The Hendricks Monument.

Chicago Times OF Yesterday.
Judge j. A. Holman, of indianapolis Ind.
was at the Palmer House yesterday. Judge
Holman is the Secretary OF the Hendricks
Monument Committee, of Indiana. He
stated yesterday that the prospects of receiv-
ing sufficient subscriptions for the mOnu.
ment were decidedly promising. There had
already been received a large number OF
small subscri ptions, which would aggregate
a large sum, and the various organizations
which have had charge of subscrip-
tions will swell the amount con-
siderably. He thought the committee
would not adhere TO its original design
of closing the subscription books on May l.
there were number of cities interested
in the work of collecting, which were some
what late IN getting started, and would prob
ably desire more time. At present. he
thought, there was between 50, 900 and SO.
600 promised, and guarantees which would
increase the total sum far beyond the latter
amount. The committee desired to collect
at least 100000, if possible, but would not
allow the matter to drag along for an in
definite period if there seemed to be any
difficulty in reaching that amount. Indi-
ana. Missouri and Kentucky had been
very active in the movement, and
Washington City, with its two
working committees, had done most excel.
lenily. He was particularly pleased with
the TACT that majority OF the Subscriptions
came from the working people, and though
small in individual amounts, gave ample evil
dence of the regard IN which Mr.. Hendricks
was held by those for whom he labored most.
The total number of subscribers thus far was
about 25, 000 and while there were several
gentlemen who had given $1,000, the ma
jority of the sums subscribed were not
over twenty-five or fifty cents. w. w. Cor
coran, of Washington, gave $780, and Senator
Payne, of Ohio, had put himself down Tor
$780, As far as Chicago was concerned,
Judge Holman had no fears of excellent re-
suits. With such men as Melville T.. Fuller,
S. S. Gregory, Charles Kern, Erskine NJ.
Phelps, and other representative citizens, a
good return must certainly be received by
the committee OF course the serious illness
of Mr.. Gregory, President of the Iroquois
Club, had tended to delay matters somewhat,
but Chicago, he thought, would be most salts
factoriIy heard from when the time came No
attempt had yet been made TO secure de-
signs, and no definite idea of design had
been considered by the committee. There
was no doubt, however that funds enough
would be raised to build such monument
as would be credit to the State and fit.

A. PAINLESS LYNCHING.
Graham, the Springfield Murderer, Took Nor
phins Before Quitting thsPnsol.
He Filled His Mouth With Tobacco that
Had Been Saturated With the Liquid.
[specisl to Inter Ocean.l

lcPCItdA ~ AAtCA ONtdA-i
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, April 2S.-The remains
OF George E. Graham were given an ignomi-
NOUS interment to-day. They were placed
in pine coffin. put in an ordinary delivery
wagon, and with no other attendant than
the driver were taken to the county burial
ground and hidden from view in a shallow
grave in the potters field. 1t was a desolate
consignment of the remains of human be-
ing, but remembering the cowardly and
heartless burial which he gave his wife, the
community has no regrets to offer for the al
most brutal disposition of the body of the
intellectually brilliant wretch whose viIlainy
has for two months past been the talk of the
continent
An interesting and startling incident has
come to light relative to the manner of
Graham'S death. When his cell was invaded
on Monday night and he was informed by
by the vigilants that they were not playing
game of bluff he asked to be permitted to
take chew of tobacco before his hands
were tied, and they consented, and reaching
beneath the pillow on his bunk he drew
forth a piece of navy about two inches
square, and with his teeth tore off half of it,
entirely filling his mouth. 1t has now de-
veloped that this tobacco was
SATURATED WITH MORPHINE
and that the trick was not discovered by the
four masked men who were with him in the
wagon until lie was so completely under its
influence as to be almost UNCONSCIOUS. This
was the cause of the hurried stopping at the
outskirts of the city instead of continuing to
the Mccoy farm, three miles distant, which
was understood to be the destination when
the mob left the Jail.
1t is also now quite certain that Graham
made no statement beneath the tree. Doug
lass, the jail guard who testified at the IN
quest, states that he did not hear the re-
marks attributed to Graham but was told
that he said so by one of the lynchers.

Dallas, Tex, Special.
The State Medical Convention, which has
been in session three days, adjourns to-mor-
row. The attendance was full and the pro-
ceediDgs of the usual routine sort, embracing
discussions of local medical advancement
and professional interests The most remark
able paper read was one by DIR. Briggs of
Fort Worth, who cited a case of a patient
who was bitten by the deadly Texas tarantu-
Ia and was cured by DR.. Briggs by the appli-
cation of liquid made from the bugle weed
He said: my attention was first called to
this plant by DR. w. II. Cooke, of BOnham
Texas, who received his information from
the remnant Of the Cherokee Indians
left in the mountains of North Carolina
and East Tennessee. Any one who
has attended the fairs and other
gatherings held throughout Georgia, Ten
nessee and Kansas during the egress of the
Indians from that country doubtless remem-
her that on such occasions there were many
Indians who would with impunity allow the
poisonous rattle-snake TO bite them. 1t was
observed that in order to counteract the ef-
fects of the poisonous reptile they mast;-
Gated large quantities of bugle weed aud swal-
lowed the juice. That the bugle weed was
the identical weed used at the time | have
absolute proof. | am not aware that there is
any Literature upon this valuable plant out
side OF a vague and indefinite account in the
United States Dispensatory and in the more
recent editions it is numbered among the un-
officials. Having investigated so far as lay
in my power the history of the plant, pro-
cured it and made use OF il at the first oppor.
tunity."
The case has excited great interest, and now
the terror of scorpions, tarantulas and cent?
pedes is no more.
