CUT HIS THROAT.

sad Ending of Wen-TO-Do Farmer.
Special TO the Sentinel:
URBANA, Ind, May 3-Saturday morning
Joe Engard, a well-to-do farmer, living four
miles east of here, remarked to his family that
he was going away to be gone all day and that
night, and If he didn't return they must not
be uneasy. He left. Night came on and he
did not come home; morning again came and
he did not show up. The family thinking that
all was not right they made search through
the different out-houses. Going over the hay
NOW in the barn they discovered the dead
body of Engard lying on the hay-mow, with
his throat cut from ear to ear, with a reZor
and bottle of laudanum lying close beside
him. He was temporarIIy insane.

The remainder OF the evidence is in accord
ance with the other testimony. The fact that
Clemetshaw had previously endeavored to OBJ
tain permission 10 view the body of deceased, !,
bringing note TO the Coroner from the Sher-
ms office, in which he was introduced SIS Mr..
watson, tended to discredit his testimony,
and the direct evidence of other eye-witnesses
ana the fact that De louDg's pistol was found
not TO have been discharged, decided the jury
10 attach no weight to his testimony; and,
atier a brief celebration, they returned a YER
dict charging Kalloch with murder. Clemet-
shaw explained his change of name by stat
Ing that he adopted the name of Watson as
matter of convenience, his true name being
difficult to pronounce.

estimated at 81 500, 600 900. Over 5000 fac
tories are engaged in the manufacture of
these articles, beside the tens of thousands

Western New. York has over forty

ened for time the entire Institution. The
hall was burned TO the ground and only the
walls left standing. II was built by the Ma

A thorough investigation is being made 10

clue to It's cause has as yet been obtained.
There is no insurance on the building or on
any of Its contents, some OF which
were taken out unlDjured, but large
amount OF relics, which were stored In the

the hags and uniform of General Thomas,

meeting of the Army OF the Cumberland at

The Profits of Kearney's Three Years Agi-
tation.
ISan Francisco Chronicle.l

ISan FRANCISCO chronicle.
The statement OF Kesrney's counsel that
he was unable to pay the fine of 81 600 was
not indorsed by Kearney himself at the
House of Correction, nor is it in accord with
authentic reports concerning the pecuniary
profit that his business of 'agi-
tating'' has brought him IN.
Before the late w. s. O. Brien died. acting
entirely independently of the firm, and
being enraged at an attack made upon HIM
by Kearney on the first flush of the lat
ter's prominence, he is said TO have dashed
off a check for $40, 900 for Kearney, saying.
''It's cheaper to buy the - - than
bother with him." Kearney received Sl5.-
600 during the Gubernatorial campaign for
keeping White in the field. He received
from $l5, 900 to $50 600 during the New Con-
stitution campaign for his apathy during the
last six weeks before the election. In fact,
as nearly as can be estimated, his pecuniary
profits are in the vicinity of $50 600. AT the
House of Correction, when asked if he were
able to pay his 81 900 fine, he answered
the six months which formed part of hls
sentence, and which began with his incsrcer-
ceration yesterday. can be enforced until the
fine is paid; and, as the collection OF the
amount must be by civil process, the exact
status of Kearney as a capitalist becomes an
interesting question. The certainty is,
however, that his profitable career during
the past three years will very well permis
him six months rest and retirement. As
soon as the weather permits resumption of
work on the road and at the quarry, Kear-
ney will be set at labor with the rest
