The Bishop M urder Case Ends In q Verdict OF
Manslaughter.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
TERRE HAUTE. July 16-The Bishop murder
trial came to an end to-day by the finding of a
verdict of guilty of mansaughter, with punish
ment Of fourteen years in the penitentiary. The
case has attracted more than the attention ordi-
nariy given to the crime of wife-murder in the
lower order of society, owing. principally. to the
amount of sympathy and sentiment with which
the counsel for tine Defense Judge c. F. McNutt,
has managed to surround the murderer Bishop
married Jennie Phipps last fall, knowing that
she was q woman of the town. One night, two
MONTH ago. they quarreled. the dispute growing
out of his jealousy. In the night he awose, and
found she had gone from the house. He care
fully loaded his pistol, and went in search, tell
ing several persons that he would kill her and
himself. He found her at the house of a woman
with whom she lived before they were married
He sat with his arm around her, and begged her
to go home with him. She declined.
IF you won't live with me you shall never
live with another man." said he, as he drew his
pistol He held her with one hand and used the
other to send bullet into her brain, killing her
instantly The defense sought to show that, al
though she was depraved woman and he a bad
man in some things, yet he was trying to do right
by her. and that his love for her was strong
as that of any husband for a wife, and that In
the bitterness of his grief at her wrong doing he
was not possessed of his faculties when he COM
mitted the deed. So strongly was this extreme
phase of the affair brought out that the jury re
fused to find him guilty of murder in the first
degree and returned verdict as stated above.
The result has caused much comment on the
inconsistency of punishments inflicted in the
Vigo court during the past ten years A horse
thief recently pleaded guilty and got fourteen
years Dr. Humphries was proven fully as guilty
of murder as Bishop and got two years. Mrs.
Hall deliberately murdered her husband and
by some means managed to escape Indictment
by the grand jury. Perry Manis pleaded guilty
to the murder OF Susan Nelson when only a
weak case of circumstantial evidence could have
been made against him, and got life sentence.

mysterious Poisoning of Seventy-Five Ladies
Who Were Entertained at Lunch.
1Decial to the Indianapolis journal
NATION, July 16-Yesierday afternoon, at
Charleston, Mrs. E. Fl. Wiley and Mrs Edwin
E. Crebs entertained a party of seventy Ave
ladies at a lawn party. All partook heartily of
a lunch, and went home at o'clock Three
hours later the town was in tumult, husbands
and fathers being in hurried search for DOCTORS
Everybody who had eaten at the lunch was
taken with severe vomiting spells, indicating
poisoning Twenty physicians could have found
employment had they been at hand. The
vomiting attacks usually continued for
several hours, being followed by no serious re-
suits The cause of the trouble is a mystery
Some attribute it to the ice cream, but perhaps
the greater number attribute it to the pressed
chicken that was served. The physicians have
had busy day. and smile to themselves at the
big column of fees they have added to their
ledgers. Mrs Wiley and Mrs. Crebs are deeply
mortified at the outcome, but of course no blame
is attached to them. A sample of the food will
be analysed by a competent chemist
The Hopes of Daring Mariners Blighted.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
NATION, July 16.-Two weeks ago there was
great rejoicing in Shelbyville over the launching
of steamboat on the KaskasKia river at that
point. The people were delighted because of
the resumption of navigation at their port after
''tie up of forty years. Preparations were
being made for regular excursion trips to
Vardalia and return, and Shelbyville people
were pleased to anticipate many moonlight
steamboat rides during the summer But their
hopes have been blasted. Captain Swinehart's
vessel drew too much water. Navigation was
only possible for a distance of three hundred
yards between the wagon and the railroad
bridges. One Of two things had to be- done,
either deepen the channe. of the picturesque
Kaskaskia or go elsewhere for deeper water. The
latter alternative has bean taken, and the
Daisy" has been taken to Litchfeld to ply on
the waters of Goose lake. Nayigation is
permanently closed at Shelbyvile.

The Kings Birthday.

The programme of events to take place on this
occasion are numerous, and if carried out ought
TO satisfy the greatest monarch earth on at
tanning pilgrimage of fifty years on this terres-
trial ball of dirt. Among the many notable
things announced, no mention seems to be made
of what kind of fluids are TO be in use-whether
sandpaper gin, Common whiskey, or the more
arstOcratic champagne, perhaps all will be called
into requisition, including gOodly supply of
"sEipes." There IS no reason to doubt that
should any of the numbers fail, the public can
rest assured that iirstclass conviyial time will
be one Of the prominent features of this festive
occasion.
The following Is the programme of events to
take place:-Tuesday, Nov. 18th, grand reception
and hookupu from 10 a. u, TO p. M, and in the
evening display of fire works and torch light
procession BY the Honolulu Fire Department;
Wednesday, 18th, regatta, commencing at a. m;
Thursday, 18th, historical procession from N.
base bali tournament from p. m, historical tab
leaux from p. m: Friday, 19th grand ball in the
evening; Tuesday, I'd, grand luau; Saturday 9th,

We await the outspoken voice of the men

There Is still too much Of the let slide
amongst those who ought to be up and

were supposed 10 represent them in the

Last week the GAZETTE renewed its for
mer challenge to the so-called Represent
tives OF Honolulu. to come forward and
make statement either IN justification or
defence of their parliamentary action. not
that It was IN the least degree probable
that they would themselves undertake so
suicidal a course. but that there seemed to
be some hope that so direct challenge
might be followed by action, if not by the
members by the constituency so
grievously misrepresented.
If the Representatives. as pointed out
last week. are IN the dilemma of justiica-
ton or admitted guilt, so also are the con
stituency in the dilemma of silent acqui-
essence with evils they abhor. or criminal
abstinence from repudiating them.
Once more the voters who disapproye
and condemn the Acts passed IN their name.
ought to summon public meeting and
emphatically record their protest.
Are our streets TO be paraded by process

workers. public funds spent on hulu-orgies,

The Generalissimo made few remarks, after
which a venerable kahunR finished the business in
true and ancient style. The ceremony of burying
the power of the bGolc being over, and the kahuna
pronouncing everything correct. the chief in COM

tincuished. and the poSSs marched into town in
total darkness. The only wonder is that some of
the spirits of the departed kamehamehas had not

hoathenish exhibition.

of the good men who labored for the advance

these should be found minglinS in any such
heathenish folly.

So SAMOA IS the next place that Hawaii
wishes to get hold on. The annexation
Of Ocean Island has been as blood to the
tiger. it has whetted his appetite and now
no barren island VIII satisfy the voracious
NAV: it must have peopled islands
Who Is II who Is putting this nonsense
into the mind of the Hawaiian? The an
swer Is not far to seek: the man Is none
other than Walter Murray Gibson, the
Minister OF everything. the man who leads
the King and every Hawaiian dependent
on him by the nose.
The Samoan business is the last link
that holds the present Minister of Foreign
Affairs where he is. He bangles it as q
prospective Empire; the Empire of the
Calabash," truly, before eyes that are too
easily dazzled.
Look at the matter IN practical light.
What can Hawaii expect to do. Her own
independence Is almost hourly threatened.
her Government Is patiently corrupt and is
known so to be in every country that cares
to think about Hawaii. She is rapidly be
coming an example of the utter failure OF
the very form of Government which her
Minister is trying to yaunt. Does the
Minister of Foreign Affairs think the rest
Of the world foolsi We do not believe it.
but we thoroughly believe that he thinks
those he is dealing with are fools and that
he plays upon their foibles.
The whole Pacific Ocean is being. or
practically has been parcelled out among
the nations Of Europe. France, Germany
and England ali understand one another
in this matter. Out of courtesy and good
feeling few spots have been left for
a few years longer, but as necessity
! arises even these viii be appropriated.
Now In the face of this the Minister
talks of kindred races, the mission OF Ha
waii, and draws pictures of future great
ness. 1t is his last card to keep his hold.
and he IS playing it for all it is worth
His proposal Is to put into Samoa, as the
representative of Hawaii, Mr. Greenbaum.
a man who has been dismissed by the
/ United States Government for being some

how can the true friends OF Hawaii regard
the possibility Of such an appointment
1t would mean endless trouble 4 sharp
intriguing fellow like this with the carte

King into giving him, might involve the
country In a most outrageous mess. The
