nYATTSVILLE NOTES.

The Masonic fair closed last night after
most successful run OF ten days.
The attractive women who attended the
booths, and the entertaining manner of
those in charge OF the refreshment room
made assurance doubly sure that the
beautiful home of the Masons would be free
of debt In a cshort time. Then again there
were fair women engaged in competition
for the coveted pirzes offered. and they. too,
worked hard for the object of the fair. They
sailed forth with not only the prize in view,
but to aid in the gratifying prospect of
having their home structure on the free
list. and the result OF this work is summed up
as follows:
Rev. j. a. g. Mayo, rector of the Epts-
copal Church. received the armchair; Miss
Adelaide, daughter of Mrs. R. j. Lawrenson,
received the enameled baby crib: Mr.. Eu-
gene Fowler, the Masonic jewel, and DR..
Cox the Masonic badge. The holder OF
ticket No. 10. as drawn from the box, is
entitled to the magnificent banquet lamp.
tits estimated that nearly 81 900 will be
realized.

THE INDIANA TRAGEDY.
Scott jackson, a Dental student. Arrested
Tor the Murder Of Pearl Bryan.

Tor tlt Murder OF LSarl Bryan.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 6.-.scott Jackson, a
student at the Dental college here, a resi-
dent of Green Castle Ind, has been arrest
ed on kilograms from detectives at Green
Castle on the charge of the murder Of
Pearl Bryan and taken before the mayor
and chief OF police for examination.
He did not exhibit any signs that he
felt humilinted by his arrest. His account
of his whereabouts last Friday was not
satisfactory. He denied guilt, but admit
ted that he knew Pearl Bryan. He could
tell nothing about where she was or whore
she had beon during the past few weeks.
As to his whereabouts last Friday night
his roommate, Mr. Tamey, was examined
first. He said jackson was at home Friday
night That was all he could say, as Jack
son could go in and out whenever he desir-
cd. jackson said that Friday night he was
at supper at o'clock and retired about
10 o'clock The rest of his story is very
vague, though he said he was in his room
all night.
The worst point of Jackson's story-the
weakest part of it's that about his con-
duct on last Saturday. He boarded at 222
West Ninth street, next to Robinson's
Opera House. On Saturday he took va
Al1N anu lNlN lu III l4uhSltI , tttlObut OlpD-
site his boarding house.
This valise he carried with him all over
the city that day. The accounting for this
valisC and why he carried it ali day and
night puzzled him more than anything
else. In fact he prevaricated and after
ward acknowledged that he had lied The
matter will be sifted in court today.
Meanwhile he is committed without
bail
A special from Green Castle, Ind, says:
Tho family of A. 5. Bryan, a leading
farmer living less than two miles from
this city, have identified the clothing
brought here by detectives from Cincin-
natl and Newport, Ky, as that of their
daughter Pearl Bryan. They furnished
other information and circumstances
which leaves no doubt in the minds Of the
officers that the body of the woman muir
dered and bohoaded near Fort Thomas, op-
posite Cincinnati, last Friday night is
their daughter Pearl, aged % years, who
left home Jan. IS, ostensibly to visit her
friend, Miss lane Fisher, on Central ave-
nue., indianapolis. They have made every
possible inquiry and find that she did not
visit Miss Fisher in indianapolis, but that
she was taken to Cincinnati by Scott Jack
son. She took with her "a switch Of hair,
which was brought here by tho officers and
identified.
The shoes that were brought by the Off
GERS here were bought Of Louis & Hays by
Pearl Bryan Nov. is, 1885, and the marks
were identified by the dealers. As soon as
the officers interviewed Mr. and Mrs. Bry-
an and other members of their family they
sent word TO Cincinnati to have Scott
jackson arrested. The mother of Scott
jackson lives here, and the families were
intimate and highly respected The Bryan
family also gave information that led the
officers TO order the arrest Of William
Wood, the son of Rev. D. NJ Wood, at
South Bend, Ind. The tragedy has created
the greatest Excitement that was ever
known in this part of Indiana.

A PRIEST CONVICTED.
Father Fitzgerald Adiudged Guilty Of the
Crime Of Arson.

Crime Of Arson.
ROCHESTER, Feb. 6--After n delibera-
tion of four hours the jury in the Fitzger-
aid case brought in verdict of guilty OF
arson in the second degree. The court
room was crowded, and intense excitement
prevailed upon the reception of the YER
dict Father John NJ. Fitzgerald, the de.
fendant loaned forward in nervous excite
ment as the foreman Of she jury arose to
give the verdict. When he heard the word
guilty, he sank back in his chair, placed
his hands to his face for a moment, but
soon regained his composuro.
Eighteen years ago Father Fitzgerald
took charge of Holy Cross church at Char
lotte. lio dealt extensively in real estate.
For several years past his financial condi-
tion had been growing from bad TO worse.
Several buildings belonging to him, one
after the other, burned. They were all said
TO have been insured for more than they
were worth. Insurance companies refused
to issue any more policies in his namo.
On July Y last the parochial school
house was burned. Seven days before Fa-
ther Fitzgerald placed So, 500 insurance on
the school, the building being worth but
5000.
Father Fitzgerald was out of town at
the time of the fire, but evidence was in
troduced at tho trial that this was but
part of the conspiracy, and that the defend
ant was away simply for the sake Of an
aibi
Itwas proved that Bishop McQuaid had
threatened Father Fitzgeralds removal,
that the church owed him considerable
back salary, and that he thought he could
apply the insurance money to liquidate
this debt.
The maximum penalty for arson in the
second degree is 20 years.
