The rain had ni.'i - the roads sticky and the exertion of coining in from Broad Hippie was unusually jrrr .it. (cn at a moderate rate of speed. Mr. r.ornian reached heme very tired and was pufling hard from his labor. He is verj lVhy and was exceedingly worm. He put his on the front porch, and sat down on the edge of the porch to pet his breath ar.d cool off a little before going in to supj.. r. He sat a moment and then fell forward on his face.

"Witnesses of th- accident say he was not to blame, the accident being unavoidable. .MAY LOSK HOTIl EVES. Henry lemler Wanted to See Why the 1'owuVr Didn't Uxplode. The small son of Henry Niemier, living west of the city, was frightfully burned yesterday afternoon by the explosion of gunpowder. He had a can full of the explosive and was using it to tire off a small cannon. This sport b'-eame tame after a while and the i,oy decided to rire the whole can. He stepped the end tip with mud, inserted a fuse and lighted it. He ran away and waited a while, but the thing failed to go of?. This was b- cause the mud had dampened the powder in the fuse. It did not extinguish the tire, however, and when the boy returned anil bent over the can to see what was wrong, the explosion occurred. It was not a very hard explosion, but there was lots of powder and lots of Hash and the boy got the benefit of it all. Jt l":rned his face terribly. The loss of both eyes may result, though it could not be determined how great the injuries may be. MIST AliliX FOIl A TUAMI J. W. Ud;ey Suy He Wn Kicked from u Panhandle Train.

Kdgey says he was going to NobUsvllle and had given his ticket to the conductor. He started Into the smoker and reached the platform, when a brakeman kicked him off tne train. There were some t ramus trying to steal a ride and Kdgey thinks lie was mistaken for one of them by the trainmen. FIIICCIKACKUIIS IX IIIS POCKET. I And the Skin on Chariot BeckinnnVs Hack Cnme OiT.

ESCAPE OF TWO WOMEN. The Weaker Sex at the IVorkhocse Take tt Turu. Tv.-o prisoners escaped from the workhouse fast evening about 7 o'clock. They were Nannie Farrington and Eliza Allen, two colored women, who were there for assault and battery upon each other. About three wetks ago the women got into a light on the Yellow bridge at Michigan street over the tanal. They pulled hair and fought all the way from the bridge to Alabama street. A policeman, returning from roll call, happened along at this time and the women ran and escaped. The Farrington woman was caught the next day, but it was not until Thursday that Eliza Allen was located. They were tried in Police Court Friday and lined $10 and costs, which they failed to pay and went to the workhouse. Last evening Matron Wheatley detailed these two wemen to carry some water into the women's department of the workhouse. It is the usual thing about that hour of tho evening and wisoners are chosen for the work who aiu serving terms for minor oher.ses and who live in the city, usually. -Mrs. Wheatley accompanied the women to the well to draw tho water. They started to return, when the women dropped the p;dis and run. Mrs. "Wheatley called for help ;;nd the guards followed the women and reached the fence behind them Just In time to at'.thcm skurrying away ia the distance, having pulled a picket irom the fence. Tho women succeeded in eluding their pursuers and made their escape good. At 'j::i) o'clock last night the Famngton woman ran?? the bell at the front entrance to the workhouse and asked that she be taken in again. The other woman was not cap tured. STATE SOLDIERS'' HOME FOKMAL DEDICATION AXD TRANSFER OF THE INSTITUTION. SncechcH hy Governor Matthew, Gen. Lew Wallace, Commander AVuIker, General Curnalmn nud Other:. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind.. July 4.-To-day the State Soldiers' Home, near this city, was dedicated. The attendance vas very large, and all sorts of vehicles were employed to take the people from the city to the home grounds. Before 8 o'clock the line cf wagons tended In that direction. While the larger part of the people were from the immediate vicinity, the attendance from different Darts of the State was so large as to indicate that the people have a deep L interest in the new State Soldiers' Home. The grounds were tastefully decorated, while the forest trees afforded a grateful shade. Long before 10 o'clock there were literally acres of horses and carriages in tho surrounding forests. The trustees met the Govcrncr and other distinguished visitors on the toy of the hill on which the home is located. The exercises began at 10 o'clock, with music by the Lafayette Hand. After further music and prayer, Col. 11. V. Do Hart delivered an address of welcome. Into it he wove the romance and the beauty of the location and the noble design of the dnsiitutlon. Colonel De Hart introduced General Carnahan, chairman-of the board of trustees, who gave an interesting account of the Inception and establishment of the Soldiers' Home. He clearly outlined Its purpose and set forth all that has been accomplished. In conclusion he turned the grounds over to Governor Matthews, the representative of the State. Governor Matthews followed in an address which showed careful preparation. He spoke in high terms of the veterans of Indiana, referred to the part which they took in suppressing the Debs strike, an. proved the purpose of the Soldiers' Home, and heartily commended the trustees for their ethciency in so prudently expending the State's appropriation. General Lew Wallace was the next speaker. As he rose he was generously appiauded. He referred to General Carnahan as one of tho soldiers he had made before the war ami then proceeded to give an interesting description of the soldiers of European nations, all of which he had seen. They had discipline, he said, but they lacked the personality of the American volunteer and his capacity to do things all things and Indomitable persistence as a fighter. The Army of the Potomac was engaged in four years of terrible lighting, but one Sunday morning there was an Appomattox. He told an amusing story of two vomnteers who made plates to issue forged money of the Confederacy. He held that it could be no harm to heip ruia the credit of the Confederacy by debasing its currency if it was permitted to shoot its so'diers. There were those who saw an aplication in the Illustration. Commander-in-chief Walker's address, which was next, was an eloquent lesson drawn from. the day and the history of the Republic. He was frequently applauded. Department Commander Caylor set forth the duties of the Cirand Army to the Soldiers Home and what the institution should be. Mrs. Mary A. Sims, president of the Indiana Department of tne W. K. C, guve a history of the rise and progress of that most useful auxiliary of the Grand Army in its great work, btie briefly summed up the work which the corps has done for the home and pledged its assistance to the utmost for tha future. Mrs. Sims was attended by Mrs. Agnes Hitt, Mrs. Ella D. Zinn, Mrs. Mcliride. Mrs. Nettie Hansford and Miss Alexander Hitr. of this city. Mrs. H. M. Caylor and other prominent ladies of the W. It. C were present. Mrs. Etta A. Tolby, president of the Indiana Department of tne Ladies of the G. A. K.. made an address, pledging co-operation in the future as in the past. After the exercises were over, a lunch was served In the dining hall to representatives from a distance. After the luneh. Speaker Adams and other members of the last Legislature spoke briefly, congratulating th State and the Grand Army on the success which had attended the establishment of the institution. The visitors then inspected the public buildings, the cottages and viewed the grounds. All expressed satisfaction and surprise at what has been accomplished in so short a time with so little money. There is a great need for cottages, and the zeal which some of the smaller counties have displayed makes the neglect of some of the larger out?, who send the mcst beneficiaries, very marked. All of the trustees, J. R. Carnahan. D. N. Foster, James 13. Wallace, J. B. McDonald and C. J. Murphy, were present. The pub-lie-spirited citizens of Lafayette showed a most commendablo interest In caring for the visitors. . . , A meeting of the board of officers of the Indiana Commandery of the Loyal Legion was held at the State Soldiers' Homo yesterday afternoon. A number of members were present in the consultation. General Wallace presided. His words were: "The Legion will build this library building." It was voted to press the work of securing subscriptions. General Wallace said that during the autumn he would devote a dozen lectures to the securing of the fund if It should then seem necessary. Thus far $723 of tho $".',0X which must be raised by subscription, has been pledged. Who Vny tor the Silver Campaign! Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) The silver campaign is an expfnslve affair. No previous Democratic convention ever cost as much to its members and to the general public as the present aggressive movement of the silver trust, and its political supporters have expended in the preliminary movements to control the convention that is to meet in Chicago next week The money comes from the proprietors of the silver bonanzas. Their gains are enormous from the advance of a cent or two an ounce on the prhv of silver caused by political demonstrations in favor of free coinage. Their prospective gains are fabulous.

LYNCHING IN MARYLAND

SIDXCV RAIVDOLPII, A MSGflO, TAKES Fit O 32 JAIL BY A MASKED MOD, Dragged to n Wagon, Carted to a Tree and Hanged Chnrffed with m. Little Girl! .Murder. ROCKVILLE, Md., July 4.-Si2ney Randolph, a negro charged with the murder of little Sadie Buxton, and with brutal assaults with intent to commit murder on the girl's father, mother and elder sister during the night of May 23, at the home of the Buxtons, near Galthersburg, was lynched before daylight this morning by a mob of determined men, "who overcame the sheriff and. forced him to surrender the keys of the jail. Tho negro protested his Innocence of the criny to the last. This makes the second lynching in Maryland within two weeks Joseph Cocking, a white man, in jail on a charge of murdering his wife, having been killed by a mob a short time ago. About 2:30 o'clock this morning Charles II. M. Peyton, jailer of Montgomery county, was aroused from his sleep by loud rappings at the front door of the jail. When he inquired who was there he was told to open the door to receive a prisoner. He did so and found confronting him a mob of twenty or thirty, masked men. He quickly slammed the door in their faces and locked It, only to have it broken down a few minutes later. The men rushed In and demanded that he unlock the cell door. Meeting a refusal they leveled revolvers at Peyton's head and directed him to hand over his keys, which he did promptly. The affair was well planned, for the mob proceeded at once to Randolph's cell. The negro was an exceedingly powerful man, over six feet tall and muscular. There must have been a hard struggle to secure him, the cell floor being covered with bloody marks. Prisoners in adjoining cells say that he strongly protested his innocence and begged for his life. The mob gave no heed to these pleadings, but gagged him and then dragged him to a vehicle in waiting and drove out of town. A hangman's knot wts tied around the negro's neck and soon afterward his lifeless body was swinging from a convenient tree. On the morning of May all Maryland, within fifty miles of Washington, was startled by news that during the night one or more intruders had entered the home of Mr. Buxton, a miller of Gaithersburg, and had murderously assaulted the head of the household, his wife and two daughters with an ax while they were asleep. It was feared that all four might die, but though terribly injured, all recovered save the youngest daughter. Suspicion pointed to Sidney Randolph, a negro, who was found near Gaithersburg. unable to give a satisfactory account of himself. It was supposed that he had been instigated to the deed by a companion named Neale. just released from tho penitentiary, whither he had been sent chiefly through testimony given by Mr. Buxton, 'whose life he had threatened. Neale. however, could not be connected with the crime and was released, while Randolph was committed to jail to await trial, a coroner's jury having found that Sadie Buxton came to her death from the effect of an ax in the hands of Randolph and that som? one unknown was accessory to the deed. There has been frequent threats to lynch both Neale and Randolph. A Murderer's Confession. CINCINNATI, July 4. William Haas, who killed Mrs. Brader at Covedale, made a confession to-day. He is not mentally bright, and his story was halting and rambling, full of declarations that he could not remember exactly what he did. He said, however, that Mrs. Brader passed through his room about 1 o'clock in the morning on her way downstairs. As she passed he jumped out of bed and assaulted her. She fought him with all her strength, but he finally got the razor and out her throat. He then put on his good clothes and went away. Ho said he could not tell why he did it. The whole thing seemed like" "a dream to him. STOCKS HEAVY IN TONE rrilt'IIASES FOR LONDON ALL THAT SAVEDW I1IG DECLINE. The Principal Loksch Ilnngred from 4 Per Cent. In Durlinjrton to 9 ler Cent, in Pullman. NEW YOPJC. July 4. - The week just closed has been marked by a highly nervous temper in financial circles, which at times caused the market to verge on demoralization. In fact, In the judgment of competent observers, repetition of the panicky conditions and disastrous slump in values that occurred in December of last year was only averted by a happy and unexpected turn. The sustaining Influence came from London, whence heavy pool orders for American' securities were distributed. The buying was estimated at about 1CO.0OO shares, out of which amount about CO.000 to 25.000 shares are understood to have been shipped to London to-day. The stocks selected were active ones and principally St. Paul. Louisville & Nashville and Atchison. This development mitigated the force of a number of unfavorable influences which had provoked liquidation on a heavy scale and pronounced bear activity. The apparent entire absence of support and the ease with which the pricts of some of the industrials were depressed emboldened the traders, and their aggressive movements were attended by the circulation of gloomy rumors, most of which were later proved to have no foundation in fact. Chicago Gas achieved prominence after a long spell of inactivity by decided animation and weakness, resulting in the marketing of a large block of stock that had been held by Interests formerly identified with the management cf the property. An extreme decline of 10 per cent, took place and the stock left off at ZTiit a net loss of i per cent. Sugar also worked 'consideraoiy lower, breaking t3i per cent., to 100T. and closed at luVV The lack of the powerful support usuany manifested in this stock serves to confirm the current rumors that the insiders favor a lower level. Subsequent declines occurred in the coalers and other shares, including many of the usually Inactive list. Pilncipal declines at the low points other than those noted were in Pullman, 9; New Jersey Central, 68: Delaware & Hudson, 6'i; Manhattan, 6; General Electric. 5; Illinois Steel and Rock Island, 5S: Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred, o1;-. Colorado Fuel, 6: Consolidated Gas. 42: C.. C. C. & St. L.. Northwest and Lackawanna, 4li. and Burlington, 4 per cent. The heavy London purchases were reflected in a sagging tendency to the sterling exchange market, with demand ottered in some Instances at Jt.OSi. The market steadied under the buying and substantial recoveries were made in a number of cases, due chiefly to covering. Toward the close, however, further recessions occurred on sales. The closing was heavy in tone, but with prices generally a point cr thereabouts above the extreme low points. The sales were l,Cf5,4S7 shares. The railway bond market was rather quiet considering the increased animation in the stock market. Prices displayed a sagging tendency with the speculative Issues foremost. Firmness was apparent at Intervals, but the net results show general losses which were, however, of mcst consequence in the less active mortgages. The transactions were $2,346,000. Government bonds were under pressure throughout on a fair volume of business. The new fours displayed the greatest heaviness, reacting to 11C The sales were 52u3.C00. State bonds were dull and without feature, the dealings being confined to ?20,003 Virginia threes at slight changes. Silver certl?cate3 were less active and ruled lower under realizing sales. The foreign Inquiry abated considerably until near the close, when the lower range induced continental purchases at G$fjG3. The sales were JG1C.00O . No Life on the Moon.

no change . of any description, has been noticed by the keen and trained eyes which have jealously scrutinized its surface from the time of the first telescopic efforts to the present we are compelled to conclude that there are no people who live in the moon. The wonderful combination of mountain and crate-, valley and peak. Is, after all. only a vast graveyard: and if living beings ever roamed over its plains and navigated its great seas, now dry, or frc zen with appalling cold, they have been gathered to the nations of the dead: and all traces of them having vanished, the tall shafts of the mountains watch over their last resting place, and, with the crater rings, constitute their eternal and magnificent mausoleum.

July 4. People who have been accustomed to think that Myron King. Governor Matthews'? private secretary, has no particular value outside of his good looks, have been making a serious blunder. If they could see Myron up here, "right In the midst of the push." they would change their minds in short order. For the work ho is doing for the Matthews boomers no better man could be found. His genial garrulity has given every newspaper man in town a soft side for tho Matthews boom. No matter how busy he is with various little detrils he is always willing to stop and tell all. he knows, and as he doesn't know anything about the larger movements involving the interests of the Matthews candidacy what he tells Is perfectly harmless. It was worth two or three times the price of admission to see him In the tolls of a female reporter this morning. Occasionally an Eastern newspaper, rich enough to indulge in the luxury of Idiocy, 'will send a female reporter to conventions, just to show the public how the female mind sizes up these things. It was one of these that fell afoul of Myron at the Matthews headquarters this morning. She was' a sweet, innocent, pretty and, withal, very helpless bit of femininity, and the great heart of Myron went out to her at once. He told her what a great and good man Matthews Is and what a tremendous effort they were making to nominate him. When he had finished and the sweet young thing had taken laborious notes on all he had said, she looked up with a -baby stare" and asked: 'Are you managing the campaign of this Mr. Matthews?" 'Well ah you might say that I am in charge ah of the Matthews headquarters!" This last word came out when Myron became aware that others In the room were hearing the conversation, and he blushed like a schoolboy. In matters of routine detail Myron is worth double his salary. He has collected all the available information for the use of the delegation in visiting other States, keeps track of all visitors to headquarters, hustles alter tickets for the Indiana boomers and shows a commendable disposition to let questions of policy In controlling the action cf the delegation upon this point or that be determined by the older heads, while he confines his energies to the work he flnd3 before him. R. M. S. ALTGELD FOR BLAND. Illinois Governor Forced to Show Ilia Colors Various Dooms. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CHICAGO, July 4. The most Important development this evening at the headquarters of the various presidential booms Is the announcement that Governor Altgeld has been compelled to show his colors.. lie

oi-

has been fairly cornered by men who are determined to know under which flag the Illinois Governor intends to sail, and to them he has stated that he. Is for Mr. Bland. This is an Important statement if It Is still true when the forty-eight votes of Illinois are cast, for AltRcld unquestionably is sole master of the delegation. Consequently, the Bland people are highly elated to-night, and their claim that the Missouri man is the strongest candidate in the field is undoubtedly true. It seems reasonable to concede, too, that Mr. Bland will lead all other candidates on the first ballot. At the McLean headquarters Beriah Wilkins, who, curiously enough, is in eharge of that boom, is showing a telegram he has just received from Messrs. Gompers and Prescott. the presidents, respectively, of the Federation of Labor and of the Typographical Union, ' in which Mr. McLean is indorsed as the friend of organized labor and, therefore, entitled to its support. The coterie of Republican Senators who aro handling the Teller movement have succeeded in creating so much stir that Mr. Teller's name is frequently heard in connection with the presidential nomination. It is said by those persons at the Sherman House whose voice. is authoritative In silver matters that Mr. Teller's development of strength is desirable as offering a good reason why be should be promised the Secretaryship of the Treasury, but that at the present time it is still the hope of tho managers to nominate a Democrat. There will be a transient Pattlson boom in a day or two. L. G. WEATHER FORECAST. Fair To-Day, and Warmer on Monday Afternoon or Mlit. WASHINGTON, July 4.

Peoria Rubber & 58 & 00 North Pennsylvania HARMONY IS LACKING DISSKSIONS AXD JKALOISIHS IN EMPI2UOR WILLIAM'S CAIII.NCT. Many Chances Probable Ilefore the Ileiehstai; Reassemble Li's Visit to Germany. (Copyrighted. ISM. by the Associate.! Press.) BKRLIN, July 4. Rumors have been current throughout the week of another Cabinet crisis, and in the Reichstag the most extravagant reports. were credited. But inquiries made in good quarters show that, with the exception of the resignation of Baron Von Derlepsch. the Minister of Commerce, already recorded, there will be no further changes until after the return of the Emperor. Before the Reichstag reassembles, however, there will be some other ministerial changes. His Majesty Is greatly annoyed at the signal parliamentary failures which the Mfnlster for War, Gen. Bionsart Von Schellendorf, and Dr. Bo?se, the Minister of Public Instruction, have made during the session, and there is also a lack of harmony in tbe Cabinet. The Chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe, is too slow and conservative for the taste of some, while the jealousy existing between Mr. Miguel, the Prussian Minister of Finance, and Count Posadowsky, Secretary of the Imperial Treasury, in finances, and the enmity felt by others for Dr. Von Boettlch. r, the Secretary of State for the Interior, prevents smoothness. Prince Hohenione's health is also bad. and it Is known that before the Emieror's departure for Kiel the Chancellor requested to be relieved of his ohlcial burdens, but the Emperor declined for the time being, expressing the hope that the Prince's health would imptove and enable him to remain in oflice. Prince Louis of Bavaria, who raised a storm In Germany by his protests at Moscow against being classed as a follower of Prince Henry of Prussia, who represented the Emperor William at the coronation fetes, has had an Interview with the Emperor at Kiel. It was brought about by "the Prince Regent and lasted twenty minutes. His Majesty was reserved and haughty,and expressed no direct criticism of Prince Louis's sensational Moscow speech. Tho Prince, instead of remaining with his regiment at Augustburg. as had been intended, has len ordered by his father to proceed to his Hungarian estate, as a sort of mild banishment. At the launching of the new German Ironclad, Frederich III, the Emperor, while inspecting the vessel, remarked: "I hope I may yet see a German navy worthy of the German army." The radical newspapers contrast his Majesty's well-known desire for a big navy with the peaceful aspiration speech on the same occasion. Generally, however, the press avoid3 the subject. The big navy agitntlon Is not popular and any attempt in that direction will cause severe contlicts In the Reichstag. Ll Hung Chang has been received with the greatest enthusiasm and hospitality in Germany, but he departed, leaving grlefs and disillusions behind him. Great things were hoped from his visit, a coaling station in China, big orders to German linns, etc., but no such orders have been given and nothing has been done. Secretary Detring, of the Chinese statesman's staff, in returning thanks on behalf of LI Hung Chang, at a recent banquet and court reception accorded the latter, said: "The Viceroy hopes that no disappointment will result from his visit. The object of his journey was to promote a friendly understanding between China and Germany, and he prohted by the occasion to inform himself more completely regarding the capabilities of German Industry. When he returns to China he will report on all he has seen." This appears to be cold comfort for the German manufacturers. An utterance of U Hung Chang during his Interview with Prince Bismarck is quoted In political circles. It was: "Caprlvi was one of those who say it Is ordered, hence I'll do It. Prince Hohenlohe has more confidence In his own opinion, which he defends with ability and caution." T . The latest phase '.of the duel question Is that tho Emperor hjn ordered that any lnfrlnreiaent of ths Imperial crdir cX IS71.
