THE FARNSWORTH MURDER.
Arrest of Two Men Who Are Charged with
Committing the Crime.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENvILLE, O., April S.-The two men sup
posed to be the murderers of George Farusworth
were captured last evening, at their homes, a
few miles from Mt. Healthy, twelve miles this
side of Cincinnati, by Sheriff Lecklider and
Prosecuting Attorney Clark who left yesterday
morning in pursuit of them. Their names are
Samuel Morrison and Ephram Buel, aged re-
spectively twenty eight and thirty years The
latter is single and the former married, having
two or three children. They do not deny being
the persons who helped Farnsworth move to
Roseville. They were willing to surrender, but
declared they were innocent of the charge At
about o'clock this afternoon they were placed
in the Darke county jail. Two or three hun
dred persons were out on the street to see them.
AS to the charge and their actions, they state,
in substance, as follows: ''On Saturday
night all three retired early; Morrison and Buel
slept up stairs together, and Farnsworth down
stairs. Early on Sunday morning they awoke
and got up, the hour being half past o'clock.
Farnsworth and Morrison prepared breakfast,
while Buel fed the horses. They started from
Farnsworth's house about o'clock, shaking
hands with him at the front door and leaving
him TO wash the dishes, as he requested them to
do. The last they of him was when they
were moving off; he was then going to the stable
with a lantern. One of the knives found had
been borrowed from Farnsworth on Saturday
night to mako shavings for fire. They
heard of the murder on Tuesday morn
ing. by the newspaper reports, and
through friend of Buel's. They were
much surprised and expected to be arrested.
One of the men said that he had the same suit
of clothes on that he wore Sunday, but the
other had made change at home. The lamp
they used was left sitting on the floor, up
stairs.
The sheriff says the men bear good reputa-
ton at their home. They knew all about Farms
worth's business circumstances, and appeared
very uneasy over their situation. The remains
of Farnsworth, attended by his brother, wife
and children, were transferred to Hamilton to-
day for burial He drank some, but as father
and citizen was kind and peaceful. The prison
ers will probably have hearing tomorrow
The talk of Farnsworth's suicide has ceased,
and all the circumstances point to the accused
as the guilty persons

HIS NOMINATION IN 1868.
Senator Hawley's RecolIections of the Re

Senator Hawley's Recollections of the Re-
publican National Convention.
Washington Special.
Senator Hawley was asked for some remi-
niscence Of the Republican national convention
of 1868, and General Grants first nomination
for the presidency. He gave the following: "At
the Republican national convention of 1868, all
who were present will remember the absolute
unanimity and enthusiasm with which General
Grant received his first formal nomination for
the presidency 1t was with difficulty that the
convention could be restrained and confined to
the regular orderly proceedings, for the vast
multitude seemed determined to anticipate the
proceedings and nominate the General with one
great shout, while those who desired more i'm
pressive and effective proceeding restrained all
Irregularities, and in due course of things the
names Of every State and territory were. called,
and the leader of each delegation
formally gave its full vote for Ulysses
S. Grant, each successive announcement
being received with roll of applause, and at the
summing of the whole, the convention breaking
Into a tremendous and overwhelming demonstra-
ton that died away and rose again for many
minutes. 1t was but recording the unanimous
wish of the party; it was result which no man
contrived and which no man could have pre-
vented. AS president OF the convention, it be-
came my duty to lead the committee that was
instructed to proceed to Washington and form
ally notify the General.
'Arriving in Washington the committee re-
quested me to call upon the General and ask him
for his wishes concerning the more formal pro-
ceedings. The late Senator Ferry of Connecti-
cut, accompanied me. General Grant received
US with his usual quiet and simple cordiality,
aud we sat with him for possibly an hour in his
library. The arrangements for the next day
were easily made, but the General seemed in

glad to listen. Some of his expressions / re-

RAwUL-PINDEE, April S.-The grand durbar
in honor of the Ameer, to-day, was a great sue
cess and presented brilliant and impressive
scene. The Viceroy sat upon dais, with the
Ameer upon his right hand, and the Duke OF
Connaught upon his left. After valuable pres
ents had been offered, the Ameer, in a brief
speech, acknowledged his obligations to
the Queen and Viceroy for the many
favors extended him, and stated that he
would render every service in the power of his
army or his people. AS the British had promised
to help the Afghans beat off any external ene-
miles, the .Afghans would in the frmest manner
stand side by side with the British against the
common enemy. The Viceroy presented the
Ameer with magnificent sword, and the Ameer,
in accepting the weapon, said he hoped.to strike
herewith an enemy of Great Britain. The
Ameer was we'll satisfied with the ceremonies.

Grants Love for Horses.

Carp, in Cleveland Leader.
Grants love for horses is q matter of history.
He was fine horseback rider as a boy, at his
little country home in Georgetown, o., through
which he loved to ride standing on his bare feet
on sheepskin tied to the back of his horse
The only thing he really exceed in at West
Point was his riding. He was the most daring
rider of the school, and in jumping the bar the
officers who were accustomed to hold the bar
over which the horses were to 90 as low as their
waists for the others, put it up even with and
above their heads when it was Grants turn to
Jump. He saved his life in Mexico by his riding
abilities by throwing himself at the side instead
of staying on the back of his horse, and when he
was in the White House his horses were the won
Ger of Washington.
Grants Arabian horses are, | think, on Gen.
Beale's farm, near Washington. They were
given him by the Sultan while he was in Turkey,
in 1878. The Sultan had taken him over his
palaces and grounds and finished up with his
stables. He had his attendants show off his
finest horses, and asked Grant to pick out the
finest for himself, telling him he would make
him present of it, Grant at first was re-
luctant to accept so valuable present, but one
of the Sultans officers interposed, telling him
he would offend his Majesty by refusal. He
then selected dapple gray Arabian steed, and
the Sultan formally presented it to him. The
Sultan afterward sent it to him at New York,
adding to his present another Arabian as black
as jet and as magnificent in form as the one
Grant had chosen. The two horses arrived in
New York in the latter part of the following
year. and sporting men admired them greatly.
They were taken to q blacksmith shop to be
shod and many persons came to see them, try
ing TO buy their old shoes, or even the nails, as
mementoes. When the horses were taken from
the boat to the stables, one Of them kicked q
spoke from a carriage which they passed, and it
cost Grant $l2 to pay damages.

Governor Longs Beautiful Tribute.

BosToN. Mass. April s.-At the opening of
the soldiers carnival Ex-Governor Long made
the following beautiful allusion to General
Grant:
''The hero of Appomattox is at this hour win
ming another victory-a greater victory than
that which crowned the war of which he was the
genius-the victory over death and over the un-
bounded love and affection of SO, 900, 900 people
alike the people he led and the people he over
came-al now leaning in hushed expectancy to
catch his last whisper, and dropping flowers
from their outstretched hands. 1t is the same
calm face, the same iron will, the same un-
fiinching persistence, even unto the end-the
same sure, quiet conquering This is not death
1t is for him the Easter of risen and glorified
life And as the great, gentle soul of Grant
goes up, without fear and without reproach,
what filter accompaniment can we give to bear
it aloft than our benefaction to his comrades in
arms-the men whose captain he was and who
will not fear again to follow where he leads

Rumor that Battle Has Been Fought.
LONDON, April 9.-The Standard has received
telegram in cipher from a correspondent in
Russia, stating that a battle has been fought
on the Murgahb river and that it is
reported that 500 men were killed.
The dispatch was sent in cipher in order to
escape the vigilance of the Russian censors, and
the Standard, therefore, refrains from mention
ing its source but says it is entitled to the high
est credit. The Standard assumes. from the
origin of the telegram, that the Russians were
defeated but is not certain.

How the General Thought He Was Making
Money.

New YORK, April 8.-The trial of James D.
Fish, formerly president of the Marine Bank,
was continued to-day Mr.. Fish was again on
the stand and narrated conversation he had
with General Grant in the latter part of May,
1883. Mr.. Fish said: II called at the Office of
Grant & Ward one morning to SEQ Mr.. Ward.
l met General Grant outside the Office, and
asked him how was the business of the concern.
He told me it was first rate, and said he thought
he had made more money during the year than
any other house in Wall street, or perhaps in
New York city. He said he thought Mr.. Ward
was the ablest young business man he had ever
seen. I asked him, also, if he ever looked at the
books, and he told me no. He looked over his
monthly statement, which was satisfactory to
him"

An Unfolding Character.

New York Commercial Advertiser
When General Grant was making the tour of
the world he greatly surprised his countrymen
by the fuency of his speech. The "silent man.
developed into ready and pleasing talker, and
his apt and lively observations on men and
affairs were a revelation to those who had pre-
viously regarded him merely as an impassive,
almost stolid, soldier. 1t was a gratifying dis
covery, but with it there came no other change
IN his demeanor. Always selfcontained and ap-
parently unimpressionable, General Grants self
command was uniform that most observers
set him down as person of very limited feeling.
Trial and suffering have shown another
phase of this remarkable man. The iron will at
last is bending, and he is dying not solely of the
fell disease which sooner or later would have
killed him, but of crushed and broken spirit.
The doctors say the shocks he has sustained, and
not the cancers alone, are killing the foremost
American soldier. He is perishing as woman
might perish whose heart was broken with grief.
And this through fault of his own, but be-
cause of trustful confidence in human nature
which, to the skeptical, may seem like fatuity,
but the exhibition of which, after ALL draws our
hearts nearer to him who shows it. and makes
us cherish better, even while we are compelled
by the cause to entertain worse, opinion of
human nature. Our last glimpses of General
Grants inward traits show us assuredly not the
least noble side of his strongly marked char
acter.
