ARRESTED ANOTHER SUSPECT.
Seymour officials Now Believe the Two Men
Who Killed Marsh Are Behind Bars.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SEYMOUR, Ind, Jan. 9.-The one topic
uppermost in the minds of the people of
this city to-day is Developments in the
Marsh murder. 1t is now almost definitely
settled that there were two criminals IN
the job-one. at least, colored, the other
one outside. From within an hour
after the tragedy suspicion has
strongly pointed to a man who has been
implicated IN crooked work here before.
and who is known 20 have been here on the
night of the murder, and who left here
hastily on q freight train the following
morning without eating breakfast that
ne had ordered, and presumably went to
Washington, where his mother resides.
This man is Alexander Carr. For several
days past Carr has been shadowed
by John McGoyern, who went to Washing
ton Thursday in company with William
Rice. sheriff of Scott county. and kept Carr
in close surveillance. Last night Frank
McGovern received q telegram that the
man was located in Washingt and went
down. He arrested Carr IN q house in that
city. and left on the first train with orders
to stop at BrOwnstown, where Carr was
placed in the county Jail
The friends of Carr found that John Nc
Govern was spott:ng the suspect. and a
brother of the accused and several others
assaulted the detective, who has only one
arm, and shamefully beat ana mlstreated
him. At the depot in Washington q dispo-
sition was shown by the gang to interfere
with the officers in the discharge of their
duty and attempt to rescue Carr. but an
opportunity TO look squarely into the muz-
zle of Frank McGovern's revolver dis
suaded 10 from all lnclinations in that di-
rection.
Frank McGovern remarked IN an inter-
view this morning: I've got the knife,
and I'm pretty sure that Eve got the right
man." The man Sherwood now under ar
rest ct Newport, KY, answers the
description given by parties along
the way In every particular, and
James Squirting. colored man. and anoth-
er were taken by Mr.. Hodapp to establish
the identity of the man in custody. The
theory on which the work is being carried
out is that Carr and Sherwood are accom-
plices In the crime. That Carr raised the
window and fastened it up with the knife
and stood guard on the outside while the
burly negro entered and carried ont the
plans of the robbery. That when the
men-Marsh and the burglar-had fought
their way around the house TO where Carr
was standing, and seeing that Marsh was
getting the best of the tight he fired the
fatal shot, and while the negro fled in one
direction Carr started In the other-back
down town where he ordered his breakfast,
which he did not stay to eat-and was
among the first If not the very first one, to
tell that Marsh had been murdered. being
careful TO say 'Cebe Marsh has been mur.
dered. but did not do IL. ~

CHICAGO, Jan. Q-Edward w. Campbell,
who was the principal witness against
Sidney Bell. who was convicted in San
Francisco last summer of the murder of
Samuel jacobson, a somewhat noted ''man-
about-town." and sentenced to death to-
day. made a full confession, which was
communicated exclusively to the United
Press, to the effect that he was forced to
testify falsely by the police authorities
and that the real murderer was one Henry
Swartz, WHOM, he saw escaping from the
house q moment after the shot was fired.
The confession. which covers near
ly twenty pages of type-written
manuscripts, goes into full details
of the alleged conspiracy against
Bell, and says that another witness named
Schmidt, who was under Indictment for
burglary, and committed suicide shortly
after testifying against Bell. did so because
the police had failed TO release him as the
agreed price for his testim ony. According 10
CampbelPs statement jacobson came home
TO find his sister in the company of SwartZ.

Numerous meetings recently at which vio-
lent and incendiary language had been
uss,i. One conflict between the military
and the mob lasted two hours. After plum
derlpg the town the Anarchists attempted
to destroy 1t by means of dynamite and
petroleum. but they were baffled by tho
military.
The Cabinet council to day discussed the
Xeres affair and ordered the authorities to
deal with the rioters with the utmost rigor.
The audacity displayed by the Anarchists
in attacking city where battalion of
infantry and a regiment of cavalry are
quartered is regarded as alarming and in
explicable.

A Strike Decided Upon by Them Unani-
mously at 4 O'Clock This Morning.
President Frenzel Refuses to Meet the De-
mands Made by the Committee That Wis
tied Him at His House.
People Will Be Compelled to Walk Down
Town This Cold Sabbath Day.
By This Strike One Thousand Men Are Thrown
Out of Employment-A Turbulent Meet
ing Of the Brotherhood.

The long-talked-of street-car strike was
declared at A o'clock this morning and not a
q car on any line will run to-day.
At 2:S0 o'clock this morning. after re-
peated attempts had been made to get
President Frenzel to meet the committee,
the latter was sent to his residence on
North East street.
Mrs. Frenzsi came to an upstairs window
and was 10th to arouse her husband. but
the committee finally prevailed upon her
to do 1T.
The conversation that ensued between
President Frenzel and the spokesman of the
committee was short and laconic. -.
He said he had nothing further to
say to them; that he could not
meet their demands. The committee at
once returned to the meeting In session in
the fourth story of the Griffith Block, on
Washington street. and laid the matter be-
fore it.
1t was unanimously decided to 60 out on
q strike this morning. 1t was then 4
o'clock. This throws one thous-
and men out of employment.
G brotherhood man said he thought
the strike would not \ be of
long duration; that Mr.. Frenzel
would come to terms sometime to-day.
In case he refuses and the tle-up is pro-
tracted any length of time, the result can
not be anticipated. Trouble is apprehend-
ed if an attempt should be made to run the
cars with non brotherhood men.
The street-car brotherhood met in the
Griffith Block this morning at o'clock to
receive the report of the committee of con-
ference with Mr.. Frehzei. :. $500
At 8 o'clock this morning there were a
good many indications that the street-car
employees would go on strike
to-day. The men had taken a
recess and their boisterous talk
could be heard on the street below. Pres
ident Frenzel was to have been at the
meeting this morning, but he telephoned
that he could not be there, but
would meet them at 10 o'clock
this morning. The men were in no humor
for any thing of this kind. as their actions
plainly told.
At 2:30 O'clock one of the men was heard
to say: "It is Co." Mr.. Frenzel was han
died without gloves by the speakers.
The street-car employees have been
worked to q high pitch since the CON-
pany issued ITS recent order prohibiting
them from riding on the cars only under
certain conditions. Last night q Virginia

We can ride at any and all times. we will

erts be stated that he was convinced that
the only practical means OF preventing fur
ther blOodshed and keeping down the out
laws would be for the Governor to place
Stevens and Seward counties under mar
tial law. General Myers and the Adjutant
Will unite in recommendation to the Gov
ernor to take this extreme step. It has
been demonstrated in the case of James

auired here for long time to come.
The coroner's jury. which has been in
vestigating the circumstances of Sheriff
Dunn's death, completed it's work to-day,
but the verdict was not given out. War
rants for the arrest of several more persons
were issued. and were placed in the hands
of deputy sheriffs who will serve them un-
der police protection. The six prisoners
are being guarded by the military. All the
troops are now concentrated at this place.

A Hermit Hunter Found

Last Saturday two hunters from Clear
field who were out in the wilds of the
Alleghanies found dead man in Andy
Reese's camp on Boon's mountain. The
dead mans name was John Gilland,
and for several years he had lived alone
there in the mountain fastnesses with
no companion but his dog save when a
hunting party would locate at the camp
for short season. For months at a
time he never saw civilization, living
exclusively on the game and fish he
could shoot and catch.
For long time he lived in hut made
Of bark, fashioned like an Indian tepee.
He wandered over the mountain with
dog and gun, and seemed to enjoy his
solitary existence. When found it was
evident that he had been dead several
days, perhaps weeks, and the gaunt and
emaciated form of his faithful dog was
by his side, almost dead from starvation.
And he would no doubt have remained
there and died by the side of his dead
master and never dreamed of deserting
his post. Dogs sometimes do things
that make us ashamed Of our humanity.
The body was taken to Clearfeld and
buried on Monday. 1t is presumed that
the man died of pneumonia or some kin
dred disease, as he had pulmonary
trouble. -Punxsutawney Spirit.

Signs of Spring in a City.

The present forward weather seems
to be great season for the small boy.
He gets more solid enjoyment out of the
warm days and the dry sidewalks than
the street cleaning department of the
BOARD of public works. Every small boy
who is anybody down on the heights has
pair of roller skates and good strong
pair of lungs. These boys play hockey
on the asphalt pavement of that exclu-
sive quarter, catch rides on the backs of
grocery wagons and keep up constant
and eternal yelling. Why they yell does
not appear. 1t is perhaps because a
small boy cannot do much of anything
without yelling. These boys go scurry-
ing around corners on their skates in i'm
minent danger of cracking their own
skulls and to the great terror of passers
by. They dodge under the heads of spir-
tied coach horses and altogether make a
fresh and healthy nuisance of them
selves.
Those poorer boys who are not wealthy
enough to afford each pair of roller
skates, split up pair between two and
go about pushing the wheeled foot in
front of them, evidently having as
much fun as the rest. The whipping
top is also now much in vogue, and the
tops and the rollers make life burden
to the nursemaids with their perambu
lators and babies and the policeman on
the corner.-B Brooklyn Eagle.

"A Brave Man.

Charles Mougenot, a young engineer
on board the ironclad Admiral Baudin,
has just had his right hand amputated
at the Toulon Military hospital as the
result of injuries received in the follow

withdrawn it at that particular moment
might have caused serious accident to
the big ironclad and thus have endan-

all danger was averted, by which time
his hand was literally torn to pieces. He
