Details'Of the Killing of I. S. White by Sam
ueI Jackson.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, May G.-Further details concerning
the murder of T.. S. White by Samuel jackson,
which occurred in this county on yesterday even
ing, are to the following effect, as related by
jackson himself, he and several members of his
family having been the only witnesses to
the tragedy: When the two men arrived from
Lena at Jackson's house. White made indecent
proposals involving the honor of Jackson's
daughter, and said he was going into the house,
jackson told him he should not go in, and in
formed him If he did he would kill him. Talk
in this strain continued until jackson got upon
his doorstep, when, according to Jackson's
story, White fired two shots at
him, when jackson reached inside
his door, took down Il gun, and shot White, killing
him instantly, the ball passing through his breast
and probably through his heart. A revolver was
found in Whites pocket with all the chambers
empty. White was a married man, and Jack
sons daughter is a widow, said to be OF rather
attractive appearance. 1t is rumored in the
neighborhood that improper relations have sub
sisted between them, and this was doubtless the
source from which the trouble grew. Jackson
made no attempt to escape, but gave himself up
voluntarily and was taken to the Terre Haute
Jail for lodgment, the jail at this place having
recently been destroyed by fire.

Barn Burned by Incendiaries.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNcIE, May 6-About 1 o'clock this morn
ing the frame barn of Mr.. George Cecil, eight
miles southeast of this city, was discovered on
fire, but not until it was too late to save any
thing except the horses stabbed therein The
barn was well filed with hay and grain, besides
many of the very latest and most improved farm
implements, all of which were totally destroyed.
The loss is estimated at s., 1000, insured in the
Northwestern and Chicago for 1850. The burn
ing was plainly the work of an incendiary, as
none of the family had been about the building
since early in the evening.

Presbyterian semi-CentenniaI,

Correspondence Of the indianapolis journal.
SOUTH BEND, May 5.-This busy city is
well and widely known for its great man
ufacturing interests; but it is a city of
churches, also. One of these, the First
Presbyterian, has been prominently before the
public for a few days. Fifty years ago last Sat
urday it was organized, in the back room of a
store, and after many vicissitudes and migra-
lions it has reached, and is celebrating with
much joy, its semi-centennial. The present pas
tor, Rev. Geo. T. Keller, with the assistance Of
able and willing committees. prepared a rich
programme. The ladies, with accustomed skill,
had decorated the church with foliage plants,
and ferns, and flowers and evergreens. Each win
dow ledge was transformed into a floral bank
An ancient chandelier with four candles hung
over the reading desk. 1t had been rum
mayed out of some garnet, and was used
in the first church built in South Bend. Satur-
day afternoon the memorial services began with
the communion, administered by two of the
former pastors, aided by Rev. E. Barr. of Elk
hart. In the evening Hon. A, Anderson fitting
ly gave tributes to the memory of many of the
early citizens and gave many interesting remi-
niscences of the old days. Mr.. Elmer Crockett
Alfred Bryant. Rev. Geo. L. Keller read q pa
per on the early church work, prepared by DR..
Hordman, a Methodist brother who was present
at the organization of the church. Mrs. Phebe
A.. Chaplin, one of the earliest members of the
church, was also present, and out of her sug-
gestion this memorial service has grown.
On the Sabbath. Notwithstanding the rain,
the church was crowded at three different serv-
ices. OF the eleven pastors Of the
church three are known to be
dead. Three Of the former pastors
were present: Rev. A. Y. Moore, of Meta. Ind,
Rev. Walter Forsyth, of Englewood, ILL.,, and
Rev. H. NJ. Morey, Of Indianapolis. In the
morning Mr.. Forsyth gave an historical discourse.
In the afternoon there was an interesting Sab
bath-sehool meeting, and in the evening the
church was again crowded to listen to the rem
iniscences of the three former pastors. Several
papers had been prepared upon the other pastor
ates, but were not read for lack Of time. They
will be published. The celebration concluded
with a banquet at the new skating rink tonight,
at which the former pastors and the ministers of
the city, and A. B. Miller, of the Tribune, and
Hon. John Brownfeld, and Hon. Schuyler Col
fax responded to toasts.

The Overwise Farmer.
The American Dairyman.

The farmer who is hardest to convince of his
errors is the one who possesses a single instance
within his own experience with which to com
bat your arguments. If you maintain that
Jerseys are good butter cows, he once knew one
that could not make a pound of butter. If you
hold that roots are good for dairy COWS, he once
knew one to get choked to death on them. His
one swallow always makes a summer: and he
forgets that though experience is a good teacher,
it should be the experience of many who have
tried several ways, rather than the experience of
one, that always creates but a limited knowledge.
The good book tells us not to be overwise in
our own Judgment. This should especially be
the case in matters pertaining to farming, where
every mans experience is so varied in different
seasons. Their there are so many conflicting
elements about farming, and especially that
most tickle of all things, the weather, makes or
mars a thousand fortunes every year, and no.
where is she more potent than on the farm.

Mr.. Hurtch Pleads Guilty.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, May 6.-H. ". Burtch, the editor
Of the Indianapolis Greenback paper, The Dawn,
who was put under arrest a fortnight or two ago
for too freely adjoining his commercial paper
with the names of his Greenback brethren, and
has ever since lain in jail here, unable to give
bail, now gives the town a surprise by with
drawing the plea of not guilty, entered last
week, and putting in one of guilty. He does
this on the advice of his attorneys and in the
hope of a light sentence. TIL hope goes not
untulflled. In consideration of Burtch's youth,
Judge Kibbey let him off with the lightest pun
ishment that the law aIlows-a fine of $40 and a
two years term in the penitentiary.

A BRITISH POLITICAL SENSATION.
The Facts About the Quarrel Between Lord
Churchill and the Marquis of Salisbury.

Churchill and the Marquis of Salisbury.
LONDON, May 6--The sensation caused by the
withdrawal of Lord Randolph Churchill contin-
ues. The facts regarding the difficulty are now
learned to have been as follows; Churchill,
after becoming chairman of the Conservative
Union Association, sighted and ignored the Mar
quis of Salisbury's central Conservative COM
mittee. He claimed the council of the union had
control of the entire Conservative party, and
that it had become a caucus. He appointed an
executive committee, consisting of himself, Mr..
Gorst and Sir Henry DrummoId Wolff. The
association. however. adopted a resolution that
the council and central committee should work
in harmony. Churchill, looking upon this as a
vote of censure, retired from the association.
The correspondence between Churchill and Sails
bury is so acrimonious that a reconciliation is

ing is everywhere now expressed that the

hour is confidently regarded as
