A Score of Offenders Enter Pleas of Not Guilty Bofore Judge Norton. Business was resumed at the old stand in the Criminal Court, yesterday, the jail quarantine having been lifted, and about thirty prisoners arraigned, mostly on minor charges. It ■was a motley assembly of criminals, many of Whom were not altogether unfamiliar with the Ways of justice. Os the entire lot only one, Dow Mounts, who stole a dinner-bucket, pleaded guilty, and he was dismissed with a lecture, as he is only fifteen years old and this was his first offense. On the charge of petit larceny the following were arraigned and pleaded not guilty; Clayton Hammil, Christopher Gibson, James Howard, John Moore, Tim Ferriter, Daniel Dowd, Hiram Burt, Christopher Hamilton, Ed Ryan, Frank Stinson. Frank Mutheny. Assault and battery with intent to kill— Thomas Barber. William Call and Simon Barber. Burglary and grand larceny—James Shay, James Hanley, Wesley Johnson. Shay was revised once before on his personal recognizance, and will probably be sent up for three years on the old charge. At least two-thirds of the prisoners arraigned yesterday arc under twenty-one years of age. Pat Hurley, who stole a piece of “dog meat.’’ was sent to jail for one day and fined |l. He had already been in jail for about three weeks. Died in a Isagnio. “Girls, I am dying,” was the remark that Startled the inmates of the Mabb house of illfame, early yesterday morning. It came from the lips of Luella May Guerrin, aged eighteen, and known by her associates as Edith Remington. She had been complaining of trouble in her throat for a day or two, which was aggravated \y attending a dance on Friday night.

THE CEY FROM MACEDONIA. Many Afflicted Towns Along the River Forced to Appeal for Help. The Board of Trade Committee Actively Begins the Work of Belief—Gov. Porter Issues a Call to the State. Appeals for aid were received yesterday morning by the Board of Trade relief committee from the flooded towns on the Ohio river, and active work was at once begun. During the first few days of the rise of the waters it was believed that the devastation of the flood would not be so great, and the committee, not expecting that there would be so much suffering as last year, made no a call for contributions, supposing that the balance left from the fund raised in 1883 would be sufficient for such needs as they would be called upon to supply. It is evident, however, from the unprecedented rise of the water during yesterday, and from the appeals for aid which were received, that there will be fully as much suffering, if not more, than a year ago. A dispatch was received yesterday morning from Samuel Dickinson, township trustee and chairman of the relief committee at Lawrenceburg, stating that a supply of provisions was needed immediately, and asking if Indianapolis could furnish any relief. A telegram was also received from Mayor Glass, of Jeffersonville, stating that the town was flooded, and appealing to the relief committee to “send help as soon as possible.” At the noon meeting of the Board of Trade it was decided to issue a call for contributions, and the following address to the public was prepared by the relief committee: To the Citizens of Indianapolis; It has again become necessary to call upon the citizens of Indianapolis to make voluntary contributions for the relief of our fellow-citizens at Lawrenceburg and Jeffersonville. The flood has reached the height of last year. The committee of last year will have in charge the distribution of funds and provisions. The money left over from last year is already exhausted. More money is-needed immediately. No personal calls will be made, as the demands are so great. There is no time for personal appeal. We ask the citizens to make voluntary contributions of money at once. Donations may be left at the Indiana National Bank, the Meridian National Bank, at Fletcher & Sharpe’s bank, at Byram, Cornelius & Co.’s, and with J. G. Blake, secretary of the Board of Trade, or with any member of the committee. Contributions are required to-day, in order to enable the committee to make immediate purchases. Let there be a prompt and generous response. N. S. Byram. Chairman, Eli Lillet, W. P. Gallup, T. E. Chandler, A. D. Lynch, F. P. Rush. V. T. Malott, Frank Jones, J. L. McMaster. Mayor, H. S. Fraskr. A. E. Fletcher, Treasurer, A. M. Fletcher, J. A. Olosser, D. A. Richardson, D. M. Ransdell. THE BOARD OF TRADE WORK. Governor Porter was present at the meeting, and stated that if it was deemed advisable by the Board of Trade he would make an appeal to the citizens of the State for contributions to furnish relief to the sufferers, and a resolution urging snch an appeal was adopted. In his remarks to the board upon the necessity of immediate relief measures, the Governor said: “I desire to become a contributor to the amount of SIOO. of which $75 is to go to Lawrenceburg.” Mr. D. A. Richardson, of the firm of Richardson & Evans, contributed SSO. Mr. Malott, treasurer of the relief committee, reported that the balance in his hands, left from last year, amounted to $1,381.31, but the committee is indebted for more than that sum, for provisions that have already been purchased and forwarded. The following general call to the public was ordered by the board: Members of the Board of Trade and citizens generally are requested to meet at the Board of Trade Hall to-morrow (Tuesday) noon, to consider the question of extending relief to the flooded districts. The calamity of one year ago is again upon our people. A. D. Lynch, President. John G. Blake, Secretary. Following the ajournment of the hoard, the relief committeee held a conference. Albert E. Fletcher was elected treasurer. Mr. V. T. Malott being unable to give the duties the attention required. N. S. By ram, J. A. Olosser and W. P. Gallup were selected as the purchasing committee, while H. S. Fraser. D. M. Radsdell and D. A. Richardson were made a committee on transportation. C. F. Holliday was elected secretary of the committee. It was decided to send a car-load of provisions to Lawrenceburg and one to Jeffersonville immediately. The car sent to Jeffersonville contained 5 ; 000 pounds of flour, 2,000 pounds of meat, and 200 pounds of coffee. Provisions sufficient for 1,000 persons for two days were forwarded to Lawrenceburg. During the afternoon the following telegram was received from Lawrenceburg. Lawrenceburg, Feb. 11. To the Indianapolis Board of Trade: We are in need of relief, and must have provisions to-feed the poor of our city. We are cut off from railroad communications. You can send us provisions or way of Aurora. Samuel Dickinson, Township Trustee and Chairman Relief Committee. The following dispatch was received last evening at 7 o’clock: Lawrenceburg, Feb. 11. John L. McMaster. Mayor—We will need help tomorrow. Bend provisions uncooked. Are doing well yet, but more water coming. Return thanks to your people. Geo. M. Roberts, Mayor. The committee have decided to forward another car-load of provisions to Lawrenceburg today. Contributions will be needed immediately, and it is expected that there will be a prompt response to the call. A contribution of soo was received by the committee last evening from the Evening News. GOVERNOR PORTER’S PROCLAMATION. The following proclamation to the people of the State was issued yesterday afternoon by Governor Porter: Indianapolis, Feb. 11. To the People of Indiana: The Ohio river has already risen to a height exceeding the flood of 1883, and its waters are still rising. The suffering of the Inhabitants of the State residing in the overflowed towns and on the bottom lands is likely to be very great unless prompt relief is given. When the calamity of 1883 occurred, the people of the State, with a noble generosity, vied with each other in giving help. They will not be less mindful of the suffering now. Better provision has been mad% in some respects for the present disaster than was made for that of last year. Contributions of clothing and bedding arc not. it is understood, at present desired. But money is greatly needed with which immediately to purchase food, and contributions of flour, meal, and salt meats are needed where money cannot be conveniently spared. Last year the relief committee of the Indianapolis Board of Trade was most prompt, energetic, and faithful in distributing the means of relief placed in their hands. I apjieal most earnestly, therefore, to all the people of the State, who have means to do so, to promptly contribute, in money or food, to the relief of the inhabitants of the overflowed region. And it gives me pleasure to announce to them—where they have not selected other agents—that any contributions sent to N. 8. liyram, chairman of the above mentioned committee. Albert E. Fletcher, treasurer thereof, or V. T. Malott, a member thereof, will be promptly and faithfully applied to the purpose intended. Albert G. Porter, Governor. Attest: W. R. Myers, .Secretary of State. THE MASONS UP AND DOING. The grand master of the Free and Accepted Masons last night issued the following appeal to Masons of the State: Indianapolis, Feb. 12, 1884. To the Masohs of Indiana: There is again a demand for Masonic relief on account of the recent floods. An appeal is hereby made to the Masons of Indiana for donations in such sums as Masonic organizations or individ ual members may be able to give. The money thus donated will be carefully and judiciously expended under the personal direction of the grand master and grand secretary, a detailed statement of which will be submitted to the grand lodge. Send all donations to William H. Siuythe, grand secretary, Indiauapolis, Ind.,who will promptly receipt for the same. Bruce Carr, Grand Master. Mystic Tie No. 398, of this city, last night, authorized a contribution of SIOO for the

relief of the sufferers. The Grand Lodge has a' balance of $373, left from the relief fund last year. S3OO of which has been expended. Last night, Mr. Carr sent SSO to New Albany and SSO to Jeffersonville to he used by the Masons there for the relief of the sufferers. The Grand Master will himself go to Lawrenceburg as soon as there is a chance to do any good by going. Frozen to Death. Yesterday Granville Garnott, a colored man reported the following facts to the coroner: Three weeks ago last Saturday, “Lum” Palmer, a negro who worked on a farm fifteen miles northeast of the city, came here with a load of corn, which he sold, and got drunk on the proceeds. He reached home in this condition about 8 o’clock on Sunday evening, and put up his horses, but did not go into the house. In the morning his body was found near the stable, and it was evident that he had been frozen to death, but the matter never has been investigated. Dr. Maxwell thinks the case is not within his jurisdiction, as the man’s home was probably in Hamilton county. Dropped Dead of Heart Disease. Charles Learned, an old citizen, dropped dead from paralysis of the heart, at his residence. No. 643 North Hlinois street, about 9 o'clock yesterday morning. He had complained of feeling badly at an earlier hour, but prepared to go about his business as usual While talking to his wife he fell on the floor insensible, and was dead before a physician could he summoned. Mr. Learned was seventy-four years of age, and had lived here since 1844, being engaged in the grocery and manufacturing business. He was a member of the Tippecanoe Club. The funeral services will be conducted to-morrow afternoon by Rev. O. C. McCulloch and B. F. Foster. The State University. The annual report of the trustees of the Indiana University was filed with the Governor yesterday. The loss sustained by the bunting of the university buildings in July last is estimated by the trustees at $104,200, but new buildings will be erected, it is hoped, in time for occupancy at the beginning of the next fall term. The revenues of the university aggregate $30,500, and the annual salaries paid the faculty and officers amount to $25,850. It will be necessary, the committee on finance says, to limit the expenditures during the year to the actual and most pressing necessities, in order not to exceed the available funds. The Hornaduy Case. The 11 J. L. Lord” arrested at Shelbyville on Saturday for swindling transactions, proves to he Thomas B. Homaday, who lives at No. 669 Broadway, this city. He formerly held positions in the Postoffice and railway mail service, hut was compelled to give them up on account of ill health and mental troubles. In the accounts of the affair printed yesterday, all the city papers stated that Hornaday’s forgery was on the ‘‘Franklin National Bank.” There is no such institution, but the “National Bank,” of Franklin, which is the only national hank there, knows nothing at all of the man or his transactions. Inclined To Be Obstreperous. The divorce suit of Clara Miller against Louis Miller was on trial before Judge Walker yesterday, and the defendant not appearing, as the court requires, he was sent for. He showed up in an intoxicated condition, and when put on the stand was insolent and surly. The Court told him that he would he sent to jail unless he acted better, and a marked reformation in his conduct was noticeable afterward. His wife was given a divorce, with the custody of the children, and Miller was ordered to pay $5 a month toward their support. Five Horses Burned. A stable owned by J. S. Carey, in the rear of his stove factory, at the corner of Georgia and West streets, was destroyed hv fire last evening at 6:30 o'clock. Five horses in the stable at the time were burned, and the loss is estimated at about SI,OOO, which is partly covered by insurance in the Franklin agency. The origin of the fire is not positively known, hut it is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary. It is also reported that it started from the careless handling of a lantern in the part of the stable whore the hay was stored. A Highwayman Run Drown. William Garrity attempted to rob Jack Vertrees, a negro, in the alley between Alabama and Delaware streets, south of the Court-house, yes ierday afternoou, hut was detected in the act, and was pursued for a distance of three squares. He was captured near Circle Park by Sanitary Officer Griffin, and was taken to the police sta tion, where he was locked up on a charge oi highway robbery. Between three and four hundred persons joined in the pursuit of tho thief, and considerable excitement was created. Call to Rev. Myron W. Reed. Rev. Myron W. Iteed, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of this city, has received a call to the vacant pastorate of the First Presbyterian Church of Denver, Col. Mr. Reed had telegraphic information of the action of the Denver congregation two or three days ago. but the official call and proceedings of the church came by mail yesterday. The call is unanimous and most enthusiastic, and the terms in the highest degree flattering. * Another Pogue’s Run Suit. William B. Barry, proprietor of the saw works on South Pennsylvania street, has brought suit for $6,000 damages for the overflow of his place of business by Poguo’s run in June, 1882, the case being similar to that of Johnston, Erwin & Cos., now pending in the Surpreme Court. The defendants are the Union Railway Company, the C., H. & 1., the P., C. &. St L.. the W., St. L. & P. companies, and the City of Indianapolis. Fell from a Train. The conductor of the Vandalia train that ar rived in this city yesterday evening reported that a drunken passenger, who got on at Terre Haute, fell from the train about five miles west of the city, when it was running thirty miles an hour. As a freight train was following close behind, a brakeman was sent back to look after the man and bring him to the city if he was badly hurt, but he could not be found. Robbed His Uncle. A negro last night entered a South Illinois street pawn shop and asked to see some of the revolvers which were for sale. He selected one and asked the pawn broker to load it for him. As the loaded weapon was handed over the negro leveled it at the man behind the counter as he walked out of the place backward and made his escape. Suit on Grain Transactions. Samuel Cade has brought suit against F. P. Rush & Cos. to recover $17,624.37, with interest, etc., the demand being $20,000, which he alleges is due him on account. He claims that the defendants sold about 20,000 bushels of wheat for him, but have not turned over the proceeds to him.

MURDEROUS BURGLARS, Newton J. McDaniel Fatally Shot by Three Villains Bent on Robbery. At twenty-five minutes past 9 o'clock last night three men entered the grocery of Newton J. McDaniel, on Seventh street, opposite the Pattison M E. Church, two doors east of Bellefontaine street. As they entered the store they closed the door behind them, and one asked Mr. McDaniel for a plug of tobacco. As he turned his hack toward them and reached to get the tobacco one of them struck at him with either a slung-shot or a sand bag. Mr. McDaniel struck back ineffectually with the tobacco, when there was a brief scuffle, and as he went to the floor one of the villains, drawing a revolver, fired across the counter. Mr. McDaniel staggered to his feet shouting “Murder,” and the men ran out of tho front door, around the corner, and south down Bellefontaine street. The grocer ran out, also, diagonally across Seventli street, into the yard of Louis Tetaz, where he fell. A colored man named Antony Brown, living next door to the grocery, hearing the noise, came out and fired into the air after the retreating assassins. A number of persons gathered about Mr. McDaniel, who was found to be shot, and removed him to his residence, No. 283, College avenue, where Dr. Hubbard, Dr. Stone. Dr. D. H. Oliver, and Dr. Haggart examined his injuries. He was found to have been shot just below the breast bone and through the stomach, the bullet, probably from the short range, going nearly through the body. Internal hemorrhage is going on, and the physicians think the wound will in all probability be a fatal one. He could not converse, last night, as every effort to do so was followed by a gush of blood from the mouth. The revolver used shot a small ball. Mr. McDaniel describes the men as white men, one being a tall man and another noticeably short, the short man being the one, he thinks, who shot him. The short man is described as wearing light clothes and having a light moustache, while the other two wore darker clothes. Mr. McDaniel had placed his money in his pocket, and was getting ready to close his store. The murderous thieves got no money, it is thought, and a $5 note was found behind the counter on the floor after they had decamped, which had been dropped in the scuffle. Mrs. Brown, who lives next door to the grocery, says that for several days she has seen three men skulking about the grocery, occasionally going in and out She noticed them particularly on account of their rough looks and slouch ing ways, and because they did not seem to belong to the neighborhood, but were tramps. She said she saw them on Saturday, on Sunday noon just as the people were coming out of church, and again yesterday. She describes the men much as Mr. Ale Daniel did, and says she would recognize them if she saw them again, especially the short one. Mr. Ale Daniel is fifty-three years old and is a well-knc ,cn and highly-esteemed citizen, and the usual quiet neighborhood in which this outrage occurred, which will probably result in death, is greatly excited. An hour and a half after the shooting not a member of the metropolitan police force had put in an appearance. The wounded man is the father of Lorenzo W. Ale Daniel. fore man of Hasselman's Printing Company, and of Jesse L. McDaniel, printer, and a daughter twelve years old. . Clothing to the value of about SIOO was stolen from the residence of Dr. Bell, yesterday afternoon. It is supposed that the thief is a negro woman who was seen coining from the house.
