Officer Chubb, of Eau Claire, Wis.. was fatally shot, yesterday, by a drunken man whom he was frying to arrest A farmer named Upsold, living six miles from Chetek, Wis., yesterday cut his wife’s throat from ear to ear and then hanged himself with a bod-cord. Domestic infelicity was the cause. Postoffice Inspector Pulcifier yesterday removed the postmaster at Maud, Kingman county, Kansas, and turned the office over to his bondsmen, on account of the postmaster's failure to remit balance due the government. George H. Prescott, aged forty-five, confidential olerk for Wise & Melander, of Boston, agents for the Chicago & Northwestern railroad in that city, has disappeared, after borrowing several thousand dollars from various business acquaintances. At Newark, 0., yesterday, Joseph Jefferson, aged about fifteen years, jumped on a Panhandle freight train which was running six miles an hour. Ho fell between the cars and was almost instantly killed. His body was cut almost entirely in two, and his left arm and leg cut off. James Heihier, an old soldier, residing at Hutchinson, Kas., was found yesterday in his bed, with hia throat cut and his head nearly haggled off. He lived alone, and is supposed to have committed suicide by using an old butcherknife. He had probably been dead several days. Cause unknown. Mrs. Delia Parnell, on Thursdav, took passage for Queenstown in the steamer Celtic. Only her most intimate friends were on the dock to bid her “God speed.’’ The old lady, who will be seventy-two years of aee ou the 17th of February next, showed scarcely a trace of her severe illness of last winter. John Judge, a well-to-do man, seventy years of aee, and an old resident of Corry, Pa., was instantly killed last night. He was crossing the railroad track in the west part of the city, when a freight engine, backing up, struck him, completely catting his head off, badly mutilating his body and dragging it for some distance. Mrs. Marian Godfrey, wife of Rufus Godfrey, a wealthy farmer residing near Erie, Pa., left her husband’s side on Wednesday, and on Thursday morning was found at the bottom of the Nickel-plate bridge, near by.

The river steamer C. C. Carroll, owned by Capt D. H. Silver, of St Louis, bound for St Lonis from Kansas City, struck a snag, Wednesday night, at Chapman’s Landing, and sunk. She cannot be raised, and will probably prove a total loss. She wa# valued at $15,000; insured for $lO,000 in New Orleans companies. She carried one thousand sacks of grain, which are fully insured. Douglass Smith, a clerk in the auditor's office at the New York custom house, has been accused of embezzlement His duty was to receive all moneys from duties on books at the postoffice. Lately, Collector Magone discovered that a deficiency of $4,000 existed in the accounts of Smith. The thefts extend back through the terms of Collectors Hedden and Robertson. Fuller investigation may show the amount to exceed $4,000.

Odd-Fellows Eu Route to Boston. Chicago, Sept. 17. —Since this morning Oddfellows have been pouring into Chicago. Special trains have arrived <fh nearly all the Northwest ern, Western and Southwestern railway lines centering at this city. The occasion for this assemblage is the meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of the order, which begins in Boston on Monday. This city was selected as the rendezvous of all members of the fraternity from points west of the Mississippi river. Six thousand of them had arrived up to to-night, and by tomorrow the number will have reached ten thousand. Many of the visiting brothers are members of the Patriarchs Militant, and wear the uniform of that rank. It is the intention of the whole body of visitors and the Chicago contingent to leave for Bosion to morrow over the Grand Trunk road. There were one hundred Pullman cars iu the Grand Trunk yards tonight, which had arrived as parts of special trains on the Western roads, Most of the visitors preferred to retain their quarters iu the cars to going to hotels. The visitors were tendered a reception at the First Methodist Church by the Chicago Association. About one thousand persons were present, including many ladies. Charleston Needs More Assistance. Charleston, S.

THE IIfDULN APOLIS JOUITNAI* SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1886.

iy MEMORY OP THE SOLDIERS Dedication of a Memorial Arch at Hartford —Address by Senator Joseph R. Hawley. Hartford, Sept 17.—The dedication of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Arch took place to-day. All the banks and places of business were closed, and the day was observed as a general holiday in honor of the event Fully 15,000 persons were present, and the city was gayly decorated with flags and bunting. Among the military who participated in the celebration were many Grand Army posts, the 'Tibbetts Veteran Corps, the Providence Artillery and the Thirteenth Regiment of New York. At a few minutes past 1 o’clock the monument was presented to the town by Col. George P. Bissell, who spoke in behalf of the building commission. General Hawley then delivered his address of acceptance, in the course of which ho said: “On the 17th of September, 1879, a great multitude of citizens and ex-soldiers of the war of the Rebellion assembled from all parts of our State here to carry and accompany the battleflags of Connecticut with deliberate ceremony and every imaginable lokeu of profound feeling from their temporary resting place at the State Arsenal to their final home, in the new, pure and noble State-house, and now, on the 17th of September, 1886, we, of Hertford, are again gathered here to the completion of yonder stately monqm*ul£ erected in the language of the legend it bears: “ ‘ln honor of the men of Hartford Who served, and in memory of chose who fell, On land or sea, or in the war for the Union, Their grateful townsmen have raised this memorial. ’ “The repeated selection of this day for military ceremonials in Connecticut has a serious and yet a proud significance. Twenty-four years ago four Connecticut regiments, the Eighth, Eleventh,- Fourteenth and Sixteenth, a brigade, under the command of General Harland, of Norwich, participated in the battle of Antietam, two of the regiments, new and untrained, receiving that day their baptism of fire, and ths brigade losing 602 killed and wounded. On no other day did Conneticut make so great a sacrifice. Hartford shared in the deaths, the wounded and the honors.” The speaker then paid a glowing tribute to the memory of the dead and the bravery of the survivors. In a general way ho reviewed the history of the State, dwelling at length and specifically on Connecticut's part in quelling the great Rebellion, and closing with warm and tender references to the dead patriots in whose memory the great arch was erected, and whose deeds it is intended to honor. He said: “Horace Bushnell, lawyer, editor, preacher, above all, a man, soldier and servant of the Lord, orator and patriot, said on some occasion similar to this: ‘The heroes of the war are the dead.’ Now, in the time of profound peace, given to the care of material things, drudging in a treadmill of common cares, it is only, upon some day like this that the standards and the glittering bayonets of your admirable citizen soldiery, but more still, the presence of the aging yet vigorous veterans, with their tumultuous drumming, bring back with a thrill the memory of the awful week whon Sumter surrendered and Abraham Lincoln called for 75,000 men to save the Republic. “Having seen nothing of war for fifty years within our own borders; looking upon it as a matchless calamity, but belonging only to other continents; ignorant of its art and training, conscious of fierce factions and political creeds, deadly hostile to each other, it may well be supposed that the future seemed dark and stormy to the loyal people. The enemies of republican government filled the air with prophesies of our downfall—not to say with exultations over the future of the great experiment, deemed dangerous to their institutions. They believed democracy incapable of national unity and combined energy under severe trial. They believed the people incapable of imposing upon themselves great burdens of taxation and debt, except for a brief interval of passion. “It is but just to say that many of our nominal leaders manifested like skepticism. Gladstone, now the foremost Liberal of Europe, declared the country hopelessly divided. What was won by the war? An indissoluble Union was restored. There may be relation, but there can never be secession. Universal liberty was established, human slavery banished. By constitution and statute the equality of rights has been established in the ballot-box, the jurybox, the witness-box and tbe cartridee-box.” At the conclusion of General Hawley’s address a dedication song, by Rev. Dr. E. A. Barker, was sung. The literary exercises then followed, after which there was a parade, participated io by thousands of veterans, visiting military corps, the Governors' Foot Guard and other organizations.

An Effort to Exclude Reporters. Halifax, N. S., Sept. 17.—Testimony was taken to day in the case American schooner David J. Adams, seized last May for violation of the fishery laws. At the opening of the court Mr. Meagher, counsel for the United States, protested against the presence of reporters, but the commissioner declared tnat he had r.o authority to remove them. As they were leaving the room at the close of the session they were all served with subpoenas in the case, the intention being to exclude them for the remainder of the session, under the law preventing witnesses from hearing the testimony of other witnesses in the same case. The reporters have employed counsel, and will make a fight to prevent their exclusion to-morrow. Mr. Meagher says he will exclude the reporters or break dp the hearing. The matter has created a sensation. Sullivan and Hearld Will Fight. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 17.—The meeting between John L. Sullivan and Frank Hearld is not off. Thomas Highes. the manager, says it will positively take place in the Coliseum, Allegheny, to-morrow night. Sullivan and Hearld are both to arrive to-night. A meeting of the leading ministers of Allegheny City was held in Millers Hall to-night to tako measures to prevent the Sullivan-Hearld fight. It was decided to visit the Mayor and chief of polico in a body to-morrow morning and request them to revoke the license that had been granted. If the authorities refuse to interfere, it is proposed to go into eourt and ask for an induction restraining the pugilists from fighting. Another Sensation on tho Border. Laredo, Tex , Sept. 17.—Recently, Juen Rubles, a Mexican, was arrested in New Laredo, Mexico, on a charge of desertion from the Mexican army five years ago. Rubles claimed American citizenship, and said that he was a policeman at Laredo, Tex. Friends interested themselves in behalf of Rubies and appealed to the United States consul, and the prisoner was released. The affair created a sensation. Steamship News. New York, Sept 17.—Arrived: State of Alabama, from Glasgow; Pennland, from Antwerp; Baltic, from Liverpool; Eider, from Bremen. Trouble in Philadelphia’s Postoffice. Philadelphia Record (Dem.) Mr. Harrity succeeded General Huidekoper on Dec. 1, 1885, and since then he has made four hundred appointment*, just about half the entire force employed in the department The Republicans who remain are not overly friendly with the Democratic contingent, but most of the trouble is caused by the Democrats themselves. There have beeu many intelligent Democrats appointed, but it appears that most of them have made un their minds to do as little work as possible. Those who passed the civil-service examination for clerkships found, on entering upon their duties, that they were expected to carry big'mail-bag* around and do such heavy work as is usually performed by porters in wholesale stores. They have turned up their noses at this, saying that when they consented to figure on the government pay rolls they calculated upon obtaing a nice, easy job. The clerkships havo turned out to be myths, and the new appointees are dissatisfied and discontented. Another source of trouble is the feeling of bitterness engendered between the Catholic and Protestant Democrats. There are a great many of the former creed employed there, and if a Catholic Democrat happens to get a good position the Protestants in that department point their fiugers and say: “If I were of his creed I would be well fixed.” These dissensions have led to much of the delay cbmplained of recently. This is said to be tho lightest season of the year for the business of the postoffico, and if the

hands daily become “swamped 1 * now it can be readily seen that the department will be in no end of trouble within the next three months, when the mails will be augmented by the usual business incident to the Christmas trade. Unless Postmaster Harrity is enabled, by that time, to establish a more fraternal feeling among his men the mails will be overcrowded aud delayed far worse than now. A Worthy Ticket and an Honest Platform. Connelton Gazette. Tbe ticket nominated by the Republican State convention, on the 2d inst., is in every way worthy of the united support of the party, and will receive it There is not a single point of weakness in it. It will command the unqualified indorsement of the party, and, if elected, will insure an able, economical and faithful administration of our State government. The platform enunciated is worthy the earnest, advanced thinkers who constructed it. It embodies the true doctrines of State and national government. We point to it as an admirable statement of the position of the party upon the live issues of the day, and as practically above just criticism. A Compliment to a Great Man, Springfield Republican. The complimentary banquet to Frederick Douglass, given by the Wendell Phillips Club, of Boston, last evening, was an honor richly deserved from his race by the most eminent representative it has had in this country, one who has done it credit, the highest credit, and only credit, through a long life, aud stands to-day an object of universal esteem and admiration. Mr. Douglass is now about sixty-nine years old, and his life covers the wdole scope of the experience of his race in America. There is scarcely a more wonderful story in the history of the world than he epitomizes in his person and career. •Nothing But Cheap Sentiment. Wabash Courier. President Cleveland says he has great respect for the colored people. This reminds us of the words which the average novel-writer puts into the mouth of his heroine when the latter’s hand is asked in marriage by some duk*, count or marquis whom she has mashed: “I respect you, but I cannot marry you.” Cleveland respects the colored people, but he cannot permit them to share to any considerable extent in the party spoils.* As evidence of this we note the fact that the Cleveland administration has appointed one colored man to office and removed three hundred. . Phelps’s High Horse. 3* Louis Post-Dispatch (Tern.; Phelps was supposed to be, like our minister to Mexico, who so soon resigned in disgust, far above the average of Mr. Bayard’s queer collection, and, indeed, intellectually superior to his chief. But here we find him overtasking even Mr. Bayard’s capacity for blundering. Where on earth did he get the notion that there would be either decency or dignity in our government’s meeting with a coarse and purse-proud rejection a kindly offer of help to one of our stricken cities from a friendly and kindred people? The Saloon Must Go. Chicago Tribune “I am in favor of this anti-saloon movement,” said “Buffalo’’ Miller to the president of the whisky pool, as he looked at the delegates about the Grand Pacific last night. “1 am against the saloon. It must go. I believe every man ought to keep a barrel in his cellar. Yes, lam with these fellows through and through.’’ Booming Himself aud Not the Indians. Philadelphia Press. Indian affairs are not booming very prosperously under this administration. The trouble seems to be that Commissioner Atkins is devoting himself too largely tofindingenough Indians or other fellows to procure his election as United States Senator from Tennessee. Good All Around. Rock port Indiana Pocket. The platform is sound, clear and explicit upon the principal issues before the people. The candidates nominated are men of high character, of special fitness for the positions assigned them, and are universally popular. All Wool and a lard Wide. Terre Haute Soldier-Labor Advocate The platform is good. The ticket is better. All Republicans and fair-minded men of all parties can unite in electing the nominees of the Republican party, and honor themselves and the State by doing so. Democrats Tumble to Themselves. Philadelphia Record. It is very clear that a great postoffice cannot be managed in the same way as a ward caucus or the party machinery of a city committee. Business is business.

Governor Gray’* Senatorial Solicitude. !o the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: la the declaration of that prince of political demagogues, Hon. Isaac P. Gray, in a recent speech delivered by him at Logansport, that, in view of the fact that the next Legislature will be called upon to elect a successor to Senator Harrison, he would, if necessitated, “vote for the devil on the Democratic ticket ” in order t# send a Democrat to the United States Senate from this State, our Governor is most charmingly frank; but he might have gone a little further and explained his individual anxiety to represent even his Satanic Majesty in the capacity of United States Senator. This undignified language emanating from the lips of one occupying the proud position of Governor of our great State must prove nauseating to every highminded and respectable citizen thereof. It is, however, in keeping with the past history of one who has never proven true to any party, only io so far as it could be made to subserve his own private selfish ambitions. It is in keeping with the past history of one who, in 3807, subscribed to the blasphemous oath of the Know-nothing party, by which ho bound himself never to vote for any foreigner or Roman Catholic for any office in the gift of the America!) people. Governor Gray may be, and probably is, sincere in saying ho would, at the present time, vote for the devil on the Democratic ticket, ns he is not bound by any past unpleasant obligations to refrain from so doing; but it is safe to predict that the iron-clad oath to which he subscribed in the Know-nothing lodge at New Madison. 0., in 1857. will lose the vote of our distinguished partisan Governor to the Democratic candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, who is an Irish Catholic* Andehson, Ind., Sept. 14. Celt. Sheriff Carter Sues the Commissioners. Sheriff Carter has for the past several months, with the regularity of clock-work, presented to the County Commissioners his bill for boarding five or six prisoners, who, the Commissioners say, ought to have been sent to the work-house. The sheriff kept the prisoners until their terms of imprisonment expired, because the Commissioners would not give him receipts for each one individually. Had they done this he says he would have turned ‘.hem over to the work-house authorities, but he was not going to do it on the blanket order issued when the general transfer to that institution of prisoners held for minor offenses took place. It was part of the Commissioners' monthly duty to reject that bill. They began to look for it; but yesterday the sheriff took another course by filing suit against them to recover the $367 said to be due. Thanks from the Earthquake Sufferers. Fifty dollars was collected from the congregation of the Second Presbyterian Church last Sunday for the benefit of the sufferers from the earthquake at Charleston, S. C. A telegram was received yesterday by Mr. John S.

WANT THE BARRIER REMOVED. The National Assembly of Miners Willing to Work Harmoniously with the Federation. The National District Assembly of Miners yesterday used their time mostly in discussing the report of the committee on law which submitted alform of constitution governing sub-dis-tricts in their relation to the National Assembly. There were no material differences m the views expressed, and the report wa3 adopted without amendment. In the afternoon the committee on resolutions submitted a series that called for extended debate. The greater attention was given to that which brought in review the action of the federated miners in prohibiting its officers from holding official position in any other labor organization. The assembly miners avoided any undue warmth of expression, but at the same time criticised such a measure as not being conducive to the best interests of miners. They considered that this action had raised a barrier between the assembly and federation, both of which shonid work in uoison for the same great end—the elevation of the craft The resolution was finally adopted, as follows: Inasmuch as the Federation of Miners and Mine Laborers has placed a barrier between that organization and our order. Resolved, That the executive officers of the National District Assembly confer with, tho officer* of the federation and try to work harmoniously, providing the barrier is removed. The election of officers will take place to day. 'Die State Fair Attractions.
