JUDGE DAVID TURPIE.

[New York Star.] Judge David Turpia, elected Uaited States Senator from laaiana. is a man of somewhat marked personal peculiarities aui of some att.iinuseuts of which the general public is not aware An ex-Hoosier cdito.r talked to a Star reporter recently uoucerning Senator Turpie. “Hie tongue," said the n. foment, bites worse thau old oheese whenever, in debate, he resorts to satire. One may ask the llrst dozes lawyers he meets in Indianapolis whose is the most withering tongue when wagging against an opponent, and t w e unanimous answer will he David Turpin's. “He is a man of small itature, very retiring in manner and a bundle of nerves. His extreme nervousness comes, probably, from smoking, the only dissipation to which he is addict* ed. Few people know him except as he is heard aud seen in the court room or in public assemblage*. Up to two years ago he had for many years been a worshiper, with all or an Eastern devotion, at the shrine of a wife whose superior in beauty, faithfulness or accomplishments has never lived. Since her dearh Judge Turpie re-> mains lull as cjoseiy at home after office hours in the companionship of a daughter, his only child. He might have been elected to Congress any time these dozen years passed bad be but reached out his hand, as ter the manner of politioians, for the honor; but he never could be iiduoed to attend any meeting with a view of seeking political preferment. “But it is in the field of lilerature lhat David Turpie should have positive renown, whereas in that sphere he is totally unknown. In 1884 an at tide appeared in an Indianapolis daily paper, which created a marked sensation by its strength and elo--quenee of diction. The article being unsigned, discussions at once became rif as to the authorship. Hon. R. C. Bel , of Fort Wayne, a prominent lawyer and politician, who was uc* quaiuted with Judge Turtle's literary attainments, promptly made a b;t of SIOO that David Turpie was the author cf the artisle, his aigjmeut being t at not anotner man in Indiana was capable of the piece of work Judge iHrple is more familiar with bhukspenre and all tne e tandard poets and will have more apt quotations at his tongue’s tip than all the other United States Senators combined. I would wager that a list of u dozen subjects may bo written down, and upon being applied to Judge Turpie could give a poetical quotation off hand, applying to each of the dozen subjects His owe pen is felicitous in verse though I douot if he ever allowed his uame appended to one in print. “There will not be a membeT of the Senate °o conspicu us for evading nodco Uuui he lises to make himself heard. . ut whenever he does this he will a fall to command listenets and (Ye country need not be surprised < * long at tne phenomenon of rea ,,: . -'something positively original from a United States Senator.”

Charles P. Griffin, Secretary of State, has attested the signature of Governor Gray to the ejection of Hon. David Turpi* to the United States Senate, and a copy of the official documsn; as transmitted to Washington is given below: Stata of Indian t, 'i Executive Department. \ To Hon John Sherman President of the Senate of the United Status of America: Iu pursuance to tho provisions of Section 18 of the Revised Statutes of tne United States, I, Isaac P.

No Escape That Time.

Io the early history of Indiana there was a time when the inhabitants suffered from the depredations of a desperate gang of horse thieves. Many of the offenders were captured, tried and proved guilty, yet through .gome defect in the indictment, escaped punishment. Naturally, tfee people complained at this, for they got neither satisfaction nor protection. About this time Gen. Marston G. Clark was appointed judge, to fill a vacancy. He was no learned in the law, but he had a stern loye of jus* tice, and, as the following anecdote proves, the people did well in trusting their cause in his hands: Court came ou; Judge Clark on the bench. The jail at this tithe was full of horse thieves. The penalty was not less than thirtynine lashes on the bare back. The grand jury returned indictments against each of the prisoners. Clark—We will try John Long first, as he seems to be a leader in the business. Sheriff, bring him into court. The sheriff brought the man in. “John Long,” said the Judge, ,‘stand up. You are indicted for stealing an Indian pony. Are you guilty or not guilty?” ounsel for John Long—May it please the court, we plead in abatement that his name is John H. Long. Judge Clark—That makes no difference; I know the man, and that is sufficient. Counsel-^We then move to quash the indictment. Judge Clark—State your objections. •* ' Counsel —First, thei e is no value of the horse laid: second, it is charged in the indictment to be a horse, when it is a gelding. Judge Clark —I know an Indian pony is wortli ten dollars, and I shall consider that a gelding is a horse: motion overruled.

The pri oner then pleaded not guilty. The jury was impanelled; the trial was short; verdict, guilty; sentence, thirty-nine lashes on his bare back. tj As a last resort, Long’s 'counsel . moved an arrest ol judgment, on the ground that it was not charged in the indictment that the horse was stolen in the territory of Indiana. The judge promised to consider the point, and give a decision the next day. Meantime he ordered the sheriff to keep the prisoner safe. But privately he told the sheriff to take Long into the woods, clean out of hearing, and give him thirty-nine lashes on his bare back, well laid on, then put him in jail again. “Keep this to yourselves,” he added, “and bring the prisoner into court in the morning.” The order was obeyed to the letter, and, next morning, Long was i the box again, his counsel ignorant of wh'at had taken place. J udge Clark —I have been thinking of the case of Long. I think we will grant him a new trial. Long, springing to his feet, cried out, “Oh, no; for heaven’s sake! I have been whipped almost to death already. I discharge my attorneys, and withdraw their motion.” Judge Clark —Clerk, nter the judgment on the book and mark it satisfied. Tne other prisoners were bro’t in, in succession, and convicted.— No motion to quash, or in arrest, wits afterward made. The ers were whipped nd discharged, carrying with them the news to all their comrades. Not a horse was stolen in that part of the territory for years afterward. - In Montana during the winter erwboys make a living by killing mountain lions, for which a bounty of $8 ‘per head is paid. The animals are ferocious and some are 1 very large. , ,
