MURDERAND SUICIDEIN MADISON COUNTY
Ethan A. Maynard Kills William H. Biddle
and Then Takes His Own Life
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

ANDERSON, Nov. pa double tragedy oc-
Cured ten miles north of the city, to-day, in
which Ethan A. Maynard, farmer shot and in
stantly killed William H. Biddle and then took
his own life Bidde came to this county from
located upon Maynards farm, the houses occu-
pied by the two families being situated within
few rods of each other. A criminal intimacy
sprung up between Maynard and Mrs Blddle,
and about four weeks ago the latter left her hus
band, at the instigation of Maynard it is claimed,
and is now at Dalevlle, Delaware county.
Mrs. Biddle is in an interesting condition, too,
and alleges that Maynard is the father of her
unborn child. Recently she Instituted bastardy
proceedings against him, and the preliminary
trial of the case was had in this city last Friday,
when Maynard was recognized to the Circuit
Court in bonds of $500 Biddle had also begun
proceedings against him for seduction and for
being the means of spiliting his wife away.
These proceedings engendered bad blood be-
tween Maynard and the Biddle family,
and the former has repeatedly threat
ened to kill Biddle. About four
weeks ago Maynard purchased revolver
and yesterday he remarked to his wife that if
he could he would 'shoot Biddle's daylghts
out" This forenoon Biddle and his fourteen
year old son were husking corn in field close
by the house, and Maynard walked down to
where they were. He approached Biddle from
the rear unobserved, and when within few
feet of him pulled his revolver and began firing.
Five shots were fired into the body of the de-
fenseless man, and he died almost instantly.
Two balls entered his back, one at the hip one
over the left temple, and the fifth one
passed through his wrist. Biddle's little
boy, frightened at the bloody scene,
started to run towards the house. crying, and
the sixth ball that the chamber of the weapon
contained was sent whizzing after him, but
luckily failed to take effect Maynard then
walked back to his residence, but a few rods
from where his victim lay, and, reloading his
revolver, went to his barn, and, placing the
muzzle Of the weapon at his right temple, fired
He died a half an hour afterwards, without
speaking.
The whole affair occurred within few min
utes, and in sight of Maynards wife, who is
almost wild with grief. Intense excitement pre-
walls in the neighborhood whore the shooting
occurred, and public sympathy is with Biddle.
Biddle was forty-two years old, and leaves eight
children. whose ages range from two to twelve
years. Maynard was about twenty-eight years
Of age and leaves widow.

The Austro-Hungarian Feeling.

PEsTH, Nov. 22.-The budget committee of
the Austrian delegation, in mailing its report on
the foreign estimates, alludes to what it calls
1.-The universal disapproval of General Kaulbars's
arbitrary interference, compared with the wise
Ind moderate attitude of the Bulgarian" Re-
felring to the speeches made by the Emperor
Francis Joseph and Count Kalnoky on Austria's
foreign relations. the committee declares that
"Austrians are ever ready to make any sacrifice
when the honor of the monarchy has to be de-
Tended, but are grateful that they enjoy the
blessings of peace" The committee further
says it reioices over Count Kalnoky's statement
that in foreign affairs the confidence which
Austria enjoys is fortified by the clear and un-
selfish policy of the government, and that it is
grateful that Austras relations with Germany
have been strengthened, without affecting her
friendly relations with Russia. Allusion is made
to the accord and identity of interests between
England and Austria in many important points,
and reference is made to the fact that Austria
expects to reach an understanding with Italy
which will prove mutually advantageous and in
the interests of peace The committee applauds
and approves Count Kalnoky's efforts to AMIGA
bly, settle the questions pending with Russia. and
hopes they may succeed, and expresses confidence
that Count Kalnoky will safely guard the inter
eSts of the Montenegrlns

THE HARMLESS MR.. SCHUYLER,
Who Scared the President at Albany, Turns
Up in New York.

New YORK, Nov 22-The News says that
while President Clevelands carriage was waiting
for him at the curb the President having fol-
lowed the remains Of ex-President Arthur into
the Grand Central Depot, a young man dressed
in faded coat, fastened across the breast by a
wooden pin, and wearing a faded broad hat,
worked his way through the police lines and
stepped upon the wheel beside the driver and
reporter. Handing his card to the reporter, he
said: ''Will you please give this to Mr. Cleve-
land and tell him | won't hurt him!" The re-
porter read the card and saw the name Nathan
Schuler, Rondout n. Y.n 1t was the crank who
was arrested at the Albany bi-centennial for an
alleged attempt upon the life of the President

did not want to shoot him. l am friend of his
and l would not hurt him. Please give him
that card, and tell him so, will you!
Here the Presidents face appeared at the New
York Central Depot door, and Schuler became
more importunate An officer pulled him away
from the carriage, and he ran around to the
other side and tried to climb upon the seat. Su-
perintendent Murray's attention was called to
him, and he sent Detective O'Conuor after him,

that Nugent is the one jury man who stands out
for acquittal. 1t has been stated during the
trial that Nugent would never vote to convict.
He is said to have violent prejudice against in

prisoned on the testimony of informers who
were in the pay of the government Nugent is a
very old man, and rather cranky.

leaving, asked the German consul to protect Rus
sian subjects. The consul, after consulting his
government replied that he was willing to pro-
tect genuine Russians, but not Montenegrins or
Bulgarians. This implies Germanys censure of
Russia's protection of the Zankoff and other con-
spirators The Czar instructed General kaul-
bars to conide Russian subjects to the care of
France. The fact that the Russians in Bulgaria
have been placed under French protection is re-
garded in European capitals as signifying that
the triple alliance is dead. 1t is asserted that
Count Kalnoky's second decisive statement con-
cerning the close nature of the Austro German
alliance was directly suggested by Prince Bis
marck as hint to Russia.
NJ Karaveloff and M. Zankoff will soon leave
Sofa. They have already obtained Russian
passports.
Austrian diplomates and officials believe that
the rupture between Russia and Bulgaria will
facilitate the solution of the crisis in the
Balkans. 1t is thought that the powers will dis
approve of any precpitate action respecting the
proposed election of Prince Nicholas, of Min
grelia, to the Bulgarian throne.

AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
Cleveland, Detroit and Kansas City Want to
JOin-1he lIatter's Liberal Proposition.

CINo1NNArI, Nov % The American Base
ball Association is holding a special meeting
here to-day to take some action upon the with
drawal of the Pttsbure club from the associa-
tion. There are present representatives
from Louisville, Baltimore, Philadelphia
Brooklyn, New York. st. Louis and
Cincinnati, with President Wikoff in
the chair. Messrs. e. E. Mengus and David
Rowe are here from Kansas City; P. j. Walsh
and William Bromwell, from Cleveland. and
Mr.. Watkins, from Detroit. From these three
points it is expected the association will choose
successor to the Pittsburg club. The session is
with closed doors
Messrs. Williams and Walsh, of the Cleveland
:luh, were admitted to make their proposition
For membership Mr. Williams assured the
association that the Cleveland club had ample
financial backing to insure solvency, and that
no loss would accrue to the Association from its
membership The application was then taken
under consideration
After the noon recess, the Kansas City club,
through its representatives. rather startled
everybody by not only rendering their club for
membership, but in order to silence the com
Dlaint of its iucouvenient geographical location
bv offering to pay the railroad fare of all clubs
playing at Kansas City from ST. Louis to Kan
9ns City and return and in addition TO all that,
pay to the Association S., 600 for the franchise.
When this proposition had been delivered and
explained by the Kansas City representatives,
there was consideration in executive session,
but no conclusion has yet been reached. De-
troit, up to the close of the afternoon session,
had not made any proposition at all. The delay
in taking action is probably to give Detroit time
to agree upon course OF action

ARather sensational storv.

LONDON, Nov. 22-An extraordinary dispatch
appears in the Dublin Nation. the property of
Lord Mayor Sullivan, in the form of special cor
respondence from Vienna The explanation of
its appearance in the Nation Is said in Dublin to
be that the information is derived from an &C.
clesiasticaI source. The correspondent alleges
that European coalition against Russia has
been concluded, and even gives details of the
Joint action as fully decided upon. The allies
are England. Austria, Hungary, Italy and Ger
many. If Russia should declare war, the plan
of action is for Austria to occupy the south of
Hungary and Servia. the English and Austrian
and Italian fleets to occupy the Black sea, while
Germany makes ready half million men to
watch the Polish frontier, and come to the res
cue in case of an Austrian defeat If Turkey
joins the coalition her integrity will be guaran-
teed, and the cost of her armaments will be
paid; if Turkey joins Russia, attempts to
close the Bosphorus, the Balkan States and
Greece will be supported by an Austrian army
from Bosnia in sweeping the Turks out of Eu-
rope. If France joins Russia, million Germans
will cross the frontier and two hundred thou
sand Italians will watch the Alps. The reward
of Italy will be the restoration of Nice and Savoy.
