O CONFUSED AT TBIES DUnrtAJTT AGAIN RATTLED VXDFJt snvenn cross-examination. Frd to Admit Several Thine lie Had Previously Denied Didn't Know IVhat "AHbl' Meant. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1L After a three days ordeal Theodore Durrant to-dan left the witness stand. District Attorney Barnes tried this morning to draw from the defendant admissions that he was well acquainted with the use of bromo-seltzer, as used In medicine. Durrant's replies Indicated that he had devoted the night to the study of the compound, as he replied that he had conversed with Dr. West about It In the jail last evening. He was abls to give Its analysis and detailed Its pathological effect. For the first time during the trial Durrant to-day pleaded Ignorance. In reply to a question by Mr. Barnes he said he did not know what an alibi waa until after his trial began. - While testifying to-day the prisoner became badly confused at. times and when questioned regarding hl3 experience at Cooper Medical College became so mixed in his dates that he had to refer to a card that he carried In his pocket to set himself right. He became noticeably confused and rather testy In his replies when examined In regard to the Interview that he had with Gilbert F. Graham, a fellow-student at the city prison, when the prosecution claims Durrant asked him, to furnish him with a copy of the notes off Dr. Cheney's lecture, remarking: "If I had those notes I would be able to prove an. alibi." Durrant. in his degged way, denied absolutely that he had made such a declaration, and tried to explain by testifying that Graham came to him with proffers of assistance, going so far as to inquire anxiously if Durrant had the notes of Dr. Cheney's lecture. Durrant finally admitted that he asked him to furnish the notes, but he testified that he made the request at the advice of his attorneys, who instructed him to get the notes from the students of hl9 class and compare them with his own. District Attorney Barnes again forced Durrant to admit that he had written a statement of his case and inclosed it in an envelope to his attorneys with the instructions to "open It if he was convicted and to return It if he was not convicted." Durrant was asked If he did not recently show an envelope bearing such an inscription to ,Miss Carrie Cunningham, a local newspaper reporter. Durrant replied emphatically that he did not, He also denied that he had told Miss Cunningham that he had heard suspicious noises in the belfry of the Emanuel Church on the afternoon that Blanche Lamont was murdered. Several specimens of Durrant's handwriting were introduced in evidence for the purpose of comparing them with the writing on the wrapper in which the ring3 of Blanche 'Eamont were mailed to her aunt, Mrs. Noble. The district attorney closed his cross-examination of the witness by trying to show that when he was at the ferries, ostensibly to search for Blanche Lamont. that he was in reality looking for Minnie "Williams, who came over from Oakland that afternoon, and was found murdered in the church the next day. The defense fought vigorously against the admission of anything bearing on the case of Minnie William, and after a long argument Judgo Murphy sustained the" objections. After Durrant was excused Charles T. Ienahan, who was said to have been mistaken for Durrant by pawnbroker Oppenheim, was recalled to the stand for further examination. Little prcgrcss had been made, however, when court adjourned until Tuesday myrning. Suicide at LouUvllIe. LOUISVILLE. Ky., Oct. 11.

Waterloo Sliavrl. A. C. LANIER IS DEAD MADISON'S MILLIONAIRE PHILAN THROPIST PASSES AWAY. Brother of tbe Well-Knovrn Nerr York Financier Romance Tlint Ended In Sfarrlasre Lrfite In. Life Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MADISON. Ind., Oct, 11. Alexander Chalmers Lanier, millionaire and local phi lanthropist, died at his home here this aft ernoon at 2:4) o'clock. Mr. Lanier recently returned from Indianapolis, where an oper ation was performed on one of h'i eyes at t. Vincent's Hospital. A cataract waa suc cessfully removed, but Dr. Davidson, of this city, the attending physician, thinks the shock of the operation caused hl3 pa tient's death, as he began to grow weaker after his return home. Just as he was leaving the hospital to go to the train he was seized with a fainting fit and had to be returned to his bed, where he remained for several days in a condition of great nervous depression, but whether this attack was due to the shock of the operation or to other causes Is not known. The funeral will tako place Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The Interment will be at Sprlngdale Cemetery In Madison, where his mother and other members of the family are burled. His father, J. F. D. Lanier, is burled in New York. Alexander C. Lanier was of Huguenot or igin, and was the son of J. F. D. and Elizabeth G. Lanier. He was born In Madison, Ind., Oct. 6, 1820, and there his entire life was spent. He was educated at the Indiana University and at Yale College, graduating from the latter In 1S16. But few men lived to his age with a less eventful or a more peaceable and honorable life that Alexander Chalmers Lanier. In 1S58 he connected himself with the Second Presbyterian Church of Madison; and ilved there after a respected aid consistent member thereof. His charity was quiet and unostentations, but liberal and widespread. His beautiful home, with Its ample orchards, vineyards, gardens and hothouses, afforded him the means to minister to the sick with delicate attentions and to gratify his friends with the choicest of nature's productions. His interest in flowers, horti culture and game "has been of Inestimable value to this community, for ho introduced countless new varieties of fruits and flowers, and did as much as any man in the State to preserve the song and game birds and fl.li from Indiscriminate slaughter. 'The old ladles and children's homes, and hundreds of the deserving poor and un fortunate in Madison who have shared his benefactions will feel that they have lost a mend wnose place to them will not be filled. Ho leaves a widow, formerly the wife of the late Col. Samuel B. Sering, to wnom ne was married in indianaDOlis. Nov. 21, 1889. It Is known by many of the older citizens of .Madison that Mr. Lanier and Mr. tJering were suitors for the hand of Miss Stella fcerlng, who In tho early days waa a belle of Madison. Mr. Serlng won her, .and Mr. Lanier would probably have never married put ror the death of Mr. Serin, alter wnlch the old love was re newed, and for years this venerable and respected coupio lived happily. Alexander Lanier's younger brother. Charles Lanier, now the head of the old banking house of inslow, Lanier & Co.. resides in the city of New York. His eldest sister, Mrs. Elizabeth L. Dunn, widow of the late Gen. William McK.ee Dunn, re sides in Washington city. His sister. Mrs. Drusllla Cravens, wife of Hon. John R. Cravens, lives in Madison. Another sister. Mrs. Mary 1 Stone, lives In the city of New YorK. airs, allies standish. a halfsister, also resides in New lork. Died In lit. Chair. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. ll.-reter Rumer. an old and wealthy citizen of Nineveh township, died at his home yesterday even ing. He was in his usual health and was left by his daughter sitting In his chair. She went upstairs and on returning found him dead. The cause of death was heart disease. He was sixty-eight years old and the owner of over two hundred acres of land, nesiaes some otner property. He leaves a large zamiiy or grown children. Judge Cyrus" T. Cook. CHICAGO, Oct. 11. Cyrus T. Cook, a prominent Republican politician of Ed wardsville, 111., dropped dead at the Great Northern Hotel to-day, where he was at tending a meeting of Illinois Repulblcans. Judgo Cook was chosen a few days ago as the Republican candidate for Congress In the Eighteenth district. He was named to succeed the late Congressman Remann, whose death occurred a snort lime aro. Heart disease Is the supposed cause of Judge Cook a death. The political aspect in the district ia entirely changed by this occurrence, as it win necessitate the se-

lection of another candidate. This will add another tangle to the already perplexing

situation. The silver question is the chier Issue in the district. Jamet J. Drookn. PITTSBURG, Oct. 11. James J. "Brooks, eirchlef of the United States Secret Service Department, but of late years In charge of a local detective agency, died at 5 o'clock this morning of heart disease at his residence in this city, aged seventy-six years.

DR.PARKHDBSTTALKS HIS TOSITION IX THE TXSIOX FIGHT AGAINST TAMMANY HALL, He AVIU Support tbe Movement, bnt Will Scratch the Names of One or afore Plnlt Men on the Ticket. NCW YORK, Oct: 11. Rev. Dr. Parkhurst to-day broko the silence which he had maintained cm politics since the fusion ticket waa formed and stated his views on the situation. Much Interest has been felt in Dr. Parkhurst's position, as ho has be come a rovcr in municipal politics, and his utterances are influential. He has declared In recent reviews that he was as deeply opposed to the Piatt wing of the Republican party as to Tammany Hall, therefore it was not known whether he mould support the fusion ticket, which con tains a majority of Piatt men among the candidates. In hi statement Dr. Tarkhurst said: "With the outcome of the ef forts that have been made at fusion I am sadly disappointed. Surprisingly excellent as the fusion ticket I' Inicertaln portions of Its personnel, no resident in this city can examine tho ticket without discovering that the influences largely operative In Its construction were distinctly indifferent to. rot to say antagonistic to, all that makes for the best Intern t of the city as gener ally interpreted. ' We aro not satisfied to be told of a candidato that there Is noth ing In particular that, can be said against him. Negation and colorlcsnezs does not level up to the grade of tho popular de mand. Now In this we are not criticising the committee of fifty. Its function was un,ler?tool to b-Vo constrain the several organization? tw.Irj.4rlne"ili 'i-iio covrii!tlon .of a ticket, not to compose a ticket of Its oan. All it could do was to prod the different organizations into making the ticket as reputable a contribution as was obtainable and. too distinct and cordial a recognition cannot be male of the pro tracted and painstaking efforts made by it to meet the demands of its own Judg ment ana that or tho public. hatevcr there may bo in the situation that is faulty and deplorable we are not thereby absolved rrcm the obliiration rest ing on U3 as citizens to gather ourselves up from any perplexity into which we "may have been thrown by the unexpected, to re member that altered contingencies have not mo'iJfled ths essential elements 1n the case. and that whatever other enemies there may be thatf will be required to be knocked down when their turn comes, It Is neither robust citizenship nor good strategy to concentrate this year upon any other ene my than the one we all combined to par alyze last year, namely, Tammany Hall. Interesting as it would be to get all the birds of prey on to one branch and aim at general effects, yet blunderbus fighting is a mode of musketry that is neither the most economical nor the most effective. One enemy killed is better than half it dozen enemies scorchea. Theucrh I renudlate a portion of tho fusion platform, and though I shall not neglect to scratch one or more names on the fusion ticket, yet that fact is no -cannara into wnich I shall thrust my sw$ri that is already vl with tho tiger's blood. DR. STUIEBY'S DISCOVERY. Scotch Highlander nnd Anierlcnn In dian Cloudy Allied. MOHONK LAKE, N. Y.. Oct 11. At the meeting of the Indian Association this morning Rev. Dr. Strleby; secretary of the American Missionary Association, read a paper on Scotch highland ere and American Indians, which aimed to show that these two races are closely allied. Rev. Sheldon Jackson reported on the experiment of bringing rreindeer from Siberia to Alaska, and that it had been a success. Mrs. Elaine Goodalo Eastman reported that the Dakota Indiana were well organ ized for practical Christian work. They had raised thousands of dollars every year. not only to support native preachers, but also ror roreign missions. Ex-Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts. then spoke of tbe Indian Territory, depicting its strange and disgraceful condition. The Territory was a form of government by itself, independent or the United States. The Territory was now surrounded by great States, and immigration was pouring in like a flood. Some three hundred thou sand white people are now living in the Territory, he raid, out mey nave no interest In so much as a foot of the roil, and their children aro excluded from the public fchools. The Indians are no further advanced than they were when they came to the Territory, and they are preyed on by the white man. it was time that the gov ernment took this matter in its own hands. General Morgan, ex-commissioner of Indian affairs, indorsed wnat uie senator had said. PLAY TIME IS ENDED. Preaildent Cleveland on the Wny to Washington for 1II Winter Work.

ARKANSAS CANNOT DC DISGRACED BY THE PRIZE FIGHTERS. Gor. Clarke Says He Will Co-Opernte frith Judge Duffle to Prevent the 31111 nt not Springs. PUGILISTS HAVE NO BIGOTS "WHICH THOSE IJC AUTHORITY ARE BOUND TO RESPECT. Corbctt nnd Fitsslmmons Notified hy the Governor that the Lani of the State Cannot De Violated. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Oct. 11. Governor Clarke, who has been examining" the laws closely touching the. guberanatorlal power to prevent prize fighting to-night outlined his intentions in a communication addressed to the officers at Hot Springs and the principals in the proposed fight. Upon the mooted question of the proper mode of proceedings, the Governor has counseled with other lawyers and his pronunciamento to-night, which is in favor of preventive measures, is regarded as final. The Gov; ernor will hold himself 'ready to co-operate with Judge Duffle, of the Hot Springs dis trict, to prevent the flght should it ap pear that the local authorities fail to impress upon the fighters and their backers, with sufficient force, the propriety of de claring tho fight off. In h'rs letter to Judge Duffle Governor Clarke says: "I beg to assure you that you shall have my prompt and cheerful co-operation in any effort you may make to suppress the pro posed prize fight at Hot Springs. Any order that you may mako la thU connection shad not prove ineffective for want of power to enforce it. I say this with confidence, be cause I hold in the highest respect the fidelity and courage of Sheriff Houpt I feel ijure that his active assistance can be re lied on, but it is said that even Jupiter sometimes nods. If it shall, contrary to ray expectations, become necessary to proceed without the valuablo aid of the sheriff. I stand ready tosupply all that may be neces sary. "I agree with you that preventive proceedings will, in tnis case, meet me ae mands or the law ana justice, ine leaiurc , . t rr t . ..... of this present prize flght which has aroused and will continue to arouse the indignation of our people is its character as an invasion of the State by a class of per sons and for a purpose that will not be tolerated elsewhere. Under the circum stances, It is a practical assertion of belief that our people do not possess the tastes and sentiments that harmonize with stand ards which prevail in enlightened com munities. Regarded as such an invasion, the proposed event assumes a magnitude that would not attach to a similar affair locally organized; it becomes more than an Infraction of a statute, and in ten suppression calls for the exercise of more prompt and summary measures. I will treat your letter to me as an application to support your efforts ..to .deal with the matter in this aspect, and not until I shall have ex hausted the very comprehensive powers conferred on the Governor by Section 7181 of Sandels and Hill's Digest will I admit that I have made the effort in vain. I will notify the parties principally Inter ested in this affair of my determination to co-operate with the local authorities in their efforts to prevent its occurrence at Hot Springs and request them to desist from further preparations in this dlrec Hon." In his letter to Sheriff Houpt, Governor Clarke expresses a desire to confer with him personally in order to reach an un derstandlng as to what steps are neces sary to carry out his purpose. In addition to notifying President Dan Stuart, of the Florida Athletic Club, by mall of his determination to prevent the fight, Governor Clarke to-night telegraphed to Corbett and Fitzsimmons as follows: "I am advised by the press dispatches that it is your purpore at an early day to engage In a prize flght In this State. The purpose of this is to Inform you that such en act is a viola tloa of our law and au affront to the sen timent of State pride entertained by our people. It will, therefore, not be possible for you to acomplish any such purpose, and any attempt on your part to do so will subject you to penalties and to treat ment that I am sure will be highly dls tasteful to you. I do not at this time know In detail all the complications in which you may be involved by any such attempt, but I am well enough advised of the nature and extent of the power and authority with which you will find yourself confronted to say that it will prove sufficient to deter you from engaging in a prize fight ia Arkansas. This is enough for you to know. The ques tion, so far as it refates to you does not now call for the citation or construction of statutes or other rules of law. In the present state of public opinion, which at last Is tho force that inflicts penalties, prize fighters have no rights which those In au thority are bound to respect. Rut there is no lack of law to make it now my duty to do all that Is here Indicated. As this Is the only communication that I shall address to you, I have been somewhat more cm phatic than would be the case if the mat ter were open to discussion." No Fiffht on Public Land. WASHINGTON, Oct. H.-6ecreUry Smith said to-day thai he had no knowledge that the Corbett-FItzsimmons prize-fight man agers were Intending to have the fight on the government reservation at Hot Springs, Ark., but that, should any attempt be made to have the fight on the reservation. he would see that the law was enforced. Corbett and Fltzsimmons would not be granted a permit from the Interior Depart ment, and If the lessees should grant the privilege of a fight upon tho lands they had obtained irom tne government ne would revoke the lease of such person.' Agent Wisdom, at Muskogee, telegraphed to-day that he had received the letter of in structions from commissioner Urownlryj and would take immediate steps to prevent the fleht taking place in the Indian Terri tory- Chief Perryman, of one of the- tribes in the Indian Territory, telegraphed the Indian Office, asatng ir it naa any objection to glove contests and puglistic encounters takintr place in the Territory. Acting Com missioner Smith replied that he presumed the chief mant prize lights, and that Ajrent Wisdom had been instructed to suppress all such exhibitions, j Corbett nnd Pitzimmoni. , SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Oct. ll.Corbett and his party will leave here Monday night for Hot Springs. The arrangements for their departure have already been made. Brady, however, 13 not confident that the flght will be pulled off In Arkansas. He makes no attempt to conceal his disappoint ment at the action of Judge Duffle. Ho says it begins to look as if they would have to fltrht in private . oeiore oniy xour or nve representatives of each side. Julian left today for Corpus Christ!. He says before tak ing Fltzsimraons to Arkansas he will have to have a guarantee that they will not be molested by the officers. Julian sayn alsothat he haa made no agreement witn isrady relative to the croimraent of the referes

and that the name cf the referee will not

be known until the day of the f.srht. Julian says Fitz3lmmons's rtde bet will be made secure by Oct 15, the time stipulated vy Brady. Julian also says Fitzsimmon9 will agree to flght Corbett In a room before twelve men, each side to choose six. Xo Vnrnalneii nt Hot Sprlnp. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Oct. 11. The state ment sent out from here last night and printed throughout the country that Judge Duffle has instructed the sheriff to do everything In his power as an officer of the law to prevent the contemplated flght between Corbett and Fitzsimmons from coming off here is entirely tne.

The part!e3 who own the bull pen and arena in that city ilso received a request by telegraph from Mr. Campbell, of San Antonio,' wno nas an option on its rental, requesting that it be extended for five days more.

WASHINGTON, Oct. ll.-On Oct, 15 th new arrangements for carrying ocean mail? will go into effect. The first trip will be made by tho St. Louis. At that time the United States will bogin paying the r.ew American lines of steamers 14 per mile for carrying the mall from New York to cuthampton. The number of miles b-tween those places will be computed by the Navy Department, giving the average distance, and no regard will be paid to the northern or southern route. The computations will also bo I: statute. Instead of nautical miles, the opinion of the Attorney-general being to th effect that the word "mile" in the law does ot mean nautical miles or knots. It Is es'.iunte-d that the-cosi ofcarrying trui maJU will be something over 5700,000 per year. Under ti e contract the American company must dispatch a ship every week, and carry all mail that is vftervd. It has not yet been determined whether mail will be held for American lines or whether it shall be dispatched al?o by other lines. This is something to fix decided by the Postmaster-general, and be and General Neil son, tho Second Asistant, under whose Jurif diction tho foreign mails come, are now considering the matter. It 13 probable that the department will not decids to hold foreign mails for a week, but will send tho more Important matters bv the other lines as now. Papers and printed matter, will no doubt be held for the contract service. t At rre?nt there are from four to five mall dispatches a wetk. Tho foreign companies receive 41 cents jer pound for letters and 4ls cents per pound for printed matter. The American line will recrive fl .GO per pound for letters and 8 cents for printed matter. It is expected that the cost of the transatlantic mall service will b considerably increased under tbe new arrangement. The cost of tie service for tbe vear ending June 3), 15Si, was 1010.SS2. and for the following year it was something more than that. The ivymcnta to th American line will be more than the total cost of the service now.
