oGIGANTIC SCHEME. The Fearful Results Should Their Plans Carry Oat la t nll Would Bankrupt The World And Pile rUuHsoa County s fllle High With Money. Klwood Catholics have started the letter chain afresh says the Anderson Herald. They want a new church up there, and lacking the required funds have hit upon the happy plan adopted by the Illinois girl to secure through which she stot enough stamns to set the nost
master and all her neighbors jfjSfnt to the city for publication, but
crazy. 1 ne scheme in Drier is as follows: A letter is mailed at El wood to some individual, requesting the person to return the letter en closing ten cents to the church committe and to address three let ters to as many friends requesting them to do the same thing. That is to mail ten cents to the committe and each write three let ters asking the parties to do the same that they have done. The result of this is at first only partial ly apparent, ine nrst person re ceiving a letter is to write, besides sending the ten cents, each of the three paaties write three others, making nine, each of the nine write three making twenty-seven, each of the twenty-seven write three mak ing eighty-one, and so on, until the fiftieth series of letters has been reached, when the chain is to be broken. Yesterday a large number of these letters were received iu Anderson. Mrs. Maggie Fitzgerald received one and immediately wrote three others! Joe Cramer got one last evening , mailed ten cents and then wrote the three friends instructing them, to do the same. He then went to figuring. After covering a sheet of paper he found that the fifteen series would bring the church over $i ,ooq,ooo. This however, is only a start. And if the plan should materialize in full the last series of letters to be r eturned containing io cent pieces would number 847,286'o9i, 147,346. The sum of all the ten cents sent in would amount to several hundred millions of dollars more than the following: $1, 847,854,352463, 273, which is only the result of the last three series, while all of the fifty are to be added together. This would require more than one million times as much money as there is in the United States or several thousand times more than there is in the whole world. Lovers of mathematics may figure from this basis as to the room required for the Elwood people to take care of their coin, in case it should all come in dimes. It would probably cover the whole of Madison county several feet deep. Lindley haw just revived a fresh supply of Kilmer's Swamp Boot Remedies,

The Hinshaw Case.
! D- .-.iv ...I I. ii ! Cravens Visit the Scene i of the Tragedy. Cent-be Valley, Ind., August 17, 1895 De , r Woblp-Coubier: D. O. Spencer and the writer have spent the larger part of two aays at Danville and Jtieiievuie in vestigating the celebrated Hinshaw case. It is a tragedy full of mystery and conflicting testimony and to one interested in delving into the depths of legaf. doubts, this furn ishes a case equalled by few and ex celled by none. We arrived at Danville yesterday morning, and at ten o'clock went to the jail to call upon Rev. Hinshaw. So large was the number of visitors when the accused was first put behind the bars that the Sheriff concluded to limit visits to Tuesdays and Fridays, and thus not be troubled the entire week. When this rule was put in operation, however, the crowds on those days were so large that it was thought best to return to the old place, and admit the visitors whenever they called. When we entered the hall leading to the jail. Rev. Hinshaw advanced along the corridor and waited at the door until the jailer admitted us. He greeted us cordially, and invited us to take seats in his temporary prison home. Wnile at conference in Blooraington, Rev. Hinshaw met Col. D. O. Spencer while the latter was acting in a reportorial capacity, and he readily recognized Dank, and related several little incidents of their acquaintance. At the time of our entrance to the jail, three of Ilinshaw's firm friends were visiting him. One of them was Dr. Drvden of Clayton, who rendered medical attention to Hinshaw and wife on the day of the tragedy. The conversation was jovial, easy and natural until Col. Spencer took out his note-book, and from that time Hinshaw was guarded in his. statements. From his desk he took an album and showed us a number of pictures of himself, his wife, mother-in-law and other relatives and friends. It was a large ;one, and long enough to hold two cabinet pictures on each page. On one page were the pictures of himself and wife and on the opposite page were the pictures of two of his strongest supporters, Dr. A. M. Strong of Belleville and Dr. T. F. Dry den of Clayton. When he turned to his wile's picture he spoke in a lower tone of voice, and when he turned to the picture of his mother-in-law he spoke kindly as to the manner in which she is standing by him. He turned to his father-in-law's picture, and by his manner showed that his feeling for him was not the warmest, In his library desk, I noticed a go.;d collection of books and magazines, and prominent on the shelf were the Bible, and a very large book whose title was printed in largo letters "The Road t- Heaven." He is deluged with all sorts of eatables and flowers and a quick way to describe it, is by stating that his jail quarters look like a cross between a first class restaurant and a floral hall. Basket dinner parties are all the go with his many supporters, and just before we left Rev. Shelby Cooper and family and some others living in the neighborhood of Cherry Grove, ten miles distant, where Rev. Hinshaw preached, arrived with numerous baskets wellfilled. The women took possession of the cell", and proceeded to get the dinner prepared. We were ordially invited to remain, but had previously made other arrangements. These basket dinners .ccur two or three times per week. A thing that particularly attracted my attention was the affectionate manner in which his friends listened to his every word and watched his every action. Everything that he said or did was promptly and enthusiastically endorsed. Some of his cullers looked upon hirn in
hero worship style, and their ac
tions indicated that nothing could e'Ter convince them that the ha.nd of the preacher was also the of the murderer. Hinshaw better looking man than hi hand id a j;c tures v.-ouid lead a. person w hr lieu He flmiye li.a person in stylit-h lar-hion, nivl is free aud easy in his manner. in ihe afternoon we t;ilktd with the attorneys for the pre:ution, and lur the defense-. The Indi anapolis papers inside an trmr in stating that HMirv N Spauof Indianapolis had U ui employed by th.tieiei.st-. On the contrary he lias been appointed by the State to aid in the prosecution. The case is set for Wednesday, September 4, and there will be no change of venue. It will begin at that time in Danville unless some important witness or witnesses are sick or otherwise prevented from coming. There will be about a hundred witnesses for the state, and about ihe same for the defense. It will probably take four weeks to finish the ca.-e. The attorneys for the state are Prosecuting attorney, Otis C. Gulley, Coler & Hadley, and Henry N. Spaan, the last named from Indianapolis. Hogate & Clark and James O. Parker represent the defense. While the attorneys and Hinshaw do not openly adn.it it, I will make the prediction that John S. Duncan, a noted attorney of Indianapolis,wiil be employed to aid the defense. Many of the Odd Fellows in Blooicington will remember Mr. Hogate as Past Grand Master of the state. From Danville we drove to Belleville the scene of the homicide. On our way we passed the homes of several of Hinshaw' active supporters, and amo; g them was a woman who sent the prisoner a feather bed for his cell. On this same road is the childhood home of Miss Vandergrift who afte wards married the famous novelist, Ro bert Louis Stevenson. We arrived in Belleville and went direct to the Hinshaw residence, where the various points were pointed out. We have talked with those in Belleville, who believe him guilty and who advance their theories with a firmness born of conviction. We have talked with those who be lieve him innocent and they advance their theories with all the evidences of certainty. These theories were- presented in the Cincinnati Enquirer write up, which was afterwards reproduced in the columns of The World-Courier. Rev. Hinshaw stated to us Hat the Enquirer article was the fairest and best one that had been written. He does not think the press has tieated him fairly and spsaks his opinion freely on this subject. I came to my boyhood home to see myvparenta and old friends, to eat chicken aud to sleep, and not on a newspaper tour and hence will, not, onfcthis occasion, go into extended detail. Col. Spencer was commissioned by the CourierJournal to thoroughly investigate the subject and report accordingly. He came upon the ground without prejudice or preconceived notioi.s as to his guilt or innocence. His long experience as a reporter, detective and court official render his private opinion very valuable. He will finish his investigations this afternoon. Ho has requested me to say nothing about the amount of good things . he ate for supper and as it is always embarassing for me to tell tales on a man that eats more than a whole chicken, seven pieces of bread, four cups of coffee, one cantelope, one gallon of cider, and other things in proportion. I will obey his instructions and not tell the exact amount. J. W. C. Miss Lillie Corr, the handsome and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C, N. Corr, is spending the week at Martinsville the guest of friends. Some lady astronomer has dis-1 covered that there is a woman and ! not a man in the moon that her profile can be plainly seen by the naked eye. She doesn't tell whether or not the aforesaid woman wears bloomers. Lindley has just received fresh supply of Kilmer's Sv.im.. Root Remedies,
Of f for a Jaunt. Postmaster R. H. East and family have gone to Loader's. Mill, in Lawrence county, fdr? 4 week.'s quiet recreation. Lowderfc Jtill is a mm lvtie retreat in a peaceful dale Hnr muled by abundant shade and abounding in crystal springs of cooling waters. Mr. Lowder, the proprietor, is a brother of Dr. L. T. Lowder, of this city, and is a man possessed of all the earth's abundance that goes to make this life worth the existing. Postmaster East has attended with unusual diligence to the arduous duties of his office, and since to those only who labor hard is rest a pleasure, we predict that our genial post master's brief outing tour will prove of the utmost benefit to both himself and charming family.

Mr, Frank Johnson, living south of the city, has completed an interesting tract of several pages dealing with the relation of religion to the tobacco habit and other kindred topics. Mr. Johnson is the author of reveral pamphlet of a religious nature. The book is being printed by Cravens Bros. The Knight? of Pythias had a good time last night. The degree of Sir Knight was conferred by the Stinesville team upon Dr. Homer Strain, Frank Dunn and Robert G. Miller. Knights to the number of 46 came down on the afternoon train aud spent the evening taking i the sights until lodge hour. The team did good work and were pleased with their reception. Punch was served to the brethren in great abundance during the evening.The visitors were entertained at Hotel Gentry by the members of the local lodge. Much of the success of this gathering of Knights was due largely to the efforts of G. DThornton, W. E. Adkins and Dr. G. B. Harris, the entertainment committees of the local lodge. George W. Matson, a well known and highly respected citizen of Ellettsville, died yesterday from the effect of cancer of the throat. Deceased was sixty years of age and has lived for years at Ellettsville.

HOVERING-
RETWEEN LIPY AND DEATH The Death Angel Ready -to Complete the Work of Cruel Knlvee. William Deck, who with David Cullross fought a bloody midnight duel at Stinesville, Thursday night with knives is hovering between life and death. He received terrible wounds and the chances are that death's grim hand will snatch the last remaining spark of life. He has been suffering terrible agony and together with the amount of blood that issued from the wounds, it is almost enough to kill any ordinary man. Cullross is not improving as was expected. The wounds about the head are very severe and considered dangerous though not necessarily fatal. Both men up to the time of the difficulty have borne good reputations, though when drinking would sometimes grow quarrelsome. Prosecutor Edmondson will cause Cullross' arrest when he is able to leave his bed. HINDOSTAN. Hindostan, Ind. Aug. 12 1895.
