mrs. Whitehead.) Fettit was engaged to marry Mrs. Whitehead before his wife had been dead two weeks. The will of David Meharry, father of Mrs. Whitehead, was placed in evidence. This was made on Jan. 4, 18S8, and was written by Fettit. who was asked to do so by the maker. Pettit was told to make the will so that each child would share alike, and it took three days to get it arranged. Pettit said that Mrs. Whitehead was not getting her share, aud a change w as made. Meharry was worth about forty thousand dollars at this time. Mrs. Whitehead had property valued at $12,000. The executors named were Ethan, James and Alex. Meharry. and Mrs. Whitehead was appointed guardian of her invalid brother. J.N. Meharry said that during tho absence of Mrs. Fettit at South Bend Fettit came to his home and said that he had put out strychnine to kill rats, and asked for some kittens so ho could experiment on them. He was present at the church board meeting, and Fettit acknowledged having been indiscreet, and it was voted to retain him the balance of the year, hut he was told to stop going to see Mrs. Whitehead. The Petera Fall are. Manistee, Mich., Oct. Si. The report sent to Dun &, Co.'s commercial agency distinctly states the direct liabilities of It. G. Peters as being between $750,000 and ?S00.000, and thj indirect about an equal amount, bringing the indebtedness to $1,600,000. The assets are over 5,000,000, and will leave Mr. Peters a millionaire after the business is settled. It also states that Mr. Peters made the assignment at the advice of friends, in order to clear himself from several disastrous concerns which were a burden to him, among which was a Chicago concern which has sunk $400,000 for him within two years. Universally True. Bt. Lonia ront-Diiatch. To stay away from the polls on election day is equivalent to a surrender to the worst men in politics, who will certainly be there.

THREE BOLD STRANGERS. They Rob a Sleeping-Car and Secure $1,500 from the Porter, Conductor and Passengers. Socorro, N. M., Oct 23. Thursday morning as the south-bound train on the Santa Fe pulled out of Socorro three men were seen to step on board. After the train had passed San Antonio these strangers entered the Pullman sleeper and locked the door, then drew their guns on the porter and conductor and relieved them of their surplus cash. They then introduced themselves to the passengers, "going through" most of them and making quite a haul. They jumped from the train on the Basque de Apache grant, taking to the bills. It is estimated that tbey got $1,500. The thing was done so quietly that very few on the train knew what bad happened. The robbers were dressed as cowboys, with caps and mutllers, and had evidently tried to disguise themselves as much as possible. The description of them as given by trainmen tallies with the appearance of two very hard characters who have been hanging around this section for several weeks. The officers of the road have offered a reward of $1,000 for their arrest Parties of deputies have started in different directions, and it is thought that it will bo impossible for the robbers to escape. Can Only Sleep When Traveling. London Letter. A wandering Spaniard arrived in Odessa from Constantinople late one afternoon about three weeks ago, and at midnight left the city by train. On the following day he returned, hurried through the streets and squares like mad, and at midnight again departed. He repeated this curious behavior once more and has not been seen in Odessa since. At Moscow and St. Petersburg he did as he had done in Odessa, and in response to inquiries of the suspicious police in both cities laid before them, with proofs, the details of his recent life. He is Don Doreal Assento. a Spanish grandee and millionaire, who began suffering from insomnia seven years ago. After trying all other remedies he was advised by his physician to travel. He began and has not been able to stop. Only in railway carriages, in omnibuses, or in steamships can he iifM rest He has not been in an ordinary bed under ordinary circumstances for six years. Every night he charters a railway compartment or a cab or drifts about at sea in a yacht or steamship. He has been almost everywhere on the continent and purposes passing the winter in Siberia.

Oscar Wilde, in his last novel, gives utterance to the following heresies: "No woman is a genius; women are a decorative sex. They never have anything to say, but they say it charmingly. They represent the triumph of mind over matter, as men represent the triumph of mind over morals. There are only two kinds of women, the plain and the tinted. The plain ones are useful, the tinted are charming. They make a mistake, however, the tinted, when they paint to look young. Rouge and esprit used to go together. That has gone out now. As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter she is satisfied. As for conversation, there are only five women in Loudon worth talking to, and two of these aro not admitted into good society. Editors Indicted for Libel. ' Bingiiamtox, N. Y., Oct 23. Nineindict? ments were reported to-day against tho attaches of the Leader by the grand jury on account of that paper's attitude during the recent cigar-makers' strike Six are for libel three against the manager, two against the editor and one against the city editor. Thero is also one indictment against each of the persons specified, for criminal contempt of court in disregarding an injunction, issued by Judge Forbes, which prohibited all persons from unlawfully encouraging the strikers. The accused furnished $50 bail on each indictment. Two Four-Leaf Clovers. New York Letter. Mr. James Grant Wilson, the litterateur, has just returned from a trip to Quebec in company with ex-Postraaster-general James. In Quebeo Mr. Wilson was shown the grave of Francis Scott and his daughter. Scott was the younger brother of Sir Walter Scott. Mr. Wilson found on each of the graves a four-leaf clover, and the incident struck him as being a strange and interesting coincidence. The clovers were carefnlly pieserved and have-just been mailed to Hope Scott, who is living in Edinburgh. .. Runs in the Family. New York Sun. In this city there is a dmnkard fortylive years old who has a drunken father seventy years old and a drunken son twenty-two years old. They are not all drunk the whole of the time, but each of them gets drunk once or twice a week. The drink of tho three is whinky. It is said that the drunken habit runs back in tho family through several generations in -the male line. J Canadians Induced to Leave Michigan. Ottawa, Ont, Oct. 23. Mr. Ed Mclnnis, traveling emigration agent for the Department of Agricniture, has just returned from a trip through Michigan. During his visit to that State he was instrumental in inducing twenty-seven Canadian families to return to the Dominion and settle in the Northwest. He says there will be more cases of repatriation in the spring. The Situation In Wisconsin. New York Evening Post (Dem.) So far as can be judged at this distance, the Democrats have weakened their natural strength by their present position, and it will not be surprising if tho liepublican majority passes i0,000. Whatever the majority may be, Wisconsin cannot be looked to this year to give, by the vote for its State ticket, a test of popular feeling on tho national questions of the aay. Goes Without Saying. Charleston News and Courier. We are unwilling to believe that either side will resort to violence or bloodshed at the ballot-box next month, and we expect that the election will pass off quietly; but if there shall be any disturbance it does not require the gift of prophecy to enable one to predict that the negroes will be the greatest sufferers. Democratic Dilemma, Chicago JonrnaL The preposterous "tariff reform" newspapers have got to stop printing "higherprice" editorials or stop priuting "lowerprice" advertisements. To have a thirtyline "ad", contradict a column in the editorial page is exasperating in one sense but amusing in another. Hint to Mills. Milwaukee Sentinel. Kogcr Q. Mills should return vhe money he received from the Democratic committee in this State--it was 200 for each speech. He did not earn the money, and it is needed for bets as to the size of Hoard's majority.

KNIGHT A JILLSON, 75 & 778. Pennsylvania st, STARTLING EXPERIENCE. Young Man Who Rescues a Woman in a Runaway Finds He Has Saved a Corpse. Milwaukee BentlneL Shortly before 11 o'clock at ni ght, last Friday, Urand-avenue bridge was crowded with people who were returning from tho Bijou Opera-house. Two or three vehicles were on the bridge at the time, and the first was a top bucgy, drawn by a strong, but wet and panting horse, and occupied by a gentleman who, it was supposed, was a well-known physician, at whose side sat a deeply veiled lady. Just as the horse stepped off the bridge proper and on tho Wisconsin-street approach the end of the trolley wire above emitted a dazzling and blinding Hash of electricity, greatly scaring the horso. It reared high up and jumped to the side, thereby nearly upsetting tho buggy. The physician was pitched forward on the dashboard, while the woman fell sideways, threatening to strike the ground. She would have fallen out of the buggy had it not been for two gentlemen who happened to stand at that spot and caught her falling form. - But they recoiled with an indescribable horror after having thrnst the pbysician'a veiled companion back on her seat, for what tbey had held and touched was a corpse, cold and clammy in death. Before they could titter a word the doctor had laid the whip on his hovse, over which he meantime had gained control again, and drove away rau: After they had recovered from their barErise, the two gentlemen who remained beind repaired to the polico station and reported tbe strange occurrence. They did not know the physician by name, but their description of him tallied with that of a well-known physician of the city. In speaking about the affair, one of them said: 4,The sensation which 1 felt when I held the doad woman in my arms was an awful one. We had seen the buggy for about twenty-tive feet before it came near us, and, in the light of the electric lamps, we could distinguish the two people inside of it plainly. The woman was wrapped tip closely and leaning back in the corner. Her features were not discernible by reason of the thick veil which she wore on her face. When the horse jumped the bnggy was forced over to where we stood, and the shock threw the woman ont. It was easy for us to save her from falling, as she landed right in our arms. The body was but thinly clad; a wrapper was all that she wore under theshawlaroundhershonlders, I should judge. The moment I touched her I knew that I held a dead body. It was stiff and rigid, with the arms crossed in front. Through the thin texture of tho sleeves and on the shoulder I felt tbe clamminee s of death. 1 realized it in a moment, and that must excuse my rather unceremonious disEosiug of the woman when 1 thrust her ack. Before we had recovered from our surprise tbe buggy was fast disappearing on Wisconsin street." Foul Play Condemned. Boston Ilerald (Ind. Dem.) There is enormous effort making in th McKinley district out in Ohio. If Mr. McKinley is elected, it wilMjeonof the greatest triumphs known in politics, arid will altogether put Speaker Heed's success into the shade. Providing it can be done without the bribing of voters, there are a good many people not Republicans who willliavo few tears to hed over the result, Tho Democrats made a mistake when they undertook to gerrymander bo able and popular a man out of Congress. Not Retaliation. phtlartelrhia Tunes. The Woman's Christian Union has petitioned the Kmperor of China to put a stop to the horrible practice of compressing the women's f'et there out of all natural proportion. This is not, as might be supposed, a retaliatory step for the women of China having petitioned President Harrison to prevent the barbarous custom of American women compressing their waists out of all natural form by artificial contrivances. So There You Arc! Detroit Trloun. Tho McKinley tariff bill is a law. It is on tho statute book to-day. Republican defeat or Democratic victory cau not disturb it nntil it has a fair trial. Business is good and everywhere manufactories ar beiug erected and preparations being madd for a revival of trade. IT is absurd to sutler from dyfijtcpsla vrh&a Simmons Liver Regulator will euro ou.
