THE CITY IN BRIEF. Mrs. Evans, aged fifty-eight, wife of May bum Evans, has been declared insane, the result of religious excitement. The First National Bank yesterday entered suit on a note for $0,195 given by tho Indian upolis Car and Manufacturing Company. The ladies of Memorial Church will give a broom drill at the College-avenue rink to-morrow night, for the benefit of the Childrens' Aid Society. Marriage licenses were issued yesterday to John Kuhn and Annie Metzner, Thornton A. Mills and Cora Li. Carson. Philip Messmer and Josephine Oehle. Greenup Baldwin and Martha A. Jones. Herman E. Thoms and Sophia B. Goth. Judge Taylor has overruled the petition of the •dministrator of the Voss estate to have his claim of $2.‘i,000 against Fletcher <& Shame preferred, and he has also refused to allow A. T. liewis for extra services as an assistant in connection with the affairs of the Indiana Banking Company. Judge Norton yesterday acquitted William Eulloway and Harvey of the charge of grand larceny. They were indicted for the theft of a diamond stud, of the alleged value of SSO. Tho testimony showed that they took the “jewel,” which was not worth more than fifty cents, from a friend as a practical joke, for which they suffered a month's imprisonment in the county jail. Fletcher M. Noe has been appointed by Gen eral Carnahan to take charge of the Indiana geological and natural history exhibit at the New Orleans Exposition. Mr. Noe will take his entire private collection, and it is hoped that others having similar collections which they are willing to exhibit will correspond with him at once. All articles will be pl;w:ed in glass cases, and will be well taken care of. Not Our Howard. A current item, which is being widely published, is as follows: Howard Barnes, poor, dissipated and sick, shot himself in the woods near Truckee, Nev.. last week. Five years ago Barnes was one of the wealthiest gamblers, saloon keepers and 6porting men in Indianapolis. He was a tall, handsome man, and his gallantries, together with his love of strong drink, led to his downfall. There is evidently some mistake about this, as the guileless Mr. Barnes, who used to shine here, is now training the tiger in Detroit, and is prosperous, and. possibly, happy.

Ritter for Blaine—Why N. 11. Clarke Is for Calkins—Protection in Germany. A reporter of the Journal met Col. EH F. Ritter yesterday and put the question to him, ‘’Who are you going to vote for for President?'’ “I have no hesitation,” said Mr. Ritter, "in saying that I shall vote Blaine and Logan. I have said so publicly in several speeches. I shall also vote for Stanton J. Peelle for Congress in this district.” “Why do you favor the election of Blaine and Logan?” "Because I believe the moral and Christian men of this Nation should do nothing that would in way assist in the election of a man like Grover Cleveland. 1 have great admiration for General Logan, as well as a high regard for Mr. Blaine, but the reason that I have given is all sufficient to determine my vote on the presidential question.” NATHAN H. CLARKE FOR CALKINS. Meeting Mr. E. B. Reynolds, the well-known temperance man, yesterday, a Journal reporter held a brief talk with him on current political questions. “By the way,” said Mr. Reynolds, “X had a talk this morning with Nathan XI. Clarke, the Quaker preacher, a prominent Friend of Westfield, Hamilton county, and our conversation turned on the candidates for Governor, of the Republican and Democratic parties in Indiana. I said to him frankly that while I did not recognize Mr. Calkins as a temperance man in the strict sense of the word, that is, as a total abstainer, that I did not believe there was a particle of truth in the stories so industriously circulated about his drinking habits.- I told him the question presented itself this way. "It was either Calkins or Gray for Governor of Indiana: that the Republican platform favored a constitutional convention in which we could get the chance to vote we have so long asked, and in that party we had always met fair consideration. On the other hand. Gray stands with a party and upon a platforn that plainly tells us we shall have nothing. Mr. Clarke said he viewed it in that light himself. In whose hands then should our trust and strength be placed, I asked. To which Mr. Clarke answered,certainly in the hands of Calkins and the Republican party.”

FREE TRADE AND PROTECTION IN GERMANY. “I have visited Germany eight times within the past few years, n said Mr. Fsehr, one of the proprietors of the Spencer House, to a reporter, “and have seen that country both under freotrade surroundings and under the present system of self-protection that now prevails,” Mr. Faohr returned from his last visit to Germany on Wednesday of last week. The reporter encouraged him to talk. . “I can give you no figures by way of comparing the condition of workingmen under free trade and under protection, and can only speak generally., but it is an acknowledged fact that the German workingman, under the protective system that now prevails, is much better off than he was prior to its adoption. His wages are greater and he lives better. This encouragement co labor has opened new industries. Goods are now made in Germany that heretofore came from France, and not only are they now made and sold cheaper in Germany than they were sold by France, but their manufacture gives employment to many workmen who either would not make them at all or would be making them in France.” “Here,’’continued Mr. Fsehr, “are some articles I bought in Frankfort-on the-Main* He showed a beautiful bronze inkstand, a chatelaine of antique design, and other aitides. “All these things,” said he, were made in France a few years ago, and not made in Germany at all. They were imported into Germany and sold higher than they now do. This pocket book, for instance, cost only $2.25, 1 am told that exactly the same thing made in France was, prior to the awakening of this inindustry in Germany, fostered and encouraged by protection, sold at sl. Ido not pretend to say there is no depression in Germany, for there is in several branches ot indu *y. notably in large iron interests: but the country generally is iu bettor condition than it would be (and than it was) under free trade. The workman is not only better fed now, but he is better elorhed, and there is encouragement given to enterprise and ingenuity by the protective system. Bismarck has not, until recently, been in favor of protection, but his views have changed to suit the condition of the times. ” His Honor .Misrepresented. Judge Norton, of the Criminal Court, was misrepresented in the papers yesterday, which stated that he had refused the use of his courtroom for the old soldiers’ meeting on Wednesday night. He says that he did not even know that the meeting was to be held, and no request was made of him for the use of the room, or it would have been cheerfully granted, for since he has been judge his room has frequently been used by Republicans and Democrats alike for political conventions and like assemblies. The old soldiers held their meeting there last night. The difficulty about a meeting place the night before was evidently that nobody wont to the trouble to engage the court-room for it, as they should have done. Cal Wagner’s Minstrels. Cal Wagner gave a performance at the Grand last night to a fair audience. The company is not overwhelmingly strong, in either numbers or talent, but the programme contained some enter taining features, notably the comical business of Wagner and Lew Benedict, the singing of the Quaker City quartet, and the musical special ties of Charles Scheming. Fletoher & Sharpe Real Estate at Auction. The sale is adjourned until Saturday morning at 10, at which hour, and in the afternoon at 2 o’clock, the property not already sold will be offered, including the bank building.

AN EXTENSION 0E HIS LIFE. The Execution of Koerncr Postponed by the Governor Three Weeks, So that He May More Fully Investigate the Case—How the Condemned Man Received the Good News. Andrew J. Koerner, the wife murderer, who was to have been hanged here to-day, has been granted a three weeks’ extension of life by Governor Porter, who desires time to fully investigate the case before giving a decision upon the petition for a commutation of the sentence. As the Supreme Court yesterday denied the petition for a rehearing, his Excellency alone can prevent the execution of the death penalty, and nobody can blame him for asking further time for reading the evidence and considering the various circumstances attending the tragedy and the conviction. The Governor, who is at present in the southern part of the State, had been apprised by telegraph of the petitions, which were numerously signed by leading citizens, asking for either a commutation of Koerner’s sentence or a brief respite so that the case might be carefully investigated. Yesterday afternoon he sent the following dispatch, which was received here at 3:30 o’clock: Huntingburg, Oct. 30. J. W. Heps, Sheriff Marion Comity: Andrew Koerner. sentenced to be hanged by you on the 31st inßt-., having been convicted upon purely circumstantial evidence, and a large number of the best citizens of Indianapolis having petitioned me to suspend the execution of said sentence for a reasonable time to consider an application for the commutation of said sentence, they desiring that I shall read all the evidence in the cause, and consider all subsequent facts that may have come to light. 1 direct, out of respect for their most serious request, that you do suspend the execution of said sentence until Friday, the 21st day of November, 1884, on which day, between the hours prescribed by law, I direct that you proceed to execute said sentence by hanging said Andrew Keener, unless you shall be otherwise commanded by proper authority. Albert G. Porter. Governor of Indiana. HOW KCERXEU RECEIVED THE NEWS. A Journal reporter went with Sheriff Hess to inform Koerner of the good news. Ho was found in the private office of the jail, talking to his brother Valentine, his wife and their little boy. Said Mr. Hess: “Koerner, I have a little better news for you this time. Your execution has been put off three weeks by the Governor, so that he can have time to carefully examine the case.” The prisoner looked up, but did not appear to fully comprehend what was being said to him. and only remarked, “Yes.” The sheriff then read him the Governor's message, and asked him if he understood it. He said that he thought he did, and his brother further explained it to him in German. It was fully live minutes, however, before he did understand it, and all this time he sat there with a blank look on his face and nervously twitching a handkerchief which he held. Finally he seemed to grasp what was meant, and he went back into the cell, smiling, and apparently with a great load lifted off his mind. HOW HE SPENT YESTERDAY. Koerner was apparently in good spirits when he arose yesterday morning, and ate heartily at breakfast. To his minister and friends who called, he again and again affirmed his innocence of the crime of which he is accused, and said he could make nc confession for ho had nothing to confess. About 2 o’cluck in the afternoon, his three little children, a boy and two girls, were brought in to see him, and he was greatly affected by their visit. At first they were disposed to be diffident, and not “make up” with him. as they had not seen him for so long, but they got over this and affectionacely returned his caresses. They spent about an hour with him and were taken away, before he learned of his prolonged lease on life. Henry Russe, president of the German Orphan Asylum, where the children are staying, says that on a former occasion he told them that they ought to visit their father, and the oldest, a little girl six years of age. said: “I don’t want to see him—he killed my ma. ” When Koerner was asked yesterday evening what he had to say about his case he said: “I am not guilty. I don’t see how they can punish me this way. I can answer for my innocence before God, but I suppose that I must suffer, and I would rather die than be imprisoned for life.”

WHAT IS THOUGHT OF THE RESPITE. The news of the Governor's action spread rapidly about the streets and it was very generally approved, and the opinion was freely expressed that under the circumstances, his Excellency could not consistently have* done otherwise. The petition in his office, which was signed^by several hundred leading men of the city, simply asked that he fully investigate Koerner’s case, and read all the testimony before making a final decision as to the commutation of the sentence. He could not possibly have done this in the brief time before the execution. His action of yesterday’s by no means implies that lie will finally commute the sentence to imprisonment for life, but on the contrary, it is believed by those who know him best, that lie will not do jin is. Generally, however, it is thought that Koerner will not be hanged. The sheriff will leave the scaffold and appointments substantially as they now are, awaiting the final decision. THE PETITION FOR A REHEARING. The petition for a rehearing of the argument .on the appeal for anew trial in the Koerner murder case, was overruled by the Supreme Court yesterday. In his remarks upon the petition Judge Claypool, the principal counsel of Koerner, called especial attention to the eleventh instruction by the court, and added “We take this unusual mode because of the emergency and importance of the matter. lam strongly impressed that the honorable author of the opinion of the court has unintentionally made a grave mistake.” In the written argument on the petition for a rehearing the counsel said: “The author in revising his opinion interlined these words, to-wit: ‘little or no,’ thus betraying a consciousness that these little words were necessary to relieve the eleventh instruction given by the court from one of the objections made by the defendant. The eleventh instruction, as given, did not contain these words, and if they were necessary to make the instruction correct, why the care ot the learned author of the opinion in inserting them by interlineation iu his interpretation of the instruction! “If the words ‘little or no.’ thus interpolated, change in any wise the meaning of the eleventh instruction, wliat judicial license will justify the interpolation where a man's life and liberty are at stake? If the words so interpo lated in no wise add to or change the meaning of the eleventh instruction, why the care in interlining the words ‘little or no?’ Would this court be willing to strike out from the language quoted from the opinion the words ‘iittle or no,’ and send out that language in tho reports of its decisions as a correct statement of the law upon the subject involved? ****** We have not time to extend this petition, and it may be useless to have done as much as we have, but we cannot rid ourselves of the unpleasant sensation that there is room for grave doubts about the guilt of the defendant, and certainly about his getting more punishment than the crime, if guilty, justifies. If we assume that the defendant is guilty, and that he made the line of tracks proven td divert suspicion, lie did a better job in this regard than might be expected from one of his acknowledged stupidity, and that, too, without time to consider his action.” Indianapolis Lecture Course—Third Season. The third course of entertainments of the Indianapolis lecture course is now perfected. It presents a connected, consecutive combination of ten entertainments, to be given on Wednesday evenings.
