Shaping Things for the Election of Himself as United States Senator. “Do you know,” said a Democratic politician, “what Hon. William 11. English is after?” For jome time two men in his employe have been at the office of the Secretary of State, getting tho names of the county officers in the various countie* in this State, especially of thoso who are Democrats. The county officers are tho live, working politicians, those who make and unmake statesmen. Now, Mr. English has long desired to he United States Senator. He begins to see his way clear to the goal of his ambition. Joseph E. McDonald will be placed on the supreme bench of the United States, and Mr. English, knowing this, perhaps having a better assurance of it than most of us imagine, is laying qlans to succeed General Harrison as Senator and he will begin at the bottom and buildup. Governor Gray had better be vigilant. or Mr. English will capture the plum. Mr. stands in an especially favorable position. Vice president Hendricks is his friend. So is ex-senator McDonald, and so, also, is Senator Voorhees. It is hardly disclosing a party secret to say that all these great men lpok upon Governor Gray as an interloper, and will unite to choke him off where he is and not allow him to climb nny higher on tho ladder of fame.” A Drummer's Assault on a Lady. Yesterday morning John St urges, a commercial traveler from New York, was arrested for criminally assaulting Annie Brown, en route to her home in Oregon, at the Spencer House. About 1 o'clock he went to the door of her room aßd knocked. She opened it, when Sturges forced hia way into the room. Assistance came in answer to her cries for help. He was fined $25 and gent to jail for thirty days by tho mayo* A Saloon-Keeper Makes an Assignment. Louis Landau, a saloon keeper on North Illinois street, made an assignment to VV.

AN ACTIVE TRADE IN IRON. The Indianapolis Manufacturers Have All the Work They Can Do. An Increase in business Which Will Necessisate the Employment of a larger Number of Workmen at Hau^hville. When asked, yesterday, how his establish ment. tho ITaugh iron works, was meeting the demands made upon it for work, Superintendent Haugh said that all winter and summer they had as much as they could do. ‘'We arc running," he remarked, “a full force of workmen now, and as the outlook couM not he better, the so-called depression in industries does not and will not affect us.” As the reporter passed through the establishment, on every side were seen evidences of a very prosperous condition. Here were huge iron girders in the process of completion, there ornamental work, further on iron fencing, and in another place the odds and ends of iron and steel products, for which the works have considerable demand. The superintendent said: “We have just put up in Crawfordsville one of our rotary jails, and have shipped a portion of one we have under contract for Council Bluffs, la. That car over there is being loaded with the ceil flooring for another jail in Marysville, Mo. Here you can see other parts of it. This rotary jail is an invention of ours, and is built around a huge iron center pillar which also answers for a smoke stack. The cell tiers are circular in form and there can he one, two or three tiers as desired. The cell department we are building for Council Bluffs will weigh about 70,000 pounds, and the whole can be rotated by a crank, the maximum pressure on which at the outset is only twentyfour pounds. In motion the pressure can be lessened to fifteen or twelve pounds. A prisoner passes from the jailer’s office into a small apartment and the outer door is lockeij upon him. He steps then into a cell and the jailer or turnkey turns the crank, sending the cell perhaps to the other side of tho circle. An occupant of one of these cells may bo on ono sido of the jail one minute and on another the next. He is always uncertain as to where his cell will be, thus taking away from him any inducement to attempt to cut through the floors, for his calculations as to the fitness of one place for an attempt to escape will hold good no longer than the time tho cell rests in that place. Around these tiers of cells is built a steel grating of heavy bars, through which it is impossible for any one to cut his way. A prisoner or.ce inside is away from all connection with tho jail officials or others. If he is wanted, it is only necessary to turn the crank to bring his cell around to the entrance door.” “You see this?" asked Mr. Ilaugh, picking up a corrugated piece of sheet-iron, about two and a half feet long. “It is an iron lath. We are making them #for the new State-house. We have just completed a contract for these laths for the government buildings at Toledo, 0., and Topeka. Kan. By the way, we have done a great deal of all classes of iron work for government buildings. Thoso in Boston, Albany, Kansas City and Dos Moines have been largely supplied by us. We have even filled contracts on the buildings in Washington City. These girders you soe are for tho new State-house. For the samo building wo have a contract for iron stairways. Over there are the parts for 450 cells for the Frankfort penitentiary. That ornamental work you see outdoors in bases and capitals is for tho Pensacola, Fla., custom-house. We filled a large contract of that kind for t' e government building in Baltimore. In Oskaloosa, la., we have other work to do. and so on. There is enough here for us to do for a yoar to come. But while the prices are low orders are plenty. Wo see nothing of dull times in this establishment. It is not unfrequent for us to run night as well as day.” The Malleable iron works, not far from the Haugh plant, are being enlarged by a building thirty feet wide and 500 feet long. It is understood that this increase of capacity is to meet extensive contracts lately made with a Chicago firm for over $1,000,000 worth of the works’ products. Manager Thornton refused to give any particulars as to this contract, or any other, saying: “Wo think the public will know we are getting on well enough by you stating that our additional building is to be thirty feet wide and 500 feet long: that implies we are to increase our force.” Beyond this Manager Thornton was mum. ASSETS OF THE INDIANA BANKING CO. The Receiver Brings Suit to Foreclose a Mortgage on a Heavy Stockholder. Frederick Rand, receiver of the Indiana Banking Company, has filed suit against Marry Morrison and others, to foreclose a mortgage made by her in 1883, securing her personal indebtedness to the bank, and also her share, as a partner, of the bauk’s indebtedness to other persons. The mortgage was mado to John Landers, the first receiver of the bank. The complaint states that the individual indebtedness of Mary Morrison is paid; but her indebtedness as a stockholder in tho bank, to its creditors, is yet due. At the time of its failure the bank owed $900,000, and the assets, which did not exceed $500,000, were covered by mortgages. All the assets have been exhausted in paying debts, except SIOO,OOO, which now is being converted into money. The complaint says it will take $500,000 to pay the bank's debts in full, and after all the individual partners’ assets have been exhausted, there will slid be $300,000 indebtedness remaining. The receiver asks that the mortgage be foreclosed on all the real estate of tho defendant, except two pieces of property, to satisfy, so far as it will go, the indebtedness of the bank. Deserted Three Days After Marriage. Yesterday Mrs. Minnie J. Cain came to Capt. Colbert, of the police force, with a statement that two weeks ago she was married, in Terre Haute, aud two days after she and her husband, Charles, came to this city. lie is a druggist, and, being out of a situation, thought he could find one here. The day following their arrival in Indianapolis Charles told his wife that he would have to go to Anderson; there was a man up there, he said, who owed him money. The husband went, and the wifo heard no more from him. She had no means to pay fare to her people in Terre Haute, and called upon the police to aid her. A pass was procured by the Captain, and Mrs. Cain left for home with the belief that she was a wife deserted three days after marriage. Concert at the Orphans’ Home. To-morrow evening a concert will be given at the Orphans’ Home, on College weuue, The price of admission to the grounds is ten ceuts, carriages twenty-five cents, and the proceeds will go toward a bath room for the little ones which is badly needed. Tho When band will give the main concert, and Mrs. Hammond and Miss Adams have kindly volunteered to sing. Refreshments will be served. Tho grounds about tho home are admirably adapted to an outdoor concert. _ Enforcement of the Medical Law. Dr. C. N. Metcalf, tho executive officer of the State Board of Health, in a letter addressed to the officers of the local health boards, yesterday, says: “It is the opinion of this board that it is the duty of the county health officers, in accordance with Section *2 of the law establishing a State Board of Health, to see that the provisions of the medical law are strictly enforced. You will therefore examine the record of license#

This is not intended to include reputable physicians who, for sufficient reasons, have been unable to comply with tho law.” SCRAPING lIIS BROTHER’S SKELETON. Hong Dot’s Preparations for the Removal of His Brother’s Remains to China. Hong Dot, of E. Lung's laundry, No. 21 Massachusetts avenue, will begin his return trip to China in about four weeks. The purpose of his long journey is to take home the remains of his brother, Hong Shing, who died here six years ago. The two Hongs came to Indianapolis in 1874, hut Shing, the younger, who was twenty years of age, was sickly and always required a good deal of his brother’s attention. When he died he was buried in Crown Hill to wait Hong Dot's time for removing the remains to the family resting place in China. Day before yesterday Shing’s grave was reopened. The skeleton was taken to Kregelo & Whitsett’s, where Dot, with brotherly care, prepared it for transportation across the country to San Francisco, where it will he placed in the care of the Six Companies, who will see that it is sent to the Flowery Kingdom. Dot, in caring for his brother’s bones, would have no one to help him but a negro, who did not readily Lake to the work. The Chinaman's example of industry, however, soon beat down bis objections, and the African and Mongol washed, scoured, wiped dry and neatly packed every atom of the late Shing for the journey to tne last restingplace. When the coffin was opened all the bones had fallen apart and Dot was very solicitous lest a scrap would be overlooked. At the undertaking establishment an inventory was taken, when the devoted brother and his colored assistant went to work in scraping and washing. The latter process was done twice, and then came additional scouring and polishing, even of the finger and toe nails, which had been closely collected.. The thigh bones, when they came from the hands of Dot and the African, were ivory white. Shing’s skull, after being washed inside and out, was filled with costly muslin. The teeth wore carefully cleaned and poli*hed. Dot came across a false tooth, and threw it away. He wanted to take nothing of Shing which the art of man had supplied. After the cleansing process had been completed, every part of the remains, down to the finger and toe-nails, was wrapped with muslin and then with heavy manilla paper. A neat package of the bones was then made, with a collection of Confucian proverbs on narrow slips of pasteboard, highly pictured, in each end. Dot then opened a capacious valise, put tho package in it, locked it, paid the undertakers, and carried all that remains of Shing to the lauudry on Massachusetts avenue, there to await tho trip to China. After seeing the bones resting in the family burial place, Dot will return to this country, probably next year. AN IRATE ’SQUIRE. What He Thinks About the Exposnre of the Tricks Practiced in Dogberry Row. The disclosure in yesterday's Journal of eoido of the questionable practices in the justices’ courts seems to have disturbed the serenity of “Dogberry Row.” The justice has always been looked upon as an exceedingly fortunate and well-fed man—“ln fair round belly, with good capon lined. With eyes severe and beard of formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances.” But there are sonio of them who are like old Joey Bagstock in “Dombey & Son,” “sly, sir, and e evilish sly,” and their Midas-like touch has seemed to turn all things into gold. The reporter, whoso path of duty sometimes leads into the justices' courts, called as usual yesterday upon ’Squire Pease for his quota of news items. The ’Squire was hardly as calm and placid as it would seem proper that a man accustomed to judicial ways of life should ever be. “Very nice item you had in to-day’s paper,” was his greeting to the reporter. “Why don’t the reporters confine themselves to decent journalism, instead of running their fingers into other people's pie? Why didn’t you make your allegations personal, so that tho matter could be tested in the courts? You are afraid to try it; you are a set of cowards, by .” The reporter was about to say that he had lost all faith in the courts, when the ’Squire again screamed, “I wish you would accuse me of using questionable means of obtaining fees; it would tickle me to death. He! he! he! You interview lawyers upon the subject of justices, eh? I can tell you. sir, that they are the foulest men that live. I can place mj T hand upon several who will swear to any lie for five dollars. So far as this court is concerned, tho charges are a lie.” Raper Commandery’s Anniversary. On the loth of October will occur the thirtyninth anniversary of the issuance of the charter creating Raper Commandery, Knights Templars, of this city. Tho members of this famous commandery propose to celebrate the event in great style, and muke tho day a marked one in the calendar of Indiana Masonry. All tho commanderies of the State are to he invited to bo present. and all will, without doubt, attend. One of the features of the day will be a grand Templar parade and drills at the Exposition grounds, '•’hero will also be a battalion drill, in which the old competitors, De Molay, of Louisville, St. Bernard, of Chicago, Raper Commandery, this city, and some other commandery not yet designated, will engage. After this will come a dress parade, in which all the commanderies will take part. The entire entertainment will be at. the cost of Raper Commandery, and citizens, Knights Templars, and Masons generally will be invited to participate in the festivities free of charge. A committee of knights has been appointed to make arrangements. The Funeral of Mrs. Will E. English. The funeral of 3lrs. Will E. English was conducted by Monsignor Bessonies at St. John’s Church, yesterday morning, at 10 o’clock, in the presence of quite a largo number of friends. There were many floral offerings, among the number being a pillow of roses sent by the Elks. During the services at the church Miss Mamie Desmond, sister of the deceased, fainted from grief. The pall bearers were Joseph T. Fanning, John Ferriter, Pat Mullaney, R. S. Carr, Tunis Dean, David McKernan and James Daugherty. The remains were buried in tho family lot at Crown Hill. A Presbyterian College. Amended articles of incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State yesterday by the trustees of Coates College, at Terre Haute, in accordance with the wishes of the founder of the institution, Mrs. James P. Coates, providing that two-thirds of the members of the board shall bo Presbyterians, in order that the institution may be qualified to receive aid from tho Presbyterian denomination. ’ ■ -- A Case of Hydrophobia. A telegram was received by tho secretary of the State Board of Health yesterday from Dr. D. J. Swarts, of Auburn, stating that “a case with the symptoms and history of hydrophobia” had appeared there. He was directed to take all necessary precautions for the projier management of the case.

A CLEVER CRACKSMAN. The Safe of D. P. Erwin & Cos. Broken Open and Robbed in Daylight, About 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon a young man of dark complexion, five feet seven or eight inches high, of slender framo and dressed in navy blue, came hastily into D. P. Erwin & Co.’s wholesale dry goods store, Nos. 115 and 117 South Meridian street Walking down the room he approached one of the office clerks and asked if ho had time to go on top of the building to arrange a wire. He was answered in tho affirmative. When the store was closed no one thought of the wire fixer, it being supposed that he had done his work and gone. Two door3 from the Erwin establishment, corner of Georgia and Meridian streets, is the house of Byram, Cornelius & Cos., engaged in the samo line of trade. Mr. Cornelius, who is always the last to leave his place, did not get through until 0:15 o'clock with the work he had in hand. Three quarters of an hour later Merchant Policeman Reed came on duty and discovered the door leading from Georgia street to the elevator of Byram, Cornelius & Co.’s house opeu. He knew that no one could unfasten its bars from the outside, and, from this suspicious circumstance, concluded that some thief had been doing work there. An examination of the premises showed that the large safe in the counting-room had been forced. The combination lock had been cut off with a hatchet and mallet taken from the packing-room, and with a punch the bolts had been forced back. The cracksman got between S7O and SBO. The inner steel chest of the safe, containing a greater amount of money and valuables, was not disturbed, the cracksman doubtless letting it alone on account of the little time he had in which to do his work. From the roof of Erwin’s house he passed over to Stout’s, thence to the roof of Byram, Cornelius <fe Cos., where lie concealed himself on one of the floors, waiting the time to act. The trap doors on the roofs showed that they had been opened and left unfastened. Died of His Injuries. Michael Mortimer, the employe at Kingan’s pork house who was run over by the cars Tuesday while passing through tho Vaudalia yards on his way home, died yesterday of his injuries at his residence, No. 43 South West street.
