TILE WALTON MURDER

Strong Case Against Mrs. Augnsta Schmidt, the Defendant. Cvidenco so Far of a Damaging1 CharacterEnglish Naval Surgeon in Jail on a Charge of liegging. Eredal to the Indianapolis Journal. KOKOMO, Ind., March 2Z. The State la building up a strong case against Mrs. Augusta Schmidt, tha wealthy German woman now on trial for murder In the admitted killing- of Oscar Walton, her tenant. Saturday the Jury went In a body to Cass county to examine the farmhouse where the tragedy occurred Oct. 20, 1833. The evidence so far is extremely damaging to the defendant A number of women testified that eight days prior to the killing, while at a dinner party in the vicinity, Mra. Schmidt related her quarrals with her tenant, complaining that Walton, in dividing the hay, took all the best load3, giving her small, weedy ones, closing by saying she had purchased a revolver to shoot the man, and would kill him the next time he called her a liar. It was also In evidence that Augusta, after the shooting, fled to the town of Walton, across lot3, without hat, lonnet or wraps, wearing an old calico dress with sleeves rolled up and her hair flying loose. On one foot was an old leather boot, on the other a rubber boot, both with tops cut off. After reaching Walton and going to the calaboose for safet3 tha woman picked her nose until It bled, and then with her hands smeared the blood over her face and neck. She wanted to go to Logansport in that condition to make believe Walton had beaten her, but the officer made her wash and change her clothing. The physicians of the town of Walton called to see her, and their tsstimony was that all the blood came from her nose and that she was not hurt. The woman claims that Walton struck her once and was In the act of striking her acain when she fired. The testimony of AIr3. KMzabeth Walton, the aged mother of the victim, is that Augusta came Into their part of the house and began a tirade of abuse, whereupon Oscar opened the partition door and pushed Mrs. Schmidt back in her own part, and while trying to fasten the door the infuriated woman burst tt open and shot him dead. Walton fell in the doorway. .Mrs. Schmidt declares Walton was following and striking hor when she Bhot in self-defense. The defendant's ten-year-old toy corroborates his mother's story. This boy and the aged and decrepit Mrs. Walton were the only eyewitnesses, except the old man Walton, ahd he is non combos mentis, and therefore not a competent witness. The trial will last all this week. CHARGED "WITH UEGGIXG. British Aavnl Surgeon in Jnll nt Xerv Albany. LOUISVILLE, March 23.-A man named Thomas Edwards, who claims to be a brother of Sir Robert Edwards, the famous London surgeon, is in J4II In New Albany charged with begging. He has papers to show that hi9 name 13 Thomas Edwards, and that he was a surgeon In the British navy. His own title, he says, 13 Earl of Grayson. Edwards came to Louisville on Sunday, and, being penniless, was given Bhelter for the night by Dr. Itay Cannon, at No. West Jefferson street. To the Doctor he said he had come to thl3 country last July to see the world's fair. Upon arriving in Chicago he had started on a tpree and kept it up until his money was pone and his jewelry pawned. His credit was soon exhausted, but when he was broke his pay in the navy arrived. With this he etaxted on another spree, and kept It up until Saturday a week ago, when his money again became exhausted. He Is a younger son, he says, and is dependent entirely upon his pay for a living. His brother, he thinks, will send him money in a few days and. relieve his present embarrassment. He will then leave for his home. RBPl'llLi CA X COX VEXTI OX S. Btatt nnd CoiiKrewMlonnl Delegrnten Chosen nt Peru Saturday. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TEUU, Ind., March 24.

Governor Flower has vetoed Senator Mullin's bill providing for the Dr. Clark system of selecting municipal officers in Oswego. In his veto the Governor says: "This bill is a step backward In the science of government. It is founded upon the assumption that the people canpot be trusted to govern themselves. It proposes to substitute aristocracy for democracy, to substitute government by an oligarchy for government by th people. It confers absol'ite powers of appointment and removal, capable of being aoused despotically and selushiy upon a few men selected by electors chosen by the people, in place of limited powers of public servants elected by the people themselves. It is essentially English rather than American. It would establish in city government a small body of men like a House of Lords sufficiently large to prevent a sense of individual responsibility and yet small enough to form a compact ring. "The system of choosing public officers selected by electors elected by the people Is either an empty form, as In the cae of our presidential electors, or Is an oligarchical despotism, as was the case In the ancient cities of Greece. I have not yet lost faith In the Jeffersonlan theory of government. There seems to be particularly prevalent iust now an epidemic of municipal reform y Indirect effort. These efforts aim to bring about a political millennium by legislation or by the substitution of new-fangled theories of government for those upon which the American people have been educated. They all practically involve the assumption that local government Is a failure. I do not know of any conspicuous municipal evil which cannot be remedied under our existing Constitution and laws if the people of that municipality desire to remedy It. "But the present tendency Is when public officers are derelict or municipal matters go wrong to rush to the Legislature and change the municipal charter, and when this is accomplished the custodians of public virtue who have accomplished it relap?e once more into political drowsiness and are not awakened until other visions of maladministration disturb their slumbers, whereuion they rush again to the lawmaking power and seek reform again by Indirection. No charter tinkering or legislation of any kind can of itself make men honest or bring good municipal government. These results cannot be accomplished by any shifting of personal political responsibility from t'ne individual to his neighbor, to the Legislature or to any cutside authority. When every good citizen and taxpayer takes an active interest in securing good government then good government will come, but not before, and all attempts to reach a iolItical millennium by any other route than this simple and straightforward path will fall." I'ses of n Library. Julian Hawthorne, in Llpplncott. "You said just now that reading catalogues was one of your agreeable duties. Is any other specialty pleasant to you?" "Yes; I take great pleasure in hunting through the stores of the library in quest of facts or data, or to obtain all existing information on a given subject." "You make such researches on your own account, of course?" "Oh, no; I am constantly being requested to look up the subject by Senators, Representatives and others. It does not appertain explicitly to my duties, perhaps, but I am always happy to undertake it. My familiarity with the books in the library Is no doubt greater than thut of any other person. I know where to look for what I want, and tt doesn't take me long to find It. For that matter, I believe we are somewhat more prompt in getting at what we have than the British Museum people are. A friend of mine who used to read there told me that, after he had made out, each day, a list of the books he needed, and handed the order to the attendant to be tilled, he always had ample time to go out of th? building, w.lk several blocks, take a solid lunch, and come back again before the books were ready. But I doubt whether you would ask for any book here that we could not get for you Inside of ten minutes." I was tempted to test Mr. Spofford's abilities ns a discoverer of losn treasures by propos'.ng that he bring me one or two productions of my own. But I refrained. The only harm he had ever done me was to grant me copyrights; had the option been his he would doubtless have refused them. I owed him no real grudge, therefore, and would not be warranted in subjecting him to embarrassment. Obituary. DUBLIN. March 25.

EEJOICIXG- IN BRAZIL

People of Tiio Celebrate the Eiri of the War at that Port. Bnisness Kapidly Reviving Especially with Jlerchants Having American Connections Foreign News. (Copyrighted, 1S01. by the Associated Press.) RIO DE JANEIRO, March 25. Affairs here are rapidly resuming their normal aspect, and aside from the damage done to the forts and along the water front by the fire from the insurgent war ships all traces of warfare have disappeared. The past week has been one or general festivity marked by the constant firing of salutes and the holding of reviews. The usual religious processions were held" and the church services were very largely attended. For months past the city was filled with troops and almost everything partook of a military character. Now the troops, or at least by far the greater number of them, have gone south to reinforce the government armies in the States where the insurgents are still opposing the federal authorities. The harbor has been deserted by all the foreign war ships and the loading and discharging of merchant vessels is proceeding as before the revolt. The government entertains no fear of much further trouble in the south. The insurgent sympathizers claim that the placing of Admiral De Mello at the head of the provisional government will attract many persons to the rebel standard, but the government here believes that the Insurgent forces will gradually melt away until nothing remains. The government has 12.u, men at Harare and more at Sao Paulo, and these forces are believed to be more than sufficient to meet 'any that the insurgents can bring against them. It is reported here that the rebels are already retreatlnc: from Rio Grande do Sul, and It Is thought that by the time the government reinforcements arrive there there will be no enemy for them to engage. At any rate It Is declared by the government officials who are In a position to know the exact position of affairs in the south that no battle of consequence is likely to occur. Business in Rio de Janeiro Is rapidly reviving. This is epecially true in case of houses dealing with American merchants. It is the general opinion here that the attitude of the United States during the trouble here will result in a material increase of the business done with that country. There has, of course, been much talk concerning the ilight of Admiral Da Gama and his officers on board the Portuguese war ships. Most of what has been said in this connection, particularly about the trouble between Brazil and Portugal growing out of the asylum afforded the insurgent officers by the commanders of the Portuguese ships, was simply a bluff. At no time since the affair has trouble been likely. The story to the effect that the police were arresting many foreigners suspected of being concerned, directly or Indirectly, with the revolt is a gross exaggeration. As a matter of fact.- the police have- arrested no foreigners for this reason. Whatever arrests have been made were simply for violations of th? laws arrests that are likely to occur at any time. It can be pointed out that not a single foreigner of importance has been molested, let alon arrested. The correspondents of the various American newspapers have left the city en route to their homes or are making preparations for their departure, which is evidence that the trouble is over, so far as Rio de Janeiro is concerned. There may be gome news of importance later from the south, but the consensus of opinion is that the trouble there 13 also practically over. Nearly all of the Americans who were of the crew of the dynamite cruiser Nlctheroy have left for the United States. Martial law continues to be enforced here, but this fact has little or no effect upon the business of the port. The government fleet has been ordered to proceed south to-morrow. It is thought, however, that these orders will be countermanded. The whereabouts of the insugent war ship Aquldaban is not known here. BRITISH SARCASM. Cleveland' Hnvrntlnn Policy Criti cised by the London Times. LONDON, March 25. Commenting this morning upon tho approaching departure to Honolulu of Admiral Walker, of the American navy, to establish a naval station, the Times says: "ThiEJ seems to mark a precipitate descent from the pinnacle of virtue on which President Cleveland took his stand a short time ago. It Is as easy to understand the advantages that would accrue to the United States navy from the possession of so advantageously placed naval station as Pearl harbor. The civilized world has also every reason to be contented that the United States should protect these Islands, even though such protection seems to have no other meaning than confirmation of the provisional government. What seems perplexing Is the contract between the concession to sordid expediency and the lofty resolution expressed by President Cleveland hardly three months apro. It Is so impossible to question the correctness of the cannons of national morality then, laid down by him that one cannot help Inquiring what has since occurred to Invalidate them. Neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate has repudiated his high moral principles. Possibly the recent electoral successes of the Republicans has infiuenci'd in President Cleveland's mind an apprehension. A great reverse to his party often has a debilitating effect upon a President's nerves. Moreover, President Cleveland had no Idea that President Dole and his friends were such obstinate people. Wo can well understand how thoroughly unpleasant and unpopular it would be to land American marines in order to put down the provisional government and restore the Queen, but when all is urged that can be urged in behalf of frail statesmanship it must be confessed that the surrender of the President of the United States to the other President Is not too dignided." An Aerorinnt Drops Into the Sen, CANNES. March 25. A large crowd gathered here to-day to witness a balloon ascension by the aeronaut Wilton, who Is well known In America. No car was attached to the balloon, and Wilton ascended hanging to a rope. When fifteen hundred feet high the balloon was caught in a current of air that carried it rapidly seaward. It was apparent that W'lton could not control the valve at the top of the balloon, which, had It been opened, would have allowed the gas to escape and the balloon to gradually descend. For some unexplainable. reason the aeronaut let go h'.s hold of the rope from which he was dancdinir. and his body shot down Into the sea with frightful velocity. The accident occurred in full view of the spectators, and a number of women in the crowd fainted away. Pleasure boats hurriedly made their way to the place where Wilton hnd fallen, and after a short search his lody was recovered. His death must have been almost instantaneous. Tlie Sutherland AV111 Cne. LONDON, March 23. The trial of the creat Sutherland will case has been fixed to bein on June 1.

The present Duke of Sutherland, who Is the stepson of the plaintiff, will contest the case to the bitter end. The cas promises to be one of the most important and sensational that has ever come before the probate court. Kosmthi Library. TURIN, March 25.

EfTeet of the Ruo-Germnn Treaty. ST. - PETERSBURG, March 25.-The official organ of M. Wltte, Minister of Finance, calculates that the concessions made by Russia to Germany in the new commercial treaty amount to 2,600,00") roubles, while the Russian agricultural export trade will alone gain by the German concessions 6,123.0MO roubles. Besides this free passage will be allowed into Germany of Russian goods amounting yearly in value to 47.1X'.000 roubles. Great store 13 set upon the concession to Russian petroleum exporters. According to this concession these exporters will be allowed the option of paying duty by measure instead of weight. Russian petroleum being heavier than American, there has hitherto been only about 43.0n) tons of Russian oil among ttM.OOO tons annually imported by Germany. This concession will save the Russian exporters nine copecks per pood. Long Distance Illcyele Race. PARIS, March 25. The long-dlstancs bicycle race which began on Sunday last was concluded to-day.

Ashlnger retired one hour before the finish. Huret and Linton were carried on the shoulders of the enthusiastic spectators. "WASTE OF CHILD LIFE. Troubles of Infants l"nally Acquired, nnd Xot Hereditary. Baltimore News. Dr. Henry Dwight Chapman, of New iork, has been making a study of the children In the Postgraduate Hospital in that city, to which he is attached. Amid the normal conditions of everyday existence, what is more charming than to observe child life, with its innocence, quaintntss and beauty? But In a hospital, whare the child Is a sufferer mentally or physically defective the subject of misfortune It is a piteous object. The most distressing feature is that the child is not responsible for its own unhnpplness. In the cases studied by Dr. Chapman, which numbered GOO, there were 222 males and 272 femaks. and they ranged from ages of one week to four years. In the families twenty-two different nationalities were represented. Among the living fathers 245 were healthy and 113 were unhealthy: of the mothers 298 were healthy and 75 wsre diseased. In 114 instances the wives had been deserted by their husbands, who were idle and intemperate. "Every saloon," says the doctor, "In a poor and densely-populated neighborhood means so many neglected women and pinched, ill-clad and suffering children." But even where extreme poverty existed there was a disinclination to leave an infant or very young child in a hospital. The fact was disclosed that the troubles of the six hundred infants were usually acquired and net hereditary. While a tendency to constltulonal disease may be inherited, it is the bad surroundings and faulty conditions of life that powerfully predispose to Illness. Poverty and Ignorance kill and cripple more than disease germs. Thus 257 of the cases were deprived of maternal nourishment before the proper time, and 101 of the babies never received it at all. Rickets, of course, soon developed, with softening of the bones and Irritation of the nervous system. Almost all these diseases could have been prevented by proper care and diet. The waste of child life in densely populated centers, especially New York, is enormous. Last year the bodies of 3,012 children under five years of age were received at the morgue, and nearly all were burled in Potter's field. They were killed by poverty and Ignorance. Those that do not succumb are cramped in the beginning of life by hunger and cold, by scanty training and equipment and In every way insufficiently prepared for the pitiless competition that awaits them in the fierce struggle for subsistence. There seems no specinc, according to the physician's observation, for the poverty and Ignorance that are so widespread. The cause Is Individual and social, and so must the cure be. The individual must be educated and strengthened pTiysically, mentally and morally. But Individual improvement requires individual and prolonged work on the part of those who are better equipped. But J our civilization Is selfish. Here there were, I'm this physlclaji's observation. 117 females In a small area of a city with an earning capacity of from $2 to $3 a week, and yet 10 per cent, of the inhabitants dying in the city do not accumulate enough in a lifetime to bury themselves. To correct this waste of human life there is no remedy, but some reasonable form cf co-operation. This Is socialism, but socialism in its highest form philosophically and ethically right. The proper socialism is only the development of a nobler individualism. Untimely Thought. The Outlook. One could, perhaps, imagine no circumstances less likely to be provocative of the sense of humor In the victim than those attending the sudden shutting up of the folding bed in which one was sleeping. It gives the Spectator, therefore, great pleasure to relate an Incident proving that there are still Mark Tapleys In the world who can "come out etrong" even in a folding-bed casualty, despite the unpleasant possibilities often detailed in the newspapers. The Mark Tapley In this case was a lady advanced in years, who was visiting her son. Her muflled screams awakened the family in the middle of the night. Woman-like, she had locked the door, but the son bethought him, opportunely, of a ladder which the painters had left standing against the house, and thus climbed Into her room through a window and rescued her. When she had assured herself that she had not been greatly damaged she turned to her son and said: "Ned, what do you suppose was the first thing that came to me when I found that I was shut up in that bed? It was the old hymn: " 'Make me to live that I may dread The grave as little as my bed. " Pious Philosophy. Ram's Horn. Religion that isn't used every day In the week will have worms In It on Sunday. Don't allow yourself to grow old prematurely. Keep enough sQnimer In your heart to thaw the winter in your veins. It is not always the biggest lion that roars the most. There isn't a poor man In the world who would do a rich man's work for the pay he gets. There was a time with every drunkard when he made his boast that he could drink or let it alone. Flowers are the children of light. It may be the field lily of Judea, the daisy of Scotland, or the red rose of England; each is Hushed by the divine breath, and sacred to all that love it. If sunlight had to be paid for there are people who would go around claiming that candlelight could beat it. If some people had the faith to move mountains they would blockade every road over which their neighbors had to haul wheat to market. Knster l'udillni;. Harper's Bazar.

One thing delightful about Mr. Herbert Spencer is his perfect freedom from the trammels of ordinary affection. He has not for wire years been in the habit of going out to dinner, but while he was still sufficiently gracious to trifle with the weakness he suffered acutely from the inanity of ordinary conversation at the table. In order to overcome this dilhmlty he invented a pair of ear clips. When he found himself placed between two commonplace persons vhos3 chatter seared his soul he adjusted his ear clips and ate his dinner amid a mighty and grateful sllei.ee. She Cnn Act iitural.

WEST VIRGINIA FEUD. Two Factions Probably Gunning: for Each Other iti the Mountains. THACKER, W. Va., March 23.-W. S. Ferrell, one of the wealthiest coal land owners In Tug river valley, was shot Saturday night by one of the two Riidle brothers, noted desperadoes.

There Is a continual inquiry for information about occupations for women. Almost every ierson who comes in contact with the public is daily, if not hourly, importuned to know what women can do to support themselves, or, granting that they may have a roof over their heads, how can thev earn money to supply themselves with sortie of the many things that are, by women of refinement, considered indispensable? Clerks, stenotrraphers, typewriters, bookkeepers and the like are almost a drug in the market There are usually scores of applicants for every vacancy. It is a curious and unfortunate fact that women seem to look upon some of the most desirable positions as what they choose to denominate menial, and will decline to take them even with excellent -pay and very light duties. Many of them are so much more desirable than positions behind a counter that the wonder Is that more girls and women do not take them. There are few more agreeable relations than that of companion. Of course, much depends on the temper and disposition of the employer, but the world is full of gentle women who will make such an occupation a perpetual pleasure, if only the employe Is of the right sort. To be able to conform to circumstances, to be adaptable, amiable and' alert for opportunities are some of the requirements of such a position. Interested service rendered to well-bred people always meets its reward. Because some companion or nursery governess has been imposed upon and ill treated Is no sign whatever that all women are tyrants or all places unpleasant. The good ones are much less likely to be commented upon, and the agreeable part of life Is much less made of than that which Is disagreeable. Many families would very much like some young yvoman of refined tastes to give instruction to small children. Many mothers have their household cares to look after and would be willing to pay a small sum to have the children amused and instructed during the morning. They do not know of any who can do this, consequently there is very little said about it. but if it were understood that such help was available it would open up a field of occupation for a great many unoccupied persons. , ti The professional mender is an institution that is highly appreciated by those who have taken advantage of this neyv occupation for women. She goes to the house on stated days, puts all the family clothing In order, sews on buttons, fixes band3 and belts, brushes up and renews ruffles on skirts, renovates the wardrobe, as far as simple repairing goes. Of course, she does not make,, except it be some plain garments; her field is entirely distinct from that of a dressmaker. Another line of useful employm ent is that of a professional packer. Many aromen do not understand packing trunks, especially if they have valuable or perishable articles to put into them. The professional is able to pack a trvnk so that It could journey across the continent with no fear of accident. It 13 almost always the case when one is going away that there are plenty of other things to do. and the expert packer, whose services may be had for 50 cents to $1 for the Job, is a welcome assistant to heads of families, who are, as a rule, quite as fully occupied as their strength will permit. These are but a few of the possible new fields for women, but they offer suggestions that may be useful to a great many persons. Womnu'n Ramp of Disorder. Pittsburg Dispatch. "It 13 generally supposed that men are much more untidy than women," said a book seller yesterday. "But 1 can say, as far as my experience In the business goes, that a woman is utterly devoid of the sense of order. Do you see that Jumbled pile of books? Well, they yvere all stacked up in piles, alphabetically arranged, a few minutes ago. There are some 1,409 books that we are selling for 5 cents each, and we place them in piles for the convenience of buyers. A short time ago a man came in and spent five or ten minutes looking over the books, during which time he selected five, for which he pahV me. You would not have known that the books had been disturbed, for they were left standing just as they were when the man came In. When he left that lady you see going out of the door came in. She spent five or ten minutes knocking the piles over and making chaos out of the order in which we try to keep the books. After she had completed her work of thoroughly mixing: the books she turned to me and said: "1 can't find what I want. I'll come to-morrow when I've got my glasses with me Womanlike, she had been looking for something she couldn't see. Common occurrence? I should say so. This is no novelty. It is novel, however, when a yvoman leaves this bargain counter in any sort of order. Excuse me yvhlle I arrange these books again." The True Bohemian. H. C. Dunne r, In Scribner. A Bohemian may be well defined as ths only kind of a gentleman permanently in temporary difficulties who is neither a sponge nor a cheat. He Is a type that has existed in all ages and always will exist. He is a man who lacks certain elements necessary to success in this world, and v ho manages to keep fairly even with the world by dint of Ingenious shift and expedient; never fully succeeding, never whollv failing. He is a man, in fact, who can't swim, but can tread water. But he never. nevf.r, never calls himself a Bohemian at l?a;3t. In a somewhat wide experp-nce, I have known only two that ever did, and one of these was a baron at. As a rule, if you overhear a man approach his acquaintance with th? formula, "As one Bohemian to another," you may make up your mind that that man means an assault u;on the other man's pocketbook, and that If the assault is successful the damages will never be repaired. That man is nit a Bohemian' he is a beat. Your true Bohemian always calls himself by some euphemistic name Ho Is always a gentleman at olds with fortune, who rolled in wealth yesterday and will to-morrow, but who at present is willing to do any work that he is sure yvill make him immortal, and that he thinks may get him the price of a supper. And very often he lends more largely than he borrows. LouklnK L'p u Word, Boston Home Journal. "Father." said his son, looking up from a book, "what is pride?" "Pride," returned the father. "Pride' Why a oh, surely you know what pride is A sort of being stuck u; a kind of well proud, you know. Just get the dictionary; that's the thing to tell you exactly what "it is.
