PORTLAND, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE mystery
surrounding the murder of Mrs. Stoltz
seems to deepen Clews have been worked
without avail This forenoon it was sus-
pected that Frank Cullom knew something
of the crime. Cullom had left town yes
terday afternoon, going to Stone Station,
and was at Ridgevile when he heard he
was wanted. He came back on a freight
train and appeared at Mayor Bergman's
Office. Herschel Lafollette, whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the af-
fair, appeared a few minutes later. Both
of these young men were closely questioned,
but maintained their innocence and were
released. The funeral of Mrs. Stoltz took
place this afternoon at Mount Zion, eight
miles from this city. In the little basket
which the murdered woman always carried
were found certificates of deposit, mort
cages and other valuable papers to the
amount of $500, with about 81 in cash.

reward will be offered for the capture of
the murderer or murderers, but this has
not been done. The postal card which Mar

VOICE FROM THE GRAVE
w. SCOTT RAYS CARD AGAINST
JUDGE HACKNEY MADE PUBLIC.
Eastern and western Heirs Contesting
for the Estate of the Late Mer-
chant Lewis Ii. Root.


Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Ind. Feb. 14-Judee
Leonard j. Hackney, judge of the Supreme
Court Of Indiana, is a candidate for renomi-
nation on the Democratic ticket, and the
publication of the following card in this city
this afternoon created no little surprise. 1t
was prepared by the late w. Scot Ray be-
fore his death, with the request that it be
published if Hackney was ever candidate.
It reads:
ITO the Democrats of Iudiana-Under-
standing that Leonard j. Hackney, of Shell
by county, will ask for a denomination for
the supreme judgeship at the hands of the
Democratic party the undersigned Demo-
Gratis Of Shelbyville feel it their duty. to say
that he has voluntarily placed himself out
side of the Democratic household and is
not entitled to Democratic recognition by
allying himself to the fortunes of w. d.
Bynum, John r. Wilson & Co., and voting
against the election of VIM. j. Bryan for
President. By his daily association and
conversation he gave all of his personal in
flUence and what little official prestige he
had to. the election Of William Mckinley,
and denounced the Chicago platform in lam
guage too bitter for self-respecting Re-
publican. His ingratitude and disregard OF
every personal and political obligation is
only equaled by his colossal cheek in ask
ing favors of the party under the circum-
stances. We suggest that he be left where
he has placed himself, while eating bread
at our hands, outside of the Democratic
party

BRAZIL, Ind. Feb. 13.-Intense strife mas
been stirred up in the Democratic party in
this county which It is believed will result
in the election Of the Republican ticket at
the coming election Notwithstanding the
connty is largely Democratic. The Chillson
and anti-Chillson factions are warning, ard
it is difficult matter to determine who win
set the best of the battle. William Chill
son, an old-time Democrat and an acknowl-
edged leader in the southern part OF the
county, was reelected last year county
school superintendent by the votes Of Re-
publican trustees This greatly incensed
many Democrats who claimed that he was
on the point of Hopping" TO the RepuD-
Hcans. They also said he Endorsed the yell
low metal in preference TO free silver Ihis,
however, he denies. Chillson recently an
nounced himself a candidate for superin-
tendent Of public instruction, and at a mass
convention they adopted resolutions oppos-
ing him for the position. However, at
Gratis met and selected Chillson chairman
of Harrison township. This added fuel TO
the fire, and Collisions opponents are using
their best endeavors TO have him ousted
from the craftsmanship. The Democrat or
this city, realizing the imminent danger.
editorially appealed to the Democrats or
the county TO get together ana Dury the
Ratchet This is significant, as the leaders
of the party realize that if the flght is con-
tinued it means a rousing Republican VIC
tory next spring.

TIMOTHY HOGAN CAUGHT.
Arrest of an Alleged Notorious Rifier
of Letter Mail Boxes.

COLUMBUS, o., Feb. H.-Timothy Hogan.
who has eluded all the secret-service men of
the country and the detectives in many
cities as well as several private agencies for
the last year, was arrested tonight at Wes-
terville, village about twelve miles north
CT Columbus. Hogan is wanted for rifiing
mail boxes and passing checks secured from
letters deposited in the mails. Patrick I<el-
ly, chief of the Columbus police, laid the
plans for the arrest of Hogan, who has been
operating in Columbus and other cities of
the State for the last two months. Last
Friday Hogan left the city, ostensibly for
the East but went no further than Wester-
vile. Since that time he visited the city
each day, and all the while was under the
surveillance of detectives from the city
force. When arrested tonight Hogan had
in his possession 120 mail-box keys, secured
In as many different cities in the United
States: also, over two hundred letters which
he had taken from the mails in different
cities in Ohio, principally Columbus. Ho-
gan, when arrested, realized that he had
been caught dead to rights" and talked
freely when brought before Chief of Police
Kelly concerning his operations. He
said that he had a pal, but re-
fused to give his name any informa-
ton regarding MS WHEREABOUTS. IHlel Nelly
however thinks he will be apprehended
Hogan explained in detail how acids were
used to remove the writing from checks
and how he erased or altered them. In
this connection an interesting fact is stated
On all the checks changed or altered, in
which the word ninety occurred, the
word was spelled ''ninty" Thus, by means
of this misspelling, Hogan's operations
were followed from place to place. TO the
chief of police Hogan claimed that he could
neither read nor write, but on an argument
being raised as to the spelling of the word
ninety" he readily proved that he could
read by his reference to a dictionary. Ho-
gan is about thirty years of age and has a
wife and family in Chicago A brother ar
rested in New York, he claims, is not inn
plicated in any way in his operations and
is entirely innocent of the charge preferred
against him. Regarding his possession Of
the keys Hogan refuses to say anything
He claims that during the past year he has
secured by his operations as much as SAG, co.,
but that he and his pal have spent all of
it. He was stranded at Westerville, and
only few days ago had pawned an over
coat in this city, the publicity given to his
operations by the newspapers of the State
having prevented him working successfully
i'm this territory Hogan escaped from
PlackwelPs island, New York a little over
a year ago and has a little four years
of his sentence there yet to serve.

Of the New Albany Gaslight and Coke Com
pany against the city of New Albany was

Mcdonald, the Republican mayor of the
city, contended the second contract was in
valid. One night III 1891 he ordered the gas
posts in the business part of the city dis
mantled and electric arc lights were suhsti-
tuted by rival company. An injunction
suit was decided III favor of the city and
the decision affirm ed by the Supreme Court

was then filed and decided to-day in favor
of the city. The citizens are jubilant over
the victory. Every gas light will be discon-
tinued and electricity substituted.

Hard Fight for Unionism.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Feb. 1.-THE attempt of
the Korsin Chain Manufacturing Company
to operate the plant with nonunion men led
to an application being made this morning
by the workmen for a charter in order to
establish local union of chain workers.
The company declares its readiness to pay
the wages demanded by the union scale,
but adds that it is the purpose TO conduct
the business according to its own ideas,
and, therefore, declines to recognize the
union. The local Trades Council is exertng
all its influence to unionize the factory, and
an animated contest is anticipated. The
local organizations express themselves with
a great deal Of bitterness on the subject.
This is intensified by the fact that the es-
tablishment was voted a bonus of $1,000
from the factory fund which, it is believed,
would not have been done had the pro-
prietors expressed their prejudice against
the labor unions. The factory is only par
