NUTS FOR BRYAN TO CRACK.

Speclai 10 the indianapolis Journal.
GREENFIELD, Ind, June 26.-For some
time Mr.. L. s. jackson, of this city, Dem
ocratic committeeman for the Sixth dis
trict. has been trying TO secure Hon. William
Jennings Bryan for a speech In this city.
To-day he received a letter from Mr.. Bryan
stating that he could come here and spend
the day on Thursday, July 81. Mr.. Jackson
wired him at once that the day would suit
and Bryan will be here on that day. Judge
Tarvin. or Covington, KY, has also been
secured as well as other free-sllver speak
ers. and the Democrats expect TO make a
grand rally. Chances are that the campaign
from the election Of 1s9s will not die out
until after the election of 1900. The Repub-
licans discovered so many discrepancies in
the books OF county officers that they have
been keeping the campaign I'D right along
since November. Democratic officials and
ex-oficials have turned back into the coun-
~ treasury between four and five thousand
dollars OF fees Illegally taken. There are
also on the record at the courthouse nearly
Loco indictments which the grand Jury re-
turned against county and ex-county off,
taken Illegally. Neither Bryan nor any
other man can attract the attention Of the
people of Hancock county away from these
Facts The country is prosperous under pre-
csely the conditions that Mr.. Bryan said IL
could not be prosperous under. The farmers
and people of Hancock county generally
were never so prosperous as they are this
year. Last year about 81, Oo0. 200 worth OF
real estate changed hands, and only about
one-fourth of that amount was recorded In
mortgages. which shows that three-fourths
of the business was done on a cash basis.
During the year the total amount of mort.
announced 10 500. 6S6. while the releases were
nearly twice that amount, being $685. s9.

Time Brings Re%tributiOn on Head Of
Widow StOltz's Murderers.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, June 26.-It is a
remarkable circumstance that death and III
luck has befallen all the persons implicated
In the murder of Mrs. Stoltz, at Portland,
and some of the relatives of those impli-
Gated. 1t is also equally remarkable that
Samuel Marshall should escape conviction
when seven of the jurors were for con-
viction and five for acquittal. Herschell La
toilette. the crippled boy, of Portland, who
was implicated with Musser and Marshall
cut his throat when he saw the officers
coming to arrest him The body of the
Muncie bartender, who was also believed
to be an accomplice in the crime, was found
in a ~decomposed condition hidden in a corn
shock along the railroad where the murder
ers are supposed to have caught the train
that took them out of the city on the night
of the murder. 1t is the opinion of lawyers
here that Marshall and Musser quarreled
was missing from the time of the murder
and had worked with Musser in the factory
of the Indiana Bridge Company at one time.
When Albert Musser was first arrested he
attempted suicide in the Alexandra jail. but
was cut down in time TO save his life. Dur
ing his confinement in the Blackford county
jail his mother died Of grief over her way
ward son. at her home at Lynn, Randolph
county. The Jay county coroner who made
the mistake in fixing the time of the muir
der of Mrs. Stoltz to Friday night instead
of Thursday, which had much to do with
Marshall's acquittal, has since died. Musser
was convicted and is now serving a life SEN
tence. Marshall has since been convicted
Of forgery and his father has committed
suicide as a result OF his sons disgrace.
Last week. at Portland, occurred the arrest
Of Frank Cullom for burglary. Cullom was
one of the first to be arrested as a suspect
of the murder. but for want of evidence in
the preliminary trial was acquitted. He
was captured wearing the pants of a man
whose house had been burglarized. and
stands an excellent chance of going TO the
penitentiary. Thus all who were in any
way connected with the foul murder and
robbery of Louisa Stoltz are either dead
or serving time in the penitenitary. There
were five men implicated.

RICHMOND. Ind. June 26.-The mystery
connected with the vitriol throwing late
Saturday night was fully cleared up to-day.
Two women implicated In the crime con-
fessed. They are Anna Shields and Stella
Thomas. Both had some dealings with
Henry Lennard, the victim, and both were
aggrieved and plotted revenge. Sometime
ago one of them went TO Cambridge City
and bought s%ulphuric acid and tried TO use
1t on Lennard, but broke the bottle. On
Saturday both went to Centerville and pur-
chased the vitriol, and the Shields woman
confesses she used IL and is glad or II.
She is about twenty-nine years old while
the Thomas woman is twenty-five.

NOBLESVILLE. Ind. June 26.-The jury
in the damage case of Mrs. Lillian Shep-
herd against the Citizens Street-railroad
Company of Indianapolis returned a verdict
this morning awarding the plaintiff $500
damages. The suit was for SIS 900. and was
on trial here on change Of venue from Ma
rion county. Mrs. Shepherd was injured in
November, 1897, in alighting from a street
car, The case has been on trial here for a
week and was stubbornly contested. L. l..
Beckett, of Indianapolis. and Christian Il
Christian were attorneys for the PLAINTIFF
and John Duncan and Smiley n. Chambers,
Of Indianapolis. and Judge T. P. Davis, Of
this city, appeared for the street-car COM
pany. Mr.. Beckett's closing gunner In
the case, made last Saturday, is said to have
been one Of the finest speeches ever made IN
this Circuit Court. The attorneys who
watched the progress of the trial were sur
prised that the judgment was SO small. The
jury was very much at variance on the
subject, some being in favor of a large
Juoement, nile TOUR OF them were for the
defendant at the start. 1t is In the nature
of a compromise verdict. The case will
probably be appealed.

"GoId Bricko Game That Failed.

Special to the Indianapolis journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind, June .6.-It Is
learned that the electric-light plant OF this
city. which was purchased Saturday ly r.
Ellison. of Lagrange, and II. M. Herbert,
of Cambridge, was bought for less than
$500 This winter quite an issue was
raised when the city was negotiating for the
plant. The Electric-light Company demand
ed $4,000 and not a cent less. Almost
enough Of the councilmen were in favor of
purchasing Ii at that figure, when public
sentiment and a threat by leading citizens
to enJoin such a move put an end TO the
negotiations. The fact that the plant .old
for $4,000 is evidence that the figure asked
the city was exorbitant. The city paYs the
company 5000 a year for street lighting,
and the contract has but four years to run,
when the city will put In it's own plant.
The success of municipal ownership Of tie
water-works system in this city has given
the citizens confidence that an electric-light
pant can be as successfully and cconom-
ioally conducted as that enterprise.

purpose of robbery. Cunopop's. body was
shipped to Chicago last night for burial.
Horwitz is still in the City Hospital and his
death is expected. The boy refuses to talk,
but his father said to-day that the boy did
