TI1E BOYS IN CAMP.

The Governor and Staff and Officers of the First Regiment,

Armstrong's woods, the rendezvous for this year's encampment, is a beautiful wooded land, about four miles north of and just west of Crown Hill cemetery. The place was selected for its admirable situation, it being far enough from the seductive wiles of the city to lessen any desire the men might have to steal away from camp. There will be in camp thirtysix companies of infantry and live of ar tillery, each company averaging between thirty-tive and fifty men. The following is the personnel of the camp, including the governor's staff and the field and staff officers of the First, Second and Thjjd regiments of infantry also the First regiment of artillery: (JOVKRNOR AND STAFF.

HISTORY OF THE MILITIA-

The Indiana Soldier* Since the Clone or the War.

A brief history of the militia of the state from the tima of the close of the war to the present period sho*s a wonderful growth and development, says the Sentinel. After the war, before tha military fever died down, several independent companies were organized, but in few years public interest died out, ani these organizations disbanded. The companies were known under the title of battalion national guards, and the

arate companies were designated by the letters A, B, C, D, etc. These survived for only a short period, the last being burned out in the fire of the old Morrison opera house all ite arms were destroyed. It was not until 1877 that any attempt was made to revive the interest, and at this time the Indianapolis light infantry organized under the old state law, which was the same as adopted in 1861, and known as the "Legion law." This law, with a few amendments, remained in force until March last, when the general assembly passed the present act. George W. Boss, when adjutant general, in the year 1878, succeeded in organizing eight or ten companies. In 1880 James R. Carn ahan succeeded General BUBS aa adjutant general, and during his administration the interest seemed to revive among the ex soldiers and young men. The personnel of most of the companies organized under Carnahan showed men of an advanced age, though the sprinkling of young men was fair. At the close of 1882, the state had enrolled in her active militia twenty-nine companies of infantry, five companies of artillery and one company of cavalry, aggregating 124 officers and 1,710 enlisted men. This did not include the governor's military staff. During the year 1882 an encampmant was held in this city at the exposition grounds, under the auspices of Baper commandery, K. T., drill corps. The business men of the city lt-nt their support and the affair proved a glowing success. In addition to the companies of the Indiana legion, there was present at the encampment twenty-one other military organizationp, representing eight different states, from the INortb and South. Liberal prizes were offered for competitive drills, which attracted some of the very best drilled and very best disciplined companies ef the United States. The encampment gave an added interest to military affairs, the good results being clearly shown, and it was decided to hold a similar encampment in 1883. This time, however, a citizens' association had charge of the affair.

The plan of the 1883 encampment was similar to the one of the preceding year, only it was made distinctively a state affair. Financially it was not so successful, but the drills were all exceedingly fine. At the close of this year the adjutant general's report showed an enrollment of thirty-four companies of infantry, eight companies of artillery, one platoon of Gatling guns and one company of artillery. The total number of enlisted men was 164 officers and 1,812 men.

In 1882 George W. Koontz succeeded General Carnahan as adjutant general. No general enenmpment was held after 1883, but in 1881 regimental encampments were had, the Second regiment going into camp at Richmond and the Third regiment at Peru. This latter was for the most part composed of new companiee, and for many this was the first encampment. At Fort Wayne, in 1885, a state encampment was held and also one at Lafayette in 18S6. Last year the. eulampment of the state troops was held at Evansville. Colonel Nicholas R. Ruckle was appointed adjutant general shortly after Governor Hovey's inauguration and he now holds the position.

During the Beesion of the last general assembly, after several years of hard ulling, anew militia law was adopted, 'he law is a much needed improvement over the old and will doubtless insure a steady and heavy growth of the militia. Among the most important changes from the old form is that an appropriation of $37,000 is annually made to constitute a fund for military purposes. Another important feature is that each man is allowed $1 for each day's attendance at the encampment.

THBY WKKS TOO QUICK.

tne First Decision of an Oklahema Claim Contest Case. GUTHRIE, I. T., July 21.—Register

Dille and Receiver Barnes, of the lagji office at this place, have rendered a de­! cision in the first claim contest case in Oklahoma. The evidence in- the case showed that there were three claimants to the quarter section adjacent to the Santa Fe railroad right-of-way, opposite Oklahoma GJity. The first was Deputy United States Marshal White. l}e was on the grvmnd at noon the day Oklahoma was opened, in his official capacity, andjhe staked his claim at 12:01 m. C. J. Blanchard was on the Santa 'e railroad right-of-way as an employe of the compaiiy. At noon he stepped onto the quarter and drove hia stake. Vestal Cook was in the Chikasaw nation at noon, but with four confederates, who supplied him with relays of horses, he reached the quarter section at 1 o'clock and asserted his claim. Messrs. Dillie and Barnes hold that all of the persons named violated the laws governing the occupation of thelandBby homesteaders, that none of them is entitled to the quarter in question and that they have forfeited-all rights to take and hold homesteads in the Indian Territory.

CLEVELAND, July 21.—A Leader special from Bryan, Williams county, Ohio, says: Hiram Hoadley, jr., three years ago married Miss S. E. Newman, daugh ter of a farmer living near Edgerton. Some unpleasantness between him and his wife led to temporary separation, but last September they again began to live together. At the last term of com mon please court of Williams county Mrs. Hoadley applied for a divorce and alimony, and left her husband, returning to her father's house. This morning Hoadley secreted himself near the premises of Mr. Newman as his wife was going out to milk the cows. He seized her with his left hand and fired three

into her breast and left her

for dead. .Mr. Newman heard the report of the shots and started for the barn when he met Hoadley, who shot the old man three timee once through the heart. Hoadley then returned to where, his wife fell, found her still living, and emptied two more chambers of his revolver—one in her forehead and the other in her mouth and then shot himself, dying about eleven o'clock. He had three revolvers on his person, and it is thought intended to kill the entire Newman family.

AS IT SHOULD BE.

The Wife was Mot Hart, bnt the Husband Is Dead. ST. LOUIS, July 21.—A special to the

Republic from Kirksville, Mo., says: About'three years ago James Sylva apd Miss Buckalew, daughter of a well-known citizen of Kirksville, were united in marriage, and removed to Keokuk, Iowa. About six months ago Mrs. Sylva returned to the patenral roof£stating that her husband would not support her. Yesterday she received a telegram from Sylva, saying he would be in Kirksville to day to kill the family. He kept hia word, arrived this morning, and, going to his wife's father's house, called the wife out ahd asked her: "Allie, will you return to me?" The woman replied in the negative, whereupon Sylva fired on her and she fell. Thinking he had killed bis wife, Sylva turned the weapon on himself and fired a ball into his brain. He will die. Mrs. Sylva was not hurt.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.

OUlcers Fire on Supposed Escaping Prisoners and Kill Another Culprit. CLEVELAND, July 21.—Two prisoners,

W. A. Smith and Bichard N. Mansfield, broke from the county jail last night, going through the

Blate

roof. Deputy

Sheriff Jos. Goldsoll went to the western part of the city, where one of the men lived and with a policeman lay in wait for the fellows. About midnight a carriage containing two men passed along the street. The officers called to the occupants of the vehicle to stop, and after some talk one of the men fired a revolver at the policemen. He and Goldsoll opened fire in return, a half-dozen shots being exohanged. GoldBOII fell at the first volley, shot through the abdomen, and the rig was driven rapidly away. The wounded officer was taken to a hospital, where he now lies in a dying condition, and an hour later the rig, driven by the two men was found a mile from the place of the shooting. In the buggy was the dead body of one of the men. He had been shot through the body. It was at first thought the dead man was Smith, the younger of the prisoners, but those who know Smith utterly failed to identify the corpse to-night. The police are still in the dark. They think, however, that the dead man was up to mischief, for in the buggy were found two revolvers, a club, screwdriver and apiece of rope. The horse, which had bran stolen in the eastern part of the city, was wounded in the hip and the buggy was riddled with bullets. It is believed that the other man was also wounded.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., MONDAY MORNING, JULY 22, 1889.

MR.

HALSTCAD IN PARIS.

A Little Talk About Ohio Senatorial Affairs And the Senate Action on His NomlaaUoa. Special to the New York Herald.

PARIS, July 20.—Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, has been spending a few days in Paris, at the Grand hotel. He leaves to-day for London, to sail on the City of Paris for Am' erica, Wednesday. The Herald correspondent called yesterday to ask him for an interview on the senate's rejection of his appointment to the German mission. Mr. Halstead said: "I have never talked about the affair, and do not wish to say much about it now. Nothing has been heard from me on the subject for the reason that I was ill when the nomination was sent to the Benato by the president. I was ill for four weeks, so I knew very little of what was going on at the time. I did not have brain fever, as was reported. When I began to pay attention to the subject of the senate action my friends had said all that was necessary. The original cause of the trouble came through Senator Payne, father-in-law to ex-Secretary Whitney. The Democrats generally, in my case, opposed the administration, do not think it was good politics in them. 1 have no personal feeling of animoeity toward Mr. Payne, but it was unwise to bring up the issuee of the manner of his election to the senate, which will neceesarily influence the election of his successor. The people ot Ohio will doubtless express and execute entirely their will on the subject. I shall be content with what they do. I feel very much interested in the Ohio campaign. I have no doubt of the triumphant re election of Foraker. I feel myself able to render some assistance in making the Commercial Gazette a warm, effective campaign paper during August, September and October."

Mr. Halstead contioued: "Nobody ever denied that Payne was elected with money except the Cleveland Plain Dealer. I did my share in making that matter hot in Ohio. -When the question came up as to whether the senate should investigate Payne or not, something had to be done. Payne's friends knew if an inveetigation came it would be ruin to him and them. Therefore they had to find some means of evading it. The thing decided upon was to make it personal with me therefore, instead of debating what Payne had done they debated what I bad said, which was an injustice to me. Instead of the election of Payne they debated my literary career and extravagance of language. My friend Evarts even accused me of impetuosity when it came to talking of my fitness for a foreign mission. The senate debate took place on the propriety of alleged language of mine, but which was

ents of the Commercial Gazette—language which I never employed. My own language, in speaking of the senatoj will be found parliamentary. Substantially, therefore, the nomination was rejected by holding me responsible for what was said by others, writing over their own responsible signaturees. But I have no complaint to make. I am well satisfied with the situation. I would rather go home than stay abroad. I think that I represent the American nation best when I come and go at my pleasure and pay my own expenses. I greatly rejoice to be able to go home in good health. Other affairs are to me immaterial in comparison."

DANA SUPPORTS HALSTCAD FOR SENATOR.

The New York Sun Kditor Thinks There Would be Fun in the Senate.

The Hon. Richard Smith, of Cincinnati, was in Detroit the other day, and his eyes snapped with enthusiasm not unmixed with retributive vengeance as he told a reporter that his Btirring and untorrified colleague, the Hon. Murat Halstead, "is going into an honored seat in the United States senate," says the New York Sun. Mr. Halstead's calling and election to that body are regarded by Mr. Smith as perfectly sure.

Taking off a small percentage for Mr. Smith's enthusiasm and poetical temperament, there is still enough to be encouraging in Mr. Halstead's prospects. The Benate, as we have often pointed out, should be the bull's-eye of his ambition. A useless, loafing sort of job like that of minister to Germany, could not have been congenial to one of his impetuous and restless spirit. He must have afield for the outpouring of his energy. Besides, there area number of senators whom he wants to polish off. He would rattle the dry bones in away that would give fun to himself and the country. There is a certain amount of pomposity and affectation about the senate. Many senators seem to think that a solemn and priggish demeanor, an air of being wrapped up in a toga and the destinies of nations, befit their dignity and place. For real majssty of port and a throbbing Bense of self-importance a United States senator equals a village constable and is not far behind the elevator boy.

Now, Halstead iB truly martial and decorative in appearance, but there is no humbug about him. What he thinks that he pours forth in profuse strains of unpremeditated art. He would put hia nervous occidental feet straight through senate screens of pretentiousness and bigwiggery. He would. speak out in meeting every time, and do justice to his voice and his subject though the ceiling fell. And it wouldn't be safe for anybody to try and pull his ear.

There are some dozensof Ohio Republicans who wouldn't shrink from going to the senate if their party called them, but none of them can hope to equal the Cincinnati editor and warrior in pungency, in picturesque effect, in militancy of rhetoric, and in intellectual and personal charm. And he is a veteran whose service deserves reward if he wante it.

We hope that Senator Payne's successor will be a Democrat, butif that is not to be, our blessing goes with the irrepressible and inexhaustible Halstead.

Death of Two Men In a Well. CHICAGO, July 21.—A special to the

News from Hobart, Ind., says: This morning about seven o'clock, on the farm of Henry Hoffman, three miles west of here, a hired man descended a well to take out some meat which had been hung in the well to keep cool, but had fallen to the bottom. He was overcome by foul air and fell in the water. A neighbor named Michael Hafner, who was present, descended on a rope to help him out, and he, too, was overcome and fell to the bottom. The well is forty-two feet deep, and the bodies were not taken oat till2 o'clock this afternoon.

This constitution will furnish an abundance of material for discussion and those who have read it predict that it will be adopted with very few changes.

KANSAS CITY'S DRY SUNDAY.

The Effect it Had In Decreasing the Number of "Drinks." KANSAS CITY, Mo., July 21.—-The Sun­

day law had its designed effect for the first time to-day, since its attempted enforcement 8nd Kansas City was as dry as prohibition KanBas. For three weeks the police have attempted to cloee the saloons on Sunday, but without avail until to-day. Arreets were first made under a city ordinance which provided that no saloon should be kept open within the municipal limits. Convictions could not be had under that ordinance, the police judge holding that saloon keepers who admitted their customers through the side alley doors were not keeping an open saloon. Then the police commissioners ordered that arrests be made under the state or "Downing" law, which makes it a felony to sell intoxicating liquors on Sunday and renders it obligatory upon the part ot the trial judge to revoke the license in every conviction. Forty arrests were made last Sunday under the latter law. Appeals were taken by all of the prisoners from justices to the circuit court and the trials have not yet occurred. To-day Chief of Police Speers placed in the hands of forty-five police officers blank state warranto for the arrest of saloonkeepers who violated the Downing law. The officers were in citizen's clothee and they kept a strict watch upon their respective beate for chances to serve the warrants. Only three of them found the chance. Besides those three then were only five other arrests in the whole city, and but two of those were booked as "drunks." The city was dry.

CINCINNATI SALOONS YESTERDAY

They Were Shut Tighter Than Ever Yesterday. CINCINNAT i, July 21.—It was rumored

yesterday that the saloonkeepers had made a secret combine to defy the law by keeping open to-day. Never since the beginning of the attempt to enforce the Sunday law were the Baloons so generally and so tightly closed as they have in to-day. There have been •»n arrests, all told, and six ot" *st Cieiicaw. barkeepers, representing //c^^ns, and nine were saloonkeepfe*'* Lees than half a dozen of the other offenders were in the heart of the city. The police were very vigilant in carrying out their instructions.

Mr. George Coan, a member of the Law and Order league, and a printer in the employ of Mr. Huston, secretary of that league, visited Eichler's big saloon, near Burnett woods and on the borders of Clifton about noon and made it generally known that he was of the Law and Oraer league, and was there to call on the police to cloee the establishment. Thereupon a crowd of roughB among the customers sat upon Coan, knocked him down and began to beat hitu. The police rescued him before he was badly hurt and took him in a patrol wagon to a place of safety. They then arreeted Eichler, the proprietor, and his four bameepers. There were no other incidents pertaining to saloons worthy of mention. Eichler was found not guilty of a similar offense by a police court jury yesterday. That the saloons were closed to-night, was evidenced by the numerous applications by old soakers at drug stores for whisky. The drug stores were not permitted to sell anything but medicines and soda water with acid phosphate, but without syrup. Not a cigar or plug of tobacco could be had, except clandestinely. Cigar stores that are newstands were allowed to keep open to sell papers. Barber shops were shut up tightly. Altogether it was a quiet Sunday.

In rescuing Mr. Coan, 8t Eichler's garden some of the police were struck with canes by members of the riotous crowd, for which they got knocked down on the spot by official clubs. It is universally understood here that the closing of drug stores and cigar stores, butcher shops, bakeries, etc., is a retaliatory movement by the saloon keepers, inasmuch as the Law and Order league is moving against the saloons only.

-".:v AT DEKR PARK.

The President Goes to au'Episcopal Church —A Denial. DEER PARK, Md., July 21.—President

Harrison heard a sermon to-day by the Rev. E. D. Meade, Episcopalian, on "The Duties of Business Men astDhristians." A passing reference to politics by the preacher was to the effect that the employment of improper agencies in public affairs to counteract similar agencies was never justifiable. The president and his father-in-law, Dr. Scott, remained after services and partook of communion.

Private Secretary Halford says the story about Mrs. Harrison inviting a physician with Kilrain's party, on the occasion of her first trip to Deer Park, to have a glass of wine, was a pure invention.

The president! to-morrow will take up public business, but no appointments are likely to be made.

The World's Labor Congress—The Spanish Government Doesn't .'"T Want the Pope.

LONDON, July 21.—General Boulanger, Count Dillon and M. Rochefort have issued the following manifesto:

To the French Electors: We kave disdained to reply to the absurd calumnies concocted by ministers who have been convicted ot speculation. Our abstention from this odious comedy Is now justified by the Indignant repulsion of attempts to extort from officers of the army lying denunciations of their former chief.

Tnese suborners of witnesses have not hesitated to employ the taxpayers' money to obtain false depositions from jail birds in their very cells at Mazas. These are the miserable prevaricators who accuse their former minister of war of corruption. Public disgust has already condemned, and the Justice of the country will speedily overtake these malefactors.

They appealed to the penal code, but the outcome of their Infamous machinations was that they oould bring absolutely nothing against us. If they could have obtained the most trivial proof they would not thus have risked the asslz* court by negotiating with forgers.

It Is for you, dear fellow-countrymen, to judge between us and these thieves. We await with confidence your sentence, from which these bandits, who feel Its approach, vainly endeavor to escape. Long live regenerated France! Long live the honest republic!
