THE REVIVAL OF TORTURE,


CALCUTTA, Nov. 6. The British
authorities of Madras have institu-
ted an investigation relative to a !
case of horrible barbarity and
superstition reported from Maduras.
Rain has been very much needed in
that vicinity and the drought was
attributed by the superstitious
natives to maliginity OF an evil
minded deity. To propitiate this
deity they resolved upon reviving
an old practice Of torture, known
as shook swinging" A vic
tim was found who consen-
ted to undergo tie ordeal. The
points to iron hooks were pushed
into his back, rope was fastened
to the hooks and the poor wretch
was hoisted into the air. His
shrieks of agony were regarded as
evidence that the goddess was be-
ing made to hear, and would answer
with the long looked for rain. After
the man had hung for an hour he
was taken down apparently not
fatally injured, although with two
deep wounds in his back. Whether
rain followed is not stated.

END OF THE Trial.
The Most Eaciting Trial Shelby has
Erer Seen Comes to q Close.
Public Sentiment Approved
By the Eerdict Of the
Jury.


night was a memorable one in the
history of Shelby. Never before
had popular interest been wrought
up to so nigh a pitch as to the re-
suit of any trial in the court of
Cleveland county. Never before
had so absolute an unanimity
Of sentiment been developed
by the evidence in a case from what
in the beginning had been almost ab-
solute indifference. Never before did
the popular verdict more thoroughly
coincide with that of jury. For ten
days the trial of the MotZ brothers IN
the superior court has been the center
of interest. Nothing else was talked
Of on the streets. 1t is almost true
that nothing else was thought Of,
when after having had the case for
over FIVE hours the jury at dusk
this evening rendered verdict of
not guilty. The feeling of exultation
that spread over the town was
universal and its expression was al
most wild in its demonstration.
Solicitor Osborne this morning con-
cluded a wonderfully able argu-
ment for the State. 1t was remark
ed that he had done more that could
have been expected of mortal man
from the evidence for the prosecu-
tion. But it did not convince pub
lie sentiment or thejury.
Judge Graves delivered an
able, fair and impartial charge.
He submitted to the jury
nearly all the prayers that had been
offered by both sides and, in brief
instructed the jurymen that if the
prisoners had gone to the place
with intent to kill Michael. and hao
killed Sam Motz, or they had gone
there to compel Michael by force Oh
) intimidation to marry their sister
} they were guilty of murder. If the.
had gone there only to persuade hin
intending to use no force the,
were guilty Of no crime. If the.
went there armed to defend them
selves if attacked, knowing tha
they would probably provok
Michael to attack them, thong
they did not intend to force him t
: marry their sister, it was an unlaW
full assembly and they were guilt
> of manslaughter. The jury too

six hours the courthouse square an
streets in the vicinity were dotte

. nerves of the crowd were straine

Tragedy at the soldiers Home

The first tragedy in the annals OF the
state soldiers home at Grand Rapids occur
red about eight O'clock Wednesday night.
Henry Harrington, an inmate OF the home
from Grand Rapids, is the victim ond ne
has half dozen ugly wounds on his side,
the result Of an attack upon him by Henry
Morse, another inmate. The two veterans
have lung been on il-terms, but what the
quarrel was about is unknown. Harrng-
ton was lying on h S bed in his dormitory
half asleep when Morse quietly opened the
door and crept in. He had "a wicked look
ing knife in his hand with a large blade
and keen edge. He walked up TO the
bed where Harrington was doing and
without a word Of warning plunged the
blade into his side. Again and again he
struck. inhicting in all six deep wounds.
Then he fed. The alarm was not given
until the assassin had disappeared, and he
effected his escape. Officers at once start
ed in pursuit. Harrington was given at
tenton as soon as the first excitement had
passed. The blood was flowing in torrents
from the cuts and he would have bled to
death but for prompC treatment. He is
still alive but it is considered doubtful
if he will live. He is Al years old and his
reputation is unsavory. He has been dis
charged from the home several times for
intemperance, but has succeeded each time
in being renstated Morse halls from
Detroit and was admitted TO the home Oct.
- last. He is 46 years old, of an ugly
disposition, especially when intoxicated, and
his last pension money went for liquor.

Heirs To Millions.

Aaron + iwards, who in the early times
was an Indian trader and land agent in
kalamazoo, and whose picture hangs in the
city hall at that place, was present when
his uncle, Robert Edwards. leased TO the
crown for ninety-nine years IA tract of land
ia the heart of New York city. That was
ia l752, and the lease expired in 1871.
The land reverts to the original owners
heirs. and is now valued at 5000, 900, 900
and covers an area of sixty acres, which
includes portions of Broadway and Wall
street and a portion of the Trinity church
property. Robert Edwards, the original
owner, was a bachelor and lived with his
nephew Jacob. whose son Alrons grand
children are now residents of Kalamazoo
and claimants To the estate. They are
Frank. Edward and James Walter, Mrs.
Sidney FaXon. Mrs. f.. II. Rankin. Mrs. Ed
l.. Dayton, Mrs. Geo. Davis and Mrs. l..
Coughberough. They are in correspond
ence with New York parties and bringing
thc matter TO a focus. They are only IA
portion of tue claimants, and all hope TO
have the property revert TO the heirs. The
heirs living at Kalamazoo have complete
genealogical record by which they can
establish their claim in the event that
favorable decision is reached in the tide TO
tue property.

Congressman Houk's Death.

Judge l.. c. Houk, representative in
congress from the second Tennessee dis
trict, died Monday morning at Knoxville,
Tenn. Sunday he went TO drug store 10
get prescription put up. The druggist
compounded it for him and set it down in
glass near another containing a strong
solution OF arsenic, which Judge Houll
took by mistake. Antidotes were prompt
ly administered and by 10 o'clock at
night he was so we'll that nothing was said
about the circumstance except to a few
friends. He slept We'll through the night
and died next morning suddenly. He had
heart disease and the poison and excite
ment following the incident affected that
organ and was the cause of his death.

Fighting Prohibition.

A Lewiston, Me-, dispatch says: n
saloonkeeper pays IA man So day TO attend
to an electric button at front window To
distinguish desirable from shady customers.
1t is further agreed that in case Of a
successful raid the man who attends the
button is to go TO Jail as proprietor OF the
place, his pay continuing during sentence.
The real proprietor would then get another
dummy and the trade GO merrily on. Thus
it will be seen that il costs just 81 a day
to beat the prohibition laws. Over in
Portland they have discovered a new kind
of drink. The other night the police
arrested "a man who was beastly drunk on
paregoric. 1t is expected that kerosene
cocktails win be the next on Portland's list
OF wines About two thousand warrants
have been served in Portland since the
present liquor war, but still there is an
increase Of drunkenness there.

PREACHER COUNTERFEITERS.
Two OF Them Put Behind the Bars
by a Secret Service Officer.

Capt Porter Of Chicago, OF TIE United
southern Illinois. where within the past
week he has put behind the bars the
preacher counterfeiters, George Vancil and
jeremiah Holmes. He tells queer story
OF "a mutual conversion in which "A counter
teiter became preacher and preacher "a
counterfeiter. Jerry Holmes was "a
counterfeiter and general outcast in
Duquone. Ill. The Rev. George vancil
was Baptist minister He undertook 10
convert Holmes 10 christianity after every
body had given him up as incorrigible.
The men met one night under the stars
and Vancil preached "A sermon to Holmes
TO such good effect that he professcd re-
pentance. He fell on the ground and with
his hands towards Heaven de-
clared he would forever renounce
his ways. and ne afterward said
that he had been converted like Paul
while on his way TO Damascus. The con-
version of the hardened sinner was
heralded throughout Polk county as a
miracle and the people marveled greatly at
the strangeness of it, Holmes turned
preacher and became the pastor of a
Campbellite congregation in the country
near DuQuoine
1t was not long after this that Holmes
gave Nancil some counterfeit money and
Nancil passed ii. Later o. Holmes gave
him some more and he passed that upon
the members Of a travelling circus. This the
Rev. Vancil confessed, but he declared that
he took the money and continued the ac-
quaintance of Holmes for the purpose of
learning his secrets and exposing the gang
OF which Holmes was the leader. at
makes no difference where this lands me"
said Vancil, after he had been placed in a
cell, because / have been serving God
and my country ut one time. Serving God
in preaching His word and my country
in taking this money from those sinners
that might finally bring them TO justice. s"
The Rev. Jerry Holmes, vino made the
coin and who was captured a week ago,
held religious services in Jail last Sunday
and had all his fellow prisoners shouting
