Sensational Clin ructer The "VVife and Relative Kipreaa Satisfactlou at 31uiuunsh' Death. Tuesday night came very near adding ajiother to the long list of Indianapolis murders. Lopez Mumaugh shot and seriously Injured his sister-in-law. Miss Mary Winsh, and then blew out his own Lralns. The scene of the shooting was on S. Illinois-st., on the northwest corner of Wlaconsin-st., at the residence of Mumaugrh's divorced wife. Mrs. Lizzie Mumaugh. It Is a three-rocm. one story cottage, located Just off the noise and bustle of the great thoroughfare, S. Mer-ldian-st. It had the appearance of anything but a quiet place last evening as a Sentinel reporter elbowed his way through the thousands of people, who were crowded around the place talking In subdued tones of the awful tragedy which hail but a few minutes before been enacted on the premises. An Investigation disclosed the fact that Mumaugh had gone .o the house In an Intoxicated condition and demanded to see his wife. She talked to him a few minutes and then he wanted to see his chldren, but this was refused him. Mrs. Mumaugh was afraid of him, as he had frequently threatened to kill her, and had locked the doora of the house when he was seen to approach. She had held the conversation with hlra from a position where he could not Eee her, as she says, because she was afraid that he wanted to shoot her. After being refused a sight of hi3 children, Mumaugh asked to speak to his wife again and was told that she had left the house by another exit. This enraged him and he drew his revolver and fired at Miss "Winsh, who was at that time crossing the room into which he was looking through a wire screen. The shot attracted the attention of the neighbors and they came rushing out of their houses, knowing the desperate character of Mumaugh and realizing that he had shot some one within the house. Headed by Henry Flake they started to capture the supposed murderer, who had by this time reached the front gate of the yard, but seeing the approach of the men, Mumaugh ran back to the window, where had he stood to fire the first shot and placing the pistol to his right temple fired into his own brain. Immediately a large crowd began to gather about the house, attracted by the shots and the rumor that Mumaugh had shot and killed his wife and then himself. It was a crowd composed mostly of neighbors and those who were somewhat acquainted with the circumstances which led up to the tragedy, and their sympathy was strong for the woman, no regret being expressed for the dying man, unless it were that he should take his own life and thus cheat the gallows of Its rightful prey. Meanwhile Henry Blake had summoned Dr. Loui3 A. E. Storch and the wound of Mumaugh was pronounced fatal. The ball entered just above the temple and ranged upward, passing through the brain. The doctor left him as a hopeless case and turned his attention to Miss Mlnsh's wound, which was found to be less serious. The ball entered below the right shoulder and l-enetrated about two inches. Passing through the wire screen seems to have lessened the force of the bullet, otherwise she must have been more seriously :Jurd. "With proper care the injury will idve her little trouble. Like the doctor who had left the man for dead on the sidewalk outside, the crowd considered his case hopeless, and J ft T ,. m THE SYMPTOMS Ä are a hitter or bud taste In mouth, pain in the hack, sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheumatism; sour stomach, los of appetite, bowels alternately costive and lax. headach. loss tl memory, with a painful sensation of having failed to do something which ought to have been done; d-bility. low merits, a thick yellow appearance of th skin an4 eyes; a dry cough often mistaken for consumption." Sometimes many r-f these symptoms attend the disease, at others very few; but the Llrer. th largest orftan in the body, is generally the B-at of the dlaea, and If not related In time crcat suffering, wtch4fi and drath will ensue.

KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live better than others and enjoy life more, with les expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principle embraced in the remedy, Svrup of Figs. Its excellence is duo to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleasant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect . laxative ; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and favera ana permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction tc millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels without weakening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all druggists in 50c and $ 1 bottles, but it is manufactured by the California Fijr Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every package, also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, jou will not accept any substitute if oüered. made little effort to relieve his sufferin.es. A couple of men did at one time lift him up and attempt to carry him into the house, but the women locked the doors and refused to admit him. and he was again dropped where he had fallen. About 8 o'clock a priest came and bont over the man for a few moments and said some words, and then withdrew. The man was not, however, deserted. He was at least protected from the tread of the hundreds of curious spectators who crowded around the windows to get a .glimpse of the ii.side of the house. Patrolman Lonnis and his partner King were there, and while one fanned the sufferer the other kept the crowd from trampling out what little life there was left in him. Thus, he lay until about 9 o'clock, when he was removed to the city hospital. UK LEFT A LETTHH. MumnuKli'i Contention to Ilia Wife Contemplated Suicide. Among the papers found in Mumaugh's possession at the city hospital was a letter addressed to his wife, which he had failed, for some reason or other, to mail. It Indicates that Mumaugh was at the time contemplating suicide. The letter in full is as follows: "CHICAGO, 111., March 6. 1S!3. "To mamma, my dearest anil most loving friend on earth, and my dear children, all of whom I love more than my life or anything under the sun. Mamma, I will ask your forgiveness in all things, as I have wronged you In every way that a man could wrong a wife. I have been untrue to you in virtue. In chastity and have been wrong in all respects to you. "I have wrongfully accused you of unfaithfulness, when I knew that there was no grounds for my accusations, as I know, and God and every one on earth that knows you knows that you are as pure and spotless as an angel or a virgin could be. I have nothing to blame you for, as you suffered everything for me, and I believe you love me dearly, as I do you; and God knows that I love you above anything on earth. ISut I was weak in many things. Not that 1 loved drink or drunkenness, but through weakness I gave up to it instead of living up to. a true and virtuous wife and loving family, and may God bless you all and be with you and make you happy and prosperous. "I have but one request to make of you and that Is to raise our dear children up in the faith they were started in and to respect their father and mother. And, dear mamma, don't for God's sake, marry as long as one of the children are under age. Since the 20th day of last September my life has been a blank. I have not seen a peaceful or a happy moment, and I never expect to see one on this earth, and the sooner I am off of the earth the better fur you and the children and myself, as I know you live In fear' of me. Hut God knows would not harm a hair of your head. But I am of no use to myself or anyone else. My life is a dark and dreary passage, and I have prayed night and day for God to take me home. But it seems that I am to suffer as long as soul and body confines. "But I hope they will soon depart and leave 'my spirit in peace. Mamma, if anything should happen any time, I leave this vale of tearse, praying God's blessing on you and the children and your mother and all except Maggie, Oscar's wife; and If I should depart this life I will depart praying God's curses on her and her offsprings as she willfully swore to a lie against me on the witness stand when she said that I insulted her. She also done all she could to separate us. as you know and can answer to God. I was always a true friend of her's In all respects, and If I should have wanted to have had improper relations with her I could have accomplished it the first day we went out fishing as when Oscar and the girls were, away she gave me every encouragement, for as you remember what I told you when we came home, what I saw of her. Probably that was the reason she wanted us to part so as to save herself from exposure, and I pray God's curses on her for it, as she Is not true to her husband. Oscar, or the church, or God. or anything, and for God's sake Mamrqa don't let her lead Minnie astray as she Is a dangerous woman, as you will all find out In the future. Good-bye. .May God bless you all. Your husband. "L J. MUMAUGH." "I wrote this as a true confession to clear my soul and trust to God for the future." AT THE HOSPITAL.

Mamangh Die Short Time After Tie Ina- Taken There. Mumaugh was received at the hospital at 9:45 p. m. He' was alive, but unconscious and was Immediately removed to the operating room, when stretched upon the table in the glare of the fas lights he presented a ghastly picture and It was plain to see that his act of desperation had been only too well performed and that his death was the question -of perhaps a few brief moments. The lullet had entered the head Just

over the tight temple, ploughed its way through the brain, severing the optic nerve of the right ' eye and ranging in a line toward the base of the brain on the left side1 and fracturing nearly the entire skull at the back of the head. By concussion the right eye was closed, blackened and horribly swollen. Seldom, so the physicians said, has there been noted a single gunshot wound so complete In its dreadful results. When Mumaugh's clothing was searched a large package of miscellaneous papers was found. Including not only the letter to his wire; but a large number of .receipts for - dues paid to rhlloxenian lodge, No. 44. I. O. O. F. of this city. A business card showed him at one time to have been in partnership with L E. White as the firm of Mumaugh & White In the manufacture of fine cigars In Sheridan, Ind. In his pocket was also found a brand new clasp knife, a vicious looking dirk with spring back and a blade five inches In length. It had evidently been in use but a short time. The blade bore the inscription: "Your Own." There was no money found on his person. Mumaugh died shortly after 11 o'clock.

ins. MIMAIGH'S STORY. Relate Her Troubles with. Her Hnband und Tells of the Shooting. Mrs. Mumaugh is a woman about thirty-six years of age. Intelligent and with a prepossessing, though not handsome, face. She told the following story of the crime: "We have been married a little over eighteen years and throughout of the first few years of our married life wo lived happily enough. My husband always had a violent temper, but it was rarely that he mistreated me or he children until he took to drinking heavily. Whisky made a beast of him, and he made my life a hell on earth. Life with him became unbearable, and last fall I secured a divorce In Judge Harper's court on the grounds of cruelty, drunkenness and failure to provide. The last time I saw him until today was a few days after 1 had applied for the divorce. "I had rented this house, and with my children, with what help my two girls were to me, managed to make a living, and I hoped-that he would stay away from us and let us alone, and the children had the same feeling for him. He had abused them so much and for so long that they seemed to have lost the last spark of love for the man they were ashamed to call father. "As I was about to say, he came here Intoxicated one day while the suit was pending In court and began to abuse me for applying for a divorce, and finally wound up by almost choking the life out of me. I believe he Intended killing me then, and would have carried out his intention if my two sisters-in-law had not come to my assistance. I swore out a warrant for him then, and that was the last I had seen of him until tonight, when we saw him coming toward the house. He had several times threatened my life, and almost as many times attempted it, so that I was determined never to let him la the house again. "When I saw him coming I locked the doors. We were all pretty badly scared, because we knew that he always carried a pistol, and supposed that he had come here with the intention of using t. My sister, Mamie Winsh, had stopped In a few minutes before on her way from her work. She lives with my mother on Water-st., and works at the starch factory, and often stops In awhile in the evening on her way home. She had good reason to fear Mumaugh, as he had frequently said he 'had it in for her" for persuading me to get a divorce. "When Mumaugh came to the side window I talked to him for a few minutes from the adjoining room, where he could not see me, but when he began to demand that the children be allowed to come out to him I left him because I knew that I would only anger him the more, ai-d my sister told him that he should not see the children. He asked where I was and when he was told that I had left the house he drew his revolver and fired a shot at Mamie, who was just going through the room toward the kitchen. The next thing I remember was hearing the second shot and hearing Henry Blake say that Mumaugh had shot himself. With that man dead I feel safe for the first time since I secured the divorce. I feel as if a great load had been taken from me. It may not sound very well for me to say these things, but I must say that his death is a great relief to me." THE DEAD MAX. He "Wnn a Cigar-Maker by TradeCelebration Interrupted. Mumaugh was forty years old and was a cigarmaker by trade, althogh he had not worked at it for several years. The last place he worked was for Meyer Efroymson, who keeps a second-hand store at 133 E. YVashinston-.st He drove the delivery waxon for this house and when sober gave satisfaction, but every cent of his earnings went for whisky und he neglected his family. He was arrested several times for shamefully abusing his wife. Judge Buskirk' got tired of fining him, and the last two or three times that Mumaugh was up before him added workhouse sentences to heavy tines. This only had the effect of miking Mumauch more beastly, and he avenged every day spent In jail upon his hflpless wife and children. Finally Mrs. Mumaugh made up her mind that she could and A Mothers Duty, t " Watch your daughter's physical development.

Mumaugh is kindly spoken of. by all the neighbors. She has supported herself and children and a part of the time her husband for a number of years by sewing. The children, six In number, ranpre In asre from Minnie, who Is seventeen, to little Oscar, the one-year-old baby. A sad feature, of the whole tragedy is the fact that the children were just celebratlnpr the first anniversary of the baby's birth when interrupted in their childish Joy by the awful tragedy which deprived them of a father, but relieved their mother of a load of suspense which was wearing her life away. The Injured Woman' Story. Miss Mary Winsh, the girl shot by Mumaugh, is twenty-three years of age and the daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Winsh, who resides at the corner of Water and Stevens-sts. She Is employed at the Piel starch works, south of W. Morrls-st., and her sister's home lies almost directly on th eroute to and from her work. Last evening she had been in the house but a few minutes and was about ready to leave when Mumaugh was seen coming toward the house. She had a special reason to fear hlra, she said, "'on account of the part she had played in the divorce affair. "I knew, or believed, that he was capable of anything," said she, "and as soon as I saw him approaching I called tl Minnie, the oldest child, to bring George in while I took little Oscar from the doorStep where he was playing and brought him into- the kitchen with Minnie ami George and went myself into the front room to my sister, who was. I found, very much excited and frightened. As soon ns I had calmed her somewhat, and had told Mumaugh that she had left the house. I started through the middle room to the kitchen, that I might be with the children. It was while crossing the room that I was shot." HRAZIL AT THE IHG FAIR. Creditable Dlnplay by the South American Country. WORLD'S FAIR GROUNDS, July 19, Another republic came to the front at the world's fair today with an exhibit of her wares and products. It was the republic of Brazil, and her building and the display it contains, are creditable Indeed. Brazil's exhibit is principally In agriculture, forestry, fine arts, machinery, mines and viticulture, and it condsts of specimens of all the products of the soil, coffee, spices and woods from all the Brazilian states, about 130 paintings, and a large number of marble statues. A solid piece of rubber ten feet In diameter and about twelve feet long is shown. There Is also a fine collection of coins and specimens of gold, silver and copper ores, together with various kinds of precious stones. In the consignment of Brazilian exhibits received through the custom house there were 2,200 bags of coffee. The Brazilian government appropriated about $SOO,000 for exposition ouruoses. .. , . 1 . - Director of Works !.' ll.- Burnham feels deeply the blame imposed upon him by the coroner s Jury in its recommen dation that he be held to answer before the grand jury for his responsibility for the world's fair tire. In a communication to the press on the subject today he says: "No one ever called my attention to the imperfection of the smoke Hue until after the destructive fire, and after said hre occurred I had all correspondence In my office thoroughly examined, but no com munication upon the subject could be found. I did not know that there was a dangerous condition of the smoke flue in the cold storage warehouse until in formed on the night after the lire occurred." The large statue of Christopher Columbus that stood before the main portal at the cold storage building the day of the fearful fire when so many human lives were sacrificed has been donated by W. II. Mulllns of Salem, O., the owner, to be erected upon a suitable pedestal to mark the graves of the dead heroes. The committee has accepted this contribution. Firemy-n saved the statue during the fire by placing a rope about the "neck and hauling it back from the flames. Mr. Mullins thinks it will be a very appropriate monument, for the reason that It weathered the flames that consumed the victims. EXClltSIOX THAIX WRECKED.

UNDER THE WHEELS

The Body of George' H. Martin Is Mangled. He,Is Instantly Killed by an Electric Car. WAS SUICIDE INTENDED? Eye Witnesses of the Horrible Accident Say the Car Was Running at a High Speed. From What Is Known It In Hard to Tell Whether Martin Deliberntely Threw Himself in Front of the Car ' or Was CunKlit In Attempting- to Hoard K Letters on His Person Indicate That He Had Been WnrklnR at Lafayette -Molorraan Gilbert Arrested and keleaaed on Dond. Another fatal accident has been added to the long list that have occurred on the electric roads. George II. Martin, a bricklayer, address unknown, was struck by an Irvington car at the corner of Washington and New Jersey-sts. at 9 o'clock Thursday night, horribly mangled and killed instantly. The accident, if it was such, was seen by a number of people, and there are many stories afloat in connection with the affair. Just how it happened no one knows. Whether Martin was struck by the car accidentally or threw himself under with the intention of committing suicide, no one has been found who Is able to state positively, as he was not seen until after the car struck him. The Accident. At the hour mentioned above car No. 156, William Gilbert motorman and Thomas Sturgeon conductor, was running west on Washington-st. at a rate of speed which many people say was more than twenty-five miles an hour. There were no passengers to get on or off at New Jersey-st. and, ringing the gong, the motorman continued on without lessening the speed of the car. Before it reached the east side of the street Martin was seen to leave the street corner where he had" been standing and start south across Washington-st., and that was the last seen of him until his lifeless form, mangled and bleeding, was taken from under the car nearly half a square away, where the car had dragged It. The electric lights were not burning at the time and it is not known whether he attempted to get on the car or not. He may have misjudged the speed of the car and thinking he had ample time to get across started to do so with the above result. Edward C. Foy. 243 E. Washingtonst., C. IL Stein, 219 E. Market-st., and P. II. Collins, 248 E. Washington-st:, were pass?ng at the time and they say they did not know the car had struck anyone until they heard the noise and saw the man's body dragging along under the car. They were the first to arrive on the scene after the car .was stopped and assisted in lifting the lifeless form from under the wheels. Death must have been instantaneous as he was crushed in a horrible manner, having boen run over in two different places. These men are inclined to believe that Martin committed suicide as they say that he could not help seeing the car unless he was under the influence of liquor. The gong was sounding and he could have easily gotten out of the way had he wished to do so as the light on the car showed clearly where the track was. The Motornian'a Statement. Motorman Gilbert was asked for his statement in connection with the affair and talked quite freely about It. He said his car was running at a moderate rate of speed and as there were no passengers to get on or off at the corner he made no effort to stop the car. He was positive that Martin was not on the track, as he was looking ahead and could have seen him. He did not" see him until the car struck him, and then he did not know that it was a man he had run over, and as far as he could judge Martin threw himself under the car. He turned on the full current and did not know that a man was under the car until he felt the Jar when it passed over his prostrate form. He stopped as soon as he could, after making the discovery, and assisted those who gathered in lifting the car from the lifeless body of the man. Just who Martin is or where he belongs no one seems to know. After his body was removed from under the car Merchant Policeman McShultz found a number of letters and papers which had fallen from his pocket. One letter was written by a woman In this city, Mrs. M. C. Tary, and was addressed to the New Gait house, Lafayette, Ind. Her address was not given in the letter. There was also a receipt showing that Martin had paid a gas bill of $1 to the Indianapolis gas company and one showing that he had paid $30 license for the privilege of canvassing for pictures .to be enlarged at Lafayette. Gilbert Arrested. Gilbert was arrested shortly after the occurrence and taken to the police station, where he was slated on the charge xt manslaughter. He Is about thirty years old, unmarried and boards in Irvington. He has been in the employ of the company for a number of years and was considered one of Its best men. After remaining in the police station for about an hour he was released on $2,000 bonds furnished by the officers of the company. The remains were taken in charge by Kregelo & WThltsett, where Coroner Beck viewed them at 11 o'clock. A careful examination of the dead man's clothing and personal effects waa made, but nothing was found which will show where he lives. He was probably forty years old, rather tall, wore a mustache and has the appearance of having been a laborer. It is thought that he had boarded at one of the lodging houses In the vicinity, but no one 6eems to know him. Are Yon Nervous, Are you all tired out. do you have that tired feeling or frtek headache?

He IIa Heen Traveling In the Southern Part of the State Reprenenlins Himaelf am an Auen t of The Sentinel and Defrauding People Some of Iii . Punt History A Noted Crliulnul. For some time past a man has been traveling about the state representing himself to be an agent for The Sentinel. He visited many towns and cities and after collecting and borrowing all the money he could would suddenly turn up missing, and the first intimation The Sentinel had of the occurrence was when some indignant citizen would write a letter requesting the offk-e to send the amount of money he had loaned Its agent, or some other person asking why the paper he had ordered failed to arrive. The Sentinel put forth every effort to capture the individual but was unable to do so until yesterday, when he was arrested at College Corner, and he is now a prisoner at the police station, where he Is held on the charge of being a fugitive. Friday morning a message, signed by W. Scott, the only authorized agent for The Sentinel, was received at this office asking why a number of papers had not been sent to Brownsville. Mr. Scott happened to be In the ofl'ice when the message arrived and he knew that the man was at his old tricks again. Wednesday morning W. H. Deacon, manager of the advertising department of The Sentinel, went to Brownsville for the purpose of having the man arrested but when he arrievd in town he learned that the man, who gave the name of J. II. Hibben, had left and was supposed to have gone to Liberty. Mr. Deacon took the next train for that place only to be disappointed again, for the man had left and gone to Fairland. Securing a horse and buggy he drove across the country to that town. Hibben was not to be found and no one appeared to know anything about s him. Mr. Deacon returned to Liberty again and after making diligent inquiry learned that Hibben had gone in the direction of College Corner and he took the next train for that place. Upon arriving in town Marshal Wysong was made acquainted with the facts, and he and Mr. Deacon started out to find Hibben. After starching the town over their efforts were crowned with success, and he was discovered sitting In front of a saloon, lie at lirst denied all knowledge of The Sentinel and said he never heard of the paper, but afterward broke down and partially made a confession. He became very Indignant when he learned that he was under arrest, and refused to accompany the officer without a warrant. His bluff did not work, however, and he accompanied Mr. Deacon and the marshal to this city without any trouble. Upon arriving at the Union depot a hack was secured, and Hibben imagined he was going to the office until the carriage stopped in front of the Central police station and he was locked up. Hibben has a history that brands him one of the most remarkable and accomplished of ' frauds. He is an old swindler and fake newspaper man. lie worked the newspaper snap at Columbus. Ind., recently, where he represented hlmstlf as Bruce Haldeman of the Lojuisville Courier-Journal. He also pinched an overcoat, was Jailed and by his cunningness he feigned the Insanity racket and was cleared. After this escapade Hibben went to Jeffersonville and Bald his name was Watkins. a Courier-Journal reiorter. He was drinking freely, was supplied with funds and insisted upon treating everybody. lie claimed an acquaintance with every man on the paper, and, in fact, was able to call them all by name and tell In what departments they worked. Hibben is undoubtedly a slick rascal. His career has been treated at length heretofore, Dut it will probably be rendering the public a service to repeat it. He has been an inmate of the Indian prison south three times. Convicted first as James S. Rose in Vigo county he began a one year term Oct. 7, 1SS4. On May 17, 1SS3, he was sent up from Wayne county under the name of Frank Halford, to serve one year for representing himself as an agent of the Indianapolis Journal. Upon his release he went to Seymour and claiming to be Frank C. New of the Indianapolis Journal he solicited subscription and advertising amounting to several hundred dollars. For this he got two years. He was released In the winter of 'Si, and the next heard from was at Columbus, where, as already stated, he canvassed the city as Bruce Haldeman, of the Courier-Jour nah He devoted all his time In getting subscriptions for the Sunday Issue of the paper.
