INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS the Daily Chronicle of Happenings of All Kinds in the Two States. Evansville and Her City Bonds—Resignation of a Postmaster—Heavy Losses of Miami Coonty Farmers—Notes and Heauinj's. INDIANA. Evansville Will Pay Her Bonds at No Higher Figure than Fifty Cents. lipeeial to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville. Deo. I.—Tbo press telegram from Washington, to the effect that the city of Evansville and the holders of her bonds were about to agree on a settlement, is untrue. The sentiment here is overwhelming in favor of fifty cents on the dollar. The Democrats have the present council, elected on that platform, and there is said to be an alliance between the Democrats and the workingmen’s party, which i3 very strong here, for the spring election, one of the conditions of which is that they shall stand out until the end for a fifty ceut settlement. It is conceded that such an alliance would elect every councilman in the city by heavy majorities. These bonds are all held in New York and New England. The Brazil Post master Resigns. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Brazil. Dec. I.—Cant. T. Nl. Robertson, Re publican, has forwarded bis resignation as postmaster at Brazil, to take effect Jan. 1. The Captain’s term docs not expire until Jan. 29, but he desires to wind up the affairs of the office with the oid year. He has served two terms acceptably to all our people, who reluctantly give him op for a Democratic successor. Who will be bis successor is a question that bothered Lamb considerably. and that is still open. A letter from Senator Voorhees to J. D. Sourwine, received last night, says the Captain’s resignation has been duly filed and will be acted on at once. Mr. Sourwine is also assured by the Senator that he has been recommended for the position. At a special election some months aeo Mr. J. J. Lynch was elected as the choice of the Democracy. The situation is complicated, and a qualified successor may be slow in materializing. Excited Over the Arrest of a Murderer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Hartford City, Dec. I.—Jode Maddox, who was arreted yesterday morning charged with assault with intent to kill Albert McDorman, at Montpelier, on Monday night, escaped from the officers who had him in charge, about noon yesterday, but after a desperate chaSe wis recaptured, and bonnd over in SI,OOO bond, in default of which he was brought to this city last evening and lodged in jail. Maddox has ou several different occasions figured prominently in similar scrapes, and for several years has been regarded in his vicinity as a bad man. The citizens of Montpelier are greatly excited, and indignation is high. It is believed that bad Maddox been allowed to remain in the town last night a private demonstration resulting in violence w >uld have occurred. A Contractor in Danger. Special to the Indianapolis Journal Corydon, Dec I.—The laborers employed at the stone quarry at Crandall station, on the Air-line railroad, attempted to mob the contractor, Mr. Carmody, yesterday, because he had faded to pay their wages. Rad Gags were raised and greet excitement prevailed during the day. Mr. Carmody secreted himself in a shanty, and his son came to Corydon and notified the officers. When constable W. G. Heth arrived upon the scene the contractor was in imminent danger of being violently dealt with. Constable Heth escorted Carmody to the station, where he took a west-bound train, promising to return and pay the men their wages within a few days.

Rev. E L. Dolph, of the First M. E. Church, preached the funeral. Coal-Oil and Diphtheria. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, Dec. I.—James M. Starr, proprietor of the gas works, while perhaps Returned by a mercenary motive, has established the fact, none the less interesting, that the theory of Dr. Wilson, of Meriden, Conn., with regard to the relation of kerosene to diph tberia. holds good in this city. He has looked into the cases of diphtheria reported in a year, and finds that of 102 cases ninety-six were in families using coal oil exclusively, aud only one where gas was used exclusively, tne remaining five eases being where they used both coal-oil and gas. A Life Ruined by Drink. Special to the lndiauanolis Journal. Richmond, Dec. 1. —Charles Stockmeyer. one of the best horse shoers ever in Richmond, whose life has been made a failure by drink, was arrested to-day on the charge of forgery, and hp may charge that to the same old account. He forged the name of L. K. Harris, his employer, to an order on Mather Bros., coal dealers, and Harris, who had within a week suffered twice as much of a loss in raotiev Stockmover had taken in for work and not accounted for. concluded he wanted no more of it, and did cot make the order good. Deatli from Paralysis. SpeciaV to the Indianapolis Journal. Wabash. Dec. I.—Late last night, while Allen Lester, a farmer residing near Rich Valley, tnis county, was driving home from Wabash, he was stricken with paralysis and rendered helpless two miles from home.

McKim & Cos ’a coal-yard, this Afternoon. LoM"ea of Miami Coonty Farmers. Ipeel il to the Indianapolis Journal. Pr.au. Dec. I.—The loss bv hog cholera in this ounty is mm-h larger than supposed Representative farmers now claim that the loss in all halts of the county will exceed ten thousand lollars within the last two weeks. Over two xuusand dead hogs have been brought in to the

grease refiners within the last three days. In consequence farmers have not enough pork to supply their needs through the winter. Minor Note*. J. 0. Davis, of Bluffton. a groceryman. has assigned. Liabilities, $11,000; nominal assets, $2,000. On Thanksgiving day, at Linwood, John W. Beale and Miss Mattie Bates, school teachers, were married, but an hour after the ceremony the groom disappeared, and has not since been heard of. The farmers in the vicinity of Charlestown are considerably annoyed by the depredations of a strange animal, which they think is a catamount. Sheep, poultry and valuable dogs are killed nearly every night by the animal. An infant daughter of James BozArth, living in Allen township, Miami oountv, fell into a kettle of boiling water and was scalded to death. The mother had left the water sittiug on the floor, and during her temporary absence the child fell in while playing around it. Benjamin B. Richards, a youne attorney of Russiaville, Howard county, has filed his complaint against the town of Marion, demanding $5,000 damages. Mr. Richards was in Marion on Thanksgiving night, and while on the way to his hotel fell over an impediment in a sidewalk and broke his left, wrist. Thomas O. Peacock, of Rockville, a photographer, has been arrested for printing obscene photos of a young girl sixteen years old. She claims to havo been drueged. Her father caused the arrest, three of the photos coming into his possession. Peacock was put under SIOO bonds, and will have a trial on Friday. -At Lafayette, on Monday night, a passenger on a Wabash train reported to the conductor that a man who had occupied a seat with hurt bad left the car and taken the wrong va'ise. The valise of the passenger who had disappeared was then opened and found to coutain an ax, with the handle broken, and $1,200. The man whose valise was taken was en route for Springfield, 111. Allen Carr is under arrest at Bedford on a peace warrant sworn out by his brother, whom he had tried to kill twice. His brother savs he burned his barn and threatened to kill M. N. Moore on sight. In attempting to take him to the jail he cut the sheriff's thumb almost off, and nearly amputated the right foot of the deputy sheriff. Three knives were taken away from him that were as sharp as razors. Miss Carrie Harter, a prominent society lady and teacher in the public school at Akron, was arrested on the charge of assault and battery preferred by Miss Maud Pontious. The latter is a pupil under the control of Miss Harter, and the arrest grew out of a chastisement administered by Miss Harter during school hours. The case was tried before a jury, but it disagreed, and the case will probably come to trial again. George W. Brown, a wealthy farmer, who ten years ago deserted his wife, living south of Logansport, appeared at a school near his former home on Monday and carried off his boy, twelve yeais of age. An older son followed the kidnaper. and caught up with him in the depot at Logansport. Father and son indulged in a fight, during which the younger boy escaped. It was the intention of Brown to take the latter to Kansas, where ho now resides. On Monday evening, William Wilburn and John Gee. each about nineteen years old, were plavinc cowboy at Glen Miller, near Richmond, and firing guns at each other. Gee had an oldfashioned Springfield musket, and planted a heavy wad against Wilburn’s stomach, the wad entering about an inch and tearing a hole into which the attending surgeon could insert, four fingers of his hand. The bundle of paper was removed, but the wound is so severe that he cannot possibly recover.

Dillon & Cos., Norman horse importers of this city, ten years ago sold three stallions for $7,500 to Theodore Skillman, who went to Passadena, Cal., taking the horses with him, paying $2,500 cash on his purchase. Skillman ceased paying, and on investigating the matter, some time after. Dillon & Cos. discovered that the California statute of limitations had ran against them. They quietly submitted, but nave ever since kept surveillance over Skillman. and a few days ago. when he arrived at New York with an importation of horses, they attached the horses for the debt. Skillman came here to-day and settled the claim in full by paying something liko $7,000. Indian Convicts Released. Joliet, Dec. I.—“ Beaver” and “Samuel,” the two wild Arrapahoe Indians who have been in confinement at the Joliet prison for a year past, shook off their prison stripes, yesterday, and resumed their red blankets and war paint, their sentences having expired.

They were sent up for killing beef cattle. rt/nch Bugs in the Southern Counties. L ingfield. Dec. I.—Professor Forbes, State Entomologist, has completed a taorough examination of the southern Illinois wheat-pro-ducing counties, where losses have been caused by ravages of chinch hues, and he finds that the infested area has largely increased during the year. He considers the outlook, inconsequence, very eloomy for the 1887 wheat crop in that section, unless some nnusual state of weather should destroy the brood while hatching. Valuable Animals Killed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Dec. I—Millard Scott, the trotting horse breeder, near this city, sustains the loss of three of his most valuable brood mares. The auimals, which he valued at $1,200, escaped from pasture last night and were killed by a. train on the Chicago & Alton road. Brief Mention.

It was only by the most vigorous efforts that he saved himself. , We indorse all the proprietors have said relative to the merits of Salvation Oil. It is the greatest cure on earth for pam. Price, only 25 cents.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1886.

LETTERS FROM TEE PEOPLE. Mr. McCulloch and the Anarchists Again. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: “To err is human, to forgive, divine.” Mr. McCulloch probably made a mistake, in announcing from the platform on Sunday morning his feelings in reference to the condemned Chicago Anarchist* and his opinion >f the trial through which the conviction was '-icnred. But, in the light of Mr. McCulloch’s r. ord in Indianapolis, 1 don’t see that we need t- iave been surprised at his action, and cannot sea that it calls for the harsh criticisms that have been made. There are plenty of people that oppose capital punishment, under any circumstance*; for, while hanging seems too good for some men, it is a terrible thing to hang an innocent man. and it is well known that many in the past have been thus punished for crime of which they were not guilty. To deal justly and love mercy goes further with Mr. McCulloch than “whole burnt offering and sacrifice,” and to my mind, Chri3t to him is not 60 much a supernatural, as a superior being of our own race; a helper more than a healer. The benevolence, the kindness of heart, the sympathetic feeling as manifested and taught by our Savior, come to Mr. McCulloch as something more tangible than those mysteries of a two-fold nature and supernatural powers about which theologians wrangle. Such, I think, is a fair inference, judging frofn the work he has done, and is doing in Indianapolis; and no one can say that his work here has been anything but honorable and prai-r- worthy. If all were as conscientious, as iudefatiguable. as systematic, as true to their convictions of the right as they see the right, and, withal, as charitable of feeling toward struggling humanity, perhaps there wonld be fewer Anarchists. Let us be charitable in bis case, if he has erred in this instance. Indianapolis, Dec. 1. W. S. Smite. A New Dispensation and a New Saint. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal-. Rev. O. C. McCulloch, of this city, in his card to the Journal, expresses the thought that if the Chicago Anarchists are hanged, as they are condemned to be. their blood will be the seed of a new dispensation, which we are to infer will rank with the Christian dispensation. He quotes that the blood of the saints is the seed of the church. Hence he leaves the impression that these murderers will be saints after they are hung, and anew church will grow up out of their biood. What will be the character of this new dispensation? If it is one of blood, as is suggested, will it grow out of the blood of the murderers or from that of their innocent victims? If it is one of tears, will it flow from the tears and curses of the termagant Mrs. Parsons, or that of the widows and orphans of the murdered officers who died at their post? Mr. McCulloch’s tears are shed for the condemned murderers, because they are caught and convicted. His eyes are dry at the memory of the sorrowing and starving widows and orphans of the dead men. Constantly his sympathies run with the guilty. Their victims he has no stomach for. At the next meeting of the group to which the murderers belonged we may expect him to be canonized as Saint Oscar of the Sorrowful Countenance. Already it is seen that the Knights of Labor of this city, who have no feeling for the murdered men’s families, have indorsed the new saint and his utterauces. A fit person, this, to be at the head of an institution which dispenses benevolent charities to the worthy pocr and suffering. m.

Mr. Meagher's Ineligibility. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Inasmuch as your readers are gathering information touching the members of our next Legislature, let me drop an additional sugeestion. In re the Meagher matter, if he is ineligible, then there is a “road out” for the Republican who ran against him which has not yet been referred to. If Meagher is ineligible, then the votes cast for him cannot be counted as against eligible candidates. See Stato ex re]. Morley vs. Johnsou et aL, 100 Ind., p. 489; Waldo vs. Wallace, 12 Ind., p. 569: Gulick vs New, 14 Ind., p. 93; Howard v& Shoemaker, 35 Ind., p. Ill; Carson vs. McPhetridge, 15 Ind , p. 327; State ex re], vs. Gallagher, 81 Ind., p. 558. The statute —Sec. 4721—provides, when one is elected Representative, that “the clerk of the Circuit Court shall, after ten days from the time the board of canvassers has -made its return, make out and deliver, on demand, to such person, a certificate of his election.” Meagher being ineligible, then his Republican opponent is elected. Let him make demand on the clerk for his certificate of election. If the clerk refuses to issue it, then he can mandamus him and compel him to do his duty. If the clerk answer that he has issued a certificate to Meagher, a reply setting up his ineligibility would raise the whole question. If he is ineligible, the certificate so issued to him is a nullity, and the eligible candidate receiving the highest number of votes is the duly elected legislator. Greenfield, Dec. 1. Lex. Mr. Screes’* Accounts. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal; Being a reader of yoar paper, and believing you to be a lover of justice, no doubt you will permit me to answer a piece in the Journal of this date headed “Trouble with a Treasurer.” In the first place, the assertion that I was treasurer of the late railroad fair is a mistake, as Mr. Ed. K. Whitsit was treasurer, altnough Mr. Wm. Hugo took charge of the proceeds without even allowing Mr. W. the chance to count the money. Mr. Whitsit will bear me out in the above. Again, the article charges me with using the funds of the Mutual Health Association for my own benefit, which I pointblank deny, as only last Sabbath I turned over to Mr. C. N. Zepp, the present secretary, all books and papers, with an itemized account of all moneys spent by me during my term of office, taking a receipt for the same On the other hand. Eureka Lodge No. 14, at the present writing, is indebted to me in the sum of $23.75, which was voted me for services rendered as chairman of arrangements during the late fair. I claim this to be a piece of spite work on the part of some of my political friends in the Democratic ranks, as I saw fit to spend the greater part of two weeks’ time to secure the defeat of one of the Democratic nominees. Should any farther explanation be necessary I will be only to glad to eive it. W. T. Screes. Indianapolis, Dec. 1. An Evf’tnrial Indorsed. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: I want to indorse emphatically the editorial in the Journal of yesterday, headed “Mr. McCulloch and the Anarchists.” It is high time such sicklv sentiment as is expressed in his letter of explanation, on page 7 of the same number, is condemned. It leads to anarchy in our country. Rev. John A. Campbell. Frankfort, Dec. 1. Political Philosophy in Our Colleges. lion. Will Cumback, in Roston Citizen. Some friend was kind enough to send me an address delivered in 1883 before the literary so cieties of the University of North Carolina hy the Hon. Thomas C. Manning. LL. D. The title of this able and eloquent address is “The Performance of Political Duties the Great Need of the Present Day.” Dr. Manning, araoug the many other valuable points in his address, suggests “that a chair of political philosophy should be as permanent a feature in the curriculum of American colleges as a chair of natural philosophy or of moral philosophy.” It seems to me there is great force in this suggestion. Our educated men give cast and color to our civilization and are the leaders in human progress. They are editing the papers and magazines we are daily reading. They are preaching the sermons we hear every Sabbath. They are on the platform lecturing on philosophy, law, medicine, theology and all the many themes that interest and instruct mankind. And yet how little do they know of politics as a science. How poorly are they equipped to lead wheu the partisan and the demagogue have so tangled our civic affairs that onlv chaos and disorder appear Os what service are our D. D’s or our LL D.’s, or any of our classical scholars in the great convulsions erowing out of the conflicts between capital and labor—conflicts that cause the whole Nation to torn pale with fear, lest everything may be involved iu a common ruin? How many of them comprehend the intricate duties of rightfully and properly levying

taxes on the property of our own peopl*, and imposing duties on the imports from other nations? Our Senators and Representatives are, for the most part, men of education; yet it is painfully manifest that only those who are permitted to remain a long time in Congress have any broad conception of the political needs of the Nation. And these have to educate themselves in a school where mistakes are the guide-boards to something better, and where parly interests, and not the Nation’s, are, for the most part, the paramount end of those who lead. The facilities for obtaining correct knowledge of political ethics in the balls of Congress ara not the best. Old men make poor students, especially of subjects they have ignored in their yonnger days. The science of government is the science of sciences. It touches us at every point. The difficult problem of so adjusting human rights as to have all in consistency with the liberty of the citizen, or being able to make clear to him that he must surrender this, and give up that, for the common good, lift himself out of himself, and become a willing worker in the complex relations of human society ahd government. It is becoming more and more apparent that the whole subject should be taught, not only in our colleges and universities, but that civics should also receive all the attention possible in our common schools. The statutes of any people are the indices of tbeir civilization. Moral forces may, and do, restrain and regulate the conduct of men to some extent, but it requires the force of law to correct existing evils. In the law books of any people you can almost see at a glance whether they have a broad and intelligent comprehension of the duty and scope of good government. Not only must the rights of property be protected, but the health and morals of humanity must with equal care and vigilance be so guarded as not to infringe on natural rights. We have had great scholars and learned scientists for centuries, yet during all this time great evils, within the proper scope and power of legislative correction, have scourged the race. Yet these men of learning, for want of proper training, were not able to discover and point out a remedy. While the pestilence that walketh in darkness and wasteth at noonday has been doing its deadly work in civilized lands for centuries, it is within comparatively recent times that the desolation can be arrested by the enforcement of sanitary enactments. Education has thrown a flood of light and dispelled the superstitions in the domain of philosophy, astronomy, geology, and in many other directions. but there has beembat little progress in a broader and better comprehension of the rights and obligations of citizenship. It will be seen that the range of instruction in the department of political philosophy would be very wide, and it is a mortifying fact that, if every institution of learning in this country were to enter this field and add such a chair, with all our host of scholars, with all our boasted culture, the most of the departments wonld remain unfilled by competent instructors. In this active age this deficiency may soon be supplied. Let us reach after the practical. The languages that are dead may remain dead; but the scholar of today must know how to grapple with the things that live, and that make so mnch, not only of his own life, but of the lives of those around him. Man must be the focal point for all this modern light. * DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN. Indications. Washington, Dec. 2, 1 a. m.

Joseph Powell, of the Signal Service, has been detailed to proceed to Omaha to organize the meteorological service of the Union Pacific railroad, which is to co-operate with the United States Signal-service Bureau. About thirty stations will be established along the line of this railroad. It is stated that the Northern Pacific and Canada Pacific railroad companies also contemplate the establishment of meteorological service, and the Signalservice Bureau will aid the project to the extent of its ability, as these services are expected to materially assist the bureau in weather prognostications. With these aids, it is beiieved that a cold wave or any decided change in temperature can readily be traced in its eastward course. Low Temperature in the Northwest. St. Paul, Minn., Dec. 1. —At 6 o’clock the temperature was 10 degrees below zero. This morning at St. Vincent it was 22 below, and at Garry and Bismarck 17 below.

PUMPING MACHINERY

DR. BARKER, Oculist and Aurist, from Cincinnati, 0., Is Coming. The celebrated German specialist will soon vist Indianapolis, affording those who have any affections of the eye, ear, nose, throat, blood or nerves, needing spectacles or artificial eyes, the opportunity of securing the services of a specialist who has no superior and few equals. He is not of the “cure-all” class, but a specialist in the highest order of modern science, and, after eighteen years’ experience, is prepared to offer superior treatment in his specialties by new, improved and almost painless methods. The most stubborn cases in which others fail readily yield to his unrivaled skill. The Evansville Daily Tribune-News says: “Dr. Barker, the eminent German Oculist and Aurist from Cincinnati, 0., who has been sojourning in this city administering relief to the afflicted, leaves for Henderson to day, where he will receive patients needing his skillful attention. During the Doctor’s sojourn in this city last spring he made such a reputation as a skillful and successful practitioner that many whom he had treated, and for whom he wrought miraculous cures, solicited his return that their friends might reap the benefit of his superior skill. During this visit he has treated hundreds of cases, most of which are permanent cures.
