THE STOB! TOLD,

Henderson Confesses to the Murder of Tarpey, Giving a Clear Story of the Midnight Crime. NO MOTIVE FOR THE CRIME Ho Was Robbing the Saloon When the Men Entered And Shot Tarpey in Order to Make His Escape. The Confession AVas Made to Superintendent Colbert, and After Being Read Over Id Pronounced "All Right" by Henderson His Story Tallies "With the Staterueut Made to the Police by Mrs. Kaficrty and That of the llaugbville Town Ofticcrs Henderson Is at Once Ilemored to the Police Station Upon the Order of Superintendent Colbert He Talks to a Reporter. The cloud of mystery which has surrounded the cold-blooded murder of John Tarpey in Haughville on the night of May 31, has been c leared away. Lon Henderson, burglar, thief, footpad, battered with policemen's clubs and suffering from gunshot wounds, lay upon his bed at the city hospital Thursday night and with deliberation mads a confession that may even at this time be paid to place him within the dark shadow of the scaffold as the murderer of Tarpey. For several days Henderson, lying upon his bed in the hospital ward, has manifested a growing uneasiness, born of an anxious mind, which attracted the watchful attention of Dr. Ferguson and Policeman Coren, the officer on special guard duty. Henderson's nervousness, recurring at frequent intervals, led Officer Coren to sugggest that the man be placed in a room by himself. Superintendent Ferguson accordingly did this yesterday morning, and toward noon Henderson, in a conversation with Officer Coren. confessed to having fired the shot which killed Tarpey. The story he repeated to Dr. Ferguson, who then went to Henderson's room, and the wounded crook, plied with shrewd questions, gave the doctor a plain, connected story of the whole transaction. At the request of the police authorities Dr. Ferguson has excluded newspaper men and others from any intercourse with the man, and yesterday was much offended when he found that Chief Tim Splan had taken the reporter of a morning paper into Henderson's room for the purpose of interviewing the self-confessed murderer. Dr. Ferguson last night expressed himself to the effect that it was manifestly an act of bad faith on Splan's part. Last evening Superintendent Colbert, with Sergts. Kurtz and Harlow, went to the hospital. The superintendent requested Henderson to repeat in his own words the whole story of his connection with the desperate midnight killing. As Henderson made his confession the superintendent very carefully wrote it down in the man's own words, and at Its conclusion read it to Henderson, who pronounced it "all right." Henderson's story was as follows: The Confrxxion Verbatim. "I left home b-tween 5 and 6 o'clock on the evening of May 01, 1&U2, took street car. went directly to the home 'of Mary Rafferty, 501 V. YVashington-st. Stayed there till about S o'clock. "Went from there to saloon on south side of "Washlngfton-st., got on street car there and rode to I., D. & S. tracks. I got off of street car then and went to the I., I. & S. yards. 1 then got on freight train and rode to first crossing above Haughville and the brakeman put me off. That was about 10 o'clock. After heins? put off the train I layed by the side of the railroad track. I layed there about one hour. I then got up and walked back on the railroad track to Michlgunst., in Haughville. I walked on the north side of Mlchigan-st. till I came to the saloon where I done the shotting. That was some time after 12 o'clock. "I saw that the saloon was open. I then went in with the intention of Atting a glass of beer. I noticed when I stepped on the inside that the bartender was asleep on a chair on the east side of the room. I went up in front of the counter. I stood there about two minutes. I looked around and saw the bartender was sound asleep. I then noticed the money drawer was open. I gos around behind the counter. As I did so I put a mask on my face. There was some silver dollars in the drawer. put them in my pocket first. Then I took the half-dollars and othr money and put them in my pocket also. Then I took out my gun and put the money drawer under my arm and started out of the house. "As I did so I heared footsteps and pome persons talking. AVhen I got around the Ice chest two came In the side door on the west side of the building. I ordered the front man to throw up his hands. He said: "Get out, what is the matter with you? Then he and the second walked around me. Then I Flipped over to the Fide where some barrels were. When I got there I noticed there was more men at the door. I said to the man at the door to come in and let me pass. When I said this he Jumped at me and got hold of my revolver. At this time my finger was on the trigger. In the struggle the revolver was discharged. I cannot say whether I pulled the trigger or it was discharged in the struggle with the man. He then let go of me and walked away. "There was still another man standing in the doorway. I said to this man to come in and let me pass. This man then threw up his hands at seeing my revolver. He then came in and I went out the door. I went from the saloon to the school house. Then I took out the contents of the money drawer that I got at the saloon. I then ran from the school house directly to White river. I then followed the river south to the turning of the street car hacks. I then followed the car tracks to Washingtonst. and then went east on Washingtonet. to Horner' j saloon. This was between 2 and 3 o'clock In the morning of June the 1st. "I went from Horner's saloon to Mary rtafferty', 501 W. Washlngton-st. On my way to this number I met Merchant police Officer Campbell. I spoke to him and said, 'good morning. He spoke to Pia also. I stayed at Airs. Kafferty's !

all the day of June 1. When I first went to Mary Rafferty's I told her that I

had been in a shooting scrape at Hauphvnie. mis was about 3 o'clock in the morning of June 1. I had the pistol I done the shooting with when I came to her house. She said to get rid of it some time after daylight. I threw the Runs in the vault in the rear of Mary Rafferty's house. I also threw my mask, which I wore when the shooting took place, in the same vault. It wa3 wrapped around a plug of tobacco to make it sink. I left Mrs. Rafferty's about six o'clock in the evening of June l ror my mothers house at 2G De loss-st." By direction of Superintendent Colbert Henderson was removed last night from the city hospital to the police station where he will receive careful medical attention and be closely guarded. "I have had no positive fears of mob violence." said Supenintendent Colbert to a Sentinel reporter last night, "but I have for several days received warnings which might mean nothing and yet. possibly, result In exceedingly bad ancf uniawrul work. Henderson might and quite likely would remain In safetv at the city hospital and yet, if left there especially now that he has voluntarily confessed to the murder of Tarpey mignt be taken out by an infuriated mob and hung. That would be murder and the responsibility for the disgrace would rest upon my shoulders through all time. I have, therefore, deemed it best, in the interest of public good, to place Henderson where there can be no possibility of his being Ivnched." Henderson's wounds were reported by Dr. Ferguson last as being in a most favorable condition, with the probability of his being able to appear in court within ten days, provided inflam mation could be kept down. Shot While ItultlduK a Saloon. Henderson was shot in an attempt to burglarize Smith's saloon on S. Me-ridian-st. The bullet struck him In the middle of the forehead and glancing over the course of the skull for about four Inches under the scalp came out near the crown. On the day of his arrest at home he received Thornton's bullet in his left knee, and the ball ranging around and downward, has since remained lost in the muscles of the leg According to the story told by Hen derson, lhornton as soon as he stepped inside of the doorway struck him over the head with his mace, without so much as saying a word. This precipitated the light, in which Henderson says he got the maces away from both officers, and it was then Thornton shot him. While he was down, he said, Thornton lifted his boot heel and stamped him in the face, and a wound on the side of the no.se, which might have been InHicted in this manner, was sewed up by Dr. Ferguson at the hospital. While dressing Henderson's wounds yesterday morning. Dr. Ferguson asked him if he would like to see Mary Kaferty. He said that he had no wish to see her; that he did not care, to have any trouble with a woman. Dr. Ferguson then asked him if he knew why Mrs. Raferty had informed against him. He replied that before he was married, he lived with Mary Raferty, and when he married she had a "falling out" with him. After the death of his wife, he and the Raferty woman resumed their former relations, but then a friendship sprung up between him and Mrs. Raferty's daughter and this made the old woman jealous. Didn't Wiinylliw Mother to Know. He told the doctor he had only one request to make and that was to have him keep the story of the Tarpey murder away from his old mother. She had known nothing of the shooting and it would break her heart. Henderson also said that after the murder of Tarpey he stayed in Indianapolis about a week and then went south almost to Vincennes. He couldn't stay away, he said, some indescrihable power seemed drawing him back to this city and he came only to find that he had made a "d 1 of a mistake." AT TIIK lOI.I('I) STATIOY. lleiitlerooii Talk About III Kmcu-p.-tile ii ml IlriiKM a Little. Lon Henderson, desperate and nervy, laid on one of the beds in the woman's department of the police station last niuht. He was removed from the hospital about 9 'o'clock and taken where a be'ter watch could be placed over him. The authorities feared that some trouble might occur at the hospital after it became known that he had marie a confession, and, as a measure of safety, deemed it advisable to have him in more secure quarter.. He was apparently unconcerned as to his fate and was in noways nervous. "Did you feel any nervousness at the hospital?" was asked him. 'Wo." lie replied in firm tones, "I was not afraid of anybody. If the whole of Haughville was standing before me I would not llinch any more than I do now." "When you were placed under arrest did you feel that it was for the murder of Tarpie?" "No, I thought it was for this," he said, pointing to his forehead to the wound he had received on the South Side. "Iid the thought or tne murder enter your head at the time?" "You are a reporter and I will not answer." he said. "I have made my statement to Superintendent Colbert and 1 will not say anything more as I could talk all night to reporters. The whole thing will come out In time." Henderson had a long talk with Police Surgeon Earp and Police Commissioner Ccttterson and to them he acknowledged to being the man who did the shooting. He explained to Dr. Earp the manner in which the shooting occurred, which was similar to th statement made to Superintendent Colbert.

To Police Commissioner Catterson he said that he would never again carry a revolver, no matter what the occasion. He bragged of his fighting qualities and said that he took the maces and handcuffs away from both Thornton and SicGuff before they shot him and overpowered him. He complained of the men shooting him and said that McGuff fired a shot after he had given up. Police Commissioner Catterson gave directions that Henderson was to be guarded throughout the entire time he was in the custody of the police department. Although his wounds are dangerous he could get about in a fit of desperation, and if the opportunity offered it was thought he would not overlook an attempt to escape. Care is to be taken also that no articles are passed into him that he can take his life. WORDS FROM PRELATES.

Mgr. Sintolll and Archbishop Ireland Sleet at St. Paul. ST. PAUL, June 22. Mgr. Satolll and four of the professors of the catholic university at Washington arrived in St. Paul this morning and are the guests of Archbishop Ireland. In the afternoon they attended the commencement exercises of St. Thomas seminary. Several hundred priests from various parts of the northwest and an immense concourse of the laity were present and gave him a most enthusiastic welcome. In addition to the closing program an address was read to Mgr. Satolli by one of the graduating students. Mgr. Satolli responded in words of burning eloquence. At the conclusion of the exercises Archbishop Ireland spoke, pledging to Leo and his delegate the enduring loyalty of himself, his clergy and his people, and saying that the wondrous success of Mgr. Satolll's mission was due to two causes the delegate's own great mind and heart, and his fidelity to the principles and directions of Leo. The chief result of his mission in America is to prove beyond all power of cavil that the heartiest sympathy exists between the catholic church and the liberties and institutions of the American republic. LEO'S ENCYCLICAL. Father Dneey'a Explanation of It A Valuable Document. NEW YORK, June 22. The Herald prints the statement from Mgr. Ducey on the pope's encyclical: "The pope's encyclical letter on the school question in the United States proves to be just such a document as was to be expected from the indomitable fairness and practical wisdom of Leo XIII. It consists of two parts. In the first part he details the moves which led him to the establishment of the apostolic delegation in America, dwell3 on the special character of the mission intrusted to Archbishop Satolli, and gives his estimate of how perfectly that mission has been fulfilled. This is the point toward which expectancy has been directed with the keenest curiosity. All have been anxious to see whether the pope would fully accept and indorse the action of his delegate. Some have gone so far as to predict that Archbishop Satolli's action and teaching would be distinctly repudiated by the pope. The result, as might have been foreseen by disinterested and unprejudiced minds, is directly the contrary of this. He has only words of laudation for his faithful representative, and the holy father states explicitly in his encyclical letter that the delicate and important mission intrusted to Archbishop Satolli has been fulfilled to the entire satisfaction of Leo XIII. "In the second part of the encyclical the pope dwells in detail on the chief objections urged against the propositions of Archbishop Satolli for the solution of the school question and refutes these objections inclusively. The chief objection has been that the teaching of the apostolic delegate was contrary to that of the third plenary council of Baltimore and antagonistic to the catholic school system. This allegation Archbishop Satolli has from the beginning of his mission repudiated, as a misunderstanding or a misrepresentation of his decision and teaching. Leo XIII does tile same. The hoiy father, having before his eyes the decrees of the council of lialtimore and the propositions of his delegate, proves clearly that the propositions of Archbishop Satolli are in no way an abrogation of these decrees, nor in any way Inconsistent with them. He quotes the words and acts of his delegate, that such never was his meaning and that to assert it. is an injustice. Titus the pope maintains both the decrees of the council and the teaching and the decision of the apostolic delegate, and he concludes by urging that useless controversy on the subject shall cease and that all shall now bend their energies to the practical solution of the principles enunciated by the council and the practical measures pointed out by Archbishop Satolli. Hence it is evident, to use a commercial expression, that the net result of this weighty papal pronunclamento must be an important advance toward the practical and happy solution of the much vexed school question of the United States. I hope ecclesiastics in this and other matters for the future will not refuse to be guided by the epigram of the lamented Lincoln, 'With charity to all, with malice toward none. "It is very wise that we have for the public guidance an official and not a diocesan translation of the document. Now no one can be uncharitably accused of making a translation to suit any individual purpose. Let us trust that throughout the United States from now on we shall hear these ringing words of the holy scripture, 'Pax vobls.' I hopo this simple statement may be productive of some good.

Its nominal assets in the way of railroad property amount to $210,000,000, but the actual value is about $20 per snare or i42.uoo.ooo of which Stanford's holdings are worth $10,000,000. Besides this the Pacific improvement company owns a large block of Southern Pacific bonds, on which the Interest is 55f6 per cent, annually. Stanford's share of these bonds is said to be $14.000.000 net. From the stock and bonds alone the Stanford estate is said to receive an income of nearly $1,00),000 annually. Then there is the San Francisco cable road property that pays 10 per cent, annually on $12,000,000, of which Stanford's share is $3,000,000.

THREE BUSY MILLS

In the Coney Island Club Arena Last Night. Corbett's Partner Daly Beaten by Butler IN THREE FURIOUS ROUNDS. Badly Punished by the Blows of the Negro. Vernon Soon Knocked Groggy by Pugilist Ernst And Reynolds Laid Oat by Leonard In Short Order The Contests Brief and Decisive The- Crowd In Sympathy with Daly, "Who Fought to to Win a Pureeof $2,000 The Fights la Detail. CONEY ISLAND ATHLETIC CLUB HOUSE. Coney Island. N. Y., June 22. The crack bouts scheduled to take place before the Coney Island athletic club tonight proved a very attractive drawing card for that organization. Every one of the six men was thoroughly trained, and they were considered so well equalized in fighting ability that it was a difficult task to pick the winner, and the betting on each event was pretty nearly even. Mike Leonard was the favorite over George Reynolds. Billy Ernst, who is also a crack Brooklyn fighter, also had a arge number of admirers, but Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw brick maker, was too well known to be overlooked by even the Brooklyn people in the betting. He was a slight favorite over Ernst. Jim Daly being the former sparring partner of Jim Corbett, had, of course, a large following, but the fact of Joe Butler the colored man, having knocked Joe GodJard down twice in a four-round contest was a stumbling block for them in the betting line. The Philadelphia men were almost to a unit on the colored man. This bout being to a finish was considered the leading event of the evening. There was a representative sporting audience of 5,000 from this and other cities present when proceedings were begun. Leonard Vv'lilpn ltciiold. A mighty shout went up as George Reynolds and Mike Leonard opened the evening's entertainment in the first bout. They fought at 130 pounds. It was a rattling fight of the give and take order for nine rounds. Both displayed considerable science and were gluttons for punishment, which was freely administered. Leonard was the stronger in the ninth, and after opening up a big gash in Reynold's cheek, pounded him about the ring until he had him out. The mjn had scarcely left the ring when Billy Vernon, the Haverstraw briekmaker, hopped upon the stage and took the coroner vacated by Reynolds. He was heartily applauded and while the crowd was still cheering Billy Ernst and his seconds, came upon the stage. Both men looked to be in the very pink of condition. This bout was also re fe reed by P. J. Donohue. The men opened cautiously, Ernst evading several terrilic righthanders and sending h's man to the lloor with a swing in the first round. A Scientlilo limit. This was a purely scientific contest, no rushing or mixing things up. Both men were quick as cats. A lead invariably got a return counter and three rounds were fought with both men smiling, and the light anybody's. In the fourth Ernst started to force matters, but Vernon was so clever that he made little progress, the latter contenting himself with evading the swings and getting in an occasional left hand jab. The fifth round witnessed some lively exchanges, with honors still easy. In the sixth Vernon kept jabbbir.g awayat his opponent, whom he had rushing around like a mad bull. Vernon had decidedly the best of the round, although his opponent wa as strong as a lin and fought as though his very life depended on the result. In the seventh round Vernon continued his jabbing tactics, and ducked every counter that Ernst made. Ernst appeared to have freshened up considerably. He started in to rush matters, and fought Vernon into his corner, and when they broke it was apparent that Vernon was becoming groggy. In the eighth and last round Ernst went at his man in 'a determined manner. He showered right-handers upon Vernon until he knocked him out and he had to be carried from the ring. This was pronounced one of the prettiest exhibitions ever sen here. Duller Knocks Ont Daly. The final bout of the evening between Jim Daly of Buffalo and Joe Butler of Philadelphia was put on at 10:30 p. m. It was to be twenty rounds or more for $2,500. John I. Eckhardt refereed the contest. Daly's seconds were Dan Gallagher of Brooklyn and Charles Gleason of Buffalo, while Butler was looked after by Jack Fogarty and Benny Fogarty. Round 1 Daly feinted several times and a clinch followed. Daly followed up with a smash in the belly and landed his left hand on the colored man's Jaw. Daly reached his stomach again and was countered lightly by the colored man on the Jaw. Daly was by far the cleverest, but could not draw his man out. The round ended tamely. Round 2 Daly was the first to lead In this round and caught the negro four times without a return. They sparred, cautiously for some time and then began to mix matters with honors even. Just at the call of time Daly landed on the stomach and swung with his right as the bell rang. Round 3 This was a terrific round, in which Daly was knocked down repeatedly. He got tip gamely each time, however, and fought back, although so weak upon his feet that he could scarcely stand. It was almost a miracle that Daly lasted through the round. His punishment was something terrible. Round 4 Daly made some very rough swings, and landed his right heaviy on the colored man's Jaw and wind. The crowd yelled for Daly to keep away, and in the wildest kind of an uproar he started in to fix matters. He landed several hot ones on Butler's wind, and had the colored man almost as veak as himself at the call of time. Round 5 Both men came up weak. The colored man forced him to his corner, where Daly slipped and fell. Butler followed up his advantage and punched his man all over the ring. Both men were very tired, and at the call of time the round ended in favor of Butler, who was the stronger and doing most of the fighting. Round 6 Daly lay for an opening, and swung his right on the side of Butler's head with good effect, but he was too weak to hold out against so powerful an opponent. Butler rushed Daly across the stage. Jabbing him with the left in the stomach and swinging the right on his Jaw, sending him to the floor with

great force. Daly was groggy when he got up, and it was only a question of time. Daly was knocked down seven times more in rapid succession before he was put out, each time growing weaker and weaker. The time of the last round was 2:10. SEVEN KILLED AT A CIRCUS. Bolt or Lightning Does Fearful "Work at River Talis, Wis. River Falls, "Wis., June 21. A terrifio thunder storm raged in this vicinity this afternoon. Rain fell in sheets and great floods of water formed Almost in an instant in the streets. Kindling's circus was showing in the edge of a grove about a quarter of a mile from the center of the town. The circus bad just finished its per formance and as the concert was about to begin a number of people who did not care to attend the latter were malting their way through the menagerie tent when a terrific bolt of lightning etrnck one of the tent poles and more than fifty people were prostrated. Seven were killed instantly, a few more injured, and the balance are now regaining the normal use of their limbs which had been temporarily paralyzed by the shock. The ecene of consternation which followed when the survivors realized the extent of the fatality surpassed description, when men and women surged toward the ecene, and it was only by the exercise of rare presence of mind on the part of Messrs. Kingling and their employes that a serious and probably total stampede was averted. The Kinglings did everything possible to alleviate the Bufferings of the injured.

Throughout the negotiations Mr. Phelps further Buid Great Britain had never defended pelagic sealing, but while denying the American the right to protect themselves against the British, Lord Salisbury had profeesed a readiness to accept all the regulations necessary to preserve the seals, proposing the appointment of a joint commission to this end. Is'ow Great Britain has veered around, after the arbitration treaty had been concluded, and based her case upon an elaborate defense of pelagic sealing, insisting that no regulations would be acceptable to her which were inconsistent with the prosperity of the pelagic hunters. Mr. Phelps then began a criticism of Mr. Charles Russell's arguments on international law. Dentlis from Cholera. London, June 22.

GEN. CRAVENS DEAD. One of the Best Known Men in Indiana Passes Away. Paoli, June 22. Special. Gen. James A. Cravens died at the residence of his son, John R. Cravens, at Hardinsburg, Washington county, yesterday, in the seventy-fifth year of his age. Gen. Cravens was one of the leading and prominent citizens of the state and had distinguished himself in both public and . private life, and his death will cause as much genuine sorrow as would that of almost any citizen of the state, and especially is he mourned in the neighborhood where he lived and died, and where during life he was the friend, counselor and advisor of all, and where he dispensed a generous hospitality with his ample means and great, manly, generous heart. He was born in Rockingham county, Virginia, Nov. 4, 1818, and removed with his father to Indiana in 1S20. His boyhood days were spent in Washington county, where he received a common school education. Much of his life was devoted to agricultural pursuits. He was a major of Indiana volunteers in the Mexican war under Geo. Zachary Tavlorand was commended for galiantrv at Buena Vista. In 1S4S 9 he served in the lower houso of the state Ieeisiature. In 1SÖ0 he was elected to the state senate and served three years. In 54 he was commisnioned brigadier-general of militia. In lSÖ'.l he was elected by the legislature to the important position of state agent, which he resigned in 1SU1, and was elected a member of the Thirty-seventh congress from the New Albany district. He served as a member of the committee on territories. He was re-elected to the Thirty-eighth congress and retained Lis position on the same committee. Since his retirement from congrass he has not held office, but always took a leading part in the councils of Lis party in which he occupied the position of a trusted and able leader. He was a democrat of the Jacksonian type, and if there ever was a man who deserved the appellation of democratic wheel horse he it was. His time, his money and his services were always at the command of his party, and a democratic national, Btate or district convention without his presence would have resembled the play of "Hamlet" with the character of the Danish prince eliminated therefrom. Gen. Cravens was a man of strong physique and portly, handsome presence, until February, IS'. 2, when he had an attack of la grippe and since gradually declined until last NoTember, when his heart became affected and finally caused his death. During the last four days of his life he was so much better than he had been that hopes were entertained by his friends of his restoration to something like his former vigor. On the morning of his death he rode in a buargy to one of his farms, a mile from town, and upon his return drove around town, and called upon his frieni's, Drs. Charles McPheeters, Sandford, Mcintosh and others, one of whom said to him. "Major, you may live for ten yeara yet." He replied, "No, I'm only living on borrowed time." After his ride he returned to his son's residence, ate a hearty dinner, walked around the yard awhile, then weut to his room and eat down by an open window and commenced reading the life of Napoleon. Presently his book was heard to fall on the floor, and when the members of the household got to him, ha was breathing his last He had amansed a handsome estate valued at from 75,000 to $100,000. His home farm was a princely estate of 1,000 acres of fertile lands. Less than a year ago he distributed 830,000 equally- between his six surviving children. His wife died about a year ago and was buried at Hardin cemetery, four miles north of Hardinsburg, where today, in the presence of a vast concourse of people from Washington, Ind., and eurroundiha: counties, he was laid to reat by her side, the site being marked by a handsome and costly monument, erected by Gen. Cravens since her death with a suitable inscription on the face neither grave. That next his grave was left to be inscribed after his death and the front face containing the words "Father and Mother." It is the old family burying ground of the Cravens, Hardin, Ellis and Schoonover families, and is situated in a lovely and fertile valley, the graves being shaded and protected by massive forest oaks. The religious services at the church were conducted by the Rev. Mr. Blue of Campbellsbur?, the Rev. Mr. Judson Sc h roe of Hardingsburg and the Rer. E. P. Stevens of Fredrickiburg, while the services at the cemetery were conducted by the masonic fraternity and participated in by the Salem, Paoli, Hardinsburg, Fredericksburg and ireenville lodges. Gen. Cravens leaves six children surviving him: The Hon. A. A. Cravens, present representative from Washington county; the Hon. Ben II. Cravens, present treasurer of Washington county ; John It Cra
