TOLEDO'S TICHBORNE.
The Story of an English Bigamist as Told by
the Man Who Arrested Him.

TOLEDO, Nov 28-The trial Of Charles Nei-
viele, the alleged baronet, for bigamy, which
has been in progress during the present week.
was resumed this morning. after adjournment
from Wednesday The attendance was larger
than on the previous days of the trial In May
last Neivielle was married in this city, to a
daughter of G. J. Whitney, of Detroit and was
arrested at the instance of Mr. Whitney on
charge of bigamy, During the first two days
of the trial the prosecution presented evidence
of a former marriage by Neivielle, and three
ladies whom he is said to have married have been
presentin court while the trial has been going on.
In to-day's proceedings the detective who was in
charge of the prisoner at the time Of his arrest
last spring rehearsed the story of Nevele's life
as told by him at that time. He claimed to have
served in and been discharged from the British
army, and left England in consequence of
trouble with his mother; he came to this country
and travelled over Canada and the West; was
married in Newark, N j., under the name OF
George Perry, being drunk the night of the mar
riage He spoke of another marriage in the
State of New York. under the name of NewbOd.
He said his real name Sir Roger I'chborne
Nelvielle, and he was the owner of large estates
in England and Ireland.
This afternoon, defendant Neiveile, who is
indicted as George Robert Newbold, took the
stand. He was nervous and excited. He testi
fed to unimportant correspondence with man
in Newark, N. j., but would tell nothing about
himself. The prosecution offered in evidence
three certificates of conviction in Canada-one
for bigamy in 1876, under the same name as
that in the indictment here, when he was sent
to the penitentiary in Kingston, Ont, for two
years, and two convictions for obtaining goods
under false pretenses while he was government
inspector of mines at Belleville, Ont. This evi-
dence was not accepted. Both sides rested, and
argument will be taken up tomorrow
The defendant says he will go to the peniten-
tiary, but claims he has saved his .wifes name
by remaining silent, and will divulge nothing.
He is an Englishman, forty-two years of age,
and was Whitney's coachman when he married
Whitneys daughter. From the New York mar
riage, he claims to have been divorced Wit
nesses were present from Newark, Michigan and

Brand case, that, from the testimony given be-

ALBANY, N Y, Nov. 2S.-The General Term
TO- day handed down a decision affirming the
judgment of conviction in the case of Frank r.
Sberwin, found guilty at the October, 1883, Oyer
and Terminer of contempt of court, in failing to
appear in obedience to the mandate of the court,
as a witness against Phelps, the defaulting Dep,
uty State Treasurer in 1873 All the judges con-
Cured in the decision. Sherwin is now in New
Mexico, having obtained, through the efforts of
his former counsel. Edwin j. Meegan, of
this city, permanent stay of pro-

borne, pending an appeal Upon the granting
Of this writ he was released by Recorder Gould
from custody upon depositing So, 900 in court in
lieu of bail After his release Sherwin imme-
diately left for the West, defrauding his counsel
Mr.. Meegan, of great portion of his hardearned
fees. The latter then dropped the case, and it
was taken up at the last moment by New York
lawyer at great disadvantage. 1t is thought in
legal circles that the result might have been
otherwise Il the defense had been well prepared.
1t is thought Sherwn will forfeit his deposit and
avoid arrest. His sentence is Imprisonment in

he said that military pensions were constantly
increasing The recipients of pensions were
nearly always able to produce certif-

urged the necessity of aiming at the highest
standard of military efficiency. Gerinanys po-
sition in the council of nations was largely based
on her possession of a strong army With this

tamper

Harsh Things that Are Being Said About
Him by the Gossips
Special TO the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Nov 2s,-The gossipS are say
ing some harsh and doubtless very untruthful
things about the President They would have
the public believe that he is on intimate political
terms with Governor Cleveland, and that he
secretly assisted the latter during the
campaign just closed. This is being
told here, and is provoked by the
announcement that tho President had extended
to his successor elect the use of tho White Housa
during the few days he is to be here preparing
his documents before the Inauguration.
1t is given out officially, at the White House,
that Governor Cleveland will not be a resident
nor guest there until after no has been in
augurated, and that an invitation has not
been extended to him to do SO The
President spurns the nsinuatou that ne in any
way aided Cleveland during the canvass: that he
is on any terms whatever with him, or that he
would curry favor with him by any act
After the otekeepcrs have had u regular cat
fight to secure the patronage of the President
during his stop here prior TO March T. and after
all the gossip on the subject, it seems probable
that he will be the guest of w ". Corroran, his
personal friend

PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

The Bills for New Structures viii Have bus
Slight Chance of Passing.
Special tn the indianapolis Journa..
WASHINGTON, Nov. Is. There is probably no
class of measures before Congress in which more
people are interested than the bills making ap-
preparations for public buildings at large num-
ber of cities throughout the country for United
States offices, especially postoffices 1t will be
remembered that they were, last wintor, re-
ported from the House committee
on public buildings and grounds pretty
much in bunch, and that as they aggregated
so large an amount of money some members
who were not directly interested in them raised
q cry against them as a class, and they were left
in the House in committee of the whole on the
on the state of the Union. It was charged that
the members were trading votes on any and all
measures for votes on their public building bills
and that there was therefore public building
combination formed.
A good deal of inquiry has been made about
the probable fate of these bills by this Congress.
Chairman Stockslager, of the committee on
public buildings and grounds, says he believes
the bills will all come up undOr tho special order

business This firm carried on an extensive
business here for several years, but was dis
solved about year ago, Mr., Boyd associating
himself in business with Mr.. Henry G. Wilson,
and Mr.. Brown starting independently in the
same line of business. He was also operating
extensively in several other cities, and has been
here very little of the time, his indianapolis
business being under charge Of Mr.. w. H.
Baker. Mr.. p. E. Mutchener has had charge
of the books. The business has been ex-
tensive one, and Mr. Baker says, has been
profitable Brown has had an exceedingly large
number of irons in the fire, being the senior
member of the firms of B. ID. Brown & Co. in
Chicago, Boston, Burlington and West Point,
Neb., and at the latter point he owns and oper-
ates an elevator, bank, paper mill, Touring
mill a. lumber yard, brick yard, and
is president of the West Point Dairy
Association, in connection with which he
owns 500 nlch cows and feeds
500 beef cattle, beside hogs and sheep. OF the
business affairs of Brown 81 Co.. Mr.. Baker
says he knows nothing but as for 'B d. Brown,
of indianapolis" whose business is entirely indie
pendent of the other firms he says he is perfect
ly solvent, and owes nothing that cannot be
settled by check Immediately. In fact, he says
that Brown is a creditor Of the railroads and
others, to the extent of possibly $40, 600,
are small bills for freightage and minor
matters. Mr.. Baker states that the elevators
operated by Brown q Boyd, and later by Wilson
d Boyd are the private property of Mr.. Brown,
SulU a1 ms own expense ana rented 10 Inose
firms They located at Newman, Ham
mond, Paris and Weldon. III. The Burlington
elevator is owned by Mr.. Brown, as is also the
Western elevator of this city. Mr.. Baker
stated to the journal reporter that he believed
the business here would be continued. 1t
is in no wise involved with Brown &
Co., and he does not apprehend that
the failure will have any influence on the house
here. Mr. Baker states that President King, of
the Middletown bank is interested in the Dairy
Association, and that it is doubtless through
that concern that the bank became involved.
The statement that Brown is speculator,
pure and simple" Mr.. Baker states is uD true,
and says, further, that in the business here there
has never been a single deal in futures or op-
tions, every transaction having been bonafide

FOREIGN MISCELLANY,

An Attempt to Destroy the Residence of an
Unpopular Land Agent
DUBLIN, Nov. 28.-An attempt was made at
Tralee, last night, which nearly proved success
full to destroy, with dynamite, the residence of
Samuel Hussey, known as Edinboro House.
Many windows and portion of the western
wall of the house were badly shattered, but no
one was hurt. 1t is believed the explosive was
placed in a sewer under the back part of the
house. After the explosion the house looked as
though it had been bombarded. A split several
inches wide was made in the main wall, reaching
from the ground to the roof. Great excitement
prevails in Cork where Hussey is exceedingly
