HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
One of the Most OOId-BIOOded and AtrociOus
Deeds Ever Committed.

Special to the indianapolis journal.
MOUNT VERNON, Jan. 25.-The crime for which
young Anderson and Snyder We're hanged was
one of peculiar atrocity. On Friday, the 18th of
last August, they by appointment met their in
tended victim, James Van Weyer, near a hominy
MILL at the eastern end of the wharf leading
from the Ohio river to Water street, in Mount
Vernon. Anderson and Snyder had agreed upon
the plan Of murder the previous night the mo
tive being to secure small sum of money, SIS
which they knew Van Weyerto have saved from
his earnings. When the latter arr;'-~1 he found
the two boys awaiting him, and in the course of
conversation the fact leaked out that he did not
have the money upon his person, but had depos
tied it for safekeeping with clerk employed in
the store of Rosenbaum & Bro. merchants of the
place. What representations were made or
what inducements were held out is not known
but as a result of the talk Van Weyer presented
himself at the store, drew the money, and soon
reioined the others, the three then proceeding to
gether to the spot selected for the murder The
place chosen was on the bank of the river about
a mile east of town. Arrived there, Anderson
proposed bath in the river, to which Van
Weyer at first assented, but, as Snyder said in
MS eonleSsiohi nc lnusO nave suSpeV'eu uhdu lhe
intention was to rob or harm him. for he stead
fastly refused to go in with them His compan-
ious. however disrobed and were soon sporting
in the waters, and bantering Van Weyer to join
them. Failing in this they were not long in
emerging and after dressing, Snyder proposed
that Anderson and Van Weyer should engage in
friendly boxing bout to test their proficiency
in the ''manly art, which was readily agreed to.
While they were thus engaged, Snyder, who was
older and more powerful than either of the
others, picked up club and struck Van Weyer

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-It was evident soma
days ago that the Senate finance committee
could not come to anything like unanimous de-
cision regarding bank bill The Mcpherson
bill reported to-day was brought out of the COM
mittee by bare majority, the vote standing
to 8. The affirmative vote was cast by five Dem.
ocratic senators and by Senator Sherman But
1t should be noted that some of the senators who
voted in the affirmative are not strongly welded
to the Mcpherson BILL and they voted in
favor of reporting it because they
were opposed to the other bills dis
cussed by the committee and because
they desired to dispose of the subject in the com
mittee, and bring it before the Senate withous
delay 1t should be said however, that it has
for some time been the opinion of many careful
observers and inquirers, both in and out of Con-
gress, that the only plan for relieving the banks
which is at all likely to pass both houses this
session is that embodied in the Mcpherson bin.
But it is at present impossible to predict with
any certainty the outcome of the discussion in
the Senate
The Mcpherson bill provides that upon the de-
posit of the bonds required by law any banking
association shall be entitled to receive from the
Comptroller of the Currency circulating notes not
exceeding the amount of the par value of the
bonds deposited, provided that at time shall

How the Alliance Is Regarded by the Col
ored People of the District.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The marriage of Fred.
Douglass and the white lady was the topic of
general discussion to-day among all classes,
the evening papers publishing inter
views with a number of leading col
ored men on the marriage from which it an
pears that the alliance is variously regarded
One colored man expresses the opinion that the
marriage is disgraceful, and reflection upon
the colored women of the district as by this act
Douglass in effect says woman of his race is
fit to be his wife. Elk Congressman Rainey is
not surprised at Douglass's selection. as he has
always believed in broad humanity and ignored
race distinction. Rainey does not believe the
effect ofDouglass's marriage will initiate against
his influence and leadership with the colored
people.
The groom is sixty-sx and the bride thirty
three years of age. Mrs Douglass is said to be
very handsome and peculiarly white She is a
member of the Woman Suffrage Association,
and has been contributor to Mrs Winslow's pub
Geation known as the Alpha. The marriage took
place at the Congregational Church, the cere-
mony being performed by the Rev DR.. G1imke,
pastor of the Fifteenth-street colored church.
There were but two witnesses present, and Mr..
Douglass's daughter, it is said, did not know of
the affair at a late hour this afternoon. Imme-
dttey after the wedding the newly married
couple repaired to the grooms residence in West
Washington.
The young lady is quite attractive. She has
heavy black curly hair 1t has been known for
six months that Mr.. Douglass was very attentive
