In addition to the forgeries reported last night by Samuel Young, editor and proprietor of the Delphi Journal, another of $500 came to light to-day, Bower's Benk, of this place, being the holder of the spurious paper. The entire amounts now known reach $2,000. Young is reported to have been seen at 2 o'clock this morning, at Lafayette Junction, where he wrote a hasty note to his young bride of a month. A receiver was appointed for the Journal to-day. No news of his arrest had been receired up to 7 o'clock to-nlffht. Satisfactory Tost of Vincennes Water Works. I.cerial to the Indianapolis Journal. ' Vincennes, Jan. 28. The new water-works were given their first practical test this morning, in the teeth of a gale, and it is a matter of pride and satisfaction to Vincennes that the test was entirely satisfactory. At 9 o'clock fire broke out in the hay-mow of the stables of the Streetrailway Company, and for fire-or six hours it refused to be subdued, although three streams played on the flames all the time. The blaze was confined to the stables, but the fire department declare that the whole neighborhood would have burned if only the engines and cisterns had been available for protection. Nearly one hundred thousand gallons of water were thrown by noon, yet durine all that time the two-hundred-foot stand-pipe was kept overflowing. The loss is $2,000 or $3,000 on hay and grain; ul!y insured. - Car-Thieves Arrested, pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, Jan. 28. John (Turk)- Deifcins, JJicbael Welsh, and William Moore, who ' have ben pilfering cars, were arrested last night by Detective Jack Snaarly, of the Panhandle, 1. A. Gorman, late sheriff, and Officer Westenberg, and, ou being arraigned for a preliminary hearing before Mayor Bennett, pleaded guilty. They were a-11 sent to jail in default of $500 bail, to await the action of the grand jury. Two (J., H. & D. cars, from Cincinnati, were broken open last night, before they had been in the yard an hour, and about ten days a?o six caddies of tobaceo, worth $42, were taken from a Panhandle car. Others are suspected, including parties who have been purchasing their booty.

Bx, Lotris, Jan. 28. "Club" Wiley, of Greenup, I1L, and L. E. Drum, of Casey, 111., the two best men of their respective neighborhoods, fought at the latter place yesterday, in the presence of ohout 150 spectators. It was a battle with bare knuckles, to a finish, and according to the London prize-ring rules. Both of the men were well scienced and fought viciously. In the fourth round Wiley's nose was broken in two places. He had the worst of it after the first two rounds, and Drum seemed to have things pretty much as he pleased, until the Bixth and last round. After some slight sparring in thi3 round, Wiley found an excellent opening, and sent in a terrific right-hander on Drum's right eye, which sent the latter reeling to the fioor, senseless. He was unable to respond when time was called, and the fight was awarded to Wiley. It was fully ten minutes before Drum was brought to his senses. . Proposed Telephone Regulation., Springfield, Jan. 23. Among the bills introduced iu the Legislature to-day was one prescribing certain duties of telephone companies, prohibiting discrimination between patrons, to regulate the rental allowed for the use of telephones, and fixing a penalty for its violation. $2.50 per month is the outside rental which may be charged an individual cr corporation for a single telephone. , Brief Mention. Lewis Williams was run over by a switch engine in the Wabash yards at Decatur, Tharsday night, and instantly killed. He was thirty-three years old. His parents reside at Cincinnati, O. An Elgin man, who was hauling a load of cheese-boxes to a factory in Barrington, found that a fence approached so close to the road that there was not room for his wide rack to pass. He cut dowu twenty rods of the fence and thus made room. The owner of the fence threatens to have him arrested. On Thursday, John Frohard, a prominent citizen and business man of Sparta, went to visit a friend, intending to spend a part of the day hunting. Failing to appear at his friend's for supper they went to look for him, and found him lying dead on one side of a fence, his gun on the other. It is thought he was in the act of climbing over whon the piece was discharged, the load entering the right side. He was a member of the Q. A. K. post at Sparta.

On account of some suits recently brought against the Western Union Telegraph Company, the company has declared that it costs more to keep an office here than it comes to, and have ordered their office at this place to be closed Feb. 1. No effort is being made to prevent it, and the citizens are preparing to do their business over the telephone line incase the Western Union dares to carry its order into execution. Three at a Itlrth.

A BIG SCARE. An Alleged Plot to Eob an Express Car on the Big Four Railway.
Minor Notes. Robert Scalf, charged with abducting the wife 5f Thomas Hankins, of Bennington, has been wrested and placed in jail at Vevay. George Cox, ex-sheriff of Duboi3 county, Indiana, died at Jasper on Thursday. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was buried yesterday at Portersville. The captain of the Salvation Array at . Lafayette was before the grand jury, Friday, with the presumed intention of procuring indictments igainst parties who have been disturbing their meetings. John Weieel, of Bartholomew county, came into Columbus from the country, drew his pension ($304), eot drunk and was beaten out of the whole amount, and is now lying ia jail on a ' charge of intoxication. - Old residents of South Bend will doubtless recall the mysterious disappearance of Isaac Kahn, a cattle dealer, fifteen years ago. A citizen was
tried for his murder and acquitted. His sup-
rosed widow married Nathan Goldsmith, a mer-
thant at Aurora, 111. Her brother in New Mexico writes that Isaac is alive and is about to ex
plain his absence. Capt. J. M. Amsden, a former resident of Indiana, committed suicide at Conway, Ark., on Thursday, by taking strychnine. He left a let
ter of instructions as to the distributing of his property end his last wishes to his family, who
reside in Indiana. The deceased was seventy years of age, and has lived a lonely and solitary life for years. There was no cause known for the act. John Harbin, while hauling lumber, twelve miles from Vincennes, was crushed by a pile of lumber falling upon him, receiving injuries from which he died in half an hour. He managed to extricate himself from beneath the lumber, and walked a short distance, when he fell to the ground insensible and expired soon afterward. He was aged thirty-seven years and un- , married. On Tuesday afternoon, at Danville, Will Hammond went to a dental office to have a tooth extracted. The dentist gave him gas and extracted the tooth. The gum bled profusely nd some time later Hammond returned to the dentist and asked to have the bleeding stopped. While under treatment he fainted away, and has not since been able to speak. The doctors say he is paralyzed. It is reported that Henry A. Thorpe, lato trustee of Morgan township, Harrison county, is at home with his family at Bradford. Thorpe was one of the men engaged in tb famous township trustee Swindle with R, B. Pollard, about two years ago, and after be had issued orders on his township to the amount of about $60,000, and disposing of them through Pollard, he fled to -Canada in June, 1885.
Cincinnati Enquirer. The Adams and American express companies' detectives and officials in this city and Indianapolis have been worked up to a high pitch of excitement during the past week by the anonymous letter received last Friday, warning them of a scheme on foot to rob the express car on the cannon-ball train, which leaves this city for Indianapolis at 7 r. m. daily over the Big Four railroad. On the train in question the express companies ship large sums of money and other treasure to
Indianapolis, Chicago and other Northwestern
points. This side of Lawrenceburg, Ind., is a tunnel, at the east end cf which the road-bed is in bad conditien an d has shown signs of sinking. As a consequence a general and imperative order was issued some few weeks since that all trains slow up to a few miles per hour while passing over the daneerous ground. Owing to this and the fact that the spot is a dark and lonely one, it has often been regarded by the officials and trainmen as 'a spot affording train robbers every opportunity of boarding "an express car and successfully executing a robbery. Hence, when, on last Friday, one of the depot men, connected with the American, received an
intimation of an intended robbery, which was to
take place at the mouth of the tunnel, it was re carded with no little alarm. The warning came in the form of an anon
ymous letter, which stated that the attack was
to be made on the evening of Jan. 21 or 25, last
Monday or 1 ne9day nleht
Detective Larry Hazen, who has charge of the
Adams business, was called in, and expressed
the opinion that the scheme as detailed looked like business, and immediately determined to
act accordingly. Three trustworthy men were
selected, and, under the leadership of the vet
eran detective, they quietly boarded the
cannon-ball train on the Big Four railroad
just before it pulled out of the Grand
Central Depot Monday night. The officers seated
themselves at the forward tend of the smoking
car, directly behind the express-car, from the windows of which they could command a full
view of one end of the express-car, which carried
an unusually valuable trust. At the tunnel the
tram passed without incident, and rea, d Indi
anapolis on time without the least signs o.f train
robbers having been discovered. On Tuesday night the precaution was repeated, yet no rob
bers appeared. The matter beeran to assume the attitude of a joke, perpetrated, probably, by some crank who had been reading the Jim Cnmmings stories. It was decided, on consultation, that it would be necessary to exercise extra precaution in guarding this train at least for a week or two, and this is being done. Superintendent Zimmerman, of the Adams, says that he attaches no importance to the report, but still the fact remains that extra guards have been sent out with the run every night.

The Rock Island Express Robbery. Morris, III, Jan. 28. Schwartz, the ex-brake-man charged with the Rock Island express robbery and murder, is suffering severely from nervous prostration, but is better than when he came. It appears now that Schwartz was not indicted by the last grand jury which met, although there is something on this point which the officers do not seem inclined to clear up. More restrictions are being placed upon the jail, and hereafter its freedom will not- be extended to visitors. Schwartz has received letters telling him to maintain absolute secrecy: that detectives are everywhere about him, and that he will be trapped if he talks. Schwartz claims to be able to show that he handled large numbers of $50 bills previous to the Rock Island robbery, and says he would have given full information
in regard to his financial matters had be been
treated fairly. He further says that no threats
will change his determined course. From many
circumstances it is evident that the prosecution
have great confidence in the strength of their
ease.
Michigan Uqaor-lealers Alarmed.
Detroit. Jan. 28. The liouor-dealers and
brewers are badly Beared and etartled by the
certainty that the prohibition amendment will certainly be submitted to the people at the spring election, April 4. They affect to believe
that, owing to the light vote in cities at 6prmz
elections and the heavy vote in villages, where
lies the prohibition strength, the amendment
will earry unless it is fought at every point
The Brewers' Association and the Liquor-deal
ers Association win meet this wees to plan a
method of campaign to be carried on throughout
the State. There are twenty-nine breweries in
Detroit alone, with an invested capital of $1,500,000. The total capital affected by the
amendment would reach $7,000,000.
New Yore, Jan. 28. Business on the river
front, this morning, is almost completely paralyzed, and with the exception of a small
amount of freight being moved by green hands at one or two piers, very little work has been
done on the docks of the principal steamship companies since the strike of the 'longshoremen commenced. The strikers are confident that
they will succeed and gain their demands. Their next more will be to get the pilots in the oceansteamer service to come out. The pilots are or
ganized, and should the order go out for them to
quit work, the strikers hope to stop all transatlantic steamers from v sailing in or out of port. This, the union man rlaim.
will compel the steamship companies to come" to terms. At the National line docks this morning sixty men who were picked up- from various sources were laid off, as they were incompetent. The Wyoming was being unloaded by the men and the sailors of the vessel. The latter are paid 30 cents an hour, in addition to their pay as sea
men. The green hands were immediately taken
in charge by members of the 'Longshoremen's Union, and were organized and became part of the strikers' union. The Erin is
half loaded. She should have sailed yesterday. By Monday the vessel may be ready for sea The Helvetia, of the same line, lies at the
other side of the dock with the bulk of her cargo
still aboard. Affairs were just about the same at the Guion line dock. The usual number of
men employed hf-re Is from 150 to 200. The Wyoming was being unloaded at two gangways only. The Nacoochee, of the Savannah line, sailed on time yesterday, but it was owing to the assistance rendered by the union men, who, after they first turned out, came back voluntarily and completed the loading of her. They, however, refused to accept any pay for their services. The company has always paid the union rates, and the best of feeling exists between the men and the company, but the men turned out from loyalty to their union. The pay is 30 cents per hour for day work and 60 cents for night work for piece workers, or $15 per week, or $35 per month and board. On these terms about sixty green hands were working today on the Tallahassee, which is booked to sail to-morrow. The union men were given until 7 o'clock this morning to take their places, but not a man showed up. The green hands were then put to work. The Old Dominion Company's dock-master says they can get all tba men they want They have about two hundred non-union men at work. The Old Dominion steamer came in last night and men were put to worK on her this morning. The City of Richmond, which should have sailed yesterday, will be readv to sail with the Old Dominion to-morrow. Two hundred Italians, it was stated, had commenced work on the Morean-line pier. The dock-gates were closed and pieces of eanvas were nailed across the bars to prevent any one seeing what was beine done on the pier. A number of police officers were standi ne around the entrance to the wharf. The Britannic, of the White Star, sailed this morning, with a full cargo and all the coal she required. Police Captain Gastlin receives reports from along the whole water front every hour. All was quiet this morning. He said he had been assured by the Ocean Association that the nonunion men would not be molested by the strikers, who were remaining at their homes. They would help the police in case they were called upon. At the headquarters of the Ocean Association this statement was corroborated. The union representative said that the strike was one of the quietest ever known. The union was receiving reports from all points that the strike was progressing favorably to the association. Said he: "As fasWas the companies get green hands together we shall organize them and bring them over to the union. The men on two of the docks will to-day join the union: one is a gang of
Italians. To a man, we are determined to have this thine settled. A conference of union men was held this morning. We now demand 40 cents per hour on ocean steamers for day work, and GO cents for night work." Police Superintendent Gary established another relief depot on the North river front to-day, and a squad of about fifty men are stationed there. The other preparations are kept quiet Up to noon, reports were received that everything was quiet, though the indications were that the strike was spreading. The Lackawanna Railroad Company's piers were all in operation to-day, and a number of non-union boats were loaded. Over four hundred cars of coal were moved into the company's yards.
Judging from the indications to-night, 50,000
'longshoremen, coal-handlers, etc., will be out ou
strike to-morrow. The height-handlers who unload cars at the railroad dock3 sympathize with
the strikers, and will probably quit work to-morrow. At to-day's meeting of the Ocean Associa
tion of 'Longshoremen many non-union men and many freight handlers were admitted to membership. The hands employed at the docks of
the Stonington, Hamburg & People's line and the Pennsylvania road will probably
go out to-morrow. Non-union men em
ployed at the Ward-line docks struck
for union rates. The men employed in loading
the San Marcos also struck for 40 cents per hour for day work and CO cents for nicht work. Their
demands were granted temporarily, it is under stood. The men have joined the Ocean Associa
tion, and will probably strike to-morrow. The
employes, in bodies of three large companies,'
have applied for admission to the union. T hey
number nearly 2,000. Delegates are activelv
engaged in organizing every branch of labor
about the piers and docks of the three cities. Iu
Brooklyn an air of sympathv is rife among the
working classes which bids fair to include many
branches of industry other than those already
affected.
The Tribune says: "The strike of 'longshore
men and coal handlers is likely to assume a new
and serious phase to-morrow, if rumor is true.
It was stated that the Old Dominion Steamship Company had sworn out warrants in the United
States Court charging John J. McKenna, J. T.
Putnam, Patrick McGarland, Thomas McGrath
and J. E. Quinn. of the board of arbitration of
district assembly No. 49, with conspiracy; that these warrants are in the hands
of the United States Marshal and will be served
to morrow. One of the leaders of the strike, when asked as to the position of affairs to-day, srid: 'The outlook is more threatening to-day than at any time since the beginning of the strike. Unless a settlement is arrived at before the end of the week there is a strong chance of the trouble extending much more rapidly. We have no doubt of our ultimate success.' "

Baltimore, Jan- 2a To day, in the Superior Court, a suit was docketed against S. Ruth & Son, tin-can makers, by Assembly 1334 of the Knights of Labor, claiming $20,000 damages for violation of contract The assembly claims that the defendants contracted to pay the union 6cale of prices from Aprii 1, 1880, for one year, which they have failed to observe, thus throwing many men out of employment and causing their sup
port to be a charge upon the assembly, lhe 6uit is a novel one.

Successful Profit-Sharing. St. Louis, Jan. 28. Mr. N. O.'Nelson, a prom
inent manufacturer of this citv, who has had
nearly a year's experience in profit-sharing with
his men, expresses the opinion that it is decidedly the best plan for prevention of strikes and
for maintenance of good feeling between em ployer and employed. Last March he inaugur
ated profit-sharing in the factory of the Nelson
Manufacturing Company, where between fifty
and one hundred men 3re employed. By agree
ment with the men they were to work fifty-five hours per week, receive full pay, and at the end
of the year, after allowing 7 per cent on the capital inrested and paying himself a salary for
his own services, the remainder of the profits was to be divided equally upon the total amount of wages paid and eapital employed. Recently the company declared a divideadof 5 per cent on salaries to employes, which has been paid in eash or in certificates bearing interest The employes, o! their own accord, requested a res turn to full time when they were told tba other manufactories had abandoned the eight-hour plan, and have worked to greater advantage than previously. Mr. Nelson has added several new features to his plan for the present year.
Ten per cent of the profits is to be devoted to the founding of a provident and relief fund for
Concluded from Fifth Page.
auditor "for the occasion," I think that would hardly be conclusive that we were not to elect a clerk the first chance we got But suppose it to be true then, if your Honors please, that upon the death of the Lieutenantgovernor the duties are devolved on some one Zollars Judge Mitchell's position is, all the constitutional duties. Senator Harrison I don't care whether it is all his duties or all the duties, which under the Constitution the Legislature have rightly devolved upon him. Suppose some one else who is said to be President of the Senate "for the occasion" that is the language of the Constitution. Is It not a very forced construction that draws out of that the conclusion that he is to discharge those duties for four years, and that the vacancy in the office of Lieutenant-governor may not be filled? So far from an idea of permanence does not the very grant of authority to elect this roan "'for the occasion" imply a limited and temporary discharge of the duties? Would not the Constitution have said that he shall discharge the duties until the expiration of the term, or until the vacancy is filled,' instead of using these transitory, temporary words of sufference as descriptive of the office that he holds? Mr. Brown May I ask you on that, ought not the courts to follow the construction put upon the words "for the occasion" that the Legislature has put upon those words? Senator Harrison What is that construction? That put on them by Mr. Smith? Mr. Brown No, sir; I mean the construction that has been universally put upoa those words by the Legislature. Senator Harrison What is that? Mr. Brown That has been this, as I remember it; that the Senate would elect a President and that election stood, and in all cases of absence for any cause thereafter of the Lieutenant-governor that person discharged the duties of the office in so far as presiding over the Senate is concerned. Senator Harrison That may be; but still it simply enlarges the "occasion" from that of a day to a week; it still doesn't add any idea of permanence; none whatever; and if your Honors please, the idea of permanence is expressly excluded by the fact that the Senate of Indiana is not a continuing body.. Suppose, instead of being a bold-over Senator, Mr. Green Smith's term had expired with the last Legislature. Where is your President pro tempore? The office necessarily ends with the adjournment of the Legislature. It was anassumption, in my mind an assumption that I cannot fitly characterize here, that the fact that he had been elected at a previous General Assembly made, him the presiding officer of the present Senate, in which there were only twenty-four men who voted for him. It is only because the Senate of the United States is held to be a continuing body by reason of an expressed rule that the President pro tempore holds continuously; and, unlike the Speaker of the House, does not terminate his official existence with the Congress. I say that qualification does not inhere in the Senate of Indiana; it is not a continuing body. And when it elects a President, a President pro tempore for the occasion, his power cannot run into the organization of a new Legislature. Mr. Brown nave you forgotten. General, that the bill avers that General Manson resigned some time in August last, that Smith was elected by the present Senate of Indiana on the 6th day of January, and that all these averred causes of information are subsequent to that date? Senator Harrison I have not forgotten, if your Honors please, those most extraordinary doubleaction allegations in this petition. That this Senate recognized Mr. Smith as being already President pro tempore, and by the same resolu
tion, elected him to be. I Laughter.! A luggle.
if your Honors please, that may have an appropriate place where politicians assetrble, but has
no standing in this court I am not unaware,
too, of the fact that this bill and answer show
that when Mr. Smith was previous'
ly elected President pro tempore of the Sen
ate, Mahlon D. Manson, then Lieu
tenant-governor, wa3 in the chair, and put
the question on his election. Utterly void!
void under the Constitution, which gives the
Senate the right only to elect when the Lieuten
ant-governor is absent Why, so well recognized is the rule that when President Garfield
and Vice-president Arthur came in, at the ex
ecutive session first held the Senate elected no
President pro tempore, and could not, because the Vice-president occupied the chair. And
when that fatal bullet of the assassin killed the
President Congress had to be - reconvened, that the Senate might choose one in order to provide
for the succession. And I remember, too, that
when our own distinguished citizen, Thomas A
Hendricks, whose untimely taking off wo al
mourn, became Vice-president, he, too,occupied
his place in the vice-presidents chair, and did
not give the Senate opportunity to select
President pro tempore; and that when he
died there was no successor, if President Cieve
land had followed his untimely footsteps. And yet we have a case here, and the gentleman calls my attention to it, where it is shown by the papers that this man, claiming to hold over and to have succeeded when General Manson became collector of internal revenue, to the office of Lieuienant governor, was elected, with the Lieutenant-governor in the chair. It is "for an occasion," may it please your your Honors. Words of limitation, characterizing an office as temporary, fleeting and inviting a successor, could not have been more aptly chosen. 1 will not detain' your Honors longer with the diseussion of this question. The limit of time which, I assume, was assigned me has been exhausted. Justice Mitchell We have interrupted you 6ome, and I take it the court will be glad to have you occupy the time needed to conclude your argument Senator Harrison The interruptions have only ornamented my argument Mr. Browu So far as we are concerned, there is no limit of time.
Justice Mitchell Our interruptions mar have
broken the chain of your argument and placed
you at somt disadvantage, and we would be glad
to have you finish.
Senator Harrison If I hare been put to any
disadvantage by the interruptions, it was on
account of the weakness of the advocate, and not of the eause for which I speak. Your Honors, here are two threshold questions of jurisdiction. To the consideration thereof I invoke the careful, thoughtful and conscientious consideration of the court I am sure I need not, by any word of mine, attempt to stimulate your courage to deal with any ques
tion that can be submitted. I It would be a disre
spectful suggestion. Because the court- that.
