NATIONAL CAPITAL TOPICS. Speaker Carlisle Thinks Congress 'Will Not Adjourn Before August. Tostal Telegraph Bills to Go Over —Railroads Granted Right of Way Through Indian Territory—Minor Mention. CONCERNING ADJOURNMENT. Speaker Carlisle Does Not Think It Will Be Had Before August. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. May 31.—Speaker Carlisle does not believe with Mr. Randall that Congress will adjourn in June. He thinks it will be nearer August He intimated to a friend to day that it would not bo good taste for the House to urge an adjournment for the convention at Chicago in July. Then there are many measures that ought to be passed before adjournment is had. “It looks to me, r said the Speaker, “as though thero was a great deal to do before we go home. .Now that the tariff is off our hands, I don't think we ought to run away from our work, just as though that was all we had to do. I think it will help us to remaiu and do something.” ( POSTAL TKLRGRAPHS. All the Bills on the Subject to Go Over to the Next Session of Congress. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, May 31.—1 t is well understood now that the bills looking toward postal teleg raphy are not to be taken up at this session, but are to be acted upon early in the next session ©f this Congress. This will give the telegraph companies time to organize their opposition. From the number of petitions they are sending here from all parts of the country, petitioning against any interference with the telegraph business on the ground that it is not right for the government to engage in enterprises that belong to the people, the opposition, it seems, will bo quite formidable. The matter is not a political one. It originated in a Republican Senate committee, and was indorsed by a Democratic committee in tho House. COL. BURNSIDK’S DE F ALC ATION. He Invested Public Money in Standard Oil, and Lost. National Republican. There was much more of pity for Burnside’s sad plight than of exultation over his fall in tho expressions of men on the street yesterday. He Is believed by many to havo been the complete dupe of Levis, and there are some things which show that his illusions in regard to that versatile swindler are not even yet dispelled. On Wednesday night, when Sharp and Burnside were talking together at the latter’s house, Burnside declared that Levis's story as to the broker with the “tip" from the Standard Oil Company was perfectly true. He said that Levis was making money rapidly and paying out legitimate profits actually made to investors until the crash came in Wall street Then it was only because ho didn’t have as much money as tho Standard Oil Company that he broke. The Standard Oil Company told their broker to “stand under the market” and that “tip” was immediately telegraphed to Levis, who accordingly bought. The oil company with plenty of money, could “stand under the market,’’even if it sagged considerably, but it did not require much of a drop to crush Levis and his little money. “I hesitated some time before going into it.” said Burnside to Sharp, “and at first I only in vested a little money, but the profits rolled up so fast that I put in more and more until” Thf?re he stopped without finishing the sen tence. He has not at nn> time said that he used government money, but he came very near it just then. “Its too bad,’’ said Mr. Sharp, “that von didn't find Levis in New York and break his head.” “I didn’t go to New York,” replied the Colonel, “to find Levis. I went to look alter that money, but it was tied up. It was tied up,” he repeated in a hopeless tone. Much has been said about Burns : de’s extravagant way of living and his expensive establish ment, hut there seems to be but one reason for such talk. He usually owned several fine, fast horses, and drove and rode them a great deal, so that people came to think that he was spending much money in horse flesh. A friend of his said yesterday that he made money instei'd of spend mg it in horses. He hought'raw colts, “shaped them up.” and always sold them at an advance. His excursions with the National Rifles and the like, also gave jieople the impression that he was something of a spendthrift. “People don’t stop to think.” Httid this same friend, “that the colo nels nro always ‘deadheaded’ on trains and at hotels, and it's only the privates who havo to pay. It cost Burnside mighty little money to travel.” WORK IN THE HOUSE. The Time Consumed Over Rights of Way Through Indian Territory. Washington, May 31. — Mr. Perkins, of Kansas. reported a bill granting the right of way through the Indian Territory to the Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf Railroad Company. House calendar. . On motion of Mr. Welborn, of Texas, a resolu tion was adopted authorizing the committee on Indian affairs to investigate all matters touching tho leasing, sub leasing and fencing of lands in the Indian Territory and the disbursement of the $300,000 appropriated for the Cherokee Nation the Forty seventh Oongiess. fFiio bill granting the light of way through the Indian Territory to the Gulf. Colorado & Santa Fc Railroad Company gave rise to a good deal o! discussion. It was finally passed, after its con sideration had consumed the greater part of the day. A hill was also passed granting the right of way through the Indian Territory to the South ern Kansas Railroad Company. A bill was considered authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to obtain from the lied Lak< Chippewa life inns cession of a portion of tin lied Lake reservation, in Minnesota, but without final action tho House, at 5:13, adjourned. MINOR MENTION. Mr. Morrison Doesn’t Want To ISo Addressed as Mr. Vice-President. Bpecial to the I mlinnnpolU Journal. Washington, May 31.—Mr. Morrison, of horizontal tariff reduction fame, looked red in tin face for a moment to-day, as he rodo up in tin House elevator with your correspondent, who addressed him as “Mr. Vice-president” It seemed to touch him in a tender spot, and ht couldn’t muster a reply for several seconds “Oh! whut’s the matter with you?” he finally said. “I don’t like lobe piomoted so prema turoly,” ho continued, looking more emtmr ras6ed. Mr. Morrison is a modest'man, am 1 may be said to be rather timid, lie very scl dom speaks in the House, and when ho does it \> quite briof and in low tones, unless he is mad then ho doesn’t measure words nor timo. H< has a temper, and ho doesn't try to bridle it Senator Lapliam us nil Art Critio. Washington Special. /Senator Laphum has a high reputation as ar art crtNc. Ho was called upon, today, to visit the room of the Senate library committee an inspect a jKirtratt of General Garfield, which an artist has recently presented to tho government The picture is a mosaic, similar to the onocf Lincoln now hanging in Statuary Hall. TL mosaic portrait of Garfield is also by the sate.. iulist. At a distance the joining of the sma'

pieces which make up the picture do not show, except upon tho white shirt-front. Senator Lap ham was asked to give his opinion of the picture, lie looked at it with an air of the most profound wisdom through his black rimmed eye-glasses, when lie said: “1 think that it is a very good portrait, hut I don’t liko tho checked shirt. 1 don’t see quite how an artist of taste could havo put such a shirt on Garfield. Now Garfield al wavs wore a white shirt" The Senator paused in iiis remarks at this point The members of tho library'committee looked so thoroughly <le lighted and amused at this line of criticism, that Lapham suddenly shut up like a meat-trap, and a moment afterwards waddled out of the com-mittee-room in a great state of indignation, say ing that next time that a library committe ' got him down to examine a picture for them they would know it. Deaths in .Southern Prison Pens. Washington Special. A recent report from the committee on invalid peusions, touching the question of pensions for men who were confined in confederate prisons during the war, gives some startling figures. It states that 60,000 of tho Union troops died in confederate prisons, or immediately after being released therefrom, and add that the total number killed or dying from wounds during the war was but 78.000; that nearly' as many deaths wero caused by confederate prisons as by confederate bullets. The number of enlisted men who were killed—died of wounds in service—was ono to twenty-eight; while tho number of enlisted men who died while in prison was one in five. “Individual Suspension’' Day. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June I.—To-morrow will be “individual suspension" day in the House, and first on the list for recognition is Mr. Hiscock. of New York, who will move to suspend the rules and pass the bill abolishing the tax on tobacco. It is not thought that tho bill will have strength enough to pull through; in fact, it is not gener ally believed that anything will be done duriug the week. There will certainly be no quorum of voting members present. CAUGHT BY A CLOUD-BUItST. Eleven Cowboys Drowned by a Midnight Deluge—The Camp Swept Away. Denver, Col., May 31.—Word was received here to night that a cattle round-up camp on the Frenchman creek in Nebraska, just over tho Colorado line, was destroyed on Thursday by a Hood, and eleven cowboys, belonging to Colorado and Nebraska outfits drowned. Up to last night five bodies had been found, and six cowboys who wero in Jthe camp when the sudden flood came down upon it are missing. When tho tragedy occurred nearly fifty men—rounders, foremen, cattle-owners and cow-boys were in the one camp together. Tho round-up outfit of Colorado round-up district No. 10 arrived at tho Frenchman on Thursday', and meeting the other parties, joined forces and camped with them near the Cooper camp. All of the wagons of the Colorado outfit had been left in the mouth of the old Cheyenne Indiantrail canyon, but the Nebraska parties had theirs with them. Just before night some of the cowboys coming into camp from up the stream, dropped the remark casually that the Frenchman was rising above, but as little rain had fallen in the vicinity of the camp, the dark clouds hanging over the creek fifteen or twenty miles above were not noticed particularly, and none of the men in tho outfits felt tho slightest apprehension of danger. The Frenchman had. during the evening, unnoticed by any of tho round-up outfits, been gathering strength and violence and rising rapidly. and shortly after midnight it is thought that a cloud-burst occurred some distance up the creek, and swelled the little creek to a mighty torrent, which burst the banks and came rushing down upon tho camp in ono mighty wave of water, which swept away wagons, animals and men at once. Just before daybreak the water in the hod of tho Frenchman began to recode, and by daylight the creek had nearly' resumed its old bounds. The banks of tho stream were strewn for miles with fragments of wagons, tents, tent poles and blankets. It was discov ored that the flood had arisen from a cloud-burst, winch had occurred on a small flat at the head of Chey'enne Indian-trail cayon an hour or so before tho camp was swept away. The fall of water tore great holes in the ground and carried down tons of soil and rocks to the creek in one mighty wave, which left no chance of escape to the men in the camp which stood directly in its pathway. CLEARING THE RUINS. Pour Bodies Recovered from the Wrecked Warehouse at Baltimore. Baltimore, May 31.—Up to 1 o’clock todayno more and ad bodies wore recovered from the ruins of the warehouse on South Gay' street. The front wall on Gay' street was pulled down and the workmen are clearing the wreck. It is not probable that any bodies will be reached today. ns a vast quantity of heavy timbers, stone and bales of cotton goods are wedged together to the deph of several stories. At 3 o’clock tho workmen unexpectedly reached a point when they could see Gildea Hook still alive. Stimulants wore administered to keep him alive until tho wreck is removed enough to take him out. Workmen this afternoon gathered from the debris in the Gav-street disaster the bodies of Gildea Hook and Kenneth McLoa, making four bodies recovered. There still remain under the wreck tho bodies of James Kciiy. tho shipping clerk of Messrs. Hooper & Sons, tho colored porter, Edward Bowen, and tho colored drayman, Moulton. Baltimore, Juno I.—Tlio work of inovingthe ruins at No. 37 South Gay street continued throughout last night. To day tho body of Jas. Kelly, chief shipping clerk of Messrs. Hooper was reached. Thousands of people visited the locality of the wreck to-day. “DEFEND YOURSELF.” V Fatal Duel Between a Mississippi Lawyer and Editor. Memphis, May 31.—Tho Appeal’s Batesville, Miss., special says a difficulty occun°d on the streets this morning between IJ. W. Thaler. *ditor of the Batesviilo Blade and Julius Porter, a young lawyer, which resulted in the killing of Porter. Thaler had just loft the poatoPfioe, go ng toward his newspaper building, when Porter •ailed him. Turning around ho saw Porter advancing upon him with a drawn pistol lie said to Thaler, “Defend y'ourself,” and fired two or three shots before Thaler could draw his pistol. Each exchanged fix •“* shots. Porter was shot through tho body and died in a few minutes, rhaler was arrested, but was-discharged at the preliminary trial, having acted in self-defense. The difficulty grow out of accusations made about Porter, which Thaler refused to retract. Court-Room Fired Into, Baltimore. May 31.—Three shots were fired through the western window of the Court of Common Pleas at noon. Judge Fisher was on the bench. Hon. Win. Pinkney Whyte and Colonel Frank S. Ward were trying a case. The oimlow panes were shattered, but no traces ol mile to found. The |x>lice are investigating. At tho time the shots were fired Governor Vjiite was addressing the Court. Ho is of the impression that the shooting was not malicious, but tliat the shots were fired from h cat rifle by a boy. There was an interval of a quarter of an hour between tho shots. Gone Forever.

BANK OFFICIALS IN TROUBLE Arrest at Quebec of John €, Eno, the New York Defaulter. The Penn Bank OfGcors Arrested for Conspiracy to Delrand —Assignment of Washington Bankers. EXO’S ARREST. Captured on Board a Steamship for Liverpool, ands ield at Quebec, New York, May 31. —A Sun special from Quebec to night says: “John C. Eno, the New York defaulter, was arrested at this port this morning on board the outward-bound Dominion steamship Vancouver. Ho had taken his passage in Montreal for Liverpool under the name of Marshall, and carao down from Montreal on board the vessel, which anchored in the stream opposite the city about 4 o’clock on Friday afternoon. He was traveling alone, and had secured one of the best berths in tho steamship. He slept on board all night, and the vessel was about leaving this morning, when, shortly before 10o’clock, the police steam launch put off with High Con stable Bisonotte, and a New York detective, who boarded the vessel ostensibly in search of Hinckley, the runaway paying teller of the West Side Bank. Tho high constable, however, held a warrant for Eno, issued by Judge Dosnoyer, of Montreal. The prisoner made no attempt to deny his identity, and came quietly ashore with the captors. He was subsequently taken before the police magistrate, who gave ah order for his removal to Montreal, where tho warrant was issued. In the meantime Eno had secured counsel, and ho had barely been removed to the Richelieu boat, en route for Montreal, when an order was issued by tho courts here for his detention, and he was taken off the boat and to the St. Louis Hotel under surveillance of the police. At 7 o’clock this evening he was brought before Judge Tessier, of the Queen’s Bench, on an application of his counsel, asking for his discharge on the grounds that ne was guilty of no offense of which our courts could take cognizance. They heard the application, but postponed giving any order in the matter until Monday morning. In the meantime Eno remains in the St. Louis Hotel, in charge of the high eoustabio of this city and a couple of policemen. lie takes his arrest quite coolly. lie says he is the victim of an outrage, alleging that he has committed no crime, and only wanted timo to repay the sow millions he was short in his accounts. As to his escape from his house, he says that ho went up through the sky light and onto the roof, and walked over roofs of adjacent houses until he reached the residence of his lawyer, when ho get into that gentleman’s house, took a cab at the door and caught an outgoing train, coming on to Montreal, where he socured passago on the Vancouver, as above mentioned. It seems that the lighting on Eno this morning was an incident of the hunt for Hinckley, and it was more by good luck than hy guidance that the detectives dropped on Eno. There seems no doubt that Hinckley also has been hero, and probably intended going by the same steamer, but somehow got wind of what was going on. and departed just in time to save being arrested. Eno’s counsel thinks he can not be detained in custody on the charge he has been arrested on. and is confident of his liberation on Monday. Eno seems to be of the same opinion, and threatens prosecution against the constables and detectives. THE PENN BANK.

THE ELECTRIC GIRL, The Wonderful Powers Displayed by an Ignorant Georgia Girl. Louisville, Ky., May 31. —A dowdy-looking, tangled haired, blue-eyed country girl, weighing about ninety pounds, stood this afternoon in tho center of a group of leading Louisville physi cians and press representatives. “Ladies and gentlemen." said her father, “this is Mattie Lee Price, of Barlow county. Georgia, and for want of a better name we call her the magnetic electric girl. You are all invited to test her powers.” Then throe or four strong powerfully made gentlemen sat upon and held on to an ordinary chair. Tho girl placed the palm of her hand on the chair, and in spito ot the combined strength of tho men in the chan would not remain on the floor. There was in* muscular strain or effort on her part, and ye * she could put the powers of Sullivan and tin strong men to the blush. Her story is brief. During the Christmas . holidays she discovered her power, and astonished her playmates by lift nig chairs and tables by tho touch of her hands .She is devoid of cultivation, and although called the electric girl, her power is not electricity. The stoutest man in tho city and a physician, weighing 200 pounds, took hold of a stout hickory stick and, despite their pcrsistauce, the girl danced them all about the room, and it, seemed like a catch as catch cati wrestling match. Four men could not place a chair on the floor while the girl touched it. The doctors, after one liourV test. pronounced her wonderful, and frankly ad initted their inability to say of what the power consisted, but it was certainly in her. She is to appear in public hero and in Cincinnati. THREE ME S KILLED And Seven Terribly Injured By the Explosion of a Boiler. Detroit. Mich., May .31. —Friday aflernooi two boilers in tho mill belonging to Wood & Thayer, one mile east of M<* Erodes, Mon teal tr county, exploded, and literally demolished th* mill. Wesley Ammon, foreman, Newman, and a man named Matthews, were in tho engine room at the time of the explosion, uiul were instantly killed. Their bodies were removed from the ruins in a terribly mutilated condition. Charles Saurers. the head sawyer, had an arm broken, and is badly, and it is feared, fatally injured. Peter Cramer was badly injured about tho head and back, but is likely to recover. Joseph McCullough and William Dyson were also badly injured. It is reported that the wife of one of the men killed, cut her throat last night and killed her sclfc crazed by tho sudden terrible shock. GREENBACK SECRETS. V Kentuckian’* Revelations Concerning ai: Alleged Projected .Sell-Out. Louisville Commercial. A well known politician from the lower part of the State, who is well up in potical matters, whispered in the ear of a Commercial reporter r. very sensational political scheme.which he claims to have discovered while in Indianapolis during the convention of Green backers. The gentle man in question is prominently known as a lead ing Gieenbacker. when at heart ho is a liepub lican. He happened to be well acquainted with i number of the delegates from Northwestern and other States, and they unfolded to hi in th* scheme which is to be worked during the coinin; presidential campaign. The scheme is supposed to have originated in the fertile brain ol Ben Butler, the nominee of the Greenback party tor the followers of the wily Benjamin were th persons who unfolded the secret. Maine, Nev Hampshire. Wisconsin, lowa, Michigan. Kansas Minnesota and Colorado, are conceded to b Republican States, and the Democrats hav . never laid any claim to any of them in a pres! iential contest. In these States there is a htrg* Greenback vote—large enough, should it be con bined with the Democratic vote, to defeat th Republicans. The gentleman whom tho report* not stated that the scheme now on fo< v&s for a fusion between t]ie Grech •ackers and Peutecrftte iu the State nenttoned above, by which they woul >o lost to the Republicans. The scheme i for the Democrats to vote with the Greenbacks!-, tnd elect both tho Greenback candidates forCoi fress and the presidential electors. By such Movement the Democrats would havo nothing I ose and everything to gain. The Grecnbn* congressmen elected would take just that ma fongryssmen away from the Republican pari vhile the. number of Democratic congreesnn would remain the same as it is at present, i he fusion would work Hiiceessfully the Repuhli ids would lose sixty six electoral votes. In teeming electoral college there will Im* 401 vote living tho Democrats the solid South, they w. have 150 of this number, while the Republican .id have 251, including in this count New You Delaware, Nevada atfd New Jersey. In th. Too tion of 1580 Delaware, Nevada and Nc\v .1 cy were carried with small majorities*. I ianrock. They cannot be relied in s certain for llu* next nominee o Democratic. party, an 1, for i .kc of nrgiimctit, they w.ll bo conceded to th

Republicans. Take away from tho Republicans the thirty-six electoral votes going to the Greenback candidates by reason of tin* fusion, and the Republicans have but 185 votes Uft Thi> would' leave Now York the pivotal St ate. Take away from tho Republicans tho thirty six electoral votes of that State would only leave them 149, one vote less than the solid South of the Democrats. If the fusionLsts should not suc*v-cd in carrying the States named, tho R ‘publicans would have enough votes outside of New York to elect their candidate, but with tho loss of New York and the fusion States tlioy would be terribly defeated. The prodigiousness of the scheme, as the Kentucky gentleman pictures it. can readily l>c seen. Thy Only way it can be defeated is by those Greonbackers who pro Republicans at heart re* fusing to go into tho fusion. A Lesson frtf’m Burnside's Case. National Republican. The milk lias been spilled, and there is not much to Le gained by moralizing over the disaster. It teaches a lesson, however, and points to a defect in our civil service that lies within the power and the province of Congress to rem edy. Does it not. occur to our law-qnaKPVS. os sensible men, that $2,000 or $3,000 is too .small a salary to pay men \\ ho are entrusted with the handling of millions of dollars annually? Colonel Burnside received $2,100 a year for his services. lie might have made way with at any time, his bondsmen alone being responsible to tho Extent of his official bond. Big salaries do not necessarily buy honesty, but decent, living salaries will naturally command a higher grade of men than small salaries, and when the cashiers of banks are paid from $4,000 to $40,000 a year talent naturally drifts that way. Nono but firstclass business men of known integrity should be placed in positions of trust, and as first class bnsiness men can earn from four to twenty times as much on tho outside as the government will pay for their services, they cannot always ho had for wlmt the government is willing to giva Let Congress pay salaries that will be an object, and good men can be found to take positions of responsibility. French Action Against American Pork. J ol* il b. Glover, United Staten Consul t Havre. I have thought for a longtime that the French edict against tho American hog product would l*o removed, but have been wholly disappointed. When M. Ferry, some time ago made a speech at Havre, ho said he was decidedly with the people of that port on that question. I supposed that liis influence would bring about the repeal. The French people in and about Havre regard the interdict as an outrage, for which thero is no reason whatever. Havre, being the great seaport, has used great quantities of pork and would do so again. The interdict was brought about by the speculators at Nantes, the great pork headquarters. Every investigation of the jM>rk lias been favorable. The great school of pharmacy at Paris decided by a vote of seventynine to on* 1 that it was healthy food, and that it was inexpedient te keep it out of the countrv. Jules Ferry is the great man of France. He has a level head and holds the Republic well in hand. Gambetta was more dashing. Ferry is solid. From my observation, tho French Republic has come to stay. A Suggestion to All Clubs. Milwaukee h'entiuol. A disgusted Milwaukeean has telegraphed to the Milwaukee base-bailers to “pound that umpire.” It would be. much better if they would pound that ball. Safely and certainly that great external remedy, Glenn's Sulphur Soap, removes cutaneous eruptions by. opening the pores whose obstruction was the cause of the difficulty.
