the docket; to-morrow there will be 1,100 facing Ibe court. Last year the court cleared up about 400 cases, and with that number as a fair basis of work for the coming year, the court it may be said, is nearly three years behindhand, and with fair prospect of running still further behind this and each succeeding year, uoless Confress does sometnine to remedy matters. t is conceded on all sides that something ought to be done to facilitate and expedite the work of the eonrt, and various propositions have been advanced during the past few years in cither House of Coneress to accomplish this, but none of them have found favor with both houses, and so the court goes ahead from year to year with its uphill work. The long delays to which litigants are now subjected are, in many cases, equivalent to a denial of justice, and the situation is bound to grow worse and worse each year unless matters are remedied. Os course, it is Congress, and Congress alone, that can remedy matters; but officials connected with the court have little faith in immediate help from Coneress, and have no hesitation in saying that things are likely to go on from bad to worse for some time yet to come. The court will meet formally to-morrow, but will transact no business beyond passing favorably upon the applications on file of lawyers who desire to practice before it. The court will then adjourn for the day, and, in accordance with the custom and practice of years, will proceed in a body to the executive mansion, where the judges will pay their annual respects to the President. On Tuesday business will fairly begin, and a number of cases which have been advanced on the docket will he taken up. First among these are what are known as the Boston Pacific National Bank cases, ten in number, made up of appeals by shareholders of the bank f r om the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Massachusetts in favor of the receiver of the bank, and involving the question of the right of the Comptroller of the Curreucy to assess the bank stockholders 100 per cent, of their stock for the benefit of the creditors of the bank. Another of the advanced cases is the appeal of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas railway from the decision of the United States Circuit Court of Kansas, vacating the company’s title to 20,000 acres of land along the route of their road in Kansas. Still another of the advanced cases is that of the Choctaw Indian nation, appealing from a decision of the Court of Claims, Ohich allowed the Indians $400,000 for land in the Indian Territory conveyed to the United States under the Choctaw treaty of 1820. The Choctaws are not satisfied with this allowance, and will endeavor, in this suit, to obtaiu several Billion dollars more. A full bench is expected to-morrow, as all the justices arc understood to be in the city. BOSTON’S NEW POSTMASTER. '(.lie President Appoints John M. Corse, a Simon-Pure Democrat. Washington Special. The appointment of Gen. John M. Corse as postmaster at Boston is satisfactory to the Democrats here as an evidence of the President’s disposition to come down from his chilly reform attitude and help the party as much as possible in the coming elections. Mr. E. S. Tobey, the postmaster who has been suspended, has held the office fora number of years, and his present term had about eighteen months to run before expiration. He was eminently satisfactory to the business men, to the Republicans and to the mugwumps. The stalwart Democrats, however, have been after his scalp ever since Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated, and last spring Representative Collins, who is the chairman of the Bay State Democratic committee, brought General Corse on to this city and the two had a long conversation with the President Mr. Cleveland then practically agreed that when a change in the postoffice should be made he would give the appointment to General Corse, but in view of the length of time Tobey had to serve, and also of the policy he had adopted of allowing efficient officials to serve out their terms, he was not ready to make the change then. Collins picked out the case of the Philadelphia postoffice, but that only made the President hesitate more to stir up another opposition. Last week Collins sent a letter to the President getting forth that the feeling that existed among the Democrats in his State against the administration was so strong that it would seriously imperil even the two Democratic seats in Congress unless something was done. Every appointment heretofore in the State had been a mugwump, and now if some simon-pure Democrat should be given a big office it would bring the party round all right. He urged that General Corse should be made postmaster at once, and with such force that the President yielded, and the result was the appointment to day. ANTI-CIVIL-SERVICE REFORM. Hon. A. S. Willis Defeated for Renomination —Senator Beck’s Snpremacy Threatened. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Louisville, Ky., Oct. 9.—Hon. Albert S. Willis, who for ten years has represented this —the Fifth Kentucky—district in Congress, was to-day defeated for renomination at the Democratic primaries by Hon. Asher G. Caruth, present commonwealth attorney, of this city. The latter received a majority of 1,237 in the city, and has an indicated majority of 1,700 in the district. The fight for the nomination between these two candidates has been a very bitter one. Caruth was the Courier-Journal’s candidate, on the issue raised by Willis’s recommendation of Mrs. Thompson, who had held office under two previous Republican administrations, for reappointment as postmistress. Owing to the representations of Mr. Willis that a majority of ths Democrats of Louisville desired the appointment, together with the indorsement of Senator Beck, President Cleveland reappointed Mrs. Thompson. It is asserted here that the war against Democratic mugwnmpism and civil-service reform will be manifest in opposition to Senator Beck’s reelection when his term expires, and the result of this election is regarded as anti-civil service, and a condemnation of the political policies of both Senator Beck and Speaker Carlisle. TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES. At Mount Pleasant, Tex., John Dellard and James Reed quarreled, on Saturday. The men fired a dozen shots at each other, and both were killed. In a difficulty, on Saturday night, J. A. Freeze, of Rowan county. North Carolina, a student at the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill, was killed by a negro. Opium valued at $20,000, brought from China on the steamer Belgic, which arrived at San Francisco, on Thursday, has been seized by the customs authorities. The drug was consigned as tea to Chung Yek & Cos., of San Francisco. The safe of Green’s jewelry store, at Greenville, Mich., was cracked on Friday night by burglars, and $7,000 iu cash and jewelry stolen. The burglars were evidently experts, and secured their tools from a neighboring blacksmith shop. The body of Judge Hager was caught, on Saturday, about two miles below where the steamer Mascotte exploded. This is the first one of the drowned persons that has been found, except the four brought to Cape Girardeau on the Eagle. The suffering victims are all doing well, except the carpenter, Davidson. Advices from Fordyce, Ark., report a two-thoueami-dollar express robbery at that place. Ths money is reported to have been stolen from the Southern Express Company by H. B. Miller, a telegraph operator. The robber is described as having dark hair and mustache, left arm off between elbow and wrist, and also wears an artificial leg. Ho woye a blue plaid suit John F. McLees was lynched at Montrose, Col., by vigilantes, early on Saturday morning. He went to town with the intention of killing the sheriff and all concerned in the ‘‘running out of town’’ of bis son, a desperate character. Before goine out to do the “killing” he got drunk and was locked up the calaboose, from where he was taken by the vigilantes. He bore a bad reputation, having killed several men.

RUSSIA’S DISGUSTED ENVOY. He Condemns the Conduct of Bulgarians as Absurd and Unpatriotic, And Abruptly Ends a Conference by Taming His Back on a Deputation—The Growing Hostility of France Toward England. • _ KAULBARS AND THE BULGARIA NS. The Czar Will Adhere to the Plans He Has Already Laid Down. London, Oct 10.—A special correspondent bad an interview with Kanlbars. at Rustchuk. The Russian agent condemned the conduct of the Regents as absurd and unpatriotic. He said Bulgaria, without the Czai’s protection, would be powerless, bankrupt, and become the prey of agitators at home and abroad. “The Czar,” continued Kaulbars, “graciously sent me upon a conciliatory mission, and Bulgaria’s salvation depends upon the acceptance of Russia’s overtures. The Czar will never recogaize the elec tion while officers to whom even Battenberg granted amnesty remain in prison. The Regents are very evidently intriguing to re-elect Battenberg and then negotiate a surrender on better terms. But the Czar will never consent to the adoption of any course other than that already laid down by Russia. British and Italian consuls increase the dangers of the situation by their language, which is most violent. I will start tomorrow morning for Shumla, going thence to Yarna, and from there returning to Rustchuk. I have reason to believe troops hostile to the Regent occupy Binla, an important telegraph center controlling communication with Sofia.” The correspondent said Kaulbars was evidently astounded at and irritated by the obstinacy of the government and people. In the afternoon Kaulbars met a deputation of citizens who were avowedly opDOsed to Russia’s occupation of Bulgaria. General Kaulbars delivered au oration to the delegates, but was interrupted by members of the committee, who wished to discuss the different questions touched by the speaker. The General became enraged at the many interruptions, and turning his back on the delegates, abrubtly ended the conference. A plot has been discovered to create revolts among the Bulgarians by means of armed bands engaged by the Russian consulates at Sofia, Philipnopolis and Rustchuk. The ringleaders of the conspiracy have been arrested. M. Neklindoff, the Russian agent at Sofia, has suspended relations with the Bulgarian government, pending instructions from General Kaulbars. To-day 130 peasants earae into Sofia from surrounding villages, and, after visiting the Russian consulate, where they were harangued by Consul Neklindoff, tried to pat a stop to the elections. An affray ensued, in which sticks and stones were freely used, and several persons were wounded. The intruders were eventually expelled from the city. Consul Neklindoff complained to the consuls of the other powers that the elections were illlegal, inasmuch as friends and followers of Zaukoff were roughly handled and not allowed to vote. The consuls sent evasive replies. The polling is now going on quietly, and will be concluded this evening. The election disturbers are Macedonians, and are consequently not entitled to vote. The Russian consulate supplied the rioters with money and spirits, aud they renewed the conflict A crowd threatened to attack the consulate, whereupon the consul's servants opened fire upon the mob. It is reported that eight persons were wounded. General Kaulbars has telegraphed the Czar that he must now be either recalled or furnished with troops. The failure of his mission is generally admitted. It is reported that the Russian government is preparing a note to the powers, which will be a forerunner of decisive measures in Bulgaria. THE PLOT TO BURN VIENNA. Details of the Recently-Discovered Scheme for Destroying the Austrian Capital. Vienna, Oct. 10.—The Vienna police have furnished the press with an account of the recently-discovered Anarchist plot to burn Vienna. Although many details are obviously suppressed, the plot is shown to have surpassed in extent and diabolical ingenuity any dynamite scheme hitherto concocted. Seven of the conspirators have been arrested. An examination of the prisoners shows that the plot was hatched in and directed from America and London, and was to be carried out by Viennese Anarchists who recently returned from America. The plot was cleverly organized. The conspirators were divided into several groups, one of which was detailed to set fire to the town, another to take charge of the dynamite operations, and another to forge the necessary official documents to coin money for expenses. Parties were detailed to set fire to Penzing, Untermeidling, Heizendorf, Meidling and Favoriten. The police got wind of the plot and watched it until it was almost mature. They received great praise for their zeal and circumspection. An Anarchist of Prague gave the first information concerning the conspiracy to the authorities. The plotters were mostly Czechs and Germans. They held secret meetings in a taven at Penzing, where operatives were instructed in the use and manufacture of bombs. The seizures include numerous daggers and bombs, dynamite, firebottles for firing buildings, printing and forging imDlements, and a variety of disguises, all of the most ingenious character. One plan to obtain money was by means of a forged document to frighten old ladies, at whose houses the plotters would make a domiciliary visit under pretense of searching for counterfeit money, when they would seize all the good money upon which they could lay hands. FRANCE GROWING BELLICOSE. Increased Hostility of the French Press and Public Toward England. London, Oct. 9.—The government’s advices from their various European embassies concur in the opinion that the activity in French diplomacy against England is a part of the joint action of France with Russia in response to English attempts to secure an alliance with Germany, Austria and Italy against Russia. Among the latest developments of French tactics is the protest of M. Michael Chevalier, French commissioner of the Egyptian “caisse de la dette publique,” to the effect that the anarchy in the administration of Egypt is so great that it is impossible to make up the state accounts. The protest has become the basis of a note from M. De Freycinet demanding the removal of the English functionaries, and the establishment of a system of multiple contrat. The French press perceptibly increases in its hostility toward England. The papers are daily filled with articles boasting of the immense strength of the French army and navy, and declaring that France was in readiness for offensive or defensive war. These attacks are also in many instances pointed at Germany. Since the success of last autumn’s maneuver the French mind has become possessed of the belief that the army of France is a match for that of Germany. A remarkable article written by M. Barthelemey, the author of the notable war song. “Arant Bataille,” appears in a Paris journal. It declares that France is ready to put in the field 3,000,000 trained soldiers, thus possessing the

most powerful means for action existing among European nations. Another journal warns England of the feebleness of her military resources in case of an invasion by a powerful enemy. THE dIIBI RIOTS. Business Entirely Suspended Because of the Existing Disturbances. London, Oct 9.—Advices from Delhi say that rioting continues there, and that business has * been stopped. The presence of the military alone prevents bloodshed. The situation, which has grown out of religious rioting between Hindus and Mohammedans, is extremely critical Reinforcements have been sent here from Meerut to help preserve order. The Mohammedans last evening attacked a small Hindu temple. Hindus defended it. A desperate fight ensued, in which Mohammedans trinmphed. The victors besmeared the temple with blood, smashed the idols and destroyed buildings. Twenty Hindus were so badly wounded that they had to be removed to hospitals, where they lie in a critical condition. Troops are sustaining order to day. Serious riots prevail throughout the districts of Jevpoor and Kattywar. The Bengal government declined to interfere with native religious customs by initiating reforms looking towards abolishing infant marriages and enforced widowhood. The government insists that the question of reform in these matters must for the present be left with the Hindus themselves. FOREIGN MISCELLANY. Ghastly Experiments at the Paris School of Practical Surgery. Paris, Oct 9. — A ghastly pantomime, recalling to mind Poe’s narrative of the galvanizing of a mummy, was enacted on Monday at the Practical School of Surgery, where the bodies of Frey and Riviere were placed at the disposal of the surgeons to experiment on. A number of experiments were made, among them the following to re-establish circulation in the several heads: The veins were injected with blood taken from a living animal. The skin of tho face, previously livid, became charged with color. The lips recovered their natural red. and tho cheeks filled out. Irregular movements agitated the skin, and the faces resumed the appearance of life. Electric currents were passed through the facial nerves, and the contractions of the face were noted. There were, however, no results in the slightest degree indicative of any restoration of life or consciousness. The nerves shortly ceased to betray any sensibility, and it was evident that all perception and sensation was at an end. Quiet Not Wanted in Ireland. Dublin, Oct 10. —In speaking at Gurtneen, Sligo, to-day, Mr. Wm. O'Brien, editor of United Ireland, said that, if the people allowed the coming winter to pass quietly, the government would use that fact as an argument against Gladstone and Parnell in the next session of Parliament. The English Liberals, he believed, would uot mourn if another batch of rack renters were expelled from Ireland. If the government were foolish or criminal enough to suppress the National League. 1,800 secret societies would spring up iu its stpad. A Victory for Socialists. Berlin. Oct. 10.—Six Social Democrats, connected witli a party of 200 workingmen who, on Ascension Day. got into a fight with the police, have been acquitted. The jury that tried them was composed of well-to-do citizons, and the verdict was an immense surprise. The charge being conspiracy against the peace of the country, it was intended, if a verdict of guilty were found, that the sentences should be a number of years in state prison. Fifty witnesses were examined. and the trial lasted two days. The Socialists are rejoiced at the result. Horrible Crime of a Thirteen-IJaar-Oid Girl. Panama, Oct 10.—A horrible tragedy has occurred at Chinquinquira, in the State of Cundinamorca, where a child thirteen years of age murdered three children by stabbing them with a rusty table knife and subsequently beating their brains out with a stone. The child murderer is very small for her age, and it is believed that she committed this horrible crime while suffering from an attack of the brain, produced by having been bitten some weeks previously by a mad dog. _ An Intended Murder Prevented. Paris, Oct. 9. —An attempt to shoot the manager of the great iron works at Creuzot has been frustrated by an employe, who informed the police and showed them where to capture the criminal. The workmen disown sympathy with the accused man. It is supposed he had private motives for the assault. Mr. Beecher’s Farewell. London, Oct. 10.—Rev. Henry Ward Beecher’s farewell lecture will be delivered in London tomorrow evening. At a mass-meeting of members of the Congregationalist Church Mr. Beecher was given a most eloquent farewell. Cable Notes. Gen. Joseph Alexis Uhrich, the defender of Strasbnrg during the Franco-Prussian war, is dead. He was born Feb. 15, 1802. Mr. Gladstone is suffering with a cold which keens him within doors. The condition of his daughter. Mrs. Drew, is still critical. Senator Lafavette and General Grevyhave declined to go to New York to represent the French Senate at the dedication of the statue of Liberty, and Admiral Jatires and General Pelissier have been chosen in their stead. Herr Franta, editor of the Munich Fremdenblatt, has been sentenced to four months' imprisonment for having published an insulting article against the Ministry on the occasion of the suicide of King Louis of Bavaria. The Pope has charged all nuncios to communicate to the various governments a protest against the continued persecution of the church by the Italian government. An allocution will soon be issued embodying the protest. Herr Wachtel, the famous singer, is suffering from enlargement of the heart and dropsy. For several weeks he was unable to lie down, and was obliged to sit in a chair day and night. He has recently undergone an operation which relieved him, and he is now able to leave his room, although not yet. out of danger. Coming Meetings of Cattlemen.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS Discovery at Wolf Lake Indicating the Perpetration of a Doable Murder. Charles Bell Run Over and Killed by a Passenger Train—Young Girl Fatally Shot— Scliwaben Yerein Reunion—Gleanings. INDIANA. Two Dead Bodies Found in Wolf Lake—lndications of a Donbh Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Chicago, Oct. 10. —On Sept 28 John White, Lynn Graves and John Goodrich went hunting on Wolf lake, near Hammond, Ind. Late in the day White was seen swimming ashore, while the boat and his companions were not to be seen. When he arrived at the town he stated that while hunting the boat had upset. Graves, White said, went down at once, while Goodrich had endeavored to cling to the boat, but had slipped off and afterwards drowned. This story, at the time, seemed improbable. The water in Wolf Lake is very shallow, beingscarcely more than ten feet deep in any part. Shortly after the drowning White disappeared, and has since kept persistently out of the way. Yesterday the two bodies wore recovered. Grave’s head was crushed in. as if by the but of a gun, while Goodrich’s body showed similar wounds. The coroner in Hammond took charge of the bodies and held an inquest, at which it was decided that the two men had died by violence. The verdict recommended White’s arrest and examination as a witness. Scliwaben Vnrein Reunion. Special to the lndianaeolis Journal.

Washington, Oct 10.—The Daviess county fair closed yesterday with remarkable sqpcess. The grounds are within the corporate limits of this city, and are not only convenient of access but are very beautiful in appearance. The attendance throughout the whole week was unusually large, and was particularly so on the last three days, the number being estimated at ten thousand each day. The stock on exhi bition was from ail parts of the State, and every stall was filled, and even the livery stables in the city were hired by the association to take care of the stock that could not be accommodated on the grounds. A. F. Cabel. the secretary of the association, deserves special mention for bis untiring energy in behalf of the fair. Young Girl Fatally Shot. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. South Bend, Oct. 10.—John H. Empenstall, a drunken farmer who worked on the farm of Mrs. O’Neill, north of this city, was discharged two days ago for drunkenness and because of his attentions to Mrs. O’Neill’s daughter Ida, a handsome girl of seventeen.

On Saturday morning Mrs. Lena Krumreich, a well-known lady of Henryville, committed suicide by jumping into a well. A few months ago she lost a son, to whom she was much devoted. Ever since the death of her son she has been brooding over her bereavement, and, the trouble preying upon her mind, produced insanity. Martin Triplet, nineteen, was found dead in a thicket on his father’s farm, near the Marion Granee fair grounds, in the edge of Vigo county, Saturday. He had gone hunting the day before. He had evidently blown into his gun barrel, thinking it empty, as its contents entered his mouth, tearing away the back of his bead. Mellville Hogue, a miner, living at Carbon, met death on Friday under peculiar circumstances. He had been on a “spree.” Arising from bed at night he liehted a miuer’s lampi and obtaining the bottle in which liquor was kept, proceeded to pour out a glassful.

He then rushed out of the door and made his escape. The Diamond Drill Company has struck a vein of coal forty-two inches thick in Clinton, at a depth of between 500 and 600 feet. The thickness of the vein was not sufficient to justify working it, and the company continued boring. Two attempts before to find coal at Clinton by this same company proved ineffectual, but in both instances the failure was due to the pipes and machinery getting out of order. OUTDOOR SPORTS. Bright Prospects for a Successful Fall Trotting Meeting at Terre Haute. Bpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. Terre HaTTte, Oct. 9.—The Terre Haute Trotting Association, composed of gentlemen who, in the past two years, have devoted much time and money in developing an interest in fine horses in this part of the State, will give a fall meeting this week, for which there have been entered more fast horses than are generally gathered together on more pretentious racecourses. At first the idea of a fall meeting, in addition to the spring event, was considered an experiment, but the assured success has convinced the members that hereafter two meetings should be given every year. At the spring meeting the fastest pacing and trotting record ever made in the State was made on the new mile track. There are hones entered this week which have records that promise even better time. On Friday there will be a free-for-all trot and a free-for-all pace, in which at least a half dozen bores are entered with records better than 2:17. Among the trotters are Joe Davis, Tom Rogers, Phyllis, Jerome Turner (best record on the St. Louis track) and Felix. Among she pacers are Jewett, Marlowe, Rich ball and Little Em. The railroads will run excursion trains, ana, as Terre Haute is well supplied with railroad facilities, it is expected that laree crowds will le in attendance from the surrounding country. . Base-Ball Yesterday. Cincinnati, Oct. 10.—The Baltimore3 and Cincinnatis ended tha championship season here to-day before a crowd of 2,500 people.

Henry Clay never was at a loss for a word or “boggled” while speaking. With Mr. Webstar it was different, and he often would hesitate and then rub his nose with the bent knuckle of bis right thumb. Mr. Calhoun, when at a loss for a word, would give a petulant twist at his large, turned-over shirt-collar, and than run his bony Augers through his long gray hair until it stood

up like the hair on an electric toy. Mr. Benton would sink his voice and mumble something that no one could understand, and General Cass would "Aw! aw!” in the English style, passing hie hand beneath the lower edge of his capacious white waistcoat. Mr. Webster was almost invariably “stuck” when he attempted to use a Latin quotation, and when Mr. Everett was in the Senate ho used invariably to appeal to him. Bynum, Hendricks and the Irish. Indianapoliß New Record. If Bynum denounced Kendricks as “a liar, a sneak and a hypocrite,” Creel man promptly came to the front ana seconded the motion by decorating Hendricks with the epithet of “damned old traitor.” Mostlovingly did Bynum and Creeitnan pull together in the unhallowed work of defamine Thomas A. Hendricks. And now the friends of the lamented statesman are requested to contribute their votes to place Mr. Bynum for a second term in Congrass. Will they do it? Not all of them. There are Democrats whose courage is equal to their convictions, who believe that when a Democrat like Mr. Bynum defames a Democrat like Thomas A. Hendricks that he ought not to represent the Democratic party, or any fraction of the Democratic party anywhere, and they are men who can neither be bought, scared nor cajoled. They are loyal to principle; Democrats who, admiring integrity and purity of character, appreciating high capabilities de- ' voted to the best interests of their State and country, will never by their suffrages place a man in official position who has demonstrated his inability to comprehend such a Democrat as Thomas A. Hendricks, but who. taking council of an addled brain, and calling to his aid such a political montebank adventurer as Creelman, sought by methods born of insanity, idiocy and malice to lift himself into office by hurling vulgar epithets at “Indiana’s favorite son.” We speak whereof we know, when we say there are multiplied hundreds of Irish-Arnerican voters who will never again vote for Mr. Bynum as a candidate for any position whatever. Mr. Blauvelt Found.
