— Exciting Scrfntw in an Indianapolis Law Office. — ■ ’•.« * TWO MEN HIT BY BULLETS. William Copeland HhooU on Sight at Hlr Brother-in-law, With Whom He I* Involved In a Content for Property—Attorney A. C. HarrU Shot In the Arm. Neither Seriously Hurt—State New*. Indianapolis, April 18.—Indianapolis was dreadfully excited yesterday afternoon over first reports of a shooting which occurred in the law office of Miller, Winter & Elam, on East Market street, in which Attorney A. C. Htrris and William H. Bruning of New York were injured by the random firing of William M. Copeland of Madiaon, lud. First rep irts said each was fatally injured; investigation proved that neither was seriously wounded. Mr. Harris’ injury was to the left arm and Bruning was shot in the left cheek and in the arm. Five shots were fired, but all others were wide of the mark. Copeland, who is the brother-in-law of Bruning, has been involved with the latter in a contest for property of the senior Bruning, in which $50,000 is involved, and it was arranged that dejiositions should be taken today in the case. Yesterday, however, Miller. Winter & Elam sent word to Copeland’s attorney, A. C. Harris, that this would have to be de layed on some account. Copeland called on his attorney yesterday, and when this fact was suggested he appeared aggrieved. Mr. Harris then agreed to go with him to the office of Miller, Winter & Elam to see it the matter not be arranged. They entered together, and both disclaim knowledge that Bruning was present. He was. however, sitting in a chair in the corner of the office, and no sooner had he been noticed by Copeland than the latter pulled a revolver and began firing. Mr. Harris was injured in trying to Dre Vent a second shot. A desperate struggle then ensued between Mr. Winter, Miller and Harris in an attempt to overpower the now thoroughly infuriated man, and he was not subdued until Chief of Police Powell happened in. Copeland was locked up on a charge of murder, but this was afterward amended to shooting with intent to kill. Copeland claims that Bruning has attempted to defraud his wife of her interest in the father’s estate, and that in addition he has made efforts to alienate her from his affections. He hints at recent revelations by the wife, but does not make these exactly clear. Copeland served a term in the legislature from Madison. The elder Bruning had coffee and spice houses in New York and Evansville. Mr. Harris thought last night that his injuries might retire him from the bank case now on trial in the federal court. * Mrs. Copeland arrived here last evening and substantiates her husband’s story by telling that in early life her brother assaulted her and that she has been in mortal fear of him since. Her husband learned of this for the first time just before starting here. Bruning denies the story. NEVER SAW THE DRAFTS. Another Compnnjr’s Name Used In Hie Hanghry Case Without Warrant. Indianapolis, April 18.—Thomas L. Pierce, to whom the Coffins sold the Boston branch of the -Indianapolis Cabinet company at about the time of the Haughey bank collapse, detailed to the jury yesterday the method of purchase. He was at the time without means and was employed by the Coffins as a shipping clerk here at sls a week. The purchase was made with notes. Mr. F. W. Dickerman of the American Desk and Seating company of Cliicago also related business dealings with the firm. This company was frequently drawn on by the Indianapolis branch, but Dickerman said that the drafts were never presented and that his company at the time owed no such amounts. He also identified a letter from Frank A. Coffin in which it was stated that the.. bank was in hard lines and asking him if paper could not lie furnished by him to tide over the difficulty. He furnished $25,000 as a matter of accommodation, but subsequently got the paper back. The afternoon session did no business, adjourning to see what would be the developments in the injury to A. C. Harris, one of the attorneys for the defense, but the government is now ready to resume with Mr. Robinson, the bank teller. Prominent Woman’s Suicide. Richmond, Ind., April 18. —One of the saddest suicides imaginable occurred in this city and the victim of an act of insanity was Mrs. Baxter Cooper, one of the most prominent women in Wayne county. The lady had been ill for several weeks with nervous troubles, and during the past few days she gave signs of a slight mental derangement. While her husband and four children were at the supper table Mrs. Cooper sprang from the bed, and, taking a revolver from a buruea drawer, shot nerself twice through the- head. Death was almost instantaneous. Suicide Causes a Sensation. Anderson, Ind., April 18.—Yesterday Miss Theresa Graham, a well-known hair dresser, committed suicide in her rooms by taking arsenic. The cause of the act was not first understood, but it is now attributed to a lovers’ quarrel. 'lt is alleged that for the past 16 months Clem Sigler and Miss Graham had been close friends. Two weeks ago they quarreled. ’ Two Suicides From One Cause. Harrodsburg, Ky., April lA—Two formerly wealthy citizens suicided by shooting, owing to financial troubles. Thomas F. Alexander, a prominent stock dealer* was first. Patrick Best, married last month, was second. American Suicides In Paris. Paris, April 1 ‘.—Dr. Henry Shelley, 1 a prominent American dentist, committed suicide yesterday by shooting himself. He had recently suffered melancholy depression.

TBIFMPII Nervous Collapse Follows Iler Victory Over Breckinridge. SHE IS NOW IN A HOSPITAL Verdict, for Cin.OOO Has No I’alliatiUß En.'ct on tlio Strain Mho Ha* Endured. No Intention of Going on the Stage. Wouien** Compllinent to Jere Wilson. Congress Asked to Take Action. Washington, April 16.—Miss Madeline Pollard is the most talked of iierson in Washington. Since the outcome of her long breach of promise suit against Congressman Breckinridge, in which she won a verdict of SIS,(MM), as might have been expected with a woman of her temperament, the long strain of the trial culminated in a nervous collapse and now Miss Pollard is suffering from nervous prostration. She is at present in the Providence hospital, a Catholic institution in a quiet part of the city on Capitol Hill, where she is attended by the sisters of charity. The attending physicians do not anticipate any serious esr \ j ¥ Q"-"' „ MISS sects from her illness. Sister Ellis of the Episcopal House of Refuge, who was the constant attendant of Miss Pollard during the trial, and to Whom Judge Wilson paid a beautiful tribute in his plea, was her companion a part of Sunday. Her brother, J. D. Pollard of Lexington, Ky., was also with her. During the trial several communications came to Miss Pollard and to her lawyers from managers of’’theatrical and opera companies, offering high salaries if sfie would appear in almost any capacity under their auspices. Acting under the advice of her lawyers, she paid no attention to any of these communications. Both Miss Pollard and her attorneys state that she has never sought newspaper notoriety. Importuned by Theatrical Managers. Since the verdict was rendered the theatrical managers have redoubled their importunities, and several telegrams have come to Miss Pollard offering her astonishing sums to go upon the stage at once. Her friends decline to give the names of the theatrical managers or to discuss their offers, saying that 110 attention will be paid to any’ of them. An Associated Press reporter called at the Providence hospital today and being told that Miss Pollard was. unable to receive callers, sent to her a note inquiring about her plans tor the future. The noth was answered in person by her brother. J. B. Pollard, a yopng man of about 25 years. “My sister has made no plans for the future,’' he said, “and we can not tell yet what she intends to do. She asks ine to say to you most emphatically that she never entertained any intention of going on the stage. Nothing could be farther from her thoughts or intentions. It is absurd. It i§ true that telegrams on the subject have 'come to her today, but no attention will be paid to them. All she asks now is for rest and quiet.” "Will Miss Pollard continue to live in in Washington, or return to Kentucky,” the reporter inquired. “That has not been decided yet. She will remain in Washington for a rime, of course, but has no settled plans.” Tribute to Jere Wilson. Judge Wilson's defense of the right of woman to an equal place with man in the professions was so appreciated by many of the Washington ladies that a coterie of them sent him a magnificent bunch of la France roses, which, adorned his parlor yesterday. They were accompanied by a note stating that they were intended as an expression of appreciation for his championship of the cause of woman in the professions. One of the signers was Mrs. Dan Waugh, wife of the Indiana congressman; another was Miss Louise Lowell, the stenographer who wrote Colonel Breckinridge’s love letters while he was at the capitol, and another was Miss Mary Desha, sister of Colonel Breckinridge’s late wife. Miss Desha is prominent in the organization of the Daughters of the Revolution, and was one of the ladies who inspired the project of the liberty bell recently cast at Troy. The tribute of Miss Desha to Miss Pollard’s lawyer is significant of the feeling of the relatives of the late Mrs. Breckinridge toward the colonel. A Rare Chance. Mother—Yes, my dear. I know that he is very much older than you are. He is one of the old fashioned gentlemen, the only one of the old stock left unmarried, and I advise you to take him. Daughter—But why? Ho is not even rich. Mother—Wealth does not bring happiness, my daughter. Like his father before him, he will do his own marketing, and if the steak is tough you can growl at him instead of him at you.— New "l?ork Weekly. Early Depravity. “Papa,” asked Tommy Goodman, “who was Cain’s wife?" “Caroline,” said the Rev. Dr. Goodman after an ominous pause, addressing his wife, “will you please band me my heaviest slipper and leave the room? There is going to be a trial for heresy right here „ and right now.”—Chicago Tribune.

WffIISNSITIIB. Republicans Must Vote For the Democratic Rule and Sustain Reed. I OTHERWISE IT CANNOT PASS. 1 The Rule, However, Mu»t Embrace the ; Principle of Count!nx Tlio»e “Present but Not Voting”—lt* Fa**age Practically Aanured—Senate Programme Fall of Tariff Speeches—National New*. Washington, April 16.—The struggle ' over the adoption of the new quorum counting rule decided upon by tho Democratic caucus last Friday will be the feature of the coming week in the house. The details ot the rule have been formulated by the Democratic members of the committee on rules, composed of Speaker Crisp and Messrs. Catchings and Ou th waite, and was submitted to the full committee when it met today. Inasmuch as about one-third of the Democrats are opposed to any quorum counting rule, as indicated by the vote in the caucus, it will be impossible for the Democrats alone, should the Republicans decline to vote and the Democratic opposition sustain their opinions to the extent of declining to vote, to make a quorum to adopt such a rule. In other words, unless the rule framed by the Democratic triumvirate should be satisfactory to the Republicans, the latter could, if they choose, prevent its adoption. The Republicans will, however, shortly acquiesce in the adoption \Of any rule that contains the essential principle of recording as “present but not voting” those members who decline to respond to their names. This is the parliamentary’ principle which Mr. Reed has been contesting ever since the end of the Fifty-first congress. It must be embodied in any new rule submitted to the house or it cannot be adopted. It is expected that when the rule is presented Mr. Reed will make one of the greatest speeches of his life. ‘lt is probable that but little time will be allowed for debate, and the chance is that when the house adjourns Tuesday evening the quorum counting rule will have been adopted and filibustering of the kind which has characterized the proceedings of the house for the past three years will be a thing of the past. The resolution adopted by the caucus instructing the sergeant-at-anns to enforce Section 40 of the Revised Statutes, fining absent members save on account of sickness, it is believed, will have the effect of securing a very full attendance in the house hereafter. As the new order of things has been inaugurated the consideration of the appropriation bills will be resumed. SENATE PROGRAMME. Number of Tariff .Speeches Arranged for j • the Week—Chinese Treaty. Washington, April 16.—The senate ' adjourned soon after the hour of meet- ' ing today out of respect for the memory of Senator Zeb Vance of North Carolina, i whose death occurred suddenly’ Saturday j night. With the exception of the Chinese j treaty, which is to be considered tomorrow, and the routine morning business of each day, the remainder of the week'promises nothing but a continuation of the tariff debate. There is little i doubt that the senate will accept the | agreement - reached between Senators Harris and ALlrich providing that general debate on the tariff shall continue ■ each day frohi yto 5 o’clock, and that it shall not be interrupted by rollcalls or other business. This will probably preclude all parliamentary’ contests and pave the way for 10 ar 12 prepared tariff speeches. <rhe Democratic side of the chamber will furnish a greater number of speeches this week than last. Senator Smith had given notice of a speech for todav. but it has been postponed until tomorrow or later. Senator McLaurin will speak Wednesday. Later in the week Senators Turpie ano Palmer, and fio sibly other Democratic senators, will speak. On the Republican side. Senators Dolph. Morrill. Perjfins, Hig- i gins, Gallinger, Hoar, Cullom, Cameron i and Washburn will probably address the senate, and if there should at any time be any lack of speakers Senator Quay will continue the speech begun by himself on Saturday, the delivery of which it is understood will consume several . days’ time. Oldest Senator's Anniversary. Washington, April 16.—Senator Justin S. Morrill of Vermont celebrated his 84th birthday Saturday. In the evening he held his customary birthday reception. Senator Morrill is the oldest man in either branch of congress. He was elected to the lower house in 1855 and in 1867 was sent to the to which he has been four times returned. Congress. Washington, April 16.—1 n the senate Saturday proceedings did not differ materially from those of the entire week. Some attention was given to the deficiency bill and Mr. Quay started his tariff speech. Democrats could riot muster a quorum and adjourned early in the house. They Quarreled, Then Shot. Chattanooga, April 16.—At Lexington church, near Cleveland, Walter Scott shot and killed John Johnson and was himself shot through the thigh and his horse shot from under him yesterday. Scott had betrayed Johnson’s sister. The men met at the Sunday school and ■ a dispute arose, with the above result. Real Sensitive Boy. Paris, April 13.—A remarkable suicide is reported from Alfortville, a fashionable country residence district near this city. The victim was a boy of 12, j the son of wealthy parents, and his ex- i cuse for killing himself was that his parents hid recently been divorced. Chicago Physician Honored. Chicago, April 18. —A Rome cable says the international medical congress has appointed Dr. J. B. Murphy of Chicago its honorary president for the ■ United States. I
