to agitate the question have been of very little avail. It seems that Mr. Hendricks did not form that intimate association with prominent men at the national capital which would guarantee the success of anything looking toward the perpetuation of his memory. People who seek office, and who find nothing in politics or circumstances excepting office, are, as a general rule, ungrateful, and soon forget their benefactors. A meeting Is to be held by the Indianians, and it will jsoon be known whether Washington will do herself credit in this laudable cause, and the fund will be sent to Indiana. TROOPS FOR ARIZONA. They Are Wanted for Protection of Settlers Against Raiding Apaches. Washington, Dec. 31.—Govornor Zulick, of Arizona, has telegraphed to the Secretary of the Interior, calling attention to an erroneous impression that the purpose for which the troops have been recently ordered from San Francisco i3 merely to protect the Indians from threatened attacks by the lawless white element. Governor Z chick says that his appeal to the government for troops was for the protection of the lives and property of Arizonians from the attacks of marauders and thieving renegade Apaches. ; ‘No people on earth,” ho adds, “have exhibited a higher sense of iaw-abidine qualities than Arizouian3 have shown under their terrible affliction of the past eight months.” He remarks that his proclamation, last week, warning all evil-disposed persons that the powers of the federal and Territorial governments would be evoked to preserve the rights of all persons within the borders of Arizona, was directed against inflammatory publications in the Territorial newspapers, and says: “It has had its effect, for the entire press in the Territory is uow arrayed upon the side of law and order.” He assures the Secretary that he will see that the San Carlos reservation and the rights of peaceful Indians are protected, and, in conclusion, he asks the Secretary for an authoritative statement to dispel the erroneous impression as to the purpose of his appeal for troops. In reply, acting Secretary Muldrow today telegraphed to the Governor that the Interior Department has received no dispatch from him suggesting a need for troops to protect the Indians on the San Carlos reservation, and that no action has been taken by the government t.o concentrate troops in that vicinity for the purpose indicated. Mr. Muldrow adds: “The purpose of the government has been and is to protect all persons in Arizona in the peaceful enjoyment of their rights and property, punish law-breakers, suppress outlaws, and maintain peace within that Territory.”

AIIIS OR MATTERS. The Number of Dismissed Employes Much Larger than Reported iu the Papers. Bpecidl to the Indianapolis Journal: Washington, Dec. 31. —“Not more than onethird of the discharges of employes made in the departments have been made public,” said an old man who has long worked in the basement of one of the departments. “If I were permitted,” continued he, “I could tell you a great deal about this. The people have no idea how many old and faithful employes have been dismissed to give places to Democrats; but I would be afraid to say anything further about it. A large number of clerks of the lower class who come uuder civil-service reform rules have gone out for one reason or another, and nearly every watchman and laborer in the departments has beon removed. It would be worth a man’s head if he were to give the names. The only way dismissals get into print is by the person dismissed making a fuss about it, unless they are occupants of the higher positions, when, of course, their displacement is obvious, and is then given out by superior officers. There are hundreds of very aggravated cases, I tell you, where poor and dependent men and women have been dismissed without any real cause at all.” Ex-Senator Sharon’s Washington Property. Washington, Dec. 31.—The agents of the estate, in this city, of the late ex-Senator Sharon, of Nevada, to-day placed on record the deed which was made by Mr. Sharon, Nov. 4, 1885, a short time before his death, by which ho transfers all his property in this city and elsewhere to Jtiis son, Fred G. Sharon, and his son-in-law, Francis G. Newland, in trust for the hoirs, who are mentioned in the deed by name, and the division of the estate described. This deed has been published in full, and contains the clause in reference to Sarah Althea Hill, whose claim to be Mr. Sharon’s wife was recently decided by the United States Circuit Court at San Francisco adversely to Miss Hill. On account of the dower right, which a favorable verdict for Miss Hill would have entitled her to in all the property of Mr. Sharon, all his property in this city had been withdrawn from the market. As soon as the trustees notify the agents here, the property belonging to this estate, which consists of unimproved property lying entirely in the heart of the most fashionable part of the city, and valued at $250,000, will be placed again on the market. Most of this property was acquired by Mr. Sharon in satisfaction of a trust which he had given to ex-Senator Stuart and Judge Sunderland, members of the famous California syndicate which, in 1871, bought large blocks of land in tlie northwestern section of the city. Mr. Blaine’s Intentions. Special to the Icdlanapoliu Journal. Washington, Dec. 31. —A great many inquiries are made by visitors to this city about Mr. Blaine. They wonder whether, upon being informed that he is not hero, he is to spend any time at the capital during the present session of Congress. A gentleman who saw Mr. Blaino recently was informed by him that it was not his intention to be in Washington very much during the next fifteen months. The time that he would spend here, Mr. Blaine said, would probably be during the next session of Congress. He said that he was busy at his home in. Maine, * and that he did not think it would be a matter of either pleasure or profit to him to leave his work to kill time here. Mr. Blaine enjoys himself more in the society of politicians and public men generally in Washington than elsewhere, but he has had such a surfeit of all this during the past two years that it is stated he wants a change. Dissatisfaction with the House Rules. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 31.—Since the adoption of the new code of rules in the House a great deal of dissatisfaction has been expressed about it by those who voted for it. They fear that the thing of opening a way to more general legislation has not gone far enough, and that yet too much|power is in the hands of the committee on appropriations. Members have grown tired of presenting, every two years, from twenty-five to one hundred bills each, conducting a great volume of correspondence with their constituents about them, spending months of hard work in committees and getting favorable reports upon them, and then having them die on the calendar at the end of Congress. Undoubtedly the rules in time will be further amended so as to furnish further reiief. or steps will be taken towards amending the Constitution so as to givo Congress more time in its sittings, making the sessions continuous. Senator Sherman’s Re-Electiou Assured. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Doc. 31.—Gen. Jamos S. Hobinson, Secretary of State of Ohio, loft hero for Columbus to-night. He has talked with Senator Sherman and other prominent Ohioans, and says there is not the least doubt of the re-elec-tion of Mr. Sherman; that the Democrats have been trying to buy enough Republican members of the Legislature to secure the election of John R, McLean or some other Democrat, but that they have failed completely. An Indianapolis Firm Secures a Contract. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Dec. 31.—Bids were opened today by the supervising architect of the Treasury for work on the postoffice building at Fort Wayne.

J., $6,125; Shipple Bridge Works, Pittsburg, $5,775. Haugh, Keteham & Cos. were the lowest bidders, and will be awarded the contract. New Year Calls at the Capital.

Voorhees. at the Portland, assisted by her daughter. Miss Hattie Voorhees, Mrs. James P. Voorhees, and others; the Misses Cowing, at their home, 1232 Thirteenth street; Mrs. John E.

Geneval and Personal. Special to the Indianapolis JoumalWashington, Dec. 31.—Harry Fry, of Union, who was here several months prior to September, seeking an appointment, and who was given a position by W. R. Brownlee, of Anderson, appointed United States Land Register at Larned, Kan., has returned here to renew his claims for an appointment. He says the place given him by Brownlee was not good enough, and ho demands something better. Commissions have been issued for the following Indiana postmasters: William H. Thomas, at Clunette: Henry Secrist, at English Lake; James Wilson, at Fulton; James A. Sappenfield, at Greenville; Peter H. Ring, at Holman Station; George 11. Sitterding, at Shields.

M.; arrive at Patricksburg by 12 ?.t.; leave Patricksburg on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 7a. M.; arrive at Bowling Green by 9 a. m. There was recently presented to the Attorneygeneral, on behalf of William S. Warner and his brother-in-law, J. Henry Work, a proposition to refund to the creditors of the Marine Bank the full amount of the checks upon which their present indictment was found, namely, $152,800. The government has declined the proposition, and both accused will have to stand their trials. Secretary Manning holds that the sinking fund for the current fiscal year requires $48,000,000. He said that it would not do to call that amount at once, and hence he had to begin with a call of $10,000,000 only. This would indicate that between*Feb. 1 and June 30 there will be four bond calls of $10,000,000 each. The United States Treasurer to-day mailed 42,745 checks, amounting to $0,054,385, in payment of the interest on registered United States four-per-cent, consols of 1907, and 1,387 cheeks, amounting to $1,938,705, in payment of interest of bonds issued to tho Pacific railway companies.

INDIANA. The Location of the Howard County Soldiers’ Monument Finally Settled. Bpecial to the Indian oolis Journal. Kokomo, Dec. 31.—The Board of County Commissioners this afternoon decided the muchvexed question of the location of the soldiers’ monument. The old board had decided to locate the memorial in the court-house yard, much against the will of a great majority of the people, and an injunction was got out restraining the contractors from work. The new board, guided by the desires of the great mass of the people, and especially of the old soldiers, located tho monument in Crown Point Cemetery, just east of the city, in a lot *hat had for years been reserved with this special object in view. The contractors, Messrs. Whitehead & Wright, of Indianapolis, are ready, and will begin work at once. It is a matter of much congratulation among the citizens that this important and most annoying question has been settled so satisfactorily.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal, Washington, Dec. 31.—1n Reeve township, sixteen miles southeast of this city, ou Tuesday night, a serious cutting affray occurred between Martin Charnes and Harvey Buzriss, in which the latter received four ugly and perhaps fatal wounds from a kuife in Charnes’s hands.

Minor Notes. James Morris threw a stone at Dan Worrell, at Utica, striking him in tho eyo and destroying his vision. They are both small boys. William Froelich, brakeman on the O. & M. road, was struck by a bridge near Aurora, and killed, lie was brought to Seymour for burial. At New Albany, when tramps refuse to work an the street to pay off their fines, their rations ore stopped until they are willing to go on again.

He was rescued from drowning by Mr. Ochiltree. At Evansville, yesterday, tho grand jury ignored the hill against John Bush, for killing Wm. Wiesling, on Tuesday night, deciding that, under the law and the facts, the killing was justifiable homicide, Wiesling having attacked a younger brother of Busch. At New Albany, Rev. J. W. Cloakev, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, and Miss Florence Cornelia Day were married on Wednesday, Rev. Cloakey, of Springfield, 0., brother of the groom, assisted by Revs. Austin and Hutchinson, officiating. The bride and groom received many presents. Salem Democrat: William 'Todgin, residing three miles north of town, awoke last Sunday morning about 5 o’clock and discovered his barn on fire.

A beautiful girl baby was left on the doorstep of Mr. Alonzo Bramel, near Cementvillo, on Tuesday evening. The infant was dressed in clothing of the finest texture. A note was also in the basket, which said: “Keep my baby and rear it as your own child.” Mr. Bramel and wife have decided to adopt the little waif. An unknown man was run over bv the cars at Terre Haute on Wednesday night and killed. Upon the dead man's person were found an open pocket-knife, a husking peg, a broken whisky bottle and two letters. One was addressed to McDennett, Brazil, Ind., from McAllister & Short, Neoga, 111., and referred to unpaid wages The other to A. G. Spencor, from the Toledo. Cincinnati & St. Louis railroad offices, and referred to a check for wages. Brazil was very much hurt over the characterization of society hero as pictured by Mrs. J. R. Nichols, president of the State W. C.T. U. The vindication by Mrs. Mary Bassett Hussey, in Wednesday’s Journal, is regarded as complete and satisfactory. Mrs. Hussey is president of the W. C. T. U. of Brazil, and is a lady of rare culture and wide observation. Brazil is among the foremost cities in the State for temperance sentiment, and, through much effort, has maintained a city license for liquor equal to that of Indianapolis—sloo. Hon. Edwin Bean, a Chicago lawyer, visiting his uncle, Solon Young, at Charlestown, has

been indicted for malicious trespass on complaint of a a farmer named Cole, for crossing a field with a young lady. Cole is not on good terms with Mr. Young, aud took revenge by prosecuting his guest. Mr. Bean, who is auite wealthy, propose! to fight the matter to the bitter end. He claims that he had the right of easement, which twenty years of public usage accords in such cases. He also proposes to bring charges against Cole in the United States Court for causing his arrest. Brazil is attracting the attenton of capitalists in various parts of this and adjoining States, especially since the opening up of communication with the Northwest and South, through the Evansville & .Indianapolis and the Chicago & Indiana coal roads, because, first, of its superior and cheap fjiel, and second, its first-class shipping facilities. The Youngstown Land and Mining Company, of Youngstown, 0., which has recently incorporated with a stock capital of $48,000, has invested in coal lands there. The directors are Douglas Perkins, Joseph Perkins, jr., Paul Mick, Thos. H. Wells, John Mick.

ILLINOIS. Flight of Judge Yates—His Defalcations Will Approximate 8250,000. Peoria, Dec. 31.—There is a well-authenti-cated rumor afloat in this city to-day that Judge Yates, who is under indictment for embezzlement, fled to Canada, and the report is confirmed by the sheriffs force. The Judge came down town two days ago, and evidently found things too warm for him. Further criminal proceedings against him will doubtless soon be instituted. Various charges have been pending against him, many of which have been mentioned heretofore, of having misappropriate and money belonging to various estates of which he was guardian, trustee or executor. He was held in high repute in this community, and the charges were not at first believed. Soon after the first publications began to be made against him it was stated that he was very ill at home. It is declared that his alleged defalcations are very large, and may approximate $250,000.

Richmond, Ind., Dec. 31.—James Elder, postmaster of this city, dropped dead at 12 o’clock to-day, while he was at his post in the office, which he had held just an even month, resigning the position of sheriff of the Supreme Court to accept.

Elisha Hyatt. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Ind., Dec. 31.—Elisha Hyatt, one of the pioneers of this part of the State, died at his home in this city, this morning, at the advanced age of eighty years. Mr. Hyatt was one of tho most extensive business men during his lifetime in southern Indiana, and probably the largest land-owner in the Hoosier State. Last year ho possessed over eight thousand acreß of valuable farming land in Daviess, Knox and Pike counties, but on account of the failure of the banking house of Hyatt, Levines & Co.—of which institution he was the financial backer and president—he was compelled to make an assignment. He was iu a fair way to compromise with the creditors of the bank, when he was taken ill with some trouble of his kidneys, and died as above stated. It is thought, however, that the death of Mr. Hyatt will not affect the proposed compromise, as his property is in the hands of a trustee. It is not Known whether or not he left a will. Otho Allen. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 31.—Otho Allen, storekeeper at the distillery, was stricken with apoplexy this afternoon, and died to-night at 11 o’clock.

FORGERIES FOR LARGE SUMS. Efforts to Negotiate Forged Drafts in the South—Six Thousand Dollars Secured. Cheyknkk, Wy. TANARUS., Dec. 31.—The Stockgrowers’ National Bank, of this city, received a telegram from the First National Bank of Houston, Tex., asking for a confirmation of their letter dated Deo. 18, and requesting the number and amount of the draft covered by said letter. No sueh letter having been written, the Stock-growers’ Bank at once replied to that effect. On Dec. 30 a similar telegram was received from the National Bank of Texas, at Galveston, asking if a draft drawn on the Fourth National Bank of New York, for $5,000, in favor of George S. Landers, was good. No such draft having been drawn, telegrams were sent to that effect The mail that evening brought a letter to the Stock-growers’ National Bank from a bank in Montgomery, Ala., acknowledging the receipt of a letter of the Stock-growers’ National Bank, dated Dec. 18, identifying George L.

To-day a telegram was received from the Fourth National Bank of New York, saying that a forged draft, purporting to have been drawn by the Stock-growers’ National Bank had been presented and payment refused. From the length of time elapsing between the date of the letter from Montgomery and the telegram from New York pronouncing the draft a forgery, it is supposed the Montgomery Bank paid the forged drafts.
