Strong was arrested this afternoon at Ravenna, Portago county, and charged with tho murder of Mr. and Mrs. Aivm is. stone, at TaiimaJge, on Saturday night. The evidence on which the chargo Is base! Is largely circumstantial. Thirteen years ago Strong was sent to th penitentiary for horse steal ing; his conviction being recured by the tes tlmony of Stone. Several years later, after his release from prison, he was arrested again for thq same crime and aizain convicted on the testimony of Stone. lie galnel his liberty the second time about three waeks ago and was at once suspecte of tha murder -of Stone- and his wife. When taken into custody to-day Stone said he wai at the home of his sister, in Ravenna, all of Saturday night and that he had gone to church Sunday morning. A search of the sister's house, however, resulted in the discovery of a suit of clothes and an overcoat which had been placed by a stove to dry. There were no blood stains on the clothing, but Stronga sister aii she had hashed the garments in an outhouse early this morning. In one of Strong's pockets was found a railroad ticket from Ravenna to Kent, t.Vj latter place being within two miles ot the scene of Saturday night's tragedy. The ticket was purchased last Saturday. Strong was brought here at C o'clock this evening and placed in Jail. The news of th arrest soon spread and a big crowd assembled. There was no disorder, but Mayor Harper decided to prevent an outbreak by ordering Battery A of the Light Artillery to assemble at its .trmory and await developments. The otrer members of the Stone family, except Stlllson. the nephew, will recover. SUSIE WILDE'S VENGEANCE. An IndiannpolU Variety, Actress Shoots Her Husband In 'Frisco. SAN FRANCISCO. March 30.-As John Martin, driver of a patrol wagon, was sitting in his wagon in front of police headquarters at the City Hall, at noon to-day, his wife camo up behind him and shot him three times with a pistol. One bullet passed through Martin's body, and he will probably die. Mrs. Martin, gave as a reason for the shooting that Martin had not been home for several nights, and last night was drinking hard. She added she was tired of his neglect and determined to punish him. She shows no regret for the shooting. The Mrs. Martin referred to In the atx)ve dispatch waa formerly Miss Susan Virgil. of Indianapolis. She was one of three sis ters, all well known, here a number of years Ago, who took to the stage. Her stage name was Susie Wilde, and she often appeared ftt the old "Zoo" in Its palmy days, as a variety performer. She left here six or eight years ago and was then the widow of Marsh Adams, the original "Old Black Joe" man of minstrel fame. A private dispatch 6tatcs that Martin was fatally wounded.

DETTIXG IS CVEtf OX 1VATS0X AXD JOHNSON IX HENRY COUXTT. Wat on People IVorklnjr. the Brother hood Rcrolatlonn for All They" Are Worth. RALLY DAY IN NEW CASTLE 3I0RE EXCITEMENT TO-DAY TIIAX A PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN. Iland nnil Delegations from Every Township Will Swarm the County Sent Speeches by Hoth 31en. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW CASTLE, InL, March 30. The Watson-Johnson contest has been compara tively quiet here to-day, but It is the lull before tho storm "which bursts to-morrow. There have been crowds on tha streets. It is trqe, and the congressional matter has been the solo topic of conversation, but every body was saving their best energies for to-morrow. The eventful day will open up with street canvassing. Watson will drive in from Mount Summit to-ntght and get out early for work in the morning. John son has had a hard day of it to-day, having addressed a large audience in Hoover's Hall at Splceland this afternoon and then trav eled to the extreme northeastern corner of the county to deliver a final talk to th people of Blountsvllle. He, too, will arrive in town early in the morning, and the contest, which has penetrated into every cot tage, and mansion of the county, narrows down, to the limit of this city, where the last effort to turn tho tide of votes will be made and when the last word of the last speech will be spoken to-morrow night. No one feels certain enough to predict results. Everybody is expecting to-morrow to be ono of the greatest fays the town has ever experienced, pollticaly, and it will be equal to. a dozen presidential campaign rallies combined. There will be bands of music and parades and It is hard telling what else. Johnson will begin his address at 1:30 o'clock in the Alcazar Opera House, and he !s scheduled to close in time for Wat son to begin from the same platform at 7:30 o'clock. Thesa last efforts will probably be the best either champion has. ever had occa sion to make. A special train will be run from Mlddletown, and Irondalo worker?, whohave been fcr Watson from the start, will be out In a body with llUnners and Watson badges and streamers galore. Every township, village and town in the county will 6end a large contingent, and the crowd will be swollen by a large delegation of Johascn'a personal friends from. Richmond, who will come over on the n6on .train to hear the great speech of their fellow-townsman. After ft!s address to-morrow afternoon Mr. John son will go to Ashland, where he winds up the campaign. He has teen billed to speak at Knlghtstown, but on account of the distance to dflve It was found to be an impos sibility to do. so. There have been many grave phases to the present congressional race,' hut thes? ill all be cleared up by the election of Wednesday, -and harmony will prevail. The Watson people have been using with telling effect the resolutions passed by the Central Labor Union, of Indianapolis, de nouncing Johnson for some of his votes on bills affecting the Interests of labor while he was a member of the Indiana Legislature. The friends of Johnson are seeking to coun teract the effect of thi3 by charging that the resolutions passed by the t Central Labor Union were written here by Watson s man agers and passed by their procurement, and that the matter would never have been taken up by the Indianapolis labor organization had it not been for the agitation .from this end of the line. It appears, also, that an Indorsement of the action of the Central' Labor union has been secured from the lead ing labor organization of Logansport, and all this nas been printed in a "blue book" and placed in the hands of every man in the county who is a member of a labor organi zation. The plac6 where -this issue will be most effective Is at Mlddletown. where the Irondale mills employ about 400 men. Not over 100 or 150 of these, however, are Repub licans. This is not a great manufacturing county, nowever, ana unless the issue would otherwise be very close the labor question raised will not cut any considerable figure. As the two candidates are approaching the wire and the situation becomes the more strained all sorts of charges are being set afloat. To-day there were charges from both sides that voters from outside counties friends of Johnson from Wayne. Fayette and Union, and friends of Watson from Rush, Hancock and Shelby will endeavor to vote at the primaries to be held Wednes day: also, that men of doubtful Republican' ism, residents of the county, will be voted on the claim that they are going to vote the Republican ticket next fall. The cooler headed ones declare that this talk of voting imported repeaters is the veriest trash. In the several voting precincts the voters are so well known that It would be useless for a nonresident to attempt to vote. Further more, while the Republicans of this county are terribly in earnest about this election, there is a sentiment for fair plav that out weighs any prejudice in favor of either candidate and it is safe to say that any attempt on the part of 'either side to intro duce into thrs contest Southern Lemocratlc methods would meet with .summary and effective resistance. Any information here as to the showing of any poll is of the most meager character. Both sides have polled the county and the claims that are made are based on the siiowing these polls make, but the leaders on both sides are too g"ood politicians to reveal what their books show. It is sard to say, however, that these two polrs would show some very glaring; discrepancies and It Is also safe to say that both polls are far from correct. Men engaged In making the polls agree that it is a much more dimcult thing to make a accurate poll as be tween two candidates within the same par ty than as between the two parties. So far as tho betting shows, the chances of the two candidates are about even. One bet of S150 even was made last Sat urday and several wagers of from ten to fifteen dollars nave been made, all at even money. A Grand Wind-Up at Knlghtstown. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. KNIGHTSTOWN. Ind.. March SO.-Perhaps the largest crowd that ever assembled In this city will be here to-morrow. The con gressional fight has reached white heat, and both the Watson and Johnson men are at war with each other as to which will give the greatest demonstration, jtfoth have taken to-day as the ilnal round-up.

The market was very mucn agitated and the price went climbing from 63!c per bushel up to 64c, while Mr. .Fara ridges brokers were clamoring for his four million bushels of short wheat. When they stopped buying tho price dropped to 63Uc Pardridge said he was very sick ana would now give up speculating. He certainly was.

LEEDS KNOCKED OUT

ALMOST PUT TO SLEEP FOR GOOD BY PUGILIST EVER1IARDT. Fifteen Rounds of Fast and Parlous Fighting Ilefore the Empire Athletic Club, of Maspeth.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. March 20. The sports inter ested in pulling off the bouts at the Empire Atbletlo Club, Maspeth, L. I., to-night re ceived a scare when Jack Everhardt put Horaco Leeds to sleep for half an hour. The fight between the light-weights was furiously fast for fourteen rounds. In the fifteenth Everhardt shot his fist, like a flash, on to Leeds's Jaw, and Horace dropped Into an unconscious heap. He was carried to his corner in a state of collapse. and after his seconds had worked over him for ten minutes they had to carry him to his dressing room without his having regained consciousness. Then a doctor was summoned and It was twenty minutes more before the light-weight was able to talk. In the meantime the sports showed much concern, evidently fearing prosecution in case the blew resulted fatally. Details of the Flaiit. MASPETH, L. I., March 30.

March CO. Senator Turr'-t "has passed the bill for the erection of a new postoflice at Indianapolis. This was fortshadowed in the Journal a few days as--The Senator's 'success cannot be construed as a reproach to Representative Henry. Under the rules of courtesy that prevail In the Senate, every Senator who makes a measure effecting his own locality his own private matter can pass it through the Senile with out the slightest difficulty. But it 1s th House which scrutinizes; the measures. Mr. Henry's bill for a public building at lniUnapolls has been ordered to a favorable re port and will be so reported, as repeatedly announced in these dispatches. Mr. Henry cannot rise superior to the Speaker of the House, who has decreed that at this esian there shall be no public buildings. InJIanapolis will get Ha public building, and will get it through the Incessant labor o: Mr. Henry. Proceedings of the Senate. (Associated Press Dispatch.) WASHINGTON. March S0.TThe Senate Is to have a revival of financial and bond discussion as a result of an animated debate shortly before the session closed to-day. Mr. Pcffer's resolution for the appointment of a special committee cf five Senators to in vestigate recent bond issues had been rele gated to the calendar owing to the opposition of Mr. Hill, but It was reached In the regular order to-day. Again Mr. Hill sought to have the resolution go over, but he was met with energetic protests not only from Mr. Peffer but also from Mr. Wolcott an4 Mr. Teller. The latter gave notice that fur ther delays would be resisted, and Mr. Peffer followed with notice that he would move, to-morrow, to proceed with this bond Inquiry resolution, as soon as Mr. George concludes a sieech on the Dupont case. This promises to bring a test vote unless dilatory tactics postpone the measure. Among the bills passed to-day were those appropriating f 2,000,000 for a public building at Indianapolis, Ind., and settling the long-pending accounts between the United States and Arkansas. Mr. Hoar, chairman of the committee oa judiciary, made an effort to pass the Houss ' bill abolishing capital punishment In certain cases as, soon as the Senate met, but after brief discussion the bill went over until tomorrow. Theo. F. Shuey and Edward T V Murphy were unanimously chosen to succeed the late Dennis F. Murphy in charge of the stenographic staff of the Senate. The bill was passed directing the Secretary of War to prepare a roll of telegraph cperators who served not less than ninery days in the military telegraph service during the war of the rebellion and to Issue to each a certificate of honorable service. Th bill has a proviso that it Is not to be construed towards carrying a penflon, bounty or like emolument. Mr. Mitchell gave notice that he would go on with the Dupont contest to-morrow. The Senate then took up the bill to approve a compromise and settlement between the United States and the State of Arkansas. The debts due from the State of Arkinsis to the United States and the claims of the State against the United States are long standing and much complicated and confused. Frequent attempts have been made from time to time to bring about an adjustment and settlement, but without success. In crdcr that all claims might be equitably adjusted and finally settled. Congress paused the law of Aug. 4, lb34, conferring authority on the Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of the Interior to compromise and settle these claims with the Governor of Arkansas. Thereupon Secretaries Carlisle and Smith effected a compromise with Governor Clark, providing that on the payment by the State cf Arkansas to the United States of the sum of $L72 in money and the payment of 10 $l.oro bonds of the State, nc.d by the United States, the State to Day in all the sum of $PK),s;2, that all claim between the United States and Arkansas be closed. In supporting the bill, Mr. Berry denounced the authors ot anonymous pamphlets circulated about Congress and expressed the brlief that the attacks emanated from a lobby maintained by the Cllssouri Pacific Railroad Company. The Senator appealed to his associates not to 'be "held up" by a powerful corporation. Mr. Gear opposed the settlement en th ground that It was unfair to the United States. The State had not come before the Senate "with clean hand?," he aserted. The Senator closed with a motion to recommit the bill to the committee on public lands for further Investigation. Mr. Peffer spoke against snd Mr. Jones, of Arkansas, for th settlement. The motion to recommit was: Yeas, 14; nays, two short cf a quorum. After securing a quorum ths motion to recommit was defeated IS to 37 and the bill passed. 2 to 14. Mr. Proctor asked that the bill approprlat. Ing $100,0u0.tX) for searoast defenses be mi'U a special order for Thursday after next. Mr. Mills Interposed an objection, and the special order was not fixed.

An unexpectel controversy arose over the r.ext measure on the calendar, which was th resolution providing for a committee of five Senators to investigate and report all the material facts and circumstances connected with the sale of United States bonds by the Secretary of the Treasury In the yearn lOl, lKSand 18. Mr. Hill suggested that this and the two following calendar measures (the Dupont case. and the ldge immigration br.! go over, as the Senate was proceeding un le r the flve-mlnute rule. Mr. Peffer. the author of the resalution. insisted on going on, and was reinforce! in his demand by Senators Wolcott and Teller. Mr. Wolcott paid It was time something was done with this resolution. If not acted on now, let Senators agree when they would act on it. Since the resolution wa introduced It had been rolled around and never brought to a vote. Mr. Telier also Insisted that there hou!l be no further delays. He was willing to wait until Wednesday at 2:3 p. m. for taking up the resolution, but Mr. Piatt cut cj an agreement by an objection. 'Then 1 serve notice on the enator from Connecticut (Piatt). said Mr. Teller warmly, "that we will take up this resolution, ani take It up very soon." Mr. Wolcott at once added: "Yes, and we will take It up now unless the Senate Is tea thin for a quorum." It looked as though a vote would be taken, but Mr. CoekreU temporized. He sail thrr? was no hurry: plenty of votes would be available to take up the resolution at the protr Mr. Wolcott went on to declare that ths objections made were not casual.
