Piiiladelahia June 24.—The remains of the late Archbishop Wood will lie in state in the cathedral on Monday afternoon and evening in order to give all who desire an opportunity of viewing the remains. The deceased prelate will be clothed in full canonicals, and the casket will rest on a cata falque at the head of the center aisle. At 9 o’clock on Tuesday morning the serv ices will begin by the rendering of the solemn office for the dead by the clergy and students from the seminary at Overbrook. Casciolini’s mass of requiem will be sung, the music being purely Cregorian. The Archbishop’s will be the forth body interred in the cathedral. The others are Right Rev. M. F. Egan, the first bishop of the diocese; Right Rev. Henry Con well, second bishop, and the Rev. Francis P. O’Neill; former pas tor of St. James’ Churoli, West Philadelphia. The pallium, the insignia of the Arch bishop’s high office, W'ill be buried with the deceased. By special request of the dead pre late himself the funeral services on Tues day will be very lengthy and the prescribed form rigorousiy carried out. This he di rected on Monday when the fatal attack visited him. His will will not be admitted to probate until after the funeral. It is believed that there is little, if any, personal property, the rest being ecclesiastical property, which will •be transferred to his successor as soon as the Appointment is made. BISHOP RaDEMACHER. His Consecration at Nashville—Testimonial from Former Parishioners.

Nashville, Tenn., June 24.—The consecra tion of Rev. Joseph Rademacher, Bishop of Nashville, took place at the cathedral, this morning, in the presence of a vast concourse. The ceremonies lasted from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. Dr. H. Moeller, of Cincinnati, was master or ceremonies, and the following bishops offi ciated: Right Rev. William Henry Elder, of Cincinnati; Right Rev. A. M. Toebbe, of Covington; Right Rev. Richard Gilmour, of Cleveland; Right Rev. Henry Joseph Rich ter, of Grand Rapids; Right Rev. William H. Gross, of Savannah; Right Rev. S. F. Chatard, of Vincennes Archbishop Feehan, of Chi cago, was the consecrator, and Bishop Gross, of Savannah, delivered the consecration ser mon. After the consecration, Bishop Rade raaeher entertained the visiting clergy, sixty in number, at the Delmonico building, oppo site the Cathedral. On this occasion a testi monial was presented to the Bishop, from his former parishioners of Fort Wayne, in the form of a handsome purse of gold eagles. The Trouble with Sailors at Milwaukee. Milwaukee. Wis., June 24.—The assault upon the Cleveland schooner Lucerne, the barge Goshawk, and the Buffalo barge Vought; by aliened Union sailors, on Satur day. was the main topic of conversation in marine circles to-day. No clue to the perpe trators could be got. The police remained on guard on board the vessels, night and day, but no further attempt at intimidation was made. The Lucerne’s crew, who left in a body, did not return, neither did the .two men who left the Vought. Provoked by the premature publication of the fact that the pol ice were in waiting for the unionists, the captain of the several vessels refused to furnish any further information than that the vessels are run under the management of the Cleveland Vessel-owners’ Association,|and the names of the crew could not be learned, The police will be on guard again to-night, and there is a prospect that the guilty parties will be apprehended. Narrow Escape of a Passenger Train. New York, June 24.—A train crowded with passengers left Brighton Beach Hotel, Coney Island, at 6:10 this evening. North of Sheep3head Bay a misplaced switch sent the train upon the west track, on which an empty train was backing. A collision oc curred, and the engine and two cars of the empty train were thrown from the track, the engine falling down an embankment. The engine of the east-bound train was also de railed, but the passenger cars kept the track, hence no one was injured. Pastorate Resignation Not Accepted. Chicago, June 24.—The vestry of the Church of the Ascension (Episcopal) this evening refused to accept the resignation tendered on Wednesday evening by Rev. Arthur Ritchie, the extreme ritualistic rec tor, but offered him six weeks’ vacation and a handsome cash donation, and undertook to raise the necessary $20,000 to apply on the new church edifice. The rector has not yet made answer. 1 ...izzrrjzm _■ Horsford’s Acid Phosphate IN SEASICKNESS. 8. 8.

Sunday and the Public Institutions Re movals by Commissioner Evans To Be Stopped—The Indian Question. ASSISTED EMIGRATION. An Irish Deputation and the President Ex change Views on the Subject. Washington, June 24.—A deputation headed by Mr, Alex. Sullivan, representing the Irishmen, waited upon President Arthur yesterday afternoon and presented him a resolution concerning “assisted emigration,” adopted at the recent meeting of the National League in Philadelphia. The party were re ceived in the President’s library, and Mr. Sul livan addressed the President, saying: Mr. President—A convention at Philadelphia of American citizens of the Irish race, composed of 1,200 delegates, chosen from all parts ot the United States, instructed me to present to you the following resolution: "Resolved, That the policy of the English gov ernment in first reducing the Irish peasantry to abject poverty and then sending them penniless to the United States, dependents upon American chanty, is unnatural, inhuman and an outrage upon the American government and people. We respectfully direct the attention of the United States government to this ißiqulty, protest against its continuance and instruot the officials who shall be ohosen by this convention to pre sent our protest to the President of the United States, and respectfully but firmly to urge upon the President that it is the duty of the govern ment of the United Btates to decline to support paupers whose pauperism began under and is the result of English misgovernment, and to de mand of England that she send no more of her paupers to these shores to become a burden upon the Amerioan people-” Mr. Sullivan then spoke at length on the evils entailed on the country by the aided emigration of the pauper peasantry of Ire land, denounced the British government for the barbarous methods pursued in the gov ernment of Ireland, and requested that the attention of the Gladstone ministry be called to the great wrong inflicted on a long suffer ing people. In closing, Sullivan introduced H. L. Hognet, president of the Irish Emi grant Savings Bank, New York, who said; Inmates of the poor-houses and other depend ents who have been receiving out-door relief In Ireland have been aided by the British govern ment to emigrate to this country. It is a matter of great knowledge that Parliament has voted £IOO,OOO to serve that purpose, and that the agents of the British government have come to this country to perfect arrangements for tue re ception of these aided emigrants. Application was made by Mayor Haskell to the Immigration Society at New York for that purpose, and the society declined to have anything to do with such business, and he proceeded to Boston, where he met with better success. The aided emigrants consist largely of people unable to work, old women and young children. They have been aided to t lie extent of having their passage paid, and are given the miserable pittance of ten shil lings upon their arrival here to enable them to go to their friends. Os course that sum is en tirely inadequate, and the consequence has been they are compelled to seek aid in New York, Bos ton and elsewhere. If regular affidavitsin regard to these facts are required they can be furnished. Werespeot fully request you to useyour influence to prevent a recurrence of this state of things. It is to the interest of the American municipalities to have the progress of this aided-emieration scheme stopped. At the proper time you will doubtless make appropriate recommendations to Congress upon this subject. James Lynch, of New York, president of the Irish Emigration Society; James Rey nolds, New Haven, Conn., and Patrick Smith, of Ohio, each called attention to spe cific cases in their respective States, after which the President replied as follows: The subject you present will receive my care ful consideration. It lias already been under consideration by the Secretary of Stato. Cor respondence in regard to it has been had with our diplomatic and cousular representatives, and an investigation into the facts is now being made by them. It is, of course, proper that this gov ernment should ascertain whether any nation with which it holds amioable relations is violat ing any obligation of Intel national friendship before calling attention to any such matter. In the meantime the law now provides that the of ficer* of the treasury shall examine into tne con dition of passengers arriving as Immigrants at any of the ports of the United States, and if there should be found any convict, lnnatic, idiot or any person unable to take care of himself without becoming a public charge, they Rhall re port the same in writing to the collector of such port, and such person shall not be permitted to land. The investigation will be thorough and ex haustive on this side of the Atlantic and the other, and in the meantime tue law will be strict ly enforced. Each of the delegates was then introduced to the President by Sullivan, and the confer ence closed. The delegates were well pleased with their reception and with the statements of the President. THE NICKERSONS. Mrs, Nickerson’s Statement of Her Relations and Troubles. National Republican, Saturday. A lady who was with Mrs. Nickerson on one or two occasions during the past week, and who has been one of her intimate friends for several years, said to a reporter yesterday that she was greatly shocked to observe the change in her face. "Why,” said the lady, "she looked ten years older than she did the week she started to Europe, and she told me her mental suffer ings had been almost more than she could bear. In spite of all she can do, I believe she still loves that rascally husband of hers, though of course she says she would never live with him again. She cried so when I was with her that I cried myself. She told me that on her departure for Europe she had a presentiment of something wrong. Her husband’s plea was that he wanted her to go away for economy, so that he might complete the payments on the Rhode Island avenue house that was to be a home for them and their little daughter, but in her heart she felt that all was not right and that some thing awful was going to happen, though she never dreamed what it was. She brushed it aside as a foolish fear, and thought no more about it, and her husband’s first letters were so affectionate that they entirely dis armed her of all suspicion of his treachery. "Mrs. Nickerson evinced a special feeling of contempt for Miss Lena Carter, and her eyes flashed fire while referring to the person she deemed to be the destroyer of her home. ‘I would never have known that woman,’ said she, 'if Maj. Nickerson had not brought her to our house. All the stories about her beiug INDIANAPOLIS, NONDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 18S3. an intimate and confidential friend of mine are untrue. The Major always brought her where I was, and I had an instinctive feeling that she was a snake in the grass.’ The lady further added that Mrs. Nickerson was de termined that her husband should not have a decree which would enable him to marry again, and would use every effort to prevent it. A report was current yesterday that Major Nickerson’s attorney would offer a proposi tion looking to the giving up of the property to Mrs. Nickerson, if a mutual divorce could be arranged, but that the wife’s attorney, being entirely confident of setting aside the transfer, declined to consider the suggested compromise. WHAT THEY COST. Statement of the Actual Expenses of the Star-Route Trials. Washington, June 23.—Complaints are heard from various quarters that the United States Courts are hampered for w; nt of money, owing to the large expenditures in the star-route cases. The question has been asked why the star-route lawyers were not required to wait for their money ac well as the regular court officials. The answer is probably the following: Had the Depart ment of Justice paid the expenses of the United States District Courts in the ordinary way the deficiency appropriation would have been required for the payment of the ex penses incurred in the star routes, and Con gress might have applied the pruning knife with reckless severity to the bills for special attorneys, stenographers, marshals’ expenses, etc, As the matter now stands, to refuse to make an appropriation to meet the deficiency would be to hamper the courts. The De partment of Justice officials maintain that the expenses of the trial have been magnified, and that they will not exceed $300,000. It is claimed that the expenditures are about as follows: Special counsel, B. H. Brewster, ser vices $5,000 George Bliss, services and expenses 50,813 K. T. Merrick 32,500 W. W. Ker, services and expenses 28.070 W. A. Cook, services 5,250 A. M. Gibson 5,000 S. H.

H. Woodward, postofiice inspector, estimated 7,076 Aggregate $261,318 THE INDIAN QUESTION. What Had Best Be Done with the Captured Apaches. National Republican. A gentleman who has been prominent in far Western politics for many years, who was Governor of a Western State several terms, who was a major-general during the war, asked a Republican reporter yesterday how Secretary Teller stood on the return of the Apaches, recently captured by General Crook, to the reservation. “I don’t know,” said the reporter. “How do you stand?” “I want to see them punished. The whole question lies in a nutshell. There are a great many Indians on the reservation who are now peaceable, but they are not wholly contented. They are not the barbarians the Eastern people think they are, but they are men of strong intellect and depraved morals. They regard the pale faces as their natural enemies, and are only kept quiet by fear of the government. If Loco and Mana are al lowed to return unpunished to the reserva tion, as they have been once or twice before, it will have the effect of shaking that fear among the quiet Indians.” “How is that?” “Why, the reservation Indians will reason among themselves. They will say ‘We are here on the reservation, quiet and peaceable, liv ing on beaf and bacon. We don’t have gold watches, or greenbacks, or new rifles, or any thing like Loco and Mana. They go off and get all these things, and are not punished for it. Let us do the same.’ “What measures do you think should be taken to settle the Indian question?” “It is settling itself. Education of the young Indians is having a splendid reforma tory effect. If the question should be set tled quickly, however, the best way, in my opinion, to do it would be to kill all the bucks.” NAVY EXPENSES. Secretary Chandler Thinks Three Millions Too Much for the Result#. Washington, June 24.—Secretary Chandler has addressed a letter to the chief of each bureau of the Navy Department, calling at tention to the recommendations of the com mission concerning the reorganization of the navy-yards, and the disposition proposed to be made of each yard. The commandants of the various yards have been furnished with a copy of the letter, and requested to assist in carrying out the plan of the commission. The Secretary alludes to the "statistics of the navv-yards,” and says they show an enormous daily ex penditure on the 16th day of November, 1882, namely: For 657 foremen, clerks and employes other than ordinary mechanics, and workingmen, $2,179, ami 3,805 other employes, $9,139, making 4,462 total em ployes at a daily compensation of $11,319. or at the rate of $3,010,000 a year, when the only work in progress on slifps of war at all the* yards was repairing on the Omaha, Shenandoah, Trenton, Ossipee, Mohican ami Alert. Secretary handler considers this enormous expenditure for such feeble re sults inconsistent with a faithful administra tion. THE REVENUE BUREAU. The Removals by ConuniHsioner Evans To Be Summarily Stopped. Washington Special, 23. There will be no further removals in the Internal Revenue Bureau by the new Com missioner, Mr. Evans, unless he himself is anxious to have a successor. The transfer of the chief clerk, yesterday, to make a vacancy for a personal friend, "with whom I can have confidential relations,” was an indiscreet step, after the intimations of disapproval which had been given from the White House. In agreeing to some change, fo r cause, the President never imagined that tbt responsibility for a general tedring up bj the roots was to be cast upon him. The\ steady and almost universal criticism from the press regarding the methods pursued by Mr. Evans have been particularly annoying to the President, who sees that he is being seriously compromised. A halt has agaiu been called, in a manner that cannot be mis taken even by one so dull as the new Com missioner lias proved himself to be. General Sewall, the chief of special agents, was the next on Mr. Evans’s list to be decap itated. As one of the indiscreet friends of the Commissioner put it to-day, “Sewall’s head was to be cut off clean down to the shoulders.” Another of the new Commis sioner’s partisans stated it more mildly. Gen eral Sewall was to be transferred after awhile to a field where the reduction in his pay would, it was thought, compel him to resign. At any rate he was to be gotten out of his present position, which pays sl2 a day, and a trusted friend appointed. Mr. Evans will not be allowed to interfere with General Sewall. The animus of the move in that direction is well understood in high quar ters, Mr. Horton blames General Sewall for his former discharge and present exposure.

DORSEY'S PROGRAMME. He Proposes to Damage the Republicans and Turn Himself Into a Democrat. Washington, June 23. During the recent star-route trials, and before, it wa3 stated that ex-Senator Dorsey would print certain documents and letters in his possession rela tive to the Garfield presidential election and the formation of the Garfield cabinet. This correspondence is alleged to be of a sensa tional character. A good deal of this sensa tion has been heavily discounted. It is known here, however, that Dorsey is now being negotiated with by a New York paper, and that all the writings relative to the cele brated Garfleld-Conkling compact will be pro duced in the columns of the journal that pub lished the Dorsey letter. Dorsey has held these papers sacred until now, when he feels that he owes nothing to the party that has rewarded him with disgrace. Ex-Senator Dorsey proposes, after he has damaged the Republican party as much as possible by dis closing some secret history, to transfer him self, troop and baggage, to the Democracy, and help them in the next presidential cam paign. He has an idea that he will be able to control a large negro following by preach ing to them his services in the Garfield con test, and he will try to show that his prose cution for star-route frauds was the result of a conspiracy among ttiedead President’s ene mies. GENERAL news. Argument iu the Kellogg Case Postponed Until Next Saturday. Washington, June 23.—1n the Criminal Court, Mr. Williams, counsel for Mr. Brady, asked Judge Wylie to dispose of the original and untried indictment in the star-route case, Mr. Ker said Mr. Bliss was in New York and Mr. Merrick was sick, and there fore asked that further time be allowed. Judge Wylie said be hardly thought the old indictment would trouble Mr. Williams again. Mr. Wilson, counsel for ex-Senator Kellogg, then asked to have the same action taken by the court upon the pleas in abate ment submitted on Monday last, but upon Mr. Ker’s statement that the government was not yet prepared to proceed in that mat ter, Judge Wvlie postponed the argument until Saturday next. General Brady to-day gave bail in $20,000 under the new indict ment. Sunday Opening of Public Institutions. Washington, June 24.—The Post will pub lish to-morrow a long article presenting the question of opening on Sundays the National Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, the Congressional Library and similar institu tions at the capital. Librarian Spoftbrd, Professor Baird, Colonel Robert G. lugersoll and Itev. Robert Collyer, of New York, favor the movement, while of the numerous min isters here but two approve tiie proposition. Notes and Personalities. Washington, June 23.—Mr. P. S. Heath, clerk of the House committee on invalid pensions, has returned from a visit to his home at Muncie, Ind. Among recent promotions in the Pension Bureau are William C. Mason, of Indiana, from a $1,400 to a $1,600 position, and Low 11. Mills, of Indiana, from a $1,200 to a $1,400 place. Second Assistant Postmaster-general Elmer lias annulled the contract of John R. Miner to carry mail upon the Niobrara star route. The President has appointed Colonel D. B. Parker postmaster at this city, vice Tullock resigned. Colonel Parker has been for a long time chief of the inspectors’ division of the Postofiice department. Secretary Teller has received copies of the published dispatches from Generals Scho field and Crook regarding the treatment of the Apache captives. Hon. Montgomery Blair is lying danger ously ill at his summer residence near Silver Springs, Md. Prohibition in lowa Politics. Des Moines, la., June 23.—Nearly thirty Republican county conventions to-day de clared for prohibition. Thus far over two thirds of the counties in the State have in structed delegates to the State convention next Wednesday, to vote for prohibitory measures. In this county to-day, resolutions were adopted: 1. Declaring saloons should be prohibited by law. 2. That the people of the State should take no part in the profits arising from the sale of intoxicating liquors. 3. That it is the duty of the next Legislature to carry out the will of the people as ex pressed on June 27, 1832. 4. That we agree to the principle of constitutional prohibition. 5. That all ofiicers elected are servants of and amenable to the people, who have the right to judge of their fitness; any other doctrine would he anti-republican. G.

People Driven from Home, Farms Threat ened, and Many Thousand Acres of Crops Destroyed. Breaks In Railroad Embankments, Inundating East St. Louis. Many Lives Lost in Nebraska—The South ern Part of That State and North ern Missouri Under Water. TUE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD. Breaking: of the Madison Dike, Near Alton —The Bottoms Overflowed. St. Louis, June 23.—A special to the Post- Dispatch from Alton, 111., says the levee at Madison broke at 8:15 this morning. The break occurred at two places at the same time. The pressure against the banks, which was the immediate cause of the disaster, came from an additional rise in the Mis souri river, the mouth of which is directly opposite the head of the levee. A body of water about twenty feet in height rushed through the gaps, and in a few minutes flooded all the adjacent bottom. The panic among the people was very great and uni versal. They fled toward the bluffs, carrying with them whatever of live stock and house hold goods they could save. Many head of live stock were drowned. Reporters who returned from Madison dike to-night say that five crevasses were opened during the day, and that when they left the scene all the upper end or new part of the dike was practically washed away, and that there was a clean sweep of w’ater 100 yards wide and fifteen deep rushing inland and spreading over all that part of the bottom west of the Chicago A Alton railroad track, which is on an embankment, and laying waste scores of farms and thousands of acres of wheat, corn and vegetables. A good deal of water also found its way into Long Lake, near Mitchell, and this, after raising the lake to a common level, will overflow and spread out to the eastward and southward, down the base of the bluffs, and only stop when it reaches the Ohio A Missis sippi railroad embankment which crosses the bottom directly east of East St. Louis, and should it pass the barrier it would run di rectly into East St. Louis from the rear, and inundate nearly if not quite all the town. The Chicago A Al ton track is still in a precarious condition in spots, but a large force of men are doing all that can be done to save it, and tlie prospects are largely in favor of its preservation. The rails are under water in two or three places, but an elevated track has been laid where necessary and trains are still run. The situation in East St. Louis proper is about the same as last night, except that the water is a little higher; but all the barriers which really protect the business part of the place are still intact and will re sist an additional rise of several inches. Southward, in the vicinity of East Caron delet and the bottoms which were flooded yesterday by the breaking of Fish-lake dike, presents no change other than that a greater breadth of land is submerged. All the set tlers, excepting a few negroes who still cling to the second stories or roofs of their habitations have abandoned their homes and sought safety on the bluffs and in the neighboring towns. A good many ne groes are huddled together in the churches and school-houses on high and dry ground and are making the most of their unfortu nate situation. Information from the Fish Lake region, received late to-night, says that fully 20,000 acres of land have been flooded by the break ing of the levee, and tliat the loss by the de struction of crops alone will reach $200,000. Fifty to 100 families, who depended iargely upon their garden patches for a livelihood, are in adestitutd condition, and the better to-do people in that section, who also have been driven from their homes by the devas tating flood, are not able to take care of them. LATER PARTICULARS. Breaking; of the Railroad Embankments Above Sr. Louis. St. Louis, June 24.—The river is still rising at this point, but more slowly than hereto fore. The exact measurement cannot be given at this writing, the ofiicial report not having been made yet. The flooded district in the northern part of the city presents about the same appearance it has for several days past. In the lumber district large gangs of men are still working on the levees and dikes which protect the different yards, and so far none of them have been flooded. A rise of another foot, however, will inundate all of them, and 70,000,000 feet of sawed lum ber will be surrounded by from two to eight feet of water. Should this dreaded event occur it is expected that fully one-half of this lumber will be upset, in* which case a great quantity of it no doubt will he floated away and lost. At Alton slough, about twenty miles above here, among some islands in the Mississippi river, which are u ,ed as a place of deposit for lumber, about 30.000,000 feet of sawed boards in rafts are moored, and while the slough is a reasonably secure place, consider able apprehensions are felt, lest the rafts should he broken up and swept down by the raging flood. In East St. Louis proper the situation is much the same as yesterday. The Bowman dike is still intact and protects the business part of the city, but outside there is nothing but a watery waste eo-extensive with the surrounding country. Early this fore noon the water which broke through the Madison dike yesterday morning reached a point a short distance above Venice, and broke a fearful crevasse in the Chicago A Alton railroad embankment. About 600 feet of track seemed to sink ami disappear in an instant, and the gap between has been widening ever since. Parallel* with this embankment runs the Indianapolis St. Louis and the WabavS i tracks, which could not withstand t ne terrfic current which was sent in through the Chicago A Alton breek, and they, too, went down in quick succession, cutting oil*all direct rail connec- PRICE LIVE CENTS. tion with the north. These breaks gave the water a speedy exit to the eastward, and all day a steady, rapid current has been n-.ssing out toward the bluff, and the water is now spreading over all the bottom land north of the old Ohio A Mississippi railroad embank ment. which crosses the bottom between East St, Louis and- Casey ville. It doesn't seem possible to restore these tracks, and the probabilities are that no effort will be made to repair the embankments until the water recedes. Meantime the Chicago A Alton, Chicago, Burlington A Quincy, and Indian apolis A St. Louis roads will convey passen gers to and from St. Louis and Alton by steamer, and trains for the North and East will be made up at the latter place The Wa bash will use the Vandalia and Illinois Cen tral line to Decatur, whence they will use their own road. The break in the Chicago A Alton track lias flooded nearly all the eastern part of Venice and forced many families to vacate their houses and seek* safety on higher grounds. Considerable of the town west of the C. A A. track, which runs directly through the nlace, is also submerged. The Venice and Enterprise elevators are closed, and the transfer stockyards, on the bank of the river, are no longer available for use. The damage to elevators and stockyards is said to be SIO,OOO to $12,000. All the country in the rear and east of Venice is inundated, and the amount of farm land on the Ameri can bottoms north of East St. Louis is said to be 10,000 to 15,000 acres, and the loss to crops is computed at not less than $200,000. This is a moderate estimate, other statements putting both the area of land and loss to crops at much higher figures. At East Carondelet, six miles below here, on the Illinois side of the river, the situation is said to be deplorable. Fully three-fourths of the families in the town are quartered in three school-houses and a few residences on a ridge of high ground along the track of the St. Louis A Cairo railroad. Most of these people are in a destitute condition, and un less they receive assistance there will be great suffering among them. From this point to the bluffs, four miles, and south ward for ten or twelve miles, tlie entire country is submerged, and presents a scene of the utmost desolation and ruin. Had the flood held back two weeks longer the farmers could have saved most of their wheat and potatoes, as both were nearly ready for har vesting; but now everything is lost and nearly all the farmers ruined. This can also be said of very many farmers elsewhere oil the bottom. Creve Occur lake, twenty miles west of here, which came into some prominence as a rowing course, last season Hanlon, Triccett, and other oarsmen appearing upon it, and which is really an old bayou of the Missouri river, has swollen so much from the high water in the river that it has overflowed its western bank and flooded the adjacent low laud, and done great damage. An immense ice-house, belonging to the Creve Ccsur Ice Company, was undermined and fell, entail ing a loss of $40,000, and the railroad hotel, and other property sustained cons idol* able damage. The litile town of Cahokia, a short dis tance from Carondelet, is all under water, and the inhabitants move about only in skiffs. Previous estimates of damage in this re gion are said to be much too low'. It is now stated that fully 10,000 acres of wheat alone are from tw’o to six feet under water, and as much more of corn, potatoes and other crops are submerged, causing a loss of $200,000. It is also stated that the St. Louis A Cairo and the Belt road, part of which extends to East Carondelet, have been damaged fully $50,000. The chief apprehension to-night seems to be that the track of the Vandalia road, against which a great body of water from tlie break in the Chicago A Alton now lies, and which is constantly increasing, will be flooded, This track is north of the Ohio .A Mississippi, and much low’er than the road, and will bear up a little more. The Ohio A Mississippi is above the flood line of 1844, which is several feet above the present rise, and therefore no apprehension is felt for it. Advices and dispatches from different points on the Missouri river say nearly all the bottom lands along the river are inun dated, and that hundreds of thousands ot dollars’ worth of crops have been totally destroyed, and thousands upon thousands of acres of splendid farms laid waste. The same kind of reports come from all places on the Mississippi river between here and Cairo. The river rose tlifee inches here to-day. and marked thirty-four feet seven inches at 5 o’clock this morning. NORTHERN MISSOURI. Extensive Damage to Crops and Farms- Difficulty o 1 Communication. St. Joskph, Mo., June 23.—At 10 o’clock to-night the river at this point is seventeen feet six and one-half inches above low water mark, a rise of five and one-half inches since 6 o’clock this morning. A heavy rain-storm occurred between 12 and 2 o’clock this morn* ing, seriously interfering with the repairing of the damaged railroad track and bridges. The Little Platte river and other streams which had partly subsided were again swollen to-day. The damage to public and private property by the late storms in northwestern Missouri, northern Kansas and southern Nebraska has been very great, but as the railroads nave all been suspended, wagon roads made impassible, and many of the wires broken down, the de tails h iv. come in but slowly. The damage to wagon roads and bridges, as well as crops, is more extensive than has been believed. Many people have been driven from thqir homes by the flood, losing everything thf*y had. including furniture, stock and imple ments. Only one mail arrived to-dav. at 3 o'clock this afternoon, from Kansas City, on the iv. C., St. Jo. AC. 15. railroad. The tauin was destined for Council Bluffs, with a fkrge bulk of mail, but had to be abandoned here. At a Stand at Kiinsa* City. Kansas City, June 23.—The river to-day fluctuated slightly, and to-night the gauge is about the same as it was twenty-four hours ago. Serious interruption to railroad traffic still continues, especially along the river above here, hut most of the roads are run ning trains, although some of them at great inconveiuend?. Rains, either general or local, are reported nearly every day from the country tributary to the Lower Missouri, and serve to maintain its present stage. The damage by floods in this immediate vicinity lias been less than in other localities, botlr above und below this city. THE NEBRASKA FLOOD.

2 ing near Cincinnati, Pawnee county, were compelled on Sunday night, by the flood, to leave their home, and they started in a small boat for the neighboring hills. While cross ing the stream the boat was upset, and his wife and four children drowned. All the bodies were recovered, the funeral occurring on Thursday. At Baker’s Ford, seven miles above Cincinnati, an old man named Aker and his wife were drowned while try ng 10 escape from their submerged house. In the same vicinity a Bohemian family of ten per sons undertook to reach a place of safety and were drowned. One woman saved herself by tying herself to a tree, where she remained for eighteen hours, and was nearly dead when rescued. It is also reported that two men were drowned in Long Branch creek, near Tab’e Rock. This swells the list of the drowned in Pawnee county to sixteen. The damage to crops and personal property is very great. The floods have now subsided. CRIMINAL NEWS. A Tezat- >lau> Way of Providing for His Family. Galveston, June 23. —The News's Longview special says: “James Cheatl.am, formerly a prominent citizen of Clarksville, but lately of San Marcos, was arrested at the latter place on Thursday, charged with forging proof of the death of a member of the Mutual Self-en dowment Association, who held a policy of $5,000. He was brought to Longview this morning, and told the guards he was very sleepy, and was taken to an upper room, oc cupied by the deputy sheriff. He soon com plained of the heat, and was allowed to go into another room by himself, leaving his watch and clothing behind. He was shortly afterward found dead, with his throat cut. He left letters asserting his innocence. If guilty, he had not failed in his intention of obtaining money for his family, for his wife bolds a policy on his life in the same associa tion for $6,000.” A Villain’s Slayer Confesses. Cincinnati. June 24.—The Commercial Ga zette’s Williamstown, Ky., special says: “This morning William Childers was found dead in the road near Dry Ridge, with a bullet-hole through his head. The coroner’s jury could find no evidence as to the perpe trator. but Brock McCormick was suspected until Haden Northcote surrendered himself to the constable, confessing that he commit ted the crime. Childers was a desperado much feared, and was responsible for a mis step in life by Northcote’s sister. The cir cumstances were against McCormick till Northcote surrendered.” Major Wasson’s Sentence. Chicago, June 23.— 1 t is ascertained that the sentence of the court-martial in the case of Pavraaster Wasson is dismissal from the army, eighteen months’ imprisonment in the penitentiary and the publication of the proceedings and findings of the court-martial m the lowa papers. Eight of the twelve members of the court-martial recommended clemency, but General Augur, who reviewed the sentence, disapproved of the recommend ation, and General Sheridan has forwarded the papers in the case to Washington with out recommendation. Mr. Haven a Defaulter. Rutland, Vt., June 24.—1n relation to the suit for SC>O.OOO against ex-Treasurer Haven, of the Rutland railroad, it is now found that it is based upon a shortage just discovered in tMe cash account. Haven also overissued 3,000 or more shares of stock. The examination of the books brought to light misuses of the company's funds which successive expert investigators failed to disclose. The road will not suffer, a* it ie secured against loss. James H. Will iams. of Bellows Falls, was appointed Ha ven’s successor. Tin* Virginia Duelists Still MUslas. Richmond, June 24.—Nothing lias been heard to-day from Bierne and Elam. It is expected that the former is in West Virginia awaiting new arrangements for a hostile meeting. Elam’s whereabouts are not stated, hut rumor locates him at various points. When or where the meeting will take place is more a mystery now than ever; that it will occur is not doubted. Though the ex citement for the past three days has abated, the anxiety and desire to hear from the par ties is Still intense. A Physician Fatally Stabbed. Richmond. Va., June 24.—An affray oc curred this afternoon between Dr. W. T. Crutchfield and L. F. Mason, and the former was stabbed four times in the body. Fhy&i cians ay the wounded man cannot live. The difficulty was the result of an old feud. Dr. Crutchfield is twenty-seven years old and single: Mason is married, and about forty years old. Both are from highly respectable families. The legitimacy of Lynch Law. Burlington Hawkey*. Lynch law is the child of the court-room. The offspring is illegitimate, maybe, but none the less is it a “natural child.’* If the law never slept; if the courts dispensed only justice; if the wrong men never won law suits; if innocent men never went to jail, and if it did not sometimes cost the govern ment a million dollar* to acquit a thief; if murderers never waited out of the court room amid the triumphant applause of their friends. Judge Lyncn would adjourn his court forever. James Nutt, the avenger, was no possible until the Dukes jury called him into being. Had the creatures wdiich com posed that body hanged, imprisoned or even banished his father’s murderer, the quiet, in offensive boy would, perhaps, have never been known outside of his own county. But the law would not avenge him, and this boy had to teach the law its duty and perform that duty for it. Lynch law is a bad thing, but it is better than no law; it is better than corrupted law; it is supremely better than the law that stands by the open grave of the victim and holds the broad shield of protection over the murderer. Herr Most never made a Com munist in his life; it isn’t the Russian stu dents who make Nihilists of men. James Nutt never suggested to himself that he go out and shoot somebody. It’s the president and directors of the solid insurance company or bank who divide up the money among themselves and hie away to Canada’ or give ‘he depositors and patrons ten cents on the dollar, that make Communists; it’s the gov ernment that stands with its feet on the neck ■of the people that makes Nihilists; it’s the •a v that protects and respect* such criminals 4 Dukes that puts the revolver into the hnnds of young Nutt.

Tlie C bden Club All Torn Up Over a French Free-Trader— Lots!** Michel Goes to Prison for Six Years. Twenty-five Lives Lost by a Collision near P’. You know the Freedman’s Bunk was just started, and the colored people were enthusi astic. Servant girls, meu workiug on the streets, laborers and farm hands, all saved up their money. I never before saw such a thrifty and industrious feeling among a whole people. The men avoided the whisky shops and the women saved the money they would have tq>ent on dress. Every dollar that could be roked together went to the bank. Then the bank broke, and thousands of us lost our hard-earned savings. I lost $556, not a great deal to some people, but it was a big pile of money to me, and it represented many a hard lick and many an honest blow. Thisdemoralized us, and from that shock, too, many have failed ever to recover. It de stroyed their faith in every scheme that has since been advanced for their good. Many became idlers, because they said it was use less U> try to earn money when you couldn’t *ave it. With idleness came all the rest— -inking and card-playing, lighting and steal .4.

Sup pose I have a sou that is a mechanical genius. Suppose I send him to a zhop to learn his trade. What would the result be?

Could he get a single white man to employ him? Suppose he has medi cal ability. Can he get a single white man to send for him? Do you see the disadvantages we labor under? I tell you frankly that we have not made such very great headway, but, then, I would ask you also to consider the obstacles we have had to overcome. But this prejudice is slowly dying out, and as fast as it dies away, just so fast does the black man rise. When the black doctor can command as good a practice as the white doctor, when the black lawyer can hope for the same re ward as the white lawyer, when the black boy can enter the same shops with the white boy; in short, when black and white are given equal chance, then we can ho|>e for rapid progress, and not till then.

STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP. Series of Destructive Fires Set by Tramps at Laporte. Martinsville Mills Burned—Drowning and Suicide at Fort Wayne-lsland Park Sunday-School Programme. Special to the Jnilianapolls Journal. Laportk. June 23. —At 4 o’clock this morn ing fire was discovered in the sheds of Moore Hutchinson's lumber-yard, and was not extinguished until $2,000 worth of property had been destroyed. Shortly alter its dis covery Huntsman's mill, the oldest in the city, and a very large irame structure, was seen to be in tlames, anu was totally destroy ed. It was the property of the Tal mage Ice Company, who will lose about $1,600. It was unoccupied, except by machinery stored there by Mr. Huntsman, on which the loss cannot at present be ascertained. The tram way to the Talmage Ice Company caught fire from the mill, and was destroyed. Loss, $2,000. All the property, except the mill building, was insured. The fire is supposed to be the work of tramps, who have threat ened to burn the town in revenge for being arrested and compelled to work on the streets by the city authorities. All locks to the city hose-houses were plugged np by the rascals. Relics of the “Hard Cider” Campaign of 1840 in Indlaua. Terre Haute Express, yesterday. D. A. Orman, the well-known traveling man of this city, while in Lawrence county, this State, last week, came into tbe possession of an old medal of the “hard cider” campaign of 1840, in which General William Henry Harrison was elected President. It bears *on one side a representation of a log cabin, and a barrel of cider placed under an adjcJnlLg tree. On the reverse side are the inscriptions, •‘The People’s Choice, the Hero of Tippe canaoe—Maj. Gen. W. H. Harrison, born February 9, 1772.” The nieda' was plowed up in a field near Bird Station, in Lawrence county, and was secured by Mr. Orman to present to Hon, R. W. Thompson, who is *.ho fcole survivor of the electoral ticket of that campaign. ANOTIIER RELIC. Henry D. Christy, of Riley township, who has been a resident of this county for fifty one years, called at the Express office yester day with another relic of the Harrison cam paign in the shape of a ticket used at the polls on election day. It is now worn and discolored by age. but the following printing on it can be faintly distinguished: VOTE THE wnOLR TICKET. PEOPLE’S NOMINATIONS: For President, William FI. Harrison, of Ohio. For Vice-president, John Trior, of Virginia. Presidential Electors (Pledged to Harrison and Tyler), Electors at Lar^e, Jonathan McCarty. Joseph O. Marshall. District Electors. First Dtstr.ot—John W.

On last Saturday Dr. Wesley Jones, who has been stopping at Marshfield, Warren county, for the past two months, took Tames McShene into his room in the hotel, and nothing more was seen of the two until even ing, when the landlord called them to sup per. In the hall he found a man covered with a bloody sheet Lifting this, he saw McShenc stark naked, smeared with blood, and unconscious. His first thought was chat a murder had been committed, and the alarm was given and a big crowd soon gathered. An examination of McShene, who was soon brought to consciousness, showed a two-inch gash in the back part of his head, and a cut over one of his eyes and one below it. Jones’s room was broken open, and it revealed a ghastly sight. The floor was covered with blood, and the room so filthy that many could not stay to examine it. McShene’s clothes were found, all tun wrong side with great precision. Jon i! i after the crowd gathered, but he we after ward knocked down twice by Mcb friends, one of whom would have killed him If the crowd had not held him. The cause of this strange freaK of Jones is whisky. He had been a hard drinker for years,- and the theory is that he was crazy and got his head turned in such a position that he imagined himself in the college dissecting-room. Mc- Shene probably had too much l.quor in him to object, and the novelty of dissecting a live subject was proceeded with. McShene is a farmer living near John Sheridan. His in juries did not prove serious, and no is now around as usual. He must have been chloro formed during tbe operation, for he remem bers nothing about it, and still claims Jones as one of his best friends. Islaud Park Sunday-School Assei.iby.

Another name has been added to the list >f women in Montgomery county who are engage and in pursuits not ordinarily followed by women. W. H. Durham had occasion to po to North Union on Thursday, and w hile there visited a saw-mill owned by a man named Everman. To his surprise he ebserv jd that the engineer was a young girl, who attended to her business with all the skill of an experienced and capable engineer. Her name is Maggie Evertnan, the dangbter of the man to whom the mill belongs. She is also the niece of the brother-in-law of Mrs. Dur ham. Miss Maggie probably finds her em ployment more pleasant and much more profitable than sweeping, sewing and dish washing, which were formerly supposed to be the proper employment for the “female.” She is, notwithstanding her occupation, a modest and womanly girl, quite as refined and as feminine as if she had kept herself within the prescribed bounds of “woman’s sphere,” as it is understood by those who have a holy horror of strong-minded women. Refased To Be Arrested. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Siiklbtville, June 24.—Last month a fel low named James Rogers, of Sugar-creek township, went down to Boggstown and got drunk, and while in that condition chased two fellows all over the village with a loaded revolver. Nothing had ever been done with him until yesterday, when Constable Full, armed with a warrant, attempted to arrest him while plowing corn. Rogers drew his revolver on the officer and would not be taken. Full called for assistance, but Rogers drove them all off the farm, threatening to kill any man who laid hands on him. An affidavit was sworn out for resisting the offi cers, but Rogers fled to the country and can not be found. 4 Sunc’my Observance. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, J uue 24.

While a southwest gale was blowing at Long Point, De Witt county, the other day, with a drizzling rain, the wind suddenly shifted to the northwest, bringing a scorching atmosphere that wilted oats and burnt blades of grass, caus ing amazement among the inhabitants. At Jacksonville, on Saturday, some fireworks exploded in the store of Ti. A. McDonald, blowing out the front of the building and enveloping the structure in a sheet of flames. A. N. McDonald and Leonard Lott attempted to escape through the second-story window. McDonald, In doing so, received severe injuries.

Fort Billings Fort Bmith THREE SPENDTHRIFT SONS. Millions That Melted in Thin to the Merry Popping of Corks. New York Letter i:i Washington Star. I saw young Beverly Tiiden at the theater the other night, in faultless evening dress, with a huge solitaire glittering in his shirt and another on his finger. Somehow his ap pearance was a surprise not only to me, but to everybody else. It is the firci time he has been out since his lawsuit began, and people expected him to wear old clothes and appear downcast and poverty-stricken But he did not. He was quite as easy-going and good natured as ever, and looked fully as wealthy as he dil two years ago. Ke is one of the three sons of the late Wil liam Tiiden, who left an estate of $2,000,000. The boys have run through it all, though the oldest is only twenty-three years of anc. They have now instituted a suit against the executors of the estate to as certain if there is any more money left, and also to show cause why they gave minors so much money. One of the youngsters, while only eighteen years old. spent $175,000 in Europe. Beverly has been living very fast of late and playing high. He has had more horses than he could drive, and he gave innumerable banquets at Pelmonico’s. He is a member of the Turf Club, and squandered thousands over the baccarat tables here. One of the freaks of the boys at Berlin a few years ago caused a great (leal of talk in Europe. They gave a grand ball to all the Americans in Germany. The thing was carried out in the most ex travagant style, and cost so many thousand dollars that the thrifty Germans have not yet stopped wondering at it. The Hoy Fiend u Man Now. Norristown Herald. An acquaintance while in Concord, Mass., recently, visited the prison in which Jeese Pomeroy is confined. The bov has reached a man’s stature now. Under the condition of his sentence lie is kept in solitary confine ment. He has no intercourse whatever with the other prisoners, and the visitor was not permitted to speak to him. Solitary confine ment, in liis case, does not mean the utterly cheerless existence that one would imagine. Pomeroy, it is said, has developed into a young man of more than ordinary intellect, thoughtfulness and reasoning powers. He is allowed to have all the books he wants, and, with these companions, his mental life is not wholly devoid of comfort. Since he has been in prison he has acquired enough knowledge of several languages to read them well. While more intelligent and intellect ual than the average, iie is destitute of moral nature and hasn’t the slightest conception of the enormity of the acts by which he took the lives ot several little children.

Fremont St., Baltimore During the war I was in jured ialhe stomach by a piece cf a shell, and have suffered from it ever since. About four ♦ears ago it brought on paraly sis, which kept me in bed six months, and the best doctors in the city said I could not live. I suffered fearfully from indigestion, and for over two years could not eat solid food and for a large portion of the time was unable to retain even liquid nourishment.

The Mississippi and Missouri are giving another proof of their ability to rise above levees—and big appropriations. Missouri seems to be having rather more than its share of disasters, and. to add to the horrors of the situation, the State is appar ently hopelessly Democratic. That illuminated address which is being prepared by the London friends of the Queen of Madagascar, ought to throw some light upon the question of her reported death, A movement has been started for the relief of the sufferers by the flood in the vicinity of Bt. Louis. Great destitution and some suf fering is reported from the localities most affected by the levee break. The Illinois Supreme Court has just de cided that a contract made on Sunday is just as binding as if entered into on any other day. The pretense that Sunday is not a day in law’ is about to be entirely done away with. Thf. South of to-day is prolific in argu ments for protection. The Alabama news papers report that the price of common labor in that State has increased twenty-five cents per day as the result of the recent growth of manufactures _______________ It is a common thing for lynching parties to announce, after hanging their man, that the evidence of his guilt was unquestioned and conclusive. Then why lynch, if the means are at hand for a conviction or pun ishment according to law? The glowing picture of the prospects awaiting the colored man in Liberia has lost its power to charm. The colored man has been there. The emigration agent will have to find some other scheme if he hopes to catch the American negroes again. The contract for carrying the mail on one of the Nebraska routes, awarded to Miner, a •tar-route defendant, by Second Assistant Postmaster-general Elmer, has been rescinded by General Gresham. The award was de cidedly questionable, and the recission is in the interest of public morality. The Indian seems to give the authorities more trouble after he is captured than when upon the war-path. There ought to be enough judgment at hand to dispose of a band of savage murderers and thieves. Why should there be so much pollyfoxing just because the criminal is a red man. The practice of courts in asking the con demned if he as anything to say why sen tence should not be pronounced upon him is the most grotesque formality known. No matter what manner of speech might be made, or how many objections should be urged why sentence should not be pro nounced, the result is always the same. The sentence is pronounced and the sheriff or dered to execute it. This is some of the non sense of the law. Friends of Major Nickerson explain his downfall after the old, old way: “The wo man tempted me and I did eat.” To the credit of the man be it said that he has made no such claim. The account referred to says wife No. 2 was possessed of means; that her money purchased the residence which he deeded to her, and that she gives it up with the understanding that No. 1 gets a divorce and gives her a quit-claim to the Major. Possibly this is true, and possibly not; but the country has had about enough of the Nickersons. The only thine: of interest now would be the news that he had been dishon orably drummed out of the United States service. Indianapolis warmly welcomes the four teenth line of railway, the Indianapolis Chicago Air-line, which opens up to the trade and society of the capital seven of the richest and best counties of the State. We specially wish to indorse and emphasize the remarks made by Judge Martindale with respect to the character of the business done upon the Indianapolis Board of Trade. He is one of the governors of the board, and is in a position to know, therefore it is the more gratifying to hear him say to our visitors and future tradesmen that they will fiud only legitimate business transacted on our Exchange. That is a policy which, in the long run, will add to the substantial prosperity of Indianapolis. The trouble among the Ohio Democrats in creases. The organization of the central and campaign committees is in the hands of the boys and bummers, men utterly out of sym pathy with the ticket nominated, by reason of which there is a very merry war raging along the whole line. Judge Iloadly threat ens to withdraw from the ticket unless the party management is radically changed, while Durbin Ward, ex-Senator Thurman, and others, get hotter as they have time to think over their scandalous treatment. Allen G. Thurman, jr., the old Roman's son, open ly announces that he shall vote and work for Judge Foraker, while the father has declared that the Democratic ticket did not deserve to be elected. Hoadly’s weaknesses are becoming more and more manifest. Token by and large the Ohio Democracy are nearly as har monious as are their brethren in this great aud growing Commonwealth. THE SILK TARIFF. The production of silk in this country has increased very rapidly since 1850. For in tance: in 1850 the total products were worth $1,M)0,000; in 1860, $6,000,000; in 1870, $12,- 000,000, and in 1880, $35,500,000. This shows that from a very small industry, in 1850. silk has now become quite important. The rate of increase shows, too, that the importance is increasing at a very rapid ratio. In 1861 raw silk was admitted free of duty. The average rate of duty under the last bill on articles made from silk was estimated at GO per cent.; under the new act the duties on silk and silk goods range from 10 per cent, to 50 per cent, ad valorem. Since the manufacture of silk began in this country the price on sewings and machine twists (the first silks to be manufactured here) has fallen 56 per cent.; the price on dress goods, which have been manufactured here for only four or five years past, has been re duced 30 or 35 per cent. The cost of manu facturing a pound of silk in Europe is only about $3.50; with us it is $6 or $7. The wages paid workers in silk here are better than those paid in Europe. Compare Switzerland and the United States: Weavers of plain ribbons—Swiss, $3.30 to 4; United States, $13.50 to sls. Weavers of Jacquard fancy ribbons—Swiss, $4 to $4 50; United States, sls. Warpers—Swiss, $3: United States, $lO. Winders—Bwiss, S2T3I; United States, $7 to $0 A glance at this table will show one reason why it costs more to manufacture a pound of 6ilk here than it does in Switzerland. Compare a little further the wages re ceived: A female hard silk winder—United States, $5.25; England, $2.96. A male weaver (power looms)—United States, $11.45; England, s">.4o. A male designer—United Btates, $24.71; En gland, sl2. These prices are for ten hours per day in this country, and for from twelve to fifteen hours per day in England and France. The manufacturer of silk here pays bis operatives 100 per cent, more than the English employer pays, 200 per cent more than the French, 300 per cent, more than the Italian. To this higher cost must be added the cost for freight, insurance, commissions, and handling, which the American manufacturer necessarily has to meet. All this time it must be remembered that raw silk is admit ted free of duty. We note these facts: The American worker in silk gets higher wages, as shown above; the American consumer gets silks from 30 to 56 per cent, cheaper, as shown above, since w r e have been manufacturing here; the American manufacturer now supplies 50 per cent, of the goods consumed, whereas in 1860 he only supplied 13 per cent. Here protection seems to have directly benefited and to now benefit the worker, the employer, and the consumer of silk goods. The free trader is gradually being driven from every position he has assumed. He will soon begin to argue that as the New England factories have been long established they are strong enough to staud and thrive without protection. This is a great country, and legislation must assume a corresponding spirit. The South and the West need pro tection now as much as the East did years ago; and more so, perhaps, than the New England States do now. Wiser Democrats, such as Senator Yoorhees, see this and are arguing to suit these demands. They point out forcibly that an abolition of the customs duties means direct taxation; a kind of taxa tion of which every man will directly bear and feel the burdens. The present system distributes the burden directly upon each consumer in proportion to the amount con sumed, and compensates for the price paid by giving to the manufacturer increased profits and a borne market, to the laborer higher wages, free schools, and the best of govern ments. To every middle merchant it gives the advantage of a busy, thriving community in which to sell his wares. It directly bene fits the mass of the people. The Republican party takes the old, solid ground—protection to home muscle, home brain, home energy and home capital—and standing on this ground, it is willing to receive all attacks and to advance into the conflict. Mrs. Jane Grey Swisshelm reads a long lecture to the ministers of Pittsburg, and to people in general, who are distressed because young James Nutt killed Dukes instead of leaving him to be punished by God in his own way and in his own time. Mrs. Swiss helm does not uphold the deed, but desires to know by wbat authority the people as sume that the deed was not done in the Lord’s own way and time. The energetic lady is very pointed in her remarks, not to say disrespectful to the cloth; but how do they know, sure enough? The Knightstown Banner, discussing an article in the Journal a few days since, upon the necessity of reform in court methods, says: “But it is not simply in the trial of great cases and great offenders that reform in court practice is needed. If a client has money, and is willing to use it freely, he can prevent a decision of his case by change of venue, false affidavits in reference to absent wit nesses, and various other pretexts, until time enough has elapsed to prevent any such gathering of material facts as are necessary to a full and complete trial of the case. A few years aco in one of the southern counties of Indiana a man was delib erately shot down ny a cowardly as sassin; the murderer was arrested, tried, convicted and sent to the penitentiary for life. The man had money, and shrewd attorneys in reviewing the case succeeded in securing anew trial on the ground of an er ror in the ruling of the judge who presided at the trial. And then began a systematic effort to delay anew trial until the public should lose all interest in the prosecution of the case. Tint there was a change of venue, then followed delay after delay, because of inability to secure the attendance of alleged important witnesses. The trial was thus de layed two years. The attorneys and friends of themurderer boasted that the trial should not take place until the witnesses were dis posed of, by purchase or otherwise. The few friends of the murdered man had no money to prosecute. In the end the prose cution wa.-, virtually abandoned, and the as sassin, after a brief term, was set free. Such proceedings are a simple mockery in the name of justice. Reform must come or the courts of the land will become a hissing and a by-word. To effect the needed reform, ad ditional legislation will doubtless be neces sary, and this additional legislation be one of the important factors of politics in the near future.” A FEARFUL CRIME. The revelations of the deeds of “Dr.” Hathaway, of Philadelphia, are revolting beyond belief. It would seem impossible that such a monster could be found even in the most densely heathen region of the world, and to have it said of a city like Philadelphia that such an inhuman fiend found lodgment there and battened on the most infamous crime conceivable seems like a nightmare. Since his arrest L‘ wretched wife has revealed what she kno of his practices, aud her story is absolutely sickening in its appalling details. His criminal art was daily practiced upon disgraced and sinful women—not by ones or twos, but by scores; it now appearing that the horrible total will reach into the hun dreds, if not thousands. According to the woman’s story, when the babes were born by such unnatural and violent means as the “Doctor” made use of—and they were gener ally born dead—the limp little bodies were thrown down a cellar stairway, like so much offal at a slaughter-house. The details would sicken a Zola. The infamous “Doctor” seems to have become deadened to all sensibility, and went about his bloody and murderous business with as much coolness and deliberation as though he were a butcher and his subjects so many sheep or hogs. The bodies were dis posed of in various ways; some were buried in the cellar, while others were burned. Not content with practicing murder on the un born children of sin and shame, he even made away with his own, according to the testimony of the unhappy woman who passed as his wife. What should be done with such a miscre ant is of less importance than the humiliat ing and startling fact that such as he could be found in civilized society, and further, that hundreds of men and women can be found who deliberately furnish hint with material for his horrid trade. It is a dreadful thing to reflect that the city of Phil adelphia has huudred? of undetected mur derers in its society, Some of them, doubtless, move in high circles, are wholly unsuspected, and would scorn to be called wicked, with out having the charge of murder written against their names. The extent of Hatha way’s operations may be exaggerated, and it is to be hoped it is; but it is notorious that this crime is widespread, and is practiced where little thought of its infamous charac ter is seriously entertained. The exposure of Dr. Hathaway will call public attention to what has been more or less spoken of with bated breath. It is humiliating and embarrassing to write on this subject, but something must be said and done that shall put an end to such men as “Dr.” Hathaway, who are to be found in almost every community, in kind but happily not in degree, and one effectual way will be to arouse such a conscientious senti ment as to remove the demand for such infa mous services. It is useless to mince mat ters. Society that will allow such butchery and makes it possible is rotten, and it were false modesty that would prevent any body from unqualifiedly denouncing this dreadful iniquity. “Dr.” Hathaway should be fairly tried, and if found guilty, should be hanged. More than this: it should be made a point to sift this business to the bottom, and to bring to punishment all who have had any hand in it. It may shatter society as it is, but it will build up on the ruins a purer and better order of things. Let the investigation be complete, and let no guilty man or woman escape. It ought to strike most people that the trial of the Jews at Tisza-Ezlar, in Hungary, is a glaring farce, concocted by designing “Christians” (God save the mark), who took that means to arouse prejudiced violence. Who ever heard of blood of any kind being mixed in passover bread? Who but an ass or fanatic could conceive of such a ridiculous idea? It is a shame that the mockery of a trial on such a palpable fraud is possible in the name of Christianity. The followiug extract from a private letter written by M. Laboulaye in 1878, describing bis acquaintance with Charles Sumner, has been sent to the New York Tribune for publication: “During his last visit to Paris, Mr. Sumner ex pressed a strong desire to see M. Gumbetta. This was easily brought about. I dined with Mr. Sumner tlio day after the interview, aud asked him what impression Gambetta had made on him. ‘I found him,' he replied, ‘an amiable and intelligent man, who appeared to be ani mated by the best intentions. But it seemed to mo that tlie political education of M. Gambetta was very incomplete, and that lie had much to learn before he should be lit to govern such a country as France. I saia to him on departing: I utn not French; I am not well enough acquaint ed with your people to sav what line of policy suits them. But you wish to found a republic without religion. In America we should con sider such an attempt chimerical and doomed to oei tain disaster.’ “I knew Mr. Sumner on his first visit to Paris, after the Brooks affair. We were vuity Quickly drawn to each other, because of a common weak ness—the love of books. I remember the pleas ure he felt in finding in my library a pamphlet in quarto, entitled, if I urn not mistaken, ‘Voyage in America; Printed on board the Squadron; Fort/ copies struck off.’ This volume is the first sketch of rlie voyage of the Marquis of Chastel lux, who was a brigadier-general in the French army under Roohatnbeau* An account of this voyage was printed later in France, in two oc tavo volumes, about the year 1780. But the in teresting feature or this pamphlet was its hav ing been printed on boatd the French squadron which carried the army of Kocliawbeau to Rhode Islaqd. I immediately presented the pamphlet to Sumner, who took it with him to America “Such are my anecdotal recollections of Sum ner. It is scarcely necessary to say that he was received everywhere ss he deserved to be, and that everybody was struck by his polished man ners, his mental powers and his elevated char acter. Ido not believe that an American ever made so great au impression in France, and I know that he fully appreciated the kind recep tion he had experienced on every hand. The consciousness of this good will which sur rouuded him gave his mind fresh vivacity, and whether he spoke in English or in French (and he was quite at his ease in the latter language), he expressed himself with a warmth and a gayety which added new charms to his supe rior intellect. He has left many friends in France, and his premature death caused pro found regret.” The New York Christian Advocate, in an ed itorial review of the reasons for the miscarriage of the law in the star-route trials, says: “Were Webster, Choate, Pinckney, Jeremiah Mason. Caleb Cushing and George Wood inferior lawyers, that they could not speak more thau three or four hours in a case of great magnitude and importance, or are Bliss, Merrick, lugersoil, aud the men who have spoken by the week in the star-route trial greater or less than they! How far is this to go! The increase of costs to litigants, the uncertainties thatjurors can live to the end of trials, or that principals can hope to survive, will make the oourts evon more doubtful resorts for justice than they have been. The trial of Henry Ward Beecher was the first of these very long trials, but that has now been surpassed. Perhaps if it bad beeu a month or two longer, like this, it would have resulted in an acquittal instead of a disagreement, or shorter in something else. There must be some thing in what au old lawyer calls the philosophy of a wearmg-out policy.” Captain Ebknezer Morgan, of Groton, Conn., is going to have a Baptist Bible if it takes his last cent. Not long ago he subscribed $25,000, to be used in securing a translation of the Scrip tnres from a Baptist point of view. Now he has purchased the translator’s library, collected after many years’ effort by the church in ques tion, and has presented it to the Madison Uni versity, at Hamilton, N. Y. As the original cost of the library was $240,000, and Mr. Morgan paid only $15,000, it will be seen that he did a neat stroke of business, as well as a benefit to the college. A white man, apparently well eduoated, and with plenty of money, but blind, applied in vain to Kansas City Justices aud ministers to unite him in marriage to a lady of color. Those es timable citizens were much shocked, and tried to persuade the mau to give up the idea, but he was a faithful lover, and swore the woman should yet be his wife. Inasmuch as he could not see. and oould say, “If she be not black to me. what care I how black she be,” it would seem that the sensitive scruples of the justices might have been overcome. A special declares that the head and face of Guiteau have been preserved in al ohohol, it having been peeled off the skull and sewed together. Possibly. But when the truth ful biatoriau goes on to say that by means of cot ton stuffed upon the inside “the exact outlines of the murderer’s countenance, as well as the expression, has been retained,” credulity gets right up on its hind legs and howls dismally. The highest society circles of Montreal are re ported to be convulsed because of a scandal in one of the best and most refined families. A young wife has sued for a divorce because her husband maltreated her, he atone time knocking her down on the street in daylight, and attempt ing to choke her.

The record shows that there were thirty-three snow-storms at Boston from Nov. 17, 1882. to April 29, 1883, and the fall of snow was 4 feet ’6*3 tnohes.

THE PHILADELPHIA HORROR. A Recital that Outdoes the Story of the Cruel ties of Herod. Philadelphia, June 23.—The coroner has begun an investigation of the charges against Dr. Hathaway, alleged to have buried the bodies of illegitimate children in the cellar of his house. The Doctor was brought from prison and was present during the examination. Anuie Maria Em ory, the alleged wife of Hathaway, testified at length in regard to the burning of the babies and their burial in the cellar. The son 9 of both the Doctor and the woman gave similar testimony. Detectives Wolf and Miller were examined in regard to the dis coveries in the house occupied by the ac cused. The jury returned a verdict that Dr. Hathaway was guilty of abortion in numer ous cases, and Hathaway was committed for trial and his alleged wife held as a witness Horrible Recital. Philadelphia Special, 23. Before committing Dr. Hathaway for trial, to-day, Coroner Janney said with unusual solemnity: “I believe that you have been guilty of the murder not only of hundreds, but of thousands of dear children.” And, indeed, the evidence given to-day would seem to prove that his career of infamy has been long enough to enable him to make a record unparalleled in the history of crime in any city in the world. The man is seventy six years of age, but as he appeared this morning he would easily pass for sixty ot under. He i hale and well preserved, and has eyes of unusual brightness for one so old* He wore a thin alpaca coat and a white shirt without a collar. He looked shabby and miserable as far as his dress was concerned, but in spirit he did not appear to be much perturbed. A nervous jerking of his hands as he tumbled an old stove-pipe hat now and then was the only indication he gave of any feeling, and that only when Anna Emory took the stand. She said: “I became acquainted with Hathaway fif teen years ago, one week before I supposed myself to be legally married to him. I do not know the man who married us. There was no one present but the three of us. I lived with him as his wife for fourteen years, and have had three living children and one dead. I had not been married be fore. During the time I lived with Hatha* way as his wife I was ill several times through his operations.” She described the instrument, and pro* cedure adopted by Hathaway in his criminal practices, and also identified it. She said he had been operating upon women as long as she knew him. He told her that ha learned the practice when he was twenty one. She had been present at some of the operations and assisted bim. His charges were $lO, sls, S2O and $25, according to theic conditions. She did not know the names of any of the patients. Most all of the children born in the house were born alive, but they did not long remain alive. Hathaway would take the children away himself. When tiie house was clear he would bury the bodies in the cellar. There were dogs in the yard, but she did not know whether he turned them into the cellar. Sometimes there would be as many as twenty live or thirty patients in one day. The aver age was Shout ten a day. Hathaway had thrown some of the bodies into the fire three or four hours after birth. There was abund ance of corroborative testimony froip Beni. Hathaway, a nineteen-year-old son, and Ed ward Hitcher, a son of Anna Emory. The coroner said to the jury that the instrument used by Hatnaway, although a rough one and probably made by a blacksmith, was an ingenious affair. It* was so constructad as to kill the child and injure the mother very little. Dr. Moss and the State University. Richmond Palladium. Dr. Moss and the trustees of the State Uni versity have never been in more perfect ac cord, in all matters pertaining to tne Univer sity and its interests and management, than at the present time.

That noble philanthropist, George W. Childs, has purchased the Germantown (Pa.) Telegraph and has presented it to a son of the late Henry J. Raymond, founder of the New York Times.

Two Applications of the Argument. Bloomington (111.; Leader. The Indianapolis saloon keepers threaten to defeat the Democratic party at the polls if it does not permit them to keep their dens open all night. With Democratic official that is an argument worth considering, but with the average decent citizen it constitute? a first-rate argument why Democrats should be sent to the rear in political contests. The liquor men begin to think that they own the Democratic party in Indiana, just as they do in Illinois. Big Money for D. W. V. Philadelphia Press. D. Webster Yoorhees intimated that tho Democrats in Congress next winter will op pose the civil service commission and refuse to appropriate the money necessary to con tinue its work.

STATE EXCHANGE TABLE. Hie Topics Upon Which the County Press Have Opinions to Offer. Indiana Not a Free-Trade State—Denuncia tion of Speculation—President Arthur’s Administration Warmly Indorsed. The Republican Candidate of 1884. Lafayette Journal. The Republican candidate must be a man of great personal popularity, of large expe rience in the public service, in whose per sonal and official honesty the people have unbounded contidence, who has never been connected with the sectional and factional strifes that have in the past afflicted the par ty, who is capable of taking an unbiased ju dicial view of public questions. He must be a man whose consistent record on the tariff and constitutional questions inspires confi dence, of ripe experience, and who can se cure the support of the independent element of the Republican party. It should not be left out of view that this element is only with the Republican party when the candi date suits them, and not with it when their preferences are to the contrary. The candi date must be a sincere and honest civil-serv ice reformer. He must be a man of the peo ple and with the people—acceptable to the political free-thinkers who resent what has been popularly termed “bossisin.” Generals Harrison and Gresham. Wabanh Courier (D®iu.). In the event that Indiana, up to the be ginning of the next campaign, continues to be regarded as a pivotal State, she will no doubt furnish the Republican candidate for President. There are two Republican citi zens of this Commonwealth, either of whom might reasonably be put forward for the position—General Gresham or General Har rison. To neither of them, so far as the Courier knows, the shadow of a suspicion has ever attached. General Gresham is a warm hearted, impulsive man, strong in his likes, reasonable in his dislikes, and numbers among his personal friends the most illus trious names in the country. General Har rison, whose name is historic, is distinguished in the most learned of the learned profes sions, and has carried acknowledged states manship to Washington and well-acquitted himseli in the United States Senate. Parties and the State Charities. Hendricks County Republican. The political party which labors under the management of a combination of men and adopts a code of principles antagonistic to the careful, prudent and humane manage ment of our asylums for the deaf, dumb, blind and insane, and makes the manage ment of those institutions a stench in the nostrils of the people, is a party without a just claim upon the good will or sufferance of the people, and should be so informed in a forcible and tangible way. A political party if good for nothing if not good to administer the affairs of the State in an honest and eco nomic way. It should be made to feel that it is responsible to the people for all negli gence of duty and absence of interest in the various and extensive affairs of the people over which it is called upon to preside. Honesty and Virtue Better in the Long Run. Lafayette Journal. That sterling honesty and virtue which can resist all temptation to do even an ap parent wrong will in the long run he success ful. The sad examples of so many who have fallen by the wayside—victims to the gam bling mania—should admonish those who have trusts confided to them to be faithful in the discharge of their duties; and the miserable sharpers who lure their hundreds and thousands of victims to destruction should be made to feel the iron hand of the law and such a pressure of public sentiment that they would be compelled to close their robber dens. They are doing more to debase public and private morals than all the other causes com Dined. All the moral forces of the people should unite to crush out this specularive mania. The Effects of Free Trade. Warren Republican. Free trade re-established here would lower the dignityjandself respect of every American citizen. Our independence and position among the nations of the world would suf fer. English labor would derive great ad vantages at the expense of American in dustry, and from the prosperous times of the present would fall to inertness, financial depression, multiplied strikes and loss of power. Foreign manufacturers would con trol our prices and exclude from the markets of the world our productions. Cheaper prices would prevail until our manufacturers were driven to bankruptcy or their capital had found other avenues, when we would find prices advanced even beyond the prices f to-day with protection. The Question of Sunday Rest. Richmond Palladium. The laboring Community are deeply inter ested in this question, as the rest and recu peration of Sunday is vital to their endur ance and ability to live respectably and lay up a support for old age. Nor is this a ques tion of puritanism, for in order to pay a de cent respect to the day, it is not necessary to forego all enjoyment. It is only the perform ance of unnecessary labor and indulgence in idle amusements that constitute the great evil of the day, which threatens to under mine our institutions ultimately if not aban doned. This awakening of the public con science has not come too soon, and it bids fair to result in effectual measures for the proper observance of the Sabbath. President Arthur. Bluffton Chronicle. We suppose it is useless to say, what everybody knows, that President Arthur’s administration is coming to the front as one of the best we have ever had. Entering on his official duties under very unfavorable circumstances, he has steadily been gaining the confidence of the ueople, until now all feel as if our country is in safe hands, and the Republicans did a wise thing in select ing him as a possible contingent in case of the President’s death, and, although it is gen erally understood that Mr. Arthur desires to retire to private life when his term expires, yet we would not be the least surprised if the people should call him to the responsible trust for another term. liidiaoians Should Not Play Second Fiddle. Richmond Palladium. There is no occasion for Tndianians, espec ially Republicans, to look outside of their own Slate for a presidential candidate, and ali such talk only weakens the chances of our own men. Indiana ought to lead the ticket next year, and there is no good reason why this may not be done, unless we foolishly subordinate oureelves to other States. In diana is a pivotal and very important State in a political sense, and has been for many years. She ought not to be continually playing second fiddle” to other sections. The Old Ticket iu the Field. Indianapolis Republican. Notwithstanding all denials, Tilden and Hendricks are likely Presidential possibili ties, and as sleek a team of political organ izers as can be found. For acuteness, cun ning, and skill in light and heavy balanc ing upon the slack wire of political opinion, commend us to these long-headed and ex perienced politicians. Mr. Voorliees’s Splendid Interview, Iniiianapolia Saturday Herald. Senator Voorhees has been talking with a Journal reporter on politics and material In diana. He is a protective Democrat and does Rot have much tolerance for the doctrine of “a tariff for revenue only.” In this interview the Senator placed Indiana in a large shape showing that she had the physical forces within her boarders to make one of the wealthiest and most powerful States in the Union. Senator Voorhees has seldom done better thinking or better talking than in his late interview. The Insane at the Mercy of Rummers. Alonticello Herald. It would seem that political chicanery ought to stop short of the point where the comfort of helpless human beings is involved, but Democratic legislation contemplates no limit to the fight for spoils, and the result in this instance is that 1.500 unfortunates of this State are now placed at the mercy of po litical scavengers, bummers and vote-buyers. The people of the State ought not to rest until such legislation is remedied and the authors of it rebuked. A Proper Subject of Discussion. North Manchester Journal. The subject that most interests the people Is what policy will most surely and fully de velop the resources and material interests of all, is the subject to discuss. An intelligent discussion of governmental policy, with a view to the best interests of all, will be more productive of good than talking up the chances of the election of this man or that hero to the presidency. The booms started now will receive inan3 r a counter-blast before the election in 1884. The Material and the Moral Outlook. Terro Haute Express. Looking at the material improvement of the present, we are filled with hope for the future; looking at the moral condition of rfhe present, we are filled with despondency, tinder the very shadow of our schools and churches, “vice, ignorance and misery are producing a race of Huns fiercer than those who marched under Attila, and Vandals more bent on destruction than those who followed Genseric." A Local Option Amendment. Richmond Palladium. Local option is not admissible under our constitution, but in case a vote should be taken on prohibition and decided in the negative, would it not be advisable to so amend the constitution as to authorize the local option principle, so that liquor could be sold or not, or its sale restricted, in any community, according to the decision of a majority of the voters, annually or biennial ly expressed? Remedy for Miscarriage of Justice. Valparaiso Vidette. The proper remedy must be to make the law itself provide against one person injur ing another in his person, character or prop erty. and then provide for courts to be in readiness and authorized to give prompt remedies without obstruction from a single disagreeing juror or a reasonable doubt against convincing evidence, as also with no great delay by change of venue or continu ance. Doing a Great Service for the Party. Andrews Express. Pink Fishbaek and the Indianapolis News are doing the Republican party great service by their efforts to induce the Democratic party to become a free-trade organization. If they only succeed in their efforts Indiana Republicans will owe them a debt of grati tude which can only be repaid by the erec tion of a monument. The Enforcement of Law. Lafayette Journal. Every violation of the law, whether it be by a public officer or a private individual, should be visited by the penalty prescribed for it, and none should be so high that the law cannot reach them, nor so low that it will not protect them. The Law and Leisure. Logansport Pharos. Everybody should obey the law, but every body should be allowed the privilege of spending their liesure hours as they see fit, if their action conforms to law and no one else is molested in liis liberty and the pur suit of happiness. The Duty of ludiana Republicans. Frankfort Banner. Indiana Republicans should effect a per manent orgnaization in every school dis trict, and put the IToosier State in the Re publican column by a decided majority. Indiaua Not for Free Trade. Frankfort Banner. Indiana is not, neither will it become, a free-trade State. Indiana manufacturers and mechanics are in favor of protection. This is a self-evident fact. Mysterious Disappearance Explained. Cleveland, 0., June 24. —The body of Charles T. Goodwin, the missing cashier of the Lake Shore freight house here, was found to-day in the lake near the breakwater, but no letter or writing explaining his motive for suicide. Notwithstanding the denial of his friends, it proves that he is a defaulterer for nearly $7,000, and on the day of his dis appearance negotiated at the bank a joint note with Isaac Reynolds for $2,500. As deceased was a man of cor rect and economical habits, the reports that he lost considerable in speculation find credence, though it is de veloped that he had a credit balace of about $3,000 at one broker’s office. The theory of mental derangement is fortified by the fact that he had property, much more than would meet all liabilites yet known, and that a year ago his health failed and he was compelled to relinquish work for several months. He returned greatly improved, but lately mani fested symptoms of serious brain troubles. Tim Court Was Left to Decide. Translated from the Paris Voltaire. A woman was brought before the court on on a charge of theft. The Magistrate—Madame, are you married? The Lady (after a slight hesitation)—Yes, sir. A voice (in the audience) —No! Magistrate—Yes!—No* Those two words cannot be reconciled. Her lawyer (rising)—Madame throws the decision upon the opinion of the court! Knocking; at the Wrong Door. Toronto Globe. At the Terrace baths last Sunday, an im patient young man walked up to the door of one of the compartments, and knocking on the same, testily inquired; “When in blazes are you going to get those pants on?” There was a faint giggle, and a silvery voice re plied: “When I get married, I suppose.” He had mistaken the door, that’s ail. Hard Times* for the Editor. Philadelphia Record. This is the season when the political editor hates himself. He doesn’t know whether it i9 best to stick to the powers that be or to strike out for the powers which he supposes will be. To while away the time he invents inven tions for which he files no caveat, and edits college commencements, and gnaws the bone of discontent. Reforming the Billposters. Atlanta Constitution. Rev. Joseph Cook, having frightened the drummers away from rare beef, Tulmage has concluded to attack the billposters. He maintains that when they paste up comic opera pictures they should make the girls keep their feet down. We have often ob served the recklessness of billposters in this matter. _______________ Frank Williams, Indianapolis, says: “One bottle of Brown's Iron Bitters cured me of dys pepsia.” THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, JUNE 25, ISS3.

THE PULLMAN REGATTA. Teenier, a Boy of Eighteen, Lowers Court ney’s Best Record. Chicago, June 23. —The sculling regatta on Lake Calumet, at the village of Pullman, this afternoon, developed a surprise and prodigj’ in the person of young Teenier, the McKeesport oarsman, hitherto unknown, but who displayed his mettle by winning a piace in the final struggle yesterday, but who failed to keep up with either Hanlan, lios mer or Hamm, owing, as it is now claimed, to his inexperience in rowing in rough water. To-day, in what bus been termed the “conso latiou race,” open to all but the three lead ers of the day precedent, he covered three miles in twenty minutes and fourteen sec onds, thus lowering Courtney’s best record of twenty minutes snd fourteen and one-half seconds, and upon which his reputation has been built. The conditions were perfect for fast time. The sky was overcast and the lake was placid, and there was everything to encourage the contestants to show at their best. Five thousand people were ou the grounds. The seven men were ready when the word was given at 4:07 o’clock, and went off to gether, having been placed as follows: Mc- Kay, Lee, Gaudaur, Elliott, Parkes, Riley, Teemer and Plaisted. Gaudaur showed to the front early, Riley second, Elliott third, the latter pulling a stroke of thirty-six to the minute. At the half-mile buoy Riley and Gaudaur were abreast, both leading Teemer and Lee a length. Teemer then drew up and passed Elliott, who dropped out of the race. Lee then forged ahead and turned the mile and a half buoy in 9:13, Gaudaur second, with Teemer, Riley, McKay and Plaisted in the order named. At the mile and three fourths buoy Lee makes the claim that Gau daur fouled him. and from that on his chance for first place was gone. Gaudaur pushed ahead and passed the two-mile buoy in 2:03, leading Lee one-half length, McKay in close proximity, with Teemer oil his quarter, Parker and Plaisted well in the rear. Lee stopped rowing soon after passing the two mile buoy. Teemer all this while was row ing in fine form, and passing McKay, pulled for Gaudaur with a stroke of thirty-two to the minute. At the two-and-a-half-mile buoy Teemer went to the front and held it to the finish, Gaudaur coming in second, two sec onds later in time, with McKay, Riley, Par ker and Plaisted following in the order nffhied. McKay and Riley being well up to the leaders. Time was kept by two official timekeepers, and this was found to tally with four other stop-watches held on the judges’ boat. The double scull race was called at 5:20, with five entries, as follows, and in the older given: Hanlan and Lee, Plaisted and Parker, Hosmerand McKay, Gaudaur and Kennedy, Weisgerber and Clayton. The story of the race is easily told. Hanlan and Lee led off at a forty stroke, and were pushed for one mile by Hosraer and McKay, Weisgerber and Clayton keeping well up, and Pluisted and Parker dropping back early. Hanlan arid Lee passed the mile-and-a-balf buoy in eight minutes and two seconds, McKay and Hosmer_ second, Gaudaur and Kennedy third, Weisgerber and Clayton fourth, and Plaisted and Parker fifth. After starting for home Hanlan and Lee increased their lead materially, and before passing the two mile buoy ceased rowing for fully ten sec onds. They started again, leading by six lengths and pulled strong to the finish, in creasing the gap momentarily, and crossed the line in nineteen minutes and thirty-nine seconds, Hosmer and McKay coming in six seconds later, Weisgerber and Clayton nine seconds after them, Gaudaur and Kennedy fourth, and Plaisted and Parker fifth.* THE TURF; Opening Day of the Chicago Driving Park Association.
