ON BUD STONE'S COFFIN

His Wife Offers an Hysterical Prayer and Falls Headlong. TIio JItirdercr's Drain Weighed FortySevou Ounces Xo .Clew to Armstrong Missing Brazil Girl. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Ind., Feb. 17.-A little mound of yellow clay on "Squire Stone's farm, eight miles south' of this city, marks the grave which hicJea-from vle-w the remains of murderer James E. Stone. The burial took place at noon to-day. One hundred neighbors. Stone's father, wife and brother were present at the Interment. The body was taken from thla city this morning by a liveryman, the undertaker, first employed having refused to bury Stone because of the threatening attitude of Harrison township citizens. There waa no ceremony at the grave, but the face of the dead man waa exposed to the view of the crowd. The only dramatical incident at the grave was a hysterical prayer offered iip by Mrs. Stone. She prayed in a walling tone for a period of ten minutes, calling on God to save the soul of her husband and his six victims. At the tlose of her wild supplication she threw herself on the coffin and remained there, calling the corpse by endearing epithets until lifted to her feet and borne away. The grave Is alongside a public road, about three hundred yards frcra the murderer's father's home,' and some distance from Ebenezer churchyard, where the V rattens are baried. The pofct mortem showed Stone's brain to bo In a comparatively healthy condition. The cerebrum weighed forty-seven ounces, cerebellum, ounces. The convolutions of the brain were shallow, some of them merely marks, indicating a low degree of intelligence. The weight Of the. brain was two ounces less than theaverajje. One lobe of tho cerebrum showed signs of incipient "softness," but the doctors said he was undoubtedly sane. Examination of the wen or swelling on his r.eck proved It to be a dermoid cyst and that it had no connection with the lymphatics or blood vessels. The threatened opposition to the burial of Stone in Harrison Jownship did not develop anything; sensational. AKMSTROXG GO.K FOR GOOD. Tipton nml Howard Cotmty Odlclnl QunrrelliiK Over the Cr.rapp, Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO. Ind.. Feb. 17. The recapture of the tramp, Sam Youns, who escaped with Cal Armstrong, Tipton county's defaulting deputy treasurer, .last Monday nlfjht adds but little to the chances of capturing the ex-preacher. The couple separated at the jwll door, and did not see each other afterward. Young throws additional light on the manner of escape. The day of the delivery three saws were in some mysterious manner slipped into tho Jail, these tools being made from corset steels, evidently contributed by one of Cal's female admirers. While in Jail here Armstrong taught the inmates new tricks in Jail breaking. Several of the iron bars were sawed almost completely off. but the work was so ingeniously covered up that the most careful scrutiny of the Jail guardians failed to detect It. The hole? made by the saw were filled with composition made of soap ami Iron rust scraped from the bars, and dene so skillfully that the most practiced eye could be deceived. The escape has been the cause of very bitter feeling between the authorities of Tipton county and the local officers, which puts an end to any hope that may have been entertained of the foxy young man's capture. The Tipton officers make ugly charges against the turnkey of the Kokomo Jail, and the county Ilatly declines to offer any reward for Armstrong's recapture. Yesterday the officers at Tipton declined to comply with a request from hero to arrest Mae Shellenberger, Cal Armstrong's sweetheart, suspected with having aided htm in his escape. Youn IMtzer, who was suspected of furnishing Armstrong with the saw with which the bar In his cell wes remo ved. has been released. All this has nettled the Howard county sheriff, and he will take no further steps to apprehend the fugitive. With this state of affairs Cal seems to have a certain assurance of liberty and need no longer be bothered with fear of pursuit. It is the general belief that the fugitive Is now safely in Mexico, where his brothers Mont and Joe are. I'ltAZIL. GII1L MISSl.XG. Srulu llnrker Huns A way. nnd Covers L'p Her Tracks.

Special to the Trdlanapolis Journal. CONNERSVILLH. Ind.. Feb. J7. Great excitement rrevails in this city to-day over a sensational affair that has occurred between two of Connervllle's most prominent society people, and what began as a Joke has proven to be .1 most serious affair. Last evening Miss Gertrude GrilTln and Miss Josie Frybarger, the latter a granddaughter of John Orr. called at the shoe store of Mr. Frank Arnold, a young man just past thtrtv years old. and a leader in the "XTC" Club, a society organization of this city, for a short call. Marriages wvre being di'vussed. and In a spirit of fun Mr. Arnold propositi that he ami Miss Fry harper be united in th? Itond.s of wet lock. The challenge was laughingly accepted, and Milt Hoi berg and Will To up. wha had witnessed the proceedings." went over to the county clerk's o:llee o provure a license. Clerk Mcintosh tilled it out in lue form, omitt'.nc, however, to subscribe the list part of h! ' surname. Tae doc ument was conveyed to th stoiw tht blar.ka for tta- i tlstiiMl purpose J jTiiperly !il!od by ba;a tieron an 1 I'lvr,- V'li.iTi ! Downs cabled in. was Informed of the banter, but after examining the documents declare 1 tnat were the words of the usual ceremony pronounced the marriage would be more than a mere Joke. Nothing daunted, however, each supposing the other would back down. I they atood before tha Mayor.' and

the ceremony was begun. The responses, "I do." In reply to his questions were distinctly pronounced by both, and in conclusion Mayor Downs said:' "I pronounce you man nnd wife." Xot until the ttnal words were uttered did a realization of their deed dawn upon the Jokers. Then the pale faces of the spectators indicated that the Joke was a Joke no longer. The Mayor affirmed that the marriage was binding, and legal advice was immediately sought from attorneys G. C. Florea and Iteuben Conner. Several, legal points were Involved; among them the possibility of the license not being valid on account of the clerk's signature being Incomplete. It was also shown that the license could only be genuine when the groom socured it in person, but these points availed nothing agnlnst the fact that the Mayor's official performance of the ceremony rendered it legal without the license, although he would be subject to line forthe act were the licence not genuine. When these facts were learned everything was done to promptly suppress the Information of their marriage, but this morning" the' circumstances became generally known. Society Is in a whirl of excitement over the event. Mr. Arnold is a boarder at the home of Miss Frybarger's grandparents, with whom she resides, and th couple's relations were always the most friendly, although neither had the slightest intention of matrimony. Miss Orr is nineteen years old, and made her debut into society last season. Steps will be taken Immediately to have the marriage annulled, if possible, before Jute Swift, of the Circuit Court, It be'.nsr thought that by each signing statements that ti'e marriage was done simply in a spirit of fun, and recording the Rime In the county records, it would not be considered legal.

PIEX0T0?S WAU FLEET

Why the Plans Mapped at New York Were -Not Carried Out. The Scheme to Shoot Dynamite at the Ilebel Forts and Ships Thwarted Uosquito Territory Towns Seized. RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb. 17.-Thcre were forty-five deaths here, yesterday, from yellow fever, and fifteen deaths from other fevers. The United States cruiser New York has gone to sea suddenly. It is suspected that she is tainted with fever. The United States cruiser Detroit left here a week a.TO In order to look into the state of affairs at Santos, Paranagrua and Desterro. She had no fever on board when she left this port- There are only seven foreign war ships here at present, and there la little doinj?. There Is absolutely no truth in the sensational report circulated to the effect that one of the rebel ships recently fired on the steam launch belonging to the United State3 cruiser Newark. ' The Santuit, the steamship commanded by Captain Sturges, which arrived at Pernambuco on Jan. 20, towing the Brazilian torpedo boat Pirating, formerly the Destroyer, arrived here during the past night with 270 passengers on board. Considerable curiosity as well as astonishment has been expressed at the fact that the much-talkcd-of cruisers Nictheroy and America, fitted out in New York, have been so inactive. People expected the Nictheroy, especially, to do something startling with her dynamite gin, and when she did nothing but cruise outside of Pernambuco and recently made for Bahla the report was circulated that there were dissensions among the crew and that the dynamite gun was useless. The Associated Press correspondent has investigated the inaction of the Pelxoto Hcet, with the result that he has obtained the following statement from a person who should undoubtedly be able to tell the true story of the affair. In the Hrst place, the Nictheroy never intended to engage the Aquidaban, and when it was reported that the Republic and Aquidaban had started In search of the Nictheroy the latter vessel was ready to do some good steaming in some direction which would separate her from the insurgent ships as much as possible. Following is the plan of operations which was mapped out for the Nictheroy in New York between the dynamite gun company's people and the representatives of the Brazilian government: A perfect map or chart of the harbor of Rio de Janeiro was carefully measured and divided up into ranges for the dynamite gua's projectiles. The Nictheroy was to go to the entrance of the harbor of Rio de Janeiro, and, from behind those entrances, protected from attack by the guns of the forts at the entrance, was to have hurled her huge dynamite shells into Fort Villegaignon, situated on the island, which has proved of such great assistance to the insurgents. After Fort Villegraiprnon had been silenced, still, according to the plans, the Nictheroy was to have entered the bay and to have taken up a position behind Fort Villegaignon, and from there, safe from the tire of the rebel ship-?, she was to have sent her dynamite missiles into the enemy's lleet. I tut the facility with which the Aquidaban and the liepublica left the harbor of Rio de Janeiro, thus demonstrating the very weak nature of the fire which the entrance forts could direct upon a man-of-war, changed theee plans and the Nictheroy was to have sailed for Desterro, the southern stronghold of the insurgents, with the Intention of dynamiting that place into subjection. This last plan might have been carried out before this had it not been for the fact that the Peixoto fleet has been lying at Pernambuco and more recently at liahai, anxiously waiting for a supply of ammunition for its powder guns. The vessels were lilted so hastily in New York and there was so much anxiety to get them south that only a very-smnll 'snpply of ammunition for the powder guns was taken on board. It being understood that the remainder was to follow promptly, but it seems the company which was to furnish the ammunition did not keep up to its contract and the isictheroy. America anu other vessels of the Feixoto fleet have been far rom ready to engage the enemy, a fact wnich might heve beuii valuable to the insurgents had it leaked out before this. In order to conceal the true state of affairs reports were spread that the new cruisers were awaiting the arrival of the German torpedo boots, etc.; that there were diysonrlons among the crews, and that the dynamite gun was out of order and practically useless, owing to the fact that the Brazilians were unable to work It. The Associated Press correspondent, however, is assured that the dynamite gun is in perfect working condition at present, and that both the Niirtheroy and America have crews si fficent to ii'rht the two vessels. There was some leakage to some of the supply pipes of th? dync.mite gun when it was tried affr leaving New York, but these defects, due to the haoty manner in which the cruiser was fitted out, have been remedied and the I3r.amiio Gun Company has on board the Nictheroy at present an expert handler of dynamite guns who pronounces his weapon to be in tho most perfct condition. Finally, by this time, the Nictheroy and America have received their supplies of ammunition for the powder guns, and both are in good fighting trim. SKIZEI) nV NICARAGUA S. Creytovn Tnlrcn from the MoNfinltn ImilnriN History of n Treaty. WASHINGTON. Feb. 17.-The news of the seizure of Grey town by the troops of the Nicaraguan government, which was unofficially received here to-day. Is not believed to indicate that American Interests in that important section of Central America have been placed in Jeopardy. The idea that the Mosquito territory, lying within the limits of Nicaragua and including Greytown, is under the direct British protection Is shown by the offlcial records to be erroneous. At an early date In this country the Mosquito coast, lying within the boundaries of Nicaragua and Honduras, was so protected, but in ISoO, rs the rerrult of negotiations conducted In our behalf by President P.uchanan, touching the construction of the Cl.Tyton-Hulwer treaty. Great Britain relinquished this protectorate. This was done by the treaties between Honduras and Nicaragua and Grett Britain. One point that may jrive a shadowy riftht of interference to the British is found in a paragraph in tha treaty with Nicaragua, by the terms of which the Mosquito Indians are given the right of governing, according to their own customs and according to any relations adopted by them not inconsistent with the sovereign rights of Nicaragua, themselves and all persons residing in the district. Subject to such reservations, Nicaragua agreed to respect ni not to Interfere with the Indian customs. If the Nlcaracruans have taken forcible possession of tho Mosquito territory they may have been fsrullty of a violation of the treaty, but this would probably be merely technical, in view of the fact that the district is now practically dominated by Jamaica negroes, the original Indian stock having" almost disappear d. All arrangements which the Unite! Stares h-5 made or attempted touching the Nicaragua canal have been directly with the Nioara,'.-uan government. No odicial Intercoarst has been had with the local authorities at Greytown, and our consular agent nt that Own holds an cxequator from the Nicaraguan government. The ilomburdmctit Snnpended. BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 17. Advices received to-day from Rio de Janeiro state that the insurgent squadron in the harbor there have suspended their bombardment. Five thousand Insurgents from the southern part of Brazil have entered the State of Jao Paulo and are marching in the direction of Bio de Janeiro. They have had several f klrmislies with the government troops, and in each Instance have defeated them. Peixoto has nt artillery, infantry and volunteer companies to defend the frontier of me Stale cf Rio de Janeiro.

Judge White, of the county court, to-day filed an opinion In the contest between the factions of the Order of 'the Solon In the contest over the voluntary assignment to M. G. Clark. The court attacks the methods pursued by the order in securing a charter and the society which they organized under it, saying: "The master has found that the assignment was illegal. In that I think that he was risht. The order was not insolvent in the sense that it would justify a voluntary assignment. There were very few creditors, and for small accounts, and very few claims except by ollicers for salaries or for money 'paid out for the order. I know of no law that authorizes an assignment merely for the purpose of winding up the business." Rev. W. R. Covert this afternoon entered an appeal to the isupr-ime Court from the decision.

i THE TRIAL BELAYED

Pollard-Beclrinridse Gase Will Not Be Heard Till March 8. Arguments of Attorneys Before Jndco Bradley at Washington A Compromise Finally Arranged. WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Judge Bradley, of the District Supreme Court, after listening to counsel for each side this morning, fixed March 8 as the date for beginning: the hearing of the suit of Madeline Pollard against Representative W. C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentucky. The case came up to-day in the form of hearing arguments on the question of postponement of the trial. The courtroom was crowded, many friends of the defendant being among the on-lookers. Judge Jere Wilson and Calderon Carlisle, of this city. represented Miss Pollard, and Col. Phil D. t Thompson, of Kentucky, and W. A, Mo Kenny, of this city, represented Congressman Breckinridge. Mr. McKenny took the place of Enoch Totten. who is ill in Florida, Counsel McKenney stated that he did not want a postponement, but merely asked for a continuance of the case until March 21 because of the Illness of Mr. Totten and the necessity of tailing depositions. Mr. Carlisle followed. "We are here," said he, "to oppose the motion. Since the case was filed last August no step has been taken in or out of court by the defendant looking to a speedy trial of the case. The demurrer was filed, argued and overruled, and thereupon a plea put in under an order of the court (last September). Nothing has been done since until very lately, and that has not been to prepare for trial on the part of defendant. The extraordinary nature of the case demands that the defendant be ready for trial. Colonel Totten is not the only counsel, and the cafe can certlnly be proceeded with in his absence. Noticeshave been given of a preat number of depositions on the part of the defendant taken in Cincinnati, Hot Springs, Va., Danville, Lexington and Frankfort. Ky.. and other places. It was early disclosed that a policy of delay and obstruction was to be carried out. and this has been done. The case is an action for damages for breach of promise to marry. The third count details the relations between the defendant and the plaintiff from 1SS4 to the time of bringing the suit Now, when the plaintiff is ready to go to trial she is met with the . proposition, under the guie of setting a day, to postpone the trial for more than a month. We ask the court to exercise its discretion and not submit the plaintiff to an unreasonable and unwarranted delay." Judge Wilson also spoke for the plaintiff. He argued that postjonement, owing to the absence of Mr. Totten, was not warranted, and that plaintiffs counsel could not assent to the motion unless affidavits were filed showing the testimony to be taken in the proposed depositions was material. "They are seeking." he paid, "to examine seventy-five or one hundred witnesses on matters that occurred several years before any promise was made." Colonel Thompson asked that the case be forward ed to a certain day In the term instead of being continued, "and then let-, ling it lapse over to the next term of court and having six or eight months elapse before its trial." He argued that, Instead of seeking a postponement, he was trying to force a trial. "We'll see when we get through.", he concluded, "whether the plaintiff is entitled to the respect of the court or is here for a vindictive purpose." Mr. Breckinridge's counsel stated that March 13 would be a satisfactory date for the trial, while counsel Carlisle urged that Feb. 27 .be settled upon. After a long discussion, Judge Bradley, after referring to the fact that Mr. Totten was not the only counsel, settled the matter by fixing on Thursday, March 8, as the date. AVltnewse for tlie Defense Testify. LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 17.-In the examination of witnesses for the defense In the Brecklnrldge-Pollard case, two witnesses were examined. Major McClellan, principal of Sayre Institute, where Miss Pollard attended school from the fall of 1IS4 to Februaryt 1SS5. said she was frequently absent from school. She left the institute In February, 1885, and did not return until September, of the same year. Then she remained until April. Duiing this time it was not uncommon for her to be absent for one or several days at a time. If she had any acquaintance 'with Colonel Breckinridge at that time witness knew nothing of it. One of witness's daughters was Miss Pollard's teacher and three of his daughters were schoolmates of Miss Pollard, so witness thought that if anything had been wrong with Miss Pollard he should have known it. He had no knowledge of anyone communicating with her at the time she was In school. Her tuition was always paid in cash, and receipts were given as if the money had been paid by her mother. Witness did not know why she left school either time, except for lack of funds, and if she was In a delicate condition in April, 1SST, he saw no indication of it. He had no information concerning Miss Pollard's relations with James C. Bodes till about the time of her leaving school In the spring of ISSj, when he learned that Bods had been paying her bills up to that time because she had contracted to marry him when she finished school, and the payment of her board, tuition, etc., was part of this contract. , . The next witness wjs Mrs. M. A. Ketchum. She stated that Miss Pollard entered her house as a boarder in the fall of 1S&4, ami remained in her house till about February. lS5v". Miss Pollard was absent several times. During her stay at Mr Ketchum's house Miss Pollard's room could be reached from the street. If there was anything unuvjal about Miss Pollard's condition when she left her boarding place either in 1SS3 c 1SV-.H it was not discovered by Airs. Ketchum. Depositions for the defendant will be taken In Danville, Ky., Monday, at Frankfort Tuesday and Wednesday, and again here on Thursday or Friday of next week. THE DISABLED PARIS. . Oiliclnl Account of the Accident to the American Stennmhtp. LONDON, Feb. 18. An otlicial telegram concerning the accident to the steamship Pari3 has been received here.

LIVING 1VIT1I A GHOST. The Experience or n Group of Yaunjr Dnchelom In AVanhinfrton. Washington Post. The recent death of Mr. Oswald Charlton In England recalls some InteresMng memories of his life in Washington. Many years a so, and previous to his marriage to Miss Mary Campbell, of this city, he was a young attache of the British legation. In company with several of his friends, he decided to keep bachelor's hall one winter in the cosy double frame cottage that formerly stood on Farragrut Square. At that time rumors were current about the premises belnjr haunteL It was principally on this account that Mr. Charlton and his friends r-lected the house in which to pass the winter and verify or disprove the truth or falsity of the jrhoulish stories afloat regarding: this modern house of seven gables. The winter's occupancy of the houee proved a most interesting chapter In the life of the young feliows and a prolilic source of conjecture and wonderment to their friends. The ghostly materializations, at leapt In the matter of a presence felt rather than seen, were of such freqaent occurrence as to awe. tewilder and llnaJly delight the party of fun-loving felloes quartered In the Fpooks' stronghold. Sifting back as far as possible the stories, the leg-end ran that at an early date, even before the cottage had been completed, there had been a murder committed on the ground. However, as far back as the winter of 1ST2 or 1S73, in whlcn the cottage was occupi-?d by Mr. Charlton, knowledge that the tfhost had icpeatedly manifested Itself to the young fellows In the most unmistakable manner was the absorbing theme of Interest. Kach and all of their friends in turn wished to have the opportunity of feeling the impalpable presence, and each In turn was given the desired treat. However vengeful the wandering spirit might have een at heart, there was nothing of thi3 apparent in its periods of haunting the premises. It was more on the mischievous, fun-loving order. The most puzzling tiling about the ghost, which was never really settled to the young fellows satisfaction, was in regard to its gender, thoug-h the weight of opinion leaned toward Its belns: a woman. Mysterious and unaccountable rapping throughout the house and Jangling of bells at weird times, when human agency wai not to have been expected, made no lack of entertainment. Hut beyond this it wai a ghost of originality of manifestation, ana showed a rooted dislike to oUarette smcke. Frequently in the evenings, when a rarty of young- men were sitting smoking in thi dining room rather late, if the apartment became somewhat cloudy with smoke as would naturally be the case with half a dozen vigorous pairs of young lungs pulllrf away for a couple of hours at an unlimited supply of cigarettes the fjhost would make its presence felt, liach of the smokers in turn would feel rhe soft touch of a hand pass across the lace, and a sudden swift, cold breath, as the cigarettes were extinguished and the cloud of smoke cleared as if by magic. At other times. In walking across the room there would suddenly come a blinding sense of an intamrible handkerchief tied about their eyes with such dexterity as to effectually impede further progress. Apaln, about the height of a foot from the lloor would rise sudden barriers that, upon investigation, would resolve themselves Into nothingness. In going up or down the stairs it was of frequent occurrence to meet tha ghoytly visitant, who passed on its way with the swish and rustle as of silken garments. The mystery was never explained, and though at times the ghost made the other occupants of the house feel decidedly queer, the winter's experience was, uion tha whole, not to be regretted. There is a curious story of the Charlton spur, that from time of which tho family has no record has been In their possession. The quaint old border custom of using thlt spur to replenish the larder of the hou of Charlton is decidedly investing It wltlJ the properties of a mascot. The retainer! having" been invited to dinner, the spur waj served up in a covered dish. When the lid was lifted the sight of the spur intimated to the retainers that that waa about tha most nourishing thing contained in the larder, and that it behooved them to properly supply the deficiency. This spur was exhibited recently before the Newcastle Society of Antiquaries. Sir George Trevelyaa has in his possession a painting of the lata W. Bell Scott, in which the incident of the Charlton spur here referred to is portrayed, The Good That Came of It. Washington Special to Louisville CourierJournal. The President distributed patronage, where it would do tho most good, otherwise the defeat of Mr. Peckhai would have been simply overwhelming. The only good that has grown out of the nomination of Mr. IVckham is the tilling of a hundred or more fat otlices with Democrats, which .might have gone for a long time If an emergency of this kind had not come up.
