TWO MONTHS' PAROLE Ui The Rev. William K. Hinshaw, under sen tence to life imprisonment for the murder of his wife, who was released on parole from the State Prison at Michigan City the last week in November that he might visit his aged mother, who is on her death bed, will be in Indianapolis a few hours to-day on his way back to prison. His sixty-day parole expires at midnight to-night, and re will surrender himself to Warden Reid several hours before that time. Hinshaw arrived at the home of his mother, six mdes south of Winchester, in Randolph county, the day before Thanks giving, and has spnt all the time of his parole there. At the time he was released it was thought that his mother could not survive more than a week or two, and it was at her earnest prayer to see her son once more before she died that ho was per mitted to leave the prison. Seeing her son proved more effective than medical treat ment, however, and Mrs. Hinshaw rallied remarkably. She Is still alive, but it is only a question of a few days or weeks until death will come to her. Members of the family express fear that she will not survive the final parting with her son to-day. HtnshaW will arrive in the city at 9:25 o'clock this forenoon and will leave for Michigan City at 12:20 o'clock on the Lake Erie. There has been some little talk to the effect that he would never return to prison, and that his parole would be in definitely extended or that a pardon would be grunted him. However, no such action has been taken by the authorities. His relatives and friends have by no means abandoned hope of securing a pardon for him, but no action can be taken now until the State Board of Pardons holds its next m Utfort, which will bo early in March. Hinshaw is the second life prisoner who was ever permitted to leave the Indiana prfe n on parole unaccompanied by a guard.

MORNING, JANUARY FORCED TO RESUM E THE OF SILVER Manila Hanker Says Mexican Dol lars Were Put in Circulation at the Bavonet's Point. BANKS UNDER PRESStTRK MANILA, Jan. 22. Manager Jours, of the Hong-Kong and Shanghai Bank, during the public discussion now going on, declared that prior to the passage of the supple mental currency act banks received a letter from General Merrltt on the strength of which the. importation of Mexican dollars was resumed after twenty years' prohibi tion. The importation of this coin was not vol untary, he said, on the part of the banks, but was forced ou thern by the military authorities, practically at the point of the bayonet. American soldiers entered the banks demanding local currency for gold, some even going to the length cf enforcing their demands at the muzzle of a revolver. There were 23.000 troops landed within three months, to pay whom the quarter master and paymaster drew letter! of cred it for half a million sterling, which Jours on his part found himself obliged to con vert into coin and consequently closed the bank. General Greene then Issued an order that unless the bank opened and changed these drafts into money for the troops he would place Jours under guard and threatened to lock him up. RARE FOSSIL FOUND. South America Yields to Science Its First Ichthyosaurus. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, Jan. 22. News of one of the most important geo logical discoveries ever made in South America has just been received at the Uni versity of California from Astronomer W. If. Wright, head of the Lick observatory expedition now in Chile. The find is a re markably perfect speelmen of the ichthyo saurus, and the significance of the discov ery lies in the fact that South America has never been known previously to furnish any specimens of the prehistoric Silurians, so valuable to science. This interesting fossil was discovered near Coquimbo, Chile, and the specimen has been unearthed in almost perfect condition. Other valuable specimens have been found in the same place. BROWN UNDER ARREST Elkhart Bank Officials Held by Marshal Pettit, Who Later Went to Find Walter Brown. LATTER WITHOUT BOX!) Fpf'rial to th Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART. Ind. Jan. 22.-The expected happened when Justus L. Brodrlck and Wilson L. Collins, president and cashier, respectively, of the defunct Indiana Na tional Bank, were rearrested to-night by United States Marshal Pettit, of Indian apolis, as the action of the federal grand jury, which suddenly closed its work this forenoon, had been anticipated. The men were arretted on warrants some weeks ago issued on affidavits filed by a bank ex aminer, and were under $5.000 bond each. Marshal Pettit will tak them to Indi anapolis to-morrow unless they are able to furnish new bonds under the indictment. Marshal Pettit was accompanied by Deputy Rankin, who went to the home of Walter Brown, and then, having been informed that Brown was at Lima.

HIGH WATER IN 1ER AND BREAKING OF ICE E From Broad Ripple to City the Ice Gorge Leaves Mark on Boats and Bridges. BIG BRIDGES YET STAND Damage to W ashington - Street Structure the Source of Much Inconvenience. JOHX CH0YE IS LOST His Life and that of His Wife Sacrificed The Day's De- vel pments. Yesterday was a day of suspense to many people in Indianapoln. In addition to the loss of two lives, material damage has l) en w rought by the high water and Ice In White river and Fall creek, in this city and at Broad Ripple, that will amount to about fUtfOO, by a roush estimate. This in cludes damage to the wooden truss work under the River-avenue, Morris-street. Washington-street, Michigan-street and Xorthwcstern-avenue bridges, to the stone v pier of the river bridge at the Crawfordsville road. to one of the small steel suspension bridges at River side Park and the bathhouse and other property at the Canoe Club and the floating dock across the river from that place, and to the Aquatic Club's boathouse, the steamboat Sunshine and Denny Sullivan's workshop at Broad Ripple. This allows something, also, for the destruction of sev eral houseboats in the city and the destruc tion of small craft along the river. A hasty bisection of most of the river bridges and the property of the Canoe Club by reporters for the Indianapolis Journal yesterday afternoon and last evening and com munication with the city engineer and In terested persons all along the river, indi cated that the material damage would not go above the figure stated. MOST SERIOUS DAMAGE. The most serious damage, or at least that which will entail the greatest amount of inconvenience and delay to street car and other traffic, was that done at the West Washington-st. bridge across the river. The first break In the ice at this point, after the long period of waiting Thursday after noon, came at 6 o'clock Thursday even ing. With a great roar and a crash, the gorge of ice that had formed above the bridge broke, and immense masses of ice were hurled against the wooden piles that supported the structure. The bridge trem bled and wavered before the attack, but held. Again the ice gorge formed, only to break again at 2 o'clock yesterday morn ing, and again the bridge withstood the fierce attack. When daylight came it could le teen that it would have taken but lit tle more of an onslaught to have wrecked the bridge completely. As it was, se rious damage was done. About one third of the way from the western end of the bridge, the supports were loosened and wrenched from place so that the floor of the wooden structure sagged perceptibly, and the pole supporting the trolley and other wires in the center of the bridge at that point was thrown out of perpendicu lar, indicating how near to collapse the whole structure had been. At this point a great mass of driftwood and smaller ice floes collected all day and was being st. .tdily added to as darkness came o. last evening. It appeared, however, that the greatest danger was past and no more damage was expected unless caused by an unprecedented rise in the river, and this appeared impossible because of the colder weather that set in during the evening. At the River-avenue, Morris-street and Northwestern-avenue bridges the damage done was to the wooden truss work under neath tiie floors and between the stone piers. This is serious only in the loss of time and the great inconvenience to large numbers of people that it entails. It is not consid ered at all probable that any further dam age to these bridges will be done, although various rumors of the complete collapse of one or the other of them were afloat yes terday afternoon and last evening. With the receding of the water in the river and Fall creek, the repair of the damage pro vided conditions grow no worse than now appears will probably be a question of only a short time. A PIER DAMAGED. At the bridge across the river on the Crawfordsville road the easternmost of the two stone piers was so seriously damaged by the masses of ice that were precipitated against it that all traffic across the bridge .was stopped. A row of the large stones that project Into the stream and form the break water lot" the jiier were torn away and a (CONTINUED ON PAGE t, COI L t ACTOR STOPS SINGING .

BRIDGES GONE OR GOING Costly Peru Structure Barely Holds Its Own Narrow Es capes Rain Turns to Snow. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DELPHI, Ind., Jan. 22. Over fifty houses are under water within from three to ten squares of the courthouse in this city. The water has not been so high sinee August of llsTö. The day has been one of saving the lives of people, horses and eattle and of the destruction of much property. Boatmen have been moving people from their houses along the Deer creek bottoms. West Delphi and north of the Monon station. The unusual rise of the water was caused by a gorge at the Junction of the Wabash and Deer creek. It is thought that the ice has partially gone out and the gradual rise will stop within a few hours. The levees on both sides of the river near the bicycle bridge that crosses the Wabash are under water and the Deer creek prairie, for the first time in many years, is covered. The damage it the present time cannot be cli mated, but it will reach many thousand dollars. The quick change in the weather from a drizzling rain to a blinding snowstorm had effected the progress of Ute work of sav ing considerable property that could other wise have been saved. A carload of cattle owned by FYazier Thomas, ex-treasurer of this county, were got nut of the water to-day at noon after a struggle since daylight this morning. They had been placed in a little field near the Monon station awaiting a car for shipment. Men In boats drove them to a high place, where they could be reached by horsemen, who were successful in forcing them acTOM a swift current. Much property is still dangerously situated and its safety depends on a fall in the rivr. ROADS WASHED OUT; ALL BRIDGES SHAKY Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., Jan. 22.-White river and all the streams in the county are on a rampage. The loss to property owners has not been great so far, but will be unless the river falls at once. The part of the city next to the river is under water nnd several families have had to move out. Communica tion with several parts of the county Is cut off on account of back water across the roads. At one plaee south of here there was a culvert with four Iron tiles under It. each tile being four feet in diameter and six feet long and weighing 2.000 pounds. The tile ran under the road to carry off ajiy back water and was held in place by concrete. The ice jammed against this yesterday and carried the entire structure away. Tho Indianapolis.

The remains are on their way to Quebec, so the report say, by dog train, which is exiM cted to reach Chateau bay some time In March. NKW YORK, Jan. 22. Mr. Hubbard, wh.. was assistant editor of Outing, was sent out by that magazine to explore the interior of Labrador. In his party were Dillon Wal lace, a New York lawyer, and two V'ree Indians.

A ree ward of $1.000 has been offered for the ar ' rest of the murderer. Several clews are believed to have been discovered by the authorities, but the onsj direct evidence so far found are a few hairs torn from the mustache of tbe maA who committed the crime. The hairs are those of a white man. Miss Schäfer made a desperate struggle with her assailant, but finally was overpowered, dragged sixty feet and cruelly beaten to death, RECEIVED WARNING LETTER. It is believed here tht the mur derer is the writer of uo anonymous letters received by the young woman sev eral months ago warning her to leave her rooming place and containing threat!. The fact that the letters wre received by her was not known until late to-night, and it was at once decided to run down the writer. The letters havo not been found, having evidently been destroyed, but the people to whom they were shown at the time havo given their testimony. At the time thev anonymous communications were received' Miss Schafer was rooming at the boms of Dr. P. D. Nicholson, at 1707 South O street. The letters were written in a cieAr hand, on good paper, with ink, and were of only a few words, Ther simply tated that she should move and more at once. Why the writer did not state. Th threats were very mild, and said that some harm might befall her. The first letter wai received several months ago; Mrs. Nicholson does sot re member the exact date. The second one came a week later. Miss Schafer st the time took Dr. Nicholson and his wife into her confidence. They did not advise her, but a few days later she moved to the home of Mrs. A. V. Smith, at 188 M street. No other letters were received. She moved there to be with Miss Ixve, a friend, and another teacher. When Mlaa L ive went to her home In Seymour a week ago Misi Schäfer made tha remark that she dreaded to walk back and forth between her room ing place and boarding house. The facts of the letters are in the hands of the presi dent, S. B. I .owe. and a Louisville detect ive employed by the School Board. Mayor Smith and Deputy Prosecutor E. B. Ste phen, two of the most active men In the investigation, are familiar with the letters. No clew as to the writer has been found. Dr. and Mrs. Nicholson have been in structed to give out nothing. TALKED WITH A STRANGER. Justice of the Peace Fltchr. who con ducted a court of Inquiry to-day. has evidence that Miss Schafer was Seen talking with a mn in the Bedford postofflce Monds .V morning. An intimate friend of the dead woman says ho was an utter stranger. It is believed that the man can be conne ?. 1 with the murder. "If a man is arrested, if only on suspicion snd two people know it. he will bo lynched," was the statement made to me to-night by Deputy Prosecutor E. B. Stephenson." If any arrest is made It will be secretly and the man will be spirited away. The community was In an uproar until 8 o'clock to-night, but on the assurance that there were no clews quieted down. To-morrow in addi tion to running down the letters clew every questionable character in Bedford will be brought either before the coroner, mayor or justice and mails to state his whereabouts the night of the murder. A list of the city's "bad men" Is being prepared to-night by Chief of Police Russell.
