"Defender has conclusive, ly ihown In her races with the Vigilant tr.at she Is not all wron" "Then you believe we shall wlnT "I am sure of It." In any kind of weather?" In any kind of weather." "Will it be three straight?" Without an Instant's hesitation, and In the gravest Judicial tone, came the answer: It will be three straight." Designer Watson, of the Valkyrie, sail to-day to a reporter: "I am Kotng down to the race to-morrow expecting to lose." lie said this seriously, but neither he nor any other of the Valkyrie people looked very-downcast. On the announcement of the time allowance to-night, the bettlnjr altered somewhat and went to even money. Forecaster Dunn has Issued the following: The weather indication. at midnight are: Fair, with lljfht to rrik southeasterly winds, with th2 sea running rather hi;rh. The ob eervers at I-onsr Ilranch. Ulock Island and Sandy Hook report. wind varying from ten to twenty miles an hour, w!th a hljrh sea. It !s likely tht the wind during the race will vary from twelve to sixteen miles an hour." in an Informal statement he says: "The weather Is likely to be partly cloudy, with possibly a light shower or two. but r.ot sufficient to spoil the day and prevent the race. The wind will be from an easterly dirctin. shifting from northeast to outheast."

PltKVIOlS HACKS. The Various Content for the Amertrmm Cwp, and How They nmalleil. NEW YOniC, Sept. 6. The tale of the America's cup has been many times told, but It never lose Interest. There are many . details Jn the yarn that must ever absorb the attention of the patriot, as well as that of the yachtsman. From ihe very birth of the trophy, so to speak, there have been brought a series of exciting Incidents and episodes In the. history of. the most widelyknown of all the International emblems that belong to sport, and these are pointed out briefly below: It was durlns the year 1851 that the chooner-yacht America went to Europe and won the cup which has ever since borne the name of that vcrml. The Marpf fm'.ldlns the boat was conceived by Comnmdqra John C. Steven., of the New Yw4-!hH,ehT-believed that there were may trophies and aide bets to be gathered In'on'the other side of the ocean, and that George Steers, of Williamsburg, who had already achieved a fine reputation as the builder of pilot boats, was the man to design and ?jt together the needed yachts. Commodore Stevens confuted with the other members of the club, and a syndicate was formed to build the boat. In the syndicate with the Commodore were Messrs. Hamilton Wilkes. Georce L. Schuyler, James Hamilton and J. D. Finley. While the vessel was In the course of construetlon-that was in March, 18',1. the Royal Yacht Squadron, whose meaibers had heard what was being done, sent a communication to Commodore Stevens, offering hospitalities to the New Yorkers, and Indicating that the Yankees could find all the racing" they wanted If they had the nerve to bring their boat across the water. The nerve was not lacking, and the yacht, which had been named America, left New York In the early part of July. 1831. for cowes. hngland. by the way of Havre France, which latter port she made In twenty-one days. She was commanded by P1 Brown' ca famus Sandy Hook pilot, and designer Steers sailed in her across the - ', ,8U" vuniuLR, anoiner weiiknown pilot, was first mate of the yacht commodore Stevens Joined the vessel at X 1 & v r vnen xne America first appeared before the gaze of the KnuUshmen she created surprise, jsothlng like her had ever been seen ftr,ndfherrled n,her jibboom nor ioretopmaal. hen under way her nails set flat and stiff, while it was the Idea of the hnsllsh yachtsman that a sail should f somewhat, in order to obtain the full K??fl.tuoC 'i1 wnd- Kut in a brush or two that the visitors had with the yachts In their own waters the Yankee showed great peed, and it quickly became known that the new arrival was a racer to be feared. wUJi. ,.he ye2r of th Crystal Palace worlds ralr, and an international regatta X JhSJii1?1.? ? Eart of tho exhibition. iA li.1 1laie,l- .hwver. that Commo-Jn-i"" nad betr tried, without uccess. to arrange a private match. THE AMERICA'S VICTORY. The regatta took place on Aug. 22, and the. prize was the Rjyal Squadron cup, worth 100 guineas. The course wan from Coea round the Isle of Wight, without time allowance for tonnage. The America had fourteen competitors, several of them being of greater tonnage than herself. These were the Duke of Marlboro's schooner Wyvern, 205 tons; Marquis of Conyngham's schooner Constance. 21S tons; Mr. J. Wild's cutter Alarm. 193 tons, and Mr. o! II. Ackers'? three-masted schooner Urilliant. 132 tons. The America measured 170 tons. It seems strange, to think of It, but It is a fart that the Americans entered that regatta only with reluctance. The only thing to win was the cup. and they wanted to make money enough to pay at least a part of the cost of building the yacht and taking her across. They Hunted high and low for bets, but failed to, discover a single sport who would wager enough to make It worth while. It Is said that all they won on the race was a flying Jib-boom and a et of sails, the coat of which they bet with the makers that the America could beat any other boat namd. Sir W. P. Carow's 161-ton schooner. Beatrice, was named. By the way. the flying Jib-boom was carried away with the race. The regatta with the America In it created the liveliest enthusiasm. Queen ),Mctorla and the Frlnce Consort shared in the excitement and went o Cowes to witness the event. And right here belongs a touching little story, which has been repeated so majiy times that It must be true. The America) beat the whote-fleet of English racer easy enough, and when. she. came In no other yacht was In slant from' the position that her Majesty had taken to see the finish. When the victorious America hove In sight the Queen turned to her attendant an4 inquired: "Who wins it T "T.h Am'J,c. your MJt7,M replied the Lord C himberlaln. "And who is second?" continued the Queen, trying to conceal her chagrin. "Alts, your MiJcity.M the Chamberlain replied, with tears in his eyes, "there is no second." The America beat Mr. T. L. Merchant's forty-seven-ton cutter. Aurora, the serond boat in, by twenty-four minutes, while the others, as the hor?e-raclng people say. were all strung out. The Americt afterward ailed In a match with the one-hundred-ton schooner'Tltsnla In a strong -'breeze, and heat her by more than an hour. Commodore Stevens ejuld not Induce anybody el.e to meet him. and he finally sold the yacht to Lord De BUnquiert for $T.(M. under whose management she afterward raced the eighty-four-ton cutter Arrow twke. losing once and then winning. The yacht remained In England until 1SCI. changing ownership everal times, and was then ol4 to a Southerner, who converted her Into a blockade runner. While In this business she ran up the St. John river in Florida to escape the United States frigate Wabash, and was fcuttled there. After the war the government raised her and made a school uhlp of her for the cadets at Annapolis. When the Cambria challenged for the cup. In 1S70. the Navy Department fitted the yacht cut for competition, but she finished no better than fourth, os will be toll later. The eld boat finally passed Into the hinds of Gen. B. F. Hutler, of MnMchu$ett$, and Is still owned by the late General's son. In 1SS7 Mer. Stevens. Schuvler and Wilkes, of the syndicate that built the America, presented the cup won In 11 to the New York Y:cht Club. In whose hands It has lnce remained as a trophy, for which any country may challenge. THE MAGIC WINS. It waa not until 1870. however, that a challenge was received. Thn It came from Mr. James Ashbury. of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, the owner of tho schooner Cambria. Preliminaries having been arranged after much correspondence the race came , oft In New York harbor on Aug. 8. Yachting was always a favorite sport In' New York and the international feature of the event, the first trial of the kind that had been seen on this side of the water, made great excitement, and a grand fleet of vessels entered for the race. There was also a great number of ercurslow boats In the battlcnell and the spectators were treated to a scene that had never met their vtiion before, but which was to tx many times enhanced In magnitude' in years to ccme. The start was made .rem anchorage, with all sail down, the f ambrta having received th weather position out of courtesy. Next to her was the America, manned by naval officers and. tars. The lat1 M.

ter was the last of the fleet to get under way. The others were the keel schooners Fleetwlng. iJauntless, Restless, Kambler, Alarm and the Tarolints, and the centerhoarders Tidal Wave, Sllvle, Magic, Phantom, Madeline, Idler, Maggie, Jessie, Halcyon, Widgeon, . Calypso, Josephine, Era. Fleur De Us, Alice and Palmer. The Magic was the first away on the Journey, and she led over the entire course. The Idler was second, the Silvie third, the America fourth and the Cambria tenth. In corrected time. The Magic beat the Cambria by thirty-nine minutes, twelve seconds and the America was thirteen minutes, forty-seven seconds better than the English yacht. Mr. Ashbury was undaunted by his defeat, however, and challenged the next year with a new boat, which he had built at Cowes for the purpose. The Englishman showed that he was a good hand at writing letters and demanding concessions in this match. First, he claimed to represent twelve different clubs and called for twelve races. If he won any one of them he was to get the cup. The New Yorkers could hardly yield this point, but agreed to sail twelve races, the winner of seven to be the victor In the match. Ashbury finally consented to a match of seven races. One Important thing was conceded to him, however. This wa that the club should present but one yacht to meet the Livonia instead of a whole fleet, as heretofore. Mr. Ashbury also objected to racing against a center board, but bis objection waa not entertained. The races began on Oct. 15 and were alternately over the regular N. Y. Y. C. or "inside" course and twenty miles to windward or leeward and return from the Sandy Hook lightship. The triangular course had not been tried In those days. On the first day the wind was light and the Columbia was chofen to sail, the committee having reserved the right to name any one yacht on each day of a race. The Hrltlsher was "never In It" and the Columbia won by thirty-five minutes twenty-eight seconds. On the second day the Columbia was again picked and she won by ten minutes thirty-three seconds. Mr. Ashbury protested the race on the ground that the Columbia rounded the mark on the. wrong hand, but the committee decided that the rules p rmltted the boats to round either way. The Dauntless was to have sailed on the third day, but, while preparing for the start, some of her headgear carried away, and . the Columbia was hurriedly gotten ready to take her place. Pefore the day was over the Columbia lost the use of her flying Jib and her steering gear gave away. The Livonia won by fifteen minutes ten seconds. Two more races were carried out. the Sappho being the American representative and winner of both, the first (or fourth of the series) by thirty minutes twenty-one seconds, and the second bv twenty-five minutes twenty-seven seconds. The last, or fifth of the match, made four victories, a majority of seven, for the New York boats, but Mr. Ashbury demanded that the other two should be sailed. His letter to the committee was couched In dogmatic terms, but met with no reply. Then the challenger claimed the cup. He argued In vehement style that he was entitled to four of the seven races, thus: One when the Columbia turned the outer mark on the wrong hand: two. when he did beat the Columbia: three and four, when he was ready to sail the sixth and seventh races and the New York Yacht Club put forth no competitor. But he never got the cup. CANADIAN .YACHTS DEFEATED. A lapse of four years took place before the cup waa next raced for. In 1876, Centennial ( year, MaJ. Charles Glfford, vice commodore of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, headed' a syndicate which built the schooner Countess of Dufferln, at Belleville, Ont., and Bent her to New York In charge of Capt. Alexander Cvithbert, who designed her and owned a large part of her, after having obtained a promise from the New York Yacht Club that they would offer but ona defender In a match of best two out of three races. Commodore Voorhles's schooner Madeline was defender. Only two races were necaasary. The Madeline won first on Aug. 11, over the "Inside" course, by ten minutes fifty-nine seconds, and the second over a windward and leeward course of forty miles from buoy No. 5. off the point of Sandy Hook, by twentyseven minutes fourteen seconds. In this second race the America went over the course with the racers and beat the Canadian boat by nineteen minutes five seconds. The Candlans made another attempt to capture the cup In 1881, when the Bay of Qulnte Yacht Club, of Belleville, challenged with a centerboard sloop called the Atalanta. which was also built and sailed by Captain Cuthbert. This was not only the first' race for the cup by sloops, but there were also held for th first time a series of trial racea to determine who should defend It. The Hlldegarde. Mischief. Oracle and Pocihontas participated In these, the last mentioned being built for' the puirose. The Mischief, owned by J. R. Rusk, was selected, and on November 9 she defeated the Atalanta by twentyeight minutes nineteen seconds, over the "Inside" course. Tho Grade went "over the ground, too. and beat the Mischief by eleven minutes twenty-threo seconds. On the second day. over the leeward and windward course, from buoy No. 5, the Canadian was worsted by the Mischief to the extent of thirty-eight minutes fifty-four seconds. The Grade was five minutes thirty-eight seconds behind Mischief. We now come to the first match In which the American yacht was really pushed by a challenger. It was Sir Richard Sutton's cutter Genesta, designed by J. BeaverWebb, that gave our yachtsmen a scare, but that very fast vessel met one a little Taster, and the cup was still safe. It was In 1SSS that she came over from England and met the Puritan, a Boston boat, which was designed by the late Edward Burgess, who waa then only known as architect of small boats. The Puritan, however, served to make Burgess famous the world over as a model maker, and she also was the means of Introducing Into yachting history one of the most liberal and gentlemanly and courageous sporting men whoso name ever adorned Its pages Gen. C. J. Paine. He and Mr. J. Malcom Forbes, another Bostonlan. who has since done much for yachting, were the principal members ot the syndicate that built the Puritan. 'Meantime, the iron-clad PrlscMa was constructed on plans laid out by Cary Smith, the popular New York designer, and paid for with New York money, and the new boats went in the trial races with the Grade and the Bedouin, the latter being an out-and-out cutter from designs by John Harvey, an out-and-out Englishman. The Puritan and Prlscllla were the largest sloops that had ever been built In America The former had a load water line length of eighty-one feet one Inch and the latter one of eighty-three feet three Inches, so constructed to meet the eighty-one feet of the Genesta. There were three trial races, and the new boats had them all to themselves. The Prlscllla won one, but the Puritan defeated her twice and was selected to defend the cup. The Purltan-Genesta match consisted of hest two out of three, nnd waa a veritable test of the center-board sloop against the deep-keeled cutter. Th first date was Sept. 7. the same as this year; but after the yacht started it was seen that there would not be enough wind to carry them over the course of twenty miles to windward and return from the Scotland lightship within the time limit, and the event was called off. On the next day the Purltan fouled the Genesta at the start and snapped the cutter's bowsprit off. The committee promptly nnd properly ruled the Iuritan out. and informed Sir Richard Sutton that he had the privilege of sailing over the course alone. Sir Richard refured to do this, saying that ho wanted a race, and not a walkover, by which sportsmanlike decision he made warm admirers. On Sept. 11 they made a third attempt, but were again frustrated by a dropping of the wind. On Sept. 14 they sailed over the New York Yacht Club course, from Owl's heal. Bayrilfte. Long Island, out around the Sandy Hook lightship and back, a distance of about thirty-eight nautical miles. Th Puritan won by sixteen minutes; nineterii seconds, after allowing Genesta twenty-live seconds. The Genesta sprung the cai of her mast. on this day. Ik was on Sept. IS that the Gensta gate the New Yorkers a fight. The race was twenty miles down the wind ami a beat tack. A good fresh wind was blowing at the start, and It Increased so much that til PurVan hd to take In her club toptnil before she got home. The cutter beat the centerboard 1 minute 21 seconds on the run out. and on the bent bick the Burgess boat, splerrdldly handled by Catrtatn Joe Ellsworth, of Bayonne. N. J., just managed to cross the line 1 minute 3S seconds ahead, corrected time. The Genesta won the Brenton's Reef and Cape May cupa from the s. hooner Dauntless before she returned to England. MAYFLOWER DEFEATS GALATEA. In the Boston people built the Mayflower, and Ir. her Mr. Burgess turned out even a better sloop than the Puritan. The cutter Galatea, owned by Lieutenant William Henn, R. N.. and designed by Reaver-Webb, was the challenger, and she had her turn at being beaten in two straight races. The trial races In 1SS5 were contested by the Mayflower, Puritan. Triscllla (which had been improved since ISSo). and the Atalanta, a floop designed by Phil Ellsworth, Joe's brother, and paid for by a.

arty of Brooklyn and New York cap!talsts. The Mayflower was easilv the ben of the quarte-t. and she successfully defended the cup. On Sept. 7 again, over the Ins;d course, she deieatM the Galatea by 12 minutes 2 seconds, and two days later. In

the open, twenty miles to windward and return, from Scotland lightship, the Burgess creation von by & minutes 9 seconds. The Scotch steel cutter Thistle was the next challenger to take a walloping. She waa design! by George L. Watson, of Glasgow, who has drawn the lines of all the recent hunters of the cup. Vice Admiral James B. Bell, of .the Royal Clyde Yacht Club, organized a syndicate that furnished the funds. The size of the challengers had been gradually increasing, and the Thlrtle ha1 a long water line of ?0.46 feet. Her building was carried on with the greatest possible secrecy, and after being launched on the Clyde defeated the Genesta and Inez in home waters by a good margin. Her owners were very confident when they smt their ship over the Atlantic, In 1SS7. General Paine authorized Mr. Burgess to turn out a boat that would outsail tho Mayflower. If - possible, and the now great naval architect gave his attention to producing that result. He succeeded, as usual, and gave us the Volunteer, which proved to be a wonder In windward work, and but a single trial race with the Mayflower waa needed to show the new boat' superiority. It was the same o'.d "two straight," notwithstanding the certainty with wh'.ch the Scotchmen entered the contest. There was, it may be said Incidentally, more money wagered on this race than any previous one. Well, on the Inside course, on rk'pt. 27. the Volunteer won by ID minutes 23 seconds, and two days later the positive Scotchmen, In a twenty mile to windward and return race, In the open, were thrashed by a good two miles, or 11 minutes 49 seconds. In 1SJO the Earl of Dunraven. through Secretary Richard Grant, of the Royal Yacht Squadron, began negotiations for a match, but the two sides could not come together on terms, and the proceedings fell through. Two years ago, however. Lord Dunraven built another yacht on Watson lines, which was the second of the name Valkyrie, and brought her over after the cup, having come to a thoroughly amicable understanding about sailing regulations with the committee. The events of im aro within easy recollection and memorable will they always be. Everybody 'remembers how four big single stickers were built to compete for the honor of defending the cup. Of course General Paine was at the. front, with the Jubilee, a boat that had bad luck w'th her rigging from the very start of, her career. One New York syndicate, headed by Mr. Archlball Rogers, including the Vanlerbllts, F. A. Schermerhorn, John E. Brooks and J. Tierpont Morgan, produced the Colonla. Another body of New York yachtsmen, including Mr. C. C.Isalln. Commodore Ed Morgan, the Belmonts and others, chipped in to build the Vigilant. The Colonla was a keel boat, made of steel. The Vigilant was a centerboarder. made of Tobln bronze below the water-line, and steel above. These two were designed by the HerreFhoffs, at Bristol. R. I., a firm which had sprung Into promlnince through the performance of the Wapp and Gloriana. smaller bonts. The fourth candidate came from Boston, and was called the Pilgrim. She was of the ballast type, and was ownc by the Messrs. Adams. Mr. E. Suydam Palmer and others. Everybody remembers, too. that the Vigilant was selected to defend the cup, after several glorious trials, and that she beat Valkyrie II three straight races. The last one was. however, very close. In fact it was only the second really exciting race that ever took place for the cup. the Puri-tan-Genesta event, above described, being the other. . The series of five races began on Oct. 5. but there were a couple of "no wind" days, before the match was completed. The first race won by the Vigilant was fifteen miles to windward and return, when she was victorious by five minutes and forty-eight seconds. The second was triangular, and the margin ten minutes and thirty-five seconds. The third and decisive contest on Oct. 13, was a beat down the Long island coast and a run home in a strong wind. The Valkyrie rounded the outer mark one minute and fifty-five seconds ahead of the . Vigilant. On the run before the wind the Vigilant managed to overhaul the cutter, and finally won by a small difference of forty seconds, the America having had to allow Valkyrie one minute and thirty-eight eeconds. Owners of Stenmers Warned. WASHINGTON, Sept. General Drumont, supervising Inspector-general of steam vessels, has sent the following cautionary telegram to the agents of the steamers Richard Pack and the City of Lowell, who. It Is stated, have arranged a race between tho vessels In New York harbor to-morrow: "Hope newspaper report Is untrue that the Richard Peck will have a competitive trial of speed with the City of - Lowell going and returning from the yacht races to-morrow. If true it will be a very dangerous proceeding, crowded as the bay and harbor' will bo with other excursion steamers. Attention Is called to the provision of Section 5544. Revised Statutes, which will be enforced If an accident should occur because of such competitive speed test." If Valkyrie Does Not Win. LONDON, Sept. 7. Tho Chronicle ays this morning: "If Valkyrie III does not hoist the winning flag to-day or on Tuesday we shall probably never build a yacht that will do as well In the dry air of American waters as In the moist winds of Albion. Yet wo may be sure that the ivalry now established will not die."

BOOT TILLED WITH MONEY. Lucky Find of n Kentncklan In an Old Lor House RICHMOND) Ky., Sept. 6. In tearing down an old log house near te southern end of this county Henry Burton found an old boot, In which was carefully hidden away &600 in old State bank notes and PCO In gold. Several of the gold coins were dated 1S10. and the notes were Issued by banks that quit business about the beginning of the war. Burton paid $T0 for the lumber In the house, and when he saw the gold ho discharged the men helping him and completed the job alone. It is supposed that the money was hidden during the war when Morgan and his men were raiding through this section. OBITUARY. , William Henry Hnrlbut, a WellKnown Ex-errspnper 3Ion. CADENABBIA, Italy, Sept. 6. William Henry Hurlbut is dead. William . Henry Hurlbut was horn in Charleston, S. C, July 3, 1S27, was graduated at Harvard in 1847. at the Divlrlty School there In 1849, and then stuJled in Rome, Berlin and Paris.' After a few years in the Unitarian ministry, he entered Harvard Law School In 1832. In 3ift5 he was a writer on Putnam's Magazine and Joined the staff of tho New York Times In. 1&7. While visiting the South, in JS61, he was arrested by a vigilance committee in Atl&nia, imprisoned for a time nnd then released, but he was refused a passport, except upon conditions with which he would not comply, and finally. In August, 1S2, made his escape- through, the confederate lines and reached Wahinton. He became connected with the New York World in 1STi2. and In 181 purchased the Commercial Advertiser, intending to publish it us a free-trade paper, out ha and his associates falling to agree, the paper was sold to Thurlow Weed. He went to Mexico in 1'6, and was Invited to the capital by Maximilian. He represented the New York World at tho world's fair at Paris, in 18t'7, and the Century Festival of St. Peter at Rome, and in 1S71 accompanied the United States expedition to Santo Domingo, during which time he published a very complete history of that island. In 1S76-S3 no was editor in chief of the World, and in the latter year, when Joseph Tulltrer bought the World, he went to Europe, where he has since chiefly resided. He has contributed largely to American and British periodicals, and has published several works besides hymns and "poems. Mr. Hurlbut figured In nn unpleasant way a few years ago in a suit brought against him by a young woman named Gladys Evelyn, of London. The defendant won. claiming that the deceiver In the case was not himself, but his secretary. Wilfred Murray. The plaintiff held that Murray was only a myth. Tho case created a great sensation in England, and since that event Mr. Hurlbut has lived most of the time in Italy with his wife, who did not credit the story of Gladys Evelyn.

A BLOODY DAY'S WORK

JAMES WARD SLAYS TWO tXSUSPECTI5G RELATIVES WITH AS AX. The Murderer then (Joes to a Field and Commits Suicide Lone-Separated Couple United. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBURN, Ind., Sept. 6. This morning at an early hour,, one of the most coldblooded tragedies that has ever occured within the borders of Sullivan county took place at Hymera, five and a half miles southeast of here. James Ward, living near Hymera, Induced his iather-In-law, John Hunter, to go out coon hunting at 4 o'clock this morning.1 While In a thick cluster of trees and underbrush In a hollow on the farm of James Mahan, about a mile from Hunter's home, Ward knocked Hunter down and completely severed his head from his body with an ax, leaving the head about four feet distant from the body. Ward then returned to the Hunter house and called out of bed Hunter3 son, a boy of fifteen, pretending that he wanted him to go to the woods and help cut down a coon tree. While the boy's sister was lighting the lamp the boy started to go out into the yard and Ward dealt him a terrible blow with the ax, which knocked the boy down. Then Ward used the blade of the ax on the top part of the head, leaving an ugly gash, gutting a piece from the boy's skull. After lingering several hours In an unconscious condition the boy died at 1 o'clock this afternoon. After murdering the boy Ward told the boy's sister that If she would come out Into the yard he would kill her also. She, however, remained In the house and saved her life. After Ward had killed the Hunter boy he ordered his wife, who was a Miss Hunter, to get out of bed, put on her clothes and accompany him to a place a mile and a half from where the tragedy occurred. While on tho road thither ho called up Mr. BrecketC telling him that he had one more man to kill before he was ready to die, and demanding of Mr. Breckett to go with him, which Mr. Breckett refused to do. On being refused by Mr. Breckett, he led his wife along tho road to tho side of a corn field, where he left her standing, telling' her ho would never see his father and mother any more. Entering the corn field he shot himself in the neck, inflicting a mortal wound. The coroner had not arrived up to 11 o'clock to-day and tho body of Ward was still lying on It's back In the corn field with a revolver on each side , of his head. Tne tragedy is supposed to be tho result of a family feud. It is said, that Ward has twice been an inmate in an asylum. A dispatch from Sullivan says: Ward had married Hunter's daughter contrary to her father's wishes. Before the marriage Hunter and his daughter lived together. The o'ld man having been divorced from his wife, left the home where he and his family had resided, and moved Into a small cabin on the other end of his farm; Ward and his wife.. living with the divorced wife, and with them John Hunter, his brother-in-law, boarded. Last night, about 11 o'clock, Ward and Aaron Hunter were in town and seemed to have made up all old differences.. Ward prevailed upon the old man to go to the woods coon hunting, and there committed the murder. THE DESPERATE DEFENSE, Prominent Democrats Implicated In Tipton s Tolly-Sheet Forgeries. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TIPTON. Ind.," SepL. 6.-The tally-sheet forgery cases are exMtlhij'. intenso feeling with the public, . andthev6fehse is becoming desperate. The attorneys for the defense resorted to all kinds of tactics In securing delays. They have exhausted the patience of the public, and the people are domandlng that tho matter be disposed of In some way. This morning Judge Stephenson promptly overruled the motion for u new trial on the p'.ea In abatement, whereupon the defense Immediately filed an affidavit charging the sheriff and deputy sheriff with fraudulently veniring a grand Jury for the purpose of securing an Indictment against Monroo Hooverr .r They preferred serious charges In their argument against the deputy sheriff, claiming, that he Is sllil conniving to empanel a jury that will convlot. The State's attorneys argued that the sheriffs were completely, vindicated and exhonorated Jn the verdict on the plea in abatement. The defense asked that tihe oificcrs named be relieved from empaneling a Jury, and tbat D. M. Klrkwood, the coroner, be appointed to perform that duty. The Judge took the affidavit under advisement, at:d will render" his decision next week. The State then asked that the case be set for trial, and after the defense had offered objections 1he Judge set Monday, Sept. SO, when the accused tally-sheet forger must appear In court. There has been a turn In affairs on tho part of tho defense. The Democratic gang that Is Interested in the defense care little for Monroe Hoover, the man resting under indictment, for the reason that In his previous testimony he stated that he voted for a portion of the Republican ticket at the November election. For this offense they threaten to read him out of the party, but they are compelled to defend him and prevent the case from coming to trial for fear of exposures that will be made in the trial that will Implicate his confederates and cause the arrest and conviction of those who concocted the plot to alter the tally-sheets. Some of them occupy very prominent 'places, and when the oases come to trial, there will be several sensations In store for the public. Desperate efforts will be made by the defense to prevent the case coming to trial on the day set by the court. , AFTER FORTY YEARS. Diamond Rlnjc Reunites Tlnaband nnd Wife After Lonff Separation.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . WABASH, Ind., Sept. 6. The funeral of Judson J. Lukens, County Commissioner, whose death occurred under . mysterious circumstances, took place at Roann to-day and was largely attended. The theory that he was assaulted by robbers in the Wayne Hotel, at Detroit, does not gain so much credence and the impression now prevails that death either resulted from suicido or from natural causes. In a telegram to the Wabash Plain Dealer, this afternoon. Manager Hoges, of the Wayne, denies that any assault was committed on Lukens at the Wayne and declares that he had the best of care while there. He thinks he had what appeared to be typhoid fever.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELWOOD. Ind., Sept. 6. The Foresters of this city are breathing easy this morning over the fact that Dr. Thomas A. Cox did not arrive last night to put In his claim for the insurance money on the life of his nephew.. In. his letter he stated that he would be here and ready to face all charges against him whenever he could be insured a speedy trial, as his physical condition would not admit of confinement in Jail. Had he returned yesterday evening or last night It would have been a decided surprise to the majority, and yet there were many who thought he would make good his promise. He evidently realized that if he came and demanded the Insurance money he would only set the ball rolling and bring fresh troubles on himself, and so decided to postpone the date of his return to this city until later, as he evidently does not court any further investigation of the Myers mystery. - ii i w Surprised the House-Brealcers.

Another Story of the Theft of the Body of Millionaire Stewart. Blnghamton Special to New York Press. A peculiar story regarding the robbery of the tomb of A. T. Stewart and the disposal of the body has Just comedo light through the death of a farmer here. On the nirht of Nov. 6, 1878. the body of A. T. Stewart was atolen from the family vault in St. Mark's Church. The casket was broken open, and the decomposition of the remains was so offensive that the day after the robbery a person standing In the door of the tomb would be nearly overcome by the fearful odors. This, it was thought, would make it impossible to conceal the remains for any length of time, but the robbers succeeded in keeping their secret. The work was said to be that of a famous Baltimore "resurrectionist," whose photograph was Identified by a woman living near St. Mark's as that of a man she had seen around the tomb about 1 o'clock on the morning the robbery was committed. This failed to reveal any trace of the body, however, and Judge Hilton, who had charge of the Stewart estate, offered $50,000 for the return of the body or $10,000 for the conviction of any of the participants. On the hills between Wlnsor and Susci'iehanna, a short distance from Blnghamton. there resided until, a short time ago a farmer named Mixon. One evening in November, 1878, a young man, well dressed, knocked at the farmhouse door and asked for lodging. He said that he was a Western farmer, but, meeting with poor success, had come East in searcn of .work. He waa engaged by Mixon. ! He gave his name as Thomas Forrester, and for a young man was considered by the neighbors as strangely reticent. Every day, rain or shine, through snow or mud, he would make his way to the postofflce, and ask for mall, but no mall came. In December, while vlsltlngr a remote corner of his farm one afternoon. Mixon came upon his hired man, filling in a hole. In response to an Inquiry Forrester said he had met a skunk the evening before, and was burying his clothes. In the spring of 1830 Forrester was taken seriously 111 with pneumonia. On his deathbed he unfolded a remarkable tale. His name was not Forrester, but McCarthy, and his residence was in New York city. He waa e member of the gang that removed Stewart's body from the vault. The plot, according to his story, tras hatched in the rooms of a fashionable New York club. One evening a party of young men, sons of wealthy parents, but whose losses at the gaming table had left them penniless, were discussing the situation, when one of the party suggested If they had Stewart's money they would be all right. Another replied: "We haven't his money, but we can get his body, which would mean the same thing." Thus the robbery w as originated. The young men delegated one of their number to superintend the robbery and plan the details, lie at once opened negotiations with a "resurrectionist," who agreed to make the attempt for $10,000, .his helpers to receive $1,000 each. McCarthy was one of tho helpers and watched outside the railing with a horse and buggy in order to give an alarm should any one approach. Tho men carried their grewsome burden in a sack. In hoisting it over the fence the bag caught on thei iron rail and was slightly torn. The odOr which emanated from it was so fearful that two of the men were taken violently ill. The bundle was thrust Into the wagon and taken to a point on Canal street. Here It was carried Into a basement and thrust into a barrel of "pickle" that had been prepared for It, with a view to killing the stench. The barrel was headed up, labeled "fish." and given in charge of McCarthy to take Into the country. The label, it was thought, would allay, any suspicions should any odor escape. McCarthy raw the barrel shipied to Susquehanna, and then he followed on the train. After securing his position with Mixon he procured a team and conveyed the barrel and Its contents to the farm, where he dug a hole and buried It pending negotiations for Its delivery. This was the work he was engaged in when discovered by Mixon. Tho number implicated in the plot necessitated a large reward, and It was for this conspirators waited until they were convinced that they could not obtain the money without publicity and probably prosecution. Thus the matter was dropped for a time, and McCarthy thought tho projectors were glad to be rid of a scheme that had become so notorious. McCarthy Insisted the remains were still in the barrel, and were the genuine article. Mixon who. from his retired life, knew nothing of the robbery and little of the world anyway, set down the statement as the vagaries of a dying man and paid no more attention to it. A short time before he died he related the Incident as a reminiscence. Prtet i'nfrocked.' PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 6.-Archb!shop William H.

Senator Voorhees said that Debs Is fufferinsr a penalty that the Constitution docs not warraj.,and that Judge Woods's decision wll e as odious as th? Dred Scott decision. remember that the Dred Scott dec'"' ad a no more earnest defender th w. Voorhees, who was ha bitter a such persons as questlonei the c?ns .jnality of that d.clion as ho now Is aK-dnst Judge Woods's. We remember, also, that when Mr. Lincoln called for troops D. W. Voorhees declared publicly that there was no warrant In the Constitution for the call. We remember that this Identical Voorhees declared ihe war for national unity unconstitutional. He declared emancipation unconstitutional. H denounced the fourteenth and fifteenth, amendments unconstitutional also. If there Is any Just act on record that the Hon. Mr. Voorhees. has not pronounced hostile to the Democratic party, and therefore violative of the Constitution. we. do not just at this moment call it to mind. The Senator on the Labor-lay occasion most vigorously denounced th? decision cf the Supreme Court In the Indiana tax case as an unconstitutional decision. Under tho circumstances, perhaps, the President could save the Supreme Court from uter desuetude by appointing" the great expounder of the Constitution, Daniel W. Voorhees. to fill the vacancy on that bench. We may nat have heard that the Senator Is much of a. lawyer from anybody but hinuelf. but th greatest of all modern discoveries have been of Individual greatness by the individual himself. The number of men who have discovered, and have revealed to the gaping world, the alleged fact that they were statesmen U very considerable. They nre like the Job-lot surgeon, who published a. paper devoted to sounding his own trumpet, and who had the candor to adopt at Ita head the motto: "Whoso bloweth not his own horn for him his horn shall r.ot b9 blowed." We believe that surgeon did very well, and, eminent as Senator Voorhees may be as a Constitution expounder, ha might get a pointer from that candid person. Where the Credit Ilelonva. ; New York Commercial Advertiser. In a recent interview Mr. John M. Holme, of the Boston Herald, is made to say that in New Kngtand William C. Whitney 4,ls regarded as the lather of the American navy, for it was under his administration that the beginnings of our naval power were laid." If Mr. Holmes is correctly quoted, he has made a serious error of statement. It was not -under Secretary Whitney, but under Secretary William E. Chandler that the start was made toward the construction of a navy which should adequately represent the power of this republic and protect the Interests of its citizens. The original white squadron the Chics go. Doston, Atlanta and Dolphin were all designed under Secretary Chandler's supervision, and they were the fore-runners of our present superb fleet of battle Fhlps and cruisers. Tho new navy is primarily a creation of tho Republican party. Mr. Whitney during hts tenure of his office added som-? fine vessels to its roll, but the Democracy; as a whole, have persistently antagonized Its construction. Honor where honor is due. Harrison nnd the Presidency ' Boston Herald. It seems to us to be rather hastily assumed that Quay's victory in Pennsylvania, puts President Harrison out of the field as a candidate for the presidential succession. There Is considerable anxiety in some quarters to be rid of Harrison In this relation, and it has not had distinguished success thus far. It may not have tbls now. A grood deal depends upon the attitude of tn party toward Quay. Quay's influence Ini Pennsylvania is assumed to be more supreme and unquestioned than ever as tho fruit of his late victory .and Quay does not like Harrison; bJt Pennsylvania Is not tho whole countrj't and. If the Republican party of the Nation has not degenerated beyond what Is claimed for It, Quay will not be th autocrat that he Is at home in its national convention. Heavy Rain at Baltimore.
