The body was quietly placzd in an old corn crib, where it was fourd the next day. an t buried after a coroner s jury had held that death was due to natural cau.-es. The tacts have only just come to light. Great indignation

Indianapolis, April 28.—The second day’s proceedings of the Indiana State Republican convention were marked by some extraordinary scenes, and Tomlinson hall was crowded probably as never before. The long existing Interest in the several contests before the convention had given all classes a keen desire to witness the proceedings, and long before Chairman Watson called the convention to order at 9 o’clock every point and coign of vantage in the great hall was occupied. From the first moment the enthusiasm of the convention was apparent and culminated for the first time in the extraordinary and unanimous nomination of Frank Hanly for governor, upon the withdrawal of the other candidates, when such a furore as has not been witnessed in that hall for years
ensued.
The convention was called, to order at 9:05 o’clock by Chairman Watson, who at once plunged into the business of the day. The report of the committee on credentials being adopted, the resolutions committee reported through Its chairman. Ward H. Watson of Charlestown, and the report was adopted. The several planks of the party’s platform were received with much enthusiasm. At this point Chairman Watson handed the gavel over to Governor Durbin, who called for nominations for the offices for which no contest had been made before the convention, and the following incumbent officeholders were renominated by acclamation; Secretary of State, Daniel E. Storms; Auditor of State, David E. Bherrick; Treasurer, Nat U. Hill; Attorney General, Charles W. Miller; State Superintendent, Fassett A. Cotton; Judge of Supreme Court, Second district, Oscar H. Montgomery; Judge Supreme Court, Third district, John V.

Hanly’s Nomination. The call for nominations for the of flee of governor was then made, and the names of J. Frank Hanly of Lafayette. W. L. Taylor of Indianapolis, W. L. Penfield of Auburn, and Warren G. Sayre of Wabash were placed before the convention. Before the result of the first ballot was announced, Madison county announced that it had changed its vote. The apparent effect of this upon the several candidacies was obvious, and other counties began to announce a similar change of vote. This created a stampede for Hanly and Messrs. Taylor, Penfield and Sayre withdrew from the race, making the nomination of Mr. Hanly by ac elamation. The brief speech of Governor Durbin introducing the nominee of the convention to the delegates was well received, and In making his speech of acceptance Mr. Hanly carried the en

The great work of the Juvenile Court under Judge Stubbs as must be suggested by the report for the first year, filed last week with the Governor is the personal element that It introduces, and in more ways than one. For example, more children under sixteen were brought into this court in one month than were brought into the Police Court in two yedrs. Thus the Juvenile Court in its cfficial expression does good in being an instrument tor looking after children alone. Hundreds of boys and girls it has rescued from evil ways, where the Police Court had let them go unavresled and so unhelped—that is tbe spirit of this court: To help. For a child to be brought there from some avenue of vice means that it is to be helped into the way of right living. Vicious children a.e not merely offenders; there is as much misfortune as fault in their derelictions This thing the Juvenile Court understands and applies itself accordingly. During the year 740 cases were con: sidered and of these 594 were disposed of without reference to institutions of correction. Here is an admirable personal feature of this court’s scheme. Another is that good cuieens vo^unteet to probation officers for children. The great majority of these children have simply started or been started wrong, nnd what they need is the helping hand—not tbe rod of correction. So tbe court—for nearly 000 of its 740 cases—remands these children to the routine of lite again, but with a guaidian to look after them And here is another pathetic thing: It has been found in majority of cases that when a boy who has been thus remanded begins life again under the advice and care of a guardian, It is like a revelation to him, so different are the influences and outlook from those of of the old life in which be was fast being hardened through the successive stages of vice toward crime. It is a great work that the court is doing, and it should invite the wideet response in offers of volunteer guardship and in general information and moral support
