several members of the House, and a funeral committee. With the exception of Secretary Whitney, who took the congressional express for New York, the members of the Cabinet proceeded to their respective homes. The special train over tho Pennsylvania road, which carried to the funeral of Vice-president Hendricks Justices Blatehford and Matthews, of the Supreme Court, and the committees of tfte House and Senate, reached Washington on the return trip at 5:43 this evening. Senators Palmer and Harrison, and Representatives Bland, Mattson. Johnson, Hiseock, Townsend, Lowry and Geddes returned with the party. Mr. Edmunds and the Senate Preaitlency. Special to the Nefr York World. It is understood that Mr. Edmunds is to take an aggressive attitude in the coming debates of the Senate, and that this lie3 at the bottom of his wish not to be president of the Senate, that he may lead the Republican advance in denouncing objectionable appointments. Mr. Edmunds will not direct his energies against real civil-service reform, but against the humbug reform which he thinks has been conspicuous in a number of appointments. It is said the Senator has been storing up a good deal of information during the summer, and that he will pass in caustic review some of the personal appointments of the Administration. Ho is delighted with the appointment of DarkLantern Dick Lancaster, of St. Louis, to one of the most important federal offices in that city. The Senator will ask: "What is the reform which dictates such an appointment as this,” and as Lancaster is backed and indorsed by the eloquent and virulent Senator Vest, a lively passage-at-arms may be expected, between these two gifted senators. Senator Edmunds used to enjoy to the greatest degree his ability to stir up the Southern senators. It is hardly probable that the few years which have elapsed since ho has been retired from the debates have changed his character in this respect. Yesterday’s Appointments. Washington, Dec. 2. —The President made the following appointments to day: Frank L. Phillips, of New York, to be survevor of customs for the port of Greenport, N.

The Hendricks Washington Residence. Washington Special. Tho apartments at Willard’s Hotel, prepared for the reception of Mr. ana Mrs- Hendricks, wore the same suite they occupied last winter. Thpv,'V'-osist-of —rovuut', iJtnirably arranged for domestic comfort and privacy as well as for public recerition purposes. They have been reserved by the proprietor, Mr. O. G. Staples, for the vice preeidential winter residence, and were lately newly frescoed and furnished in accordance with Mrs. Hendricks’s taste. The social world mingle with sincere grief for Mr. Hendricks’s sudden death and sympathy for his widow. and a keen sense of disappointment at the loss of Mrs. Hendricks as a social leader. The apartments she presided over so charmingly as a Hostess last winter are now heavily draped with emblems of mourning. National Guard W ashington, r>ec. 2.—The fifth annual convention of the National Guard Association of tho United States will be held in this city on the 15th inst. The object of the association is to secure legislation from Congress for a more generous support of the militia of the several States. Each State is entitled to send five delegates from the officers, or ex-officers, of its National Guard to the convention. The following subjects aro announced for discussion: The progress that has been made in each State during the last year in advancing the efficiency of its National Guard, the relative merits of regimental or hrigade camps, and whether it is best to hold them near largo cities; suggestions in regard to General Slocum's bill for the improvement of the militia.

Condition of the Public Debt. Washington, Dec. 2.—The following is a recapitulation of the debt statement issued to-day from the Treasury Department: Interest-bearing debt $1,2(50,778,012 00 Debt bearing no interest 500,510,114.92 Debt on which imeresthas ceased 3,786.141.02 Interest 11,853,088.51 Total debt and interest $1,845,927,956.45 Debt., less available cash in the Treasury, Nov. 1 1,514,475,3G1.00 increase of debt during the month 4,887.198.47 (‘ash in Treasury available for reduction of debt 231,452,594.55 Total cash in Treasury 488,657,102.67 The Hard-Worfcing President. • New York, Dee. 2.—The Herald’s Washington special says: “It is a rare occurrence for the sign ‘closed’ to bo seen on the door of the White House. Only two callers had interviews with the President yesterday—Secretaries Manning and Endicott. The President remained indoors all day. The President devotes more time to public business than do any two of the members of his Cabinet. He has been forced to decline social visits of all kinds, though he has been constantly in receipt of invitations of this character. The indications are that the President will not indulge in social matters to any extent during the winter.” Capital Notes. Washington, Dec. 2. —The annual session of the federation of organized trades aud labor unions of the United States aud Canada will be held liere this year, beginning on Tuesday next.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS The Daily Chronicle of Happenings of all* Kinds in the Two States. Warned by a Vigilance Committee to Leave the County—Driven Insane by a Husband’s Failure—State Gleanings. INDIANA. Acquitted In Court, but Warned to Eeave the County l>y a Vigilance Committee. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Loganppokt, Dec. 2.—Last week Eckert Burkit, a young man of Washington township, was acquitted of the charge of criminally assaulting his eleven-year old cousin, although he was undoubtedly guilty. Since the acquittal, feeling has run high in the neighborhood. On Friday night the barn belonging to the girl’s father was burned to the ground, and the deed was placed at the door of young Burkit and his friends. This morning the farmers from the surrounding country assembled, organized a vigilance committee of fifty and sent a communication to tho young man and his father, stating that if the son did not get out of the county inside of twenty four hours they would hang him. They gave twenty-four hours for a reply. It is thought there will certainly be trouble. An Indiana Bigamist in Pennsylvania. Special to tlie Indianapolis Journal. Rochester, Dec. 2. —Word has been received here that John Murphy, formerly a citizen of this place, was recently married to a wealthy and respectable young lady at Milroy, Pa. Murphy has a wife living here, and the unlooked-for news has prostrated her. For the past three years Murphy has been traveling through Pennsylvania in the interests a publishing company, and as nothing had been heard of him for several weeks, his friends began to suspect that he had either met with foul play or that he had suddenly become ill at some point where he was a stranger. Recent inquiries from Milroy leave little doubt but that Murphy was married there, and used forged letters of recommendation, purporting to be written by citizens of this place in accomplishing his purpose. Footpads at Wabash. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Wabash, Dec. 2.—For the past two or three , nights a gang of footpads have infested the city, and two prominent residents have, within the past twenty-four hours, been stopped in tlie public streets and requested to stand and deliver. Late last night as ex-Postmaster Sayer was on his way home, two vicious fellows, secreted at the intersection of Huntington and Main streets, sprang forth and dragged him down a steep declivity and robbed him of several dollars. Tonight at 6 o’clock, within half a block of his residence, James McCrea, president of the Citizens’ Bank, was accosted by two villians, who fled when the plucky gentleman drew his revolver. The authorities are making every effort to capture these criminals. The Belligerent Duckworth Club. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

The Failure of Simpson Cox Causes His Wife to Become Insane. Special to the Indianapolis JcuruaL Vincennes, Ind., Dec. 2.— Simpson Cox, a wealthy farmer and stock dealer, of Hutsonvilie, 111., a river town, thirty miles north of this city, has failed, and it seems his troubles have fallen on him thick and fast. He has transferred all his property to his priuci pal creditors. This property consists principally of real estate. His liabilities will amount to about $30,000, and the assets embrace 500 acres of land, together with some real estate in Ilutsonville, which will not amount to enough to pay 50 cents on the dollar. The failure is ascribed to doing business on borrowed capital, short crops and heavy interest The failure had such an ill effect on Mrs. Cox that she became deranged. A jury rendered a verdict that she was insane, and she was sent to the asylum at Anna. It i3 feared that Mrs. Cox is beyond recovery. Most of Mr. Cox’s creditors reside in Robinson and Hutsonville.

A Number of Murders in Arizona and New Mexico—Sheriff Crawford Among the Slain. Tucson, A. TANARUS., Dec. 2. —lt is reported that fifty Indians are off the reservation, ar.d are heading for Santa Ritas. The settlers in the valley and soldiers camped in the Harshawa mountains have been notified. A Doming, N. M., dispatch says: “Renegades visited the reservation and attempted to induce tho remainder of the Indians to join them, but the interview resulted in a fight, in which twen-ty-ono reservation Indians and only one hostile were killed. Lieutenant-general Sheridan and staff left for the East yesterday.” Official news from Fort Bowie says a party of Indians under the leadership of Josuani, brother of Chihuahua, were seen in the vicinity of Fort Apache on the 23d ult The next day one of their number was killed in an attack upon a camp of White mountain Indians, about eight miles southwest of Apache. The following day they attacked another camp of White mountain Indians, about twenty miles south of Apache. In these two attacks they killed eleven women, four children and five men and boys. Two men were killed by Indians last night, near Solomonville, A. T. Their bodies having been found by a stage driver on his way to Fort Thomas, this morning. Ben Crawford, sheriff of Graham county, A. TANARUS., and two others, are also reported killed, but this is not confirmed. To-day the hostilities were in the neighborhood of Duncan.

The Indians are divided into bands of fifteen to twenty. The killing of Sheriff Crawford has created tho wildest excitement Men, women and children are fleeing in all directions, and couriers are being sent out to warn the settlers. The bodies of the two Wright brothers were horribly mangled. THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION. The Situation Practically Unchanged—The Real Object of the Rebellious Movement. Villa Garcia, Mexico, Dec. 2. —There is little chance in the situation here to-day. The revolutionary party, under Rodeguez, pulled up stakes here at noon to-day, and marched toward Monterey, not being able to catch up with Governor Sepulveda. Tho rumor that General Miers would relievo General Reyes as dwsmamler of the federal troops at Monterey is without confirmation. General Reyes will be sustained by the President, and the federal government will appoint a military governor over the State of Nuevo Leon, without doubt. This seems to have been the object in view from the first. The present administraion are doing their utmost to establish government, and it is thought this will be accomplished when the last one of the Gonzalez regime has been put out. Tho people are almost unanimous in support of this measure, and a more intelligent executive will henceforth take the reins of power. Several of the small towns among the Northern States are organizing men to come to the Governor’s rescue. The interests of the Mexican national railway, which traverses the State, have not suffered in the slightest degree, and both freight and passenger business goes on as usual. Later —Acting Governor Sepulveda was heard from this evening. lie is at Ytamalea, a walled ranch near the border line of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon. It is reported that President Diaz has requested Sepulveda to re-establish himself at Monterey, the capital of the State, and advised him to call on the commanding federal officer for an escort, if needed. Matters are decidedly complicated at this time.

COLLISION IN A CUT Freight Trains Collide at High Speed—Every Man on the Train More or Le6B Injured. Washington, Pa., Dec. 2. —One of the most horrible railroad casualities ever witnessed in this vicinity happened shortly before 3 o’clock this afternoon, in Workman's cut, half a mile east of Washington, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The first, “86,” local freight, east bound, had started from the Washington yards with orders to run to Finleyville. When in the cut mentioned, it collided with the west-bound first, “83,” through freight, with terrific force, as both trains were running at a high rate of speed. The track in the cut lies on a curve. The two engines rushed together in an iron embrace, box-cars were piled up, and the track was covered with the debris of the wreck. In the collision, the following persons were injured: John Rider, of Washington,, conductor of the first “86,” instantly killed, the remains are horribly mangled and scalded; Frank Snyder, of Piedmont, W. Va., brakeman, who was on one of the engines, was scalded to death; James Morris, of Washington, seriously wounded; he was brought to his home in the First ward, where he now lies; J. O. Reynolds, of Jamestown, fireman, legs mangled and feet badly mashed; Engineer Frank Dean received some ugly bruises, but it is thought he is not seriously injured. In addition to these, every hand on the two trains is more or less injured. A force of men are on the spot clearing up the wreck. Travel will not be delayed long, as there is a siding through the cut, which is being opened. During the afternoon hundreds of Washingtonians poured out to the scene to view the ghastly sight. The death of conductor Rider is peculiarly sad. His family consists of a wife .and three small children. To-night the grief-stricken wife is literally crazed with the shock. At this hour it is impossible to locate where the fatal mistake in the train order was made. An inquest will be held to-morrow. Wrecked by a Misplaced Switch. Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. 3, 2:45 a. m. —It was announced here at an early hour this morning that the St Louis express train on the Erie railway, which was bound for New York, last evening, was wrecked near Scio. So far it has been impossible to obtain any but the most meager details. The train was reported on fire, but it is said the fire is under control. The engineer is also reported missing, and it is supposed he is under the wreck. A telegram from Elmira says: “The Atlantic express, train No. 4, limited, from the west, running forty to fifty miles an hour, ran off the track at Scio station. Engineer Allen is missing. The baggage-cars and three or four sleepers were burned, and the locomotive wrecked. All the passengers are reported safe.

The Critic contains the following interesting information: '•The 5:40 train from the East yesterday morning brought to this city the notorious pugilist John Lawrence Sullivan, but his errand this time was for the purpose of concluding terms of a ring match. The other contracting party was Miss Annie Livingston, of the Davene combination, which was at the Theater Comique during the past week. She is a handsome young seriocomic singer, and a great favorite with the patrons of variety entertainments in this city. Mr. Sullivan was accompanied by Senator Tom Grady and Harry Miner, ot New York, and the trio were met by several people in the secret, for the intention was to keep the matter private. An event of such interest, however, is bound to become known. It is learned that after a day of pleasure the parties were united in holy wedlock late in the afternoon. Miss Ella Martyne, of the Davene company, acting as the bridesmaid, Mr. James McKeon, of the same company, as best man, and Senator Grady and Harry Miner spectators. The bride was even more than usually attractive in a robe of white satin, and wore the conventional orange blossoms. The bridesmaid wore a similar toilet. Mr. Sullivan, with his usual open heart, presented the bridesmaid with a diamond ring, and the best man with a scarf pin in the form of boxing gloves, set in diamonds. It is said, too, that in the envelope which the happy groom pressed upon the reverend gentleman who officiated was a SIOO bill. After partaking of a supper, Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan left on the evening train.” There are some trifling inaccuracies in thig story. Sullivan did come here on a matrimonial errand, but could not get a license on Sunday, and had to return to New York last night, Miss Livingston and Mr. Miner accompanying him. It was understood that the marriage would take place in New York to-day. Mr. Grady did no# come as best man to the groom, but merely in a legal capacity, it is said, to attach somebody’s salary. “Married?” said Mr. Miner last night, “Sallivan, John L. Sullivan, married? No, I think not, I think not I don’t think it can be. Why, let me see, Sullivan is married now. He has got a wife. I understand he couldn’t get a divorce, and is paying her alimony. How could he get married under such circumstances? “I don’t think John would do it I met him yesterday iu Washington. Wo came back on the cars together as far as Baltimore. John got off there, and played there to-night J came on to New York, and so did the Davene company. Miss Livingston was on the same train. She came on to New York also, I feel quite sure, and is playing with the company at the Loudon Theater. So you see, unless I am much mistaken, they could only have been married by wire. No, I don’t think John did it. I did not seo the marriage—no. I didn’t see it If the rumor says I saw the marriage and wentto it, then the rumor is false. I didn’t I thiuk John didn’t” The “Old Roman” Period. Brooklyn Union. It is hard to conceive of any event that would more forcibly remind the Democratic party than its mourning for Mr. Hendricks, that it has entered, or must perish if it do not enter, on a distinctly now era in its history. All the men who, in the Democratic vacabulary, were called “noble old Romans’’ are now dead or dying. General McClellan has just been buried. Mr. Seymour is too old ever again to do more than to give advice on subjects which the party was accustomed to consider fundamental principles half a generation ago. Mr. Tildeu’s retirement, whether voluntary or not, is final. Mr. Thurman, if not decrepit, is too old to be likely to make a reappearance in politics. Mr. English, Mr. McDonald and General Hancock are hardly considered leaders, and now that Mr. Hendricks is dead, the curtain has fallen on the “old Roman” period of the party.

General Logan’s Alleged Ineligibility. Special to Cincinnati Sun. Regarding the alleged ineligibility of Senator Logan, Senator Cockrell expresses the opinion that Senator Logan might be elected President pro tem. of the Senate and sworn in as senator afterwards. There is nothing in the statutes, he says, to prohibit the Senate from choosing whomsoever they want for President pro tem., whether he is or is not a Senator. It is generally supposed that tho Democratic senators will hold a caucus on Friday or Saturday morning and nominate Senator Harris, of Tennessee, for President pro tempore. The Republicans will also hold a caucus on Friday evening, but the choice to bo made is as much in doubt as ever. The Senators in Washington since Vice-presi-dent Hendricks's death have discussed the subject a great deal, but there has been nothing like formal consideration of the subject, aud no agreement has been approached. An Inquiry of the Suu. New York Evenimr Post. Why did not Mr. Henkricks’s intensity give him an interest in politics apart from offices? Is it not the truth of the matter that the lifelong Democrats and old fashioned Democrats are not intense enough, and do not wish to stir in politics unless they are paid for it in cash or tho prospect of cash? Were you not short of intensity yourself wheu you refused last year to support your party candidate, and went off after an old bummer from Massachusetts for whom you could only get 3,499 persons to vote in this great Democratic city. One Charming Thought. Chicago Ncwg. Senator Yoorhees declares that he will never take a back seat in Indiana. No, the country long ago gave up the fond hope that he would ever sit down, but there is some charm in the thought that he will have to stand against the back wall while Uncle Joe McDonald leads the procession to the front seats. Didn’t Mean It that Way. Chicago Rambler. “I have such an indulgent husband,” said little Mrs. Doll. “Yes, so George says,” responded Mrs. Spiteful quietly. “Sometimes he indulges too much, doesn’t he?” They no longer speak to each other.
