LITTLE BABY'S GRAVE

Evidence of a Foul Crime in Which Two Young' Women Figure. Jndfro Ncal, of Lebanon, Asks the Grand Jury to Indict Members of the Mob That Tried to Lynch Hall. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZII Ind., March 5. The unearthing of a well-formed child in Cottage Hill Cem etery, west of the city, yesterday afternoon, by sexton Ed Core, will probably lead to tho discovery of what Is believed to be a hidden crime. Saturday afternoon two finely dressed young women, heavily veiled, were seen digging what was supposed to be a small grave. Mrs. Hanlon, who resides r.rar the cemetery, watched the proceedings, and she proceeded to investigate, going to the strangers and questioning them. After hesitating for a short time, they admitted they were digging a miniature grave for an infant, and one of them took the little corpse; from under a heavy cloak that she wore, and deposited It in a little grape basket and buried It about six inches under the ground. They claimed that the child was still-born, and that its father was forced to work, and that its mother, being unable to attend the funeral, intrusted it to them to inter in this rude manner. The authorities were notified, the infant was disinterred, and Coroner Moershon held an inquest over its body to-day. It is plump and well formed, and the physicians believe that it was in good health when born, giving several reaso.13 for their theory. The two girls said their names were Osborne, and that they resided at Carbon. Foul play s suspected, and detective Furlong immediately went to Carbon to work on the case. VIIlTTOrS JUDGB SEAL. Demand Indictment Ilctnrned Agrnlnftt the Lebanon Mob. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., March 5. The grand Jury convened here this morning, and, while instructing the members as to what would be expected of them. Judge Neal told them he wanted a thorough Investigation of the actions of the mob which came so near lynching the negro Hall, Feb. 5, and that if the evidence Introduced during the investigation was of such a nature as to warrant it, he wanted Indictments returned against every person who was a member of or In any way aided the mob. He said no favors must be shown to any one, but all who are guilty must be brought to Justice. There is much feeling against the Judge for this action, as it is claimed that lack of conlldence in the court alone Inspired the mob to such action. A farmer who was in the city and among the wouldbe lynchers on the day of the trouble, speaking of the affair, said: "If the Democrats nominate Neal for Judge again he won't carry a precinct In the county." There is much speculation a3 to the prospective action cf the grand Jury. Sunday Irlze Fit; lit .enr Lognusport. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., March S.IIIstory does not record a more brutal and disgraceful rrize fight on Indiana soil than occurred near Logansport yesterday afternoon.

The men fought all over a fortyacre woods, regardless of ring, ropes, rules or referee and without g'.oves, a timekeeper being the only official attendant.

Tne defendants then secured a continuance until the next term of court. The motion for a new trial by Cnrist.

SHORT BUT LIVELY

The Kale-Skotski Fight at Shel by ville Ended by an Accident. Skotski Falls Tlirougrh the riatform ami Is Badly Hnrt The Fiyht Given to the Indianapolis Man. The fight arranged between Herb Hale, of this city, and Ed Skotsky, of Shelbyville, several months ago, occurred last night in the old Shelbyvllle distillery, a mile east of the town on the Pennsylvania railroad tracks. The preparations made by the sports of Shelbyvllle for the holding of the fight were complete. Marshal Bruce aided in this matter of leaving the town to the possession of the sporting fraternity by going to Greensburg. All the vehicles in the town obtainable were brought into use for conveying the crowd to the distillery. Arriving there the crowd, over six hundred in number, made its way to the malt room on the second floor. The preparations for the match were complete. A stage fifteen feet square had been built on the north side of the room, around wh'ch were placed chairs, benches and other articles that could be used for seats. A dollar admis sion was charged, and everybody appeared willing to pav it. Several hours were spent in general Jollification by the crowd before the principals appeared. some dimeulty was met in securing a referee. Finally Chris Zimmerman, of this city, was prevailed upon to act, upn con dition that if there was no knock-out within twenty rounds, the fight should be awarded to the one ha vine the best of it. "Friday" Clark and "Pete" Treeter were selected as the seconds of Hale, while "Buckshot" McBride and "Senator" Pvles acted In a like capacity for Skotsky. The principals stepped into the ring at exactly fifteen minutes past 10 o'clock. Hale appeared to be in tne pink of condition, while Skotsky had a bad color and looked at least twenty pounds lighter than hi3 opponent. The men were not weighed, nut it was given out inai riai? weighed 13S pounds, and that Skotsky tipped th? beam at 14(J pounds. J ie men put on the gloves without a word from the referee and shook hands. Hale doing the leading. Round 1 Hci'.e danced around his opponent, while Skotsky waited for an opening. The honors were even until Skotsky, t.y one of his straight punches, well adapted to oppose the style of Hale, landed on the latter's nose and drew first blood. Time was called after Skotsky had landed several tlme3 lichtlv on Hale's face. At this juncture it was seen that the flooring of the stage was not well adapted for a prize light. Long thick boards had been laid over supports, and most of them extendel out several feet beyond the supports. A number of spectators had been using the ends of the boards for seats, and had been ordered to stay off. Referee Zimmarmn warned the crowd to remain clear or tne platform, and the fight went on. Round 2. This round was a repetition or the first except that Hale got in several chance blows on Skotsky' s face, which drew blood. Skotsky had apparently the more science of the two, but his condition rendered it impossible for him to get at hi3 man. Time was called with Skotsky landing blows in Hale's face. Round 3. Skotsky evidently seeing that he had his man where he wanted him. started in to deliver a succession of face blows. At this moment Hale grew vlcloua and made a swing for Skotsky's Jaw. Skot sky made a running duck. The ends or the boards had again been occupied notwithstanding the warning of referee Zimmerman. When Skotsky made the duck a board on which two men were sitting tilted on account of the weight at one end. Skotskv's foot struck the board and he stumbled Into the opening made by the raising of the board. One of his legs was badly cut and bled profusely. He was carried to a hack and driven to the city, where ne re ceived medical aid. At the ring Skotsky. as he was unaole to continue the fight, asked that the referee award the stakes to Hale. The stakes .amounted to about $S0O, there being a purse of $135 and about l0 being taken in at the door. Skotsky's wound was dressed and he was resting easy at last accounts. A large delegation of local sports attend ed the fight in a lody, and each one expressed himself as being satisfied with the grit shown by both principals. CITY NFAYS XOTKS.

From this city they went almost directly to New Orleans, after which tlu-y traveled slowly through Alabama to Florida. They first stopped at Jacksonville, where they had the pleasure of meeting champion Corbett. Chameleons are evidently very numerous, for in a lett;r Mr. Powell said that In the sunshine the color of the ground at times1 changes with tr reflection given off by the chameleons.

MARCH MAGAZINES. If variety of literature is a test of mag azine excellence, then the Century for March meets all requirements. It opens with a very interesting account of life in the Tulleries under the second empire. written by a lady who was an inmate of the palace. Striking portraits of Napoleon, Eugenie and the Prince Imperial accompany the article. Another paper whien will be read with Interest describes a pilgrimage to Lourdes, whose famous healing waters are sought by such multitudes of the faithful. It is written by Stephen Bonsal in sympathetic spirit, and touches care- , fully and in excellent taste upon the question of the genuineness of the "cures" and the belief in the miraculous waters on the part of those in charge. A paper on Edward Grieg, the musical composer, is contributed by William Mason. Gerard Dou. the old Dutch master, is the subject of a sketch by Timothy Cole. "The Clty Tramp," his habits and peculiarities, are described bv Josiah Flvnt. who has made a study of the gentry. An essay by Lowell is on the Imagination. Philippe, count ae I'arls, offers a warm tribute to the military ability and nersonal dualities of Gen. Philip Kearny. Prof. Jeremiah W. Jenks writes of "The Suppression of Bribery in England," and Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer has an architectural paper, with the Madison-square Garden for its theme. An article which might be read to advantage by ail persons sympathizing with the fanatical anti-Catholic movement is by Rev. Washington Gladden, and tell3 some plain truths about this foolish crusade. Several other miscellaneous contributions and the usual complement of fiction and verse make up the number. Scrlbner's Magazine for March opens with an account, by Joel Chandler Harris, of the condition of the hurricane sufferers on the Sea islands and the relief work done by the Red Cross Society. Much has been written on this subject in the newspapers, but Mr. Harris throws a new light upon certain phases cf the calamity and emphasizes the need of continued aid during the year. It is the testimony of Miss Barton and other agents of the Red Cross Society that while they have faced many emergencies the conditions they are comp-?llcl to deal with in rellevelng the population ft the Sea islands have never ben paralleled in their experience. The "High Building and Its Art" is an architectural paper by Barr Ferree, with illustations showing th? high blocks built within recent years in Chicago anJ other cities. "The Farmer in the North" is the title of a series of pleasant sketches by Octave Thanet, of typical agriculturists encountered by her at the world's fair. A sketch of the Italian artist, Tito Less!, is contributed by Philip Gilbert Hauler ton Another installment appears of the posthumous papers of Peter A. Grotjean, giving an account of a merchant's voyage to the West Indies in 18H6. Charles R. Dodge writes of subtropical Florida, and Philip G. Hubert describes the cable streetrailway systrm. The fiction consists of a chapter of a new serial by William Henry Blshor, an installment of Cable's "John March, Southerner," and a well-told short story by George A. iribbard. There is rather more than the usual proportion of fiction In the March Harper. Under this head comes a sketch by Grander Matthews In his series of Manhattan vignettes, which develops a subtle phase of life and character in a way suggestive of French literary art. Other short stories are by Mary E. Wilkins. William McLennan, W. E. Norris and Lawrence Alma Tadema, Du Maurier's "Trilby" continues its charming record of the life of I'arls art students. Among the more serious contributions Is a study by Poultney Blgelow of the Jew as he Is found in Russia, and of the causes of the Russian animosity to the race. The question of the immigration of these Jews into other European countries is one causing considerable disturbance. Dr. T. M. Prudden considers the subject of "Tuberculosis and Its Prevention." A botanical paper by W. Hamilton Gibson will tend to popularize the scientific study of flowers. R. R. Broker describes the process of making steel and the progress of that Industry. The Forum for March begins with two articles on "An Income Tax," in which the demerits and merits are set forth by David A. Wells and Representative Hall, of Missouri. Simeon Sterne tells the causes of recent railroad failures. H. C. Carroll, frcm the census, shows the stability of the great religious sects. Edward Bellamy, the author of "Looking Backward," is permitted to occupy some space with his plans for reforming society, while Professor Sumner regards them as attempts to make the world over. Professor Pea body advocates colonization as a remedy for city poverty. There are other articles, making the number one of more than usual interest. The Forum is sold for 25 cents by all dealers. Worthlngton's Magazine for March furnishes an attractive variety of good things. The leading article, "In the Snake River Valley," by Prof. F. G. Wright, Is an excellent description of a xxrtIon of the Rocky mountain country that Is little known. The illustrations from nature contribute materially to the interest of the article. Dr. James Weir discusses "The Effect of Musical Sounds on the Lower Animals" in an interesting way. "Fate of Aaron Burr's DauRhter," by Eettie F. Pool, presents some old facts in a new garb. "A Good Match," by Dr. F. Blanchard, is a first-rate short story, and there are two or three serial ones, with a number of short articles on various topics, and some fairly good verses. Published by A. D. Worthlngton & Co., Hartford, Conn. Frank Leslie's Monthly for March has some interesting features. Frederick S. Daniel writes of European parliaments; J. W. Fosdlck entertainingly describes an artist's winter at Fontalnebleau; William A. Garrison descriles the horrors of capital punishment. There is a descriptive and historic article on Fort Hamilton, on Ing island, and a well-prepared paper on John Tyndall. A IMLGHDIAGR TO LOURDES. Where Fnlthfnl Believer Go to ne Hetileil liy 31Kie Wntera. Stephen Bonsai, in March Century. In the long line of sufferer.- drawn up in the open square, there were over a hundred litters and ambulances. It was a panorama of our heritage of woe. With pale, haggard faces the suppllints recited the act of contrition, and told and retoM their beads, while those who were able now and thou raised their yellow faces from pillows of pain, and riveted their gaze on the great linage of the Virgin. While the end of the Interminable column was yet a great way off, there came in view something shining, glistening. Under a silken canopy of richly embroidered satin the venerable Cardinal Archbishop was bringing from the secluded recesses cf the sanctuary the consecrated host. Little wonder, then, as the procession advanced and n eared the healer of the incumble little wonder that there were blanched faces In the litters, and on some a look of abject terror. As there nrose in thought the shadows of long-forgotten sins,' some among the many wept hysterically, and recited In feverish haste the unsa'd prayers. My acute sympathy for several of the sufferers in the long sad line was so great that I had really little power of feeling left for the masses. So, as the host approached, and as the crucial moment drew near when the miracles at Lourdes are generally reported to take place, I could not refrain from running down the line and having one last look at my favorites. First came one of those tremendously powerful hucksters that one sees in Paris, in long blouses and great broad-brimmed felt hats. They dissipate any foolish impressions one may have gathered from Captain Marryat and Peter Simple that all Frenchman mu9t be physically weak. Though of almost gigantic proportions, and still of ruddy complexion, tn.s man could not move a firger or lift his head. The doctors sail it was a rheumatic affection, but had been able in no way to relieve him. Seated near him , was a young lady of pale, drawn features. ! f-everely gowned, as though for a classical ! matinee at the Francalse. She was appar- ' ently endeavoring to Ignore the strangeiie.ss of the situation, and every now and ! then would elevate her lorgnette and con- ; centrate hr attention upon vacancy and space. Again he would break down completely and Bob. 1 took up my post behind the litter of a little blue-eyed fcirl with eolden ringlets and

An eltectlon of the spine pinned the gay butterliy to her litter. Nearer and nearer the herald drew, ami sharper and yet more Insistent were t!:e tones of his commanding prayer; a tremor, almost a shudder, ran through the column of the afflicted, so true Is It that hope 19 akin to fear. The lips of thousands were moving In prayer, and In the Rreat square, where thousands were assembled, one coula have heard a pin drop. The priest who led walked as one in a trance; his face wore an expression of ecstatic rapture, and was turned heavenward. Suddenly we were blinded by a glare of light, and saw no more; we could hear only the strident, imperative tones of the priest, and the clanking sound of the massive k1J chains. For a moment we were dazzled ly the reflected rays from the holy vssel; lut then, as the blinding light was projected beyond our station, with eyes that stiil blinked, we looked up, and caught a glimpse of the ostensorium. the sacred vessel cf fold, silver and precious stones in which tha lost was displayed. The poreous canopy borne by the axxlvtes was now abreast of the line of crin-pU-s. The archbishop elevated the Host, moving it now uo and down, now to tho right and to the left, describing the sacred symbol. "Hosanna to the Son of David!" crld the priest, and the cripples who had not been able to move stretched out feebly their arms toward the sacred vessel and uttered the y?arnin cry, "Our Lidy of Iourdes. cure us if It be thy will and his!" Slowly the clanking sound of the golden chains grew softer, as the canopy moved further and further down the line, and the brilliant light of the sacred vessel grew fainter and fainter, until at last It disappeared suddenly, as the sun dips at evening into the sea. The nervous tension had been almost too much for creatures of fh--h and blood, and the cripples and the bedridden lay exhausted, pallid and still. 1 behind the lonj row of litters Fttll knelt una prayed those who loved and eherl?hfi their unfortunates, those whose suffering Is often greater than tr" nctuf' pain of the afflicted. Twice the mother of the little blue-eyel girl half arose from her position of meelc and humble prayer, and twice she fell baric upon her knees again. She longed, sha feared, to look around th- cono-aUng canopy to see what change the passing of th Host had wrought. At la-t jhe drew herself forward. Wnlner heavily upon the litter, and. after another moment vi hesitation and acute suffering, gazed down tenderly upon the mass of golden curls that concealed the beloved face. "And. Angele. how do you feel?" "Hetter. much better." "And, my angel, do you feel as If" "No, mamma dear, I do not feel as If I cannot walk; I cannot move; I have tri.d. but wasn't. Jean" Jean was the idiot b y good not to laugh once while the Host was passing? You must give lean a itor.bon out of mv box." The mother gave the bonbon, whii hot tears rolled down her withered cheek.-?. The father of the idiot child grasped her suddenly, almost ron vul-dvly, by the hand, and whispered: ".My rister, many are called, but few are chosen. It U Ills will." Mai O'Hell Jnntlflcd.
