• the earlier part of the evening had disappeared. A solitary bailiff sat at the foot rs the stairs leading to the second story, another sat at the upper end of the flight, two more were at the door of the courtroom and three more were inside keeping watch over the sleeping jurymen. The opinion around the Criminal Court to-night was that all chances of a verdict has disappeared and that the result Is practically certain to be a disagreement. It is consider-<1 possible and even probable that the state will have nine or ten of the Jurymen and the defense the remainder. The chances to-night, however, seem to favor a disagreement of eight for conviction and four for acquittal. Many women waited In the court room all day with the expectation that a verdict would be reached. Crowds of curious people also hung about tho outside of the courthouse all morning. The long afternoon wore slowly away with nothing to relieve the monotony save the request of the jury for the map of Luetgert’s factory and surroundings, which has hung in the court room since the trial began. It was believed at first that some point in reference to the vicinity was under discuss*on, but later Information developed the fact that the jury, in order to circumvent the efforts of a crowd of reporters who, from the roof of an adjoining building, were surveying them with teJeseopes, had placed the map across the window, shutting out all views of their room. Late in the afternoon the Jury sent for the contract which Matron Kurth gave Gottlieba Schimpke at the time she took her into her home as a domestic. When the police learned, two months ago, that Gottlieba, whose age is eleven years, had stated that she saw Luetgert and his wife walking toward the factory on the night of May 1, they took her to the Sheffleldavenue police station and later placed her In the home of Matron Kurth. A contract was signed by Mrs. Kurth agreeing to pay the girl $2 per week. This contract was read during the trial and offered in evidence. During the collection of the documents to send to the jury room it was left out. One of the jurors wanted to see it and, not finding it, sent for the paper. Attorney Phaien was Inclined to the opinion that the contract had been omitted purposely. State's Attorney Deneen emphatically denied this and said he had no objection to it going to the jury. It was accordingly sent In. CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT. At 6:30 o’clock this evening bailiffs, acting under orders from Judge Tuthill, cleared the courtroom of spectators and an army of reporters. The custodian of the building ordered every one out of the structure, which, he said, was to be closed for the night. There was a general exodus and soon the big building was deserted save for the Jurors in the case. State’s Attorney Deneen and a few of his assistants and the corridor guards. At the main entrance to the building two stalwart policemen were stationed, with orders to admit no one during the night unless it was announced that a verdict had been reached. Immediately after the crowd had been turned out of the courtroom bailiffs and deputy sheriffs carried into Judge Tuthill’s courtroom fifteen cots and much bed clothing. The members of the jury were released from a little adjoining room where they had spent twenty-four hours and each of them assisted in the bed making that followed. The release from the cramped quarters in which the jurors had been deliberating upon their verdict seemed to put them in a more pleasant frame of mind. There was prospect of a good night’s rest ahead In case of failure to agree on a verdict, and this fact was of sufficient Interest to wreath the faces of the men good and true with smiles. Three extra cots brought into the room were for the bailiffs who remained with the jurors except when the latter were engaged in a discussion of the case. A bountiful dinner was served soon after the jurors had taken possession of their quarters. After a conference with his assistant and Inspector Sehaack, State’s Attonpey Deneen said: “I will remain In my office until midnight if there is any prospect of a verdict being reached. But I do not expect a verdict to-night. I expect the jurors to go to sleep as soon as they retire to those cots, and I do not expect to hear of them getting up until to-morrow morning. It looks to me at present as though disagreement would be the final result. Inspector Schaack and Assistant State’s Attorney McEwen are inclined to place more importance upon those two letters offering the foreman a bribe than I am. They seem to think there is a big plot behind it all. Personally I believe the letters were either written by a crank or they are a hoax perpetrated by some newspaper men. The proposition is too bold and the person making it offers to expose himself to the clutches of the law too readily for it to be genuine.” Just before retiring for the night, the Jury took another ballot, the vote standing nine for conviction and three for acquittal. The four jurors who have been standing out for acquittal are Behmiller, Barber, Holabird and Harley. The two latter are still for acquittal, but either Behmiller or Barber has come over to the state. There Is much feeling against Hailey among the jurors who favor the death penalty. They say he will not argue the case in any way, but sticks solidly for Luetgert.

LETTERS OFFERING BRIBES. Alleged Attempt to Purchase the Jury at Per Mn. CHICAGO, Oct. 19.—Two letters, offering bribes to the foreman of the jury in the Luetgert case have been received by Judge Tuthiil and are now in the possession of the state’s attorney. The amount is $1,600. Both letters are signed George Atrill. State s Attorney Deenen is not disposed to regard the attempted bribery seriously, but Inspector Schaack and Assistant State’s Attorney McEwn look upon the matter with suspicion. T'ie f >t letter was received last Monday mo m.jg. It was dated Oct. 10, tho day on which it was originally believed the case would go to the jury. It reads: "Mr. Foreman: A powerful influence is at work to stive Adolph L. Luetgert. Money is scarce, and in these hard times a SIOO or so comes in handy. I have SI,6CD to divide among you twelve men. If you want it havo two good men, smooth-faced, that are discreet, at the southeast corner of Randolph and Dearborn streets to-morrow at 1 o’clock p. m. Let them wear white linen neckties, or if they prefer, red bow ties. Everything will be all right. The money is secure in a Clark-street bank. "GEORGE ATRILL." The second is under date of Oct. IS, and is also addressed to the foreman of the Luetgert jury. It is as follows: “Dear Sir—Why did you not have the young nu n at the southeast corner of Randolph and Dearborn streets as suggested? In the present hard times sioo is pretty useful. If you will agree to vote Luetgert free, we can yet arrange matters. Send tho young men to-morrow. “GEORGE ATRILL.” Judge Tuthiil opens all mail of jurors, and in this way these' letters fell into his handa. His Honor is inclined to regard the letters as a hoax, as is Mr. Deenen. In fact, the state’s attorney thinks the letters were got up by enterprising newspaper reporters. Both letters were written on line linen paper, in good penmanship and inclosed in white envelopes. ADOLPH L. 1.l ETGERT. Rise of the Sausage Maker In Business —llls Personality ami Habits. CHICAQO, Oct. 19.—Luetgert, king of the sausage-making industry, has been the object of talk and speculation for the last live years. His unique personality, his queer habits, his half wild dogs, his giant stature, and the millions of pounds of sausage that were carted away from his great factory at Diversey and Hermitage avenues made the Germans and Pole® of his neighborhood call him a king. They gave him a wide berth when he went along the sidewalk with his great Dane dogs panting after him. When he spoke to them they pulled off their hats. He employed more men than any one for almost a mile around, and the neighborhood looked on his factory as the place where all the money in circulation originated. Millions of pounds of sausage were carted away from tho huge brick buildings and sent ail over the country, and the people about the factory conceived wild ideas of I.uetgert’s wealth. It was told around that he was a millionaire. His wealth was piling up so fast he did not know' where to put It, they said. These people never had heard that Luetgert put every ct nt he owned into his big plant and that he had borrowed money to complete it. The Polish and German laborers in the neighborhood did not know that to sell millions of pounds of sausages requires thousands of dollars of capital. Luetffert built the best house in the neighborhood, but no one appeared to envy his wife. Luetgert’s employes noticed that, in spite of tho domestics who worked at tho liouse, Mrs. Luetgert tolled early and lute, and spent little of her husband’s earnings. She saved with him that his business n.ight pro!;;, r. During the twenty years Since Luetgert and Luuiuo liickne.se wore flurried Lu ttu John's Lutheran Church, LA

Salla avenue and Ohio street, where her fold wedding ring was first worn. Mrs. luetgert had toiled with her husband and had planned with him. Luetgert was a prosperous saloon keeper when they were wedded, and Louise Blcknese was a pretty German domestic, who knew scarcely a word of English. Luetgert’s saloon business was highly profitable. He and his wife were thrifty. They were not happy, but both were anxious to get rich, and Mrs. Luetgert scrubbed, and was content to live In small rooms over the saloon while the profits piled up. The saloon was located In Webster avenue. This was in 1880. At last Luetgert and his wife had saved enough money to buy out a meat route, and Luetgert gave up his saloon. The family went to live over the market, and this prospered better than the saioort had done. Luetgert began by peddling meftt at the back doors of his friends' homes. He saw possibilities in sausage-malcing, and gradually he went into the business of making summer sausages. At first this was carried on In a back room of the market. After a while it outstripped the regular meat business, and Luetgert saw business and profits come in almost faster than he could take care of them. The factory was located then in Sheffield avenue, near Diversey. Six years ago Luetgert and his wife, by hard work and scant living, had saved $.80,000. The sausage business was still growing, and both had visions of a business that would rival the Armours. Luetgert and his wife had widely different notions as to now a large sausage plant ought to be built. Luetgert had visions of a six-story building, with railroad tracks running to it and loaded cars at the doors. Mrs. Luetgert wished her husband to invest $40,000 in the new plant and the balance of their savings in some other investment. Luetgert had his own way. Five years ago the land at Diversey avenue and the Northwestern railroad tracks was secured by Luetgert, and the largest sausage works in the country erected. The huge six-story building at that time loomed up on the prairie for several miles around and became the center of a cluster of small frame houses. Luetgert’s sausage-making was transferred to the new plant, and he bounded Into an immense business at the start. His competitors through the country also denominated him the “sausage king.” During the year of the world’s fair Luetgert cleared $75,000 from his sausage business. At that time he was reputed to be worth about $300,000. Mrs. Luetgert, it is saiu, never ceased to chide her husband for putting all his savings in the plant, even when profits piled up with dazzling swiftness. When Luetgert bounded into his great business he also bounded into popularity in the neighborhood. He was pointed out as the most prosperous German in the northwestern part of the city, who had made all his money in ntieen years, and as he relaxed from his frugal habits he found plenty of friends willing to help him relax still more. His popularity was not confined to his own sex. Mrs. Luetgert, with the most comfortable house for a mile arourd, was not envied, however. When she saw the change in her husband’s habits she fretted and chided, till Luetgert finally went to live among his dogs in the factory. He fitted up a sleeping room in his office, and his bulky frame never was seen in the house except at meal times. Luetgert had invested practically every penny he and his wife saved in his sausage plant. He borrowed almost as much more to complete it, and as most of his business was done on credit, when the hard times came he had no capital with which to go on. When he was obliged to borrow right and left, Mrs. Luetgert lost no chance to remind him that if he had followed her advice he would have been all right. Last February Luetgert’s factory closed down. When profits ceased to pile up Mrs. Luetgert’s scoldings and the family jars increased. Mary Siemering had, in the meantime, como to live with the Luetgcrts, and Luetgert’s fondness for her, it is said, increased the bitterness between him and hi3 wife. Luetgert’s employes at the factory were In the main ignorant Poles and Germans, most of them unable to speak English. The grocery and retail market which were run in connection with the sausage factory, however, gave employment to a number of Intelligent men, among them Fred Miller, Mrs. Luetgert’s nephew. Financial ruin stared Luetgert in the face by the middle of April. The sausage-maker and his wife saw that the factory was almost certain to pass into the hands of the sheriff, for notes were falling due, there was no income to pay them from, and butchers and market men who were in Luetgert's debt were unable to help him out of difficulty in the hard times. Mrs. Luetgert. who had seen her advice thrown to the winds, and l er dire predictions all como true, lost no opportunity to scold her husband for his folly. The 'reports of the Luetgert family disturbances increased throughout the neighborhood and were the object of many conferences among Mrs. Luetgert’s relatives. Luetgert’s social habits, In which, it was said, his wife was not included, were believed to be at the bottom of all the difficulty. His friendship for Christine Feldt, Mary Siemering and Mrs. Agatha Tosch, it is said, had changed liis wife into a perpetual scold.

FEDERATION OF LABOR. Call for Seventeenth Annuel Convention Issued l*y Samuel Gompers. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—President Samuel Gompers, by Frank Morrison, secretary, has issued a call to all affiliated unions for the seventeenth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor, which begins at Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 1.3 next. The call makes a strong plea for a full attendance of w’orkingmen at this convention, and states that no convention in recent years has been called on to deal with more momentous questions than confront the workers of to-day. Owing to the distance, the expense of attendance may be somewhat greater than usual, and owing to the severe drains that affiliated organizations have sustained in recent years, there may be a desire to husband resources and refrain from being present, but this is said to bo mistaken economy, and organizations are earnestly warned against it. The objects of the convention are, in part, thus set out in the call: "The severities of the industrial stagnation of the past four years have not yet been abated; the wrongs from which the workers suffer have not been righted; the injustice imposed on our people remains uriremedied; the overworked large mass and the unemployed many are still testimony to the folly of our age; the employment of children in our factories and workshops, though modified, fingers with us still, and the spectacle is witnessed of idle men and laboriously busy children, legislatures more concerned with the privileges to the few than the rights of the many; with public assemblage and free speech invaded, threatened or forbidden, and the modern judicial weapon of injunction utilized in the effort to crush labor. These rights and wrongs and others of equal importance, but too numerous for reference here, must of necessity be considered by the forthcoming convention, and such action devised as shall tend to attain the one and set aside the other.” Patents Granted Indian in ns. WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Patents were issued to Indianians to-day as follows: Wm. Butler. Redkey, glassware machine: George McChesney, Indianapolis, arch culvert; Thos. A. Cole, Indianapolis, con bined cigar clipper and register; Henry C Mustard, West Point, automatic device for operating whistles; Eugene H. Olds, Fort Wayne, bicycle handle bar clip; W. A. Parish, Richmond, fence machine; Van B. Perry, Fort Wayne, and W. S. Boon. Montpelier, Ohio, apparatus for loading lumber; Horace Q. Plummer, Maplewood, automatic guiding attachment for bicycles; Denton Simpson, Center, corn planter; John C. Vickery, Reno, catching and holding tool; Filmore M. Welchimer and B. L. Welchimer, Columbia, station indicator; Samuel L. Wright, Denver, can opener. Receiver for Insurance Company. HARRISBURG. Pa., Oct. 19.—Deputy Attorney General Reeder to-day applied to the court for a receiver for the Iron City Fire Insurance Company, of Pittsburg. The application was at once granted and Elmer W. Moore, of Pittsburg, was appointed receiver. Judgments to the amount of $30,(00 have been entered against the company and a number of executions against it have been returned marked "No funds." Timothy O’Leary, jr., is the president of the company. “Spite House" Richard noil's Estate. NEW YORK, Oct. 19.—The assertion was made in surrogate Fitzgerald court to-day that the estate left by the late Joseph Richardson. so far from being $30,000,030, is little over half a million dollars. This statement was made by George Richardson, son of the deceased, in an affidavit opposing the uppolntment of his stepmother, Mrs. Emma J. Richardson, as temporary executrix of his will. Driving Out Gold Meekers. SILVER CITY. N.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1897.

THE OPERATORS REFUSE MINERS’ COMMITTEE TURNED DOWN AND A STRIKE PROBABLE. • • Ugly Threat* of Lynching In Rnsltvillc—Long List of Men Willing to Succeed Charles L. Henry. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., Oct. 19.—The block-coal operators held a secret conference in the parlors of the First National Bank this morning, and in the afternoon met the miners’ committee. The demand from the miners for an advance of 4 cents, making the scale 70 cents a ton, was discussed at length, but the operators refused to grant the raise and an adjournment was taken, with the miners’ committee’s feelings greatly ruffled. A meeting of miners is called for Saturday, when the report of the operators’ refusal will be discussed. It is generally believed a strike will be declared in the block-coal district. An Idle Mine Resnmes. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DUGGER, Ind., Oct. 19.— After a continued idleness of nearly six months the Indiana and Chicago Coal Company’s mine will resume operation Monday, giving employment to a great many men. WANT TO SUCCEED HENRY. Nearly u Seore of Candidates in tlie Gas-Belt District. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 19.— Congressman C. Li. Henry’s announcement of retirement from public life for the time being, at. least, which was made in Sunday’s Journal, causes much regret at his home here. Those who realized the magnitude of his interests, however, were not surprised. To what he had before, he has added the construction of the Gas Belt Electric Railway and is pushing it through. He intends to eventually connect all of the gas belt cities by a system of this kind. Mr. Henry’s time is in demand as an attorney and he has many other interests. There is much speculation in this city as to who will be his successor. E.. E. Hendee, of this city, is mentioned in connection with the place. Mr. Todd, of Bluffton, is also mentioned. I. P. Watts, of Randolph county, and Judge A. O. Marsh, also of that county, will have to be reckoned v 1 . h. The name of Hon. John H. Terhune, of this city, is also being forced to the front by his many friends. He is a good business man and one who would get in touch with affairs in short order. Mr. Hendee was seen to-day, but he was noncommittal. Mr. Hendee and Mr. Henry are very close friends and it is possible that Mr. Henry would like to see Mr. Hendee get the nomination. Though Madison county has about a third of the votes in the mass convention, still there is a question as to whether a Madison county man could take the plum. The Morning Herald, in reviewing Mr. Henry’s terms in Congress, gives the following names of men who, it is understood, will enter the race: A. J. Bonham, ex-mayor of Hartford City; Judge A. O. Marsh and Rev. I. P. Watts, of Winchester; Theodore Shockney, of Union City, and J. J. Todd, of Bluffton, both of whom were in the last gubernatorial race; State Republican Chairman George F. McCulloch, ex-Mayor George Cromer, Frederick Heath, brother of Perry Heath, and State Senator Cranor. of Muncie; R. S. Peterson, of Decatur; Case, of Dunkirk, and E. E. Hendee, Hon. J. H. Terhune and Judge M. A. Chipman, of Anderson. But few know the importance of the Eighth district. It includes the greater part of the gas belt. It is the second congressional district in the United States in point of vote at the lasi election and it is also second in point of presidential pcstoffices, having twenty-one; It stands only second to the great Pittsburg district in the iron and steel industries, and it is more than probable that it leads all others in the manufacture of tin plate, plate glass and window glass. Within its borders are the largest tin-plate and plate-glass plants in the entire world. Its products not only go to all sections of this continent, but they reach every port of the civilized globe. This district has more natural gas than any other in the Nation, and it stands well up in the list on oil. Thero is not another district in Indiana that can present such an aggregation of cities as Anderson, Alexandria, Elwood, Muncie, Winchester, Portland. Union City, Hartford City, Bluffton and Decatur. Congressman C. L. Henry left to-night for Niagara to attend the national meeting of electric railway men. He will also attend to official matters in'the East. His wife accompanied him.

OIL IX OASS COUNTY. Logannport Cnpitul Beginning; to Invent in OH Stock. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGAN SPORT, Ind., Oct. 19. Probably no city in the State is more deeply interested in watching the development of the Indiana oil fields than Logansport, for every resident not only hopes, but believes, that the day is not far distant when Cass county will be as thickly dotted with derricks and paying wells as the adjoining county of Miami. "While the oil excitement in this county has not reached the fever heat which prevails in Peru, there is still a faith in oil here that wifi give substantial backing to the movement for testing the field. At nearly every small town in the county oil companies have either been organized or are perfecting plans for organization. At New W averly, nine miles east of this city, on the Wabash Railroad, the drill is already at work. In Logansport one company, with a capital stock of $5,000, has been organized. The company has leased two thousand acres in the county and this week the contract for the drilling of five wells was let to Ed Karns, of Bowling Green, 0., the location ot the wells to be determined on later. Should the well at New Waverly prove a paying one when it comes in the Logansport company w’ill probably begin work east of the city. Oil has been found at Royal Center, twelve miles northwest of here, and the fact that in the Miami county field the wells west of Peru are stronger than those in the eastern part of the city is taken as evidence that the belt lies in this direction. While the Logansport Oil Company will not at once drill a well in the immediate vicinity of the city the matter will be tested here in the n.ear future by private enterprise. Matthias Schneeberger, a prominent liveryman of the city, has announced his intention of drilling a well on one of his lots in the city. The outcome of his experiment wifi be watched w'Uh interest. Spirits Locate an Oil Well. Frecial to the Ind:anapolls Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., Oct. 19.—Solomon Perry, an oil operator, is drilling a "wildcat” well in Wabash township, this county, w'hieh he firmly believes will boa wonderful producer. Perry claims that the well was located for him by the spirits. At the time the location was selected Perry and a medium went over the field carrying a trumpet and the voices from the other world kept telling them to move on until they came to this certain spot. A few days later the machinery was set and work began. Ben Fulton, the oil and gas witch, who has certain quoerly constructed instruments by which he claims to locate veins of oil and gas, w'ont over the same territory, but does not agree w T ith the spirits on the location, although at another place they were in accord. Oil men in general are watching developments at the Perry well with some interest, not because of the way it was located, but by reason of its being in practically new territory. To Start Well No. 4. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. PETERSBURG. Ind., Oct. 19.—The Petersburg Mining and Manufacturing Company at Its meeting yesterday decided to begin at once the drilling of gas well No. 4. The well will be located about three miles east of the famous Jumbo well and the company is very confident that an abundant supply of gas will be found. FRANK SHOIP’S VICTIMS. Womau Mliot Through the Nose and a Mun in the Breast. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ATTICA, Ind., Oct. 19.—Flunk Shoup and Charles Hewitt, of Ralnsvlllc, Warren county, engaged in a fight on a street In that village last night and as a result Hewitt is severely wounded, and Mrs. Ella Retd, standing at her front gate, was hit in the nose b'* one of the stray bullets fired by Shoup. Hewitt was shot two Inches below the heart and fell In h‘s tracks. The bullet struck a rib anti this saved his fife. After emptying his revolver Shoup made his escape, it was known that Shoup had a brother working on Joseph Heath's farm, seven miles northeast of Kainsvilla, and William Foster, deputy marshal

of Pine Village, with Scott Osborne, started in pursuit. They overtook Shoup and drove back to Pine Village with their prisoner. Here Osborne got out of the bugg> to telephone to Ralnsville and Shoup gave the horse a sharp cut with the whip and escaped in the buggy. Foster stood on the ground and was run down. Shoup and the outfit were away before the astonished officers could gather their wits. Osborne got another rig and started for the Heath farm, where he thought Shoup would go, arriving about thirty minutes after Shoup and his brother had started in the direction of Templeton. A half mile from that town Shoup got out of the buggy ami Osborne met his brother returning home. Osborne tracked Shoup to the neighborhood of Templeton, where he lost the trail. This morning a posse was organized at Pine Village and Ralnsville and a thorough search of the fields was made without success. The injured man is a son of the late Wiley Hewitt. He is nineteen years old and lives with hi3 mother, a half mile‘from Ralnsville. Lately he had formed some bad associates. He says the shooting was unjustifiable and without warning. Mrs. Reed, the innocent victim of the row’. Is the divorced wife of Sam Reed. Ifpr injury, though painful, is not dangerous, the ball passing through her nose sideways and disfiguring her face. Frank Shoup is a farm hand twenty-two years old and unmarried. Yv hen not employed he makes his home with his father, two miles east of Ralnsville. He bears a bad character in the neighborhood. MRS. MANTA’S ASSAILANT. George Skelion, a Colninbn* Negro. Clmrged with the Crime. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RUSHVILLE, Ind., Oct. 19.—George Skelton, colored, of Columbus, was arrested this morning by Deputy Sheriff Jackson and Deputy Marshal Pea on suspicion of being the man who attempted to assault Mrs. May Banta, wife of Harry Banta, last night. Skelton was employed at the new courthouse as a mortar man until yesterday, w’hen he was discharged on account of some difference with the plastering contractor. Skelton was at the building early this morning demanding his money, on a plea that he wanted to “git out of town." His actions aroused suspicion and as the description given by Mrs. Banta fitted hin. he was arrested and was positively identified by her as the man who assailed her last night. Skelton protested his innocence and said he was at his boarding place. Mrs. Mitchell's, on West Water street, from dark yesterday evening until this morning. Two or three of the women at the Mitchell house this afternoon corroborated his story. Skelton's friends are determined to save him. This fact onlv intensifies the bitter feeling here against Skelton and if it should appear that lie Is the man it is not improbable that Kush county will have a taste of mob law. The grand Jury quickly returned an indictment this morning. The man-hunt with bloodhounds last night continued until after midnight and the fleeing negro was several times sighted. He swam the mill race twice and It is sUpros4l finally gave the posse the slip by wading Flat Rock. Mrs. Banta’s identification of the negro is generally believed as positive. INDIANA OBITUARY.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. > GREENWOOD, Ind., Oct. 19.—Pat Murphy, of Indianapolis, started a quart shop on Pearl street in this city last month and has been running ever since on a government license. Greenwood has nearly always been a temperance town and the people are strongly against the selling of intoxicants. For the past few weeks that portion of town where the quart shop is located, known as “Klondike,” has been terrorized at night by drunken men and disreputable women. This morning about 1:30 o’clock two explosions were heard in “Klondike” and the entire town turned out to soe W’hat was up. It was found that two charges of dynamite had been placed under the front of Murphy’s saloon, blowing it to splinters and breaking glass in dwelling houses for over a block away. Charles Stevens, tho bartender from Indianapolis, and John Devers weire asleep in the rear part of the building and were blown from their beds, both being slightly injured. The building will be rebuilt and it Is claimed the saloon will open again in a few days.

C., Oct. 19.—Walter Htnebaugh and John Sweeney, of Oakland, Ind., were found in their room in the Hotel Lawrence In this city this afternoon at the point of death from asphyxiation. The gas was turned on at full head and the men were in the last gasps. They were dragged into the fresh air and restoratives were applied with such success that in an hour they could be removed to a hospital, where they were further treated, and at 10 o’clock were pronounced out of dr.nger. When first discovered Landlord Greshheimer examined their efreots. They were found to be v. ithout money or valuables, their combined assets consisting of a butV’h of kevs, a broken-bladed knife and an old silver watch worth less than a dollar.

Heavy Vote Polled in Jackson County Sent Removal Election. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ind., Oct. 19.—'The election to-day to decide the relocation of the county seat from Browntown to this city passed off very quietly. A steady rain set in early in the morning and continued all day. The vote in this city is the largest .ever cast, and indications point to a heavy vote in the county.

Women Electioneering. New York Evening Sun. This is the sort of thing the Republican women missionaries have to contend with. It happened the other day, and she was a reasonably bright, intelligent looking woman. “Ah.” slid the missionaries to themselves, "we’ll have no trouble about making ourselves understood here,” and they launched forth into the preliminaries with unwonted zeal. At last they ventured the test question. “What are your husband’s politics?” "Ma’am?” was the answer. "Your husband's politics," repeated the spokeswoman. "How does he vote? Don’t you know to what party he belongs?" “Oh,” cried the woman, her face clearing, “of course I know that. He’s either a Democrat or a Republican.” In comforting contrast to this was a woman who, as soon as the word “vote” was ventured, cried: “That’s all right, ma’am; I’ve a husband, three sons and four brothers, and they all vote the Republican ticket straight.” Right next door to this the fnissionaries rapped for some time without getjting any response. Suddenly the first door was opened and the voice of the first woman was heard, “No use wastin’ your time there.” she said; “for they’re pne*of ’em at home, and they're all Republicans. You go up to the fourth floor, left, and tackle the only Tammany family in the house—more shame to ’em.”

Almost a Pity. New York Commercial Advertiser.
