AN INDIANA GEYSER i

WELL SKAIl SHERIDAN THAT SPOl'TS WATER ISO FEET HIGH. Bartholomew County Farmer Suspected of Murdering- Ills Son, Who Is aliasing Other State ews. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHERIDAN. Ind., April 22. A well drilled In the northwest corner of Hamilton county, near Shorldun, last Thursday, In quest of gas or oil, has resulted In the development of a water geyser that Is an Indiana marvel. At a depth of 9W feet the drill apparently dropped through a crust of the rock, and a rush of water followed that submerged tho derrick and drove away tho workmen. Tho drill was finally removed, which gave tho water an unobstructed vent, and ever since it has been escaping at a rate that threatened to submerge tho neighborhood. The water escapes through a six-Inch pipe and Is thrown fifty feet abovo tho top of the derrick, which Itself li eighty feet high. The force of the stream Is such that the column has been swayed from side to side by tho wind, has knocked the cross timbers from the upper part of the derrick, leaving nothing but the upright places. The roar of this Indiana phenomenon can be heard a mile, and tho amount of water that It discharges In a day is almost Incalculable. The lands are soaked with It, and the farmers owning land In the Immediate locality are of the opinion that they have been ruined. Several plum have bci-n suggested to control the well, but nothing has yet been advanced that appears feasible. Some remarkable water wells have been drilled In from time to time In the Indiana gas belt, but there has been nothing up to date that compares with this spouter. In other wells the outburst of water has been accompanied by a How of gas, and the gas has been the propelling force, but In this well there Is no appearance of gas, and the motive power apparently comes from some other source. The secret of this power Is the more mysterious since the well Is located In country that Is perfectly flat. There Is no elevation of consequents within a radius of many miles. The water discharged has a slightly saline taste, but is perfectly clear. Farmers aro digging a trench to conduct the water to a creek two miles distant. CHIME IV THE COIXTRY.

ALABAMA'S LYNCHING

DETAILS OF TUB HANGING OF FIVE NEGROES BY A MOB. Taken from n Posse and the Three Men and Two Women Strang; to Limbs of TreesTheir Crimes. NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 22.-Dlspatches from Greenville, Ala., confirm the report that three men and two women were lynched not far from there late Saturday night or Sunday morning. A few days ago Watts Murphy, a young man of prominence, and nephew of er-Gov. Thos. Watts, was murdered and burned near Butler Springs, Ala. Sheriff Bargainer and G. W. Hlnson, of Greenville, left for the scene of the crime ns soon as they received the news that the remains of the murdered man had been discovered. The sunpccted parties, four men and two women, all negroes, had been arrested In the meantime by the neigh.bors of the murdered man. The men, on being questioned, acknowledged the crime, and gave a detailed account of the horrible butchery, which was revolting In the extreme The parties were all In the field together when a dispute arose, ending by one of the negroes knocking Murphy on the head with a limb of a tree. Tho other men then Jumped on him till ho was Insenslblo. His body was then carried to a log heap of hastily gathered brush and sticks. These were piled upon the body and the heap tired. One of the men said their victim turned over after the hair hud all been burned off his head. Wood was added to. the idle until everything was consumed but the heart and liver. They refused to burn and were taken away and burled. The first clew as to the whereabouts of the missing man was obtained by the finding of the teeth and a few bones, which resulted in the arrest and confession of one of tho criminals. The murderers were Cal Johnson, Fred Douglass, Jim Calhoun, Sim Jerntgan, Mary Davis and a woman called "Jenny." Sim Jernlgan. It Is said, was the one with whom the quarrel began, and who struck the blow which felled Murphy. He escaped after being taken into custody. Sheriff Bargainer and Mr. Hlnson went to the Buckalew place, where the- prisoners were being held. After arrival, - however, neither the negroes nor their captors were to be found. A search was made of the surrounding woods, and In a short time the three men were found h&ngtng from one tree and the women from another near by. The sheriff began an investigation, but was unable to get any, facts as to when composed the mob. Another dispatch from Greenville says: A posse of men who had charge of the five prisoners left Butler Springs about It o'clock at night to bring tnem to Jail here for safe keeping. The route was a lonely one, and the trip was necessarily slow. At about 3 o'clock Sunday morning at a lonely part of the road the party was suddenly surrounded by an armed body of men. who seemed to spring from both sides of the road. The posse was covered with Winchesters, and, under pain of instant death, was halted. Reports say that there were about one hundred men in the attacking party, all heavily armed and all cool and brave. They made short work of it. Taking the five negroes, they tied their hands, and then they were taken one at a time and hanged to limbs of the trees that lined the road. The five bodies were found hanging there in the morning by church goers. The affair has created a great deal of excitement, but it is claimed there wasi no doubt whatever of the guilt of all of the victims of lynch law. Nea-ro Rioter Shot. RALEIGH, N. C, April 22.

Washington Special to Chicago Record. The microbe cranks have started a story about the communication of disease through bank bills, and are thus offering a good argument in favor of sdver money, which the treasury people say is absolutely absurd. There is no place on earth where so much dirty money is handled daily as in the redemption division of the Treasury' Department. That office has been in existence for more than thirty years and employs between thirty and forty women. They handle millions of bills every year, the filthiest of paper money that can be imagined; yet Mr. Rogers, the chief of the bureau, who has been connected with it ever since its organization, tells me that there never was a

Noah Brooks, In New York Times. The drive to the pyramids from Cairo, which occupies about an hour and a half. Is beautiful at this season of the year, when the delta of the Nile Is one vast expanse of verdurous growth. The avenue, bordered with great acacias and tamarisks, Is admirably kept, and In the delicious cool of the morning, the brcesc blowing from the south, and the trees rustling with their "multitudinous rippling," the excursion Is one of unmixed delight. On each side of the way are wide patches of clover, and we meet Innumerable camels and little donkeys, loaded with the luxurious herbage and bound for tho Cairo markets, other camels and other donkeys, with return caraoes, are traveling toward th Bedouin vlliaaes that skirt the plateau on which the pyramids are built, and carriages filled with slght-seers, or carrying hlh dignitaries and dames, roll along tho broad and well-shaded roadway. But when one 'reaches the end of the drive, and, panning the handsome and luxurious hotel (the Mena House) that has been built here, ascend to the tableland above, he may well bid farewell to peace of ndnd. The backsheesh hunters are upon him like the flies of Egypt: and the files of Egypt, let me say, are as abundant now as they ever could have been when Mosea said to Pharaoh: "Let my people no." It Is not so much that these creatures beg, but because they insist on attaching themselves to you, and establishing a claim upon you, that they are objectionable. The man who lends a hand to help you over a pebble eventually demands payment for his services. If you ask a casual lounger who put his eye out-and Egypt is full of on8-,y,,(1 men you have contracted an obligation that can be liquidated only in tho current coin of the realm. The vicinity of the pyramids Is infested with a horde of Bedouins, who. through centuries of occupation, have acquired prescriptive right to assist, or pretend to assist in an infinite variety of ways, the tourists who come to see the sights. One would like to be let alone for a few minutes once in a while to muse and gaze, for It is not necessary here to pump up the requisite amount of sentiment and enthusiasm; but the pleasure of solitude is here impossible. Having engaged the services of a gulda about the pyramid, you find that he has engaged several of his family to assist him. and when every other pretext for dunning you is exhausted you discover that the sheik to whom your guide is a tributary, and several other unclassified sheiks, must also toe reckoned with. These rascals are amusing In their way. They have learned a variety of Jokes and catch-words, , with which they entertain strangers. "You American man?" asked one or them, and, being answered affirmatively, he gleefully said: "Yankee Doodle came to town, and his fourth assistant chanted, "Tara-ra-boom-de-ay, Yankee Doodle!" "You know Mark-et Wain?" asked our guide; and when I said that I knew him well, Horatio, he eagerly said: "Mark-et-Wain. he pays six shillings for to see me run down pyramid and up another pyramid, and so back in eight minutes. I do him for you for five shilling by the watch." And while I was entertaining him with a discourse on the immorality of falsehood, the scamp had actually taken off his slippers and was girding his loins for the pyramidal race. He expressed great disgust at my lack of appreciation of gymnastics. "Man here to-day who guide Mark-et Wain to pyramid and finkies." The Bedouin calls the Sphinx the finkies. Washington and Mark Twaine are the best-known Americans in this region, with Twain far in the lead; and he is a benighted Bedouin who has not heard of "'the Chicago fair," and whose uncles or brothers were not there to "do blziness In Cairo street." .ONE OF MORRISON'S STORIES. He Illustrate n Point by a, Little War Aneedote. ! Washington Post. ' . Last summer when the strike was raging In Chicago, Col. Villiam R. Morrison was approached by as newspaper correspondent and asked as to his views touching federal interference with the strikers. The United States troops had just been ordered to the scene. Colonel Morrison smiled in his quiet way "I don't believe I care to be interviewed about the muss at Chicago," he said. "I'm a good deal in' the fix of a friend of mine during the late war. His name was Bendley. He had lived in my neighborhood for years, was a bachelor and kept house for himself. He had never been suspected of any too much courage and I was a little surprised a day or two before I started South with my regiment when Bendley came over to my (house and Intimated a desire to go aloftg. " 'I don't want to enlist, . Colonel,' he said, 'but I thought I'd like to go along with you personally and sort o' keep camp for you do the cooking and that Bort of thing.' "Finally I told Bendley to come and the next day or so we got off. "Our first fight was at Fort Donelson under Grant. At one time a brigade which included my regiment was ordered to charge a body of rebs who were fortressed on top of a. hill. We got well up to the top when the fire was too galling and we were driven back. I got a bullet in my leg. "The rebs were elated at their repulse of us, and after we had fallen back they charged. They came tearing down the hill, and such was their enthusiasm they went clear through the Yankee lines at the gap made by raking out our brigade. The rebs charged straight through this gap to the rear of Grant's army, and i.ic,dentally they ran all over Bendley, who was back with the wagons, and chased him about and mighty near scared him to death. "No sooner did the rebs find themselves to the rear of Grant than they in turn became terror bitten for fear they might get cut off in the closing up of our lines, and came stampeding back to get possession of their hill again. Bendley was still panting from his first scare when they were atop of him the second time, giving him a worse shaking up than before. i "That night Benaley came over td see me where I lay wounded in a house which had been turned into a hospital. He looked wan and tired and bedraggled as if he'd been having a hurried time. "Just as he was about to depart Bendley stood, irresolute, a moment and then said: " 'I've been thinking things over. Colonel, when I had time, and If you don't care I believe I'll quit and go back to Illinois. " 'What's the matter, Bendley?" I asked. You aren't getting scared, are you? This war looks to me as if it was going to last two or three years yet.' " 'No,' replied Bendley. T ain't scared, but if you don't mind, I reckon I'll go back. "'What's the trouble? I Insisted; "you must have some reason for this change of heart.' " Oh, it's all right,' said Bendley, looking about the room in a vacant, helpless way, it's all right. I like things well enough here. But I've thought It all over. Colonel, and way Grant and Lincoln are managing this thing, I can't make anything out of it. "And, concluded- Colonel Morrison, "that's the way I feel about this strike, and that's the reason I don't care to be interviewed." LINCOLN'S ASSASSINATION. Motive That Is Alleged to HaTe Moved Booth to the Deed. Washington Post. It Is thirty years since John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Lincoln. With all the theoretical stories which have been printed during these past thirty years regarding the motives of Booth's action there is still one which has probably never before been printed. It . is told by one Intimate with Lincoln, and who also knew much about Booth. The story says that the daughter of a Senator, who was prominent here from 1S6J to 1S65, was Infatuated with Booth. Her father soon learned of her infatuation for the actor, and called on the actor and requested him, as a man of the world, to appreciate the circumstances and pay no attention to his daughter's weakness. Booth made the Senator a faithful promise that he would treat the girl's letters with indifference and permit no further relations between them. He kept his promise, and thereby won the hearty friendship and admiration of the Senator. The friendship of the Senator was preserved by Booth, and in the tatter part of 18$4 he made use of it. George Randolph, an actor of some note, who was a friend of Booth, had been condemned as a South-, ern spy. and was to be shot. Randalph made a request of Booth to intercede with the President for his life. Booth went to the Senator and requested him to present him to the President. This the Senator was , only too willing to do. and when Booth I was presented to Lincoln he became so I eloquent in his excited pleading tor the lit

fl IMsiiiag

of his friend, Randolph, that Ne fell down on his knees before the president. Lincoln, always an admirer of Booth, was so impressed with the actor's eloquent pleading that ho granted the request. Th usual process of pardon was Immediately begun, and Booth left the President, rejoicing that the life of his friend had ben spared. But before the pardon reached the condemned man he was shot. When the news of this reached Booth he was so enrageil and excited that he made a vow to be revenxed for what he considered a conspiracy agilnt him. The Idea grew upon his mind, and he In time resolved to take the course which resulted, after many unsuccessful attempts at revenge In other ways. In the assassination of the President. This story, like all the slorlrs published regarding the motives which actuated Booth's rash, deed, Is a theory, given only for what it is worth. That Booth's motive was a secret to himself is .doubtless, and time may never reveal a positive proof of his motive. A MILLION HOI III. ES DISAPPEARED. The Mnn Who Knew About Them Could Only Itnrk Like a Don. Literary Digest. No hero Is more kindly remembered by his people than General SkohHeff, the renowned Russian commander who hoped tu establish the rule of the Slavs over all Europe ling before his death even tho peopls told Innumerable legend of hi bravery and liberality, and now he Is th acknowledged hero of the ittisxlan peasant. The papers aro never tired of repeating anecdotes about him. Now and then om one with authority publishes Incidents of flkobeleff's life, which are not tmly new and strange, but also illustrative of his character nnd of that of his nation. The Istorltschesky Vycstnlk. Moscow, tella a strange story or the absolute disappearance of a million rubles ($5oo,ou0) belonging to the General, Prince Obolensky, who knew Pkobeleff very well, vouches for tha truth of this tale: "Prince OboleiiBky saw Skobelcff very frequently during the last years before his death. The general came to Moscow very often to visit Mr. Morlow, th manager of the government bank. Ivan lllch, as Skobeleff called Morlow, administered the General's funds. In June, 1SS2. Skobeleff was greatly disturbed. He showed Obolensky an article by Mme. Adam which impressed htm very much, and he believed that Russia was on the eve of another Oriental war. But It will cost Immense sums, he added, 'and I must try to prepare myaelf.'- lis was much excited, and began at once to get his money together. Intending to deposit a million with Morlow. He took the matter so seriously than he. would not lend to his best friends, although he was generally very liberal. This was in the beginning of June. Toward the end of the month Prince Obolensky, who knew that the General had managed to raise the desired sum, visited him and found him In very low spirits. Ho would answer lu monosyllables only. 'What alls you, Michael DmitrljewlchV asked the prince. "What ails me? , Well, my money is gone. " 'What money? Has anyone stolen your purse?' " 'Bother my purse. My million has vanished absolutely. I cannot obtain the slightest trace of it anywhere.' "The prince thought his friend demented. That such a sum should be lost seemed to him Impossible. . " 'As you know,' continued Skobelef., 'Ivan Ilich (Morlow) has gathered all my funds and sold all my grain, and now ha is crazy. I have asked him more than once what became of my capital, and each time he crawls under - the table and barks like a dog. His mind is gone completely.' " 'Why don't you inform the banks? " 'I have done so, but there is no trace of the money.' "The general evidently tried to drown his sorrow in liquor. When Prince Obolensky suggested that some of Morlow's employes had stolen the money he shook his head. Nevertheless, a few weeks after the death of the general a lackey was arrested for trying to sell a portrolb containing soma of Skobeleffs correspondence. The fellow had been in Morlow's service. Skobeleff would never attend to the matter or investigate it properly. 'Leave me alone,' he said, 'I have only two more years to live and wish to pass them as pleasantly as I can.' He was dead two days after. Morlow died ten years later in a madhouse, but the secret of Skobeleff's lost million could never be obtained from him. and the money remains undiscovered to the present day." About the Cuckoo. Washington Post. Mrs. Olive Thome Miller comes tp the defense of the cuckoo, saying, among otner things: ,, . "The American cuckoo, unlike his Liiallsh cousin, builds his own nest, and is a most devoted parent. These dim-colored birds with white stomachs are numerous here in. summer. When the male bird is courting he makes a profound bow to the mate and then opens his mouth as wide as possible, as if about to emit a loud cry, but only the feeblest of 'coos' can be heard," We fear that Mrs. Miller Is not as well informed as she should be touching tho habits and peculiarities of tbe cuckoo. Our observation persuades us that the cuckoo, when he is "courting" whether favor or fiatronage, or only recognition be the object n view not only makes a low bow but gets clear, down on that white stomach of his and writhes and grovels there until it turns "dim-colored," like the rest of him. It la true, we believe, that the cuckoo "onens his mouth as wide as possible, as if about to emit a loud cry," and that when the noise at last materializes it is only a feeble little chirp or coo; but Mrs. Miller gives us no idea of the frequency with which tha cuckoo mouth is opened, or ofthe almost unbroken procession of chirps which issue from the orifice. The writer has evidently not kept pace with the cuckoo evolution of the past two years. She has evidently never enjoyed the privilege of studying the bird in its most advanced stage or development. Mrs. Miller should have visited Washington last summer and mads specimens of Bourke Cockran, Isidor Straus. De Witt Warner, Charles Tracey . and ii. few others we could name. She might not have been able to tell the color of their stomachs, but she would have known much, more about theireal nature of the cuckoo. An Incisive Analysis of Cleveland. Rochester Post-Express (Ind.) - '' ' 1 Mr. Cleveland, as we understand him, is distinctly a man of words, not acts. He is the most cunning of all American politicians in the matter of choosing a campaign isaue; and in the matter of controlling. con' ventions and securing votes from all manner of incongruous elements he is easily the greatest of all our many demagogues. But ho never accomplishes anything in the way of statesmanship, and no man intrusted with leadership and power ever made so poor a record In deeds or so big a record in professions. He is not responsible for a single act of the slightest importance in. the state or In the Nation. And after ha has won an election on a "great reform." he takes no further interest In it, and looks around fey another available fake. He was elected on "civil-service reform" in. 1881; and it took no step beyond the lolnt where Preaident Arthur left it. He ran on "tariff reform" In 1838 and in 1892: and "tariff reform," after causing no end of party turmoil and business disaster, 's abandoned in the ditch. Ahd now Mr. Cleveland, in his usual cloudy style, pronoses as an Issue for 1896 "currency reform." ' Or.
