GEN. LEW WALLACE'S VIEWS.

Ho Favors the Arbitration Treaty With Certain Amendments—Ills 1'luiiH For 1898.

A special from Washington says: "Gen. Lew Wallace has been resting at the Ebbitt since yesterday. He came to Washington to Bee books in the congressional library, but paid a visit to the Capitol to-day to consult Indiana Representatives as to the advisability of personally urging Speaker Reed to give a day for the consideration of the Indianapolis postoffice bill in which he is deeply interested. When asked his opinion on the arbitration treaty recently submitted to the Senate he said: 'It is the greatest treaty ever proposed. I am strongly in favor of the general principle of arbitration, but if I were in the Senate I would insist on certain modifications. I would have the treaty specify in plain language that the Nicaraguan canal and the Monros doctrine should not be made the subjects of arbitration. Our rights there are too clear to admit ot doubt.' General Wallace showed a'distrust of Great Britain on the subject of treaties. The ClaytonBulwer» treaty, he said, the United States had always honorably observed from the dav it was promulgated, while Great Britain has repeatedly and persistently violated it. Great Britain he thought, had always shown a disposition to disregard her treaty obligations and to bully and browbeat therefore thought the author of "Ben Hur,' the treaty ought to be explicit in its exception of matter from arbitrament. Gen. Wallace said he was making no concealment of his candidacy for United States Senator to succeed Turpie."

V"'- Were Impostors.

Letters received from the headquarters of the American Detective Agency at Indianapolis prove parties recently concerned in the Tomlinson barn burning case by furnishing information to the grand jury and claiming to be members of that agency were impostors. However, they by some unknown means procured the necessary badge and button of the agency. The A. D. A. is the largest independent detective agency in the world and has unraveled more deep mysteries than the Pinkertons. None but proper citizens are recognized among its members. BY LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES.

John Warn pier Married*

Wednesdayevening at the home of the bride's grandparents, Wm, Razor and wife of east Market street, occurred the marriage of John C. Wampler and Miss Mary B. Roberts, Rev. A. J. Alexander officiating.

The wedding was a very quiet one and was in the nature of a surprise, Mr. Wampler's most intimate friends not being aware of his intentions. Mr. and Mrs. Wampler left yesterday for a visit with his parents in Lincoln, Neb.

False Alarm,

Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock a firm alarm was turned in calling the department to the Opera House Block. It seems that the employes of the natural gas office were burning wood in one of the stoves and the smoke rising in a defective flue flooded out into an adjoining room. The smoke was discovered by occupants of the building ho turned in the alarm. The affair caused quite a little 6tir on the streets but the excitement was quickly allayed.

Tno Cigarette Question.

Wednesday in the Legislature the committee on rights and privileges was the only one that liad any reports to offer. It reported a substitute for Representative Reynolds' anti-cigar-ette bill, which makes it unlawful to sell cigarettes to minors. The report of the committee was concurred in in order that the bill might be printed, and the subject was made a special order for next Monday at 2 p. m.

Same 011 Story.

Harry Crawford, jr., generi .l manager of the Chicago & and Southeastern Railway, says the road has traffic enough if it bad the equipments to handle it. This is the same old story that Crawiord has been telling for years. It seems to be anything with the management of the road to keep from paying its honest debts.

Sun Dogs.

Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock two giant sun dogB with frost flecked jaws rushed ayant the eastern sky. In the

minQB

of the old stagers their appear­

ance clearly betokened the continuance of cold weather.

A New Summer Itesort.

It is stated that a company is l^eing organized to purchase the Wolf Creek Falls, the scene of the Clara Shanks murder, and convert the place into a summer resort similar to the one maintained at the Shades.

A FRAUD.

A Man Soliciting Oltl Clothes For Charity's Sake Ships the Duds to Terre Haute For His Own Benefit.

The Crawfordsville public is warned to be on the lookout for as mean a fraud as ever worked his game in this town. Since the intensely cold ather set in a man has been going from door to door over the .city begging old clothes, stating that he wished them for himself and family who are suffering for the want of proper garments. His story is backed by his shabby appuarance and it is seldom that lie has been turned away. He has collected great quantities of clothes of all sizes and conditions and has Bhipped the whole lot to Terre Haute, where it is taken by second hand dealers. So far the fellow's operations have been confined to the southwest quarter of town and he has done a land office business down there. People bhould look out for the fellow, aB he is a fraud of the purest ray serene. If the police come across him they will lock him up for a season.

A DOLLAR FOR MANDY.

The Woman Who Sued Editor McKco Gets Nominal Damages at tho Ilands or a Jury.

The libel case of Mandy Roberts against Ben F. McKey, of the Lebanon Pioneer, came to a close in the circuit court yesterday. The case was given to the jury Wednesday arfternoon about 4 o'clock and that body retired to deliberate. It deliberated until 6 o'clock next morning when a compromise was effected and the verdict sealed to await the opening of court. When court convened the verdict was opened and read. It was in favor of the plaintiff and gave her damages in the sum of SI.

On the first ballot the vote stood eight forlhe defendant and four for the plaintiff. It was clear the jury favored Mr. McKee but nevertheless the fact was impressed on several of them that he was technically guilty. It took a long time to convince the others of this fact but finally it was agreed that a verdict for nominal damages would put a stop to the litigation. No juryman favored the awarding of anything except a nominal damage.

The case can hardly be regarded as satisfactory to any one of the interested parties. Miss Roberts sued for character and she got it. It is to be doubted whether she gained in any way by the suit so profitless from a financial standpoint. Very few persons, perhaps, could find camfort in the verdict.

Klein-Johnson.

Indianapolis Journal: The mrffriage of Miss Alice Maude Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O, A. Johnson, and Mr. Armstead Mason Klein, of Muncie, took place yeBterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, at the family residence, 179 east St. Clair street. Only the relatives and nearest friends were present for the ceremony, which was performed by Rev. T. I. Coultas, of Roberts Park church. The bride and groom were unattended. Miss Johnson wore a handsome traveling gown of broadcloth and carried American Beauty roses. The wedding march from Lohengrin was played by Mrs. Stossmeister, of Cicero, and during the ceremony "O Thou Sublime Sweet Evening Star" was softly given. The rooms were daintily decorated with vases of variegated carnations, and draped with stnilax. Following tho ceremony a dinner was served and Mr. and Mrs. Klein left laBt evening for ther home in Muncie, where they will reside, at 410 south Council street. Among the guests at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Klein, of Muncie Miss May Klein and Mr. Harry Klein, of Crawfordsville.

DeHart, of Lafayette, will be the principal orator and Senator Fairbanks, Congressman Landis, Governor Mount and all the State officers are expected to be present.

THE CIGARETTE LOBBY.

Tiie Manufacturers of the Deadly and Disgusting Nuisance See the Handwriting on the Wall and Make

Strategic Move.

The cigarette lobby has been one of the features of the Legislature up to date. The cigarette trust or the American Tobacco Company, has had an exSenator looking after its interests and opposing legislation meant to prohibit the manufacture and sale of cigarettes. The trust, however, haB favored a measure to prohibit the sale of cigarettes and tobacco to minors on the theory that the agitation against cigarettes arises from the deleterious influence on boys, and it had better give up this branch of its business altogether than to give up wholly the manufacture of cigarettes. It lias succeeded in the federal courts in overthrowing laws of various States prohibiting the manufacture and sale on the grounds that it interferes with interstate commerce, but it fears that if the agitation is continued there will finally be legislation by Congress enabling the State to enact prohibitory legislation. The other side of the question has been presented with great persistency by a committee of women from the W. C. T. U., who have during the p.at two weekB practically taken possession of the postoffice room of the House and made life a burden to the memberB by calling them out every few minutes and pleading with them upon the subject of cigarette legislation. At first they fought for legislation wholly prohibitoiy, but finally came to the conclusion that it would be ineffective, and devoted their energies to having the bill amended so as to make it apply to all minors instead of merely those under eighteen year6 and so as to make the imprisonment clause mandatory. They are opposed to a license bill. As tho trust people first consented to the bill it Bimply prohibited the Bale of tabacco to minors under eighteen and the imprisonment clause was discretionary. If the women and the trust continue to agree upon the bill introduced Wednesday, it Beems likely that will go through without much question.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS CASE.

The Supremo Court Reverses the Decision of the Lower Court,

Special to The Journal. INDIANAPOLIS,Jan. 28.—A long standing case that has created Bharp dissension in the Pythian order was decided in part in the Supreme Court this afternoon. The case of Koerner Lodge, composed of Germans, against the Grand Lodge was reversed. The court held that so long as there are nine faithful members of a Knights of Pythias lodge it cannot voluntarily dissolve. No question as to authority of Grand Lodge to revoke charter was considered.
