WARFARE IN GEORGIt
Illicit Distillers Take Vengeance OF Persons
Suspected Of Giving Information.

GAINESVILLE. Ga, Oct. 13.-Great excite
ment exists in Franklin county, owing to the
bitter warfare between the illicit distillers and
those suspected of being spies. In several cases
which have lately been reported to the revenue
officers. important information has been given
by law abiding citizens, who desire to aid in
breaking up the practice of illicit d~istilling.
This has brought down upon them the ven
geance of the distllers. who have served notice
upon them to leave the county or take the con-
sequences. The first evidence that the distillers
meant business was the assassination of a young
man named Dyar. who had testified against sew
eral persons. Dyar was going home in a
wagon, and when driving through a thick copse
a we'll lime bullet sped through his brain. He
fell back in the wagon. and the horses, taking
fright, galloped wildly until home was reached,
where Dyar's relatives were Mortified by the
sight which met their gaze.
The second man attacked was a farmer named
Gilbreath. He was seated before the fireplace
in his house, when a double-barrele shotgun
was placed through a hole in the window and
fired by an unknown person. His clothing was
torn completely from his chest; but ne remained
unhurt, the load of buck shot taking effect in
the wall. That night he fled the country. Other
persons suspected of ''peaching" on the distillers
are under notice to make themselves scarce.

BIG THING IN SCIENCE.
Sin gular Accuracy with Which the He'll Gate
Shock Was Noted at Princeton.
Washington Special.

Washington Special.
The Naval Observatory professors utilized
every Instrument and apparatus available yester-
day, in making archaeological observations to as
certain whether the blast at He'll Gate would re-
cord itself as far away as Washington. 1t ap-
pears that the shock WAS noted at Princeton Col
lege Observatory with great accuracy. What
might have been the result here had the obServa-
tory people taken the precautions to have got a
signal from New York of the actual time of the
explosion is how only a matter of speculation.
1t was officially announced that it would take
place at precisely IL o'clock, standard time, and,
as the observatory furnishes that time. all the
professors were in position for work promptly at
the instant the standard clock recorded the ex-
act hour. The chronograph was used in making
the record, and at the conclusion of the
observations they were recorded in the
usual manner for future reference. A
gentleman who visited the observatory on bust
ness found. to his great surprise, that the road
way gates were all shut; not even nurses with
baby carriages were allowed to enter the grounds.
The stone-cutters employed on the new building
for testing compasses were required TO suspend
work until ten minutes after IL. Every possible
precaution was taken to keep the surroundings
of the observatory free from commotion. When
the visitor asked what all this solemn stiffness
and exclusiveness meant. he was told that OBJ
servations of a very delicate nature had been
taken to discover whether the blast of Flood
Rock would be felt here. He was assured that
they had been, for the disturbance III the mer-
curry basin was very distinct, and to allow for
the velocity of the shock and the retard the
observations continued until ten minutes past IL.
After mutual expressions of delight ever their
success, it occurred to one of the professors to
ask the Western Union telegraph manager to
ascertain at what time the explosion was noted
in New York. His answer was IL o'clock thirty
five minutes. Imagine the surprise which was
instantly shown in the faces OF the scientific
group. When the operator corrected the mis-
take and said it was between thirteen and four
teen minutes past IL, the professors were no
better off, for they had quit their positions at
ten minutes past IL.

Indian Scare in the Northwest.

OMAHA, Neb, Oct. 13-General Howard has
received a letter from General Schofield, of
Chicago, regarding complaints that the Sioux
Indians of the Pine Ridge and Rosebud agencies
have been leaving their reservations and com
hitting depredations in the newiy-opened coun-
try of Dakota and Wyoming. General Howard
will investigate the matter thoroughly, and put
a stop to any and all depredations. He has
telegraphed to Fort Robinson for full informa-
ton. 1t is believed at headquarters that the
settlers have simply become scared at some
Indians that are off the reservations by permits
sion of the agents, and no trouble is anticipated
by the military autho titles. The fact that
American Horse and a portion of his band of
OgallalEa Sioux are moving across the country TO
visit the Washikie Indians in the Wind River
reservation, i'll Western Wyoming, 300 miles
from Pine Ridge. has probably given rise to wild
and exaggerated rumors. These Indians are
peaceable. and are off their reservation by per-
mission of Agent McGillicuddy. They have
their squaws, children, tepees. horses and
wagons with them. accompanied by three mem
bers of McGillicuddv's Indian police aud an in

Counterfeiters Captured,

service officers raided a camp of eleven coun-
terfeiters, in Clarion county yesterday, captur-
ing six of them. the others escaping into the
woods. The prisoners were brought to this city,
and, at a preliminary hearing before United
States Commissioner McCandless, this morning,
were held for court. The officers refuse to give
the names of those arrested, as they hope to Sc
cure the rest of the gang before many days. The
coniackers have been plying their vocation quite
successfully in Clarion, jefferson and Fores.
counties. They have been engaged in the man
~ufacture of spurious silver dollars. and had a
thorough system for placing the same in circu-
lation. The case is one of the biggest in the
counterfeiting line that has been worked up
hereabouts for many years.

The st. Louis Strike Apparently Ended.

ST. Louis, Oct. 13.-The strike seems to have
died out to day, there being absolutely no ap-
pearance of trouble. All of the lines are run
ming full compliments of cars, and in most cases
the police have been withdrawn from the cars
altogether. There is no interruption to traffc at
all, which is a fortunate circumstance, as the
day is wet and dreary. and the streets very
muddy. Several of the strikers have gone back
to work on the roads to-day. but the Knights of
Labor claim that these men were never members
of the order, and that they only quit work
through fear. About six hundred of the strikers
have been meeting at Turner Hall, all the morn
ing. with tiehtly-closed doors, but those in
authority state that the meeting has done moth

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL
NEW ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL is REQ
cgnized 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 Indi-
ana that prints regularly the full reports of
the Western Associated Press, which are now
more comprehensive chan ever, covering the
whole world. These dispatches are supple
mented by the work of special correspondents
at all the principal cities and towns of tie
State and of the county at large. We have a
special residen. representative at Washington
City, who looks after the news of the national
capital with vigilance, paying particular at
tention 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 Repub-
lican 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 a spirit
and with a purpose for good, having a 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 1t
may also be said that HEJOURNALis pub
lished as a FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 1t rec
ognizes that the women and the children are
to be instructed and entertained. They will
always find in its columns matter specially
prepared for them, while the paper will be SO
conducted as to prove a welcome visitor in the
household. The 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 people of Fort Worth still cry

choice Of the people for postmaster

man ofleisure is able to procure, have
adopted the primary election course.

whose qualifications do not alone con.

such course as primary elections is

would be true.
