HOUND OVEIt FOR TRIAL. Wilbur S. Sherwell for the of Mn. Ilnlley nt Kr'nnnville.

Srclal to th Indianapolis Journal. EVANSVILLE, Nov. S. Sherwell, the Evansville policeman arrested two weeks ago at the instance of the coroner on a charge of having murdered Mrs. Georgia Railey and Miss Lena Renner, was held to the grand jury to-day after a preliminary trial that lasted nearly all day.

The presiding Judge was Justice Poole and the hearing was In the Circuit Court room, into which several hundred curious persons crowded. Large numbers of others wre unable to gain admittance but hung about the court building throughout the trial. The prisoner was represented by Funkhouser brothers, who surrendered the cast a few days ago, after Sherwell's relatives In Ohio had failed to raise an agreed sum of money. The elder member of the firm stated to the court that the action of the relatives was the result of misleading telegrams that had been sent to them by unknown parties and that the firm had decided as a matter of Justice to come to the rescue of the prisoner, who was without legal representation, but they were to receive no reward in return. Nothing particularly new was brought out in the trial beyond what was adduced at the coroner's inquest over the body of the murdered women.

A large number of witnesses were heard and the whole story of Sherwell's conduct on th nwht of the murders was reviewed. After the State had introduced eleven witnesses the prosecution rested. The defense stated that it had no evidence to offer and had no statement to make. The court then bound the prisoner over to the Circuit Court, without bail, and he was taken back to jail. During the entire proceedings Sherwell maintained his usual calm and unconcern and was regarded as the coolest person in the courtroom.

The result of the preliminary hearing has strengthened the general belief that Sherwell is a guilty man. GOOD FLM) OX HAND. Purdue Athletic Association Balances Aci'ountt-Tfam Cnptalnclra. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE.

Chicken at AVlnchester Demolishes Bar Furniture nnd Stock.

The Journal's Winchester correspondent sends the following: "Carrie Nation is not the only one; there are others. Winchester has developed a feathered saloon smasher. At Henry Har-man's saloon the other night someone came In with a chicken, laid It down to get a 'night-cap and went off. forgetting the chicken. Although a crowd was present, the chicken took no notice of it and sneaked off Into a corner.

The saloon was closed and the bird was not noticed. The chicken thought of Carrie Nation and got in its fowl play. It hopped upon the counter and caught a glimpse of Itself in the large mirror and then the fun began. The chicken cried 'No and started in to whip itself, with a result that was anything but beneficial to the fine glassware and twttles of hot stuff. By the time the chicken had the one in the glass whipped the saloon was ruined.

The chicken did Its work. It it now up to Carrie to go it one better." new financial officer. II. 11. AVoods Elected Treasurer of the Knlsht(oun Home.

Carroll began a publication on purpose to own Artemus Ward, and therefore was unconsciously the pseudo showman's butt. Browne began to lecture with a panorama, the hcture a farce, the panorama nothing, but he was preceded everywhere by a laugh, as the Jews were preceded by the pillar of tire. He went to London and wrote for Punch, and lectured in the hall of Albert Smith. Hollow with consumption, he laughed death silly, and in his dying moment gravely bequeathed money and properties, of which he was guiltless, to various EntUishmen who came to find him with crepe on their hats, and raised the last laugh which shook the British world, like Excelsior's going up with a private echo: Anil from the sky serene and fair A laugh fell like a falling star Ward! ha! ha!"

A BIG rVTIIOX DIES. Faded A way Slowly nnd Ills Owner Mourns for II im. New Orleans Times-Democrat. One of Mme. Taula's immense pythons Is dead.

He was boarding at an animal hotel down in Chartres street, he and the rest of the noted snake charmer's strange collection of pets. In the party are pythons, boa constrictors, alligators, and a little baby crocodile fresh from the river Nile. Mme. Paula Is well known In New Orleans. She was seen here last season at the Grand Opera House, and more recently at West End.

Her animals love her and she loves her animals, and she is deeply distressed over the death of her big snake, which was a particularly fine specimen. He was about ten feet in length, and although fearful to look, upon, was as gentle as a canary bird. The big fellow had been sick for a long time. Now and then he Etemed to have chills and would refuse his food. He had first-class apartments at Bartell's establishment.

He was provided with a good bed of fresh, clean straw, and was offered nothing to eat except that which is regarded by snakes as delicacies. His mistress would come to see him and talk soothingly to him and pet and caress him in the hope that he would grow better. But day by day the glaze in his eye grew more pronounced and his form wasted away. When the python was well he was good-natured, sometimes affectionate, and really companionable to those whom he knew. But when he became sick he curled himself up in a eeries of rings, and his gloom frightened his host.

It is not known what his ailment was. There was no one available who knew anything of the ills of and bo nothing could be done but to make him comfortable and trust to nature. Perhaps it was a mere longing for the Jungle and his heart was sick of captivity. At any rate he was never vicious, but jdned and pined until one morning he was, found cuddled up. dead.

Mme. Paula's alligators are domiciled in a large box. into which is fitted a tank. Of course they must have water, and this water must be renewed every morning and every night. The animals will hiss and snort at "the approach of a stranger, but aro perfectly docile when Mme.

Paula is near. The moment she enters the room they become silent and wiggle to the end of the box, where they can look through a wire-covered opening. The pythons and boa constrictors travel In largo wicker baskets. They are cold creatures, all of them, and great precaution is necessary to prevent them from freezing. They are wrapped in great, thick cloths.

Then they are placed In the bottom of the baskets, and when the weather is cold large bottles of hot water are placed on top of them. It does not seem possible that any living thing could breathe when subjected to such treatment, but it is in reality a substitute for the tropical climate in which the reptiles are born and live. Then there is the baby crocodile, and a venomous, dangerous little monster he is. Scarcely two feet in length, he has long, ugly teeth, which he is ever ready to sink into one's hands. His home is a little wooden box.
