Ills seven, vears as circuit ludce srave him time to accomplish a most honorable ca . reer. -Zo place affords a higher and broader test of capacity an I character than that of judge of a court of first resort and general Jurisdiction. This applies with great lltness to tho Sixth circuit, whose four States, reaching from Lake Superior to the. Appalachian ranxe. like a cross section ot the great Republic, present almost every variety of population, business and law. .Such a Judge must admit and exclude eviv 1enee, sift, discern and analyze facts, and apply legal principles generally, all without the advantage of e-foclates, sometimes, with slight aid from counsel, and often, with little opportunity for study and reflection. Many of his Judgments are final, and few are open to complete review, but every act and utterance pa-ss before that nnai ana uncrnng iriDunai me uar and the people. The iowers of this highest of all tribunals are too great to be com mitted to one man alone. Their exercise is placed beyond the reach and above th need of review by the association of 'minds which stimulate, aid and correct each other. Who may fitly Join in the deliberations of-such a court nut those who have stood the highest tests which th profession affords? Justice Jackson's career as a member of this court was cut short by his untimely death: but he served long enough to vindicate the .fitness of his selection and sharpen still further our sen?ie of loss. Whoever shall be called to take that vacant place will find it none the easier to llll because it was last held by Justice Jack, son-" m , In his address the Chief Justice, referring to Justice Jackson'a last appsarance in the income tax case, said: "Devotion to duty had marked his course throughout life, and ha found In its Inspiration tf.e strength to overcome tho weakness of the outward man. as, weary and languid, he appeared In his seat for the last time in obed'enee. to the demand of public exigency. The re fponse to the roll call under such circunv stances gives complete assurance that when, a, few weeks later, he came to the passage of the river, good conscience, to whom in his lifetime he had spoken to met him there, lent him his hand and so helped him over." i The court, as a further mark of respect, dtniirned until next Monday. Snath Carolina Case Dismissed. WASHINGTON. Nov. 23. The Tnlted States Supremo Court, in an opinion" by Justice Gray, to-diy, dismissed the case of Mills vs. Green, Involving the legality of elections to the constitutional convention now almost through its work at Columbia, S.

WASHINGTON', Nov. 25.-Seeretary Hoke .Smith, in his annual report, will recommend that the Carey law, granting one million acres of arid land to each State in which sueh lumls are situated, be amended so that the grant be made to the State outright and it be made responsible for the Irticatlon of the lands. I'nder the law a It now stands It would be many years before the State would receive the benefit of the grant and Secretary Smith believe thit the State can carry out better the intention of Congress if It gets control of the entire grant at once Instead of waiting until water Is secured for the lands.

The Thrilling: Experience That Causes n, ovel Annnal Meeting;. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DECATUR, Ind., Nov. 23.-On the 27th of this month will occur a soldiers' reunion at Monmouth, a small town In this county, in which but two old veterans will participate -L. N. Grandstaff, present postmaster at Monmouth, and E. B. Crouse, of Antwerp. O. There were probably no two men who took part in the late war with as thrilling an experience, and who were permitted to return - home and tell the story, as were these two soldiers. Each is covered with scars of battle, while each has lmbeded in his body leaden balls planted there by tho rebel enemy. Roth these gentlemen were members of the One-hundred-and-thlrtieth Indiana Infantry, General Cooper's brigade, and participated in Sherman's iase campaign. Their regiment left Resaca, Ga , the 3d of November, 1864, to relieve Johnsonville, on the Tennessee river, and left Johnsonvllle on the morning of the 24th. Long marches, rough roads and wet weather were more than' they could endure, ami consequently, after four days' marching, they almost gave out. On the afternoon of the 27th they sat down by the roadside, almost exhausted, to rest, near Centervllle. After resting half an hour they started to. rejoin their regiment, when they saw eight mounted men coming down the road. Thinking they were rebel cavalry, they attempted to fire their muskets, but the wet weather had dampened the powder and they would not go off. They were soon captured by the guerrillas and marched ten miles, and after wading Pine river were taken a shoit distance up stream, where were thirteen more prisoners from the same company, in charge of twenty guerrillas. After another short march the, prisoners were divided Into four squads. The first squad was marched behind a small hill, and stood in a row. when four guerrillas stepped in front of them and with revolvers shot them down, one at a time. The second squad, containing Grandstaff and Crouse, was taken to the same place and stood beside their dead comrades and like wise shot down, and then the fifteen I'nlon soldiers were shot down like dogs. After all were killed (as they supposed) the guerrillas robbed the dead men of their clothing, mounted their horses, and, after firing a volley at the dead men, rode away. After the noise of the retreating horses had died away, and at the same tlmr, Grandstaff and Crouse raised their heads and then arose to find they were the only men alive out of the fifteen, and neither of them seriously hurt. The two men, with barely enough clothing to cover their nakedness, started to regain their command. Night soon overtook them, but after tramping twelve miles they reached the picket lines. Thinking them rebels, the pickets fired on them, and Crouse and Grandstaff were compelled to seek refuge In a hollow tree, where they remained till the following morning, when they were recognized and taken on the wagon train. They remained with the company till the close of the war. At the time this occurred Grandstaff was but eighteen years old and Crouse but seventeen. Grandstaff enjoys good health now, and is as spry as a boy of sixteen, while Crouse Is In poor health, caused. by the bullet wounds In hU neck and head received at tht time.- The two men hold a reunion once a year, on the anniversary of the above event, and t always have much to be thankful for. , XOVKL DAMAGE St IT. Divorced Wife Sue Her Former Husband for Alleared Slander. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOG A N'SPORT, Ind., Nov. 23.-The case of Elizabeth A. Rligh against Martin J. Rligh, which has been sent to Kokomo from the Cass Circuit Court on a change of venue, is of the most sensational nature. It Is a suit In which the plaintiff seeks to recover damages from her divorced husband for alleged slander. Rligh is a wealthy wholesale liquor dealer of this city. He came here -vlth his wife from England a number of years ago. A couple of years ago he had employed in his place of business a pretty girl named Eisero. She was his bookkeeper and confidential clerk. It was about this time that Rligh and his wife began to have trouble. At the time the divorce was granted it developed that the wife accused the 'husband of ln-fi-lelity in. connection with Miss Elsro. She also charged that he spent his nights away from home. In his own Justification Rlfgh charged that his wife was subject to spells or insanity and that he could not live with her. The family trouble resulted in Rligh making a settlement with his wife, giving her $10,000 in cash and arranging that she might secure a divorce. The divorce was secured In due time and Mrs. Rligh returned to England, while Mr. Cligh found that family interests made It necessary that his nvirriage with Miss Eisero should take place at once. She was a Roman Catholic and the. priest objected, but the marriage was consummated In spite of the church and the girl's friends. S.)on after the second Mrs. Rligh gave birth to a child. While Mrs. Elizabeth Rligh was In England her brother received a letter from Mr. Rligh which forms the basis of th big damage suit now pending. The pl.ilntlff alleges that it contained references to her that were most defamatory to her character. The defendant made answer to the complaint yesterday. He acknowledges writing the letter In question, but pleads that the alleged defamatory statements referred to the time when the plaintiff was his wife. The best legal talent has been engaged and the figh: will le made on the lints mentioned in Mr. Rligh's answer. The question seems to be a new one. as to whether a divorced woman may ' testify against her former husband regirdlng acts committed by him. the significance of which rests on their former relation us husband and wife. ritiEiv .missions.

Relieved to lie the Itemnln of n Man Killed Fourteen Yenra Abo. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FARMLAND, Ind., Nov. 23. To-day while workmen were clearing up a piece of timbered land near the Delaware and Henry county line which was badly wrecked by a windstorm about fourteen years ago, they found a human skeleton imbedded among the bodies of several uprooted trees. Near tho skeleton was a metallic clasp and rim of a pocketbook, also several pieces of silver money, while directly under the skeleton was found a long brass rule used by lumbermen in measuring; lumber, with the letters "G. G." plainly cut on one end. The finding of tho skelton has revived and no doubt furnishes a solution to a mystery that excited the people of Oakvllle. a town near by, for years after the storm. The landlord of the village hotel at that time received a letter from a Chicago. lumter firm asking for information concerning one Benjamin Griswold. who had been sent to that place to purchase lumber in the trees. The landlord replied that a young man remained all night at his houKe. but after paying his bill left early next morning, as he thought, for the depot to catch a train. He made his business known to no one, consequently no trace of him could be found, even by some relatives who afterwards visited Oakville and made a thorough investigation. His mysterious disappearance was never connected with the storm that almost destroyed Oakville and many other surrounding towns, but many believed that he was secretly making explorations through the lands. Inspecting timber, w hen the storm began and taking shelter under some trees, lost his life. Every effort will be made to find the address of the persons who communicated with the Oakville landlord fourteen years ago and the facts unearthed today will be made known then. IXDIA5A OIlITtAHY.

A NEW YORK MYSTERY

A DFTKCTIVK'S STOIIV OF Till DI AL LIFE LED II Y AS ATTOHXEY. What a Clever, Alert Man Can A worn pIUli In the War of Mystifying Ills Friends and the Public. New York Letter in St, Louis Globe-Democrat. . "People who commit a crime and try to escape detection, or those who attempt to disappear for any reason, usually make discovery easy by dodging and hiding too much," said a well-known Central Office detective while discussing a recent case of mysterious disappearance. "Several years ago I was convinced by the startling developments In the Stallworth mystery that it is comparatively an easy matter for a man fairly well known to lead a double life, change his name and Identity or disappear altogether In a big city like New York. In fact. It frequently happens that a man who has lived a dual life for years is discovered and exposed by accident. "But the storyof the Stallworth mystery will show what a clever man can accomplish in the way of mystifying his frienJs and the public. " "I was detailed to investigate a robbry that had occurred in a private house up. town. Tho bedroom of the lady of" the house, which was situated at the rear of the second floor, had been entered and a quantity of valuable jewels ( stolen. The family were away at the time, and the burglar hal gained entrance through the win dow of the room, showing that a ladder had been usea. The window ;had been fas--tened with a catch on the insiJe. 'The burglar broke a pane of glass, put his hand through and unfastened this catch so the window could be easily raised. A. light lad-' der ten feet long I saw would have enabled i the burglar to reach the window from the ground. "The burglar evidently knew just w here to find the jewels, for the house showed no evidence of having been disturbed. None of the servants knew where the jewels were kept, so they were not suspected. It was quite a puzzling case, and after several examinations of the house 1 concluded that the burglar would have to be traced through the pawn shops. "I had just left the scene of the robbery after my third visit, and was standing on a near-b3 street corner yhen a well-dressed man of middle age came-up and spoke to me pleasantly. I did not recognize him,; 'and was about to turn away when he remarked that the robbery was quite a mysterious affair. 'What do you know about It?" I asked, not' liking his impertinence. "Very little," -he replied, pleasantly. "I live near by, and read it; all In the newspapers. I recognized you as a Central Office man, having seen you about the courts." - "As the man spoke he handed me nis card, which read: 'Edgar. Stallworth, Attorney at Law.' j AN AM ATEUR ' DETECTI YE. i "I had never heard of the tiilp, but somehow he interested me. First of all, he had what I call double eyes. That Is, there was an expression in his eyes that is hard to describe, but when looking straight at me he seemed to have a second pair of optics that looked through and beyond me in a mysterious way. He talked further cf the robbery, and remarked that men who committed a crime, no matter how shrewd and cautious, almost Invariably left some tangible clew behind them. I told him the man who committed this robbery had not done so. "On that proposition we differed, and he proposed that 1 take him to the house with me and let him look at the room. "'I am something of an amateur detective,' he said, in explanation of his request. Then he went on to tell me that he had done much detective work as a part of nis law business, and was quite an enthusiast on theories of crime and methods of criminals. By this time I had classed the fellow as a harmless crank, but he was a good talker and Interested me very much. . "The upshot of it all was that I took him back to the house and showed him the room where the robbery occurred. He first looked at the bureau drawer that had been broken open. That finished, he shook his head and went over to the window through which the burglar had entered. I was watching him closely, and soon after he began to examine the window I saw him smile in a satisfied way. " 'Otie point is settled,' he suddenly exclaimed. " 'What Is that?' I asked. ' , "The robbery was committed, by a ' 'How do you know? "Because he did not break the glass. He used a putty knife to remove the paneand then dropped the glass to the ground. Only a glazier would have opened the window in this way.' "I had to confess that all of the broken glass was found In the yard; none in the room. . "Here is another point: a better clew, perhaps. The putty knife used had a gap in the blade near the point. Here you can see where the putty was cut and at intervals you will observe a rough spot indicating the gap in the knife blade.' ' "I looked for myself and saw that he was right. " Xow' tn's robbery was committed by a workman who did some job of work in the house at one time or another, , and by accident or design learned where those jewels were kept. He was accustomed to standing on a ladder at his work. So he used a ladder and came in through the window. It was easier for him than breaking locks on doors. He opened the window. as a man in his trade would open it. and went to the right place to find what he was after.' "I felt somewhat chagrined, but proceeded to Inquire If a glazier had been at work In the house recently. I was told that one had put in some new glass in the windows of . the room where the robbery occurred some three months before. " That's our man.' said Stallworth, 'but I do not understand why he waited so long.' , "I learned the , name of the contractor who had the Job, and through him got the name of his employe who did the work. We went to the room of the fellow while he was out. searched it and found the stolen Jewels. The fellow was arrested i?.tor. "My amateur assistant did not appear elated over our success, and allowed me to take all the credit of the capture. " "Clumsy Tool: all of them are,' was his only remark when he found that his theory was the right one. FOUND HIM INTERESTING. That was the way I made the acquaintance of Edgar Stallworth. I was interested in the man from the start, and he took quite a fancy to me. He probably would "not have done so if he had known the real . reason for my interest in him. From the first I had a conviction that the man was an interesting living mystery, and that some day I would learn his secret. I did , not exactly suspect him of being a criminal, but I believed that he would sooner or later develop a mania for mysterious crime that would cause him to try his own hand at puzzling the iolicc and the public. "I found that he had a fair law practice and enjoyed an excellent reputation among members of the profession. But of his private life I learned pothing. 1 had nflthcr time, reason nor inclination to shadow him and learn his habits, but I made some inquiries and could find no one who even knew where he lived. Only4 his office address was in the directory. "We remained friends for several 'years, and he frequently assisted me in my work at times with great success. He iossessed in a high degree a faculty for solving the actions of criminals ami getting at the secret of apparent mysteries He was what we would call in our profession a theoretical detective, and his theories were usually sound ones. But while we met often, worked together on many cases and discussed his theories for hours at a time, the man himself remained as great a mystery to me as ever. He never spoke of himself or his own affairs, and there was something in the manner of the fellow that forbade impertinent questions. I had been very busy busy for two or three months on small cases, and had not seen Stallworth during that time, when I read in the newspapers one morning of the disappearance and supposed suicide from a Fall river boat of one James Stallings, a retired merchant. The man hail purchased a ticket for Roston and trone aboard the boat in New York. Friends and members of his family were at the pier to see him off. He repaired to his state room immediately after dinner, and was not seen again until after midnight, when two of the dock hands saw him smoking by the outer rail aft. - "When the boat arrived at Fall River he was not on board, and it was suppose.! that he had fallen or Jumped overboard. The case was followed up closely by the re-

porters, and the suicide theory was stron;ly supported by the facts they discovered. The missing man was a very reticent, mysterious fellow, and even his .wife and daughter, his only family, knew absolutely nothing of his business affairs. Supposed to be in good circumstances, it was found that all he left his family was an insurance policy for a large amount. This seemed to confirm the suicide theory, and as soon as the widow applied for payment of the insurance the companies started an Investigation. "One of the first things they learned was that the man had spent most of his time away from home for the past five years. Even his wife never knew where he was when absent, and she did not know the character of his business. The very few friends and acquaintances of the missing man who could be found knew nothing of his business affairs. They knew him simply as a retired merchant. He belonged to no clubs or lodges, and had no Intimate friends. "The man was gone, and there was no positive proof of suicide, but the company contested payment of the insurance policy in the hope that something In their favor might be discovered. That was the way the matter stood, when I one dav ran across my friend Stallworth. Almost his first question was to ask what I thought of the disappearance of . the .man. from the Fall River boat. : . . ..A BEAUTIFUL CASK. "I told him that I had paid little, attention to the matter. - ' ' ".'Why that is a wonderful case,' he exclaimed, with more animation than usual. " 'I have 'been studying that very closely. It is a splendid mystery; no evidence at all of bungling, so far. The insurance company will have to pay the money unless they can produce the man alive." "I told him that I failed to see anything remarkable in the case, as men had disappeared hi that way before, some committing suicide perhaps, others falling overboard by accnent. and still others having escaped from the boat without detection. " 'But in the latter case they were always-found,' he replied. . 7y.e,1 this man be found if alive,' I told him. - , . " Never!' Stallworth exclaimed with emhasis. This man planned too well. All the proof that he went on the boat, was seen late at night, and did not leave the vessel when she landed was well supplied. Tho man has vanished. The mystery is complete." "The manner of the man surprised me. I had never before seen him so emphatic, but concluded that it was due to the fact tlvat this affair seemed to come up to his idea of a complete and perfect -mystery. "A month raised before 1 saw Stallworth again. One day I was assigned to a case of mysterious disappearance, and I turned to him for assistance, knowing that e would thoroughly enjoy the work. "A woman from Brooklyn came to headquarters and reported the disappearance ot her husband. He had been gone for three months, and' she had been unable to find any trace of him with the. aid of private detectives. She did not want, the matter made public, but wanted the police to aid. her In the search as best they could. "The story told by the woman was so re markable that we first investigated to find if it was true. She was a woman past fifty, and was a widow five years before, when, she met a man who gave the name of HJward James. He represented himself as a lawyer in practice in this city, but of his family or his past history the woman knew nothing. She did not know his address of the names of any of his friends. As she confessed herself.' the man exercised some, strange influence over her, and she at cepted all his statements without question. 'They .were married within two months of their first meeting, and had lived very happily together, although the husband was even more of a mystery after marriage than before. "He would frequently remain away from home for days at a time, telling his wifw that he was absent on business, but nevei where he was. He never went Jout with her, not even for a walk In the street, telling her that he cared for no society ex. cept her own "Th woman was quite wealthy when she married James, and she gave him money whenever he asked for It. He had . induced her to give him large sums to invest, as he said, and told her afterward that the money had been lost in bad Investments. "She accepted all he said and did without question. anJ the result wa that he ot possession of all her money. I learned that on th? day he left home she (had given him $10,000 in cash, wblch he raid he wanted for a safe and sure speculation. With this money he came over to the city, and that was the las: she had seen or heard of him. T told the woman frankly that I thought she had been deceived and robbed by -a clever swfhdler, and that she would never see the' man again. She would not believe th's and I promised to do what I could to find him. I had the woman give me an accurate description of the man, ani I was startled by tne likeness to my friend Stallworth, although; according to her account, her husband was a younger man by ten years than the amateur detective. REVEALED BY DEATH. "There was little chance of finding any trace of the fellow, I thought, but next day I called on Stallworth and gave him an outline of the case, omitting the name. " 'Splendid! Splendid!' he exclaimed, rubbing his hands in glee when I had finished. 'Very clever fellow, evidently, but If he has bungled the Job anywhere we will find him. What is his name? " 'She knew him by the name of Edward James,' I replied slowly, looking Stallworth straight in the eyes. " 'James, James. Edward James! Seems to me I have heard the name somewhere, he replied, never swerving in his gaze nor showing the slightest tra'ce of surprise. ip to that moment 1 had a theory. 1 need not tay what It was, but the manner of rny friend convinced me that' I was wrong. The double eyes Oi the man were looking straight Into mineone- pair of them, while the others seemed to look into space beyond me without a quaver. 1 thought at the time that If my theory were right and the man was acting, he was the greajeet actor living. ".My vague suspicion that this man Stallworth would one day commit a crime of some mysterious character ha'd never left me up to that day, but his manner at the time I told him of the disappearance, of Edward James came very near to convinceing me that I had done him a great wrong. "We talked over the case for some time, and he suggested various lines of inquiry. One of his suggestions was that a man of the. character described would likely speculate in Wall street in a small way and that there we might find some trace of him. He closed his desk and raid that he would go with me to some brokers with whom he was acquainted and see if we could strike the trail of the missing man. It was a cold winter day and the streets were covered with Ice. We were crossing Broadwav directly in front of a truck when Stallworth slipped and fell. Before the driver of the truck could pull up his horses they were upon the prostrate man and a heavy iron-shod , hoof struck him in the head, breaking his skull. "1 saw at once that the man was fatally injured. He was still conscious, however, and while waiting for an ambulance l asked him for the adlress of his family. " "I have none,' he answered slowly, while a grim smile played over his pale face. " 'Is there anything 1 can do tor you any message I can dellverT 1 asked. "He shook his head and was silent for a moment. Suddenly he looked at me with that strange expression like two pair of eyes In one, and said. This last case of yours Is a Rood one. I don't believe you will find the man you are looking for. Sorry I cannot work with you on the case. There may be a blunder somewhere, but I think not. It seems io be a complete mysierj-.' "By this time the ambulance had arrived, and -as Stallworth was lifted into it he fainted. He did not revive, and died soon after reaching the hospital. "It tcok me several hours to make up my mind to do It. but finally I went to Brooklyn and brought over the woman whose husband was missing. I took her to the hospital and aked her to look at the fac

The fellow had been su very clever In his work it teemed a pity to expose him now that he was dead. But the on point' settled, another theory formed Itself in my mind and I decided to act on it.
