A F&rn Hud Who ][&ke«tWtf With Some Property.

Some two weeka and over ago calling himself James D. Thompson applied for work at the farm of John Maxwell, four miles south of Lock port. "He claimed to have been husking corn over in the vicinity of Frairieton and said hit home was near Pittsburg, Pa. Needing another man to help him gather hia corn Mr. Maxwell hired him. Last Sunday evening Mr. M.'s family went to church. When they came home they found that tbis man Thompson, and another who was working there, were not on £he premises but were off on horseback", as two horses were missing from tbestable. They came back a little oefore midnight and started to go to bed.: Thompson, when he had nearly reached bis room, said to his companion*hat he would go down into the kitchen to get something to eat. This is tlrtrlast that has been seen of him, and the last also that has been seen ofaeveral articles of wearing apparel. Postal cards have been sent out by Sheriff Cleary bearing the following pjinted matter and tell the story of hia thefts:

.Robbed.

Froin "Friday's Daily.

Last night a man named Archer, a business man of Marshall, 111., was robbed ol a watch worth about $40 «nd about $25 in money near the Union depot. Archer was drunk and could give no definite account of the robbery. Three men were arrested on suspicion of the theit. Another got away. Two ot those arrested were subsequently discharged and the third, a man nimed Donaghuc, was still in jail this afternoon. Depot Officer Joe Kunz and others put Archer to bed last night at Stack's hotel near -the Union depot. This morning be began bowling up again and could not truthfully be termed the soberest man in town. Chief Fasig wanted him to remain her until the poiice could more thoroughly investigate his c&se, but he said be didn't want his bame to get in the papers that he didn't care mueli for his watch or the money anyway and he guessed he'd go home, which he probably did this afternoon. The man in jail may be guilty or may not be guilty, but will of coarse be discharged, as nothing can be done with him on account of Archer's unwillingness to have anything done with the ease. S'tji

Ki Sayi H* Intends to Bomim Anderaon Alwaya,

He Identifier Some of the Artidea in Mnwia' Trunk as His Mother's Property.

From the Anderson Star.

According to the annoancement made in Saturday's Star Jasper Nelson arrived in Anderson Saturday night. Tbis morning the Star reporter met him in Crickenbarger's court and had a long conversation with him. He denies emphatically the story of the visions on the steamer cominc from Cape Girardeau. He never had aby visions, but at Terre Haute be •was crazy from drink and excitement, and was liable to say anything. Jasper looks thinner than when he was last in Anderson and his hair is thickly streaked with gray. "I have come here," said he, "without the least evidence against me, and the prosecutor at Terre Haute told me there was r.ot the least evidence against me. I can show my affidavits ot responsible people where 1 was every day from the 20th uf October until I was arrested. Had I known that my mother was murdered I would have been here as fast as the train could bring me." "You will appear as a witness against Manisf' asked the reporter. "Yes, to identify the jewelry, but don't want to say too much about that now. "You think Mania guilty

"Yes, I do, he had mother's confidence and she would go any place with him. I have come back here to stay until this thins is ended and to help work the case. I will never take another drink ol whisky as long as 1 live, and will redeem myself with the people of Anderson."

IDEHTIKYING MORE GOODS.

The truak which was taken from the home of Perry Mania some time ago on a search warrant has been in Justice Trueblood's office, being held on an execution ordered by Maggie Moore, who obtained judgment against Manis for $15 for money loaned him. The reporter asked Jasper if he hud examined the contents of tnis trunk. His answer was that he had not and Constable Dehority, who holds tie key to the trunk, kindly consented to open it and lay the contents before Jasper and the Star reporter.

T*B TARN PULSE WARMERS. Three pair of' fancy colored pulse warmers were handed to Jasper who at once said: "She had a lot of these things and these are some of her stock. I can swear to them. I have seen them so often that

cannot be mistaken." THE CLOTHES BRUSH.

The reporter picked up a cheap wooden clothes brush1and before he could hand it to Nelson he cried out: "That's my brush.. I can swear to it. Look and see if there are not some pencil marks made around the edges of it on the underside of the.top, 1 had two ot them and have the bill now irom the house I bought them of. I gave mother that brush. Look for the pencil marks."

The reporter examined the brush and iound that a heavy pencil mark bad been drawn around the entire underside close to the bristles. The finding of this brush and the marks on it appeared to excite Jasper considerable.

THE FATAT. HANDKERCHIEF. Am&Dg the articles in the trunk was a cheap imitation silk haudkerchief of a cream color with red borders. It was a new one. This was handed Jasper who quietly remarked "That is my mother's handkerchief. I gave it to her. And here is one just like it." He took a soiled and diity handkerchief from his pocket and compared the two. They were identical except tbat one was dirty while the other was cleun. Two linen handkerchiefs he identified as being bis mother's and mentioned several other articles as being identical with oiie3 he knew to be in her possession.. A package ol writing paper and envelopes and a bundle of lead pencils and pen holders were similar to pome she had when he saw her last. Apiece of a silver watch chain he emphatically diclared was her property." rv*j

V: MAMIS'STRANGE ACTIONS.

He Hides His Face From Visitors. Yesterday a party of half a dozen persons, curious to see Perry Manis. called at the jaH. When he heard them coining he covered his face with his hands aud kept it hid daring all the time they were there. They endeavored, to talk to him. but he made no answer though some of them even entered his cell. He acts that strangely to every person who calls, and seems to be afraid that some one may identify him. It is believed he is breaking down, and under the strong case there* is against hiui it would not be surprising if he would utterly gto way belore long and make a confession. The consciousness of liis guilt and his fcar of visitors are thought to be closely allied.

A TEI.E6KAM KRoM (»BI RK. Ed Vandever this morning received the following telegram from Marshal Coburn, of Anderson. It no doubt has reference to the identifications 'mentioned in the article from the Stir: "I found brush and watch chain in Mani/truak, which we can identify."

Capt Hook.

A friend of Capt. Hook states that he is somewhat improved in his condition, but that he is by nr. means past the danfer line yet.

PERRJ^MANIS.

As Interview With Criminal Proseenter

8heltoo,

Who Thinks There Can Be Ho Doubt That he is the Guilty Party-

A Strong Chain of Eyi donee Wound Around the Imprisoned "Preacher."

From Monday's Daily.

"An indictment will be returned against Perrj Manis for the murder of Mrs. Nelson as soon as it can be prepared" said Prosecutor Shelton this morning. "What is your opinion of the case*" was asked.

In his official capacity as Prosecutor, Judge Shelten has necessarily heard all the evidence adduccd by the grand jury, having, in fact, conducted the examination himself, so that his opinion in the present matter is invaluable. "There is not the least question in my mind of his guilt. He may be the sole murderer. The case against him is about as-strong as circumstantial evidence can make-it. Articles identified as being in the murdered woman's possession when she was last seen alive Manis had when he turned up again at Anderson after leaving for Indianapolis on the same train Mrs. Nelson did. The evidence before the grand jury was convincing on that (question." •'How about the anticipated troubla in regard to proving the identity of the remains v" "There will be no trouble. In addition to the policy that was found and the set of false teeth which Dr. Ried, of Anderson, identified as a set he made for Mrs. Nelson, there is another point which only lateiy has developed. Mrs. Jones, the woman now living in the house which Mrs. Nelson formerly occupied at Anderson, rented the house of her the day' before Mrs. Nelson left. She remembers the kind ot dress Mrs. Nelson wore for a veiy good reason. Mrs. Nelson made some secresy of. her departure because she was afraid a certain lawyer at Anderson would attach her goods. She said the debt was not good and she wasn't going to pay it That's what she told Mrs. Jones. Having sent her baggage

ahead of her to the depot by a

drayman, Mrs. Nelson put on a peculiar dress—peculiar to people who were go-ing-traveling, and went to the depot by an unfrequented route. The dress found with the remains was identified by Mrs. Jones as the same one Mrs. Nfelson put on the day she left for the train.

Is there anything certain that Manis and Mrs. Nelson did leave on the same train?"

There was a witness whose name I do not recollect Who saw Manis gutting on the train at Anderson. He did not know Manis at that time. Some one said Look, there is that preacher and Le looked and it was the' same man he afterwards saw on the 11th, and that was Manis. I am assured by Mr. Eelley, who has jnst returned from Ander son, that Secretary ol State Myers, who was on the same train, says he saw Manis and Mrs. Nelson on that train, but not in the same cars. Nothing has been shown of the whereabouts of Mrs. Nelson after that." "What is your theory about where the murder itself occurred "Without evidence as to the fact, the law presumes that the murder occurred where the body was found. Mrs, Nelson had told several parvus, so it was testified to, that she intended coming to either Indianapolis or Tern: Haute with a man and start up in "business." The bubiness referred to was an assignation house. The "man," while she did not say who he was, was generally rupposed to be Manis. It may have been that Manis led Mrs. Nelson to believe that St. Mary's was Terre Haute, and they got off there. Mrs. Nelson was a weman who could not see more than a few feet away. Her trunk has never been found. There are some witnesses who swear the trunk Mhnis brought back with him wss Mrs. Nelson's, while others say they do not believe it is. The evidence in that point is not clear." 'How about the articles you say witnesses have identified as belonging to

Mrs. Nelson?" "Angie Conners, a girl whom Manis met at a camp meeting while be was preaching and whom he was trying to scduce, was given a pair of bracelets by him when he got back after his trip. He left Anderson on the 6th and returned on the 10th, so the murder was committed lietween those two dates. He told Angie, who is a nice respectable girl, two different stories as to how he got the bracelets. The bracelets were of an old pattern tbat when once seen could be easily identified. They were found in Angie's possession and have been identified as belonging to Mrs. 2\f-lson. Angie swears that Manis gave them to her when ne got back from Indianapolis."

On the shawl question, the evidence is similarly explicit," said Judge Shelton. Frank Robinson, the boy witness, a a cousin ot Manis, and a bright little fellow, swears that he was present when Perry, immediately atter his return from Indianapolis, presented his mother with a shawl which he took from his trunk. For some reason she did not take it. In the meantime Manis bad bought a horse and buggy and he remarked, when his mother did not take it, that it would do for a lap robe. It must be remembered that when Manis left Anderson he was hard up for money. When he came back he showed a pile ot bills which he sajd contained $600. There are any number of witnesses who will swear to tbat. There can be no trouble on that score. When he returned, he began spending some ef his money on Cootie McGrifT, the witness we bad here.

gMj-miluiUMki

She had formerly lived at Mrs. Nelson's. He took her baggy riding. She noticed the shawl Manis waa uting as a lap robe. She plagued him about having Mia. Nelson's shawl, and he taid it wae good enough for him—a preacher. This same shawl has been identified by more than one witness as belonging to Mrs. Nelson and, moreover, as being the identical one she had on when she got on the train, as two witnesses named Isaac Commons and Sam Cook, of Anderson, swear. This shawl is now in the possession of the state. Another woman named Mrs. Murphy, or Martha Kissinger, as she is also known, identifies a neck chain given by Manis .to a child of Dave Antrim's, as one which had been stolen from her and sold to Mrs. Nelson. Prank Robinson, the boy witness, swears that he was present at a time after Manis returned from his trip, when Perry gave his father and mother each $20. "There was a lot of other things Mrs. Nelson had in her trunk when she left there that Manis had when he returned "What does Manis say "He won't say anything, and hasn't since he has been here." ''ALL DOUBTS BANISHED."

From the Andenon Star.

The testimony before the grand jury at Terre Haute was of the most damaging character against him,

and

witnesses

who would tell nothing before, opened their mouths and testified in a manner that banished all doubts as to the iden* tity of the murderer. The greater portion of the witnesses have arrived home.

J. Daniels stated tbis morning that until .now he always bad some doubts of Manis guilt, but since hearing the testimony at Terre Haute be is satisfied that Perry Manis has had a hand in the horribledeed.

A Big

Saturday's Bally.'

To-day®. V. Marshall, Marian C. Taell and Wm. M. Tuell, joint-adminis-trators of the estate of the late William B. Tuell, furnished bond in the sum of half a million dollars, the bondsmen being W. R. McKeen, Herman Hulman, John G. Williams and John S. Beach. The papers give the value of Mr. Tuell's personal property at $350,000 and the law requires the bond to be twiae that sum. Trfe bond is the largest that has been given in this county for years, probably since the death of Chauncey Rose.

Scalded.

Frea Saturday's

i)aily

Yesterday afternoon Lawrence Riley, a young son of Mrs. John Riley, of the northeast corner of First and Wilson streets, waa probably fatally scalded at the distillery* Young Riley, who was in tbe employ of ?raak Prox, the tionei, learning the trade, was assisting a son ol Officer Burke, also with Prox, in making som repaiis at the distillery. Young Riley was standing in front of a steam escape and a distillery emyloye, not aware of his presence at tbat place, turned on the steam, which poured out on the unfortunate youth until the flesh on his chest and other portions of the body was literally cooked.* The boy was removed to the home of his mother near by and medical assistance summoned. His recovery is very doubtful. He was a good boy and a valuable help to a poor, widowed mother, on whom the affliction falls hard.

FUftNAQf FIRE.

The Bufldiags at the GtawM Fnrnaoe, Gadsden. Ala., Bunted.

From Menday's Daily.

A telegram was received in the city yesterday by Mrs. A. J. Crawford from her husband who is now at Gadsden, Ala., announcing the destruction of a portion of the buildings belonging to Mr. C.'s blast furnace at that place. The fire occurred Sunday night and the buildings burned were the engine house and the "past house." as the building ia called, into which the iron pigs are run from the furnace and formed. These buildings were built of the light pine wood which abounds in that section and being thoroughly seasoned by the hot' air of the furnace, once being on tire, burned like so much tinder. As a protection against fire the furnace has a tank which holds one million gallons of water and there is a force pump of great'1 power on the premises, but it is probable nothing could stay the flames. The furnace will keep right on making iron and these two buildings will be replaced at ouce. The exteut of the loss and whether or not there is any insurai.ee is not known here nor iait known how the fire originated.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.

A Couple Harried at the Jail This Afternoon.

From Wednesday's Sally.

This afternoon at 3:15 a novel ceremony for the place—a marriage—occurred at the county jail in the presenee. of tbe "high" contracting parties Jus-., tioe Lockmao, tbe master of ceremonies a Gazette reporter, who was present to. duly chronicle the affair, and A. J. Kelley, the attorney for the two victims, and the maker of the match.

Edward McGraw and Sarah Williamson have been in jail foT the last sixty days on a grand jury indictment for living togethei in fornication every time Kelieywtnt down to see Jasper Nelson/ at the jail the fair prisoner sent for him and poured into bis unwilling ear a tale of her woes and, finally, Kelley was driven into the sug-

that a good way to get out of tbe ifflculty, a penitentiary offense, would be lor them to get married. The fair prisoner wilted ditto, the groom. Both said they had been thinking on it for two years. Kelley saw Prosecutor Shelton, and he gave his assent to their discharge when the nuptial knot was tied.

So, all arrangements being completed for the event, including a marriage license all cocked and primed which the county clerk bad kindly issued for nothing, the ceremony oame off, as per' contract, and there were no cards.

When Sarah came down from top, cell attired in a faded shawl and a blue hair ribbon and met Edward, in a large Mexican ranger hat, she remarked that he looked thin. Sarah has a defect in one of her eyes, and when she talked thusly to the groom the jailor, standing hard by, thought she was speaking to: him. She brushed ol Edward's coat and theu twisted him around, and theyr kissed. The prisoners were on to it and one of them bawled out: "Keep still np there,—you! They're about to get hitched la a few moments the ceromony #as performed. Edward and Marah again kissed. Then they were put back in their oells until the order -of dischargal could be sent down.

In Boots and Shoes, Clothing and Notions, Tin Ware, Glass Ware, Healing

Stoves, Et$.*

At 204 Main street has lately been opened up a big stock ot boots and shoes, clothing, ^notioqs, tinware, glassware/ heating stoves, counters, shelving, show cases and many other article?. There are theedds and ends of several stocks of goods which the owner must get rid ot between the present'time and the 1st ot January. He has no option about it.
