A CRAZY BOY WITH An AXE
Mother and Sisters Killed and Four
Others Dangerously Injured.

Cawley, a l7-year-old boy, killed his
mother and one sister and danger
ously injured four other children
early to-day He was laboring un-
der mental alteration, the result of
the strain Of perfecting an appliance
forpatents on an air brake which are
pending in Washington. He also
tried To kill his two older brothers,
but was overpowered and turned ov-
er to the police. The weapon used
was an axe, with which he beat his
victims.
The dead are: Mrs. Hannah Cav
lev, the mother, aged about 10 years;
Belle Cawley, aged l., who sleptwith
her mother.
The injured, who are at the South
Side hospital, are: Josephine, the
baby of the family, aged > months,
head and chest battered; Adeline,
aged 6, skull fractured; Raymond,
aged 6, twin of Adeline, head INJURED;
Agnes, aged 10, head crushed, None
OF these is expected to live.
The Cawleys live in Il neat six-room
house on Second avenue, Homestead,
and last night all the members retir-
ed about 10 o'clock. Mrs. Cawley
and Belle occupied one bed while the
Others, Josephine, Adehne, Raymond
and Agnes occupied other beds and
cribs in the same room, which is on
the second floor rear. Charles, the
murderer, his brothers James, aged
20, and Harry, aged II, occupied
the front room, second floor, Join
ing their mothers room.
About ; O'Clock this morning
Charles quietly arose and dressed
himself, but not putting on his shoes,
crept down to the cellar for the axe.
Coming upstairs, he went into his
mothers room, where the victims
were all sleeping. After turning up
the light the maniac approached his
mothers bedside and crushed her
skull The mother evidently never
knew what struck her, but the crazed
son, thinking that his first blow did
not do it's work, continued to beat
her head.
Belle, the oldest daughter, slept
throughout the time. Charles hur'
ried to her side of the bed and struck
her with theaX, 1t is thought the first
blow slipped and awoke the girl, but
only for second. She did not have
time to scream for the next blow

the smaller children and struck eacl
one over the head with the bloody
weapon.
Believing that he had killed then
all, he started for his brothers room

WOMAN AT THE BOTTOM OF IT.

WOMAN AT THE BOTTOM OF IT..
Pire Bluff, Ark Oct. 9.-Eldorado
was this afternoon the scene of the
worst tragedy ever enacted in Union
county.
Some weeks ago, as the result of a
quarrel, because Bob Mullins refused
to allow his youug lady assistant to
receive her husband elect at his pho
tograph gallery, Mullins was killed
by Constable IL. L. Deering.
Feudist factions developed as n
result.
To-day the factions met. They
were armed and mdiscriminate shoot
ing followed.
Tom and Walter Parnell, brothers,
and friends of Mullins, were killed.
City Physician Hilton was wound
ed. The last three were on one side,
Mat Parnell, another brother, was
wounded.
MILITIA CALLED OUT.
Excitement ran high at Eldorado
tonight and the military company
composed of young men OF the town,
was called into action.
A resident OF Pine Bluff, who wit.
messed the killing of Mullins several
weeks ago, relates that Mullins as
sistant, young lady, was engaged
to be married to Il Texarkana young
man.
The young man called at the pho
tograph gallery and was promptly
elected by Mullins.
Later the young lady sought hel
boarding house, where she met the
young man, and they were married
The couple, fearing violence at Null
Inns hands, secured protection OF tht
constable and city marshal, both o
whom accompanied them out o
town.
Later Deering met Mullins on tn,
street. Deering was armed with 6
shotgun and Mullins and he engaged
| in a warm discussion. Mullins seizeC
the gun and took it from Deering a
the same time jumping behind Mar
shall Guy Tucker.
Deering promptly pulled his revol
yer and shot him.
Deering, Tucker and Newton wer'
walking along the street this after
noon when they met the three Parnel
brothers. Jim Parnell is said tt
have fired at Newton, and in an in
slant this fusillade began. About 1;
shots were fired.
The men we're close together, ant
their aim was deadly. 1t developed
into man.to-man affair, Deerins
and Tom Parnell emptying thei
pistols at each other at a distanc
so close that when they fell, unabl
to shoot any more, their bodie
formed a cross.
The others fired promiscuously
and it is feared that shot from

separate the men, was also shot, bu
not fatally.
The shooting created intense eN

1t VIII BE Paid To-day, and City
officials Are Happy.

Mayor Bookwalter. Controller Breunig
and Messrs. Megrew, Logsdon and Mcguire
held a little jollihcation meeting yesterday
in the office of the Board of Works. The
occasion was the receipt OF word from
Attorney General Taylor that the money
due the city on taxes from the Gallup es-
tate will be paid to-day. This is certainly
a red-letter day for indianapolis" they
said in concert. Here are the Commits
sioners declaring they will build our bridge
for US, and now comes the news that we
are about $4,000 better off than we were
the day before"
Mr.. Taylor did not like the delay that
Edward Gallup, the administrator of the
estate, was causing, and sent him a tele-
gram the other day that the money must
be paid at once or suit would be brought.
A response was forthcoming Immediately.
The telegram stated that a check would be
received to-day from the American Surety
Company of this city.
Tn amount the city is to receive Will be
between $29. 200 and $4,000. The Supreme
Court decision recently made was the end
of a long and bitterly contested suit as to
the amount of taxes due Marion county
and Indianapolis from the estate of VIII
liam =. Gallup. The total amount which
the court found 10 be due, including in
terest for ten years, is 500, 1s1.70
just what disposition will be made of the
city'S share of the collection has not been
determined definitely, although it is stated
that about the first use TO which il will be
put is the construction OF a permanent
pesthouse for smallpox patients outside the
city limits. The money will come in handi-
ly also in making much needed repairs on
bridges over White river other than the
new one to be built at Washington street.

ROBBERY OF TWO SAFES
THIEVES SECURED 275 FROM
REIN & VAN DENSE.
Police as Yet Unable TO Say Whether
the Work Was Done by Ama-
tours or Professionals.

A safe in the office of Rehm & Van
DENSE, in the When building. and another
in the office of II. C. Chandler, on the fifth
floor of the Cordova block, at 25 West
Washington street, were cracked some time
between Sunday evening and early yes
terday morning. Last night the detectives
working on the case had secured no tangi-
BILE clew.
The safe of Rehm & Van DENSE was
opened without drilling. after which the
drilling of a small hole in the thin steel
doors inside allowed the burglars TO get
at the money boxes. These were pried
open and about $275 taken. All of the pa
pers in the safe were examined. but moth
ing besides the money was taken. The
door TO the office was opened with a skele-
ton key. 1t was thought by member of
the firm that the day combination was
the only thing in the way of the free open
ing of the safe, and the robbers knew
enough to try it before attempting TO
break I'm.
The safe of H. c.. Chandler was opened
by knocking off the combination and driv-
ing the tumbler pin in, thus allowing the
free play of the bolts of the safe, which
were thrown back by the weight of those
projecting from the top of the door. The
small money drawer inside was pried out.
The robbers secured but 1885 for their
work.
The detectives said both Jobs were of
the kind which might be expected either
from novices or professionals. There are
many fireproof safes, they say, which may
be broken into as were these with much
less danger of detection than by blowing.
and in shorter time. When a really good
professional finds such a safe he makes
what is called a bunglesOme job, and in so
doing sets the police and detectives off
after local criminals without records, but
whose aspirations and needs might lead
them TO attempt such a job.

CAPITOL-AVENUE SIDEWALKS.
Argument Made by Representatives of
Both Sides.

The Board of Works has deferred action
for a time on the question of placing the
cement sidewalks next the curb or next the
property line on Capitol avenue. from New
York street TO Tenth street. The respec-
tive merits Of each plan was warmly ar
gued yesterday morning before the board,
Attorney r. O. Hawkins appearing for
those who wish the walks next the prop
erty line and Attorney H. w. Hornbrook
for the citizens who desire the walks next
the curb.
In his argument Attorney Hawkins told
the board that a seven-foot walk next the
curb would kill the shade trees and ruin
the appearance of the street. He submitted
additional names to the petition for placing
the walk mex the property line. and in
formed the board that the additions made
a majority of those in favor of the prop
erty-line idea.
For the other side Attorney Hornbrook
said that by placing walks next the curb
other streets have been greatly improved
and the property adjacent has been in
creased in value from 10 to 20 per cent.
He held that the petition of his clients
contains a majority of the names of the
citizens interested.
TIL board announced its policy of follow
ing the wishes of the majority of resident
property owners interested. The city en-
gineer will endeavor to obtain the wishes
of all the citizens living along the line of
the Improvement.

MAYOR SIGNS ORDINANCE.
Irvington Is Now n Part of the City
High School Question.

BY the act of Mayor Bookwalter yester-
day Irvington was formally annexed to the
city. After considering the ordinance
passed by Council at it's last meeting for
the full amount of time allowed by law
the mayor yesterday concluded to sign the
measure.
The mayor during the two weeks since
the ordinance was passed talked TO a num-
her of citizens of the suburb in regard to
the probability of a remonstrance being
filed with the Circuit Court, and decided to
take the chance. a remonstrance against
annexation requires signed TO it the names
OF Is per cent. of the citizens concerned,
n the mayor believes there is no posi-
bility of 70 per cent. of the citizens of Irv-
ington signing such a remonstrance.
The question of the disposition of the Irv-
ington High School has not been consid-
cred by the Indianapolis Schoo Board. but
il is probable, in view of the crowded con-
dition of the city schools, that the Irving
ton High School will be continued for a
time.
