Sptclal Dispatch to the Daily Ea;K
Ji:tmoke, Ivan., Nov. 9. Sam purple,
who murdered his v.-ife and two children
at his home nine miles east of this place
last Friday morning, .ind whom it would
he cross flatter to call a brute, suffered
the penalty of his crime this morning at
the hands of au outraged community. Af
ter committing the deed he came to town
and gave himself up to the sheriff. On be
ing asked the cause of the crime lie assum
ed the insanity dodge, but did it in so
bungling manner as to deceive no one. His
act is attributed to Jus natural depravity,
carefully cultivated by a series of drunken
debauches and the habitual use of rum.
He was not drualr, however,
at the time he committed the deed. His
cringing plea for protection before any
threats were made against him showed that
he understood the nature of his offense and
realized the probable consequence. It is
said that a party was organized to lynch
him Friday night, but delayed until after
the funeral of his victims, which took
place on Sunday. Saturday night with a
view of securing his prisoner, Mr. Gilhncr,
the sheriff, sent him some miles west on
Buckner creek, under a strong guard, but
it was found they were being tracked so
they returned and lodged their prisoner in
jail, arriving here at about 8 o'clock last
night. During all the early part of the
night everything was quiet as usual.
At midnight a company of horsemen
dashed into the jail yard square fiom the
south The sheriff stepped into the front
room of the jail, which is used as guard
quarters, and with revolvers drawn ordered
the men to disperse, instantly parties from
the noi th, east and west closed in on him
and crowded after him into the guard room.
All the movements of the assailants were
made in regular military style, some of
them held the horses, others formed a
guard around the jail, others took posses
sion of the jail, and the whole towu was
guarded with squads of armed men, part
of them masked. The quards were over
powered and the keys forcibly taken from
the sheriff, and the prisoner was taken from
the jail with a rope around his neck, and
the baud moved oil in an exceedingly short
time and the town was quiet again. Pur
ple was taken to the home he had desecra
ted and was hanged in front of his own
house. The inquest on his remains will be
held today.
The Anarchists.
Chicago, Nov. 9. Upon being1 shown
the New York dispatch relative to Hie case
of the Chicago anarchists being taken up
the suprcmecourt of the United State.:,
their counsel, Captain Black, laughed and
said: "I am getting all my information
about the anarchists from the newspapers.
This is the first I have heard of the
defense fund association and I don't know
3fr. Uryniau or 3Ir. Whitney. If the
cae U taken to the United States supreme
eouit, it will be oaths ground that the
l ight of free speech has been assaulted.
The bill of exceptions and the record of
the court in the anarchist cases ha-.ing
been compared and nothing now stsnds
before the ca-es to go to the supreme
coint, but the signature of Judge Gary.
Suites Attorney Grinnel says he believes
the anarchist lawyers to be delaying the
mutter for porposes known to themselves.

lNDiAX.rous, Ind.,Nov.9. The Dem

members of their party are not defrauded
of their rights. The committee also passed

DESTITUTE IXDIAXS.
The secretary of the interior, having re
ceived a telegram from Gen. Howard say
ing that two hundred Paulpuli Indians,
located on the reservation in Northwestern
Arizona, are in a destitute condition in a
barren country and must be fed or starve,
has requested that the military authorities
issue a two-third rations per day to those
Indians to the extent of $5,000,the whole ot
the appropriation made by congress for
their support, and in any event that thatsum
proves insufficient to subsist them through
winter months, or until they are able to
provide for themselves, the interior depart
ment be advised of the fact before the
$5,000 is exhausted, when further provis
ions will, if nccesary, be made for then
subsistence. The government ration for
an Indian is three pounds of beef gross and
half a pound of Hour.
HAY UE HADE SO.
Dr. Geo. Neasey, the botanist of the
agricultural department, who has recently
spent several weeks in the "arid region,"
in his report to the commissioner of agri
culture, expresses the belief that a large
portion of the area so designated may be
made vastly more productive by the culti
vation of a prolific species of grass and
forage plants than the gramma and buffalo
rrasses, upon which cattle now subsist.
It is, however, he says, a matter to be de
tei mined by experiment and to this end he
recommends the utilzation of the Ft. Wal
lace, New 3Iexic-o, reservation as an ex
periment. '
Watterson n Morrison.
New Yokk, Nov. 9. Henry "Watterson
arrived in New York from Havre on the
French steamer La Bourgogne, last Sun
day night. Yesterday he went to the ho
tel Bartholdi. Itegarding the defeat of
Morrison he did not consider that it was to
be laid to the tariff question, and he be
lieved there had been dis-affection among
the Democrats in Morrison's district, due
solely to disapDointment with Uie results of
the Democratic administration, and that
the dis-affection, he admitted, wa3 not by
any means confined to Morrison's district.
The Democrats generally, he thought, felt
that they had lost their baggage on the
field. The narrow escape of Carlisle from
defeat, Watterson said, was merely au ac
cident. This experience would teach the
necessity of a careful and systematic can
vass even in the districts deemed safe. The
defeat of Hird in tnc Toledo district,
Watterson attributed solely to the personal
opposition to Hard, because of his practical
non-resident iu the district which he sought
to represent. Cleveland's nomination,
Watterson said, looks now as altogether
probable. The Democrats, ho is inclined
to think, will rise above the spoils idea,
deicand a a-iil" revision, re-elect Cleveland,
do away with the nonsense of the civil ser
vice reform and accomplish their main aim,

Of Great Significance.
New Yop.k, No 9. The Mail and Ex
press says: The recent transfer of a valu
able water front on Staten Island to a west
ern railroad as a point for transfer, i3 dis
cussed by commercial men as a move of
great significance. The property acquired
is the "itec plots, .covering a quarter of a
mile of water front jastbelow Yaudeibilt
landing, and also thirty acres of land in the
interior. The purchases were made by E.
D. Council, a prominent real es
tate agent of this city, from
various local parties, in the interest it is
said, of the duhes of Devonshire and Buc
achice. Thc-c gentlemen are large owners
of slock iu the Anchor line of steamers
and own neany all of the barrew in Fur
ucss the point In Scotland to which ship
ments are to be ma.le. The newly ac
quired water front is large enough to
admit of extra docks and piers that will
accommodate the largest ocean steamers
alioat. The scheme is a big one and if
successful, will establish a direct connec
tion between the great northwest and Scot
land, thus avoiding the expense of rehaud-
ling the freights and the heavy lilerage at'
this port. The oiu thing needful to per
fect the project is tiie completion of the
bridge across the Arthur Kill.

of The great .to"rm extending from Decem
ber 8 to 17, during which will occur some
of the most destructive winter storms of
recent yc..-irs. These storms will be much
of the same nature as the great blizzard of
last January. Heavy snow and hign v. inds
will prevail, impede railway travel,
and he advises the railways to prepare for
bloekadcs that will occur" in the western
states about December 5, and reaching the
eastern states about December 9. There
will be energetic electrical disturbances that
will affect telegraph aud telephone lines,
lie suggests "that many lives and much
property can be saved from loss by making
preparations for the severe weather pre

THE ADAMS EXPRESS ROBBERY.
An Indictment Pound Against I). S.
Potheriughain, the Messenger.
St, Locis, Mo., Xov. 9: When circuit
court convened this morning the habeas
corpus case against D. S. Fotheriugliam,
the Adams express messenger, who was
robbed in his car two weeks ago of 100,
000, was called. Fotheriugliam claimed
iu his petition, which was presented to tlie
court yesterday, that hcwas unlawfully
and against his will deprived of his liberty
by force by the Adams Express company
and their agents.
The writ was issued returnable this
morning. "When the case was called,
Manager Damsel, of the Express Co. and
his attorney McDonald and Detective Pin
kcrton were on hand but Fothcringham
was not to be seen. McDonald who is
also assistant circuit attorney, stated that
Fotheriugliam had been by mistake taken
to the four courts instead of to the circuit
court room and asked for time to
rectify the mistake and produce him
in court. The court then continued
the cae until 2 this afternoon.
The alleged mistake which necessitated
Folhcringhain's absence from the court is
believed to have been a piece of sharp
practise by the assistant circuit attorney,
the Adams Express Co's. attorney, by
which the messenger was spirited away to
give the company time to secure a bench
warrant for the latter's arrest so that he
might be jailed before he secured his lib
erty on a wnt of habeas corpus.
About 10 o'clock this morning, one of
Pinkcrton's detectives placed Fotheriug
liam in a carriage at the Southern hotel and
told him that he was about to be taken to
the circuit court, where his habeas corpus
case was to be tried. The detective was
evidently under instructions to cousume as
much time as possible in conveying the
messenger thither for the coachman drove
his horses at a walk over a round about
route, consuming about three-quarters of an
hour in so doing. At least enough
time to enable the bench warrant to be se
cured for Fotheringham's arrest. When
the carriage arrived at circuit court, Deputy
Sheriff Hart served the warraut, and the
prisoner was taken to the four courts where
he was locked up. A shoit time after
wards the grand jury who had been inves
tigating the robbery, renirncd an indict
meut against him, charging him v.ithgraud
iareeny, and with rushing stolen proper!'.
Two other indictments were returned.
One against Jim Cummings and the other
against IMchard Hoc, concerning the iden
tity of whom nothing is as et known.
Fothcringham was seen at the jail by a
reporter who stoutly asserted that lie was
iunoccnt of robbing and knew no more
about it than he had given out in his vari
ous statements to newspaper men and detective-:
That he had been shamefully
treated all along, and vas now about to bv
nialiciovislv prosecuted.
Sr. Louis, Mo., Xov. 9. -The Globe
Democrat this morning prints a letter dated
St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 31at, signed by Jim
Cummings, which pui ports to give a full
history of the robbery of the Adams' ex
press car on the San Francisco ioa.l on the
night of October 25th, wheh between $80,
000 and $100,000 in currency was taken.
The letter w.ts received bv the editor of
Globe-Democrat la-.t Tuesday. It enclosed
two express money envelopes from one
of which $30,000 had leea abstracted and
from the other 12,000, also a memoran
dum of the cashier of the Continental
bank, notifying the American National
bank of Kansas City that $20,000 was en
closed. The envelopes and memorandum
have lieen fully identilied as thoe taken in
the robbery.
The writer of the letter gives, as his reas
on for writing it, that he wants to clear
Fotheriugham, the express messenger, from
busuicion that now attaches to him.
The letter gives full details of the rob
ber", aud asserts that Fotheriugham was
taken completely by surprise and had no
participation in U except as an unwilling
victim." The writer UlU of a previous at
tempt to rob the car at CuVa Junction, in
which tlie details of the manner in which he
aud accomplice secured the letter-heads
cards, etc., ami secured the signatures ot
cxnress officials to enable them to forge
the order permitting the robber to ride in
the car with the messenger.
The letter stated that the robbsrs had a
boat, which, together with a camping out
fit of two gun.":md a box of provisions
they had secreted near the bridge at St.
Charles. 3Io. : also a package containing a
revolver, which had been left at the check
stand at the uniou depot in this city on the
daj- of the robbery.

stated on good authority, that the grand
jury in nission in this citv yes
terday found indictments against Fothcr
ingham, "Jim Cummings" and two others
whose names are not given, for complicity
in the robbery. The detectives think that
tho robbers, when preparing for the affair,
took into consideration the extraordinary
pressure which would be brought to bear
on the express messenger, and laid plans
accordingly. That the guns, boat and
provisions were left where found before the
rohheiyJhere is no doubt, for people resid
ing in the vicinity remember having seen a
mysterious stranger in the locality andihe
gnuBTycrcpurchasetl Tiear St. Charles sev
eral days before the robbery. The package
at the depot check stand was also left there
on tlie date claimed in the letter tlie day of
the robbery, but detectives claim that the
letter was neither written on the day
claimed nor was it written in St. Joseph,
however, they say the letter gives them
some very strong clews, and that the whole
truth regarding the affair will soon lc
known. "

Kansas have manifold reasons for acknow
ledging tlie goodness anil mercy of God.
The growth of the state during the past
year has been unexampled in the history of
American commonwealdis. and pestilence
has not invaded our borders. Fair har
vests have been gathered; our industries
have multiplied and prospered, peace and
good onler have gone hand in hand with
sobriaty aud obedience to law.
Therefore, I. John A. lartin, governor
of Kansas, do hereby designate Thursday,
November 25. as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer, und do recommend
that the" people of the .tate
forego their accustomed employments on
that day and assembling in their usual
places of worship aud render thauhs to thu
Divine lluler for the blessing ho has vouch
safed.
I do further suggest and recommund that
those who have been blessed with abund
ance should, while giviug thanks for the
bounties they enjoy, remember with gen
crous hearts'aud bountiful hands, those who
are needy or sulTcring.
In testimony whcieof 1 have caused the
greatc seal of the state to be hereto atlixed.
