The medical student found that the
child for three years had been sleeping
in the streets of London. The next nlght,
with this lad for guide, he FOUND
bovs asleep in Houndsditch on the ROOF
of ono building. The next nlght ne

MusGRAyE DYING IN PRISON.
Terre Haute Insurance SwindIer Has
Tuberculosis.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, June 20
Word has been received at the Indiana
Reformatory to the effect that Benjamin
R. Musgrave, the notorious convict who
gained notoriety by his remarkable in
surance swindle, is in a dying condition,
and can live but a short time He is now
serving a term in the State Prison for one
of the boldest schemes of this kind on
record. When the Prison South was trans
formed into a reformatory, he was removed
to the Prison North. He is an Englisman
by birth and natural spendthrift, and
was in the habit of resorting to any kind
Of a scheme to secure money to crafty
his extrayagant tastes. Five years ago he
was living in Chicago, engaged in the bro
kerage business, but making no money,
determined to raise some at the expense of
a number of insurance companies.
Annie Burton, a well-known actress, was
taken into his confidence, and he had his
life insured in her favor for $35, 900, the
amount being taken with seven different
companies. With the assistance of an ac-
complete, Charles Mills, a skeleton COM
pairing in size to the stature of Margrave
was secured from firm in ST. Louis. This
was carried to a deserted cabin near Terre
H&ute, where AIusgrave spending the
summer months, and, through Mills, a
number of acquaintances were brought out
and entertained at various times by Mus
grave, so that lney might be used to prove
his absence from the cabin, etc, when the
conspiracy should materialize. One night
in particular he entertained a number of
men from Terre Haute, who stayed until
a late hour AT early hour in the
morning the cabin was burned and Mills,
While apparently making a search for his
friend MusgraVe, called attention to the
charred bones of a skeleton found in the
ashes, indicating that some human being
had been burned. The fire and the sup
posed cremation of the inmate created
great sensation in the neighborhood.
MuSgraVe went to Chicago and disguised
himself On the breast of the skeleton
found a K. of p watch charm, with
the letters r. B. Musgrave engraved on
collect the insurance policies. but the com
panies became suspicious. The fact that
no buttons or trace OF clothing, and hot
vesuge of flesh could be found, aroused
suspicion, and detectives were employed
to investigate the matter. They soon ar
sion from her. Musgrave fed to ST. Paul,
and probably would not have been cap
tured but for his infatuation for the Bur
ton woman He wrote to her disclosing his
whereabouts, and she gave the letter to
the officers He was arrested and brought
back to Terre 1aute, and sentenced for
three years in the penitentiary. His time
does not expire until November 1885, but
if he be not soon pardoned under the ruling
made by Governor Mount, concerning those
convicts suffering from tuberculosis, he
will soon be dead, and it is probable that
he is now nearly dead that his removal
from the prison would not lengthen bis

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 29.-The Debs
colonization scheme has not been ADAM
doned as has been reported. Victor l..
Berger. editor of the Vorwaerts, of this
city, who attended the conference of the
leaders of the social democracy at Chicago
recently says The whole matter has been

of the social democracy all over the coun-

eventually they will get into power and
revolutionize the social system of the Uni

means, they intend To send unemployed
people from the cities to a point in the
West still to be selected, where they may
have a chance to make livelihood. The
colonization scheme is only a side issue
with the social democracy, but Mr.. Berger
says the press of the country have made
it the main plan. Mr.. Debs is in full ac-
cord with the plan outlined by Mr.. Berger.

OLD HOSS" HOEY DEAD
REFUSED FOOD TWO DAYS AND
MIND WAS COMPLETELY GONE.
PitifuI End of the Popular Farce Ac-
mans Huge London scheme.

NEW YORK, June 29.-Actor William F.
Hoey better known as "Bil" Hoey or
"Old Hoss," died to-day at the home of
Mrs. French his mother-in-law, in this
city. While the popular farce comedian
was known to be seriously i'll on account of
his pitiable condition since ne was brought
home last week from Mount Clemens, none
except his most intimate friends had sup
posed that his end was near William
Hoey's mind has been going for two years
or more, although his erratic condition was
not known to a wide circle. Hoey had
been his own worst enemy, and it was a
certainty that it would be only a question
of time when he would collapse. No man
could live long and travel the pace he was
setting. Soon his last successful
season closed, one of the greatest
in his long stage career, he was
sent to Mount Clemens in hopes
that the treatment and rest there would
make him sound for another year, out re-
Gently he became unmanageable and his
mother-in-law. who was as devoted TO hin,
as was his WIFE, went West last week to
bring him here, where he could have the
care of his family. He came back raving
and knew none of his friends when he
reached New York. For the past two days
he was in terrible condition mentally and
refused food Sustenance could not be
forced between his teeth and his wife and
her mother We're worn out with watching
night and day to prevent him doing harm
to himself 1t is not given out just how he
died, but there are various rumors which
point TO tragic end. Mrs. Hoey was
formerly Miss Helen French, sister of Min
ME French, who married Charles Evans
Mr.. Hoeys partner for so many years. Mrs.
Evans is well known as The Innocent Kid
in the. successful comedy, "A Parlor
Match"
William Hoey was born in New York in
1880, and while a boy showed his talent
for farce-comedy work He really made
mis- debut with Tony Pastor in 1874 and then
drifted into the circus and vaudeville bus
mess for several years before he returned
to Tony Pastors company for a five years
engagement with his partner, Fred Bryant.
Then came the black comedy team with
Niles, Evans, Bryant and Hoey and after
wards Evans and Hoey in The Book
Agent" Hoyt wrote "A Parlor Match out
OF The Book agent, and for ten years the
farce had a successful run. Hoey produced
The FIams' and The Globe Trotter,"
neither of which were successes, and last
year returned to "A Parlor Match.

FINED FOR CONTEMPT.
Rush County Sheriff Before Judge
Rooms, of Muncie.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RUSHVILLE, Ind, June 29.-Sheriff Ben
jamin l.. McFarlan was fined $40 for con-
tempt of court at Muncie yesterday by
Judge Rooms The sheriff of Delaware
county sent some papers in a divorce case
to Sheriff McFarlan to be served. Sheriff
McFarlan, over a year ago, adopted rule
not to serve papers in divorce cases from
outside counties unless the papers were ac-
companed by cash for costs. He has so
much unpaid costs in divorce cases on his
books that he took this step to bring the
divorce-seeking deadheads to time. When
Sheriff McFarlan notified the Munce court
authorities that he would not serve the pa
pers in the Kenner divorce case without
the costs he was summoned to appear be-
for Judge Rooms and answer for contempt
of court. Sheriff McF'arlan, Deputy Sheriff
Jackson and Attorney Benjamin l.. Smith
went yesterday to MImcie. Judge koOnS
in passing on the case held that a sheriff
could not claim fees until he had performed
the service for which fees are asked; that
in case his fees were not paid he could re-
sort to fee bill and thus collect them
Sheriff McFarlan has taken an appeal to
the Appellate Court. Sheriffs over the
State will watch the case with interest, as
Dor that has heretofore been performed
generally without compensation will be
paid for in the future. Sheriff McFarlan
retireS from office in August, but is willing
to bear the expense of this litigation for the
benefit or his successors.
