Calkins and Frank llendryx, charged with the murder by drowning of tho woman's husband at Llkhart lost April and the confession in jail hero last Friday of Mrs. Calkin?, who implicates herself in the crime and criminates her supposed whilom .paramcnr, Heudryx, as the chief affgreasor. The matter was kept a profound secret till tonight so a3 to give the ollicera time to place prominent witnesses under bonds. Mr?. Calkins was arrested in lule, Mich., last YVeduesdy'and llendryx fin Chicago last night. The story of the frightful crime and tho Hibsequent events are a.-? follows: On the i'.rd of lait April, Mr. and Mrs. Edniond Calkins, who had been married but three days, together with a former friend of the latter, Frank llendryx, went boat riding on the St. Joseph river. In the evening llendryx and Mrs. Calkins returned wet to the akin and paid that the boat had upset and that Mr. Calkins had gone to the bottom. A search wad at once made for the body, but it was not found for three days. In the mean time serious suspicions of foul play had been aroused. Calkins was an old and respected citizen of Elkhart and at one time editor of the Lor .Vi'ki, a Knight of Labor organ. He wa.s eixty years of age and moderately well ofl". lie and his wife had only been married three day? and it was found that she had induced him to will his property to her and take out an accident insurance policy payable to herself. Fhe had been twice married before and was considered a rather ay female, llendryx was a man of good character but had always befn on pretty intimate terms with Mr. Calkins before her third marriage. The body of Calkins was at last found but by that time suspicions had become so strong that a poet mortem was held and a search for poison made. Nothing suspicious turned up however and the verdict of the coroner was to the elTect that the deceased came to his death by accidental drowning. The insurance agent however upon the liret demand being made refused to pay over the insurance money, claiming foul play, and,strang to say, Mrs. Calkins never made any further demand for it, but in a short time she and llendryx left Tikhart, being all the while under the constant surveillance of the officers. The matter was apparently dropped, but the present grand jury returned a bill charirz the two with "the murder of old man Calkins for tho purpose of geting his money, and in accordance with this bill Mrs. Calkins was arrested at 'ile, Mich., last Wednesday, and with her boy of several years of no brought down here and jailed. On Friday she made a full confession, criminating llendryx as the chief aggressor, and last night he was arrested in Chicago and brought here at midnight, fhe, in her confession, says that the boatride was deliberately planned by them for the purpose of murdering Calkins, and that all proceeds of tho crime were to be divided between them, the savs that llendryx drugged her husband before getting into the boat, and that when in a dazed condition he got up to change his teat Hendryx gave him a push and he went into "the water to rise, no more. They then soaked themselves thoroughly fo as to srive color to the story that the boat had upset and returned home to tell their concocted story. She is thoroughly frightened and prostrated and seems tb thick that in giving the snap away will, Ln some way, let her escape punishment. She refuses to say anything to any one except Attorney Mommert, and as for llendryx, he will not talk at all. She is a handsome, blackeyed woman of about forty years of ajje, and with her infant eou'looks anything but like a murderess, llendryx knows nothing of the confession and sits moodily in his cell refusing to say anything to any one. Unless something unforeseen a3 yet intervenes he will certainly Lang. FARMERS IN COUNCIL. The Shelby County Institute Holds An Entertaining Session. Shelbtviixk, Jan. 10. Special.

Levi of near Newtonville informs us that through the notice we gave about his apple tree which bore, three crops, he has been so fortunate as to find a lone lost sister of whom he had not heard for thirty vears. The paper fell into the hands of his sister, Mrs. Lou Clifford, of MeCordsville, Ind. She saw his name and wrote to him, and after thirty years they have been reunited Chrimey Sun. Rabbits are so numerous in the orchard region of Clarke county that they have again become a pest. Hundreds of young peach and apple trees have been girdled by them, and fruit-growers are afraid to set out trees for fear they will be de stroyed. In another section of the county foxes are in such force that appeals are being made to the Clarke county kennel club to bring on its hounds and chase the reynards. In the neijiborhood of Jeflersonville hawks are gathered in unusual numbers and are destroying the quail, entire coveys being extirpated during the recent snow.

The earthquake reported in Madison county recentlv was also experienced in Tipton. The rirst shock lasted for about thirty Feconds. while the second lasted half as long, and several minutes elapsed between the two shocks. Thoueh oscillating influences were from the east to the west, and a low grumbling noise followed each one of them, no damage was done, though a number of lieht articles were moved from their positions. The vibrations were much stronger in the eastern part of the county than at Tipton. There have been several shocks felt at Tipton since the opening up of the gas belt. Last Wednesday a st ranee character appeared on our streets who attracted considerable curiosity. He was dressed in red pants, wore pum boota, a fur bat and had thiown around him a brown woolen blanket. He claimed to be a native born Fiji Islander and says that he is ninteyeeven years old. He claims to be the son of a chief who ruled the tribes, who were regular cannibals. He claims to have eaten many a meal of human flesh, and pronounces it the most delicious dish he ever sat down to. When about forty years of age he was turned over to the missionaries,w ho converted him and took him away from the island. He claims to have traveled in darkest Africa, the numerous Indian sea islands, all Europe and Asia. Tipton AJrocatr. The strange woman of Tipton has recently been referred to frequently. An exchange of that city says: "The storekeepers never sell her anything. Not because they were afraid to, but because she was never known to buy anything at any store in that town. Where "she gets what she lives on no one knows. She seems to have, plenty of money and enough to eat, but no one knows where she gets it. Some have 6aid that this woman is J. Wilkes Booth, the murderer of President Lincoln, as ehe very much resptnbles him in features. Sometimes at night she has been seen dressed in men's clothes, going along the railroad track, picking up ties and carrying them to her yard. as though they were mere sticks. She lives at Tipton'now. and will coutinue doing so, perhaps, until the day of her death, aa ehe has lived heretofore, a mystery." Indiana Pcnilonl. ORIGINAL INVALID. Samuel Brisker.
