16. Benton: county was rocked to-day as it was never rocked before. At an early hour it was whispered at Oxford that, Jacob Nelling had made a confession exonerating the boy Ladd from all complicity in the murder of Ada Atkinson, and excitement ran high. About 11 o'clock, Col. DeHart made an address on the streets: of Oxford, stating that this investigation had been entered into to find out the murderer; that they had found him, and he was now in jail.

He then read the following: Jacob M. Selling, being duly sworn, knowledge that I killed Ada Atkinson with my pocket knife, shown to-day in open court in the Benton county court-house. killed her under the following circumstances: Before I started to do it something came over me that enticed me to so. I started from the fence on the east side of the orchard to the house and entered the south door of the house. I went up stairs and found Ada up there and said to her, 1 am going to kill She said not to do she did not want to die that way.

I told her I should do but I do not recollect what she said. -I took hold of her and threw her down on the floor; then cut her thront: then I became frenzied and made other cuts. It seems my mind left me, and 1 did not know what I was doing. I can not explain the raising of her clothes or the rest of the cutting. suppose did it all.

had nO motive that remember for killing her in this manner, and I did not attempt to ravish her and had no desire to do As I left the house, I went to the milk house and washed my hands and knife In basin which I had lying on the end of the milk tank, near the door. I threw the water in the yard and Incely it soaked into the ground, I did not get my clothes bloody, because the blood did fly. It seems to me I had hold of the which was around her neck, and I might have touched it when I out her throat. washing the blood off my hands and the back through the orchard work. I do BOW swear that Innocent of' the murder and that he did not visit me that day, and that previous statements I have made about him are false in every particular, 1 will state that I have not been forced to make this confession, and that I make it voluntarily, without any expectation of Immunity from justice.

J. JACOB NELLING. Scarcely had DeHatt finished reading ere the crowd started for horses and conveyances to Fowler, ten miles away, driving teams, farm wagons, horsemen and long strings of people, all driving like mad for Fowler, where Nelling was confined. It was a lively and exciting race, considering the ten miles of dirt, roads, with mud a foot, deep, in places. It was when the Oxford arrived and were joined by those of Fowler and the surrounding country.

As the people drove along farmers came to the roadside to shout. let up on Nelling when he him;" and scores of kindred expressions betokened the temper and feeling of the populace, It wan 1 o'clock when Welling arrived in the court-room. He was as calm as though on his way to church; there was no tremor or trepidation. He identifled the contession and said it was made by him, and was true. He said the deed was not premeditated nor prompted by any one.

He was unable to state what caused him to commit the deed. was not to ravish ber, and he never tried to do so. He was unable to state why he yesterday sought to place the murder on Ladd: He did not want Ladd convicted, but 16 be had he could have cleared him, but did not know it he would have done so, He thought Ada was combing her hair when he went into the room; had no conversation with bor except I'm going to kill you, to which she said: Jake, please don't 1 don't want to die that way. Then he threw her on the floor, twisted the handkerchief about her neck and cut her throat, standing by her side when he did so. Ada did not struggle much.

He cut her throat after he threw her down. He didn't remove her underwear. Ada did not scream, nor tear his hair or whiskers. The deed was done between 8 and 8 o'clock, and he was in the room twenty minutes. He didn't strike the girl with his fists, and had recollection of cutting her save her throat.

He washed the blood from his hands and unconcernedly returned to work. While detailing the of the murder, Nelling sat composedly in the chair, evincing no more emotion than if narrating the particulars of a hog-killing. At the close of the examination he was committed without bond, an affidavit being Sled charging him with premeditated and malicious murder. Are you guilty or not guilty as asked the Judge. I'm not guilty of the whole charge," was "his answer.

"There was no malice or premeditation in what I did. was not actuated by revenge, for I loved the girl dearly, can not account for the deed. It appeared to me I bad to kill her. Something told me I had it to do." During the examination there wore mutterings in the audience, who rose to their feet. Instantly the Sheriff commanded every one to be seated; but the crowd began to move toward the doors, which, Juckily for Nelling, had been locked after him.

A large number of deputien had been sworn in, and; above the din and clatter, loud- -voiced officer shouted: "Not a man leaves the courtrooms for Are minutes. Judge, Coffroth mounted the table and addressed the swaying, surging crowd, ing that the law be permitted to take its course and the prisoner be given a fair trial. Nelling was safely, juiled, an immense crowd surrounding the building, but no outbreak then occurred. Nelling was eating dinner when summoned to the court, and when he returned to his call, completed his meal. All that was lacking to hang the monster was a bold leader.

Jacob Ladd and Alexander Potts, who were arrested for the same deed, since Nelling's confession have been released. At 10 o'clock to-night, word was received from Fowler that a mob of about 500 men were about the jail very clamorous, and demanding Nelling. They are noisy, but apparently have no recognized lenders. The Sherift has a force inside the building, which is of solid stone and very substantial. Nelling is in a middle coll, and the mob will lave to break a number of locks to get to be quiet did ban with litis apparent better class of citizens, while deeming hanging to be Holling's just deserts, are holding aloof.

THE MOB AT WORK. AT 10:30 TREY GO IN SEARCH OF IRON BAILS WITH WHICH TO BREAK DOWN THE JAIL DOORS. to the Courier-Journal1 FOWLER, Oct. On the train tonight en routo to Fowler, your correspondent met Col. Jack Templeton and asked him if mob was going to hang Nelling.

He replied: "I do not think they will hang him to-night: but they will probably organize to and hang him." Col. Templeton continued and said that the first confession of Nelling, in which he charged. Ladd. with the deed, was part of Detective Harris' scheme to draw Nelling out. On last Friday Templeton and Detentive Harris approached Nelling where he working in the field.

Templeton then, under Harris' Instructions, charged Nelling, with great vehemence, with the murder, shook his fist in Nelling's face and said, "Jake, you killed that girl; you know you did. You are fifty years old and have not much longer to live. Now acknowledge it like man; do your duty." "No, I did not kill her, said Nelling. Col. Templeton replied, you are mistaken." "Yes you did, said Harris, "'and you had an accomplice, for there was a horse standing at the gate; we know of it." From this Nelling was led to believe they suspected Ladd; he therefore accused Ladd as reported yesterday.

Ladd was arrested on Nelling's suggestion only to throw ing off his guard. To-day Ladd was leased. At 9:30 to night the jail bere at Fowler surrounded by 800 excited men howling for Nelling. Carnahan, who is now in Lafayette, has been and is expected here in a short time with the militia. The mob lacks leadership, but Sheriff Scanian, with half a dozen determined.

M. At this hour the drunken mob about the jail appears to be sullenly dispersing. The rumor grows that a more organized mob has drawn off its allies for more effective work. During the exited fighting at the jail door, one man in the mob was pushed from the steps eight feet high receiving serious injuries. This mishap had good effect for time in sobering the crowd.

Since dark a scaffold has been built in the stockyards by the mob, A rope dangles in the moonlight, while guard stands near to protect it from molestation. No access allowed to the jail, but Nelling said to listen the shouts of rage from the mob with his usual stolidity. The Sheriff waits in anxious suspense for the arrival of the militia, while the ominous cracking of stones together in the hands of the angry mob, which sound is peculiar to an Indiana mob, warns him that his anxiety is not without Telegraph wires are over crowded with apecials by representatives of most of the leading newspapers of four States. men have just started down the railroad after iron rails to use for battering rams, with which to attack the jail doors.

Jordan Billy HiT Clara (Special to the WASHINGTON, Oct. Mr. P. Lorillard had a very fine day and quite good atdience at the National Jockey Club Grounds to-day. There were five races, and he only captured four of them, The reason that he did not scoop in the last race was because he did not happen to bave a horse entered.

He won the first three races hands down. Aranza, Loo and Parole were not struck lick, and it is said that Olney, who rode the first two, did not even carry whip. As for that grand old turf hero, Parole, he came in under the wire in gallop, and for the sport of the thing galloped half way round the track again. The famous horse loudly cheered by the crowd, but he did not appear to mind it much, as he is used to applause. There was no enthusiasm, much loss excitement, in the first three races.

IL the horses had been exercising there could not have been Jess interest. The betting was all one way, and the racing entirely one sided. The pooling was $100 to $95 on Aranza, about the same on Leo, and so on Parole. The combination tickets on the above three brought $2 50 for $1. So, you see, every body regarded it as sure thing, and it was.

In the fourth race Mr. Lorillard's Breeze also sold for $125 against feld of ten horses for $100, which showed that be was big favorite. The knowing ones had come to the conclusion that Lorillard was going to win all the races and there was no use trying to stop him. Even the Dwyers did not think Wandering would get there before Breeze, but had their money backed against the bookmakers that he would come in second, though Burch was favorite in the pools, with Breeze out. The short boys were around hoping to win small fortune off a $5 bill by buying a Paris mutual on Weasel and the others, which were selling low down in the pools.

After several attempts the young thoroughbreds got off in a bunch, it being beautiful start. It WAS only five and they soon reached the home stretch, where Breeze was in the lead, closely followed by Wander ing. There was a sharp struggle the last half furlong between the two, but the rider of Breeze struck him two licks only with the whip and landed him under the wire length OF more in advance of Wandering. The mutuals in this race paid $9 20, which, considering the day, was a real bonanza. There was some sport in the hurdle one mile and a quarter, and Buster was a heavy favorite at the usual odds of the day $100 to $25.

Nobody cared to bet against him and he was a "dead sure winner, the gamblers said, and they piled what money they had wOn on Lorillard's big four on Buster. Some thought of Beverwyck, others of Heloise and Red Fox, but only very few of Gath, and yet his name is to be seen in the papers daily. It was a fair start: and a tame race; Gath first and Buster second. The result of the race was anything but satisfactory to the knowing ones. They had won on four races but very little money, only to lose it and heap Ino re on the last race.

About Afteen men out of about 1,500 were winners on the day, These fifteen held fifteen little blue tickets on Gath, which was worth to each of them just $80. 40. There great -interest manifested bere to night in the results of the District of Columbia stake race tomorrow. Eole is the favorite. but Miss Woodford has many friends.

The race will doubtless be witnessed by an immense crowd. It is said to that the President, his Cabinet and all the high officials will lend the great occasion their presence. Mr. Gebhart, the owner of Eole, is expected in the city to-night, and it is rumored that- Mrs. Langtry and her mothes will also be here to witness the race.

Iroquois is reported to be in fine form, and is a favorite. with many. Geo. Kinney was not entered to-night, but the Dwyers refuse to whether he will start to-morrow or not. They feel confident, it is said, that they can win with Miss Woodford.

To put it in the mildest way he drove very clamy, for after Jordan broke at the turn and fell several lengths to the roar Campbell allowed his competitors to come to even terms with him on far side-track, supplemented by letting his horse go to pieces in a tangled break on the stretch and be beaten by Jordan in 2:80.

Hargrove's, No. 946. West Jetferson street, last evening. An inmate of her family, young girl named Maggie Sheridan, bad disappeared, and it thought she had committed: suicide. The motive which induced this action was dis: appointment in love.

The affair is a sad one. Miss Sheridan is remarkably charming and popular young lady, who has been living with Mrs. Hargrove, who is an old friend of her parents. for several months. A beauty, and, in modest way, belle, she has been justly regarded as a universal favorite among her large circle of acquaintances.

She hai many suitors, one in particular being young Main-street merchant, whose name the reporter did not ascertain. He soon became enamored of Miss Sheridan; nor did she long turn a deat ear to his wooing. A short time ago he proposed, and they became engaged. Both were violently in love, and the engagement gave every promise of ripening into a happy marriage. Unfortunately for their dream of happiness, the parents of the young man developed a fiery opposition to the match.

The girl, they admitted, was charming and virtuous, but their son was wealthy, while she was comparatively poor, and this was deemed sufficient for an insuperable barrier to their union. The lovers were made acquainted with this stern determination, the young man forbidden to further visit his affianced, and the engagement peremptorily ordered broken. Her tears and entreaties were of no avail, and his feelings were equally disregarded. Notwithstanding this, the young people were resolved not to be so separated, though, as it bas transpired, the young man did suffer himself to be led by the nose in the affair. His visits were not absolutely discontinued, though made much rarer; but a brisk correspondence was kept up.

This discovered by his parents, who resolved to take decisive step yesterday morning. Their son had just gone to pay his affianced a visit, when they discovered his destination and followed. The two lovers were found together, and a scene was the result. They were peremptorily informed that they must think no more of marrying, and must give each other up at once and forever. The girl wept bitterly and implored her affianced not to desert her, but he was too weak, and at last suffered himself to be carried away.

He bade Miss Sheridan goodbye in spite of her tears and protestations and left her. As soon as he departed the girl broke utterly down and was prostrated for hours. She told Mrs. Hargrove she no longer cared to live, and that she meant to commit suicide. That lady was very much shocked at her ward's declaration, and did every thing in her power to soothe her.

She quieted down at last, and thinking she would be better alone Mrs. Hargrove lett her. About 1 o'clock the girl stole quietly out of the bouse, thickly vailed and without attracting observation. She first went to a drug store where she asked for morphine. As it happened the proprietor was out and the clerk, whose suspicions were aroused, refused to let her have the drug.

She appeared very much disturbed, but went from there to another store where she repeated her request. Here she was equally unsuccessful, as her manner at once betrayed her, and the was forced to go on. Determined not to give up her suicidal intentions, she then went in Eleventh street to Main, and up that to wharf-boat. Crying bitterly, she took off her hat and went to the edge of the boat, when, as she was just about to leap in, she was seized by two laborers, who restrained her. They questioned her to her intentions, but she refused to tell anything about herself further than that she wanted to die.

They finally induced her to return home, and, promising to do this, she left them. They watched her a part of the distance, and then returned to their work. That was the last seen of the girl. Mrs. Hargrove had missed her directly after her departure, and immediately started out to search for her.

'After inquiries she soon ascertained the facts that bave already been learn given, but beyond A this she was unable to anything. COURIER-JOURNAL reporter called on her at a late hour last night, and was told the whole story with the of the young man's name, of which stie persistently declined to give. She stated that she was making every effort to find her unfortunate ward. and had called in the assistance of several friends, but so far without any success. The police had also been notifled and were on the look-out.

She stated, however, that she did not despair, and, though very much alarmed, yet hoped that Miss Sheridan would be found safe and sound. The young lady's brother. bad been telegraphed and bad just arrived. WEDDINGS. Mr.
