THE DEBT QUESTION,

Careful consideration of the astound-
ing London telegram printed in The
TIMES yesterday morning leads to but
one conclusion. There is made mani
fest, from the intemperance of Ian
guage used, desire to stir up strife
and i'll feeling in Virginia, to cprevent
if possible, action on tho part of the
legislature in settlemen, of the debt on
the basis Of the Olcott committees
proposition.
If.such action can DO prevented the
kickers will then throw the onus of a
failure to settle the debt on the should
ers of tho State, when tho fault is their
own.
With this scheme plainly sticking
OUT it is plainly the duty of the legis-
lature to be not led astraY, but stick
closely to its duty and ratify the Olcott
agreement at once.
The meeting which will be held
tonight under the auspices of the
Commercial Association should speak
in certain tones. With these specious
attacks from without. the meeting
should aid in holding up tho hands of
the legislature until tho fight is over
and the debt settled.
The creditors should be given plainly
to understand that the State has acted
in good faith with their committee and
expects good faith in return

MUSCLE STIMULATION.

Valuable Experiments Recently Conducted
by French Swami.
To the usual we'll known ways Of
stimulating muscles to contraction, viz,
electrical, thermal, mechanical and
chemical, NJ. D'Arsonval has, says Ma
turc, recently added that by means of
light. He could not, indeed, get any
contraction in Il fresh frog muscle,
when he suddenly threw bright light
on it in Il dark chamber; but having
first in darkness stimulated muscle
with induction currents too weak to
give visible effect, and then suddenly
illuminated the muscle with an arc
light, the muscle showed slight tremu-
lation. Not thinking this conclusive,
however, NJ. D'Arsonval attached a
muscle to the middle of piece OF skin
stretched on funnel, and connected
the tube of the funnel by means of q
piece of India rubber tube with the ear.
The muscle being now subjected to in
tense intermittent light, he heard a
tone corresponding to the period of illu-
mination, and this ceased when the
muscle was killed with heat. Arc light
was used, which was concentrated by n
lens and passed through an alum solu-
ton to stop the heat rays.

New YORK, Dec. 1.--lSpeoiall-The
arrest of any Of the partners OF Field,
LindleY, Weichers e Co. has not yet
taken place. Sheriff German says that
papers in tho case are not yet COM
pleted, and he is of the opinion that
there will be no great hurry about their
arrest.
Assignee Gould said this morning
that of the Union Pacific securities
amounting to Sl,5s6.0O all but $780,
600 of them had been located.
At 12 O'Clock to day Assignee Gould

~ am somewhat encouraged to find
that things are actually looking
brighter in some respects. The fact
that there arc no large creditors appear
ing with claims or that no one on Wall
street has been nipped, leads me to the
believe that the only great sufferers are
the members Of the firm who have been
victimized by Field
~ am particularly sorry for Weichers,
whom consider as honest young man
as ever met. The fact is that he has
been robbed.
Edward M. Field is the most plausi-
BILE person over met. lie has always
told me the most plausible stories: and
even when they were absolutely absurd,
they were told in a manner that made
mo believe that the speaker was
perfectly honest in his statements.
II talked with Field and he ratified
NH ,,% 80 "a
that they were worth over 5000, 900. He
met an old college friend of his who
told me even when he was in school he
had shown evidences of insanity.
DO you know for what reason Cyrus
w. Field sold his property at Gram
mercy Park to his daughters?"
II presume that it might be in order
to be in position to aid his son.
do you think that Field is worth as
much money as he is reported to be?"
'Well, don't belive he is In fact,
it has been the general belief on Wall

financially weak for some time"

a F1END ESCAPES LYNCHING.
An Indiana Mob Makes Two Unsuccessful
Attempts on the Jail.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 1.-lSpe-
ciall-The county Jail, situated in the
very.ccnter of the city, was surrounded
by mob of three hundred Infatuated
people shortly before midnight last
night, thirsting for the blood of Charles
Bissow, ravisher, confined in it's walls
Tho man is an all-round criminal, and
his latest crime was ar outrageous as
sault on little girl named Blanche
Staten, seven years of age, living in the
northeastern part of the city.
few men gathered in the rear of a
saloon in the same portion of the city
and this was soon added to. The
descent was made upon the Jail by fifty
sturdy fellows, and in the march a
force Of 200 men joined in. Tho Jail, a
Dimsy old structure, was easily entered,
but the mob got no further than tho
strong doors in the office.
At one time they were upon the point
of going through these doors with aid
OF sledge hammers and crowbars, but the
sheriff and posse of officers cleared tho
room by hard effort, and the mob soon
after disappeared.
When Bissow was arraigned in the
ponce court yesterday he pleaded guilty
in nonchalant sort of way and also
acknowledged to an officer that about a
year ago he had outraged Daisy Wright.
child but S years old, crime that
caused great excitement at the time,
especially as her assailant was neither
arrested nor known.
His last crime of this kind was com
mitted last Saturday, when he took the
little Staten girl, aged seven years.
from the company of her brother by
threats, forced her to go into q freight
car with him, and there committed the
indignities from which the child will
not soon recover.
Two lynching parties were organized
last night. but they failed to connect,
and the largest body was waiting the
coming of the others while tho
latter were already at the jail This
morning BisSow was sentenced to
TWEEN y-one years in tho oenitentiary.
The jury was out twenty-ono minutes.

blind submission to another's will, but

ancc upon her wisdom and fidelity; and
she has found her full reward in his
candid and tender appreciation of her
services.
"There is something incxprcssibly
gracious and admirable in this view of
great statesman's life and character.
His friends delight to recall instances
of his profound respect for his wifc's
opinion, and of his surprising desire to
please her. When the committee waited
upon him in 1888 to tender him the
nomination for vice president he did
not respond with set speech of ac-
ceptance; he said he would ask Mary
about it. The remark was like the
man; and it was like the woman to
shake her head at first and say that he
was too feeble to make the race. She
had to be persuaded, and when at last
she consented he merely observed: All
right; it's just as Mary says"

MARY DUN THURMAN.
A Touching Tribute Go tho "old Romans"
Departed IIclpmate,


Departed IIelpmate.
Mrs. Thurman was born in Chillicothe
in 1911. Her maiden name was Mary
Dun. Her father, Walter Dun, was n
wealthy landowner and merchant Mt
that place. While Mary was yet n
young woman her father moved to Lex
ington, Ky. Here she married Mr..
Tompllins. but he died after n few
years, leaving one daughter, Nancy.
She was married to Judge Thurman in
November, 1914, and has been his al
most constant companion and hclpmate
since during his long professional and
public career.
The beauty of the life that has Just
gone out is seen in the following tribute
paid to her recently:
"The wife of Judge Thurman is a
woman of eighty years, but to her hus-
band she seems no older than she was
when he married her, nearly half q
century ago. They have grown old to-
gethcr in most affcctionate and beau
tiful way. Their union has served to
vindicate the law of affinities and to
present a choice example of domestic
harmony, confidence and devotion.
They have always been Mary and AL
len to each other with answering and
simple fondness. The old Roman, as
he is faniliarly known in our politics,
has not won his honors by forgetting
for moment the partner with whom
he began the battle of life. 1t is said
that no man can live up to his love-
making, but this case must be rated as
a sweet and wholesome exception. The
best of all that Allen said to Mary as a
sutton has been repeated in his conduct
as Il husband. He has believed in her
as in nobody else. Her wishes have
guided him, her faith has strengthened
him, her approval has blessed him.
In no contingency has he gone
contrary to her advice. The word of
Mary has outweighed all other in
fluences with him, not in the sense of

Rio Grande do Sui
LONDON, Dec. 1.-[Speciall -Advices
from Brazil regarding the situation in
Rio Grande do Sui are of such an OK
tremely conflicting character that it is
impossible to conceive the true situa-

position OF Dictator Da Fonseca the in

This dispatch does not in any way
agree with the statement telegrapbed
Yesterday that the people of Rio Grande
DO Sui had refused to obey the orders
sent from Rio Janeiro instructinp the
authorities to restore Governor Castil-
hos to Office; that tho national guard
had been modified; that the grea est
