THU INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is REG
ognized everywhere as the leading newspaper
of Indiana. No proper expense is spared to
maintain this undisputed excellence and to
increase the value and interest of the paper.
THE JOURNAL was never so well equipped
to serve the public Our arrangements for
the collection of the news of the day are more
complete than ever, and we have added some
special features which must enhance the pop
ularity of the paper
THE JOURNAL is the only paper in In
diana that prints regularly the full reports Of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive than ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches ares supple
ment@ by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns Of the
State and of the country at large. We have
special resident representative at Washing
ton City, who looks after the news of the ma
tional capital with vigilance, paying particular
attention to that which most nearly concerns
THE JOURNALS constituency The full
est and most reliable intelligence from Wash
ington will be presented in our news columns,
free from party bias impartially, and without
restraint.
Editorially THE JOURNAL is a Republic
an paper, believing in the principles and
general policy of the Republican party; but it
recognizes that the day of blind party organ
ship has passed, and it proposes to be perfectly
free to criticise and condemn, but in spirit
and with purpose for good, having proper
regard for personal rights and regulations
The citizen, whatever his political faith, can
be assured of seeing in the columns of THE
JOURNAL the fullest and fairest presentation
of the news, and in it's editorial columns such
comment and structures as will command his
respect if they do not meet his approval. It
may also be said that THE JOURNAL is
published as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t
recognizes that the women and the children
are to be instructed and entertained They
will always find in it's columns matter special
ly prepared for them, while the paper will DO
SO conducted as to prove welcome visitor in
the household. TIE news will be presented
in such shape as to minimize the evil, and It's
editorial and local columns will be kept free
from moral faint.
The Railroad News of THE JOURNALS is
admittedly the freshest, fullest and most ac-
curate printed by any newspaper in the
country.

A Brutal Murder.

UTICA, Jan. l6.-Wm. Druse, a far
mer of moderate circumstances, living in
the town of Warren, Herkimer county.
has been missing for a month. There
we're supicions Of murder caused by quar-
rels between him and his wife. For
several days it was rumored hat Druse
had been murdered by his wife. his body
cut and burned, and the bones put into a
swamp. An axe owned by Druse was
found in Weatherbee's pond Saturday,
rolled in paper. A nephew of Mrs.
Druse named Gates, aged Is, having
been squeezed by neighbors, confessed
that Mrs. Druse shot her husband while
he and her son were out. She put a rope
around Gates neck and compelled him to
shoot also. They burned the body and
buried the bones. The odor of burning
flesh wa noticed Dec. IS. Mrs. Druse
and Gates are under arrest.
The district attorney and coroner are
conducting an examination into the death
of William Druse. Frank Gates, aged IA,
a nephew of Druse, living in the family,
made an artless confession showing that
the crime was committed Dec. 10. and
that Mrs. Druse compelled him to shoot
her husband a second time and aid her to
dispose of the body. They boiled it and
fed the flesh to the hogs and burned the
bones, the ashes Of which were buried in
a swamp. The boy says the woman cut
her husbands head off and put it first in
the stove. The boy acted as fireman and
had a terrible time destroying evidence of
the crime. The neighbors who noticed
the unusual smoke and odor were refused
admittance and papers kept over the win
dows. Since then the house has been re-
papered.

said the rates to both points ought to be
reasonable. ingalls, thought the compen-
sation of roads should be proportisned to
the distance.
Senator Brown Of Georgia said compe-
tition was not a solution to the railroad
question. The legislation proposed would
greatly discourage the building Of rail
roads. There may be enough Of them in
the North and West. Those sections may
have enough game in their trap to be able
to afford to pull the trigger. 1t was not
SO with the South, which yet needed rail
roads, If the present bill passed, the
people who were now clamoring for its
passage would soon be found clamoring
for its repeal. 1t would either drive rail-
roads into bankruptcy or else it would
prohibit all interchange of commodities at
a greater distance than 500 or 600 miles as
the statistics quoted by Nh. Brown
showed that freight could no possibly
bear the same proportionate rate for a
thousand miles. 1t would not only destroy
interstate commerce, but by making long
distance freights from the West to the
Atlantic coast SO expensive as to prohibit
shipment. 1t would also destroy u for

FoRT WAYNE, Jan. 16.-At 8 O'Clock
this afternoon a third unsuccessful at
tempt was made by the Pittsburg. Fort

move the freight trains blocked here by
reason of the brakemen's strike against
the double header system of running
freight trains. Supt. Law, together with

take an engine from the r~oundhouse to a
freight train which they wished to send
east The strikers allowed them to take
the engine and run it outside of the round
house. when one of the several strikers
upon the engine laid hold of the whistle
and blew it vigorously. This signal for
aid was responded to quickly by other
strikers scattered in and around the yards
of the company guarding the switches.
They compelled Mr.. Polhamus, who had
hold of the throttle of the engine, to give
place to a striker while others assisted
Polhamus to dismount. The engine was

Reports From colorado Ranges.

From the Denver News.
The weather of the past two days and
nights has bordered on the blizzard order.
A keen, cutting blast has prevailed, and
the air has been filled with particles Of
fine. hard snow. In Denver yesterday the
mercury hung around zero all day, greatly
to the disgust and fear of cattlemen who
have stock on the ranges The mortality
among cattle must surely be great. In
Colorado much snow has fallen and cattle
are said to be drifting in front of a stiff
norther. An old Colorado cattle raiser
yesterday said to a reporter that the pres
ent storm must necessarily prove disas-
trous to cattle on the plains. and he fears
a great mortality. Indications are that
the storm will not abate very soon, and
that when it does the ranges will be toler-
ably well strewn with carcasses of weak
cattle. The loss will never be known
until the next round up.

THE strike AT CARBON.
Rumors of Riots But a Speedy Settlement
Probable

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER
CARBON, Wyo., Jan. 16.-Only seven
teen men worked in the mines here to-
day. Considerable excitement was caused
this afternoon by a report of a fearful
riot at the mines The trouble occurring
was caused by Union Pacific switchmen
who went to the mines for cars and who
were repulsed by several boss miners with
guns, who mistook the switchmen for
Knights of Labor men. No one was hurt
and the mistake was soon remedied. The
miners are r~econsidering their demand for
the resignation Of Superintendent L. R.
Meyer of the coal department, their
grievances against him being only that
he upheld Quealy. The master workman
of the Knights of Labor from Denver
reached here this evening and will settle
the difficulty with the coal department.
The miners have agreed to be satitied with
whatever agreement is made. This will
end the strike. The Union Pacific rail-
way is short 300 cars of coal per day so

The IRON Firm,s Failure.

PIrTsBURG, Jan. l6.-It is expected
that next Tuesday Oliver Bros. & Phil
lips will make a formal statement OF their
affairs. The firm says it will make its
statement to its creditors first and to the
public afterwards, and no information can
be had until Tuesday afternoon. The
indications are that the liabilities Of the
firm will reach from $4,000, 900 to Sc, O0O,-
600, $5,000,0 900 being summarily given by
those connected with financial institutions.
A very large proportion of this sum is
secured by collateral of various kinds and
is held by banks. The banks of Pittsburg
hold considerable of this paper, but it is
nearly all secured The banks in many
parts of the country, east and west, also
hold the paper, Eastern financial institu-
tons having large blocks.
The Pittsburg banks have decreased
their holdings largely within a year, much
of the paper being paid voluntarily by the
firm. In one bank the firm reduced its
paper 100000 within a year. Consider
ing the extent of the firm, but a compare
lively small amount Of the weight falls
upon Pittsburg's shoulders. One of the
c~ontributary causes to the suspension was
doubtless the heavy loss made by the firm
on a contract for pipe which was made
with a mining company in California
This pipe was made and shipped to Gala
fornia and all condemned. The unsecured
debts of the firm compose, it is said. about
one-half of its liabilities. This is largely
owing to furnace ore companies as secured
creditors. Local banks and banks gener-
ally are willing to agree to an extension.
There is no doubt of obtaining the assent
of the unsecured creditors.
The Woods run and south side mills of
the firm are all in operation to-day.
At the Woods run mill a full set of
hands were at work at reduced wages, on
south side many of those who refused to
work at a reduction went to work this
morning.

Many Unemploved Mem

MONTREAL, Jan. l6.-A large public
meeting of unemployed workmen is called
for Tuesday night, when addresses will
be made by the leading merchants on the
situation. 1t is thought by careful calcu-
lation that nearly 5000 men are idle in
the city and suburbs. In Red Path sugar
refinery about 100 are employed out Of
600 and all nail factories are running
200 or 300 men less than usual. 1t is
reported that the Bank of Montreal has
arranged a combination of cotton manu-
facturers and that the alliance of all mills
will be lasting. An advance in price is at
once anticipated about Is per cent above

preston.

The Cisco

NEW YoRK, Jan. 16.-Up to a late
hour this afternoon there were no failures
growing out Of the Cisco suspension. The
accepted reason for Cisco's assignment
now is hat the daughters ofthe late John
q. Cisco company heirs, with Cisco Of the
present firm, insist upon having the estate
l~iquidated and Withdrawing their funds
from the concern. In view of the unset
tied state Of affairs generally it was deemed
best to make an assignment if the firm
had $500, 900 to its credit in the bank at
the close Of business yesterday.
