A COMMISSARY OF POLICE WAS HOUQHLY HANDLED.

4 Death in a Duel Caused by a Boulangist Dispute—Foreign Notes.

PARIS, July 14.—M. De Roulede, M. Laguerre and other Boulangist members of the chamber of deputies, assembled in the place De La Consorde before the statue of Strasburg to-day, intending to hold a meeting. A crowd of several thousand persons had gathered, and -M. De Roulede was about to begin a speech when a police commissary, named Clementi, pried his way through the crowd and approaching De Roulede forbade him to speak. De Roulede protested, but the police official was obdurate. De Roulede then began affixing floral wreaths to the railing around the statue, at the same time* leading the crowd in Bhouts of "Vive Boulanger." Clementi tried to arrest De Roulede but the latter stoutly resisted, saying that he had not made a speech, and had only cheered for Boulanger. He refused to accompany the officer to the police station. Clementi thereupon seized him, but the crowd came to De Roulede's rescue and took him away from the officer. Clementi was being roughly bandied by the crowd when a large body of police suddenly appeared upon the scene and charged the crowd, driving them in all directions and rescuing the unfortunate commissary. A large number of persons were arrested. Laguerre and De Roulede during the scrimmage jumped into a cab and were driven to the office of La Preese, where a mob gathered and indulged in noisy demonstrations. The police cleared the streets and made more arrests. The incident has caused a sensation throughout the city and dangerous developments are feared.

PARIS, July 14.—The one hundredth anniversary of the fall of the Bastile was oelebrated by the public meetings, and fetes in Paris and throughout the provinces. Transparencies, bearing representations of General Boulanger, were displayed in the windows of the League of Patriots, and at other Boulangist resorts. These devices called forth a few hootings from pasBersby, but, with the exception of the disorders in the Place De La Concorde, and at the office of La Presse, the day passed* off without disturbances of any kind.

THE TERRE

A SCAB* ABOUT MR. BLAINE.

Wild Ramon That He Will or Has Resigned From the Cabinet. BALTIMORE, July 14. The Sun's

Washington special says: "As far as can be learned the rumor that Secretary Blaine has resigned is without foundation. Mr. Blaine has never thought of resigning. Of course, if he should get sick so as to be unable to attend to the duties of the office he would doubtless resign, but Mr. Blaine is not sick. He was in better health when he left here on his vacation than he had been at any time since the administration began. There oould be no other reason for his resignation, for his relations yith the president have been of the most pleasant character. No, sir you can safely say there is no truth in the rumor."

Attorney General Miller stated that there was no truth in the rumor of Mr. Blaine's resignation. He said that Mr. Blaine's health was good and that the relations between Mr. Harrison and his secretary of state were most cordial. Subordinate officials in the state department also deny that thereisany grounds for the rumor, and say it is only another of the leriodical scares about Mr. Blaine's lealth.

WASHINGTON, July 14.—The Sunday Herald, of this city, to-day printed a statement to the effect that Secretary Blaine had resigned on account of ill health. It can be stated on high authority that the report is not true.

At Deer Park. isS

BALTIMORE, Md., July 14.—The Sun's Deer Park special says: The rain kept the presidential family indoors the greater part of tbe day. During the early part of the day the president devoted himself to tbe consideration of several cases pending before the department of justice. Late in the afternoon the sun came out, giving ex-Senator Davis an opportunity to take the president out for a drive. Secretary Windom and Private Secretary Halford were also members of the party. The president remarked that in viewjt the hot, dusty ride of Friday afternoon he might be obliged to revise his plans for the summer, and spend more time here than he had originally intended. He doee not look forward with pleasure to a twelve hours' ride on the railroad weekly for the next two months, and he will probably go to Washington during that period, only when absolutely necessary. Secretary Windom heartily concurs in the proposition to hold cabinet meetings here in the meantime, and Private Secretary Halferd cheerfully volunteers to make trips to and from the capital as often as necessary, to keep the president fully informed aa to the condition of the public business. This matter is still under advisement

BEGGS' BROTHER-IN-LAW TALKS.

The Wife, Beggs' Sister, Said to Have Harbored Winnipeg Burke. CHICAGO, July 14.—W. T. Horne,

brother-in-law of the Cronin suspect, Beggs, gave information to the police today regarding the supposed movements of the Winnipeg prisoner, Burke. May 12, a week after the disappearance of Cipnin, there came to Home's house oii the invitation of Home's wife, a man whom Home

Bays

Jcorresponds exactly with the

published picture of Burke. The visitor was accompanied by a woman named "Minnie," Who keeps a boarding hoihe in the part of the city adjacent to the Carlson cottage. The supposed Burke and his companion spent the day with the Homes, and were uneasy and trying to evade observation. The value of this information, if true, would be inestimable as showing a more or lees direct connection between Beggs and Burke. Horne and his wife have recently had a quarrel and are now living apart. Horne claims that Lawyer Beggs cheated him in settling up the estate of their father-in-law.

Death in a Grip Car.

CLEVELAND, O., July 14.—On the Vine Street & Clifton cable road this afternoon a gripman got off thfe car at the power house in Corryville and put his train of two cars in the handB of a conductor for a trip to Clifton. Both cars were full and at Eichler's garden, on the borders of Clifton, tu'e conductor released the cable and tried to stop. The car rushed down the steep grade with speed. He tried his break, and it was broken. Then he tried his grip, but it refused to grasp. Just then some one shouted, "Jump!" Both cars were full. Women began to snream and jump off. People jumped on each other. Mrs. Julia Telgheder, of this city, had her neck broken and died immediately. Thomas F. Conber had an arm broken and was otherwise hurt. Six others were hurt. They uniformally refused to give their names. The company has several physicians to-night employed trying to find them.

An Inclined Plane Accident. CINCINNATI, July 14.—A frightful ac­

cident, but unattended by loss of life, happened this noon at the top of the Mount Auburn inclined plane railway. The road has just been changed to an electric one, and to day, for the first time, cars were taken up and down the inclined plane by running on trucks made for the purpose. A car had entered the truck at the top of the hill and stopped six inches short of the block intended to hold it in place on the truck. The grip man undertook to apply the motor to move it that short distance. The block was broken, the car crashed through the iron gates at the end of the truck, and pitched headlong down on the track below, a distance of ten or fifteen feet, where it rested on the forward end. There were but two boys and the grip man aboard. They escaped with slight injuriee. ^.

TOE SLUGGERS IN CHICAGO.

Sullivan Has an Encounter With "Levee" Whisky and "Sailor" Brown, the Fighter.

PETE JACKSON AND HE NAR ROWLY MISS A FIGHT. I

Kilrain and His Party Also Manage to Get Out of Indiana Into Chicago.

CHICAGO, July 14.—The ehampion pugilist of the world visited the disreputable quarter known as the "Levee" to-night, and for a time held himself erect, but ''laevee" whisky is too much for the great John L. Mr. Sullivan made things lively, however, before he grew tired. He arrived at Tom Curley's saloon about ten a. m., and promptly took a drink which was followed by a good many more, the number increasing as the crowd of sports in the saloon grew larger. The negro giant, Peter Jackson, came in after awhile with the lees celebrated oaucasian slugger, ''Sailor" Brown. In the course of the discussion which ensued Mr. Brown called Mr. Sullivan a liar. Mr. Sullivan promptly "swiped" Mr. Brown on the nose, and Mr. Brown suddenly fell in a heap on the floor. One 'Professor' Conley attempted

Jto^nterfere

apparently for the purpose of dividing the notoriety with Brown. The professor was denied the honor of being knocked out by the champion. Saloonkeeper Curley disposed of Mr. Conley with a fair imitation of one of John L.'s terrible right handers. Any chance there might have been of Mr. Jackson coming in pugilistic contact with Mr. Sullivan was spoiled by the Boston man being hustled by friends into a back room, where the beet "Levee" rye was brought with great liberality to soothe Mr. Sullivan's lacerated feelings. By 3 p.m. the world beater had been thoroughly calmed. As a matter of fact, he was wholly unconscious of his surroundings, and remained so until 5 p. m. At that hour the victor of Richburg emerged from the saloon with Mr. Curley and others and, taking a buggy, sallied out presumably for a night full of adventure.

RILRAIN MAKING FOR TORONTO.

The Party Drives From Edinbtrg to Noblesvllle and Board a Train. INDIANAPOLIS, July 14.—The Journal

learns from Nobleeville, a town twenty miles north, that Kilrain, Murphy and Frank A. Stone, all of Baltimore, reachad that place last night, having drnpHfom Edinburg. The party has been on the alert ever since leaving Columbus, and all their ingenuity was called into play in avoiding officers. They left Pony Moore at a station a few miles north of Indianapolis, where he boarded a Lake Erie & Western train, and when the train reached Nobleeville he was joined by Kilrain and Murphy. Stone was left at Nobleeville to care for and return the team. It is suppossd the others have gone to Detroit. Kilrain has written to his wife at Baltimore to send him $2,000 to Toronto, where all the members of the party expect to meet.

CHICAGO, July 14 —Jake Kilrain arrived in Chicago to day at 6:30 a. m. at the Polk street depot, having boarded a train near Indianapolis about ten o'clock Seturday night. He was accompanied by Johnny Murphy. Not a friendly face was visible at the depot when they arrived, and the rain poured down in torrents as they looked about them for a carriage. They had separated from Charley Mitchell twenty-four hours before with the understanding that they would meet him at "Parson" Daviee' place in Chicago aa soon as possible. This they did to throw the Indiana's sleuths off their track, the party being so large as to attract the attention of scores of reward-seeking Ilooeiers and deputy sheriffs. They first drove to the "parson's" saloon on Clark street, but found it closed. They then repaired to his residence, 274 Huron street. It was then about 7 o'clock. The amiable parson WBB still in tbe land of nod, dreaming, perhaps, of how he had saved $1,000 by not betting on his friend, whom he at one time believed could "do" John L. After repeated tugs at the door bell, the pair were admitted and for the first time in nearly a week were safe from arrest. Their faces fairly beamed with joy at the bare idea of meeting a friend. Their subsequent movements are best told in the "parson's" own words: "They were a sorry looking pair when they arrived. Faces unshaven, and boots heavy with Indiana mud. Their clothes, too, were far from attractive. They neeed a good Samaritan, and that's me. Well, I took the boys in and filled them up. They wished to leave for the East as soon as possible, so I arranged to get them off during the afternoon. Mitchell had arrived Saturday night, and the three again agreed to risk their liberty by traveling together. I bought tickets for them and they left for the East over the Pennsylvania road at 3:15 p. m.

The pareon also related, incidentally, that the party was "broke." He

Baid

he

loaned Kilrain $109. "Jake has plenty of stuff," said the parson, "but he did not happen to have it with him. It's very unhandy, you know, to be traveling about the country broke. It's hard work, besides." "Do you think they will reach the East without further trouble?" he was asked. "They will that I've fixed every thing It is not generally known by what route. they left"

bey le "Did Kilrain say what had become of

ISM

his backer. Pony Moore?"

"He said Pony waa still in tbe woods, but he expected him to reach the East within a day or two."

Notwithstanding many conflicting rumore John L. Sullivan waa in Chicago all day to-day.

THE FALL OF THE BA8T1LF.

The Celebration of the One Hundredth An nlversary of the Event by Frenchmen. NEW YORK, July 14.—The French citi­

zens of New York and vicinity to-day began' the one hundredth anniversary of the fall of the Baatile with a grand reception and concert at Washington park. The large hail of the park had been especially decorated with tri-oolored flags and banners. The exercises opened with an official reception to Consul General Bruwaert, in which Mr. Henry Maillard, president of the French centennial committee, made the address of welcome. Letters of regret were read from President Carnot, Ferdinand De Leeseps, Mayor Grant, Governor Hill, Grover Cleveland, President Harrison and Vice President Mortor.

Ex-President Cleveland wrote: "I send the following sentiment: 'The friendship which haa so long existed be tween the United States and France is made more sacred and binding by their common devotions to the doctrine of the popular rule, and by the mission they have undertaken to demonstrate the fitness of mankind for self government.'"

President Harrison's letter was: "May the homes of France be perpetually filled with prosperity, contentment and peace. May the French republic ever live in honor among the nations and in th steadfast love of its citizens." iiavi P. Motton's letter: DEAR SIR:— I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your esteemed favor of the 31st ultimo, and thank you lor the complimentary terms in which it is couched. You are quite correct in assuming my unalterable friendship for the land of your birth. All the children ot the American revolution were taught to love the fair land of France, and to revere and honor the great men she sent us, who so freely offered their livee and fortunes in our struggle for freedom. I may, therefore, say that my affection for. France was a hereditary sentiment, and the kindness which I received during my official residence in Paris not only served to create many warm friendships, but to increase my interest in your native land. I offer you, gentlemen, my heartfelt congratulations on the grand achievements of your country during, the century which has passed since its birth to freedom, and my best wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the people of our sister republic in the Old World."

A POUCY INDICTMENT.

Councilman Hybargar's Partner in "Policy" Indieted by the Grand Jury.

HOW THE POOR AND IGNORANT ARB FLEECED.

A Gambling Game Tbat Ranks tbe Lowest of All "Sure Things."

Ira Kisner haa recently given bond of $50 each in two caass in which be was indicted by the last grand jury for selling lottery tickets. The tickets were sold in the policy shop on north Third street, in the room first door south of Weldele's saloon. This joint haa been in operation since before Councilman Hybarger retired as janitor of the government building, and ia conducted by Hybarger and Kisner. It is general!^ understood and conceded that the policy shop is owned by Fsaig and Hybarger and that Kisner represents Fasig ito the business. The room in which the

Bhop

is located was formerly occupied by Patsy Madigan aa a loon. It is a dingy room. The front part of the room, or lobby, is separated from the rear part, or business part, by a thin partition. No loafers are allowed and, therefore, no crowd can be seen that would attract attenion, excepting about the time the "drawings" occur. "Drawing" is the technical term peculiar to lottery gamblioyg^and means that those who have monejy invested in chances can learn at the*' Ume of the "drawing" whether they half won or lost. With but very few Exceptions they always lose. In the gamttef policy there are seventy-eight members. The players bet small or large amounts of money that certain numbers will be drawn from these seventy-eight numbers. The drawings are said to be at JElvansville, and there are two drawings each day. Of the seventy-eight numbers on which the players place their money but twelve are drawn in the morning, and but thirteen in the evening. When the numbers are drawn they are telegraphed to the managers ot the shop here in cipher messages whioh are understood and read by the maaagers here and the numbers drawn are Hlace on a blackboard. The telegrams ate received at 11:00 a. m. and 5:00 p. m., and about those hours the players visit the policy shop to see the board. Since Aut twelve of the seventy-eight numbers are drawn in the morning it ia plain that the chances.are against the players by a large majority, because it is quite possible that none of the numbers drawn have money placed upon them, so unequal are the chances. The afternoon drawing, in which but thirteen of tie seventy-eight numbers are drawiti* the chanoes are better tat the players, inasmuch as one more number is drawn than in the morning drawing. Yet if a player should place money on every number, the chances would be six to one against him, because thirteen is one-sixth of seventy-eight—but onesixth of the numbers are drawn, and it is not possible for more than one-sixth of them to be winning numbers. But tbe chances against the players are still greater on account of the number of players. Each player names the numbers on which he wishes to play his money—usually three numbers. He pays his money and receives a card on which are

hiB

numbers. The players

usually pay five cents for each number, making fifteen cents for the three, although they can play them higher if they choose. If but one of the numbers purchased by any one player is drawn he loses the fifteen cents invested if two of the numbers purchased are drawn, he receives $1.45 for the fifteen cente invested it the three numberspurchased are drawn, he wins almost $20. But the numbers must be drawn in the order in which they are written on the ticket. The three numbers purchased are usually called a row, and. each player usually plays two rows. "Policy" is considered the worst game for the player and the best for the managers of ail gambling games, and is in disrepute even among gamblers. The principal patrons of Hybarger and Kisner's Bhop are colored men and day laborers, who play with but very little money. There has been but very little money won from the shop here—all that haB been heard of being $120 during two weeks about two months ago. The majority of the players say that they have not heard of any one winning from the game.

A policy shop is tolerated in but few communities because it is considered nothing more nor less than robbery, "but tbe police tolerate it here and anumber of the council, who is also a memof tbe police board, is a partner in tbe shop. Of the gamblers who have been called before the mayor by the police, no one connected with the policy shop has been among them. The grand jury found an indictment Bgainst Kisner after examining about fifty witnesses, but did not reach Hybarger. The witnesses before the grand jury testified that Kinser had sold them the tickets, and had taken the money for them, but that they knew nothing of Hybarger's connection with it, exoept that they had seen him there. Dan Crowe, who was in Wsshington, D. C., when the house was leased and who owns the house in which the dive is run said that his son had informed him that the house had been leased to Hybarger. Crowe's son waa in Logansport, attending hia wife, who waa sick, while the grand jury waa in session, and hence Councilman Hybarger escaped. The grand jury had many adversities to overcome to find even the two- indictments against Kisner, while Hybarger, with all the rest of the gamblers, were allowed to go free. The grand jury had good start in the case, and would undoubtedly have found a true bill against Hybarger, but Judge Mack adjourned them. They also had obtained almost allot the evidenoe against the crew on the E. A T. H. that scared Mr. Connelly's team and causing very dangerous injuries to Mr. Connelly and daughter, but the judge adjourned them, saying that the next grand jury would investigate the case more fully. The remark by one of the jurymen that they were handicapped atanda to reason.

BASK BALL-

Ho Game Yesterday Accent of BalaOther Games.

Nine men from the Terre Haute rifles and a picked nine played ball at the park yesterday morning, and the former were victorious by a score of 21 to 9. The same teams played a week ago yesterday, and the latter club won by a soore of 20 to 19. The game yesterday waa remarkable more for the pleasure than for even passable ball playing. Brown, who pitched for the picked nine gave halt the batters first base on balls, and Bichelberg's many errors on first base, for the Rifles, were equally disastrous. The catcher for the Rifles had two balls lying near him at one time, while a third ball waa in play. As the third strike was called on the batter, the catcher unfortunately let%he ball pass back to the grand stand. The batsman started off for first base, and the catcher picked up one of the balls lying near him but threw wild and the runner waa about to make third base when the catcher threw the other ball to third and the^unner was called out. The same teams will try to play next Sunday.

Lafayette is now the weak sister. Snyder, the new catcher for the home club, who waa expected yeeterday, did not arrive.

The game between the Champaign and home clubs was prevented by the rain yeeterday. They expect to play today.

During the progress of the game Mont Schultz, who was catching for the rifles, at the park yesterday morning, was hit in the eye by a foul tip and badly bruised.

The court house and city hall gangs will play, their annual championship game some time this week, it they can avoid the stormB that have Btopped their games this season.

A stock company is being organized at Danville to take charge of the Danville club, and to build a Sunday park outside of the city limits. Tbe Danvilhane will not allow Sunday ball playing within the city and the new park is for use on Sunday.

League Secretary Kilpatrick waa in the city yeeterday, and says he did not strike Preeident Abbott with hia crutch, but with his fist, and that Abbott struck him with a club. Mr. Kilpatrick reports a lively fight and exhibits an ugly wound on his head as the result. He said that Abbott would not pay him $20 which be advanced to the Danvilles to pay their fares from Lafayette to Danville.

Secretary Kilpatrick furnishes the following as the official record of the standing of the clube up to yesterday:

The French people here and at San Luis Patosi are to-day celebrating on a grand scale the anniversary of the fall of the Bastile. They are aided by the authorities ot Cordova.

ArchbiBhop LaBastida is ill. The editor of the Diaro Espanola has been sent to jail for publishing a libelous article concerning the acting Spanish minister.

up their task as a bad job. Mrs. unne was expected to leave the city at 1:30 a. m. yesterday, but the constables were too persistent. Besides the $1,U00 that he received from Mr. Ludowici he received $206 for a horse and buggy from Mr. Samuel Fleming, Saturday morning, or rather Mrs. Dunne received the money. She had purchased the horse from Mr. Fleming several weeks ago and had purchased the buggy from a carriage shop in this city. A few days ago Dunne offered to sell the horse and buggy to Fleming, saying that he did not need tbe money as he had plenty of money but that he intended to be out of the city the greater part Ji. the time and thought that he could hire a horse cheaper than he could keep one. Mr. Fleming suggeeted that Mr. Dunne give him a receipt for the money,so that everything would be sure to be correct, because he had sold the horse to her. He paid $256 for the horse and buggy, but $50 of that amount was reserved to complete the payment for the buggy. There must have been at least a few hundreds of dollars in the family. Dunne is reputed to be a "ladies' man" and a liberal sport by the hackmen—and the hackmen have oppor-' tunity of knowing all the sporting class- 4 es and the class to which each belongs. They place Dunne in the head class., Whether he was a spendthrift or not, he was a "smooth man," and hia creditors can only remember him by what he owes them.

Mrs. Dunne left the city last night on the feast bound passenger, but the constables finally sscured the goods on which they had levied. After Mrs.: Dunne had started toward the depot in the hack, with their colored servant on the driver's seat, the hackman emerged from the alley between Main and Ohio streets, at Seventh street, carrying a valise, which probably contained valuables that the Dunne family were unwilling to be appropriated for debts. Having taken the valise into the hack, the lady and her colored servant proceeded to the train. Where Dunne went from here on Saturdaynight, and where he and his wife will meet is not even surmised.
