MARTINsvILLE, Ind, May l4.-On
the night of Jan. 90. 1879, j. W. Brown,
a wealthy farmer of Green township,
this (Morgan) county, was murdered
while in bed with his wife. Mr.. Brown
was very grasping in money matters,
working hard and accommodating a good
deal of money. He thought more of his
cattle than he did of his family and was
regarded with disfavor by his neighbors
on account of his manner of living. The
day Of the murder Mr.. Brown and two
sons had taken a load of produce to In
dianapolis and returned home about 10
o'clock at night About midnight the
boys up stairs were awakened by their
mothers cries and found their father
dead, his head beaten into a jelly and
gaping wounds all over his body. Mrs.
Brown was also discovered to be severely
hurt. She said she had awakened in the
night with an earacbe and had called to
Mi. Brown, but received no answer. and
that she knew nothing OF the murder Of
her husband. Mrs. Lou Parrott, the eldest
daughter, A. Willard, her brother, and
Joe Geer, a son in law, were ARRESTED, as
they had quarrelled with Mr.. Brown a
few days before. The case came up for
trial in the circuit court and Willard
stated that Mrs. Parrot, had come to him
with Joe and wanted him to help them
kill the old man. Willard refused to do
this and they threatened to kill him if he
spoke of what they told him. He had
looked over the transom and seen Joe
beat bis fathers brains out while Mrs. Par
rott held her father. They took the money
out from under the pillow and divided it.
then gong to their rooms. Willard was
sent to state prison for two years and Joe
and Mrs. Parrott were acquitted. Mrs.
Brown soon after moved to a point near
Kokomo. She was taken sick a short
time ago, and a daughter 10 Kansas was
called to her bedside. Just as she was
dying she Mortified her daughter by say
ing that she and her two sons were the
guilty parties. She had attacked her
husband with a monkey wrench, and dur
ing the melee tie boys came into the room
and cut the father to pieces with an axe.
The facts have just been made known.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. May l4.-For
several days there have been rumors OF
trouble on the Ohio & Mississippi road.
Grand Chief Sergeant OF the Brotherhood
of Firemen was asked tonight and said
that thirty days ago a grievance commit
tee of engineers and iremen asked Presi-
dent Barnard for a change in wages and
certain rules. He offered some conces-
sions to the engineers, who declined them
unless the firemen were recognized. On
May 9th Chief Arthur OF the engineers,
and Chiet Sergeant of the firemen called
on President Barnard, but he refused to
treat with them as official representatives
of their brotherhoods. The supreme
council of the Confederation of Railway
Employees. consisting of firemen, brake
men, conductors and switchmen, was no.
tilted and an interview was had yesterday
with President Barnard. After consider
able discussion IN agreement was reached
BY which the labor ORGANIZATIONS were
recognized for the first time on this road.
An increase in wages was obtained and
changes in the rules for the benefit of the
men. One interesting feature of the
sgreement was that the federal council
which the engineers have so far kept out
OF, secured benefits for the engineers.

ST. LOUIS, May l4.-In the Southern
Methodist conference today the commit
tee on temperance reported in favor Of
unfermented wine for sacrament, when
ever practicable, and approved the reso-
buttons introduced last week opposing all
laws licensing or permitting the manufac
turing or sale of intoxicating liquors as a
beverage, because such laws provide for
the continuance Of the traffic and furnish
no protection against its ravages. That
the proper attitude of Christians toward
the drinking traffic should be uncom
promising opposition. Total abstinence
is the sole and true ground of personal
temperance and the complete legal pro-
hibition OF the traffic is the duty of the
government. The report ven to the
calendar and will no doubt cause much
debate when it comes up for considera-
ton.
