MIAMI COUNTY’S COURT-HOUSE.

In an appearance. A hundred or more people of this city remained,up aJI night, expecting to see trouble. Sheriff Dunn is a man of determination. The Miami county court-house, under which Jones Is held a prisoner, is one of the most picturesque buildings of Us kind In Indiana It la located in the center of a block In the heart of the city, and fronts on Broadway, the principal busineaa street. About the lot still etands the iron fence that was put up when the building wils completed, back In the fifties. The erection of the court-house was begun la IffiS, and the corner-stone was laid July 4, MM. while George Wilson. E. 8. Massy and E. A. Denlston were the county commissioners. The ceremonies were conducted by Peru Lodge, No. 67, F. and A. M., the oldest fraternal organisation in this city. The building is of stone and brick, and Is square, with a tower. 100 feet high, at the couth end There arc three floors and a basement. On the first floor are the county offices; on the second floor, the Circuit Court room, and on the third floor the grand Jury and other rooms. The three floors are connected by a spiral staircase. The basement Is the county Jail. This will be abandoned soon, as a new one. to cost fSO.OM, is under construction a short dis-

tance. away.

gome Stirring Scene*. This old temple of Justice has been the aeene of a number of stirring incidents. Two men committed suicide there. One man killed another In the Jail and & prisoner was taken out by a mob and hanged. One of those who took his own life was A young man of a well-to-do family, living In this city. He Jumped from the belfry to the ground, a distance of seventy-five feet, and sustained Injuries that resulted in his death soon after. The other was a stranger. He tied the bell rope about his nsek, then Jumped from the second floor,

thirty feet distant.

The first and only hanging, either by a mob or by law, that ever took place In Miami county, happened Wednesday, at midnight, July C, 1887, while Edward T. Grey was sheriff. James Christianson was taken out of Jail by twenty-five masked men and dragged to tbe bridge spanning the Wabash river at the south end ot Broadway, and there he was hanged. The day previous Christianson, while intoxl cated, shot Dr. E. B. North, the rallwsy hospital physician, of this city. The doctor did not die until the following Friday. Christianson bad quarreled with his son in-law, George Baker, and as the former got the worst of the affair he entered his ham and flred a shoe It was thought that the old man had committed suicide, and as Dr. North was passing he was

called to administer surgical aid. Hardly had the doctor entered the barn

when Christianson flred on him. One bullet entered the doctor’s chest, and he staggered back and fell. The murderer wae landed In Jail soon after. As the condition (4 tbe wounded man grew alarming the indignation of the citizens was aroused, and all day Wednesday lynching was openly talked on the streets. After the electric lights were turned out, at midnight, the mob battered down the heavy iron doors and secured the prisoner. When the mob reached the bridge the prisoner was asked if he had anything to say. He mumbled something about not knowing that it was Dr. North that he was shooting, and asked If ha bad a friend in the crowd. No one aniswered. In the excitement the mob forgot to tie the prisoner's hands, and when

was pulled up he caught kold of the rope to aave his neck. He was lowered and his hands securely fastened; then he was drawn up again, and in ten minutes

he was dead.

Murdered la a Cell. A most brutal murder occurred In a cell of tbe Jail Saturday evening at 6 o’clock. May IS, 1888. Adalbert Boyer, a young man of Cass county, while erased by drink, stabbed John Kephart, a Pittsburg <Pa.) cigar maker, to death. Kephart was asleep on a cot when Boyer ordered him to fet up. Ha did not do so, and Boyer cut his body full 6f hole* with a pocketknlfa The only eye-witness to the horrible tragedy was William Brennlng, who wae in the adjoining cell serving time for assault and battery. Boyer was sentenced for life, but was pardoned a few years A *A number of criminal cases of note hav* been tried In the old court-house, principal among them being that of Bill Green, for the murder of a man named Brumbaugh, of Young America.

Filipinos will soon be forced to surrender. He Is a born general. Under his command the km of life has been leas than under any other general, and more hostile Indian* have surrendered to him than to all the other generult together during recent years. Lawton also is an experienced fighter, and with these two in charge, I believe the Fflllyir.os would soon be crushed. At flrrt 1 was opposed to the Philippine war. but now I think every effort should be made to gain a victory. Put Miles m actual command, and this wiU be accomplished.''

After ali expenses are paid, there will be considerable surplus, and arrangement# have already been made to apply it toward improving and beautifying the grounds. An earnest effort has been made to wipe out the Indebtedness hang* Ig over the park, and new stock has been taken or pledged to the amount of onehalf of the present debt. The stock conUnues to sell well, and before next season there will be several new cottages built. The Rev. Wallace Tharp, pastor of the Christian church in Crawfordrville. agreed before he left the park to sell $1 000 worth of stock If the management would restock the lake with a thousand base. It Is needless to say how quickly the proposition was accepted by the park officials. The success of this year’s meeting Justifies the confidence of the people that a further rally of friends throughout the State will result In wiping out the entire debt. There has been no friction whatever among the directors, and all arrangements have been characterized by a pleasant feeling. Services on Sunday. Yesterday was another great day at the park. The attendance compared favorably with that of the two preceding Sundays, and the heavy rains on Saturday made the day even more pleasant. The exercises of the day began with Sundayschool at 9 o’clock. Mr. Conrad Wolf, of Kokomo, was superintendent. ‘‘The New Heart” was the subject of the lesson. Those assisting as teachers were: W. A. Foster, C. G. Cantrell, Simeon Frazier, T. J. Legg. Miss Shively and J. Q. Thomas. Followtrg this was an eloquent sermon by Wallace Tharp, of Crawfordsville, who is recognized as one of the foremost ministers In the State. After the reading of the scripture by L. E. Murray, of Ladoga, and prayer by W. A. Foster, of Cincinnati, Mr. Tharp spoke on ’’Looking at the Unseen.”. He chose his text from II Corinthians, iv. 18. He showed that the true secret of a genuine and great character is applying the principle of fashioning the soul after the Invisible in which the real glory of the gospel lies. A very touching solo, "Will the Books be Opened Over There?” was rendered by Mr. W. E. M. Hackleman, of

Irvington.

EXCITEMENT AT ACTON.

Two Runaways Yesterday — Visitors

Swarm the Grounds.

(Special to The Indianapolis News.] Acton, Ind., August 7.—Camp Acton adds two runaways to the list of its excitements. Yesterday afternoon, when the 5 o’clock west-bound train pulled out, a horse, hitched to a surrey, became frightened, and plunged down the road In the direction which the train was going. People began to run after it, for there were two women In the surrey. The train stopped, and the engineer Jumped out and ran after the horse. It was with some difficulty that the runaway was stopped. No one was injured. The engineer proved to be the son and brother of the two women in the carriage. Mr. Murphy is well known about the camp for his devotion to his mother and sister. The campers familiarly call him "Ted” Murphy. Mrs. Murphy lives near Acton, and every time her son passes through she is prepared to wave at him, for he

always blows a signal.

The other lunaway occurred in the pasture where all th* horses and carriages of the visitors axe left. A horue got frightened and ran about the past are, dragging the intoxicated driver, who was tangled in the reins, for some distance.

No one was injured. First Free Sunday.

Yesterday was the first Sunday that admlssioiuio the grounds has been free. Ali the countrywide poured in. It was a very orderly crowd, except for rude whispering about the windows and doors of the pavilion. They had to be reprimanded several times for laughter and talk. The pavilion was crowded at the three principal eervices. that Is. at the beginning. At the end of the services many seats were va-

cant.

The Rev. C. J. Fowler, president of tbe National Holiness Association, preached yesterday morning. He said that the church and the worid are trying to live more religiously than they have, not that the church is practlslnga, nypocrisy. but :hat It is on a strain trying to live up to what It knows is right, and yet Us heart is not in the condition to make this high life possible. He said that most Christians are Hoppers rather than flyers. Thoy start to fly, but instead flop right around in the place they were before. Hollnea# Free-Will Offering. Before the sermon a free-will offering was given. The Holiness people do not believe In charging gate fees. They have come to the grounds with no financial backing whatever. Mr. Ruth made a simple request for a free-will offering. A table was placed on the platform, and the people came section by section with their offerings. It was a unique sight to sec silver and bills lying scattered over the table. The offering amounted to $136. In the afternoon $12.81 was given, and in the evening $7.70. The total offering for the day was 3156.51. Dr. Carradine spoke in the afternoon and at night. Mr. Carradine is much wrought up over the meeting. He thinks that not enough work is being accomplished. He finds Camp Acton rather cold. Smaller services were held in ali the intervals of the day. The 6 o’clock prayer-meetings are well attended. There seems to be an Inspiration in the early morning light, for the worshipers seem happier then than at any other time. This morning the Rev. F. J. Keith, of Vincennes, preached. Dr. Carradine conducted the afternoon service, and the Rev. C. J. Fowler will speak to-night. Mr. and Mrs. Harris sing before nearly every service.

MRS. LEASE’S VIEWS. She 1# Conspicuous at the Spiritualist Camp Meeting. [Special to The Indianapolis New*.] Chesterfield. Ind., August 7.—There was an attendance of between four and five thousand people at the Spiritualist camp yesterday afternoon to hear Mary E. Lease discuss “The Contending Forces of Civilization." In an interview, while discussing the Philippine war, Mrs. Lease said that, not questioning the motive or righteousness or injustice of the war, “we are In it, and to preserve American honor and dignity w-e must fight our way out. McKinley spoke a grand truth when he said: ‘It is the nation’s duty and destiny.’ I deplore war, bloodshed and strife, but whatever seems to be our destiny is. after all, only an angel of evolution standing in eternal service on tbe high-

way of life.”

Mrs. Lease says she hag not abandoned politics. She has received sii ty Invitations from South Dakota and forty-five from Pennsylvanla to *pcak during the campaign of 1900 which she can not or will not ignore. She Is a pronounced socialist, and if a hall can be secured, she will give a speech on socialism during her stay here. On Tuesday at 2 p. m., Mrs. Lease will close her engagement and will lecture on "Ancient and Modern Spiritualism." The association, in convention Saturday, announced that they would not accept the challenge of the Rev. / D. Williams, and grant him the use of the auditorium in which to expose Spiritualism and explain the phenomena of seances and alleged nplrif messages. The refusal is mad* for the reason that the association does not care tc become a debating society. Camp arrivals from & distance are John M.

PENALTY OF GREATNESS.

Rickard ( raker Tells How the Reporters Worry Him.

The Ex-Governor Makes a Correction Concerning nn Alliance.

St. Louis, August 7.—Last week the New York Herald published a purported synopsis of Governor Stone’s views on party organization. The Herald credited the exGovernor with saying at Chicago that the Democratic party should, in 1890. make no alliance with other organizations. Governor Stone, to answer at once a great number of Inquiries from all over the country, furnished this statement: “The Herald article of July $1. 1# inaccurate. Senator Tillman and I are credited with having declared In speeches before the national committee that we opposed any alliances between the Democratic party and any other political organizations,and It is stated In the Her&id that this ‘pronunclamento encountered opposition, ’ but was ‘finally carried.’ I do not know Senator Tillman’s opinion on the subject mentioned, but I do know that neither he nor I made j any reference to that subject before the j committee, nor was It discussed In the committee by any one. The Herald article Is altogether Inaccurate in that particular. ] "Tbe statement in the Herald that the | resignations of Governor Aitgeld and ! Senators Teller and Allen as members of ■ the advisory committee were tendered and accepted is also inacdurate. No such resignations were tendered or accepted, j That is all I care to say about the Herald | article. After all, the article, which I i never saw until to-day, does not purport to quote me except In the one Instance I above indicated. I do not feel called upon to confirm or contradict the individual conjecture or opinions of news- ; gatherers. "I do not object to saying In reply to the Herald’s request, that I believe the I sub-committees which the national committee has authoriezd the chairman to appoint should be composed exclusively of members of the national committee. The natiotal committee represents the party organisation, and is composed of members cho#en by and representing the party organization In the several States. I incline to the belief that as we are now about to enter actively upon our work of organization throughout the country, better results will be achieved by enlisting the hearty co-operations of those who constitute the committee than by relying upon outside or auxiliary committees. In this I believe I voice the sentiment of the whole committee, including the chairman. This does rot mean that we do not appreciate the good preliminary work which has been done by the auxiliary committees which have existed heretofore. But we are now come to that point where the work of the party organization must be taken on a large and more active scale and every member of the national committee must be got into harness. Possibly special occasions may arise in future for special auxiliary committees, but the regular and controlling committee#, I have no doubt, will be made up of the members of the national committee." Aitgeld Mlsqaoted. • Chicago, August 7.—John P. Aitgeld denies that he has said tn an interview that "the radio might be abandoned or that the [Democratic] party might weaken o*- the ratio.” Mr. Aitgeld says that both at St. Louis and at Louisville he said that "to abandon the ratio would be to abandon the cause.” There, be aaya, are stlli his sentiments. Bryan will Apeak fee Goebel. Chicago, August 7-WOHam Jennings Bryan passed through Chicago yesterday from Wisconain to Iowa. He waa asked: "Are you going Into Kentucky during the campaign in that State?" “I am," be replied. „ w "Are you going to speak for Goebel T** ;;i am." "f do no/care to discuss that point.

London, August 7.—Richard Croker, before leaving London for Southampton, whence he sailed for New York on board the American line steamer St. Paul, denied that he had purchased the lakes of Killariiey. Speaking of his future plans, Mr. Croker continued: "I expect to come back to London next spring for the usual three months’ racing. The New York newspapers won’t allow me peace In my own country, and I am compelled to come over here for it. In England the newspapers do not meddla with a roan's private affairs, while in America reporters are watching my house and following me about the streets ln ; cabs and street cars. Why, I can’t even, go out of town without having a lot of*reporters on the train with me, who are going to print the names of everybbody I speak to and publish everything I do. I was driven away from America to find my pleasure, and then accused of being un-American because I come over her# for a little rest." As to local New York politics, Mr. Croker said it was not true that he had given orders before he left America that John Sheehan was to be defeated in his own district. The Tammany leader added that he never Interfered In local matters. "Mr. Sheehan's opposition," said Mr. Croker, "is not to me. The opposition Is to Mr.. Sheehan in his own district" o — Postmaster at Chelsea. [Special to The Indianapolis New*,] Washington, D.
