ROTTEN BANK HISTORY ■ ♦ DAMAGING EVIDENCE AGAINST CADWALLADER BY RECEIVER. Flfteen-Yenr-Old Girl Burglar Caught In Kosciusko Connty—Mclntosh to Have a Speedy Trial. Special to the Ir.aianapolis Journal. WINCHESTER, Ind., Nov. s.—The Cadwallader case took a recess to-day until Monday. Most of the day was spent in the examination of Jesse Canaday, receiver of the Union City Bank which Cadwalluder wrecked. It would appear from the testimony thus far that the bank was carrying $75,000 worth of worthless paper at the time of the failure. It was further apparent that the directors w r ere permitted to borrow large sums of money from time to time and that 4 per cent, semi-annual dividends were regularly declared. Another item was the evidence of $25,000 worth of notes signed by Charles Cadwallader and his brother-in-law, Guy Crouse. These notes are absolutely worthless. Don’t Want to Prosecute Cadwallader. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. UNION CITY. Ind., Nov. s.—Nathan Cadwallader is a respected citizen of this city and county, and has spent his whole business life here, and is now over seventy years of age, and was president of the defunct Union City Bank from the time of its organization to the time of its failure. It is not true, nor is there any evidence that large sums of money were received on deposit the day before its doors were closed. No money was received on deposit that day, but the day was spent in paying, as far as the money would reach, all depositors who came. It is true that deposits were received as long as the officers of the bank thought there was a chance to tide over the run that was being made. It is not true that deposits were received after the president and other officers of the bank knew it was insolvent. It is not true that the jury who tried the former case expected the judge to impose a sentence of imprisonment. The verdict assessed a fine—eight jurors being for conviction and four were tor acquitaal, two of whom remained so to the end, and only consented to a verdict of a fine. In order that readers of the Journal in the country may know exactly the character of the case now on trial, here is substance of the testimony of Charles Shultz, the prosecuting witness at the second trial now on in Winchester: "I live in Wayne township, and have for three years, and have known defendant fifteen or twenty years. 1 made deposit in the Citizens’ Bank Jan. 2, 1896, of check of about s2*9. It was a check I deposited, given me by P. C. Worth, in payment of my hogs. I took a demand certificate of deposit. Did not give the deposit to the defendant, but to some other officer of the bank. Some time after I took this certificate I needed some money, and took it to the bank and got what money I asked for and took new certincate, p&yable on demand, for residue. On the second day of May, 1896, four days before the bank closed, I needed some more money, and took the certificate to the bank and asked for SSO and anew certificate for the remaining S6O. I got the money and the new certificate, just as I requested. The defendant gave me the money and signed the new certificate. Judge Williams wrote the certificate.” This is the evidence of the prosecuting witness, and the indictment charges that the defendant on the 2d day of May, 1896, received a money deposit of S6O. As no money was received by the defendant on that day, but SSO paid out, and all paid that was asked, it is hard to see how the defendant intended to defraud. Neither Shultz nor Macy, who made the deposit that led to the former trial, believed at any time or believe now that Mr. Cadwallader intended to defraud them, and they have no desire to prosecute the defendant, and nave so stated on the witness stand.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MIJNCIE, Ind., Nov. s.—Frank Hayden, of Gaston, who escaped from jail last week by crouching under his sister’s dress as she was leaving the jail after a visit to him, was captured in Remington, Jasper county, to-day.

The man was a respectable farmer until a month ago, when he was arnsted on the charge of sheep stealing. There had been all kinds of ugly comment because Sheriff Starr had left a colored woman servant attending the jail door when Hayden slipped out. and for a week the officer has hud a half-dozen detectives after the fugitive, to show that he did not connive at his escape. Hayden was located by a letter which he wrote home to a woman, and Sheriff Starr to-day telegraphed the sheriff at Rensselaer to arrest the man.

Governor Mount’s Hard Job. Kansas City Journal. We note that the Governor of Indiana is going steadily ahead with his preparations for prosecuting the perpetrators of the Versailles lynching affair. If he pursues his purpose and is successful In putting the leaders, at least, into the penitentiary for a goodly term of years he will have accomplished more thaji 10,000 editorials and 20,000 sermons toward the suppression of lynching But perhaps the sermons and the editorials have had something to do with the Governor’s resolution.

THE IRISH JOAN OF ARC * MISS MAID GONNE’S STORY OF HOW SHE BECAME A NATIONALIST. StruKKle for Independence Now Bring AVaged Along: New Linen, nnd England Fear* the Result. Maud Gonne, in New York Herald. I have been asked to write of myself and of my work. I do not like to write of myself, first, because I am only doing what is so very natural for an Irish woman to do, serving my country to the best of my ability—there is nothing worthy of note in that —and, second, I think that the personality should always become absorbed in the cause when that cause is great and noble. It is a fault we Celtic people are apt to fall into, of identifying the cause with the workers in it so much that we at last see it only through them. This is a great mistake, for an ideal can never fail or disappoint one, while a human being, no matter how great or how strong, may always fail. No man can be absolutely sure of himself; physical infirmities may come, and the greatest brain, the strongest heart, the most iron nerves may weaken, and then if we have worshiped a great cause in his person the glory of the spiritual ideal becomes hidden and obscured for a time by an earth cloud. But I am wandering away from the subject, and as speaking of my work and why I took it up gives me an opportunity of speaking of Ireland through the pages of your great and influential journal to the people of America, I am very happy indeed to do so. I was educated a good deal abroad, and on going home to Ireland I could not help being terribly struck and pained by the bitter, cruel class hatred which existed and which was manifested so plainly by the Conservatives, landlord classes, among whom I lived. This was some ten or eleven years ago, at a moment when the success of the Land League had terrified the property classes and made their feelings very bitter. To give an instance of what I mean, shortly after my return to Ireland I was stopping at the house of a large land owner in one of the center counties. I had heard vaguely that there had been some evictions, but hardly realized what it meant. So few people do really realize what human suffering and misery really is. There was a large and brilliant dinner party. I sat near my host, who suddenly raised his voice, and, addressing himself to the table generally, said: “What fools those tenants are. They think they can fight me. Such a tenant (naming one) refused to pay his rent, said he couldn’t. I warned him what would happen when I evicted him and destroyed his cabin. To-night as I was riding home I passed by where he and his family are living, in a ditch; his wife is dying; I don’t think she will live till morning, and all she has to shelter her are a few branches. Served them right.’’ I looked around that gayly lighted table, at all those bright faces. No one looked shocked or even surprised. At one end of the table some gentlemen began speaking violently t-gainst the Land League, and then the conversation turned to other subjects. It was incidents such as this that first made me think. I then began to read Irish history, for, strange as it may seem to Americans, I had, like so many others in my position, only been taught Irish history in English history books, which means that in a certain and so-called educated class in Ireland there are no people in the world more utterly ignorant of the history of their country. If they would only study the Irish history more carefully, and especially England’s dealings with Ireland during the record reign of Queen Victoria, I think the Irish "unionist’’ ranks would grow very thin. They would feel ashamed of continuing to allow themselves to be used by England as the instruments for carrying out her policy of extermination of the Irish people. Some of them to-day are beginning to realize that their policy has been shortsighted as well as wicked, and that the ruin and extermination of the Irish people will necessarily also bring about their own complete ruin. Some of them are beginning to understand that it would be wiser as well as nobler to cast in their lot with the National parly and aelp in building up a united Ireland and defending her from English robbery and plunder. The question of the financial relations between England and Ireland, which has been brought so much to the fore of late by the finding of the royal commission of inquiry that Ireland is, in proportion to England, being overtaxed to the extent of £2,750,000 per annum, has had a certain effect on the Irish Conservatives, apd this year we have seen the principal land owners throughout the country, north as well as south, demanding in no measured terms fiscal reform, and w r e have the unusual spectacle of Nationalist and Conservative members of Parliament speaking from the same platform and demanding that England should cease to rob Ireland. At a meeting at Cork early this year, presided over by Lord Bandon, Lord Castletown said that England would have to grant reforms of taxation in Ireland or Europe would soon hear of an Irish question as they hear to-day of an Armenian question, and he went on to remind England that she had lost America and that she. might yet lose Ireland. But the majority of these Irish landlords have still much to learn of political wisdom, national honesty and honor. The financial relations agitation was going along splendidly, and the English government was beginning to be seriously preoccupied and anxious over this united action taken by the classes it had so long succeeded in playing off against one another, when suddenly, without any apparent cause, the movement on the Conservative side began to flag and many of the landlords ceased attending the meetings. Then we learned that some of them were contemplating as disgraceful a piece of treachery as could be imagined. They were endeavoring to make private terms for themselves with the government, in the hope of being able to raise their rents. The Land Commission inquiry just held in Dublin was the result. I believe, however, that the greater part of the Irish Conservatives condemn this treacherous action, and the financial relations agitation is being continued with vigor. I am very hopeful of the future. The national spirit throughout Ireland is stronger and healthier than ever. There is a great spiritual and literary movement growing up. The genius of the past which once made Ireland the great center of learning and art of the world seems again awakening in the Celtic race. Next year the century of our great struggle f#r freedom will give up a grand opportunity of asserting our national rights before the world and of disproving the calumnies and falsehoods w’hich England is ever seeking to spread abroad about us. She assures the world that the Irish people are incapable of self-govern-ment and that they are really content wish her rule. The delegations from all libertyloving countries who will come next year to take part with us in the great national pilgrimage which we are organizing to visit all the battlefields of 1798, where the loyal Irish peasants, armed only with their courage and their love of our native land, fought against the regular troops of England and were not subdued until England had concentrated 150.000 soldiers in Ireland—these foreigners will see in the thousands and thousands of exiled Irish who will return to do honor to the heroes and martyrs of liberty that the Irish race, no matter what the political dissensions of their leaders, are united, and that the whole race is determined to be free and are only waiting a favorable opportunity of becoming so in fact.

M. K. Church Extt-nxion. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. s.—To-day’s session of the general committee on Methodist Episcopal Church Extension Society was devoted wholly to a consideration of the amounts asked for from the various conferences for church extension. Bishop Cranston, of Portland, Ore., declared that many churches which have been aided bv the society have become wholly indifferent in respect to helping the work of church extension. Bishop McCabe, of Fort Worth Tex., deplored the assistance given by the society to churches which cost more than SIO,OOO. No action was reached on the subject. Cotton Planter Shot.

Fort Barrancos, has been instructed by General Wilson, the chief of engineers, to restore the walls of old Fort San Carlos, near Barrancos. This is the oldest and most interesting fortress in the United. States. It was originally built by the Spaniards and was several times captured by the French and English. It has not been used since it was captured by the American army under General Jackson in 1821. It will now probably be supplied with rapid-firing guns. THE LOCO WEED. Instance of Its Remarkable Effect on Live Stock. Kansas City Journal. “Speaking of the ‘loco weed,’ ” said the western Kansas man, “I see where some scientific man has stated that there is nothing in the old theory that the loco plant will make stock crazy. Now. I want to say that that scientific man simply doesn’t know w r hat he is talking about. I’ve seen too many ’locoed’ horses to take any stock in a scientist who talks that way. Let a horse once get a taste of that plant and nothing but the Keeley cure will ever fix him again so that he will be worth the powder and lead necessary to kill him. But we had a practical scientific demonstration out in the cattle town where I used to have headquarters that beat any of the opinions of scientific theorists. There used to be a doctor down there by the name of Dunn, who was something of an experimenter himself. I think he knocked off twenty-five or thirty years of his life by experiments. At any rate, he is dead. ‘Doc’ was greatly interested in the loco weed, and decided that he would test what there was in it and invent an antidote. He came to me one day, all excitement, and told me he had discovered a sure antidote for loco. In fact it was more. It would fix the system so that a horse or cow brute could fill itself with loco with impunity. ‘Doc’ said he had figured it all out, so that he knew just what he was doing. He wanted me to go into partnership with him in the manufacture and sale of the antidote. He had two or three pages of figures, showing just where we could sure make at least two millions each in the next three or four years and have a regular and tremendous income after that. ‘Doc’ was so confident and had such a list of figures that I was a little worked up myself, but finally told him I w T ould like to see the stuff tried before I invested any money in it. ‘Doc’ said of course there was 1.0 particular use in wasting time in trying it, because he had figured out in a scientific w’ay just how it would work, but if I w r asn’t satisfied he would demonstrate its success. He had boiled down about four or five bushels of loco weeds into a thick syrup—there was, maybe, a pint of it, and enough strength in it to drive a whole herd of horses crazy. “ ‘Doc’ had an old mule which could be induced to go off at a slow walk by larruping him with a club. He w’as the infernalist laziest mule I ever saw. and the hungriest. Well, ‘Doc’ mixed that whole pint of loco syrup in a bucketful of bran, put in his antidote, and fed the whole thing to that mule. Then he hitched the mule up to a buckboard and invited me to take a ride. ‘Now,’ said ‘Doc,’ as he gathered up the lines, ‘you saw that I fed that mule enough of the concentrated extract of the loco to drive at least six horses or mules crazy, but my antidote has completely neutralized the effect of thte poisonous plant, and the mule will suffer no inconvenience whatever.’ Just then that mule commenced to act as if he was getting uneasy, and the next minute he had taken the bit in his teeth and started at a forty-mile-an-hour gait for a barbed wire fence. ‘Doc’ tried to talk to him arid saw on the lines. He might as well have tried to stop a cyclone. I sawthe way the thing was going and fell out over the wheel. ‘Doc’ held on till the mule struck the fence. He didn t recover consciousness until one of the boys in town who had a horse needle had sewed on his left ear and taken a few stitches in a threeinch cut wfliich the barb wire had made in his leg. I was considerably jammed up myself. but not seriously injured, and was standing over ‘Doc’ when he came to. The first words he said were: ‘l’m afraid. Bill, that antidote won’t work well in bran.’ Oh, yes, they found the mule next day ten miles from town—that is, they found what was left of it. The mule was dead. These scientific fellows absolutely don’t know anything about loco.’’ • BIG INDIANS. Were Seven Feet Tall, nnd Have Been Dead for Centuriew. Baltimore American. There has just been received at the Maryland Academy of Sciences the skeleton of an Indian seven feet tall. It was discovered near Antietam ten days ago. There are now skeletons of three powerful Indians at the academy who, at one time in their wildness, roamed over the State of Maryland, armed with such instruments as nature gave them, or that their limited skill taught them to make. Two of these skeletons belonged to individuals evidently of gigantic size. The vertebrae and bones of the legs are nearly as thick as those of a horse, and the length of the long boi.es exceptional. The skulls are of fine proportions, ample, and with walls of moderate thickness, but of great strength and stiffened behind by a powerful occipital ridge. The curves of the forehead are moderate and not retreating, suggesting intelligence, and connected with jaws of moderate development. The locality from which these skeletons came is in Frederick county, near Antietam creek. It was formerly supposed to have been the battle-ground of two tribes of Indians—the Catawbas and the Delawares. Tradition has handed down the statement that between the years 1730 and 1736 the Catawbas overtook a band of Delawares at the mouth of the Antietam, and in the battle that ensued the Delawares were completely annihilated. So the tradition goes, but according to Dr. Philip R. Uhler, president of the Marvland Academy of Sciences, and provost of the Peabody Institute, a careful examination of this locality has failed to establish evidences of a battie at this point, although numerous speer and arrow heads have been taken from the soil there. It is of great interest, however, to notice that the locality was, at an early date—before the coming of the white man—occupied as a village site by Indians of great stature, some of them six and one-half to seven feet in height. The bones of these were buried like those of prehistoric tribes in other parts of the State. The manner of burial was like this: The flesh was cleaned from the bones, some of w'hich were then charred. The small bones of the face and neck were packed -in the cavity of the sViill, and a round hole about two and onehalf feet wide was dug in the ground, in which the skeleton was buried and carefully packed wnh clay. lino the grave was also placed pottery, a tomahawk and the other weapons belonging to the Indians.

No stone marked the grave, and no beads or wampum were buried with the skeleton. But over all the earth was heaped up Into a small oblong mound, along which other similar mounds extended for many feet. Tiie overflows of a neighboring river at this point had almost destroyed the burial area, so that only three of these small elevations were recognizable at the time of excavation. There lias long since been an active series of hunts to discover skeletons of prehistoric Indians. All things relating to the daily life, beliefs, practices and origin of these Indians have been studied by those who desire to unearth the history of the men who formerly occupied this country. The Maryland Academy of Sciences has a collection of relies and skeletons taken from different counties of the State. Their plan is to conduct a systematic survey of this State, and many well-tilled glass cases in the halls of the society attest that they have performed their labor well. Here may be seen war clubs, stone tomahawks, hoes, knives, spear heads, arrow points, pottery, stone mortars, ceremonial appliances, hammers. drills, polishers, lapstones and ornaments from nearly every county in Maryland. The society has had village sites and weapon workshops sought out and identified until they have become very prominent ir. this department of science. Tle Kentaeky Combination. Philadelphia Times. The people of furnish a peculiar study in American social life. There are, indeed, other localities where killing is frequent, but it is generally confined to a class—as Kansas City and Dallas, where the gamblers do it; at Mew Orleans, where professional politicians engage in it. But in Kentucky it seems to be limited to no class or grade of social life. Judges on the bench, lawyers. railw r ay superintendents, temperance lecturers, hotel keepers and horse breeders reach around to their hip pocket for a weapon with cheerful alacrity on the least provocation, and give and receive a fatal tire without, seeming to regard being murdered or murderer as anything else than an expected incident of everyday life. The predominant racial type in Kentucky is Celtic, and their whisky is said to be the best in the world, but perhaps, as in the case of certain chemicals which are safe when separated are very dangerous when brought in contact—the peculiar Celtic strain of blood and the whisky of the native still a e accountable for these frequent slayings. Whatever may be the cause, the murder record of the State, and on every succeeding election day particularly, iE a disgrace to American civilization. Football Killed in Georgia. Atlanta Journal. Football matches are a thing of the past in Georgia. The State University team has disbanded under a unanimous resolution. The faculty and the trustees of the university will probably forbid football playing, and it is probable that the game will be proscribed at Mercer. Emory has never countenanced football matches. Alderman Woodward’s resolution prohibiting football in Atlanta went through the Council last night by an almost unanimous vote. Football will soon be as dead in other States as it is in Georgia. The game has been tried and justly condemned as brutal, cruel and dangerous. It is not an American game, anyway. It is an importation from England, and one that has done more harm than good. The abolition of football all over the country would do no injury to college athletics. ’'here are other games and sports which develop muscle and activity. which stimulate youthful pluck and strengthen youthful endurance and at the same time do not involve danger to life and limb. We want to see those clean, safe and healthful sports encouraged, but we rejoice that football has received its death blow in Georgia. Statement from .Mark Twain. HARTFORD.
