MURDER AND TRAIN ROBBERY.

Startling Confession OF a m of the
Dalton Gang at Fort Wayne, Ind.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 4-William
Stone, formerly a member of the Dalton
gang, under sentence of ten years here
for numbering Deputy Sheriff Harold,
has confessed to committing murders in
Chicago, Cleveland, Kansas City and
several other places. His story is one Of
q life of murder, burglary, train and
stage robbery, and Is o startling con-
fession.
Stone says that he snd his partner,
VIM. Walrath, killed o nan at Kansas
City in 1883 and robbed him. but later
gave the money to Henry Donnelly, q
policeman, for protection. He confesses
to the murders Of Mrs. Stewart and her
were cut to pieces and thrown into
Lake Erie. He says that the following
morning he killed o boy in the Big Four
yards in L~inndale, Ohio. In Buffalo he
and Walrath, and q man named Burns,
q saloon keeper, killed n wealthy
Western farmer, who vas looking for q
good time. The money was divided
and Stone and Wslrath returned to
Chicago and, with their share, started a
restaurant.
Here Walrath married Stones sister.
MRS. WSlrath oled n Stone and
Walrath left Chicago. Later Stone re-
turned and was implicated in the MUIR
der CT a father and son named Prunty.
Three men are said to now be serving
life sentences at Joliet for the crime,
but Stone WIS not arrested. He then
tells Of a murder at Dunkirk, N. Y,
where Duffy stabbed a pal, Buffalo
Jack" four times, and buried him in
the woods. Another murder was COM
mitted at Union City, Pa, the victim
being an old man named Horton or
Norton.
Another murder was committed by
the trio, neal Youngstown, Ohio, the
victim being g resident of Ashtabula.
The last murder committed by Stone
and Walrath was on April 90. 1895, on
q Pennsylvania freight train. At this
time Stone was shot and did not get
medical aid until South Bend was
reached. The mex desperate act of the
trio was the robbery of q Grand Trunk
train in Michigan, when FIVE watches
and money were secured. Two of these
watches have been identified since their
arrest here:

A horse, M animal said to have once
been quite common in our city streets,
was seen i'll this CITY yesterday. He at
tractcd much curiosity and he was fol-
lowed wherever he went by immense
crowds. 1t is almost impossible to be-
llevo that Il ancestors could have trust
ed their lives to SO formidable u crea-
ture. 1t is understood that the animal
escaped from tho Equine Food abattoir
in Brighton.
An almost unprecedented event hap
pened IL !his city last evening, when
MIR. and Mrs. John Brownsmith cello
DRAFTED the anniversary of their mar
riaSe. Tho Brownsmiths werc married
4 year ago. 1t is quite remarkable for a
couple to live SC long together i'll tho
state Of wcdlOcll, and their celebration
mutually drew TO their residence a
dense throng of admiring friends. Con-
gratulations were poured upon the hap
~ pair, with wishes that they might
continue together long enough to OBJ
serve the second anniversary of their
wedding.
Tho directors Of tho Euripides Manu-
featuring company have been convicted
of the charge Of failure to examine into
the accounts of their treasurer, and have
severally been sentenced to imprison-
ment in tho state prison for q term Of
live years. Their counsel argued that,
lnasmuch as the troasurer's accounts,
rs hoHn by expert examination, were
taultless during his ten years of service
and that no suspicion had over fallen
upon him, the sentence should be light
er, but the court very justly remarked
that the offense was tho same as if the
result had been severe loss to the stock
holders.
1t was curious to see a pedestrian in
Washington street today, the first one
that has been seen in the city for many
years. He occasioned no small amount
of %voxation to the ~unicyclists, i'll whose
way no was getting continually. There
can DO no objection to people walking
Ill their own houses or in the country,
where there is plenty of room. but it is
clearly out Of the question that the prac-
tice should DO permitted in our crowded
city streets.
The death of Solomon Strongmind,
which occurred this morning, calls to
mind tho remarkable fact that during
his long residence of five years or more
in this city ho has never m~ysteriously
disappeared for eve once. Undoubted-
ly MIR. Strongmind was somewhat &C.
centric i'll his habits generally, but in
this especial matter the controlling cause
must have been something far more po-
tent than mere oddly.
A man appeared on the street dressed
in trousers and cutaway Goa yesterday.
He was promptly arrested and carried
to tho station house. When he next made
his appearance he had donned the petit
coats and other garments appropriate to
his sex. Boston TRANSCRIPT.

WALL STREET AND THE MESSAGE.

President Cleveland's message was
not received on the stock market, New
York, with the enthusiasm which has
greeted his utteranc:s of other wears.
This is not through any fault Of tho
document itself. 1t il true. 8 par. OF
Wall street complained to-day because
more space was no devoted exclusively
TO the revenue question, for there are
dealers in nostrums On the stock exa
change as we'll as in the capital, who
profess belief in o heavy, idle surplus
Tor q permanent panacea. But the true
oause OF the markets hesitation, even
'.fter the message had been read, was
The uneasy feeling that. however sound
the Presidents views may BIO, and how
ever urgently he may impress the need
OF early action on tho currency dilemma,
Congress may back and fill, indulge in
partisan recrimination, and end by watt
ing or w%Fangling until another crisis is
at hand.
With the Treasury's gold reserve to-
day 81 per cent. bolow the statutory

port averted only by q small and tenn

bility in Congress, it is little wonder

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message of Governor O'Ferrall TO
synopsis is printed elsewhere ID The
TIMES of this morning, is q lengthy doc.
ument, embracing q full review of all
important State affairs. he very prop
erly %denounces the gambling operations
which until recently were so boldly con
Quoted in Alexandris county, and recon-.
mends rigid Liquidation for their COM
plete suppression.
He does not favor the calling CT 3 con-
stitutional convention, on the ground
reason urged in support of the necessity
for so doing. he defends the Walton
law in some of it's features, and seems to
think that with D few amendments as to
the style and form Of the ballots, il will
be made to meet sill the demands for g
fair, full and free election. The one
constable feature is in his eyes less OBJ
jectionable than on amendment pro-
viding for two such officers, as 1t will
lend more towards intimidation and the
lessening Of the secrecy of the ballot.
His vie We in regard to this law may
suit some Democrats, but they will GER
tainly not prove acceptable to the mass
OF Virginia voters, as he and his party
will discover at the next election,
should the legislature adhere to his
recommendations wholly as to the
changes in the Law. In regard to
lynching his views are much stronger
and better than upon the Walton law.
He condemns this species of lawless-
ness without reserve and recommends
hat counties in which such crimes &C.
iur be taxed $500 for every thousand of
}heir populations, while officers thereof
are to be held responsible on their bonds
for oil such occurrences as msy be due
to neglect Of duty on their part.
He further recommends the creation of
the Office OF examiner OF State banks,
insurance companies and building and
loan associations, said officers salary or
fees to be paid by such banks. insurance
companies and associations; also that all
foreign building and lonn associations
end insurance companies chartered by
this State be required to deposit with
the State treasurer bonds equal to FIVE
per cent. on their capital stock, both OF
which recommendations are sound and
sensible.
His interest in the efforts to improve
the public roads of the State ia COM
m%endable, as are also his recommends
tions that oil forms of prize fighting be
made a felony. On the whole, If the
Legislature grApple with all the subjects
the Governor has touched upon it will
be busy for some time to como.

1t is reported here that the United

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-Egidences are
accumulsting that the notice of new

that the loan will be for 500, 0O0, 900
and that the government reserves the
right to sell an a lditional s100, 900, 900.
The belief that contract has been
made with New York bankers is also
borne out by the fling of applications
for participation in the syndicate with
