A SHERIFFS PLUCK i

Tir?est3 lis Lyiobinj cf EcCy Exps fcy a BloomeM, kdiata, Heb. Be 'Wm Taken to Viarnna Where Another Attempt to Ilaag Dim Wm Frustrated by the Jailer A Speedy Trial Promised. Elcomfield, Ind., via Elooxinoton, In3., Jan. lt. Tbe little town of Blomeld, situated in Crecn County, and not connected with the other world either by telegraph or telephone, was the scene of the wildest excitement Thursday night, three different attempts being made to lynch Holly Epps, the negro murderer, but each were tfcwarted by the bold Sheriff at the pistol's point Yesterday's dispatches staled that Epps was iu jail, awaiting a preliminary examination. All day on the street could be seen little knots of countrymen excitedly talking in a low tone that would die into a murmur when a strauger approached, and then the crowd dispersed. By 4 o'clock it was evident from the number of horsemen arriving from the vicinity of :olsberry what the result of the night would be: nor was the Sheriff to be deceived iy the organization that was going on about him, but quieüy had the proper papers made out for the removal Of the prisoner to Vincennes for safekeeping. Everything: was in readings whoa the loaignint rrowd discovered the plot. In au instant the vehicle was surrounded, awaiting the ppearaice of the wret'h who had so cruelly murdered their neighbor and lritixl. Epps was so ladly disabled by frozen feet lb at it was the iutcntion to seize him as he was being carried from the jail, but sounexrtdhad tten tie discovery of his intended rrmovi! that there was no time to orsran.ze. llardlv had they collected themselves when the Kherit?, with a cocked revolver in his hand, walked nt the murderer immediately behind him. carried by three men "The one that interferes is a dead man." said the otln-er oi the law, and showing the wepon in his hand. The ngro, praying for mercy from the crowd, was tumbled into the buggy and the hordes in a gallop carried the murderer to the south. The excitement knew no (ounds. The villain was gone before they knew it. But the indignant crowd were not to be put at lav, and started a second time for tiie prey. The com manl w as piven to get horses and follow the prisoner at once. The mob broke for the livery stables, and ttiose that had horses soon were in readiness, excitedly ridinz up and down the streets, though at no time was there any boisterous action. In less than ten minutes the horsemen were off, and as fast as they could eo, making for frwitz City, the nearest railroad point. In half an hour they returned, more indignant than ever, having taken the wrong road, it now being known that the escaping heritT, with his prisoner, was iat heading tor Newberry, ia another direction. The fury of the men was only increased, and though daiined, they were not tö be kept from avenging the tth of Dobsoa. At this instant the Coroner arrivea from an examination of the remains of Dobson. and for a pretext it was decided to Ssue a warrant for r.pps' examination, tobe held in Bloom field the x next morning, though the real object was to get the negro In their own hands. This was at 11 o'clock, and the excitement was intense. A few of the leaders held a consultation, and it was decided to start for him a third time, the idea being that he was not further than five miles in the country, where the Sheriff's father lived. It was alter 12 o'clock when they started, determined to capture him. 'I hey soon discovered that the murderer had passed the place in the country and was ou his way to Newlerry. But still more determined than ever, they kept up their wild night-ride through the cold and rain, though it was a distance of twenty miles, eince then the negro is safe in the Vincennes Jail. The cooler iudgment of the town did everything to discourage the mob. but it was of no avail Word was received late that Mrs. lobson's condition was grow ing dangerous, and this added fuel to the tames. It now appears that she is very badry hurt, and may not recover. Her breast and bead are injured, she was so badlv choked. I'n'ess she dies there will likely be no more trouble with the Vigilance Committee, as court meets in February, and a speedy trial is promised. Epps to the list denies injuring the woman. Later Word has juM reached here from Vincennes that a marked mob appeared at the jail this moraine, in which Holly Kpps, the negro, who killed Farmer Io.lson. is confined, and demanded the keys from the Jailer. The latter refused to give them up. and the mob then attempted to tatter down the jail door so that they n.iht obtain Epps and had hang him. The door, however, withstood the blows directed against it and the mob dispersed. It is stated that they will return to-niuht with largely increased members nd make a second attempt to get at the murderer. The sheriff in the meanwhile will endeavor to move Epps to Kvansville, Ind., where he will be saier than at Vincennes. NATIONAL AFFAIRS. Soddeo Death of Secretary Bayard's Kldest Ianght er Sharp Practice Miscellaneous. Wasiirs.TON, Jan. 16. Miss Kate Bayard, eldest daughter of the Secretary of State, died suddenly about 3 o'clock this afternoon. The reception at the White Houe was suspended immediately on recen t of the news of her death. Miss Bayard dropped detd at home jut as she was starting to the White House to attend Miss Cleveland's reception. Miss Bayard had accepted an invitation to assist Miss Cleveland at her reception this afternoon, and that lady and her guests, Mrs. Citley and Mis Love, who were a.so to assist at the rerif.tion. were awaiting Miss Bayard's arrival when they received the news of her death. It was just about five minutes to 3 o'clock, and the reception w as to begin on the hour. The Marine Band was stationed in the main vestibule, and tbe leader was conversing with Colonel J. M. Wilson with regard to playing a tune as a signal for the opening cf the reception. Many callers had already arrived, and were waiting for the doors .f the bine-room to be thrown open. The President was engaged in conversation with a vi-itor in the library, and Miss Cleveland and her guests were chatting with Colonel lamont in a parlor on the second floor prior to descending to the blue room, where the reception was to take place. The absence of Miss Bayard was commented on as singular, as she was usually very prompt in such nutters and was momentarily expected ioarrive. While they were wondering at her delay a messenger notified Colonel 1-amnnt that Mr. Harry Bryan. Private Secretary to Secretary Bayard, was ia his ol'ice nd had something important to communicate to the President. Coionel Lamont excused himself and went to see Mr. Bryan. That gentleman informed him that Miss Bayard w as dead, and tnat Secretary Bayard had instructed hira to communicate the fact to the President. Colonel Lamont at om'e informed the President, who was very much shocked at the unexjcted inteili--ence, and tne two gentlemen joined the ladies and announced the sudden death of their fnend. Orders were at once issued to close the houe. The band was dismissed and the people in waitsDg were notified that the reception had len ptponed. Cshers were stationed at the main door and at the carriage entrance to inform callers that the house was closed for the day. The news spread quickly throughout the city, and universal regret was expressed at the sad occurrence. The President, upon the message from Secretary Bavard announcing the death ol his daughter, recalled the invitations to a dioner which he had inlnd'! to give Mondar evening in honor of Mr. and Mis. Eiastus Corning. The immediate cause of Miss Bayard's death was disease of the henrt. S'he had ben troubled with weakness of that oruan, and had been treated try the family physician at Intervals for several years. At the reception at her father' house last night, it was remarked that Miss BavaTd was unusually animated and exertei herself to the utmost to eutertain the guests. It is presumed that the undue excitement may have precipitated the fatal end. When the youn j lady retired last nii;ht. st.e etpresHcd the wishjnotto be disturbed nntil noon. Eetweeu 1 and 2 o'clock this afternoon, her sister went to her room, and was at once alarmod at the pallor and death-like appearance of her sister's face, and. being nnab'e to awaken her, immediately summoned the family. As soon as the family recovered from their consternation physicians were summoned and powerful restoratives, including electricity, were applied, but in vain. The physicians exirsB tbe opinion that 3Iiss Bayard had been dead for several hours when her sister entered her room. The interment will take place at W'ilmlngton. Iel., probably on Tuesday, where Secretary Bayard's parents are buried. The news of Miss Bayard's death created a profound sensation throughout the city, and for a time, in tbe absence of tefinlte information, a number of wild rumors circulated. The facts, however, stated above are from an unquestionable source. PRaCTIf E I re! TH FART OF A LATE rsiTED STATFS COJ8t'U Charles Jona, of Madison, Wis., was nominated by the President to be Consul at Prague Ou April 1 isxv. Mr. Jonas is a native of AustriaHungary, but has lived in this country a number )i years. Tbe Austrian Government refused his exqnatur without further explanation than th.it he hat made speech's and written newspaper articles dmouDcitr the Government of Austria. Some weeks ago the Secreiary of State telejrrapbed Consul C.eneral Jussen, at Vienna, to go to Prague and learn, if possible, the real cause ii Austria's refusal to ecei7e Mr, Jona.

Mr. Jnf sen's report was Tore Ived at the State Department to-day. He says the feeling against Mr. Jonas was adroitly wcrked up by the iatter's predecessor. C. A. I'belj, cf Massachusetts, who believed that the withholding of Jonas' exequatur w ould result in the retention of him-eifand his Vice ousnl. Inquiry developed the faet that Mr. Phelps, during his residence in Prague, had identified himself with German and anti-Czechian element, and it was tnis element which set on foot the charges against Jonas. After the Germans bad entered the held as the champions of Phelns and the abusers of Jonas, the Czecby went to the rescue of their countrymen, and insisted that it would be an insult to the Bohemians if Mr. Jouas, after being honored with an appointment, should be disgraced by the refusal of Austria to accept him. The question became at once a political one of absorbing local importance, and the fact that Mr. Jonas was an American eitien, and nominated to ofiice as tin American eitien and not as a Bohemian, was entirely disregarded. The fight raged hot aud furious. Meetings wereneld by both parties. Tue oucsf.cn was submitted to tne members of the Bohemian Legislature, and count Taaffe. the Prime Minister, was threatened ia turn by each party in cae he disregarded their wishes. Ibeie appears to te no noubt in Mr. Jussen's mind that Count Taaffe, in refusing Jonas' exequatur, was influenced by what he regarded as the political exegencies of his administration, and gave no heed whatever to the courtesy due to this Covernmcnt. nor to the reil merits of the case. He believes the person si charge made against Jonas in connection with his jKilitical antecedents, were a men; blind tF hide the real objection, which was solelv that the issuing of his exequatur would irritate the iernian element of Bohemia and the City of Prague particularly. while at the same time it would strengthen the zech beyond measure, and be accepted by them a signal oi political victory of their nationality. Mr. Jussen further believes if at this juncture it had been explained toCount Taaffe by ex-Minister .Francis that Czechian aspirations had no connection with Jonas' appointment, and that Jouas, if installed, would have dared to take any interest in local politics. Count Taaffe's objections could have been speedily removed. On the contrary the protests of Mc Francis were so timidly pressed that they had weight with the Austrian Minister and Mr. Jonas was incontinently thrown over. A clearer understanding of the Austrian Government's objections to favoring the Czechs is found iu the fact 'that of the 7.000,'KX) of these people in AustriaHungary they are almost to a man in strong svoipathv with the Russians, from which race they originatq An effort is being made by Mr. Jonas' friends tljecr.re for him the I'ostinastership of Madison T5 indemnify him for his loss. TKI.F.rHONE MATTERS. Tte Attorney General, this morning, when asked as to the circular in which he would proDiiblv order the suit to test the validity of the Bell patent to be brought, said that he had as yet only heard of Secretary Lamar's decision through tbe new spatiers, and that lie should not decide until he received it officially. It is clear, however, froru what the Attorney (ieneral said, that suit will be brought iu some Circuit. The opinion of the Interior lepartment Hoard which investigated the telephone matter was unanimous. SENATE COMMITTKE OS I'l'BMC LANDS, The senate Committee on Public I-ands to-day authorized the Chairman, senator Plumb, to report favorably the bill introduced by hira to extend the laws of the I'nited States over the public land strip south of the State of Kansas. The bill attaches the strip to Kansas. The committee amended the bill by providing that land shall only i secured in this strip under the provisions on the homestead law. The committee also authorized Senator Teller to report favorably his bill to grant the right of way through the public lands for irrigation turioses. A MTr.lTlVE FIRE. . A fire this afternoon totally destroyed the loug line of three story frame houses on K street SouUiwest. between East Capitol and First, known as Howard's Bow, from tbe fact that it was by Geneial Howard that the buildings were construcied in the early stage of the war to afford homes for the friendless and homele-; negroes who sought shelter in Washington in their flight from the South. The row consisted of ten frame houses containing eight rooms each, and were constructed with a view to permitting the ue of each room by a separate family. It has, for tw'enty-five years, sheltered a small colony of colored people, the number of occupants varying irom two to nearly 400 persons. The occupants oi the upper rooms had, in some cases, heard no alarm siutil smoke and tire entered their apartments, and compelled a speedy flight for their lives. In many cases the frightened inmates rushed down the smoke filled balls, but in some instances this was impossible. Heekiah Wards. a colored man. found means of escape and climled from the third story window to the water pipe, and down It for several feet, when exhaustion caused him to relinquish his hold, and he fell headlong to the gTOiind. He was picked up bleeding and apparently fatally injured, and sent th the hospital man ambulance. The man's mother was in the room below him when she berime aw are of the fire, and jr.med from a rearwindow without serious iuiury. sme colored children, in half nude condition, were huddled together in the garret ot another oi the houses, and were rescued partially suffocated by smoke, and two or three old sick people had to" be carried to neighboring houses. About fifty families are rendered homeless, and 200 people are out in the cold. The total damage is estimated at t,000. REASONS FOR REMOVALS. The Secretary of the Treasury to-day sent a communication to Senator Morrill, Chairman of the Committee of Finances, in which he acknowledges the receipt of his letter requesting the reasons'' for the suspension of a "certain Collector of Internal Revenue and the appointment of another person in bis place, and tneu says, in substance: "-I would reply that, asyet, I have received no directions from the i'resident in relation to transmitting the papers and information called tor." About fifty applications from the same committee for similar iniormatlon were answered in the same way. VISCELLANEOrs. Mr. Charles A. Wetmore, chief executive oflioer of the California State Viticultural Committee, is in the city, and will remain several weeks, to consult with oflicers. of the administration and members of Congress concerning the best forms of legislation necessary to secure the continued prosperity and development of viticulture throughout the I'nited States. Mr. Wetmore comes with an official letter of the Governor of California, addressed to the President. It is learned, at the White House, that the vacancy in the office of Assistant Treasurer at New York w ill be filled next week. Senatorbherman returned from Ohio this morning. He expressed himself as much pleased with the cardial reception given hiin at Columbus. Ih the Criminal Court to-day Kit-hard Lee. alias Dick Sharrow, convicted of tfie muderof his wife, November last, was sentenced to be hanged, between the hours of 11 a. m. and 1 p. m., ou the second Friday after the adjouanment of the next term of court.

A meeting of the Pacific fclope Congressional delegations had )een arranged for to-night, to agree upon a uniform policy in the treatment of matters affecting that section to come up before Congress during the present session. As there were a number of absentees, the meeting was posponed until next week. The members present informally discussed the Chinese and silver questions. An Iowa Judge Impeached. Micatise, Iowa, Jan. 1. A committee consisting of ex-state Senator Plany Nichols aud John Mahone was appointed by the County Alliance today to present a report to the legislature for the impeachment of Judge W. I. Hayes, of the Seventh Iowa Judicial District. The report charges Judge Hayes with wilfully, deliberately aud persistently defeating the law by imposing merely nominal fines, and decreasing the amount ot subsequent offences instead of increasing them, as the law requires. It charges collusion with Litrict Attorney Gannon in requiring convicted saloon keepers to plead not guilty instead of guilty, so that tbe Attorney can gut double fees, and gives instances of men lined larger amounts when they plead guilty than when they plead not guilty. It charges the Judge with shamelessly reiuaing to apply .he law as changed by the last Legislature, requiring him to abate nuisances, the word "shall'' having been substituted for 'may." of Section 1. 5-14 ot the code. The report concludes as follows: ''He gives all possible aid and encouragement to the liquor traflic byjhis charges, opinions, decision, letters, circulars and interviews with the public press. In committing the above grave Offenses against justice and propriety he has, in many v ays, been guilty of gross and glaring malfeasance in office. Your committee are confident that they have In their hands, orat their disposal lor the use of tbe l-cvialatim-, ample proof of every of these statements."

MORMON DUPLICITY.

Cirenmttaneea Indicate That They Furnishing Arm to tne Apaches. Are Omca o, Jan. 15. Concerning the petition, of the Mormon colony at Pima, Ariz., to the Territorial Government fox arms and ammunition to defend themselves against the Apaches, a rpecial from Tucson, Ariz., says: "It is not Vnown what action Governor Zulick will take in the matter, but many suspicious circumstances are recently coming to light which indicate that this Mormon colony has all along been secretly encourgaing the murderous Apaches by supplying them with powder and trading them guns in exchange for stolen horses, which the Mormons sell in Mexico. Some of the Indian scouts recently employed by General Crook, while here, were toid by some friendly Indians who live in tLis vicinity that the Mormons of Pima were in league with Geronimos' band, and that the hostiles were on the most friendly terms with the Mormons. These Indian scouts, some of whom have since proven that they themselves were in league with Ceroninio's band, also privately told that the Mormons were getting ready to abandon their Pirna colony and'move over intoSonora; that in view of thii they were buying all the stolen horses and cattle that were brought to them either by renegade Indians or thieving white men. It has been anticipated for several weeks that the Apaches were running short of ammunition, and it is almost certain that they are seeking to obtain a fresh supply through their Mormon allies. This FiniaVolony numbers some 3,000 Mormons, most of whom are polygam ists. The Edmunds law has not yet been enforced among them, and they live in great dread of its execution." LABOR TROUBLES. A Serious liiot Between I'uion and NonI'nion Men. Chicago, Jan- 15. This morning a serious riot occurred at Halstead and Green streets between the srikers at Maxwell's and a number of new employes who were going to their work. But for the prompt interference of the police the result might have been quite serious. The strikers, who numbered about fifteen, were armed with clubs, while the non-unionists were more than three times the number of their assailants. The attack was fierce but short-lived. Only one man is rejorted as being injured. The police succeeded in arresting three men named llenry Lindelse, Thomas 0'Malley and Dan Mahoney. The prisoners will be brought before Justice Ingersoll to-day. A Letter From General Sherman. K.M.TiMonc, Jan. 15. The Suu will publish to-mcrrow the following letter from General AV. T. Sherman jn relation to General Grant and a recent statement in the North American Keview : s?t. Lovis, Jan. U, lsr. To Rev. George Morris, Baltimore: Pkar Sir I have received your letter of tbe "th w ith newspaper slip inclosed. Of course, I have read carefully the firt volume of General Giant's memoirs, and regard it as admirable in every sense, and now await the seeong volume, whicn I doubt not will be equally valuable and interesting. From the day I reported to hira from Taducah till his death our relations were as heathers rather than as commander aud eom man-led, and it is utterly impossible that 1 could have written or spoken the words as quoted in the J)ecemier number of the North American Review. I have a very lan;e correspondenev, and converse freely with thousands of people, and. as we naturally often speculate what might have been had Geueral Grant gone to the rear and C. F. Smith fought the battle of Shiloh, or what might have been had Washington accepted his warrant In the Knglilhnavy, etc., but that 1 could have written the positive expression "That had C. F. Smith lived General i.rant would have disappeared from history," is an impossibility. Personally, 1 want to live in peace and avoid all controversy, but 1 am confident In good time we shall learn on what authority or hearsay this publication is based. I enclose with this a slip containing my last public utterance about General Grant when 1 announced his death to his old comrades of the Army of tbe Tennessee, I don't believe any man living or dead has borne more willing testimony to General Grant's great qualities, especially as demonstrated at llenry, Ion-nt-Lson, thiloh and Yicksburg, than myself. Yours truly, W. T. Shervav. General Sherman incloses a printed copy of a portion of his speech to the Army of the Tennessee announcing the death of General Grant and eulogizing him in the most flattering terms. On Trial for Killing Her Husband. Axtk.o, Wis., Jan. 15. The preliminary examination of Mrs, Chadick for the murder of her husband, the Tostmaster of Deerbrook, has been begun here. It had been thought up to the present time that the State relied entirely upon circumstantial evidence and a decided sensation was caused when Mrs. Frances Lavine, being put upon the stand, testified as follows: "Mrs. Chadick came to my house on the night preceding the tragedy, about 12:., with some others, and wanted admission, which I refused. Then, the next morning, November ö , she came again, and soon after her husband came and wanted her to come home, and not be running with other men. She said she would go home when she got ready, and he went off, and in about ten minutes she saw him coming back, and said: 'If he undertakes to touch me, I I will lay him cold," and that she had a revolver in her bosom which witness identified as being the same one found near Chadick. llefore Chadick got to the house Mrs. Chadick went out and met him, and the witness soon heard firing and went to the door and saw Mr. and Mrs. Chadick wrestling. Shortly Mrs. Chadick fired at him five times. Mrs. Irvine oveheard the defendant tell her children that if anybody asked who killed their father to say he shot at her and then killed himself. On cross-examination she said the reason she had never told this before was because she was afraid of her life. Mrs. Chadick is a woman about thirty years of age, passably good looking, and appears in court well but plainly dressed, and listens with eagerness to every word the witnesses utter. Orange Trees Frozen. Mobile, Ala., Jan. 14. This has been the severest spell of weather experienced along this coast. It has continued with very little moderation since Friday morning. Monday was the coldest day ever recorded here. The weather is somewhat warmer to-day. The orange trees in this district are undoubtedly frozen, but if the sap is not running up they will thaw out if warm weather comes gradually. There are about lu.OOu trees here valued when in full bearing, at f 20 to 30 each, and producing annually a crop worth from S-'l.ouO tojoo. The crop for this year is lost. Whether the trees are dead or not can not be ascertained until spring. It is probable, however, that the greater number have ben killed. There have been frozen and killed, cabbages, which, if they had matured, would have sold for loo,0)0. Most of the farmers have a reserve of plants, and expect to make a crop somewhat late but as large as usual. He:iten by Itobbem. PiTTSiii nr., Jan. 15. A Ligonier, Pa., social says: Iletween 1 and 2 o'clock this morning three masked men appeared at the house of Samuel Robinson, who resides four miles south of here, and demanded admittance. Upon being refuses.! they shot several times through the windows, and fina'Jy forced their way in by breaking the door down. They then demanded his money, which they supposed was concealed in the house. Robinson told them he had nothing, whereupon they attacked him with clubs and chairs and beat hira until he was insensible. The villains then ransacked the house Ircm cellar to attic, but secured noth-

iug, and left in disgnst. Robinson is still unconscious and will probably die. He is about tly years cf age and resides with hi mother, who was too feeble to offer any resistance. The robbers, are believed to have been a party of tramps who were seen in the vicinity a few days ago. The whole country is excited, and if the murderers are caught they may be lynched. Swallows Strychnine With ratal Effect. Special to the SentineL Coryuon, Ind., Jan. 14. Our community was startled last evening by the information that John T. Deutsch, a wealthy farmer who lived five miles east of this place, had committed suicide. He came to town Tuesday and made his will, after whiAi he purchased some strychnine, which he said he was going to feed his hogs. Returning home he busied himself about his farm and retired early to bed. He arose at bis accustomed hour, and the gloom which had been noticed about him seemed to have settled. His children attempted to arouse kim from his despondency, but without avail. In the afternoon he took the poiäon which he had pure hased, and about 5 o'clock was found in a dying condition. Medical aid was summoned, but it arrived too late to save the rash man's lite. The deceased was about fifty years of age and a widower. He leaves several children, most of them grown. It is said that he was engaged to be married shortly to a respectable German lady of Louisville, but for some unknown reason she a few days ago canceled the engagement. Deutsch took his, disappointment very much to heart, and this was no doubt the cause of his committing suicide. Disputing Over the Property of a. Murdered. Family. Detroit, Jan. 15. Several weeks ago Frank Knoch, his wife and their two children were murdered and their bodies burned in the destruction of their home. Within a short time after the tragedy the relatives of the murdered family began to dispute over the little property that had been left. The right is now fafrly opened in tbe Probate Court. Last week G us and Herman Knoch filed a petition for administration of the estate, which is valued at .?1,00"). To-day a counter petition was filed by Attorney John "Ward, asking administration of the estate of Frank Knoch's children, George F. and Albert Knoch. This last petition, in behalf of Mary AVettman, grandmother, (ius and Herman Knoch, the theory being that Frank Knoch was murdered first, the two children becoming heirs, and their heirs being in turn the two grandmothers. The death of the paternal grandmother left the children heirs. The case rests on the question as to which of the family were murdered first. Water Famine at Cleveland. Clfaklani, O., Jan. 15. The situation so far as the water famine is concerned remained unchanged until 10 o'clock this morning, when it was found that 'water was entering the tunnel and an engine was started at the pumping station. This is still working slowly, and the indications are more favorable than for many hours. A great majority of the manufacturing establishments which depend upon the city for water have shut down. Nearly all of the courts have adjourned, as the steam heating facilities are frozen up. Hundreds of teams are engaged in hauling water from the lake with which to supply the thirsty families. Should the present favorable condition of affairs continue another engine will be put in operation at the pumping station as foon as practicable. Found Guilty of Attempted Rape. Special to the Sentinel. Svlmvax, Ind., Jan. 14. About six months Mrs. Charlotte Berlain, living twelve miles northeast of here, began prosecution against James M.

To-night the jury rendered a verdict of guilty with imprisonment in the County Jail for four menths and a fine of $700. Kennedy is sixty-five years old, married, with a family of grown children. Surrendered by His Itondsmen Discovered a Coal .Mine. Special to the Sentinel. Rloomitkld, Ind., Jan. 14. Mr. James' bondsmen surrendered him to the Sheriff on Wednesday last, and he is now in jail a waiting his trial. Mac Oliphant has just discovered a fine vein of coal under the old Richlind furnace, a mile from town. It is the same vein of coal as the Dugger mines, and has a four-foot six inch vein, six inches of fine fire clay, and on top of this eight inches of coal. Men are at work developing it.

A Little Child Koasted. New Haves-, Conn., Jan. 14. A horrible story comes from Wellinford. The report says that a colored woman living near Pondhill, wishing to call her husband, closed her baby up in an oven to keep it warm, the fire being nearly out. While she was away her husband came home and, unaware of the whereabouts of the child, built a hot fire. The woman noticed the smoke coming from the chimney and hurried home, but arrived too late, as the child was found literally roasted. Lnld to Itest. Special to the Sentinel. I'kku, Ind., Jan. 1.".

Anten Rubinstein, within three weeks, gave eeven piano recitals in Berlia and played from memory 185 different compositions by twenty-nine composers. It was probably the most colossal feat in the history of music Recent explorers in Alaska came upon a native village containing eleven male, five of whom were deaf mutes, while one of the women was wholly deaf. This state of things is recounted for by steady intermarriage, as no other Indians lived within several days' journey. The trial of Rev. J. O. Armstrong, rector of St. Thillips Church, Atlanta, Ga., is in progress. Mr. Armstrong is accused of immoral revelry during his vacation last summer when he visited Cincinnati, and claims to have visited certain bouses n search of a daughter of a dear friend who had requested him to .do so. The roval chanel where the thankscivinff v A . sJ " O service in connection with the twenty-fifth anniversary of the day on which King William ascended the throne of Prussia was celebrated is built in the form of an octagon, and is richly ornamented with frescoes. The altar is covered by a baldachin supported on four pillars of Egyptian alabaster. Dritish widowers with eligible deceased wives' sisters need not despair. The Marriage Law Reform Association is in a position to state that its majority in the new House of Commons is larger than in the last, in which their supporters practically numbered two to one. They are going to introduce their billin each House in the coming session. A rigidly condensed item of mining news is thus given in a Western medicfJ. paper: "In the olferino mine, Nevadaville, CoL, a loo?e rock knocked A. Warren out of the bucket. A piece of jawbone was found at tbe 1.200 foot level, and a piece of Bkull and his coat at the 1,30) foot level. These comprised his recoverable effects." Leprosy is declared by the Lansing (Iowa) Mirror to exist to a considerable extent among the colony of Scandinavians from Northern Norway, now settled near the village of Spring Grove, in Houston County, Minnesota. Doctors who have examined the subjects, who are in three or four different families (but are related), are said to have pronounced the malady undoubtedly leprosy. Americans are the third highest in point of numbers of the foreigners residing in Japan, according to statistics published in a native faper. The Chinese stand at the head of the ist' with 2,471 residents, followed by the English with (iLS, the Americans numbering 187. Although the Americans are far less numerous there than the Chinese or English, they occupy more houses, in proportion, than either. The Italian people have left off smoking cigars, owing to their indignation at a new law affecting the price. In Rome an association called the Pipeclub has been formed, every member of which refuses to smoke cigars. In Naples companies of young men parade the streets with long pipes, so that a regular revolution in the habits of the people have been effected. The Taris fire brigade is composed of 1,743 men and fifty-one officers, divided into twelve companies occupying as many barracks in different parts of the city. Important features of the system are the fortysix lookout stations, and the telegraph which connects all the stations with one another, and with headquarters, and is used for no other purpose. A Washington correspondent, writing of the President's New Year's reception, says: "I took a sketch of the Chinese Minister as he trotted across the vestibule in silks, satins and furbelow. He was the most striking figure among the dinlomates, and be is the tallest Chinaman 1 have ever seen. No adequate idea of the gorgeousness of his attire can be given in print. His robe, of the finest material, almost swept the floor, and he looked like a celestial king as he went in to pay his respects to the President" There are in St. Petersburg 40,000 drivers and as many lanitors or watchmen ; thousands of policemen, detectives, gend'armes and Cossacks patrol the city day and night. All of these now bless the city Chief of Police, who recently ordered fires to be kept burning in the streets, paying for the same out of the City Treasury. The cold has been so severe that in November, before the fires were provided, man v watchmen w ere frozen to death. A curious military point arose at the birth of the rrince $f Wales. It has been the custom for the officer on guard at St James' Palace to be promoted to a majority when a royal child was born. The guard was relieved at 10:43. At that hour the new guard marched into the palace yard, and three minutes later the child was born. The question arose which officer was entitled to promotion. The officer of the fresh guard claimed it because the relief marched in before the birth and the keys were delivered oyer to him; but the other officer claimed it because the sentries had not. been changed when the child was actually born. His men were still on guard, and he'disputed the fact of the delivery of the keys, arguing that in all probability this had not occurred at the moment of the birth. Although there was no precedent, the old guard got it. The Prince and Trincess of Wales, it has been finally arranged, will arrive at Chester on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Westminster January 19. They will be accompanied by their three daughters, and will be welcomed at Chester by the Mayor and corporation, who will present an address. The city will be gayly decorated for the occasion. Wednesday the royal party will leave Chester Station for Rockierry, where they will enter a special train and proceed to open the Mersey Tunnel. The party is expected to include the Duke and Duchess of Westminter, the Earl of Derby and Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone. Thursday the Eaton covers will be shot over by a select company, and Friday, if practicable, the Trince of Wales will join the Cheshire Hounds. The Prince and Princess will return to London by special train from Chester Saturday morning. Frank W. Fisher, Manager of the Detroit Electrical Works, has invented a new system of cash carrier and parcel carriers, by which the former difficulties in turning curves and in carrying parcels to the cash and parcel desks has been entirely obviated. The power with which the cars are propelled originates at the ends of each station or line in a simple contrivance, consisting of a cylinder tube and air-chamber, which a turn of a crank drives a small, neat piston against the car, which, in turn, speeds to its place Of destination with the greatest velocity yet attained by any carrier now before the public. Single or double curves dj not deteriorate it in the least. The power of these machines is unlimited, and can be adapted to almost any business.- This ingenious device is so arranged that one pump or cylinder will return the cars on from one to six lines, making a' very compact arrangement for the cashier's desk. A Hold Robbery. "Watertoww, Wis., Jan. 15. The country store of H. MolJenhauer it Son, in Lebanon, six miles northeast of here, was entered Wednesday night by Ave men disguised with handkerchiefs on their' faces, who presented cocked molten At the head of Henry Jt

Moldenhaner, living ever the store, compelling him to open the safe, from which they obtained $300 in money. The burglars then robbed Mrs. Moldenhauer of her jewelry, and next stole Mr. Moldenhauer's team and rode off, leaving the victims locked up in their bed-room. The horses were found one and a half miles north of this city, lying in a ditch. The perpetrators of this bold robbery are unknown. Was Misled. lEvansville Courier. The most unfortunate feature of the situation is that tbs President lias been misled by these imposters into believing in their cause. But the people of America are intelligent and courageous. They will not submit to the injustice that the people of Germany have suffered. There is not a representative from Indiana in the present Congress who will dare to vote to demonetize silver if he expects ever to face his constituency again, be he Democrat or Republican. The I'nited States should frofit by the experience of Germany and reuse to take the step which has brought poverty and oppression to the masses of that people. Killing the Viper. Richmond Democrat. For twenty-eight years the Republican party has regnlarly in convention resolved to wipe out polygamy. Like everything else with this party it has simply been "resolve" and no action taken. For a quarter of a century the Democrats have had no opportunity for doing so until the present. While the Republican party. a3 expressed by Senator Teller, believes in handling the question with "velvety hands," the Democratic party are filling the Mormon's coat tail full of boot toes, and will continue so to lift them until this curse on God and country are entirely banished. A New Democratic State. lLogansport Pharos. Land Commissioner Sparks has wrested 250,000 more acres from the railroads, the same having been illegally held by the Southern Pacific Road in California. Mr. Sparks has already saved enough land for the Government to make a good-sized State. If it were all in one body, how would it do to take it into tne Union and - christian it Democracy ? Suppose We Did ? Auburn Courier. Several members of Congress tavor coining silver dollars that will contain a dollar's worth of silver. That would be a good plan if silver would keep the same market value it now has. But what will they do when it gets lower? What will they do when if becomes dearer? Will they coin a new dollar at each change in price? Suppose we put a dollar's worth of paper in each paper dollar? Yesterday's municipal election at Knosville, Tenn., resulted in the re-election of J. C. Luttrell, Democrat, lor Mayor by 433 majority. Out of nine Aldermen elected six are Democrats and three Republicans. Kain fell all day and only 3.S00 votes were polled, .lames Candon, brother "of one of the candidates, shot and dangerously wounded John Childs at the polls. Both had pistols.

Itest Goods are Put in Smallest Parcels. The old proverb is certainl v ture in the case of Dr. Pierce's "Pleasant Purgative Pellets," which are little, sugar-wrapped parcels, scarcely larger than mustard seeds, containing as much" cathartic power as is done up in the biggest, most repulsive-looking bill. Unlike the big pills, however, they are mild and pleasant in their operation do not produce griping pains, nor render the bowels costive after using. The Medical World says that an easy method of removing bits of foreign bodies from the eye is to place a grain of flaxseed under the lower lid and close the lids. The seed becomes quickly surrounded by a thick adherent mucilage, which entraps the foreign body and soon carries it out from the angle of the eye. DYSPEPSIA Causes its victims to be miserable, hopeless, confused, and depressed in mind, very irritable, languid, and drowsy. It is a disease which does not get well of itself.
