THE DIAMoND-THIEvEs ARRESTED.
Detective Thornton Traces Them to the
Southern Part of This State.

Detective Ben Thornton. of the Metropolitan
force will reach this city this morning with
Philip Coup and his alleged wife, Nellie Coup,
the woman who stole s., 500 worth of diamonds
from the residence of John W. Murphy. week
ago last Saturday. Thornton has been at work
the ever since the robbery occurred. At
first he was led to believe that the thieves went
to Cincinnati, and last Monday he went to that
cit in search OF them Unable to find any trace
of them there, he returned to look for them in
another direction. About the middle OF the
week he learned that the trunk the Coups had
went out on the Indianapolis & Vincennes rail
road. With considerable difficulty he traced it
to Washington, and t6eu notified the marshal
of that town to be on the lookout for
the parties On Friday Thornton received q
telegram from the marshal, stating that Coup
had been in Washington, but the day before
bought round-trip ticket for Vincennes. The
telegram further stated that Comps divorced
wife resided in Vincennes. and recommended
that an officer be sent to that city at once. The
detective left for Vncennes the first train,

and who is charged with stealing the diamonds.
She was taken TO Vincennes, where Coup was
placed In Jail until the detective could bring both
prisoners here.
The message received from Thornton does
not state anything about the diamonds. Super

IT BROUGHT THE PEOPLE OUT DOORS.
Balmy Spring Weather Gives Bright Sun
day Which Every body Enjoyed

Yesterday was one of the most delightful DAYS
of the season, in spite of few drawbacks, prin-
cipaly dust, which the stiff breeze that prevailed
all day sent flying in all directions. The
churches were largely attended in the morning,
the streets from 10 to IL o'clock being fairly
lined with people Fastening to the different
places of worship. New spring suits, spring
bonnets, and warm weather wearing apparel of
all kinds were to be everywhere. The
main thorouehfares of the city, Washington,
Illinois. Meridian and their immediate vicinity
were crowded all day by all classes of people.
But gorgeous as was the display of spring
millinery. it was outdone q hundredfold by
nature, in the effect of the warm sunshine on
fruit and other lowering trees. The sudden
jump from cold to warm weather-from win ter
TO summer. IL might be said-within the past
forty-eight hours, has produced a marvellous
