CINCINNATI, Feb. 5-Late tonight
Chief of Police Deitsch received from
Greencastle, Indiana, a telegram
signed by three of the detectives who
are working upon the sensational muir
der case at that place directing him to
arrest one Scott Jackson, a student at
the Dental college, and to charge him
with the murder of Pearl Bryan. The
chief of police was also directed to
search for William Wood, a friend of
Jackson and a supposed accomplice
The detectives stated that they were
on their way to South Bend to search
there also for Wood, who is described
as a blonde, smooth faced youth of
twenty years. The detectives also in
formed the authorities here that the
clothing found on the headIess trunk
of the murdered woman had been posi-
lively identified by Pearl Bryan's re-
latives.
AT II o'clock tonight young Scott
Jackson, an effeminate looking man "a
years old, of light complexion and
wearing a sandy mustache, was taken
into the mayors office here and put
through most rigid examination by
the mayor and chief of police. Though
the ordeal lasted until midnight he
came through 1t with apparent calm
ness. Jackson was then committed to
the city prison without bail.
To the mayor and chief of police the
culprit denied any knowledge of the
revolving murder at Greencastle.
though admitting that he knew Pearl
Bryan. He claimed to have slept at
his lodgings on last Friday night, the
night of the murder and sent for an
other 1odger at the same house. a Mr.
Lamping, to verify his statement
Lamping stated that Jackson came in
about 10 o'clock Friday night, but
that he had no means of knowing
whether Jackson remained in his room
all night.
The worst part of Jacksons story
the weakest part of it's that about
his conduct on Saturday. On Saturday
he took valise and left it in a saloon
opposite his boarding house. This
valise he carried with him all over the
city that day and evening. The theory
is that the head of the murdered girl
was probably in that valise and he
was travelling about with it to destroy
it without being discovered. The &C
counting for this valise and why he
carried it all day and night puzzled
him more than anything else. In fact
he preVaricated and afterwards ac-
knowledsed that he had lied.

Astonishes Them.

LONDON. Feb. GA New York dis
patch to the Daily News says:
The success of the loan is astonish-
ing and shows that the investing pub
lie does not fear that the country will
adopt a silver standard.
The Daily News says in an editorial
on the same subject:
Certainly, compared with previous
experiments of the kind, its popularity
is remarkable and President Cleve-
lands confidence is amply justified
Its success will repair the damage to
credit and will steady public con-
fidence. Still Secretary Carlisle will
not fail to impress upon his country
men the costliness of these experiments
for maintaining the reserve. Probably
the most satisfactory feature to Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle
is the proof Of public confidence in
their financial policy"

LONDON IN 1765.

NJ. Grosley. who visited London in
1865, notes that the old pious salutation
of anyone who sneezed, which still pre-
vailed in his own country, had been
abolished in England by the use of
snuff He was given 10 understand
that to salute a snuff-taker in these
circumstances was like complimenting
him on the color of the hair Of his wig.
This color, by the way, he announces
in another place, is usually brown, be-
ing chosen as least affected by the mud
and dirt of the streets. This ingenious
eXplana ton. like his statement that
Pope was not buried in Westminster
abbey because he was a Catholic. and
that Queen Anne in st. PauPs church
yard wears a hoop, seems to suggest
that some of his obliging informants
must occasionally, in eighteenth cen
fury parlance, have treated Mr. GrOS-
ley to "bite." But, in saying that
his chapter of clubs is disappointing. it
must not be forgotten that he visited
one very remarkable specimen of this
all-popular Georgian institution-the
society of robin Hoodians." at whose
freethinking discussions Fielding pokes
rather cumbrous fun IN the Covent
Garden Journal.

which he was told by Lord Chester

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 5.-A case
was concluded in court here today
which has caused great interest
throughout the north part of Laramie
county Several weeks ago, the resi-
dence of Hon. John Hunton, at Fort
Laramie, was robbed. Fred Wilson, a
young ranchman, informed the officers
that he had secured the track of the
thieves and guided the sheriff to the
hay stacks of William Bright, a neigh
Dor, where some of the stolen goods
were found concealed. Bright was
tried, but proved his innocence. Will
sons zeal in the matter turned sus-

BRAZIL.
British Minister Ordered to Recog-
nize Her Sovereignty in the
Island of Udad.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Herald's
correspondent in Rio Janeiro tele-
graphs that the British minister has
received q dispatch from England or
dering him to recognize the sovereignty
of Brazil in the Island of Udad. 1t
is now probable that Brazil will permit
Great Britain to establish a big coal
ing station on the island for her south
Atlantic squadron, and that she will
grant the right to lay cable on its
shores. The Herald's correspondent
adds that in diplomatic circles there
is great satisfaction expressed at the
amicable settlement of the question.
The Brazilian capital is greatly ex-
cited over the news from Para re-
ceived today to the effect that the
French gunboat Begal, patrolling the
waters in the disputed territory of
Amapa, on the frontier of French
Guiana, had seized a cargo on board
a boat sailing under the protection of
the Brazilian flag.
The press of Amapa calls upon the
Brazilian government to make Wig
orouS protest to France.
