The Traveling Man Mentioned In i the Case Has Faced His Accusers. Evaneville, Ind., Nov. 18. The ponce are now more confident of solving the two murder mysteries than they le been at any time since the crimes were committed a week ago. The Railey case has not been abandoned altogether, but the officers are doing more work now on the Renner case, and it is not at all unlikely that an arrest will be made in a short time. It is rumored that a member of the police department i" under suspicion and will be arrested charged with the murder of Lena Renner. The police will not discuss the matter. The officer in question is said to have been seen buggy riding with the girl the night she was murdered. Charles Hayes, the traveling man mentioned in the case, arrived Sunday and met the people who claimed to have seen aim on Monday night. None was positive, and all refused to make affidavits. Many sensational rumors are afloat. CJtUSHKI) TO OKATH School Teacher At Salem the Victim of IUtresln; Accident. Salem, Ind., Nov. 18.

TWO OK A KIXD
Khf riipi'r Kerry Mlei Body Itaa IW-fM Vmcr Ideotifle 1. Indianapolis, Nov. 18. The body of Kbenezer Perry, which was stolen on Oct. 10 from the Center Grove cemetery, was found near the intersection of Church and Wiikins streets, wrapped in l.ur-ap and tied wiu vire. The city dispensary ambulance took it to the city morgue and it was there identified by relatives who had the day before identified a body found at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and which was turned over to an undertaker awaiting the decision of Justice Stout as to their right to the body. The body wrongly identified was reurned to the college by the undertaker, who had also identified the body found last. Undertaker Lauck said he was called by telephone about 9 o'clock at night and advised that the body of Perry would be found near the place where it was found. He had at the time possession of the body which had been identified as that of Perry and thought someone was endeavoring to give him needless work. The case filed in Justice Stout's court will probably never be tried, as the body in question was returned to the college. Court Will Settle It. w Muncie. Ind., Nov. 8. The members of the board of trustees of the Eastern Indiana normal university have begun suit against Prof. F. A. Z. Kumler for possession of the building. According to the contract.

Marshals Slain By Bad M in They Were After. Oxford, Miss., Nov. 18. John A. Montgomery, deputy United States marshal pro tern, of this city, and Deputy United States Marshal Hugh Montgomery of Pontoloc, left here late Saturday for the purpose of arresting Will Mathis, an alleged counterfeiter and moonshiner, who lived 12 miles east of this place. Early Sunday morning Hugh Montgomery's horso was found standing at the gate of Curdy Hall, a neighbor of Mathis, and Mathis' house ourned to the ground. Upon further investigation two partially burned bodies were found in the ashes of the burned building, which have been identified as the remains of the deputy marshals. John A. Montgomery's horse has not been found, and it is supposed that Mathis made his escape on this horse after the men had been, killed and the house set on fire. Mathis was indicted last summer for making and passing counterfeit money and was out of jail upon a $2,000 bond. The principal witness against him was a negro living in the same neighborhood. About a month ggo thjejegrowas agassinated. The two Montgomerys went to arrest Mathis for making illicit whisky, and, it is supposed that thev were prevailed upon to remain for the nigb.t and were shot while guarding their prisoner. A ( posse of 30 or 40 of the leading citizens of Oxford went out to the scene of the murder, and every effort will bo made to capture Mathis. Queen Will Not Be OutdoneT London. Nov. IS.

FATAli MINING TltOLHl.E
Clash Between Opportune Forces Kiuli In Bl.xMUhed Madfsonville. Ky Nov. 18. Mining troubles in this district brought more bloodshed Sunday morning. James H. Smith, a negro striker, is dead; Geo. Crouch, another etriker, is fatally wounded, while John West, Hut Dawson and Nathan Bush, all guards, are wounded, none of them dangerously. The trouble occurred at the mines of the Providence Coal company. 17 miles from here, where an atlack began at about 4 : 30 o'clock. The attacking party, some 75 or 8; strong, first fired on the engine house and then ia a few minutes the company's stables were surrounded. A horse and a mule were killed and several other animals disabled. By this time the guards were becoming active and the attackers formed in a semi-circle over the brow of the MIL From there they poured a well-directed fire upon the houses occupied by the non-union employes and their families. Men aroused by the crash of bullets, rushed to small timber piles, arranged for use in such an emergency, and from behind these returned the fire. The attacking party, while sending volley after volley into this quarter, kept up a steady fire on the tipple, engine room, stable and other buildings of the company, while the guards for their part were doing effective work. The battle raged for almost an hour and a half, when the assailants withdrew, leaving Smith dead and Crouch shot through and through on the field. How many wounded they took with them is not known, but the leader was seen to fall, and it is believed some of the party who went to his rescue were hit. County Judge Ball at Providence 8tp-ted an investigation. An inquest was held, the coroner's jury verdic being that the negro came to his death at the hands of the guards while de fending life and property, and they were therefore justifiable. The news of the shooting spread like wildfire. It was not long before ilie news reached Adjutant General Murray, who at once commenced an investigation, opening up communication with the governor. Following the battle at the Providence mine there were riots at other Kentucky mines. An attack was made on the nine guards at the Monarch mines, three miles from Earlington. last night, but it was repulsed. Two employes of the St. Bernard coal company at Morton's Gap were fired upon by a man who sprang from behind a tree. There was much trouble at other places, but neither injury nor loss of life followod. Owing to the day's riots and tne serious situation in the mining field of Webster and Hopkins counties, the governor has ordered out the militia. The troops left for the scene of trouble this morning. A letructlve t.nle. Halifax, N. S., Not. 18.

An afternoon walk brought hfm to the edjre of a emtins through which ran bis line. On a side track lay a waiting engine. The fireman and engineer were smoking placidly, while the safety valve was giving open evidence of the size of the tire within. As the engine was doing nothing in particular, this waste of coal roused il;e ire of the man on the bank. "Who is .vour master mechanic?" he Inquired of the loating fireman. "Oh. some gray bearded, bnldheaded old blankety blank blank fool down in Bostou." was the cheerful answer. "Well." returned the other as not a muscle of his face changed.

It causes bunches in the neck, disfigures the skin, inflames the mucous membrane, wastes the muscles, weaken the bones, reduces the power of resistance to disease and the capacity for recovery, and develops into consumption. A bunch appeared on the left side' of my neck. It caused great pain, was lanced, and became a running sore. I went into a general decline. I was persuaded to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and when I had taken six bottles my neck was healed and I have never had any trouble of the kind since." Mas. K. T. Snyder, Troy, Ohio.
