Confessed to Murdering His Daugh
ter Six Years Ago.
Indianapolis, Nov. 24 Clement
Grousinger, an old resident of Cass
county, died on Sunday morning. Six
years pgo Grousinger startled his
neighbors by telling them that his
daughter, a girl aged twenty, had com
mitted suicide. Her body was found
under circumstances that appeared to
confirm the statement and it was ac
cepted as the truth. On his death bed
Grousinger confessed that he and the
daughter had been criminally intimate,
and that he Kinea ner m oraer to avoiu
exposure. He sneaked behind her;
s throwing a halter strap around her

The Accidental Upsetting of a Ker
osene Lamp Causes a Loss of
$100,000 and Loss of Life.
New York, Nov. 23 The acciden
tal upsetting of a kerosene lamp in the
rooms of Otto Mattobeek, on the third
floor of a live story tenement, 404 East
fc'lth street, early this morning, was a
signal for an agonizing scene of terror
and death. The house and one ad
joining were tilled with Bohemian
cigar makers employed in neighboring
cigar factories. One hundred and fifty
people slept soundly when the cry of
lire was raised. The flames commu
nicated to llooro above through con
venient air shafts and a scene of wild
confusion and panic ensued. The
frightened tenants took to the lire es
capes with all haste. They were given
shelter by neighbors while the fire
men were fighting the flames. Tbn
was not an easy task as the upper sto
ries and roof were ablaze and flames
had spread to No. 406. Reinforce
men's were summoned and the Bre
was quickly subdued. About $100,
000 damage was done to the building
and the property of the tenants there
had some narrow escapes, aud two
women with their children were re
ported to have been slightly burned,
but the firemen were not prepared to
find a whole family smothered to death
in the rear room on the. top floor of
No, 404, They came upon Mary C.
Ealka, a widow, 40 years old, and her
children, Mary, aged 7, and Annie,
aged 6 years, lying dead. It was three
hours after the outbreak when this
discovery was made. A second and
closer search was made, but no other
bodies had been discovered up to 8
o'clock this morning.
A report spread early among the
homeless tenants that the house had
been deliberately set lire by one of
their number. Henry Kohul, a Bohe
mian eigur maker was poiuted out as
the guilty one. He, had disappeared
and did not. show up until this morn
ing, when he was arrested, by that time
the police had collected evidence
enough to make the charge of arson
and minder against him. The excite
ment of the Bohemians had become
furious and threats of lynching made.
Kohul is insured for $000, whib his
furniture in scarcely worth $73. The
charge is that he set lire to the house
to get this money.
Confesses to the Killing of Col
Watson R. SmltVi.
Omaha, Ned , Nov. 23. Consider
able sensation has been created here
by the publication that John Pierson,
penitentiary convict, had confessed he
was the man who killed Col. Watson
It. Smith, Nov. 5th, 1881. in the U. S.
court-house. Smith was clerk of the
U. S. court and was found shot through
the head, lying at his office door. Pier
son says in his first confession, that be
killed him for $300 paid him by Jack
Nugent, a variety theatre man, who
was acting saloon-keeper, who had a
grudge against Smith on ac
count of his efforts to have
the high license law enforced.
Now in the second confession, Pierson
denies he did the killing, but says
George Grooms, now dead, did it.
Nugent fays he can show by his route
book he had been and was absent from
Omaha for sometime before and after
the murder, and was several hundred
miles away on the day the murder
was committed. Pierson's confessions
were investigated by the recent United
States grand jury and no indictment
found. The matter will come up for
investigation again when the grand
jury is called in December.
Look Out for HlmDescrlptlon of
a Wife Murderer.
Chicago, Nov. 24 The coroner's
inquest on the remains of Mrs. Emma
Smith, who was murdered by her hus
band, Sam Smith, at 310 West Monroe
street Saturday night, was begun
shortly after 10 o'clock to-day at the
county hospital. The jury was im
pannelled and viewed the woman's
remains in the morgue. The police
profess to have no clue, so far, to the
whereabouts of the murderer. They
express confidence that he will be
caught as soon as his description is so
full and complete. It is not known
yet to what depot he went after getting
out of the hack which he hired to
assist him in his flight Saturday night.
The following is a description of the
murderer that is being sent all over
the country by the police department:
"Arrest for murder Samuel Smith,

GOTHAM GOSSIP.
The Excise Law Death of a
Well --Known Abolitionist Mr.
Claflin's Charities Amounted to
$1,000,000, Etc.
New Y'oiik, Nov. 23 The excise
law was pretty sharply enforced yester
day; fifty-six arrests were made lor
infringement jf the law, but knowing
ones got their liquor as usual.
Elizar Wright, a well-known aboli
tionist years ago, died at Medford,
Mass., yesterday, aged bl. He had
been connected with many newspapers
aud was a distinguished author.
In his sermon yesterday, Mr.
Beecher said he had been informed
that Mr. Clatlin's charities amounted
to nearly $1,000,000; the public would
never know where this golden shower
was to fall.
The Sun says: "The sub-committee
of the baseball arbitration committee,
which was appointed to draft a new
agreement which would give miner
baseball associations protection under
the national agreement, have finished
their work, and a set of rules have
been submitted to the league, which
will be satisfactory to all concerned.
The agreement sets forth that no
player under contract with one associ
ation can engage to play with another,
and that the secretary of each associa
tion will not send to secretaries of
other associations from time to time a
list of players that have been black
listed, suspended or expelled. Dis
putes between associations will be
decided by the arbitration committee."
None of the billiard players have
yet accepted Maurice Daly's challenge
to play cushion caroms against any
body in the world, but Wm. Sexton is
anxious to p'ay that kind of game, and
if he can't get Vignaux, orSiosson, or
Sehafer to play, he says he Will tackle
Daly in December.
The Sun special from Boston gives a
detail of the prizs light there yester
day between James Driscall and Henry
Kourke, in which the former won in
thirteen rounds, after a desperate con
test. Both men were terribly punish
ed. About $1,500 changed hands on
the result. The match was for $250.
Commission of Internal Revenue
Upon Reimportation of Spirits.
Washington, Nov. 23 Commis
sioner of internal revenue in his report
upon reimportation of spirits says:
"In light past experience, it was
deemed safe to predict the bulk of
Bourbon whisky and rye whisky
shipped to Bermuda, Bremen and
Hamburg will eventually be returned
to the United States, but it will not be
returned by the parties who gave
transportation bond upon which spirits
are withdrawn from the distillery ware
house, even if It were so returned by
them it is difficult to say such was the
the intention when they gave notice
and bond. No doubt the exporters
would be glad to find a market for
their products abroad, and so be re
lieved of the expense of the return
voyage. Under these circumstances,
and in view of the fact the law accords
the privilege of exportation free of
tax, to holders of all kinds of spirits
in distillery ware-houses alike, he has
not felt warranted in interfering with
exhortations to ports named nor dis
criminate against these kinds of spirits
and in favor of alcoholic rum or other
kinds of spirits, which, when once
shipped abroad, are not often returned.
It is hardly to be supposed that the
distiller would produce spirits if
he knew the spirits would not
be purchased untli it had
lain in bonded ware-houses
in Bremen one or more years. It is
evident the distillers are unable to de
termine before hand the quantity of
spirits they will be able to dispose of
within three years. Under this view
"it would be better for the distiller if
there is to be any limitation of the
bonded period to restore time given in
warehousing bond from three years to
one vear as provided in the act of July
20, 1868. He is of the opinion a better
plan would be to allow the spirits to
remain in distillery ware-houses an
indefatigable time, subject to pre-
emptory withdrawals in case of exces
sive losses, provided the United States
is reimbursed for additional expense
incident to such storage. Any law
therefore which fixes date of payment
of tax before the actual demand for
consumption is a disturbing element
in the business of the producer more
or less severe as the business of the
distiller varies, more or less from the
artificial standard set up by the law.
Confessed to the Murder of a Con
ductor. Philadelphia, Nov. 23 A well
dressed young, man, under the influence
of liquor, entered a station-house here
to-day and said he had committed a
murder in Chicago; later on he repeat
ed his story. He said that while in
Chicago two years ago ho became
involved in a quarrel with a man
named Edward Davis, who was em
ployed as a conductor on one of the
railway lines of that city, and that he
shot and killed him. He succeeded in
making his escape and came east, but
his conscience has troubled him so
much that he concluded to surrender
himself. The authorities have tele
graphed to Chicago to ascertain if such
a person is needed there. He gives the
name of John Jones. -

Steamer Aground In Fr nt of the
Jetties.
FoutEads.Nov. 21 Tfe tearahips
Cormona is still aground on the mud
lump three-quarters of a mile in fftnt
of the jetty channel. Capt. Frances,
president of the bar pilot's association,
says the presence of this mud lump
was well known. It has existed ever
since the jetties were constructed. He
further says that in coming down
aouth pass, between the jetties, a vessel
cannot go to sea through the
channel without making a turn to
the eastward of two to three
points of the compass, until the east
wing dam is abeam of the vessel: then
the helm is put hard astarboard, in
order to clear what is called the middle
lump, upon which the Carmona
grounded. Vessels drawing but
twenty feet are safe in going through
the west channel, but those of greater
draft must take the east channel.
Capt. Frances does not consider the
condition of the Carmona in any way
dangerous. He says a change of wind
to the southeast will cause a little
swell. The ship will probably then
loosen and go through the lump.
A Sensational Story Which Led to
the Arrest of a Murderer.
Chattanooga; Nov. 24 Pat Mc
Guire, who was arrested Friday for the
murder of Michael -Kane at Logans
port, Ind., August 3d last, was brought
here to-day to remain in jail until a
requisition can be procured for him.
The discovery was a remarkable sequel
to a supposed sensational drowning
case, and was due to the over zeal of
his brother to protect McGuire. On
November 10th his brother, M. A.
McGuire, a wholesale merchant of
Cincinnati, while duck hunting in
Tennessee, was reported to have been
drowned. The fact was published and
reached the eyes of an Indiana detect
ive, who was on the lookout for Pat
McGuire, and who surmised that he
must be hidden near the scene of the
accident.

yesterday to collect some money due
him. When he was found there was
not a cent in his pockets, and it is
supected that he was murdered, robbed
and placed on the railroad track. The
coroner is now holding an inquest.
A NATIONAL LOSS.
SUDDEN DEATH OF VICE-PRESIDENT
HENDRICKS.
The Distinguished Statesman Died
at His House In Indianapolis of
Paralyses of the BrainA Nation
Paying Tribute to His Memory.
Indianapolis, Nov. 25 Hon. T. A.
Hendricks.vice-president of the United
States, died very suddenly at his resi
dence in this city at 4:45 o'clock this
evening, under circumstances that were
particularly distressing to his family
and friends, insomuch as they had not
anticipated a fatal termination of his
brief illness, and nobody was with him
when the end came. He returned
from Chicago last Saturday, and since
then bad been complaining somewhat
of pain in his head and breast,
but nothing serious was thought
of it. Last night he and Mrs. Hen
dricks attended a reception given at
the residence of Hon. John J. Cooper
treasurer of State. Returning home
in their carriage about midnight Mr.
Hendricks had taken off the heavy
clothing which he usually wore and
put on a dress suit cf lighter material,
and before he got home he complained
of chilliness and a certain degree of
exhaustion, but attributed it to
malarial influences. He Bat by the
(ire for an hour or more before retir
ing, but declined to send for a
physician, although urged to do so. He
slept restlessly until about 8 o'clock
this morning, when he arose, dressed
himself und ate quite a hearty breakfast
saying that be felt much better and
intended to attend to considerable
delayed business during the day He
and Mrs. Hendricks walked out for
nearly half an hour, and be had
apparently regained his physical vigor
and cheerfuluess. An hour later,
however, he began to be troubled with
pains in the region of his stomach, and
Mrs. Hendricks sent for the family phy
sician, Dr. W. C. Thompson, a lifelong
and confidential friend of the vice
president. As the pains in the
stomach continued to increase, he was
given an emetic and afterwards an
injection, which gave him great relief.
He arose from his bed in which he had
lain only a fen minutes, and read the
morning papers, talking cheerfully
with his wifeand an old house servant.
Just before noon he had a relapse,
however, and the physician was again
summoned and administered the usual
remedies, besides bleeding the patient
and Mr. Hendricks again expresed
himself being greatly relieved. He
remained ia his room all the afternoon;
occasionally rising from his bed. to
which he was compelled to return by
the recurrence of the abdominal pains.
To all callers who come, and they were
numerous, he sent word that he was
indisposed but would be glad to see
them to-morrow. About 4:30 o clock
Mrs. HeDdricks, who bad been at his
bed-side all day, went down into the
parlor to see a caller who bad come
to consult . with her regard
ing the affairs of a reformatory
institution in which she was
one of the managers, and she remained
with him about twenty minutes. Tom,
a colored servant, and Henry Morgan,
Mr. Hendricks' nephew and page in
Washington, remained with him. The
servant went out and Mr. Morgan
stayed.- Mr. Hendricks tossed uneasily
in his bed and complained of great
pain, but suddenly it seemed to cease,
and he said to his neohew "I am free
at last, send for Eliza," meaning his
wife, and these were his last words,
for the young man, not realizing the
urgency of the message, did not deliver
it at once. Just before 5 o'clock
Mrs. Hendricks came Into the room
and found that her husband was dead.
The end of a long and eventful life
had come peacefully and quietly. He
lay in the bed ontsid" of the covering,
only partially disrobed, with his eyes
half closed as if he were in a quiet
sleep. On his face there were no traces
of pain or suffering, but a pallor had
come over it, that indicated only too
plainly that he had passed away. It
needed no close examination to tell that
be was dead, and Mrs. Hendricks
screamed and ran down stairs. A
servant was dispatched to the resi
dence of Dr. Thompson, adjoining, and
he came immediately, but by the time
he reached the beside, the limbs of
the distinguished dead man were
becoming cold and rigid, and to Mrs.
Hendricks' pathetic appeal, "Oh !
Doctor, can't you do something?" he
was obliged to answer. "It is too
late."
Mrs. Hendricks became almost dis
tracted with grief, and it was an hour
or more before she became
sufficiently composed to give any
information about her husband's lust
moments. The family servants, two
of whom had (lived with them for
years, ran about the house crying and
moaning and there was the utmost
confusion for a time.
When the news was bulletined down
town it was generally discredited, and
in a very few minut?s a hundred or
more of Mr. Hcndilck's close political
and personal friends had hurried to the
house. Very soon a great crowd
collected around the entrance on the
street, and it was found necessary to
refuse admission to any and all
comers except the immediate relatives.
Mr. Hendricks died in his private
chamber, a large, comfortable room, in
which he did the roost of his work.
Near his bedside was a case contain
ing legal, political works, and on his
desk were his papers, memoranda and
a large number of letters, which had
ben allowed to accumulate without
answering in the last two or three
days. His dressing gown and slippers
were at his bedside and near by was a
small stand, on which were various
medicines and a goblet of water.
Portraits, landscapes and bric-a-brac
adorned the walls of the room and
were in striking contrast with the sad
scene within, Dr. Thompson says that,
in his opinion, Mr. Hendricks died of
paralysis of the brain, and there will
probably be a post mortem examina
tion to establish' what the disease was.

A Suit Which Agitates Members of
the Catholic Church.
Detroit, Mich., Nov. 25 A case
that agitates Catholic church circles
has beeu commenced in the Wayne
circuit court, capias having been
issued. The charge Is libel and
damages claimed at flO.000. Joseph
PrzyhylouRki Is the plaintiff and
Martin Kopydlouskl the defendant.
; Both are trustees of Stalberg
church, of which i ather Valesenski is
priest. Sometime ago the defendant
