The London Policeman,s Idea.


LONDON, Jan PA favorite theory of the po-
lice is that the dynamite which coused the ex-
plosions in Westminster Hall, the House of
Commons and the Tower was carried to the
place in each case concealed under the long
cloak Of woman, whose appearance was thus
made to resemble that of woman about to be-
come a mother. A woman in whom this
appearance was very noticeable was seen
among the visitors at the Tower this afternoon,
shortly before the explosion occurred she was
escorted by tall man, with military air. Nei-
ther Of them could be found after the gates
were closed, after the explosion. and when the
visitors were searched. 1t is supposed the
woman and her escort escaped during the rnsh
that occurred just after the explosion and be-
fore the gates were closed. The impotent action
of the police is generally ridiculed.
All persons arrested during the afternoon on
suspicion of being implicated in to-day's
crimes were released this evening" there
being no facts against them sufficient to
warrant keeping them in custody. The police
are completely non-plussed. They are incapable
of even forming'a theory and appear to be dazed
at their own ineficiency to prevent such out
RACES or discern their perpetrators when they
have been committed. Popular rage is high,
and the demand for some one on whom to wreak
vengeance for the awful crimes of the afternoon
was so insatiate that the persons arrested on
suspicion narrowly escaped lynching when set
at lihertv

THEORIES OF DETECTIVES.
Inspector Byrnes Would Look in High Places
for the Authors of the Outrage.

Inspector Byrnes Would Look in High Places
for the Authors of the Outrage.
New YORK, Jan. "a Inspector Byrnes, chief
of the detective force, gave his views, tonight,
regarding the dynamite explosions to day in Lon
don. He said such state of things could not
exist here and could not in London without the
authorities being very much at fault. With the
power and prestige of the whole British govern
ment at their command, with laws so much more
favorable than ours to vigorous policy
Of suppression. and with unlimited re-
sources of every kind, they ought to
be able to prevent outrages and punish
the perpetrators, unless there was a screw very
seriously loose somewhere. Looking at it from
a common sense point of view, he thought there
was screw loose. His idea was that the author
tiles over there were on the wrong track alto
gether. Were he in London, and charged
with discovering the orignators of these ex-
plosions, he would look in exactly the opposite
direction from the one the authorities seem to be
following. depend upon it," said he, there
are people very high in station who
lead these movements and engineer these con-
stantly recurring, systematic outrages. If they
waited long enough, the English police would
catch some vagabond with dynamite in his
pocket and hang him. This would not stop it,
as these men were only tools. 1t was the men
who used them that they wanted. The Irish at
home and those abroad were not the people TO
conceive such systematic plan of outrage.
He did not expect to find the leaders among
these He would look to the highest
intelligence, the boldest leadership, and the sta
tion furthest removed from suspicion for them.
He would look as near the government itself as
might be for his purpose and expect to find
there what he sought. The shock of the dscov
cry would startle the country more than the dy-
namters explosives had done The British

CALCAREOUS DEGENERATION.
4 Remarkable Case of 0ssifcation in Morgan
C0unty--A Girls Body Turns Into Stone.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARTINsvILLE Jan. 24.-Last Wednesday
there died young woman whose case is of
unique and mysterious nature. The lady, Miss
Hannah Stout, was the daughter of John Stout.
o wel-to-do farmer, and also postmaster at
Hyndsdale, in this (Morgan) County. About
twenty years ago, or when she was
three years of age, she was affected
by rigdity of the muscles of the arm,
which was amenable to no treatment. Instead
of being relieved in the least, its severity in
creased and spread to other parts of the body,
and was accompanied or followed by stifening
of the joints and final ossifcaton of nearly all
the joints in the body. But this ossifcation or
unnatural deposit of calcareous or chalky matter
did not end with the soidifying of the joints.
Her afiction, though it steadily grew worse, did
not confine her to her bed until her fifteenth
year. when she became incapable of any motion
whatever, and 50 she remained for the last eigh-
teen years of her life. About the same time the
muscular tissue of her whole body began to be
replaced by a deposit resembling bone in
its hardness and weight. The bones
of the spinal column were united
firmly and inseparably into one; the ribs were
united by their connecting tissues, being turned
to bone, SO that her chest was dense, immov-
able box of bone, all breathing being done by
the diaphragm and muscles of the abdomen.
The limbs, though small, were compact as
though muscles bones and sinews were all
united into one large bone. At the time of her
death there was little muscular tissue left in the
body, and it is great wonder that she lived
80 long Her mind was not apparently
affected her memory being astonishingly ready
and retentive. On one occasion she recognized
physician whom she had not seen for ten
years. Although calcareous degeneration is fire.
quent in some parts of the body, such as the
cartilage of joints which have become immova-
BILE for some time the valves of the heart, and
sometimes even in the arteries yet it is believed
that there is no case record of so great an
extent of bony deposits as was manifested in this
unfortunate girl
The reports as to the weight of the body hav-
ing increased so greatly are without foundation.
Though the coffin was large and of peculiar
shape, owing to the mmovably bent position of
the knee Joints. its weight was not so great but
that four men easily carried it. The family
were always sensitive in regard to the girl, and
her disease, and the medical fraternity had no
opportunity to inform themselves accurately of
the peculiarities Of the case. On account of the
fear of doctors in search of curiosites the grave
was made in the yard just under the window,
and close watch is kept every night.

Sixteen Persons Injured, Among Whom Are
Many Children.
LONDON, JAN 24-4P M-The rumors regard.
ing an explosion at London Tower are confirmed.
The outrage was the most successful yet made
upon any of the public buildings since the inaug
uration of the present era of dynamite warfare.
The famous old building was crowded with visit
ors at the time of the explosion, and the widest
rumors are in circulation as to the number of
persons injured. These rumors are being car
ried through the city, and are constantly ex-
aggerated by visitors present at the time. Up
to o'clock hut sixteen persons had been off
cialy reported as injured by the explosiea-
none mortally.
The attack was made on that portion of the
building known as the white Tower" It was
fairly filled with visitors at the time, and most
if not all of those hurt were moving about in
the tower at the time of the explosion. The
White Tower was almost completely wrecked by
the force of the explosion; the roof
was blown clear off the structure. All
the persons known to have been
injured were visitors. The police, the moment
they realized the nature of the explosion, effect
ually barred all egress from the tower and guards
are now subjecting every person detained to a
most rigid search, upon the theory that the at.
tack was perpetrated by some person or persons
inside the premises
Surgeons were promptly summoned to the as
sistance of the wounded who are now receiving
all attention practicable. The excitement is
growing as the news of the explosion spreads,
and the crowds in the vicinity of the damaged
buildings are increasing momentarily.
Investigation so far made leads to the conclus-
sion that the explosives used in the attack on tie
Tower were handled by persons who gained ac-
cess to the structure as sightscers The ruins

LONDON, Jan. "a, 2:l0 P. M.-An alarming ex-
plosion has just occurred in the Houses of Par
lament.
$50 p. M.-The Houses of Parliament and
government Offices were severely shaken, and
considerable damage was done. 1t is impossible
at this moment to tell tho extent of the calamity.
The report of the explosion was heard in Down
ing street Great excitement prevails, and
enormous crowds are assembling at tie scene of
the explosion. The origin of the explosion is
wrapped in mystery, but is believed to have been
caused by dynamite.
The explosion occurred close to the House of
Lords, near Westminster Hail. 1t is reported
that the explosive was placed in the crypt under
the building The force of the shock was tre.
mendous, and was felt at great distance The
amount Of damage done is very great. Rumors
are current at this hour that another explosion
occurred at o'clock this afternoon at London
Tower. The excitement is increasing with every
moment, and the city is filed with flying ru-
mors.
There were two explosions instead of one, as
at first supposed at the Parliament Houses
The second came about three minutes after the
first One was near the House of Commons,
and the other at Westminster Hall. One man
was arrested near the scene of the explosions.
The detective force is hard at work now seeking
further developments which are anxiously
awaited, particularly by the people in the neigh
borhood of Westminster Hail.
Saturday being the usual visiting day at the
Houses Of Parliament, the buildings contained a
great number of sghtseers at the time Of the
explosions. The first explosion occurred in the
crypt of Westminster Hall, and the second took
place in the strangers gallery in the House Of
Commons Immediately before the first ex-
plosion lady visitor. who was alone and about to
enter the buildings, beckoned to a policeman and
called his attention to package lying upon the
SlcpS outSIuc the crypC. Inc pOuceman picked
up the package carelessly, not suspecting any
thing. and went with it out into Westminster
Hail. He no sooner reached the hall than the
package exploded. This explosion knocked the
policeman down and Injured him seriously. His
case is considered critical It's force also knocked
down two other policemen standing in the vicin-
ity and stunned them. A lady and gentleman
standing near the officer who had the package
were also prostrated. The great window over
the main entrance of Westminster Hall was
smashed to atoms and all side windows blown
out In the interior of the House Of Commons
and upon the floor the only seat damaged by the
explosion was that which Mr. Gladstone occupies.
small chip was also torn off the top OF the
Speakers chair The explosion caused panic
among the visitors. Those who were IN the
House of Commons fed precepitately, and many
ladies were bruised in the crush
