AN OLD CRIME REVEALED.

Finding . Human Skeleton I'm tho Garrst
of an Indiana House.
SHELBYv1LLE, Ind, Oct. 2b.-The finding
Of human skeleton in the garrett Of build
ing in the southwest part of Decatur county
has created great sensation in that vicin-
ity. DR.. John w. Riley, prominent and
wealthy citizen of Sardinia, Decatur county,
purchased at . sheriff's sale q large farm
near that village. He took possession Of
the farm and moved onto ii about three
carpenters to reroof the house, which is .
two.story brick. with one story brick
kitchen. When the carpenters removed tho
old roof from the Kitchen they discovered
an object hanging to three rafters and 30
curely wrapped IN 2 sheet; Upon lnvestl-
eating it proved to be human skeleton.
The flesh had decomposed and dropped
from the bones and the sheet had become
so frail that some of the bones were pro-
truding through it. DR.. Riley at once be-
gan an investigation for the purpose OF
solving the mystery. From ell appearance
the skeleton had been there for years. In
the course Of his inquiry the following
facts were developed:
About fifteen years ago John Clenden-
ming, who owned this farm. died. leaving
as his heirs son John and q daughter
Emma, who was then married to man Ly
Cl0 name Oh OuouA. OAu AA0A Ot0AAUA-
ming left a fortune valued at about $40, 600,
and in the distribution of his estate, the
homestead fell to his son John, who after
ward became reckless ana squandered all
his estate and mortgaRed the farm for his
ndsbtedness. About the time of these re-
verses an incident occurred which cast sus-
picion upon the son and created much talk
for several years thereafter. It was
at this time that 6ne bay
horse was found hitched on the premises.
saddled and bridled. No owner could be
found for the horse. and tbs boy advertised
him as a stray horse. From this time on
young Clendenning seemed to be in a state
Of melancholy. Shortly atterward he dis
appeared, and has never been heard of
since. Shortly before the disappearance of
Clendenning a prominent stock buyer by
tho nams Of Mckinney lnysteriously disap-
peared, and from all tho circumstances
then known it was thought thath had been
disposed of for his money. 1t 10 also said
that whom he left home he was riding a
horse which bore the description of the one
found ON Clendanning's premises. DR..
Riley has become very much exercised over
the matter. It IL thought that Clenden-
ming murdered Mckinney, who had proba-
bly, gone there with view to purchasing
stock, aud that the skeleton is that OF Nc
Kinney. From an examination u was dis
covered that the skull had been punctured.
Investigation is now in progress, and the
mystery will probably be solved.

THE LEPRUSY MICROBE.

An East Indian Physicisn's Discovery
AsitatlDg Medical Circles.
PH1LADELHIA, Oct. 25.-The announce
mont that an East Indian physician had
made important discoveries about the
leprosy microbe has caused much talk in
medical circles. DR.. Deering says: I'm all
likelyhood the discovery that has just been
made is of q method of isolatinR and fos-
terinR the leprosy bacillus. The bacilli
themselves have been known for eight years.
They are rod-shaped and In masses, look
ing under the microscope something like q
heap of jack straws inhabiting the diseased
cslls. Probably this Englishman has been
able to separate the nerves Into single
bacoili. He may also have been able to
cultivate the leprosy bacillus. If he has.
possibly 1t may be available as q remedy.
II might be useful in two ways-frst, used
like Vaccine, after it has passed through
animals, to prevent the disease in man;
second, used rs 10 the erysipelas bacillus as
q remedy for other diseases. do not know
that this isolation Of the bacallus will
suggest any new method Of killing it. OF
course means of killing it have already
the microbes were not killed. and lcprosy il
durable disease.
II strongly urge that the government
take some steps to care for leprous patients.
At present In this city whom leper turns
up the authorities do not know what to do.
They isolate him, but take no steps to treat
him for tho disease. In aneighboring town
there has been case within .
few days OF a lepsr discovered,
seized and imprisoned alone in q
little house away from every one. The per-
sonwho brought him food simply put down
the plate and ran swav. and nothing was
done to onrs the disease. I consider such
conduct criminal. Thenumber Of leapers in
this county justihes the government IN
taking special measures to provide for their
treatment. / can safely say that there are
hundreds Of them in the United States;
some in South Carolina; some in Louisiana,
Some in Minnesota, and few scattered
about elsewhere. come in contact with
three or four cases every year. OF course.
SO long az the disease does not attack the
face leper may 70 freely about and still
keep his condition secret. should recon-
mend thatteither ward in municipal hos
pital in each city be given up to osses of
leprosy or that several institutions be built
in various parts Of the country for the
treatment OF persons afflicted with the
disease"
