NI'DoNEL MUsT HANG.
The Supreme Court Afirms the Lower
Courts Finding, and the Fort Wayne
Murderer Must Die.

A decision was rendered by the Supreme Court
yesterday affirming the Judgment sen fencing
Samuel McDonel, the Fort Wayne murderer, to
be hanged. McDonel was indicted, on the 17Jh
of last April, for the murder of Louis Laurant,
and was tried during the following month. The
murder was committed for money. MeDonel
was convicted and the death sentence was i'm
posed. The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court on the ground that the verdict of the jury
was not sustained by the evidence. The ques-
lions involved in the decision of the Supreme
Court Judge Hammond deciding) are that a
motion to require the prosecuting attorney to
produce for the inspection of the defendant
certain articles. Will be overruled unless
accompanied by an affidavit showing that
they we're in the possession OF the State. aud
that their production is material to the defense.
(SectiOn 490, r. 81 One of the jurors, Bushing,
testified on his Voife dire that he was born in
Germany, had resided in this State for seventeen
years, and had taken out his first, but not his
second, naturalization papers. He was chal-
lenged on the ground of being an alien. Though
not a citizen of the United States, he was a citi-
zen Of this State. Q5 Ind, 449; 4S i'd. 327; 90
i'd, 507; 1G Wis, 469) The term alien, as used
in the statute, relates to one who is not a citizen
nor a voter of the State. Propfatt, Trial by
Jury, section 1l6J A witness for defendant tes-
titled that hi5 reputation for humanity and hon
esty was good in the neighborhood where he re-
sided. Upon cross-eXaminatinn, she was asked
a series of questions as to whether she had
heard certain rumOrs which, had she admitted
hearing them, would have weakened the force
of her evidence. The questions were relevant,
not to prove that the defendant was guilty Of
the offenses referred 20 in the questions, but
to elicit testimony which might affect the
witnesses credibllity. (Wllis's Cri. EY., l65, 81
Where one charged with a crime denies or gives
a false account of a circumstance or suspicious
fact tending to connect him with the offense,
such denial may be regarded as a criminal cir
cumstance proper to go to the jury. (Whart.
Grim. Ev, S76lJ All instruments by which an
offense is alleged to have been committed may
be Inspected by the jury. Q2l Mass SO; 35N.
y, 40; 6S N. c., 207l There was 10 error in
the Instructions, and the verdict cannot be dis
turbed upon the weight of evidence.
The evidence, the court concludes, is "cir-
cumstantial," but the circumstances are so
clearly proved, and point 80 conclnsively TO the
guilt of McDOnel, that there appears TO be no
ground for a reasonable doubt. The judgment,
therefore, is affirmed. McDonel will certainly
hang. according to sentence, on the 9th Of De-
kUber.

ROSH-HASHANAH
Celebration Among the Hebrews of the
Jewish New Year.

At 6 o'clock last evening the Jewish festival
of the Rosh-hashanah began, the Jewish New
Year, the first day of the month Tishri. Rosh-
hashanah literally "head-year'D began at sun
set yesterday, and lasts until sunset to-day. The
festival depends on the phases of the moon, as
all Hebrew months do, aud, being movable,
come on slightly varying calendar days. This
year IL is considerably later than last, and is the
5645th year in the age of the world. The day
was formerly much more rigidly kept than now,
the duties enjoined being a strict self-examina-
ton of all past conduct, preparatory to the Day
of AtOnement, which it antedates ten days, the
latter coming this year on Oct. 10. 1t is also
styled Yom Ha-din, the Day of Judgment,
as, according to the Hebrew faith, God
sits that day in Judgment through the conscience
in each Israelite's soul. Most of the Jewish
business houses closed at 6 P. NJ. yesterday, and
will remain closed till 6 P. NJ. to-day. Solemn
services were held last evening at the Market
street Temple, and will be held there this fore
noon. The remainder of the day will be given to
social calling and Interchange of courtesies, as a
great change has taken place in the manner of
keeping the day during the past few years, its
celebration being now more likeiOur New Years.
1t is now growing customary to give presents on
that day, and friends not only exchange social
cards in the same city, bnt the exchange is made
by mail from great distances, and some of these
cards, like the regulation New Years and Easter
cards, are very beautiful. After the Day of
Atonement (Oct. 10Y comes the celebration of
the Feast OF Booths, which is the Jewish harvest
home,

l.. o. o. f. GRAND LODGE.
Return of the Indiana Delegates from the
Recent Convocation at Providence.

John W. McQuiddy, of this city, who is the
grand marshal of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of
l. o. O.. F. has returned from Providence, r. l.,
where that body has been in session. The re-
representatives. of the Indiana Grand Lodge were
Hon. Will Cumback, of Greensburg, and Col. N.
P. Richmond, of KokomO. The representatives
of the grand encampment were Richard Berger,
of Muncie, and H. o. Heichert, of Frankfort.
AS the officers are only elected biennialfy and
the Sovereign Grand Lodge meets every year
no election took place this year and
new officers will be elected at the next
years meeting, which will be held at
Minneapolis. The meeting at Providence was
the first one of the Sovereign Grand Lodge that
has been held in New England since that held in
Boston nineteen years ago, and, with the single
exception of that held in Philadelphia, during
the centennial, the great procession was larger
than it has ever been, and the Indiana repre-
sentatives came back enthusiastic over the
affair and over their reception. The session was
a highly important one, matters of great mo-
ment being voted upon. The matter of the
Patriarchal Circle, an independent body,
claiming to be Odd-fellows, with a
series of degrees, came up for con-
sideration, and resolutions were adopted
that any Odd-fellow who shall hereafter retain
membership In, or become a member of any Sc
cret organization not subordinate to this grand
body, which shall have adopted or appropriated
to Its own use the uniform, regalia, emblems,
name, titles, notices or initials of this order, or
any part of them; or in which qualification for
membership is based upon the applicants
standing in this order; or in which the apnlt-
cant is required to obligate himself to prefer
said organization or any member thereof at the
expense of this order or any of its members
shall be guilty of conduct u~nbecoming an odd
fellow, and a grave offense against odd-fellow-
ship, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be ex-
PEELED.
Odd-fellowship differs from Masonry in that it
has one supreme head, from which all degrees
and branches must emanate. The Patriarchial
Circle had its origin in Milwaukee,. In Masonry
there is no lodge greater than the Grand Lodge
of the State, which is sovereign in itself. The
branches or Outgrowths of Masonry, the Knights
Templars and Scottish Rite are also independent
bodies. The Patriarchal Circle, intended to be
a higher order of Odd-fellowship and requiring
that applicants for membership shall have taken
the lodge and encampment degrees is irregular,
because it has not had its origin in the Sover-
eign Grand Lodge and the sanction of that body.
