Be Writes a Letter in Regard to the Recent Senatorlt&l Fight. A latter which is self-explanatory has just been received in this city by Mr. McElroy B. Glenn from Grand Master Frank P. Sargent of the Brotherhood of Locomotive firemen, with headquarters at Peoria:

Peoria 111., Jan. 19, 1897.

McElroy B. Glenn, Esq., 1001 South Seventh Street, Terre Haute, Ind.: Dear Sir and Brother:—I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of the 15th inst. and I appreciate very much the expression of thanks which you have extended to Brothers Morrissey, Powell and myself for the endorsement wired to Indianapolis in behalf of our esteemed friend, W. R. McKeen: I was very sorry he was not named as the senator from Indiana, as I realized that had he been elected to that important position the railroad men of this country would have a warm friend in the senate .from whom they would receive courteous consideration and such assistance as their interest might require.

I have always, regaTded Mr. McKeen as one of the best and most just railway ^managers In the country.' I know that he is a man that could not be swayed by influence or trapped by any of the pitr&lls that-might be laid for him, but at all times fighting for the rights of his people. Mr. McKeen.can rest assured that should he at any future time aspire for public recognition that the railway men will be his! best and stanchest friend# and will stand by him at all times. "While. I do not suppose that, our endorsement would hftve very much influence, 'at the, same time we wanted to show our good will" and that we appreciated'the many favors which he has in the past extended to the railway employes, as well as our organizations. Brothers-P. H. Morrissey, grand chief of trainmen and R. V. PwweJi, grand chief of telegraphers %nd myself had no hesitancy in going on record as to our personal opinion of Mr. McKeen. and had hoped for his election as United States senator. With kindest regards, I remain,

PRETTV MRS. CLIVER

WIFE OVA FOURTH STREET MAM D^ VOIiVKD IN A SENSATION.

She Makes Some Serious Charges Against Wn. Ellsworth, a Prominent Farmer of Sngar Creek Township.

SAYS "HE HUGGED AND KISSED HER

ELLSWORTH DENIES THE STORY AND CHARGES CONSPIRACY.,

Dylans He is the Victim of Blackmail—A Diamond in the Case—Salt to Follow.

A sensation full of the spiciest details has been sprung on the North Side. It is one of the most sensational cases of its kind to be sprung on the people of Terre Haute in many a day and from a careful perusal of the statements of the Interested parties it must be admitted the case is replete with many peculiarities.

Mr. and Mrs. Harry Oliver and William Ellsworth are the central figures in the domestic drama and it is given out by the lawyers who have been retained in the case that Oliver is preparing to bring suit against Ellsworth for the alienation of his wife's affections: On the other hand Ellsworth has employed counsel and he makes the statement that in case Oliver sues him he will institute proceedings alleging conspiracy and blackmail. Harry Oliver resides on North' Fourth street, just north of Chestnut. Until a short time ago he was proprietor of the West Side Grocery. William Ellsworth is a young farmer and lives in Sugar Creek township. However, he spends much of hi stiin.e ih Terre .Haute, and is well known in the city,

It was Tuesday morning that Mr. EllsmUch of his time in Terre Haute, and is from his feet and came over to a real live city, and it was not long after reaching Terre Haute that he called at the Oliver house on North Fourth street. The story of what happened is best told in the statements, made by Ellsworth and Mrs. Oliver. The Sugar Creek farmer says:

T«-ll» About Mr*. Cllvfr. 'J

"I have known and liked Harry Oliver for a long time. When he was in the grocery jnisiness I traded with him and on some occasions my wife and I have dined at his home over the store. Mrs. Oliver is a somewhat rough, coarse talker, and I understand has been twice divorced, but I knew nothing against her character until yesterday, and therefore my wife and I took dinner with her and Mr. Oliver on a few occasions, and when they came out to our house, as they did to see their horses, we had them dine with us. I state this to show that we were friends and to make clear how much astodished I was by what occurred yesterday. "Oliver owed me about $40 for caring for his horseB on the farm, and promised me some money. He expected, he said, to make some sale or to get some money in. some way, and told me to come to the house and. he would pay me. Yesterday I was in town and concluded to go to the house and see if he could make a payment. He had told me he lived on North. Fourth street, but exceft that the house was near Harvey Foulkes' drug store, I did not know where it was. I went to the drug store, and. a| Barry was out, I inquire^ .of t^e^ler^ jphp, told me the house was the third from the store. I counted the Nichol grocery as one, and went to the wrong house, inquired if Mr. Oliver lived there and was told that he lived at tlip next house. When I knocked Mrs. Oliver came to the door and invited me in^ I asked for Mr. Oliver and was told that he was' not at home, but would be back at 2 o'clock. I stayed but a moment and went away, saying I would be back at 2 o'clock. It was then dinner time, 12 o'clock, I came at 2 o'clock and Mrs. Oliver again let me in and asked me to come upstairs. I thought nothing of it, as they lived upstairs in the other house, and I followed her. :':K Mrs. Oliver's Gloves nod Shows "She acted a little strangely, showed me her gloves which she said were very shabby and also her shoes, which she complained of.

There /was moccasion for all this notoriety, ft.is trii£ my husband struck him and that hTs diamond pin was lost in this house hnt, as to anyone trying to steal it that, is all false. Why, I could have stolen a diamond from him before had I so desired. I wore his diamond ring for a long time. He gave it to me one time when my sister and a relative of Ellsworth were at my house. My sister and this young man were engaged and they saw Ellsworth give me the ring. "I have known him for several' j?ears and have always been friendly with him and 'his wife.

frequently and we, my husband and I, have called on them. Mr. Ellsworth has been pursuing me for about a year for, the purpose of having,Illicit relations with me, I have accepted favors from hhn on a number of occasions. He left an order at Hurst's livery stable soma time ago that I was to be permitted to use his wife's phaeton whenever I called for it. I have used the rig and have also gone out riding with Mr. Ellsworth. We would go out for a drive and on one occasion we went to a restaurant before we came home. All this, of course was not known to my husband, to whom Mr. Ellsworth pretended to be a great friend. Ellsworth has-tried to persuade me to leave my husband saying I should never want for a protectory if I stuck to him. "Yesterday morning/ a few minutes before noon, I heard the doqj- bell ring and going to the door fbuttd Ellsworth. He came in without waiting dor an invitation and called me his 'sweetheart.'' He wanted to know if my husband was home and when I informed him that Harry would be in for dinner in a few minutes he became nervous and wanted to. leave then. After learning that.my husband would.not be at home in the afternoon he left, saying he would call at ~2 o'clock. He made his own date, fixed the time himself and called without any suggestions of mine.

And Ellsworth fame Back.

"He called on me at 2 o'clock and as soon as the door was closed behind me he threw his arms about me and kissed me. After telling me, to see that all the doors were locked we went up stairs together and went into my bed room. Ellsworth wanted me to lock the door and when I refused he fastened the door himself. "When Ellworth started tip stairs I called to him to come down, but he kept on going and finally I followed. First I stood on the outside of the door and asked him to please come down stairs, but he would, not do so. It was then that I went ,in. No sooner had I gotten into the bedroom than he shut the door and locked it. Then he threw his arms around me again. I did not like his conduct and I screamed. The lady who lives next door will tell you that she heard me. We were in the room for about twenty minutes, Now his statement relative to my gloves and shoes is another falsehood. I can show you that I have plenty of good clothe^. I have also diamonds of my own, and I believe better ones than Ellsworth ever had. I will admit that he hugged me and kissed me while we were up stairs, but that is all, and I also' want to say that he nevSr .would have done that had I been strong enough to prevent it. Another thing I did not want to have a?fight and rouse the whole neighborhood..

Well, finally I got him to come down stairs and out of the house, but he ^wtrtiltl not go. We were down in the* hall talking when he seized me again and hugged and kissed me several times. Ellsworth is a strong man, as I said before, and though I struggled to free myself, was unable to do so. At this juncture I, screamed again calling 'Help, help! Harry! Harry!' It so happened that Harry bad returned from the North End and hearing voices in the hall had silently opened the door and slipped into the kitchen. When hie heard me call for help he dashed into the room, and jumped onto Ellsworth. Harry had left the house after dinner to transact some business in the north part of the city and I had no idea he was coming^ back so soon. It seemed he/forgot some papers and come back after them

Then There AVasfa, Fight.1r"

He got there just in time to see everything. There was Ellsworth's arms and he trying to take improper liberties with me. My husband was in a furious rage and I thought he would kill Ellsworth. He struck him in the face. I rushed between the men and in my efforts to separate them grabbed Ellswprth's tie. In the struggle his diamond*1stud was" pulled out of his shirt front and fell £o the floor. Ellsworth finally broke lodse from my husband and ran out^ofH he"^Use. Later in the day two men, one of whom was a detective called at the house, and demanded Ellsworth's pin. I said I didn't have it, my object in making this statement being to keep the matter quiet. I wanted Ellsworth to call for the pin himself so we could hush the matter up. When the police called the pin was lying on my dresser, it having been picked up by my husband. When the officers called the second time they- obtained the pin from my husband. "This is about all I. know about the fight. Of course there are some other things that will likely be told before the thing is all settled, for I understand Harry has employed Carson Hamill to» bring suit for divorce, and I also understand that he will also sue Ellsworth for damages. This, of course, .will bring on a trial. When the proper time comes I will tell what I know about Ellsworth, and you may rest assured that when I do tell wshat-I know there will

and she screamed,

'Harry! Harry!' He came running, although she said he was not in the house, and struck me. They both ran into the back room, and seeing I was no match for the two of them I left and went for my lawyer, Mr. Catlin, and we complained to the police. Mr. Catlin and Detective Dwyer went to the house to demand my pin. Mrs. Oliver said she had never seen it, and that if I said she had it I was a liar. "In the meantime Mr. Oliver came to me and demanded an explanation. I replied.

and John

son. The third, Que Williams was charged with shooting his young wife. He claimed that his wife was shot accidentally while he was endeavoring at 1 o'clock in the morning to kill a rat. The lynchers jeered this explanation and strung him up to the limb of a tree near the Little Zion Church in Oak street. Joiner and Johnson were then led to the Cotton residence, about twelve miles out, being threatened with burning, confessed their guilt. They were then strung up and their bodies were riddled with bullets.

When the crowd found Deputy Sheriff Marshal Waimvright last night they compelled him to open the Jail and deliver to them three negroes—John Johnson, Arch Joiner and Gus Williams. The .latter was hanged near Amite City, while'* the former were conveyed to the scene of their crime, the Cotton home, a distance of twelve miles. A rainstorm was prevailing when the line of march was taken up and the progress was slow and exceedingly disagreeable. Joiner and Johnson walked about a mile, when Johnson said he could go no further—that he was exhausted. A wagon was procured, and both negroes hustled into it. The rain came down in torrents, and the night was dismal, and this, combined with the grotesque appearance of every one, as they ^trode slowly along, muffled up in big overcoats, was enough to fill the heart of the negroes with deepest awe. There were probably two hundred men in line, all exceedingly orderly and quiet. i, .When Independence was reached a halt was made, and'those who desired had an opportunity to view the negroes, after which the march was again resumed, this time in a southeasterly direction from Independence, over rough and slippery roads, the rain faling in torrents all the while.

When within two miles of the residence formerly occupied by the Cottons, some of the crowd set up a yell, and much promiscuous shooting was indulged in. Just before reaching Cotton's place, a few lines of "Nearer My God to Thee" were hummed to a doleful tune. Arriving at the place where the five murders were committed, Johnson and 'Joiner Were made to jump out of the wagon. Joiner had in some way loosened the rope on his hands, and, watching his opportunity, made a daring break for freedom. He got off a few feet, when some one grabbed him when a short but sharp tussle took place others rushed to the rescue, and he was soon subdued and a rope placed around his neck, Johnson seemed sullen and said nothing, nor did he endeavor to escape. Joiner set up a piteous moan, and begged his captors to shoot him, as he preferred death by being shot to any other mode. He then requested to be permitted to fight Johnson, saying that Johnson had got him into all the trouble. Johnson signified his desire to fight, and they had an opportunity to gratify their passion for a fisticuff.

Johnson, though much smaller than Joiner put up a good fight and dealt Joiner some telling blows. The spectacle of the two men, who, as it were, were on the very brink of the great hereafter, fighting, has probably never been before witnessed.

They- were conveyed into different .rooms of the house, and, by threats of severe torture, Joiner was asked to tell all he knew about the Cotton murders. He stoutly denied having ever seen John Johnson before, and denied having knowledge as to who killed the people. Finally, by a little torture and more theats. Joiner admitted that he came to the fence the night of the murders, but no nearer the house. In the meantime another squad of men had Johnson off getting his confession. He vehemently maintained that Arch Joiner was the instigator of the whole plot and was the guilty one. Some one suggested putting them to death by burning them. Nearly every one acquiesced in this suggestion, and three big fir&s were started one for the men, who were all wet, to dry their clothes by, and the other presumably for the purpose of burning the negroes. Most of the men were eager to burn Johnson, any way, but it was finally decided to hang both of them.

The negroes were brought face to face with each other and Joiner coufessed, saying he had killed John Cotton and Mervin Stevens, and Johnson reiterated his first confession, made when he was caught, to the effect that he killed Mrs. John Cotton, Miss Agnes Miller and Miss Lizzie Miller.

Neither of them implicated any white man,

After this statement by the negroes, the men conveyed them several hundred yards from the Cotton residence, hanged them side by side and fired a volley of shots into their bodies. Joiner's head was almost shot off,

C., Jan. 20.--Consul General Lee telegraphed to the State Depart ment this morning that the American, Henry Delgado, correspondent, of the New York Mail and Express, whtf has been a prisoner in Havana, died in the hospital there last

night. Delgado was c&ptured by the Spaniards while he was lying ill in an insurgent hospital in the province of Pinar del Rio, in December last. From that place he was brought to San Ambrpsio Hospital in Havana, which is set apart for. political prisoners. His home was at Hudson, N. Y.

The immediate' cause of Delgado's death was an abscess of the stomach which refused to yield to treatment. "Consul General Lee's reports show that the man had the best of attention ever since his case was brought to his attention. Delgado suffered horribly from neglect, it is said, in the early stages of his ailmentj before he was arrested. For ten weeks he lay in a bare hut, almost without attention. About December 10, last, he was found ty the Spaniards in Pinar Del Rio. and sent under arrest to Havana where, upon discovery of how ill he was, he was .removed to the hospital and some weeks ago, an operation w-as performed upon him, the abcess in the stomach being opened. This failed to heal and the exhaustion that followed doubtless was the cause of death. 'ft

It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night t?o urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Sold by druggists price 50 cents and $1. For a sample bottle and pamphlet, both set free by mail, mention The Terre Haute Express and send your full poetofflce address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham ton, N. Y.

Tuesday afternoon the Senate sdopted report favoring the passlge of the Shivcly anti-cigarette bill. It requires a county licens.-» of $50 a year for retailing and $200 for wholesaling cigarettes or cigarette wrap-1 pers, and permits towns and cities to re-r quire an additional license, limited to $25 for retail and *$50 for wholesale. It also provides that any person under 18 years old having cigarettes or cigarette paper on his person may be fined not to exceed $10.

It develops that the Standard Oil Company has secured leases on thousands

acres of land in Lagrange and Steuben counties. Geological surveys which have been made are said to be very encouraging. It is thought that the large tract of land in Steuben county, supposed to have been bought by Cleveland capitalists, is another move of the Standard Oil people to develop oil fields in northern Indiana.

There will be no football played at Wabash College next year, even if the Legislature fails to pass a prohPdtive law. The college athletic association has met and passeld a resolution, favoring the abolition of the game at Wabash. It was urged that the proper financial support was never given a Wabash College football team, and that the management was always left badly in debt. During the past season money was subscribed sufficient to employ a secondclass coach for only two weeks. The association is still in debt and the players refuse to follow the game next season unless a good coach can be assured them. Such an assurance cannot be given.

A law which the Iiegislature ought to enact is one providing for the licensing an4 inspection of private banks, says the Sullivan Union. Some of the biggest concerns in the State are private banks and it is re* markable that there is nothing to protect depositors or give them an insight into tlw business and management of such institu* tions. It is true that all the partners Ig the private banking business are responsible to the extent of all their property, but thai doesn't go far enough. A private bank i* a public Institution and ought to be super* vised like State and National banks.
