SHANE WAS THEATRE,
But His Nerve Failed and He Dropped
the Arsenic.

William Shane, a young married man, who
lives in the block at 755 Massachusetts ave-
nue. tried to make his family believe he
was desperate man last night about 10
o'clock, but his nerve failed him in the at
tempt and he ran away from home. The po-
lice last night tried to find him, so that they
might lead him back to his wife to tell how
sorry he was. He had a little ''spat' with
his wife during the evening and left the
house. When he came back his father-in-
law, his brother-in-law, and several women,
besides his wife, were in the rooms Shane
and his wife occupied.
Shane took the opportunity to make a
play" He stalked to corner of the room,
faced his audience, pulled out bottle con-
tanning ten grains of arsenic, which he had
bought while he was gone from the house,
threw back his head and, it appeared, swal-
lowed the poison. Immediately an uproar
began The people in the room frantically
ran out to call the police and the City Dis
pensary. AT this time Shane spit the ar
senic that he had taken into his mouth out
on the floor, and spilled what remained in
the bottle. Then he took to his heels and
left the house. DR.. Flora MacIvor, of the
City Dispensary, answered the call. The
police were asked to find Shane, and the
arsenic on the floor. Shane is twenty-three
years old. His wife was asked if he had
struck her. "Oh no!' she replied, 'he
wouldn't do anything like that" 1t is eX-
pected that Shane will return to his home
before long and be forgiven.

AN OLD SERGEANT TO GO
BANNER COMMIssARY MAN AT CAMP
MOUNT ORDERED AWAY.
May Mean an Early Movement or the
CoIored Companies to
Santiago.

The two colored companies at the fair
grounds continue to hope and wait. The
old feeling of doubt as to whether the men
will ever get away has again set in, and
things are gloomy in the little camp.
To add to the general depression, the gov
eminent has ordered Sergeant Weston away.
He has been in the regular army service in
Camp Mount ever since the first regiment
landed in the fair grounds. 1t has been his
duty to issue the rations for the troops, and
Major Peterson considers him the most
competent man he has ever seen in the COM
missary department.. Hereafter the rations
will be issued by the regular commissary
sergeants of the companies under the super
vision of Major Peterson. The taking away
of Sergeant Weston is thought to be a pre-
liminary to the movement of the colored
troops to Santiago. Had it been decided to
Keep the men in camp here for any length
of time it is not thought likely that Ser
geant Weston would have been withdrawn.
He goes to Fort Preble, near Portland, Me-,
where 1t is expected camps for convalescent
soldiers returning from Santiago will be es-
ta5flshed. Sergeant Weston has been in the
regular army twenty years, and when at
home keeps house with his wife, at Fort
Washable, Wyo.

FRIGHTENED HIS CAPTIVE.
Ben Harper, Another Newspaper
Thief, Caught by a Carrier.

Ben Harper, large colored boy, was ar
rested yesterday morning early by Bicycle
Patrolmen Holtz and Wallace for stealing a
Journal from the residence of DIR. Soils
Runnels, 504 North Capitol avenue. For
several weeks past reports were made by
DR.. Runnels to the carrier that he had
failed to receive his paper on Sunday morn
ings. A week ago yesterday George Gilt
ner, the carrier of that route found boys
following him and collecting the papers as
he left them. They We're more than a
match in point of size and number and he
could only wait He found telephone and
the police were notified. Giltner had watched
the fellows and both were caught. The
next morning they were given workhouse
sentence and slight fine.
Yesterday morning after throwing the pa
per into the yard of DIR. Runnes the carrier
saw Harper slipping up after it. Going
around an alley he came upon the boy I'M
expectedly and took the paper still folded
as ii had been thrown, from the fellows
pocket. 1t was then a question of disposing
of the negro. Giltner was unable 10 forci-
bly, take the fellow to a telephone and he
refused 10 go peaceably.
''Will you stay here until / come back?"
said Giltner, pushing him to a fire plug
which was at hand. And the fellow was so
frightened that he stayed right there until

Giltner returned, after having telephone
for the police.
OPEN FREIGHT CAR DOOR
Caused Death of n Child Riding in
a Pullman Car.

A peculiarly distressing accident occurred
on the Pennsylvania train coming to this
city from Louisville yesterday afternoon.
When about ten miles from that city,
at Cementville, little boy about eight
years old was killed and the por-
ter on the Pullman car Bounges had an
arm broken The train had just got under
full Roadway going about forty miles an
hour, when there was a snap like a pistol
shot, then grating, scraping noise. A gem
tleman in the front end of the car COM
planned of an injury to his arm, a lady in
the center of the car walled that her child
was killed, and the porter. sitting in the
rear of the car. fell in the AISLE Investiga-
ton showed that the door of refrigerator
car on a side track had been left open care
lessly and 1t struck the passing train. One
of the cinder shields on the Pullman broke
off and flew in the window, striking an
eight-year-old child of Mrs. ]. ]. Megel, of
Memphis, Tenn, on the head, inflicting a
wound that was necessarily fatal. The
child's skull was crushed and the frontal
bone in the forehead broken. Mrs. Megel
was en- route from Memphis, Tenn, to visit
relatives at Seymour. The child was lifted
from the train. but was dying. The porter
of the car, Ambrose Russell, had his arm
crushed. He was taken off at Columbus and
carried to the railroad hospital there.

DEATHS AMONG VOLUNTEERS.
Indiana's List in Present War Has
Reached Fifteen.

The Indiana volunteers, while they have
not engaged in any of the battles of the
present war, have none the less suffered
loss from death. From the reports received
from the different camps a list Of deaths
has been compiled, as far as possible, with
dates and causes, as follows:
Private VIM. G. Cannon, Company L, One
d-and-ffty-eighth Regiment, Koko-
mo, May IA, at Camp Mount; injuries re-
ceived In scuffie with fellow-Soldier.
Private AlonZo Andrews, Company 1, One
hundred-and-sixtieth Regiment, Elwood,
shot by negro at Newport News Aug. Is.
Private Frank Britton, Company NJ, One
d-and-ffty-eighth Regiment, Craw-
fordsville at Chickamauga, Aug. II, ty-
phoid.
Tampa Aug. is, typhoid.
Private Fred Archer, Company G, Qne-
hundred-and- ffty-seventh Regiment, Fort
Private Richard l.. Kinds, musician, One
hundred-and- fifty-ninth, Noblesville, at Fort
Meyer Hospital, Aug; II; typhoid;
pany 3, One,hundred-and-fifty- seventh,
Regiment, Fort Wayne, at st. Petersburg,
Fla, Aug. s, typhoid malaria
Private George Butler, Company G., One
hundred-and- fifty-seventh Regiment, Fort
Wayne: at Fort THOMAS. Aug. 7. malaria
R Sepany IN
dianapolis, at Chickamauga, Aug. 0, typhoid
Private Macy Avery, Company d, One
NunQr6Q-dnQ-IlIty-SeVe regiment, North
Manchester, at Fort Thomas, July q, ma
larial fever.
First Lieutenant Charles Slade, Company
G, One-hundred-and-fif ty-seXenth Regiment
Goshen, at Tampa, July 20, malarial fever
Private William Everitt, Company A, One
hundred-and-ffty- ninth Regiment, Vim
Private Albert Jenkins, Company G, One
hundred an fifty-eighth Regiment, Frank
fort, at Chickamauga, July /.
Private Charles Cation. Company B, One
dred-and-ffty- ninth Regiment, Terre
Haute, at Fort Myer, pneumonia
Sergeant Arthur Jones, Company E, One
hundred and-ffty-S eventh Regiment, Elk
hart at Fernandina, typhoid fever.
1t will be seen from this that the One
acknowledgements Regiment has
suffered to the greatest extent; also, that
nearly all of the deaths came from typhoid
and kindred diseases. The record is rated
as remarkable, when it is considered that
over 5000 men from this State have been
in camp for four months and the PERCENTAGE
of deaths is so slight. At this rate, were
the troops to stay in camp for year, the
death rate would only be about six in one
thousand under the same conditions. Under
this showing the death rate among the sol
diers is much less tran that of the city OF
Indianapolis, which Is about u 4-6 a thou
sand. All this indicates that the mortality
caused by the bad conditions in the camp
has not been as great as was expected, and
further indicates that the Indiana soldiers
must have been in the best OF condition tc
so we'll withstand the unwholesome climate
of 1.-The devils summer home, as Tampa
has been designated by the soldiers who
have been there.

Roach home. Yesterday at noon only TWEEN
ty-dre dined together there In the after
noon members of the organization came and
went and many of them did not stay long

The Indiana Soldiers Aid Society received
a telegram from Colonel Durbin, of the
misunderstanding Indiana Volun-
teers, in camp at Jacksonville, asking for
hospital supplies. Within forty-eight
hours the women of the society collected
and sent to the regiment two hundred jars
of fruits and jellies, several dozen cans of
soups and broth and many dozens of tow
els, sheets, pillows and pillow cases. Many
OF the contributions came from working

Ripple who saw the request in the Journal
added to the supplies. Yesterday the fol-
lowing letter was received by Mrs. John L.
Grifdths from Colonel Durbin, at Jackson
vile. explaining why the supplies were
asked for:

IN receiving your letter of the 14th inst,

more it will afford me pleasure to send an
other. only yesterday l passed and in
spected the division hospital, and 1 made
up my mind, in connection with my sur
geon-Major Smith, a noble, kind-hearted,
generous man-that our sick could be bet
ter cared for within our own lines, and
we have started to furnish a tent This we
must do at cur personal expense, as it is
expected that all sick will be sent to the
division hospital. 1 mention this that you
may know that your tender came at an OPP
you might furnish us certain things, which,
l can assure you, will be gratefully re-
ceived and remembered. We are nicely To-
Gated, and, barring the heat, we are all
pleased. Our water is good and abundant,

of the camps in the South"

Adjutant George w. Powell Of the One
hundred-and-fifty- eighth Regiment, is not
candidate for the captaincy Of Company
M. of Charlottesville, as people in that town
thought and, he says, has never had any
reason to believe that Colonel Smith in
tended to recommend him for the place as
indicated in the papers yesterday. On the
contrary Adjutant Powell is very much in
terested in advancing the interests of George
S. Harvey, a n-commissioned officer of
the company He said last night that after
Captain Alexander resigned one of the
members of the company asked him If the
company was unable to agree on a second
lieutenant and it was found necessary TO so
outside the company for captain, whether
he would accept the place. Adjutant Pow
ell replied that in the first place he wanted
to serve Harvey and in the next place he
believed in promotions by seniority With
the first and second lieutenants promoted
there would be chance for Harvey to be-
come second lieutenant. He said, however,
that If the comany could not agree on a
second lieutenant among the men who
wanted the place. and some one from the
outside had to be selected, he would be glad
to consider the matter IL the comany
wanted him. 1t is possible that the report
that he was a candidate started from this
conversation.
