POISONED HIS WIFE.
How an Adams County Man Disposed
of His Better Half.

Suecial to the Indianapolis Journal
DECATUR, Ind, May G.-Since the death
of Mrs Frank Graham at Monroe a few
days ago there have been ugly rumors
about the cause of her death, which was
followed by a hasty burial. Relatives have
caused an investigation, and to-day the
coroner and physicians of this city held
post-mortem. The body of Mrs. Graham
was disinterred and the stomach showed
evidences of poisoning. From the testi-
mOny of witnesses it was shown that Ora
ham. after abusing his wife, had procured
package Of rough and ready, deadly
poison at a drug store in this city and put
some of it in cup OF coffee which his
wife drank causing her death. Two days
before administering the poison Graham
gave his hired hand a silver watch if he
would quit drinking coffee. A cousin of
the dead woman testified that some one in
the house had poisoned the medicine left
bv a physician some time during the
night the last dose of which FASTENED Mrs.
Graham's death Her two small children
took small drinks of the poisoned coffee
and came near dying. but are now thought
to be saved. There is great excitement at
Monroe. Graham acts very queerly since
his wife's death, and refuses to talk A
lynching bee is looked for as soon as the
coroner returns his verdict. Graham has
been a prosperous farmer, and was mar
ried about three years ago to a young but
prominent woman OF Monroe.

81 ecial TO the Indiar apolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, May 27.-The stu
dents at the State Normal School are talk
ing about the unaccountable disappearance
of John E. Dunkin, a married man, and
Miss Stella Miles, and it is the common be-
lief among the thirteen hundred students
that it is a case of elopement, Dunkin has
taught a school at Eminence, in Morgan
county, for several years, and Miss Miles,
who is the daughter of a well-known farm
er in that neighborhood, attended the En-
inence school. After graduating under Dun
kin she became his assistant. Both re-
signed their positions in the middle of the
last term Of school and this spring came
here to attend the normal. Last Wednes-
day Miss Miles left her boarding house
and no one has heard of her since. The
next day Dunkin left his quarters, but re-
turned on Friday for his trunk, saying he
was wanted at home on the farm. A tele-
gram to the marshal of Quincy, near Dun
kins home, brings the response that he
knows nothing about the affair. President
Parsons says he thinks there will be a sat
isfactory explanation for the departure of
the students. Dunkin has a wife and two
children.

The selection of Winona the next meet
ing place of the Presbyterian General AS
sembly is a triumph for the management
of the Indiana Chautauqua, and a matter
for general congratul alton. The bringing
of this great body to a place so rural in
character and so remote from the centers
of population was looked upon by many as
a doubtful experiment, but that it fulflls
the requirements of the delegates is amply
demonstrated by the practically unani-
nous vote to return there next year. The
fact that this choice was made with Phil
adelphia and Minneapolis other posi-
bilities emphasizes the compliment to Win
ona, and is an added feather in the cap of
it's management. The fame of the Indiana
assembly grounds is now we'll established

tiona! interests suffered along with manu-
featuring, religion with railroads, home
charities with wooden mills and foreign
missions with machine shops. The annual
report of the Presbyterian Board of Home
Missions submitted TO the General Assem-
bly, Oh Monday says:
The result of all this is readily told. Capt.

great trust companies; millions OF splndles

to draw the earnings of former years to
support their families. Even the revenue

diminutiOn Of from $f0000,0O0 to $50,0U0.0 OO a
year. In view of this condition OF Things,
it is not strange that our hospitals and or
phan asylums, our tract and Bible societies.
and especially our missionary boards should
suffer a serious falling OF IN receipts.
Owing to the hard times and other causes
there was a gradual falling off in the re-
ceipts of the home board during the past
four years. The financial panic struck the
country during the summer of 1898, and IN
a short time affected every department OF
business. AS might be expected, the home
board at once felt it's effect. It's income
was reduced during the year 1854 Sl5lUVU
The deficit in the receipts of the year lS94-o
amounted to SIP 41496 There was during

the year 1928.
But for the reference to Bible societies
and missionary boards this might be an eX-
tract from a report of a campaign commit
tee on the results of Organism. 1t shows
that the storm struck the church as well
as the state, and who can estimate the
damage done by the dminution in activity
of religious benevolences? The report of
the Baptist Missionary Union did not go
so much into detail but it showed that the
mission work Of this church has felt the
effect of hard times quite much as that
of the Presbyterian Church. No doubt the
same is true in every branch of mission
work and organized charities. The damage
done in these ways by the free-trade and
free-silver agitation cannot be estimated
in dollars and cents.

COST OF THE FREE-TRADE AND
FREE-SILVER AGITATION.

Different estimates have been made as TO
the cost of the war for the suppression of
the rebellion. They all run up into the
thousands of millions, but no doubt the
highest estimate is far too small to cover,
not only the direct cost of the war; but its
indirect and remote cost in the Interrupt
ton of productive industries, the retarding
of development, the increased burdens of
taxation, etc. The same is true in a meas
ure of the free-trade and free-silver agita-
ton which began in 1892 and eliminated
last year. Efforts have been made to esti-
mate the loss inflicted on the country by
these causes, but as time passes it becomes
apparent that large as the estimates have
been they are too low. Recent develop
ments have revealed a new field of loss in
the Gripping of church work and especially
of missionary work through the shrinkage
of church revenues. The reports of the
Presbyterian Board of Home Missions and
of the Baptist Missionary Union submitted
to annual meetings of the governing bodies
of the churches both show that they have
suffered severely from the hard times,
which, as everybody knows are the result
of the free-trade and free-silver agitation.
OF course most persons are more impressed
by the direct losses caused by such events
than they are by the indirect and remote
losses. Let us recall for a moment some
trade agitation were fully developed in
1898, the first year after Mr.. Cleveland's
election. During that year. according to
Bradstreet's and Dun's reports the bust
ness failures exceeded by % per cent. those
OF any previous year Up to that time the
largest number of business failures in one
year was 1884, in 1891. In 1898 there We're
1850 The liabilities also far exceeded
those of any previous year lDun's review
estimating them at S542 ,747. The number
of failures during 1894 was still larger, but
the liabilities were somewhat less. There
was no improvement in 1895 or 1886 until
after the election, when revival of conf
| denee began which is just beginning to be
felt in business Vast as these figures are,
they represent but small part of the bust
ness losses during these disastrous years.
They represent actual failures while thou

HUSBAND IN THE WAY.
Generally Believed that Grant Heath
Was Poisoned.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMFIELD. Ind May N.-Grant
Heath, a prosperous young farmer living
east of here, died suddenly ten days ago
of stomach trouble. A few days later there
were rumors that the man had been poi
soned. Since then an investigation has re-
vealed a revolving crime. The body was
taken up yesterday and a coroner's inquest
held in this city. The stomach will proba-
bly, be sent to Indianapolis for analysis.
According TO the evidence at the inquest,
Grant Heath and wife, who occupied farm
east of town, had a serious quarrel on ac-
count of the wifes relations with Marion
Lay, who, with his mother, lived at the
house. A few months ago Heath took a
job and during his absence from home
thing their own way On May s. after a
quarrel, Heath hired Lay to move OIL the
place and leave the county. 1t was then
shown that on May young Heath came
to Bloomfield and purchased arsenic at
EVeleighs drug store. AT dinner two days
later Grant Heath claimed his coffee did
not taste just right, and told his Wife so,
and she retorted that he didn't have to
drink it if he didn't want to- She poured
him another cup, which he drank put 1t
made him deathly sick and he left the
died five days later.
Roy Baker, young man working on the
place, was at dinner at the same table with
Heath on May 10, and he also claimed that
his coffee had been tempered with and re-
fused to drink it after Heath had spoken
of it. He suspected poison at once. Young
Baker took sick similar to Heath, two days
later, but recovered. Heath told a neigh
bor John Inman the night before he died
that he had been poisoned, and when his
brother gave him glass Of lemonade he
remarked that everything tasted as If 1t
had poison in it. -.
The body of Heath was taken up this
morning and a post-mortem held. The
coroner has withheld his verdict pending
further investigation. Heath was twenty

A Pittsburg paper, commenting edito-
rally on the reports of-the national banks
of that city, just published, says:
Loans and discounts approximate $45,O0O,-
coo. an increase of more than $Z000,O0O since
President McKinley's inauguration, and,
with two exceptions, the largest in the his
tory of the banks. The increase in deposits
within the same period was only 81, 800 900,
so that instead of money piling up in idle
ness here, as reported elsewhere, employ
ment has been found for additional funds,
and the outlook is favorable for the con-
tinuation of this state of affairs.
Further comparison shows that the banks
have found employment for $5,00O,0O0 more
cash during the year 1897 thus far than they
did during the corresponding period in 1880
or 1882, which are now regarded as years
of prosperity. Perhaps the times are really
not as hard as many persons think they
