eases of fraud, in place of the easy, practicable method now followed of hearings at the local

land offices. It was also urged, as another objection to the section, that it creates a new rale, a total innovation that a sale of the entry roan's eqnity, however barefaced and fraudulent, for a valuable consideration, pastes the title to the purchaser, and the government is bound. The result would be that every fraudulent entry would go into the hands of a "purchaser for value." Aside from this section, th differences between the House and Senate bills were regarded as of minor importance and were easily compromised. The Omnipotent Street-Car Company . Special to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 4 "I am opposed to granting right of way to another street railroad in this city," said a Senator this morninjr, "Biraply because I think the company at present in operation shoula bo compelled to furnish better aoeommodations or give up their charter. It has the best plant in the United States, and pays vast dividends on greatly watered stock, and ye its accommodations are so miserable that we talk of cutting up the streets further by putting down another line to get the advantages which are due the public by the line already in operation." "How would you do it?" "Why, by act of Congress. I am in favor of prescribing certain requirements for the existing company making it 'put on more and better cars, conductors on all lines, etc. and furnishing accommodations equal to the demand. But, after all, I suppose this could not be accomplished, for the company wouid defeat any meas ure of the kind suggested in either house of Congress, and the ouly relief may be in giving the citizens an opposition line, when merit alone will win patronage. Now we patronize the existing company because there is nothing better. The hardest gall I have seen lies in the paid bowl being sent up by the company that there is a job in the granting of right of way for another line. On the same ground, there is a job in every enternrise. It is the clearest case of crying 'stop thief for the purpose of carrying off the valuables. There will be something done in this matter, for our street-car monopoly and the manner in which it is maintained is a national scandal." , - The Interstate-Commerce Rill Signed. Washington, Feb. 4. The President to-day . approved the interstate-commerce bill. This was - In full accord with the opinion of Attorney -gen-' eral Garland, rendered to him on last Monday, . and it is very well understood to be in accord with the views of the Cabinet The Attorneygeneral was asked to-night to give bis views in regard to the bill and explain wherein it differed in i iih unnra mil rvr t itau yd o rwr ht min rt a iV. P i. a vw viimv w 1 a, i vr J VUI J RV TV US opposed on the ground that it was unconstitutional. He declined to do so, saying that he regarded the opinion he had eiven to the President on the subject as strictly confidential. It is . i i - learuea, nowever, irom trustworthy sources, mai ine Attorney-general, as well as the President, consider the bill which has just become a law free from ail the material features which were objectionable :n the Senate bill of two years ago. According to this information, the Attorney-general's objection to the old bill was to the vast powers of a legislative and judicial character that were given to the commission. The Attorney-eeDeral is said to hold that the present bill does not confer judicial powers on the commission, but puts them in the courts on report from the commission, and that it does not confer legislative power except in the fourth section (the ion jr-and-short haul clause), and that this is warranted by numberless precedents m the legislative history of the government. The President hag also approved the act to fix the day for the meetine of the electors of the President and Vice-president, and to provide for and regulate the counting of the vote for President aad Vice-president and the decision of questions arising thereon; the act authorizing the construction of a bridge over the Mississippi river at St. Louis; the act to amend an act entitled "An act to provide for the muster and pay ; of certain officers and enlisted men of the volun teer forces," approved Juno 3, 1884; also, fourteen private pension bills. A Twice-Told Tale. Washington, Feb. 4. Tieasurer Jordan aditted to-day that Secretary Manning is to be he president, and that he (Jordan) is to be the vice-president of the Western National Bank of the city of New York. The resignations of both officials are in the hands of the President and will be accepted in due time. It is expected Mr. Manning will be relieved soon after the adjournment of Congress. It is even said by some that his successor will be nominated before the adjournment. Department officials saytbat everything now points to the promotion of Assistant Secretary Fairchild to the head of the department Treasurer Jordan will not Leave the department before April 1, as there are certain matters he desires to dispose of during the intervening time, and it will be necessary for him to initiate his successor into the duties of the office. Mr. Jordan says that applications have already been made for over four millions of dollars of stock in the bank, and that many people wiil have to be disappointed as the capital is limited to $3,000,000. The bank will begin business about May L In Spite of the Bath. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 4 Representative Reagan won his senatorial fight in Texas the other day purely upon his record on the interstate-commerce bill; and it may be observed that it was one of the very few fights which have been won against railroad opposition. Judge Reagan is not a remarkable man in any respect He is honest, earnest and patriotic to his constituents, but not bright to attraction. On the contrary he is regarded in the House as a poor talker and slow thinker and mover. But he was the earliest in the field for the regulation of railroad traffic on the railroads, and on the record he made goes to the Senate. He is sixty-nine years old, and as kind-hearted and generous as any man. Personal aad General. Sprrfnl to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Feb. 4 James B. Harper, of Fort Wayne, was to-day admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States. . The direct tax bill, which passed the Senate to-day, and , which will likely pass the House, gives Indiana $9,043.75, Ohio $15,670.89. T. O. Chestnut, of Columbia City, is at the Metropolitan. General Browne writes that he hopes to be able to leave the bedside of Mrs. Browne for a couple of days here before the 4th of March. The President made the following nominations to day: Frank Allyn, of Iowa, to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Washington. J. H. Wright, of Missouri, to be Chief -justice of the Supreme Court of the Territory of Arizona. E. A. Man, of Florida, to be consul at Gothenburg. The conferees on the fortifications appropriation bill had a meeting to-day, and considered a number of propositions relating to the subject Another a:etine will be held to-morrow. The indications are that an agreement will be reached :n the end upon a bill very liberal in its terms is compared with the House bill, .which appropriated $600,000, but not carrying an appropriation large enough to meet the views of the Senate. As a result of a conference lasting all day on the anti-polygamy bill, the representatives of the two houses are reported to be Blowly approaching an agreement on a measure more nearly resembling the Hous bill than that passed by the Senate. A further conference will be held to-morrow. The District Supreme Court, In general term, lisraissed to-day the petition of Morris S. Sailer, Alder Creek, Oneida county, New York, asking for an injunction or order to restrain tb Civiltervice Commissioners from exercising their nowers on account of the alleged unconstitutionality of the civil-service law. Judge Hagner, irhe delivered the opinion, said that the Court in general term did not have original jurisdiction f sneh a ease, and that it must come up in duo tours from the court below. Send to C.

Baicide of s Young Lady, Special to the -Indianapolis Journal Anderson, Feb. 4 Ollie Davis, aged twenty years, daughter of A. C. Davis, assistant Doorkeeper of the State Senate, committed suicide this afternoon at her home, three miles west of this city, in the country. The Jyoune lady has been an invalid for a cumber of years and for the past four years has had to use crutches In getting about. She was naturally of a lively, jolly disposition, but felt her misfortune keenly, and at times would become despondent. Miss Davis and a younger brother were the only persons about the house to-day, and the suicide was planned with remarkable coolness and deliberation. Shortly after noon she retired to her room, where she took a bath and then changed her clothing, arraying herself in a complete suit of white. This being done, she took a position in front of a large mirror that surmounts her dressing-case and, placing a self-acting revolver to her left breast, pulled the trigger. The ball Daesed entirely through the body and buried itself in a bed-rail on the opposite side of the room. Death resulted in less man two minutes, and the only word spoken by the girl was immediately after firing the 6hot, she called to her brother, who, at the time, was in an adjacent room.

The second well is piped all over the city, and it is used for light and fuel. Indiana Notes. At Stockwell, near Lafayette, a revival has been in progress since the 1st of January, and there have been 150 accessions to the Methodist Church. It is now an assured fact that Elkhart will have a free deliverv of mail, an inspector hav ing been there and decided she is entitled to it under the new law. There will .be four car riers. Father E. P. Walters, of St Mary's Catholic church, Lafayette, in a sermon urged his congregation to remain from the meetings of the Salvation Army, upon the ground that they were a travesty upon religion, and calculated to bring it into disrepute. At a meeting held on Thursday night by the stockholders of the North Manchester Natural Gas and Oil Company the following board of di rectors was elected: L. J. Noftzger, D. W. Krisher, J. R. Wallace, A. C. Mills, J. J. Mar tin, D. Strauss, D. Sala, B. A. Helm, J. M. Jenmnes.

The subsidy voted by band Creek and Jackson is about $11,000. Illinois Items. J. Finley IToke, the bank forger and embez zler, was safely landed in jail at Peoria yester day. His plea to be placed in the debtors prison was domed, and he was put with the common herd. The report recently telegraphed to the Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago papers that a prize fight had taken place at Casey, between two men named Wiley and Drum, of Greenup and Casey, respectively, is pronounced a canard, having no other foundation than the fact that some young fellows had been amusing themselves with boxing-gloves. THE FIRE RECORD. Four Children Burned to Death In a School Building Near Montreal. Chicago, Feb. 4 A Times special from Montreal says: "The inhabitants of the county of Two Mountains, about thirty miles from here, were startled, yesterday, on learning that the school-house at St. Monique had been destroyed by fire during the night, and that four young girls, who were in it, had perished in the flames. It appears that three sisters, aged ten, eleven and twelve, respectively, daughters of Mr. Ambrose, of Ste.

... FLOODS IN THE E1VEES. The Ohio Eising at Cincinnati, with Indications of a Tery High Stage. Cincinnati, Feb. 4 The river reached 54 feet, 8 inches, at 12 o'clock this morning. It is still rising at the rate of an inch an hour. The apparent deflection to the north of the cold wave increases the possibility of disastrous floods here. Access to tho Central Passenger depot is now cut off, and the Cincinnati Southern, the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St Louis & Chicago, the Ohio Ss Mississippi, the Bee-line, the New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio, the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore, and the Columbus & Cincinnati Mid land roads are compelled to discharge and receive passengers at the Eighth-street crossing. Freight movements are also seriously endan gered, and a little more rise will cut off some of the freight depots. Disastrous floods are reported in the Big Sandy, Little Miami and the Licking rivers. At Falmouth, on the latter river, distilleries and saw-mills and other manu factories were submerged and suffered much loss. The river was full of the contents of fields and granaries. Many bridges on turnpikes were carried away throughout the country. At Butler, ivy., the LiicKing was with in a few inches of the highest mark known, which was in 1854 In Newport, Ky., there is already considerable encroachment on the lower portions of the city. Six inces more of water will cut off street-car travel between Newport and Covineton. The outlook is not so favorable as it was last night. The weather is clear and mud, with the wind from the northeast. Reports from points up the river to day show a rising river all the wav to the headwaters. At Brownsville, Pa., the Monongahela had reached thirty-two feet eight inches and was about stationary. At Parkersburg, W. Va., the Ohio was rising an inch an hour. The Little Kanawha and Muskingum had about ceased to rise. At Point Pleasant the Ohio is rising to-day at the rate of two and one-half inches an hour. At Portsmouth and Maysville, points lower down, the rise is at the rate of two inches an hour. In the lower portions of the city, as well as in Newport and Covington, there are many families removing from lower floors to higher, or out of their houses altogether. The river at 11 o'clock, local time, to night, is 55 feet 5J inches and rising steadily an inch each hour. The Commercial Gazette's specials from all points on the Ohio report it rising, but they report headwaters of all the principal trib utaries falling. The sky here is overcast and threatening, and this, with reports of rain and sleet at St. Louis, Louisville and Evansville, dis heartens river men, who hoped a great rise would be averted, and who now begin to fear the worst. The River at Evansville. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Evansville, Ind., Feb. 4 The river is still rising here at the rate of an inch an hour, and at the government gauge it now marks 40. 2 feet. This is within 7.2 feet of the rise of 18S4, the highest ever known here. The lowlands are now becoming inundated, and farmers are entertain ing great faars of the result Thousands of bushels of corn are in danger of being sub merged. Stock is being removed to high lands as rapidly as possible. The boats of the Evans ville & Cairo Packet Company have abandoned their regular runs and are now engaged in aid ing farmers in removing their families, grain and stock from the lowlanas. Two feet more of wa ter will cover the Kentucky peninsula opposite this city. Couriers were 6ent over this afternoon from this city to notify the people of the preat danger, many of them living back from the river and are not aware of the great height of the wa ter. Reports received here 6ay that several thou sand dollars worth of corn is under water at Casey ville, Ky., while most of the residents of Enterprise, Ind., have been driven from their homes. Hich Water at Nashville. - Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 4 The Cumberland river at this point is booming. The heavy rains or the past lew days have covered a large area and caused a rise of about six feet since Monday. The low lands adjacent to Nashville are overflowed, and many families have been run out of their homes. Reports from Carthage and Burnside indicate a heavy rise yet to reach here, that will cause a further rise of from three to five feet This will force at least one hnndred families to vacate their houses. No danger to life or portable property is apprehended, as timely flood warnings were issued by the Signal office. The river is now 41.3 feet on the guase and rising at the rate of half an inch an hour. The danger line is at 46 feet o High "Water at Madison. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. Madison, Ind., Feb. 4 The water is level with the railroad track on the river front, and is rising at the rate of an inch per hour, flooding cellars and the lower parts of the city. Many buildings, including starch factories, saw-miiis, cooper shops and Bhip-yards, are endangered. Movable property has mostly been shifted to save points. Two feet more of water is expected. The weather is cloudy and cooL The Stage at Louisville. Louisville, Feb. 4 At 11 o'clock to-night the river is rising about an inch an hour, with 30 feet 11 inches in the canal.

New YoKk, Feb. 4 The former parishoners of Father McGlynn are in a melancholy state of mind owing to the unfavorable reports which have been received concerning his health. The sick priest has bnt little strength. He remains in bed most of the time, but occasionally he is placed in a large arm chairs, and propped up with pillows.

THE LABOR DIFFICULTIES.

The Perceptible Change in the Situation at Kew York Additional Strikes. New Yokk, Feb. 4 There was a slight im provement in the condition' of affairs on the river front this morning. The steamship com panies are slowly recovering from the stagnation to business that the strike of the 'longshoremen at first occasioned, and are moving freight with more despatch than in any of the past four or five days. Nowhere is this more noticeable than on the East river front The steamers are being got away on their regular sailing days, and the freight lines are once more receiving and deliv ering gooes, in most cases the work on the steamer pirs is being done by green men, and on the freight lines by the deck hands of the freight boats. The tramp steamers are being discharged and loaded by their own crews, as sisted by Italian or other con-union men. The steamer Niagara is being loaded to-day, and will be ready to sail in time to-morrow. There are about twenty old hands at work on this dock. They were given the advance of 40 cents for day work and 60 cents for night work. At the Bristol-line dock the steamer Warwick was discharg ing with her own crew and fifty Italians. The regular men did not put in an appearance when the boat arrived. The Alamo, of the Mallory, is still at the bulkhead. When she will be ready to sail no one can tell, but an effert will be made to get her cargo in by to-morrow. The City of San Antonio and the Lampassas are also docked, waiting to be discharged. j The strike Is growing in Brooklyn. I he coalcart drivers and sbovelers in the yards alone the Ctownaus canal struck to-day, and also in other rarts of the city. A few con-union men who took their places were in some cases assaulted. The driver of one of Willis s coal-carts was forced to leave his cart, and the coal was dumped in the street One of the Woods carts was also dumped. One of the police precincts was out of coal, ihe captain could get none, as the men were all on strike, roe weighers neipers nave returned to work, their pay being increased. The White Star steamship, Republic, and the Cunard line steamship, City of Chicago, scheduled to sail to-day, with the transatlantic mails, will not be able to get off because of the strike. In an editonal on the strike, in the Standard, Henry Gaorge says: "I think it a fight in the dark, the Blind push of men squeezed past endurance. 1 think it the first passive form of a civil war which steel-clad forts and armorplated ships cannot guard us against the kindline of passions, and the arraying of forces that, roused to full energy, may give cities to the flames, and destroy our very civilization itself." A number of the striking coal-handlers at the docks of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company, at Perth Amboy, returned to work to day. The remainder, it is said, are disheartened, and they will probably all return to work next week. At the headquarters of the Ocean Association, to-day, it was said that Smith & McNeil, restaurant-keepers, had agreed to supply a quantity of provisions for the families of the strikers, and that many landlords had agreed not to press them for rent Supplies were offered also by butchers and bakers. The strikers on the pier of the New Haven & nartford railroad. East river, were to day admitted into the union. This makes over four hundred admitted this week. The caulkers and jointers at work repairing the Guyandotte, the Old Dominion steamer that was damaged by the explosion of an infernal machine, struck to-day. They had no grievances, but struck out of sympathy with the freight-handlers. Their places will be filled tomorrow by con-union men. The coopers employed along the Diers with the millwrights joined the strike to-day. The painters and mechanics on the Guion line struck to-day. The Italians who took the places of strikers at the II udsoh river depot quit work this afternoon. The Lohigh valley company closed its pier gates at 3 p. M. The Pennsylvania and Jersey Central, and, in fact, all other piers along the river fronts, had the same blockade and difficulty in moving freight. The committee of the State Legislature to investigate the coal-handlers' strike met to-day and listened to the evidence of a number of the strikers. Their evidence was concurrent to the general effect that topmen could earn about $23 per' month and trimmers about $40; that trimmine is highly injurious to the lungs, necessitating heavy outlays for medicines and causing death in a few years; that the coal companies take from Id to 25 per cent out of their wages for collecting the money due them from the captains of the boats loaded; that the same deduction is made when the boats belong to the company itself. They consider this an unnecessary charge and as sertea tne necessity or an advance in wages in order to enable them to support their families. Mr. Beecher'g Opinion of the Knights. New York, Feb. 4. In the course of his reply to a toast at the annual banquet of the Am herst Alumni Association to night, Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said: "This abomination, the Knights of Labor, is the result of this infernal idea of paternity of governments. Because a few men in New Jersey think their employers have wronged them, all this Nation is called upon to suffer on the order of this paternal government of the Knights of Labor. This is from want of intelligence. God knows I am a friend of the workingmen. I am a work lngman. 1 came from working stock. My grandfather and his father were blacksmiths, and my mothers people worked in leather. The j working people are being taken care of by the Knights of Labor instead of taking care of themselves, and people all over the land are be ing punished and business is stagnated because of it Just.Jecause a few men in Jersey have aone wrong, ine destruction or tne poor is their Ignorance." f Threatened Riot at Port Sharon. Pittsburg, Feb. 4 A Port Sharon, Pa., special says: There is well-based anticipation of a riot here, to-morrow, between the striking furnacemen of the vicinity and the furnace em ployes of the Atlantic and Sharon iron compa nies. The latter have refused to strike, claim ing that as they only asked for an advance of 15 cents, which was immediately granted, they have no grievances. The 1,400 employes of the other furnaces demand 10 cents more, and to-night in timate that they will visit tne obstinate work men and request them to quit work. Upon a re fusal, they threaten to drive them from the works. The Trouble at Pensacola. Pensacola, Fla., Feb. '4. The turmoil caused by the quarrel in the labor ranks as to the way in which contracting stevedores should work and pay their men was increased yesterday. One hundred and fifty men in the Louisville & Nash ville warehouse struck work and swore that new men should not take tbeir places. The city com missioner offered the marshal to furnish pro tection. The new men were placed in cars and moved to the warehouse on tbe wharves under the protection of the police. , The Monongahela Miners. Pittsburg, Feb. 4. Five coal firms along the Monongahela river have conceded the demands of their employes, and are cow in operation. There are indications that the executive board of the Knight3 of Labor, which is examining the books of the coal operators, will agree upon 2 cents. "If this be true," said one of the representative miners this afternoon, 'I think the men could be induced to accept it as a compromise. But if the board decides on 2i cents, they will not accent Chicago Printers Threaten a Strike. Chicago, Feb. 4. There are premonitions of difficulty between the publishers of the Chicago daily papers and the Typographical Union. The union had advanced the price of composition from 37 cents per 1,000 on the afternoon papers to 40 cents, and on tbe morning papers from 40 cents per 1,000 to 45 cents, and have given the publishers the necessary thirty-days' notice. The publishers decline to accede to the advance, and demand that the question shall be submitted to arbitration. The printers, on tbe other hand, say they have been beaten twice by arbitration, and that they will not submit their claims to such tribunal again. It is difficult to tell what the resale will be. As all the publishers stand

together, the contest will be watched with considerable interest, as it involves four or five hundred men. The union men claim that there are very few non-union printers in Chicago, and that the publishers will have to come to their terms or stop publishing. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

Sore Eyes

. The eyes e 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 prodnced a painful inflammation in -my eyes, caused me much suffering 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.

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, Glover, 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.
