ILLINOIS. An Alleged Detective, After Traveling * Crooked Path, Lands in Jail, fperliil to the Indianapolis Journal. Marshall, Nov. 10.— H. CJ. Jones, the elfconstituted “detective,” who has so gulled the people of Marshall, and the authorities in particular, is now behind the bars of the Marshall jail. For nearly four weeks he has been playing his little game. He first came here with a remarkably well conceived story of his labors in the cause of clearing up the mystery surrounding the murder of George Powers, station agent at Marshall Crossing, on the night of Sept. 11. He told so straight a story, and seemed to have worked up so strong a chain of evidence, claiming that he had the murdered man’s watch; also, letters which fixed the crime beyond a doubt on certain parties, that he was trusted to a great extent. He furnished with sls in money, a pair of hand cuffs and a good revolver. From time to time he sent encouraging telegrams (to be paid fop at this end ot the line], and finally, when ail was ready, he applied for $25 more. This was refused him. but. iustead, the agent at Lincoln, where he claimed to have his men in jail, was telegraphed to furnish him tickets, and the agent here would see that they wre paid for. This was done, and Jones then came out in his true colors, lie wrote all the iiore urgently for money. Finally, last isatur-

day night, the sheriff, who had just returned from a long trip to Helena, M. TANARUS., went to Lincoln. Jones in some way heard of his coming, and fled. Sheriff Fasr investigated the matter thoroughly, and found that Jones’s statements were all lies, and that he had never had any of the parties reported in jail. He left orders for Jones’s arrest. Last evening Jones was arrested at Greenup, and this morning Deputy Sheriff Harlan brought him here, lie claimed that he was not ready for trial, so it was put off until next Tuesday. Toledo Remains the County-Seat. Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal Mattoox, Nov. 10.—The citizens of Toledo, Cumberland county, are rejoicing over their victory over Greenup in retaining the county-seat.

About the Size of It. Boston Journal The Democratic press in Indiana attributes the party defeat in that State to the influence of the President, who has done nothing to stim ulate the ambition of young men, and has not heeded the advice of the old party leaders. It is more probable that there have not been enough offices to go aronnd. Manufactures Did It. In 1870 the village of Duilam, N. C., contained 250 inhabitants.

G. A. R. POST 100. Dedication and Camp-Fire at North Manchester—Speech by the Re?. Ira J. Chase. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. North Manchester, Nov. 10.—On Tuesday evening of this week occurred the dedication of the new G. A. R Hall, recently buil* by the order of this city. The hall was decorated with flags, festooning and pictures, and altogether appeared very neat, attractive and appropriate. Upon the wall immediately back of the stage was a framed emblem representing tbe three cardinal principle* of the order —fraternity, charity, loyalty. Loyalty is represented by a hero carrying shells; charity, by a member of the order bearing alms to widows and orphans, and fraternity by a comrade of superior rank contributing to tbe needs of a wounded private —position being removed and brotherly love controlling their generosity. At one side of this emblem was the G. A. R. eharter, and on the other was that of the W. R C., and at the right and left of these were the pictures of Washington and Lincoln. Elsewhere on the stage hung the charter of the Sons of Veterans. A little in front and above the stage was suspended tbe picture of General Grant, and about that were the letters “G. A. R.” and the significant figures, “1861-1865.” On one side of this were to be seen the beautifully arrange! letters, “S. of V.”, and on the other were “W. R. C.” Suspended upon the stage table-spread was a lovely surface bouquet of white chrysanthemums, in whieh were set in rea flowers the letters, “G. A. R.” This piece of art was a tribute from Mrs. M. Hively in honor of her former and fallen husband. On the east wall near the stage stood the beautiful banner of the W. R C., and a little removed from that were the picture of onr last martyred President and a motto bearing the words, “North Manchester Ever Welcomes the Defenders of the Union.” Further in the rear were to be seen the pictures of Generals Grant and Sheridan. From the upper support of the folding partition, near the center of the hall, was suspended a picture depicting the relative conditions of war scenes—North and South —and bearing the motto. “Let Us Forgive, But Not Forget.” Elsewhere were placed scenes reminding the patriot of Sherman’s march to the sea, of the battles of Gettysburg and Shiloh, of Washington’s triumph at Trenton and his crossing the Delaware, of the signing of tbe Declaration of Independence, of the fall of Richmond, and last, but not least, t.he scene of Camp Burgess, Bowling Green, Ky., camp of the Seventieth Indiana Volunteers, with Col. Ben Harrison in command. The hall was a thing of exquisite beauty. The dedication exercises were begun at 7:30, with music by Prof. Thomas’s orchestra, and invocation by Rev. Ryker. Following these was the song and chorua, “Tenting on tbe Old Camp Grounds,” the solo being sung by Miss Hattie Eicbholtz with a grace such as always characterizes her efforts. At the close of this, Comrade Sexton introduced our fellow-townsman. Hon. A. C. Mills, who delivered the address of welcoma He welcomed visiting friends and comrades to the new hall, and eulogized it as the pride of the city. The commanders of the late war, he said, brought back trophies more glorious than any carried by those of Greece and Rome—they brought back a country whose pride and endurance they augmented; they brought back the flag and not a star was lost In thanking the Giver of all Good, the soldier should not be forgotten. He bade all to be thrice welcome. The response was made by Comrade Anderson, of Huntington. That gentleman, after paying high compliments to the local post for erecting so fine a hall, dwelt upon the tenets of the order, and stated that the G. A. R, in the way of charity, has expended sl,176.688 60 to the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers. The loyalty of the fraternity is strong enough to incite its brotherhood to reach out after low and debauched comrades, entreat them to turn from error, and direct them toward such purity as will make them approved of God. In accepting the welcome, he wished that when comrades fall in line on the evergreen shore, before that saintly orderly, they might be prepared to receive that welcome plaudit, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.” After music by the orchestra, S. V. Hopkins introduced as the orator of the occasion the chaplain of the G. A. R of Indiana, Rev. Ira J. Chase. The gentleman said that he had looked forward to this event with great satisfaction, and that he was agreeably surprised. There is no better hall in the State outside of Indianapolis. He eulogized Indiana and its loyalty in sending in defense of the Union eight such armies as the nation now sustains. Husbands and brothers shouldered their muskets, and tbe bones of many of them are bleaching in the soil they fongbt to free. We look about us at the modem improvement* which the toil of the soldier has made possible, and one is made to feel like weeping, There is honor for the soldier! Next to the religion of Jesus Christ, I have always tried to ingraft honor and reverence for the soldier. He made a hard political strike at the government’s givine the bondholders two and a half times his original investment in gold, and neglecting the soldier in his loss of salary. The soldier has lost his health, but he don’t ask the government to do so much for him as it hAS done for the bondholders. Then he dwelt on the pension question, and observed that it was pretty hard that soldiers must rear their own monuments. This he used as an introduction to raising the deficit of S6OO on the hall, which amount he raised with ease, and kept up his good reputation as being an expert in tftiat business. After the desired amount of personal donations were given in, a collection was taken amounting to $10.60. The financial part of the programme being closed, the audience joined in singing “Marching Through Georgia,” whieh was followed by the dedication ceremonies by members of the local post. “John Brown’s Body Lies Moldering in the Tomb” was then sung, and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Greenman. , This evening the camp-fire exercises are in progress. The attendance is as large as the capacity of the hall will admit, only those being admitted who are members of the order and invited guests, owing to lack of room. Speeches were made by many of those present, and your correspondent regrets being unable to get telegraphic service here at night to transmit a report of the meeting, but suffice to say that it has been a great success, beyond expectation, and the post and the city now possess a hall of which they are justly proud.

A Mugwump Reply to the Sentinel’s Charges. Springfield Republican. The Republicans [in Indiana] have not won their fight on national issues at all, but on State matters, where they have forced the fighting all along the line. The Democrats have lost and have deserved to lose, because their State govvernment has been corrupt and their public officials unfit for the places they hold. The Republican charges have been of a deficit of $150,000 in the State treasury, of which the Democratic majority in the Legislature defeated an investigation; that the head of the combined State charities, including Deaf and Dumb, Insane and Orphan asylums, was a libertine, seducer and abortionist; that the Democratic Legislature gerrymandered the State outrageously, and in several of the congressional contests that the Democratic candidates were men unfit for any office whatever. The platform of the Republicans put these State issues strongly, and the reading of this plank aroused great enthusiasm: The Democratic party failed to honor its profession favoring civil-service reform, “so that honesty and capability might be made the condition of public employment;” it defeated a bill for this reform introduced and unanimously supported by Republicans; it consigned the benevolent institutions to corrupt and partisan boards; it surrendered the management of feeble minded children and the orphans of our Union soldiers to trustees and by whom they were debauched, outraged, handcuffed, confined in dungeons, and maltreated under circumstances of unspeakable barbarity. What had the President to do with any of those issues? Asa matter of fact the civilservice rules have been let down in Indiana as nowhere else in the country. The partisan activity of government and State officials has been the subject of sharp censure from the civilservice refodtfi association of the State, and the administration ha* borne the odium of the violations of the law by its officials in Indiana, presumably because the politicians urged that the salvation of Ihe party depended upon these men. Now that they have beaten instead of saving the party, they caunot shift the load. The attempt is too thin. If their story were true, they have

eut off their own heads to “rebuke” the administration, and the administration could stand it. One of the hopeful features of the eloction is ♦he rarity of such po3t-election fights, this from Indiana being tbe only one of which notice has yet been served upon the country. Many of the States where they used to occur have made them impossible by registration laws, and laws adequately protecting the polls and the ballot-boxes after the polls close. The Indiana Democracy are to blame that there are no snch laws in that State. They have bad the Legislature. No Contest of Mrs Stewart's Will. New York Commercial Advertiser. The arrival of Charles J. Clinch in New York is likely to affect the announced determination of Mrs. A. T. Stewart’s heirs not to contest her will. The only persons who would be the gainers, were it to be broken, would be her half sisters, the Misses Clinch, and they are understood to be well satisfied with the provision made for them. It is not probable that Mr. Clinch will object to the probating of the will, as under it he will inherit four or five times more than be would by law. It is asserted that Mrs. Stewart was always reluctant to come to any final decision as to what amounts should be given her relations. The provision made under one of the codicils to her will, that ex-Judge Hilton might give to any of them whose portions were thought too small from the trust fuod left in bis hands, freed her, in a measure, from responsibility in the matter. The money left ex-Judge Hilton by Mrs. Stewart in trust will amount to more than $10,000,000, and he can spend it as he sees fit. It will probably go to some school or benevolent institution, but certainly not to any charity. A. T. Stewart disliked paupers; in fact, he could not even look at one with any degree of patience; and it is well understood that Mr. Hilton, out of deference to Mr. Stewart’s views, will not give the money in such a way that any one will be benefited unless they have earned the right to be helped. Just Imagine. Springfield Republican. The Republicans of Indiana unquestionably elect their State ticket, including a Lieutenantgovernor to succeed Lieutenant governor Manson, who was appointed collector of internal revenue a few months since. As the action of this officer as President of the Senate will have an important bearing upon tbe election of a Senator, the Democrats claim that there is no vacancy, Manson never havine resigned his State office, though he caught at the government place as a hungry trout takes a fly. Imagine what the Democrats would have said to such a claim if they had carried the State and the Republicans should make it. Objections to High License. Elgin Every Saturday. ♦ Gmftbabac saloons paying SI,OOO per year license, and that mensy into the school fund. The result is that the public schools of Omaha are as fine as any iu the country. But a silly sentiment prevails which opposes the adoption of this plan in other sections, on the ground that education should not be fostered by money derived from such a source. I have heard men talk, but I have yet to find a man sufficiently sincere in his profession of this sort to refuse to sell goods to a saloon-keeper, When this man is found the dime mnseum managers want him. They have him on the list of undiscovered curiosities. A Grain of Comfort. Boston Journal. It is amusing to see the Journal and some other Republican papers trying to get a grain of comfort out of the recent elections—Globe. The crumb of comfort consists of a Governor, Lieutenant-governor, seven out of eight members of the executive council, the entire State ticket, a majority of both branches of the State Legislature, eight oat of twelve Congressmen—a large gain throughout, the country of Republican Congressmen, the defeat of Morrison and Hurd—but why continue? We are content.

Aggressive, Sharp and Vigorous. Goshen News. • While much credit is due Senator Harrison for the result of tbe campaign, the Indianapolis Journal won new laurels and the gratitude of the Republicans of Indiana. It made an aggressive fight, sharp and vigorous, and while we do not indorse all of the Journal’s conduct, yet we admire the able manner in which it led the Republican canvass and press of Indiana. It brought the issues to tbe front and held them there with telling effect, the result of which is a matter of record. m ~ ~ Tife Way of the Courts. Boston Journal. The delavs in the returns from Indiana, New Jersey and California are very suspicious. They encourage tbe suspicion that the Democrats are trying to steal the Legislatures in those States in order to get the United States Senators. Such enterprises, however, have their risks. The courts have got in the way of sending men concerned in them to the penitentiary. This Is Called News. Washington Special in New York World. A servant at the White House took advantage of the absence of Mrs. Cleveland to-day to give her pet dog, the famous poodle, a whipping. Hector's yells were pathetic and heart-rending, but the hard-hearted mugwump menial applied a reform whip over the dog with merciless firmness, until Hector was silenced for one campaign at least. A Democratic Confession. Philadelphia Press. This noisy nonsense about John Jarrett’s buying and bribing enough voters to beat Horizontal Morrison is not becoming to the small-headed blatherskites who are indulging in it. Nevertheless it is an interesting confession that the Democrats out there were for sale. The “Old Family” Mania. Boston Transcript. Although it is said that Mr. Cleveland was never in Boston before, he ought to feel very much at home here. Seven of the eight American generations of his family, since 1648, were born in New England, and four of them within six miles of Boston. Business in Indiana. Kansas <’ity Star. The proverbial fool-killer has been singularly I inient toward the moss-back Democrats thus far, but he may yet rise up in his wrath and begin a general massacre. Whenever he shall do this he will find abundant material in Indiana. Not a Heroine. Terre Haute Gazette. There is no use making a heroine of Mrs. Parsons, as some of the correspondents seem to be trying to do, because she is trying to save her husband’s neck. A hyena would do as much for its mate. Corked Up. Atlanta Constitution. The Democrats in the new House of Representatives will not be pestered with the tariff issue to any great extent Tbe free-trade orator cannot afford to take out the bung.

Sore Eyes The eyes are always in sympathy with the body, and afford an excellent index of its condition. When the eyes become weak, and the lids inflamed and sore, it is an evidence that the system has become disordered by Scrofula, for which Ayer’s Sarsaparilla is the best known remedy. Scrofula, which produced a painful inflammation in my eyes, caused me much Buffering for a number of years. By the advice of a physician I commenced taking Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. After using this medicine a short time I was completely Cured My eyes are now in a splendid condition, and I am as well and strong as ever. Mrs. William Gage, Concord, N. H. For a number of years I was troubled with a humor in my eyes, and was unable to obtain any relief until I commenced using Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This medicine has effected a complete cure, and I believe it to be the best of blood purifiers. —C. E. Upton, Nashua, N. H. From childhood, and until with a few months, I have been afflicted with Weak and Sore Eyes. I have used for these complaints, with beneficial results, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and consider it a great blood purifier. Mrs. C. Phillips, Hover, Vt. I suffered for a year with inflammation in my left eye. Three ulcers formed on the ball, depriving me of sight, and causing great pain. After trying many other remedies, to no purpose, I was finally induced to use Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. .By Taking three bottles of this medicine I have been entirely cured. My sight has been restored, and there is no sign of inflammation, sore, or ulcer in my eye. —Kendal T. Bowen, Sugar Tree Ridge, Ohio. My daughter, ten years old, was afflicted with Scrofulous Sore Eyes. During the last two years she never saw light of f,ny kind. Physicians of the highest standing exerted their skill, but with no Sermar.ent success. On the recommenation of a friend I purchased a bottle of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, which my daughter commenced taking. Before she had used the third bottle her sight was restored. Her cure is complete. —W. E. Sutherland, Evangelist, Shelby City, Ky. ft Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, Prepared by Dr. J. C. Ayer & Cos., Lowell, Mass. Bold by all Druggists. ~ Pee $1; six Jtotliee, $5.
