Frank Gaughan, the girl’s brother, aged eleven years, testified that she was sent long distances in her bare feet in frosty weather, was made to sleep on the floor on a bed made of meal bags, with no covering, and subsisted entirely on mush. At no time since last fall was she permitted to wear shoes or stockings. On the Saturday evening before she died, McAndrews heated a poker until it was red, and rubbed it upon her teeth, saying that if her ghost returned to this world, he would be able to identify her. Frank last saw his sister on the morning of her death. She was lying oo the floor, and bad no clothing over her. She asked him to lift her head unon a pillow and to place the family dog upon her feet to keep them warm. The children of the house maltreated her, and one day put a hit in her mouth and chased her around the house. McAndrews said they might kill her, for all he cared. The Sunday before she died, MrsAndrews removed Mary's clothing, put her in a tub of water, and then beat* her with a horsewhip. This terrible story was corroborated by tbe neighbors, and Coroner Dean, who examined the body of the child immediately after her death, testified that she died of starvation and neglect Tho Losses at East Lee, Mass.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 1886.

THE FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. The House Discueses Rivers and Harbors, and the Senate Passes Unimportant Bills. Washington, April 21.—Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, from the committee on agriculture, reported a resolution calling on the Commissioner of Agriculture for information astotheamount of wheat and corn on hand in this country, where it is located, the number of acres of winter and spring wheat now in the ground, the amount likely to be required for exportation, and other information on the subject. Adopted. Mr. Townshend, of Illinois,. from the committee on patents, reported a bill to.limit the jurisdiction of United States Courts iu patent cases, and to protect persons who, without notice, are bona fide manufacturers, purchasers, venders or users of articles for the exclusive use or sale of which a patent has been granted. Placed on the calendar. Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, from the committee on invalid pensions, reported a bill to pension soldiers who were prisoners of war during the late war. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Singleton, of Mississippi, from the committee on the library, reported a bill for the erection of a monument over the grave of General Daniel Morgan. Referred to the committee of the whole. Mr. Worthington, of Illinois, from tho committee on foreign affairs, reported a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for copies of correspondence between the State Department and representatives of the French and Chinese governments relative to the good offices exerted by the United States to bring about an amicable arrangement of the questions lately in dispute between these countries. In the morning hour the House resumed consideration of the bill for the relief of the Alabama flood sufferers, aud it was supported by Mr. Cannon, of Illinois. The morning hour expired without action being taken on the bill, which resumes its place on the calendar. The House then went into committee of the whole, Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, in the chair, on the river and harbor appropriation bill Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, moved to strike out the paragraph appropriating $400,000 for improvement of Galveston harbor. He could see do material difference between the proposed plan of improvement and that which had been denounced by the Galveston Representative [Mr. Ochiltree] during last Congress. The points of difference between the two plans were detailed by Messrs. Stewart, Reagan and Cain, of Texas, who nlso pointed out the great importance of Galveston harbor to tho commerce of the country. Mr. Cain inquired whether there was any appropriation in the bill for the district represented by the gentleman from lowa, and Mr. Hepburn replied in the negative, stating that there were no navigable rivers in lowa. Mr. Cain regarded that fact as the “milk in the cocoanut/’ If the gentleman had a share of pork he would not have made any complaint. Mr. Hepburn suggested that the gentleman’s remark seemed to imply that no one had a right to talk about the bill except those who had some pork in the barrel. The motion to strike out was lost—33 to 82 — but it was agreed that a vote should be taken upon it in the House. On motion of Mr. Markham, of California, the appropriation for the survey of San Francisco harbor, San Pabio bay, Suisun bay, and the mouths of the San Joaquin and Sacramento rivers, was reduced from $30,000 to SII,OOO. This was done in accordance with the recommendation of a supplementary report of tho chief of engineers. Mr. Negley, of Pennsylvania, raised a point of order against the clause of the bill which directs the Secretary of War to negotiate for the purchase of the works of the Monongahela Navigation Company; the value of the works to be ascertained by a commission of three engineers of the engineer corps. If the company refuses to sell its works, or demands a price deemed by the Secretary to be an excessive one, the Secretary is directed to acquire the works by condemnation, or, in the exercise of his discretion, to take possession of the works. Mr. Negley regarded the clause as extraordinary, unconstitutional and without precedent. It proposed to confer on an executive officer of the government the power to seize private franchises and private rights without due process of law. The Chair —Mr. Wellborn, of Texas—ruled that the point was not well taken, as the reasons given in support went entirely to the question of the expediency of the legislation. Mr. Reagan, of Texas, then moved to strike out the clause, declaring that it was a plain proposition to confiscate the property of the company, and to ignore its charter rights. Mr. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, said that the Monongahela river was a national highway, and, in support of that proposition, declared that the tonnage of that river was greater than that of any otner river in the country, or of the harbor of New York. All this tonnage would have to pay tribute to a corporation, if the clause were stricken from the bill. The coal land lying adjacent to the river was worth not less than six thousand million dollars, and the tax paid by every acre of that land to a privet© corporation amounted to an average of $250. Here was a nuisance that ought to be and could be abated. The company claimed that, it had made the Monongahela river a navigable stream. It had been a navigable river before the company located there, because the tonnage of the river has gone out on the high freshets at the very time that the tonnage of the Ohio river went out; and that commerce would have gone out if the navigation company had never placed a lock or dam on the river. Mr. Blanchard, of Louisiana, defended the clause. Mr. Keller, of Pennsylvania, thought the proposition embodied in the bill was little short of infamous. It was a proposition to dispose of the individual rights of citizens of Pennsylvania by a town meeting. To adopt it would show that the doctrines of Socialism controlled Congress, and that the rights of individuals were no to be longer held sacred. After further debate, on motion of Mr. Willis, of Kentucky, that portion of the clause was stricken out which gives the Secretary of War discretionary powers to seize the works of the navigation company. Pending further action, the committee arose and the House adjourned. Proceedings in the Senate. Washington, April 21.—The Chair laid before the Senate letters from the Secretary of the Interior, transmitting information as to landgrant wagon-roads in Oregon, and a copy of the session laws of the Territory of Wyoming. Referred. A resolution was offered by Mr. Gorman directing the committee on the library to consider the subject of a celebration, in 1889, of a centennial anniversary of the formation of the government, and in 1892, of the four-hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America. This resotion, Mr. Gorman said, was in place of that already submitted by him, which sailed for a special committee. On motion of Mr. Plumb the Senate passed a bill granting right of way through the military reservation at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., to the Fort Worth, Northern & Southern Railroad Company. All the private pension bills on the calendar, with the exception of half a dozen, were passed. The following bills were also passed: A bill granting to the city of Chattanooga, Tenn., a strip of ground through tbe government reservation in that city for purposes of a public street. A bill to authorize the Secretary of War to settle the claim of Rev. Dr. S. W. Marston, of St. Louis, a late Indian agent A bill to authorize the sale of timber on certain lands reserved for the use of the Menominee tribe of Indians in Wisconsin. A bill authorizing the Postmaster-general to credit Miss Wallace, postmistress at Washington, Ark., with the sum of $3Bl, being an amount lost by robbery of the mail at or near Hope, Ark. A bill to authorize actual settlers on the Uncompahgre and White river Ute Indian reservation, who have taken lands under the pre-emp-tion laws, to take 160 acres more at $1.25 an acre. A bill authorizing the county of Clatsop, Oregon, to build a bridge across Young’s bay, in that State. A House bill to protect homestead settlers within railway limits. [lt provides that homestead settlers on public lands within railway limits, who are restricted

to less than 160 acres, who have heretofore made or may hereafter make the additional entry allowed either by the act of March 3, 1879, or of July 1, 1879, after having made final proof of settlement and cultivation under the original entry, shall be entitled to have the lands covered by the additional entry patented without any further cost, or proof of settlement or cultivation. ] After an executive session, the Senate adjourned. New York State G. A. R. Convention. New York, April 21.—Tbe annual encampment and convention of the Grand Army of the Republic of the State of New York began here to-day, in the Academy of Music and Tammany HaiL The march of the veterans to the scene of the encampment was very imposing, about 3,000 men being in line. The attendance at the convention is the largest in the history of the organization in this State. After an address of welcome, a response on behalf of the organization was made. Letters of regret were rea . from Commander S. S. Burdette, of the G. A R. of the United States, Senator John A. Logan. Col. Frederick D. Grant and A. S. Tobin, of Pennsylvania. Appropriate addresses were made by General Woodford. Comrade Loring and Corporal Tanner. The afternoon was consumed in reading the reports of the commander, adjutant-general and other staff officers. That of the commander shows that there had been an increase in the membership during the past year of 9.000; 56 new posts were mustered, and 8 charters were granted. Five hundred and nine-ty-two posts were represented in the convantion. A Society Woman Charged with Forgery. Harrisburg, Pa., April 21.—Developments to-day indicate that three of the banks of this eity have lost SIO,OOO through forged notes presented by Miss Priscilla B. McClure, of this city, who has always figured in the best of society. The names used as-indorsers were her mother, Margaret McClure, and her brother, Wm. McClure, of this city, and her eou9in, Sherman Furtb, of Bellefonte, all of whom are the best of security. They deny the indorsements., Tho money was obtained in February last, at which time Miss McClure left tbe city. The notes fell due a few days ago. then the forgery was discovered. Miss McClure is highly connected, and herself and her mother, the latter a widow, are in good circumstances. She was one of the leading young ladies in Pine-street Church, and was always looked upon as a model of modesty, and was very unassuming. It is believed there is a man interested in the case. Repealing Sharpe’s Charter. Albany, N. Y., April 21.—The bill repealing the Broadway surface railroad charter passed the Assembly, this afternoon, by a vote of 100 to 16. The bill now goes to the Governor for his signature.

The bill to wind up the Broadway surface railroad corporation was passed—79 to 9. Condition ol* Mr. Crocker. New York, April 21. — The condition of Mr. Charles Crocker, who was injured by the overturning of his wagon, yesterday, is about the same—perhaps slightly better. It is said a motion will be made in a day or two to dismiss the indictment against Shaler, but such a step will be opposed by the district attorney, who said to day that he would move for another trial. The Value of an Eye. August Stuckmeyer has sued Frederick C. Hess aud Casper Hess for $5,000 damages for injuries received from au assault upon him by Frederick Hess, in the latter’s saloon on Madison avenue, March 6.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL SPRING ANNOUNCEMENT. TIIE DAILY JOURNAL There never was a season of more special and general interest than the present, with the promise of increasing importance until the country is face to face with the great presidential struggle of 1888. Inin durna this is particularly true; for Indiana is already in the preliminary work of the campaign of 1886, tht result of which is to decide the choice of a merabae of the United States Senate, and to exert a profound influence upon the character and outcome of the quad* rennial struggle. Not only in this view is the approaching campaign in this State of unusual interest, but it is of much importance locally to the people of Indiana. The oitizens of this State are suffering from tha maladministration of the Democratic party and from the outrageous partisanship of the last two General Assemblies. The State institutions have been prostituted to the basest party ends, taxes have been increased, debt has been piling up, and there is demoralization everywhere, from the lowest to the highest department of civil government. These questions of local administration must be met and generally disoussed by all the people, in view of the election to bd held next November, at which a verdict upon them is to be rendered by the court of last resort. No Repub* lican in Indiana can well afford to be without THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL during this time. Its columns will be devoted to * faithful and intelligent discussion of all these quea tions'in which the people have so deep and abiding a concern. The political character of The Journal ii fixed and well known. It is a Republican newspaper devoted with its best energy and ability to the advocacy of the principles of the Republican party. ThR Journal believes there is still a pressing demand fox real, honest, upright Republicanism, and to answer that, so far as it may be able, is itu desire and purpose. The Journal's columns will be edited with earnestness and sincerity, but with a due and proper regard to candid differences of opinion, and with full appreciation ol the privileges of personal judgment and the rights of private character. In its political conduct Thu Journal will never be the organ of any man nor the subservient tool of any faction. In local affairs it will continue to assert independence of dictation in the assumed name of party, subordinating at all times what may seem to be temporary partisan advantages to th* good of the whole community, and thereby the real, permanent benefit of the Republican organization. Honest measures of reform will meet with hearty commendation, but political charlatanism will be re buked. Ths Journal offers its past record in sup pert of its claims for the continued confidence of the public. In view of the pending political struggle in the State we believe no better agency for Republican success can be found than to increase the circulation of The Journal, both its daily and weekly issues, among the people. We call the attention of political committees in the various counties and districts to this suggestion. THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, “a newspaper, commends itself to everyone, irre spective of partisan consideration. No partisan zeal interferes with its comprehensive collection and fair publication of the news. Its high character as a newspaper is universally recognized, and it now ranks with the best newspapers of the country in point of completeness, and promptness and accuracy in dealing with the news of the world. The news features of The Journal for the current year have been largely increased. Attention is called to the superior character of the news from the field of its immediate circulation. We have special correspondents in all of the more important towns and cities of Indiana, eastern Ohio, and central and southern Illinois, and nothing of general interest occurring within these limits is omitted from the columns of The JOURNAL. Its general news is not excelled by any uaper. Its Washington service is as full and reliable, and readable as that of any metropolitan paper anywhere. No paper in the country is served with more comprehensive or accurate reports from Washington than The Journal. The financial and commercial columns of The Journal are full and accurate. The department of railway news is maintained as heretofore. Its local department is written by trained and competent reporters, and can be relied on to give all ths news worth giving, and give it intelligently and candidly. TIIE SUNDAY JOURNAL Has become the favorite issue of the week. The edition printed on that day is specially prepared, and is steadily increasing in circulation from week to week. It is sought after with avidity by both readers and shrewd, enterprising advertisers. The literary character of the Sunday Journal is as high as that of any paper in the United States. Besides the best writers in this country and in Europe, whose works have appeared. and will continue to appear in its columns, The Journal has introduced to the public many writers whose poems and sketches have now • fixeu and standard literary character and authority. While drawing upon the best authors of the world for original matter for its columns, THE JOURNAL has been and will continue to be specially the medium throng 1 * which local writers of the best class may find an appreciative audience. The Sunday Journal reaches all points possible to be reached by railway early on the day of its publication. THE WEEKLY JOURNAL. The Weekly Journal has been enlarged to twelve pages, making it the largest weekly paper circulating in this territory. The weekly edition is a complete compendium of the news of tho week, with special features of late and trustworthy market reports, and a department of industrial and agricultural intelligence, carefully prepared by an editor of long experience, and is printed and mailed the morning of the day on which it is dated. In these respects The Weekly Journal is superior to any mere agricultural paper, for the field it covers is infinitely more extensive than that which can be occupied by the special press. The sermon of Dr. Talmage will appear in The Weekly Journal each week. Special attention is called to the value of The Weekly Journal from a political point of view. All the political news and editorials on current political questions, giving a full discussion of all important issues to the people, will be found in the columns of Thb Weekly Journal. The subscription price of Tam Weekly Journal is only ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, postage prepaid. Special terms are made to clubs, and a fine list of premiums is offered to accompany subscriptions to the weekly edition. Sample copies will be furnished on application.
