The trief telegrams sent out last night as a special regarding the case in which. Caleb Farrish, a turly colored man. is charged -w ith outraging little Mabel Cottrell, aged twelve years, will hardly prepare the public for the terrible evidence of depravity as they were develoied this morning In the police court. Parrish was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. The first "witness was the Cottrell child, who told her story t. little hesitatingly,, due, perhaps, to the lare crowd of men that had swarmed into the court iwra. According to her story, the relations between herself and I'arrish Legan on the th of January, is1-, over thirteen months ago. This had been kept up at times ever since. r?h. had been paid "5 tents once, and on or.? or two other occasions, but thid was all the money he had received. She tostbied that on on occasion she had pine to l'arrish'3 rooin with two testers iwincJ Ward, and that he had inlsbohavtd with each of them, one after the oMit. She said the conduct was witnessed by oath of them, as there wa-s but one room. Myrtle Ward, who -aid she was fourteen, testified that the had been outraged by Parrish several months ego, and had gone to his place on several occasions, but always accompanied by her lstcr, who was two yea it older. Ida Ward testified that while she was at work at thu bath room-, where the defendant was employed, shj had been overcome by him and had yielded ii one occasion only. He hd often solicited her to consent since that time, but she had steadily refused. Sin- had gne. to his room vith her slstr more than once, but she uld not -ay that any Improper act had be-n accomplished while she wa-s there. On on occasion Fairish had pulled a mattress out n the flimr and she had sc-.n her shter and Parrish lying thereon, but thiis was all. From those giris it was banned that other tirls of about their own were in the habit f vl.-ir'.n Parish's room, but they were not able to state what occurred between them . The testimony was regarded .is b'-inp: remarkably direct, as the girls were not aware that the others would appear until they met in the police court. Parrish. ticmbling like an aspen leaf, wa.s the picture of despair. He said repeatedly that the girl came to Id rom over his irotest: that he tried to keep her away; that she came there as late as 11 o'clock one night and refused to go away, w-anting to remain all night, and he let her do so because it was raining. II denied that he had ever tampered with one of the girls or attempted to do paid it was all a put-up jol to get him Into trouble. All the time his ryes kept wandering to the surging mass of humanity that surrounded the railings f the police court, and every time he did so he seemed to grow a little whiter. Stephen Thompson, who worked with Farrish, was the most important witness for the state, Tor he said that I'arrish oftpn boasted to him. though apparently In a jocular way, that lie was having fine times; that a number of little girls came to his rooms, and he often spoke of two sisters, on- aged fourteen and another sixteen, who came there. Thompson understood Parrish to mean that he ran maintaining improper relations with the children. Mayor MeCinley. sifter the evidence was in. fixed Parrish's bond at $:.vni. but a.s ho gazed over the ;.ngrj -looking crowd ;pe negro's courage seemed to fail him. and he called the mayor aside to say that he wanbd to plead guilty and hat it over with. The papers were then made out. and the prisoner, guarded by a so,uad of polieo with drawn clubs, va rushed up stair.-: into the circuit coirt room. The crowd had preceded him largely, yet those -who remained in the hallway below, asa'le made his apiiearance. called loudly and angrily f.r ropes. Alt er he had lvn sufely landed in the court room parrish seemed to reconsider his resolution to plead guilty and he pleaded not jruiltv. Judire Langdon fixed his lnd at $.."( km i. and guanled by the police force and the sheriff, the prisoner was on e more hurried down stairs and b:o-u t- jail The rvidence was rejrard-d by all wlio heard it as leing coniu.xive. To the reiw.rter Parrish said ho wis not sruilty: that he had not don- anvIhing wrong; that the girls had nevir been harmed by hiin. and he ,-.,uM not Pff Why they should tell M J, stories for there was not a word of truth iri them. Panish draws a pension. Ho says he Is foi-ty-fivc years oi l. ami that his' wife and child resile at Toledo, where theV have been over a year. There is undoubtedly a very strong feeling against the prisoner, and there was a feeling ,,f relief among the authorities at first when he declared his intention of pleading guilty, and go at once to prisr,n. Whn. however, he stated that he was no guilty, but that he nlv made that plea or admission bef-aus he feared he would be killed, and that by so doing he would be taken out of danger, the officers all advised him not to make such a plea, and he. t-ok their advice. Nothing that has occurred h re for years. If ever, has stirred up sn. h a fe.-d-lnp. Xe.ne of the parrots of tho little girls who testified asrainst Parrish appeared in court. Later Soon after Parrish was taken to jail he decided to ple.id pruiltv ani was again taken lefor Judge Langdon, wh-j sentenced liim to twenty years imprisonment n the prison north at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Sheriff r.oddi.s started to the penitentiary with Panish. There was a large crowd at the depot but no attempt at violence. CAL ARMSTnOM' SHXTKM'ED. It Is Believed That He Will Xot nik Another Trinl. KOKOMO, Feb. 12. Special. The howling of the blizzard without might have answered for the protest of Tijton county's indignant taxpayers when CaJ Armstrong was arraigned for sentence In the circuit court this morning. It was found that young Armstrong Mas far less eager for a new trial than wer the attorneys for the. state, for all the talk that has be-n made by his counsel in this direction.

Intimating that Tipton county U by no means satisfied with a verdh t of three year as the punishment for tiift of $43,000.

After his sentence th defense gave notice that it would apjeal to the supreme court on questions of. law afToetlnr the Fuflhdeney of the Indictment.

They had with them a band of music and the program was to reach Kaukauna at 6:30, march through the streets and Sims was to deliver a lecture at the baptist hureh. Such proceedings would undoubtedly have precipitated a bloody riot, as the city f Kaukauna is in a turmoil of factional and religious bigotry and bitterness. To prevent Sims s appearance at Kaukauna, Peter Reuter, mayor of the city, today instituted a civil suit for libel against Sinns and a warrant was issu.il for his arrest by Judge bxdlanI of the Outagamie circuit court.

He began w ith the statement that he was a democrat, and then proceeded to villify and slander President Cleveland and congress, which he denounced as the unani'Tican congress. He said the democratic party and congress were tin emissaries of the Roman catholic church, and that the iarty owes its supremacy today to the priests who receive tluir orders from the pope and transmit them to the ieopIe who, as just so many sheep in a. flock, oley their shepherd. He said he would not da remake a scech in Chicago because he would have no protection where the mayor and police were Roman catholic democrats, lie dwelt at length on tho unamericau policy of congress. He did not find any fault whatever with the g. o. p. from beginning to ending of his harangue. He dwelt at length, also, on the insult offered "our old grand army flag" by tue mob in Appleton, Wis., where, lie said, they threw stones and eggs at the flag "that he and his friends carried." He didn't sonn to think this attack was made on him but n the "United States flag." He characterized catholics as "rioting wolves, dogs, anarchists and Hibernians," and said the party in power owed allegiance to them. He said it was our luly as true American citizens to pp-- them. The A. P. A. lodge here Is kept very secret, but the parties that look after the enteitainm-Mit and comfort of Mr. Sims are all prominent, steadfast republicans. His speech made it dear to The Sentinel -orres pond nt that the old bloody shlrt cry, whhdi for so Ionic tim kept the g. o. p. alive, is a. dead issue, and that this A. P. A. movement is simply an effort to excite the prejudices of the people po as ti strengthen the waning fortunes of the grand old party that once boasted the leadership of Lincoln, Grant and Sh?rman. The catholics here are nearly all democrats, and Sims Would like to incite the protesta tits against them that is all there is in it. The catholics here t-re. moreover, as good, patriotic, law-abiding citizens as any in the community, and it will take a much greater man than "Prof." Sims to prejudice cur ieople against them. This is an unusually sensible part "f Indiana, and the man makes a great mistake, to say the least of it. when he thinks he can, by sinh a tirade as was made last night, set one part f it against another on account of the other's religion. He is simply "barking up the wrong tree." ROCKVILLE, Feb. 12. Spec ial. The A. P. A. blizzard flag has been up here for the last three diys, and the cyclone ended last night, and it is hoped for all time, by a two-hom s-and-a-half harangue by "Prof." Sims. Tho citizens of this place have l-en afllleted by cranks before, but never have thy lten so harangue,! as by this one. He started out by paying his "respects" to The Sentinel cot resixndent. but did not. refute anything which that scrupulously roriTt-t journal had said about him. The charge made that he was not a lenmerAt seemed to pinch him worse than anything else, and he repeated his allegiance to that iarty. Surely, if he is a democrat, he is the same kind they sprout and grow in the republican hot -bed. Thf xcitement cause by the discussions around town brought out an audience that tilled the ourt-room. and It was an average in the way of intelligence, but not once during his lengthy effort did he receive a word or sign of applause or approval, although be frequently paused it: anxious expectation ,f jt. He said so much during his windy palaver that the valuable space of The Sentinel could not be expected to print one per cent, of It. nor Its readers lie punished with it. SiuTiee to say, it was characteristic of the ad-vrK-ates of such movements, and he tilled the measure of all such cranks. The harangue It cannot exioet the dignity of being tailed a lecture was simply a batch of asertlons, without a schitlll: of proof, and abounded in self-contradictions throughout. At the crnuiuslon of his tirade, and when the audience was tired and worn out. he wound up by singing that g. rnd, patriotic song. "America." in a ,oice that sounded like the bull of Basham. Thus, saoreligtously. ended three of the most absurd, senseless and untruthful "lectures" that ever abused the ears of a peaceable, law-abiding and patriotic community. May his like never be seen or heard of here again Is the wish of many citizens. THE EAi;LE IX HAD IRSIXESS. An A. I. A. Editor Fined for rlmlnnl Libel. FT. WAYNE, Feb. 7. Seclal.

There wa not light enough for ine to see at all. and I had to feel my way everywhere. Apparently tho Brother Jonathan is in excellent condition, and I have hopes of raising her. From what I learn the gold in the ship is locked up in different parts of the vessel, and with the aid of light I anticipate no difficulty in locating it. In the spring I shall make preparations and recover the lost treasure." PARDRIDGE'S BANK ACCOUNT. It Is Humored That lie Has Made OOn.tMiO In Wheat. CHICAGO. Feb.
