STRIKE FOR WEEKLY PAY

CAR A3D FOUNDRY TRUST TLA.T CLOSED AND 1,500 ME. IDLE. Dr. Patterson, of Fclrtnoant, lias a. "Wild nide on a Locomotive to See a Patient in Mat thews. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE, Ind., June 26.-As anticipated, over 500 employes of the American Car and Foundry Company refused to go to work this morning, and the big foundry. Iron machine shops and blacksmith shops, with 1.SO0 men, are idle, with a large amount of work waiting. The men made a second request for weekly payments this morning and for their last week's wages, and when they failed to get them, refused to go to work. A contract for GCO cars had Just been received from the Southern Railroad, to be finished at once. This morning a committee composed of Edward Woodward, G. Howard, Will Tyler, Horace Neighbors and Jake Cowman held a consultation with Prosecutor Montgomery In regard to brfi.glng action against the company lor failure to make weekly payments as directed by law, but It was finally decided to await tho coming of State Labor Commissioner Schmld to-morrow. So far there has been no demonstration of any consequence, and tho strikers desire to conduct their right in a peaceable manner, but a few drunken men congregated outside the gates leading to the company's yards and police had to disperse them. The company's gates were kept locked to-day apd none of the strikers allowed to enter the yards. , ... THE FATE OF CRIMINALS. Time Brings Retribution on Head of "Widow StolU's Murderers. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., June 2C. It is a remarkable circumstance that death and illluck has befallen all the persons Implicated In the murder of Mrs. Stoltz, at Portland, and some of the relatives of those implicated. . It Is also equally remarkable that Samuel Marshall should escape conviction when seven of the Jurors were for conviction and five for acquittal. Herschell Lafollette, the crippled boy, of Portland, who was implicated with Musser and Marshall cut hia throat when he saw the officers coming to arrest him. The body of the Muncie bartender, who was also believed to be an accomplice In the crime, was found in a decomposed condition hidden in a corn shock along the railroad where the murderers are supposed ; to have caught the train that took them out of the city on the night of the murder. -It is the opinion of lawyers here that Marshall and Musser quarreled with him. killed him and hid his body. He was missing from the time of the murder and had worked with Musser in the factory of the Indiana Bridge Company at one time. When Albert Musser was first, arrested he attempted suicide in the Alexandria Jail, but was cut down in time to save his life. During his confinement in the Blackford county Jail his mother died of grief over her wayward son. at her home at Lynn, Randolph county. The Jay county coroner who made the mistake In fixing the time of the murder of Mrs. Stoltz to Friday night instead of Thursday, which had much to do with Marshall's acquittal, has since died. Musser was convicted and is now serving a life sentence. Marshall has since been convicted of forgery and his father has committed suicide as a result of his son's disgrace. Last week, at Portland, occurred the arrest of Frank Cullom for burglary. Cullom was one of the first to be arrested as a suspect of the murder, but for want of evidence in the preliminary trial ras acquitted. He was captured wearing the pants of a man whose house had been burglarized, and stands an excellent chance of going to the penitentiary. Thus all who were In any way connected with the foul murder and robbery of Loulf a Stoltz are either dead or serving tlme'in-the penitenltary. There were five men implicated. A 1'Ot'XG DESPERADO. Willie Drown, Seventeen-Year-Old Marlon Boy, Held for 3Iurder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION. Ind., June 26. WTillie Brown, the young man who murdered Max Cunopop, owner of a pawnshop, in this city Saturday night, and who also shot the latter's partner, H. Horwltz, was arraigned this evening on the charge of murder In the first degree and was bound over to court and taken back to Jail to await trial. At the coroner's , inquest to-day several people testified to having seen Brown come out of the store and that he had a handkerchief around his neck. Andy Howard said he passed the store while the boy was having the scuffle with Cunopop, and that Brown had a handkerchief around his face. It Is now more generally believed than ever that Brown went Into the store with the purpose of robbery.- Cunopop's body was shipped to Chicago last night for burial. Horwitz is still In the City Hospital and his death is expected. The boy refuses to talk, but, his father said to-day that the boy did not own a revolver. He also denied that the boy was a reader of ten-cent novels. Wild ride for doctor. Engine Went from Matthews to Fairmount and Back in 3(1 Minutes. Special to the Indianapolis Jourcal. FAIRMOUNT, Ind., June 2G.-Saturday morlng at 2:30 o'clock a special locomotive was chartered at Matthews to come to Fairmount for medical assistance for Mrs. Palmer WJnslow, who had been taken dangerously ill. Tho messenger made the trip in the cab of the engine, summoned Dr. J. W. Patterson, who started on the return trip. It was a wild ride Just at the break of day, and in Just thirty-six minutes from the tlma the messenger left Matthews, Dr. Patterson was seated beside the patient. Sho is recovering. When It is taken into consideration the distance made on the entire trip, twenty-two miles with the necessary stop?, this is considered fast time. Mrs. WInslow is the wife of Palmer Wlnslow, a prominent glass manufacturer of Matthews, a niece of Dr. Patterson and was during her residence here a prominent society woman. ALTS FOR DRY AX TO CRACK. Will Xot Find Much Calamity When He Speaks at (ireendeltl. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENFIELD, Ind.. June 26, For ome time Mr. U. S. Jackson, of this city, Democratic committeeman for the Sixth district, has been trying to secure Hon. William Jennings Bryan for a speech in this city. To-day he received a letter from Mr. Bryan stating that he could come here and spend the day on Thursday, July 27. Mr. Jackson wired him at once that the day would suit and Bryan will be here on that day. Judge Tarvin, of Covington, Ky., has also been secured as well as other free-sliver speakers, and the Democrats expect to make a grand rally. Chances are that the campaign from the election of 1S0S will not die out until after the election of 1300.- The Republicans discovered ro many discrepancies in the bocks of county officers that they have been kecpln? the campaign up right along since November. Democratic officials and ex-officials have turned back into the county treasury between four and five thousand dollars of f?es Illegally taken. There are alo on the record at the courthouse nearly l.ix indlctmtnts which the grand Jury returned against county and ex-county officials on account of foos and other moneys taken illegally. Neither Bryan nor anv other man can attract the attention of the people of Hancock county away from these facts. The country in prosperous urier precisely the cor.Citlons that Mr. Brvan said it could not be prosperous under. The farmers and people of Hancock county generally were never so pre perou? as they are this year. Last year about $1,000,000 worth of real estate changed hands, and only about one-fourth of that amount was recorded in mortgages, which shows that three-fourths of the business was done on a cash basis. During the year the total amount of mortgages in the- county, both real and chattel, amounted to tf20.&Sl, while the releases were nearly twice that amount, being Death of Capt. Wnterhnusr. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. JEFFERSON VI LLE. Ind., June 2t.-Capt. J. T. Waterhauae. the pioneer railroader cf

Abner Leonard and Anna Palmer, daughter of the murdered man, wanted to be married, but the opposition of the girl's father stopped the wedding, and finally led to tho murder.

It is learned that the 'electric-light plant of this city, which was purchased Saturday ly R. Ellison, of Lagrange, and If. M. Herbert, of Cambridge, was i bought for less than $20,X. This winter quite ah Issue was raised when the city was negotiating for the plant. The Electric-light Company demanded $35,000 and not 'a cent less. ' Almost enough of the counrilmen were in favor of purchasing it at that figure, when public sentiment and a threat by leading citizens to enjoin such aT move put an end to the negotiations. The fact that the plant told for 20,000 is evidence that the figurot fsked the city was exorbitant. The city piva me company 53.000 a year for street lighting, and the contract has but four years to run, when the city will put In its own plant.

COLLEGE BOAT RACES

TWO-MILE FOCR-OARED COXTEST WON BY PEXXSYLVAXIA. Cornell Beaten Over a Length Freshmen Race Won by Cornell, Columbia Secotd, Pennsylvania Third. POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y.. June 2$.-The four -oared race over the tr;o-mlle course today was won by Pennsylvania in 11 minutes and 12 seconds; Cornell was second, time 11 minutes, 14 3-5 secondai Time of first mile: Pennsylvania, 5:29 3-5; Cornell, 5:33.

The freshmen eight-oared race between Pennsylvania, Columbia and Cornell, over tho two-mile course, was won by Cornell; time, 9 minutes. 53 seconds. Columbia was second, one and one-quarter boat lengths behind Cornell; time, 10 minutes. Pennsylvania was third, three and one-quarter lengths behind Columbia, time 10:11 Strokes: onehalf mile: Cornell, 34; Columbia 32; Pennsylvania, 35; mile: Cornell, 34; Columbia, 33; Pennsylvania, 34; mile and one-half: Cornell, 35; Columbia, 33; Pennsylvania, 34; two miles: Cornell, 35; Columbia, 34; Pennsylvania, 35. The races were witnessed by a larger crowd of spectators than-was expected. The observation - train of forty cars was thinly peopled, although eight or ten cars were packed tight with college partisans who had secured cars for themselves. At the crack of the pistol the two four-oared crew from Cornell and Pennsylvania took the water together, but the Pennsylvania stroke started at 36, while the Cornell stroke was only 34. The Pennsylvania stroke, while not as prettily rowed as Cornell's, had much raoro go In it, and before the boats had gone ten lengths the Quakers had shoved their boat's nose ahead of the Ithicans. Cornell had dropped down to the Courtney stroke of 33 to the minute, and, although inch by inch the Quaker's boat shoved to the front, they never increased during the mile. Just as they got under the shadow of the great bridge and when Pennsylvania had succeeded in obtaining a lead of almost a shell's length the ferry boat crossed the river and threw a heavy swell. It was either because the Pennsylvania bow oar, who did the steering, felt the effects of the swell and turned towards its contour, or lost his bearings that the shell turned almost directly towards Cornell, and, to avoid a seemingly probable.coUlsion, the Cornell boat was turned away also. Quick as a flash Pennsylvania straightened out again and when they cleared the great abutments It was seen that they had a lead of Cornell of fully a length and a Quarter, there being clear water between the boats. From this point of the battle to the finish there was little change unless It may have been at the mile and threequarter mark, where Cornell hit the stroke up to 31 and started to close the gap. But the Quakers, who had been rowing from one and a half to two strokes, per minute faster than the Ithicans all through the race, seeing that Cornell was spurting, whipped their stroke to 35 and crossed the line a winner by one length and a half. The freshman race was one of the closest and most exciting races eeen on tho river in years, the Columbia crew giving the Cornell crew a sharp and pretty fight for first place and making phenomenal time, considering the slowness of their stroke. At the sound of the pistol the crews got away in a bunch, but at the settling down of the stroke the crews' usual style It was seen that Cornell had poked the pointed nose of her shell a few feet ahead of the line. For the first half a mile the struggle was so exciting: that ppectators arose in the press cars and the observation train and cheered for each crew. Cornell was rowing a long. sweeping stroke of 34. while Pennsylvania was rowing at the rate of 35. Columbia was rowing a phenomenally long stroke, 32, the wonder of all the experts on the train, for the boat went along almost as fast as the Cornell boat. Close together the three boats hung, but there was Bomethlng about the way the Cornell boat seemed to glide over the water that made Columbia and Pennsylvania hearts go down. As the crews reached the mile mark, with the Cornell boat about half a length out from the bunch, Cblumbla seemed to gain, and there were 6houts of approval as the nose of the boat crept up. But the old Cornell form was there. Never did the stroke go above the 34 mark and the speed came from increased power in the stroke. Columbia was steady in Its stroke also, only hitting it up to 33, but the boat began to lose after the mile was passed and soon Cornell had a lead of a clear length. Pennsylvania In the meantime was steering erratic at the mile mark, going out of the course badly. In this way she lost speed and although the crew pulled a stout stroke and did It cleanly they dropped behind rapidly, the nose of their boat as they came under the bridge being Just even with the stem of the Columbia boat. The race after the mile and a half point was passed was between Columbia and Cornell, with some chance for Columbia If they worked hard. Amid the tooting of whistles and the cheers of the Cornell contingent the boats crossed the finish line, Cornell leading with one and a quarter lengths to spare and Pennsylvania foUowing Columbia three boat lengths beThe scene at Cornell's quarters after the freshman race was an Inspiring one The boys crowded about Courtney, cheering ChSlVe Tou're the stuff." they cried. They banged him upon the back, threw their arma about him and kissed him on the cheeks, forming a perfect babel. Jean came to Courtney's eyes, but bis face falrij be.r?lSo5 ' bofsV" he said, "and you deS5,.Sscrreadmed a ore of students; -you did it all, Charlie. You're a brick ;n there was more hugging and handshaking. After the freshman race both Columbia and Wisconsin 'varsity teams took hard Suns The water was then smooth as a pUcld lake.

The work of the Yale crew to-day was light. The 'varsity crew started In for Its day's work at 10 a. m.. and pulled a mile up the river and back, practicing starts followed by stretches of thirty strokes. This evening's work of the Yale 'varsity crew was similar to that of the morning but was down stream. The crew pulled down below the mile mark in short stretches and practiced several starts from the pistol shot. The boat showed great speed with the men showing marked advance In the catch and oS The recovery. The 'varsity four was out both this morning and afternoon, but their work was light. . . t Both Harvard crews went out together at 6:30 this evening.
