AN IMPOLlTE HUSBAND
Shoots a Man for Calling on His
Wife,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 25.-
When John Clemens went to his home
in the southern part of the city about
$3.50 tonight and opened the door, he
found his wife and P. B. L. Nowland
sitting together in the room. NowIand,
as Clemens entered the room, made a
movement to strike the latter, owhen
Clemens drew revolver and fired
twice, both bullets striking in vital
parts and causing immediate death.
This is the story of the killing as told
by Clemens, who is under arrest. Now
land was cOmpOSitor and son of j.
II. B. Nowland, an old and well known
resident of the city.
Mrs. Clemens, who is also under r
rest, first denied any knowledge of
Nowland. but after telling variety of
stories, finally broke down and con-
feSSed that she had been criminally in
innate with Nowland. The pair spent
the earlier part of the night in visiting
winerooms in the neighborhood, after
which they returned to the Clemens
house. When Clemens came home he
found the door locked. He was admitted
by his wife, who concealed Nowland in
rear room. Clemens greeted his wife
affectionately and took a seat, and the
tragedy might have been averted had
not Nowland in some way made a noise.
which attracted the attention of Glenn
ems. The latter rose on hearing the
noise, and Nowland, seeing he was dis
covered, came from the rear room
toward the room in which Clemens
stood. The latter drew revolver and
fired twice, with the result above stated.
NOwland was a married man, about
forty years old. His wife is a daughter
of John B. Glover, once auditor of the

THE MISER DIED,
And Failed to Tell Where He Lad
Hidden His Money.

PITTsBURG, March ga Uniontown
special says Samuel Humbert, who was
one of the victims of the same gang
who raised the reign of terror at Nc
Clellandtown, died at Fair Chance last
last night. He was eighty years old,
has been miser, and is supposed to
have had large sum of money saved
and stored away somewhere, being dis
truStful of banks. This fact led to his
capture in his house near Fair Chance
one night last summer by the robbing
gang, who burned his feet with candles
and held him over fire, using every
device conceivable to force him to
disclose where his wealth was hidden
but in vain. The old man never fully
recovered from the shock thus received,
and heart disease was the cause of his
death. Rather than touch his hoard he
allowed his house at Fair Chance to be
sold by the sheriff a month ago. He
knew death was staring him in the face
for the past week, and several times
was on the point of disclosing its hid
ing place, once going so far as to say it
was put away in box, but became
choked up and could go no further.
When he was gasping in the throes of
death last night he tried to tell his at
tendant, but had only gasped "Bob,
the box is" when he was seized with
a choking fit and died. His relatives
are now hunting for the concealed treas
ure.

dragged her to a cliff near by and
dropped her over it to the rocks below.
Shortly afterwards the woman recovered
sufficiently to give an alarm which was
heard by men setting out cross ties, who
went to her assistance, accompanied by
Woods, who professed entire ignorance
of the matter. She was conscious and
related the story of the shooting, accus-
ing Woods of being her assassin. When
she had finished her narrative Mrs.
Woods expired. The only known cause
for the crime was disagreement between
Woods and his stepmother about the
division of property belonging to his
father. Woods is now in Jail.

THE WORST CONFIRMED.
Harriet Beecher Stowe Is Hone.
lessIy Insane.

Hartford, March 25.-It is now
about six months since Harriet Beecher
Stowe was brought as an invalid from
Sag Harbor to this city. Mrs. Stowe
went early last season to Sag Harbor TO
spend the summer. For a time she
seemed benefited by the change, but
for several weeks before she returned
to Hartford her life was despaired of.
Every one supposed that the renowned
authOress of "Uncle Tom'' had but
by many of her near friends her
life was measured by days. Only the
care of her physician and the attentive
nursing of her children brought her
through her illness. But Mrs. Stowe
finally recovered of her ailments and is
seemingly now in as good health as she
has been ever of late years. The true
mental condition of Mrs. Stowe, al
though well known here in Hartford, is
seldom alluded to. 1t is, however,
Iact that Mrs. Stoves mind is shat
tered, and she is, at best. in intelleetu-
ality now but mere child. Her friends
will not say. that she is insane, nor that
she is an imbecile, but her mind is
is that OF baby. When former dear
friends visit her, people whom she
has known for years, she greets them
with vacant stare, so indicative
symptom of cases of that kind. Of
course Mrs. Stoves relatives view all
this with feeling Of dismay, but they
have now become reconciled to the
change, and her whims are treated with
the utmost tenderness. For some time
it was given out that Mrs. Stowe did
not recognize her friends because of
failing eyesight, but this excuse is no
longer alluded to, and the fact that she
is now no longer mentally capable is
recognized by every one. 1t was also
for long time thought to be an attri-
butte of genius when Mrs. Stowe showed
these idiOsyncrasies. but the genius
which made "Uncle Toms Cabin" the
most popular book of the century, has
departed. The father of Mrs. Stowe,
Rev. Lyman Beeeher, passed the clos
ing years of his life with a cloud rest
ing over his mind. His symptoms were
greatly similar to those which now af-
f1ict Mrs. Stowe.

LYDECKERs COURT MARTIAH
Opening of the Aqueduct Case
With Due Pomp.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-The trial

army engineer corps, began at IL
o'clock this morning before court mar
tial at the war department. The courG

president. and dozen or more army
and engineer officers. George B. Davis
is judge advocate. Maj. Lydecker and
all the members of the court were in
full uniform and presented an impos-
ing appearance. The defendant was
represented by ex-Gov. Boutwell,, of
Massachusetts, and John f. Swift. of
Detroit, Mich. The morning was
principally occupied in reading the
charge and specifications and adj
vertisementS pertaining to the
tunnel contract. There is one
charge, namely, neglect of duty
to the prejudice of good order and
military discipline in violation of the
specifications charge Maj. Lydecker
with not giving proper attention to the
supervision of the work of constructing
the Washington aqueduct, thus causing
a serious delay in furnishing the city
with increased water facilities intended
by congress and great pecuniary loss to
the United States. Maj. Lydecker
pleaded not guilty to the charge and
to each of the specifications.
Lieut.. Townsend, who assisted Maj.
Lydecker, was the only witness eXanl-
ined to-day. He described at length
the system OF inspection. ''When the
work was closed" he said, Mai.
Lydecker and myself spent two days
going through the tunnel inspecting it,
and on that inspection the money was
paid. There were no special tests APP
piled, for everything appeared to be
correct. There were number of pieces
of bad work discovered. We discovered
very serious piece of bad work
about July of last year. We found
drypacking and cavities, and the sub
inspector in that heading and the fore
man and laborers were discharged. The
character of the work seemed to be uni
formly good, and at that time it was
not possible to apply tests that have
since been made. They are new dis
covery. Maj. Lydecler examined the
reports very carefully, and he made a
number of visits to the tunnel" Lieut..
Townsend did not finish his testimony
at o'clock, when the court adjourned.
The inquiry will be resumed at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.

Naval Omcers DispIeased.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-No little
dissatisfaction is felt among naval Off
GERS over the details Of the programme
for the Iteration of the Washington
inaugural centennial in New York next
month. According to the programme,
the army and navy are to figure promi-
nently in the demonstration. Maj. Gen.
SchOfield, the highest commanding gen.
eral of the service, has been selected to
take charge of the military forces, and
against that selection no criticism is
made. But the naval officers complain
that their branch of the service, which
will make an exhibition of particular
interest because of its comparison of
the old and new navy. has been placed
in charge of a retired army officer.
They argue that naval officer of the
highest rank should have been chosen
to match the selection of Maj. Gen.
Schotield. and they have begun an agi-
tation to have Admiral Jouett replace
the retired army officer in command of
the naval demonstration.
