with 'Miner. Witness made some change*in the amounts proposed to be bid. but did not change the bids themselves. Rembered that he changed two sets of figures in this wa y—on the Bismarck-Tongue river and Da lies-Baker City routes. Witness suggested a change in the figures on the latter route, hut did not recollect its character; probably Boone’s recollection was better than his (witness’s) in that matter, whan he said the figures had been reduced S3OO. W itness explained his reasons for suggesting a reduction on the two routes named, saying lie felt confident that the rapid growth and development of the country would make them paying through increased freight and passenger business. Mr. Merrick inquired if he had made these reductions to benefit other men. Witness reiterated his answer that he only made suggestions, and did not make reductions. But it turned out, said the witness, that he was not infallible, for he had been informed by Miner and Vailc that the DallesBaker City route was a bad investment, and tiiey had to pay the sub-contractors more than they received from the government for the service. Witness said he smoked a cigar sometimes in Miner’s room, but denied positively that he had participated in the work of preparing bids. Witness had no expectation of getting the Dallas-Baker City route expedited when he suggested the reduction; did not bolieve he knew anything about expedition at that time. Witness bad no knowledge of the spoiled bid spoken of by Boone, and the gentleman would have to ask Miner about that. Mr. Merrick —Will I have a chance? A.—You will. The Court—You are laying out a good deal of work for us. Mr. Pavidge—They called for the defendants, Your Honor. Witness said if a bid had been spoiled and a new one returned with Peck's signature within a few minutes, someone else must have signed it, witness did not. Did not know whether or not Boone had him keen John Dorsey and Miner away because they were stupid and interfered with business; did not think the remark would apply to the persons named. Explaining his reasons for taking an active part in business after July. 1879, witness repeated what lie had said upon the direct examination about protecting bonds, and added that he had indorsed notes for his partners to the amount of $20,000, which had been used to secure certified checks for deposit in the Postoffice Department. If they had failed to put on the service these notes would have come back upon him. The notes were given to the Vermont National Bank of Bt. Albans, and the Second National Bank of Santa Fe. Witness then related how Peck A Miner had failed in their attempts to get bondsmen, and how he had finally induced George Evans to go on their bond. Peck’s failure had been caused bv ill health and inability to attend to business, otherwise he might have secured any amount of bonds. Could not now recollect his reason for mentioning Peck’s name to Postmaster Haycock (bis intimate friend) when he sent blank bonds. An apparently personal letter from John Dorsey to witness was acknowledged by the latter to he genuine, but he said: “I do not see how it got into this case.” Mr. Ingersoll—-‘‘Mr. Rerdell kept it as a voucher.” [Laughter.] Mr. Merrick—There seems to have been a distribution of papers between you, and some of them showed have been in the custody of the other. In the letter John Dorsey says he is glad that Vailc lias bought out. Witness said his recollection was that he wrote his brother that Vaile had cut him out, and that John Dorsey had misunderstood it. He could not have said “bought out.” because it was not so. When witness returned to Washington in December he found that Vaile had filed subcontracts. “Vaile was trying to swindle the whole party, was he not?” A. “I don’t know' that lie was; I was annoyed at the time, but afterward I saw he could not have done otherwise than file subcontracts to cut off drafts.” Witness had not seen that, letter since he sent it to John Dorsey. He was pressed to produce the letter or state its contents, but waving his hand, he said. “I have no recollection of such little rubbish as that.” Mr. Merrick—“We have to look into rubbish to find certain tilings.” Mr. Davidge—“And you don’t find them here.” Witness supposed that the letter produced by Merrick (from John Dorsey) had been stolen in 1878, but declined to say who stole it. “You mean Rerdell, don’t you,” inquired Merrick. A contemptuous laugh was the witness’s only answer. Mr. Merrick repeated the question, and witness said Rerdell seemed to have been w r eil pleased with the letter. He refuse*! to return any more definite answers. He said he regarded that letter as perfectly innocent, and attached no importance to the question. Mr. Merrick— I ‘‘You don’t seem to attach much importance to any of niv questions.” Witness—-I don’t know; l should think th at nobody else won id.” Witness said be had examined his letterbook': that they were much mutilated; some one had gone through them and cut out about 690 pages. Had seen some of the papers since then in this trial. The hooks were now ttt witness’s house, but had been • •ffered under restrictions in evidence in court and rejected a few days ago. Mr. Merrick read in evidence a letter to T. J. Brady, dated March 4. 1879. signed by witness for Peck and John Dorsey. Dorsey vs that being duly empowered to act for Peck and John Dorsey, l.c protests against the sub-contracts on file in the name of 11. M. Vaile, demands that they he canceled after April 1. and that no sub-contracts be filed upon their routes, except those in the Indian Territory, unless under power of attorney. Witness said Peck and John Dorsey were in ignorance of Vaile’s operations, and sub-contracts had been given to Vaile by Miner, acting for Peck and John Dorey. Thought lie firt learned of the filing of the contracts in December, 1878. Mr. Merrick inquired why he had waited till March before writing to Brady. “For this simple reason (1 don’t know what you are trying to reach); John Dorsey and Peek being absent, and 1 in the Senate, I thought it would be an improper thing for me to do while 1 was in the Senate.” Witness tlKnight he had his authority to write the letter in the winter of 1878-79. Did not assume control of the business without authority. Had a power of attorney upon fcvery route, but could not say whether he iiad them before March 4. Mr. Merrick began an inquiry in relation to the letters of authorization. Witness did not know where the letters were, and insinuated that the assistant counted was better informed. Mr. Merrick—Wiio do you mean? A.—Rerdell. Q. —Is he assistant counsel? A. (laughingly)—l should judge so. Q. —Do you know what Rerdell ia doing? A.—l can see him sitting there. Mr. Merrick (sarcastically)—Your eyeiHit is not so bad. after ail. Witness —I can see some small things. Mr. Merrick—J congratulate witness on ihe good effect exercised by Rerdell on his eyesight; he should he glad that lie is here. The court —Good forsoreeyes. [Laughter.] Adjourned till Monday.

STATE NEWS AND GOSSIP. Arrest. In Washington for Rape and Murder Committed in Colorado. Warrick County Furnisher Another Tragedy at Nevrburg—Murder Near Fort Wayne —The ltoouville A flair, INDIANA. An Old Citizen of Seymour Found Dead in a Vault. Seymour Daily Lever, 30tli. Our community was thrown into a state of terrible excitement, a little after noon to-day, by the discovery of the remains of Michael Burkhardt, sr., one of our wealthiest and best-known citizens, in an open vault in the rear of the lots formerly occupied by the old Faulkconer House. Mr. Burkhardt was last seen about 7 o’clock, yesterday evening; but, as he was in the habit of occasionally being absent from home, no particular uneasiness was felt for his safety until this forenoon, when inquiry and search was instituted by his friends. Just after dinner, Lewis Godfrey remembered the open pitfalls referred to above, and, repairing to the spot, he was horrified to find the body immersed in the water and filth, with only a portion of the back of his head exposed to view. The remains were at once taken out and removed to his late residence, where Coroner Brown is now engaged in holding an inquest, which will probably result in determining the cause of his death. Os course nothing is known as to the exact time or manner of the sad occurrence; but as the unfortunate man had long been in feeble health, and was subject to sudden and severe attacks of vertigo, the general supposition is that, being overcome by sudden sickness and bewildered by the darkness and blinding rain, in making his way to his home, he stumbled into the terrible excavation and was drowned. There is some excitement and many wild rumors this afternoon, occasioned by the belief entertained by some that the supposed fact that certain unknown parties held “graveyard” insurance on the old gentleman’s life indicates foul play, but nothing lias been developed to strengthen this opinion. Mr. Burkhardt was a native of Germany, but bad been a resident of Seymour for twenty-five years. He was formerly engaged in wagon-making, but retired from business about ten years ago. He was a man of generous impulses and genial manners, enjoying the confidence and respect of all who knew him, and, so far as we know, had not a known enemy in the world. He leaves a wife and four children, two by a former marriage, and the family has the sincerest sympathy of the entire community. RhelbyviUe News, special to tlio Indianapolis Journal. Shelbyvillk, March 30.—James Goulding, doing business on South Harrison street, was robbed of a valuable watch and chain this afternoon, while sitting asleep in his place of business. Thomas F.

Mr. Taylor came to this city as an orphan, and resided with the late Alonzo Biair; but afterward, being identified by his parents, he returned to the East. Killed His Son-in-Liur. Special to tlio Indianapolis Journal. Evasnville, March 30. —Warrick county comes to time to-day with a second tragedy. At Newburg, this afternoon at 3 o’clock, Remus Harrington shot and killed Lyman Gillian, his son-in-law. The weapon used was a shotgun loaded with buckshot. Gillian died instantly. The fatal affair grew out of trouble between Gillian and his wife. Harrington sided with his daughter, took her home, and forbade her husband the house. Notwithstanding this, Gillian went there this afternoon, and was received with a load of lead. Harrington is under arrest. Murder Near F <rt. Wayne. Special t<\ tlio Indianapolis Journal. Fort Wayne, March 30.—At a lonely wood-chopper’s cabin, on the line of the Peru, Fort Wayne<fcChicago railway, seven miles west of this city, was found this morning the body of Louis Laurent, aged twentytwo years, with his head gashed with an ax, which was found with the body in the cabin. He had been paid S6O by his employer three days ago. The sheriff arrested one Sam McDonald, this evening, who has been working with Laurent. The prisoner is reticent. The lioonville Tragedy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, March 30.—Tom Wallace, the young man shot in the Boonville affair, is still alive, but sinking rapidly. Simon Williams is in jail here for safekeeping, and made a statement to-day, in which he charged that he was being pursued by Wallace and his son and acted in self-defense, lie has no fear, he says, of a mob. An extra guard is on duty at the jail to-night Arrested for R;ne and Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Wash i noton’, March 30.—The sheriff of this county arrested Frank Claiborn, of Canon City, Col., here to-day, on a charge of committing a rape on an eleven-vear-old girl and shooting her father dead, at that place several weeks ago.

Wildnian will transfer the office of collector of the Eleventh Indiana district on to-morrow, to Captain Kirkpatrick, of Kokomo. The Major has held this important and responsible position just sixteen years. He lias had business and official relations with thousands of people during this period, and collected for the government millions of dollars. It is a matter of the greatest satisfaction to himself and friends that this vast business has been conducted in such a way os to preserve and maintain the dignity of the government, the integrity of officials nnd the good will of the nnblic. We believe, that it can be truthfully said that the national treasury has not lost a dol-

lar through Mr. Wiluman’s management of his district. He will take leave of official life bearing the respect and confidence of his superiors in office, the active regrets of all those persons in the old district with whom he has had official relations, and above all with the self consciousness that lie has brought to bear in the discharge of difficult and onerous duties his best ability, and that a perfectly clean record is of itself woriby of a noble ambition. Captain Kirkpatrick will probably remove the office at once to Kokomo. Major Wildman has not vet determined as to his future. The Wailace-llice Episode in the Lafayette Slander Suit. Lafayette Courier. It was a long time before the excitement lulled sufficiently to allow the trial to progress. It was the most extraordinary scene ever witnessed in a court room. It beggars description, and approached very near the ragged edge of a tragedy. At one time it iookeu as if there was no other way out of the excitement, than by bloodshed. The most intense feeling prevailed—faces blanched, and there was an instinctive hippocket movement that gave every body away. Had the counsel for the plaintiff withdrawn their objections, there would, beyond a doubt, have been an appalling tragedy to record, for in case ot n negative answer from Rice, Seawright would have been immediately placed upon the stand. Minor Notes. A Greenshurg cow recently gave birth to a calf with two heads, four eyes, six legs and two lulls. Tlic trustees of the Y. M. C. A , of Logansport, have decided to close that institution to-day. The rcusons have not been given. Mrs. M.

Railroad Company for $5,000, damages sustained bj* a collision with his buggy some time ago. The prospects for the Southern Indiana Teachers’ Association exposition, at Washington, are Raid to le excellent. The opening address will be delivered by Professor Jordan, of the State University. Hon. John B. Stoll will remove with his family to South Bend and take charge of the Times, which ho has recently bought. Ho will continue to edit the Ligouicr Bauuer, and has leased the Elkhart Mouitor. Burglars entered the store of J. K. Snyder, at Fountuiatowu, in the northern part of Slieiby count}’, a few nights ugo, and blew open the safe, securing money, valuables and goods amounting to S6OO. Washington Irving’s anniversary will bo observed by the young ladies of DePauw College, New Albany, with literary exercises. The occasion occurs April 3, and a very attractive program me lias been arranged. The Jeffersonville News says there is a farmer in Clark county who owns over 1.500 acres of land. He can neither read nor write nor make figures, yet If you buy a beef or fat hog or him be can tell you quickly to a cent how much it comes to. At Lexington, Scott county, on Wednesday night, a wholesale burglary took place. Four or five stores, two saloons and the postoffice were entered by thieves, und a number of postagestamps and a large sum of money were lukeu. There is no clew to the perpetrators. A couple went to tlio clerk of the court at Lawrence.burg, on Tuesday, to obtain a marriage license, tlie woman swearing that she was a disinterested witness, ami signing the uffidavir. They afterward went to u justice and were married, the woman giving a different name, oomtnitling perjury. She was a widow with several children,while the groom was said to he wealthy. Hon. nirani 8.

Bloomington, March 30.—Bloomington is to have new gas-works by Sept. 1, at a cost of $75,000. The parties who have determined to establish the works are Messrs. Martin, Hauk & DeSarmaux, of Springfield, 0., all connected with the firm of Mast, Foos & Cos., the millionaire manufacturers. Not long ago they purchased the recently discovered natural gas well of Bloomington for $20,000, and propose to utilize it if it proves %o be practical to do so, as it now seems. If it does not they will erect regular coal gas-works. Personal Paragraphs. Special to tlio Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, March 30.—Professor Ed. James, who has for some years been a member of the faculty of the State Normal School, at Normal, has been appointed to the chair of finance and administration in the Wharton School of Philosophy, at Philadelphia. He is only twenty-seven years old, and is a graduate of Heidelberg. He sails for Europe on Wednesday next. To-day* there was a very interesting scene in the McLean Circuit Court, the occasion being a farewell to two prominent members of the bar, Walter M. Hatch nnd William B. Carlock, the former going to California, and the latter to Dakota. The whole bar was present, and resolutions were passed expressive of regret. Brief Mention. One of the most prominent farmers near Litchfield, on being interviewed on the condition of the wheat crop. Rays that on looking over hi* own fields he found, oil exposing the roots of the poorest lookiug wheat, ihat they were apparently in good condition and beginning to semi out shoots. 110 states that, in his opinion, with the prospects, there will be a full yield. At Vatidalin, a German named Roman Rover, was found Thursday morning lying on the floor near his bed witli lii* neck broken. Tlio supposition is that while in a fit of apoplexy, to which lie was subject, he pitched out of bel, striking his head in such a manner as to hendit under his body, in which position lie was found. The decease l was sixty-two years old, unmarried and served iu the lata war. A Globe-Democrat special from Sparta, 29th, says: “Your issue of yesterday contained an item front someone hero relative to the prospect for wheat crop. The writer is despondent without reason. It is true that a number of fields look bad, but we have often seen fine crops from less promising appearances. Between tliis point and Chester much of the wheat looks well. West of the Okaw river it looks better still. The appearunce is lather hopeful than otherwise. DEMOCRATIC STUPIDITY. How the Legislature Looks to a Former Indiana Democrat. Kansas City Star (Edited by a former Fort Wayne Editor.) The Indiana State-house will remain at a standstill probably for two years, with an average of half a million of dollars in the hands of the Treasurer of State to the credit of the “new State-house fund.” The whole session of the last Legislature just brought to a close, as we learn from the Indianapolis papers, seems to have been spent in political scheming for the benefit of politicians at the expense of taxpayers, while the important matters that most concern the people were entirely ignored. Among other tilings we noticed that what appeared on its face a very desirable proposition for the State, a bill for the completion of the new State-house, now about to be abandoned by the contractors. It was claimed that the proposition contemplated the completion of the two wings of the building in time for the occupancy of the next Legislature, and the whole building com* fileted in four years, at a total cost, inducing whut has already been expended, of some

$40,000 less than two millions of dollars, which, if we recollect correctly, is the extreme limit fixed by law. But there seemed to be no political ring to engineer it through the Legislature, and the proposition could not, therefore, be entertained, to the conse- \ quent great disadvantage of the State’s ma- j terial interests. Now, the way we read it, there seems to be money in it for somebody, but not for the ! State. The treasurer of the State is said to | be receiving from 4% to 6 per cent, on the money, thus realizing some $40,000 or $50,000 j by this shrewd system of legislative financiering. Os course he is not supposed to be | to blame for that, but as he is represented to be a tender-hearted, clever gentleman, he will not refuse to do the fair thing by those whoso kindly and thoughtfully brought about such happy results. However this may be, the collection of taxes goes on all the same, while two or three stories of the unfinished capitol of the State, that is needed ' so badly, stands for years a conspicuous monument of political huckstering and stupidity. BILLIARD EXPERTS. Interesting Game Between Sexton ami Dion—Other Games. CniCAOo, March 30.—1n the afternoon game of the balk-line tournament, Daly defeated Wallace in a well-contested struggle. Both were in good form, but Daly, who was the favorite, 100 to 60, was stronger in the general play. He ran 90 from the lay-off, and took a commanding lead, which, however, was reduced materially by Wallace in the twentieth inning with a run of 139. Daly soon after raced away with 70. and Wallace could not overtake him. Daly finished slowly at his ease. Score: Dal v—9o. 0, 28. 1, 0. 1,0, 40,1, 1. 13. 43. 16, 2,1, 22, 1, 32, 6, 44, 3. 4. 2, 49, 3,0, 0,0, 4. 0, 3, 28, 0,0, 70. 0. 0,5, 0. 38, 14, 1, 8. 14, 1,1, 0, 8, 2—total, 600.

The meeting of Sexton and Dion for the first time at the balk-line, to-night, devolved into a stubborn and interesting contest. The attendance was large, with a larger number of ladies than on any previous occasion. The animosity existing between the two men made eacli one alert and aggressive in the matter of claiming points and advantage, and both were strung up to high tension. It was a fast and desperate race from start to finish, the score being tied many times. The great event was Sexton’s run of 166 in his fortieth inning, which carried him within eleven points of the game, and was, in respect of variety and brilliancy combined—the finest performance of the tournament thus far. Dion, 503; highest run, 71; average, 10 3-19. Sexton, 600; highest run, 166; average, 12 12-49. Moody’s Mare’s Nest. To the Editor of tlio Indianapolis Journal: D. D. Moody’s late card in the Sentinel fails to fill a long-felt Republican want, but it does show the kind of fodder the average Democrat feeds upon. No wonder the party is so hungry. The act of the Legislature referred to by Moody, and mentioned in Tarlton against Peggs in 18 Indiana, page 24, was not passed in 1863 at all, but such an act was parsed in 1861. The bill was known as House bill No. 133, and if Mr. Moody will take the trouble to examine the House journal of 1861, page 974, he will find the following message from the Governor: “Mr. Speaker—l am directed by the Governor to inform the House that he has approved and signed House bill No. 133.” This is the bill that Mr. Moody probably means to call attention to. An examination of the journals of the Legislature for March 11, 1861, will satisfy any intelligent person that no bills were passed by the General Assembly of 1861 or by either house on the last day of the session. Again: Even if the statement made by the Secretary of State in regard to the law referred to in 18 Indiana was correct, Mr. Moody’s case is not helped thereby, because the Secretary doe3 not srate that the law was passed on March 11, 1861, but that it was filed in his office on that day without the approval of the Governor, which is a very different thing. Eye Ron. New Albany. Recipes. Cornmeal Muffins. —Stir two cupfuls of cream or milk with the yolks of three wellbeaten eggs. Sift together one cup of flour, two cups of yellow Indian meal, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful’of salt, one tablespoonful of yellow sugar. Stir in the milk and eg<rs. Beat well "together. And lastly the well-beaten whites. Four in well-buttered muffin-rings. Bake in a wellheated oven, and serve as soon as baked. Raisin Pie. —Raisin pie, which is preferred by many people to grape pie. is made of one cup of crackers, rolled very fine, one cup of cold water; the juice and rind of one lemon, one cup of raisins, stoned and chopped very fine, and one heaping teacupful of sugar. Beat these thoroughly together, and add one egg the last thing. Bake with a thin upper and tinder crust; mb the top crust with the white of an egg or with a little milk with sugar dissolved in it; bake in a moderate over., and brown the pie by setting it on the shelf in the oven. Omelet Plain. —Five eggs are enough to use in a medium-sized sauce pan. Beat two v oiks and whites separately, add two tablespoons of new milk to the yolks, a little salt, stir together, have the pan very hot, put in a lump of butter the size of an egg. As soon as melted pour the yolks into the pan, and then whites; toss the eggs carefully together with a silver fork, shake the pan until the eggs begin to thicken, leave the omelet two or three minutes to brown, then loosen the edges with a knife, fold ovt-r, then turn on a hot platter. Serve immediately. Mock Turtle Soup.— Take part of a calf’s head, remove the brains, rinse the head in several waters, and then let it soak in cold water for an hour. Prepare four quarts of beef stock, put this in a large soup-kettle, put the head in, and let tliis cook slowly for an hour and a half. Then take out all the meat from it and return bones and meat both to the soup. Fry in butter till brown a large onion which you have sliced very thin; add this to the soup, witli some pieces of carrot, turnip, parsley, if you can obtain it, some celery, and any herbs, such as sage or summer savory, if you like them in soup. The secret of success in making this is to cook It long enough, and it should be cooked slowly. The scum should be skimmed off at an early stage in the preparation of the dish, and the soup must be strained before it is served. One authority on this so up says that a lemon sliced and added to it a few minutes before removing from the fire is an improvement. This soup can be made in a large quantity, as it keeps well, and is thought by some cooks to be better the second or third day. A lady of San Francisco lately received some plants from Mexico, and with the plants came the advice to fertilize them with waste coffee and coffee grounds. This was done, nnd the results were so satisfactory that the same treatment was tried on roses, and the result was* a healthy and vigorous growth and more and better flowers, und of rarer colors.

An Internal Revenue Officer Saved. Puovipencil Aug. 21, 1882. Editor of Boston Herald: Dear Sir—During in y term of service in tlie Internal Revenue Department of the United States, at tlie time my office was in this city, I was afflicted with a severe attack of kidney disease, ar.d at times suffered intensely. I received the medioal advice of some of our best physicians for a long time, without beimr benefited by their prescriptions. Being discouraged by tlio failure of the doctors to help me, and being urged to use Hunt’s Remedy by a friend who had tested its merits, although reluctant to try a parent medicine, I was finally induced to try the Remedy, and procured two bottles of it, and commenced taking it faithfully according to the directions. Before I had taken It three days the excruciating paius in my back had disappeared, and before I bud used two bottles I was eutirely cured. Whenever, from over exertion or a violent cold, the paius in my kidneys return, a few doses of Hunt’s remedy quickly effects a cure. Before closing I beg to mention the remarkable cure of a friend of mine in New York eity, to whom I recommended tliis valuable medicine, lie was suffering severely from au attack which was pronounced by his physician a decided case of Bright’s Disease of the Kidneys. I obtained two bottles of Hunt’s Remedy for him, and ho commenced taking it, and began to improve at once, and was speedily restored to health, and he attributes the saving of his life, under the blessing of a merciful Providence, to Hunt’s Remedy. Another friend of mine in New York, to whom l recommended Hunt’s Remedy, was suffering severely from Kidney disease, and was entirely cured of it after using this wonderful medicine only a short period. Feeling deeply grateful for the great benefits experienced by my friend* and myself from the use of Hunt’s Remedy. I feel it to oe tny duty, as well as a great privilege, to furnish you tliis voluntary and unsolicited statement of facts for the information of your large number of readers, many of whom are undoubtedly suffering from this widely-spreading scourge, and I believe that it is the best medicine now known, and that it will cure all cases of Kidney diseases that cun be cured. I shall be pleased to confer with any one who may desire an interview regarding the statements herein contained. Truly yours, Richmond Hensiiaw, 99 Messer Streer.
