EVANSVILLE, Ind, July "Details of q
double murder and suicide at Decker's
school-house, twenty-three miles from

Turpin is well.to-do farmer in that
vicinity, and has wife and two children
aged three and five years. He left
the house early yesterday morning for his
farm, leaving his wife in excellent health
and spirits. About nine O'Clock some
farm-hands near the house were APP
preached by little girl who excitedly
said that Allie Turpin had her throat cut.
They at once started for the house, leaY-
ing one to go for Turpin. A most pitia-
BILE and horrible spectacle was presented
upon reaching the house. Allie, the
eldest, was lying on the bed dead,
with her throat cut from ear to ear, while
beside her lay the baby in the agonies of
death, while fnger-marks about its little
throat showed it had been strangled.
Mrs. Turpin was not to be seen anywhere,
and search was instituted for her,
resulting in the discovery OF her dead
body dangling to a cross-beami n the barn.
She had taken a plow-line, and, tying
it about her neck and the beam, had
climbed on a barrel and jumped off. Fur
ther search OF the house revealed razor
covered with blood under a bed, and
in the family Bible was found b note
to her husband written by Mrs. Tur-
pin, stating that she was weary Of
LIES troubles, and asked Asa not TO grieve
for her. Her two little ones, she said,
would go with her along deaths pathway,
SO that in years to come they would not
feel the stain and reproach caused by their
mothers rash act. Mrs. Turpin is be-
lieved to have been partially insane.

The Brotherhood Prepare a Statement
for the PubIic-Synopsis of the DOcu-
nent.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 9.-The officers
of the Brotherhood of Postal Clerks have
prepared a response to the statements of
Postmaster General Villas, in which they
say that the Postmaster General had
not kept his promise to them that re-
movals should only be made for cause;
that they were required to teach new men,
who were often promoted over them; that
old clerks we're removed for alleged political
work performed years before, while new
ones were given leave OF absence for the
same work. They object to removals
based upon secret charges with no oppor-
tunity of meeting them, and claim that
their or ganiza ton was founded for the good
and efficiency of the service. They state
that the brotherhood was not organized
in any spirit of insubordinatiOn or OBJ
struction, but was in the highest interests
of the postal service. They intended to
wait upon Mr. Villas with statement of
the objects they had in view, but before
an opportunity occurred large number
were hurriedly removed.

A PERlLOUS TRIP.

Foolhardy Cooper successfully Shoots
the whirlpool Rapids at Niegara-En-
eGsed in Stout, Oaken Barrel, He
Rolls Over and Over Through, the Seeth-
ing Waters, and Lands Without Serious
Injury Five Miles Down the River.
BUFFALO, n. Y, July livery few of
the thousands of persons who visited
Niagara falls yesterday had any idea that
another adventurous man would attempt
to pass through the whirlpool rapids in
which Captain Webb lost his life. Such an
attempt was made, however, at four
o'clock yesterday afternoon. and it was
successfully accomplished.
For some time past c. D. Graham, of
Buffalo, has been making preparations to
brave the rapids in a cask, but few per-
sons really believed that his courage would
hold out long enough for him to make the
trial. Graham's plan had been made
public, but the time at which it was to be
carried out kept secret among q few
friends. Accordingly there were few wit
nesses of the perilous act.
Graham kept the cask in which he in
tended to make his trip in a saloon in this
city. About eleven o'clock Saturday night
he loaded it in a wagon and, accompanied
by several friends, started for the falls.
They arrived there about four O clock yes
terday morning and unloaded the cask at
point on the American side of the river
below the falls and abou 800 rods above
the cantilever brio &c.
When every thing was ready Graham got
into the barrel and closed the manhoie at
the top. AT this point of the river the cur
rent is very slight. A small boat towed
the cask out into the river at q point
where the current would catch it. After
towing the cask a few minutes the stream
caught the cask and stal ted it toward the
whirlpool. At first it moved slowly down,
then faster and faster until the mad cur
rent dashed it on with its full force. The
cask bounded up and down over the great
waves and several times turned a com
plete somersault, but the wider portion re-
manned uppermost, although it turned
around like top. The cask kept pretty
well in the center. of the river until it
| reached the whirlpool, when it struck a
strong side current and was carried swiftly
through, reaching the waters beyond in
safety.
From this point the journey was com
paratively quiet. The cask was picked up
at lewiston, about five miles below the
starting point, and Graham crawled out
of the barrel with only slight bruise on
his arm. He remarked: "When l struck
the edd1es it was one continued round oil
jerks, but am not hurt bit" Graham
is a native of Philadelphia, thirty-threc
years old, and cooper by trade. He is a
poor man and did this thing for glory.
The cask in which Graham shot the rap
ids is seven feet long, thirty three inches in
diameter at the widest portion, twenty
three inches at the top and eighteen inches
at the bottom. 1t is bound around with
iron hoops which weigh $50 pounds. The
ballast which was attached to the cask to
keep it in position weighs 240 pounds.

terms, and threatened to hold HIM
responsible Tor all the evil results OF

STOLEN STAMPS

Burglars Raid the Minneapolis PoSt-cf3ce,
AMI Curry Away $4,000 Worth of
Stamps and 500 in Currency.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 10.-The post
Office was broken open Thursday night
and robbed of $4,000 in stamps and
500 in money.
Postmaster Laraway arrived in the city
on the early train from Lake Minnetonka
and was not aware of the robbery until
OF the post-officc was open all night.
and the safe-blowers had no diff
Guilty in opening the stamp window, where
where one of the men crawled through, and
opened the door from the inside. The
safe was near the window, but as the glass
was painted, they could not be seen
from the street. The work was that
of professionals. They drilled a
hole four inches into ths
safe between the handle and the combina-
ton and then picked the lock. Mr.. Lar
away estimates that there was about
$50, 300 in stamps in the safe, and
OF this amount $4,000 were taken,
they having left $4,000 in one
cent stamps. All the currency that was
taken in after five o'clock, amounting to
500, was taken. After the robbery they
made their exit through the door of the
office and took the -mail-carriers horse
and Hickey, Middemist & Taylors deliv-
cry wagon, and carted the Doodle off.
AS near as can be ascertained the
robbery was committed between one and
two o'clock. The ofiicedoes not employ q
Waterman. From the looks of the stamp
department they left in great haste,
having left several fine steel drills, a
large sledge-hammer and pick
axe, and also silk handkerchief
with mark on it which will be a clew fol
the detectives. at the time the robbery
was done heavy rain was falling, and no;
policeman could be found anywhere il
the neighborhood. The robbers went tc
st. Paul, and there left the horse and wag
on, which has been found by the police.
The work was undoubtedly done by pro-
fessional STAMP men" who know how tC
negotiate such property. If pressed, these
men are likely to lie quiet for awhile with
their ''stuff' planted until they find an
opportunity to get out. They ther
go to the large cities, dividing the
stamps into $50 or $10O amounts. They
know that large business firms are anx
ious to buy such amounts of stamps es
pecially if sold at slight discount. Ii the
burglars had gone few feet further they
would have found $4,000 more in
stamps besides 81, 900 to $4,000 in cash
