Indiana Grave Robbers.

indianapolis, Ind, April 24.-The
criminal court jury in the case of Rufus
Cattrell returned verdict Of guilty last
night on two counts, the first charging
him with robbing grave, that of Mrs.
Rose Neidlinger, and the second with
conspiring with DIR. Joseph @. Alexan-
der. demonstration of anatomy at the
Central College of physicians and sur
geons, to rob the graves. The imprison-
ment on the first count ranges from 3 to
10 wears, and on the second from two to
IA years. The intense indignation
which has continued to prevail in the
northern part of this (Marion) county
and the lower section of Hamilton
county, heightened by the failure Of the
authorities to convict the white ghouls,
found vent Wednesday night at Fisher
station, the old home of DR.. Joseph
G. Alexander, when the farmers fol
miles around gathered in that village
and hanged him in efigy, and not only
DIR. Alexander, but also acting Criminal
Court Judge Bailey, of this city, who
presided at the Alexander trial, and
Hampton West, a resident of that place,
who is awaiting trial in Hamilton county,
as having been concerned in the robbery
of the grave.

Mr.. ANDREW CARNEGIE, who has
amassed a colossal fortune by virtue of
the republican party's Ubiquitous tariff
measures, has during the past few years
DISPOSED of much of his wealth by
endowing libraries and colleges. So
far, however, he has relieved the burdens
fbut few who are fighting for an exist
cnce. or who are battling through adj
verse fortune patiently and silently, but
has placed his money where it will do
but comparatively little good. His last
freak was to give 5000, 600 toward the en-
dowment of negro institute in Ala
bama, and in doing so he says:
| give this without reservation, except
that require that suitable provision be
made from the gift for the wants of Booker
Washington aud his family during his
own or his wife's life. wish that great
and good man be entirely free from pecun-
iary cares that he may be free to devote
himself to his great mission. To me he
seems one of the greatest of living men,
because his work is unique-the modern
Moses, who leads his race and uplifts it
through education, to even better and
higher things than land overlooking
with milk and honey. History is to tell
of two WashingUOns-One white, the
other black-both fathers of their people.
The above needs no comment.

Prenaring for the Conflict.

Berlin, April 24.-The Vossische
Zeitung today asserts that operations in
the Balkan states on large scale are
imminent. In a few days, the paper
says, Turkey will advance $4,000 Tur-
kish troops against Albanian insurgents.
The plan is that after the capture of all
the towns now held by the Albanians,
the leaders will be deported into Asia
Minor. The Koelnische Zeitung reports
that Albanian bands have invaded
Servia, killing and plundering in all
directions. The Servian representative
at Constantinople, the papers adds, has
notified the Sultan that King Alexander
intends to mobilize the Servian army to
meet such incursions.

STRIKERS BLOW UP OFFICE BUILD
ING.-Three hundred and fifty coal
miners on strike engaged in riot at
Connorsville, a few miles above Wheel
ing, w. Va, yesterday, and after driv-
ing an employee they did not like from
the town, blew up the company's Office
with dynamite and destroyed much other
property. Deputy sheriffs are in COM
mand of the situation, and heavily armed
men patroled the works and property ofthe
Connorsville Company Wednesday. The
trouble originated because the company
declined to discharge the boss tracklayer,
William Nixon. The men struck early
Wednesday evening, They decided to
run Nixon out of town, and approached
his house with the purpose of dynamit-
ing it when he refused to go.
Nixon, with the aid of several armed
men, got his wife and children across the
river and refused to confer with the strik-
ers. This angered them, and they blew
up the company's Office building. Panic
reigned for several hours, and many OF
the residents of tibet fed Warrants
are being issued by the wholesale, and
many arresrs are certain to be made.

PRINCE and Princess in Prison.

New York, April 24.-Friends here
of the Princess Czaykowski, daughter OF
Clarence @. Collins, and formerly ward
of Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, we're
shocked today to learn that she is a
prisoner with her husband in CONSTANT
nople. Mr.. Collins information is most
meagre and as the prince is a Turkish
subject, it has so far been impossible for
him to get details, but it is believed that
the matter is political. How that can
be is mystery, as the prince has always
been in high favor of the Sultan and his
family is one of the most powerful in the
Orient. But Mr.. Collins present fear is
that his daughter may be spirited away in
some manner peculiar to the Turkish
nation, and he has visions of her in a
harem.
Clarence L. Collins, father of the
Princess, said this afternoon that he re-
ceived advices from his daughter which
state that both she and the Prince are
safe at the summer palace Of the Prince
in Beyrouth, in the province OF Syrian,
Turkey, of which the Prince is vice gov

Russia, 90 miles west of st Petersburg.
The fight was the result Of long stand
ing feud. There were two thousand COM

The New Cup Defender.

Bristol, R. l., April 24.-The defender
Reliance is to start today on her first spin
under canvas. There is difference in
the steering fittings of the new boat
compared with the Columbia and Con-
stitution. The Reliance is fitted with
two steering wheels, both hung on the
same shaft. Should there be any grip
ping of the rudder, as was the case with
the Constitution in 1901, when that boat
carried her helm a-weather, the trouble
can be easier got over, as there are now
places for two quartermasters to steer
and, if need be, four, two at wheel.
The deck of the boat is covered with
sail cloth of cotton duck, glued on and
rolled hard.

ROYAL engagements.

Berlin, April 24.-The Mogen Post
today declares on the best authority that
an engagement will shortly be arranged
between the Crown Prince Frederick Will
liam and Princess Margaret, eldest daugh-
ter of the Duke of Connaught and niece OF
King Edward. The paper also announe-
ed that Prince Frederick Henry, heir to
the Prince Regent of Brunswick. will
shortly become engaged to Princess
Alice, another niece of King Edward,
and eldest daughter of the late Prince
Leopold, Duke of Albany. The choice
of an English princess for the Crown
Prince, the Post asserts, will be most
unpopular, and Margaret will have to
face the same enmity which the late
Dowager Empress Frederick had to en-
counter. Princess Margaret was born
Jan. 10, 1882, while Alice was born a
year later. The Princess Alice is an
orphan.

morning that the admiralty will shortly
strengthen the British fleet in Chinese

move of the admiralty is ascribed to the
fact that the alliance with Japan, which
was made to block Russian aspirations
in the far East, is not giving the ease
expected, and therefore England wishes
to strengthen her means of protecting
British interests in that section. In
many quarters here, however, the move

would have been declared impossible
until Tuesday, but on that day one was

IN AN address of welcome on Wed
nesdav to the delegates to the annua
meeting of the New England Cotton
Manufacturers Association i'll Boston,
Lieut. Gov. Curtis Guild, jr., reviewed
the general condition Of cotton manu-
featuring in New England and made
comparisons between the industry in that
section and in the South. He quoted
figures showing the increase IN the num-
Der of active cotton spindles in the
country from 1890 to 1902, and said 1t
was idle to deny the fact that the rate OF
increase in tue South was much swifter
than in New England. Hegave further
figures purporting to show that the
South, in comparison with New Eng
land, pays fve-eighths as many operatives
n little over third as much wages for
operating about third as many spindles
Among other reasons he gave forthls
condition of affairs was the utter absence
of excitement in the South and reason
able taxation. New England has for a
number of years viewed the growth OF
cotton factories in the South with no
little apprehension. As time goes on
thew increase in number, and the reason
given by Lieutenant Governor Guild to
the effect that southern people conduct
business without excitement, not being
subject to many distempers which are
characteristic of people Of the North, Is
doubtless the secret of their success

FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL a. 1903.

Former SENATOR JONES, ofArkansas'
,,ho !. in Washington, thinks there Is
much good timber in the democratic
...tv available for the Presidential nomi-
nation in 1904, but says that no man
need expect the united support OF the
democratic party who did not vote the
ticket in 1896 and 1900. OF Mr. Cor
man he says;
IF nominated Mr.. German would make
strong candidate. His nomination,
However will be opposed in the conyen-
tom on the ground of his attitude on
tbe tariff bill in 1894. But it seems tome
# the democratic party fully understood
his nosition on that bill as it was under
stood in the Senate the opposition to HIM
an that ground would not he wide
snread. Whatever the facts were, Mr.
German believed that when the Wilson
hill came to the Senate it would result ID
q deficiency, if passed in that form, OF
500 600. 900. Had there been such a
deficiency he was satisfied that it would
put back all genuine tariff reform Az OF
30 wears. He aimed to make the revenue
sufficient to prevent a deficiency. As II
turned out after increasing the tariff on
sugar 80, 600, 900 or 40, 600, anC
adding $4,000, 900 or 80, 900, GOO tc
other schedules, we finally met de
fciency of 80, 900, 900 or So, 100000. 1
was that view that actuated Mr.. German
and if the convention is made to full!
APPRECIATE that fact do not see how
can hold that against him.
Senator Germans position on tn
Wilson bill is understood by all reason
ablemen both democrats and republicans
and he need not fear losing a single vot
for the stand he took on that measure
