Artman Is about forty years old, six feet four Inches in height, and at present is raving like a maniac Artisan was conveyed U> tha-county jail at Cannelton.

HE IS STONE DEAD.

Execution of Stone, tho Wratten Murderer. James E. Stone, who cruelly and without motive murdered six members of the Wratten family, near Wash ington, Daviess county. Sept. 19. 1893, was hanged at the prison south at 12:15 Friday morning. This was the first hanging unner the new law at tho southern penitentiary. Warden Patten conducted the execution. The legal requirement, limiting the number of witnesses, was strictly observed. The crime for which Stone was executed was probably the most atrocious ever committed in Indiana. Stone has been re-

garded as a metaphysical wonder, for after murdering the Wrattens in cold blood with an ax and corn-knife ho not only assisted in preparing the bodies for burial, but acted as ono of tho pall-bearers at tho funeral. He was not at first suspected. It was his wife’s testimony that indicted him. There was no robbery, and Stone has never assigned a motive for tliocrimo, claiming it was simply an insane impulse. He made a full confession, or rather several confessions, and always claimed that he was the only person implicated. The mystery has never been fully cleared up, there being many circumstances tending to show that Stone was not the only person connected with the crime. Stone met his fate with calmness and expressed his belief that he had tom forgiven for his awful deed and that the angels In hpaven awaited his coming; that his crimson stained hands had been washed in tho blood of the lamb; that he had made his peace with God and man. The body of the murderer was taken back to Daviess county for burial, Friday.

THIEF AT LARGE.

Embezzler Cal Arm ttrong Breaks Jail at Kokomo, Calvin Armstrong, the defaulting Tipton county deputy treasurer, who was sentenced at Kokomo, Monday, to three years for embezzling $43,030 of public funds, broke jail Monday night and is now a fugitive. Monday afternoon the prisoner sawed off a two-inch bar of his cell on the second story of the jail, and, sliding down to the first floor, secreted himself behind the cage at the far end of the corridor, taking a section of the bar two inches in diameter and two feet long with him- to mse as-a weapon,He remained there until the sheriff came in to feed the prisoners, and when that officer went upstairs with the supper Cal and a tramp, indicted for stoning a train, made a rush for the open door. Tho officer upstairs did not hear them, and by a combination of singular circumstances the noted embezzler escaped unnoticed. The escape was not discovered until 0 o’clock Tuesday morning, giving the fugitive twelve hours the start of all pursuers. How he got out of town without being recognized is a mystery, but that he had accomplices seems certain. The Tipton county people, whose money the gay young Dcp.ity Treasurer had squandered on the race track and in gambling rooms, are furious over tho escape. They were indignant over the mild sentence given the embezzler, and the escape has intensified tho feeling to tho lynching point. A liberal reward is offered for his capture Ha is twenty-four years old, weighs pounds, has very dark hair, large brows mustache, large steel-gray eyes, fair complexion. white, regular teeth, wore a black cutaway coat, derby hat, wide-collared, heavy ulster of dark-brown Irish freize cloth. He walks with his head erect and has a haughty air. It is believed that Armstrong is headed for Mexico, as he has sporting friends there.

WHOLESALE JAIL DELIVERY.

A wholesale jail delivery at Toledo, Monday night, of the prisoners in the Mad Hon county jail, has set tho county in a fit of excitement. A novel scheme was played by the prisoners. To secure their liberty they opened the lock to the cell of the corridor with a wooden key at 9 o’clock. As the sheriff entered to put the prisoners to bed, two that were secreted beh nd the door struck him over the head with a chair leg and knocked him insensible. His pockets were rifled of a revolver. Four colored men, who were held on a charge of burglary, escaped.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

At Tuesday’s session of the Senate Senator Gray resumed bis argument in support of the President's Hawaiian policy and reiterated bis charges that the revolution ists dependent on the United States minister and the United States forces for support of their movement, and that thereafter the provisional government depended absolutely on the United States forces and the flag for protection and for the maintenance of the government they had estiblished. The debate developed the fact that the provisional government of Hawaii is not lita ly to bo interfered with In any way by the Unite l States, although Senator Gray said that he regretted that it was a practical impossibility to restore the stfitui qtio of Jan. 16, 1833. At tho conclusion of Senatir Gray’s argument, the house bill, to compel tho Rock Island railroad to stop its trains at the towns<of Enid and Round Pond, was taken up. Senator Blackburn taking the floor in opposition to the bill. No conclusion was reached oh the bill, and. on request of Senator Berry, it was agreed that the measure should come up again. On motion of Senator Ram on, the Senate, at 5 p. m., went into executive session, and ten minutes later adjourned. The House spent Tuesday In debate on the Bland seigniorage bill, the principal speeches being those by Mr. Culberson, of Texas, in favor of the measure, and Mr. Coombs, of New York, in opposition. Several times Mr. Bland attempted to reach agreement for closing general debate, with a view to securing a vote, but objection was made. Mr. Kilgore was recognized to complete his speech begun last Friday. He began by denying the statement made by the opponents of the bill that it would force the Secretary of the Treasury to redeem the treasury notes of 1891 in silver. It wouid not In any way Interfere, he said, with the redemption of these notes in gold or silver, at the op lon of the holder, but, having been redeemed, silver coin or certificates would go out to take their place in the country’s currency. Mr.. Coombs opposed tho bill. It was not pleasunt for him, he said, to .differ with his Democratic colleagues. Mr Bell, of Texas, who followed, contended that the real question at issue was whether the United States should exercise its right of sovereignty to issue paper money or to issue interest-bearing bonds upon which the national banks would issue national bank notes, Mr. Culbertson said the general object of tho Bland bill was to get the silver bullion now in tho Treasury in circulation as rapidly as possible. About $55,000.0 0 of it would be a pure addition to the currency; It would not appreciate any class of money nor carry a taint of depreciation Into the currency. Mr. Warner announced himself in favor of permitting the government to coin and is.-a > all kinds of money and issue all bond money, and the banks to issue all credit money. The committee then rose, and, at 4:45, the House adjourned. The entire time of the Senate, Wednesday, was devoted to a discussion of the Honse bill compelling the Rock Island railroad to stop its trains at Enid and Rounlpound in the Indian Territory. Senator Frye presented a remonstrance from the National W. C. T. U. against a tax on whisky.

At the opening of tho House, Wednesday, the resignation of Representative Brawley, of South Carolina, who has been appointed United States district Judge, was read and filed. The newly elected members from New York, Messrs, Quigg and Strauss, were sworn in. Messrs. Roid and Bland became involved in an angry altercation over the limitations of the debate on tho Bland seigniorage bill. At 5:30 the House adjourned. In the »Senate. Thursday, Senator Iloar presented a bill to deprive lotteries of mail service. Then the House bill to compel the Roek Island Railroad Company to stop Its trains at Enid and Round Pond came up. After argument Senator Blackburn moved to lay the bill on the table. The roil call resulted, yeas 35, nays 31. and the motion to table the bill was defeated. On a final vote the bill passed—27 to 27, with the vote of the Vico President in the affirmative deciding the contest. The bill was, however, amended by the Senate and must go back to the House. Senator Peffer presented an amendment to provide that in any election for the location of county seats, “all citizens of the Untied States, irrespective of sex,” shall be entitled to vote. It was opposed by Senator Blackburn, but Senator Peffer made a strong speech in support of his amendment. “I intend.” sa d he, in conclusion, “to avail myself of every opportunity to give to woman—God bless her—every advantage, every right and every privilege that I havo got.” [Applause.] The amendment was defeated, the vote being —y<as 15, nays 42. Those voting for woman’s suffrage were: Senators Allison, Carey. Davis, Dolph, Frye, Gallingir, Hansbrough, Kyle. Manlerson. Mitchell of Oregon, Peffer, Perkins, Stewart, Teller and Wilson. In the House, Thursday, Mr. Bland moved to go into committee of the whole for consideration of the seigniorage bill which was agreed to. Mr. Bland then made a personal explanation, stating that Mr. Walker had quoted from one of his speeches in which he was represented as admitting the possibility of the depreciation of the silver dollar to the price of bullion. He did not dispute the accuracy of the report of his sp-ech. but the words had been spoken in the heat of debate and did not represent his views. There was, he said, an active, universal demand for silver for use in the arts. Under these circumstances it would be strange, he said, if bullion silver and coinel silver had the same value. He urged, however, that once thero was free and unllmite I coinage of silver the demand for the bullion for colnago purposes would bripg both coin and bullion silver to par. Mr. Hendrix opposed the bill and said that there was nothing sadder than to see a farmer sitting on a fo'ice rail with a gesticulating politician trying to convince him that the low price of wheat was due to the “crime of 1873.” The other speakers wero Messrs. Simpson, Bingham, Boatnor. Enloc. Hall of Minn&sota. Goodnight. Rawlins and Latimer. The House adjourned at 5:15. The Japanese have become “Christianized” enough to reaort to bomb-throwing in order to get revenge on their enemies. Recently a resident of Gumma prefecture threw a bomb into the honae of a politician who had not obtained for him a coveted position. Four Inmates of the house [ were injured, ou# fatally.

A DASTARDLY CRIME.

j euthem Pacific Train Wrecked--and Robbed. 1 Switch Ton«d and the Express Car Blown Dp tviih Dynamite. A dispatch from Los Angelos, Ca!.. Feb 18, says: Southern Pacific train No. 20 wa* robbed at Roscoe station this morning, ibont 1 o'clock. Tne train reached Buraank, about six miles north of tho city, md reported back all right. At Roscoe, lour miles north of Burbank, there is no itation but a siding. As the train approached the siding the engineer. Thomas, law too late that the switch was misplaced and vainly tried to stop the train, ant he could not do it, and the engine and two fruit cars of oranges went Into the ditch, the engine turning over and burying the engineer and fireman. Tho two fruit :ars were a total wreck. As soon as the wreck occurred three masked men sprang ouf of the bashes and commenced a fusilade, and every one knew that the mission of the desperadoes was robbery. A few seconds later a couple >f dynamite bombs were placed under the Express car. The messenger refused to apen the car and the whole side was blown off. Brakeman Foster rose to the Emergency as soon as he heard the shots, •nd made a run for a neighboring ranch bouse, where he saw a light. Hers be got a team and drove back to Burbank and gave the alarm. Two tramps had gotten on the pilot of the Engine and were stealing a ride, when the locomotfve Jumped the track. One of them was hurled, fifty feet, and marvel* snsly escaped Injury. Tile other, James Daly, was caught and buried beneath the debris of the engine. He was instantly rilled, his body being horribly mangled The wrecked engine went down the bank ten feet. Engineer Thomas Jumped and run, but Fireman Masters was pinioned between the cab and tender and died as ha ivas taken out. Harry Edgar, the express messenger in charge of the WellsFargo Co npuny, and the only person !»• the car, gave a version of the affair as follows: -The first thing I knew there was a terrible shock and I at once knew, there was a wreck, but of course did m' Know what was the matter. The explosion of a dynamite bomb was tbe next thing heard at the right hand door. 1 was standing near the center ol tho car when the bomb exploded. It shattered the door into splinters and th« whole car was st n filled with smoke. The robbers then began shooting, warning me in the meantime to open the dooi the door quickly. They shovel a rifle Into the door. I obeyed them under tbt penalty of death. Two robbirs came is and got all they cotl.l. I opined the Wei Is-Fargo box, and they took what little silver there was. I saw only tws men.” After gathering together their booty the robbers placed it in gunny sacks, and, mounting horses, galloped off In the direction of the mountains. It Is not knows how much treasure of the Wells-Fargi Company the robbers male pff with, btf it is supposed to be a very large amount

TO PREVENT FILIBUSTERING

The journal clerk of tho House has form nlatcd a rule to prevent filibustering at follows: Whenever, npon a roll-call, a qnornn fails to appear, upon tho demand of an] member, tno clerk shall certify a Bst a tho members not voting 0:1 such call to the sergeant-at-arms who shall deincl from the monthly compensation of each memtorso failing to vote tho amount of his salary for one day; pro/hied that this deduction shall not b? made in the case of a member who is absent by leave of tho House. This rule, if adopted, simply carries on* existing laws. It is believed that if tit salaries of members were deducted whei th '.jr refused to vote, the practice of st> staining on Important roll calls would hr speedily discontinued, and It is very probable that the method of stopping thk abuse devised by Mr. Crutchfield will vorj shortly be adopted as one of the permanent rules of the House.
