An Indianapolis detective Is in correspondence with the rela tives of Wash Brown, living la Franklin, who was murdered in Morgan county a short time since, stating that if a sufficient reward Is given for the apprehension of the murderers he can produce the parties. - The county of Morgan otters f-500, and the relatives of the murdered man offer fsOO, making 1,300, for the arrest and conviction of the guilty person or persons. It will be recollected that several persons were arrested on suspicion, among them some of the chlldien of the deceased, but were discharged for want of testimony to convict. The developments in the Stewart-Bess shoot ing aSrsy of Saturday go to show that Bess procured a pistol to shoot Stewart, but became too drunk to carry oat his intention.

TIXCESaJES. The A bslltion of Primaries A. LargelyAttended Faneral. Special to the Sentinel: iscKNNZs, March 21. As telegraphed to the Sentinel last night, one of the most gratifying results of the primary election Saturday was the vote aoollsbing primaries as a means of nominating candidates. It seems almost incredible that they could have existed as lODg as they have, in the face of continued opposi tion an opposition shared equally by both parties and all good citizens. Of coarse, the 'usual grumbling Is heard on the streets to day, bnt the ticket is generally indorsed as a strong one. The funeral, yesterday, of the late John W. Maddox was the largest in point of attendance seen ia many a day. The funeral discourse by llev. E. P. Whallon, at the Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Maddox was a member since Its organization , 45 years ago, was brief, but peculiarly appropriate. ' A special train from vansviile brought the directors of that road, who attended in a body. BPEXCEB. Escape of Prisoners frana the Owes . Coualy Jail. Special to the sentinel: Spekceb, Ind., March 21. The prisoners con fined In the Owen county Jail effected their escape on the night of March 22 by breaking open a door on the west side of the J til. The door Is fastened by a bar which reaches across the Inside of the Jail door and Is fastened by a staple on each side, one of which was drawn from Its fastening and the bar slipped to one side. This gave the prisoners but little obsta cle to liberty. Two of the prisoners came to the residence of Sheriff Wood about i o'clock Sunday morning, called him np and said they wished to get back to their old quarters. Imagine the surprise of Sheriff Wood when he opened the front door of the Jail residence and discovered Simon Infield, in on a charge of bastardy, and Harry Hawkins, serving ont a fine for at tempted rape. - The other prisoner, Madison H. Hnbble, was in Jail on a couple of 1 indictments, charging him with Redaction, and also on an indictment for subornation of perjury. Up to the present time no elue has

been obtained In regard to the fugitive. This

Special to the Sentinel: Con Y nox, Ind March 24. The suicide here, on Saturday, of Leonard Keller, a wealthy and enterprising merchant, has caused a most painful sensation. He had been indulging in drink to excess for a long time, and his family being solicitous for his reformation, nsed every argument to induce him to sign the pledge. This he would not do, and became greatly irri tated over the fact that his family were ardent temperance workers, and this made their domestic relations very unpleasant. On Saturday Keller went to the Iron bridge over Indian creek, west of the city, and divesting himself of a portion or his clothing, leaped into the stream, which was at flood height, and was quickly drowned. Keller left a letter, direct ing the payment of his debts and the educa tionofhis children. He was a Mason, Odd Fellow, Knight of Honor and Worklngman, No doubt his too frequent potations unsettled his mind.

GENERAL TELEGRAMS. The Case Against Brown, the Telegraph - Hauaarer. .- : St. Lotis, March 24. Mr. Brown, manager of the Western Union telegraph ofHce, "instead -of appearing before the grand Jury this morning with the dispatches called for by the sub poena daces tecum served upon him Saturday,

went directly before the criminal court with his attorneys, Messrs. Allen & Lodge, the latter of whom stated at length the reasons why Mr. Brown could not produce the dispatches demanded. The court then asked Mr. Brown what he would do in case one or more of the parties concerned consented to have thtir tel egrams produced, and stated that he had received a letter from Governor Phelps saying he was willing any telegraph office should present to the grand Jnry any dispatches he had sent to either Neldlet or Wakefield. ' M. Brown replied that under the rale of the telegraph company Governor Phelps or any other sender of telegrams could obtain his dispatches, on personal application or by a request, written over his own signa ture. Judge Laugblln then continued the case until! Friday, when he will hear the argu ment on both sides. In conversation the Judge said he understood and appreciated the importance of the case, reco mzed the wide attention It would attract, and if the telegraph company desired to make it a test case he would not commit Mr. Brown to Jail, but If it became necessary In the progress of the case to inflict punishment on him it would be merely nominal. The petition of Mr. Brown, manager of the Western Union telegraph ollioe, to vacate the' order authorizing the subpoena, duces tecum, and to recall the subptena presented in the criminal court to-day, sets forth as the reasons why he should not, and can not. produce the dispatches demanded that he Is simply a ser vant of the company, and has no authority from the company to deliver the dispatches, but, on the contrary, has been Instructed by his superior officers not to produce or testify a to the possession by the company of such telegrams as are referred to in the subpo-na; that it is not certainly known that Buch telegrams as are demanded are in possession of the company. The snbpeaa is rather a search warrant,and the process inquisitorial, not Judicial; that the telegraph company Is protected from such interference with its mes sages by the public policy which lies at the bottom of the fourth amendment to the federal constitution, and of section 11, article first, of the bill of rights of the State of Mis souri. It also claims that the petitioner would render himself liable to criminal and civil prosecution under the laws of this State should he obey the subpreua, and refers to Judge Cooley's article In the American Law Register of February last, in regard to this subject, and disclaims any obiect, purpose or motive on the part of the petitioner In pre senting the petition other than to perform his duty to his employer, bis country and his' State. The Democratic Caucus Committees. Washington, March 24. A meeting of the Democratic Joint caucus committee was held this evening for the purpose of considering the proposition suggested at the meeting of the Democratic House caucus committee on Saturday, and also the preparation of other measures to be presented to the Joint caucus of the Democratic members of both Houses to be held to-morrow after the adjournment of the Senate. There was considerable discussion upon the propriety of adopting the full views of the caucna of Saturday, the result being a determination to reject the proposition of Representative Springer concerning the array at the polls and ballot regulations. The dis position of the committee favored no affirm ative legislation. It was agreed to allow two supervisors, who are not, however, to possess the right of counting the ballots, but only to be present as witnesses at the polls, and they are to be qualified voters at the precincts where they act. The Panic in San Francisco. Sax Francisco, March 24. The usual diver sity of theories exists as to the cause of the present break in stocks, but tho weight of opinion attributes It to the uncertain state of feeling prevalent in banking and other business circles, occasioned by the approaching election on the question to adopt the new constitution. The proposed document . meets , with no , favor in financial circles, and the general opinion there seems to bp that its adoption will cause grave business depression. Another theory accepted, by many attributes the panic to a combination, the object of which is to affect public opinion on the election. The workingmen have adopted a new constitution as a party measure, and are urging it strongly, and it Is probable that it will meet with con siderable favor In some portions of the State among the farmers, bnt business classes are arraying themselves sgalnst It with even greater vigor. ' The Striking Hluers. PiTTsnCRfl, March 24. Toe striking coal miners of the Upper Monongahela, in conven tion at Elizabeth, to-day decided to remain out for their demand of three cents a bushel, and a committee were appointed to wait upon the miners along the Youghlogheny and at Castle Shannon, to induce them to Join the movement. Over 1,000 miners were present at he meeting to-day. and although very order. lo, seemed very determined. The action taken to-day will doubtless result In an almost uni versal and prolonged strike of the miners in this region. Bates Restored Ia Favor of the De fendants. St. Louis, March 24. It appears now Uiat the Ohio and Mlssltslppl and Indianapolis and St, Louis railroads have also restored the rates to the East.

A fresh case of plague has appeared at Wetlianka. - , . The History of the Beard. Xot many years ago, it was hardly respect able to wear beards: bat the beard move' ment resisted and ridiculed at first, has conquered, and grows more and more the fashion to grow on the lace as a foil cover ing of hair as can be coaxed out. 'The beard,' the natural clothing of the chin, says a very old Lnglisn writer, "was in an cient times looked upon, not as a trouble some burden, but as a dignified ornament of ripe manhood and old age." Oar present generation, however, cares nothing for "Uignined ornament in dress, but very much for convenience and utilitarianism. It sees in the beard, and. above all. in the mustache, a natural dvfenca for the throat and face against the cold, aud equally, in warm ciwnates, a protection of these parrs sga.in3t excessive heat- Persons who wear mustaches are said, on rood au thority, to be lets liable to toothache than others and it is also said that the teeth are less apt to decay. The beard and mustache equalize the temperature to parts they cover with their protection, ihe sappers and miners of the French arm y.are chosen in part for toe size and beauty of their beards, enjoy an especial immunity against bronchitis aud similar evils. It Is related that Walter Sav age Landor was a great sufferer from sore throat for many years of his life, but was cured by the surgeon of the grand duke of Tuscany, who advised him to let his beard grows. "Ye shall not round the corners of your head, says" the Scripture in Levitens. In ancieDt times all men and gods wore beards. The glory and beauty of Jupiter's beard are dwelt upon by liomer, when the lather of gods and men is first brought Into the Iliad. Alexander the Great first Intro duced shaving, saying that in his Asiatic wars the beards of his warriors "might afford a handle to the enemy." It became the rnaik of a fine gentleman to wear no beard in Greece, and dandies even removed them by "sharp pitch-plasters," as well as razors. Home bean to shave about 130 years before the Christian era. ocipo Afri can us, the younger, it is said was the Itornan gentleman ol note who shaved every dev. in Lie.af s time, young gentlemen ot raebion wore a sllcbt goatee, bat the fall beard was only worn in mourning or in days of great public calamity. Cesar Augustus and rsero were closed shaved, but the beard revived again under later emperors. The ancient Britons.1 cut on their beards upon the chin. bat wore long shaggy hair and enormous tangled mustacbea A young barbarian in some German tribes never "reaped his chin" till he had slain an enemy. The Saxons wore the mustache, the JSormans shaved. Peter the Great, desirous of de-Rtusianiziog his subjects, imposed a graduated tax on beards. Men of tbe upper classes paid 100 roubles ($70) yearly for the privilege of not shaving their beards, and poor people kopec (about one cent) apiece. Close shaven facts back among our ancestors with Charles II., beiDK another of the things for which England had no reason to thank the itestora tion. During the reigns of tbe four Georges cropped chins were universal, and though our grandfathers still sneered at "beardless boys." as a figure of speech, they daily labor ed to be beardless themselves. Afloat and ashore, whatever the difficulties of the oper tion, officers, soldiers and seemen shaved every day. During the past 50 years beards have been first tolerated as eccentric, then accepted sa optional, and at last we have been restored to fashion and honor. We now bold, with one ot tbe old bards who celebrated Henry VIII.'s beard, that J A wefl-thatched face Is a comely grace, And A shelter from the cold.

BETRAYAL ASD DEATH,

Sad Senuel tm lhe Iliads-James Duel af December Last Terrible End al a BeauUlal and Accomplished Young Lady Tha Death Ded Sews. Baltimore DLpstch to N. T. Herald.1 -The Hinds-James duel in December last. the particulars of which desperate encounter were published in the Herald, bas a peculiarly distressing sequel in tbe death, at her residence lest evening, of Miss Lizzie James, who. it is charged by the James family, was betrayed bv Hinds. M isfl Jump it wu a vnnntr lady of more than ordinary personal attractions, of engaging manner, intelligent, educated and accomplished, and her death nnler sucn circumstances naturally proved a rrible blow to her relative and friends. Ibe death-bed scene wss a harrowing snectacle. Following the birth of her child, puerperal convulsions, superinduced bv ex citement and grief, set in, and the unfor tunate victim yielded np her yonng life in great agony, surrounded by ber griefstricken parents and other near relatives, with tbe name of tbe man she loved, not wisely but too well, on her lips. For some time previous to the duel and before any suspicion of trouble existed it was wellknown to her friends that she was stronelv attached to Hinds, whose family was op posed to their intimacy. It was remarked by some ladies and gentlemen, who were present at a large private excursion of a West End social club last summer, how pleased and happy Miss James seemed on the afternoon of that day when Mr. Hinds reached the grounds where tne excursionists were and joined ber. and it was also noticed that he was tender in his manner and devoted in his attentions ined, it was the general remark of the friends of both parties that in spite of parental opposition they would ultimately make a match, and those who knew Miss James certainly , never anticipated the terrible results that were to follow. THE SAD DISCLOSURE. Tbe affray on Baltimore s reet. with its sad disclosure, was crushing in its effects upon both families, tbe parents of Mr. Hinds seeming to take the matter to heart almost keenly, if that were possible, as the parents of the unfortunate young lady, who has ever since been in the most pitiable con dition. Her mind constantly reverted to the man whom she loved, and during per iods of delirium, which were cot infrequent, her cries for him were agonizing. Her mother, who appears to have grown older by years during tbe weeks that have elapsed since the exposure, endeavored to procure a Visit from Hinds, bat did not succeed. THE DUEL. The duel between Hinds and voung James took place at about 11 o'clock on the morn ing ot December 23, in the basement of Uobert Moore A: Co.'s store, corner of Baltimore and Hanover streets, where Den wood B. Hinds, one of the participants, was em ployed, ihe assailant was William M. James, a brother of the unfortunate lady, and a clerk in the employ of the shoe bouse of Buck, Httrlebower t Co. Both were members of the Fifth regi ment. James' reputation has always been that of a quiet, gentlemanly and well-be baved young man; but the belief that his sister had suffered the worst injury that wo man can receive had driven him to despera tion. - Having received from Hinds repeated refusals to render his sister the only satis factory reparation possible under tbe circumstances, he drew a revolver and began firing upon him. Hinds promply respond ing in like manner. Both displayed unllincbing courage, tiring shot after shot at such a short distance that it is wonderfut eitbrrescapen.Abou't a'dbzen snots were exchanged before the combat ended, Both received wounds that narrowly missed vital parts, aDd both ultimately recovered. Hinds did not appear against James, but left the city and went to Bellaire, O., where he remained until a short time ago. His present whereabout are not known. SHOOTIKO AH ACTOR.

Last night about 1- o clock, after tbe Ward & .Barrymore combination had finished the play of "Lnpicmacy," the company repaired to the depot ; to await tbe train. Maurice Uarrymore, B. V Porter, and Miss Ellen Cummens of the combination, were in the "White House lunch room eating a lunch, when James Carrie, a de tective, who has been working for the railroad, entered the saloon attached to tbe building. He made some slighting remarks about the lady, when he was tpld by one of the men that she was a lady, and nnder their charge, and not to insult her.

Maurice Barrymore, B. C. Porter and Miss Josephine Baker wentinto the restaurant adjoining the waiting room to get coffee and lunch, in rear ol this room is a saloon, with a door open between. James Carrie, a Texas Pacific railroad detective, was seated alone in tbe saloon, where be could see the parties in the restaurant. Shortly after the entrance of the above named persons Currie called out. "That e a high-toned woman you have there with you." Barrymore replied, "You're mistaken there; this ia a lady under our protection: you must not insult her," and added, noticing Currie's evident intoxica tion, "we don't want to have any trouble with yon." Currie rose ' to his feet, and. advancing, said, "Will you take it up?'1 Barrymore answered, "No, we don't want to take it up. We are both unarmed; leave us alone." Currie walked nearer, and with tbe words, "I don't like to be talked to this way," drew a six shooter and fired, tbe ball passing through Barrymore's left arm and through the upper part of the chest, coming out below tbe shoulder at the back. At this Porter stepped up, and, placing his hand oh Currie's shoulder, raid, "Come, now, you've bad enough of this." With an oath Currie tthrew the revolver down against Porter's body and Bred, the ball going through the abdomen and coming out at tbe back. A bystander came in and Carrie fired at him but missed.

The policeman, an old man without arms, entered soon after. Currie nut np his revolvers and onietlv sub mitted to arrest.

How ta Hake n Freah-Watar Afawian. Tbe fresh-water aquarium or drawingroom fish pond is a nleasing and interesting ornament for a city or suburban town. It is chesply and easily made, and requires but little care. Comparatively few persons can adorn their homes with costly pictures and statues, but almost any one with love of nature and art can have an aquarium, fulfilling in miniature realities the glowing and poetic water P legends of Northern and Oriental climes. It ' is the expression of the cultured taste, more tban the embellishment of wealth, that makes a charming home. A tank for a fresh water aquarium may be constructed of four plates of glass, with a large piece of slate, marble or metal for ' the bottom; or tbe tank tnav b roade wholly of metal and set like a large sink in a bay or oriel win dow. We have seen an aquarium of this kind surrounded with growing plants, in the midst of which is a miniature cottage cov ered with mosses, a perfect living picture, as it were, ot the charms ot rural life. Tha successful fresh water aquarium is a thing of recent date, and we can not better give a view of its requisites than by showing how it was perfected by the Knglisb naturalist, Mr. Warrington. It nsed to be found a difficult thing to keepeven gold and silver fish alive for anv considerable length of time in the common glass globia. I ish emit carbonic acid gas. which soon poisons a confined body of water, destroying animal life. It was. however, at last discovered that plants consume this gas. using as food the noxious vapors emitted by animals. Starting with this principle, Mr. Warrington set about breeding fish in tanks, with the aid of marine plants. He succeeded admirably at first, but after a time, a change came over his little world. The water became impure and the fish perished. By the aid of the microscope he discovered a vegetable poison arising from the decaying plants. But in rivers and ponds plants decay without destroying animal life. What was the reason? 'The experimentalist went to a pond in the vicinity: and explored the bottom with care. He found decaying vegetable matter, but, likewise, water snails doing duty as scavengers. In constructing your aquarium you will, therefore, supply the water with growing plants, such as delicate grasses, mosses, ferns, and with snails and mussels to consume decaying - vegetation. If the window-sink is nsed for tbe aquarium, it is well to surround it with growing plants like I the "t '1ft lily and tA bottom with clusters of pebbles and marine shells. In selecting fishes for the aquarium, gold and silver fish will of course have the first choice, and after that the minnows. The beauty of these fish, their habits, and the . management they require are too well known for -an extended notice in a necessarily brief article. The perch is a suitable fish for a fresh water aquarium, for a reason that may not be well known. It is one of the few fishes that may be trained. and made to show its docility by taking food from tbe fingers. The pike, which is the shark of fresh water, may be put into an aquarium with gold fish and perch, but not with other fishes. Even with the gold fish it is cot fully to be trusted, as when hungry it has been known to eat its own species. The trout is a handsome fi?h, with its crimson, spotted sides, but. like the pike, must be well fed and kept away from smaller fishes. The eel may be used with safety a small one, and frogs may be kept with larger fish. The merot may also be added to the happy family, notwithstanding the antipathy against it on account of its resemblance to the lizard; it is perfectly harmless. Dor- , ing the breeding season it exhibits a variety ot shining .colors orange, olive, green, with a mottling of brown and scarlet. The water spider is a curious insect, and, if possible, should be secured for the aquarium. It spends the greater part of its time beneath tbe water, coming to tbe surface to seize its prey a ad to obtain a fresh supply of air for its sub-aquatic home. Reclining figures of plaster may be added, and if the tank be a large one, an artificial island of stones, mosses and ferns, with a siphon foun-. tain, may be made in the middle. Uar Canned Edibles Ahraad. Baltimore Sun. An account of a Christmas dinner at the United States consulate at Bangkok, Siam. indicates how widely distributed are American preserved viands in distant lands, and to which .Baltimore so largely contributes by its extensive packing establishments. An American may go to the ends of the earth, and yet subsist on tbe products of his own country. At the dinner in question, thousands of miles away, in addition to turkey and chicken and corned beef, were American mince and pumpkin pies, salmon, lobsters, mackerel and clams, with California potatoes, Philadelphia tomatoes, Schenectady asparagus. California peaches, Baltimore raspberries. New Jersey pears and Connecticut blackberries. It may seem remarkable to the average reader that all this American fish, flesh and fruit should be procurable at Bangkok, but he must remember that onr edibles of almost every kind go in cans to every part of the world, the national enterprise in delicacies prepared for the table following, if not preceding, the wandering American wherever he may stray.
