Suicide Established.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
GREENvILLE, O., April 16-The preliminary
trial of Samuel Morrison and Ephraim Buel,
charged with the murder of George Farnsworth,

April 8, and whom tho prisoners assisted in re-
moving his effects from near Mt Healthy, Ham
ilton county, to near Rossville this county,
began yesterday morning before Mayor r. s.
Frizell, and closed about o'clock this afternoon
The prisoners were discharged, and at that mo-
mont the large crowd in the courtroom clapped
their hands, shouted with joy, and crowded to-
ward the young men with outstretched hands
and words of good cheer and congratulations.
Many of those present shed tears of joy. The
medical testimony was almost unanimously in
support of suicide, and it was proven that Farms
worth had threatened to take his life. Both
Buel and Morrison were proven to be men of
good character, peaceful, honest and in
dustrious. No evidence was produced to
show that they murdered Farnsworth
or that they knew anything Of
his death until they returned home. but that he
was alive when they left him at his new home,
near Rossville Farnsworth's family physician,
who had served him fer twelve years, testified
that he had doctored him for enlargement of the
liver, caused by intemperance; that he had
drunk excessively for the past two years; a child
Of the dead man had died week before he
moved. and he was quite despondent and a good
subject for suicide. The decision of the court il

refer to the story going the rounds that at

land Loses by Delay.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON April l6-The interest of
Washington diplomatic and military circles con-
tinues to center in the news from Russia and
England There is a universal feeling here that
war is inevitable, and to this is added the belief
that England is foolish not to declare war at
once, as Russia is taking rapid strides towards
arming her forces and preparing for war on a
grand scale. The conflict which must come
cannot long be delayed, and the fight will, in
the opinion of those best able to judge, be the
greatest military event of the nineteenth CEN
tury. While the boundary line between Turk.
estan and Afghanistan is the ostensible bone of
contention, it is not really this dividing line that
will be fought over A naval officer who has
devoted great deal of study to European po-
litical questions, in conversing with your cor
respondent upon this subject to-day. said: RUS
sia will never be content until England is se-
verely thrashed. The great Russian empire
while so vast as to be almost beyond control in
northern Europe and northern ASIA is not
large enough for it's rulers in southern Asia and
southern Europe. With vast seacoast in the
uninviting regions of the arctic, the
Russias are without a single seaport
on the Mediterranean; and while the CzarAand
his advisers are anxious to encroach upon
Englands Indian possessions they are far more
anxious to secure port On this sea- Until an
outlet is afforded for Russian shipping directly
into the Mediterranean, without the necessity of
passing through the Dardanelles, Russia will be
restless and discontented and always ready to
find pretext to fight the plucky little island
which gives her so much trouble. Since the
Crimean war ended, when Russia was worsted,
after terrible conflict with the allied forces of
England, France and Turkey, the resentment of
the Russians towards England has never died
out. 1t has slumbered at times, but has never
been entirely effaced If Russia could secure
Smyrna she would be content, and while the
war is likely to open on the Afghan frontier it
will not cease there. The whole of Europe will
be involved, and blood will flow like water. The
United States will be fortunate indeed if we are
not drawn into the contest before peace is finally
declared"

Medical Statement of the Case.

New YORK, April 16-The following will ap
pear in the Medical Record on Saturday:
During the past week General Grant has
suffered from considerable irritation about
his throat, and the secretion Of mucus
has, for the time being, been increased.
On two or three occasions he has had attacks
of choking, which depended as much on reflex
spasms as upon temporary accumulation of
phlegm in the larynx At no time
has he been in imminent danger
of suffocation The local disease has made no
progress except to slight extent along the free
border of the right side of the velum The
sloughing exudation in the vault Of
the larynx is beginning to dsinte-
CRATE, and portions have been discharged,
exposing characteristic fungoid granular SUR
face underneath. The chances of this mass in
its separation from the throat surface, tenn
porarily obstructing the arynx, have thus been
removed In consequence of this change the
local condition has greatly improved. The
glandular swelling has not perceptibly in
creased, although the surrounding in
fammatory changes give rise. from
time to time to tenderness on pressure. The
pain in swallowing is not so great, but the diff
Guilty in deglutition is sometimes quite
marked, owing to loss of tissue in
the velum. The granular infltrated
condition OF the paatal curtain still exists, and,
by extension of irritation, its presence in neigh
boring tissues temporarily becomes more or less
vedematous, explaining the reason for tbs
hemming cough with which the distinguished
patient is often very much annoyed. His gen.
eral condition is much improved. His food,
which is of a most nourishing kind is well assim-
Hated, and his bodily vigor has OF late
been but little impaired, considering
the number of recent drawbacks ha
has experienced The smallest amount Of NOR.

A RUSSIAN VIEW.
Impregnable Character of the Defenses of ST.
Petersburp

Impregnable Character of the Defenses of st.
Petersburg.
Interview with Russian Staff officer.
"But you are aware that the Russian fleet
could not stand against the English feet2" sug-
gested the reporter.
'True enough" quickly admitted the Russian
officer. England has seventy-two armor clad
menof-war against thirty on the Russian side.
But you must not forget that Russia cannot be
forced to marine war. She has to defend her
coast-line, and this she is fully able to do, even
against the English navy For that purpose we
have 120 torpedo boats and nine sloops- -of-war.
But in case of defense, the coast fortresses are
chiefly to be relied upon, and that is our strong
point"
"It is reported that England intends to trans
fer the war to the Baltic and to the Black sea-"
said the reporter.
"Woll, they are welcome there. On entering the
Baltic the English men of-war could not do any
thing more than force our government to keep at
the capital an army OF a certain strength But
as to taking st. Petersburg there be no ques-
ton whatever, and the English know it as well
as we do Let all Europe 60 there by the sea
and st. Petersburg could not be taken. ] have
served myself in the Cronstadt fortress and
know perfectly well the whole arrangement of
lcTiuluaUl6 lOrtrcSS there L Will give you 1uSC q
faint idea of the situation. Cronstadt is situated
on the Kotlin island, forty-six versts, or about
thirty -one miles. from st. Petersburg. There
are two channels leading to the capital, one north
and the other south from Cronstadt. Both
channels are, as it were, virtually closed by
the three strategic lines of powerful forts on arti
fetal islands. Now, in order to reach St
Petersburg the English men-of-war would have
to pass between these forts. By device of our
own we may concentrate the fire Of at least a
hundred cannons at any time and on any point
of those channels. AS have said already, we
might easily sink there the combined feet OF all
Europe. The cannon we have there are of the
heaviest and best make in existence. Some of
them could welcome the English with half ton
cannon balls Our men-of war might also stand
between those forts and act as forts. Besides
all that, each channel there is closed by tor
pedoes. / hope you see now that is is quite i'm
possible for the English to pass Cronstadt and to
reach our capital. Besides Cronstadt we have
those other excellent coast fortresses, such as
Sveaborg and Vyborg. The whole coast of the
Finn bay is guarded by torpedoes. No. no, the
English would have to keep at respectable
distance from Cronstadt"
But suppose the English fleet should enter
the Black sea. Would not the Crimean war be
repeatedr asked the reporter
