Special to the indianapolis Journal.
FRANKTON, Ind, May 29.-The wife of
Marion McCord. who lives southwest of the
city. died recently under suspicious circum-
stances. The report was that she had been
poisoned, and rumor connected the name
of her husband and a young lady who was
working for him as a domestic. The grand
jury, however, on investigation, refused to
return a bill. When Mrs. McCord was
buried there was no funeral preached, but
it was to have been preached on last Sum
day. The Rev. Page, of Upton, had been
engaged by McCord to preach the funeral,
but when the services had been commenced
Moses McCord, father of the widower, arose
and said in an angry and threatening man.
ner that many of the people had gone be-
fore the grand jury and sworn to scan
dalous lies, and were liars. and that until
they had acknowledged that they had lied
in spreading the poisoning story the funeral
should not be preached. Marion McCord
then used language of a similar nature.
Many people left the church in a towering
rage, and the affair is considered one of
the most disgraceful that ever occurred In
a church in this county. Moses and Marion
McCord were arrested at Frankton yester-
day, and are going TO make a stubborn
fight. They will retain attorney Ballard,
OF Anderson, to defend them.
A dispatch from Anderson says that Aft
davits were filed there to-day. and a num-
Der of arrests are to be made in this case.

CROP
New Method Of Gathering Information
to Be Put Into Effect.

WASHINGTON, May pa scheme to
make an important change in the system
Of crop reporting is about to be put into
operation by the Agricultural Department.
1t will provide for detailed reports from a
vast corps of correspondents covering every
township in the country and it is expected
to be as thorough and complete a plan as
will be possible for the government to
carry into effect. A correspondent will be
located in every township and he will be
required to report directly and promptly
to the department. The plan will first en-
brace only twenty States, ranging from
New York to the innermost of the Central
States, but these comprise 30 per cent. of
the wheat area. They include 1889 counties
and the greatness of the scheme is appar-
ent when it is taken into consideration
that the number of townships in a county
averages about fifteen. This was used in
conjunction with the system now in vogue,
each set of reports acting as a check on
the other. The present system provides
for one chief reporter in every county.
who is expected to receive and properly
weigh the reports of three others in the
same county. There are now about 1900
chief correspondents and about eight thou
sand correspondents in all. Steps looking TO
organization of the personnel of the new
corps of reporters have been taken by the
department, but the new plan cannot be
put in operation before next year. H. A.
Robinson, statistician of the department,
is sending the following circular TO county
officials throughout the twenty States:
"A large increase in the sources of infor-
nation available in this division in the
preparation of its crop report is desired.
In pursuance OF a suggestion of the COM
mittee of the National Board of Trade, in
recent conference on the subject of crop
reporting with the Secretary of Agriculture
and the undersigned, ii is proposed to Sc
cure, if possible. a capable correspondent
in every township, election district or
other subdivision of every county, instead
of depending, as heretofore, on the report
of a single correspondent in each. You are
invited TO assist the department in carrying
out this object by submitting the names OF
two or more residents in each township
or other subdivision of the county, stating
their calling and postoffice address. 1t is
not desirable to limit the names submitted
physicians, grocers and others may be
found we'll qualified for the purpose. The
object of securing more than one name is
that the department may be able 10 COM
municate directly with the second person
named should the first be found unavail-
able. For this reason, also, you are re-
quested to submit the names In the order
of their probable availability as corre-
spondents. The only considerations which
should weigh in making a choice are the
party's opportunities for keeping we'll in
formed in regard to crop matters. and the
intelligence and conscientiousness neces-
sary 10 supply intelligent and honest an

CHICKAMAGUA BATTLEFIELD.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal

Special to the indianapolis Journal. -.
MARION, Ind. May e9.-Interesting facts
omitted in the history of the famous battle
of Chickamauga, redounding to the honor
OF Indiana troops. were given out to-day
by Col. George w. Steele. who has spent
some time in securing tardy justice to GER
tain Indiana regiments. The battle OF
Chickamauga is more talked about just at
the present time than any other conflict
OF the long civil war. Indiana troops
played a prominent part from the beginning
TO the end of this two days battle. being
among the first to arrive on the ground
and the last to leave. Recently the battle
field has been purchased by the govern
ment. and will be converted into a ma
tionaI park; monuments will be erected
showing the position of each regiment.
None did more important work than that
of the Indiana Vol
unteers. They came to the assistance of
Gen H. v. Boynton in the nick of time.
and were the last to leave the field, as the
correspondence between General Boynton
and Major Steele on this subject now
shows.
Colonel Steele asked General Boynton, of
the Observation-Disclosures Indiana regiment.
Colonel Steele's, and the Sixty-eighth, re-
lieved Boynton's brigade on Sunday night,
were the last TO leave the Chickamauga
battlefield. Mr.. Steele does not claim the
Indiana troops did any fighting at the wind
up. but does claim they came up in time to
support Boynton at a critical moment when
the rebels were forming a line of battle
on the opposite side of a ravine. The In
diana troops drew up ready for battle eX-
pecting to become engaged and greatly re-
lieved the situation.
General Boynton's reply describes the
closing scenes of the battle on that Sunday
night. and entirely verifies Colonel Steele
in his claim. General Boynton adds that
the situation had become strained on ac-
count of the withdrawal of ~Steedman's
brigade. He learned this at shutdown, and
the new rebel line being formed opposite
he learned of at the same time. He says
at that fortunate moment the two Indiana
regiments came up and Generals Brannan
and Van Deweer directed that Boynton
should place them, which he did. There
was only one volley fired after that, and
Kel.y's men replied from the rebel line
with a weak volley and retired. The
Observation-Disclosures and Sitxy-eighth In
diana Regiments then were in the rear
when the Union troops withdrew, ard were
the last to leave the battlefield.
