GENERAL SWAIM'S PUNiSHMENT.

Suspended From Rank and Duty for Twelve Years. WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—T President finally approved the findings of the court martial which tried Brigadier General Swaim. The verdict of court is that Swaim be suspended irom rank and duty lor twelve years,and forfeit half bis monthly pay during this period. This flnding, which the President has approved, was the third in this case.

The first verdict of the court suspended the accused frcm rank, duty and pay lor three years. The President sent this back as not commensurate with the offenses as found by the court. Upon consideration, the court revoked its former sentence and found as follows: "To be suspended from rank and duty tor one year with forfeiture ot all pay for the same period, and that at the end of thas period to be reduced to the grade oi judge advocate with the rank of mgor in the Judge Advocate General's Depaitment."

This second fioding the President acain returned disapproved, on the grounds that the sentence was not sufficiently severe also for the reason that to place the accused in a lower rank in the department in which the office now held by him is part, is impossible of enforcement by the Executive alone. With this criticism before them, the court martial lin-5-ly decided to suspend Swaim lor twelve years.

Mr. Arthur, while approving the senteace as the best of the three, says it difficult to understand how the' court could be willing to have Swaim retain.d as a pensioner upon the army regis'r while it expressed its sense ot his unfitness to perform the duties of his imprrtant office, in the two earlier sentenc e, under either of which he would have been deprived permanently of his lucctions. The twelve years' suspension dates beyond the time of Swaim'a retirement.

COLLISIONS.

A Freight Runs Into a Passenger Train. CHEBANSE, IH., Feb. 25.—A collieion between two passenger trains on the Illinois Central railroad occurred near here early this morning. One man was killed and eight or ten wounded, some oi them seriously, but none fatally.

The injured train was the New Orleans passenger hound south and was crashed into from the rear by a freight train. Two rear sleepers were demolished. One passenger named Mclnnis was instantly killed and several other passengers badly scalded. No cause lor the accident is stated but it is said the danger lights in the rear passenger had been allowed to go out.

EAHKAXBH, 111., Feb. 25.—At midnight last night, three miles south of Chebanse, on the Illinois Central road, two passenger trains were run it)to by a freight. The passenger leaving Chicago about 8 p.

M.

was being followed closely by the New Orleans express, the train consisting of a baggage, smoker, two coaches and four sleepers. The leading passen ger stopped on account oi a broken track. The New Orleans express stopped back half a mile, and sent out signals back to notify the approaching train. It then started up and almost reached the forward passenger train, still at a dead stop, when the freight came at full speed, breaking into the rear oi the sleeper, the engine reaching the middle of the rear sleeper, telescoping several oars and then crashing into the rear of the forward passenger. The wildest confusion at once ensued. The cries of the imprisoned victims rent the air. Ready hands chopped into the mass of debris, extricating the injured and caiiag for them as well as possible. The following is a list of the killed and injured: John A. Mclnnes, of Ingersoll Ontario, instantly killed, found in his berth in the last sleeper with his neck broken Alderman Gaynor, of Chicago, bruised across the chest, contusion on the back of the head, nose and about both eyes, right foot and right hip injured.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.—Two sates of the Adams Express Co., which were in the car burned at the recent collision at Four Mile Run, near this city, were opened in the office of the United States treasurer to-day and the charred money they contained is being examined by experts of the department. It La been shown that over $110,000 was in the safes, most of which has been identified and will be redeemed, so the loss to the express company will be trifling.

NORFOLK, Va., Feb. 25.—Fiie th^ morning destroyed Gwathmey's ware* house containing about 1,650 bales of cotton and Yaughan & Burnes warehouse containing 800 bales. The cotton in Gwathmey's warehouse was owned by Battle, Bunn & Co, Everett Bros. & Gibson and W. W. Gwathmey & Co. Loss on the building is estimated at $22,000 on cotton $125,000, all covered by insurance. The fire originated in Gwathmey's building and the sparks swept into Yaughan and Barnes building through the panes in the windows.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 25.—A fire among the tar barrels in the yard of the Philadelphia Gas Works on the east bank of the Schuylkill is causing alarm on account of the terrfic explosion which must follow if the flames reach the large gasnometef.

The Most Elogant*Knlghts 1 empfar Ban ner in the World.

In the window of the Buckcye Store, corner of Sixth and Main, there itf displayed the new banner of Terre Haute Commandcry No. 16 Knights Templar, which is as handsome a piece of work as ever put on a banner. It is in dimenbions fifty-five by thirty-five inches, and was made from the design selected by Sir Knights George Farnngton and J. W. Cruft, by the Pettibone manufacturing company of Cincinnati. The front of the banner is of the handsomest white banner silk, with cross and crown currounded by the words, "Be thou faithful unto death 1" and "I will give thee a crown of life." Below this "Terre Haute" and "Ind." in monogram, all of which is of hand-embroidery.

The back of the banner is upper half black and lower half white—tho colors of the order—with an embroidered red cross and bearing the name of the com* mandery. The white banner is trimmed with gold bullion and Point de Espague lace with gold bullion fringe, cord and tassels,

Tho banner was contracted for in October last and was received last Saturday. It is pronounced by judges to be the handsomest banner ever displayed in this city. It will repay the ladies to closely inspect the work thereon.

The setting to the banner in the window was done by Mr. Anderson of the Buckeye and reflects credit to his excellent taste in that line.

ROGERS' BOND.

The Bill to Release the Bondsmen Withdrawn.

Nearlv two weeks ago a bill waa introduced in the State Senate by Senator Hilligas, by request, to release the bondsmen of Newton Rogers, the defaulting treasurer of Vigo county, from loss on the bond. Tbe first part of last week Patrick Shannon spent in Indianapolis and it was presumed he was there working for the bill of which he would be the greatest benefiiciary. Saturday afternoon Judge C. F. McNutt, the able and indefatigable attorney of the county commissioners, determined to visit the Capital and inform the legislators of the true inwardness of the bill and prevent its passage by exposing its animus. Tbat he has done his woik well would appear frcm a despatch he sends to the GAZETTXE office dated at half past two o'clock this afternoon. That despatch is as follows and it call for congratulations:

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 23, 2:80 p. M—[Editor GAZETTK.] —The bill to release the bondsmen ot Newton Rogers was this minute withdrawn at the request of Senator Schloss. [Signed] C. F. MCNOTT.

It is to be understood that Philip Schloss, Senator from Vigo connty, was on the bond of Newton Rogers and s, therefore, personally and pecuniarily interested in the passage of this bill. What he was doing and would do 3bout it has been a matter of curiosity by many who were watching the proceedings. He has done the right and proper thing in asking to have it withdrawn. This Legislature of ours is going to acquit itself handsomely after all.

A SLICK SWINDLER.

Caught at Last—His Heart Broken

BOSTON, Feb. 25.—Judson Bitson from "the west" aged 22, was arrested here on a charge ot swindling. His plan was to run into the counting room of some large concern late in tbe afternoon and inquire in a brisk, business-like way if Mr. So and So's check would be good for $100. The cashier would reply in jthe affirms, tive. Ditson expressing thanks for tbe information would disappear and Boon after return and ask tbe additional favor that the check might be cashed as it was after bank hours. The money was fortbcoming. The qhecks were forged, Ditson was arrested yesterday. A few weeks ago he married a young lady of high social connections. He is himself of excellent social standing. His father is a government official of some prominence in tbe west. Ditson had a falling out with his father not long ago and being out of employment adopted the above method of raising money. He came on a tour to Boston with his' wife. She was heart-broken at the exposure.

That Knights Templar Banner. Everyone who passes tbe corfier of Sixth and Main streets stops to admire tbe beautiful banner made for Knights Templar Commandery No. 16, and which was quite fully described in the GAZETTE a few days 8go. Speculations as to its cost show great diversity of opinion. The guesses ran from $200 up to $1,000. The banner was made by the Pettibone Co. of Cincinnati for $250, a less sum than was cbargcd for one not so handsome sect to Omaha, but in their letter accompanying the bill the company stated tbat more work was done on the banner thau specified in the contract because tbey whhed to profit by the advertisement. •.

The Habeas Corpus Proceedings to be Heard To-morrow.

The Law on the Question of Confessions and When They are not Admiss ible.

From Tuesday's Daily-

Judge Mack called up the Nettie Trump murder case this morning and announced that he would set it down to be tried next Tuesday, March I

Mr. Harper, Mrs. Trump's attorney, objected, saying that he wanted a trial on habeas corpus for admission to bail.

The court said he would not hear evidence on habeas corpus except as to the question of tbe admissibility of the con fession. It was a question for the court to decide. If the confession was not admissible the case should be dismissed. If it waa admissible he thought aho ought not to be let to bail.

Mr. Harper said if the trial waa forced on him next week he would ask for a change of venue from the county because of a feeling in the community against the defendant. The law is in cases of murder in the first degree that a defendant by filing an affidavit is entitled to a change to another county.

The coart set down tho habeas corona proceedings tor trial next Thursday morning at 0 o'clock in the Superior court room.

The defense will seek to exclude the confession on the ground that it was made through fear produced by threats. The statute reads: "The confession of a defendant made under inducement, with all tbe circumstances, may be given in evidence against him, except when made under the influence of fear, produced by threats but a confession made under in ducement is not sufficient to warrant a conviction without corroborating testi mony." The defense claim they will be able to disclose a case that will come under this section. If they can it will end the case, as there is not sufficient testimony outside of Mrs. Trump's confession to hold her.

From Wednesday's Bally,

The habeas corpus prooeedings in the Nettie Trump murder case are set lor trial to morrow morning before Mack, who will use the Superior oourt room for that purpose, the Circuit eourt room being occupied in tbe trial of the Hudnut suit against tbe city. A great deal of interest is shown on the question of the admissibility of the confession, which the defense has raised and eocfl. dcntly hope to have decided in her favor on tbe ground that it was made through fear produced by threats. Judge Mack will only hear evidence as to the admissibility of the confession, and if he does not admit it into evidence the case against Mrs. Trump will undoubtedly be dismissed, as there is very little additional testimony against her. The pro ceedings will begin at 9 o'clock. Tbe defense claims they will be able to shew tbat the officers threatened the prisoner that she would be looked up unless she confessed,

Tbe law on this point will bo of interest. Moore's Criminal Law Tseotion 349) contains a careful exposition and summary of the law on tbe question of confessions. The section entire is as follows:

THE LAW ON CONFESSIONS. "A free and voluntary oonfessiou, made by a prisoner, without being infiuenoed by any promise, threat or fear, is of the highest order of evidence, even though the person making the confession is an infant. Confessions may be received, though induoed by deception practiced on the person or by false representations, if the inducement were not calculated to produce an untrue confession, or was obtained by a threat. But where at. attempt has been made, by exciting tbe fears of a prisoner, to procure him to make a ooniessien, and there is reason to presume the attempt had that effect, evidence of his confession is inadmissible. At common law, it was for the court to deoide whether tbe confession was admissible but row all confessions, save those produced by threats, are admissible. The words addressed to the accused must involve a threat, and the motive to confess produced thereby must be such as to operate on bis mind as to render it doubtful whether the confession is worthy of credit. Thus, it has been considered a threat to say to him: 'It would be worse for him if he did not confess,' or, -'Unless you give me a more satistactory account I will take you before a magistrate/ or, 'That unfortunate watch bas been found, and if you do not tell me who your partner was will oommit you to prison.' "But language of inducement is not a threat, as 'There is no use of deqying it, the gold nieces *havo been found where you passed tbem, and I ean prove it. and you had just better own up to it.' Confessions made by a prisoner after he bas been professionally advised of their effect are admissible in evidence against him. But evidence of confessions must be received with great caution. Whether any promise of favor, made by a person not havirg any authority so to do, can exclude confessions made by tbe defendant under a promise, or whether certain language used by such person is calculated to produce such 'undue influence' as would, in law, render confes* sions made under it exceptionable, is a question. The confessions of a party accused of crime, net made in open court or on examination before a magistrate, but to an individual, uncorroborated by circumstances inspiring beief in their trutb, arising out of the conduct of the accused, or otherwise^ without other proof, will not justify conviction."

The Annual Statement for 1884 Just Issued. Postmaster Jones bas just issued an annual statement, of tbe bueinesa ot bis office for the year 1884. it is the first document of the kind issued by tbe Terre Haute postoffice since 1879. It contains much valuable information.

The following items will be found interesting:

The total number of pieces delivered, was 2,389,466, while tbe pieces collected only amounted to 1,265,501, an excess ot over a million in favor of Terre Haute. lu the money order business, the excess was greatly in favoi of Terre Haute.

MBb. LACBA X. COX.

After a somewhat protracted illness Mrs. Lanra Elisabeth Cox died at her residence oa north Seventh street at one o'clock Sunday morning. She died of no complaint save the general debility whieh came with advanced age, for she would have been 75 years old had she lived until next week. She was born on the 11th of March, 1810, in Abegueveny, Wales, and in 1881 was married in Bristol, England. In 1832 «he came with her husband to this country rnd settled in Coshocton, Ohio, which was their home until 1844 when they moved to Cincinnati. At tbat place her husband engaged in mercantile pursuits and was a prosperous merchant and greatly respected citizen up to the time of his death in 1864. To. them dnring their married lite were born eleven children, of whom five survive: Robert S-, Mary, Benjamin, Blanche and David Cox. All are now residents ot Terre Hante and well known and highly esteemed. Her oldest son, Robert 8. Cox, came to Terre Haute in 1854 and shortly thereafter her second son Benjamin. Mrs. Cox and her remaining children continued to reside in Cinoinnati untit 1870 when they came to Terre Haute, which has since that time continued to be tbeir home. Though Terre Haute became her home late in lite, when new friendships can hardly be formed to take the place of old ones left behind, this kind and gentle old lady made many friends among the best people of the city. In the church to which she belonged and in the social circle, among her children and grand-children, wherever she was befit known, she was most beloved. The evening of her days was peaceful and pleasant and her death, when it came, was in the presence of those nearest and dearest and had no terrors for one who had lived out her allotted span of life and was ready to go to her inheritance beyond the skies. *RS. THQBSKAK.
