TO light some more of his rascality. Many
stories as to his mode of inducing people TO

The total amount of money reported, up to
the present time, which Warner secured for
paid-up stock, is $3.50. A short time ago,
when Mr.. Barkman learned of Warmers ir-
Irregularities and made demand for the re-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, Jan. 1.-THE citi-
zens were shocked this morning when they
heard of the tragic death of Lieut.. j. II.
Connolly, which occurred last evening at
Viewpoint Decatur county, about ten miles
from this place. He had been here attend
ing to private business, and returned to his
home on the noon train. He held the po-
sition of shipper and bookkeeper of the Big
Four Limestone Company, and was last
seen making investigation relative TO some
stone that he had on the cars for shipping.
His long continued absence alarmed his
children. One of them started out to hunt
him, and found his body on the track Of
the Big Four railway horribly mutilated.
freight trains must have passed over his
body. The fragments were gathered up and
placed in charge of an undertaken of this
place Mr. Connolly leaves q wife and sew
eral children. His wife is the daughter of
Ex-Governor Harding. She was at Milan on
visit at the old homestead when her huS-
band was killed.
During the war of the rebellion he was
a lieutenant in the signal service, and won
great distinction and honorable mention
while serving with Thomas, Sherman and
other generals He acted signal officer
in the battle of Chickamauga, Atlanta ana
other battles. His comrades were Governor
Foraker, Howe and CQuinton. At the time
of his death he was drawing a pension o.
s24 per month. His aged father, Rev. Alex
ander Connolly, a Baptist preacher, and
his mother, reside in this city. Both are in
feeble health, and his death Is a sad blow
TO them.

any such revolutionary effects on passenger
traffic will be realized as most people seem
to expect. The maximum speed which Mr.
Maxim hopes for Is TO faster than that OF
an express train, and ii is hard to see how
the aero-plane can be made 50 safe, SO
comfortable, or so convenient as a Chicago

The chief value of the aero-plane, indeed.
seems to be in its importance for military
service. There can be no shadow OF doubt
that the nation which first uses aerial nav
igation will hold it's neighbors at its mercy,
OF what consequence Is the iron band OK

an enemy in the clouds could quietly dump

shell from the sky could bring destruction
and death without any probability OF re-
sistance? Mr. Maxim seems 10 have found
the British good customers, and he may be
sure that when he has a practical air ship
the English will not let il go begging, espe-
cially il their naval rule shows sign OF

to France was given the rule OF the land,
to England that of the sea. and TO the meta
physical German that of the air. The new
generation has changed all that; Germany
has q very potent sway on terra firm3, and
France seems disputing the rule Of the sea
with Britannia Can il be that in return
the island kingdom will have the empire OF
the air? 1t is TO be hoped that Mr.. Maxim
will not keep us too long in suspense.

A YOUTHS VARGARIES.
Muncic Boy Crazed by Reading Sem
satiOnal Literature.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, jan 14.-Charley Burnett,
colored the fifteen-year-old son of Elwood
Burnett. a well-known timber buyer for
a. l.. Johnson & CO., is a raving maniac in
the county jail. The boy was, until re-
GENTLY bright pupil in the public schools,
but his love for sensational literature
caused him to quit school. He soon became
so much infatuated with yellow-backed
stories that he could hardly be induced to
eat or sleep. 1t became apparent recently
that his mind was affected. Yesterday
COMPLAINT was made to the police and they
arrested him. When taken to Jail he had
two revolveS, a razor, dark lantern, mask,
false whiskers in his possession, and his
face was covered with burnt cork, q guam
titv of which he had in his pockets.
Young Burnett frequently called at the
telegraph offices here, stating that he
wished to send important kilograms to
Mick Carter and "Old Sleuth" in New
York. He imagined himself a detective.
When placed in Jail last evening he secured
a lot OF newspapers which he spread about
his cell. He would read them and then
suddenly jump to his feet, run out in the
corridors and down stairs, as If he wanted
to capture somebody. Since being confined
to his cell he Is like a mailman and con-
tinuously raves. He says that he, like
John II. Norris, at Peru, Is being held in
prison TO prevent the exposure of great
crime.
