ACQUITTED OF MURDER.
An Influential Citizen Who Did Some Reck-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
MUNCIE, Ind, March 24.-The murder trial
of Andrew j. Hunter, q prominent and in
fluential citizen of Mt. Pleasant township,
Delaware county, which has been oc-
cupyIng the attention of the Cir
cult Court during the whole of
the past week, came to a
termination Saturday, the jury bringing in
verdict of acquittal. This case was
very peculiar one, and in brief was as fol-
lows: Last April James Blevins. ST., rented a
house of Mr. Hunter, agreeing to pay the
rent. amounting to So per month, in ad-
vance. He did this for two or three
months, but being. of very reckless
for whisky. Instead of ' liquidating dating
his honest debts, he soon fell far behind in
the payment of his rent: His refusal, or
tract led to trouble. and finally to a pitched
battle, in which Blevins and his boy were
pitted against Mr.. Hunter. In the melee
Hunter attempted to shoot the senior Bliv-
ins; but the bullet went wide of its mark,
standing beside his father. The ARRAY oc-
Cured Sept 10. 1888. The boy died on the
following morning At the cOroner's in
quest the evidence adduced was enough to
cause the arrest of Hunter, but he gave
DOnU IOr HIS appearance at court In the
mean time Hunter instituted surety of
peace proceedings against Blevins. who.
failing to give bond, was lodged in Jail,
where he has been for more than six
months. 1t was brought out in the trial
that Hunter participated in shooting
affray in the southern part of the State in
1861, in which one man was killed, but his
explanation of this affair completely ex-
Onerated him from any connection with it,
and he was acquitted of the charge by a
jury.
The verdict as rendered above in the re-
cent trial has caused some very unfavor-
able comment on the part of citizens, who
think Hunter deserved some punishment
for his reckless shooting, in which the life
of man was taken. Judge NJ. A. Chapman
of Anderson, occupied the bench during
the trial

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 2i.-Corporal Tan

Pensions, when asked what policy he would
pursue in dealing with the affairs of the
bureau, said: 81 can best answer that by
quoting one of General Harrison's remarks
made during the last campaign. He said:
Gentlemen, it is no time to use the apothe-
cary's scales when you come TO weigh the

motto for all the people of the United
States to adopt. Ii were asked to define

For three months the issuance of PEN

most suspended. Eight OF ten weeks since

regime, to begin anew the issu-

are eagerly watching tor their pittance

THE GIFT OF HYPNOTISnI.

experiments of an Alleged American Who Is
Astonishing the People of London.
Cable Special to Pittsburg Dispatch.
A gentleman named Fletcher invited
about thirty people to his house last night
to observe and question Mr.. Garmean, a
hypnotist who is just now the particular
and exclusive fad among people in search
OF entertainment after dinner. The guests
were selected with great deal Of care, and
1T seemed like thoroughly honest effort to
get at the bottom of Garmean's extraordi-
nary power. The hypnotist claims to be
German, though his name, manner and
appearance are thoroughly French. The
idea is prevalent, by the way, that he is an
American with pOlyglOtic accomplish
ments.
Some of his feats were extraordinary. 1t
should be borne in mind that the guests
were invited, and there was no attempt at
an exhibition formoney. During the even
ing, Garmean in illustrating the effect of
his will, even from a distance. asked some
members, of the party who could play the
piano. To see what effect his will would

Mr.. Ross wore a smile of singular and
beautiful superiority. He drifted casually
from one air into another and kept up
steadily for four minutes. Then the smile
faded away like flash, and the pianist,
with hands over the keyboard, sat utterly
unable TO move finger. Beads of prespira-
tion rolled down his face. He announced
afterward that he was perfectly aware of

information from very reliable quarter
warrants me in saying that one of the most
important encyclicals ever issued under the
seal of THE Fisherman" is now in course
of preparation by Leo XIII. This ency-
clical had already been noted, and it was
said to be intended as an argument for the
maintenance of the peace of Europe, but
according to my informant it will be an
appeal to European nations for final set
tlement of the question of the temporal
power of the Pope. Premier Crispi and the
Italian Cabinet have long known the Pope
had such an idea in his head. and it was
this knowledge that made them bring
pressure to bear against Gladstone and
keep him from visiting Rome. Crispi feared
that Gladstone, who had been credited as
favorable to the idea of arbitration. would
sanction the scheme of his Holiness. and
that the appeal of the Pope would go before
the world with the recommendation of the

other, had worked intermittingly for

THE PETRIFIED WOMAN.
A Case of 0ssif cation Upon Which Faith Cure
Is Being Tried in New York State.

GLENs FALLS, N. Y, March 24.-There is
a case of human ossifcation here in the
person of Mrs. F. +. Palmer, of Clinton,
Oneida county. Mrs. Palmer fell victim
to her peculiar disease about eight years
ago. Some three months ago she was
brought here by the Rev. George Eddy, of
this village, for the purpose of giving her
the benefit of 'faith cure" under his own
treatment.
Locally, the case is known as that of the
petrified woman, and it is causing much
comment among medical men. All her
joints except one shoulder are perfectly
rigid, and her whole body is as stiff as q
bone. Her lower limbs have stiffened in q
bent position, while her arms lie helpless,
but as though at ease by her side. Her jaws
are securely locked, but as some of her
teeth are gone she manages to take food
and carry on all necessary. conversations.
tally blind and yet she is of cheerful dispo-
sition. and especially enjoys having people
talk 20 her. Faith cure In her case has
been total failure, although 1T has been
practiced upon her in all the forms known
TO those who believe in it.
Mrs. Palmer is thirty-tive years old. She
married some years ago and was then IN
good health, but after she became thus dis
abled her husband went to Connecticut
and procured divorce. Mrs. Palmer's
mother left a small fortune. Her sisters
waived their rights, thus enabling the af-
fiicted woman to have every comfort posi-
BILE to her condition. Medical men pro-
nounce this as complete a case of Ossitca-
ton as ever came under their notice. Her
mind does not appear TO be at all affected.
During the progress of her disease she has
taken particular pleasure in composing
verses and her memory is SO tenacious that
she can mentally frame a poem and dictate
it word for word afterward. This has been
done so often that q collection of these
verses have been printed, making quite an
interesting volume

VIRTUE IN A MAIDSTONE.
1t Has an Unblemished Record of Eighty
Years Service in Absorbing Virus.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. March 2.-The Terre
Haute maidstone, at this writing, has adj
hered eleven hours to the leg of the eleven
year-old daughter Of John Kirk of Rush
county, this State, who was bitten two
weeks ago by a pup which .afterward died
with all the symptoms of hydrophobia a.
The dog bit two sisters of this child and
either scratched or bit four-year-old
brother. The maidstone was applied to
the boy bat would not adhere and this
confirms the impression that his
injury is from a scratch. The wounds of
the three girls are not deep, but blood was
drawn. The maidstone is thoroughly sat
urated and the cloth about it is soaked
with the poisonous-loOking matter. The
longest time the stone ever adhered before
this application was fourteen hours, and
that was many years ago. The stone has
an authenticated record of more than eighty
years, and no death has ever resulted if at
once adhered. When it drops off the child
on whom it is now applied, it will be tried
ON one of the sisters.
