Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
LOGANSPORT, Ind, March S.-Yesterday
morning the body of Philip Petrie, of this
city. found on the Wabash railway
track in the city. His head was severed
from his body and lay a few feet away
The facts pointed TO suicide. He had quar-
relied with his wife and as she was sup
posed to be in the country, his body was
taken to the undertakers and she was noti-
fed by telegraph This morning an awful
sequel was revealed. In putting Grape on
the door of his dwelling, the undertaken
noticed a peculiar odor and made in
vestigation. In a room which showed the
marks of violent struggle was found the
body of Petrie's wife. Her throat showed
that she had been strangled and the body
indicated that the woman had been dead

piece of paper on which Petrie had writ

four months old. She has done all the DIS
grace she can make me. She not make
more. She promised Good Foust to marry
him as soon as him and wife get divorce.

thought I'd give her a rest. My wife can
bring no more disgrace on me- Bury US

NO ROBY INDICTMENTS
Judge Gillett Gives Lake County
Grand Jury a Searching.
Shocking Tragedy Near Logansport-
Young Married Couple Tricks the
Guests-Lightning's Franks.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

HAMMOND, Ind. March S.-The Lake
county grand jury failed to return any in
dictments against the Roby Fair Associa-
ton, or any person connected with it 1t
examined nearly one hundred witnesses,
and the members made a personal visit to
the grounds. The visit was made contrary
to the courts instructions, and when they
were called before him yesterday he Sc
verely censured them for disobeying in
structions. 1t was 2:S0 o'clock this after
noon when the jurors reported to the court
that they were through with their bust
ness and returned a few indictments
against various persons for minor offenses.
When the court found that no indictments
were returned against the Roby people he
said
THE court has noted the fact that no in
d1ctmentS have been returned against the
Roby people. think ii Is only fair to say
that the court has been advised that the
failure to indict was on divided vote and
that some of the members of the grand
jury must stand acquitted OF charge of
refusing to indict. 1t seems to me. speak
ing now to the members of the grand Jury
who have refused to indict, that you have
utterly miSconceiVed your functions where
the fact of guilt is as plain as 1t must have
been in this ELSEWHERE 1t has been boldly
advertised that the law was being vio-
lated. 1t is not possible that there was not
SUFFICIENT evidence to show the guilt of the
gentlemen, when you were impaneled you
took an oath to the effect that where EVIL
dence was introduced before you showing
crime had been committed that you would
indict. While the court has no power to
compel you to indict, l want to say that
the responsibility for acting as you have
in this matter must rest with you. / am
glad to say that some members of the grand
jury are not responsible for this miscar-
riage of justice. You are now discharged"
1t was learned this evening that the jury
stood three for returning indictment and
three against Those in favor of it were
George E. Bailey, Eli Edmunds and Rob
ert ]. Wilson; those against, Peter Geisen,
foreman, Henry Seegers and William Lob
man. Judge Gillette said tonight that he
was not trying to prosecute anyone, but
that certain duties devolved on him, and
he thought he had fully discharged them.
Prosecutor Mcmahon said that, as no in
dictmentS had been returned, the next step
would be to file informations against the
bookmakers and arrest them while they
were in their boxes selling pools. When
this will be done was not learned

son Observation-Disclosures Features.
The free list is not so much changed as
had been supposed it would be, and the abb
stractions from ii are far more numerous
than the additions. The date when the free
list shall go into effect is changed from
June l, 1894, to June 30, 1894. Apples of all
kinds are stricken from the free list and
placed on the dutiable list, as are also
beef. mutton and pork and bone char suit
able for use in decolorizing sugar.
Bituminous COAL shale, coal slack and
coke are transferred TO the dutiable list,
leaving anthracite on the free list. Cocoa
fibre is made dutiable. Diamonds and 9th
er precious stones. rough or uncut, are add
ed to the free list. Floor mating is made
dutiable. Dates, cocoanuts, Brazil nuts.
peanuts and gambler are also taken from
the free list. Cod oil is made free of duty.
Sailed CUTS disappear from the free list.
Iron ore is taken from the free list and
also olives and orchids, aZaleas and palms,
and other plants used for forcing under
glass for cut flo Uers. Double and twisted
silk or silk advanced in manufacturing any
way, to pay duty.
Sugars are to be moved to the dutiabe
list. There is a touch of reciprocity or re-
lation in a proviso attached TO the para
graph admitting plowS, harrowS harvest
ers and other agricultural implements free,
the proviso being to the effect that all the
ARTICLES mentioned in THIS when
imported from any country which lays an
import duty on like articles coming from
the United tSates shall be subject to the
duties existing prior to the passage of this
act"
The free list also contains the following
new paragraph: ANY cattle, horses, sheep
or other domestic animals which have
strayed across the boundary line into any
foreign country, or where such domestic
animals have been or may be driven across
such boundary line by the owner for pas
turage purposes the same may be brought
back to the United States free of duty
under regulations to be prescribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury" The provision
for the free admission of horses for tenn
porary exhibition under the auspices Of
racing associations is eliminated
The administrative features of the bill
are substantially identical with those of the
House bill. This insures the extensive
changes from the present law. the House
bill made a comprehensive revision of the
entire administrative system. The changes
made by the Senate are mainly of a tech
nical character, suggested by the experts
of the treasury for the further perfecting
of the administration of the act In esti-
mating duties on an article not specially
enumerated in the BILL the Senate bill says
that ii shall pay the lowest rate on the
article it resembles, instead of the highest
rate. the Wilson bill provided. The ex-
ception in the Wilson bill as to personal eff
fects not subject TO duty is enlarged to
read: And personal and household effects
specifically enumerated in the new list Of
this act"
