A Lawrcnceburg Girl’s Suicide—Her Father Tarred and Feathered. Special to the Indianapolis Tourral Lawrenceburg, May 20. —Oo Friday night Susie Hawkins took a dose of morphine'with suicidal intent, and died yesterday; the cause being the unpleasantness of her home and the beastly and cruel beatings inflicted upon her by her father because she protested against him keeping a prostitute at her home and refusing to give support to the family. On learning the facts the citizens became greatly excited, and last night over 150 of the most prominent took the law in their own hands, and Charles Hawkins, the man who has so repeatedly beaten and most cruelly treated his daughter, even unto her death, was taken from his home and given a severe coat of tar and feathers. The people were wild, and had it not been for some of the cooler heads, Charles Hawkins would have been kilied. Hawkinß is a desperate character. and had prepared himself for the occasion. He had two revolvers and fired into the crowd, injuring one and nearly killing another. He made a desperate resistance, and at one time succeeded in breaking away entirely. The woman was given notice to leave tow* with Hawkins before, and if the request is not complied with, they will be given another dose. layinff of the Corner-Stone of the Rose Orphans' Home. Terr* Haute Express, 30th. The corner-stone of the Rose Orphans* Home is successfully laid. The work, under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity, was done yesterday afternoon. About 2 o’clock the procession, headed by the Ringgold band, marched from East Main Street to Tenth street, where a train of eight coaches had been kindly provided by the Vandalia Railroad Company, to convey the people to the Home, east of the city. Arriving at the building, where seats had been arranged for a large crowd, the regular exercises of laying the corner-stone at once began. Upon the stand were Hon. R. W. Thompson, the orator of the occasion. Senator D. W. Voorhees, Hon. John E. Lamb. Mr. Min*hall. the officers of the Grand Lodge of Masons, officers of Knights Templars, and Other prominent citizens. The services of laying the corner-stone were conducted by Past Grand Master Robert Van Valzah.at the conclusion of which Hon. Richard W. Thompson, the orator of the day and president of the board of directors of the home, was intro duced and delivered a fitting address. Except for the interruption of tiie rain, everything moved along smoothly, and otherwise the day was excellent, for it was neither hot nor dusty. The Rose Orphans’ Home was originally organized by the name of “Tne Vigo County Orphan Home.” at the suggestion of one of our most honored citizens, Chauncey Rose, the purpose being to provide a refuse for orphan children and aged femalee of Vigo county. Soon after itsorfftrdxniloti Mr. Rose gave the association a donation of $150,000. which was understood by him, at the time, to be only an advancement toward the object contemplated. By his wi'l be devised to the aasocialion $150,000. in addition to his former gift of the same amount. The grounds selected for the home, lying directly east ot the city, immediately north of the National road, about one-fourth of a mile west of the fair grounds, are iu an admirable position, and the buildings when completed will make a very inijxislng landmark. In alt there are twenty acres, and these will he beautifully laid our. The main building faces the south. Tnere are two other buildings—onceisluf the main buildinraml the oilier north. The building is to cost about $75,000. and it Is hoped it will be ready for occupaucy next spring. Programme of Coimiie ncenient Exercises t Hanover Cniicgc. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, MONDAY, MAY 21, 1883.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES. Anxiety to Know Who Will Ba Commissioner of Revenue. Washington, May 19.—There were many anxious people about the White House today, eager to learn who the new Commissioner of Internal Revenue is to be. Their inquiries were not satisfied. The President did not enter his office until after 1 o’clock, aud wlien he did, it was to say that the announcement would not be made until Monday. The rumor to-night is that the person selected Ls a New York man, and the name of General Anson G. McCook is much talked of, as is also that ot Collector Blake, long collector of the Second New York district. Mr. Tutton, of Pennsylvania, who has been so prominently mentioned in connection with the place, is, it is said, to be disappointed. Colonel Ingerftoll Think* the Star-Route Trial Will Be Over iu Three Week*. Washington, May 20.—Colonel Jngersoll, of counsel for defense in the star-route trial, who began his argument last week, expects to occupy two or three days of the present week before concluding. He said to an Associated Press reporter to-night that his argument would be the last by the defense; that Mr. Merrick would follow for the prosecution and would speak four or five days, after which would come the judge's charge to the jury, to be followed perhaps by an argument on the law as laid down in the charge. He thought the case would be given to the jury during the first week in June. The Revenue District Consolidation. Washington, May 19.—More interest was manifested by the few congressmen who were here, in the proposed consolidation of internal revenue districts, than in the vacant coiumissionership. There were very anxious inquiries made at the revenue bureau to ascertain the details of the proposed plan of consolidation. General Raum, ex-Commissioner of Internal Revenue, urged that the consolidation be postponed to a later date; but it is pretty certain now that the reduction will be made to go into effect July 1. Garfield's Old Churcli. Washington, May 20.—Quite a warm controversy has grown up over an attempt made by a colored congregation to get possession of the old wooden church where Garfield worshipped and remove it to a location where they can use it for church purposes. The neighborhood where they propose to place it is rather aristocratic, and strong objections are made both to the frame church and the color of the congregation proposing to worship in it. Sugar in Bond tn Be Tented for Tax. Washington, May 19.—v Secretary Foiger has issued instructions to the Collector of Customs, at New York, granting permission to have all sugar and molasses in bonded warehouses resampled and tested by the polariscope, before the Ist of June, iu order to prepare for withdrawals, provided the importers file a stipulation to abide by the test so found, and to pay any additional expenses iucurred. Ex-Confederates Barred Out. Washington Special. It has been discovered that the new rules adopted regulating admissions to the civil service practically excludes ex-Confederates. The rules, wisely I think, provide that forty years of age shall be the limit or maximum age of entry into the civil service. There is a saving clause, however, which provides that this restriction shall not apply to honorably discharged’ soldiers and sailors who served in the late war. No ex-Confederate soldier could come in under this saving clause, since no Confederate could be an honorably discharged soldier or sailor within the meaning of such rule. They were not discharged at all. The late war is now twenty years off. The man who served as a bov is now forty years old, and, therefore, would not be eligible under the civil service rules to a clerkship in a government office. This is not so much the result of design on the part of the framers of the civil-service rules as the result of necessity. It is nobody's fault that men grow old and unserviceable. The misfortunes of those who fought against the Union are of their own manufacture. Thought She Knew Nothing of It. Special to Courier-Journal. Hon. Phil. li. Thompson was met by many of his old friends in Washington and warmly congratulated, to-day. over his speedy and triumphant acquittal. He is the same quiet, pleasant little gentleman that he was before he passed through the terrible tragedy. His little daughter, Mattie, is quite well, though much distressed at the cloud of trouble which has passed over her young life. Notts and Personalities Washington, May 19.—A recent order from the Postmaster-general requires starroute contracters to secure his permission before making a sub-contract on any route. The Treasury Department decided that the limitation of 85 |x.*r cent., in schedule “F” of the new teriff act, relating to the duty on leaf tobacco, refers to each package, and not to the whole number of packages covered by one invoice. Charges are now being prepared at the War Department for the trial by court martial of Wasson, the defaulting paymaster. The court martial, originally ordered to convene May 16,but temporarily suspended pending the examination of Wasson’s accounts, will now be convened at San Antonio, Tex., May 28. Lieutenant Garlington, who will command the relief expedition to Lady Franklin Bay, will leave New York with his party on the Alhambra on June 7 for St. Johns, N. F. Mail for Lieutenant Greeley and his men, and contributions of reading matter for the expedition, should be sent in care of the chief signal officer in time to reach Washington not later than June 1. Effect of the New Tax Bill on Oil Hectiritlen. Titdhvillk. Pa., May 20. —ls the tax bill passes in its present shape at Harrisburg, the United Pipe Line Company will be forced to surrender Its charter and do business as a partnership or limited partnership association. This change will not necessarily reduce the value or injure the security of oil certificates, but the trade would undoubtedly look on it in a different light, ami it would probably cause a gruat. destruction of value of oil certificates until confidence was restored. Panics are easily created where values are to some extent speculative, or where securities are used iu speculation, and it is believed that nothing could avoid a panic if a change of this kind is forced upon the Union Pipe Lines. Hence the intense feeling and unanimity in the oil region against the measure which finds no dissenting voice. The Tribune’s Crop Report Criticised by A Wisconsin Expert. Milwaukee. May 20.—‘ The recent report of the wheat proapect published by the New York Tribune, is criticised by 8. W. Tallmauge, of this city, who quotes from the official report of Jaiues Bayne, United States statistical agent of Dakota, who estimates

i this year*9 crop in that territory at 16,000.000 bushels; also the report of W. F. ChamI berlain, of the Ohio Agricultural Bureau, ! who says the yield of that State will l>e only i 26,000,000 bushels; also, the report of the ! Indiana secretary of agriculture, Alexander Heron, who placed the yield at not over 32,000,000 bushels. From these differences between the Tribune reports and official returns of the above named secretaries Mr. Tallraadge infers that the yield for 1883 will be 400,000,000 bushels. THE GRANITE STATE DISASTER. Some of the Sceues Aboard the 111-fated Sound Steamer. New York Herald Report. Affecting stories are heard to-day of the scenes within the saloon and among the emigrants below when the panic was at its height. The officers of the boat did what they could, but the spread of the flames was bewildering in its rapidity and fierceness, for the craft was heading against a strong wind when the fire first started, and bad to keep her course to reach the dock. When her bow touched, the first rusli was made in that direction. But the center of the fire and the thickest of the smoke were forward, and stout men turned back appalled. There was naught to do but seek the stern and risk their chances. The lady passengers are credited with courage at this moment. Therr were pale faces and trembling forms, but few outcries. Reaching the stern, most of the passengers descended to the main deck, whence they could easily drop into tiie river, and the heat was there less intense, for the flames made slower progress ait through the masses of freight than among the light woodwork of the saloon deck. Toward the bow there was heard a strange confusion of sounds—hammering, crashing and cries of animal?, at times nearly human in their agony. A dozen horses were plunging and tearing at their baiters, wild with terror. Home of the deck passengers who had been forward explained the noises and showed bruises received as they had forced their way past the animals to the stern. Some of the horses finally broke loose and plunged overboard. One of them landed upon a woman, a deck passenger, struggling in the water, and broke in several of her front teeth. From the stern of the boat most ot the passengers were rescued. Mrs. C. L. Main, of New Haven, is the only saloon passenger believed to have been lost. She was with her husband, and had been but recently married in New York. Mr. Main is almost frantic with grief, and for hours after the disaster could not be persuaded to leave the river bank. When the couple were aroused by a hammering upon their door Mr. Main seized his wife and rushed to the side of the bo t. With locked anus they dropped into the water. Either lie could not swim or his arms were so clasped as to be useless. Twice they went down, and after that he remembered nothing until he found himself lodged against one of the paddle wheels and clinging to it. For a time he could not be satisfied that his bride had not been saved by some of the rescuing parlies, but a few questions when he fully recovered his senses dissipated his last hope. Her body was recovered this afternoon. THE FIRE RECORD. Destruction of the Pennsylvania Railroad Shops at Jersey City. Jersey Citt, May 20.—The cabinet, upholstering and paint-shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, contained in one building, 400 by 175 feet, located on the meadows between here and Newark, were totally burned on Saturday night. The shops contained three Pullman coaches, one of which was saved, badly scorched; eighteen passenger coaches of the Eastlake design; three locomotives, six tenders, and a vast quantity of paints, cushions, plush and other car-fittings.
