Two Prominent Citizens of South Rend Engage iu a Fatal Affray. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. South Bend, May 14. — An affray occurred to-day between John Klingel, one of our moat prominent citizens and president of the school board, and a jeweler named Frank Mayer. Both are Democrats, and Klingel was on the bond of D. C. Rush, the defaulting city treasurer, who skipped last fall with $20,000 of the city’s money unaccounted for, and had to pay $5,000. Mayer is a relative of Rush by marriage, and was very active, Klingel alleged, in covering up Rush’s tracks, getting Rush’s registers, destroying papers, etc. Klingel also charged that Mayer got some of the city’s money, and used it in his business and in buying and improving property, This morning Klingel went into his nephew’s shoe store, where Mayer has a window, and they got to quarreling, and finally came to blows. Mayer beat Klingel, and would have brained him with a stick of wood, but he whs taken off. He had a revolver in his hand, but it is not known that he made any attempt to discharge it. Klingel’s injuries are pronounced fatal by the attending physicians, and Mayer is under SB,OOO bonds to await the result. A few years ago Mayer, to Klingel alleges, was so hard up that the latter loaned him S2OO or S3OO to keep him from losing his stock of goods. After Rush had been city treasurer for some time Mayer began to spread out, and bought real estate largely, kept a horse and carriage, and bought and put expensive improvements on a residence. When the defalcation was made public Klingel told Democrats and Republicans that Mayer had been using the city’s funds. The Slander Salt at Franklin. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Drayton testified for the plaintiff, as'to the symptoms of both arsenical and uraemic poisoning. Dr. P. Payne, the consulting physician for the deceased, was called by the plaintiff, and testified as to the symptoms and condition of the patient.

ILLINOIS. Systematic Swindling of Farmers by Light-ning-Rod Thieves. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Springfield, May 14. —Complaints have been received here during the past two weeks of what seems to be a series of systematic swindlers. It appears that a gang of men is going through the counties in the central part of the State selling lightning rods, and devoting not more than one week, frequently less, to each county. The plan of operation is represented to be as follows: An advance agent makes the contracts, binding himself to put up, say 125 feet of rods without charge, the remainder to be put up at a cost of seventy-five cents or %7 X A cents a foot, as may be agreed upon. The next day three or four men arrive to put up the rods, and they literally cover the building on the plea that all this work is necessary in order to make a good job. The jobs they did last week in Menard county are known to amount to over SIO,OOO. One farmer found himself caught for a bill of $526, another for $491, another for $327, another for S3OO and another for $l6O, these all in one neighborhood, and probably a mere tithe of what was accomplished in the county. Several of the swindled parties have been taking advice as to tiie wisdom of clubbing together to resist the payment of notes obtained-in this way, and troublesome litigation is likely to arise, as many of these notes are already known to be in the hands of innocent purchasers. Dittaernement in the lloilman .Slander Suit. Special lo tho Indianauolia Journal. Bloouington, May 14. —The jury in the case of H. 0. Hoffman, ex-reverend, vs. Zettie Robinson, for $5,000 damages for slander, came in to-day, after being out sixty hours, and reported their inability to agree and were discharged. The jury stood eight for Zettie and four for Hoffman. The case is probably at an end, and the public sincerely hope it is. Its nasty particulars are already too well known. Hoffman has twice been convicted of bastardy in church courts, and has now failed to obtain a verdict for one cent damages, having cut down his original claim of $5,000 to that sum, in order, as explained b} T the Inter Ocean to-day, to shut out testimony as to the value of his character. The papers have been made out by Zettie s lawyer for a Suit in bastardy, but there is serious question whether or not it can proceed under the statute of limitation, the papers not having yet been served on Hoffman. It is£also rumored that Hoffman and his friends are not Ratified to drop their case on a disagreeing jury, and will demand another trial. Brief Mention. A gentleman of Elgin reporta having seen a couple of angle-worms, eight inches long ami about hr thick as a man’s finger, lying on the sidewalk r. few morning* since.

Washington Special. President Arthur is ailing apaiii, and is anxious to get away from Washington if he could only find some place where he would not be annoyed by visitors and office-seek-ers. Not a day passes that the White House is not overrun by people who call, most of them, with no other purpose than to shake hands with a president. They come from all quarters, and in all kinds of “form,” about half of them not even taking time to put on clean linen and brush off the travel stains—a dusty, perspiring, ill-odorous throng of nobodies, having no business but to gratify their curiosity. It is not strange that President Arthur grows nervous and ill over the prospect of standing that kind of summer siege. He will attend tiie opening of the Brooklyn bridge ceremonies, and on his return to this ci:y, about the first of June, will repair at once to his quarters at the Soldiers’ Home. His private secretary, Mr. Phillips, thinks he will give up his proposed trip to the Yellowstone valley, because of the fatigue and discomfort of having to undergo the innumerable “receptions” that are certain to await him. He will be less disturbed in this way, by remaining at the Soldiers’ Home, which is about a mile distant from the terminus ot the nearest street railway, and therefore practically inaccessible to those who cannot nfford the expense of carriage hire, occasionally taking a run down to some of the seaside resorts for a breath of sea air. In the early fall, if he concludes to abandon the far Western trip now, he will make a short tour of the Western cities. THE STAR-ROUTE TRIAL. Ruling us to Speeches for tlio Defense--A Startling Incident. - Washington. May 14 —When the starroute trial was resumed, this forenoon, Judge Wylie said he wanted to dispose of the question of the number of counsel to be allowed to address the jury for the defense. The rules of practice in different courts were cited by Judge Wylie in the course of the delivery of his opinion, at some length, and the conclusion readied was that, each defendant should be allowed one closing argument by ids chosen counsel. The members of the special jury panel, excepting those engaged in the star-route case, were dismissed, Judge Wylie expressing tho belief that the present rase would consume the time of the court until tiie beginning of tho next term, June 18. Mr. Wilson then resumed his argument to the jury. During the afternoon a rather startling incident occurred. H. Clay England, a lawyer, who had been attacked this morning with a fit of insanity, managed to escape from Jus friends, and slipping into the court-room took a scat directly in front of the

jury. When the court officers attempted to remove him he began to strugi gle, and cried out: “These men are innocent; there is a conspiracy. Not guilty! Not guilty! Not guilty!” He was borne from the room shrieking and struggling. When order was restored, Mr. Wileon proceeded with his address, taking up the routes in order and explaining and commentin'; upon the evidence from the standpoint of the defense. He had not concluded when the court adjourned. PENSION PAYMENTS. Five Million Dollars to Be Disbursed During the Present Mouth. Washington, May 145 — The payments on account of pensions for the present month, are expected to reach $5,000,000. Last month ; they amounted to a little over $4,000,000, and ■ fell slightly short of the latter sum )in March. These figures represent first payments on certificates, which are made as soon as the certificates are issued. The regular payments of pensions are made quarterly, and will approximate $25,000,000 for the currentyear. A bout 5,000 new pension certificates 1 are now being issued per month, representj ing an average of SI,OOO each, and officials of the Pension Bureau think this rate will be kept up during the year. Applications for the increase of pension allowed by the act of March 3, 1883, are coming in rapidly, and 8,000 certificates, entitling holders to obtain increase, have already been issued. As the increase, iu most cases, is only $6 per month, payments on account of these certificates are comparatively of little importance, and will hardly be noticed in the millions paid out for arrearages. GENERAL AND PERSONAL. Aunonncement that A. T. Tntton Will Be Appointment to Ratlin's Place. Special to the lutUauapohs Journal. Washington, May 14.—Senator Don Cameron gives out to-night that A. T. Tutton, excollcctor of internal revenue, of Philadelphia, will receive the appointment to the revenue commissioners!)ip. Senator Cameron leaves for Europe on Saturday. Decision by the Court of Claims iu Favor of the Cadet Engineers. Washington, May 14.—The Court of Claims, to-day, rendered a unanimous decision in the test case ot Leopold vs. the United States. This suit was brought nominally for difference of pay, but in fact to determine the standing of the cadet engineers who graduated at the naval academy in the years 1881 and 1882. The Navy Department held that they were under graduates within the meaning of the act of August last, and were transferred by that act into naval cadets, and their pay cut down. Asa consequence of this they would all have been compelled to regraduate, and most of them would then have been dropped under the act as simple gruduates. The court decides that they are not under graduates, hence they were not transferred into naval cadets, but now’ remain in service as cadet engineers. A large number are interested in the decision. A Great liau’s Indignation. WftKhinjrtou Special. Ex-Postinasier-general Creawell is highly indignant over the suggestion of his name by some of the newspapers as the possible successor of Green B. Ratlin. “Tiie idea of me accepting such an office after having been a cabinet minister,” he exclaims with a breath of scorn. But a bigger man than Creswell accepted the commissionership of internal revenue after having served a term as serf:.,or from Indiana, to say nothing of the two illustrious ex-Presidents, one of whom became a Virginia justice of the f>eace. and the other a Massachusets member of Congress. Notwithstanding his indignation, Creswell would doubtless jump at the oiler to take Uaum's place. Dr. Mary Walker's Pantaloons. Washington Special. Dr. Mary Walker lias until recently been very popular in her division of the Pension Office. She would do just as she pleased, and had a habit of taking work from clerks’ desks and trying to do it herself. No one cared to make a fussabout it until one old clerk said to his neighbor; “I would never strike a woman, but if I)r. Walker took work from my desk I would paddle her pantaloons.” Someone probably told her of this, aud since that things have gone on better. Notes and Personalities Washington, May 14.—The wife of exAssistant Secretary Hitt will go to Europe in July.

Secretary Folger has addressed a commnnicittion to Mr. March iri response to the latter's request for a subpoum duces tecum for the production of certain papers called for by Mr. Muroh in regard to the Hill investigation.

Melino, formerly of Cincinnati, chief clek of the United States treasury office, vice Charles Lyman, resigned. The United States steamer Pinta has been condemned as unsoaworthy and ordered out of commission. CHIME AND CRIMINALS. The Evidence In Thompson's Dime Concluded, atul Argument Begun.

Mo Whiskey / Brown’s Iron Bitters is one of the very few tonic medicines that are not composed mostly of-alcohol or whiskey, thus becoming a fruitful source of intemperance by promoting a desire for rum. Brown’s Iron Bitters is guaranteed to be a nonintoxicating stimulant, and it will, in nearly every case, take the place of all liquor, and at the same time absolutely kill the desire foi whiskey and other intoxicating beverages. Rev. G.W. Rice, editor cl the American Christian Re view, says of Brown’s Iron Bitters: Cin., 0., Nov. 16,1881. Gents: —The foolish wasting of vital force in business, pleasure, and vicious indulgence of our people, makes your preparation a necessity ; and if applied, will save hun dreds who resort to saloon for temporary recuperation. Brown’s Iron Bitters has been thoroughly tested for dyspepsia, indigestion, biliousness, weakness, debility, overwork, rheumatism, neuralgia, consumption, liver complaints, kidney troubles, &c., and it never fails to render speedy and permanent relief IRON IWPIPE WiPM FITTINGS. 1 Selling agents for Natlon- ‘ \ oil übe Works Cos. .Globe Valves, St on Cocka, 4 Engine Trimming*.
