FITZSIMMONS RESTS EASY.
EARLY MORNING SCENES AND TALKS
FROM THE LOOKUP.
The Murderer Says Gilkinson Was Brave
Murphy Did Not Run Until After Eigh-
teen Shots We're Fired-Much sympathy
Expressed for Cora Wyatt.

AT 1 o'clock this morning Fitzsimmons
was resting easy aud said his wound was
not hurting him much. The crowds had
also became quiet. He was asked which OF
the two detectives was the braver man, to
which he said:
They were both brave. Murphy did not
run until after his ammunition was out
There were IS shots fired during the fight
did not follow Murphy a step."
He then told story about not getting to
Clark's house until o'clock last night, but
it was deemed improbable by the officers, as
they had been watching the house
all day. He was asked about
bis past life, but he refused to
talk, ! and said Thomas M. Marshall, Sr.,
was his attorney, and would talk for him.
He also stated that he could have shot the
officers that arrested him. but he did not
want to. Officer McAllister, however, says
that it would have been impossible for
Fitzsimmons to, have shot him, as he had
him covered before the man had chance
to make q move Officer McAllister right
fully claims that the honor of the arrest lies
between Officer Colvin and himself He
also admits that Fitzsimmons was the cool
est and bravest man he ever met
Much sympathy is felt for Mrs. Charles
Clark and her sister. Cora Wyatt, who are
also in the lookup with the others. Miss
Wyatt is believed to be perfectly innocent.
She is handsome girl, not very tall but of
medium heavy build. Sitting in the lookup
among the other prisoners the young girl
looked much out of place. She takes it
bravely and insists that she knows
nothing. Her story Is believed to
be correct Mrs. Clark is a young and very
well-dressed woman, and sits in converse
tion with her husband most of the time and
feels very bad about the whole affair. She
says Fitzsimmons roomed with them for
long time, but she never heard him speak
of vile. The Clark family are very re-
spectacle and old residents of Homestead.
He is machinist in Carnegie, Phipps &
Co.'S works. Nothing in the way of weap-
ons was found on him.

LIGHT FROM THE EAST.
A RELIGIOUS EVENT IN JAPAN OF NO
SMALL IMPORTANCE.
The Native Presbyterian Church Changes
the Time-Tried Doctrines of the Demon
ination-They Believe Western Nations
Have Not the Correct Conception of
Christianitv.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Many strange
things have come out of the East, but prob
ably few events that have occurred during
the last decade are likely to impress the
thinking minds of our own civilization more
deeply than the fact set out in an official re-
port to the Department of State by the late
United States Minister to Japan, General
Swift, that, after deliberation, the native
Presbyterian Church in that country has
seen fit to recast the time-tried doctrines of
the PRESBYTERIAN Church, and even to make
additions to the sacred Apostolic Greed.
A committee, composed of judicious and
conservative men, was empowered to report
such changes and notifications in the
Articles of Faith as would afford maxi
mum beatitlde to the progressive school OF
japanese. with a minimum disturbance OF
ancient landmarks. The committee in its
report recommended the substitution OF the
twentv-fourth article of faith of the En-
glish PRESBYTERIAN Church for those of bort
and Heidelberg, then in force. The change
failed to meet the demands of the progress
sive japanese, and the report was rejected.
After rejecting these notifications, the
Synod which met last November prepared
and adopted standard Of faith expressive
of strict japanese Christian opinion. An
addition was made to the Apostles Greed by
the insertion of clause, in the following
words, as preamble to the creed itself:
The Lord Jesus Christ, whom we worship as
God. the only hegotten Son of God. for us men
and for our salvation was made man and suf-
fered. He offered up perfect sacrifice for
sin, and all who are one with Him by faith are
pardoned and accounted righteous: and faith
in Him, working by love, purities the heart.
The Holy Ghost, who with the Father and Son,
is worshiped and glOrified reveals Jesus
Christ to the soul. and without His grace. man
being dead in sin, cannot enter the kingdom of
God. By Him the prophets and apostles and
holy men of old were inspired and He, speak
ing in the Scriptures of the Old and New Testa-
ments. is the supreme and infallible Judge in
things pertaining unto faith and living From
these Holy Scriptures the ancient Church of
Christ drew its confession, and we, holding the
faith once delivered to the saints, join in that
confession, with praise and Thanksgiving.
Minister Swift's report says that to these
changes in the creed the American and
European members of the Synod assented,
and the new creed was formulated and pro-
mulgated. He further says that it is fire. !
quent and common claim made by native !
Christian converts that the spirit and mean
ing of Christianity inits broader and more |
scope has never been properly |
among Western nations, and |
that the faith needed to be transported to |
Japan for final development, and perfection. |
he apprehends that this change |
will be followed by other and more radical |
changes

AFTER MANY YEARS
Emma Adams Finds Her Mother in
the Indiana Penitentiary.
FEARFUL MEETING BETWEEN THEM
Mrs. Adams Sent to Prison for Life for
Poisoning Her Husband.
PARDONED ATLAST BY GOVERNOR HovEY

INDIANAPOLIS, March 22.-A remark
Cured at the city prison here yesterday be-
tween a mother, life convict and her
daughter. resident OF st. Louis. In JAN
uary, 1870, Mary A. Adams was tried in the
Jennings County Court on the charge of
poisoning her husband. She was sent to the
woman's prison to serve life sentence, and
her family of children were scattered. Of
the children, several were by previous
marriage, and one of these was Emma, who
at the time her mother was convicted was 8
years old She was adopted by family
who moved to Missouri Emma grew to
womanhood without knowledge of her
parents, regarding both as dead. In time
she married, and made her home in St.
Louis.
A few days ago she returned to this State
to attend the funeral of sister in Bartholo-
new county, and there she learned her
mothers fate. Without delay Emma came
to this city, and went direct to the woman's
prison, where she asked to see Mrs. Adams.
A woman, with sorrow marked on every
feature and form bent with age, was
pointed out to her. Emma, sitting her emo
ton. approached the prisoner, and, with
trembling voice, aSkeu: Are you Mrs.

eyes" replied the prisoner. "But who
are vou7"
81 am Emma, mother-your little Emma.
Don't you remember me ?"
In an instant they were clasped in each
others arms. The sobbing OF the two
women deeply affected all who witnessed
the scene: The mother continually patted
the daughter on the shoulder, crying: "Oh,
my Emma, my little baby girl" After the
meeting the daughter went at once to Gov
ernor Hovey. and, throwing herself on her
knees, prayed for her mothers pardon. To
her joy, she learned her PRAYER had been
anticipated, for Mrs. Adams pardon had
been long pending, and the night before the
Governor had decided to issue the order for
the woman's release.
In the afternoon Mrs. Adams became
free woman and left last evening for St.
Louis. where she will have home with her
daughter. The pending petition for pardon
had been signed by county officials and the
judge who tried the woman, the prosecutors
and other influential citizens, among them
the late Judge Berkshire, of the Supreme
bench. There had always been a doubt
about the justice of the verdict.

the house in which the couple live is
rented out in furnished rooms. Noble and
his wife occupied the large front room on
the second floor, and it is much more ex-
pensively furnished than any other in the
house. Its appearance does not indicate
that the occupants were in any pecuniary
need. The body of the suicide was sent to
an undertaker's shop. The owner of the
house said that Mr.. Noble seemed to be a
very quiet man and that she did not know
of any disagreement between him and his

HOUSTON, March Ex-senator Farwell
and Congressman Abner Taylor, of Chi.
cayo, arrived in the city tonight en- route
to the mouth of the Brazos river, where the
Brazos River Channel and Dock Company,
in which they are interested largely, is con-

the jetties.
A reporter called on Senator Farwell and
learned that the completion OF the work
would cost less than $1OO, 900, and that it
would be continued to finish so as to get
the benefit of the June rise in the river,
which he was sure would result in their get
ting between 20 and % feet of water over
the bar

THE NEBRASKA DEADLOCK.
The Three Parties Still Stubbornly Fight
Over the Freight Rate Bill.

LINCOLN, March 22.-There is no change
in the Senatorial deadlock, and no new de-
velopments regarding the missing man Tay-
lor. Members continue to utilize the Senate
chamber as sleeping and dining-room, and
ii weary of their self-imposed Imprisonment
make no outward manifestation or com.

Tomorrow the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will make overtures to the IndeDend-
ents in the way of proposed compromise to
the obnoxious maximum freight rate bill,
pIedging themselves to aid in the passage of
a measure demanded by the people, but less
harsh in its restrictions than one now pend
ing. Indications warrant the belief, how
ever, that it will not be accepted. But five
more days of the session remain in the Sen
ate and one in the House. Not single
State appropriation bill has been passed.

side or the other of three-score years of age.
Briefly, the case stands just this way: The
Senator keeps up two complete estab-
Iishments. In one is his wife and children;
in the other beautiful woman, with whom
the Senator became infatuated some months
ago. Demands have been made by the wife
for the breaking up Of establishment No. 2,
which have not yet been complied with and
a divorce suit is imminent, though the wife
is willing to suffer great deal to avoid
scandal which would humiliate her children.
