A Murderer Astonishes a Mclean County
Judge by Pleading Guilty.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Oct 16.-To-day genuine
surprise took place in the Mclean Circuit Court.
William jackson, on trial for the murder of
Richard Parr, pleaded guilty to the indictment,
throwing himself upon the mercy of the court,
Judge Reeves. Jackson, who is originally from
Indiana, and later from southern Illinois, came
here one day in February last. and, filing up
with whisky, went out to Danvers, in this coun-
ty, seeking fallen woman whom he had known.
At Danvers he fell in with farmer named
Richard Parr, and, in drunken row, shot and
killed him, and seriously wounded another man
named Harrison At the first trial. some months
ago. jackson was sentenced by a jury to death
by hanging He obtained a new trial by show
ing that one of the jurors had committed per-
jury in his examination as to his competency for
service. Judge Reeves will sentence jackson as
soon as he reviews the testimony. jackson will
probably be sent to prison for life.

Notes About Newspapers.

The Richmond Daily Palladium has been
greatly enlarged, sign of prosperity its many
friends over the State will be pleased to note.
The Palladium was established as a weekly in
1881, and has always been recognized as the
paper of eastern Indiana The daily. estab-
lished in 1876, enjoys an enviable reputation as
an honest. pure and consistent newspaper.
The Kokomo Gazette-Tribune. which, as the
successor of the Kokomo Tribune, has just en-
tered its thirtyfourlh year, is an admirable
daily, and shows what pluck and business tact,
ana newspaper sense can do even in an appa-
rently much -circumscribed field. There is no
paper in Indiana that has made so much of it's
opportunities as the bright, keen and sturdy Ko-
komo daily
The Comet" is the scintillating appelation of
Ortiz Stems new Sunday paper at Lafayette.
The first number is certainly very handsome.
The dress is of metropolitan style, the types be-
ing of neat, light face.

Condition of the Wool Market.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16-The Journal of Fabrics
and Dry Goods Bulletin of tomorrow will print
an elaborate report on the wool situation. Since
Aug. prices have advanced Is to 33 per cent.
on domestic woods. from the lowest point touched
for many years. The qualities chiefly affected
were medium and low grades The dependency
of wool men in Europe and Australia over the
results of the last London auction sales is very
great. especially so in fine woos- Low as prices
ruled before the London sales. they suffered
decline as the sales progressed. A cabiegram
just received from Australia states that the auc-
ton sales of the new clip have opened at de-
cline of to 10 per cent With such tone in
the wool centers of the world it is useless to
speculate on continued rise, or even s,.~tein-
ment of the present prices for any long period.

The rope which was used, Sheriff Harper
claims, WAS tested last evening, with a sack OF
sand weighing 200 pounds, and it proved strong
enough. 1t was seven -sixteenths CT an inch in
thickness and was the same kind of rope as was
used in the execution of Buck Stout The body of
Coffee weighed $50 pounds The breaking of
the rope, it is thought. was caused by the dis
lance of the drop more than by the weight OF the
body.
When the doctors pronounced life extinct the
body was cut down. but the public was not per-
mitted to see it. The announcement was made
to the crowd assembled in front of the jail dur
ing the afternoon that funeral services would be
held tomorrow morning at 1890 o'clock and the
remains could then be viewed by those desiring
to see them.
Before his death Coffee selected as his pail
bearers Jere Keeuey and A. B. Cunningham of
Charlottesville; BAIL It. Merrill. DIR. Hurt, DR..

was the intention to bury his remains in a lot
owned by his mother, at Whitock, but the citi
zens of that place would not permit it, and in
consequence they will be inferred at Oak Hill.
James M. Dennis who was convicted of COM
plicty in the murder of the McMullen's with
Coffee, and sentenced to hang on the Sd of last
September, but reprieved on account of evidence
tending TO show his innocence. and now in Jail
awaiting new trial. said after the execution
yesterday, That he was 'stoo chicken hearted to
see Coffee hang and would not even look at him
as he went QUITO the execution guard was
feeling against Dennis, who is generally believed
to be equally guilty Coffee. and it is thought.
therefore, that he ought to have suffered the same
punishment
