The Tomer a Soldier of the Civil War and the Latter in the Philippines. (Special to The Indianapolis News.) MAKION, Ind., March 16.—Telepathy, or the aympathetic affection of the mind or body of one person by another some distance away, through a supposed emotional influence, and without any direct communication by the senses, may seem Improbable, as well as Impossible, but. nevertheless, it is now a study by many of the wiser heads. While scientists axe trying to devise means by which this latest branch of science may be better understood, an example of It has recently occurred within the boundaries of this county. A father and a son were soldiers. One had served during the four years of the civil war. and Is now spending his declining years In the home provided by tha Government, south of this city. The son was a soldier In the Philippines; one of the first to be sent to the far-away islands to fight the Spaniards and insurgents. Johial Curtiss, a private in Company E5, Thirty-sixth Indiana Infantry, was the father, and George W. Curtiss, prorate In Company G, Eighteenth Infantry, was the son. On the 11th of January, of this year, the father, a member of the Soldiers' Home, retired to rest, as usual. He had been asleep, how long he did not know, when he suddenly became conscious of a sharp pain in his head, which partially awakened him. He raised himself In his bed and In the dim light of the little gas stove, he saw the form of a man with a revolver In his hand. Other men In uniform standing about the room completed the picture. His first thought was that an attempt was being made to rob or murder him. Then his senses became more clearly defined. He was fully awake. He looked again and the room was empty and quiet, except for his presence, and his own labored breathing. Upon search, not a sign of another person could be found in the room. He continued the search outside, but with no better result. Finally he gave it up and returned to his cot, but he felt that there, was something wrong. He suddenly thought of his son. The Son was Dead. George W. Curtiss, the son, was with the second transport load of troops that went to the Philippines over two years ago. He was detailed under the quarter-master-sergeant, and assisted in the quartermaster's department. It was after the arrival in the Islands that liquor first passed his Ups, Its use daily becoming more of a habit, until on the Uth of January last he wandered off to himself in th« city of DoUo, and took his own life with an army pistol. The father, who knew nothing of the circumstance except through his strange feeling, was eure there was something wrong, but It was not until the first of this week that he received communication 'rom Manila, telling him of his son’s suiclda The mental strain from the night the father felt the bullet enter his son’s brain through this systemic affection, was very great, and was only turned to Intense sorrow when the official Information was received. George Roberts Curtiss was burled In the Englisa cemetery at Hollo, In grave No. 88. The body will be brought to this country and will be Interred at Spartansburg, where he lived before enlisting with the United States regulars.

THE MISSING LINE.

A Witness to the Record-Miller Affair at Wabash. rf j eclaJ to The Indianapolis News.] WABASH. Ind., March 16.—Last August Charles Miller was struck a blow on the head by William Records, and died a few hours later without regaining consciousness. Records was tried for manslaughter, the plea In defense being that the blow was not struck to kill, and that the skull of Miller was fractured by striking the pavement. Two persons were In the vicinity of the spot when the assault occurred, but they could not tell whether or not Miller struck the pavement with sufficient violence to produce death. Last night W. H. Wilson, of Indianapolis, who passed through the city, inquired what had become of Records, was Informed that he was sentenced to ninety days in jail for assault, and was at Liberty. Wilson then said that he was strolling along the street when the attack was committed on Miller, and was within a few feet of him when the blow was given. Miller, he said, was very drunk and was quarreling with Records, and when Miller turned away, Records delivered a blow with his fist on the back of Miller’s head, and the latter, Instead of falling, sank slowly down on the walk. Mr. Wilson declares that It was simply Impossible that Miller could have fractured his skull by the fall, and attributes it to the blow struck by Records. This was the missing link In the chain of evidence. Mr. Wilson explained that, believing the fight was a drunken row. In which he did not care to Interfere, he had said nothing about it. The lack of this proof caused the State’s case to fall to the ground, and Records got off easy. He can not be tried again.

TREACHEROUS FILIPINOS.

Profess Friendship, but will Kill When Opportunity Affords. (Special to The Indianapolis New*.] WABASH. Ind., March 16,-Dan Deal, of this city, now a member of Company D, Seventeenth Infantry, serving in the Philippines, writes home that while for a time the soldiers believed the war'with the Fillplnoss was over, there is now prospect for plenty of fighting. He is stationed at Bongabon, 150 miles northeast of Manila, and he says that it is not sfcfe for a soldier to walk down the street without keeping a close watch on the population, as the “niggers” lie in wait to attack the invaders. Seven Americans, he declares, had recently been killed in that manner. Deal says that all the natives tip their hats to the troops and evince great friendliness, but the moment the faces of the men are turned, the "amigos” are transformed into desperate enemies. Deal observes that his regiment captured several hundred native soldiers, who at once claimed to be "amigos,” but were seen to act suspiciously. 'When released, they took up arms and resumed fighting. The officer in comitoand ordered the men to begin killing Filipinos, and the prisoners confessed they had hidden their arms and surrendered, expecting to be released as “amigos.” They disclosed the hiding place of their guns. . ~ A Landmark Torn Away. fErrcl&l to The Indianapolis News.] ENGLISH, Ind., March 16.—A log house, one of the oldest land marks in Crawford county, has been torn down at Marietta to give place to a more pretentious structure.

THE BANNER BUSINESS PLACE*

The Good Times Which Have Come to Milan. [Special to The Indianapolis New*.] VERSAILLES, Ind., March 15.—The little town of Milan, in this county, is the boom town of southern Indiana. Five years ago it was a decaying village of only several hundred inhabitants. The water and coaling station of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad was the only enterprise it boasted. The streets were irregular and muddy; the sidewalks as bad or worse. But about that time an era of industry swept over the place, and in a very short time the town boasted of more business than any town in the county. The firm of C. Arkenburg & Co. began to deal extensively in lumber of all kinds. Their plant, which was at first only a small, low-power engine, and one saw, has grown into a well-equipped mill. During the last few years the firm has made a specialty of tent-pins and poles, turning out several million of each for the Government during the late war, and smaller orders for the different States from time to time. J. L. Stites, who is the surviving member of the firm, graduated from the State University some time in the 60s, and he is one of the prominent business men of the State. His pay-roll at the present time Is something over 8200 per day. His mills are never silent, except on Sunday, running day and night. He utilizes every kind of timber, from the scrubbiest beecb to the finest oak. When asked his opinion as to the much-talked-of timber scarcity in this county, he replied that twenty-five years would not exhaust the supply. Within the last year one of the finest store buildings in the county has been erected there by J. W. Conyers. A bank has been Incorporated and a new banking building erected. A business exchange and real estate offee are thriving. An electric plant has been put in, and the town is the only one in southern Indiana, according to its size, which is lighted by electricity. An immense hotel, a tile factory andTa large flouring mill add to the bustle of the little town. The population is only about one thousand, but ii is thd banner business place of the county.
