MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Looks Like an Attempt ct Robbery. and Might
Have Been o Case of Murder.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, Aug. 5.-What
was undoubtedly an attempt to murder
was made last night by the use of chloro-
form, at the home of Charles Waterbury.
Mr.. Waterbury has heard that threats had
been made upon his life. and yesterday
evening he returned from q business trip
to Alamo. where he had been in the inter-
est of the creamery. of which he is the
manager. Instead of retiring for the night
no and his wife sat in the kitchen and
talked until III o'clock. When they opened
the door of their bedroom they were stag
gered by the smell of chloroform that came
out, and. in fact, almost overcame them
before they could reach the air.
An alarm was given, and the
windows opened in order to let out the
fumes. 1t took several hours to air the
room sufficiently to permit them To retire.
The police were summoned, and upon ex-
animation it was seen hat some person had
raised q window and thrown into the room
several ounces of chloroform-enough to
have killed several persons in q short time.
The police are endeavoring to ascertain
who purchased this drug at the stores, and
are determined that the guilty person shall
not escape. Some persons. however, think
that robbery was the only object sought,
but when all the facts Iii the case are taken
into consideration it is o plausible theory
that murder was intended. 1t is sure that
both would have been dead if they had
been asleep in the room when ue drug was
thrown in.

MASSACRED BY NATIVES.
Crews of Two Whaling Vessels, Numbering
Sixty Persons, Killed in the Arctic Region.

WASHINGTON. Aug. PA ca~tastropheis
reported by the Treasury Department from
the arctic region. 1t is said that the crews
OF two small steam whaIers, wIntering
near the mouth of the Mackenzie river.
about five hundred miles east of Point
Barrow. have been massacred by the ma
tives Of that region. All told the crews of
the two vessels numbered sixty persons,
well equipped and provisioned for a long
siege. with rifles and ammunition, not SO
much for purposes of defense az for sup
plying themselves with game. Heretofore
the natives have been very friendly TO the
whites. Many of them are well armed,
having been supplied with rifles by trading
vessels, which have exchanged whisky aud
guns for furs. While it is q new thing for
whalers 10 winter in .he Arctic as far east
as these two steamers have, hit men
have spent winters on the shore with the
natives. and have lived with q good degree
of comfort. There are several thousand
natives within the boundaries described.
Reindeer, wild and dOmesticated, abound.
fur bearing animals are found n days
journey into the interior. and game birds
are found in great hocks in the open wa
ters. Whaling crews encamped on the land
would not be under my such strict disci-
pline as might DO enforced on ~shipboard.
and if their intercourse with the natives
was offensive they have probably been
o~verpowered by superior numbers.

Young New Yorker RObs o Pittsburger, but
Quickly Comes to Grief and Prison.

NEW YORK. Aug. &.-Joseph Sherer, a
young maj about twenty years OF age. was
arraigned before Justice White, at the
Tombs Police Court. charged with having
stolen q watch, two pocket-books and $3.50
in money from Andrew Wagner. The com
plainant arrived in this city on Saturday
night with his wife from Pittsburg, Pa. and
put up at the lodging-house where Sberer

his room, and after locking the door. pre-.
sented a pistol ut his head and demanded
all the money and valnables he had.
Wagner gave up his possessions and Sherer
then compelled him to sign q written state
ment that he awarded the goods to Wagner
and would never ask for those things
again." He then released Wagner, who left
the house and looked for q policeman. He
found officer William Fallon, to whom he
told his story. Accompanied by the officer

Richardson and two children. She was

the regular trains had passed. Suddenly,
the engine came upon them. She drew as
far to one side as possible, gathered the
children by her side and oil cronched down
as low as possible. The tender, which pro-
jected further than the engine, struck them
and knocked the mother and larger chill
dren of the bridge TO the rocks, sixty feet
below. The baby was lying fiat upon the
ties and escaped.

CALDWELL, Kan, Aug. %. Col. w. A.
Phillips. attorney for the Cherokee In
dians. is in this city, having come direct
from the East, where he submitted to Pres
ident Harrison his report upon the Strip
situation. Colonel Phillips told the Presi-
lent that the Cherokees attended to live
up to his Cape May proclamation, and the
published statement that they proposed to
hold cattle for other men was totally un-
founded. He informed the President of the
fact that the Cherokees had. in his opin-
ion. q title that at least should be recog-
nized, and they should be allowed the Strip
for their own use. TIE only tax they ex-
pect TO collect from the cattlemen is for
grazing privileges along the trail while in
transit from Texas.

PHOTOGRAPHS IN BUSINESS.

Clever Scheme by Which Travelling Men
 Are Sometimes Identified.
 '"There is no source of annoyance so great to travelling man," remarked one of the fraternity the other evening, Gas the necessity to which we are ire quently put of securing men to identify us when we desire to cash drafts or money orders. We are all of us annoyed and embarrassed at such times, and never saw any scheme to do away with the difficulty until one day last week in Des Moines, Ia.
 After dinner friend of mine said to me: Come down to the bank minute; I want to show you something.'
 we went down, and he remarked to the paying teller:
 "'Draft here for me?'
 "'Yes, sir,' responded the banker.
 Photograph accompanying it?'
 "'Yes, sir.'
 "'Please look at it and see if am the right man.
 ''The clerk did so. He was the man, and a moment later he had the money, and had been subject to no trouble or modification at all.
 'tHe told me as we went out that he immediately returns the photograph to his house. They always inclose it with drafts. It is the cleverest scheme I ever saw."-Grocer and Manufacturer.

PRocuRERs OF CRIME.

Government and Private Detectives Con-
 trastcd by an Ex-COnvict.
 Government and private detective work were entrusted the other day by a reformed eX-convict, who has been 8 detective in both the Government and a private service. He is an old man now, and broken down. Many times he has known what it is to stand up before Q judge and jury and to go behind prison bars.
 "A private detective makes it his business,'' he said, ito encourage crime, while the Government detective is not allowed to put any Inducements to com init crime before criminal. Years ago I was counterfeiter and burglar in New York City. Then reformed and fell into company of private detectives who had known my career. They ap- preached me upon the subject of earn ing more money and getting more en- joyment out of life by entering their employ. I agreed. knew many ex- convicts, and I was instructed by the private detectives to use every means to make them commit crime.
 'There was a clerk in jewelry store. Twas instructed to get into his confidence and offer every inducement for him to steal. They furnished me with plenty of money, and I soon became his inti- mate friend.
 "Then proposed that the clerk steal from his employer and I would take the goods and pass them into the hands of receiver of stolen goods. The clerk was persuaded, caught and tried. es- capped by being backed up by the agen- cy, although was the real perpetrator of the crime.
 ''Some time after that was told that I could earn more money by going into the Government service. went to the | head of the Government Secret Service and told him I had evidence which would convict gang of counterfeiters. The Government's agent told me to go ahead and get allathe evidence I could. But when I suggested that l could do better work if | was furnished money to buy these counterfeit coins from the gang, the Governments officer replied that I could do all I could to gain their confidence, and to try to buy counterfeit money direct from them, but the Government would not allow its de- tectives to do anything to encourage crime or to induce criminals to commit crime. e."-Philadelphia Press.
