GEN. DAN MACAULEY DEAD.

Passed Away at Managua, Xicaraugua, Last Friday—A Gentleman Well Known In Thin City.

Gen. Dan Macauley, a gentleman well known in this city, died at Managua, Nicaraugua, last Friday, where he was engaged as Agent for the Canal Company. He was well known in this city especially'by the members of the Eleventh Indiana Regiment, in which organization he served through the war, serving first as First Sergeant of Co. E., then First Lieutenant, Adjutant of the regiment, Major, Lieutenant Colonel, and Colonel, and was twice breveted Brigadier General. He took all a soldier's pride in his gallant regiment, which—to quote his own words—"was never beaten either at work, play, march, drill or fight." After the war he served three terms as Mayor of Indianapolis. During the Harrison Administration he served as appointment clerk of the Treasury Department and was transferred to the immigration bureau by Secretary Carlisle, from which position he resigned to engage with the Nicaragua Company. He was a man of commanding presence and was universally popular. Every old soldier looked upon him not only as a comrade but as a personal friend. He was one of the best of story-tellers and an orator of great natural abilities, including a wit that was most captivating.

Business Insurance. i,

An advertisement won't work miracles, it won't sell ice in Greenland, nor snow shoes at the equator. It will sell overcoats in July if they are cheap enough, but a seasonable ad of seasonable stuff is always best.

Dull season advertising must be considered in two ways. As advertising and as insurance—insurance of business—insurance against loss of trade.

Such insurance should be placed on on the same business principles that dictate the placing of life and fire insurance. Pick out the strongest companies—the best papers.

Business insurance—advertising—is better than the other kinds. They re pay the losses caused by misfortune. Advertising prevents the misfortune.

A True Contrast.

A newspaper has 5,000 readers to 1,000 subscribers hand bills get possibly 200 or 500 people to read them— that is if the boy who is trusted to deliver them does not chuck them under the sidewalk. The hand bills cost as much as a half-column advertisement in a home newspaper. All the women and girls and boys read advertisements. Result—the merchant who uses the newspaper advertising has 3.500 more readers to each 1,000 of its papers readers. There is no estimating the amount of business that advertising does bri'.g to the merchant, but each dollar invested in advertising brings to the investor from §10 to §5 worth of business, there can be no doubt.

Entered a Flea of Guilty.

Olla Layne, who had a light with Stalla Hackney over a young man, and who refused to plead guilty Monday morning, finally changed her mind and entered a plea of guilty. She was fined. She seems to be glad that it cost her 90 cents less than the other girl.

Packed Up and Departed.

The "Railroad Wreck" clothing house has gone from us. Last Monday the stock was placed upon two drays and taken to the Big Four depot for shipment to Cincinnati. The strikers will probably get the goods before they reach their destination.

A Lost Pocketbook.

Ernest Alden, of Terre Haute, lost a pocketbook containing 8151, at the Shades Sunday. It was found by Miss May Myers, of Crawfordsville, who returned it and generously refused the offer of $25 reward which the grateful Alden urged upon her.

Tribe of Ben-Hur.

Simonides Court, Tribe of Ben-Hur, held an interesting meeting Monday Five persons were taken in—James Israel and wife, Murray Hills and wife and Charley VanCleave. Another meeting will be held in two weeks.

Wingate and No. 13 scribes are correct in regard to writing letters that should be pure and free from all personal reflections, but did all the old correspondents write sUch letters in the past? Not at all. We find that it is some of them now would like to have their say, but the thought never occurred to them once that they should have written as they would have others write, did it?

INDICTED.

Federal Grand Jury Returns Trua Bills Against Debs and Others.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY

Debs, Howard, Keleher, Rogers and Murwin Held In $10,000 Each.

THEY ARE ABLE TO GIVE BOND.

All the Prisoners Except Howard Take

Their Arrest Calmly—Great Excitement Caused In California by the President's Proclamation—Strikers Arming at Sacramento to Prevent the Opening of the Blockade on the Southern Pacific—Between 5,000 and 6,000 Knights of Labor at Omaha and Vicinity Go Out In Obedience to Sovereign's Orders—Freight Tie-Up at Cleveland—Strike News From Many Other Points.

CHICAGO, July 11.—The federal grand jury after receiving the instructions of United States Judge Grosscup yesterday afternoon returned indictments against Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Railway union, George W. Howard its vice president, Sylvester Keleher, secretary and L. W. Rogers, one of its directors, and shortly thereafter the four men were arrested. They are charged with conspiracy to commit an unlawful act—that is, to block the progress of the United States mails. Joined in the indictment with the four leaders of the railway union was James Murwin, the Rock Island striker who threw the switch which derailed a mail train at Rock Island on the night of June 20. Debs, Howard, Keleher and Rogers were taken into the office of District Attorney Milchrist immediately after their arrest, and after a few hours detention were released on bail by Judge Grosscup, their bonds being $10,000 each.

Based on Debs' Utterances.

The federal grand jury spent but little time on the case of Debs and the other leaders of the strike. The case against them for conspiracy had been prepared some days ago by Attorneys Milchrist and Walker, and the grand jurors had been at work two hours when the indictment was ready to be presented in court. It was based on some of the public utterances of Debs and the other leaders and this was clinched by the original orders in writing sent out by Debs directing men on different railways to quit their work and this stopped the running of mail trains. A large number of telegrams sent by Debs from his headquarters giving directions which extended the blockade of trains were submitted to the grand jury by F. M. Mulford, manager of the Western Union Telegraph company, under a subpena issued by tne United States court. Judge Grosscup overruled the telegraph company's protest that the messages were privileged documents and exempt from seizure.

Debs Brought In.

Mr. Mulford had left the grand jury room but a few minutes when the jury filed out and walked into Judge Grosscup's court. Foreman Sanborn handed to the court the indictment, which was at once taken to the office of the district attorney. Marshal Arnold and a deputy were sent out with warrants. Shortly before 5 o'clock Marshal Arnold returned with President Debs as a prisoner, Debs was taken into Mr. Milchrist's private office. He was accompanied by Theodore Debs, his brother. There were in the office when the head of the American Railway union arrived as a prisoner Edward Walker and Mr. Milchrist and these were soon joined by Judge Grosscup, who had been sent for to take bail. Debs sent his brother out to look for bondsmen, and while waiting for his friends to appear sat with the judge, the two attorneys for the government and the marshal who had arrested him, while the door of the office was locked to all comers.

Howard Shows Anger.

It was not long until Deputy Logan appeared with Keleher, the secretary. In a short time Theodore Debs returned with Attorney L. R. Bisbee, who had been retained to defend the prisoners. At 6 o'clock Deputy Logan appeared with Rogers and Vice President Howard. The latter was the only one of the four whose face bore traces of anger or resentment as he was taken into the back room. The others took their arrest calmly. It was after 7:30 o'clock that Clerk Burnham appeared and the bail bond was legally accepted. The bondsmen are Alderman William Fitzgerald, who qualified to the sum of $250,000, and William Skakel, who qualified at $50,00 the bonds being in the sum of $10,000 each. It was some time later when the formality of signing was completed and the indicted ones left the building in company with their bondsmen.

Takes His Arrest Calmly.

Marshal Arnold found Debs in his apartments at the Leland, when he took him into custody. The strike leader was sitting in an outer room which he used as an office when the marshal appeared and there were several persons with him. When the marshal introduced himself Debs stepped back into an inner room asking the marshal to go with him and then the marshal showed his warrant. "I am ready to go with you," said Debs, with apparent cheerfulness, as he walked into the outer room, and reached for his hat and walkingstick. "I have been indicted and arrested," he said to those who were in his office, and without any further remark he hurried away with the marshal. The indictment against Debs, Keleher, Howard, and Murwin is founded on sections 5,508, 5509 and 5336 of the federal statute.

Attempt on Wickes' Life.

An attempt was made Monday afternoon by a man whose name the police will not divulge to kill Vice President Wickes of the Pullman company with an infernal machine. The man entered the building carrying a small bundle under his arm. He asked to see Mr. .Wickes and was conducted to his office

where the special officers who guard the building quietly took his bundle away. It was found to be a glass bottle with a fuse attached and filled with cartridges, iron scraps and a substance unknown to the officers.' The bottle was confiscated and the man taken out of the building. Yesterday an analysis of the substance in the bottle was made and it was found to be a dangerous explosive, which would explode with great violence upon the application of a gentle heat.

Mr. Sovereign of the Knights of Labor iaid last evening: "I think that the refusal of the Pullman company to consider the-proposition made by a committee of laboring men and aldermen was a dis'ilav of iirrntrancfl An anneal was made to the company to have the trouble investigated to see if there was anything to arbitrate. Even this liberal proposition was not considered. I think the position of the laboring man is stronger than ever."

STRIKERS ARMING.

They Say the Southern Pacific Will Not Be Allowed to Move Trains. SAN FRANCISCO, July 11.—The publica­

tion of President Cleveland's proclamation has caused intense excitement in Sacramento, but when it became positively known that Colonel Graham and his soldiers to the number of 300 were already en route to reinforce the state troops at the capital the excitement there became intense. The strikers grew louder in their threats to resist any further attempt to clear the railroad yards and depot and their leaders loudly proclaimed that the Southern Pacific company would not be permitted to move its trains. Nor were the hostile demonstrations confined to talk alone. Armed men soon appeared in the streets. As if in preparation for battle they transferred their arms and ammunition from their storehouse on street to their headquarters nearest the railroad yards. No attempt at concealment was made. The strikers marched boldly through the streets bearing the weapons on their shoulders and they were loudly cheered by hordes of sympathizers. It is claimed that the American Railway union arsenal holds at lekst 1,600 rifles and shotguns and quantities of ammunition.

Bomb Found on the Track. LIBERTY, Ind., July 11.—A large dyna­

mite bomb was found on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad track here by the crew of the midnight freight. The fuse had burned within an inch of the bomb when discovered. It is supposed that the bomb was placed on the night passenger train from Cincinnati to Chicago and fell off here. The road carries Pullman sleepers and it is thought that the bomb was placed on board by strikers.

Will Return to Work.

CLEVELAND, July 11.—The first violence in Cleveland occurred yesterday when a crowd of strikers forced a switching crew in the Erie yards to quit work. Some of the men were hustled about in a lively way. but on one was hurt. The railroad officials feel encouraged over the fact that the firemen on the Cleveland division of the Big Four have announced their readiness to return to work.

To Use Negroes.

MEMPHIS. July 11. Firebugs last night applied the torch to the residence of Engineer Mills, an Iron Mountain employe who refused to join the strike. All of the railroads affected by the strike at Memphis have decided to substitute negroes for white labor and last night all trains were made up by colored'men under a heavy guard of deputy marshals.

Declared to Be Homicide,

DANVILLE, Ills., July 11.—The coroners jury in the case of Miss Clara James and Mrs. Mary Glenon, the two women killed near Grape Creek in the skirmish between miners and militia, returned a verdict declaring it to be a clear case of unjustifiable homicide and recommended that legal action be taken to bring the offenders to justice.

Will Stand by the Road.

NASHVILLE, July 11.—The day passed quietly, all passenger trains running. Several freights went out and came in. More men went out yesterday but their places were easily supplied. A meeting of Louisville and Nashville engineers and conductors was held last night and it was agreed to stand by the road and not strike.

Threat of a General Strike. NEW ORLEANS, July 11.—AU but one

switchmen on the Queen and Crescent have gone out. The labor committee has been granted an interview with the mercantile bodies. The labor bodies propose to hold out the threat of a general strike in order to secure the release of the imprisoned agitators.

Will Disregard the Order. KANSAS CITY, July 11.—A high officer

of the Industrial council said last night that the order from Debs to the men on the Missouri Pacific to go out would be disregarded because the men felt that the strike at Chicago had no particular bearing on them.

Growing Serious.

MERIDIAN. Miss., July 11.—The strike here is growing serious. Leading citizens telegraphed Governor Stone asking him to come to Meridian ,at once. The governor answered that he would come on the first train. No trains are moving and the blockade i3 complete.

Bridge Burned.

ELLENSBURG, Wash., July 11.—One span of the Northern Pacific bridge across the Yakima river, 70 miles north of here, has been burned. No particulars are obtainable. Everything is quiet here.

All Trains Moving.

DALLAS, July 11.—All trains are moving on time and no further trouble is expected. The Santa Fe shopmen at Gainesville, Tex., went out on an order from President Debs.

Passengers on Time.

FRANKFORT, Ind., July 11.—The Cloverleaf passenger trains are all running on time and four freight trains left the yards yesterday.

Three Tiiousand Laid Off.

CINCINNATI, July n.—Like a thunderclap came an order from C. E. Schaff of the Big Four last night discharging from the entire Big Four system fully 3,000

employes. The reason assigned is the blockade of trains and the paralysis of business. The men affected are assured that they will be restored the moment a revival of business justifies. This does not affect men engaged in running trains and it does not immediately involve the reduction of trains. It is a curtailment of expenses.

COMPLETE TIE-UP.

No Freights In or Out of Toledo—Men Driven From Work. TOLEDO. O., July 11.—The second day

of the strike has resulted in a complete tie-up of every road in the city so far as freight traffc is concerned. The last to come out were the men in the Pennsylvania yards and they stated to their superintendent that they feared bodily harm if they continued. Protection was offered, but the men said that the company could not protect them when going to and from work. The men in the Ohio Central yards were driven out by a committee and a small mob. Aside from these disturbances nothing of moment has happened.

K. OF lu OUT AT OMAHA.

orders from General Master Workman Sovereign District Master Cohen this morning cai.ua u.u .noincurs ol the Knights of Labor in Omaha. South Omaha and Lincoln. Between 5,000 and 6,000 men are out.

Another Injnnction.

SPRINGFIELD, Ills., July 11.— Judge Allen in the United States circuit court yesterday issued an omnibus injunction against Eugene V. Debs and other officers of the American Railway union to restrain tlie men from interfering with the movement of trains on the Terre Haute and Indianapolis railroad or destroying the property of the road. Trouble has been reported at Mount Vernon and other points on this road.

KILLED A TRAMP.

Dog Protects His Mistress From an Assault by Two Villains. HENDERSON, Ky., July 11.—Mrs. Al­

den, a young widow of Herman, accompanied by her little 6-year-old daughter and a mastiff, while gathering blackberries near that town, was roughly accosted and assaulted by two tramps. The dog sprang upon one of the miscreants, seized him by The throat and bore him to the earth, where he throttled him to death. The accomplice took to his heels, but was soon overtaken by the noble canine, and was only saved from death by the calls of his mistress, who was induced to permit the rascal to escape. The coroner was notified, and took charge of the mastiff's victim.

HEROIC DEATH.

Italian Boy While Saving His Sister's Liife Loses His Own. SAN ANTONIO, Tex., July 11.—A 13-

year-old Italian boy named Fastunato Ravanilli met with a heroic death. He was standing near the track of the San Antonio and Aransas Pass railway when he saw a passenger train approaching, at the same time observing his 3-year-old sister on the track. He saw the baby's danger and ran to save its life. He accomplished his purpose, but died in the act. He had just time to throw the child off when the engine struck him. The body of the boy was badly mutilated.

FATAL COLLAPSE.

Wharf Goes Down, Burying a Number of Workmen. BOSTON, July 11.—Whilealargecrowd

of workmen were unloading the schooner Jennie Hall at Commercial wharf yesterday the wharf collapsed and a number were buried in tne ruins. Three men wero taken out badly injured. Two are dead and four more are said to be buried under the wreckage. The weight of a large quantity of coal on the dock caused the accident.

•Santo Drew the Lot.

LYONS, July 11.—Before the magistrate yesterday a soldier named Le Blanc declared, in the presence of Cesario, the mnrderer of President Carnot, that Cesario had chosen lots in a cafe at Cette nd had received the slip which assigned him to the work of murdering the president. The witness said he had not believed that Cesario would so soon be summoned to execute the nefarious decree. Cesario said: "This individual wishes to make a laughing stock of me. I acted alone. It is not true that I had accomplices." a

Almost Certain to Hang.

CHICAGO, July 11.—At 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon Judge Bailey of the Illinois supreme court announced that he would refuse to issue a supersedeas in the case of Prendergast, the assassin of Mayor Harrison. This apparently makes certain the hanging of Prendergast on July 13. About the only hope for Prendergast is interference by Governor Altgeld.

Killed Her Baby.

ANNISTON. Ala., July 11.—Kitty Wills, a woman who lives at East Aboga. killed her 2-weeks'-old infant by cutting its throat. A neighbor who went to see her missed the baby, and when the Wills woman failed to satisfactorily account for its disappearance a search was instituted. It was found beneath the house, with its throat cut.
