A Horrible Crime,

EvANsv LIE, IND, Oct. 10.-A horri-
BILE crime was brought to light at Troy,
Indiana, by the finding Of the headless
body of woman in a cistern on the
farm OF Peter Bacller. The body was
nude, and the head was found in Il
thicket 100 yards from the cstern. This
was late Wednesday evening. When
the body was taken from the water it
was vet warm. Blood flowed from the
trunk. 1t was the body of a portly
women, weighing 100 pounds, about
10 wears old. A Ieep cash was cut ba-
low the shoulder blade, as if with an
axe. There was wound on the FORE
head, as If done with blunt instru-
ment. The body was taken 10 Troy,
where it was viewed by large number
of people, but not identified until Thurs
day, when il was recognized as the body
of Mrs. Stilwell Hindershat, who resided
on farm fourteen miles back of Troy.
A neighbor of Hindershot, while in Tell
City, yesterday, saw the murdered
woman's husband. He also saw a valise
marked f. II. Hindershot, while the
steamer, Droillard, was at Troy last
night. A search warrant was procured,
the valise opened and found to contain
the clothing of tho victim, covered with
blood. Warrants were made inmedi-
ately for Stilwell Hindershot, the hus-
band, and f. II. and William Hinder
shot, sons of the old man.
His son, William, was arrested
and brought to Troy last night. The
Oldest son refused to come and defied
arrest. An increased posse was sent af-
ter him and he was brought to Troy
this morning and placed in Jail. He ac-
knowledged committing the crime him
self; that his father and
brother had nothing to do
with it. The old mans testimony seems
to throw the weight of the crime on

WACO, oct. Special. John r..

Young man named William Thompson.

charging them with adultery. They
were arrested at o'clock this morning,
May MOulton nc the thoa.Gr, and rhpmp.
son at an adjacent saloon. This morn
ing the woman was tried in the County
court and the jury acquitted her. The
State then dismissed the charge against
young Thompson. Moul,on was greatly
disappointed. lie said Thompson had
tured his wife away, but II she would
live with him (Aioulton) again he would
lake her back, rs he loved her yet.
Thompson did not deny thut the
woman was the wife of Moultou, or that
she had left Kansas City with him
trhompson). He said, though, that
MOulton had not treated her right or
provided Tor her Well,and the two would
never live togo ther again. The woman
is young and good-looking, and the jury
was evidently "mashed" on her. After
the prisoners were discharged they left
the courtroom, Moulton and WHO to-

son left the city together. Moulton left

Thompson claims to have been engaged
in the clothing business In Topeka and
Kansas City. All the parties are intelli-
gent, and seemed to have plenty Of
money. Monlton got no sympathy here
because of the way he took to right his
wrongs. If he had shot Thompson on
sight, public opinion would have been
more sympathetic than it was. The
woman and Thorn came to Waco

Senator Coke Explains.

WACO, Oct. -lSpecial. With refer
ence to the statement attributed ts Sen
ator Coke in a recent San Antonio
special to the Fort Worth Gazette that,
che bad never seen Democratic plat
form he could endorse" the Day this
evening says: SIN conversation with
Senator Coke, he remarked that the
statement telegraphed to some of the
newspapers that he said in his speeches
that there had never been Democratic
platform which he endorsed was true,
but not in the sense of population. He
counselled harmony, and said that mu-
tual concession in the platforms and
candidates was essential in political
parties, as in other matters. Individu-
ais could not insist that their party
should be exactly in accord with
their views, but it oughtto be sufficient
il such views were in the main ombod-
led in it's pia torn. Thus, while he did
not wholly endorse he cordially sup
ported his party, and it's principles as
enunciated by its national and state
conventions.

unlny Lost His Womb.

ALBANY, Oct. s. - David Haley,
chief clerk in the bureau of labor sta
tistics, was to-day removed from Office
Aby Commissioners Peck. The reason
Assigned by Peck for his action is that
his subordinate has violated his oath o!
office and has been guilty of malfea-
sence in Office, the latter charge CON
s;sting in his telegraphing some forty
Xix messages, amounting to about $40,
and charging the same TO the depart
ment. Haley Indignantly denies the
charge and will demand an investiga-
ton. Haley's friends claim he recently
presided at Butler meeting, against
the advice of Commissioner Peck.

DENVER, Oct. o. Colorado Springs
special to the Tribune-Republican says:
The Colorado Wool growers association
In session here has issued an address
to the wool-growors Of the country,
urging them to vo,o for no candidate
for congress or tho state legislature who
is not without qualification on the con-
dition that he is in favor of the restora-
ton OF the rates of duty in 1851.
All wool growers are called
upon to redeem the pledges
made at Chicago last June, TO ig-
more party affiliations, and sup
port only those vino favor such
legislative measures. Tho address
concludes thus: 1--WE ask you to do
nothing more than we propose
doing. We believe that in
yiaw OF the present depressed
condition Of the wool growing
interest brought about by adverse legis-
laton, those engaGed in this business
should, as matter of self-preservation,
ignore what is largely sentimental in
politics and turn their attention TO those
practical questions, upon which depend
the prosperity, and consequently, the
happiness Of themselves and families.
