Hard to Prove 1t Is SawtelIe's Head,

CONCORD, N. H., Dec. s.-The hearing
in the Sawtelle case was, resumed to-day,
and testimony looking to establishing the
location of the crime was taken both fol
and against the prisoner. Considerable
comment is caused by the fact that the skull
supposed to be that of Hiram Sawtelle had,
when found, no teeth whatever in the upper
jaw, and but six front teeth in the lower
Jaw The Government is not inclined t.
admit that it is the head of Hiram Sawtelle
until good and sufficient evidence is offered
on that point.

CHOKING OFF CRANKS.
A New York Coroner's Jury sits Down on
Fasting Freaks-A Death Due to Alco-
hol and Starvation Leads to Move in
the Right Direction.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-[Special 1-Coroner
Hanly and a jury of physicians held an
inquest to-day in the case of George II.
Stratton, who died at Bellevue Hospital on
November 19 after going without food for
Al days, in an effort to su:pass Succi's fast.
The witness described in details STRAIT
toms match, and declared that when the
faster began to break down he advised him
to discontinue, it. Stratton persisted, and
could only be persuaded to take food in
shape of cocoa on the forty-frst day. The
testimony went to show that Stratton was
alone responsible for his fatal fast. This
verdict was rendered.:
We, the jury in the case of the late George
Henry Stratton, find that his death at Belle
vue Hospital on November 10, 1891, was in
duced by starvation, and we further re-
spectfully state our conviction that such ex-
hibitlons should be regarded as demoral-
izing and criminal, and that they should be
prohibited by legal enactment.

FUTURE OF THE PROJECT.
The Methodist Church. the Bishop said.
needed an institution of the character
which it Is intended this National Uni
versity shall be and he pictured
the future of the project In glow
ing colors. Dwelling for q moment
upon the investment feature of the recent
purchase he said. with some little natural
satisfaction. that in one year the property
had quadrupied in value. While 1T was
not the desire or intention to sell one inch
OF the nlnety-threea acres. Washington real-
estate men had assured him that the prop
erty would to-day bring between 100000
and 100000. All the bishops and
everywhere are thorough believ-
ers In the successful outcome of
the project and regard the establishment of
q national university as one of the greatest
and best works the church can accomplish.
At the close of his talk Bishop Hurst took
occasion to give the fullest recognition to
President Harrison for his sympathy with
that and every other good work In Wash
ington.

BISHOP BOWMAN AT LAFAYETTE.

The Venerable Senior Methodist Bishop Iu-
weighs Against Card-Playing and Theaters.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE, Ind. May 10.-Thomas Bow
man, the senior bishop in the Methodist
Church, one of the brightest ministers in
the pulpit. preached at Trinity Church
this morning. So anxious were the Meth
odists to hear him that union services
were held. other churches joining with
Trinity. Many persons were present from
other denominations, and the eloquent
speaker was greeted by q magnificent audi
ence. The Bishop chose for his text the
first and second verses of the First Psalm:
Blessed Is the man that walketh not In the
counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth In the
way OF sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and
In His law doth he mediate day and night.
The venerable prelate said that he diff
fered with some of the old commentator
regarding this Psalm; they contending that
it was intended TO describe the progress OF
q sinner in his sins. his going from one step
to another. but be did not 80 regard 1t. He
thought the psalmist had in his mind a
character fully formed, not one in q state
of progress. The psalmist did not say
blessed will be the man," but blessed Is
the man" The delight was now, not will
be In the hereafter.

TRAIN-ROBBERs OUTwITTED.
How an Express Messenger IN the Santa Fe
Road Saved All His Valuables but $500.

GUTHRIE, o. T., May 10.-The south
bound passen ger train on the Santa Fe
road was held mp last night. about 1850
O'Clock, by five masked men. The gang is
supposed to have been the notorious Dalton
boys, who lave been seen In this ~neighbor-
hood recently. They boarded the train at
Wharton and detached the engine and ex-
press car. Running ahead two miles they
robbed the express car of all the money il
contained. 1t is not believed that the
amount stolen is very large. The passen-
gers were not molested, but a more fright
ened lot could not be imagined. The ban
dts Informed them when they the robbersl
proceeded down the road with the engine
and express car they 1.-THE p~assengersl were
to remain with the coaches in order To Sc
cure themselves, and they obeyed.
A later dispatch says that the skill with
which the Weils-Fargo express car of the
Santa Fe train was robbed last night was
only excelled by the skill With which the
expires messep ger guarded the property in
his care from the bandits. When the rob-
bers boarded the train at Wharton the
messenger was looking out of the door
of his car, and, seeing What was going on,
Immediately ap~prehended danger. He
closed and locked his door, and then COM
menoed TO hide the money and valuables
in his keeping in places of safety where
they would escape detection by the rob-
bers. While the bandits were detaching
the engine and express car from the rest of
the train. and were running il to the place
where the robbery occurred, two miles dis
tant, the messenger disposed of
most of the valuables i'm places
of safety. Then he locked the safe. When
the robbers appeared at the door of the ex-
press car be made 8 show of resistance but
finally admitted them. They immediately
made for the safe and demanded that il be
opened. With feigned reluctance the
messenger opened il and at the command
of the leader handed out the contents,
among which was q package of worthless
papers which he told the robbers
was q valuable package Of money. The
most of the money had been hidden I'm the
stove, which was not being used for it's
legitimate purpose. In the search which
the robbers made of the car they overlooked
t~hatshiding place but found a package of
500 which they secured. Finding nothing
else of value they made their escape.
A large force of United States deputy
marshals was organized at Guthrie last
night as soon as the news of the robbery
had been received. and a pursuit of the rob-
bers was immediately begun. 1t is believed
that the robbers are In hiding at Turkey
Greek, Indian Territory. whittier the posse
is now making its way. There seems To be
no doubt that the bandits were the motor
ious Dalton boys. They are a desperate set
of outlaws.
