PARKER’S DODBLE CHIME.’ The Bodies of the Murderer and His Victim at the Morgue. Testimony to the Effect, that Mr*. Parker Did Not Know Her Husband Had a Pistol—A Previous Tragedy. St. Louis, Feb. G. —In the course of the coroner’s investigation of tbe Parker murder and suicide, Mrs. Craft testified that Mrs. Parker was ignorant of the fact that her husband had a pistol. The Republican’s report of the scene at the morgue says: No one could see her as she lay there without pity. There was an instinctive movement on the spectator’s part to uncover the head. She was plainly dressed in some brown stuff, and wore a black cloak with u fringe of heads. The face was that of a woman of 25 or 2G who had seen the hard side of life. The lips were smiling, but there were lines around the corners, sloping downward; dowdward lines around the eyes and furrows just beginning to show in the forehead, above which appeared from under the bandage a fringe of chestnut hair. The face was a pleasant one —an attractive one, even in death, and anv one looking at it would have thought the statement that it was not the face of a good woman a strange one. The dead face at her side was of a different type. The hair was darker, the eyes gray, the nose sharp, the lips thin, the upper one covered with a drooping mustache. It was a haggard face, and there were lines in it drawn, it was not hard to guess, by sickness, dissipation and crime. Both care and crime set on it “their crooked autographs.” There was a horrible discoloration a ound the right eye; a horrible hole on the right side of the head, from which the eye turned with relief. The body was dressed with some approach 10 neatness, for Parker in life and at liberty was generally a careful man in his dress. With all its repulsiveness now, in life and health, his face would have been considered a handsome one.

Immediately after the. killing there was a great deal of mystery, especially in regard to the pistol and the manner in which it was procured. Judge Van Wagoner adjourned court shortly after the shot, and as soon as the bodies were removed the janitors came with their buckets of water and mops to scour up the blood in the jury-room, and on the carpets of the court-room, where it had dripped from the stretchers. The crowd from the courtroom followed the bodies, and there only remained a group of attorneys and officials, who discussed the tragedy. Mr. Jones went into the jury-room and illustrated the manner of its occurrence, giving the position of the. parties. Then the conversation turned on the woman. and Mr. Marshal F. McDonald mentioned how she had taken leave of her baby. “She went there to die,” said Captain Ben Finney, “and there are 5,000 women in St. Louis who would do just as she did. Men are brutes; but if I had to respond to the toast of ‘woman’ at the St. Patrick’s banquet, 1 would want no better illustrutio 1 of her unselfishness and devotion than this given here to-day by this poor little ignorant laundress. As for her husband—him,” said Captain Finney, who is never profane, but whose feelings could find no other vent now, “* * *” Sunday afternoon the wife called at the jail and had an interview with her husband twice as long as usual. It lasted for two hours, and Head Guard McMahon noticed that Parker appeared to be begging her to give her consent to something. She wept and sobbed as lie pleaded with her, but finally became calmer and went away. On returning to her home that evening she was very much depressed. To Sarah Welsh, a girl twelve years old who lived with her. she said that she was tired of going and coming to and from the jail. “Oh, lam so tired of it,” said she. “but Johnny would do the same for me.” Kissing her baby and sitting down by the stove after she had placed it in its cradle, she said: “It’s no use, Sarah, I’ve got to die.” When the little girl asked her why she had to die she looked confused, but answered that it would be better ior her to die as she was not well. The child in its cradle crowed and kicked up its feet. She burst into tears, and taking it in her arms exclaimed: “Oh. no, I can’t die: I can’t die and leave my baby.” When the baby went to sleep she resumed her conversation about dying, saying that she belonged to a lodge which, on her death, would pay her baby SI,OOO and give it a good education; maybe the child would never be worth that i f *iie lived, she reasoned. a previous murder in the same place. This, the second great tragedy in the Criminal Court-room, recalls the first—as great a sensation in its day as this. It was March 17, in the year 1875. and Judge William C. .tones was then on the criminal bench. A negro boy named Charles Woodson was on trial before him for the murder of a boy named Boatwright, son of a detective, who died of an injury caused by a brick sunposed to be thrown by the little darkey while a fight was going on. The brick crushed the boy’s skull so that he died. As Woodson was sitting before the bar, R. I*. W. Boatwright. the boy’s brother passed him, saying as he did so: “You killed my brother, you, and now I will kill you.” From the bench Judge Jones saw him drive a knife into the prisoner’s abdomen as he spoke. Boatwright walked on toward tiie door when Judge Jones followed and overtook him. “You needn’t make foolsof yourselves,” said Boatwright, “I’m not going to try to get away.” He was tried for the crime, but the insanity plea and technicalities saved him.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY MOANING, FEBRUARY 7, ISB3.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Lower House Determined to Stand on Its Prerogative, And Oppose Any Tariff Legislation Originated by the Senate--Mr. Calkins Outlines the Programme. Six Millions for Rivers and Harbors, Exclusive of the Mississippi. The Republican Senator* Decide to Push the Tariff Bill to a Vote—Gold and Silver Coinage for the Past Four Years. A QUESTION OF PREROGATIVE. The House Will Stand on Its Dignity, and Reject the Senate Tariff' Bill. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. . Washington, Feb. 6.—The passage of the ways and ruean3 bill 13 now conceded to be impossible, and the next pertinent subject for speculation and conjecture is. what will the House do with the Senate bill when it comes over from that body? The general impression is that the House will stand upon its prerogative to originate all revenue bills, and refuse to act upon the tariff bill, except to pass upon legitimate amendments to the internal revenue portion, which originated in the House, and strike out everything relating to the revision of the impost or tariff laws. In discussing this matter with a friend, Representative Calkins said: “When it comes before the House, a point of order will he made that an amendment which embraces the tariff is not germane to the subject-matter of the House revenue bill, and the Senate cannot attach an entire tariff system to our bill in the form of au amendment. The point of order will be sustained. We have no objections whatever to the Senate taking its tariff bill and tacking it to the enacting clause of the House bill, but it certainly has no right to originate a .tariff bill, and the House will insist on its rights in the premises. If nobody else raises this point of order, I will do it myself. There is a right and a wrong way of doing business, and it should be done the right way or not at all.”

LABOR AND CAPITAL. Collecting Data Upon Which to Base Necesessary Legislation, Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. YV as Feb. 6. —The Senate committee on education and labor has begun an inquiry into the relations of labor and capital, the causes of strikes, etc., with the view of obtaining data upon which to base legislation, if any shall be found necessary for the prevention of such labor disturbances as have frequently disorganized the business interests of the country during the past ten years. The committee will probably take testimony during the recess in several of the principal cities of the county, and prepare an elaborate report to be presented to Congress in December. At the session to-day, Robert Layton, of Pittsburg, grand secretary of the Knights of Labor of the United States, gave an account of the objects of his organization, and detailed some of the more conspicuous causes of the friction between labor and capital. An amusing incident occurred just before the meeting of the committee. Senator George, of Mississippi, who affects so great love for the' laboring olasses as to forget, sometimes, to he courteous to gentlemen, engaged in conversation with one of the Knights of Labor, assuring him of the warm personal interest lie took in the welfare of the laboring man. and his regret that he could not devote sc much time as he could wish to the hearing; “But you know,” added the overworked Senator, apologetically, “we Senators have a great deal of drudgery to perform aside from our duties in the chamber. Our correspondence, for instance; why, sometimes we have as many as half a dozen letters a day to answer.” With a quiet smile his auditor nodded qpsent, but later remarked to a journalist: “If the Senator had known that, as secretary of our organization, 1 frequently have one hundred letters to answer in a single day, he might have illustrated with some other form of drud - e ry” NOTABLE WEDDINGS. The Coppinger-Blaine Nuptials—The Story of the Courtship. Washington, Feb. G.—Miss Alice Blaine, daughter of ex-Secretary Blaine, was to-day married, at her father’s residence in this j city, to Brevet Colonel John J. Coppinger, of the United States Army. The ceremony was performed by Rev. l)r. Chappelle, of St. Matthew’s Catholic Church, and was witnessed by a brilliant assemblage of ladies and gentlemen prominent in Washington society. Among them were President Arthur and all the members of the cabinet now in the city; the Justices of the Supreme Court, a large number of senators and members of the House of Representatives, and nearly all the members of the diplomatic corps, together with the ladies of their respective families, and many officers of the army and navy. Colonel Coppinger is now on General Pope’s staff as inspector-general of the department of the Missouri, with headquarters at Fort Leavenworth. Ilis army position is major of the Sixteenth regiment of infantry. He is about fifty years old, and is .said to have been a member of the Papal Guards, iu Rome, for a number of years,

and was brought to America by Cardinal MeCloskey, through whose influenee he was assigned a position in the army. He is an Irishman, and a devout Catholic. He met Miss Blaine, who is just turned twentyone, while the iatter was on a visit to friends fit Fort Leavenworth, Kan. She is a strongminded woman, resembling her father in his most masculine characteristics, but inheriting very little of that magnetic force which attracts to him a devoted and enthusiastic following. It is said that even on the frontier, where women are as scarce as angels’ visits, she was not “popular,” as the phrase goes. Added to her very plain personal appearance were eccentricities of manner that were not pleasing to the gallant young officers at the fort. But-she met one man who saw in her what he had been waiting for through thirty long yerrs of single disappointedness. He proposed and was accepted. All this happened a year ago, and neither ex-Secretary Blaine nor his wife ever -nw the gallant Colonel until about a month ago. The talk in social circles is that he used all of his persuasive powers to induce his daughter to break off the match, hut the eloquence and irresistible force with which he has so often overborne all opposition in the halls of Congress, were powerless before the will of his resolute daughter. She quietly but firmly refused to consider any proposition that involved the canceling of her troth, and, finding her obdurate, liks a sensible man her father yielded to the inevitable. But there arose another difficulty. Colonel Coppinger, as has been said, is a devout Catholic, while Miss Blaine is a Protestant. The Catholic church forbids the marriage of one of Romish faith to a non-Catholic within consecrated walls. They could not be married in church, and, as he insisted that a priest should officiate, the ceremony wa3 performed at the Blaine mansion. The Colonel and his bride will leave for Fort Leavenworth on Wednesday morning.* Miss Brewster’s Marriage. Washington, Feb. 6.—Miss Mary Brewster, daughter of the Attorney-general, was married, to-night, at Epiphany Episcopal Church, this city, to Robert J. W. Coons, of Philadelphia. There were ten bridesmaids, one of them 9 daughter of Senator Miller, of California: ten ushers, and a best man for the groom. The large church was filled with invited guests, including President Arthur and many other persons of High position iu the official and social life of Washington. The wedding reception was held soon afterward at the residence of the bride's parents. A large proportion of the diplomatic corps and most of tne army ami navy officers, who subsequent }y attended the President’s special reception, were present at this wedding, and their official costume made it uncommonly brilliant. The President’s carriage, while ho and Bis daughter were on their way .0 the church, was run into by a carriage in the rear, and the pole of the latter broke through a panel, hut did not strike either of the occupants. On his return from church, however, the wheels of President Arthur’s carriage became locked with those of several others, and finding his already damaged vehicle could not be extricated without long delay, the President abandoned it and walked home with his daughter through the rain. The occurrence created some excitement, and gave rise to a number rumors as to the Pi&ident’s safety.

THE STAR-ROUTE TRIAD. Striking Display of Wit Between Mr. Ingersoll and a Witness. Washington, Feb. 6.—ln the star-route trial, Thomas W. Steele, of Virginia, testified in regard to the route from Treslamos to Clifton. Mr. Bliss put in the official papers connect- and with a California route from Julian to Colton. John C. Hayes, a sub-contractor, testified that one of Minor’s letters to the witness proposed a reduction of the schedule to thirtysix hours, which could not be secured because Brady insisted on a twenty-six hours’ schedule. Minor also said it was a mistake to suppose increase and expedition could be secured solely through the efforts of persons living near the route. It required special labor here (at Washington), and considerable expense as well. A question put by the court relative to the number of extra horse3 required led to a discussion. Mr. Davidge asserted that the fallacy shown by the government in the whole case had been in the assumption that the number of stock on a route in use at any one time was •large enough to stock that route for four years. The Court sarcastically asked why they should not count the cook, who waited on the carriers. He contended that the postal regulations meant, only men and horses actually employed in carrying the mail. In response to Mr. Davidge, the Court said ft would not pass upon the question at this time. The witness Beigner was recalled by the government, and corroborated the testimony of the preceding witness as to the number of stock required on a route. His crossexamination by Mr. Ingersoll caused much amusement. He placed the average life of a horse at twenty-five years, but finally admitted that the only horse of that age that he possesed had been given his libertv. Mr. Ingersoll—And what is he doing now? Is he picking out a grave? Witness—Don’t know; never asked him that question. [Laughter.] The witness said he had carried the mail for fourteen years without losing a horse; had two extra horses, but did not need them. Mr. rngersoll—What is the breed of your horses? Answer—California horses. Question —Would you sell your horse? Mr. Bliss—l object. Mr. Ingersoll—l never had such an opportunity to buy a horse before. Mr. Bliss—l don’t want the witness to be taken in. Mr. Ingersoll—l don’t want to cheat him. Well, if men are not immortal, horses are. After reading a number of official papers connected with the route from Silverton, Col., to Parrot City, the sixteenth route of the indictment, the* court adjourned. THE TARIFF OUTLOOK. Republican Senators Assemble in Caucus and Decide to Urge the Hill. Washington, Feb. 6. —Late this afternoon a caucus of Republican senators was held for the purpose of consulting as to the course to be pursued by the Republicans relative to the pending tariff bill. The time selected for the conference was especially favorable to secrecy. The last hour of the session having been devoted to eulogies, but few f senators were in their seats at the hour of adjournment, while the press gallery was empty, and no one, aside from those who participated, seema to have been aware that

the caucus was held till some hours subsequent. The subject of tariff legislation was fully discussed. In the light of the recent intimations from the House that no tariff bill can pass that body at this session, and the opinion prevailed that the Senate should not he influenced to deviate from its present line of policy through any apprehension that the House might refuse to accept its work, it was resolved to continue consideration of the bill during the remainder of the week and to make a vigorous effort to secure its completion. The facts that substantial progress had been made during the past week, and ‘ that conciliatory temper had replaced the first fervor of opposition with which the attempt of the Republicans to hold the Senate to daily sessions and extra labors was met, were cited as substantial reasons for pursuing the same policy. But one. opinion was expressed as to the necessity for tariff legislation and for definitive action to quiet the agitation and reassure the business interests of the country. The Republicans would be held responsible for originating the pending tariff discussion, and it was their duty to continue to press the bill so long as any possible chance ior its passage remained. The unanimous sentiment was that the Senate should not abandon tiie bill on account of any doubt that might be felt as to what the House would do with it. The feeling was very hopeful for the early passage of the bill, some senators being of opinion that by setting late each evening the bill could be completed by Saturday night. GOLD AND SILVER. Coinage ami Circulation of the Metals During Four Years Past. Washington, Feb. 6.—Secretary Folger received, a few days since, from Representative Dinglev, of Maine, a letter containing a series of inquiries with regard to the coinage and circulation of gold and silver in the United States up to the Ist of February, 1883. Secretary Folger referred the communication to Mr. Burchard, Director of the Mint, and the latter has just replied by letter, in which he answers the several questions propounded as follows: “First—The coinage of silver dollars from March 1, 1878, to Feb. 1, 1883. was $135,405,080. “Second—Of these silver dollars, 38.874,110 were in circulation on the Ist 01 February, 1883. “Third—The amount of silver certificates outstanding Feb. 1, 1883, was $72,745,470; amount in the Treasury, $4,306,650, leaving in circulation $68,438,820. “Fourth—The price of silver bullion at London on Feb. 1, 1883, was 50?*d, British standard, which equals, with exchange at par. $1.10.97 per ounce fine silver. “Fifth—The value of silver bullion contained in the standard silver dollar was 93.46 cents on the Ist of March, 1878, and 85.31 cents on the Ist of February, 1883. “Sixth—On the Ist of March, 1878, the value of the gold coiif and bullion in the Treasury was $125,988,859, and of silver coin and bullion $8,631,071; while on the Ist of February, 1883, the value of the former was $173,317,833, and of the latter. $128,428,171. “Seventh—The amount expended from March 1. 1878. to Sept. 30, 1882, in getting silver dollars into circulation—that is, paid for transportation—was $319,071. ‘Eighth—The amount expended'in providing vaults for silver coin since March 1, 1878, is $93,620. “Ninth—lt is impossible to state how much has been paid during the same period for transportation of gold coin from the mints to the offices of the assistant treasurers. “Tenth—Nothing has been expended since March 1, 1878, in providing vaults especially for gold coin.” THE COMMITTEES. The River aud Harbor Bill—The P acing of General Graut on the Retired List. Washington, Feb. 6.—The House committee on commerce has practically completed the river and harbor bill, though some matters of detail and arrangement remain, aud the items for the Mississippi river will not be finally fixed in the bill in advance of receipt of the report of the special Mississippi river committee. The commerce committee has carefully examined each of the ninety items objected to in the report of the Secretary ot War, concerning last year’s river*and harbor bill, and in some cases has recommended appropriations for the same objects. The committee does not make any recommendation for beginning new works, but all are for money to carry forward improvements on which the government has already expended large sums, as, for instance, at the harbors of Baltimore, Savannah, Galveston, Oakland and such other points as appear, from the engineers’ reports, to demand appropriations, With the exception of the Mississippi improvements, the amounts recommended do not exceed 30 per cent., of the engineers’ estimates. The whole amount called for by the bill will be about $6,000,000 exclusive of the Mississippi river appropriation. The House committee on military affairs has practically agreed upon the terms of the bill to place General Grant ujrtm the retired list of the army, with the rank of general. The chairman has been instructed to prepare a report in favor of the bill, to he submitted to the committee on Thursday. The minority report will probably be signed by two or three members. TIMBER LANDS. The Bill Introduced by Mr. Valentine for Regulating tlic Sale of the Same. Washington, Feb. 6.—Among the bills introduced in the House is one by Mr. Valentine, of Nebraska, to regulate the sale of timber lands in tbe United States. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to withdraw from market the fine timber lands remaining undisposed of, which are chiefly valuable for pine timber of merchantable value, to employ a sufficient number of examiners skilled in woodcraft to make an examination of the pine lands already surveyed and report a full description of them, giving the quality of the soil, the springs and streams ! of water, the quality and quantity of pine j and other timber growing thereon, the distance from navigable streams or railroads, afid such other matters tending to fix the value of lands. It provides that a copy of this report shall be filed at the Local Land office and a copy witli the Secretary of the Interior. It makes it a crime for any examiner to file a false report, punishable by fine and imprisonment for the making and filing of the reports. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to offer the lands for sale in the manner now prescribed by law, but the notice of sale shall contain a description by legal subdivisions and the quality and merchantable value of the lands. The reports of the examiners are to he at all ■ times open to inspection. Any lands offered j
