INDIANA.

lndianapolis.-IIaet returns this after
noon indicate heavy Democratic gains in
Southern Indiana strongholds. These
will reduce the estimates of the big Re-
publican pluralities early in the day, but
from present indications will not affect
the general result which is that McI[in-
ley has carried the State. The Rcpubli-
cans probably elect nine Congressman.
lndianapolis--50 ont of 90 counties in
Indiana show Mckinley plurality of 81
coo. If the other counties vote as they
did in 1892 they will give Bryan plurality
of 5,253, but there is every reason to cx-

Monument mt Chicago
Fnlsifes History.

LOWELL, Mass, Feb 12'-ln the course
of his address at the annual encampment Of
the Massachusetts, Grand Army Of the Re-
public today Commander Thayer alluded to
the dedication OF a confederate monument
in Chicago on last Memorial day. He said:
THE lesson taught by the monument is an
erroneous one; this statue Of a confederate
soldier, which they placed upon 1t in rags,
with wasted body, intended as an imputation
that our government maltreated its prisoners,
10 a standing falsehood and the dedication
on Memorial day, which we have set apart
fer memorial services in honor Of our fallen
comrades, was an insult to every man who
wore the blue
my protest was explained by the posts of
this department and by thousands of loyal
men all over the country. Do not let them
use the monument at Chicago as an entering
wedge for other cities of the north. We may
join with them in extolling the heroism OF
the people of the south, but we must not
be asked to countenance or to palliate the
gigantic crime which they committed in seek
ing the destruction of the union, or to allow
attempts to distort the facts of history to
go unrebuked.

let them forsake the errors of the past and
not seek to perpetuate them"

bury was taken from Jail at Sullivan shortly
after midnight this morning and lynched by
a band of masked men.
Those in the mob were fully armed and
several carried sledge hammers. They made
little attempt at concealment, but went
directly about their work. About midnight
they approached the Jail, where Atterbury
has been confined for the last ten days,
charged with the double crime of numbering
his father and of assauiting the wife of his
brother.
The leaders demanded the surrender Of
Atterbury and the sheriff refused. He was
reinforced by a single deputy AS soon
as his refusal had been communicated to the
crowd a rush was made for the iron doors.
An immense crowd gathered rapidly, but no
one nterfered with the work of the lynchers.
The sheriff stood before the door Of the cell
rccm and warned the raiders to desist. He
fred his revolver and was Immediately dis
armed. Half a dozsn blows with sedges
took down the doors and then the men
marched upstairs, yelling their commands
and threats against any interference
Atterbury's cell was in the upper tier.
The raiding party knew his exact CELL and
the sledge hammer brigade was instantly
piloted there. Half dozen blows sufiiced
to break down the portal. Atterbury fought
like demon, but was forced down the stairs
and there seized and bound. He was taken
to the court yard, two blocks from the jail,
where frantic multitude greeted his ar
rival with a roar Of curses and the cry of
Hang him." hang him."
The man fought as he was hustled along.
II am innocent" he shouted over and over
again. Thank God, you are hanging an
innocent man." as they held him under the
trees in the court house yard and bound a
rope around his neck. No attention was paid
to his protestations or his pleas. The end
of the rope was tossed over a limb of a
tree. A hundred hands grasped for 1t. A
dozen grasped it and the rope slid over the
ice covered limb and the mans utterance
was choked with the Tightening Of the loop.
The rope was bound around the trunk of
the tree and the mob stood back and
watched the final writhing form whom every
one in Sullivan believed guilty of two
heinous crimes.
