A Lively Debate in the House Precodes the Passage of the

Bill.

CLEVELAND'S KITCHEN CABINET MINISTER TO MAKE A DOLLAK OK SO.

How International Affairs aie Madfi Lo Sfei'Ve the Purposes oi a Political Party.

WASHINGTON, September 8.—Iramediatnly ift«r tlie reading of the Journal, the hoimo rosuiiHn.1 the consideration of t.lm retaliation bill, and was addressed by Mr. White, of New York, who declared for retaliation, such as would retaliate upon thfc enemy and not upon the people of the United States. He believed the lirnt section of the bill would inure to the benelit of the Dominion of Canada, and lo the permanent injury of t.he cummerce of this country and of American labor. 'J'lie stoppage of the shipment of freight in bond, would not hurt a Mingle Canadian fisherman who has been guilty or wrong, but would hurt the people of the western provinces, who had it committed a grievance, and while t.he province of Manitoba must pay more for the transfer of its freight, American workmen would lose it year if the provisions of the bill were carried into effect. The question came to him whether under oath, he should vote for a measure which he believed to be directly detrimental to the laboring men of his district, in behalf of what had been characterized by the gentleman from Illinois IMr. Cannon), was beating a gong and furnishing another mallet

for

the purpose. He would -never vote for putting a mallet In the hand of any man to b«at a Chinese gong, who, as he struck the gong, necessarily hit the heads of American workingmen and American enterprises. (Applause on the Kepublican side). He believed the bill was unjust, illogical and wrong, and if he voted alone (as he probably would) lie would vote against the bill.

Mr.

WilBon,

of Minnesota, asserted

that the ruler who would precipitate war without imperative necessity and without exhausting every honorable means to avoid it would merit and call down upon himself the execration of ever just and right minded man. He then analyzed the acts of 1887 to support his assertion that every mischief and every injury which it was charged would result to the people of the Northwest from the enactment of the pending bill, would have resulted to them by the enforcement of the act of 1887. That act authorized the president to prohibit the introduction of Canadian goods. Did anyone suppose the Canadian government would not retaliate in kind!1

Mr. Lind, of Minnesota, inquired whet,her his colleague did not suppose that under the pending bill the Canadians would not pay the United States back in its own coin.

Mr. Wilson replied that the bill did not make any such thing possible or necessary. The pending bill was particularly guarded so as not to destroy the business of the North west, iis the act of is.sT would have done, Gentlemen on the other side (with one exception), while denouncing the pending bill, had declared their intention of voting for it. This showed a low state of morals or lack of independence unbecoming in men who ventured to charge the president with,, pusilanimity. deferring to the charge made by gentlemen on the other side that the president's annual message was a free trade document Mr. Wilson entered emphatic denial and in the course of his remarks he declared Mr. Carnegie received an income of :?I,.~00,00) a year.

Mr. Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, inquired where the gentleman got his ligures. Mr. Wilson replied that he got them from the statement of an honored member of the house (meaning Mr. Scott, of Pennsylvania,! and the explanation made bv Mr. Carnegie had made it certain that the statement was true. Mr. Wilson declined to say who his informant was.

Mr. Dal /.el I asserted the statement was absurd, ridiculous and false in addition, and that he must be a credulous man who would swallow it.

Mr. Wilson How much does he make? Mr. Dalzell I don't know. Do you know how iuuch the gentleman from Krie (Mr. Scott) who made tho statement makes every year?

Mr. Wilson That has nothing to do wiLh it. Decisive laughter on the Ite publican side.| Continuing, Mr. Wilson Maid should war be declared (which Cod forbid I a gunboat of Croat liritain would hardly have time to reach our shores before Canada would be part of the I'nited States, lie thought, that there would be no war, but. should the queen of England, forgetting the lessons to her ancestors in the past, aim or discharge at us one unfriendly gun from one of her gunboats, he predicted that the echo which it would awaken would not cease to reverberate before rover Cleveland, president of the greatest republic on earth, would salute Charles Stewart Parnell as the president of the youngest republic on earth. Applause on the Democratic side.

Mr. Lind, of Minnesota, said that if t.he pending bill became a law, the president would by a singlestroke of the pen reduce the value of the (0,000,0^ bushelsof Minnesota and Dakota wheat 7 cents a bushel. He could enhance the evactions of the Northwestern railroads at least "2~ per cent. He could ruin the trade of the twin cities, the pride of Minnesota and the Northwest. lie could cripple the enterprisiug men of the Northwest., but it was not on account of nellish reasons that he would vote against the bill. He would vote agaiilst it because he believed that it was conceived for impro[er purposes. It was uncalled for, wrong in theory and an unworthy exponent of the power, dignity and honor of the American people. Turning his attention to Mr. Scott's speech, Mr. Lind said that gentleman had admitted that he was a stockholder and director in the Canadian Pacitic company. He found no fault with the gentleman for that. It was his right as an American citizen but when the gentlemen came here to advocate a scheme to the detriment of the Ametican people and for the purpose of furthering his personal interests as the otlicer of a foreign corporation, it was time to call a halt. [Applause on Republican side. If the provisions of the bill were carried into effect, the produce of ihe Northwest, which was now carried through Canada to New York and Hoston, would be carried to Halifax, and the object of Mr. Scott, the Canadian Pacitic monopoly and the Tory administration would be accomplished. (Republican applause.

The discussion was further continued

by Messrs. O'Neill, of Missouri, and Tarsney, of Michigan. The latter expressed his abhorrence of war, and his preference for peaceful methods in the adjustment of differences, but if peaceful methods would not avail, then the state of Michigan would take care of Canada, and make a couple of Democrats! states out of her. The people of Michigan desired peace, but it must be peace on honorable terms. Let England and Canada distinctly understand that though the Uuited States desired peace it would not under any circumstances submit to an insult. Applause.] r. Cockran, of New York, said that the address on the other side, which had furnished the keynote of the discussion, had been the able speech of the gentleman from Illinois. (Mr. Hitt). To that gentleman alone was due the credit of lifting the discussion to a higher level in the plane of parliamentary proceedings, but he regretted that while the spech was eloquent, it lacked that element of candor and fairness which would have made it one of the greatest productions of this session. The gentleman from Illinois had charged the representatives of the government in the treaty negotiations, with a distinct act of betrayal of American rights, and had sad there was an unwritteii postscript to Ihe treaty and that that postscript was an agreement between Secretary Hayard and the Canadian minister. He had said that the introduction of the Mills bill and the vote by which it was passed were part of the conspiracy of betrayal, secretly entered into and carried out with dissimulation and almost with treason. To charge the pree ident with having negotiated treaty and trying to hoodwink the people in to the belief that it was for one purpose while the Canadians were told it was for another with treating the United States with dissimulation and extending confidence with the Canadian envoy, with letting the people learn the true character of the treaty from declarations in the Canadian parliament, this was to charge the president with something graver than treason, with a crime which had no paralel in the history of the executive oflice of the United States. There were men on the Demo cratic side who would be the last the world to countenance the sale of American interests or American dignity to the British government. There-were men who remembered tho government of Creat Britain with feelings which prompted them to anything but an act of friendship, who remembered that the gallows was the illustration of her force and the hangman the apostle of her civilization. Had the gen tleman shown a reason which would justify, or a temptation which would prompt any American statesmen to do such an act as he had charged? The administration of President Cleveland, the motives which prompted his ollieial acts needed no explanation to the country. Democratic applause. 1 The gentleman from Illinois knew that they needed no explanation because the people believed them to have been prompted by patriotism and inspired by love of country. [Applause.] It would not do at this stage of the campaign to attempt to manufacture campaign thunder of this character, for the reafion that the people knew how to test its sincerity. [Significant applause on Republican side.| He regarded that applause with pleasure. He knew to what it referred and he adopted the declaration of the gentlemen, Mr. O'Neill, that the message waB a campaign document, and it was a great one, because it appealed to the intelligence and patriotism of the people (Democratic applause), whom the president trusted, and whom the gentlemen on the other side appeared to distrust, and whose intelligence they thought they could bamboozle. Democratic applause. (Ientlemen need not be mistaken about the effect of their assaults. The sneer they levelled at the president was but a thin disguise for the respect they felt for him. Democratic applause. (Ientlemen on the other side would say that the president had reached his present degree of success mostly by luck, but they would not assert for an instant that it was encompassed by dishonor and representative senators would declare that never during his incumbency had they been able to invade his privileges and prerogative. (Democratic applause.) (Ientlemen on the other side might saythat President Cleveland was not a great man. No one would dare deny that he was an honest man and he was a great man in tho eyes of the country, not because he was a possessor of qualities which lifted him above all others, but because he was a noble type of the American citizen of the land. The Republicans had their uncrowned king. They had their shepherd of the people. He had so many titles that the mind was confused and paralysed in the contemplation of his greatness. But before tho American people, and at the ballot box, he had been vanquished by tho simple type of American citizen. [Democratic applause. It would not do to say that a president who did no act for which his supporters blushed was wanting iu greatness. If a man who hail risen from the humblest station to the greatest, who had rise by force of virtue [derisive laughter on Republican side) and not by a sacrifice of it. who had walked in the full sunlight of publicity, who, after four years of administration, found himself renominated by the spontaneous voice of his party, who had never held a trust when those conlided it to him had not sought to extend his term of service, who wielded by the confidence of the people, a power far greater than that with which the constitution clothed him, who found that the party leader whom he had vanquished when yet untried, now fled prudently, if not iugloriously from a renewal of the conflict, who had no ambiguous acts to defend or unwise epistolory expressions to explain—if this man was not great, then greatness was not a quality which should be encouraged on Democratic soil. Loud and long applause on Democratic side.] Instead of ephemeral, dazzling qualities, which among unthinking men went to make up greatness give liim as a Democrat the strength and the dignity, the virtues and the intelligence of the president who was in the White House, of the Democratic candidate who would be in it for four years more.

As Mr. Cockran closed the Democratic side burst into enthusiastic applause and he was immediately surrounded by party friends eager to otVer congratulations.

Mr. liayne. of Pennsylvania, said the president had ample power under the act of March, 1SS7, to secure American rights. What does he want with more power? Why, that he might throw onto the Canadian railways trailic amounting to $T0,000,000, and take it away from New England railways. And a member of the "Kitchen cabinet", a director of the Canadian Pacific, and a man whose fortune would be advanced by the gift of that traflic came here and made a four hour's speech in support of the object to be subserved. The message of the president was nothing more than an offer to create a diversion from the tariff

issue and in favor of some new issue which the administration sadly needed at this time, but which would not rescue it from the oblivion and defeat which awaited it in November. The president had not in his opinion pursued a dignified and proper course. He believed that the bill should not be made a law and he proposed to vote against it. He believed that it was a campaign makeshift* and he did not propose to vote to allow the president to ruin our railway system and throw the employes out of work. The gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Chipman) had rudely replied when asked a question, and had said the nearer a man approached a diplomat in appearance, the nearer he was to a fool, while the nearer approached a diplomat in substance the nearer he was to a knave. He (Bayne) had read Chipman's autobiography from the congressional dictionary, showing that he had participated in the making of an Indian treaty, and invited him to classify himself. In conclusion he asked whether the president's strait was so sore, his offence so great that he had called for defence at the hands of the greatest criminal lawyer in New York, (Cockran).

The debate was continued by Messrr. McAdoo, McMillin, ParquharandSeney. Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, charged the president with dishonesty in sending in his message. Ho was trilling with the American people. American citizens 1"),000 fishermen—had been outraged and they asked that their enemies be treated in the same way as they had been treated. The present war head of this nation stood paralyzed and silent. The ears would protrude through the hide. Was Grover Cleveland the great type of American citizenship. God have mercy on the country. He (Henderson) would not touch upon that moral type. He never had. The curtain which had been drawn so carefully around that moral type by eloquent and gifted men, he would not raise his hand to touch. He would be kind. But he challenged the Democrat to tear down the curtain around the life of the Republican candidate, Benjamin Harrison. [Applause on the Republican siae.j It would stand inspection, public and private inspection. Grover Cleveland might be the Democratic type of American morals and American citizenship, but for him (Mr. Henderson) he would not point the young men of America to him as a model (hisses on Democratic side) to the man who now bursting with war spirit, had hired a substitute when the land was in battle

Mr. McMillen—Where was Blaine? Mr. Henderson, disregarding the interruption, proceeded declaring that the model American of GO,000,000 Americans was Benjamin Harrison. [Loud applause on the Republican side.]

Mr. Caruth, of Kentucky, said that anyone listening to Mr. Henderson would imagine that the outrages on American fishermen were of recent date instead of happening during a Republican administration.

The debate having closed, Mr. White, of New York, moved to recommit tho bill to the committee on foreign affairs, with instructions to strike out the first section, but the motion was lost, without a division. The bill was then passed— yeas 171, nays -1, the negatives being Bayne, Dalzell, Lind, and White, of New York.

THE YI00 PROHIBITIONISTS.

The County Convention Held Here Yesterluy—CumliflnteM for County OfJiees. The'Prohibitionists of the county met in tho Circuit court room yesterday afternoon for the purpose of putting a ticket in the field for the county offices. There were about forty present among them being quite a number of ladies who were interested in the cause. The meeting was called to order at 1 tfO by Mr. J. E. Woodruff and was organized by the selection of Mr. B. Holmes as chairman. W. C. Rhoades, the permanent secretary, was not present and J. II. Daily was selected to act in his abscence. The chairman of the meeting stated the purpose for which they had assembled, and the principles of the Prohibition party. He then introduced Mr. T. E. Ballard, of Crawfordsville, who made the race two years ago for congress on the Prohibition ticket. Mr. Ballard spoke at length, and did not conclude until after o'clock. He arraigned both the Democratic and Republican parties. He spoke very rapidly, and with the very bad echo of the court room, it was difficult for one to hear all that was said. After the address, the selection of a county ticket was proceeded with. It resulted as follows:

Treasurer— Noah Kvlnser. ot Sugar Creek. Sheriff—L. ). Sheets, of Riley. State Senator—.). K. Woodruff, of Riley. Representatives—C. T. Cook, of Lust Creek Rudolph Davis, of Otter Creek.

Commissioner First District--Win. Robinson, of Fayette. Commissioner Second District- liazll Holmes, of city.

Commissioner Third District— W. I*. Senior, of Herson. Coroner-Charles W. Russell, of Riley.

Surveyor—Alexander Cooper, of l.ost Creek. Aftor the candidates were named speeches were called for, and quite a number responded. Another meeting will be called for the near future, for the purpose of securing a better and closer organization.

Going to Be Nun.

BOSTON, September 8.—Miss Grace M. llanley, daughter of Colonel llanley, is soon to enter the convent of the Order of Jesus and Mary at Quebec, as a nun. Miss Hanley is about 18 years old, and was recently graduated from the school of the same convent with the highest honors, receiving the Lansdowne medal at the hands of the govern or general of Canada. Miss Hanley is well known, from her remarkable cure on August 18, at the Mission Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, in lloxbury. She had been for years a cripple, and was taken to the church in a carriage, but was able to walk home unassisted. Her cure attracted widespread attention. She is now leaving a home, where she has been surrounded by every luxury, and will devote the rest of her life to the church.

GOOD SHORT STORIES.

A Story of Nye and Riley's Manager. Amos Walker, of Indianapolis, is at the Everet hotel, the guest of Major Pond, the lecture manager, says the New York Evening Sun. Mr. Walker was the manager of *James Whitcomb Riley and Bill Nye, the humorist, from the outset of their career. He is a humorist himself and a great practical joker. Several ladies, including the widow of Thome, the actor, were present Saturday afternoon when Bill Nye and a friend of Mr. Walker's called to seo him at Major Pond's office.

The interview began by guying Mr Walker, as a green countryman. He knows New York as well as Indianapolis, but he bore the dialling so soberly that those in the room who did not know him, really supposed him a ruralist on his first visit to this city. "Finished plowing out your corn, I suppose," remarked a friend. "Yes," drawled Mr. Walker. "Cninch bugs bother your wheat much?" asked Nye. "Naw," was the answer. "How's that neighbor of yours down near Pekin whose boy went up to In dianapolis to work in a drug Btore?" "He's well. Boy's working the old man's place on shares," was the reply, and then for the first time during the day Mr. Walker smiled. The drug store to work in which the boy went to Pekin was Mr. Walker's. He was perhaps the greenest country lad that ever struck the city. When he appeared at the store the following conversation ensued: "Which department do you prefer, keeping books or compounding drugs?" asked Walker. The young man expressed a preference for bookkeeping. "Now, look here," said the druggist, "I want an accountant that can decorate -my books with nourishes say, head the page for one day's record with a deer and for the next with an eagle." The youth gave specimens of most elaborate but awful ornamental penmanship, and was instructed to call around the next day, When he arrived several of Walker's friends were on hand, and with the utmost sobriety the practical joker said: "If a custc^ier should desire an article from the other side of the store we might want you to leave your books and 6erve him quickly. It would be necessary for you to jump over the counter. Please give us a sample of your agility."

Then for half an hour they had him vaulting back and forth over the counters.

He came the next day for a further trial and was told: "I'm afraid our books are too complicated for you. We have at our soda fountain sixteen syrups. Sometimes a person will want all of them in one drink and you would have to record them in a single entry. You are not equal to the work. I am Rorry to disappoint you, but I should be pleased to take you to the armory tonight and entertain you."

The militiamen at the armory were posted, and when Walker and his protege entered they pretended to get into a dreadful quarrel and threatened to attack the two. The youth finally escaped and bounded down-stairs three steps at a time. Walker never saw him again.

One day the manager was passing through Pekin. On the platform he met a countryman and asked him if he knew the youth. "Yes," was the answer "he's working down here on his dad's farm. He went up to Injunap'lis to work in a drug store, but he didn't like it right well up thar."

A Sawmill 011 tlie Sliiife.

Writing to the Pittsburg Dispatch from London, Hepburn Jones says: "While we are upon the subject of sensational drama I must tell you of Joe Arthur's idea for the central color point of the new play he will produce in New York next fall. Ho intends having a large sawmill in full operation upon the stage. The saws will not only be practicable, but the real article and of the largest kind. They will be operated by steam, and an engine will be carried by the company when the play goes on the road. "The way Mr. Arthur proposes to utilize the saws is undoubtedly ingenious, and, as far as I can discover, in effect original, although a second rate play was produced once in which a paper saw operated on the stage was a minor feature. "One of the characters in the play is subject to lits of insanity. He has a quarrel with another man about a woman, and in self-defense knocks him down. Tho fight occurs close to the saws in the mill, and the man who is knocked down falls on the lumber which is slowly being drawn under the teeth of the saw. Just at this point the other man becomes temporarily insane, and in his madness, without really wishing to commit murder, he refuses to move to the assistance of the man he has knocked down. "But the wife of the man who i? approaching a horrible death sees the situation from the window of a room in the mill in which she has been locked. In full sight of the audience she cuts through the door and gets on the stage just in time to dr.ig her insensible husband from the revolving saws, now only an inch away. She, after bidding the workmen, who swarm in as soon as they are not wanted particularly, to lynch the would-be murderer of her husband, faints gracefully in the sawdust. "The audience, watching the man gradually getting closer to the deadly saws, it can be readily undeastood would be wrought up to a great pitch of excitement. The critics, when the time comes, will doubtless point out the moral beauties of this new chapter of sensationalism."

Kemenyi and the Policeman. Joseffy, the pianoforte expert, is constantly to be seen up-town, says the New Yory Evening Sun. He is very fond of .a good dinner and a glass of good wine, and one wonders, looking at his dumpy little hands how they can ever Hy over the keys as they do. When Remenyi, the eccentric violinist, was here some years ago Joseffy and he were ^inseparable although their habits were very dissimilar. One hot summer evening they happened to be dining together, and later in the evening Joseffy expressed his desire to pay a visit to some friends, asking Remenyi to accompany him.

The violinist said he would go and wait for his friend, but did not care to make new acquaintances, so would not go in. While the pianist was making his call Remenyi strolled up and down in the sultry air, and at last, becoming tired, sat down on the stoop. Just then a big policeman came along with a "Here, wot you're doing there? Move along." To which the timid reply, "Only waiting for a friend." "That won't go down, young feller," said the officer. "Move on."

Just at this moment Remenyi took off

his hat, showing the bald spot on his head which resembled a priest's tonsure, and the policeman, astounded, exclaimed: "Oh, beg pardon, your reverence, didn't know it was you."

Poor Remenyi is now at the bottom of the ocean, having been wrecked on his way home near the Cape of Good Hope, but Joseffy still tells the story with delight.

REUNION OF THE BRAYF.

[Lines written for the reunion of the Thirtyfirst. Forty-third, Elghty-tlfth and Seventy-lirst Indiana Infantry and the Fourth and Sixth cavalry, to be held to-day to-morrow and Sunday. By E. T.

Spotswood, SI. D., late surgeon of the Sixth cavalry. Old Comrades True, once more we meet, our soldier life reviewing, Our battles and our marches long, again we are reviewing, And now around the camp-lire's glow, our heart's with memories swelling, We will again recall the past, In stories we are telling.

The friendshipsJformed 'mid war's alarm wlun dangers thickly thronged. Each year shall flrmer, stronger grow to life's last breath prolonged Nor shall those thrilling scenes grow dim nor fade from memory's page But fresher shall they ever be as comes our tottering age.

Again we'll press each comrade's hand, who once the musket carried, The brave boys who, to frleuds were true, and n'er from duty tarried. From the same canteen again we'll iuatf. and friendship's pledge draw tighter. Which through life's march have bound us still yet always growing brighter.

Upon the picket line we'll stand and guard each comrade's weal, With never faltering purpose tirin, and hearts as true its steel. We'll stand again as once we stood, when battle raged around us, Each comrade to Ills brother knit by the same old cords that bound us.

Again we hear the bugle call, again the life's shrill screaming, The beating of the martial drum, and see the ritles gleaming. We hear the charging squadrons tramp, the musket's deadly rattle, The saber's clash, the carbine's ring, the din and ro ir of battle.

As 'neath the conlllet's frowning cloud, our chary Ing ranks plunge under We see the cannons tiery Mash, and hear Its booming thunder. The whizzing bul lets—leaden bolts, like hall around us flying, And fill the air with saddening moans, of wounded and the dying.

Where charging colums close have met, on ramparts red, with slaughter wet, Where deat'nlng volleys peal and Jcrash, where clangs the glittering bayonet, Where hostile banners toss and wave, above the battle's smoky haze, And broadswords Hash with lightning gleam and blinding batteries blaze.

Our comrades fall on every hand, and in bloody shrouds are sleeping, While rain of shot, and bursting shell, are death's dread harvest reaping. The surging rush of charging host, to deadly conillct springing, And the wild hurrah, the victor's shout, above the tumult ringing.

But this has past, long years ago, its memories Tast are going, And white robed Peace o'er all tlie land, Is now her blessing throwing. For this we fought, for this we bled, that now, henceforth, forever, One hope, o^e country, and one ltag.no traitor hand shall sever.

To generations yet unborn, this blood-bought gift we tender, And bid them hold it through all time, and n'er the prize snrrender, Our torn and tattered battle Hags around their staffs are furled. No longer lloat above our ranks, by gentle breezes curled.

Our silent guns are stacked away, and dim'd with cankering rust. Our swords iu scabbards Idly lay, and mouldering back to dust No longer sounds the bugle-call, the life's shrill notes are still, The echoes of the cannonade, have ceased on vale and hill.

The long roll's startling beat Is o'er, nor sounds the drum's tattoo. No summons come from martial notes, the conflict to renew. But duty wills us now as then, our country's life to save. And keep Its Institutions pure, In memory of the brave.

Who 'mid the toll and bloody strife, In holy consecration. (iave up their lives a ransom true, to save the dying nation. Let discord cease, and strife be still, let every wrong be righted, And peace and love again shall reign, through all the land united.

And Blue and (iray again shall clasp, fraternal hands together, And to our common country's Hag, renew their pledge forever. With holler aspirations lllled, to loftier alms ascending, To grander deeds, In nobler strife, with patriot zeal contending.

On peaceful llelds, In generous strife again together stand. Resisting wrong and aiding wrlght throughout our much-loved land. These are the victories peace demands, while here we longer stay. For on our path the evening conies, and soon will end our day.

We are on the march by night and day, with feeble steps and slow. No rest, no hailing by the way. as onward still we go. We are crossing to the other side, through the cold, dark flowing river. And soon beyond its swelling tide, we all will pass forever.

We are marching on with ceaseless tramp, to brighter llelds to tread, We are gathering in the silent camp, where bivouac the dead. No straggler will be left behind, but all again will be. At the (irand Reunion of the Brave at morning reveille.

MRS. REED WANTS DAMAGES.

-She Kilters Suit Against tlie Kxiiress" for Ubel, Asking: $'",000. Mrs. Susan M. Reed has commenced suit in the Circuit court against the Express for libel, the damages being _placed at en,000. The suit is liled by an Indianapolis attorney, who is not known here. The publication which is alleged to have been libelous appeared a few months ago, and at this late day suit is brought. The article told the Btory of Mrs. Reed having thrown some kind of liquid into the face of Mrs. Barney MoClung, of the family living in Mrs. Reed's house, at the corner of Eighth and Ohio streets. It was stated in the article that Mrs. Reed had appeared in a number of roles and had obtained newspaper notoriety. This is one of the paragraphs from the complaint. Another that from several sentences it could be inferred that she had a violent temper. The complaint sets forth that the article appeared in big headlines, big "types" being used, and was a half "colum" long as the Indianapolis attorney chose to spell the words. The modest demand is made for $5,000 and the defendant is summoned to appear on the 27th of the present month.
