NEW ORLEANS THREATENED The Mississippi River Reaches the Highest Point Ever Known. The Water Up to the Top of the Levees, and the City in Imminent Danger of Inundation—Flooded Districts. SOUTHERN FLOODS. The Mississippi Reaches the Highest Point Ever Known—Great Damage to Property. Baton Rouge, March 24.—Mulatto Point crevasse is widening steadily. A tremendous volume of water is pouring through. It is believed no sugar will be made at West Baton Rouge this coming season. The crevasse at Waterloo, six miles below Bayou Sara, is adding its volume to the overflow from Morganza above and Mulatto Point below. Many threatened places along the levee have been strengthened and the small breaks closed. The water is reported pouring over many levees, and is driven over others by the wind. This morning the river reached the high-water mark of 1874, but since 8 a. m. there has been a fall of two and a half inches, which was doubtless caused by the crevasse reported. A Vicksburg dispatch says: Kemp levee, below here, broke yesterday. The levee in front of the court-house broke last night. The water is in sheets of four to five feet deop. A Bayou Sara special says: ‘ ‘Last night this section was visited by a terrible wind and rain storm. The protection levee near Waterloo gave way, and all the valuable Grossetete country is overflowed. This water will affect the river front and all places on Chevelle, including the New York Warehouse Company. Manv people here, during the storm yesterday, moved out on the hills. Water is in the principal streets and the rear of the town is overflowed, caused by the heavy rain and breakage of the drainage machine. A flatboat in tow was swamped during the storm yesterday. Thirty head of cattle were drowned. Colonel Zenor, of St. Mary’s parish is here, and is using all efforts to save what remains of Point Cuopee leve . Much dis tress will result from the Waterloo crevasse, and many small farmers and poor people on False river will lose all their stock. Latest advices reg>rt the breaking of the Lazour levee just above ourgeroice. New Orleans Threatened. New Orleans, March 24. The following was telegraphed to Senators Jonas and Gibson today: The existing levees, forming part of the river improvement systems, are seriously threatened. It might save them if the department in charge of the Mississippi river through their engineers had authority to co-operate with our State engineers in their endeavors to protect them against the flood now threatening, and could use part of the appropriation assigned to the fiver by the general government. Communicate this to our representatives. Chas. E. Block, President of New Orleans Cotton Exchange, And the presidents of six other commercial exchanges and associations. The river here is an inch above 1874, the high est point on record. In the Northwest. Minneapolis, March 24.—Advices from Cedar Fails, la., are that a washout at Winslow has delayed the train twelve hours. All trains between Canon Falls and Rod Wing are suspended on account of washouts. A train was ditched near Canon Falls and four workmen injured, but not. seriously. Milwaukee, March 24.—Serious floods are reported from Darlington and Colmene, Dodge county. The Pesatonia river has flooded both towns. People have left their homes, and railroad communication is stopped. PROPOSED RELIEF Debate in the House on the Resolution to Appropriate SBOO,OOO. Washington, March 24.—1n the House, this morning, Mr. Ellis asked unanimous consent to introduce a joint resolution, reciting that the waters of the Mississippi river had risen to the high-water mark of 1874 at New Orleans, which is the highest known in the flood annals of the river, and are rising between St. Louis and New Orleans at the rate of two or three inches a day; that the appalling calamity of overflowing a city of 300,000 souls is imminent, involving great loss of life and property, and appropriating $300,000, to be immediately available, to be expended in the discretion of the Secretary of War, in preventing an overflow of the city of New Orleans and the country adjacent thereto. Mr. Dunn reserved an objection until he should hear some explanation of the resolution. He wished to know by what sort of legerdemain the committee on appropriations had leaped from the Ohio river to the city of New Orleans, disregarding the appeals made by 200,000 people of Arkansas and Mississippi. Mr. Ellis excepted to the word “legerdemain,” used so glibly by the gentleman from Arkansas. The object of the resolution was not for the relief of sufferers, but to prevent what might be the appalling calamity of the age. The water of the river was up to the top of the levees, and whenever the flood waters went over a levee that levee was doomed. There was nothing between the city of New Orleans and a river sixteen feet above the level of the city but a dirt wall. The calamity that must ensue if the waters rose higher could not be depicted by the human tongue. It would be the calamity of the age. Mr. Dunn withdrew any objection, but called attention to the fact that in his district the Mississippi was ninety miles wide. There was a rise coming from the Missouri river, supplemented by a great rise out of the overflow of the Ohio. There were, to day, in his district 70,000 people whoso homes are flooded. Mr. Rice objected to the resolution, saying it should be considered by the committee on appropriations. Mr. Ellis appealed to Mr. Rice to withdraw the objection, predicting that if there was any delay the House would be called upon to consider, not an ounce of preventive, but many pounds of cure. The city of New Orleans was all it could to prevent a catastrophe, but the State Legislature was not in session. He hoped no one would object to the resolution, as the delay of one duv might cost the government many times more than the paltry amount asked for. Mr. Oates doubted the constitutional power of Congress to appropriate public money for the relief of sufferers by floods, fire or storm. Mr. Randall said the resolution had been informally considered favorably by the committee on appropriations and in view of this statement Mr. Rice withdrew his objection. Mr. Hunt said he had received a letter from one of the engineers of the Mississippi river commission, predicting the greatest disaster that could possibly be conceived of if precautions were not taken to prevent an overflow of the city of New Orleans. Mr. Money moved to commit the resolution to the committee on appropriations, with instructions to report back, immediately, a resolution appropriating $500,000 to be expended by the Secretary of War in preventing an over flow at New Orleans, anu to relieve persons rendered destitute by the overflow iu the Mississippi river. Rejected. The joint resolution was lost, yeas. 95; nays. 105, but by unanimous consent it was reintroduced by Mr. Ellis and referred to the committee on appropriation. Democratic Presidential Preferences. Boston, March 24.—The Post to-morrow will print several columns of letters from Democratic members of the Legislatures of Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut, in which the writers give their preference for presidential candidates. Tilden leads in each State, save Massachusetts, where he and Butler are about even. The Greenback members of the Maine Legislature favor Tilden for first choice. On the tariff question a majority are for tariff for revenue only, and an overwhelming majority favor the Morrison bill and a gradual reduction of tariff taxation. Os members who declare unequivocally for a continuance of the present

tariff, two are New Hampshire men, three from Connecticut, and one from Massachusetts. Two New Hampshire manufacturers favor an imme diate reduction, and one favors the tariff as at present. TIIE. WRESTLING MATCH. Duncan C. Ross Defeats Colonel McLaughlin for the Championship of the World. Cleveland, March 24. Duncan C. Ross, of Cleveland, and Colonel J. H. McLaughlin, of Detroit, contended in the Euclid-avenue Opera house, to-night, for SI,OOO a side and the mixed wrestling championship of the world. E. H. Gilman, of Detroit, was the referee; Thomas Curry, ot Cleveland, umpire for Ross, and Parson Davies, of Chicago, for McLaughlin. Both men stripped in fine condition, Ross weighing 195, and McLaughlin 210. The first bout was Graeco-Roman. The men stepped on the stage at 8:30. Ross won in fifteen minutes. Mrs. Ross, who occupied a procenium box, presented her husband with a basket of flowers. Ross threw McLaughlin with a half-bodv dock. After a twenty minutes rest, the men wrestled the second bout, collar and elbow, in jackets. McLaughlin won in eight minutes, by a cross-toe lock. The final bout was cateh-as-catcli-can. McLaughlin wished to wrestle with jackets; Ross objected. The referee decided that, in view of no stipulation in the articles of they should wrestle without jackets. Ross put McLaughlin square on his back in fifteen minutes with a full-neck lock, winning a fall and the match. McLaughlin stepped to the front of the stage, acknowledged that he had lost, but said he was ready to wrestle again in two weeks for $2,000 with jackets. Ross agreed to accept if the match would be three falls in five. McLaughlin agreed, and the men are to meet again in three weeks. It will be a mixed match, two falls, collar and elbows, two catch-as-catch-can with jackets, and one Graeco-Roman. Ross refuses, however, to wrestle in Detroit. The match was a magnificent contest. McLaughlin is more powerful. Ross more active and skillful. His agility at times was marvelous. New York, March 24.—A wrestling match for SSOO a side, between Captain James Daly, the heavy-weight sparrer and wrestler, and Matsada Savacheki, the Japanese champion, took place to-night in the presence of several hundred spectators. Four falls were to be wrestled, two ‘ "catch-as-catch-can” and two in the Japanese style. Daly won the toss and selected the American style first. In fifty-six seconds lie was lying flat on iiis back with the Jap astride. In the second bout, which was according to the Japa nese rules, Daly was on the floor at the end of ten seconds. Daly refused to wrestle after this, claiming a foul, which the referee would not allow, and the match was awarded the Jap. Daly weighed 220 pounds, or thirty-five more than the Jap, and stood six inches higher. A Forty-Round Fight. Port Richmond, Pa.. March 24.—Hugh McConnell and John McCormick fought a prize-fight of thirty-nine rounds for S2OO a side, near here, last evening. Both men were badly battered up by the twenty-fifth round, and, upon the call of the fortieth round, McCormick was unable to respond. McConnell was declared the victor. The fight lasted two hours and ten minutes. THE AUGUSTIXIAN SOCIETY. Beginning of the First of the Numerous Suits Against the Defunct Concern. Lawrence, Mass., March 24.—The first of the Augustiuian Society suits, Allen Lehey against the society and the archbishop of the diocese to recover $1,500 for money- loaned the defendant, began to-day. The court room was crowded with depositors and clergy-men. Archbishop Williams testified that he was familiar with the affairs of the Immaculate Conception Church, under the charge of the Augustinian Society. He knew deposits were received by all pastors of the church. Since he became bishop he had not only discountenanced the practice, but he had issued written protests against it. He had raised by mortgage on the church property SIOO,OOO to pay depositors. The decree which governed the holding of titles of church property was that it should be held by the bishop, who had full administration of the same, in order that the matters pertaining thereto should conform to ecclesiastical law. Provision was also made that the priests keep their own and the church finances separate, and not take money on deposit without written permission of the bishop under whose control they were in temporal and spiritual matters When the witness learned of the condition of the funds of the Augustinian Society, he could have told them to receive no more funds, but did not do so, anticipating that.tlie difficulties could be surmounted without resorting to insolvency. The witness considered the church property good security for the deposits. The revenue of the churches and deposits made a common fund, but the accounts were kept separate by the church. The revenue always exceeded the ordinary expenditures. National Reform Convention. Philadelphia, March 24.— The National Reform Convention organized by the election of John Alexander as president. Addresses on “Moral Accountability of Nations” and “Jesus Christ, Ruler of Nations,” were delivered respectively- by Rev. E. Huber and Rev. W. J. Coleman. The National Reform Association is the outgrowth of the meeting in Cleveland, in February, 1803, to consider the crisis then impending, and its object is set out in the call for the convention—to teach that the Almighty is the source of all national power and authority; that the Lord Jesus Christ is the ruler of the nations; and that the '"Bible contains the law for the nations, and is the supreme standard by which all moral issues ought to be decided.” Mine Explosion. Johnstown, Pa., March 24.—There was a slight explosion of fire damp in the Still coal mine of the Cambria Iron Company, at this place, this morning, magnified reports of which have been telegraphed over the country. Three men and a boy were very slightly burned, but none dangerously injured. There had been a small accumulation of gas over Sunday, and when the miners went to work it ignited from coming in contact with naked lamps. The fan had not been put in full motion. The mine is one of the best ventilated in the country, and generates hut little gas. The explosion did not damage the mine. Hereafter a watchman will inspect the mine every morning before the miners will be permitted to enter. The Patent Bill Denounced. Chicago, March 24.—The meeting of inventors and manufacturers of patented articles, to-night, passed resolutions denouncing the patent bilT which recently passed the House, and has been reported favorably to the Senate, providing that the manufacture of any- patented article for the use of the maker, and not for sale, shall not subject the maker to a greater penalty than the license charged for the right to manufacture such articles. The resolutions hold that the passage of such a law would rob inventors of their rights and involve thorn in endless litigation. These resolutions were telegraphed to the Illinois delegation iu Congress to-night. Indicted for Receiving a Bribe. Galveston, March 24.—Edward Gut.liridge was indicted by the federal grand jury here, today, on the charge of receiving a bribe of SSOO while acting as United States attorney in tho Eastern district of Texas. It seems that William Umdenstock and W. T. Scott, sureties for Internal Revenue Collector Bonfrey, were sued by the government for $50,000, and offered to settle for $5,500. The case was compromised upon that basis, in accordance with the recommendation of Guthridge, who, it is alleged, received therefor SSOO from interested parties. A Comer on the Com.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1884.

PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. THE SENATE. The Dakota Bill Meets with Temporary Defeat—The Education Bill. Washington, March 24.—The Senate to-day was presided over by Senator Sherman, desig nated under tho rule by the President pro tem. for tliat purpose. Mr. Vance presented the views of the minority committee on foreign relations relative to the action and report of the committee on the subject of the exclusion of American meats from foreign countries. Mr. Van Wyck offered a resolution directing the Attorney-general to furnish the information called for concerning the compensation of special attorneys in the star-route cases or give reason for neglecting to do so. objection by Mr. Ingalls the resolution went over. Mr. Harrison moved to make the special order for Thursday of next week the bill organizing into a State and admitting into the Union the Territory of Dakota. Mr. Cockrell said the bill could not be passed this session, and it would be a waste of time to make it a special order. The vote on Mr. Harrison’s motion resulted—yeas, 33; not a necessary two-thirds. Before the announcement ot the result, several senators changed their votes, stating they understood the question was regarded as a political one. The Senate took up the bill to increase the salaries of United States district judges to $5,000. Mr. Van Wyck’s motion to make the figure $4,000 was rejected. Mr. Coke offered an amendment making it unlawful for any relative of a circuit or district judge of the United States to hold office in the courts with which such judges were connected, and making it a misdemeanor for a judge to knowingly appoint any relative to his court. In support of this amendment Mr. Coke spoke strongly in deprecation of the abuses which grow up in federal courts by reason of appointment by judges of relatives of their own in courts over which they preside. Where the clerk of the court and his deputies and subordinates were all relatives of the judge it was difficult, if not impossible, for litigants to avoid being fleeced. Bills of costs were made up to out rageous sums. The evil, he said, had grown tb flagrant proportions in two districts iu Texas, the Northern district being the one excepted. Mr. Maxey agreed with Mr. Coke. Mr. Hoar moved a substitute for Mr. Coke’s amendment so as to exclude from appointment all relatives within the degree of first cousin. Mr. Morgan inquired if it were not true that the relatives of one of the United States district judges of Texas had not made as much as SIOO.000 by reason of their relationship with the judge. Mr. Coke could not say they had made so much, but they had made a good deal. Mr. Morgan said he had Ueen informed that a judge in Texas was over seventy years of age. and could, under the law, be retired on full salary, but held on to the position in order to keep his relatives in office. Mr. Coke remarked that was not a fact, but such a statement had been made as to a Texas judge now dead. The motion went over, and the Chair laid before the Senate the education bill. Mr. Garland said the people of Arkansas had done all in their power to educate the colored race, but, from circumstances absolutely beyond their control, they could not meet the great evil of illiteracy. Mr. Frye inquired whether there was. on the part of the educators of Arkansas, any prejudice against the education of colored people. In asking tho question, Mr. Frye expressed entire confidence in both the judgment and humanity of Mr. Garland. Mr. Garland replied that he knew there was none. On the contrary, there was a feeling that it was absolutely necessary to educate the colored race. When lie [Garland] was Governor of Arkansas he had appointed a colored man to a prmcipalship in one of the schools. He thought 4lie bill before the Senate should be passed, whether in its present precise form or not he would not say. He thought it the most important one that had been before the Senate since the war. Mr. Vance spoke in support of the bill. He had no doubt the senator from Ohio [Mr. Sherman] attached more value to the negro as an ignorant person—as a fruitful source of investigation—than he would attach to a negro as an intelligent man and intelligent voter. No doubt he answered the purposes of that Senator better in ignorance than with intelligence. Mr. Ingalls congratulated Mr. Vance on the adroit appeal he had addressed to tho Northern sentiment on this subject He had said while the people of North Carolina were not asking money, they were willing to accept it as a gratuity for tho benefit of the colored people. The census tables showed tho white illiteracy in North Carolina was 32 per cent.; lienee the gratuity would bo very largely to the whites as well as the blacks. The blacks in that State, in Mr. Ingalls’s opinion, made a much moro commendable showing in regard to education than the whites. In the course of the day’s debate a message was received from tho House announcing the agreement of that body to the report of its conference committee on the Senate joint resolution appropriating SIO,OOO for the contingent fund of the Senate, and further announcing the nonconcurrence of tho House in the Senate amendments to the urgency of the deficiency bill. The Senate agreed to the report of its committee of conference on the joint resolution, and adhered to its amendments to the deficiency bill, and on that a committee of conference was appointed. After executive session the Senate adjourned. THE HOUSE. A Number of Bills Introduced and Referred. Washington, March 24.—Mr. Randall submitted the conference report on the Senate resolution providing for an addition of SIO,OOO to the Senate contingent fund. Agreed to. The House recedes from the amendment which confines the expenditure of the sum to the investigations previously ordered, and agrees to an amendment which confines the expenditure to the payment of current expenses of special and select committees. Mr. Randall, from tho committee on appro priations, reported back the litne deficiency bill, with the Senate amendments, recommending concurrence in some and non-concurrence in others. The recommendations were agreed to. Bills were introduced and referred as follows: By Mr. Herbert: Providing that registers of the laud offices shall not be allowed fees for correcting their own errors. By Mr. Perkins: Granting the right of way through the Indian Territory to the Southern Kansas Railroad Company. By Mr. Morrill: Providing for a uniform grade of rating for invalid pensions and abolishing all distinction on account of rank in pensions hereafter granted. By Mr. Money: To secure cheaper correspondence by telegraph. By Mr. Hardy: To prevent fraudulent re-use of empty cigar boxes, also, making honorablydischarged soldiers eligible to certain government appointments, without passing civil-service examination. By Mr. Culbertson, of Texas: To repeal the restriction on the coinage of the silver dollar. By Mr. Van Eaton: A resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury for information in regard to any contract entered into by the government in which the Territory of Alaska, or industries connected therewith are concerned. The House proceeded to the consideration of District business, and shortly afterward adjourned. Pennsylvania Outlaws. Port Richmond, Pa., March 24.—A number of notorious outlaws, who are supposed to be iu league with the Molly Maguires that find safe refuge in this section, have formed an oath bound brotherhood, and under the guidance of a black-listed miner, formerly employed in the Monongahela valley, will visit disturbed sections of the coal fields in western Pennsylvania to per petrate a series of Molly Maguire outrages. Among the banditti are a number of desperate men who are believed to be fugitive murderers and conspirators, and they will bo vigilantly hadowed by members of a detective corps ein

ployed by the coal and railroad companies. The chief of the coal and iron police of Clearfield, Westmoreland county, has been privately apprised of the intended visit, and a sharp watch will be kept upon the marauders as soon as they make their advent in these regions. INDIANA AND THE PRESIDENCY. A Canvass of tho State with Reference to the Character of the Republican Nominee. Special to the New York Times. A pretty thorough canvass of presidential preferences has been made during the past weeks in the interest of no candidate, and embracing not only the leading workers of the party, but the substantial, quiet business men of the State. The canvass has been directed more toward the character of the nominee that should be than his name. Without question Mr. Blaine still leads largely among Indiana Republicans, but the expression for him is almost uniformly on first impulses, because of his brilliancy, his abil ity on the stump and in Congress to hold his own, his “jingoism,” to use an expression now thoroughly understood, and largely because ho seems to stand as the representative of General Garfield, who was beloved by tho party in Indiana deeply and fervently. Mr. Blaine's candidacy would be hailed with enthusiasm, and would wake up the echoes, at least for a time. When other names are suggested that of Mr. Lincoln is very frequently heard. He represents a sentiment that springs spontaneously to Republicans, and upon the current of that sentiment he seems to ride with much strength. But when the question is pushed beyond the domain of enthusiasm and sentiment the sober second thought of business men and of careful, prudent politicians who drop their plummet into the undercurrents, the expressions of choice take in such men as Mr. Edmunds and Mr. Sherman. and not a few. President Arthur, for the negative qualities of his administration, and because the business and industrial interests of the nation have not been disturbed by any sort of a “brilliant policy,” foreign or domestic. If preferences run upon military lines, General Logan is the first name heard. He is popular with the Republicans of Indiana, who remember his soldierly record, and also his repeated services in close campaigns in this State. There are these three elements at work: Enthusiasm and sentiment, conservative business thought, and military halo. Each has its man, but the reflective choice is for a man combining the three, if possible. And so Indiana Republicans largely, if not unanimously, feel that one of their lead ing men presents the broadest and best grounds upon which a compromise can be reached, and a compromise that would not give the party a second-rate candidate, but a first rate one in all the qualities which seem to be demanded of the Republican nominee. In all the canvass the shadow of the man on horseback protrudes, in the shape of General Sherman. Enthusiasm and military glory com bine in him. while the objections to his erratic temperament are 'met an3 silenced with the statement that his brother John will take care of all that. With Sherman is coupled the name of Governor Porter, whose popularity in this State is such as to render it quite certain that with his name on the ticket the electoral vote of Indiana would not he in doubt. The same is true, of course, should Indiana be given the head of the ticket. There are not a few people. and they are found in the quiet business classes, who favor Grant as the candidate, believing that he combines the qualities so much to be desired in a President of firmness and conservatism. But a careful canvass of the sentiment of Indiana, not as to names, but character, shows that stability, soundness, and conservatism are the qualities desired, especially if they can be found combined with a record which will touch sentiment and evoke enthusiasm. In the search for such a man Indiana Republicans will goto Chicago ready to unite with their associates from other States, and the choice when made will be the choice of Indiana, without dissension or back biting. FAST MAILS. General Gresham Defines His Position in Regard to the New Service. Minneapolis, March 24.—The Evening Journal of to-morrow will contain an interesting communication from Postmaster-general Gresham in response to a letter asking him to define the position of the department iu regard to the new fast-mail service. General Gresham says: “The manner in which the mails had been dispatched west and northwest of Chicago for a long while was discreditable to the department. I first shortened the tim. between New York, Boston and Chicago. A fast-mail train arrives at the latter place at 12:40 at night. Having gained this much, the next thing to be done was to shorten the time beyond Chicago. This 1 found very difficult to do. A large mail was taken to Chicago, and. of course, a very heavy mail was taken on there. The train from the East was liable to be delayed at times. 1 felt compelled, for those reasons, to have the trains from Chicago for the West and Northwest leave an hour or two after the schedule time for the arrival of the train from the East. While the purpose was to shorten time b tween the Atlantic and Pacific and all intermediate points, Chicago was too largo a place to be treated as a mere way-station. Two hours and a quarter, all things considered, is not too much time to spend at that place.” General Gresham says, in conclusion, that he has done tho very best he could in this matter to accommodate the whole country, and denies, emphatically, that the delay in Chicago is for the benefit of the local newspapers. They, as a matter of fact, made a strong fight to have the trains leave at 4:30 a. m. Tlie Kirkland Case. Toronto, Out.. March 24.—1n a letter to tho press, to-night, Goldwin Smith says: “The case of Kirkland, a member of the the American lumber firm, arrested for conspiracy, and for whom I have become bail, lias been identified in the public mind with other cases of a more political character. I wish to say, therefore, that in consenting to become bail for him, I was moved only by natural sympathy for the position of a stranger, and by a feeling that it would be most consistent with the honor of che country that a foreigner in the hands of public justice should receive the same consideration which was extended to our own citizens ” A South Carolina Cyclone. Columbia, S. C., March 24.—About daybreak this morning a cyclone passed over the county three miles northwest of Columbia. Considerable damage was done to farm property. Eyewitnesses say the storm approached with a terrible roaring sound, bursting on the people almost as soon as seen. G. T. Taylor, hearing the storm coming, called to his wife, who jumped from bed and ran into tho next room, followed by her husband. Almost instantly the building was leveled and the heavy timbers pressed Tay lor and wife to the floor. Both were severely injured. Another Corning Outrage. New Lexington, 0., March 24.— Advices from Corning shew that the trouble is not over there. John Meyers, commander of the post of the Grand Army of the Republic, states that he was assaulted, abused and threatened on Thursday night last, by some of the men indicted for the recent assault on McDevitt, that he took refuge in a hall, and remained two days without food. He then fled to Columbus. Suit Against David 11. Bailey. Cincinnati, March 24.—Suit was brought by United States Attorney Chanuing Richards, today, against David H. Bailey, late United States consul to Hong Kong, to recover $38,000 said to have been collected by him as consul, in fees and as wages, which he has not accounted for to the United States nor to the individuals to whom it was due. Suit has also been brought against his bondsmen. Keystone Bridge Troubles. Point Pleasant, W. Ya., March 25. —The Western Union linemen, engaged yesterday in putting wires on tin* Keystone Bridge Company’s bridge, were arrested this morning on warrants charging trespass. They were released on bond.

United States Marshal Atkinson left for Parkersburg to day with the employes of the bridge company, who were arrested yesterday, for tlie purpose of taking them before Judge Jackson on the charge of contempt. Arrested for Murder. Lexington, Ky., March 24.—Riley Horde was arrested here to-day at tho instance of the sheriff of Green county. Tennessee, on the charge of murdering Mrs. Hunter, who was murdered on Feb. 14, in Green county, Tennessee, by a gunshot fired through the window. Horde is very nervous, and evidently knows something about the murder. He is a relative of Alfred Horde, who was arrested in Green county and bound over to the Circuit Court on the same charge, last week.
