A Curious Armor Worn by Warrior Of
the Caroline Islands.


A Curious Armor Worn by Warrior Of
the Caroline Islands.
The full armor worn by warrior of
the Caroline Islands is one of the most
curious bits of savage workmanship IN
the world This suit consists of two
separate parasitic clothing and the
cuirass. The clothing, worn next to
the skin, is made by weaving, or, rath-
er, netting, by hand, web of coarse
cords twisted out of the husk of the
cocoanut, each cord being tied into q
hard knot between each mesh. The
knots are crowded close together, and
thicken the cloth so that it would not
be easy to stab or cut through. it. It
also protects the legs against being
torn by thornv shrubs or scratched in
clambering over the sharp coral rocks.
But the main curiosity in this armor
Is the cuirass, or chest and head pro-
tector, the like of which is known no.
where else. Tho wool or substance of
the cloth is of cocoanut thread the
size of wrapping Irvine, but tightly
twisted and tough, while the warp
upon which these are woven is much
heavier, SO that the finished cloth is as
thick as our heaviest canvas. The
threads are crowded very compactly
together also, SO that no slight force
would be needed to force a blow
through. The sewage is bound over a
stout cord andl ornamented by alter
nate plaits of black hair and yellow
fiber Ornamental designs are worked
in with horsehair, too.
But the form of this outer war jacket
is still more remarkable. It consists

fort Wayne garrisoned and it was occu-
pied for number Of years. Its dimen-
Sons were about 200 by $50 feet, and its
site is now the busiest art Of the city of
Toledo, at the intersection of Monroe
strickland Summit avenue. All trace OF
it was long ago ob.iterated, but the fact
of its location at the POINT indicated is
preserved in the designation of a block
OF buildings named Fort Industry Block.
1t is proposed to mark the spot by the
erection of q granite monument with
suitable inscription. If the city will
give the privilege of the use of the
street corner for the purpose it is eStl-
mated the monument can be put in posi-
ton for S., 900.
Fort Miami, which was first estab-
lished as trading post in 1880 and oc-
cupied for military purposes subse-
quently by the British, and abandoned
by them after the treaty Of 1895, is the
Oldest of all these historical points The
northeastern angie of the work and a
portion of each adjoining curtain, to-
gether with the greater part of the
demilune in advance of the northern
front, are still in fair state Of preserva-
ton. The river front has been de-
stroyed. The site is part of the pat of
Maumee City, occupying about five and
a haf acres. Part OF it is orchard. 1t
is estimated that the site can be pur-
chased for $500, and $500 monu-
ment in granite will suffice to mark the
location of the fort.
Upon the completion of Fort Industry
General Wayne led his army back up the
river to the village Of the Miamis, and
there, on Oct. %, a fort having been
completed, fifteen rounds of cannon
were fired and the fort named Fort
Wayne, and 50 the present city of Fort
Wayne, Ind, was begun. The fort was

PRAYS FOR A DIVORCE.

People are the Central Figures.
Special to the Gazette.

SAN ANTONIO, TEX. Sept. ls.-It will be

son. young merchant of this city, and
Miss Katie Tendick. the daughter
of 4 wealthy brewer, now deceased,
were the parties to sensational
matrimonial incident in Chicago. the cir
cumStanceS of which was. SO it is alleged.
that Johnson met Miss Tendick. who, with
her brother. was visiting in that city. and
compelled her TO marry him under the
threat that he would kin himself and
her also if she did not Immediately
consent. Miss Tendick is only sixteen
years of age, and was frightened into per-
uniting johnson to obtain a marriage Ii
Cense. and the two We're welded in Chicago.
The brother of the young lady learned of
the marriage within an hour
after it had been solemnized, and rescued
her at once from the hands OF Johnson. He
then took her on trip to Europe, johnson
following her TO New York. entreating her
to return to him. Mrs. johnson and
her brother arrived here Wednesday, and
Johnson lost no time in calling at the hotel
where they We're oeping and attempted to
obtain An interview with his child-wife A

Death Sentence Passed.

QUANAH, HARpEMAN COUNTY, Ten, Sept.
is. T. Morris, who was convicted of
murder in the fist degree for the killing of
Moss and Roberts, and whose case was
carried to the court of appeals and the deci-
sion of the district court confirmed, was
this morning given his death sentence by
Judge Brown. The Judge, before passing
the sentence, asked Morris if he had any
thing to say. Morris arose and firmly pro
tested his innocence to the charges against
him, and said he did not censure the court,
jury or attorneys for what they had done,
and that they had only done their duty, but
that he did censure some of the witnesses,
as they had wiifully and maliciously lied.
He finally broke clear down and was COM
PEELED to stop.
Judge Brown then in few words re-
viewed the case, and at the close set the

Duncan in the Fedora, Courts.

In addition to the unusual Nervousness of
the crime, which makes it one of the dark
est and most terrible deeds in the criminal
annals of the Southwest, the case has OBJ
tanned wide celebrity on account of the re-
markable and ingenious attempt of I. ].
McMinn, lawyer of San Antonio, to obtain
Duncan's release through the alleged in
validity of the penal code of Texas. The
first steps in the sensational proceedings
were taken by McN1inn about year ago,
when he sued out j writ of habeaS corpus
in the Federal court of San Antonio. The
grounds upon which he based his action
was the invalidity of the criminal code of
Texas, the writ claiming that the act which
adopted the criminal code in 1877 was not
pissed according to the constitution ins1S16,
inasmuch as it did not come before the leg
islative body for its third reading; that the
journal shows no record of such passage,
and that the act under which I Dun
into the code by the codifier appointed
by the Legislature. This writ was
heard in voluminous brief pre-
scented by McMinn before Judge T. S. Maxey,
who denied the petition for Duncan's re-
lease. An order from Judge Maxey
releasing Duncan would have given liberty
TO every prisoner now confined in the penl-
tentiarics Of the state. convicted since the
alleged passage of the act in question in
1877. So thoroughly convinced was McNlinn
that he was in the right he did not abide by
Judge Maxey's decision. but appealed the
case 10 the supreme court of the United
States, appointing as his assistant counsel
eX-Cnited States Attorney Gen. Garland.
The United States supreme court heard the
case last winter and remanded il to the
state court. Thereupon the case was again
reviewed by the state court of appeals.
which court reaffirmed the decision of the
lower court, and McMihn's strong effort at
overthrowing the whole penal code OF Texas
came TO naught, the only result being that
he procured for his client a years longer
lease of life.
