THE HOT SEASON.
folIlvKR WENDELL HOLMES. !


The folks, that on the first of Nav
Wore Winter coats and hose,
Began TO say the first of June.
'EGood Loid! how hot 1t grows,"
At last Two Fshrenheits blew up, .4
And killed two children small
And one barometer shot dead
A tutor with its bali
Now all day long the locnsts sang
Among the lea1ess trees;
Three new hotels warped inside out
The pumps could only wheeEe.
And ripe old wine, that twenty years
Had cobwebbed DER in vain,
Came spouiing through the rotten corks,
Like.Jolys best Champagne,
The Woreest locomotives did
Their "trip in half an hour;
The Lowell cars ran forty miles
Before they checked the power;
Roll birthstone soon became drug.
And loco-iocos fell; -. .##I. I##H -45F#-.rs =
All asked for ice, bufeverywbere
Saltpetre was TO sell.
Plump men of mornings ordered tights,
But, ere the seorching p0ons,
Their candle-m olds had grown as loose
AS Cossack pantaloons,
The dogs ran mad-men could not try
If water they would choose;
A horse fell dead-he only left
-Four red-hot. rusty shoesl
B1f foon the people could not bear
The slightest hint of fire;
Allnsions to caloric drew
A h0od Of savage ire; .5.H.I
The leaves on heat were all torn ont
From every book at school,
And many blackguards kicked and caned,
Because they said, Keep tool,'
The gaslght companies were mobbed
The bakers all were shot,
The penny press began TO talk
Oflynching DIR. Mott;
And all about the warehouse steps
Were angry men in droves,
Crashing and splinterng through the doors
To smash the patent stoyesi
The abolition men and maids
Were tanned to such hue.
You scarce could tell them from their friends,
Unless their eyes were blue;
And, when | left, society
Had burst its ancient guards,
And Brattle street and Temple Place
Were nterchanging cards.

murdered Fora Burns. who is on his way
home from Lincoln, was seen tonight by
your correspondent Dir. Burns said the re-
port that his visit to Lincoln was TO see Nine.

after he arrived there; that when she pro-
posed to locate the sstchel and other missing
articles of Zoras for the sum of S25 he at once
branded her as a fraud lie positively as
serted that he was called to Lincoln By States
Attorney Forrest on very important BUSH
ness This he said. coupled with another
trip which Mr. Forrest had mapped out for
me, will beyond a doubt form quite an
important link in the chain of evidence
against Carpenter" When asked in regard
to his prospective trip he said he would
probably go South tomorrow. DuQuoin be-
ing his destination. There he had some very
important business to attend to, after which
he would return home and rest a week, and
then start out again. The worry and excite
ment has so wrought on the old man that
there are unnistakable signs OF mental as
well as physical weakness
The detectives who have been in this city
and vicinity the past two or three weeks
working OH the Fora Burns case still hold to
the theory that man accompanied Fora

THE NELSON MURDER.

The Circum stantiaI Evidence Against
Manis-The Accused Taken to Terre
Haute.
Special TO the Sentinel:
ANDERSON, Ind. Nov. ga new phase in
the Nelson murder case has presented itself
here to-day. Readers of the Sentinel will re-
member that Perry Manis, of this County,
was arrested and given ten days in the
County Jail for associating with prostitutes,
at the same time evidence was being gathered
connecting him with the horrible crime.
His sentence of ten days expired to-day. He
will be taken to Terre Haute TO night and
held to answer the charge of murder. MANS
has bad too much money and has not salts
factorily accounted for it. He has made
many conflicting statements i'm regard to it.
1t will be proven that he left here about the
same time Mrs. Nelson left. and
was seen at indianapolis the same day that
Mrs. Nelson was there. MANS has always
denied being in Terre Haute, but il can be
proven Manis was or familiar terms with a
woman OF questionable chastity at Terre
Haute. and that he has been there on differ
ent occasions Certain pieces of property
that Mrs. Nelson took away with her from
here can he identified as having been in the
possession of Manis after she was murdered.
That Manis knew all of Mrs. Nelson's ar.
engagements is evident and that she placed
implicit confidence in him in her business
transactions. 1t is alleged that reliable wit
ness will swear that he saw MANS with mora
than 5000 after Mrs Nelson was murdered.
There are many more items connecting
Manis with the affair but your correspond
ent is not at liberty to publish them. This
puts Jasper son of Mrs Nelson, in better
light. and it is not thought that his partial
confession was the result of suffering terri
BILE mental strains, verging on delirium tire
mems. 1t is great mystery, but the public
is confident proper and just solution will
vet ha reached

The Negroes Found, Upon Investigation, to
be the AggressOrs-A Free Ballot and a
Fair Count.
DANvILLE, Va, Nov. 2l.-The Committee
of forty appointed to investigate the facts
connected with the riots on the Sd inst, or
gained OH the 18th inst. and appointed
proper subcommittee. All persons having
information, relative to matters to be inves-
tigated. were publicly req uested to appear
before the sub-Com mittee and testify. The
sub Committee has regularly attended to its
duties from the morning OF the 18th to the
evening of the DIST. during which time
thirty-seyen witnesses were examined. 1t is
said the witnesses for the most part are
known to the Committee personally. and
represented all classes and vacations.
They are intelligent and thoroughly
reliable. The Committee makes a careful
and impartial review OF all the facts con-
nected with the riot. After speaking of the
ill-feeling existing between the blacks and
whites, the Committee states that the negroes
were the aggressors.
The report adds: Two days before the
election circulars signed by prominent citi-
zens and leaders of both particular parties
were issued guaranteeing that every person,
without regard to color or party, free and
undisturbed right of voting. No violence,
threat, or intimidation whatever was shown
toward the negro or coalition vote, but on
the contrary, such voters were repeatedly as
sured by citizens. policemen and military
officers sent to Danville by the Governor.
that they would be protected in the right to
vote as they chose. Election day was quiet
and without any disturbance or difficulty at
any Precinct or elsewhere in the town, and
the election was honestly conducted and free
and fair in all respects The negroes, as a
body. refrained from voting under advice
and command of their party leaders. while
others voted the coalition ticket without any
hindrance from any quarter.

of Portsmouth, at once said that the man
must have died instantaneously from a bali

Barrows was suspected, but tue local police
could do little toward solving the mystery.
Yesterday noon Detectives Virgins and

an interview with Mrs Barrows, lasting seven
hours. were rewarded with confession that
she had instigated the crime, and that her
son-in-law. Henry e. Blaney, had done the
shooting. Blaney was found by the detec-
