riortem discoloration, nd lastly, thsre wert little trace or rtsor mortis." Witness was here turned over to Colonel Washington for cross-examination. Colonel Washington "Isn't it a fact that tlood would spirt ten or twelve feet in case a person was decapitated In life?" I think so under certain conditions." "When did you first notice the retraction of the skin about the neck?" "Saturday afternoon, the day the body was found." "Did the skin retract more than a third of an inch?" I think so. "Isn't it a fact that the skin when a peron is decapitated retracts between two and three inches?" "I wouldn't like to say." "Isn't it a faot that muscular life continues after death?" "I am not prepared to say." Jnt rigor mortis the death of the muscles?" "I am not prepared to answer that question." "l'ou have not made a special study of rigor mortis?" "So, sir." Will not the blood remain, fluid after death?" "Yes, sir." Dr. J. A. Jenkins was next called. He assisted at the post mortem. His testimony w5 Just the same as at the Jackson trial. Tnoughi fhe had been decapitated while alive and in pood health. On cross-examination Dr. Jenkins said he haul read of decapitation in Paris where the blood had spurted six feet. There Is very little blood in the head after decapitation. 1IT.S. STANDBY ON THE STAND. 2Iary E. Stanley, Pearl Bryan's sister, was called to the witness box. Her black-clad f Sure made a pathetic picture, and the Jurors on the back row leaned forward with Xresh interest. During Mrs. Stanley's testimony a hush rested on the court room. The Witness described the valises and all the Articles of apparel which her sister Pearl took with her as she left Greencastle for the last time. She. identified the green-checked wrapper in which the girl's bouy was found. Zt must have been a fatal garment, from what Mrs. Stanley said. She helped to make K as a lounging robe for her sister Jennie 4n Albuquerque, N. M. Jennie died and 'earl took the dress and wore It to her death. The Jewelry was Identified, as well as the hairpins found at the scene of the murder. 'Attorney Hays held the big, bloody valise before the witness's face, notwithstanding the fact that Colonel Washington admitted the facts attorney Hays was trying to establish. The apparent purpose of Mr. XI ays was to make Mr?. Stanley break llown and weep on the stand. "I think It 13 ray brother's," she said. "Describe your sister," said Hays, and the witness told of the personal characteristics d Pearl, which seemed to have little relevancy to the case. Mrs. Stanley said that Pearl had never traveled, except that he had gone to the world's fair with her brother. Upon cross-examination Colonel Washington asked for a description of Peart Bryan's cape, upon which witnesses varied greatly in tho Jackson trial. "It was a brown Alaska seal cape," said tlrs. Stanley, "reaching to Pearl's hips. It was solid fur." , Pearl's mother was the next witness. She call she 13 sixty-three year3 old. She told of her family, of her daughter Pearl, and of Ccott Jackson, who first met the girl at the ttryan homestead. Pearl corresponded with Jackson after he came to Cincinnati. found six or seven letters- and a card or two," she said, "and I nave given them to Che attorneys.'" Mrs. Bryan said she never knew Wafllng. In cross-examination to-day, especially of medical experts, the defease showed great thoroughness of preparation and much skill. No stone will be left unturned to cause a belief that Pearl Bryan was taken dead to the spot where she was found and beheaded, instead of being killed there. Meantime the prosecution seems to have reliable new evidence corroborating the story of the cabman, George IL Jackson. . The defense will put Walling on the stand and a new story of the .tragedy is expected from this defendant. JACKSOX 17f COVINGTON JAIL.

Tho Convicted Murderer Removed Much Against His Will. Cpeclal to the Indianapolis Journal. NEWPORT, Ky., June L As was told In these dispatches Satprday nig'ht, ScotfJackson wa removed to-day from Newport Jail to Covington according to orders from Judge Helm. In issuing his order this morning the Court said; "Owing to the insecurity of the Newport Jail ' I now order the defendant, Scott Jackson, to 6 tafcen by the sherof this county and conveyed to the Kenton county Jail at Covington." News of his removal having been ordered was carried to Jackson by a reporter. "I don't want to go," the prisoner said. 'I've got acquainted with these people here, but I don't know anything about them over there. I suppose I'll have to go. 1 thought I was out of the Judge's hands now and in those of the Jailer." Jackson at once sent a message to attorney Crawford to come to the Jail. Sheriff Plummer called up the Covington Jail after Judge Helm's ruling and made arrangements with Jailer McKnlght to receive Jackson. At 2 o'clock Jackson's attorneys made a last effort to keep Jackpon in the Newport Jail, and went before Judge Helm, but he would not change his order. The start from the Jail was made in a surrey drawn by one tiorse. In the surrey were anenrr I'lummer, Arthur Boden. Jailer Bitzer and Jackson. .While there -was no apparent aanjrer in re moving the prisoner, still the sheriff took no chances", and the trip was made as unosten tatious as Doss'ble. The start from the Jail was .made at 230. and Jack.on waved his hand to the crowd of two hundred people as the vehicle rolled away. "I am going to give Jackson a little air," aid Sheriff Plumrrer, as he left the Jail. The route was ever Isabella to Ninth, thence over Col jmbla to Twelfth and over the bridge to Scott. Then the surrey was driven to the lai . There was a lanre crowd present when the rig pulled up. Jackson was given a cell on the lower floor, faclnc the south. Jackson reached the Covington Jail at S."C5 p. ir.. Judge Helm had Instructed Jailer Die Knlsht. of Covington, to let nobody see Jackiron unless at the prisoner's request. Card. must be presented and If Jackson wants to see the visitors, all right. Jackson received word from his mother (Monday morning through Mrs. Dr. Lewis. of Newport, who received a letter from Mrs. Jackson saying to tell Scott, Be firm and trust." Mrs. Jackson is prostrated. Bicycle Company Assigns. CHICAGO. June 1. The March Davis Cycle Company made an assignment to-day in the county court. It schedule! assets to the mount of S60.0TO and liabilities of $70,000. Karller In the day the concern had confessed Judgment In the sum of $13.0CO. The cause of the failure Is said to have been Inability on the part of the company to collect outstand ing bills and to dispose of Its manufactured stock- It manufactured but one grade of whee'.s, and this wa of a hlsh-prlcfd quality. Competition with the cheaper grades of wJcels was too much for the company. . A lieu. Discovery by the Shakers For more than a hundred years .the ilount Lebanon Shakers have studied the cultivation of medical plants and sought to extract from them their healing essences. Their labor has not been spent in vain. Tbey have made a discovery that will prove a blesslr.gr to mankind. It consists of a cordial that -causes immediate relief in cases of Indlsrestion, The Importance of this discovery will be apparent when we realize that nearly nine-tenths of our sufferings are caused by dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly every rerson you meet has this digestive trouble In some of Its varied forms sick headache, distress. after eating, pain and fulness of the chest after eating, palpitation of the heart, etc., are but symptoms of indigestion. To relieve these sufferings has been the study of the Shakers, and . they have- succeeded. The reason the Shaker DIgestlvfe Cordial has such an Immediate and salutary effect Is that It causes the food eaten to be digested, for It is undigested food that caus?s distress. The Cordial causes the foot to be digested before there is time for it to ferment and suur on the stomach. When the food is so digested it gives strength and vigor to the feeble tody, makes one feel bright and cheerful, and makes one irain in flesh. The Digestive Cordial is so prompt In Its action that the very first dose will have a perceptibly favorable result. It gives Immediate relief. . . Every druggist has been sent a supply of our handsome Donkey Puzzle Books, and a copy may be had for the asking. It tells ell about the Cordial as well as Laxol. the tw castor oil. Try a twenty-five cest bottle of Digestive Cardial and see what It will do for you.

DUEL ON THE STREET

FATHERS OP LEDAXOX HLOTEItS IIAAT3 A FATAL OVARnCL. Mrs. William Moore Falls Dead In Blue River Church Tvlth Her Baby In Her Arms State Xevrs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, , Ind., June L The quarrel of Thomas Allen and Wallace Riley over the elopement last Saturday of their chlllren, an account of which was given in Sunday's Journal, resulted in a tragic sequel on the streets of Lebanon to-day. Both men met at the postofllce and fought a duel across the sidewalk, Riley falling dead with three bullets in his body, and Allen's little boy has a bullet in his leg from Riley's weapon. Both men were prominent and wealthy citizens of the county. Allen had come to town with his fourteen-year-old boy on his regular Monday business trip. He urent to the'postoffice at 8:30 o'cloclr. to get his mall, and left the building in com pany with J. M. Armstrong, an Insurants agent. At the doorway they came face to face with Riley, who had threatened to shoot Allen last Saturday after he learned of the elopement of bis twen-ty-three-year-old daughter with Allen's son, who is yet a minor. Riley was excited and angry. Seeing Allen he at once drear a revolver and ex clalmed: ' Tom Allen, defend yourself, you!" Mr. Armstrong sprang forward and grasped Riley and exclaimed: "This will never do, Riley. Put up your gun." Riley, with an oath, and furious as a "wild animal, wrenched his arm from Armstrong's grasp and flred at Allen. The bullet flew wI2e, and It Is believed It is the one that struck young Allen In the leg. The boy was seated In his father's buggy, near the sidewalk. Allen realized that ft was either his life or Riley's, and, drawing a weapon, cried to Armstrong to let go his hold on Riley. Allen then fired, four shots almost as fast as he could pull the trigger. Riley was stunned by the first shot and fell without attempting to return the fire. Two cf Allen's shots took effect. One struck Riley, In the left side, passed through a notebook and imbedded Itself In the flesh. The othT penetrated the forehead Just above the left eye. The victim fell to the sidewalk and expired in a few momenta It is not certain who shot Allen's son. Allen was immediately arrested and placed in Jail. He refused to discuss the tragedy further than to say: "No one regrets this affair more than I do. I did only what any man would have done under similar circumstances. I had to shoot to save my life. I saw Riley meant murder, but I did not fire until after be had shot once." The body of Riley was Temoved to Bechtell's undertaking establishment, where the coroner's Inquest was held' this afternoon. The Allen boy was taken to the office of Dr. Fitch, where the bullet was removed from his leg and the wound dressed. The trouble which culminated In to-day's tragedy originated some three months ago, when Harry Allen, the seventeen-year-old son of Thomas Allen, began to keep company with Miss Jess4e Riley, the. daughter of Wallace Riley. Both families opposed the affair, and on several occasions had held conferences on how to put a stop to it. Saturday the young folks came to town, and Justice Long, a friend .of young Allen, vouched for him in getting a marriage license Srom Deputy Clerk J. II. Berryhill. The couple then went to the Rev. Mr. Williamson, who performed the marriage ceremony. That afterLOon young Allen's father met Mr. Riley on North Lebanon street, in this city. The latter stopped him and said: "Tom, I have a little difficulty to settle with you. Tour son stole my girl." Allen replied that he could not help what the boy had done. Riley, who has the reputation of being a hot-headed individual, Insisted that Mr. Allen was to blame, and that the matter should be settled then and there. Allen asked if iRlley meant to "shoot it out." Riley replied: "That's exactly what I mean." Allen said he had no revolver, but if Riley would wait untir he secured one the difficulty would be settled as Riley desired. Riley consented to the fatal agreement, and the two men then and there went to Hooton's hardware store to secure weapons and fight a duel. Here they were separated by the marshal and several friends before they could carry out their purpos?. Since that time each had gone armed and on the lookout for the other. Allen bears a god reputation as a peaceable man and law-abiding citizen. Riley, on the contrary, was of a quarrelsome disposition, and had participated in several shooting affairs. 1 About two years ago he shot and seriously wounded Robert McCoy and his son, both prominent residents of Washington township. In 1$S2 he shot at James White, a member at that time of the county Democratic central committee. He was one of the most prominent leaders of the mob two years ago that attempted to hang the negro Jim Hall, who assaulted a white woman. It is reported, too. that on several occasions he had boasted that he had killed a man in Ken tucky, it is known that on Saturday afternoon he threatened to kin Deoutv Clerk J. M. Berryhill for issuing the license to the young couple. The blame for the tragedy is vy aimosi every one piacea on itiiey. He leaves a Wife and two daughters, one of whom is the wife of Allen's son.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., June LThe Salamonle river, in the northern part of the county, has been polluted with oil to such an extent for about eight miles below Montpelier that the' fish are dying. This year the river is covered a great deal more with oil and more briny with salt water than usual for at least ten miles below Warren. The oil comes into the river from all directions, and is that portion that escapes from the tanks and wells. This oil flnds its way in the ditches and low places, and when the heavy rains fall It flows Into the river. The oil and salt water are fatal to the German carp. Black bass do not seem to mind it. Some of the older fishermen who have given the subject some study claim that If the proportion of salt water continues to increase the bass will gradually become salty and unfit for food. They also Jocularly assert that the small fish that are not killed by the pollution will doubtess turn to sardines, and that the oil tends to cure them, so that dealers will have only to box them for the trade.

USED BY A MOB OP GEORGIANS TO PUT TWO COLORED MEN TO DEATH. One Nearro Taken from the Court Room and the Other from the Jail Both Accused of Assault. COLUMBUS. Ga., June 1. At 10:43 o'clock this morning a mob cfslx hundred armed men broke Into the Webster Building during the trial of Jesse Slayton, charged with assaulting Mrs. Howard Bryan last Thursday, and took the prisoner from the officers. Slay ton's trial had already begun behind locked doors, and a heavily-armed guard of men was present to protect the prisoner from any demonstration of violence. The mob forced the doors, and, with a resistless rush, swept back the spectators and guards and aeUed and carried te negro out Into the street. A rope was placed around Slayton's neck and be was dragged up Broad street, the crowd shooting a Mm as they went along. -Near tho bell tower they swung the negro up and perforated hinx with bullets. After this the mob as coolly and deliberately as In the first instance, went immediately to the courthouse and overpowered the Jailer, took Will Miles, a. negro charged with assaulting .Mrs. Albright, two years ago, and marched him slowly to where Slayton's lifeless body was hanging from, a tree. The trembling negro was made to look on the fate of his brother in crime, then a rope wa9 placed about his neck and he was slowly suspended In the air and his body filled with bullets. The bodies of the two negroes were left hanging during the afternoon and a surging mass of humanity was packed around the scene. Tho greatest excitement prevails here, and especially among the negroes, and It is not Improbable that further trouble will ensue. Mrs. Howard 1 Bryan was assaulted at Clapp's factory, four miles from here, early on Thursday morning. She is a young woman, not over eighteen years of age. Her husband left home for Columbus about daybreak. Shortly after he left a big, burly negro entered Mrs. Bryan's private room and succeeded in assaulting her.

Regardless of her condition, Mrs. Bryan rushed to the door and tired two pistol shots at the negro, . without effect. In a short time Mr. Bryan returned, and, on being apprised of the crime, rushed immediately back to Columbus, and, with the sheriff and an armed posse, began to scour the woods for tho negro, who was soon captured. TENNESSEEANS CELEBRATE. Centennial Anniversary of the Admission of the State Into the' Union. NASHVILLE, Tenn., June L Tennessee's centennial celebration began to-day. Though rainstorms had disfigured and bedraggled the ornate ( decorations with which the-cltyha(i'-Leen adorned; though flags and bunting had lost their colors, and though rain at intervals fell all during the morning, forcing the postponement of the grand parade, thousands of people from all portions of the' State held their places on the line of march waiting for the procession.

Returns from the elections held in Oregon to-day are coming in slowly. From present indications the Legislature will be Republican by a large majority. The Republicans have twelve hold-over Senators in the Legislature, the Populists two and the Democrats one. The Republicans, therefore, will have to elect only four Senators out of fifteen in order to have a majority in the Senate. The State central committee claims twelve out of the fifteen, leaving only six Senators to the Populists and Democrats, out of a total of thirty. In the last House the Democrats were not represented, and the Populists had only four members out of sixty. It is conceded by the Democrats and Pop ulists that Bean, Republican, for Supreme Judge, will have at least 5,000 plurality. Tongue, Republican, for Congress, in the First district, is undoubtedly elected. In the Second district for Congressman the contest U close and complete returns will be re quired to decide. Indications are that exGovernor Pennoyer has been elected Mayor. of this city. The greatest Interest Is centered in the election of tho Congressmen In the Second district, where H. H. Northup (Rep.) ran as an Independent candidate on a goldstandard platform. The regular Republican Democratic and Populist nominees are all well-known adherents of the free coinage of silver. In this city very bitter feeling was engendered by a split In the Republican party, and soon after the opening of the polls several fights occurred. Scores of special, police and deputy sheriffs were sworn In, the police having been arrayed on the side of the Mitchell (Rep.) ticket, while the deputy sheriffs were working In the interest of the regular Republican ticket. UNITED PRESBYTERIANS. General Assembly Goes on Record as Favoring Instrumental Music. XENIA, O., June 1. On meeting this morning the United Presbyterian General Assembly took up the . instrumental-music memorial of Dr. D. W. Car3on and decided by a large majority not to place his protest on record, but to reject it altogether, the assembly having pronounced In favor of allowing Instrumental music. The committee on bills and. overtures reported the vote of presbyteries on seminary control 82 ayes and 20 nays and the assembly enacted the overture as a part of the constitutional law of the church authorizing the General Assembly to confirm or veto the election of professors to anyof the theological seminaries and to remove for unsoundness of doctrine. A telegram was received from the Presbyterian Assembly in session at Saratoga stating that It had taken action favoring co-operation in home-missionary work. On recommendation of the committee on co-operation with the reformed synod of the South the assembly adopted resolutions favoring such plans and rules for co-operation of the boards of home-missionary work and church extension of the two churches as could be made, effective. The matter of national reform and placing God in the Constitution, a movement that had its origin in Xenla thirty years ago, took up a considerable portion of the time toJay and was vigorously discussed. An important side issue of the assembly was the alumni banquet of the Westminster Seminary held in Xenia Seminary, a large attendance being present. Rev. Wr. S, Owens presided and the following were made honorary members: Revs. J. S. Andrew of Brooklyn. E. S. McKlttrick of Los Angeles, J. A. Collins of Chicago, J. W. B. Edgar of Philadelphia, and J. H.

Saturday's battle between the Pennsylvania and New York. German 'conservatives against what they consider the encroachments of the voting people's societies which are supported in the English liberal synods, was almost again precipitated by an effort on the part of the conservatives for the coercion of th9 press, which gave the details of Saturday's debate. In the evening ihe committee on home missions submitted some Important resolutions, which were adopted. A hundred-lhousand-dollar fund was established for church extension in North Carolina and the West. Large missions will be established among the 100,000 Poles and 70,000 Bohemians of Chicago.

The steamer Bermuda sustained a set-hack to-day when Captain Clippertorf, the British consul at this port, notified Collector of the Port Read that he had canceled the steamer's registration papers. This action was taken as a consequence of advices received from the British minister at Washington. The reason given is that the vessel is in part owned by foreigners. It fs believed, however, that the reputation of the boat as a filibuster has had something to do with it. Movements of Steamers. NEW YORK. June 1.

The park will be open to the public and no admission will be charged to the grounds, but an admission of 25 cents will be charged to the theater.

At the regular meeting of the West Indianapolis Council last night the treasurer's report of receipts and expenditures for the last year was read. A number of miscellaneous bills amounting to $2S.C2 were allowed; also a bill for the last quarter from the Indianapolis WTater Company for $862.50 and one from the Indianapolis Light and Power Company for $110.80. T. P. Overman was elected school trustee for the Second ward, and T. J. Elliott was elected to fill the unexpired term of School Trustee S. A. Morgan, of the First ward, who had removed from the city. . An ordinance providing for the licensing of 'riding galleries, merry-o-rounds and like concerns was passed through the second reading. The license fee was flxed at $50 a month and such concerns allowed to run until 11 o'clock on Saturday nights and until 10 o'clock the other nights of the week except Sunday. In case they become harmful or a nuisance the Mayor has power to revoke their license. An ordinance providing for paving of both sides of Ashland street, from Oliver avenue to South street, by cement sidewalks was also passed through the second reading. The Division-street property owners petitioned the Council for water mains from Oliver to Woodburn avenue. The peUtton was referred to the committee on safety and comfort. President Hoyt, of the police board, had asked for information regarding persons having city liquor license, and during the discussion, it developed that one man had paid for a license, but it had not been issued because he had no county license, and the question whether he was dcing business without license remained unanswered. The Council adjourned to meet again in special session next Monday night The funeral of Mrs. Henry Hagedon, wife of ex-Treasurer Hagedon, of West Indianapolis, occurred yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. tMrs. Hagedon was a very prominent member of several secret societies in the suburb, and the funeral was one of the largest attended that has ever taken place there.

He has a wife and three children, and his wife Js greatly worried becau?o she has received no word from her husband. The suppos-irioa has been advanced that he had probably gone out of the city to look for work, and that he would send word soon. Mrs. Meek and pupils will give a musical and literary entertainment to-nitfnt at Spencer's Opera House, West Indianapolis. The new Democratic firemen took pojfvssloa of the West Indianapolis engine house Sunday at midnight, and their Republican predecessors, they say, treated them like gentlemen and wished them every success. The oil firemen exerted themselves to clean th house and apparatus as clean as possible before their successors assumed control, and the change took place without excitement or Ill-feeling. One of the Democratic councilmen of West Indianapolis published v a statement that they, the Democratic councilmen, had made a saving for the d'y of 1540 'by the new fee and salary ordinance.

B. Flick, county school superintendent, who has commenced to erect a dwelling house oa the north side of Glen drive midway between Gale and Staten streets at a point where they wished to plat an alley. The alley was platted and damages nxed by a lormer board about five years ago and ali interested property owners accepted damages at that tims with the exception of Mr. r lick, who carried his case into the courts and secured a de cision in his favor owinp to irregularities In platting the alley. Over a year ego a committee was appointed to condemn and appraise Che property, but It faiied to make a report before the time of limitation had outlawed the committee, and now the trustees are hustling around to see what they, can do to prevent the continuation of work on the building, which is already framed. OOMKTIMES the most careful women are the ' most careless. Many a woman bundles herself up, puts cn heavy clothing; and wraps and furs to keep out the cold to Jteep out sickness when she is neglecting the very worst sickness that can come to a wo.inan. She is allow 'iag a Slight disorder to crow, to become; worse, to slowly and 6urely sap her vitality. The little paia and the other slight indications of trouble seem to her unimportant. Sho pays no attention to them. By and by they grow a little worse, but she is used to them then and tak them as a matter of course. t By and by, they tare gicmu into dragging pains that occasionally keep her in the bpuse-that occasionally put her to bed. Then she knows what is the matter, but she won't go to a doctor because she knows he will infit on "examinations" and "local treatment" She goes on, with increasing suffering, until life itself becomes a drajr. Nervousness, "sinking spells," digestive disturbances, ;and fifty other complications may arise from the same cause. Frequently such symptoms are treated as digestive diseases when the root of the whole matter it the -derangement of the organs distinctly feminine.

Pierce, then, as now, chief consulting physician to the World's Dispensary and Invalids' Hotel, at Bufialo. N. Y. He prepared Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the most wonderfully effective remedy that has ever been used for such maladies. Its sale notr exceeds the combined sales of all other medicines for women. Its effect is perceptible almost immediately.
