I was chasing down a citation and got this article as a reward. We always hear this story (it apparently became popular after Catton quoted in in a book I don't have) but this is closer to its original source.
I can't find the original article from the Washington Post because my computer is slower than snot today. But the original article probably ran about January 1894.
Indiana (Penn.) Democrat, July 12, 1894, p. 1
ETA: There are other articles that ran earlier with the same story, but this July article is the only one that provides a very helpful context.
