The town ha? quieted down a?ain tonieht after the early morning tragedy. Turley's body was cut down eoonaiter daj-iight, and the coroner returned a verdict to the effect that the dead man ha I been hanged by parties unknown t. the coroner. The account published in tne second edition of this morning's Sentinel is substantially correct. The mob carno from Jackson county on the F.vansville & Richmond railroad. Tho train consisted cf a locomotive and three Hat cars used for construction work. Alter marching up town the crowd halted within a block of the jail. Pickets were tnen placed oa all the streets leading to the jail, and no one was allowed to pass w ithin the prescribed limits, and no one knew what took place after Turley was taken from the jail except the men "who did the work. SheriiJ Holmes was awakeuod at 2:10 a. m. by a knock on the door, and in answer to hid question "Who's there?" the leader replied: "A prisoner." There had been several arrests during the day snd night for drunkenness, and the sheriiF thought he reoornized the voire cf ight Watchman Harris, and he opened the door. Instantly he found himlelf face to face with eeveral ugly looking revolvers, and he was commanded to throw up his hanJs. He finally complied with the request and his keys captured by one of the mob. After shewing eeveral eelected men where Turley's cell waa he seemed to vanish out of si-'ht. Accounts vary as to just what happened at this time, borne eay the leaders told Turley that they would give him twenty minutes to pray end make hia peace with heaven, but that te never uttered a solitary word nor made a plea for mercy. Another account is that Turley struggled against the mob and the trombiing wretch begged for mercy, crying at the feet of his executioners and screaming at the top of hia voice from fright. The executioners wer either dumb to his appeals or cursed him roundly. A strong rope waa thrown over the murderer's head and ho waa 80-n dangling from a limb of a etcut jail-yard tree. The lynching was conducted in a most orderly fashion, Turley'e cries being the only Bound heard. A guard was left near the body to prevent it being cut down before daylight. The body hung in full view of the trains which pass the jailyard, and all tho trainmen gazed en the dangling tody astbey packed. Forty-tLree men took part in the hanging, ail of them being masked. Fifty others stood guard at diLeren points over the city, Turley. in a cowardly manner, aspaginated Conductor L. F. l'rice at Mitchell Saturday. It seems that Turley offered the conductor an old peps. It was, of cours, refused and, after an altercation. Turley's lather, a wealthy stockman of Lawrence county, paid his eon's faro, Price was then standing in the doorway of the car with his back toward Turley. The latter had followed Trice, aad when a few feet of him fired two ehots. Loth builbfj went into the condutor's kidneys and came through the stomach, l'rice lingered but a few hours. From the time Turley was placed in jail here there has been great excitement, the talk of lynching growing louder hourly. Seymour, May 15. Special. The news of the lynching of John Turley 'reached here in copies of thj late edition of The Dentin" el "o sympathy is expressed for Turley, but citizens generally denounce mcb law. Louis Trice, Turley's victim, lived hre and was very popular. Following so on upon the HHsarssination of Henry Fataler bv Lou Trenck of Indianapolis, the dastardly murder of Price occa?ionad tho wildest excitement, and late Saturday night Trice's friends would have executed summary vengeance upon hia murderer could ha have len reached. Price's remains were re'urnd to this city via fcDCcial train, end arrangements were made for the burial, which will he had tomorrow afternoon under the auspices of the O. II.

Shortly before 1 o'clock last night groups of marked men were obperved gathering near the tracks of the L'vansviile & llichmond railway, and within an hour nearly two hundred were rendezvoused at a given point. No one eeemed to know from whence they came, but their si!er.;e indicated tho deadliness cf their purpose. An engine was raady to pull out for "We? tport, but ai the engineer was in the act of applying Fleam he found himeelf confronted by cocked revolvers, and both he and hie fireman were ordered to dismount. The engine was then manned by tbh mob and was tacked on a eide-track and coupling made to three Cat-cars, which were speedily filled by the lynchers. The train then pulled cut for Tedford.

Willie Smith Has t Keturn of Violent l'arnsysms. Hartford City, May 11. Special. All over the country the newspapers have characterized The Sentinel correspondent at this place as the Dakota liar, etc, on account of tho report of tho very strange aflliction of Willie Smith. Yesterday was fully demonstrated the truthfulness of the reports given, and all of the witnesses are ready to substantiate The Sentinel's former report in their story of what they witnessed. "Willie is now staying with his grandmother on the old farm, the game place where be lived when bitten by an old yellow cat some three years ago. He has only had one paroxysm for nearly a year, and The Sentinel correspondent faithfully and truthfully reported the same. Now comes several persons that saw the poor boy yesterday during one of the worst paroxysoi6 he lias ever had, among them Sheriff Groves of this. city and Wildy Watern, both reliable citizens. Tliey make the case out even iore mysterious and marvelous than The Sentinel reporter. Mr. droves said it was one of the strangest and saddest tiphts he had ever witnessed in his life. The boy was seized with an attack and at ouce ran for the timber, and ewiftly and with the agility of a cat ra:i up a tree for fully fifty feet or more, where he began to hiss, spit, purr, froth at the mouth and gnaw at the tree, end the sheriff avers that he gnawed tho bark from the tree until it can be plainly been from tho ground. He remained in the tree for fully three hours. A score of lriends and neighbors collected and every etlort to get him to come down was fruitless. Whenever anyone would attempt to climb tho tree in pursuit he would start toward them with his mouth open and snap, spit, hiss, froth and meow like a cat. When tho attack left him he came down from his lof:y perch and at once fed asleep and was conveyed home, all unconscious of the imminent daDgt-r that threatened him while suffering iroin the mysterious and dread malady that so seriously and terribly aiiiicts him. What is it? The Sh.NTiNEL reporter believes the cat to havo beon subject to tita and during a paroxysm the boy was bitten and became inflicted with a specific poison, and it has imbued his system with the virus or poison unt.l it now produces these paroxysms bo similar to that ot the feline family when suilering from an attack. Firct the boy was bitten by an old yellow cat that was mad, as he expressed it. The first paroxysm occurred about six months afterwards. The boy had forgotten tho occurrence until his attention was called to it by The Sentinel r porter, who, being a phyeician, had been treating him. Then he gave the history ot the injury as heretofore reported and showed the ecar on the index finger that the wound had left. He acted like a vicious cat, before his attention was directed to the cat bite, to. it had made no impression on his mind. The case is onn not for levity and sport, and if the poor boy must endure the terrible trial of these attacks, such men as Sheriff Groves, Wildy Waters and a host of others can bear witness to the actions of the boy when Buffering from an attack. There is nothing, no act of an enraged feline that the boy does simulate, and as the paroxysm passes off he turns about in his bed as a cat would do, lies down, puts his arm over his head, purrs for a whil?, then goes to sleep. On awaking to consiousness he does not evenreme;nbet a single transaction that occurred while thus alilicted. Willie is a boy of twelve years of age and of a good family. He is more than ordinarily bright, hale, hearty and free from any affliction other than the paroxysms reported. He sleeps well and eats well. His digestion is good and he is of an aflable and social nature. hat is it? THERE WILL BE NO STRIKE. Operators and Miners Agree at the Terre Haute Conference, TEr.r.p. Halte, May 10. Special. The Indiana bituminous miners' fight is over and the operators have won practically ail there was to be won. There will be no etrike and the scale for the coming year has been signed. The bituminous miners' scale committee and operators' committee were together till past midnight last night but failed to reach a settlement. The miners agreed to accept last year's ecale, 7U cents per ton, on certain conditions. One of the conditions was that the wages of the day men be increased from $l.yJ to Another condition was that the wages be paid w ekly as provided by law Instead of semi-monthly. The first condition was agreed to but the operators refused point blank to consider any proposition for a weekly pay-day. Another meeting was was held this morning which resulted in a settlement, and work will be resumed in all the bituminous mines tomorrow. A contract was entered into and signed by both parties to govern the scale of prices for the year ending May 1, 189L The miners accept last year's scale, the wages of the day men are increased 10 cents per day and wages will be paid semi-monthly as heretofore. A new feature of tho contract is that the president of the miners' organization and the president of the operators' association are made a committee of two with powers of substitution to investigate and settle all grievances that shall be referred to them. ARREST OF BOY TRAIN-WRECKERS. Precocious Youths Who Have Made a False Mart iu Life. Muncie, May 15. Special. Willie Thomas and Fred Jenkins, each aged about fourteen years, are in jail in Muncie, charged with attempting to wreck a Tig Four railway train at Daleville this morning;. Willie, aged fourteen, son of Henry Thomas, an engineer in a sawmill at Bengood, twelve miles from Shelbyville, and Fred Jenkins, the same age, son of a farmer residing near Bengood, ran away from home last week, going to Alexandria. The boys are not well versed in the ways of the wicked world. Their first car ride was on the trip to Alexandria. They heard Muncie. and Saturday evening

Baking Powder

came to this city. Laßt evening they inquired for a train home and found that none went until this morning, and started to walk. They took the wrong road and soon landed at Yorktown. There they boarded the front end of a baggage car, but were found by the conductor, who put them off. The lads then continued their walk and about 8 o'clock reached Daleville. Just before arriving at the town they stopped at the switch and placed a dozen or moro car-pins in the frog. The lads then wi'nt to Daleville and purchased tickets for Anderson. A man noticed them placing the obstructions on the track and notified the section men. The obstructions were removed and tha boys taken in charge. They were arraigned before the justice of the peace at Daleville and plead guilty to placing the obstructions on the track. They were brought to Muncie by two of the section men and placed in jail. The story told by the boya is as follows : "We got on the train at Yorktown expecting to pay our way to Anderson. Wo thought the steps where we got on was the right place, but could not open the door. The conductor did not ask us for money. We had no tickets, the office not being open eo that we could bur them. Without giving us time to explain the conductor kicked us off and left us there. When we came to the switch we p aced the iron on the track, wanting to get even for the bad treatment given us by the cruel conductor." Car pins and links were fastened in the largest frog at a switch which is on a etiarp curve. There were a dozen or fifteen pieces in the track, either of which would have wrecked the train. The Southwestern limited express No. 17 was due shortly after the discovery was made. CONGRESSMAN COOPER PLEASED. The Tension Commissioner Rescinds the Order of Completed Files. Columbus, May 14. Specials-Congressman Cooper is in receipt of a private telegram from Washington announcing that the new commissioner of pensions has rescinded the "Order of Completed Files." This famous order, known to the bureau and to pension attorneys as order "So. 151, was made by Commissioner Kaum. It was made under Buch circumstances as to create the almost universal belief that it was made in the interest of George E. Lemon, a wealthy Washington pension attorney. This order provided that any claimant might apply to have his claim put upon a 'iiat of completed files'' by filing a statement that his claim was complete and ready for adjudication. Such claims were to be takn up at once without regard to the order in which they were filed and given immediate consideration. The evidence taken at the Kaum investigation showed that this order was made on- the t'.th. ot January IK'JO, at the request of Lemon, and that the day following Lemon indorsed Kaum's notes for $12.000. The report of the committee, which was shown the correspondent by Mr. Cooper, contains the following: Under order 151, from Feb. 3, 18'J0, to the 6th of August following, Mr. Lemon certified to the completed Lies S.110 case, which at the lowest rate allowed by law, would make hia fees 431.100. There waa no evidenoe produced before this commutes to show thut the note indorsed by Lemon had ever been paid by the commissioner. We submit that this was not a bona rids transaction. We say that it is a fair intereooe thtt this iodorsemsnt was made in consideration of otbeiul action on the part of the commissioner favorable to George K. Lemon. Mr. Cooper is highly pleased with the result. Not only because of the final and complete removal of this order, but, as he says, because it shows that Judge Loch re n understands the situation and is not to be influenced by the old crowd that has so completely disgraced the pension oflice. WINDFALL BANK ALL RIGHT. The Fnlsn Keports Concerning the People's Dank Are Contradicted. Windfall, May 15. Special. In justice to the People's bank of this place, The Sentinel correspondent desires to correct a false impression that has gone out to the effect that the People's bank was under the management and control of the Dwiggins Starbuck system, and had gone down in the vortex wilh the Columbia bank of Chicago and other kindred institutions, or at least had been badly crippled in the wreck. It is all a mistake. The facts are that the People's bank was originally und-r the Dwipgins ik Starbuck management, but in August last the bank was organized into a stock company under the state law. The stock is owned principally by the most substantial farmers and the best business men of Tipton county. The bank is in a safe and prosperous condition, and will not lose to exceed $500 by reason of the recent bank failures. Deposits are being increased instead of beiug taken out, and the bank is moving along as though nothing had occurred. Knuüitvillk, May 15. Special." The failure of the Columbia bank at Chicago temporarily embarrassed the Clay City bank at Clay City, and the fact that the bank had cashed several thousand dollars' worth ot pension checks during the past few days, remitting them to their New York correspondents, made it impossible for the bank to cash its New ork exchange. For this reason the directors concluded to refuse deposits for a few days, aad to make settlement with the depositors with the bank's secured paper. The deposits are S-'-'.OOO and the bank holds $45,000 of secured paper. Some of the depositors are settling in this way; others have absolute confidence in the institution, and will wait until the directors are relieved from their embarrassment, which is believed to be only temporary. A UNIQUE INDUSTRY. Immense Quantities of Dog Fish Caught and halted for hummer Use. Latorte, May 11. Special. The peo pie in the neighborhood of Chamber's Landing, this county, have a queer way of supplying themselves with salt fish for the summer. The railing of the bridge across the Kankakee river is boarded u,' so that the bridge looks something like a big scow boat. The peopie collect there by the hundreds during the spring high ater, and, tying a rope to the handle of their pears, throw them into the muddy water. The dog fish is so surprisingly plentiful in the river at such times that a epear it seldom thrown without catching a fish. The spear is then puUtd in by the rope and the liflh dumped on the bridge, it hare il

remains securely until taken away by the owner. Many thousands of pounds of these fish are often seen from the bridge at one time, and the structure looks much like a Blanghter pen. The bridge plank and the sides are covered with blood from one end to the other, and the scene in fibhing time is a great curiosity. The people take these fish and cure tbem with salt and smoke, and call them halibut. It is said they can hardly be told from the genuine ocean smoked fish. The extent to which the work is carried on can hardlv be appreciated until seen.

and the bridge is so much like a slaughter c pen that it is almost impossible to get a horse over it at this time of the year. JOHNSON, HERE'S YOUR BREECHES."
