IThc murder with which Amiss stands

details as elected before the coroner's jury,
and from the statements OF the principal
witness to the chief OF police OF Staunton,
are briefly ds follows: Burner, who was
the agent OF an agriclIltural-implement
concern i'm Woodstock, was sitting reading
IN the room OF woman Of bad reputc
named Fanny Lewis, when Amlss, who
was a bagga9e-master on the Valley rail-
road, and friend Of the wOman's, came to
the door and demanded admittance. He
was refused, and, breaking open the door,
drew pistol. Burner knocked the pistol
down. A scuflle ensued, and the pistol vas
discharged, the bullet lodging in Burners
side. Alniss WAS In the act OF firing again,
when Burner begged him to desis,, stating
that he was already shot and did not wish
TO have difficulty in such place. Bur-
ner then walked TO his hotel, accompanied
By Leila Lester, another woman OF the
house, and died from the effects OF the
wound the next evening. Amiss was ar
rested at his room OH the night OF the shoot
ing and lodged in jail. Burner was mar
ried man and the father Of two children,
and prior to the shooting had borne IN
irreproachable reputation.]

Pleas for Divorce-On Trial for Perjury
Damage Suits.

In the damage suit of James f. Mann against
the Belt Railroad and Stockyard Company, the
motion of the defendants for new trial was
overruled yesterday by Judge Taylor. The jury

ment was awarded yesterday for that amount.

Robert Dawson, whose testimony is alleged to
have prevented Joe Martin from receiving a
long sentence to the penitentary for horse steal

while the testimony OF several other Witnesses
was directly at variance One important wit
ness wanted by the defense cannot be procured,
from the fact hat he is an inmate of the north
ern prison. The State will not allow his attend

defense is too poor to comply with the condition.

Indiana's Fish Supply-As to Propagation
and ProtectiOn-The Fish Commits
siOner's First Annual Report

The first annual report of Calvin Fletcher, the
State Fish Commissioner, was submitted to the
Governor yesterday. The advantages of the
State for the propagation of fish spoken Of
by Mr.. Fletcher, and the general interest which
is being taken in the matter is regarded as quite
encouraging. He estimates that there ara about
10000 miles of shore-iine water in Indiana
which is stocked with bass, eight varieties OF
trout, twenty kinds OF suckers, and fifteen kinds
of catfish. In the waters of the State there are
found 1856 different kinds OF fishes. Their
wholesale destruction by dynamite and the
practice of netting is severely condemned by
the Commissioner, and rigid pro-
lection is urged. The multiplication in the pro-
duction of fish is enormous. The roe of many
kinds exceed 100000 eggs, and the Commission
finds that one pair of black bass will propa-
gate stream of one hundred miles in extent in
two seasons; but to promote the success of this
wonderful feoundity the most careful protection
is necessary. There has been a remark
able Improvement and increase in the
propagation OF fish in the waters of the State.
rapidly than it would in the same waters fifty
years ago. In the protection and propagation of
fish, the Commissioner stated that he has been
given valuable assistance by the Governor and
fish associations. Only one-half of the $1,000 ap-
Precipitation has been expended, and goodst
of German carp has been distributed in the
waters of the State. Mr.. Fletcher offers his
private pond for the Of the State, as 1t would
be impossible to provide hatcheriss, with means
for transportation, for less than $4,000. The
1000 mora now in winter quarters, which are
available,

Bishop Talbot's Life Insurance.

The Madison Star says "We have known for
several years that the late Bishop Talbot had
his life insured for liberal amount, and we I'M
derstahd now that it was for $4,000 most of
which goes to the family of his brother Richard,
of indianapolis. Christ Church, OF Indianapolis,
voluntarily paid the premium Of $500 on this
life insurance policy for good while as a gift
to their loved Bishop. When Bishop Talbot
entered the ministry, he had handsome fortune,
but az he became absorbed In his work, his gen.
erous and omen handed impulses caused him to
exhaust his means in advancing the interests OF
his church. Several years before his death he
became fearful that his wife, although his senior
would outlive him and be left without means of
support, hence he took out the life insurance
policy mentioned, to place her beyond want II
abe should become his widow"
